TEACHERS OPPOSE
SALARY SCHEDULE

Fifteen reasons why the teach
ers Of. New Hanover county do not
endorse the proposed salary sche
dule made by the State Board o.
Education to the Advisory Budget
Commission have been released by
Mrs. E. T. Hinnant, legislative
chairman of the local unit OF the
North Carolina Education Associa.
ton.
The main objections of the local
teachers seem to hinge around the
method of increasing salaries. A
teacher with an A certificate but
with no experience. under the pro-
posed schedule, won't receive a
1927 percent increase over what
she is now receiving, and one who
has been teaching for nine years
would receive only As per cent
increase over her present salary,
the percentage decreasing proper
tionately each Of the nine years.
In their objections, the teachers
bring Up the question Of which
is more valuable a teacher who
has had no experience or one who
has?''
MANY schools are either short
OF teachers or have teachers with
emergency certificates because
teachers are forced to accept bet
ter paying positions to meet their
obligations.
''If a greater premium is not
placed on experienced teaching,
more teachers will be leaving the
schoolrooms.
1.-The maximum salaries as pro-
posed by the State Board are not
enough to induce others to join
the profession.
Even with the present bonus,
which expires with the year 1914,
the salary will not buy as much
as the lower salaries Of the last
depression.
IN. c. has a large surplus and
is able to pay her teachers more.
Even maximum salary under
the proposed plan will still n o t
give the highest paid teacher $500
per year.
More local teachers than ever
are being hired because superin-
tendents realize out-of-town teach
ers can't afford to pay room and
board.
Banks and other organizations
always flood teachers with loan
propositions because, they know the
teacher doesn't make enough to
''tide her over" during the sum-
mer -.
1T is sounder to work for a
substantial base pay than to mere
ly hope for" another bonus.
"a bonus lasts only during the

ACTIONS ORDERED

dered IAN immediate investiga-
tom of charges that the CLOS
political action committee violated
criminal provisions of the anti
strike law by seeking ito influ-
ence, if not control, the 1914 cleo
tons"
The charges were made by Rep.
Smith D.-Va.) co-author Of the
labor disputes act, in a letter to
the Justice Department. There was
no comment Immediately from the
committee but in the past it has
taken the position that its general
political and educational activity
cannot legally be prohibited in
view of the Constitutional guaran-
tees of free speech, press and as
senbly.
Smith timed the letter with in
PRODUCTION of a bill which would
deprive wartime striking union
of it's legal status before the NLRB
and withdraw the protection given
unions as such by other Federal
legislation. He said he offered it
as substitute for President
Roosevelt's request for national
service law.
