School Board View

!. The Board OF Education re.
quested a total appropriation of 49,
429, $50 from the county. 1t is esti-
mated that another 81 ,231 ,036 will
be received from the State.
2. The school budget provides fol
teacher salary increases which would
bring the county average up te
$4,015.42.
3. The Montgomery scale shoulc
not be compared with counties gen.
orally because Of Its large suburban
area and proximity to the Nations
capital" Average pay is in line
with comparable areas" of the East
4. The school authorities know ol
no understanding" last year for any
salary scale other than the one
adopted. Not until recently has the
Board Of Education heard discussion
about any other scale.
5. The school authorities do not
claim that Montgomery teachers are
underpaid. The salary schedule was
fashioned deliberately to attract
well-qualif1ed teachers of experience
in order to improve instruction and
thereby give the county one OF the
best school systems in the country
In employing teachers last year,
commitments were made for regular
salary increases. The county must
now keep faith by fulfilling its
promises. 1t Is not for the school
authorities to pass on the salary
scale for county employees in other
departments of the government.
8. The high quality of instruction
demanded by the people Of Mont
gomery can be provided only If the
rate of teacher pay Is sufncient to
attract the best.
Z. The average increase in teacher
salaries next year would approximate
$500 under the School Board budget.
Only three teachers-with IS years
experience-would receive the maxi
mum increases OF $500.
8. At $4,000 sufficient new teachers
cannot be procured. While it was
first believed so more teachers would
be sufficient, a recent survey shows
that approximately SO more instruc-
tors will be needed for the estimated
increase of $500 in enrolment.
8, Since the board feels honor
hound on pay raises, Mr.. McNayr's
budget would not leave enough
money to continue all phases Of the
present school program. 1t will have
to eliminate kindergartens, music,
art and physical education classes
in elementary schools. driver train
ing, counselling and library services.
10. The Board of Education is not
afraid" of the teachers; rather, 1t
recognizes that they are within their
rights in insisting on the increments
promised. In effect. the board feels
they have an "air-tight" case.

ported that Scott stole and forg-
ed government subsistence checks
belonging to other exc. rs

said, "to assume the responsible
ties of administrative duties are
at premium. We must see to it
that Negro girls, now in school
prepare for this type of work"
Clerical, sales and managerial
positions will be available for some
time to come and, due to its great
employment turnover, industry
will need skilled, semi-skilled and
unskilled labor. In the service oc-
equations, the, number of work
ers is growing steadily and there
is much need for new interpre-

skills and human relations in
volved in wark in this field.
"The service occupations are

Atty. wilkins, prominent Chic

speaker at Asbury Methodist
Church last Sunday, challenged
the men Of all churches to COM
bine their efforts to put into eff
feet the brotherhood of man and
combat the worlds evil OF dis
elimination which threatens to
engulf Christian nations.
The Negro problem is not only
Americas greatest failure, but
also Americas incomparably
great opportunity for the future.
The wars end will usher in a
new or more conception of hui
man society when white imperial
ism walks the plank in many
parts of the world. This war with
all of its political, economic and
theological implications, is but
an incident in a long continun-
ing struggle by humanity's mass
es toward a wider justice for all,
regardless of nationality race or
color.
In. this movement, the world
looks to the United States as
its leading democracy. It is a
shining example, yet America
cannot fulfill this destiny with a
perfect rotten racial situation at
home. Any honest person must
admit that there is practically no
difference between Hit1er's pre-
achments against the Jew and
American contentious relative to
the alleged inferiority of the Neg
TO.
There can be no lasting peace
until the ruling nations of the
world can shake off the loath-
some disease of tace prejudice.
Race prejudice is no inherent in
human nature nor does it root
in the principle of self preserva-
ton of the Western Nations of
the world. 1t has been built up
through centuries of experience
in the exploitation of man by
man. It's kernel is obviously self
interest, but self-interest in a So
ciety which makes pretense of
ethical principles can never be
