DR.. P. II. Easom
Addresses The
Tougaloo Faculty

The regular monthly faculty
meeting for February was high
lighted by the presence of DIR. P. H
Easom who was the guest speaker
for the occasion. 1t was the first
time that many of the new faculty
members had ever heard DR.. Easom
concerning the educational prob
lens of Negroes in the State OF
Mississippi.
Many interesting things were
mentioned by the speaker during
the course of his discussion, but OF
particular interest was the ques-
ton of salaries for Negro teachers
IN Mississippi. According to DIR.
Easom practically every county in
Mississippi has increased the sal
aries of all all teachers, Negro and
white, fifteen dollars per month
This is the first time that the state
has granted equal increases to the
two groups. The speaker pointed
out that from now on the increases
should be based upon merit. The
idea of a merit system is based
upon the fact that so many of the
teachers (NegroO in the state are SO
poorly prepared. According to a
survey made by the State Depart
ment, the average teacher was Just
a good third grade scholar. Thus
in order to encourage the better
prepared teacher and to eventually
weed out the unfit, salary increases
will go along with preparation and
competence.
The war has accelerated the need
for more and better basic training.
To this end the schools must put
more emphasis on mathematics and
the sciences. In this particular Mis-
SlppI is far behind.
One of the most revealing fea-
lures of DR.. Easom's talk was that
pertaining to illiteracy. In the
State of Mississippi theer were o.
900 young men of draft age who
were illiterate and 10000 of this
number were Negroes. This means
that heads of families, Negro and
white, will have to take their
places to fill the quota for the
state. It further shows the gross
neglect of the education of the Me-
gro in the state.
These facts, along with many
others are producing rapid changes
in the attitudes of many in the
state concerning the education of
the Negro. The boomerang has hit
the thrower and he has become
conscious of its power of destruc-
ton.

full and loving minister's wife until
his death.
After answering the Lords call
to preach the gospel he served as
a licensed preacher, helping his
father in the time of his illness.
Clark Street called an Ordination
Council to ordain him to the Min
istry while his father was linger-
ing upon his sick bed, so that he
could fully carry out his fathers
pastoral work. At his fathers
death both churches the New Hope
Baptist Church and the Clark Street

spected by all; as a neighbor he
was loved and honored by his
neighbors, as a husband he was
faithful to his marriage vows. AS
a Christian and also as a minister
of the gospel, he kept the faith
and passed on to his great reward
holding services. At HOO o'clock
Friday, February 18, before his
death he conducted the morning
