Students To Benefit From Health
Scholarship Program To Teachers

School age youngsters are the
ones that will gain the most from
scholarships given by the South
side TB Association. Although the
scholarships are made available
t. two teachers from each Of the
nine counties in the Southside TB
Association, it IS the children who
ultimately receive the benefit.
The scholarships OF $50 each
are made available from the
funds received from the annual
sale OF Christmas seals. The
scholarships are. offered to one
white and one colored teacher
from each county.
Miss Edith Stitt, health edu-
cation and physical education
teacher from Charlotte c. HI, re-.
Gently reported to the TB AS
sociation's board of directors on
her three weeks study at the Uni
versity of Virginia, aided by the
scholarship grant.
The course covered Func-
tional Health Teaching in the
public schools. Miss Stitt re-
ported. She stated that many
topics and means Of ADVANCING
Health Education were studied,
among h m. prescriptions,
films, reports from specialized
field workers, ard trips to IL
spect schools of training. A dis
cussion of health problems and
sSlutiCcs was included in the
study course.
AS her special project, Miss
Stitt developed a unit Of instruc-
ton for eighth grade students in
health education. Most children
arrive in the eighth grade with
but little education or basic
health understanding she ex-
planned. MY study covers the
basic facts in health education,
upon which the student can build
in the upper grades. She intends
to put her outline to practical use
this year with her, eighth grade
classes.

first three months averaged
80 cents an hour, precisely
the same as the average in the
first quarter Of 1859. This COM
pares with an average of 9.3
cents in the first quarter OF
1858, the bottom of the last
recession, and with 1912 cents
in early 1857. when we were
near the peak of that boom
cycle.
The trend in average cash
wage increases therefore is
steady to down. Against this
years economic background
the average pay rise shows UP
as moderate, noninflationary.
Only 40 per cent of the
quarters pay rises topped 10
cents an hour. again the same
percentage as in the first quar-
ter of 1859. In 1858 the figure
was Al per cent. and in 1857,
81 per cent. The breakdown
adds weight to the evidence
that wage increases in 1860 are
more moderate than in any re-
cent year.
The conservative estimate is
that the annual rate of rise
in productivity is 21a to 3 per
cent in most instances. The 8
cents an hour wage rise figures
out to about 3 per cent. The
rapidly rising efficiency of ma
chimes and manpower may
raise the productivity rate
much higher this year-per-
haps by as much as 6 per cent.
Boosts Can Be Absorbed
Even if productivity doesn't
increase by as much as antici-
pated, the comparisons indi-
cate that corporations in gen.
eral can absorb the pay in

today.
Mr.. Burns said sales mounted

tracts signed in the first quarter
provide for pay increases in
1861. In 1859 only 80 per cent
included a deferred pay clause,
In 1858, only "a per cent did so.
Thus, wage increases have
been built in for 1861. AS a BNA
ofhcer put it, "The probab bility
is one of every two contracts
signed in 1860 will guarantee
pay increases in 1851" The
implication is our economy will
be bolstered by rising personal
incomes next year.
More than one-third of the
contracts added or revised in

OF contracts involved one or
more benefits, such as pensions.

Overall, is a pattern of

raises, of long-term contracts

point, the Soundest so far of all
