REPORT OF THE SPECIAL COMMISSION ON 
 TEACHERS' SALARIES. 
 
 Teacher Shortage in the United States. 
 
 The war and conditions growing out of the war have made 
 large inroads upon the teaching force in the public schools of 
 this country. Government service and private commercial and 
 industrial establishments, suddenly offering largely increased 
 wages, have attracted many teachers from the schools, and the 
 rapidly mounting cost of living has forced others to abandon 
 teaching. A large loss of teachers was thus sustained before 
 the public had become sufficiently aroused to grant the in- 
 creases in salaries necessary to stay the exodus. Furthermore, 
 the many new opportunities offering lucrative wages to young 
 men and women without any special training attracted many 
 students from the normal schools, and turned aside many from 
 considering teaching as a life work. 
 
 The Secretary of the Interior has reported that 143,000 out 
 of approximately 650,000 teachers in the United States resigned 
 last year on account of inadequate wages; and the United 
 States Commissioner of Education recently announced that 
 20,000 schools involving 500,000 pupils are closed for lack of 
 teachers, and 40,000 schools are supplied with teachers below 
 the minimum standard of proficiency. 
 
 When one considers in this connection the decrease of about 
 30 per cent in the enrollment of the normal schools, the largest 
 single source of supply of trained teachers, it becomes clear 
 that there is a very real emergency facing the schools of this 
 country. Furthermore, this emergency comes at a time when 
 the demands made upon the public schools have been greatly 
 enlarged as a result of the needs revealed by the war. 
 
 Supply of Teachers in Massachusetts. 
 The teacher shortage as generally manifested throughout the 
 country has appeared to show these results: first, the closing of 
 schools; second, the employment of teachers with less than the 
 
10 COMMISSION ON TEACHERS' SALARIES. 
 
 usual qualifications; third, a decrease in the enrollment of 
 teacher-training institutions. The Teachers' Salary Commis- 
 sion for Massachusetts has made an investigation of the supply 
 of teachers, and the salaries and qualifications of the teachers, 
 in service in all towns and cities of the Commonwealth. 
 The facts disclosed by these inquiries show that very few 
 schools in Massachusetts have been closed as a result of the 
 teacher shortage. Indeed, on Feb. 15, 1920, only 40 teaching 
 positions were vacant through lack of teachers, and in nearly 
 all of these cases instruction was being provided to the pupils 
 concerned, either by the use of the platoon plan or by the 
 consolidation of schools and classes. 
 
 Finding that the nature of the teacher shortage in Massa- 
 chusetts was not such as to cause an appreciable closing of the 
 schools, the Commission has sought to determine to what extent 
 teachers are leaving the schools of Massachusetts, and whether 
 the teachers employed to fill the vacancies are less well qualified 
 than those who have left. Attention is called to Tables I to IV, 
 showing the number and destination of teachers leaving Massa- 
 chusetts schools during 1919, and the number and source of 
 those employed for the first time in Massachusetts schools 
 during 1919. From Table I it appears that 1,772 teachers, or 
 9.2 per cent of the State's teaching force, terminated their 
 employment in the schools of Massachusetts last year. Of 
 these teachers, 17 per cent left to teach in other States, notably 
 the other New England States and New Jersey, and 20 per 
 cent left to enter other employment than teaching, chiefly 
 commercial, industrial, and domestic work. It is a fair pre- 
 sumption that a large majority of these two groups comprising 
 664 teachers left our schools in order to accept more lucrative 
 positions.

 Notwithstanding the large loss of teachers in 1919 and the 
 increasing difficulty experienced by superintendents of schools 
 in securing new teachers, Massachusetts has been more success- 
 ful than many States in recruiting teachers to fill the vacancies 
 arising. As shown in Table II, enough teachers were secured 
 to fill the vacancies occurring in 1919, and, in addition, to 
 supply about 300 new teaching positions.

CHANGE IN TEACHING FORCE IN 1919. 
 
 21 
 
 Our investigations show also that the teachers employed in 
 1919 for the first time in the schools of the several towns and 
 cities of the State were as well qualified in respect to profes- 
 sional preparation as the teachers in service at the beginning 
 of 1919 or 1918. Indeed, the steady improvement in the 
 educational qualifications of the teaching force that has been 
 evident for a number of years does not appear to have been 
 arrested. Attention is called to Tables V and VI. 
 
 100/.

