Alabama Adopts Equal
Minimum Pay Scale
For School Teachers

NEW YORK--News has reach
cd the National Association for
the Advancement Of Colored Peo-
pie that the State Of Alabama on
February 20 adopted an equal
minimum salary scale for white
and Negro teachers in the state,
Unless the action is examined
closely, the impression is created
that Negro and white teachers are
now drawing the same salaries,
but this is not the case.
The truth is that all teachers,
both Negro and white, now start
at the same salaries. but above
this equal minimum, there are
still the huge differentials in fa-
vor Of white teachers.
According to an announcement
from Montgomery, Ala, Febru-
ary 90, the state allotted about
100000 out lof a sum Of $500
600 to Negro teachers for the
purpose of bringing them up to
the minimum. The remaining
$500, 900 went to white teachers.
In concrete terms, this action
BY Alabama means that whereas
a Negro teacher in the first rank
formerly had minimum oi
S63.75 a month, he now has d
minimum Of $40 month, and in
crease Of S6.25.
White teachers IN the first ranl
used to begin al $50. They nov

by DR. Fred l.. Adair', said Miss
Briscoe, was designed to compile
ment the "Children's Charter"
drawn up by the famous White
House Conference on Child Health
and Protection, some time ago.
The two charters apply to mo-
theirs and children everywhere

Under the SUI vision CT Ruth
C'Brien, Chief of the Division C4
Textiles and Clothing.
Young's designs are produced on
a modern full-fashioned knitting
machine at the Research Center,
and undergo severe laboratory and
field" tests for we3rability, wash
ability and appearance. He reports
these new designs will eliminate
much cf the long standing preju-
dice against cotton stockings, and
predicts that their durability and
lesser tendency to 'snag' end
run" will make them popular
with American women. Cotton
stockings are used extensively
by women in England for after
noon sports and street wear.
According to 1910 surveys. 80
per cent of the 1920 full-fashion~
ed knitting machines in the U. S.
are suitable for knitting cotton as
well as silk, but only At per cent
can handle nylcn yarns. EaSi
year, American women purchased
more than 43 million dozen pairs
of fashioned stockings. If
these were aue from cotton. ii
