MAKERS Of SCOTT'S EMUL&ION
A WORD FOR THE TEACHERS.
M
OST truths are 1 lit t
Aniericii. deiiends niinii
But liccausi' there is nothing;
pcoi le tucket its import imee.
In the last analvsis America will rise or hill, as its edu
cational system succeeds or fails. The success or failure
depends upon the enlightenment, the skill and intelligence
of the teachers.
The entire country is now faced by a shortage in teach
ers. This is not a theory, hut a fact. Another fact is tin;
dolhir is worth only about fifty cents. These two facts
taken together, mean that if any community wants good
schools it must pay for litem.
As a mat ter of fact Ihe entire system of teachers pay
lias been upon a wrong basis. I 'ay should be in proportion
tn the value of service rendered. But in spite of the fact
that no service is more important than the service of an
educator, in the past the school teacher litis heen paid no
more than the common day laborer.
The average day's pay of the school teacher in the
cities of Oregon lias been about three dollars per day. The
man who weeds your garden gets more than that. Yon
pay K a day to the man who puts your ear in running
order, lint you pay less than half its much to the person
who puts your child's mind in running order. ( 'horns girls
get &"( a week, the average teacher gets between 120
and skltf.
So the entire system of school finance must he placed
on a new and higher basis, and .Medford, along with every
other progressive community in the country, must adjust
itself to this new condition.
This doesn't mean profiteering, it means simply a fair
wage; it, doesn't mean wasting the tax payer's money, it
means putting a proper portion of the tax payer's money
into the best investment society can make, an investment
paying dividends in more competent, men and women and
maintaining the finer and higher standards ol' American
cit izenship.

(iiif (iiiict (-(Miiitrv village lived the tirinee (if nci-
fidi sliat'ks; and his dreams were all of pillaiie, and
of .skinning easy marks. Oil, his front was fine and
stalely, and he was a frnrgeous sent, and he fouled the
suckers greatly, with his promised ten per eent. Uut
one morning he was missing, with his winning smiles
and glad, and his name's become a hissing in our melan
choly grad. Oh. we do not see him trundle in his costly
auto now; and he took away a bundle that would choke
a miiley cow. There are threats and there' is wailing
from the suckers old and young; talk of lynching and of
jailing from .the come-ons who were stung, (ione the
crook who did the dishing and they know not when:
he went; he is doubtless busy fishing, elsewhere with
his ten per cent. Oh, T am a doubting Thomas, and I
smell the scent of cheese, when the get-rich fakers
promise mor; than safety guarantees. And the wise
nnd cautious banker knows how much is safe and sane,
and that's all for which I 'll hanker while I have a work

it's always there, than to paw the sand and sawdust and
