In addition to looking like it was

Al only 9.3 per cent of North Caro-

Glass A certificates, which he said
should be established as the accept
ed minimum cert ficate d teacher
could hold. During the current
year, 1946-47, he said. 24.5 per cent
of the teachers hold less than Class
A.
More than 100, 900, children are
being taught this year by teachers
with s~ub-standard certificates" he
said.
Hillman said he thought that ev
cry child should have some men
teachers during their school years,
but he added that men are fast
becomn ny extinct in the profession
In 1940-41, out of a total of 1854
classroom teachers, 2,803 were
men. But this year, he said. out of
a total of 1882 teachers, only l.
945 are men. This represents a de-
crease of 48 per cent in men teach
ers.
According to Eillman's survey
the teacher shortage is most acute
in the upper grammar grades ar.d
in the high school subjects of
science, math, business education,
foreign languages, and home

BILL TO REBATE
GAS TAX ENTERED
M unicipal tiles OF State
Would Benefit Under
Uzzell Measure

RALEIGH, Jan. 21.-H1-A bhl
to rebate state taxes on gasoline
paid by municipalities was intro
duced in the House today by Reps.
George .Uzzell of Rowan and Will
liam T. Hatch of Wake.
Municipalities now pay the state
tax of six cents per gallon on gaso-
line used in fire trucks, garbage
collecting vehicles, police cars and
In other equipment including
engines operating air hammers
used in street work.
Under provisions of the Uzzell-
Hatch bill, a municipal corporation
would get a tax refund upon the
filing Of a statement sworn to by
the mayor, city manager or other
municipal official, showing the
number of gallons of gasoline pur-
chased and used by the munich
paiity.
Cities Complain
For a number of years North
Carolina cities and towns have
complained about paying the gaso-
line tax for fuel used in vehicles
and other equipment operated by
municipalities in off = highway
work. A proposal that municipali-
ties be exempted from payment of
the tax is contained in the 1947
legislative program of the North
Carolina League of municipalities.
League officials said today a
stable savings to municipalities
would be effected by enactment
into law of the Uzzell-Hatch meas
ure.
The bill was introduced as a
proposed amendment to the statute
providing refunds of the tax on
gasoline used in boats. tractors
and for other off-highwav pur-
poses.
