so, unless living salaries that go
with complete living are being paid:
The teacher‘s tenure is sometimes
precarious. Though it is customary
to always annually reappoint satisfac
lory teachers. the principle is never-
theless wrong. The satisfactory and
tried teacher should be secure in her
tenure beyond the possible removal by
n capricious school board—~for we have
such sometimes. “To give teachers
security in than position and frecdolil
to do their work" is as necessary as
salary increase, according to the Al
lantic Monthly editor ducted in it pre-
vious article. r cdom and tenure go
together. The 'h story of a few prl
vately endowed universities of the
country has showll us this truth.
' Subject of Salaries.
Advanced thought throughout the
country seems to favor the pellsioning
of teachers. The means of accomplish
lug such a system naturally give rise
to varying ideas some being poles
apart. This much can safely be poslu
iated, however. that until there is
some comity between ‘the several Sis
fee or between the several towns of a
given State, the practical working out
of a problem must be held in alloy-
ance.
Something is needed, for, as we have
seen, teachers are not paid enough
to be able to save against old age. All
public servants it does not seem that
they could be charged with being the
recipients of unfair and paternal fav-
or, if they won: to receive ultimate
State aid as the reward of a life
