Teachers Told Proposed
School Program To Give
Equal Education Facilities
"The North Carolina School Com
mission has recommended in its
report to the Governor and L949
Legislature that equal educational
advantages be given to every child
in North Carolina, regardless of
where they live," M C. Campbell,
a member of the commission, told
some 300 people here Wednesday
night.
Mr. Campbell, superintendent of
the Catawba county schools, ad
dressed teachers, school committee
men, and patrons, together with
county and state officials, in a
meeting sponsored by the North
Carolina Education Association,
and Classroom Teachers' groups,
at tbe ll.ielwuod cafeteria.
Mr. Campbell explained the
work of the 18-mcmber commis
sion, and the vast amount of re
search which went into their re
port, and recommendations.
"Tlie report calls for an expendi
ture of 104 millions, plus about 7
millions for transportation. We
further recommend that the state
share in the cost of building
schools, and that a pro rata basis
be worked out for counties and
state to finance the program.
"At present, there are many
counties that cannot build better
schools than what they have, and
indications are that they never will
be in a position to do so. Pupils
in such counties will never get
equal educational opportunities un
less a program such as suggested
by the commission is put into
force.'' he continued
Mr. Campbell concluded his re
marks by making a plea that "a
united effort be made to get the
proposed program adopted by the
General Assembly, in order that
North Carolina can have a modern,
and adequate school system."
W. Curtis Huss, a member of
one of l he Commission committees,
told briefly of the reconmenda
tions made as to organization and
