In asking th staU of Oregon to vote
favorably for tlm twomlll elementary
nch'xil mnaaure. popularly known as
the Children's Klglits the teach
er of the sUte of Oregon are not aux
ins? for an Increase In salary. They
aro merely working for a fair and
equal dtslrlbutlon of taxes for the sup
port of these Laslc schools, that the
entire sUto will be taxed and not only
the organised school districts, a at
present Is the case.
The shortage of of teachers In Ore
grin Is growing so rspldly that th
situation Is if.a.'ming In the extreme.
Ijtst year 100 sthools were closed, and
In these 100 schools, 230 rooms were
" closed and close to 4000 pupils were
unablo to bava th Instruction that
rightly should have ben theirs. What
was th cause?
It was due entirely to a shortage
of leschers. Why? Because the teach
er are being underpaid and are leav
ing the profession for better psld work.
They have to do thl. Some day Ore
gon must com to the rescue of the
tuacher. Now, It la being asked to
save tho child, the voter of tomorrow.
Do w wsnt him educated? Sure.
Only recently In New York did the
question of raising the teachers' sal
aries come up before the legislature
and It was due to a lack of sufficient
Information a to th extent to which
they should be Increased, and the
ability of communlUe to pay Increases
have led the leglalatlv leidcr to de
cide to postpone Una! revision of the
teacher' aalary law until another aes
slon. Th temporary readjustment cf sal
aries will fix th minimum rat for
th rural school teacher at 1 850, while
In the Urger country districts the
lowest paid elementary teaoners will
get $900. The minimum In elementary
schools In thlrdlas cities will be
$1,100 Instead of $820 aa at present,
and that in high schools $1,250 Instead
of $940. 8econd-class cities must raise
their minimum salary of elementary
teacher from $800 to $1,200, and that
of high school teachers from $1,000
to $1,400.
In order to prevent New York City
draining the adjoining cities of teach
ers. Yonkers, Mount Vernon, White
Plains, and New Rochelle ar to be
required to pay within $550 of the
rates In effect In New York City. Flat
lucre it t o iul0 01 U ta atarca i
rates ar mandated upon gyraeue and
nf linn nn nuffala and Rochester.
The higher salarle will do much to
msk th teaching ervlc nor at
tractive. Th New York City rate ar to b
fixed by a commute sow at work
upon th problem of determining bow
the city's quota of tk direct state tag
of IV, mills $12.000.000 hall b dis
tributed among mor than 14,000 mem
bers of th supervising staff. Th
average Increase of $600 would seem
smalt In comparison with th other la
cresses were it riot for th fact that
th governor last month signed bill
giving th New York City teacher an
Increase on June . Six thousand ls
hundred and thre teacher will r
cetv from $0 to 40 per cent mor pay
than they received on Dec. SI. 191S.
whll 1.050 others of tout of 24.123
will nav their salarle Increased from
SO to (0 per cent. But th mlrilmnn
salary cn June 1 will b only $1,005.
In redrafting the provlalons of th
etato-wiila aalary bill affecting New
York City the Joint legislative commit
tee to which the task was assigned hss
raised this minimum to $1,500 and baa
so revised other aalarlea that tho
gradea of tbe service where the chief
shortage of teacher exists shall offer
salaries that will attract and hold th
best teachers. In no other way can
the standards of teaching be maintain
ed, not to say Improved.
When the legislative committee re
port next year whatever other grade
of the service have not received do
and proper consideration can ba pro
vided for in the general aalary increase
measur.
Men teacher ar-; disappearing irom
the schools of Oregon.
Thirty years ago tber were a many
men as women in elementary chooi.'
Now the ration la four men to ais
women.
Cleveland. Ohio, flnda It Impossible
to secure men teacher of manual or
physical training for elementary
schools because of low salarle.
These facts ar presented to Cleve
land teachera by Supt Frank E.
Spaulding la an article being dlatribnt
ed to them for information In connec
tion with their study of the salary
questionnaire recently sent out
Tho remedy In Oregon 1 th two

Significance la lent to the situation
by a recent resolution of the School
maatera' Club of Cincinnati deplcrtg
Uie condition nationally and tating
"th Influence of men I considered
necessary for th proper education o
American youth."
The resolution aake the National
Educational Association to bring be
fore the public aud ita school offi
cials the seriousness of the situation.
STEADY, AMERICA!
Let Us Work Tais Out Together
Republicans, It Is Up to Us to Elect a Real
President Tkis Fall
He Must Be the Biggest and the Soundest and
the Most Effective American We Can Find.
Before Committing Yourself
Consider These Facts:
Out of thirteen states, where the contest was
between Wood and Johnson for the instruc
tion of delegates to the Republican National
Convention, the elections have been decided
for Wood in nine.
Total Number of Delegates Pledged to Vote for
Wood at Republican National Convention, 321
Since the narrowing down of the field, the situa
tion is generally diagnosed as follows:
A vote'for Hoover, for Lowden, or for.
Poindexter is a vote for Johnson.
