cation Assn, for Negro teachers
corresponds to the Georgia Educa¬
tion Assn, for white teachers.
In his statement, Pitts said there
are counties in Georgia where “re¬
cords will indicate that thousands
of dollars which by every right
ought to have gone for the main¬
tenance and operation of Negro
schools have never reached the in¬
dividual schools or classrooms.”
He asked the board for new re¬
gulations for distribution of the
funds.
“There is one county in Georgia
with more than 3,000 Negro stu¬
dents and less than 2,500 white
students where the State School
Building Authority has spent more
than half a million dollars in con-
structing five new buildings and
there is not a janitor in the entire
county working in Negro schools,”
he said.
He added that he had asked one
Negro principal how many jani¬
tors worked in his school and that
the principal replied 23, indicat¬
ing his 23 teachers.
