10 THE FALLS CITY TRIBUNE rVray 6) L904 Educational 'Department Conducted by County Superintendent Croc1er - - - 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- , , : . gram ' ' t Attendance Prize. .

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 with regard to our Insular possessions - 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.
