; MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD. OnEGON THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 14, 19fi3 g J ree Current Problems Boost Private School Teachers Pay Bv LKRnv urine- this year, in the boarding schools. Five years ago, a young college graduate was lucky to get a starting salary of $1,800 to $2,000 plus room and board in a good private school. Today he can get $3,000. And a teacher with 10 or 15 years service in a good board ing school now can get $6,500 to $6,800 plus a living for his whole family and free tuition for his children. That's equal to a raise of around $1,500 over five years ago. Day school pay hasn't gone up so fast. But even in New York City, bulge now is in the junior high schools" in the hearts of the big cities for private schools or pub I'nitiil Press International NEW YORK (UPI) - Civil lights, juvenile delinquency and a big birth rate are making the private school in this country an excellent business (or teach ers. The Federal Welfare Depart ment says the number of pri vate schools, including paro chial schools, has jumped from 14,000 to 17,000 in the past de cade. About 6.9 million children or 14.3 per cent of the total grade school and high school population are in these schools The private school boom ap pears to be based largely on the desire of parents to escape juvenile delinquency and the conflicts attendant on racial in tegration but not entirely so. The Catholic church is expand ing its parochial school building rapidly, particularly in new sub urban areas. A large part of all private schools are under reli gious auspices and the Catholic church operates the lion's share of these. The new private non-denominational day schools being cre delinquency and racial conflict usually are called "parents' schools." Mainly In South The greatest number of these "parents schools" is in the South but they are being creat ed on the fringes of northern industrial cities too. Many of the new private schools are not oriented merely at dodging juvenile delinquency and racial conflict. Some are guided by a desire for sharp curriculum reform; they start teaching languages in the pri mary grades, for example. Some were founded and are The demand for teachers has been homing for years, accord ing to the National Association of Teaching 'Agencies. The Dorothy Marder agency in New York, which supplies teachers over a wide area of the East and mid-West for both pri vate and public schools, said the demand for grade school teachers slacked off a little this fall after going up explo sively for six or seven years. The boom In teacher demand has pushed salaries up sharply. The biggest raises have been where there is a big surplus of married qualified women teachers willing to work part time or not terribly interested in high pay, the average salary of a good junior high teacher has gone up from $4,800 to around $5,800, Miss Marder said. Remember, all the teaching salaries are for a school year of eight and a half to ten months. Teachers either can go to school, vacation or take jobs in the summer. Miss Marder said the pupil scnoois aue to tne big birthrate of a dozen years ago. So, de mand for junior high teachers suddenly has jumped 70 to 80 per cent in most parts of the country. Two years from now, Miss Marder said, the senior high schools will be hit by a similar pupil bulge and crying need for teachers. "The colleges will be in real faculty trouble six or eight years from now," she added. Juvenile delinquency is caus ing many teachers to change jobs leaving the "problem run by parents' committees and lic schools in the better sub urbs. teachers who are frankly Hos tile to"progressive education;" tor example, tney return to tne alphabetic method of teaching reading in vogue sixty years ago. LINE OF DUTY PLAINVILLE, Conn. (UPI) -A policeman who was called to a private residence to dispose of a skunk left the following message on the police blotter: "This animal was black in color with a white stripe. Known as a polecat (skunk). Has been disposed of (phew). All clear." The parents schools succeed in luring teachers away from public schools without offering higher wages; in the private schools, as a rule, teachers needn't fear hulking lads with switchblade knives. Also, class es are smaller, 10 to 13 pupils against 20 to 40 in public schools. ated frankly to escape juvenile ORE .

It cleared Soviet checkpoints with out trouble. The convoy of 13 trucks and 26 men rolled through Commu nist East Germany in another show of Western determination to maintain access rights to Berlin, 110 miles behind the Iron Curtain. Communist East Germany charged the West with "provo cations on the access routes" and renewed its claim that it has the right to control the Al lied convoys. But it said the Russians would continue to ex ercise control "for the time being." Today's convoy carried onlv drivers and co-drivers and thus did not run into conflict over Soviet demands that troops rid ing in convoys as passengers dismount to be counted. 09 miiimffiawmiaiamim BUBBLE BATH 'Mr.Bubbie' Bubbles Ms clean ,0 ooniy 39 mm I fF."..,-m una MEN'S 1ST QUALITY CREW SOCKS Sizes 10-13 Reg. 49c pair GENERAL ELECTRIC STEAM and DRY IRON F-60 Model Reg. $14.95 $Q)97 l FOSTORIA Grill-Waffle Baker Reg. $19.95 $4 J77 E223I1 MEN'S 4 BUCKLE Rubber Overshoes 8-12 Fully Linod Heavy Duty S88 Reg. $5.95 Pr.
