The contest begins February 10,
and continues through April 30.
Each school has 100 points to be
gin with. Each forest fire that
occurs in a school district will
count 25 points against that
school. If when the fire suppres

N. C. Forest Service arrives, the
fire is under control 10 of the 25
points will be given back. Each
false alarm in a school district will

MORE ABOUT
SALARIES
(Continued from Page 1)
above purposes.
In supplementation of the above
a special committee of the N. C.
Districts Principals Association de
cided on January 4, 1941, to ask
the legislature to provide for a
fifth increment for principals and
to ask the State School Commis
sion to provide for (a) further al
lowance for school bus supervision,
(b) a travel allowance for district
principals, (c) and office allow
ance for district proncipals, and
(d) to clarify definitely the posi
tion of district principal.
It is quite obvious that there
should be an increase in the school
salaries in the light of the follow
ing facts revealed by an article to
the Associated Press by Dr. Clyde
A. Erwin in December, 1940:
"In 1391, when the state con
trolled the schools for six months
each year, the highest monthly sal
ary was $123; in 1933, the state
operated the schools for eight
months and the highest monthly
salary paid was $90; since 1933,
the annual or biennial increase has
now reached a maximum of $128
per month, which figures are still
below the salary schedule of 1921.
On the basis of the latest com
parative figures of the several
states, North Carolina ranks 36th
in the average annual salaries paid
teachers, supervisors, and princi
pals. The highest average salary
paid those school employees was
highest in New York $2,322 an
nually; the lowest in Arkansas
$571; the average of the nation
was $1,374; whereas the average
paid North Carolina teachers was
$897 annually or $75.00 monthly.
If any provision is to be mad
wherebv the school teachers are to
meet the anticipated increjse in
living expenses in the en suing bi
ennium it must be through our leg
islators. And these members of
the General Assembly will act with
a definite degree of effectiveness

the necessity of this increase
through the concerted efforts of
the school employees and the civic
minded laymen of North Caroline.
It was in this spirit that the State
Legislative Council, representing
nine statewide civic and religious
organizations, have officially en
dorsed the educational legislative
program of the N. C. E. A.
The children of our State can be
taught best by persons who bring
to their teaching the fruits of trav
el stnrlv. readinc. drama, music,
and other phases of broad cultural
experiences. And this cultural
background cannot be acquired by
a mere subsistence wage.
School Money buys nothing mora
valuable than personal service.
The efforts of individual school
employees largely determines the
quality of education in a commun
ity. And the school salary policy
is one of the most potent influenc
es in determining the quality of
the school instructional staff.
According to a N. E. A. report
the foundation of a sound salary
policy have been laid if the follow
ing questions can be answered in
the affirmative:
1. Do the employees concerned
have a voice in planning the salary
policy?
2. Are salaries paid on a defi
nite schedule, adopted by the board
of education?
3. Are salaries high enough po
that teachers can maintain them
selves in dignity on a plane of liv
ing suited to their professional re
sponsibilities? 4. Does the schedule empha
size the value of high professional
qualifications?
5. Are service increments pro
vided as a means of normal prog
ress from minimum to maximum
salaries in each class?
6. Are salaries of arious
groups of employees fair in rela
tion to each other?
7. Are the facts on salaries
studied and made available to the
community?
