It is apparent (Table III) that the monthly and yearly salaries peid
to schesl employees are higher in western than in eastern Kansas. This is
true in all but three of the fourteen comparisons shown im Table III.
Elementary and high school principals in cities of first and seccnd class
(items 5 and 9) receive higher average salaries in castern Kansas. The
average selary of elementary teachers in schosls of cities of the first
end second class (item 3) is the same in the two ateas. Four cities of
the first class were included in tabulations fer the eastern end none for
the western area, but actuslly three of these four cities are quite
comparable with some of the cities sf second class. The number of months
on which these monthly sararies are based is the same for each item as in
Tables [, Il, and 1V.
