TO teachers ond school officers of Jackson county: You have probably read and thought considerable about the pres ent school situation and what seems to be expected of us; and 1 am won dering if "we are united in a realiza tion of what the new demands in edu cation really are. As I look at the situation it seems to me that the pub lic, generally speukinK, cldes not fully appreciate the fact that good teach ing 'is an absolute necessity in. the preservation of the union. We must have a more intense devotion to edu cation. We must have school admin istration of the highest type, hacked by. unalloyed patriotism in teachers and by a willing financial support of those who pay the bills. Do we have all these? is not public sentiment u little ulitocratic rolativo to school finances? Should wo expect the com ing generation to he democratic if it is brought up under such conditions? So many inquiries 'from both teach- ers and board members have been re ceived lately relative to salaries for .'the coining, school year, that I have thought It best to address this circu lar' to' iteachers and school officers both. The situation must be met fair ly and squareiy. It is encouraging to ! note that some board members nud others are making an effort to meet the present needs. The number of teachers attending the normal schools in this country has decreased over 10,000 during the nast t'hroo' years.' The number of graduates .is .also decreasing, altho the number remained nearly constunt during the war,.due partly to the fact that in' many cases the bars to grad- uation"were let down at that time. The reason for the decrease in atten dance at the normals and also in , number of. graduates is obvious ! v Teachers! wages are not attractive. .j',jUrogtta how has a shortage of over jj'rJne. hundred teachers, with about tjfpur times that many who are below i Standard; It nas been premciea mui '.Oregon will have a shortage of about (five hundred teachers this coming jshool year unless something is done lip relieve .the sifuation, , The, pro posed two mill tax upon all ' property !ACtthp stalo.-for, oojiiiupa-whaol pur- -poses. wiirroaier-Muiy uiu unu tmuum .receive. the aotive support of. evory- one..,.

In Jackson county will he without teachers! Wbile.it Is generally admitted that salaries should be at least 'double what they now are, it would seem best that a rather conservative sched ule should be adopted especially foV the minimum wage.- Many districts are able to pay far more than this schedule of minimum salaries indi cates. and should do so. The minimum wages recommended 1 11 j'Fdr elementary teachers, Inex perienced, with only a high scnooi training class education, $1100.00.
