teachers enjoy certain advantages not shared chas b cople in other occupations no matter how true all this may be there is another side which should in fairness not be overlooked 1 all successful teachers spend a great deal of their spare time in preparation for the next days work most other occupations know noth ing of this when quitting time comes they can lay down their tools and forget all about then- job until the next day no honest teacher can do this and remain very long in the profession 2 while some teachers may loaf during the long summer holidays it will be found that the great majority use that time in study or to fit themselves to in ways to fit themselves to do grandmother mrs pike of bethesda better work 3 other workers be they ever so over the weekend ginger todd of

follow far behind the trend to higher wages but just as soon as the worthy taxpayer feels the pinch teachers salaries take a nosedive although the editor hopes that the teachers salaries will remain where they are long after the inflated prices return to normal there are too many teachers who remember the last depression when salaries hit rock bottom and stayed there to believe that things will
