HOME FROM HOSPITAL Harry Dominick returned to his home on College street on Monday after having spent two months as a patient in Self Memorial hospital, Greenwood. His friends will be glad to know he is recuperating nicely. led into a situation such as exists in Florida, by Carlos Gibbons. This man has prob ably done more to alienate members of the General Assem bly than any other one or more persons in the field of educa tion in South Carolina. Since the beginning of this school year, he has been issuing poor ly veiled threats to the Gen eral Assembly as to what will happen if SCEA’s demands are not met. I have an idea that our General Assembly does not take kindly to threats. I think its members are cogniz ant of the plight of the teach ers, which isn’t as bad as Gibbons makes it out to be. I also think the legislature has more to be concerned about than teacher pay boosts. We elect representatives to fairly represent everyone, not just teachers. There are other ex penses to be met. The state has an enviable economic rec ord and it is to the credit of the legislature that it tries to maintain that record and not bankrupt the state, and not unduly burden citizens with a heavier tax load than they now have. It is true, perhaps, that a carpenter or a plumber may make more money without having had the expense of a college education. If a teacher is interested only in making money, with the crying need there is for craftsmen today I’m equally as sure he could go into one of the skilled craft jobs and make more money. Perhaps even as a sweeper in a textile plant he might make almost as much as a beginning teacher. I do not, however, believe that teachers would give up what, they choose to call their profession, and to lose their prestige, for the sake of a few more dollars a week. Personally, I’m betting on the teachers of South Carolina. I do not believe they are going to allow Carlos Gibbons to lead them down the path of destruction of our school sys tem. A strike may sound like fun to some, and it may even be fun for some while the strike is going on. When it is over, however, it is the striker *vho has suffered. I recently had occasion to take five days of testimony a- bout a strike. As each striker took the witness stand she said, “I’m sorry I did it. I didn’t realize what the outcome would be. I’d never do it again.” . My hope is that the teachers of South Carolina will wake up to what their “professional” organization is doing to them, and will take action before time runs out.
