Theres a tendency, perhaps admirable, to let controversial questions of all kinds in public affairs lie like sleeping dogs, just to let things quiet down and blow over. John Phillips opened up the teacher benefit payment question with his resignation from the- school board. Its a controversial question. Some teachers wrho dont receive it are for it, at least one who does get the benefit is opposed to it. Discounting beneficiary teachers (who are, nevertheless, taxpayers), it seems to us weve heard from a than few more who oppose the benefits favor it. But like Arch says, it's hard to take sides. issue. If It isnt a clear-cit were, of course everyone would be for the white and against the black. . Opponents of the benefit payments argue, first and foremost, that it is illegal, that the board has no right to disburse public money in this manner. It is contrary to the principle of equal pay for equal work. They go on to argue that it leads to resentments, jealousies, and chiseling, that some teachers comply with the word without complying with the spirit of the regulations covering the payments. They claim, as John Phillips did in his letter of resignation, that a mans wife and children are his own financial responsibility, that being a parent and presumably a greater asset to the community is not a thing that should be considered in his salary as a school teacher. They point out that the social benefit payment schedule was adopted when minimum teacher salaries in this district were as low as $600, and the average pay of all teachers in the district was under $100 a month. Maybe a married man teacher did need a little something extra to support his wife and kids in those days, they agree, but now the districts wages are two and ut black-and-whi- te one-thi- rd ' J V' ffiMHturfl Smith Girl limes what they were in 1910, when the schedule was adopted, and there arent any school teacher hardship cases. Weve heard other arguments on that side. Those are only a few. They sound dont logical, they? They do, but no more logical than the arguments advanced by those in favor of the social benefit payments. The "pro arguments, favoring the social benefit payments, are that by and large a married teacher with a family is likely to spend more of his salary in the county, own more property and pay more taxes that the school district, as a taxing body, has a better chance at recovering a larger part of his salary. idlioiiaJU The More You Study It . . . Were indebted to Arch Sims, an a They cite an example of one ward that assessed one unmarried woman teacher $10 for the building fund. A married teacher living in the same ward, drawing the same salary except for the social benefit payment, was assessed $150. The unmarried teacher refused to pay; the married teacher paid his assessment. social benefit payments lift salary schedules in this district to a comparable level with other districts in the state; that if the payments were discontinued, wed lose some of our best teachers to other districts. It is argued that the school board has entered into a contract with the teachers to pay the social benefits this year, and that failure to do so would be defaulting on their They said that only the contracts.

And so the arguments go on and on. We havent heard of anyone swinging from one side to the other. Whats to be done about it? YVgll, everyone can just keep on arguing, developing hard feelings and resentment here and there, until the thing wears itself out and blows over. Or someone could bring the matter into court and decide actually whether or not such payments are legal. The school board and the teachers themselves should welcome such a test. If the school board is expending money in such a manner that technically is contrary to law, they certainly should be eager to know about it, for their own protection if for no other reason.
