BETTER TEACHERS
School Troubles Can Be Ended by
Paying Larger Salaries.
Albany. Ore. Jan. H I To the VAi
:or.) In a Portland evening (apcr
the editor has fWen a good deal ol
editorial space to wftfaina the product
oi the public school, and undertake
the soultion ot the problem. In every
one ol Ml solutions he is at variance
with the sciences oi psychology and
education. In one editorial he holds
that a junction oi education is "mem
tal discipline." The theory has lon
been reiutcd by psychology. In an
other editorial he says the "tads and
frills" should be eliminated. He evi
dently does not know that every sub
ject ever introduced into the public
-chools except the three "R's" has
been called a "tad" and a "frill" in its
day. In the editorial of Friday, Jan
uary 2, be says: "Suppose the father-,
.ind mothers of the school children of
:his city should proceed thoroughly to
thresh out the issue of a Ihrc versus a
Cczd curriculum." Now what parent
knows anything about the principles
of education or has the time to find
out? He niiht as well ak that the
parents undertake to displace the phy
sicians in diagnosing sickness and pre
scribing the remedy.
1 thoroughly arec with UisB that
the schools are not fitting pupils lor
life, but they are doing all they can
with the means at their disposal. The
solution of the whole problem is ade
quate pay for teachers Every city of
any size has had its school surveyed to
find what was wrong. If these cities
would pay salaries that would attract
capable men and women for life
careers I he schools would not need to
be surveyed. They would be efficient
all the time.
According, to the United States bu
reau of Education $570,000,000 wa
spent on public education in 1915. This
was one-fourth of the amount spent
on alcoholic liquors, less than what
was spent on tobacco, and a little
more than w-as spent on the movies !
The average salary' of all teachers La
$525 per year! It is true lhat the high
cost of living has decreased the value
of a dollar in buying power to COcentv
This leaves the princely sum of $215
per year to induce capable men and
women to stay in the profession to
turn out captains of industry, corpora
tion lawyers and M. D.'s with prac
tices of $100,000 and over per year!
1 varily believe that if teachers donat
ed their services some people would
insist on "better results." When ti c
people want their children fitted for
life as badly as they want booze, to
bacco, movies, automobiles, etc.. they
can expect better results and not be
fore. Another cause of poor results in the
public schools is the Organization of
the public school system. Boards of
Education made up of politically in
clined men dominate tl.e policy of the
-chools. As a rule the Board decapi
tates a superintendent or teacher at
the end of the vear who refuses to be
:t tool in its hands. The judgments of
teachers r.nd superintendents based on
as technical an education a: any other
p-ofession is oitcn set aside by a
Board. In the medical profe.sion
new knowledge and improved methods
can be immediately put in practice
In the schools the stamp of approval
must be put on them by the Board or
the people in the face of ignorance,
prejudice nnd politics. In it any won
der that inpaMe men and women re
fuse to be dr-.wn into the teaching
profession or merely use tt ae a stepping-stone
for something eUf
I have been teaching in p'.iblic
schools for six ye.-.rs. and In all that
time I have not talked to n young
tnan in public sc! ooI vork i hn was
not aiming to ffCl out of tl.is thank
