The teaching profession is a
noble, charitable one, but are you
content to work in the charityf
department of your state when
they allow you no pension or pro
tection in old age? Are you
willing to go into the great broad
fields of business where you can
lay up something for a rainy
day, and provide your own pro-
tection for old age? Six thou-
sand teachers quit the profession
in Texas annually. Can you
blame them when you compare
their annual earning capacity
with that of any other class of
educated men or women? The
bookkeeper, stenographer, pri
vale secretary, or operator, as a
beginner, gets from $50.00 to
$75.00 per month, twelve months
in the year, and soon receives an
advance in salary and it is not
long if they are made of the right
kind of stuff before they are pro
moted to assistant manager, or
manager of a large business con
cern, or engage in business for
themselves and are thereby en-
abled to lay up a comfortable
living for old age. Make a com-
parison of the teacher, who after
graduating from the high school
spends from one to two years in
the State Normal and hundred*
of dollars preparing himself,
and lias been teaching five years
in the public schools, with the
bookkeeper, stenographer, or
operator who has only spent
from three to six months in ob
taining his education after gra
duating from high school, and
from one hundred to two hun-
dred dollars and has had five
years experience in the busi-
ness world, and you will fipd
that the one who has spent only
a few mouths in obtaining his
education and a small amount of
money is drawing twice the
salary of the teacher regardless
of the fact that the teacher spent
more time and money in the pre
paratiou for their life' work.
More evidence on this subject
can be had by writing the Tyler
Commercial College at, Tykr.
