Slick Jim Crow Teacher Pay
Rate For Birmingham
BASED ON TEACHERS TRAINED IN ACCREDITED
COLLEGESi AND THOSE IN APPROVED
INSTITUTIONS
BIRMINGHAM, Ala., (ANp
—The new salary schedule pro¬
posed by the Jefferson County
Board of Education, as publish
cd last week in the daily press,
provides discriminatory pay
Ibased upon teachers trained in
accredited colleges and those
graduated irom approved insti
tutions.
Under the plan, graduates
from colleges rated A by the
Southern Association of Col
leges and Secondary Schools
are paid higher salaries than
graduates from non A class col¬
leges. (It is estimated that
over 80 per cent of the county
Negro teachers are from non A
colleges.
A majority of the county
teachers were trained at State
Teachers college, Montgomery,
and Alabama A. and M. college,
Normal, which are not on the
Approved list. On the other
hand, all four of the white
teacher training colleges, Au¬
burn and the University of Ala
bama, are on the approved list.
Hi other words here is the
situation: Teacher X is a
graduate from State Teachers’
college in Montgomery, holds a
B secondary certificate a’nd
Teacher Z is a graduate from
Talladega, holds the same B
secondary certificate, the latter
gets more. The Talladega
graduate will get a salary min¬
imum of $1,15 per month and
the Stafte graduate $D6 per
month, a difference of of $19 a
month, although both hold the
same class certificate from the
same state department of edu¬
cation.
According to the release in
the daily press, minimum and
maximlum salaries set up in the
schedule are to be based upon
merits. The release said that
only teachers who show proper
professional growth and satis,
factory progress in their work
will be entitled to advancement
under the proposed schedule.
