Pay for Teachers
Are teachers still underpaid?
This is an "iffy" question, and the answer
depends on a lot of things, including one's view
point of the importance of education, the impor
tance of good teachers, and the desirability of
attracting good, competent, well-trained people
to the profession. .
One criterion by which to judge teachers' sal
aries is to compare them to pay rates in similar
occupations. Another is to compare them to pay
rates for teachers elsewhere.
,'
A RECENT study by the Oregon Education As
sociation, the "schoolteachers organization"
in the state, makes the latter kind of comparison
possible.
It shows that the rates of pay possible for
teachers in the Medford school district, for ex
ample, stand up well in comparison to those in
other first class districts in the state.
For high school teachers here the maximum
pay possible is $8,500 per year, a total which is
exceeded in only three other school districts in the
state Coos Bay ($9,300), Eugene ($8,900), and
Beaverton ($8,800).
THE AVERAGE pay for high school teachers
in the Medford system is $6,244. This is ex
ceeded slightly in only five other districts in the
state Lake Oswego ($6,286), Coos Bay ($6,
366), North Bend ($6,526), Cottage Grove ($6,
327), and Beaverton ($6,255). The state average
is $5,626. '
Junior high school teachers in Medford fare
well, also, on a comparative basis in the state.
Their maximum is . $7,800, which is exceeded in
only one district in the state, Eugene, where the
maximum is $8,200.
The average pay of a junior high school
teacher in Medford is $5,562, wThich is exceeded
in only six school districts, and in none of them
by much. State average is $5,320.
Elementary school teachers (grades 1 through
6) fare a little less well in Medford, comparative
ly. The maximum salary here is $5,390, which
is equalled or exceeded in 22 districts. State av
erage for elementary teachers is $5,207.
CINCE, however, there are more than 100 first
class and county unit districts in the state,
and second and third class districts were not in
cluded in this comparison, it appears that Med
ford school teachers, as a group, are relatively
well-off.
This "relatively," of course, refers to other
school teachers in comparable districts. Whether
they are wrell-off "relative" to other economic
and professional groups is something else again,
and something which
Durelv local level.
The nation-wide "average" income for a fam
ily last year, for instance, was just over $5,000.
And we have an ineradicable feeling that the
people to whom we entrust our children for their
education, and for much of their vital, early
training for life, should somehow be in an income
bracket above the national "average."
It follows that they
people, too. E.A.
And Other Factors
Further aspects of "competition" or com
parability with respect to teachers' salaries can
be noted. One is the fact that, in addition to com
parisons within the state, out-of-state salaries
also must be taken into consideration.
In attracting teachers to an Oregon commun
ity, for instance, it is necessary also to note the
fact that in California, teachers generally receive
more money than in Oregon.
The same is true, though to a somewhat less
er extent, in Washington.
IN ALBANY, where the comparisons of teach-
ers' pay are not as favorable as in the Medford
district, the Democrat-Herald takes note of the
fact that, in general, the lot of teachers in Oregon
apparently is getting better, probably because
of a growing public appreciation of their services
and of competition between communities. ...
It also. adds: . . . .
". . . It will be necessary for us to consider need
for keeping the spread between our pay levels and
those of our neighbors from getting too great, for
teachers cannot be entirely aesthetic in deciding
where they want to teach."
THIS IS TRUE, to an extent.
A But is should be added that other factors,
beside pay scales, do make a considerable dif
ference in a teacher's willingness to accept a po
sition in one town as opposed to another.
Also a factor is the attitude of a community
toward the teaching profession, and toward the
schools generally, aften as expressed through
its support of schools and their activities.
And in addition, teachers, in common with
everyone else, are affected by working condi
tions, by the attitudes and abilities of their super
iors, and by the attractiveness generally of a com
munity. '
In virtually all of these categories, we would
score Medford high. E.A.

Fog and Travel
To the Editor: It wasn't Kil-
roy on his way to the moon,
but I think I saw his chariot
last Sunday.
Its front looked remarkably
like a rototiller frame. Its ca
boose was two strong wheels
topped by a good sized square
box, but what sort of reach
connected these contraptions
I cannot guess, but three nice
young men and a hound dog
made up the crew and they
rolled right up the hill like
nobody's business.
I didn't notice a state li
cense, but Frank Carter, our
Jacksonville policeman, has
more eyes than a potato. I
hope he was enjoying a Sun
day nap.
That "wagging" (the dog
was) was a beaut! No waste
material in swept wings or
fancy do-dads, and if there'd
been room and I weren't a
big fat slob, I would have
thumbed a ride.
Not too far behind them
rode two pretty girls on well
fed horses, and going at about
the same speed as the "auto-
mopushie."
I shouldn't have called it
that, but it did remind me of
my oldest son, who in 1920 cut
four wheels from the end of
an old log and made a buggy
to ride down hill on. When
he got so riled up about my
calling it an "auto-mo-pushie"
I never did use that word
again-'til now.
I'm all for those youngsters,
and there wasn't any traffic
to bother them, that day.
Maybe one of them will
own a much needed bus be
tween J'ville and Medford
some day, and we can go
over to Medford's Fifty Plus
Club Fridays at 12:30 and to
orchestra practice, too, with
out trying to drive through

