That the public school teacher In Oregon can save on an average only 54.66 per month out of his salary is the information the Marlon County Principals' Association has gathered after careful Inquiry. This Is $55.92 per year. The association has undertaken to show that public school teachers are not paid salaries large enough to enable them to live in a manner fitting to their profes sion and at the same time save money to support them in their old age. The facts have been gathered and placed be fore the people and school officers of Oregon with the hope that the figures will lead to an Increase In salaries. Tho Principals' Association has had the subject of salaries under consideration for some time, and it was agreed that the compensation of teachers is too low. After a discussion of ways and means It was decided that the best way to reach the directors Is through an argument backed up by figures showing, incomes and expenses. "We submit," say the educational work ers, "that in return for good service the school districts should pay fair wages. School teachers should not be expected to work for a mere living from year to year, with no opportunity to save some thing for the time when they will be too old to work. If, therefore, we are able to show that with present salaries and the present cost of living the averj age teacher cannot save a reasonable sum. out of his salary, vo can then justly claim that the compensaUon of teachers should be increased." Data From Fifteen Counties. With this end In view a committee was appointed, composed of Charles H. Jones, editor of the Oregon Teachers' Monthly; E. T. Moores, School Superintendent of Marlon County, and L. R. Traver, Su perintendent of the Salem schools, for the purpose of gathering statistics. This committee secured information in detail from 23 teachers scattered through 15 dif ferent counties of the state. The teachers requested to give information were of various grades and from schools of dif ferent sizes and length of term. Tho highest salary paid to a teacher reporting was 5105 50 per month for nine months. The lowest was 530 per month for six months. The teacher showing the greatest saving had 523.75 per calendar month to his credit on a salary of 5100 per monthcfor nine months, while the teacher with the lowest saving came out 512 in debt at the end of the year on a salary of 540 a month for nine months. The statements received from the teach era are supposed to contain the ordinary 1I ing expenses, but the teacher who came out a dollar a month behind charged up 56 per month for health and medicine, which is apparently an unusually heavy expense on that item. Income and Outgo. The averages computed from the re ports of the 23 teachers will show ap proximately the Income and the expenses of the teachers of the 3tate. The aver ages are as follows: Income Salary per month 5 51.15 Months employed 8.3 Salary for the calendar year 429 35 Salary per calendar month 35.78 Expenditures per calendar month Board and lodging 14 4R Laundry 1.55 Clothing 5.40 Newspapers and books i.is Churches and .charity 1.22 Amusements, entertainment and In stitutes 1.18 Car fare and trael 1.35 Recreation and Summer outing si Health and medicine 1.34 Incidentals 2.S9 Total expense per calendar month.. 31.00 Net gain per month 4.65 Net gain per year 65 92 Computation for Twelve Months. As will be observed, the salary for the school year has been distributed over the entire 12 months, and no account is taken of anything the teacher may earn during the vacation period. The view the teach ers take Is that the salaries they earn in six months or nine months must keep them for 12 months, and in computing their income per month they divide their income for the year by 12. From this monthly Income they deduct their ex penses for a month. How this manner of computing affects the amount of the monthly salary will be readily apparent. For example, a teacher drawing 430 per school month for six months has a total Income of 5180, or 515 per month for the calendar year. The teacher reporting this salary, the lowest mentioned, pays 510 for board, 53 50 for clothing amd 51.20 for all other ex penses, making a Jotal of 514.70 per cal endar month, leaving a saving of 53.60 for the year out of six months salary. This teacher was a lady and charged up nothing for laundry, and only a few cents each for the other Items on the list other than those of board and cloth ing. The highest expense account reported by any teacher was 565 per month, by a J man -n ho is a principal in a Southern Ore gon town on a salary of 5105.50 per month. He receives 5950 per year for nine months work, or 579.15 per calendar month. Tho Items of his expense are: Board 5 27.00 Laundry - 1.00 Clothing , U.00 Reading matter , 3.00 Churches and charity 3.00 Amusements and institutes 1.00 Car fare and travel 2.00 Recreation and Summer outing:. 