INTRODUCTION. 
 
 On September 24, 1919, the Superintendent of Schools, 
 Frank V. Thompson, addressed a communication to 
 superintendents of certain cities of the United States 
 asking (a) that each superintendent verify certain 
 information on salaries as they existed in 1917; such 
 information was sent him in tabulated form; (6) that 
 he furnish corresponding information for his city of 
 September, 1919; (c) that he indicate what salary 
 changes were contemplated to take effect on, or after 
 January, 1920; (d) that he indicate how many increases 
 had been put into effect since 1917, what state legisla- 
 tion had been passed affecting salaries, and the tax rate 
 for all municipal and school purposes. 
 
 On October 2, 1919, a similar communication was 
 sent to superintendents in Massachusetts. 
 
 Requests were sent to superintendents in the following 
 cities in the United States of 200,000 population or over. 
 The cross (X) following the name of the city indicates 
 that the city furnished the information which is pre- 
 sented in Part I of this report:

 EXPLANATION OF TERMS. 
 
 In the elementary school four ranks of teachers only, 
 kindergartner, assistant, rank next to principal, and 
 principal, were considered; and in the high school three 
 ranks, assistant, rank next to principal, and principal. 
 
 The assistant is always the regular teacher, without 
 executive or administrative duties. 
 
 The rank next to principal includes the teacher who. 
 in addition to his teaching, has some executive or admin- 
 istrative duties. He or she is variously called submaster, 
 master 's assistant, assistant principal, head assistant, 
 supervising assistant, vice principal, and in high school 
 may be head of a department. 
 
 The principal includes the person wjio is directly in 
 charge of the administrative and executive work of the 
 school. He or she may or may not do some teaching. 
 
 EXPLANATION OF TABLES. 
 
 The salaries of each of the foregoing ranks of teachers 
 are tabulated in five different tables. (1) A basic 
 
SALARIES OF PUBLIC SCHOOL TEACHERS. 9 
 
 table giving the minimum, annual increase and maxi- 
 mum. (2) A table showing the minimum salaries 
 only. (3) A table showing the maximum salaries only. 
 (4) A table showing the increases in the minimum of 
 the 'salary of September, 1919, over the salary of 
 September, 1917. (5) A table showing the increase 
 in the maximum of the salary of September, 1919, 
 over September, 1917. 
 
 In those tables giving minimum, annual increase, 
 and maximum salaries when the annual increase is not 
 regular, the amount of increase is given together with 
 the number of years in which such increase is given. 
 Where it is not possible to determine the number of 
 years, the lowest and highest increase is given. 
 
 In tables where the salary of men and women are 
 both indicated the word "same" is used to indicate 
 equal pay for both sexes. Where the schedule gave 
 no information concerning sex the same salary for women 
 is indicated as for men. The words "no data" are used 
 to indicate that nothing is said in regard to the salary 
 in question. If the returns gave no data for the rank 
 such city is left out of the table. 
 
 Tables 11 to 15, 26 to 30, 46 to 50, and 61 to 65 deal 
 with the rank next to principal. These tables are some- 
 what unsatisfactory, because, first, the name of this rank 
 varies greatly in different cities; and, second, such a 
 rank does not exist in some cities. 
 
 In Tables 7, 8, 42, and 43 the words in parentheses 
 "seven years," "four years/' etc., indicate the number 
 of years necessary to reach the maximum salary. 
 
 In all summaries showing minimum salaries the 
 highest minimum is determined by taking the largest 
 amount paid as an initial salary. The lowest minimum 
 is the lowest amount paid as an initial salary. The 
 "average" is found by adding all the salaries given in 
 the table and dividing by the total number of salaries 
 recorded. 
 
 In all summaries showing the highest maximum, the 
 largest maximum paid in any city is taken. 
 
10 SCHOOL DOCUMENT NO. 19. 
 
 EXPLANATION OF COMPARISONS OF BOSTON. 
 
 At the close of all tables of minimum or maximum 
 salaries, and all tables showing increases, a statement 
 shows the relative position of Boston in relation to the 
 cities from which returns were received. Such rankings 
 are made as far as possible with conditions which are 
 similar to those that exist in Boston. 
 
 In tables of kindergarten teachers the comparison of 
 Boston is always made on the basis of the one session 
 or half day schedule. In Tables 2, 3, 37, and 38, kinder- 
 garten teachers, Boston's rank for first assistant is 
 determined by comparison with the higher paid kinder- 
 gartner when two grades are given. When only one 
 salary is given it is considered as applying to both grades. 
 
 Whenever Boston's rank is indicated as " third or 
 fourth" it means that some other city pays the same 
 salary as is being paid in Boston. 
 
 PROPOSED INCREASES TO TAKE EFFECT AFTER 
 
 JANUARY, 1920. * 
 
 Only five cities (Buffalo, Indianapolis, Milwaukee, 
 New York, and Portland, Ore.) indicated that changes 
 in the salary schedule have already been made to take 
 effect in January, 1920. These changes are indicated 
 in footnotes attached to Tables 1, 6, 11, 16, 21, 26, 
 31, and 36.
