Supf. Richards
Was Chief Speaker ,
At a meeting of the Kershaw j
Ccurty Tcacheis' Association held in (
t'airciii cn January 10th, the topic
for dU'.'UMicn was, "The Relation*
ship of the Teacher to the Cymmunity."
Tin? chief speaker for the ,
morning'was Mr. J. CI. Richards/Jr.,
superWtemier.t of the <^rhden city |
school*. 'Mr. Richards began his ad:, j
dress by acquainting the'members of *
vhe association with the fact that, !
at a mass meeting held at the county (
courthouse on January 8th, the subject
of salary reduction of teacher3 \
was discussed. He said that staunch
friends defended the teachers and ,
prevented the passage of a resolution ,
instructing the county delegation to
vote for a 26% reduction in teach- ,
era' salaries'. Howeyer, Mr, Rich- ,
ards expressed hia?l?ope and belief
that if a reduction ahfculd come, the
memhers of the Inching 'profession
will accept the ty4,'(g;$cefully,
iMr. Richards advanced as reasons
for this proposal in salary reduction:
The present financial depression, the
(failure of some teachers to prove
themselves (worthy of their present
salaries, the lack, of vjsiblo evidence
of the value of schools, the luck of
interest on the part of teachers in
the political and civic affairs ,of their
communities, the failure on the part
of many to become active working
units in their communities.
Practical suggestions, very timely
at this season of financial depression
were made !by Mr, Richards.
In brief they were: *
That teachers sell their schools to
the communities in which they work.
That they work harder than ever
to make themselves indispensible.
That they increase the enrollment
during the months of January and
February.
That they arrange the opening and
closing hours to suit the patrons.
That they establish and maintain
a sympathetic attitude toward pntronx.
,
That they evince interest in and
take an active pant in the political,
civic and religious affairs of their
communities.
Mr. Richards closed his address by
repeating his wish that the right
thing be done and by requesting the
teachers of the county (to use their
energies and to exert their influence
to secure, not 'high salaries, but jut*-,
bice.
