the excess Of $50 per child
over ! per cent Of income pay
ments. amounting 10 sl6.980,-
600 from Federal funds.
While New Jersey would get
only IS per child from FEDERAL
funds. Mississippi would get
S2el8 per child.
Aside from the diSparities
between educational oppor-
tunlties for white and colored
children in States which main
tain separate school systems.
there are also great inequali-
ties in educational opportuni-
ties afforded in school districts
within = State.
For example. in Mississippi.
there are $3.50 classroom units
with an average daily attend
snce 81 iSill7 white children
on which the expenditure per
classroom unit ranged from
500 10 more than 81 300. The
highest expenditure per class
room unit for colored children
was $500.
The expenditure per class
room unit on nearly one-half
Of the classroom for colored
children IN Mississippi was
from 500 10 Sle9. and there
are 1868 classroom units for
colored children on which the
expenditure was less than 500
per unit.
The deficiency ineducational
opportunity can readily be seen
when the 500 classroom unit
in Mississippi IS compared with
the minimum Of $500 which
the National Education Associa
ton states IS necessary 10 give
q child a decent education.
II the purpose Of Federal
aid 10 education legislation is
really 10 equalize educational
opportunity, il appears that
Congress should write into le-
gislation which the Barden
subcommittee is considering a
provision requiring the States
to take steps 10 equallze edu-
cational opportunities between
white and colored schools and
among school districts within
State in order 10 qualify for
Federal aid. or Federal assis-
lance should be given TO those
schools where the need is
