TEACHERS' SALARIES
Through nearly'all-time members of the uni-
versity faculty have been shockingly underpaid, and
the only reasonable criticism respecting the ad-
vances recently granted is that they were so long
delayed!t
That is the plain,_ blunt truth.
-Other universities have been offering higher
compensation and breaking in disastrously upon
our teaching force; but even in the absence of that
circumstance, salaries here, as a rule, have been un-
fairly low. It wi require many years of advanced
pay to equalize the losses and the sacrifices of the
long years past.
We in Wisconsin should be willing to pay justly
for brains,-and that we have not begi doing to
teachers of any kind anywhere. Artesans whose
trades can be learned in a fortnight, as painters, in
a few months as carpenters, plumbers, electricans,
and steamfitters, often have been better paid than
men and women with college educations requiring
at least four yers of study after the high school
period ! No words can be too strong for condemna-
tion of this outrageous situation, and no praise can
be too high for regents and school boards that now.
even though tardily, are placing this profession of
teaching through decent compensation, on a high
and deserved basis.
We all should be ashamed beyond measure for
our contemptible procrastination in a matter so im-
portant.1
The sound action regarding the university in-
strmctional force should be extended at once univer-
sally throughout every branch of education in all the,
.states.
Starvation wages to the instructors of our girls
and boys are no longer to be sanctioned in Wiscon-
sin, thanks to a deeply awakened 'public conscience
In no manner may our taxes be so advatageously
expended as inthemaking of the best quality of c
izenship, and that is precisely what our teachers are
doing.-MIadison, Wis., Democrat.
FACTORYLABOR ON THE FARM
Searching a few months ago for a glint df silver
in the cloud of labor troubles which overshadowed
the farms ofhe nation, we thought we had found
it in the factories which wer turning out tractors
and other improved farm machinery at an unpre-
cedented rate. Seeing at the time no better way to
lighten the gloom of the farmers, we pointed eut
'that the laborer drawn from the farm to the factory
eventually would send back to the farm a machine
which would do twice the work which he hadbeen
able to do.
That assertion provoked a broadside,, of protest
from the farms. Rural correspondents threw down
their pit~hforks and picked up lead pencils to in-
form us that we knew nothing about the farmer or
his problems. They advised us with rustic simplic-
ity of speech that if we had nothing wiser or more
comforting than that to say we had better keep still.
We were silenced, if not convinced.
It is comforting to ;us, therefore,if not to the
farmer, to note that one of the high lights of Arthur
Evans' careful observation in six agricultural states
has been upon the overcoyning of labor shortage by
improved farming machinery. Writing from Aber-
deen, S. D., he says: "The farmer here seems to be
reaching the point, through te -use of more and bet-
ter machinery, where he is less and less dependent
upon. migratory labor during the harvest rush."
This observation is typical of that in the other states
visited. It is a sign of the times.
Bright lights, high wages and short hours may-
be the attraction which takes the laborer from the
farm to the city. Demand for his services is what'
holds him there, This demand is in part due to the
need of factory products on the farms. It may
mean a slow adjustment, but it does mean adjust-
ment.--The Chicago Tribune.

Abaft the News
Our laboring classes are starving, starving for,
something to buy. The profiteer is dodging all the
time. Dodging the dollhrs that our hardworked
laborers throw at him.
