THE TAR HEEL Page Severn Educator States That Negroj New Art Show Teachers Have Doubled Almost In Past 25 Years There are almost twice as many Negro teachers, principals and supervisors in North Carolina now than there were in the early twenties, Dean A. E. Manley of North Carolina College, Durham, told the Resource-Use Education Conference here last week at its fourth annual meeting, "This increase in the number of teaching personnel reflects in creased enrollment and steady in terest on the part of the State's citizens, both white and Negro, in education," he said. The improvement of the scho larship of Negro teachers is, Dean Manley said, "one of the most significant developments in the area of teacher education. In 1921-22 the average scholarship was approximately three and a half years of high school educa tion,, while in 1949-50 the aver age was slightly higher . training than a four-year college course of study." The question of supply and de mand is discouraging, however, he pointed out. "In 1950 the nine public and private colleges that prepare elementary teachers had 457 graduates who sought ap pointments as teachers," he said. "This means that these colleges turned out 128 more teachers than were needed in the State. "The situation at the secondary level is even more distressing. Of 878 graduates in 1950, only 283 of them were needed in the secondary schools. Referring to graduate work. Dean Manley said that of approx imately 1,100 students enrolled this summer at North Carolina College, about 800 were doing work leading to the master's de gree. "I. am informed," he oaid, "that this trend is paralleled in other in-and-out of State insti tutions offering graduate and un dergraduate courses. Many of the teachers are graduates of teacher - training institutions where the emphasis presumably is on content as well as method. This emphasis is being more vig orously prosecuted at the M.A. leveKwith the result that better prepared teachers are available for the schools." Summing up his report on teacher training progress in North Carolina Negro institutions, Dean Manley said there is an over supply of elementary and high school teachers, there is need for curricula changes on the basis of changing opportunities for em ployment, for more effective gui dance and improved leadership at all levels, more opportunities should be provided Negro teach ers to participate in extension courses, particularly at the grad uate level, more cooperation needed between classes and racial groups, improvement inv general education in teacher-training in stitutions, more programs to give teachers opportunity to work with lay leaders and community groups, living quarters and equipment and buildings need improvement, and more finan cial aid for salaries, laboratories, clinics and other material neces sities.
