In Spite of Increased Salaries Peda
gogues Are Going Into
Other Work.
The schools in Umatilla ooanty are
faoiug a famine in competent teachers
for the next sobool year. -Each dis
trict hag been forced to raise its teach
ers' salaries, without exception, ftom
Dve to ten dollars per month. Yester
day a contract was signed and regis
tered, providing for tbe set vices of P.
M. Nash iu tbe Pilot Bock schools xor
tbe ensuing year. Tbe new contract
calls for 85 per month.
"Tbe'membera of tbe school board
are making tbe inorease in tbe salaries
of tbe teachers simply because tbey
are forced to do so to keep the teach
ers." said Supt. Frank Welles iu oom
mnntinG' on tbe increases tbat are
constantlv being registered in the sal
aries of tbe pedagogues. "The sobools
of Umatilla county are going to lose
many good teachers this year in spite
of tbe advauces. Tbe assistant prin
cipal at Athena, and the ptinoipal at
Weston both sever their couneotions
with schools this year. Both men
have better offers in other flelds of
activity.
"But tbe resignations are by no
nieaus limited to the male teachers.
We are losiug some of the most able
teaobers tbis year who are to become
wives. That is the greatest problem,
matrimony. -Young women will mar
ry in spite of the salary temptations;
men will generally stay another year
at least.
"Tbe difficult part of tbo situation,
however, is not so muoh that we ore
losiug many of tbe teachers as tbat
we have no way of filling the depleted
ranks with qualified instructors. Good
sohool teaobers are at a premium.
Huudteds of sohool teachers could be
used to advantage in tbe schools of
oastorn Oregon next year without the
slightest plethora in toe staffs. For
merly there have been many teachers
from tho east who came west to seoure
tbo better salaries tbat we offered, but
tbe eastern states have been forced to
meet our offers, and the supply is out
off. The danghtors of tbe western
peoplo seem to hesitate to enter school
work. For one thing, so many of
them have fathers tbat are independ
ent tbat tbey feel tbat there is little
necessity for them to toil to make a
living. However, many of our very
best toaobers are western bred and ed
ucated girls.
"Unless some unforeseen relief comes
I fear that many sohools in the rural
districts will be forced to close their
doors owing to our inability to got
competent teaobers. Of course, there
will be no difficulty during the re
mainder of the present sohool year
although soveral have resigued to take
effect at once. But the future looks
oloudy for tbe small country schools,
where tbe districts are unable to pay
the salaiies tbat teachers now de
maud."
