State School Principal Ask
LEGISLATURE To Improve
Educational Opportunities

factors affecting teaching condl-
tons, some of which are salaries
of teachers, training OF teachers
length of school term, transporta-
ton of pupils, availability of schools
and physical facilities within the
schools. 1t is the purpose of this
report to point out some OF the
inadequate conditions facing Ne
gro education in Mississippi, and to
make recommendations to the spe-
cial Legislative Committee appoint
ed by Governor Thomas L. Bailey
to ameliorate or eliminate these in
adequacies. The report will also be
made available to interested and
responsible persons throughout the
State.
PREPARATION OF THIS REPORT
This report was prepared by a
special committee appointed by
President E. S. Bishop of the Mis-
sissippi Association of Teachers in
Colored School. H T. Sampson was
named Secretary of the Committee
and vas given the responsibility of
compiling the report.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
The committee preparing this re-
port fully acknowledges with graft
tude. the many recommendations
and suggestions in behalf of Negro
education coming out of the State
Department of Education. DR.. P.
H. Easorn, Mr.. j. A. Travis and
Superintendent j. S. Vandiver have
worked hard to bring the cause of
Negro education to the forefront of
public attention and legislative ac-
ton. This report is intended merely
to supplement and to accentuate
what has been done.
THE RECOMMENDATIONS ON
THE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL
LEVEL SALARIES:
L. In order to encourage better
trained persons to teach in rural
areas and to regulate the distribu-
ton of qualified teachers over the
State, we recommend that a state
wide salary scale be established
based primarily upon training, eff
cheney and certification.
2. We recommend that the mini
mum salary for any teacher of the
State be not less than $500 per
month.
3. We recommend that the
existing differential between the
salaries OF equally qualified teach
ers in Negro and white schools
doing similar work be completely
eliminated in time. And, that a
definite schedule to do this be
worked out and put into effect be-
ginning with the next biennium