The steel strike has been
settled and the mills will con
tinue to run.
That lends substance to the
hope that 1960 will be a
GOOD year.
DETAILS of the settlement
are lacking as this is writ
ten. About all we know is
that the strike will not be re
sumed when the processes of
the Taft-Hartley injunction
that sent the workers back
to their jobs for an 80-day
cooling off period have been
completed.
But it is clear that the set
tlement was reached by
AGREEMENT. That is all to
the good. A forcible settle
in en t BY GOVERNMENT
would have involved the en
trance into our economy of a
principle that I don't think
we'd like.
It would have been another
step, and a rather long one,
in the direction of govern-
ment-run-everything.
WHAT REMAINS to be seen
' is whether the result of
the settlement will be another
upward swoosh in the wage
price spiral.
Mr. Cooper, who has been
the chief negotiator for the
steel companies, would not
say Monday whether or not
they will raise prices as a
result of the agreement.
Asked flatly what the pros
pects are for a price boost, he
replied tersely: "I do not care
to discuss that subject."
What we'll all hope is that
it WON'T. If it does, nobody
will have been helped very
greatly. The workers will
have got a hike in their
wages, but the wage increase
will soon be eaten up by ris
ing costs of living. The rise
in prices will put the Amer
ican steel industry in a
WORSE position with its
foreign competitors.
In the long run, that would
mean EXPORTING OF JOBS
to foreign countries - which
we can't afford.
AT THE moment this is
written, more attention is
being paid in the news to the
POLITICAL CONSEQUEN
CES of the settlement than to
the settlement itself. The dis
patches tell us that Vice
President Nixon and Secre
tary of Labor Mitchell played
an ACTIVE role in the set
tlement. They made specific dollars

ac in that-
Politics is politics." There
will be plenty of contention
on the other side that it isn't
so. But at least a settlement
was reached. If Mr. Nixon
was influential in bringing it
about, I think the general
consensus will be that he was

Flag, Rides in New
Senate Subway Cars
By DICK WEST
Washington - (LTD - It is not
every day that a fellow gets
to see the first flag raised at
the new Senate office build
ing. If he also gets to ride the
new Senate subway on its
maiden voyage, his cup run
neth over ... or at least
spilleth a few drops.
I participated in such an
eventful double-header Tues
day and my cup, a paper
carton I brought along from
the Senate restaurant, sloshed
all over my note paper. For
tunately, I had one of those
new pens that write under
coffee.
Reading between the dark
brown stains, I can make out
from my notes that two U. S.
senators braved a frosty wind
to take part in the flag-raising
ceremony.
This honor fell to Sens
Dennis Chavez (D-N.M.) and
Styles Bridges (R-N.H.) be

spectively of the commission
which supervised the erection
of the building.
Red Noses From Cold
In view of all the criticism
the commission has absorbed
because of the expense and
inconvenience of the building,
the privilege of hoisting the
first flag was small enough
compension for their service.
The senators were getting
red-nosed from the cold be
fore a phalanx of photograph
ers, who seemed to be in
charge of the ceremony, final
ly permitted Chavez to run
up the flag. Despite a strong
breeze, the banner, once aloft,
refused to wave. It barely
flapped.
Then the ' Rev. Frederick
Brown Harris, Senate chap
lain, led us in reciting the
Pledge of Allegiance and we
all went inside for the main
event the formal opening
of the 1,200-foot subway tun
nel which links the new office
building to the capitol.
The subway project, which
cost more than six million
dollars, or roughly $6,000 a
foot, also has caused some
eyebrow-raising among the
economy-minded, such as tax
payers. But Chavez and

remarks, assured us it was
worth it. .' '

Hard Core Remains
Anti-semitism is a subject
from which most Germans re
coil, for of all the excesses of
Hitlerism, that left perhaps
the greatest stain.
But there has remained a
hard core of anti-semitism.
German officials insist it does
not represent by any means
the majority feelings of West
Germans, and is, in fact,
probably no worse than in
other nations which do not
have a history of Nazism.
On a visit to West Ger
many last spring, this cor
respondent was told of anti
semitic incidents, and of the
severity with which German
Courts deal with such.
But, perhaps because of its
recent history, there is a dif
ference of opinion in German
officialdom and among Jews
themselves as to how these in
cidents should be treatted.

became known and then a
boycott finally bankrupted
him;
The case was not one that
could be taken to the courts,

that it could not be.

dom of speech, it is accused
of being anti-democratic.
