Teachers Raleigh, Apr. 9 North Carolina teachers will get every penny due public schools, Governor Ehringhaus has promised, and Frank L. Dunlap, in charge of the budget, promises that the money will be available. It is thought likely that the general fund will be probably $2,500,000 short at the time the teachers get their final pay, but the highway fund is available to it for any deficiency, and can 'be repaid later, it is stated. About $13,000,000 of $16,000,000 appropriation for schools was set a side for instructional service by the State School Commission, and this is sufficient to pay all teacher salaries, LeRoy Martin, secretary, states. The impression was current that because of the eoffrts to get federal aid, the money would be lacking. Such aid can be used, but teachers will get their pay whether it is secured or not, officials state. partment of Public Instruction, show. population in 1930, but this State was ! Will Be Paid This Year second only to South Carolina in the proportion of population of children from 6 to 17 years of age, tdose pre sumably in school. Naturally, this makes the educational problem in! North Carolina, both in a relative and in an absolute sense, much larg er than it is in many states, Mr. "West points out. Economic resources to meet this situation play an important part, but are hard to determine. The U. S. Bureau of the Census made an esti mate for 1922 and placed North Carolina in 43rd place on the basis of per capita wealth. The Nation al Industrial Conference Board, an organization of research economists, gave out figures for 1929 and 1930, which placed this State in the same relative position, that of 43rd. Wealth increased, but the increase in population was pome, greater, so that the per capital wealth decreased from 1922 to 1930. " A ranking of 43rd in per capita wealth compared with the position of 2nd in percentage of folks to be educated gives some idea of how big is the problem of financing schools in North Carolina," Mr. West states, ad ding that this phase should be con sidered in attempting to measure re sults in the various states. "Size of the job to be done is an important factor frequently omitted in the elevation of accomplishment." , North Carolina ranks low in per capital income, from which must be paid all educational costs. In esti mating the income by states for 1930, the Research Division of the National Education Association put North Carolina in 47th place. Only Alabama and Mississippi ranked low er, the District of Columbia being classed as a state, making 49. When this estimated total income is divided by the number of children 6 to 17 years of age, those to be given school ing, the position of North Carolina drops to 48th place, because of the large number of children to be edu cated, or, summarized: "next to the top in people to go to school; next to the bottom in income with which to pay the bills."

In North Carolina, the bulletin shows, on figures of the State School Commission, $$1,501,216 has been alloted to teachers, $9,106,887 to white teachers and $2,394,329 to ne gro teachers. The number of teachers allotted in the State is 23,077, or 16, 528 white and 6,549 negro. By a sim ple process of division, it is found that the teachers received an average of $498 a year, $550 for white and $365 for negro teachers.

Woud Give Give Governor Power to Appoint Local Officers By M. R. DUNNAGAN Raleigh, April 9 Add to the pow ers the Governor of North Carolina has now "the power to appoint the local officers of counties and towns, the selection of an appointive State Board of Education which could name all of the school teachers of the State, give him the veto power, and increase the opportunity for execu tive appointees and empoyees to sit in the General, and there would be created such a political machine as only a revolution could break or ev en dent.." Attorney General Dennis G. Brum ,mit made this statement along with others on "The Proposed New Con stitution" at his home town of Ox ford Satuday afternoon, ina sum mary of his speech, issued to the press. In an analysis he made of the pro posed constitution, he said that un der it "the legislature could confer ,on the Governor the power to appoint every officer of every county, town and municipality in the State. "It would place our public schools under control of a ,State Board of Education composed of the Superin tendent of Public Instruction and six appointees of the Governor. That board could appoint a secretary, in effect to be chosen by the Governor, and confer on this secretary power which should be exercised by the Su perintendent of Public Instruction elected by the people. That appoint ive board could select every teacher in every pubflic school in the State. "It would give the veto power to the Governor in the most dangerous and obnoxious form. Under the plan of the proposed new constitution a min imum vote of 26 in the Senate and 61 in the House would be required to pass a bill over sucha veto." Mr. Brummit said its proponents admit that it would remove many re strictions imposed upon the General Assembly now, and htat it is equally certain that it increases the opportu nity for domination and absorption of of legislative powers by the execu tive. He said that today the highway and other departments with large numbers of employees are directly under control of the Governor. "He can, in the choice of three men as members of the State Board of Elec tions, control the selection of every Democratic election official in the State," he said.. Admitting that changes in the Constitution are desired, he asked his hearers to reject the proposed constitution and suggested changes, making it impossible for the State Treasurer to audit the school funds; preserve the right of the people to elect some of their local officials.

Based on the size of the job as compared wii'i the resources to meet it, it could wt'.l be argued that North Carolina is diing all that is possible for schools. But if the children of this State are to have equal oppor tunity with those of other states, greater effort must be expended, Mr. West concludes.
