Abstract
THE Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching was instituted for the betterment of the calling of the teacher in the United States, the Dominion of Canada, and Newfoundland. Its first purpose has been to establish an efficient system of retiring pensions for professors in the higher centres of learning. Up to May, 1908, sixty colleges and universities had been admitted to the benefits of its retiring allowance system, and one hundred and six professors and eighteen widows of professors are already receiving allowances amounting in the aggregate to more than 37,000.
