Women Workers in Seven Professions: A Survey of Their Economic Conditions and Prospects
Vocational guidance; Women -- Employment -- Great Britain
An examination of statistics with regard to the salaries of teachers
in England, taken from the same returns, year 1910-11, shows that--
I. Average salaries (Elementary Schools) were:--
£ s. d.
Head Teachers (Certificated) Men 176 3 11
" " " Women 122 18 1
" " (uncertificated) Men 94 8 0
" " " Women 68 3 5
Assistant Teachers (certificated) Men 127 9 11
" " " Women 92 8 6
" " (uncertificated) Men 65 2 11
" " " Women 54 14 1
II. (1) 67.93 per cent. of the certificated head masters receive less
than £200 per annum.
(2) 93.9 per cent. of the certificated head mistresses receive less
than £200 per annum.
(3) 93.38 per cent. of the certificated assistant masters receive less
than £200 per annum.
(4) 97.73 per cent. of the certificated assistant mistresses receive
less than £150 per annum.
III. The salaries of certificated teachers (England) were:--
Head Teachers. Assistant Teachers.
Men. Women. Men. Women.
Under £50 1 2 2 352
Totals £50 and under £100 394 4,967 3,838 29,915
" 100 " " 150 4,506 8,032 9,933 15,548
" 150 " " 200 3,575 2,631 3,651 1,065
" 200 " " 250 2,395 742 1,235 1
" 250 " " 300 963 209 ---- ----
" 300 " " 350 422 65 ---- ----
" 350 " " 400 125 ---- ---- ----
" 400 " " 450 93 ---- ---- ----
" 450 " " 500 2 ---- ---- ----
" 560 1 ---- ---- ----
IV. The salaries of uncertificated teachers are usually lower than the
wage of a skilled artisan--the average for men _head_ teachers being
below £100, and for women _head_ teachers below £70, whilst 7,855
assistant teachers receive less than £50.
V. Supplementary teachers usually receive, of course without board
or lodging, a salary equal to the money-wage of an average domestic
servant. They are commonly less well qualified than is she, for the
work undertaken.
The chances of promotion to a headship are obviously so few, that the
certificated teacher will probably remain an assistant all her life.
Chances of head-teacherships are being still further reduced by the
amalgamation of departments under a head _master_.
