CUT IN PAY OF CITY TEACHERS ;
AVERAGES 50%
Survey Of Entire Country Reveals
General Reduction In Salaries Also '
In The Size Of Faculties.
WASHINGTON, — Reports to the J
United States Office of Education indi- 1
cates that teachers salaries in cities of
more than 100,000 population have j
been cut an average of about 5 per cent
for the current year, Expenditures for j
capital outlay, such as new buildings, j
have been reduced more than 37 per
cent.
Current expenditure reductions have |
varied from 1.5 per cent in the North
Atlantic States to 20.5 per cent in the
South Central group.
Chicago Not Included
Incomplete returns for the entire
country show a teachers' salary cut of
4.9G per cent. Since total expenditures
are down an average of 5.32 per cent,
the Federal office says it is apparent
salary reduction are soaking up most
of the economics made.
It is argced that the sadary reduction
is in fact much greater than 4.96 per
cent. New York, where salary schedu
les wore unchanged, was included in
this figue, while Chicago was not. But
New York teachers, it was pointed out,
have given for relief more than $2,000,
000. while in Chicago teachers have
been paid in warrants which are dis
counted.
The survey indicates that the size of ]
the teaching staff in cities of more than 1
100.000 has been reduced an average of j
2.13 per cent, while school enrollment!
has increased 1.39 per cent. The latter
means an increase of 240 pupils in an
enrollmena of 17.400. In a Western city,
where the increase was 5.45 per cent,
this means about 950 pupils.
The reports indicate that the assess
ed value of property yielding school I
funds has decreased 7 5 per cent. About
two-thirds of 478 cities, with popula j
tiinns »f from 10,000 to 100.000 report
that some service of the schools have [
been curtailed or abandoned. A few
schools, however have increased serv
I
ices.
