Gerald W. Johnson Says Reduction In Appropriation Would Be Wastd -o- Author and Member of Staff of Baltimore Sun Says Advances of State Are Largely Attributable to Education and Retrenchment Is Undesirable. " o ; . Further reduction of state ex penditures for education would be a waste rather than saving, believes Gerald W. Johnson, former professor of journalism at the University. In a state ment published in the Raleigh News and Observer, Johnson, who is now a renowned author and member of the editorial staff of the Baltimore, Sun, issued a stinging rebuke to the advocates of educational retrenchment. "North Carolina has come a long way since 1876," he com mented "but she can goback in a quarter of the time it took her to climb up; and she begins the slide downward the moment she begins to think good roads more important than good schools, and to pay more for gasoline than for education." Wages and Teachers , Low scale wages mean low calibre teachers, believes the journalist. i Citing the fact that the. state pays its teachers the ! wages of a junior guard in a con-d vict camp, he asserted that be fore long the ability of the av erage teacher in the state would be commensurate with that of the convict guard, the quality of instruction having come down to the level of the pay. "If any North Carolinian is in doubt as to what poor teaching Carolina Magazine Has Prepared Many Authors For Literary Fame - ' o ; " .

Poor teachers and schools, mean eventually, Hef lins and Vardamans in the nar tional senate ; Bilbos and Bleases in the governor's chair, dema gogery in politics, superstitu tion in religion and stupidity in business, he added. North and South "There is doubt," he con tinued, "that some states, es pecially in the north and west are facing what amounts to an educational racket, which means that they are spending on the schools a great deal of money that doesn't go into education at all." - .; Such a condition does not ex ist in North Carolina, he be- lieves. "The state at its highest point spent only a fraction of what northern and western states are spending per capita for schools. The state has been getting more for each dollar it spent than any other in the union, if comparative statistics mean anything. To reduce its small expenditures still further is not economy but waste."
