OPA Compares
Teachers’ Wages
Despite the war, incomes of
seachers and public school ad
ministrators in Alaska continue
to compare most creditably with
incomes of teachers in the states
judging by findings of the U. S.
Bureau of Labor Statistics for
the national figures, in compari
son with information compiled
in the 1945-46 Alaska Education
al Directory, Alaska OPA offic
ials said.
While salaries of teachers in
the states have risen 24 percent
since the war in response to an
overall cost of living rise estim
ated at 27 percent, Alaskan
teachers in 1943 began receiving
a blanket increase of 25 percent
in annual income in the face of
a cost of living rise adjudged
comparable to that in the states.
In addition, superimposed salary
schedules such as that of the
Territorial Public schools in rural
area which allow additional sal
ary sums of $50 for a Bachelor s
degree; $L00 for Master’s and
$50 for each additional year's
teaching in Alaska, actually add
substantially to teachers’ income
here, records show. At the same
! time incorporated towns of Alas
ka carry salary schedules which
are consistently higher than
these—In Juneau, for instance,
but five teachers of a listed 32
receive salaries as low as $2,350,
according to the diiectory.
In actual sums, records show
that while teachers in the states
earned an average annual income
of $1,786 in the year 1944-45 as
compared to a 1939-40 average
of $1,441, Alaskan teachers re
ceived, in accord with action of
I the Territorial legislature, mini
inutns of $2,250 in the First Di
visions; $2,475 in the Third Di
vision; and $2, 625 in the Scctnd

and Fourth Divisions, as compar
ed to previous minimum salaries
of $1,500, 51,980 and $2,100 res
pectively.
Over the nation as a whole,
the importance of price control
in upholding the buying power
of teachers’ salaries during the
most recent school year ha9 been
pointed out by James E. Mend
enhall, Washington D. C. chief
of the Educational Services
branch of OPA.
“Between the school year of
1944-45 and the school year be
fore”, Dr. Mendenhall declared,
school people received a moder
ate increase in their average sal
ary while the prices making up
their cost of living went up onl>
slightly. The average school sal
ary rose about 5.5 per cent while
the index of cost of living went
up 2.2 per cent. The result has
been to cancel out a part of the
loss in purchasing power that
teachers’ salaries have undergone
during the war peiiod. During
the past year the purchasing
power of the dollars that teach
ers were able to spend for cloth
ing, food, rents, and most other
major living costs rose slightly
above the level of the previous
school year.

OPA News
Alaskans can now send canned
salmon Outside ration free due to
a recent revocation of ration or
der 16 in the States, the local
OPA board announced today.
It will require up to 6 months
to secure owner occupancy of
any house purchased since Nov.
1942, and currently rented, unless
the owner in question is an ex
serviceman, the Alaska Rent Of
fice announced today.
This nep 6-month eviction no
tice clause has been put into ef
fect in au attempt to stabilize a
rental market so drastically af
fected by the increasine shortage
of housing.
Only in the case of an ex-ser
viceman who wishes to take over
his property for his own family
occupancy will the 6 month wait
ing period be waived.
