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.
