TEACHERS INSIST ON
20 PER CENT INCREASE
Th recommendation of th board of
-duration to - the taxpayers that the
,'nalarlca ox pa bile school teachers b
! ncrJMl meets with the enthuilaatlc
"approval of sit the. teachers, naturally.
;)ut there Is much dissatisfaction
' among noet of them as to the manner
.ind details Of the raise.-..
$ Aerordinir to ths plan outlined by the
?mliool board, salaries UI b advanced
ifrom I to IS per cent BuVlt Is th
Mlthest paid teachers who will receive
The bla- rercenta?e, while thoae who are
tiow itfttlnir the bottom prto will have
'their pay Increased only slightly. ,
i The grade fear-hers, especially, feel
f I (hi. nliruiM 1 1 i tt.l la lUlt nH).t
lr tn theru, snd they have taken te
non with a view to arttlns; the tax
jyTyat the comfns" annual meeting-,,
fxtJM2ndy enlngr. to glvs them. In
stead of the graded Increase; a flat ln:
crease of 20 per ent, as orlginaUy pro
posed. .
The teachers argue that "one of ths
principal objects of ths school board in
proposing the increase in salaries is to
obtain a better class of teachers, on
the ground that In school work as in
other .lines first class workmen, cannot
be obtained for second class wages..
' Orads Wages To 2Low.
But tW teachers say;- the greatest
need f better material is not among
high school teachers snd principals, but
In tr.O grades, where salaries are small
o9 a month and upward. They hold
that the salaries of the higher paid In
structor, although, less than they ought
to be, are already high enough to In
sure the school board getting capable
men' and women, while not much can be
expected for a wage that is barely
enough to sustain life. Therefore, they
think that if the higher paid teachers
are to get a material Increase In their
salaries, the lowest paid should be
equally considered.
One reason for the proposal of the
school board to raise salaries is that
the cost of living has materially ad
vanced. But the teachers say that this
is true as regards the grade teachers
as- much as regards the high school
teachers and principals, and therefore
there is no reason to discriminate be
tween them. If one class Is to be given
a decidedly higher wage because liv
ing Is higher, the other class should
al8r rrofit by the board's consideration
of this fact ,-
There appears to be no concerted ac
tion on the part- of the teachers as the
result of ny meeting, for none has
been held, so far as known, but a large
number of them are asking . taxpayers
to be present-at the annual meeting to
vote for a flat rate pf increase In, sal
aries of 29 per cent - ,w -
Thhs move will be bhterly opposed, by
some members of- the school board, es
pecially . Chairman Wittenberg. . - lrfr.
Wittenberg admits the teachers' conten
tion that the raise should be on a flat
scale, but he Is not In favor 'of giving
them 20 per cent more than they now
receive. He claims that an Increase of
10 per cent is enough and will hold out
for that. For this reason he opposed
the action ot the board In recommend
ing the graduated Increase of from 8 to
25 per cent
Malaxkex Denies It
It was rumored that Attorney Dan
Malarkey had been asked to be present
at the school meeting and present the
teachers' side of the matter. Mr. Ma
larkey, hqwever, denies that he has been
asked to do this.
HI certainly should not be present at
the meeting as an attorney In any case,"
he said' this morning. "But If I were
going to be tn town. I should be glad
to be there as a taxpayer and argue in
favor -of a -flat Increase of 20 per cent
for the teachers. I think they deserve
It for there Is no doubt but thst school
teachers, are -the most poorly paid peo
ple trt the world In view of everything,
and I think they are entitled to all the
Increase we can afford to pay them.
- Tnfortunately. I do not expect to tie
'in the-city Monday night, so I shsll be
Unable to be present at the meeting." .
An additional argument advanced by
the school teachers. Is that the flat
raise of, : A per cent asked for would iftt
amount In the aggregate to much more
than will the graduated raise of eight
to 25 per cent The only material dif
ference it would make would be to
equalize the extra amount expended and
divide It among the teachers In propor
tion to the salaries they now receive.
