The direct cause of this deficiency is attributed to a "lack of funds." A statement of protest, immediately issued by the Louisville Classroom Teachers' Association sets forth, among other things, that "Louisville pays her teachers far below the average set by other cities of similar size and wealth" and that "unfortunately teachers find it necessary to purchase the ordi nary necessities of livelihood as do all others." Yes, we know; the school system is different in Kentucky, as the ad valorem tax obtains and financing of education is a local proposition. That differepce is precisely what we're talking about. North Carolina schools are -state financed, which in creases the resposibility and the amount of funds to be raised by our general assembly, and as such their personnel has been paid regularly and fully. Sure, salaries were cut to the bone; but nevertheless the bone was and is forthcoming on pay day, and the teacher wage scale and operating funds are now defi nitely and soundly on the upgrade. There must be in the Louisville development further evidence that the ad valorem, exclusively local, finance plan will not stand up. The teachers' plight is part of the Kentucky system and the fiscal muddle which the Blue Grass state's affairs, rami fying down into the lesser subdivisions of government, find themselves. Governor Chandler and his repeal legislature did nothing towards relieving this situation. The struggle which . they have had to ^cure replacement taxes, with a final resort to high selective commodity levies which extend even to water, Is exclusive of provision for the schools and the other state wide activities which North Carolina has assumed. Tar Heel citizenry generally will do well to take a look at Kentucky. And no look, with this specific example at hand, should linger longer than that of our teachers. From Plymouth Mi* Virginia Hurnthal and the Messrs. George Boyd and Roy Hamp ton, of Plymouth, visited here this week.