24 COMMISSION ON TEACHERS' SALARIES. 
 
 After a study of conditions in all towns and cities of the 
 Commonwealth, the Commission is unable to find that there 
 has been any appreciable closing of schools or lowering of the 
 professional qualifications of teachers in Massachusetts. The 
 relatively favorable showing for this State is in part due to the 
 fact that very substantial increases in teachers' salaries have 
 been made during the past few years, and particularly during 
 1919. Attention is called to Tables VII and VIII, showing the 
 increase in cost of living in Massachusetts during the period 
 1910-20, and the average salaries of elementary and high school 
 teachers for the school years 1910-11, 1915-16, and on Jan. 
 1, 1920.

TEACHERS IN TRAINING. 27 
 
 As shown by the preceding tables, the cost of living increased 
 about 100 per cent from 1910 to 1920, whereas the average 
 salary of elementary school teachers increased 85.1 per cent 
 and that of high school teachers 50.7 per cent during the same 
 period. The average salary of elementary teachers in 1920 
 is $1,237.83, and that of high school teachers, $1,695.48. 
 Taking into account the increased cost of living, the former is 
 equivalent in value to a salary of $618.92 in 1910, or $49.80 
 less than the average salary at that time, and the latter is 
 equivalent in value to a salary of $847.74 in 1910, or $277.26 
 less than the average at that time. It is evident that the 
 increase in salaries, though very decided, has not been equiva- 
 lent to the increase in cost of living. Although further 
 progress must be made, the Commission is nevertheless im- 
 pressed with the fact that Massachusetts, largely through the 
 agency of the local communities, appears to have responded 
 more promptly and more adequately than many States to meet 
 the needs of the present emergency. 
 
 Decreasing Enrollment of the State Normal Schools. 
 
 One of the most disturbing conditions which the Commission 
 has found in the course of its investigations is the decreasing 
 enrollment in the State normal schools. It should be noted that 
 of the 2,070 teachers employed for the first time in the schools 
 of Massachusetts during 1919, as shown in Table II, only 569, 
 or 27.5 per cent, came from the State normal schools, and but 
 462, or 20 per cent, came from attendance at college and other 
 schools in Massachusetts. Of the remainder, 604, or 29 per 
 cent, came from teaching positions in other States, chiefly New 
 England States; 3 per cent came from attendance at schools in 
 other States; and 17 per cent from other employments than 
 teaching, chiefly government service and employment at home. 
 It is clear that from the standpoint of the teacher supply, the 
 State is not producing a sufficient number of teachers to fill 
 the vacancies annually arising. 
 
 These facts challenge attention to the inadequacy of the 
 supply of teachers coming from our State normal schools. 
 Indeed, since 1917 there has been a marked decrease in the 
 enrollment, amounting to over 37 per cent in the number of 
 men, and 27 per cent in the number of women. The schools of

 COMMISSION ON TEACHERS' SALARIES. 
 
 Massachusetts received 150 fewer teachers from the graduating 
 class of 1919 than from the class of 1917. This represents a 
 loss of trained teachers in one year sufficient in numbers to 
 instruct all the children in the schools of the 64 smallest towns 
 of the State. 
 
 Attention is called to Tables IX and X showing the enroll- 
 ment of the State normal schools for the past five years, also 
 the number and present employment or state of the students 
 graduated during that period. In addition to the striking 
 decrease in enrollment, these tables show that about 1,300, or 
 nearly one-third of the students graduated during those years, 
 are not now teaching in Massachusetts schools. Of these, 
 about 550 are teaching in other States, notably Connecticut, 
 New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Rhode Island, and 
 Vermont, and about 600 are engaged in other occupations than 
 teaching.

 If Massachusetts had retained from these two groups of 
 teachers all except those whose services were terminated because 
 of marriage, disability, or death, they would have comprised a

TEACHERS IN TRAINING. 31 
 
 sufficient number of trained teachers for all schools in the 125 
 small towns without high schools. 
 
 The applications for admission to the normal schools for the 
 coming year indicate that the enrollment will be somewhat 
 increased, and that the higher salaries now being paid are 
 already having an influence in turning the attention of larger 
 numbers of young women to the consideration of teaching as 
 a vocation. If, however, the vacancies annually arising in the 
 elementary schools of Massachusetts were to be supplied largely 
 from the Massachusetts State normal schools, it would be 
 necessary for these schools to graduate about two and one-half 
 times as many students as at present. 
 
