Teachers Seek !.
Salary Raises and
School Reforms

A broad program OF improve
ment and re4o.m of Mississippis
public school system. including
a schedule of higher pay for
teachers in order to attract more
capable personnel into this iM-
portant field, was discussed M1rs
day afternoon at a regional meet
ing OF the Mississippi Educational
Association at Gulfport High
school.
The program of recommended
tons for expanded facilities in
eludes proposals or wider Sc
lection of text books, more en-
phasis on vocational education,
and establishment o. additional
schools for negroes. 1t viii be
presented at the next session Of
the Mississippi legislature.
The outline was presented at
the meeting by L. o. Todd of De-
catur, president Of the association.
Ii is being discussed at a series
OF similar meetings of the MEA
membership over the state this
week.
The program was designed to
reform public school conditions
existing in many parts of the
state-among them Paseagoula-
in which many teachers instruct
ed with the vital training of chill
dren are paid an annual salary
smaller than garbage collectors
and city laborers.
MI. Todd pointed out that the
schools system were simply not
able to hire enough high type
personnel under these circum-
stances. In recent years, he said,
rs of every 100 teachers quit the
profession annually sixty percent
Of those leaving going into bust
ness and industry, 30 percent to
home duty, and five percent in
the armed forces, and three per
cent inactive.
The report continued: Data re-
vealed that % percent of the re-
placements in the schools during
the past two wears were not emo
tionally stable OF we'll adjusted"
70 teaching. Mr.. Todd said only
through higher schedules and
general modefnization Of the
schools system could more eff
eient people be attracted into
teaching work.
With regard to institutions o!
higher learning, the report sad
Mississippi appropriates less than
half as much money as any o. is
neighboring states for the purpose
of higher education. The approx
mate1y $4,000, 900 which will be
requested of the legislature for
the support Of the University and
colleges will go. in the main, to
be used TO increase teacher sal
aries. to reduce fees, and offe
additional courses needed by vet
us.
The association commended a.
least 100000 additional money
will be needed to provide voea-
tienal education to any consider
able number of high school youth
o the state.

Future Of Industry and County
Are Iniertwined. Hammeit Says

Stressing that industry can
not progress in the smaller COM
munities without community's
help and that the community
cannot prosper without the help
Of industry, Earl R. Hammett,
Comptroller of the ingalls, Ship
building Corporation, predicted
10 the Moss Point Rotary Club
Yesterday that Jackson County
has a bright future II industry
and communities unite into one
large working group.

and resoureefulness of many to
obtain the full benefit of what
already has been established in
this county," MI. Hammett sand.
The emergency is over. The
postwar building period is here"
he said. at is industry's respon-
sibility to see that its operations
are Fundamentally sound, watch
costs and production, and pro-
vide the best of working condi-
tions.
Approximately As percent of
the cost of a ship is wages and
salaries. Therefore the efficiency
Of the employees can be the dig-
ference in getting or not getting
new business"
To attain this necessary eff
cheney, industry must have a
high grade OF skilled workers,
Mir. Hammett said and pointed
out that this type skill is gem
orally not found among float
ers' but among groups who want
homes, churches, good schools
and the finer things of life.
Mr.. Hammett said that it cost
Inballs approximately $500 to en-
ploy and train a new worker
and that last year the turn
over of employees was 10000
at a cost to the company of S.
100000. This year the turnover
will be approximately 1000. he
said.
This item of expense is tre-
mendous and unless our turn
over of labor can be reduced, it
will have a tremendous bearing
on getting new business" he
said.
Dual Responsibility
ut is therefore imperative
that industry and the commune
ties unite to provide adequate
schools, churches, recreation,
doctors, hospitals, stores, and
houses" he pointed out.
"a lot has been done but is
1t enough?" he asked. 1--WE need
adequate hotels, an improved
transportation system, and more
feereational facilities"
He pointed out that the aver
age payroll for the Ingalls, Ship
building Corporation alone has
averaged S24, coo, 900 per year Tor
the last six years and declared
that 10 percent of it was spent
for essential things o. life. most
of which came from Jackson
County business houses.
The average mechanic in the
ward spends S100 per month for
food, $50 for clothing. SIS for
his automobile upkeep, S12 for

Subsidies Only Alternative.

That leaves subsidies as the only
means now in sight for giving the
packers the larger operating margin
they insisted unanimously they
must have if their business is to
survive.
Confronted with conflicting data
and claims about how many pork
chops and hams you can get out of
s14 hog, the committee finally put
it up to the packers and the OPA to
try to come to some agreement on
what is fair margin between what
the packer has to pay for live animals
ana what he can get for the meat.
AS for the prospects for more
meat, Senator Wherry, Republican,
of Nebraska was one who said the
supply can be increased by adjusting
ceilings to encourage ''feeding"-the
branch of the livestock industry
which engages in buying thin range
cattle and pen-feeding them to put
on 300 to 500 pounds more weight.
That was the stand, too, of the
American Farm Bureau Federation
Livestock Committee in Chicago. A
statement issued by Chairman Fran
els johnson after a three-day meet
ing said, 1.-THE only remedy is tc
raise ceilings on finished beef to
enable the feeder to at least come
out even"
If that were done, the statement
said, additional thousands of range
cattle would be put into feed lots
where they would put on from zoe
to 300 pounds of gain, thus increas-
ing the amount of available beef fol-
consumers within three to five
months"
Says Officials Guessed Wrong.
The committee said OPA erred in
placing low ceilings on better grades
of beef in relation to poor grades. II
added that Government officials
acted in good faith when they
asked farmers to cut hog produc-
ton, but they made bad guess. -
THE thing consumers should re-
member is that the reason they dc
not have enough pork and beef to-
day is that Washington officials
planned it this way"
The Senate committee recess
found congressional food attention
switching overnight to the House
wing, where special seven-membei
committee headed by Representa-
tive Anderson, Democrat, of New
Mexico called an organization meet
| ing this morning. Mr.. Anderson
already has announced plans te
visit number of large cities te
survey the food situation at first
hand.
Just before the Senate Commit.
tee recessed, Senator Wherry de.
clared he was informed that 80 pei
cent of all meat sold in New York
City goes through the "black mar.
ket" at a price of above 40 cents
a pound. He asked Mr.. Brownlee /,
he did not think that under those
circumstances price controls should
be lifted.
II don't know where you got this
information" MIR. Brownlee replied
"but I doubt that 80 per cent oil
meat sold in New York is on the
black market"
