SOUTH C AROLINA TEACHKR: ' Several months-ago the ex. . .

In this meeting this committee . asked for: ?1. EqiifH?salary?trrr?nhi?teachers doing similar work. 2.

Better methods of verification . of teachers in the public schools. There were several subsequent ' meetings an.i contacts.

By Ruth TayW r Slavery of the body of a man is a horror to the slave and a degradation to the master. But there is a greater slavery than this ? slavery of the mind. It was against this that Jefferson went on record when he said, _ "I am opposed to any tyranny over the minds of men." And it L this form of jlaytry__ which the totalitarian conquerors C of Europe's helpless people have s -enforced on millions. f It is the slavery of fear?fear of each new act of aggression of .1 the dictators whose diseased minds F make them exult only in the grov- i elling of serfs. It is the slavery of \< suspicion?suspicion that makes a man lose faith in humankind, even f in his nearest and dearest, lest ii they turn against him to a p. themselves. r~ It is the slavery of terror?ter- . n ?mr lest some new evil come upon e 2L~ ? man, tarror leat he e all that f MAYBE SOANI (By W.
