! cation committees. 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.
