Supply Os Elementary White Teachers In
North Carolina Does Not Equal Demand
North Carolina institutions of high
er learning will graduate next month
663 persons who plan to teach in the ;
white elementary schools of the State,
lased on the demand for the current
/ear, however, there is a need for
1,707 teachers in this field. Thus
there will be more than 1,000 fewer ,
properly trained teachers for the ele
mentary schools for white children of ;
the State than will be available.
These facts are disclosed in a recent 1
study made by Dr. James H. Hillman
of the State Department of Public In
struction. In this study supply indi- :
cates the number of students who will <
graduate from North Carolina colleges
this year and who will qualify for a :
Class A teacher’s certificate. The de- ]

her of new teachers employed in 1953-
54. And a new teacher is defined as
a teacher who taught in 1953-54 but
who did not teach anywhere in
1952-53.
In addition to what has been stated
above, there is (or will be) a suffi
cient supply of elementary teachers
for the Negro race and for all high
schools. On the assumption that all
students who prepare to teach actual
ly teach, there is an oversupply in
most subject areas in the high school.
According to Dr. Hillman, this as
sumption should not be made. Based
on replies from one-third of those who
prepared to teach in 1952-53, it was
found that 87.9 per cent of those who
prepared to be elementary white teach
ers in 1952-53 actually taught in 1953-
THE CHOWAN HERALD, EDENTON, N. C„ THURSDAY, MAY 27, 1954.
54. Os those (one-third of the cases)
who prepared to teach in the second
ary school (finishing college) in 1953,
only 55.9 per cent taught in 1963-54.
It would appear, therefore, that the
shortage indicated would be greater
and the oversupply for the high school
would be much less than apparent.
Hillman says, “On the data furnished,
to give the profession 1,000 elemen
tary teachers would require an output
of less than 1,200 teachers, whereas
for the same number of secondary
teachers would require an output of
some 1600 secondary teachers.”
The significant thing is the fact
that only 60 (24 county and 34 city)
of the 174 units, approximately 30
per cent, have “produced” a suffici
ent number of white teachers this year
to fill their respective demands. The
statement is indicative as to this sit
uation as a whole and may not be true
for each respective unit. This is true
because the demand figures are for
the year 1953-54 school year, whereas
the “number of teachers produced” are
this year’s graduates who will be
available for employment during 1954-
55. In view of the fact, therefore,
that the total teachers produced in
1952-53 was approximately identical to
the number to be produced this year,
the picture as revealed is substantially
correct.
Insofar as individual units are con-!
cemed, however, the per cent of teach
ers produced in 1953-54 from the high
school graduates of 1949-50 is more
indicative. Although not 100 per cent
correlation, there is a close relation in
most instances between the “per cent
of teachers produced" and the “pel
cent of demand” as presented.

Here Are The Facts, Kerr Scott!
i
! You said, Candidate Scott, in a speech at Durham as quoted in The News and Observer
of May 22,1954: “All the people want are the cold, hard facts and the opportunity to pass
upon them. The people want from their political leadership clean, fair and honest cam
paigns.”
These Are Cold, Hard Facts, Kerr Scott:
1. You received from the State in 1952. while you were Governor. $12,658 for highway right-of-way through your 2,300-acre
plantation.
2. You leased a rock quarry on your farm to a contractor building roads for the State, and thus profited in another way from
the road program.
3. Since you were acknowledged as Boss by your Highway Commissioner, a total of 19.5 miles of secondary roads were built
in and around your 2,300-acre plantation.
\ 4. Your son used a State car to travel to and from Raleigh while he was a student at Duke University.
5. In violation of law, you accepted pay from East Carolina College for making a speech at this State Institution while you
were Governor.
6. You accepted gratuities as Governor, including $1,141.87 worth of nitrogen solution delivered to your farm by the Liberty
Manufacturing Company of Red Springs to fertilize your pastures for a political rally you never held.
7. You have refused to make public your income tax returns so the people can decide for themselves to what further extent
you unlawfully enriched yourself as Governor.
8. You fired or attempted to fire numerous State employees because they did not vote for your hand-picked candidates as you
dictated.
YOU ASKED FOR THE FACTS, KERR SCOTT! AND YOU GOT THEM!
We agree with you: “The people want from their leadership clean, fair and honest cam
paigns.” The people also want clean, fair and honest candidates.

About Mr. Dionne
Two fellows sat in a New York res
taurant. Each had a cup of coffee in
front of him, and a single newspaper
was spread out on the table so that
both might read at the same time.
The first pointed to a picture of the
Dionne quintuplets. “Look at those
quints,” he said. “Aren’t they grow
ing up to be charming women?”
The second glanced at the photo.
“Yeah,” he grunted. “Sure—they are
okay.” He sipped his coffee and then
spoke suddenly: “By the way, has
Mr. Dionne begotten any more quint
uplets?”
The first man put down his cup.
“More quintuplets?” he echoed. Os
course, not.”
The other lighted a cigarette. “Just
as I thought,” he murmured. “I al
ways imagined he was just a flash in