2.00 Incidentals 3.00 Total per calendar month.... .v.. 65.00 Saving per month 14.13 Saving per year 169.SO The lowest expense per calendar month was reported by a woman teacher men tioned above, who ilrew the smallest sal ary and lived on 514.70 per month. The largest net saving reported wa3 by a man who drew a salary of 5100 per month for nine months, giving him an Income of 5900 per year, of 575 per month. The items of hU expenses were as fol-t lows: Board and lodging 5 32.00 Laundry 3.00 Clothing 6.00 Reading- matter 3.00 Churches and charity LOO Amusements and institutes 50 Car iare and travel 3.50 Recreation and Summer outing 00 Health and medicine 25 Incidentals 2.00 Total expense per calendar month.. 51.23 Saving per month 23.73 Saving for the year 2S3.00 Nothing to Show for Year's Work. In addition to these figures gathered from teachers In different sections of tho state, the committee secured reports from. 21 teachers in Marion County, some In city or village .schools, and some In ruraL schools. Out of this number 11 reported that they are unable to save anything; at the end of the calendar year. Tho averages computed from the reports of these 21 teachers are as follows: Income Salary per school month 5 43.27 Months' employed 7.07 Salary for the year $320.47 Salary per calendar month 26.13 Expenses per calendar month Board and lodging $ 11.73 Laundry 1.23 Clothing 7.49 Newspapers, books, etc SS Churches and charity S3 Amusements and concerts 73 Car fare and travel 1.44 Recreation and outing L62 Health and medicine L32 Incidentals LSI Total expenses . 27.03 "Saving per calendar month 2.28 Saving per year 27.3S Clothing and Board. In both the statistics from all over tha state and from over Marlon County the expenses for clothing vary widely. Tho highest report for clothing is 511 per month, the amount reported by a man In Southern Oregon. "Women teachers preport an expense of from 54 to 56 for clothing, though one "Willamette Valley teacher placed her expenses for clothing aslow as 52 per month. The highest clothing ac count reported by a woman teacher was 510 per month. One man kept his clothing account down to 52.50 per month. Board and lodging runs all the way from 510 to 532 per month. Nothing is said in the reports on the question whether the men have families to support, but It appears that if they do they are charging up only the cost of their own living. Out of the 23 teachers who" reported from, different portions of ttte state, nine were men and 14 women. , In presenting these statistics gathered from the teachers the committee relies principally upon the averages given above as making a fair presentation of the In comes and expenses of the teachers of the public schools. If anyone entertains the opinion that the expenses are too high, the committee asks the question: "Which item of expense would you r& duce or cut out entirely?" If the- expense account Is acknowledged to be reasonable, the committee inquires: "Should public school teachers be asked to work for the wages now paid, in view of the small saving that can be mado upon such an Income?" INDIANS MAY HAVE STOLEN. Bakers Incurred Displeasure of Red men From the North. SEATTLE, "Wash., May 14. (Special.)- A demand was made today that 55000 bo used for the return of Prewett Baker, tho son of R. D. Baker, who disappeared a week ago from, the Baker family's Sum mer home on Bainbrldge Island. A meet ing at Ballard to arrange details was in- slsted upon. The theory that Indians may have been responsible for the disappearance of tho boy -was strengthened today by the dis covery of the fact that a large number of British Columbia Indians fishing in Port Orchard on the east of tho Island have gone. A year ago a party of British Columbia Indians demanded food from the Bakers, and when refused one of their party threatened vengeance. The Indians returned this year, a part of them going to Eagle Harbor while others fished in Dog Fish Bay and Browne's Bay, inlets from Port Orchard. These Indians were about tho Island at the time the child disappeared, but have gone away since and no trace has been found of them. The Indian Agent at Madison reservation has sent out a trust ed emploe to Investigate among the In dians and learn whether the boy wa3 taken away with the red men. Two de tectives today completed a tour of tho mainland near the Island, but could find nothing to substantiate the theory that the boy was held by Indians near Eaglo Harbor. A systematic search of tho beach about Bainbrldge Island will be mado Sunday by a big force of men, divided into parties that will work while the tide is out. Tho waters are to be dragged and It is ex pected the drowning tneory will be thor oughly satisfied by the investigation. IRRIGATION IN UMATILLA. Seattle Capital Heavily Interested in Project.
