EVIDENTLY SHE TEACHES FOR
THE LOVE OF TEACHING.
A gohd deal of light"is being thrown
on the school teacher and the salary
attached to the teaching job by the
newspapers of the country these days,
and the more the question is discuss
ed the more absurd and impossible
boeomoR the 'public’s attitude towards
the payment of those employed in this
fundamental work. It is very evident

HIGH PRICES AND HIGH
WAGES
High prices, both for labor and
commodities, are generally re
garded as one of the penalties of
war. and the return of prices to
a lower level lias been looked for
ward to as one of the blessings
which would follow the declara
tion of peace. Up to the present
time changes have been insignifi-
eaat and competent authorities
are of the opinion that pre-war
prices will never return. Dr. Irv
ing Fisher, professor of political
economy in Yale University,
makes the following statement
upon the subject: “Business men
should face the facts. To talk
reverently of 1913-14 prices is to
speak a (lead language today. The
buyers of the country, since the
armistice, have made an unex
ampled attack upon prices
through their waiting attitude,
and yet price recessions have been
insiirnificant. The reason is that
we are on a new high-priee level,
which will he found a stubborn
reality. Business men are going
to find out that the clever man is
not the man who waits, but the
one who finds out the price facts
and acts accordingly.’’
High prices and high wages are
not to be deplored after they have
become fixed. The hardships en
tailed come in conjunction with
the period of adjustment, and dur
ing this period some branches of
business and some industries suf
fer. Recognizing the necessity
and permanence of high wages
every business man should adjust
bis business accordingly, so that
there may he both a margin of
profit for himself and increased
wages for those who are in his
employ. In most cases the reason
why high prices fall so heavily up
on the salaried man is that the
business man has been sjpw to add
a wage increase to the price of
that which he has to sell. Whep
all adjustments are properly made
high prices will mean no greater
hardship than low prices.

“An imaginary budget for the per
sonal expenses of the teacher, who
received 4fl,000 a year, is reproduced.
“ ‘Her room costs her $5 a week/
according to the budget. ‘It is not a
large room. The location,is near the
school, so she has no ear fare. Surely
that is not extravagant. She gets
breakfast and supper in the house for
$7 a week, and. her lunches cost her
2o cents a day. She decides to reckon
expenses by the year, allowing no ex
tra for vacation outings, which might
be classed as extravagance. Her laun
dry is 75 cents a week and. when she
washes out things in her room she
does it on the “Q. T.,“ as the boarding
house* keeper objects. Total to date,
$2(10 for rent: $456.25 for food and
$30 for laundry.
“ ‘She allows herself four letters a
week, which means $6.25 for postage.
While she lives within walking dis
tance of her school, she rides to church,
ajid three other times a week at the
least. This amounts to $20.80, and
does not provide for visits even to the
suburbs.
‘All her clothes are inexpensive—
she hesitates at the word cheap. One
veal* mwUTiyr a winter suit and the
next year a summer suit, which she
gets for $30. This year she bought a
<oat at the end of the season for $30.
She has one woolen dress for school
at $20, and one afternoon dress at
$20. For her winter hat she pays $(!,
and for her summer hat $4. Three
wash shirtwaists amount to $6, and
she Kbs one “best’* tfaist for summer
at $4. Her silk waist for winter is
5. Underclothes makes a large hole in
a $20 bill; one pair of boots are $6,
and oxfords at $4. She places pumps
out of consideration. Rubbers are $1.
‘ ‘ ‘ For the summer she gets a color
ed cotton dress at $5. one afternoon
dress at $Y, and a white skirt at $4.
She pays $3 for a petticoat with a
silk ruffle, and $1 for a satine petti
coat. She has one new white petti
coat, which costs her $2. She has great
luck about gloves, for at a sale she
buys dogskin gloves for $1.50, one pair
of white kids for $1.50 and one pair of
silk gloves for summer, for $1. Col
lars p>st her $1, and she allows $5 for
toilet articles, soap, hairpins, nets and
all other small articles, including sew
ing materials with which to- “make
over” her obi clothes to-go another
season. This makes her total for clothes
$r&6.50, with a resulting outfit which is
far from satisfactory. Compulsory
teachers’ insurance brings the total to

NEW EXCHANGE TELEPHONE RATES
EFFECTIVE MAY 1, 1919.
A new schedule of telephone exchange rates becomes
effective in Clinton May 1st., by direction of the Operat

General of the United States. . - •
As you know, all of the lines and property of this
company are in the possession, control and are being op

The new rates are necessary in order that additional
revenue may be secured by the government to meet the

greater telephone revenue necessary are due to the new

are entirely beyond the control of the United States
Telegraph, and Telephone Administration or of the Tele
phone Company.
More than two ytfirs ago the Company foresaw that
the telephone system would be operated at a loss unless
the rates could be adjusted to meet the increasing costs of
all elements entering into the production of service. A
similar rate adjustment would have been unavoidable un
der private control and the new rate schedule is practi
cally the same we would have sought in 1918 if the govern
ment had not taken possession of our property.
As stated by the Postmaster General, the owners of
the telephone system do not benefit in any way from rate
changes. Practically all of the increased operating ex
penses which require this additional revenue are due to
increased wages paid to employes to enable them to meet
the new conditions of life in the present day.
It is neither practicable nor desirable to reduce
wages, and so far as wages are concerned we believe that
portion of the increased operating expenses to be per
manent.
The new rate schedule is fair and reasonable and the
percentage of increased revenue which it will produce Ts
much lower than the increased cost of other services and
commodities of a similar character. . * ^ *
Complete detailed information about the new rates
may be obtained at the managers office. We are making
every effort to change our records promptly and your
courteous consideration will be appreciated. The new
rate for your service is shown on your statement for May
1.