 Although the colleges and private training schools usually 
 make a notable contribution to our teaching force, a relatively 
 small number of those who graduate this year have in mind 
 teaching in Massachusetts. Seventeen colleges and universities 
 graduating more than 4,000 students this year report only 176 
 who plan to teach in Massachusetts schools, — 16 in elementary 
 schools, and 160 in high schools. The Boston Normal School 
 reports 79 graduates, and five private kindergarten training 
 schools report a total of 73 graduates, who plan to teach in the 
 elementary schools of this State. 
 
 It is clear from the foregoing facts that if, as in 1919, 2,000 
 new teachers are required for the coming school year, the 
 Massachusetts normal schools, colleges, and private training 
 schools are not likely to provide more than one-half that 
 number. We shall again find it necessary to secure 1,000 new 
 teachers from other States and other employments than 
 teaching. 
 
 The Commission is convinced that this situation calls for a 
 concerted effort on the part of the school authorities to en- 
 courage young men and women of suitable personality and 
 other qualifications to enter upon the work of teaching. The 
 colleges, through faculty members, student advisors, and ap- 
 pointments offices, should endeavor to acquaint the students 
 with the large field of service and the increasing salaries offered 
 in public school work. Teachers in secondary schools are in a 
 peculiarly favorable position to acquaint their pupils with the 
 opportunities offered in the ten State normal schools to acquire

 both a liberal and a professional education at a minimum cost. 
 Accompanied by the stimulus of increasing salaries, a conscious 
 and concerted effort on the part of school teachers and officials 
 in the directions above indicated will, in the judgment of the 
 Commission, go far toward accomplishing the purpose. 
 
 Deficiency of Qualified Teachers in Small Towns. 
 
 Although Massachusetts as a State has been successful in 
 maintaining the quality of its teaching force during the past 
 two years, the Commission has been impressed with the very 
 marked contrast between the urban and rural communities in 
 respect to the proportion of qualified teachers employed. 
 
 The cities and large towns have thus far been able to recruit 
 their teaching force without an appreciable lowering of the 
 customary standards of qualifications. While in many cases 
 teaching experience as a prerequisite to employment has been 
 abandoned, the larger communities have been able very gener- 
 ally to secure new teachers with the customary educational 
 training, — namely, graduation from college, normal school, or 
 city training school. 
 
 The small towns, on the other hand, have been far less 
 successful in the keen competition for qualified teachers. One- 
 third of all new teachers employed during the last calendar 
 year in 125 small towns without high schools were graduates 
 of secondary schools only, and nearly two-thirds of those in the 
 50 smallest towns were no better qualified. Rating as trained 
 teachers those who have graduated from college, normal school, 
 or city training school, 14 rural towns in Massachusetts have 
 no trained teachers, and 43 have less than half. Indeed, 36 
 per cent of all teachers in the 125 towns of Group IV 1 are un- 
 trained as against 20 per cent in Group III, 14 per cent in 
 Group II, and 12 per cent in Group I. (Table XI.) 
 
 It is also to be observed that less than 150 out of more than 
 4,500 students graduated from the Massachusetts State normal 
 schools during the past five years are teaching in the 785 one- 
 teacher rural schools of Massachusetts.

 In respect to teaching experience much the same contrast 
 appears between the teachers in the small towns and those in 
 the larger towns and cities. Attention is called to Table XII, 
 which shows that over 26 per cent of the teachers in Group IV 1 
 had less than one year of teaching experience prior to Sept. 
 1, 1919, as against 18 per cent in Group III, 6 per cent in 
 Group II, and 3 per cent in Group I.

 Excessive Change in the Peksonnel of the Teaching 
 Force in the Small Towns. 
 Not only do the schools of the small towns sustain a loss 
 because of the lack of qualified teachers, but they are also 
 seriously handicapped by the excessive change in the personnel 
 of the teaching force. In 1919 the schools of Massachusetts 
 sustained a loss of over 1,700 teachers. The Commission finds 
 that a disproportionate part of this loss fell upon the small 
 towns. These towns lose relatively more teachers than do the 
 larger towns to the schools of other States and to other em- 
 ployments than teaching, and, in addition, they lose many 
 teachers to the higher salaried positions in the urban schools 
 within this State. Attention is called to Table XIII showing 
 the extent of change in the personnel of the teaching force of the 
 several groups of cities and towns during 1919.

