Pathe city school payroll shows that of the 107 men and 202 women on the school pay- roll only three women get less than $150 per month and that all the others get from $150 up to $200 a month for their regular work, Thirty-six men and 61 women each draw a monthly salary of $200. THE SEATTLE STAR LETTERS 10 EDITOR} Thinks Rodeos Degrading show the skill and dexterity of some Wditor The Star: I have always tried to avold as far an possible any argument with a lady, but after reading Mre. EB. M. Ba sarcastic reply to L. M Clark's letter I rise to inquire Jf Mra. EB. M. B ever had the pleasure of attending a redeo or round-up. And while I am on my feet I would like to say I have witnessed several and taken part in a few, having been raised in a country where such things are as common as hold-ups in Seattle, but although I am not exactly chicken-hearted, I fall to derive any pleasure from seeing animals crippled in order to of the so-called for such contests being fair, “cowboys” n the other half of the show come these And as How often, cowboys. wo gots half a chance at fair play, take to the fence like #o many cats at & musical? path No, Mrs. E. M erin. B, tt ts not “hor rible” to kill young calves providing they are killed in the way they should be, but it sure is horrible to kill them by inches for the anluse ment of folks who pay good money In addition to this, 140 or more teachers draw $54 a month and upward for evening work. This money is paid them “whether school keeps or not.” The work is five days a week with two months’ summer vacation and a week's vacation at Christmas and Easter. Is it any wonder that there is @ list of 3,000 applications for Seattle schools. How many hands of families are making within $50 of that amount a month, working siz or seven days a week and no vacation? Would any other city in the whole United States pay such wages? Would any other city in the United States allow “Kaiser Cooper” to hoodwink them as the taxpayers of Seatfle do? Dear Sir and Brother Axpayer: It does seem a bit tough on the citizen who finds it hard going to provide his progeny with a meal ticket to see hundreds of comfortable folks on public payrolls, secure in apparently easy jobs, at a scale of wages higher than most workers can today acquire. A, T. AXPAYER. But it ‘was less than two years ago that the school teachers of this city were on the average getting less than raw, unskilled workers who monkeyed for a few hours a day with a hammer, tapping light-heartedly thru the rosy hours at a drab rivet in the belly of a ship. Finally, you know, these teachers are the only insurance policy for the future of America. Our public schools determine the future of the nation, and the teacher who trains and guides and educates your cond len aii belie ewer. ocrwab : Another Tip ties the ashes; but until reeentty Speaks Twice for.
