Atlanta, April 20—The average
salary paid by the state to white
school teachers for a seven-month
term is $649.83, State Superintend
ent M. D. Collins said today, while
the average state salary for negro
teachers is $388.01.
He added that the average pay
of white teachers is raised to $1,083
and of negro teachers to $522 by
the inclusion of city and county
supplements, but he said 102 coun
ties provide no supplement what
soever.
Dr. Collins also explained that
the top average embraces the sal
aries of city and county superin
tendents and other school officials
whose pay runs as high as $7,500
a year.
The figures were compiled by As
Bistant State Superintendent J. I.
Allman from records of about one-
third of the school systems, includ
ing Atlanta. Dr. Collins said this
cross section made a fairly accurate
index for the entire state.
The state pay scale ranges from
$40-$80 a month for white teachers
and from $25-$60 a month for ne
groes. The amount paid each teach
er depends on qualifications and
experience.
Teachers are expected to ask a
25 per cent increase in pay at the
Georgia Education Association in
Savannah starting Thursday.
Other statistics compiled by All-
man showed that although the
ages of Georgia teachers varies
from 18 to 70, the median is 32
years and six months. The largest
number fall in the 24-year-old
group.
Among white teachers, women
outnumber men about four to one,
while there are about six times as
many
men.
The average white teacher in
Georgia has taught in the state 11
years and one month.

Eula Mae Perry was 16 years, of ™ m.' to trudge
nge ' thru the woods and get the thrill
which members of the Georgia Fox
Hunters Association have shown at
their annual meetings here, of fol
lowing the hounds.
But I became so interested in the
hunters and their stories that I
missed the “kill."
The two youngest hunters here
this year were only one year old
and three years old, respectively.
Both are veteran hunters and
both are from Savannah. Earl
Johnston Jr., cutely dressed in red
cap, red coat, hunting pants and
boots, is the three-year-old lad
who is making his third annual
hunt. One-year-old Aubrey Price
son of Mr. and Mrs.W H. Price, is
making his' second hunt, having
recently visited the one at Sheraw
S. C. His father, a judge in the
local hunt, began hunting as a tiny;
tot some 30 years ago.
Amazing veteran hunters were a
group of pretty Americus girls, of
high- school and college ages, who
dressed in jodphers, race across
creeks and through under brush
on the heels of the hounds.
"They are the hardest running
fox hunters I've ever seen'," a griz
zled veteran said.
While the hunters came back to
town for a snooze, the girls rushed
home, dressed, and then to their
classes. They are: Misses Marianne
and Sue Marshall, Helen Lunsford
Betty Brinson, Marilyn Cllett and
Catherine Lewis.
The local girls were onlookers.
There are two young ladles from
Dothan, Ala., who took their dogs
to the casting line, and hope for
victory. They were Misses J.Ouida
Griffin and Sue Spivey.
The oldest hunter this year was
Will McKenzie of Montezuma, who
has been attending hunts for
years. His son, Ed McKenzie, Who
is as old as most hunters, was here
also.
The hunters will tell you they
know their dogs so well they can
distinguish his baying from the
rest of the pack.
“There's old Tige—hear him—
ain't he got a sweet mouth tho.”
I was at Turpin's stables when
the dogs were registered, and had
the opportunity of watching a dog
being introduced formally to a
hunter. A man grabbed Sheriff A.
Turner of Dawson, a big man in fox
hunting in the statge, and said:
“Come out here, Ang. I want you
to meet Tom—he's my new dog.
You know old Bess. Well, here's
Tom now—shake hands with Mr.
Turner, Tom.”
And the sheriff nods in recogni
tion of old Bess as he walks by her'
and then grabs the paw of Tom,
who was making his debut In the
local hunt.
