[ 69 ] FOREWORD This issue of the Research Bulletin adds another to the important series of studies , on teachers’ salaries published by the National Education Association. These studies i] have developed fundamental principles of salary scheduling which are now widel\ pag accepted. They have presented the factual material concerning the payment of salaries will i which is essential to intelligent procedure. The Association is proud to have led in lati 4 a movement which has lifted school practice as it concerns salary scheduling from a j a I hit-or-miss to a scientific level. wt 1} . . . . . . . - - This number of the Bulletin is limited to a summarization of the results of the Association’s recent study of the salary situation in city school systems in 1926-27. The tables are so arranged that one may quickly ascertain the minimum, median and 3 scho ae maximum salaries paid school employees of all types in cities of all population groups. For those who require salary data for individual cities, and in greater detail than it , , . , 4 grou was practical to present in printed form, Special Salary Tabulations have been pre if pared. This Bulletin and the Special Salary Tabulations present the most complete palm cegen am * and exact collection of comparable and current salary data for city schools which have | | yet been made available. The May issue of the Research Bulletin now in preparation will be entitled The Scheduling of Teachers’ Salaries. This Bulletin will bring together in succinct form : | additional material needed in the drafting or revising of salary schedules. These two Bulletins will place immediately at hand, in usable form, a carefully selected bod of current data bearing upon the scheduling of teachers’ salaries. They will summarize a or refer to other studies pertinent to this field which have appeared in recent years. The careful study of the March and May issues of the Research Bulletin is recom- mended to all those concerned with the problems of salary scheduling. These studies / should do much to advance the movement looking toward “better salaries for bette: teachers.” J. W. Crastreer, Secretary, National Education Association. [70] I.

Complete distributions of salaries and median salaries by states are given for nurses, clerks, janitors and attendance officers. Maxi- mum and minimum salaries are not reported in this Bulletin for these employees since a considerable percent of cities have not placed them on a specific schedule, or did not report the schedule if one existed. ‘The approximate levels of beginning and maximum salaries for these school employees may be estimated by inspecting the distributions of salaries paid. For example, consult Table 10 for cities over 100,000 in population. Column 2 of this table shows that approximately 12 percent of the nurses in cities of this size are receiving salaries of less than $1200, while app: mately eight percent have reached salarie $2000 or more. Salary Data for Individual Cities The cost involved precluded the possibil;; of issuing a printed report giving salary dat, for individual cities. It was found possi)! however, to reproduce photographically the typewritten tabulation sheets giving informa. tion for individual cities. ‘These sheets have been arranged in sets entitled, Special Saler, Tabulations. "Two sets of tabulations available for each of the five population groups indicated above, one for teachers, principals and certain other school employees, and one for administrative and supervisory officers— ten sets of tabulations in all.

It is interesting to study the figures of Tables 1 and 5 in the light of the fact that the average income of the 44,600,000 gain- fully occupied persons in the United States in 1926 was $2010. The cost and the standard of living in the large cities of the country are appreciably higher than in the typical com- munity. To qualify for the positions repre- sented in Tables 1 and 5 one must undergo a period of specialized, professional training of * See page 3 of: News Bulletin, No. 2. 3, February 21 24th St., New York City. ’ 4 / 1927, trom two to five years beyond high school graduation. } The people in these positions cer- tainly should have something more than aver age ability. In the light of these facts it is interesting to note that approximately 40 percent of the Table 1 lower than $2,010, the average income of al! teachers listed in paid salaries are gainfully occupied persons in the United States in 1926.

See blank form used in collecting data, reproduced on page 124 and following, for further information as to what principals are included in each class In 1926, 44,600,000 gainfully occupied per sons in the United States enjoyed an average income of $2010. None of the groups of Table 20 enjoy a median salary which ap- proaches this national average. It does not appear that any of the employees listed in Table 20 are overpaid when their incomes are compared with those enoyed by the nation as a whole. The opposite is probably the case. [85] Progressive school systems are more and more recognizing the importance of requiring careful training for such groups as school nurses and attendance officers. Table 20 in- dicates, however, that in cities from 30,000 to 100,000 in population, the median salary paid school nurses is but 78 percent, and the median salary paid attendance officers, is but 88 per- cent of the average income of gainfully oc- cupied people in the United States. Those employed as school janitors should have train- ing and ability at least up to the average of the population in general. The median salary of janitors in cities from 30,000 to 100,000 in population, however, is but 72 percent of the average income of gainfully occupied per- sons. Table 16 lists a total of 1703 school p: cipals of the following types; supervising ¢|- mentary, junior high and senior high. ‘T's! 20 lists but 843 clerks in principals’ off This indicates that less than half of the pri, cipals have full time clerical assistants. | dently many cities from 30,000 to 100,000 population are making the mistake of placi: a professionally trained officer in charge their schools and then providing him wi: such inadequate clerical assistance that a lary part of his time must necessarily be taken with clerical duties of a nature which could performed as effectively by a person paid much lower salary.

For example, the minimum for supervising elementary school principals, according to column 3, is bettween $1300 and $1399 in two cities and is between $2600 and $2699 in one city; the median minimum being $1825.

It does not appear that any of the employees listed in table 40 are overpaid when their incomes are compared with those received by the nation as a whole. The opposite is probably the case. Progressive school systems are more and more recognizing the importance of requiring careful training for such groups as school nurses and attendance officers. Table 40 in- dicates, however, that in cities from 5,000 to 10,000 in population, the median salary paid school nurses is but 79 percent of the average income of the gainfully occupied people of the United States. in many cities of this size are evidently part- The school attedance officers time employees and the functien which they exercise is doubtless a side issue to their regu- TABLE 40.—DISTRIBUTION OF SALARIES PAID OTHER SCHOOL lar work. ‘[hose employed as school janitors should have training and ability at least up to the average of the population in general.

Salaries Paid School Administrative and Supervising Officers, 1926-27 The tables of this section present data as to the salaries paid full time administrative and supervisory officers connected with the central offices of 1,435 city school systems. Two tables are given for each of the five popu- lation groups. These tables present distribu- tions of salaries paid the groups of school officers indicated in the form reproduced on page 126. The cost involved precluded the possibility of issuing a printed report giving the salaries of these officers by individual cities. Such tabulations are available, however, and may be obtained under the conditions given on page 72. Interpretation of Tables A study of the form used in collecting the data summarized in these tables will aid in their interpretation. The footnotes given at the foot of each table should be read carefully. The Special Salary Tabulations for adminis- trative and supervisory officers described page 72 should be obtained by those w! need something more than the summarization, presented subsequently. In studying the subsequent tables, it should be kept in mind that city organization f, school administration and supervision varies widely. A superficial examination of the fo lowing tables might lead one to infer that on), a small percentage of cities provides for the di rection of a particular function when such not the case. For example, the columns headed “Assistant or Associate Superintendents,”’ se table 54, columns 3 and 4, refer to officers exercising a wide range of functions.

In preparing the subsequent tables it was the practice to tabulate the officer under the title In some cities a Director of Health may be in charge of the work of both Health and Physical Education. If he and his as- sistants were reported on line 12 of the report form, his salary and those of his assistants tabulated in headed “Health,” for example, see table 55, columns reported. were the columns 24 and 25. None of these salaries were tabu- lated in columns 25 and 26, headed ‘Physical Education.” In some cases salaries were probably reported on lines 26 and following of the report form, which should have been listed with some of the groups named on lines 1 to 25. These salaries are listed under the heading ‘‘Mis- cellaneous” in the tables. In short, much caution should be observed in using the following tables as indicators of whether the administration or supervision of a particular function is provided for in the cities It may be exercised by officers whose salaries are tabu- of a particular population group. lated in columns under a heading other than the one being considered. The two tables given for each population group may be accepted as reasonably reliable pictures of the level and range of salaries paid administrative officers in the cities reporting. Salaries in Cities Over 100,000 in Population Table 52 presents distributions of salarie. paid certain administrative officers and the), assistants in cities over 100,000 in population The total number of officers reported in each) group and the median salary are given at the foot of each column. Table 53 gives similar data for directors and supervisors and their assistants. Salaries for a total of 2,235 officers were re ported by the 59 cities replying, according t) Tables 52 and 53. It is possible that salaric. for some officers were not reported, althoug) the blank called for the listing of the salaries paid all full time administrative and super- visory officers. Salaries in Cities 30,000 to 100,000 in Population Table 54 presents distributions of salaries paid certain administrative officers and their assistants in cities 30,000 to 100,000 in popu- lation. The total! number of officers reported in each group and the median salary are given at the foot of each column. Table 55 gives similar data for directors and supervisors and their assistants. Salaries for a total of 2,420 officers were reported by the 147 cities replying, according to Tables 54 and 55. It is possible that sa! aries for some officers were not reported al though the blank called for the listing of the salaries paid all full-time administrative and supervisory officers. (Continued on p. 118 G. Sargeant. HEN IT IS stated that “salaries should be fixed at such a figure as will encourage peopie now in the service as well as prospective candidates to a high degree of professional prep- aration,” there is given only part of the premise necessary for a complete foundation upon which may be built salary schedules that will give the commonwealth the ability, the training, and permanency in its teaching, supervisory, and administrative corps imperatively demanded if our schools are to function satisfactorily in the numerous and complicated activities of the twentieth century. The salaries for educational positions must be made competitively attractive in comparison with the other most desirable and remunerative occupations of mankind.—Ide [ 112] IN TABLE 54.—DISTRIBUTION OF SALARIES PAID ADMINISTRATIVE AND ASSISTANT ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICERS 147 CITIES 30,000 TO 100,000 IN POPULATION, IN 1926-1927 LT ft i 80} ULY} Joy si20uj ATPeIISTUIUIT } iI s } i 8 {3 JO S199uy TU mt oe iki ” sia F . y AIST ut l 1Z ut are In| UT 10] § J 1 [UNIS ‘“EzZP‘O¢ SI UOFe[NdOd UI OOO'DGT 93 OOO'OE S2MP Ul Ssfooyds jo sjuapuajzuLedns pred iJ 2 ‘666'6$ 00s'6$ U [ ‘1a 000'OT$ JO Sele [eS DATOO01 F ‘PezIOdel 3JaM REP YOIYM JO} UOT} lod UI 00000! ©3 OO0'OE Set Ul ST uLIGdNS SFI JO INO ‘SMOTO} SE 2] ¥69'°7$ OO€ I$ | 9E0'Z$ | OOW'ZH | L990'°7$ | ELH IS | OSH IS | OBL IS | COE ZS | 0OO'ES 009 €$ | OSE ZF | BEO' ZH | OOF’ ES | OLO'FS | BZP'OS a UsIpe Ww Z78L L zs 9 8Z rae! st ozT 8 06 Z Ss s €8 9 oF StI Te}0L og Z ¢ I f 9 tI “"000'T$ MOPPeg | gt I 9 £ 9 Zz **661'T -O00°T | ze f t £1 f & I | 1 66£°T -007'T zs I I Z al 9 tz I | ¥ T 66ST -O00F'T 9¢ Z I I 9 ¢ 0z Z I 66L'T -009'I ss 6 I st £7 T Ss I 6661 -008'T SS € I | 02 ZI Z l I 9 Z 661°C 000'2 87 Z I i Ss Ol l Zz 66f 72 Tar £9 iT I S t s 3 et Ss r tT * 668 7 oov ¢ f p- pxtog 2 bd Boffo BF fetid | ‘8 r2 ©. eset “sare Zi I Z t t 266 7 d 9S 9 I € 9 t 91 OT & I t 661'€ -000'¢ 6l ¢ Z t S € . «+g . 66£'€ -007'E SI L Z ¢ | ¢€ | 66S -O0F'e | £7 Z re. t . 2 . +. 3 ts “**"66L' -009'E | 6 I if l Lf 1 £ Lf “"""666'€ -O008'E | Li 1 S S £ I | OT | 4 ‘**"661'b -000'F i t I ort.

Similarly read figures for other groups vo! officers. The figures given in column 11 are the sums of columns 2 to 10, inclusive. The medians given in this table are figured according to the method described on page 74. The blank form used in collecting these data is reproduced on page 124 and following. In some cases an officer whose salary is tabulated in a particular column also has to do with the administration of more functions than the one listed in the heading under which his salary is tabulated. It is impractical to include the footnotes necessary to designate such combinations of functions. Detailed annotations covering such combinations of administrative authority in one official are given in the Special Salar) Tabulations which may be purchased from the Research Division, National Education Association. ! The salaries listed in column 2 are the salaries paid the chief administrative officer of the school system no matter what his title is. In many cities of this size this officer is designated as a supervising principal rather than as a superin- tendent of schools. * Salaries reported paid assistant administrative officers. The officers listed in column 11 are the assistants of the various chief administrative officers listed in columns 2 to 10.
