Editorial
TEACHER SITUATION

You are too familiar with the over
crowded condition of our school plants
in Columbus county, and more partlcu-
larlv in Tabor City, for anyone to re-
neat the story. Teachers overloaded
with students and teaching IN plants
that have either been condemned OF
ought to be condemned; principals,
teachers and drivers struggling Win
buses that ought to have been IN the
junk-yard long ago.
But there isn't any object IN US
raising our voices in denunclatlon OF
these conditions. They are the product
of an all-out war in defense OF our
school system and the American way OF
life.
Shortages of materials and labor
have made it impossible for county and
state authorities to remedy the sltua-
ton. You can appreciate what l mean
when I tell you that we are ready to
build tobacco redrying plant In Tabor
CITY that might easily add another five
million dollars to the business life OF
this community, but the earliest possible
delivery date on equipment is the middle
of 1913. We are ready to place traffic
LIGHTS to control the flow of traffic with
in the business district, but II months
or longer is the earliest promised de-
livery date.
So | emphasize that there is no pur-
pose in condemning the authorities for
failure to erect new buildings tomorrow.
There are only two things we can do:
No. bend our knees in prayer
that no fire will send some of our child
rem to an early death and that no puff
of strong wind will topple our condemn
ed buildings to a mass of rubble.
No. 2-Set in motion program that
will relieve this condition as early as
material and labor conditions will allow
Such move has been initiated. And
here is where we can help. Our every
effort must be put forth during the
months ahead to see that the bond cleo
ton is called and that the favorable
vote reaches the polls. We must inaug-
urate program to educate the voters
to the vital necessity of accepting this
proposal. 1t must not fail if there is
to be any fully developed program of
education tomorrow.
For the most dangerous threat to
our education tomorrow there is and
has been remedy. There is no excuse
for car nigG:, oily treatment OF the

school teacher.

It is tribute to the adaptability OF
American womanhood that good teach
ers have been produced out OF thousands
who had no real interest in teaching
when they entered the profession and
who certainly could not have been at
tracted by the salary paid. I repeat that
it is a tribute that so few teachers are
the type who are interested only in the
mcnthly voucher.
But I tell you now, that in our pro-
gram of education tomorrow we can
not and we must not leave this to
chance. The people Of North Carolina
must demand adequate compensation Tor
those charged with the responsibility
of training the citizens of the future.
The implications Of the present teach,
er situation is tragic. The cream OF
the teaching profession is being SKIM
med by business and industry, ana
thousands of sub-standard teachers are
in the class-rooms of North Carolina
schools. And the better educated, the
real teacher material is not coming IN
TO replace the elder teachers who are
being forced to leave the profession.
You are aware of the dark age into
which we are placidly moving. ~ base
ball team may easily fit a rookie into
an aggregation of veterans, but when
there are nine rockies on the field there
is a sub-standard baseball club. And
that is where we are heading.
IF the trend is not halted now, and
T mean now, we shall see a majority OF
minor leaguers trying to play in major
league park.
The altruistic hooey that women are
in the teaching profession just because
thew want to serve humanity is being
disproved now. You and [ never be-
lieved it. We know all too we'll that
teaching is a job and that only because
of their fine sense of obligation to the
youth of the country has the profession
made teachers develop into well-quall-
fled instructors who strive to bring
out the best in every child.
Now we face a crisis. We must not
fail. If we as members of civic groups
and as citizens do not demand decent
wage scale comparable with the oppor-
tunities in other professions, either we
shall be faced with poorly trained teach
ers who are incompetent to instruct our
children or the teachers must unite IN
a society to compel respect and con-
sideration in the matter OF compensa-
ton.
1t will be sad commentary upon the
citizenship of our state if they are
forced into such move. But say to
YOU now that never again must teachers
in any county in our state be dragged
down to the level where they must kick
back to a political organization in order
tc hold their jobs; never again must
this profession be allowed to thin It's
ranks through inadequate pay, and new
er again must teachers be forced to beg
and plead for what is rightfully theirs.
Our task as civic-minded citizens is
two-fold: First, to see that facilities
for adequately training our children are
provided, and second, that the pay in
centive is sufficient to keep the finest
men and women within the teaching
profession.
