An Open Letter to Representative Bingham by a High School Teacher. ‘The Star has received for publication the following “open letter’ addressed by a “High School Teacher’ to Representative Bingham of Pennsylvania concerning the salaries of public school teachers: The Evening Star of March 15 you with the following stateme are 221 days in the year when the t are not employ=d, the holidays and the am certainly willing to a believe your own statement. But to make such a striking statement without having credits “There information on the subject, and espe- yt it such public uttzrance, is doubly culpable in a man occupying your tual count of ar. 1900 your statement ond the fac From an the t pr Aggerated one-fifth be Tam nt too large. The teacher: three day two full than you said. But coui that { ail matter and easil lends itself to the making of a Sensation stat2ment. Had you told the Mteral fact and said that we are unemployed for 178 days dur- ing the year 1900 you would have created a very false impression, for there are fifty- two Sundays and n legal holidays on which no government employe is required to work. Had you deducted these fifty-nine days and s: that we had 119 unemployed days you would still have created a false im- pression, for the teachers are, by force of circumstances, frequ2ntly compelled to work beyond ‘the ated hours of labor, performing clerical work or arranging or collecting material for the next day’s reci- tations. In addition to this, many an even- ing hour do they spend planning the next day’s teaching and corr2cting exercises and examination papers. Not infrequently Sat- urdays are thus employed. Teacher: ings are also held outside the stated hours of labor. To make even a sup2rficially fair state- ment you should have deducted from the remaining 119 days the thirty working days’ leave of absence given to other government and then said that we work nine days less than the average goy- ernment emplo And a man who was anxious to have the whole truth brought before the House, and who cared nothing about making s2nsa tional statements 20 per cent beyond the literal, superficial facts, would have taken pains to add that, in view of the extra la- bor necessarily performed by the teachers, and in view of the great nervous strain to which they are subjected for nine months of the year, !t would be manifestly unjust to hold up the efghty-nine unemployed days in condemnation of an attempt to secure a more adequate compensation for faithful services which are rendered consci2ntiously and with devotion, and which are of vital importance to the community and to the state. Preventive education is far better than corrective |2gislation. Your remark about the alleged 221 unem- ployed days was adduced to show that Washington public school teachers are well paid. There are many considerations bear- ing upon this question. First, you should consider the Importance of the work, its value to the state and the necessity of hav- ing men and women of character, educa- tion and force engaged in it. The teacher aiso needs to have an understanding of the child mind and Its operations, and should have a sympathy and affection for his pu- pils. Tact and a ready resource are almost indispensable parts of his equipment. And yet, sir, you and your colleagues, Messrs. Allen and Grout, want te make us believe that the present salarics are suffictent tc remunerate men and women pcssessing such qualifications. Many who might have gone into the public school work have been deterred by the wretched pay. They could do much better in other occupations, not to mention professions. Now, why should those who have devoted themselves to the work be punished for their devotion to it by being given smaller salaries than are paid to comparatively uneducated persons, such as messengers, computers and copyists in the departments. Boys just graduating from the High School not infrequently step into positions in the commercial world and in the departments paying more than the average High School teacher receives. Is it right to demand character, a college edu- cation, force, tact, sympathy and ex- perience as qualifications for High School positions and yet refuse to pay these teach- ers as much as is paid to tHe above-men- tioned persons with far inferior qualifica- tions? I believe that the teacher expends more nerve force and vital energy during a teaching year than a department clerk does during the calendar year. Yet $1,200, the utmost that only.a few teachers can ever hope to receive, is what is considered only an average salary in the departments. The director of the high schools once said to the writer, in substance: “‘We must have men in this work; but we do not expect to keep them more than three or four years, because we cannot pay them enough to keep them.” I wonder if this notion of working elghty- nine days less than the average government clerk is responsible for our smaller salaries. In view of that possibility I wish to sub- mit the following considerations: Our work is such that i class, to eke out our salaries by obtaining other work on those days when we are not engaged in teaching. Indeed. it woul: be desirable even if it were possible Saturdays and twelve other working days during the teaching year can be ac for in this way. The nature of our work is such, also, that neither teacher nor Fupils can be occupied more t ent with any advantage to the education. Our expe oon dw entire twelve months, but our to us during only ten.

