Replies of 11,000 teachers from all
over North Carolina have revealed
that most of the men and women in
the state's classrooms think their sal
aries are insufficient.
More than 10;000 public school
teachers, whose answers are included
in these incomplete returns, told the
State Education Commission that
they cannot maintain a satisfactory
standard of living on their present
pay, according to Commissions Exe
cutive" Secretary, W. H. Plemmons.
The poll was made as part of the
study of the state's school system
now being conducted by the Commis
sion. Other questionnaires have been
sent to school officials, parents and
citizens all over , the state. Results
will be analyzed by the Commission
before it makes its report on the
school's strength and weaknesses to
the Governor and the 1949 General
3,000 teachers answering the
poll said that a 30 per cent increase
in salary is necessary. Another 2,-,
000 set the raise at 40 per cent, and
more than 2,0Q0, others would ask
for double their present pay. Only
191 teachers in North Carolina would
be satisfied with 10 per cent more,
and 864 would like to. see an 80 per
cent raise.
More than 8,000 of the teachers
agreed that the salary for teaching
in a rural school should be the same
as that paid in a city school.
Nearly all of the teachers believe
that they should attend state author
ized professional meetings without
loss of salary when substitutes are
available. About 6,000 teachers said
that expenses of teachers on such
occasions should be paid.
Some 8,000 teachers say it would
be "practical and desirabW' for them
to take every seyenth year for study
or improvement.
Results of a similar questionnaire
answered by representative' citizens
of North Carolina are being tabulat
ed, and will be announced within the
next few days.
