Under the Capper measure they could have received an average of $1,769 she sald, while the proposed legisfation will' give them $2,217. Various features of the new bill were discussed by a dozen teacher group leaders. = Miss Selma Borchardt, leader of the groups, fol- lowed with a summary of the argu- ments., “We ask an equitable salary schedule because, first, we. are pro- fessional people, and as such are serving the community,” said Miss The broad general knowledge required in all profes- sional work as prerequisite to the specific work performed, applies varticularly to the teaching profes- sion, “According to the 1920 census a median professional salary in the United States is $3.200. _Consider how poorly we compare with this. “We are not asking for this salary for inefficlent or unqualified teachers. We do not want the poor teacher in the system. We ask that provision be made for giving | full credit for teaching experience to the teacher in the system, and that the bill be not drawn up as to discriminate against the teacher who has given long vears of fuithful | vervice to the corps. “We also ask that all | who have S now average $1,764 a year. accord- [tho dutles assigned | t teachers | t satisfactorily performed Ethel Prince, legislative chairman of PINDLER 607 12th N.W.—M. 2704 lean and Press 1464 1674 1,741 to them be blanketed in_any bill enacted. In doing 20 we feel the board would be following the precedent which was established in 1906 and in 1812." Miss Borchardt urged that any new salary legislation contain a single salary schedule. Miss M. Gertrude Young also gave support 'to Miss Berchardt's plea for a single salary schedule which would give “equal pay for equal qualifications regard- less of where the service is ren- | derea.” Both Miss Borchardt and Miss Young pointed out that 154 citles in the United States at present have single salary schedules which “en- courages professional training, pro- motes the morale of the corps and recognizes us as all belonging to one great profession. all striving equally to gerve the public and develop the child.” Limitation Deplored. The limitation placed on the num- ber of teachers admitted to the su- perior group B classification was de- plored by Miss Borchardt, claiming that it is degrading, unprofessional and Is featured by a competitive ele- who spoke on different phases of the legislation were Mrs C.
