TEACHERS' SALARIES
' Sir,—One trusts that something ieally effective will be done towards making teachers' salaries more adequate. This'is necessary, not only to provide fitting remuneration for the work the teachers are doing at present, but also to attract the best men and women to the professivn. To achieve this latter purpose it seems important to give the man of energy and ability something to make it 'worth while to enter, and remain in the profession; the salaries obtainable by til! best, teachers after ten or tuenry years' service need doubling, so as to bring them into line wit'n oilier professions. At; present many of tho best men leave teaching to take up law, medicine, or commercial life, because they 'see that teaching offers no prospects. The influence of (lie teachers of our growing population is more important than any other. Teachers must be the very liesl obtained. To get them we must offer not only a fair salary to start with but the prospect of ultimately earning as much as men with equal education can get In other professions.—l am, etc., M.IC.
