SISTER KENNY'S 'GRADUATING CLASS'
Youngsters, their muscles relieved of the excruciating pain of infantile paralysis and re-educated to
normal use, gather with Sister Elizabeth Kenny, left, and a group of American nurses at General
Hospital in Minneapolis. Sister Kenny, Australian "bush” nurse, gained the acceptance of the
medical profession for her hot pack treatment of polio after experiments made possible through a
grant from the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis. She now is teaching her methods to
American doctors, nurses and physio therapists^ so that America will be ready; when epidemics strike.
Teachers’ Salary Fight
Has Set-Back
ARKANSAS JUDGE
RULES IN FAVOR OF
DISCRIMINATE
In Cass Brought Up For
7 rial by Miss
Susie Morris
Little Rock, Jan 8 (ANF>- •)
The fight against teachers’
salary discrimination in the
south leceived a temporary set
•" back when Federal District'
Judge T. C. Trimble ruled last
y^?ek that Miss Susie Morris,
f,/eal high school teacher,'
would net be given equal sal¬
ary to that of white teachers
with equal training and ex¬
perience.
Miss Morris brought action 1
against the school board in j
1942 to prevent salary discrim-!
ination against colored teach-:
ers, a practice that has result-
ed in lowering the efficiency
and rating of Negro schools in
the south.
“The court is of the opinion
that the defendants (members
of the school board) have a
right to fix the salary of each
individual teacher in tile sys¬
tem, according to their real
worth and value to the
tem as teachers, and are not
required to set up and adhere
to some arbitrary standard
college degrees and year of ex-
perience in teaching, some
mechanical method of means
of determining salaries.” said
Judge Trimble.
