Let's Funk The Deodwood

The greatest opposition to the so-called salary equali-
cation program for Mississippi school teachers is being
based on one point that seems incredible in view of who
is doing the opposing-the teachers balk at taking a test
designed to determine their qualifications as teachers.
This, it seems to us, is as brassy a proposition as has
come to light in a long time. The states public educa-
tion system is founded on pouring knowledge into the
heads of our children, then testing them to see how much
they retain. Woe to the child who flunks. If testing is
a good method of determining who is and who is not a
passable student, then it certainly is a good method of
determining who is and who is not a passable teacher.
The examination, prepared by a national organiza-
ton in New Jersey, records a teachers knowledge of child
development, educational psychology, guidance and meas
urement in education, general principles and methods of
teaching, mental abilities, English comprehension and ex-
preston and general culture in history, science and cur
rent events.
After a teachers knowledge has been probed by this
examination. his salary will be subject to either a boost
or a cut. depending upon his success with the test.
Now, who would object to such a method of deter
mining teacher fitness? Only those teachers who know
they are incompetent, of course; only those who feel their
ignorance would be uncovered by the test. Certainly the
more intelligent teachers, confident of their intelligence
and knowledge, would welcome such a method as a means
of having that intelligence and knowledge recorded for
all to see.
Those teachers, the worthy ones, are by their silence
allowing the lowest common denominators among them
to speak for the whole. And the lowest common denom-
inators, of course, want their raises without having to
prove they are worth more money.
We do not deny that many of our teachers are I'M
derpaid. But we firmly believe that teachers-ike black
smiths, aviators and lawyers-should be paid for the value
of the service they render and the knowledge and expert
ence they bring to their duties, not just because they hold
jobs as teachers.

Mayor CGnty Should Resign

This is an editorial that, for several reasons, we dis
like to write.
One is that we understand and s%ympathze with the
failings of our fellow man for the simple reason that we,
like all mankind, are heir to our own full measure OF
failings.
However, a time comes in the course of life, whether
it be that of an individual, a community, a state or a ma
ton, when measures must be taken to halt and turn the
course of adverse events or circumstances to prevent per-
manent and ~irreparable harm.
That time now faces Pascagoula, its citizens and its
mayor, Frank s. Canty.
Because of his personal record since he has taken of
flee on January Ord. this year. we believe Mayor CAVITY
should resign forthwith.
We also believe that If he does not resign. the present
movement to institute a recall election should be pushed
with sustained determination to the earliest possible CON
clusion SO that the people can themselves decide the issue.
We will not 90 into Mayor Cantys personal record in
office. 1t has done little credit to himself or the public
which elected him the same public he is supposed to
represent with all the wisdom and dignity at his command.
We also wish to make plain that our sentiments have
no connection with the assessment raise. Frankly we
don't know of any community that needs assessment equali-
cation more than does Pascagoula. The assessment rolls
have been what might be termed a gravy train" for
many a person for many a year. Equalization Is needed
and we have no quarrel with it. Further, any taxpayer
that disagreed with this years assessment had the right
TO file a protest and be heard.
Neither have we any personal quarrel with Mayor
Canty. We have liked him as an individual, and under
different personal circumstances we believe he could have
made Pascagoula an outstanding mayor. But the City of
Pascagoula is bigger, much bigger, than any one individual
or group of individuals, and when its welfare and future are
threatened by an individual or group of individuals then
measures must be taken by all citizens to protect that well
fare and that future.
We believe that by resigning Mayor CAVITY would
keep faith with the public that elected him. That de-
cision is his to make. We do believe it would be the
best thing to do.
But meanwhile, we repeat, there should be no slack
ening in the effort to secure a recall election. If the sit
uation, in the opinion of Mayor CAVITY or anyone else, in
being unjustly handled then there should be no fear in
submitting it to a vote of the people.

man:
Journalism has its rules, but
like all rules they must be APP
piled with discretion. Today's
lesson concerns the New Or
leans cub sports writer who got
caught offside by crossing up
two rules and committing a
veritable bloomer.
Rule / is that persons men
toned in news copy should be
identified by such terms as
local attorney, nationally
known writer, wisconsin
cheese tester" Rule 2 is that
nobody is glorified on the sports
page with the title mister, Ev-
erybody is good old Al, and if
you can think up a nickname,
so much the better.
Well, our boy covered a box
ing match of the Catholic Youth
Organization one night at which
a spectator was Archbishop
Joseph Francis Rummel, one
of the most dignified clergymen
in the South. The cub ended his
report of the fights with this:
Medals were awarded to the
winners in each class by Joe
Rummel, well known local
archbishop"
Could this have been a mis-
print?

ported last week that two per-
