The High School Teacher.
The salalles paid principals and
teacheis of high‘ schools are of comse
highei than those quot/ed. Since ibcir
living expenses need not. necessarily
be higher. we must seek some othei
basis as a justification of increased
salmy of such teachers. That is found
in proper conception of the. social and
professional spheie of the teacher-—
the conception of what 1'1 teachtu's
salary stands for. The high school
teacher’s ‘sala‘ry stands ‘t'or something
higher. professionally speaking. than
While the. need of trained teachers is
imperative in all cases. it. is superla-

he must have an intimate and sympa-

adolescent period.
We. quote the following from a re-
port of the lndiaua Council of Educa-
tion to the Teachers‘ Association of