 It is evident that the change in personnel of the teaching 
 force in the small towns of Group IV * in 1919 was over four 
 times that occurring in the cities and twice that in the large 
 towns. This situation is further revealed in Table XIV, 
 showing for the several groups of cities and towns the propor- 
 tion of teachers who have served for varying periods of tenure 
 in the municipalities where now employed. The teachers who 
 began work in their present positions after Sept. 1, 1919, or 
 had completed less than one year previous to that date, com- 
 prise over 47 per cent of the teaching force in the towns of 
 Group IV; 37 per cent in the towns of Group III; 24 per cent 
 in the towns of Group II; and only 11 per cent in the cities of 
 Group I. When the rural schools are thus called upon to 
 serve as training stations for the teachers in urban communities, 
 it is clear that the effectiveness and the continuity of the work 
 in the rural schools must suffer materially.

 Leveling up of Teachers' Salaries — A Manifest Need. 
 
 Although town and city life present strong attractions to 
 many teachers, the most potent cause for the failure of the 
 smaller towns to secure and retain their relative quota of 
 qualified teachers is to be found in the low salaries there paid. 
 Table XV clearly shows the striking difference between the 
 average salary of teachers in the smaller towns and in the 
 larger towns and cities.

 Even allowing for the greater cost of living in urban com- 
 munities (see page 126), it is evident that the salaries of city 
 teachers are nearly twice those of rural teachers. Further- 
 more, since 1910 the difference between the average salary of 
 the city teacher and that of the teacher in towns of Group IV 
 has increased from $490 to $728; and during the last financial 
 year the increases in teachers' salaries granted by the cities 
 were about double those granted in the rural towns. The 
 divergence, therefore, seems to be increasing rather than 
 decreasing. Indeed, many of the small towns find themselves 
 so handicapped with low valuation and scattered population 
 that the burden of paying the higher salaries necessary to 
 secure and retain trained teachers for all their schools becomes 
 excessive. 
 
 Recommendations. 
 
 The Commission believes that any legislation dealing with 
 the subject placed before it should seek to set higher minimum 
 salaries, and to extend the operation of the principle already 
 adopted with reference to the equalization of the burden of 
 school support. This legislation should aim in the direction of 
 providing for all schools, whether urban or rural, a certain high 
 level of teaching service. Without a larger measure of State 
 support this level of service cannot be attained. Having this pur- 
 pose in view, the following recommendations * are submitted : — 
 
 1. That chapter 197 of the General Acts of 1918, an act to 
 establish a minimum salary for certain school teachers, be so 
 
 1 For acts embodying the legislative proposals see page 158. 
 
40 
 
 COMMISSION ON TEACHERS' SALARIES. 
 
 amended that the minimum legal salary shall be raised from 
 $550 to not less than $800, and that the exemption of towns 
 having less than $1,000,000 valuation from the operation of this 
 law be removed. Investigation shows that about 1,450, or 8 
 per cent, of the teachers of the entire State are now receiving 
 less than $800. 
 
 2. That chapter 363 of the General Acts of 1919 be amended 
 as follows: (a) so that the minimum salaries stipulated in the 
 act, namely, $650, $750, and $850, be raised to not less than 
 $800, $900, and $1,000, respectively, and that the State aid the 
 local communities in meeting these higher salaries by increasing 
 the reimbursements provided for in the aforesaid act from $100, 
 $150, and $200 per teacher to not less than $250, $300, and 
 $350, respectively; and (b) so that salaries up to $1,000 instead 
 of $850, as at present, be included in computing the assured 
 minimum under Part II, section 10. 
 
 The aforesaid chapter 363 has not been in operation a suffi- 
 cient length of time to demonstrate its full benefits, as the 
 first disbursement under the act was made before many of the 
 small towns could adjust teachers' salaries in such a way as to 
 entitle them to full reimbursement. The results of the first 
 disbursement, however, show that the act is already operating 
 in a helpful way, particularly to the rural towns of low valua- 
 tion. Attention is called to Table XVI.

HIGHER SALARIES NECESSARY. 41 
 
 As a result of the general upward movement in teachers' 
 salaries, and the assistance given by the State to rural towns, 
 hardly more than 2,000 teachers in Massachusetts are now 
 receiving less than $850 per year, whereas two years ago, 
 nearly 2,000 teachers were receiving less than $550. The 
 Commission is convinced, however, that much more progress 
 must be made in this direction. The diminishing enrollment 
 in the State normal schools, the small proportion of college 
 graduates who enter teaching, and the failure of the smaller 
 towns to secure a sufficient number of qualified teachers and to 
 retain qualified teachers for a reasonable tenure, are conditions 
 that call for further attention and more effective remedy. 
 Although the circumstances under which some teachers work 
 may have a bearing upon these conditions, the fundamental 
 cause is economic. The tangible rewards of teaching have been 
 too low. 
 
