A new survey on the employ
ment of Negro teachers in the New
York City public schools by the
Teachers Union reveals that no
appreciate change has taken place
since an earlier survey conducted
by the Union in 1851.
The new survey, based on figures
from 245 Of the city's schools, has
found that only $50 of the staff
and only 1.9H of the regularly
appointed teachers are Negroes.
The study also showed that an un-
duly high proportion of the Negro
personnel are still in the disad
vantageous category of "substi-
tutes;" and that Negro teachers
still are concentrated in areas of
Negro population. The 1851 sur

GENERAL RESULTS OF SURVEY

Negro Teachers Are Concentrated
In Areas of Negro Population
The segregated character of much
Of the New York City school sys-
tenn is emphasized by the geogra-
rhical distribution of the Negro
teachers.

Elementary and Junior High

Manhattan surveyed 1855; Total Ne

Negro & Puerto Rican student
body SO; Negro teachers in these
schools 402.
AS indicated in the above table,
87R of the Negro teachers en-
ployed in the Bronx, Brooklyn and
Manhattan elementary and junior
high schools included in the sur
vey are in schools with large
Negro and Puerto Rican student
body.
The Supreme Court decision out
having segregation in the public
schools has rewakened interest in
the need for program of desegre-
cation of the schools of the North
as we'll as in the South. The prob
lem has many facets in New York
City, as has been revealed by
studies made by DR.. Kenneth Clark,
Director of the Northside Center
for Child Development, the Teach.
ers Union, etc. In the area of
personnel, the Teachers Union
deems it imperative that the Board
Of Education develop an effective
program to attract a larger num-
Der of Negro and Puerto Rican
teachers to our schools. 1t must
take positive steps to break down
the present unbalanced distribu-
ton of Negro teachers. 1t must
work out policy of assignment
which will give all the children
the democratizing experience of
having teachers representative of
the whole community. The pres
ent situation in which the ma
jority of white children go through
their entire school career without
ever having had Negro teacher,
or perhaps never even having seen
one, must be remedied.

Major Leagues
Are Exhausting
Supply Of Negro
Baseball Talent

NEW YORK, April % - The
MAJOR leagues are rapidly exhaust
ing their supply of Negro base
ball talent by weakening the Me-
gro professional leagues, asserted
Brooklyn Dodger star Roy Cam
PAMELA, in an article in the cur
rent issue of SEE Magazine, re-
leased today.
The major leagues have already
taken the Cream of the crop"
from the Negro pro leagues. Cam
PAMELA declared in the article.
That was the one solid source of
Negro talent"
SEE quotes Campanella as say
ing; The Negro leagues are in
trouble now because the colored
fans have shifted their interest to
major league colored stars"
Campanella's remarks were made
IN answer to a query from the
magazine on the subject, "Will Ne
groes Dominate Baseball?" Other
baseball figures who commented
included Branch Hickey, Frank
Lane, and Jackie Robinson.
Branch Hickey, boss of the Pitts
burgh Pirates, said that all he
wants is IAN excellent team" in
Pittsburgh and eff such a team
would win, I'd be proud of it if
every player on the club was an
Eskimow
The future of Negroes in base
ball doesn't need any more spec
lal attention than the future of the
men of any other COLOR" Hickey
added. THE future of the Ameri-
can Negro in baseball will take
care of itself"
Frank Lane, General Manager
of the Chicago White Sox, pointed
out that the ratio of population
between white and Negro in this
country makes it nearly impossi-
bic" for the Negro to dominate
major league baseball. There just
aren't enough Negro boys COM
pared with white lads to have
teams mostly made up of Ne
groes," Lane stated.
Jackie Robinson, the first play
er to break the color barrier in the
big leagues, agreed that the Ne
gro will not dominate baseball.
THE number of Negro players in
the majors can never compare with
the number of whites" he told
SEE, because at most there is a
relatively small number of colored
kids playing the game as compared
to white youngsters"
Campanella told the magazine
he believes the Negroes developed
in the pro leagues have been bet
ter players genrally than many
experts expected, but the saturation
point has been reached, and now
the majors will have to go to the
sandlots and colleges to find Me-
gro stars of the future.
New developing grounds have
to be made for the young Negro
ballplayer," Campanella said in
SEE. "There is real groundwork
to be done, and it's going to take
hard work and patience"

ed as it was in 1951-about 32t

tary and junior high schools and
u 2c in the vocational and aca-
demic high schools.
1t is to be noted that in our city

plete survey of the city's schools
would have undoubtedly shown
even a smaller percentage of Ne
gro teachers, for the schools not
included in the survey were for the
most part in areas notorious for
their lack of Negro teachers.)
In the high schools the situation
is even more shocking: only O.84R
of the staff are Negro teachers,
both appointed and substitutes; u
of &c are appointed.
Of a total of SO academic and
vocational high schools, 20 had
NO NEGRO TEACHERS AT ALL:
in the total of 1872 elementary and
junior high schools, 80 HAD NO
NEGRO TEACHERS.
A Large Percentage of Negro
Teachers Are Substitutes
