Paying Teachers On Merit Basis

are free to express themselves in the
school and in the community.
No really meritorious teacher will
slack off, if he is we'll paid to begin
with, because he is not given an extra
reward. On the other hand, many of
us ordinary teachers, working along
with teachers we feel to be better
than ourselves in some ways. will do
our best in order to justify the good
pay we too get. A fixed pay scale is
not scheme that encourages medioc-
rity; it is scheme that frees the in
dividual to act and speak according
to his conscience and need rather than
according to a calculation of probable
effects on his unfiXed salary. There
are enough factors making for con-
formity in a teachers situation with
out adding differentials in salary.
If one wishes to see the havoc that
can be wrought by merit rating sya-
tenn, let him visit campus where
some confident administrator has
freely used his judgment in awarding
substantial pay differentials to the
staff. If he goes the next year he
will find no added devotion to duty
that can begin to offset the resent
ment, the undone confidence, the
sycophancy and the suspicion that
have taken deep root in the spring
time of merit-rating. No doubt there
are many situations where mediocrity
rules and teachers seem to get little
done. The trouble here is probably
the mediocrity that is seated on the
school board or in the principals of

courage rather than extra pay.

goes on and threatens to increase. Such
cation in Montana and lowers the quality.
We think that faculty members should
help in another try at this difficult prob
lem, difficult because so many personal
and community interests are involved.
Faculty members are usually taxpayers
and very often fee-paying parents; they
are concerned about good education and
financial support for good education; they
are relatively free enough from community
pressures to be fairly disinterested and
objective-minded on, this important ques-
tion of expensive and unnecessary duplica-
ton. There is a Faculty Council-little-
privileged at the present time-composed
of elected representatives from all the di-
visions of the University system, which
might cut it's wisdom teeth on this hard
bone
Faculties over the country would like
to be made more responsible for education.
Dir. Max Savelle, professor of history at
the University of Washington, begins an
article in the last Bulletin of the American
Association Of University Professors, "It
is curious anomaly that in the United
States, which thinks of itself as the most
democratic country in the world, the un-
versities, which should be living labora-
tories of democracy, are probably the most
undemocratic in the world.' He makes
clear how the ''businessman's concept" of
what a university is-the president as the

of the student. 1t assumes that if the puni-
tive aspects of the examination and grad
ing systems were removed, he would do
nothing and learn nothing. This is non
sense If we stop treating the student as
if he were sullen child who is only willing
to learn if we threaten him with a bad
grade, we would release new fund of
student energy which is now wanting to
be put to positive use."
There are funds of energy in faculties
too that waiting to be put to more posi-
tive use. President Arnold loyal of Fresno
State College in California has recently
said about faculty participation in univer
sity policy formation and administration:
'The concept that administration is team
work is coming more and more to be ac
cepted everywhere. The concept implies
that the combined thinking and efforts of
a group working together will produce
better result than the best efforts of any
one Individual" Better results amount to
economy.
In August VOICE DR.. Sletten de-
scribed the hard but necessary task of re-
districting Montana's school system. A
comparable task, both in Importance and
difficulty, is the prevention of unnecessary
duplication of work in higher education.
This is not a new issue. The State Board
OF Education, Chancellors, Presidents, Citi-
zens committees, Taxpayers association,