 The salaries paid have not afforded adequate recognition of 
 investments in time and money which teachers make to secure 
 the necessary preparation for teaching. After completing the 
 secondary school, the typical elementary school teacher devotes 
 two years to further study, and the typical high school teacher 
 four years. The expenses incidental to this special prepara- 
 tion, plus the income that might have been derived from 
 employment during this period, constitute a substantial sum. 
 In addition to these initial expenses for preparation the 
 ambitious teacher continues during her teaching career to make 
 substantial outlays for professional reading and professional 
 improvement courses. In appraising the adequacy of the 
 teacher's wage as compared with the wages earned in other 
 employments, it is necessary to take into consideration these 
 special investments which the teacher makes for professional 
 preparation and improvement in service. 
 
 The Commission has not undertaken to determine in exact 
 terms what salaries shall be paid to teachers in Massachusetts. 
 Indeed, the wide variety of conditions presented by local 
 communities, and the uncertainty of the general economic 
 situation, would heavily discount the value of such an under- 
 taking. The Commission believes that it is rendering more 
 effective assistance to school officials and teachers by exhibiting 
 
42 COMMISSION ON TEACHERS' SALARIES. 
 
 in the statistical section of its report the salaries paid at the 
 beginning of this year by all towns and cities of the State and 
 by certain communities outside the State, and by showing the 
 notable progress that has been made during the past ten years. 
 In general, the Commission is convinced that if Massachusetts 
 is to realize the largest returns from its investment in education, 
 salaries of teachers in the public schools must continue to 
 increase, so as to accomplish the following purposes: first, to 
 attract into the teaching profession capable young men and 
 women in sufficient numbers to supply all vacancies with well- 
 qualified teachers; second, to retain efficient teachers now in 
 service; third, to guarantee that communities of low valuation 
 as well as those of high valuation shall be able to secure and 
 retain well-qualified teachers; and fourth, to enable all teachers to 
 provide from salary earnings the necessaries of life, and savings 
 and insurance against disability and old age, as well as to make 
 those investments that result in continued growth in profes- 
 sional efficiency.

 I. Salaries and Qualifications of Teachers and Related 
 
 Information. 
 Explanation of Tekms. 
 
 The following table, pages 50 to 105, contains information relative to 
 the salaries and qualifications of teachers and certain other conditions 
 affecting the employment of teachers in the several towns and cities of 
 the Commonwealth. Unless otherwise stated, the data given were derived 
 from an inquiry sent to the superintendents of schools of the 354 towns 
 and cities Feb. 10, 1920. The information thus secured is given as of 
 Jan. 1, 1920. 
 
 An index to the table is found on pages 48 and 49. The cities and towns 
 are divided into four groups and arranged within each group in the order 
 of population, as follows : — 
 
 Index Numbers 
 
 Group I. Cities . . . 1-38 
 
 Group II. Towns of 5,000 population or over ..... 39-113 
 Group III. Towns of less than 5,000 population and maintaining public 
 
 high schools 114-229 
 
 Group IV. Towns of less than 5,000 population and not maintaining 
 
 public high schools . . . . . . . 230-354 
 
 Unless otherwise indicated, the word "teacher" as used in this table 
 includes principals and full-time teachers in the public day schools. 
 Part-time teachers are not included. "Elementary schools" as used in 
 this table includes kindergartens, grades 1 to 8 or 9, and junior high 
 schools. "N.d." indicates that no data were supplied. 
 
 The table gives 80 items of information for the cities in Group I. It 
 has been necessary to omit a number of these items for the towns in 
 Groups II, III, and IV; but each item retains throughout the table the 
 same number in the column heading. The table contains the following 
 data : — 
 
 Column 
 
 Number Title and Explanation 
 
 1. Population, State census of 1915. 
 
 2. Valuation, as of April 1, 1919. This is obtained from Pub- 
 
 lic Document No. 19, Part 1, and does not include sup- 
 plementary assessments made between the 10th and 20th 
 of December, 1919, on property as of April 1, 1919. 
 
