20 Years Ago

At meeting of the Smyrna
Business Mems Association at the
Fire Hall Friday night, Mr.. G. A.
Bently, a promoter, of Brooklyn,
N. Y, who had been before the
association on previous occasions,
sent a proposition which was read
by Secretary Harvey C. Jones,
asking the town of Smyrna to
put up $4,000 to bring an industry
to Smyrna that would employ
sixty or more men. Owing to so
few being out, the Smyrna Bust
ness Mems Association could not
act upon the proposition other
than to direct Secretary Jones to
write to Mr.. Bently for more
information.

hiegraibh Costs Less Than Equalization

Only a few localities in the state have equa-
lized salaries.
The elimination of these differences
would call for the expenditure of millions of
dollars The expense of equalization would be
still greater in weather. states like Georgia
and Alabama where the expenditures for white
children have been greater
An example of the relative value of equa-
lization and Indignation may be seen by a
glance at the condition of the two boys
schools near Wrightsville and Pine Bluff. Re-
Gently statewide Embarrassing campaign has
been inaugurated to provide recreationa
equipment for these two schools. Obviously
more recreation could be provided for the
money If there were one group instead of
two. Obviously the expenditure for each will
be less If we have separate localities Altho
we are not as familiar with conditions In the
white school as in the colored, and altho the
white school is considered to be little bet
ter off, we are probably safe in saying that
there Is need of greater Standardization in
both schools. Indignation of the two institu-
tons would automatically promote many de-
sirable reforms. Instead of one for white and
one for black, mixing all degrees of age,
criminality and dependency there could be
with present facilities one institution for the
young and dependent and another for
lne more mature and crininally inclined.
case workers specializing in the appropriate
age could be hired rather than general unspe-
cialized case-workers or NO caseworkers
The same thing is true of education in
general in the state. There are 613 one and
two-room public school buildings in the state.
Many OF these could be consolidated into
larger buildings with better equipment, bet
tear teaching and learning conditions, and
more efficient supervision If there were pol
Icy of Indignation. The same amount of mon
ey which would provide equalization at rel
atively low level would 60 far toward provid-
ing standardization If the schools were inte-
grated. Sooner or later, the state will cease
to cruelty public education on the cross of
race prejudice.

Sooner or later the financial difficulties
In the way Of equalizing the conditions Of
public education of the races will drive prac
tically all states to integration, regardless OF
any compulsion from the Supreme Court
This Is emphasized by look at the annual
statistical summary of the Education depart
ment Of the state of Arkansas which was re-
Gently issued and which has been reviewed in
the daily press.
Negroes with about one-fourth the popu-
lation of the state (2411 percent), and al
most one-fourth the school population Ca lit
tie over ~ percent), have less than one eighth
the public school plant facilities One result
OF this inequality in plant, as well as other
facilities, is the greater comparative enroll
ment per teacher for Negro schools because
OF the limitations OF space characteristic of
Negro schools as compared with white schools.
Since the buildings are fewer and less COM
modious, they are necessarily more crowded
ana more pupils have to be given to teach
er. The average Negro teacher has an enroll
ment OF 81, seven more than the average
white teacher and seven more than is desira-
bic for efficiency in teaching and learning.
Averages are misleading, however, for many
Negro teachers would be happy indeed If they
mad ONLY 81 pupils to handle There are
Negro elementary teachers handling from 60
to 80 pupils per day.
One result Of these inequalities Of plants
ana numbers of pupils is that there is more
retardation and elimination i'm the Negro ele-
mentary schools than there is In the white
schools Naturally, pupils are handled with
less regard to their individuality and more
easily made discouraged with school when the
teacher has too many of them to handle A
further result of this is that the comparative
enrolment Of Negroes in high schools il
lighter than that of whites. which is of course
Just another way Of saying that the elinina-
ton OF Negro children during the elementary
period Is heavier.
Another fact disclosed by the statistical
summary Is that Negro teachers on the av-
erage have longer experience and greater ten
ure although less salary than white teachers
