Excerpt from The Economic Aspect of Teachers' Salaries With the conviction that the work of the public school teacher in this country is not sufficiently appreciated, and that his remuneration is far from commensurate with his high call ing, I have undertaken a study of the Economic Aspect of Teachers' Salaries: their economic basis, their comparison with the incomes of workingmen and of European teachers, and finally, why they are low, with suggestions for improve ment. The amount of the public school revenues in a given year acts as a limit to the amount of the teacher's salary. Because of this vital relationship I have supplemented the study by a section on Public School Maintenance.

Economics of Education: A Selected Annotated Bibliography is an annotated bibliography of the economics of education. The criterion of selection is a simple one: whether the country or area study contributes to fundamental generalization about the economic aspects or economic role of education. The literature on developed countries is distinguished from that dealing with the developing nations. Comprised of 12 chapters, this volume begins with a list of topics for developed countries, including the economics and politics of education; educational planning; manpower forecasting; and social mobility and reserves of talent. The same topics are addressed in the second part for developing countries. The bibliography covers topics ranging from the theory of economic growth and the role of education in social change to the problems of labor and management in economic growth; the role of education in social and economic development; the economics of public education; and the economics of human resources. This book will be of interest to economists and educators.

The authors use a systematic analysis to examine the key issues of teacher's pay.

This book brings together a collection of essays in honour of Peter Groenewegen, one of the most distinguished historians of economic thought. His work on a wide range of economic theorists approaches a level of near insuperability.
