Survey Reveals
Sub-Standard
State Teachers

Almost three-fourths of Mis-
sissippi's schools suffered during
the last year because of teacher
requirements, eighty-six percent
were forced to take sub-standard
teachers in one or more depart
ments, and twenty-six percent of
the instructors have left the pro-
fession entirely, according to re-
cent findings OF the State De-
partment of Education.
The chief cause of the situa-
ton is inadequate salaries, ac-
cording to State Superintendent
j. M. Tubb, who said that eighty
percent of the teachers leaving
the profession did so for an in
crease in pay, amounting to an
average of forty-six percent.
THE supply of qualified teach
r has been diminishing at It's
source for several years and
promises to continue to do 50 UNI
less drastic action is TAKEN" Mr..
Tubb said, "our state must rec
ognize this situation and pro-
vide remuneration in
The school teaching fitld within a
reasonable range of the COMPETE
tive income derived from indus
try"
The study showed that a sub
standard of teachers had to be ac-
eepted primarily in the English,
science, mathematics, vocational
and commercial departments.

Indications are it will be one

there has already been much con-
troversy.
Various church groups and
some prohibitionists have an
nouneed their intention to seek
repeal of the "Blacket Market
Tax on illegal whisky sales.
Another group which also inelud-
es some ardent drys, is planning
a fight to retain the levy and,
if possible, to strengthen it.
There viii undoubtedly be a
bitter fight over a proposed four
year medical college and hospi-
tai program for the state. One
group, with which Gov. Bailey
and former Gov. Hugh White
are allied, want the college and
a large central hospital to train
medical doctors.
Others, like Walter Sillefs,
speaker of the house, contend
the state should first build a
series OF small hospitals scat
tered over the state and let es-
adjustment of a medical college
wait until a time when there
are fewer calls on the state treas
ury.
Huge Surplus
The state Of the treasury il
self is conductive to controversy
as indications are there will be
a $28. 100000 surplus there at the
end of the fiscal year June 30.

to see a large chunk of this

is practically committed to APP
propriate another sizeable chunk

FACTS ON
CANCER

By DIR. JOHN f. MOsELEY, (As-
sistant RadiolOgiSt at Mt Sinai and
Sydenham Hospitals Chairman
Harlem Committee. American Can
Ger Society
The second greatest killer OF
mankind in cancer. If We cannot
save ourselves from physical tor
ment and premature death, our IN
dustrial advances do not help us
much. Leaders of research IN the
field OF cancer believe the greatest
hope for understanding the cause
and cure of cancer hes in the
direction of providing answers to
the following questions.
/. What causes and controls the
growth of the normal living body
cell?
.. Why does body cell growth
get out of control to form cancer?
3. What are the differences be-
tween the normal and the cancer
body cell?
4. What natural defense does the
human body have against cancer;
how can they be strengthened?
5. What influence does diet have
on cancer?
6. What can be done to help the
effectiveness of x-rays and radillm?
These questions and others will
form the subjects OF new investi-
sations. Since cancer is really the
uncomfortable growth OF living
cells within the body, the whole
subject of the growth Of living
things will be thoroughly studied.
