California Teachers’ Pensions

By Editor

The California Senate has passed a bill to pension teachers sixty years of age who have served as teacher or superintendent for thirty years, twenty at least of which have been in California; and to those who have served at least thirty-five years, counted from the age of twenty forward, thirty of which must have been in public schools of California. Those in the first class to receive a retirement salary; those in the second, a pension. Josh Billings thought that one who had taught district school for twenty years ought to have a "penshun for the rest of his life and a horse and waggin to do his goin' around in." Our State legislatures are not quite so liberal.
