Local Schools Slowly Regaining
Ranking In Teachers Training

ers was less than high school grad
uation. For 193S-39 this average had
risen to three and one-third years
Of college work.
In the same period training of
white teachers advanced, on the
average, from something like one
and one-third years of college
training to three and four-fifths
years college work.
School Facts assigned numerical
values to the training as follows:
100 for one years high school, 200
for two years high school, 300 for
three years and 400 for high school
graduates. 500, 900, 700 and 800
represent one, two, three and four
years college training.
Expressed in that way the pres
ent experience index of all North
Carolina teachers stands at 1865,
with white teachers getting 1875
and negro teachers 1885.
Based on these ratings, the teach
ers Of Alexander county stand at
the head of all county systems in
training, their combined ratings
falling less than three points short
Of a perfect score, with 1913 (its
white teachers have the perfect
score, it's negro teachers rate 1859
Standing out in this record is the
fact that ten years ago Alexan'
der's combined training rating was
S6th among the hundred counties,
showing 1855 for white teachers
(93rd place) and 1853 for its ne
groes (S6th place..
Guilford's county system Gone of
two to maintain it's relative rank
during the decade, the other being
tenth place Stanly) m second
with 1884 (white 794.3, negro
1850.
In third place Cabarrus county
shows one of the big jumps in the
list. Its white teachers now rate
the perfect 800, against 619.7 and
56th place in 1929, while it's negro
rating of 1869 puts it currently in
9th place as compared with 1924
and list place ten years ago.
New Hanover, which led all
county systems of the state ten
years ago has fallen to twelfth
place in the complete standings of
today, despite an advance from
1871 to 1918.

AAA BUDGET CUT
BY HOUSE GROUP
+. R. Calls Budget Director
To White House For
Conference

WASHINGTON, Jan. 27.-R-
The Agriculture departments huge
regular supply bill, pared drastically
by the budget bureau, has been
trimmed still further by a house ap-
preparations subcommittee, MEM
bers reported today.
The bill, scheduled for house o
sideration Tuesday, Is expected to
furnish the sessions crucial test of
congressional economy sentiment
because it involves a variety of
projects popular with many mem
bers.
Meanwhile, President Roosevelt
called Budget Director Harold D.
Smith-his only visitor of the day
to the White House for a confer
ence. There were no details as to
what was discussed but Stephen
r. Early, presidential secretary,
told newsmen the topic was 'budge'
tary difficulties"
Early's statement stirred conjec-
ture over whether Mr.. Roosevelt
talked to Smith about the posi-
bility of restoring funds for two
White House agencies the Ma
tional Resources Planning board
and the office of government re
ports-eliminated by the house last
week-or whether he was concerned
primarily with congressional slashes
already made in part Of his "bed'
rock" budget estimate.

By HENRY AVERILL

RALEIGH, Jan. ~. - North
Cardinals average school teacher
has had three and two-thirds years
college training - in other words
practically all the states teachers
are college graduates with but a
few of lesser training.
Five years ago, the average
teacher training was just short of
three years college work, ten
years ago it was barely above two
years, and as recently as fifteen
years ago the average Tar Heel
teacher had only one year in col
lege to his credit.
These figures, released in the
most recent number of State School
Facts, published by the Depart
ment of Public Instruction., are for
all teachers, white and colored.
Teachers Of both races have shown
remarkable advances in training
during the past decade and a half,
but the progress of the negro
teachers has been even more re-
markable than that of the whites.
For the school year 1923-24 the av-
erage training of all negro teach
