RALEIGH Working closely with Governor J Melville Brough ton and R. Gregg Cherry and with the various Legislatures, the N. C. Education Association since 1940 has greatly improved the lot of the average teacher in North Carolina. This was shown here this week In figures released as the teachers laid final plans or their aunual convention to be held in Asnevuie this month. Io 1940. the beginning teacher's salary was only $96 per month, and (or only eight months, while budget recommendations for the coming vear is for a salary for beginners of $216 per month for a nine-month term. Since 1940- the 12th grade has been added, the ninth month has been added, the Teachers and State Employees Retirement Sys tem has been created at . cost of approximately $7,500,000 per year, and the average teacher load has been reduced from 35 pupils per teacher to 32 pupils budget recommendations for 1949-501. The average North Carolina teacher in 1940 drew only $871.54 per year. This has been increased to $2,370.90 per year, and the aver aee principal's salary from $1, 537.18 to $3,875.64. Since 1940 the public school budget has been increased from $27,745,410 each year to Ibudget recommendations for next year) S83.040.057. The top "V'-certificate holder 'eight years experience in 1940 re ceived a salary of $128 per month for eight months. Since that time, the eighth, ninth, and tenth in crements have been added. Ihe eleventh will go into effect this fall and the top-certificate-and-ex- perience teacher will receive $289.20 per month for nine months. By way of comparison, the state of Pennsylvania, second wealthiest in the Nation, now pays lis teach ers a net average annual sala.iy of l $2,780 as against $2,370.90 or North Carolina, which ranks forty first in per capita wealth and per capita income. The 1940 figures above are com pared with budget recommenda tions for next year. However, a fight is now raging in the Legisla ture to push these recommenda tions a great deal higher; and those who are working to abide by the budget recommendations or cer-i tainly not to go far above them are being labeled as "enemies of education" in North Carolina. Young people who enter the teaching profession next fall will, under the recommendation of the Budget Commission, receive a monthly salary of $216, which is $1,944 for a nine-months' job, the prospect of receiving 11 annual increments, the benefits of a finan cially sound retirement s stern, and a teacher load of less than 32 pu pils. They will also have the pros pect, if they are good teaeher, of earning up to $4,472 per year as a principal, and up to $6,912 as a superintendent. These figures do not include local supplements, which many of our cities are pay ing. The N. C. Education Association's officials should be proud of its accomplishments.
