Present Teacher ‘Load’
Retained By Commission
Salaries For Instructors Will Be
Fixed At Next Meeting Os Group,
Scheduled For Early Next Month
—Ciaude Gaddy Resigns As As
sistant Secretary.
Raleigh, June 18 The state
school commission, meeting in ex
ecutive session here today, voted to
retain the present basis of teacher
allotment for the coming scholastic
year.
The ratio of teachers to pupils—
or “teacher load”—now in effect in
elementary schools provides for one
teacher for the first 25 pupils, two
for 45, three for 75, four for 110,
five for 145, six for 180 and one for
each 36 pupils thereafter.
In high schools, the-ratio is one
for 25, two for 40, three for 60, sou
for 85 and one for each 35 pupils
thereafter.
Salaries for teachers will be fixed
at the next meeting of the commis
sion, to be held early next month.
Gaddy Quits Rest
Claude G. Gaddy, assistant com
mission secretary, resigned. It was
understood he might become city
superintendent of schools here.
Lloyd E. Griffin, executive sec
retary of the group, announced
there had been a trausfer of $143,-
000 from the contingency and em
ergency fund to taH© care of obli
gations incurred during the 1934-
1935 school year. Principal items in
volved, he said, were fuel, gasoline
and oil bills. Teachers have been
paid in full.
Another transfer from the con
tingency fund probably will be
made to take care of deficits during
the last school year, Griffin said.
Janitors probably will receive a
4.16 percent salary increase during
the next school year, he said. The
commission estimated $433,000 would
go to janitors, compared to $412,-
405.63 in 1935-1936 and $353,961.37
in 1934-1935.
Other items of plant operation
earmarked by the commission are:
Fuel, $430,000; water, lights and
power, $110,000; janitors’ supplies,
$50,000; telephones, $13,000.
The total set aside for plant op
eration was $1,036,000, compared to
$1,081,465.39 in 1935-36 and $915,-
924.92 in 1934-35.
Fuel Estimates Lower
Fuel estimates were SB,BOO lower
than the amount spent during the
last school year because of the “un
usual winter,” Griffin said. Esti
mates for water, lights and power
were $4,500 more than last year
because of new construction and ad
ditions to present buildings.
Reports submitted to the, com
mission showed there were 23,581
teachers in North Carolina publio
schools during the last school year
and 23,322 during the; 1934-35 pe
riod.
Teachers received $16,600,000 in
salaries in 1935-36 as compared with
$13,456,000 in 1934-35.
Griffin said the commission “had
expected instructional salaries to
run even higher than they did”
during the last school year.
Reports from 120 of the state’s
168 public school units indicated at
tendance in high schools had in
creased 6,000 and attendance in' ele
mentary schools had dropped 4,000
during the last scholastic term.
The commission voted to allot all
superintendents’ travel and office ex
penses July 1 instead of alloting
smaller sums each month. Superin
tendents will continue to receive the
funds in monthly installments, how
ever.

YOUR OFFICER
WILL TELL YOU
“It’s a Wise Thing to Carry Automobile Insurance.”
The “in and out weaver,” the “road hog,” the
“speed demon,” the “horn blower,” the “pest” who turns
in the middle of the road—all are every day problems of
your officer. He knows the risks you stand every time
you drive your automobile. He knows that from 1922
through 1935 deaths from automobile accidents in this
country have aggregated 380,000, and that these deaths
have exceeded by 55 per cent the record of those killed
in action, or who died of wounds in all the wars in which
this country participated. He is fully aware that thou
sands of less serious accidents are happening every day.
Automobile Accident Deaths By Years Are:

QUESTIONS
ANSWERED
Question: Is it economical to car
ry pullets to the hen year for
production purposes only?
Answer: This question naturally
reverts back to thq breeding of the
birds. Heavy producing pullets of
good breeding can be carried over,
but all except the known heavy
producers shjnuld be replaced by
pullets. As a usual thing, hen year
production is about 25 per cent less
than that of the pullet year and the
bird must also be fed through a
threb; months moulting period
which makes it unprofitable to car
ry any but the heavy egg producers
to the hen year.
Question: When should I begin
feeding grain to my young calves?
Answef: Small amounts of both
grain and hay should be offered the
calf at about two weeks of age or
when the change from whole milk
to skim-milk is made. Only a small
handful is given daily, but this
amount can bq gradually increased
as the calf grows older until it is
receiving around three pounds a day
at six months of age. Feed only as
much as the calf will clean
up. The grain should be fed just
after thq milk and while the calf is
still fastened to the stanchion.
Question: What is the best control
for tobacco bud worm damage?
Answer: The application of pois
oned corn meal bait is the best
medium for controlling this damage
which is causbfl by the corn ear
worm. One pound of arsenate of
lead thoroughly mixed with 50
pounds of corn meal and applied at
the rate of one peck, or twelve
pounds to the acre will give satis
factory results. The applications
should be 1 made early in the morn
ing when the tobacco bud is open.
A small pinch of the poison should
be dropped in the center of the
bud. Begin applications about ten
days aftfer the plants are set and
repeat every week or ten days un
til the plants are topped.
Question: What must I substitute
for green fe:d to keep my layers in
health and production?
Answer: Where green feed is not
available, a balanced laying mash
reinforced with a poLnt fish oil
should be kept before the birds at
all times. The addition of from 5
to 7 and one-half percent of alfalfa
leaf meal will, in most cases, pro
vide ample insurance for the lack
of this green feed. Where possible,
dehydrated alfalfa leaf meal should
be used. THe use of this leaf meal
and a good laying mash should
keep the birds in a good, healthy,
laying condition.
Question: Does altitude make any
difference in the time of processing
in canning fruits and vegetables?
Answer: Yes. Water boils at ap
proximately two degrees lower for
every 1,000 feet above sea level and
it is necessary, therefore, to cook
products longer in high altitudes, as
the lower temperatures will not
sterilize as readily as the sea level
boiling point. A table showing the
proper processing time for the
higher altitudes is given in Exten
sion Miscellaneous Pamphlet No. 39,
a copy of which will be sent free
upon application to the Agricultural
Editor at State College.
Question: When should I select
my seed Irish potatoes for planting
next year?
Answer: Seed potatoes should be
selected at harvest time. Go through
the field just before genqral digging
and dig separately a large number
of hills, keeping the potatoes of
each hill to themslqlves. Select the
seed potatoes from those hills hav
ing the largest number of uniform
tubers that are typical of the varie
ty. Selection of thq seed potatoes
from the stored crop gives no as
surance of good yields nor freedom
from disease.
