Education Board In Praise of Tutors N ¥ %) LACK OF FUNDS MEMPHIS Tenn,, Dec 11 - The fate of the nignt school sy stem which has been hanging in the balance ever since the city school board issued a statement two weeks ago to the effect that it could not offer further financial support for its maintainence was decided Tuesday night when seven ty teachers of the system said that they would offer their services without their pay, The acceptance by the Board of Education of. the free service proposition unanimous ly made by the night school teach ers including the twenty-five in structors at Booker T. Washington High school Tuesday afternoon means that the system will re continue next January following the Christmas recess. s | Although the board refused to commit itself to the proposition that it would promise to pay teachers when funds would be available, in as much as such a time cannot be determined. the teachers still show ed unusual willingness to continue their service. The board stated: | - “The board of education appre ciates the attitude of the night school teachers in offering to con tinue their work in the night schoot and wait for their payment until such time as the board might have available funds. In view of the ¢x isting financial situation the board does not see wherecin it can obli gate itself for any future payvment whatever. “The board does net ask any teachers to donate their service: but expresses its highesi commen dation of the deep interest shown by those thaceers who offer to continue their services free ol charge. The board will contirmg to furnish the building. heat. and the light for all night schools in which the teachers may desire to contin ue without remuneration.” In their statements to the board of education. night school teachers at Booker Washington called at tention to the fact that many stu dents would lose their credits which would be necesary for entrance in college. Many of these students are to receive their diploma at the close of the term next year. With these facts in mind Washington High school teachers were willing to serve without reimbursement. This was the principal consideration that motivated white teachers to offer their service free also. Night schools are being conducted at Tech., Humes. Riverside, and l.aud erdale with about 1,500 white stu dents in attendance, There are five rundred colored night school stu dents at Booker T. Washington ot which Professor G. P. Hamilton is principal. All classes are being taught at the Washington night school as they are doing the regular day session, Prof. Hamilton stated. Courses in domestic science, domestic art. his tory, commerce, literature, and all the elementary subjects are in the offering.

SAUL’S FRIDAY, DECEMBER 11, 1931 UKL TrAﬂH£HS TULSA, Okla,, Dec. 11.—-(ANP)— According to reports to an Asso ciated Negro Press representative, the Negro teachers of the City ot Muskogee are, still without their salaries. It is said that at the end of the third month, the Negro cachers were issedu their so-called ‘warrants,”” which seem worth less due to the failure of banks and husiness enterprises to cash said warrants. Some few of the teach ors who have laid aside a few dol «@ars prior to this term are able to Jdde over the period that the war ;ants are not being cashed, but many who are without funds and who have not had any salary since June of this year, are finding 1t lufficult to make ends meet. The situation is very unusual and has worked very great inconven ence upon many Negro teachers in that city. The city board of edu ation of Muskogee and the county vorad of education have had a battle in court over Negro warrants paid by the city for the county everal years ago. A decision was handed down in which the county vas not forced to pay the city for money naid in cashing warrants for Negro teachers. The rumor is that the white teach ors of the city of Muskogee incur no difficulty whatever in getting ‘heir warrants cashed. This is due, t is said to the that Negro or sepa ate schools do not receive support rom the same source. Negro lead v of Oklahoma contemplate tak ng steps to have the United States supreme court render a decision s to the constitutionality of such t law or practice.
