' the increase for the last few
years and the number of men
teachers has steadly decreased be-
cause of the poor salaries paid ,
the table of increase for the last
six years show that the lowest
average salary paid the man

paid the woman teacher by $1.77 ,
and that the highest salary paid l
the man teacher cxceeds the
" highest paid l the wouian by
$1.1.19. Superintendent Fowler
has prepared a table of the average -
age salaries for men and women

This table has been compiled
I
from the annual and scull-annual
, reports of county superintendents
. .
and the average salaries paid in
the state were arrived at from a
comparison of average county sal-
, . . aries The decrease of men teachers -
. . . . . . ers and the corresponding increase
-f of women teachers has been unusually -
usually large in the two years
and amounted to a little more
. then 16 per cent in )03. One of
he most important reasons as-
:1' i signed for the retirement of men
tcachcrs. aside from thc financial
side of the matter , is that educators -
ucators arc coming 'more and
_ more to recognize that man is not
adapted for teaching the lower
schools. While he may be a suc-
cess in the higher branches , he
docs not teach the common
school . studies as well as docs the
_ _ woman , lacking the perseverance
'J A ' ' and patience necessary to direct
' -4 the youthful mind. -
. \VQmen teachers now are in de-
mand in the country schools of
. . . . the state , while men are not.
The remarkably low wage scale
of the woman"'is ' her own fault.
.
She does not prepare herself
I
for the work as well as ( doe the

along teaching a minor grade , at
, low wages and with little pros-
pect of a(1\'ancemcnt. This is

The majority of young women
who take up teaching as a pro-
fession ntel' thc ranks imnlcdi-
ately on g'I'aduatingf1'Om the
coin itmon or high schools. Being
only competent to teach elemen-
tary branches , they can command
only low salaries. A normal
course of six months or a year
would enable them to ask for and
receive at least 25 per cent more
than they could command olher-
wise. ' ! 'lie matter of raising the
Wage scale in country schools ties
entirely with the woman teacher.

her worth and by demanding
something better 5h\ will receive
