4 SHAPES. lie majority To-Day, now"
ever, enter the more lucrative
field of commercial art. It's true
also, that some industrial geni-
uses have started out as stock
boys, but didn't they have an am
bition worth perhaps millions OF
dollars reckoning them on?
Many people would like to teach.
Many are graduated from colleges
capable Of teaching. But how
many make the choice between
/ the demanding duties of teacher
at low pay and some other field
using their same talents for a
higher price. and choose the
! latter?
Supply Falls Short
It S true now. if it never was
before. but the demand for teach
ers far exceeds the supply AS
the result, lucky few snap up the
openings in Alexandria and Arl-
ington where the starting pay is
$4,000 and communities like ours
have to beg and plead for teach
erS. Even so, Farmville and
vicinity is lucky Those we have
happen to be a generally we'll
qualified type Of person. but not
all small communities and count
les like ours are so fortunate
Need Men Teachers
If We paid better salaries, the
teaching profession generally
would attract more people. and
better people More men would be
interested in becoming teachers.
and children would have the bene-
ut OF male attitudes in school.
The greatest preponderance OF the
profession is composed Of women,
and women are fine But somehow
men seen to have more influence
over adolescent boys and they
bring something special into the
educational atmosphere. AS a case
in point. why is it that. boys prep
schools, that pay more, have
faculties heavily lopsided in the
male direction?
The way it is now. the teaching
profession has lest much of its
prestige. and the low pay is I'M
doubtedly partly to blame. Some
what for women and much so for
men, general public attitude to-
ward teaching is as follows,
Those who can, do. Those who
can't, teach "
The next question is. what can
We do about it? First OF all we
can stop being SO apathetic about
the school situation. so uninter-
eSted. It's vital to every one Of us
who cares about the future. Every
one is SO eager to obtain better
buildings, more equipment for
athletics, instruments for the band
and so on which is all right. too
that no enc bothers to discuss the
plight Of the teaching profession.
Public Interest
improvement in any field starts
right with you. 1t requires your
individual interest. and then the
interest of the community Public
opinion and expression have
brought great changes in the past.
and they Will in the future Public
clamor will eventually reach the
ears Of those who can do some
thing.
1t is up to US to start thinking
constructively about our schools.
The first step in the right direc-
ton is to back the teachers up in
Their demands for higher pay.

UH'sA Question of Pay: Why
Should One Want To Teach?
by Jackie Wall

1t can be truthfully said that
no group Of people have so much
expected of them for SO little. A
college graduate, entering into the
teaching profession for the first
time. receives a salary of $4,000
for nine months here in Prince
2 Edward County. After working fol
II years. the same teacher can
expect maximum salary OF
$1,000.
= Compare that with most any
hody's pay nowadays. It's mighty
l.ttle for someone who has spent
four years IN college, who is sup
posed to live in a decent place,
who is supposed to be living eX-

Beginner Pay
Split the beginning salary of
$4,000 down into months and
weeks For nine months, it means
a monthly salary OF about 1922 or
S55 per week That's the gross pay
for someone who expects to live

year Taken on a yearly basis.

Many Reasons
Why is il so important to raise
the pay OF teachers? Some Of the
answers have been given. There
arc many others.
Some people have the idea that
teachers should teach merely for
the love of it and not for the
monetary compensation Really
now. Is that human nature? How
many people have proved them
selves martyrs to any cause in
the past? True. a few artists have

NEGRO DIES IN.
CHAIR FOR
MURDER OF
ANOTHER NEGRO

NEW ORLEANS - (ANP) -
Eddie Jackson, 48, last week paid
with his life in the electric chair
at the Parish prison for the jan
uary 6, 1852 murder of his COM
mon-law wife, Frances Foster,
IS. Z
Jackson was the fourth Negro
in Louisiana to pay with his life
for the killing of another mem
Der of his race.
For the past Il years, averag-
ing so Negro homicides yearly
making a total of 1850, only four
Negroes have paid the supreme
penalty for killing other Negroes.
Since most Of the Negro homi-
cides occur either inside beer
parlors or outside them, all-white
juries are inclined to think that
Negro murderers of Negroes are
not fully conscious of their afro
cious deeds.
However, the same type of Ne
gro committing the offenses of
rape on a woman of the opposite
race must die in the electric chair,
and to date they number close to
a hundred since 1882.
The Negro press for the first
time in may years was permitted
to witness an execution. The
sheriff, John j. Grosch, after a
conference with AMP correspon-
dent James B. LaFourche last year
promised to lift the barrier against
the Negro press.
