It is imperative that we give-our Children a. better educa tion than ever before. " We must realize that we are in the midst of a super-emergency -an atomic age, the greatest revolu tion of thought the world has ever known, and emergency measures mustbe employed., Yet intellectual sleeping seems to be our favorite pastime, both state and national. : Society will reap the harvest from the seed we are now sowing - what will the harvest be? What will be the destiny of .your boy, your girl, in terms of the act we are' about to perform? Don't be deceived, no school la better than its teachers. "It is estimated that one out of every six children will be the victim of an incompetent teacher. This then, is where the greatest harm is done. The child is the victim." If this is a true pic ture of conditions in our state, now is the time for real action. . This crisis in teaching is not just a problem for the educators but it is the deep concern of all the people throughout North Caro lina and the. United States as well. ' It is quite clear that the crisis in teaching is really not a war phenomenon. With months of peace the teaching situation Is steadily growing .worse. All children are potential sufferers. The - conse quences of what has been happen ing to these children are already seen in rising Juvenile delinquency. Saving the nation from the cost of s feneration of ill prepared citizens cannot be postponed.

"... '--;. .V r"""Vri . --- perr-a - , f ' T r j of North Carolina must find ways to make teaching attractive to those best fitted to guide the growth of the youth today. To do this they must spend money on education. Decent salaries and good working conditions are es sential if teaching is to attract outstanding men and women in adequate, numbers. The ideal of equal educational opportunity la still very far from realization in our country.' We the people of the United States - the richest nation in the world, the nation that has longest been com mitted to the democratic idea of free public education need to fully understand that thousands of American schools are pitifully under-supported and hundreds of thousands of 'American teachers wretchedly underpaid. Do you know that: Great Britain under her new edu cational program haa doubled her expenditures for education, and that she spends 6 of her annual income for education while the United States spends less than 2 of her income when the N. E. A recommends that she spend at least 5? : Do you know that Rus sia as bankrupt as she is' spends fro 6 to 8 of her income for edu cation? ::;v:rf "; ! In 1943-44 North Carolina spent less than 2 of her Income for edu cation. In 1031-32 she spent 5.1 of her income for schools. "It seems to be true, that sa we become more prosperous, the proportion for schools haa decreased'' - A shortage of competent teach ers, rising to new heights during war, but now unrelieved by peace, is denying our boys and girls the quality of teaching they need and have every right to receive. It la producing a generation of inade quately equipped to meet the chal-: lenges of an uncertain future. The time for action is now. Money already In the surplus mil ions must be used to raise teachers salaries to decent levels, and to provide them with better leaisr ' There seems to be a. growing sentiment in practically every com- i munity in the county for a liquor vote.
