Information was obtained through personal vis its in each of the state's 100 coun ties; 90,000 questionnaires to citiz ens; queries to school officials; and extensive examination of state rec ords. An estimated 60.000 persons par ticipated in the study. A staff of consultants from other states and the U. S. Office of Education ad vised and worked with the Commis sion and its Study and Advisory committees. The study was financed by a leg islative appropriation of $.r0.000 and an additional $100,000 from the Knapp Foundation of New York. Foundation Program In its 115 page report, the Com mission said that the state should be responsible for a "foundation program" which would insure every child in North Carolina a good education. State funds should be used for every essential element in the program, it said, including in structional salaries, transportation, and other current expenses, and capital outlay and debt service, Willi the state bearing from 70 to 90 per cent of the cost the ratio to be decided by the legislature. The amount required would be determ ined by need (based on teacher al lotment i and ability to pay. I'art of this program would be school building. "A school plant financing plan should be developed to provide at least $100,000,000 dur ing the next 6 years for the most urgently needed facilities and as much as practical and needed for this urgent six-year program should be provided from state surplus funds," the report said. Teaohers' Pay The Commission recommended several methods of luring qualified teachers to the Tar Heel schools to help solve the current shortage. It endorsed a minimum salary of $2400 for beginning teachers, with $100 to be added for each year of experience up to 12 years, and said teachers should be employed on a ten months basis. It also recom mended that the teaching load be reduced, that a system of compet itive scholarships for persons pre paring to teach should be set up. and that guidance programs and other means of securing well pre pared teachers be established. The Commission said that the ad ministrative set-up of the public schools should be reorganized on both the state and local levels. It recommended that the State Super intendent of Public Instruction be appointed by the State Board of Kducation, und that he act as execu tive officer of the Hoard. Recommendations concerning lo cal boards of education included: local hoards should be elected for overlapping terms of 0 years: pro vision should be made for local boards to have "some reasonable leeway" in using tax funds. Uifch School Goals Kor the high schools, these in structional goals were set: oppor tunities for an assistance in the Jlean Economical Heat finter With One of Our ationally Famous ORGE FUEL OIL Heaters (i y ther BS $3.2495 70,000 B.T.U ffi $3.3495 SMALL DOWN PAYMENT Balance Easy Terms The Oil Shortage Is Over!

Although they know thin, leaders of 16 rail road unions are demanding a five-day, Mon day through Friday, week for one million railroad employet. They want 48 hours pay for 40 hours work !n itself a 20 wage increase. They also demand a minimum of 12 hours pay for any work performed on Saturdays, and 16 hours pay for any work performed on Sundays and holidays. On top of all this they want an additional increase of 25c an hour for every employe! You'd Pay the Bill! Summing up these demands, they mean that thou nnmn lenders seek to force the railroads to give one million employet an annual ratal i Which would average $1500 per employe! Th tifjil cost of this would be no less than IX billion dollars per year, which is more than twice the expected net income of the nuU-Mids this year. You'd pay the bill, because if these In- ' juwi ceeta axe forced on the railroads, they must have still further rate nd fara increases. " Demands Unreasonable These employes have had substantial raises during and since the war. Their average week ly earnings are higher than the average weekly earnings of workers in manufacturing indus tries. They have more job security than the average worker in American industry. They also enjoy paid vacations, a retirement sys tem and other advantages more generous than the average worker receives. In contrast with llie demands of these 1 onions, which add op to the equivalent of 48c an hnr ih t'onduclors and Trainmen recently settled their wage request for an hi crease of 10c an hour, ' Railroads Run for Everybody Not Employes Alone The railroad industry must serve not one but many groups producers, businessmen, ship pers, passengers and the general public night and day, every day of the year. These unions are proceeding in utter disregard of this important difference between railroads and other industries. Industrial plants can be shut down oer weekends and holidays, but freight, mail, express and passengers must continue to move. Eivrybody who enters rail road employment knows this. Strike Threat On September 18, 1948, the leaders of these 16 unions began taking a strike vote. Bur the threat of a strike will not alter the opposition of the railroads to such unreasonable dvmandal We are publishing this and other advertisements to talk with you at first haad about matters which are important to ovirybody. , i II A.I
