- W2092458942 abstract "American teachers at the present moment do not stand in such urgent need of comfort as do their fellows across the Atlantic. In Britain the economy campaign has hit the teachers very hard. Before the war it was universally admitted that they were underpaid-indeed, badly underpaid. War prices involved a very serious reduction of already inadequate salaries. To balance the rising prices, the wages of artisans went up, though wages never keep pace with the soaring cost of living. Other professional people and the civil servants gradually had their salaries raised. The teachers were the last to get attention. When their turn did come, the deciding committees took into account the fact that the pre-war salaries had been inadequate; in consequence, the increase that they recommended was made with the understanding that it need not be reduced again, even when the cost of living fell. The committees took account also of the fact that the teachers had a pension scheme paid for by the state. In consequence, the recommended increase was much less than it would have been had the teachers not enjoyed the pension, which was rightly regarded as merely deferred salary. Hardly had the new salary schemes been put into operation-in fact, before they were fully applied-when the economy cry was set up, and the teachers were invited to submit to a of 5 per cent of the new salaries. As a matter of patriotism, the teachers accepted this reduction. On top of this came a change in the pension scheme, by which, instead of receiving the full pension benefits free of charge, the teachers were called upon to contribute annually 5 per cent of their salaries. This implied a total cut of io per cent and produced a feeling of injustice and insecurity that has rather embittered the whole profession. The present is accordingly an opportune time to remind teachers on both sides of the Atlantic of some of the very serious disadvantages under which the profession formerly labored. It is good for us all to realize how much worse things might be." @default.
