Sopt. Erwin Highly
Pleased WIHiRaise
ForThe Teaches
All Salaries To Be In
creased 29 Per Cent
Over Last YearVSche
dule for Eight Months
Term
Raleigh, Aug,. 15.?>"I am highly
pleased at the action of the State
Board of Education and the State
School Commission in fixing teach
ers' salaries, at a 20 percent increase
over last year's schedule for the full
eight months term," stated Superin
tendent Clyde A. Erwin after the
School Commission had concurred, in
the action of the State Board of
Education of the week before.
"I take pecular pleasure in the
fact that every road 1b how left open
to provide a 20 percent increase in
Teacher* salaries. I believe we will
have sufficient money., from some
source to operate the schools and
pay the teachers on this basis for
the full eight months," said Mr.
Erwin.
"In this connection I might say
that from the beginning I stood for
a $22,000,00(1 appropriation providing
for a 25 per cent increase in salaries.
I appeared before the joint appro
priation committee for ths program,
and on this request I had the support
Associations,
UJL UIC i aiv. v-* r
?the N. C. Education Association, the
State Federation of Labor, the State
Federation of Woman's Clubs, Junior
Order United American Mechanics,
civic- organizations and almost the
entire press. Both the chairmen of
the House Appropriations Commit
tee, Mr. Bryant, and the Senate Com
mittee, Mr. Gravely, and other mem
bers of the Legislature in public
statements emphasized the fact that
I never did recede from my request.
"When it was found that only a 20
per cent salary increase could be
made under the estimate of revenue,
I still stood out for the $22,000,000
for the schools. On the occasion of
the.debate in the House on the school
appropriation it was stated that 1
favored a smaller appropriation. To
this Chairman Bryant replied: "'I
have been further auoted as saying
that these figures (appropriations
for schools) were satisfactory to the
better school men of the State, in
cluding Mr. Erwin, State Superin
tendent of Public Instruction. These
statements are untrue, and I "have
never made them."
"When the appropriations bill was
being considered in the Senate,.Sen
ator Gravely said that Superintend
ent Erwin had 'appeared before the.
committee in behalf of his request
for $22,000,000 for each year of the
biennium. Insofar a my knowledge
goes, he has never receded from that
position. The suggestion which has
recently been made that the Super
intendent of Public Instruction has
bqen in any way disloyal to the
schools-or to the teachers is to my
?certain -knowledge^pnwarrantedr un
fair, unjust-artd untrue.'"

i Agents To Handle
Allotment Cards
Growers who will need additional
tobacco allotment cards this fall
should secure them through their
county agents.
These growers will be given credit
for their surplus yields ojnly when
the additional cards are secured from
the agents, explained E. Y. Floyd, of
State College. . I '
I In preparing future contracts, he
continued, 1935 will be,one of the
base years ,and growers will need
accurate records of their production
for this year to get foU< allotments.
I Due to various conditions, some
of the growers are producing an.their

During the past spring, Dr. N. T.

"preschool clinics throughout Pitt
county, and found 'that many physi-1
cal defects, such as teeth, diseased
"tonsils, eye-strain, etc., which al-|
-Urays'handicap children in their I

$ At that time, he urged -the pa-1
rents to have such defects corrected.
He- wisher again ta remind aH pa
rents that no child should be per
mitted to enter school without hav
ing had a careful medical examina
tion followed up by a correction of
such defects as the physician may
recommend as being necessary.
* Jt is neither fair to the child nor
to the school to send your child to
school handicaped with physical I
defects which may cause him to I
do inferior school work, resultingl
possibly in failure to make the
garde.
In; addition to the correction of
physical* defects, the children should
be vaccinated- against smallpox and
diphtheria before entering school
We'understand that the propos
ed opening date for the Greenville
City Schools is for September 9th,
?nd that for the county schools
September 12th. Therefore, if you
iwill take your child to your family

you will have time togef him, ready
to enter school in the best possible'
physical condition. We urge you to
act at once. . '
Record Keeping Aids
Ixk Herd Improvement
Records kept on the dairy herd at
State; College are considered one of
the main factors aiding in the de
velopment of its efficiendy and pro
ductivity. - a
For thirty years complete records
have; been kept of all milk produc
tion^ cost of production, cost of rais
ing {young stock, the amount and
kind iof feed consumed, and the mefi
ods used in breeding, feeding ,and
selecting the catties
Thfe system of herd management
is based on the data thus made avail
able | for study in the records, said
Profi F. M. Haig, of the animal hus
bandry and dairymg department.
An a result, he pointed-out, during
the past eight yean the average
production of the cows has increas
ed IB per cent, for milk and 15 per
cent; for butter?with the cost of
production dropping:, 30 per cent.
Ini 1927 the -average production of
the 37 cows in the herd was 7,288
pounds of millc and:364 pounds of
4utt$rfat per cow each year, and the
1?*? ?-.~vri,t?,'nor inn rviiindfl of milk
CU3L V/x pivuuvi?.b - - - r ~
was #226,
I ? N<Jw the average production is
8J>9<j pounds of milk and 417 pounds
of butter. The cost of producing
100 pounds of milk is 81.56.
The preseht herd consists of '90
registered Jersey, Guernsey, and Hol
stein cattle. Thirty-four cows are
<jf milking age.
- No cows are kept in the herd un
less they can meet the high standard
required. The U. S. Department of
Agriculture has certified that all the
animals are free from tuberculosis j
and. Bang's disease. I
Students lse the herd as a labora
tory where they may learn by actual
practice the solution of numerous
herd management problems. Many
of the young registered bulls are sold
to farmers for improving dairy herds
over the. State.
