Teachers Wngcs. ,
They are too low. Nebraska
people arc paying more attention
to their cattle and hogs than , they
bestow upon their school teach-
ers. This is a mistake. Nebraska -
ka l stands at the head of an thc
states in an educational way.
This fact is not due to good treat-
ment of school teachers , but
rather to the fact that this state
has been settled by the cream of
intelligence from other states.
The telegram bclievL's the wages
of school teachers in this state
are too low by half. It is not far
short of criminal for a school
board to ask a man to spend years
in preparing himself to teach
school , and ask him to do the
work at a salary no better than
the salary of a clerk in a grocery
store. Under the present circum-
stances 850 per month should be
the lowest wages paid to any
teacher of a public ' school in Ne-
braska. Here in Columbus the
board of education should be
ashamed to ask a teacher to work
for less than $75 per month.
That means a net salary of less
than $700 a year , which is not
more than enough to enable a
teacher to pay board , attend
summer institutes and wear de-
cent clothes. If the school rev-
enue shall not be sufficient to pay
decent wages to all the teachers.
then reduce the number of teach-
ers. A teacher who stands all
the time face to face with poverty -
ty certainly cannot do as good
work as he or she might do if
paid wages which would carry
the teacher away from the verge
of want. Nebraska needs a crusade -
sade in favor of decent wages for
school teachers and the Telegram
is ready to enlist as a private in
the ranks if some school official
t will take the leadership in such a
worthy cause.-Columbus Tele-

ucational feature it
will offer un-
parelled opportunity to teachers
and pupil.
The Government Board is pre-
paring a oeutifl111y illustrated
booklet descriptive of the Philip-
pines , and I believe that then
these will be nowhere more aJ-
predated and useful than in the
hands of the children of your
schools. This plan of our government -
ernment to educate the public

sessions can best be , accomplished
through the teachers and pupils
of the public schools. If you can
furnish me , with a list of your
teachers , I will be glad to have
copies of this publication mailed
to each. " .
The names and addresses of'
the teachers of Richardson coun-
ty have been sent as requested. - - \ . .
It should be borne in mind that
these books are not intended as .
gifts for the teachers. They are ; 3
for the scho01s-the school chil-
dren of Richardson county. It is
hoped the teachers will give the t
children an opportunity to read '
these books.
