SALEM, Or., May 14. (Special.) 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

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

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

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

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.