 3. Valuation (1918) per pupil, 1918-19. This figure is taken 
 
 from the eighty-third Annual Report of the Department 
 of Education. It is based on the net average membership 
 of the public day schools for the year ending June 30, 
 1919, and on the valuation of April 1, 1918, including 
 December assessments. This item is the best single index 
 available of the financial ability of a city or town to 
 support good schools. 
 
 4. School tax per $1,000 valuation, city fiscal year next pre- 
 
 ceding June 30, 1919. This figure is taken from the

 eighty-third Annual Report of the Department of Edu- 
 cation, and represents the amount of money raised from 
 local taxation for the support of schools for each $1,000 
 valuation. When applied to towns the figure is for the 
 fiscal year ending Dec. 31, 1918.. This item is the best 
 single index available of the financial effort made by a 
 city or town to support good schools. 
 5. Expenditures for teachers' salaries, 1919, per $1,000 valu- 
 ation, 1919. This figure is the total amount expended for 
 salaries of principals and full-time teachers for the cal- 
 endar year 1919 per thousand dollars of valuation (April 
 1, 1919, without December assessments). It is obviously 
 impossible to determine what proportion of the school 
 tax is devoted to salaries by comparing columns 4 and 5, 
 inasmuch as column 4 applies to 1918 and column 5 to 
 1919. Column 5, however, shows the relative expendi- 
 tures of the several cities and towns of the State for 
 teachers' salaries during 1919. 
 6-9. Number of teachers in elementary schools and high schools, 
 men and women. 
 
 10-17. Comparison of the average salaries of teachers, 1910-11, 
 1915-16, and Jan. 1, 1920. Salaries of directors and 
 teachers of special subjects are not included. 
 
 10, 14. Average salaries of teachers, 1910-11. This information 
 was secured by averaging salaries reported to the State 
 Board of Education for the school year 1910-11 and 
 published in the Seventy-fifth Report of the Board. 
 
 11. 15. Average salaries of teachers, 1915-16. This information 
 
 was secured by averaging the salaries reported to the 
 State Board of Education for the school year 1915-16 
 and published in bulletin of the Board, No. 1, 1917. 
 
 12. 16. Average salaries of teachers, Jan. 1, 1920. This informa- 
 
 tion was secured by averaging the salaries reported to the 
 State Department of Education as of Jan. 1, 1920. 
 
 13. 17. Per cent increase Jan. 1, 1920, over 1910-11. 
 
 18-21. Average salaries of teachers, Jan. 1, 1920, showing salaries 
 of men and women separately. 
 
 22-59. Salaries paid in certain positions, Jan. 1, 1920. Wherever 
 practicable, the lowest, median, and highest salaries paid 
 in the several positions have been given. The median 
 salary is the mid-most salary when the salaries are ar- 
 ranged in ascending or descending order. In case there 
 is an even number of salaries, the median is secured by 
 averaging the two mid-most salaries in the series. 
 22. Salaries of superintendents of schools. The salary of a 
 superintendent of schools serving a union of towns is 
 indicated by (U).

 23-28. Salaries of principals of elementary schools. In this table 
 those persons devoting at least one-half their time to the 
 work of supervision and administration have been clas- 
 sified as principals, and those devoting all or more than 
 half their time to class-room instruction have been clas- 
 sified as teachers. 
 
 29-31. Salaries of teachers and assistants in kindergartens. 
 
 32-40. Salaries of women in elementary schools. When towns and 
 cities make a differentiation between the salaries paid in 
 grades 1 to 6 and those paid in grades 7 to 9, such differ- 
 entiation is shown in columns 32 to 37. 
 41. Salaries of principals of high schools. The principal of a 
 high school has been listed in each case as principal, re- 
 gardless of the relative amount of time spent in teaching 
 and supervision. 
 
 42-47. Salaries of heads of departments in high schools. All teach- 
 ers having supervisory powers, except the principal, have 
 been included under heads of departments. 
 
 48-53. Salaries of teachers in high schools. All teachers not having 
 supervisory powers have been classified as teachers. 
 
 54-59. Salaries of directors and teachers of special subjects. 
 Under this heading are included salaries of persons who 
 direct the teaching of or who teach such special subjects 
 as the following: music, drawing, manual training, 
 domestic science, and physical training.

SUMMARY TABLE OF SALARIES. 
 
 123 
 
 IV. Summaey Table of Salaries paid to Teachers, Jan. 
 1, 1920, showing the medians, arithmetical averages, 
 and Upper and Lower Quartiles. 
 