Boston {s liberal in pay but, then, sir, you mus ng her teachers t remember th t Boston appreciates the value of educational work. In Washington there is no such thing as an annual increase, and there seems to be no system of promotion, and on this account promotions often work injus- tice to deserving teachers.

Beside, if they help to bring in Mr. Bryan on the cry of anti-imperialism ¢it would no more let the Philippines go than it would part with the collectorship of a custom house. Once in power, the demo- crats would immediately say that the wick- ed republicans had fastened these islands upon the country, and the only thing to do is to make the best of them, and the most out of them. What ts necded in their own behalf is not the antagonism of those of our republican friends who have gone off from us on the Philippine question, but their co-operation. “The administration {s floundering in no uncertainty. It is pursuing a straightfor- ward course to order and peace and good government. In dealing with our new island territories the interesting question has arisen whether the limitations of the Con- stitution extend by its own force to them, or whether Congress has full power over them. For myself, I have never doubted that Webster, the great expounder of the Constitution, was right in the opinion that islands ceded to us gre subject to legisia~ tion by Congress. “What is constitutionally true of the Phil- ippines, is true, also, of course, of Porto Rico. The vital point at stake is the con- stitutional one. All the rest is a question of what is the wisest and best thing to do in the way of legislation. Of one thing I am sure, that Porto Rico in its present con- dition needs help, and that help has been given, at the suggestion of the President, by an appropriation of more than two mil- Hons of dollars for her relief. But I also think there has been a great deal of ex- aggeration of the importance of the ques- tion of subjecting imports from Porto Rico to a customs duty. Of the constitutional right to impose it I have no doubt. Of its wisdom, Congress must judge. “There is strength in the argument for this small customs tariff on imports, that iit is the easiest way for the internal ex- penditure of Porto Rico to be raised. If it does not put the Porto Ricans on an equal- ity with ourselves by giving them free trade, it is only because it gives them semething more liberal even than free trade without the relief above stated would be.” ———eee. > Property Withdrawn.

The steamer Hongkong Maru, just ar- rived at San Francisco from the orient, brings from Hongkong news of a surpris- ing state of affairs existing in the Philip- pines. The correspondent of a Hongkong paper sends the following uncensored let- ter to his journal: MANILA, February 13. It is a strange state of affairs that exists in the Philippines today. Improvement is visible in nearly every quarter. Civil gov ernments are rapidly being established in every town of importance, and garrisons and patrols are in process of extension wherever Americans hold territory, and yet it is an undeniable fact that since January 1 the insurgent forces have captured @ number-of rifles and quantities of ammuni- tion from the Americans almost equaling the sum total of American captures from the insurgents. Besides this, the casualty rate for the last two weeks will come very close to being heavier than at any other period of the insurrection, with the excep- tion of the time of the outbreak and the fortnight beginning with March 25, 1899. The threatened guerrilla warfare seems to be a reality, and parties of fifty or smaller numbers are ambushed and “jumped” day after day. Supply trains, smail escorts and scouting parties are the special objects of attack, and the country is said to be full of small, roving bands, waiting at every convenient cover until the prey is caught In one or two instances heavy patrols of strong scouting parties have quickly avenged these raids by setting out immediately and hunting down and killing as many of the marauders as possible. These lessons have not been forgotten, and in the immediate districts there have been no repetitions of the trouble. The authorities are giving the question considerable attention, and every effort will be made to insure the public safety, for on this depends the future of the country. The Intransigeant of Paris has a tele- gram received by Agoncillo, Aguinaldo’s envoy, announcing that the Filipino Gen. Pavia has routed the Americans near Cu- bat and taken the town.
