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,

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.

American Convoy
Clears Checkpoints
BERLIN (UPI) - The U.S.
Army today sent its third troop
convoy in three days over the
highway between West Ger
many and West Berlin. 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.
