  — 
  This 
  bulletin 
  deals 
  with 
  

   pensions 
  for 
  public 
  school 
  teachers, 
  a 
  subject 
  to 
  which 
  the 
  Foun- 
  

   dation 
  has 
  given 
  close 
  study 
  for 
  a 
  number 
  of 
  years. 
  It 
  shows 
  

   that 
  the 
  great 
  majority 
  of 
  the 
  systems 
  in 
  use 
  are 
  socially 
  unjust 
  

   and 
  financially 
  unsound. 
  It 
  is 
  gratifying 
  to 
  learn, 
  however, 
  

   that 
  reforms 
  are 
  being 
  instituted, 
  conspicuously 
  in 
  Massachu- 
  

   setts, 
  New 
  York 
  City, 
  Illinois, 
  and 
  Pennsylvania. 
  There 
  is 
  also 
  

   presented, 
  as 
  an 
  improvement 
  upon 
  any 
  pensions 
  for 
  teachers 
  

   now 
  in 
  existence, 
  a 
  suggested 
  system 
  of 
  retiring 
  allowances 
  for 
  

   teachers 
  in 
  the 
  State 
  of 
  Vermont, 
  based 
  upon 
  the 
  most 
  complete 
  

   actuarial 
  and 
  financial 
  data 
  ever 
  collected 
  for 
  such 
  a 
  purpose.
