in the next few days. The petit
tion alleges that Negro teachers
are bing Disseminated against in
the payment of salaries because
Of color and race.
The case will spot light the Woe
fully inadequate, and vastly diff
ferent salaries being paid Negro
teachers in Mississippi. Of the
more than 5000 Negro teachers
in the state, forty per cent are
being paid salaries of from forty
to seventy dollars per month in
five and six month schools.
Mrs. Gates, a Science teacher
in Smith Robinson School, is a
graduate of Tougaloo College, and
has done past graduate work at
the University of West Virginia.
Her salary is around $1,000 per
year. White teachers in the same
field receive from $1,000 to $500
per year.
Observers said here that one
effect of the filing of the Bates
suit may be to hasten the passage
OF the teachers salaries Equaliza-
ton Bill now before the State Le--
gislature.
The Bill would fix the salary
scale or every teacher in the state
in accordance with the teachers
education and experience.
Teachers with an M A degree
or it's equivalent would receive
average annual salaries 0 at least
$1,000. Those with B A degrees
or equivalent would average at
least $1,000.
Teachers with three years col
lege from 1880 to $4,000; with
two years college rom $1,000 to
$1,000; with one year college a
maximum of $500 a year and those
with less than year college
work aferage salaries o not more
than $500.
The filing OF the salary Equal
ization suit was regarded as. the
ore runner of a number OF suits
now being studied, which will be
filed in Mississippi in attempts to
bring about some Improvement in
educational conditions or Negroes
of the state.
Under immediate consideration
and study is a suit for better
school buildinfs. In many counties
in the state, and in some sections
where there exist separate Metro
school districts, where in all the
property owners are Neboees, and
where the taxes paid on such prop
erty is for Negro schools.
Alarge number of Negro schools
are being held in dilapidated
churches and ram shackled frame
structures adequate for school
purposes and human habitation
onlf by the fartherest stretches
Of the imagination.
The outcome of the present case
may be predicted as being in line
with number of other cases in
other states in the deep south
where the final decision, by the
United States Supreme Court has
always upheld the Equalization of
Teachers salaries, without regard
to race or color.

Beauty Hints

SWEET BREATH

Nobody will tell you when
your breath offends. They simp-
ly turn away = shy from you,
back back. Even those who love
you fear to anger you by ever
SO gentle a hint, and SO, you go
on your way driving people away
from you, and wonder why. As a
precaution, brush teeth with soda
water - rinse and gargle with 1t.
Then, see that your bowels are
clear and clean. If then you still
drive your friends away, see your
doctor and dentist. You heed at
tention. BY all means, keep your
breath sweet.
