TENURE AND SALARIES OF TEACHERS Flsed Far and Certain Employment tome of the Things Advocated by Leaders In the Work of Edaeatlon, MINNEAPOLIS. Minn., July 7. Bright skies snd balmy breezes greeted tbe teach ers and educators who arrived here today to attend the session of the National Educational asoclatlon. All Incoming trains brought largef delegations. The local committees had their arrangements so carefully organized that thero was no trouble, snd the assignment of quarters went rapidly on. The meetings of the day were those of the national council and of the Indian educational section. The council Is the Inner circle of the association and election to It Is esteemed a high honor. Ita mem berships are limited and run for life. The session was held in the Unitarian church, and after a few preliminaries Nathan C. Schaeffer of Harrlsburg, state superintendent of public Instruction In Pennsylvania, read a paper on "Taxation as It Relates to School Maintenance." He declared that aa taxation for school pur poses la now the accepted policy of every civilized country, Its nature and purpose should be taught In connection with his tory and civil government. The second paper of the morning was by Albert O. Lane, district superintendent of schools, Chicago, on "Taxation and Teachers' Salaries." He said in part: The reports of county and atate superin tendents ahow that if effective Instruction Is to be Imparted to all .children, more gen erous provision must be mad for the ample compensation of teachers, for permanency In their work and for centralized schools in the rural districts. He commended the proposition that the fund for the payment of teachers' salaries be incressed by the distribution of a larger amount of money to be ralaed by generl state tax, and to be distributed In such a way at to Insure the maintenance of rural schools for 160 to 180 daya each year. He continued: Effective administration of a school sys tem can be most easily secured when the teacher can work with the certainty of a compensation on a fixed scale, without rnd Ical and violent fluctuations, when the gen eral principles of civil service pevall and teachers are retained during efficient serv ice and good behavior. To secure these re sults In the larger cities the statutes relat ing to the raising of taxes for the teachers' salary fund should provide for an adequate and deflnlteamount.
