PAOE TWO EVERy CUP Of COCOi. is a CUP OF FOOD Schoolteachers' Salaries . . . THE DAILY NEWS PRINCE RUPERT. BRITISH COLUMBIA Published Every Afternoon Except Sunday by Prince Rupert Daily News Limited, Third Avenue G. A. HUNTER, MANAGING EDITOR MEMBER OF THE CANADIAN PRESS The Canadian Press is exclusively entitled to use for publication of all news despatches credited to it or to the Associated Press in this DaDer and also the local news published therein. The Financial Post discovers that there are 17,-492 school teachers jn Canada receiving salaries of less than $537 a year. The Post also finds that the average cost of keeping a.prisoner in jail is $536.55 a year. So if we put all these 17,492 schools teachers in jail it would cost the country practically the same amount of money as to maintain them in their teaching jobs except possibly the extra cost of enlarging the jails. This is a situation that constitutes a national disgrace. How any school teacher can exist on such a small salary is a deep mystery. Why they should be compelled to even try, when they are admittedly performing one of the very most important public services, is something that no reasonable person can understand. Education is a deterrent to crime. If we can nav $536.55 to keep a man in jail, surely we can afford to pay teachers more than a like amount to help keep men out of jail. Guelph Mercury.
