Since 61 women who have had two years receive $2500 and over, and only 18 women who have had only one year receive that much, it would seem that the second year does carry some weight. This does not seem true in the case of the men, but the discrepancy probably lies in the small number of one year men reporting. The general conclusion in regard to men is that the average man will receive more than the average woman of the same degree of training. In Table No. 2 the fact that the salary of the Assistant Librarian and Department Head seems to equal the salary of the Librarian is accounted for by the fact that these positions are found only in large libraries, whereas the salary for the Librarian in the small library lowers the average for that position. In spite of the fact that Cataloging is supposed to be unpopular, catalogers and classifiers number seventythree and these positions show a gratifying increase in salary over 1923. While only fourteen are listed as Instructors, many combine that duty with a regular library position, but under this heading only people devoting their full time to teaching were counted. High School and school librarians show the largest increase in numbers over any other group. twenty-six reporting in 1923 and forty-eight in 1927. [S]
