?"How fcuod do .you think the i
schools o f North Carolina should
be"- 16 of the 49, well ovtr a |
majority, said "Among the best
in the nation". Eight said
"about as goja as the national
average". Four said "above the
average for the Souihern
stales'. And one person wrote
in: "Much better than they are
at present." i
Answering Question No. 2?
' Wjuld you be willing to pay
the taxes necessary" for better
schools?- two persons did not
answer; one replied with the
written-in suggestion to "spend
more tax that is .already levied";
and 2G said "yes". Two of those
26, however, qualified their af
firmative answers. One said
"Yes, if the North Carolina
standard of education is en
forced", and another said "yes,
provided we can have qualified
teachers".
On the question of teachers'
salaries, 10 persons expressed
the opinion that they "should
be raised considerably"; 10
that they should be raised
slightly"; and eight answered
that the present salary scale is
"about right". Six of the 29
wrote in comments on this sub
iject:
| One, without answering spe
I cifically, commented that the
salary scale is -'too high for 90
per cent of such teachers as
you have". Another said the
teachers should be paid the
present scale "or less, for what
the average teacher is doing"; A
i third suggested a slight rise, "if
living costs increase; if living
costs decrease, lower, salaries".
Still another, remarked that the
current salary scale is about
right, "considering the mental
ability of the majority of 1
teachers we now have". The
, sixth person expressed the same
idea about right "considering
the type of teachers we have'.
One person wrote in the sug
gestion that the state should
"pay bus drivers more so the
busses can be operated by some
one besides school boys".
A big majority? 20 of the 29?
thinks "school facilities should
be used for both school and com
munity purposes on a year
round basis as needed". Five
said scnool facilities should be
used -'for school purposes only".
And four said "for both school
and community purposes during
the regular school year only".
Two persons wrote in com
ments on this subject. One sug
gested 'year-round salaries for
teachers" along with year-round
community use of the buildings;
and another ^remarked: "I am
unselfish enough to mark No. 3
(year-round school and com
munity use), but by all means
(puti schools first".
Most of those expressing their
opinions on the things that
should be most emphasized in!
the public schools checked morej
than one of the four listed on
the questionnaire. The totals
were as follows:
(a? "The fundamental skills
(reading, writing, arithmetit,
spelling)", 22.
