TEACHER URGES
FEDERAL AID
Only Solution F o r
The South

Washington - (CNS) - ut Is
quite evident that the only ade-
quate solution of Negro education
must come through Federal Aid
under which all parts OF the coun-
try would share more equitably in
this responsibility" says Professor
Mabel Carney of Teachers College,
Columbia University.
Professor Carney has just COM
pleted survey of educational con-
ditions in Southern States.
Declaring that the South, due to
It's low per capita wealth, is not
entirely to blame for the unfair"
conditions which prevail in it's
educational system, Professor
Carney pointed out that the educa
tional opportunity of Negro chill
dren. measured by expenditure,
arranges from about one-half 10
one-ninth of that for white chill
dren in nine out of eleven South
ern States.
1.-THE average current expendi-
ture per pupil as a whole in ore
year was $S7.22 per child" she re-
vealed. 1.-THE average expenditure
per white child enrolled in the
Southern States for the same year
was $44.31. For Negro children the
comparative figures was $12.57.
For the United States as a
whole the per capita wealth in
1880 was $3.0Os. For the North and
West, or non-South, it was $4,000.
But for the South it was rly
S1,7S5.
"From this 1t is evident that the
only adequate solution of the Ne
gro education problem must come
through Federal aid under which
Ill parts of the country would
share more equitably in the large
responsibility"

New York Negro labor H. many
sections of the South is being

Advancement OF Colored People.
The most widespread practice is

reported. Nevertheless, the whites
in the county expect a return OF
prosperity despite the lack of pur-
chasing power among nearly half
the population of the county.
Employers Discriminate
In Birmingham, Ala, 1000 retail
grocers have drawn up a code
which provides minimum waRs

and delivery boys.
In Arkansas white farmers arc
reported as sending their sons to
the Civilian Conservation camps
where they receive $50 a month
and hiring Negroes to do the farm
work at $40 and SIS a month.
At Washington, industrial lead
ers continue to submit codes for
approval which either state plain
ly lower wage for Negroes or
hide it under North-and-South
wage scale.
At the hearing on the soft coal
mining agreement a basic wage
scale OF 81 a day in the South and
Sc a day in the North was proposed
John l.. Lewis, mine union presi-
dent, urged one scale for all.
Meanwhile no provision has been
made for much needed improve
merit in the fortunes of domestic
workers.
Members of the Labor Advisory
board are reported as being
sympathetic to the appointment OF
a Negro member and such an ap-
pointment is being considered by
MIRA executives. but no action has
been taken to date.