 [Explanation of Terms. — The median is the midmost salary in any group when the salaries 
 are listed in ascending or descending order. When the group under consideration contains an 
 even number of salaries thus listed, the median is found by averaging the two midmost salaries. 
 
 The upper quartile is found midway between the median and the highest salary, and the 
 lower quartile is found midway between the median and the lowest salary in the group. 
 
 The arithmetical average is the term in common use, and is obtained by dividing the sum of 
 all salaries in a group by the number of salaries. 
 
 For a definition of the several groups of cities and towns, see footnote on page 12.]

 professional and academic study. Satisfactory pursuit of a college course 
 or .courses approved by the board of superintendents, or of a course or 
 courses authorized by and conducted under the direction of the board of 
 superintendents, or of other courses approved by the board of superin- 
 tendents, may be accepted by said board at its discretion as a substitute 
 for a part of the professional and academic examination. 
 
 2. All teachers, except principals and members of the supervising 
 staff, whose compensation is on a sliding scale, with a fixed increase 
 for each successive year of service, must pass a first promotional exam- 
 ination before the second anniversary of the date of the beginning of

 4. Teachers who fail to pass successfully a first promotional examina- 
 tion shall remain on that year of their respective salary schedules on 
 which they were prior to the second anniversary of the date of the be- 
 ginning of their service for another year, and shall then be re-examined. 
 If they then successfully pass the examination, they shall be advanced to 
 the next year of their respective schedules, and succeeding anniversaries 
 shall be reckoned from the date of such examination. The employment 
 of teachers who fail to pass successfully a first promotional examination 
 on two successive occasions shall terminate on the last day of August 
 or on the last day of January, whichever date next follows the second 
 examination. 
 
 Sect. 326. 1. Teachers who are subject to the provisions of the 
 regulations relating to a first promotional examination shall be required 
 to pass a second promotional examination before the sixth anniversary of 
 the date upon which they began service as a prerequisite to further ad- 
 vancement in the salary schedule of their respective ranks. Teachers who 
 elect not to take such examination shall remain on the salary they were 
 receiving immediately preceding the sixth anniversary of the date of the 
 beginning of their service. 
 
 2. Teachers who successfully pass a second promotional examination 
 shall be advanced in salary in accordance with their respective schedules 
 until the maximum salary of their rank or grade is reached. 
 
 3. Teachers who fail to pass a second promotional examination, or who 
 elect not to take such examination, shall not be further advanced in the 
 salary schedule of their respective ranks beyond the salary they were 
 receiving prior to the sixth anniversary qf the date upon which they

 motional examination succeeding anniversaries shall be reckoned from the 
 date of taking such examination.

 shall not be required to pass additional promotional examinations because 
 of such promotion, but shall remain subject to the requirements of the 
 regulations with respect to such examinations, and shall not be advanced 
 in salary more than once (exclusive of the increase granted at the time 
 of promotion) after their original appointment, until they., shall have

 to pass two promotional examinations, after said promotion, at the same 
 times and under the same conditions as new teachers appointed to sim- 
 ilar positions.

 1 Previous experience in addition to the two years required may count in advancing a teacher's 
 position upon the salary schedule. 
 
 The school committee reserves the right to fix the salary of 
 each individual teacher, the schedule serving only as an indica- 
 tion of probable action in such cases as come within its scope. 
 
 A teaching principal of an elementary school will be paid 
 $25 per room in addition to her salary as a grade teacher. 
 
 Supervisors of special subjects will be placed on the high 
 school salary schedule if they supervise or teach in the high 
 school; otherwise, on the elementary schedule. 
 
 For the Encouragement of Professional Growth. 
 
 Summer School. — Any teacher or supervisor in the public 
 schools of Webster, who takes in a normal or college summer 
 school of recognized standard, a course of not less than 30 pro- 
 gram hours, shall receive for the school year immediately follow- 
 ing an advance of $50 in salary. This advance is for one year 
 only. To retain it a teacher must take a similar professional 
 course the next summer, and so on until four summer courses 
 have been taken, when the advance will be $100, and will be 
 permanent. 
 
 The four years' summer school attendance may be taken at 
 the discretion of the teacher, provided they are taken within a 
 period of eight years. 
 
 No further advance in salary will be made on this account 
 until a lapse of five years, when $50 will again be allowed for 
 each year's attendance at summer school until the fourth year, 
 when the allowance will be $100, and become permanent. 
 
