5-Point Legislative |
Program To Be Sought
By Education Forces ;
A five-point basic legislative
program has been adopted by
the North Carolina United
Forces for Education, according
to H. L. Bryant, chairman of
Macon County's recently formed
Citizens Committee for Educa
tion.
The two cooperating groups
represent a wide variety of
agencies and organizations in
terested in education.
The local committee will meet
January 31 to consider the five
point program, It was announc
ed.
The program, it was explain
ed, to eliminate the continuing
shortage of white elementary
teachers; guarantee that every
child shall be taught by a prop
erly qualified teacher supplied
with adequate instructional ma
terials; and make sure that no
child is denied the privilege of
attending school In a building
that is safe and sanitary.
The five legislative goals are:
"1. The Immediate reduction
of class size from 32 pupils per
teacher to 30 pupils per teach
er, based on average dally at
tendance, and the reduction to
25 paplls per teacher as soon
as possible.
"2. A salary schedule of $2600
to $4100 for A certificated
teachers, as a minimum, based '
on present conditions with com- 1
mensurate increases in salaries 1
of other school personnel. The 1
salary schedule for A certifi- ?
cated teachers shall be based
on not more than 12 incre
ments. (The present salary
range of A-certificate teachers
is $2,200 to $3,100.)
"3. Sufficient funds to employ
an adequate number of properly
qualified attendance enforce
ment personnel.
"4. Appropriations not only to
meet increased costs of current
expense items but also to pro
vide additional required services
and supplies (such as improved
janitor and jnaid services, cler
ical aid for schools and more
instructional materials.)
"5. Capital outlay funds by
bond issue to complete the
present school building program,
these funds to be distributed on
the basis of need and ability to
provide."
In addition to these five "bas
ic legislative" goals, the United
Forces declares that, "If public
education is to continue to keep
In step with and contribute to
the expansion of the state,
economically, agriculturally, and
Industrially", these additional

number, and location of live- 1
stock marketing agencies; vol
ume, seasonality,' and type of
livestock handled by type of
market, source, disposition, and ,
destination of animals, methods
of transporting livestock to and , '
from marketing agencies; phys- j
ical facilities and practices of i
market agencies, and public reg- j ]
ulation of livestock markets.
The study was made by Walt- j
er P. Cotton, associate professor |
of agricultural economics. The (
bulletin is part of a long-range
research program on livestock
1 marketing by the experiment
! stations of several Southern
I states. The efforts are being
I coordinated through a South
j em Regional Technical commit
! tee, in cooperation with the U.
S. Department of Agriculture's
Bureau of Agricultural Econom
ics.
Some of the conclusions
reached by Mr. Cotton are that
many of the markets are too
small, most sales are not made
by grade, and shrinkage of ani
nals bought at auctions is ex
lessively high.

ber of appendix tables. Single
