Teacher Shortage
Is Alarming
(Continued from page 1)
Hon competent teachers, which
can only be hud when they can be
encouraged with sui.Yicnt salary.
"Take for instance. ii:' janitors
are also underl aid. There is not
a business man outside the asylum
that would invest several bundled
thousand dollars in a building and
turn it over to a $4." to $u(l a month
man to keep up. Neither is there
a level-headed man who would
lui'ii over even an empty S2. ;i0()
bus to a Hi to 17-year-old boy to
drive for SLi..")1) a mouth that is
the material side, to say nothing
of the responsibility of the sateiy
and lives of '3i to SO children on
each trip."
Mr. Allen pointed out. "I am not
critical ol the young bus drivers,
they have done a remarkable job, ;
but it is just too much to expect
of them, and under the present
wage scale we are getting far more
than we are paying for." ,
Dining the discussion, mention!
was made of getting federal funds;
to supplement the salaries of the
teachers, without further cost to!
'he state. There was a dillerence
nf opinion expressed on this. Those
opposing the plan feared federal
dictation, increased costs in admin
istration and failure to get value
cccived lor I he expenditure, and
he complications of usual red tape
.n handling local problems where
cderal agencies are einohed.
Those expressing then wives l'av
ning the federal aid plan, pointed
out successful agencies now operat
ing in the state under such a sys
tem, and also. North Carolina ranks
almost at the top in federal reve
nue paid, and it shou hi he broii.'lil
hack to the state in some .form.
Opposition oll'set the latter with
the fact that a large portion of the
federal revenue collected in t In
state is cigarette tax, which the
manufacturers pay before shipping
the merchandise.
One civic leader expressed him
self, and others talking on the sub
ject agreed. "North Carolina is
definitely on the downward trend
in education, and will continue in
this direction until attractive sala
ries are offered and potential
teachers and leaders ate induced
to make leaching a profession,
rather than seeking other fields."
Instance after instance was cited
where former successful teachers
and instructors have entered the
industrial field, or other businesses
because of the dillerence in sala
ries. One suggestion brought out in
the discussion of the schools, was
SHORTAKE OF TEACH TWO
the need of a trained nurse on
duty at each school to check the
students as to teeth, eyes, ears and
general health. The nurse would
also follow through on each case
of illness, and where a contagious
disease was indicated, the student
would immediately be isolated
from others in an effort to curb
the spread of the disease. A furth
er possibility of the health pro
gram, was having an active phy
sician on duty available for a group
of schools, to take care of emer
gencies and accidents.
Rec. C. R. Crocket, president,
presided, and L, N. Davis was in
charge of the program.

department of education, said that
luv salaries are the chief cause of
the critical teacher shortage in the
South.
His claim was substantiated by
reports from superintendents of
education in six Southeastern
states. Collins said that efforts

sissippi, North Carolina, Virginia.
Florida and Louisiana to secure
leat her pay increases
Superintendents Questioned
Collins said he had questioned
each of the state school superin
tendents in these states to see what
they were doing to combat the in
structor shortage.
Florida's system of granting
scholarships to promising high
school graduates interested in be
coming ujihciL i, being consid
ered by North Carolina, Louisiana,
and Georgia, Collins said. But he
predicted that such a plan would
not be practical in Georgia until
teacher salaries were raised com
parable with other college gradu
ates, v
Superintendent John F. Williams,
of Kentucky, wrote that "the exo
dus of qualified teachers has not
only left us w ith an inadequate sup
ply, but also has bad an extremely
detrimental effect on 'he decision
of young people of ability to choose
teaching as a career "
Kentucky, he said, now had set
up machinery in each locality of
the state to encourage young peo
ple to become teachers.
Louisiana Superintendent John
F.. Cox outlined that state's three
point program to combat teacher
shortages. It included a 20 per
cent pay increase for teachers, a
comprehensive study of teacher
education,, including teacher re
cruitment and selection, and an
independent study of teacher edu
cation by the school superintend
ents. Cox predicted Louisiana
would propose a plan similar to
Florida's scholarship fund for
teacher trainees.
Dabney S. Lancaster, of Virginia,
said that "the most important fac
tor in the problem of securing an
adequate number of teachers is to
see that adequate salaries are paid

young people to enter the teaching
profession, according to Superin
tendent Clyde Krwin. He said that
the department of education in.i
suggest Florida's plan lor . rholar
ships. And he added that hi-.'her
wages for teachers were contain iy
being sought.
J. M. Tubb, of Mississippi, said
that all high schools and colleges
in the state had been urged to form
teacher organizations for those
who planned to enter, or won
studying for the profession.' He
s.iid thai .such groups already had
proven a stimulus to young people
to become teachers.
.Mississippi legislators and busi
ness men arc also being urged to
make teaching jobs more desirable
through increased salaries, Tubb
said.
Colin English, Florida superin
tendent of education, told of the
recent ly-apprnvod Lewis bill which
appropriated $4110.(100 for scholar
ships to teacher trainees. The law
provides a scholarship of $400 a
year for high school graduates
meeting standards set by the state
hoard of education who are recom
mended by their principal and
county superintendent.
