Business World Comments
On Value of Our Teachers
By Mr*. Margaret Arrington,
Mr*. Sarak Dudley, Beaufort
Facolty Menken
Became they realise the import
ance of the teacher in our way of
life, many industrial and business
concerns are beginning to make ef
forta to boost the teacher's poaition.
Recently a pamphlet entitled "Our
Teachers ? Their Importance to
Our Children and Our Community"
was furnished us by the National
Association of Manufacturers, Mew
York. By permission from the Ed
ucation Department of NAM we
shall be quoting portions of this
pamphlet during the next few
weeks. The following portion is
quoted verbatim.
"Have you ever stopped to con
sider the role teachers have played
in your life ? how they have fig
ured in the shaping of your ideas,
interests, and convictions?
"Next to parents, no one deals
more intimately than teachers with
a youngster's talents and deficien
cies, failures and achievements
during the crucial, formative early
years. We look to our schools with
great expectation. We look partic
ularly to teachers for the wise edu
cation and training of literate, pro
ductive, and freedom-loving citi
zens.
"Education needs the support and
guidance of all those whose lives
are enriched by it and whose fu
tures pend upon it.
"Never have we as a nation or
as a people been confronted with
more things which need to be done
well. No age has ever demanded
more wisdom, more loyalty, and
more uncommon men, willing and
ible to accept responsibility, than
docs this one.
"As you read this, about one
fifth of our total population is in
elementary or secondary schools.
Each of these youngsters will
spend about 12 per cent of his wak
ing hours in the presence of a
teacher ? as many as sixty teach
ers ? before receiving a high
school diploma.
"How well oar children will do
tomorrow, what kind of a living
and life they will make for them
selves, will depend largely upon
bow often and how much each citi
zen pitches in to help improve our
schools and to make teaching more
effective.
"Parents who insist on nothing
less than the best education for
their children and their neighbors'
children must be willing to pay for
high-quality professional leader
ship. Equally important, they must
donate their efforts ? willingly,
eagerly, and often ? to help publi
cize school problems on every
Main Street, in every community
of the nation.
"Teaching is the largest of all
professions; sometimes it is the
most misunderstood as well. It is

misunderstood, perhaps, because
many people tend to look upon
teaching as an occupation separate
and apart from the day-to-day ac
tivities of community life.
"Some parents send their chil
dren olWo school, hoping for the
best, but hardly aware of what ?
and how much ? is being done to
enrich their children's lives. These
people picture the teacher as a con
venient guardian and tutor, who re
lieves them of child-care chores
for a few hours each day. They are
grateful for these small favors but
take little further Interest in the
purpose, value, and problems of ed
ucation.
"The American teacher is a high
ly trained professional worker and
a member of one of the most im
portant professions. He under
stands children, is competent in his
subject area, and knows how to
teach.
"Today, four years of college
study is the minimum requirement
for high school teachcrs in 45 statei
and more than half of the statei
demand a college degree of teacher
candidates for the elementary
schools. A fifth year of study ii
already required in some statei
and is clearly In the offing in many
others.
"In addition to fulfilling formal
college requirementi, a teacher has
to measure up to the standard!
established by the individual state
departments of education before
qualifying for a license or creden
tials. Then come interviews,
screening, and final selection by
local school authorities ? the citi
zens you voted into office or who
were appointed in your community.
"Before walking into his first
classroom, a teacher's professional
qualifications and personal back
ground have been carefully review
ed and approved. No matter how
long lie continues to teach, he ii
aware of the fact that his profcs
sional education is a continuing pro
cess and never completed. It is nit
unusual to hear of teachers who
skimp, save, and take summer job!
to accumulate enough money for
additional schooling.
"Educators constantly strive to
keep teaching in pace with the dy
namic needs of our vastly complcx
and accelerating society. Working
through national, state, and local
professional associations and com
mittees, they have made it their
responsibility to maintain high pro
fessional standards and ethics.
"They have become increasingly
suspicious of haphazard shortcuts
in programs of teacher education
and 'emergency' certification plans.
The reasoning ii sound. The edu
cational equation la inescapable.
Second-rate teachers can mean only
second-rate schools. There is no
room in America (or either."

' Murphy DIM, Morehead City,
charged with assaulting Albert
Hills, Morehead City, last Friday
night was given 30 days on the
roads in county court yesterday.
Judge Lambert Morris ordered him
to remain on good behavior a year
and pay a $30 fine and coats.
Dise, a white man 21 years old,
appealed and his bond was set at
$100. The state decided not to
prosecute a case against Mills, a
Negro, charging him with assault
ing Dise; nor did it prosecute a
case against Dise charging him
with contributing to the delinquen
cy of a 16-year-old girl, daughter
of Mr. and Mrs. Mills.
Wiley Taylor Jr., solicitor, asked,
however, that another ease against
Dise charging him with procuring
a room for immoral purposes be
dropped temporarily with privi
lege reserved by the state to re
open it.
Mills, the first witness in the
case, said that he went to the home
of Robert Jones, Negro, at Crab
Point last Friday night looking for
his daughter, Jacquelyn. He said
that his daughter did not come out
of the house after he had waited
several minutes, so he went around
to thi back.
He said be heard someone on the
back porch and thinking it was
his daughter, he went on the porch
and found Dise. He said that Dise's
shirt was out and his pants weren't
fastened. He told the court that he
accused Dise of going to the Jones'
house to be with his daughter and
a fight ensued.
Then, he said, Jones, Jonas' wife,
and his daughter, Jacquelyn, ran
out of the house and his daughter
had a knife with which she tried to
stab her father.
Mills said he got in hii car and
came to town to swear out a war
rant (or Dise, and Dise and Jac
quelyn walked off down the road.
Under cross-examination, Mills ad
mitted that he put brass knucklei
on in the fight and told Dise that
he had a gun in the car.
On the witness stand Jones
claimed that Dise arrived at his
house Friday night about the same
time as Mills, but that Jacquelyn
had showed up earlier in the day.
He also said he did not know Jac
quelyn was Mills' daughter.
He (old the court that Jacquelyn
did not go after her father with a
knife after the fight started but tnat
he, Jones, had held her to "keep
them from double banking". He
explained to the court that "double
banking" is two personi' jumping
on one. 2
Mr. Taylor asked if Jones mail*
a habit of letting young girls come
to his house to use rooms. Jones
said he didn't.
Claud Wheatly, attorney for Dise,
called Mrs. Albert Mills to the
stand. She said that last Friday
Dise sent her a note saying he
wanted to talk to her. He came to
the house and asked her if they
had yet found their daughter,
Jackie, who had disappeared from
home.
Mrs. Mills said they hadn't and
she said that Dise then proposed to
get their daughter back home if

they would withdraw a warrant
against him charging him with con
tributing to the delinquency of
their daughter.
Mrs. Mills said that the warrant
would not be withdrawn. Later
someone came by their house and
told them that Jackie was at Robert
Jones' house it Crab Point. That's
why Mills went out there.
Mrs. Mills said that in her con
versation with Dise she asked why
he, a married man, was fooling
around with young girls. Dise, on
the stand, said that he is living
with his wife in Morehead City.
He said he had an orchestra at
one time and played over radio and
tv stations. When asked by the so.

after his orchestra had finished
playing the girls "would crowd

Dise was the last witness. After
the judge passed sentence, Mr.
Taylor warned the Mills that in the
future they were not to take the law
into their own hands, but they are
to get in touch with officers should
their daughter disappear.

land still remain under control of
