Ruling of State Board o Negro Teachei'-Traininj The recent ruling of the State J Board oT Kducation In regard to _ the certification and classification 1 of teachers and the study of plans / for future policies definitely lead > tQ the conclusion that Negro teach- / cr.trrining institutions will be charged with the responsibility of ? giving adequate pre-service training to prospective teachers for the Negro public boIiooIq of South Ga rolina.?""""" -~ 'Fin? 'STgTfl Agriculture and Me- ^ chancial College at Orangeburg is s' the only state supported^ institution of higher learning for NeRro-. 1-1 es in South Carolina. It is incon- a ceivable that that institution will 'r not be made sufficiently strono bv w the State of South Carolina to 11 make procurable for its graduates the highest class of certificate that may be issued by the Bureau of e< Certification. P" In South Carolina there are four to private institutions of higher learn ai ii g for Negroes that offer four P1 years. _ these colleges hflvP- hrnn. ^ making?K tPstiiict contribution to" "to the teaching profession of South to Carolina. If a sufficient number tt of teacr.er.; .,1" to be secured, these tl college:? must continue to live. The ^ graduates jf Alien .University, and' the members of the Africcn Moth' tt odist, chnreh Th Fuii.tt Carolina! the eradiates of Benedict College tc and the members of the Baptist church :n South Carolina; the ?] graduates of Ciaflin College and ei the --member^ of the Methodist hrrih, Atlantic Coast area, in Snith Carolina; the graduates of Morris College and members of the Baptist church in. Soutb Card? ? I'nii should rise at thiR time and g) crme to the financial assistance of g ihese church college,. that their wi'k en the under-graduate level ^ will be on a par with that of any ? other institution. It is generally understood that a lack of financial R , support prevents the five institutions mentioned above, state and private, from receiving the rating V, the people of South Carolina would ^ like to ree each of them attain ? r nd maintain. w Ther/> ore six Negro Junior Col- di l('gec m South Carolina that have A made, and are still making, a de- L cid"d contribution to the teaching M profession. They are listed~m~the "M 1940-41 South Carolina School Di_ rectory as follows: Avery Insti. w tute, Congregational; Bettis Aca- w demy, private; Clinton Junior CoL ai lege, Methodist; Coulter Memorial a Academy, Presbyterian; Friend- vi ship Junior College, Baptist; Voor_ b"e<5 Normal and Industrial School, Episcopal. c] Outstanding educational journals ;r hrve recently been carrying ar- t tides to the effect that the Junior w < <)ll ires have a distinct^pari to $ "" pl?\r in the American scheme of ^ education. Because of his work for g{ flip pp7st "fifteen years, the writer C? had had the opportunity to observe many teachers at work. Some of th> best teaching he has seen in ^ the primary and elementary j T'-a-'es was done by (graduates of ^ iu: ior colleges.* The same appeal that is herein made to the con- n stituents of senior colleges is also . mad? to the constituents of these junior?tmlleges. An average of " * 1 00 a vear from the constituents ? of tlmse colleges would make such ' ir-rtTffprpnctr_in these schools that ~ t- e forward looking people of '1 SovtTi CarolinaT white-anffNegro, would be proud of them.-? - -1*3 Years ago many of thesej*choola received donations from philan- ? thropists. That source has about 10 ceased except through the founda- a tions. When these gift, were made l there was no nuoh prosperity as is now exhibited around almost any gathering of Negroes. Why-should not Negroes now show that the . money spent by thosg benefactors . wa~s an investment that put them ir b<vdt1AYi tfi "support their fnsti- ^ tions today? A1 1 The salary schedule as set up _ bv the State Board of Education * for Negro teachers, in the case of ftr four-year college graduates teach. w ing in sc.- ools that run eight months, does tend to get the sal arios of Negr0 and white teachers Rr nearer together. The addition of g; (one month to short term schools *1. '"'" """"'I tl,n ,nl j * many teachers. The matter of co transportation, which can be work- w| ed out with local school officials, ard the matter of high school fa- i cilities are all gains that have aj been made. Li The matter of at least an eight- M month school term for_evexy Negro _ child callQ for a larger average p attendance in many of our schools for the first and the last "months ' ~f of school. If children do not at- A tend school for the term they now . have, is there any jusifiable rea- r" I sons for extending the term? J Children, parents, leaders in every walk of life, teachers, and school officials can do a groat deal to in- ? crease the average attendance. There seems to be no good reason Rj for th daily absence of 29 out of _ every 100 Negro children enrolled or in South Carolina. to In order for Negro teachers to or do their best work, among other of things, they should be remunerate au ed for services in keeping with their training and performance. It is certain that with more than South Carolina putting nothing in.. r; f Education Affects g Institutions ^resident Higgins 3elivers Address )f Welcome To Vllen Students President S. R.
