The bill as it now i stands is generally conceded to have en ver Y largely the work of Senator 1 j of Chowan, chairman of the * ena * e Education Committee, Repre sentative R. L. Harriss, of Person county, chairman of the House Com mittee on education, and the mem bers ot the sub-committee named many weeks ago to draw the new act. While a number of changes are i made in the act as compared with the 1933 School Machinery Act. the most HENDERSON, (N. C.) DAILY DISPATCH, THURSDAY, APRIL 18, 1935. ' important and significant is regarded as that contained in Section 13 1-2, j which changes the procedure in the l election of principals and teachers ' and which provides that the princi pals, instead of the superintendents or the local committeemen or local boards of education, shall select the teachers. Under the machinery act now in effect, the teachers are se lected by the school committeemen for each school or by the local hoards of education, with the approval of the | county or city superintendents. As a i result, of this plan; teachers must play up to the local school committeemen, w'ho are also usually local politicians school committeemen, school board members and to their superintendents in order to hols their jobs. But if this new machinery act is passed, it will mean that the teachers will be responsible only to the prin j cipals who are immediately over them and who know them best. The prin j cipals are to he selected by the coun |ty or city superintendents and must i he approved by the hoard of educa j lion, while the superintendents are em ployed by the county or city hoards of education. Other important changes in the new machinery act as compared with the one now in effect are as follows: 1. Salaries of superintendents and principals will he fixed by the State School Commission and the State j Board of Education in a salary sche i dule to he adopted, instead of written into the law as at present. Tn other words, the School Commission and Board of Education will fix the sala i ries of superintendents and principals in the same manner in which they now fix teachers’ salaries. 2. The State School Commission shall be composed of nine members appointed by the governor, one from each congressional district, as at pres ent, with the lieutenant governor as chairman, the State superintendent of public instruction as vice-chairman ami the State treasurer as an ex-offi cio member. At present, the gover nor is also an ex-officio member, but ho is left off the commission in the present act. 3. No high school will he maintain- j ed with less than 80 pupils in average daily attendance and no elementary school with less than 25 pupils in average daily attendance, unless geo graphical conditions make it impos sible to conform with these require ments. At present 60 pupils in aver age daily attendance are required for a high school and 25 for an elemen tary school. This new provision, in creasing the high school requirements from 60 to 80 pupils, will mean the discontinuation of about 100 small high schools and their consolidation with larger schools. 4. A county superintendent may al so act as the principal of a high school and receive not to exceed S3OO a year additional salary for so doing; he may also act as county welfare officer at whatever compensation the county may pay him. а. If the income from fines, forfeit- j UTT2. penalties, dog taxes, poll taxes j and so forth are not sufficient for the 1 cost of maintaining school plants in counties or other administrative units, then the governing bodies of these units must levy an additional tax for maintainence of these plants. If there is an excess of revenue from these sources, it may be used for other objects. б. Teachers will not be required to attend summer school the summer of 1935, hut will he required to attend summer school in 1936 and 1937. It is understood that this provision was wiitten in at the insistence of State Superintendent Clyde A. Erwin, who believes teachers should he required to attend summer school after this summer. 7. Any county, city or town may supplement any or all of the objects paid for by the State, provided such supplement is voted by the people of the unit in a special election and that Ihe amount of the tax approved shall remain the maximum until increased or decreased in another election. 8. All teachers, principals and sup erintendents will come under the terms of the State workmen’s compen sation act and each teacher will be allowed three days’ sick leave with ! pay each school year of 160 days. j 9. Counties must levy taxes, if ne- ; cessary, to supply whatever addition- . al school buses are. needed to trans port pupils to and from school, to pro- ; vide necessary equipment for the buses ai I to house them properly when not in use. The State will con tinue, as in the past, to pay the cost of operating the buses. ,10. School bus drivers shall continue to be selected by the principals or superintendents of the schools at the terminus of the bus routes and shall live as near the other end of the routes as possible. They may be stu dent drivers and no age limit is fixed. Their pay shall be determined by the State School Commission. State Superintendent of Public In struction Clyde A. Erwin declined to comment on the bill or to say whether or not he would support it. He did say, however, that Section 13 1-2, which changes the method of select ing teachers and gives this function to the principals, “is not my section,” It is also known that there are other things in the bill which he does not approve. It is known that he wanted a Machinery Act wheih would make him rather than the Lieutenant gov ernor the chairman of the school commission, and, which would give the county and city superintendents the power to select all of the teachers, rather than have the principals se lect them. This would have given the county and city superintendents complete control of the hiring and fix ing of teachers. Wife Preservers WhM .pill.. ..
