POORLY PAID TEACHERS

The teachers are probably the mosc

poorly paid this season of any classof American workers. Thousands ofable young instructors and profes%sors have abandoned the schools and

colleges, and gone into business pursuits;and many women teachershave found other occupations. Colleges have been making the most

strenuous efforts to find means with».-1" v. tVio ca1nrip« ofVY liiV/ii iu t-aot vuv uw.w* «-vw i

their corps of instructors. Harvard'University, for example, has organizeda campaign for an immediatesum of $15,000,000 as fresh endowment,the income of which is to be

applied chiefly to an increase in the

pay of teachers.Temporarily the shortage of betterteachers for public schools will .

be to the advantage of the untrainedand immature, especially .in smalltowns and country districts. The

larger school systems will, even more

than heretofore, offer inducements to

the good teachers from the countryAt least, school-keeping will be shakenout of some old ruts. It is to be

lioped that the resulting situation

may stimulate the movement for con** - A " ' 1 - V, ^ +VlOsonaanng rura.i &cuuum, cuxu. ivi

adoption of a deliberate 'policy on the

part of State government f<?r the

maintenance of rural life. Countrychildren should be as well instructedas those of the larger towns and cities.One of the results of the shortageof teachers, furthermore, may

be the revival of conscious and deliberateeducational effort in the

home. Where the school teachers are

young girls without professionaltraining, who engage in the work as

a temporary mlake shift, it is not

wise to rely too entirely upon schoolsfor educating children. Sharp distinctionshould be made between professionalteachers of character, experienceand ' proved success, and

those of the casual kind. The professionalteacher should be well paid,and should be restored to that positionof honor and influence in the

community that belonged to the

schoolmaster of an earlier day..American Review of Reviews.
