OF CHILDREN
(Continued from page 1)
In a certain town of 111., for in
stance, the average wages of fifteen
miners for one month was $217, while
the average monthly salary of fifteen
teachers in the same town was $55.
In another town a miner, who, by
the way, was an enemy alien, drew
more than $2,700 last year, while
the salary of the high-school principal
in the same town was $765. We wel
come with all our ^arts the long-be
lated recognition wtiich is being given
the man who works with his hands.
We believe that this same working
man will be the first to join with us
in asking better pay for those who
teach his children.
No wonder there are fifty thousand
vacancies in the teaching forces of
the schools. No wonder the ranks
are being filled with weak men and
immature women who merely use
the profession as a stepping-stone to
something better. No wonder there
are thirty thousand teachers in the
United States who have no schooling
beyond the eighth-ggrammar grade.
Small wonder, indeed, that seven mil
lion of our school-children are being
■>-’« - -
trained by teachers,' mere boys and
girls themselves, who have no pro-
fesional education whatever.
When we consider that the 740,000
teachers of America kre paid an aver
age salary of $630 a year; when,
moreover, we consider the fact that
living costs has actually advanced
103 per cent since the beginning of
the war, thereby cutting the^buying-
power of these insignificant salaries
in half, we can easily determine that
only a fool or a martyr would choose
teaching as a profession, or would
long remain in it unless these terrible
conditions were swiftly remedied.
What a crime is this! What an in
dictment! What an unpardonable
shi at the doors of an enlightened
people who now find themselves at
the head and forefront of the democ-
the nation been so clearly committed
into the Jiands of the teachers. And
yet thousands of men and women of
ability who would to teach are reluc
tantly leaving their choosen calling,
forced by the hard necessities of their
very existence.
The teachers ask no largess at the
hands of fortune. They enter their
profession for service, not riches. But
they invest years and money in pre
paration for their life-work and the
knowledge they gain is shared with
others who themselves use it to their
own profit. Teachers, then, by every
right and in all justice expect a re
turn that will permit them and their
dependents to live decently and in
comfort.
In every community reached by
The Literary Digest there are readers
of foresight, of vision, broad-minded
men and thoughtful women who will
see—nay, perhaps have long since
seen—the critical and compelling im
portance of this problem. We are
directing this appeal to them. We
urge them to compare the salaries of
their teachers with the wages of those
who are doing work of equal value, j
There will be a challenge in the facts
that will stir the community to action.
Let each community invest in
schools that it may thereby invest in
a trained manhood and womanhood
that can play their part in the great
period of rebuilding and reconstruct
ion that lies before us. Let each
community Set for its goal, as far as
is practicable, a minimum wage of at
least $1,000 a year for the teachers
of America. This would cost the na
tion perhaps as much as we spent so
gloriously in but one week of the
Great War.
We are not pleading merely for the
welfare of some single profession;
we are not pleading for a special
class; we are pleading for America:
for her larger, her brighter, her richer
future, for the fulfillment of her glo-
«
rious promise. We are pleading for
a coming race of men and women who
shall be qualified to make complete
the work of our forefathers who foun-
