COMMENTS ON

A lady of Greenville, a teacher; and
a gentlemen of Laurens took me to
task so sharply recently that they

speacLmorerior bottled ^drinks, chew- ■
ing gum, sports and candy than we
spend on religion. Or, some minis
ter might "make the point that /e |
now spend more for schools than for j
churches. That doesn’t settle the 1
question at all. The public roads
are contributing factors to every (
phase o'f our living, including the
schools” and the churches,
i We have no standard for payment
of services. A devoted, efficient |
teacher, like a good mother, is be- ,
yound all price. She or he, is worth i
more to the world than are hundreds
who receive far handsomer returns
in dollars and cents. But is all ser- 1
vice to be measured in dollars and
: cents?
While there are—many' who ore-
more adequately paid than teachers,,
there are many thousands who re
ceive less than the teachers.
I somtimes think the most appro
priate method should be to resign,
to withdraw from a position that
said t»~be-grossly--underpaid, ra-1.
ther than to join a crusade for pub- |
he recognition and reward.
No one guarantees recognition to (
a young lawyer, dentist, physician, j
engineer, merchant, insurance agent,
or other man engaging in work for a |
livelihood. Nor do these men pro-1
claim that they are martyrs. Some!
have invested years and thousands'
of dollars, only to turn to something j
else. Last year seventy thousand i
places of business closed. Those men
had staked their all and had to fold
their tens. It is sad, but I remind the
lady that the teachers are not suf
fering as the seventy thousand suf
fered.
1 As a former teacher I remind the
j lady that we have told the young
: people to hitch • their' wagon to a
stair; and we have admonished them
to remember that the world will
make a path to the place where the
best mouse-trap is made. The moral
of that is similar to the counsel from
The Mount “Let your light so shine
that men may see your good works'’
1 —not hear so much about the good
works and self-denial as proclaimed
I in a pressure campaign:—-
Men ’on the street ask themselves:
Did these folk apply for the posi-
4 lions? Did they know the amount
paid? Then why ail this campaign?
Is it not true that trustees wish to
retain those whose work is good?
Hasn’t it always been true?
I go back to my original position:
there are underpaid teachers. We
might well make special provision
for special service. And we could do
it. Those teachers of proved ability
are held down because those of less 1
capability are being given equal re- ,
ward. Indeed, if some authority 1
could revise our educational budget
within the same Total available we •
might lop off some dead limbs and'
; less useful services and place our'
emphasis where it belongs; on real 1
teaching, on efficient leadership and ■
direction of young minds and spirits, i
I thank the lady for her letter;!
it was nice of her to write me; and:
I believe the fervent espousal of the!
cause indicates that she is one of!
those choice, consecrated spirits who!
are am honor to the profession and
to the making of a better world.
As to my friend of Laurens, Mr.
M. Frank M. Reid, Jr., who reproach-
.es me for my criticism of the Coun
cil of churches: It seems to me that|
my critic almost speaks for me when j
he remarks that “after three weeks, j
no letter of explanation of the real
nature and work of the Federal
Council has come from those church
es of this city who are associated
with it”. My appreciated critic is
not the only one in Laurens who
“attempts to live his life within the
Christian tradition”; there are many
such in Laurens antf many who are
capable of writing strong letters.
Furthermore, if Spectator had done
violence to their sense of right they
would quickly have brought him to
look.
Mr. Reid writes in good spirit and
I answer him in the same tolerance
than in the time of Jesus that thei»
student of affairs marvels at what k
has been accomplished by Christian !
influence, just the pervasive force' k
of brotherly love. 1 H
