Proposal Of
Canton Unit
Frowned On
A proposal made by teachers ef
the Canton unit of the North Caro
lina Education Association to "stay
out of school" in September unless
a proposed 28 per cent pay Increase
is granted has met with unfavor- .
able reaction from NCEA leaders
in other parts of Ute state.
Mrs. Lucille Allen ef Bender on
ville. chairman of the legislat'tv
committee of the North Carolina
Education Association, said thai j
the committee will offer a better
procedure than striking to gain
pay increase for North Carolina
.teachers during the NCEA conven
tion in Ashaville next week.
Mrs. A41*n said that the legisla
tive committee would submit a
proposal Which she could not yet ,
discuss because it had not been
acted on by the board of directors
O. P. Johnson of Kenansvllle.i
president of the NCEA speriuten
dents' division, had said that be
felt few teachers "would strike
against the children of North Caro
lina."
Explaining the position of the
Canton teacher*. Bill Phillip* of
Canton High School said that "un
it** something I* done to hold
superior teacher* now in the pro
fession and to attract more well
trained people into teaching, we
may face the fact in the near fu
ture there will be many classrooms 1
in North Carolina without teach
ers." '
Phillips, in speaking for the
group, asserted that Canton teach
ers were not proposing "a strike
against North Carolina school
children." He also emphasised
that the Canton proposal was not
a "go it alone" move.
He said in a statement:
"At a meeting of the Canton
unit of the NCEA held March 7.
1956. a resolution waa adopted ask
ing thgMn Increase of 25 per cent
be provided for all school person
nel, if and when the state legisla
ture meets. To this resolution
was attached an amendment that
has been both misunderstood and
misquoted.
"The spirit of this amendment
was: If an increase in some,
amount Is not provided, the teach
ers of the Canton unit of the NCEA
along with all other teachers of
North Oaroilna, would be willing
to consider staying out of the class
room next fall.
"There was no threat to strike
