Local teacher pay
' ''Bend Teachers Given Increase In Annual Pay," read a
headline in Tuesday's Bulletin. Had a typographer inadvert
ently allowed a word transposition to go through, so that the
' headline would have read, "Bend Teacnersf Given Annual In
crease in Pay," it would still have conformed to fact. Four
raises have been approved in as many years, with the result
that the pay schedule in the coming school year will ruft
; 48.2 to M.lc higher than it was in 1940. Had the $300
' raise recommended by the superintendent of Schools' beeh
; voted it would have meant a schedule running 6O.870 to' 81.6$
' higher thari in 1940. . '
Much Of this salary raising has gone on in years wnen most
wages were frozen" under lederal regulation, witn increases
possible only if permission could be had IrOhi the war labor
board, aucn permission nas been extremely uuncuii, tu w
tain.- Pay of public school personnel, however did not and
does not cOme under the "freeze."
It should be noted that, at the time of the series of increases
which we are discussing was started, there was excellent
justification for an upward adjustment of salaries. At that
time the minimum local pay for a grade teacher with no de
gree was ?1080; for a teacher with , a master of arts degree
$1260. The maximum lor a nign scnooi leacner wun no de
gree was $ 13UU, lor one witn a master oi arts degree ioov.
Whatever could be made in the summer months was, of course',
in addition to these amounts, but the schedule was, neverthe-
. less, too low.
in the prese'nt year, however, the $1080 has1 become
$1662, the $1260 has become $1876, the $1380 has1 become
$2022 and the $1680 has become $ 2BB2. in tne coming year,
each of these amounts will be increased by ?9(J.
We doubt that this latest increase was advisable'.' This,
also, was the opinion of the advisory budget board, rill five
of whom voted to hold to the present schedule and four of
whom voted later against the specified increase. Their basic
argument, with which . we agree, was that the average tax
payer, who must pay the bill, is getting no advance.
It is proper to observe here, we believe, that the chief ar
gument fOr the Mae, as it has been the chief argument i(i
other years, was that Bend is in a competitive relation with
other schools of the state and that, unless Bend's schedule is
maintained for advantageous bidding, Bend may not expect to
, obtain the better teachers. Some other districts might raise1,
so Bend should raise. And Bend would raise. Unfortunately,
in other districts the same argument was being advanced and
budget committees were also joining in the attempt to mairi
tain their districts at advantageous bidding levels. As a
general proposition the districts have been getting nowhere
by all this activity, but they have been spending a lot rriore
money.
But to get.back to the matter of the increase voted for the
school year of 194B-1946. We have mentioned our doubt thait
it was advisable. We would like, also, to express our doubt that
it was necessary; even from the standpoint of the districts'
bidding strength. (To try to anticipate what others may do in
this regard is rather futile). Bend's schedule was already a
detldedly favOrable one. Out of 41 first-class districts in Ore
gem, tabulated by the city superintendent, only eight have a
higher minimum, only four have a higher average and only
four have a higher maximum for the elementary gradoti.
Of 24 junior high schools, Bend has the highest maximum' pay
and is topped by Only four schools for average pay and again
by only four for maximum pay. Of 40 senior high school,
Bend's minimum pay is exceeded by only three schools, its
average pay by the same number and its maximum pay by 16.
Only three of these 16 schools has a higher average than is
paid high school teachers here.
As a matter of competition these figures should have been
sufficient warrant for leaving tho salary schedule unchanged.
Now that it has been changed, it should certainly be adequate
not only for the year for which it has been approved but for
the following year as well.

Frederic tried to think' ot I'id

they had arrived in Paris. And
