Mr. White said that within the
past, two days he has: received a let-
ter from a wall-know teachers’
agency asking him to, recommend
young women for the grade positions
as the demand for teachers is ten
times greater than the supply.
Mr, White said thatkjitho Normal.
School does not take our students
who have not had at least a High
School education. The Normal School
course, he continued, requires two
years, and that, after graduation a
young woman during her first year»
or two will only get $10 a week for for-
ty weeks, or $400 a year. Against this
salary, many of the factory oilices pay
$10 a week for 52 weeks, a total of
$620, continued Mr. White.
Of course, a young teacher whose
salary is $600 would sooner get it
by getting 315 a week for 40 weeks
than by working 60 weeks, at $12 a
week, But the grade teacher who gets
$600 is the exception, not the rule. :She
is generally a college graduate with
considerable experience and skill and
who teaches because she likes it
rather than because of the money in
it. .
An investigation made by the
Herald shows that the young women
working in offices as clerks, book-
keepers and stenogrnphcrs get all the
way from $0 a Ileek up to $18 a. week.
