Teacher Raise
Wins Approval
0fHouse Unit
Subcommittee Boosts
Senute-Pussed Scale
An Average Of 500

The Senate-passed bill raising
the salaries of teachers and Of
ficers in the District school sys-
tenn was approved today by a
House District subcommittee
with amendments and sent to
the full committee for action
next Monday.
The subcommittee, headed by
Representative Abernethy, Demo-
crat of Mississippi, struck from
the Senate bill new classifica-
ton known as Glass C but raised
the Senate-approved salary
scale for virtually everybody
except the superintendent of
schools by $100.
Earned" PHI. ID. Required
The Abernethy group provided
that the superintendent of
schools would get $4,000 with
out a masters degree; $4,000 if
he had a masters degree, and
$4,000 If he had an earned"
doctorate of philosophy. The
subcommittee ordered the defini-
tion of an earned Ph ID writ
ten into the bill.
DR.. Hobart M. Corning, super
intendent of schools, according
to his Office, has the degrees of
bachelor of arts and masters of
arts in English, both from
Dickinson College at Carlisle,
Pa; the honorary degree of doc
tor Of education from Colorado
College, and the honorary de-
gree Of doctor of science from
Dickinson College in 1858.
The largest group of teachers
in the public school system,
known as group A. with the de-
gree Of bachelor of arts or it's
equivalent, was voted by the
Abernethy subcommittee a start
ing salary of $1,000 with a maxi
mum by promotion up to $500.
Senate Maximum $500
This compares with the pres
ent starting salary for these
teachers of $3,440.40 minimum,
a maximum of $5,204.04 and the
Senate-passed figures Of $4,000
minimum, and $500 maximum.
In this group, according to the
Senate report on the bill, there
are 2,054 such teachers.
The teachers pay bill will be
one of several District measures
to be acted on by the House Dis
trict Committee at its meeting
Monday.
The others will include a pay
raise of 71a per cent for firemen,
and for policemen of the Metro
politan, United States Park and
White House forces, and a bill
to encourage an establishment
here again of the small loan and
pawnbrokers businesses.
