PAGE TWO MEDFORD jV VTL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, OREGON, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 9, 1933. TEACHERS SALARY .County Superintendent Bow . man Points Out Inequali ties Faithful Service Is Outstanding Feature In Jackson county thera are Ap proximately 300 teachers and acboot administrators working with approx imately 8.000 school children. These men and women will work for a term of months which will average less this nine during the present school year. There are 73 school districts tn Jackson county, 83 of which oper ata their own schools. The other 10 do not operate -a school in the dis trict, but transport their pupils to ether districts. In the 83 districts that operate there are 70 buildings, tnesnlng that tnere sre approximately 76 Janitors employed In the county, who together with some 35 bus dm. wrs, make up the salaried personnel SAiat It takes to operate our schools. Where Tax Goes. Out of every dollar paid by the tax payer of Jackson county, spproxl mately 60 cents is used for the main- tenance of public education, which la not at all a new condition. The pro portionate amount of the tax dollar whloh goes to education has not made any alarming Increases in recent years In proportion to the burdens that have been carried by the public school system. 6alarles of teachers constitute major portion of the money apent for education. At this particular time alary adjustments have been so er ratic; and teachers' contracts havo fceen supplemented with so many promises that it Is Impossible to get sin accurate picture of Just what aal ary averages will be for the present school year. It Is safe to say, how- rer, that they will be the lowest paid In Jackson county for a number of years. Mnst Eat In Vacations. It Is well to remember that no way lias yet been discovered by which teacher can eliminate the expense of living for from two to four months each yesr, which makes it aseoiutciy necessary to look st teachers' sslarles with the right sttttude. A teacher drawing tloo per month for nine months earns $75 per month for 13 months, and a teacher drawing 575 per month for nine months earns a little less than 13 per week for 53 weeks. During the time that teach ers are supposed to be on vacation they are expected to attend summer school or to do some line of pro fessional reading In order to be legal ly qualified to teach the suoceedlng ear. They sre open for only short jobs of employment which, ss a rule, pay the lowest wages. , For this salary the law says ttisV hey shall have met before being li censed to teach, nertaln scholsstlo re quirements. They shall be able to present to their school board a cer tlflcste showing tnat they are In good tiealth. The law further states thtt they may not only be removed for Incompetency or Immorellty, but may kave their license to teach revoked, teachers must meet these require ments, yet this year one out of every four, according to department of In terior statistics, will be teaching Is the United States for less salary than the blanket code minimum for un skilled labor yields on an annual basis. The equipment of Die modern teacher Includes a knowledge of meth ods and techniques unknown a few years ago. Such tools as a msntsl test, the achievement test, the aptl tuds test, the pre -school test are among the powerful modern weapons the teaoher of today must use in pombattlng Ignorance.

The NRA to date haa left the Amer ican teacher In the position of the Forgotten Man. No coae governs his salary. He meets the qualifications set by law for hla profession. He takes the salary offered by the school board under whom he works. He takes the warrant offered by the clerk of the school board for hla salary, He takes the discount offered by the scalper for his warrant. He pays bis bills, and to date we have not heard of any teacher strikes outside of trie city of Chicago, where teachers asked only for the wage, they had already earned. In spite of this, we believe there la no other class of people who serve more faithfully and who can more truthfully say "We Do Oust Part." O. R. BOWMAN.
