If we expect people to look up to teachers and their profession, give them salaries that will allow them to live in 4 manner fitting a teacher. I don't have to point out what it costa to live and dress decently to- day, You will anewer, perhaps, that these grievances will be met by the new salary bill Ali the energy and enthusiasm spent by the tedching force in getting salary increases might have been used to better a vantage in keeping this radical te dency from creeping into our schouls. It should not have been necessary for such @ contest to take place where it was not needed, Ts the new salary bill entirely sat- isfactory? No, It is true that if will increase the salaries of most of the teachers considerably, but not enough and for this reason: A teacher to- day in her second and even third year of teaching earns the meagre salary of $75 per month, a shameful lary compared to that of the aver age shop girl and not even com- parable to ‘trained workers. such as stenographers or bookkeapers. That is her salary before her pension, amounting to approximately $4.50 monthly, is deducted. Is this a sal- ary for a girl of training? The salary in the new ill if it) came at once would be tolerably ade- quate, But think of a teacher wait- ing three full years before the en- tire increase is reached, when these other entiohed receive creases in salary without waiting any such length of time and much more ‘| often in fact, By the time the entire increase in the new salary bill |x reached, the gap between a teacher's and a shop girl's salary will be as great again, no doubt, ag it is to-day What kind of inducement far as salary !s goncerned—and all must be more or less material to-day— is there for » girl to enter the, pro- feasion of teaching?
