DENNY SPEAKS TO
 SUPERINTENDENTS
tContinued From Page Five)


 observation has been that teachers in all classes of schools are intensely human. Yet it is not true that it is the spirit of our public school men to get out of the work more than they put into it. l be- Iieve that our public school teachers and officials are receiving, in proportion to their merit and their service, the smallest financial reward of any class of men serv- ing the commonwealth. There is not a single article in this room that is made by labor skilled or unskilled, that has not a greater average reward. If I want ed to earn money in the field of education, I should frankly choose the private school rather than the public school as my field of service.
 Duplication of Effort
 "There is, I believe, absolutely no Ground upon which to base the charge of extravagance concerning the administra- tion of public education in Alabama, though we must all agree that there is a certain duplication of effort that involves waste and needs correction. This defect is, however. largely a heritage from the past I shall refer to it in greater detail later on. The fact is that so far from any extravaganza in administering our school system. the great trouble is that we are compelled at every turn to make one dollar do the work of three. This is particularly true in the case of the com mon schools, where the strong adminis- tration of Superintendent Willingham is under the necessity of practicing the largest degree of financial economy, con sistent with any reasonable degree of ed ucational efficiency. It is also true of our tax supported colleges. Consider for ex- ample. the status of the University of Alabama. say without hesitation that . there is no parallel to our financial situa- 1, tion in any other equally well established American commonwealth. It is fact that the great state of Alabama is ap- propriating by legislative enactment to the University of Alabama only s25,oU pe1 sannum for the maintenance of it's college ef arts and sciences. its college Of engi-
