Writes On State’s
Teacher Dismissals
BY E. B. PALMER
•X herewith submit my per
sonal views In response to the
hypothetical case which was
posed during the Morganton-
HendersonvGle trials which was
as follows:
"Given two teachers both of
whom finished the same school
with very identical records, and
who basically have very simi
lar other qualifications and ex
perience backgrounds, and; giv
en one is White and the other
Negro, and; given the Super
intendent is Negro, which teach
er is likely to get the position?’*
Given two teachers of oppo
site races, and given equal
qualifications and experience
rating*, the selective criteria
may be on a basis of some
other factor such as personali
ty, appearance, etc., but never
"RACE."
We do not need to probe
the minds of men, their ac
tion be-ape&ks their thinking.
Yes, current legal laws exists
which provide an opportunity for
certain rights and responsibi
lities to be guaranteed free men.
However, the very reason for
which we have been in court
session evidences the fact that
there are men of niave charac
ter who would circumvent the in
tent of existing laws and foster
pr&ctoces contrary to those
laws. Such is the case of those
who are following the pattern
of arbitralrly displacing Negro
teachers under the guise of
selecting teachers on the basis
of competency and qualifica
tions,
Since some men of unethical
character would not practice
the good intent of the Civil
Rights Act of 1964, the Negro
is placed in & position to call
upon the just and humane think
ing of the Judges who preside
and rule to these cases and
the courts in which they are
held.
The consistent pattern of Ne
gro teachers being dismissed
in North Carolina as a result
of student re-assignment and
the abolition of the dual school
system seems to suggest th®
premise that there are no In
competent white teachers and
that all Negro teachers are less
competent than any white teach
er. The question of the op
portunity of Negroes to receive
a comparable education In Ne
gro schools and colleges to that
of whites in the past assumes
the allegation that ail schools
and colleges are inferior to any
whit* school. Although public
facilities and equipment for the
educational training of Negro
pupil® have been inferior In
most iastaaces to that of th®

dedication and performance of

been outstanding. The results
of which have produced Rhode
Scholars and men like Ralph
Bunch, Asa Spaulding, John H.

Thurgood Marshall and many,
many others. There further
seems to exist an opinion that
even though many Negroes have
received a degree(s) from na
tionally outstanding Integrated
colleges and universities, they
are still less competent when
pitted against a white teacher
of similar degree ratings, even
If the white teacher graduated
from a less renown institution
(other criteria is then suggest
ed for discriminating).
The experience of a teacher
Is of prime Importance in think
ing of the development of a sound
educational program. Every
administrator should endeavor
to recruit potentially outstand
ing beginning teachers. Every
administrator Is therefore
hopeful, that they will be able
to develop the beginning teach
er Into a competent experienced
teacher and retain their ser
vices as long as they continue
to show growth. Under present

GET TIPS ON DISHWASHING - Amanda Ambrose, billed

on the womanly art of washing dishes last week to Maurice
McAllister and Wallace Sampson, two members of the popular
Radiants who are learning every conceivable thing they might
be asked to do by the lucky fan who wins them for a day in

North Carolina, with the In
creased supervisory services
provided, the growth of profes
sional teachers is greatly en
hanced.
The notion advanced, "that
when a school year ends no
teacher has a job; and that when
a promising beginning teacher
applies, an administrator is
acting In good faith to dismiss
a teacher with many years of
service and hire the promising
beginner' is a notion of un
ethical essence. When socety
reaches the point - that when
an Individual Is elected to any
professional position and Is dis
missed at the very introduction
of a promising beginner, -then
no man, judge, teacher,preach
er, etc., Is safe to commit
himself to any financial Involve
ment or feel any degree of
security In his employment.
Whether tenure laws exist
or not, social and morale laws
have long established the bind
which should avail men to con
tinuous employment to the age
of retirement as long as their
services are satisfactory. If
our educational system is to
practice anything to the con
trary, then our society will
develop a new and gigantic prob
lem of unemployment, shortage
of teachers and employment

the services of a travel agent,
is the symbol of the American

professional travel agents in the
U. S. and C armada --an or
ganization representing and ad

standards of conduct In the sale
of travel.
