Annual Expenditure Per Pupil

DR.. Paul R. Mort in his study,

shows eleven States expended less less
than SIS pr capita total population for
education in 1880. All of these South
ern States. The per capita expenditu-
re in the several Stats ranged from 81

per pupil of $35.42, Howevr when
expenditure are separted into racial
groups we see that ther was an expen-
diture Of SAIL for each white pupil
enrolled and $12.57 for each Negro pu-
pill enrolled. When these figures are
compared with an expenditure of 500
90 per pupil in the United States as
a whole the inequalities are %astonish-
ing. A comparison of expenditures
over a long period of time in the Sou
thern States shows similar ~inequalit-
les have existed. For example the exp
enditure for each white pupil enroll
cd in these Southern States in 1910
was S9.45 while for each Negro pupil
it was $3.50. A check Of long time
expenditures in South Cav ina shows
that in 1900, $4.06 was sp mt on each
white child enrolled and 81 rs for each
Negro child In Nc, 4 Carrlina me arr
ount was 1927 ler each white child
and $1.68 for each Negro child Thirty
years later South Carolina expended
$500 for ech white child enrolled and
$11.16 for each Negro child. while No
nth Carolina cpent $41.26 and 1857
respectively.
In 1880 Negro population percent
ages in twelve Southern States varied
from To per cent Of the totoal in Okl-
ahoma to 50.2 per cent in Mississippi
The per cent of public school funds re-
ceived tends to be in inverse ratio to
the pc, cent of population. The IL per
cent Negro population in Oklahoma
ceived Sc per cent of all school funds
or 70 cents of each dollar which they
would have received if funds had been
distributed without regards to race,
while the 5O.2 per cent Negro populat-
in Mississippi received only 10 per
cent of the funds, or Fl cents out of
each dollar they would have received
if funds had been distributed without

Despite this effort it would require

Expenditures for Teachers Salaries

A study Of the salaries for white
and Negro teachers reveals about the
same inequalities SIS between total ex-
penditures.In 1880 theaverage annual
salary pad white teachers in eleven
Southern States WIS 1901, ranging
from $715 in Arkansas to $1,546 in
Maryland while the average paid Neg
70 techers in the SINE Sites was $423,
ranging from 1925 IN Mississippi to
1,168 in Maryland. In 1900 the average
annul ~salories paid white teachers in
seve Southern States was 1852, m
ging from $500 in North Carolina to
$421 in MMaryland compared with 81
O6 for Negro teachers, ranging from
$75 in North Carolina to 1925 in Nina
ryland.
Salarie paid city teachers range
much higher than those paid county
or ruari teachers. Reports from six
Southern capital cities show a median
annual salary for 1880 Of 1882 for
white teachers and 1888 for Negro
techer.
Expenditure for teachers salaries in
Louisville, Kentucky shows less diff
erence between white and Negro te-
achers than in any othr Southern
city reporting. Expenditures for salar-
les of white teachers range from $22
% per pupil in average daily attenda-
nee in 1911 to $57.03 in 1888, while ex-

Editorial OF The Week

tn. Norro ord

The Negro and NRA
1t is not surprising that the Ma
tional Recovery Act has not solved
the complicated economic and social
problems that revolve about the Ne
gro. The problems + as old as
the nation and go to the roots of our
thought and life.
Yet conditions today e to de-
mand that employers both In the
North and South face the Negroo
problem more frankly and that MIRA
itself give further consideration to
the claims of those representing Ne
gro workers.
NRA is committed to the principle
az reviying business by increasing
the purchasing power of those who
buv the products of business. There
seems no good reason why it should
ignore IL million Negroes as po-
tential purchasers and consumers
Yet where Negroes are included az
al in the NRA codes the wages specl-
fled for them r uniformly zoe low
to act as a possible stimulus to Dusa-
ness. Many a business in Alabama
and elsewhere might flourish on the
.rade of the Negro, if it were gwen
a chance to do so.
When code revisions occur heA'
,non+b. definite steps should be taken
to build up Negro purchasing power
by providing for higher wages IMAM

Equalization Funds:

t Some type of equalization fund has
been used in the South for a number
Of years, though the idea Of a large
State fund created to eqaulize educa-
tionaioypUrtumties is relatively new
Ten of the Southern States had equ-
~alization funds in 1880 amounting to
more than $4,000, 900 and the amount
has been increasing annually. The
growth Of these equalization funds
is most hopeful to those interested In
equal opportunities for all children
However these fund have been provi-
dtd and distributed under ouch diver
e pans and circumstance that is next to
impossible to determine the amount
going to Negro schools In many
cases the expenditure of these funds
has increased the inequality instead
of diminishing it.

CALiFORNfAS LESSON
From he Omaha World Hearld-MOnday, May Ia, 193Q
Wednesday night near Los Angelts two masked men
Kidnapped from his estate William F. Gettle, a wealthy
oil man. AS they carried him off they answered a friends
remonsrance with the snarl: mo soft stuff. We're here
here for business. This is kidnapping"
This incident reminds one inevitably OF the kldnap-
ing in California last year of Brooke Hart, of his murder,
and of the lyching at San Jose of Harris abductors, to-
gether with Governor Rolphs comment: This is the best
lesson that California has ever given the country We
show the nation that this state is not going to tolerate
kidnapping"
Governor Rolph thus had condoned one of the great
est crimes against society, a crime greater even than kid
nappinglynch law. The truth is now brought home to
him that any concession to violence, no matter by what
,retext, breeds more violence. The war upon k%idnappers
was hurt, rather than helped, by the San Jose %lynching.
California now gives that lesson to the nation. One hopes
Governor Rolph has learned it at last.
