For that reason the fight that is being waged, not only in South Carolina, but in many other states for high salaries for teachers is of ge“uine importance and interest to the parents of children. " For it is the children, not the teachers who really lose out if the state fails to make a realistic approach to our educational needs. The teachers will solve their own personal financial problems by slipping away from the teaching profession and i“to something they can at least make a living wage at, or by moving into some-state 'where the value of education is better .realized. Inadequate salaries beget inferior and inade quate teaching. As a result the children miss educa tional opportunities. The state becomes a loser be cause of depressed educational opportunity. No mat ter from what angle you look at it, the state is no greater than the character of its citizenship. To get down to brass tacks, it is up to the parents to carry the fight for increased appropriations for schools. If South Carolina is to be developed, it must be through our boys and girls who today are. being educated in our sdhools. They should have the best of teachers a^d the best of teachers can be obtained only through increased appropriations for schools. If the pay is small, naturally the best teachers, teachers of ambition and skill, are going to seek jobs where they can receive salaries commensurate with, their qualifi cations. ^ IVs up to you, citizens of South Carolina. Contact -your delegation NOW and insist that they back the program for increased salaries for teachers. REPORT TO THE CITIZENS The Chronicle desires to confer medals of ap preciation on the Kershaw county delegation and the city of Aiken. First to the Kershaw group of Ken nedy, Arrants and Jones for arranging to conduct public hearings each month in order that the citizens may appear and discuss community problems with the lawmakers. Second to the city of Aiken for printing a financial report each month in the Aiken newspaper. Also will go a monthly police report showing the amount of fines collected from offenders. The Chron icle believes that the public is entitled to know the financial condition of the municipality and endorses the Aiken plan. NOT A BAD IDEA The Chronicle has been a.sked to suggest to the postal authorities that a mail box be placed on the sidewalk in front of the post office for the benefit of those who wish to mail letters. There are nuiny older people who find the climb up the post office .steps a real burden and they would appreciate a mail box on the street. " NO DOUBLE CHARGE Many thousand.s of .sports fans will rejoice that the South Carolina legislature has been requested to investigate the double charge made at football games held d.uring State Fair week. But, if things run true to form, sports fans had better get busier than the power politicians who, doubtle.ss, are already on the job. If you feel the charge to get into the first gate to the fair grounds, where the games are played, should be taken off, speak to members of the delegation. They, and they alone, can help.—Mullins Enterprise.
