I LEGISLATIVE ODDS
AND ENDS
ESasiailSKBHBSiaBB
(BY JOHN C. TRICE.)
Tallahassee, May 11. The report
liara ThnriulaT flight a tO
" . . I the content of the decision of the
the teaching forces of the schools. No wonaer
supreme court in a liquor case decided
habitual thirst. They had visions qi
four quarts (or maybe four cases)
speeding from some of the wet cities.
But that smile faded on the following
morning when the paper was received
here and the real purport of the de
cision was learned. - .
There are some senators, so their
noiipn triioa sav. who will be very care-
ful to know what is on the calendar
and what is going to come up oeiore
they leave the chamber again. The
job put over on the friends of large
citrus canker appropriations, has been
the talk of the town. Jt may not
defeat the appropriation as original
ly Intended, but it Is the Joke of the
session, and those who are the brunt
of it could not learn to smile for some
time after it happened.
J OR THE FOSTER-PARENTS
It is strange that the genercus-hoarted Amer
ican people, who poured out tneir riches so prodi
gally in response to every patriotic, every char
itable appeal and who accorded such enthusias
tic and liberal support to every measure and to
every group that helped win the war, should
have neglected to properly encourage and re
ward the services of one of the noblest profes
sions in the field of human activities the pro
fession that in lofty ideals, in unselfish prin
ciples, in sacred responsibilities, stands side by
side with the ministry of the Gospel itself, says
the Literary Digest of May 10.
We wish to bespeak, with whatever power and
authority we may have and wish such words as
may be granted to us, some measure of consid
eration for the foster-fathers and mothers of our
children the school-teachers of the United
States of America. -"'
There is no class of workers of which we de
mand so much. We commit into their keeping
the minds, the bodies, and the very souls of our
children in the tender and formative years of
their lives, and they, receiving these children, can
indeed be said to hold in the hollow of their hands
the future of America. We expect these devoted
men and women to watch over and care for our
sons and daughters as though they were their
very own, to drill them in the arts and sciences,
to train them for business and for citizenship, to
instruct them in manners And in morals, to do for
them those things which we would do had we
the training and the leisure.
No class has assumed so heavy, so trying a
burden and a responsibility with puch willingness
as these consecrated men and women. No class
has performed their increasingly heavy tasks
more devotedly, more conscientiously, and with
less thought of self. No class served their coun
try more whole-heartedly, more loyally, during
the trying and tempestuous times of war, day by
day pursuing their round of duty, day by day
helping the young people," and through the chil
dren the parents, to see the struggle in its true
light, thus securing the co-operation of the com
munity in every measure undertaken by the
government to win the war.
Truly tHey have made the nation their ever
lasting debtor. Truly had they not done their
work so well this republic would not outlast the
span of a generation.
What then have the teachers received at our
hands in return? They have received little of
honor and somewlitat less of pay. Other classes
have prospered; other classes through powerful
organizations have secured generous wages. The
teachers have no spokesman, however, to demand
even the simple justice of a living wage, so to
them we give their petty pittance, so meagre, so
pitifully inadequate, that it places a burning
brand of shame and disgrace upon this nation.
The men and women who are making the
Americans of tomorrow are being treated. with
less consideration than the janitors who sweep
out the buildings in which they are employed;
they are earning on the average, less than the
wages given to the scrubwomen employed in the
public buildings of the United States govern
ment. Normal-school graduates receive less sal
ary than street sweepers ; high-school principals
and superintendents. less than section foremen;
country school teachers less for instructing the
farmer's children than he pays his hired man to
feed his hogs.
In a certain town in Illinois, for instance, the
average wages fo fifteen miners for one month
was $217, while the average monthly salary of
fifteen school 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
thesametown was $765. We welcome with all
our hearts the long-belated recognition' that is
being given to the man who works with his
hands. We believe that this sme orkingman
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 ranks are being filled with weak men andday. ffund
- . I.... ... . ja fleAn a r
with immature women who merely use tne pro
fession as a stepping-stone to something better.
No wonder there are thirty thousand teachers in
the United States who have had no schooling be
yond the eighth grammar grade. Small won
der, indeed, that seven million of our school
children are being trained . by teachers, mere
boys and girls themselves, who have had no pro
fessional education whatever. 1
When we consider that the 740,000 teachers
of America are paid an average salary of $630 a
year; when, moreover, we consider the fact that
living costs have 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 profes
sion, or would long remain in it unless these
terrible conditions were swiftly remedied.
What a crime is this! What an indictment!
What an unpardonable sin at the doors of an
enlightened people who now find themselves at
the head and forefront of the democracies of "the
world I How can we better prepare for the great
undertakings of reconstruction than by setting
ourselves immediately to remedying this perilous
condition. In these crying and chaotic times
when the world is beset by unrest, by anarchy,
by revolution, by the devil's blood of appalling
evils that follow in the train of war, we must
make sure that the foundations of our republic
are set on a rock that it may stand against the
flood. -
The peace and security of the world of the fu
ture will be in the safe keeping of' the genera
tion now in our schools. These boys and girls
must "
tion. Their hands must minister to the wounds
of the nations. Their minds must meet and
solve the difficult and crucial problems that will
be their inheritance. -Their hearts must be so

100 per cent American instructors to drive home
the vital lesons that these times hold. Never has
the future of the nation been so clearly committed
into yie hands of the teachers. And yet thou
sands of men and women of ability who would
prefer to teach are reluctantly leaving their
chosen 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
preparation 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 return that
will permit them and their dependents to live
decently and in comfort.
In every community there are people of fore
sight, of vision, broad-minded men and thought
ful women who will seenay, perhaps have long
since seen the critical and compelling import
ance of this problem. We urge them to compare
the salaries of their teachers with the wages of
those who are doing work of equal value. 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 reconstruction 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 nation perhaps as much as
we spent so gloriously in one week on the great
war.
We are riot 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 fulfilment of her glorious 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 founded this nation and
dedicated it to liberty, and who will bring to full
fruition the new victories that we have won in
freedom's cause. .We are pleading for a wider
teaching of the principles, the purposes, and the
ideals of this nation that all men shall know her
meaning ad shall have equal access to her op
portunities ; that the light of Americanism will
so shine that it will flood-every home, every
heart, JjMrjr great land.
These ideal days and luring night
are the inspiration for many picnics
on the lake shores near the capital.
If you should arrive here to see a mem
ber of the law-making body and no
one can tell you where he is, just ask:
"Where is the nicnic being had today."
Dan't blame them, folks. -All work and
no nlav makes Jack a dull boy. Ana
