TEACHERS’ PAY GOES SKYWARD IN _7O_YEARS Salaries Ranged From S2OO to S7OO Annually for Educators’ Work. BY LOWELL NUSS3AUM Old-time citizens of Indianapolis would gasp with surprise if they could see the teachers’ salary schedule today. Records in the office of Frank L. Reissner, school secretary, reveal •that back in 1857 teachers’ salaries ranged from S2OO to S7OO a yean. Superintendent George B. Stone then received the munificent salary of $1,300 annually. The present superintendent. Charles F, Miller, receives a salary of $9,000, while the average salary paid grade teachers is $1,865 and high school teachers, $2,445. The present minimum for teachers is SI,OOO and the maximum $2,800. Paid for Pupils Record books for 1853 show a resolution of school trustees that ‘‘ward schools be opened as free schools beginning April 25, 1853.” Prior to that parents paid $2.25 a quarter year for each pupil. In 1862 trustees set salaries on a per diem basis. Saturdays, Sundays and holidays were not paid for. Salaries included grammar department principals. $2.50 a day; assistant principals, $1; ward principals,! $1.25 to $1.50 a day; primary and secondary teachers, sl.lO, and other assistants, 85 cents. Janitors were j paid from $1 to $2.25 a week. In 1878 high school teachers were paid from $775 a year to $1,350, and grade teachers from $420 to $950 for principals. Records show that night schools were conducted during the year, 328 pupils attending. Whipping Was Popular Corporal punishment helped 316 pupils during the year to mend their errant ways. Comparison of figures shows that it cost several times as much money now to educate pupils as it did then. The average cost'per pupil in 1877, according to the records, was $28.13 for high school and $10.63 for grade ; schools. The average’ cost for 1927 was $72.17 for grade schools and $132.48 for high schools. In 1853 ten teachers .were employed, twenty-seven in 1865, and 208 in 1887. At present there are approximately 1,750 teachers. Salaries in 1881 were lower than in 1878, ranging from S3OO to S6OO for grade teachers. The Orphans’ Home School was started in this year. Average attendance then was 9,316. Now 53,500 pupils are enrolled. Liquor Money for Schools School trustees in 1890 had a total of $252,972 to run schools for -the year. Os this sum, $30,799 was from liquor licenses. The school levy was 20 cents. In 1926 the schools expended $8,791,021, of which $3,801,067 was for teachers’ salaries. The levy this year is $1.03. Gymnasium work in schools is not new, the records for 1865 showing employment of Miss Anna McVey as teacher of gymnastics at SSOO a year.
