Legislators Hear Appeal By 1,000 For School Fund 5 Cleveland Teachers Attend Meeting Throng Appeals In Raleigh Asking increase To $22,000,000; Er- j win Tells Program. RALEIGH. Peb. 5.—School touch-' ers and friends of school teachers bore down upon the cupitol yester- j day, storming the legislature with ; an army of 1,000 to demand that; $22,000,000 be appropriated for schools instead of the $18,500,000' recommended by the advisory bud-1 get commission. Cleveland county was represent- ! ed by Superintendent of City \ Schools B L. Smith, and the follow- j ing from the county schools: Law ton Blanton of No. 3, H. M. Young, of Belwood, R. D, Arrowood of Lat- j timore, O. P. Hamrick of Boiling Springs, C. M. King of Waco and J. j A. Kiser of Polkville. Support for the appeal ol sup- i erintendent Erwin was also voiced by educational leaders from all sections of North Carolina at a two-hour public hearing before the joint committee on appropriations yesterday afternoon. Erwin, In a '’blackboard" lecture, told the committee that salaries should’ be increased 25 per cent i rather than the 15 per cent rec- j ommpndpfl hv KnHcf sion. He asked for $17,689,125.50 the first year of the biennium for in structional service and $18,019,557.10 the second. For the other main divisions, he asked $2,079,000 for auxiliary agen- f cies; $1,250,000 for plant operation; and $659,250 for general control. Urging the committee to grant the requested increase, Dr. Julian Miller of Charlotte, representing the state council of emergency in education, declared “200,000 men 1 and women of North Carolina are 1 squarely behind the program of our superintendent.” “Culture Before Commerce” “The legislature must come to the rescue and stop the crumbling of our educational structure. Cul ture should come before commerce and we ask the state to make an investment In education that is j worthy of her tradition,” declared Dr. Miller. Other leaders who pleaded the cause of public education were E. T. Best, superintendent of Frank liA county schools, representing the North Carolina Education associa tion; Mrs. W. B. Aycock, president of the North Carolina congress of the Parent-Teacher association; Dr. J. Y. Joyner, former state super intendent of public instruction, and Miss Margaret Karnegay, Goldsboro teacher. Friendship M. P. Church To Have A New Building The people of Friendship M.