METHODS OF PROMOTION ON SCHEDULE. 151 
 
 In accordance with the foregoing regulation a teacher may 
 receive a salary advance of $100 independently of the regular 
 salary schedule at the end of each period of nine years' service, 
 together with an allowance of $50 for each of the three previous 
 years while attending a summer school. 
 
 A certificate from the authorities of the summer school, show- 
 ing a satisfactory completion of the work each year, must be 
 presented before the salary increase is granted. 
 
 Saturday Courses. — Saturday courses at approved institu- 
 tions of not less than 30 program hours will be accepted for the 
 same salary rating as summer school courses. 
 
 University Extension and Correspondence Courses. — Salary 
 increases may be obtained also by taking university extension 
 courses and normal school and college correspondence courses. 
 Such courses will be credited in a manner similar to courses at 
 summer school. 
 
 Reading Courses. — The reading of four professional books, 
 two of which must relate directly to the classroom work of the 
 teacher, together with an examination upon each, will be accepted 
 for an increase in salary of $50 for one year. When sixteen 
 such books have been read within a period of eight years, and 
 a satisfactory examination passed upon the same, the increase 
 in salary will be $100 and become permanent. 
 
 Qualified Teachers of Penmanship. — All teachers of penman- 
 ship holding acceptable certificates as qualified teachers of 
 writing will be given a permanent advance of $50 in salary 
 beyond their regular schedule standing. 
 
 Other Activities. — Accomplishments through travel, music, 
 lecture courses, the development of some educational project, 
 or some other activity which has contributed to a teacher's 
 greater success in classroom work, will receive careful considera- 
 tion at the teacher's request, and may be recognized by an 
 increase in salary. 
 
 Approval in Advance. — The written approval of the superin- 
 tendent of schools for all courses to be pursued with the expec- 
 tation of an increase in salary must be obtained before the 
 course is taken.

 Under the provisions of chapter 680 of the Acts of 1920, the 
 State of New York appropriated $20,550,000 from the State 
 treasury to increase teachers' salaries throughout the State. 
 
 The act provides for an additional apportionment from State 
 funds to the cities and school districts on account of the em- 
 ployment of each teacher, as follows: — 
 
 (a) To cities of first class having population of over 1,000,000, $600. 
 
 (6) To cities having population of less than 1,000,000, $550. 
 
 (c) To cities having population of over 50,000, $450. 
 
 (d) To other cities with a population of less than 50,000, $350. 
 
 (e) To union free school districts maintaining academic departments and 
 
 not located in the cities of the foregoing classes, $300. 
 
 (/) To other school districts employing more than one teacher, $250. 
 
 (g) To other school districts employing but one teacher and having a 
 valuation of over $100,000, $200. 
 
 (h) To each other school district employing but one teacher and having 
 an assessed valuation of $100,000 or less, $200, and in addition 
 thereto $2 for each entire thousand dollars that the assessed valua- 
 tion of such district is less than $100,000. 
 
 The law also establishes minimum salary schedules for teachers 
 in the several classes of cities and school districts, becoming 
 operative Aug. 1, 1920, as follows (see Table on page 156): —

MINIMUM SALARY LAWS. 
 
 157 
 
 Ohio. 
 
 The last General Assembly of Ohio enacted a law that provides 
 for the levying of an annual tax of 1 1-10 mills on the grand 
 list of taxable property of the State, the proceeds of which are 
 to constitute the State common school fund, and an additional 
 tax of 1 mill, the proceeds of which are to be contained in the 
 several counties for the support of schools therein. 
 
 It is further provided that 373^2 per cent of the salary of each 
 teacher receiving not less than $800 shall be paid from the two 
 aforesaid sources, the maximum amount receivable on account 
 of each teacher by this provision being $900. As no aid under 
 the provisions of this act is granted to the school districts on 
 account of teachers receiving less than $800, this law establishes 
 $800 as the effective minimum salary. 
 
 Indiana. 
 
 Indiana has recently enacted a law establishing a minimum 
 legal salary of $800 for each teacher, and in addition thereto 
 requiring the payment of larger salaries to teachers having 
 certain qualifications. The application of this Indiana law is 
 well illustrated by the following minimum salary schedule 
 adopted in Putnam County: — 
 
 Class A, beginning teachers, . 
 
 Class B, 1 year of experience, 
 
 Class C, 3 or more years of experience, . 
 
 Class D, 5 or more years of experience, . 
 
 Class E, teachers exempt from examination, 1

 and teachers without normal school training who had successful teaching experience previous 
 to 1908.
