1t must be comforting thought

had no mental barrier to hurdle in

colleges and who also have eight
or more years of service in North
Carolina schools will receive in
creases of 50 a month.
No teacher, white or negro, who
is not a graduate of such a college
will receive a raise, and no white
years experience will receive a
raise.
Members of the board and the
commission said that the reason
most of the money went to negroes
was to narrow the d%ifferential be-
tween the salaries of the whites
and negroes.
Before the increases today, salar-
les of negroes ranged from $48 to
500 a month. Under the new sched-
ule, the range is from $48 to $106
(only a score or SO negroes re-
ceive as low as $48.)
Before the increases, salaries of
white teachers ranged from $50 to
$126. The range under the new
schedule is from $50 to $128.
Lloyd Griffin, executive secretary
of the commission, estimated that
the $6-a-month raises would apply
to 5,375 of the. states 1000 negro
teachers, and that the $2-a-month
raises would apply to 7,400 of the
is, 900 white teachers.
Raises for principals r reflect
ed entirely in additional allowances
for school buses. In tn epast, princi-
pals received allowances of $3.50
for each bus which served their
schools. Under the new schedule,
they will receive 81 a bus.
The salary for superintendent
provides some raises and some cuts
but none of the cuts will become
effective during the terms Of sup
erintendents now holding Office.
The new salaries for superintend-
ents in some of the city and county
administrative units follow:
