Qualifications For Colored Teachers In
Negro Schools OF Mississippi

OUT AT JACKSON COLLEGE LAST SATURDAY, the
Executive Committee of the Committee of One Hundred for
number OF of the leading organizations the
State interested in the civic betement coored ct
zens, at the call of the Committees chairman Prof
Johnson of Prentss Mississippi held important meeting
and although the cold weather kept the attendance some
what below the usual much interest manifested by
present.
Among several matters which came up for discussion,
were the home for delinquent Negro youth better schools
and salaries and qualifications for teachers in Coored
Schools
Tor discussion during the meeting that of salaries for
Negro school teachers
During the discussion of this question there developed
marked differences of opinion with grou wanting the
Committee to take stand for equalization of the salary of
Negro school teachers in accordance with decisions
of the United States Supreme Court and another taking
stand for liberal increase the salary of Negro teach
the State So marked these differences of op
ions that it be safely said that the close Of the
there complete lack of unamy of opinion purpose
respecting that most important question
On the question of the qualifications for teachers Col
ored schools however there seemed been complete
unity.
In 1888, the legislature of the State passed law fix
ing the minimum qualifications for teachers Negro schools
at ninth grade and the unanimous opinion OF those
attending the meeting to ask the raising OF the minimum
qualifications for teachers in coored schools least High
School level, which question acknowledge the
opinion.
There many obvious why the ninth grade
minimum qualification is too low that hardly feel they
need be mentioned here.
In the very first place. however ninth grade student
lacks the basic quality of spiritual mental and physical
tuy necessary to make good teacher to nothing of
social experience and background necessary seasoned
wisdom and understanding
Moreover, with such low minimum standard prevail
ing the reasonable operation Of the law of selection
vented and hundreds of neither educatonay sp
ltualy, morally prepared permitted to enter this
most vital and important field of labor.
Already lowest down in the States of the Union with
spects standards If Education the future bad effects of
this law system long needing Improvement be
easily
Like the executive committee of the Committee of One
Hundred and with every intelligent Negro parent in Mis-
ssspp join the hope that the present State Legisla
ture will find the time raise the qualifications for teachers
in Cooed Schools for the betemen of its Coored ctizes
and for the future good of Mississippi.

mary purpose of the program was to
invest in defense savings now to
prevent initiation, and finance the
war and at. the same time to Gre
ate reserves of buying power so as
to offset a depression such as fol-
lowed the last war. During this ex-
PLANTATION, Mr. Swayze said that to
buy stamps and bonds today, and
cash them at the first little pinch
meant nothing to the defense saw
ing effort and only muddied the
waters and expressed the hope that
the committee would stress the
idea that investments in defense
saving bonds and stamps should not
be cashed until after the war.
