BETTER EDUCATION FOR GEORGIA MOVEMENT
Q O ^
By RALPH L. RAMSEY, Director
Equal Educational Opportunity
“Equal educational
is a fine phrase to charm with.
But like the word “Democracy,”
often has little practical
Stuart Chase says Democracy is
“blab” word that often has
sentimental and emotional
to meet a temporary need than
has of permanent value.
phrase “equal educational oppor
tunity,” frequently falls into
same bracket, and which it
the ear of a listening public,
ticularly those who need
educational opportunities most,
does not meet these practical
and an unthinking public fails
analyze where the failure lies.
Tearher Qaulifieations
Equal educational opportunity
involves teacher qualifications. It
would be unthinkable to assume
that a group of children under a
poorly qualified teacher would
have the same opportunit; for edu
cational development as a group
of like size under a teacher high
ly trained and qualified for the
work she does. In this respect,
Georgia has some cause to be
gratified. The teaching standards
have been constantly rising during
recent years, and due to the im
petus given by the seven months
school law and salary recognition
for increased qualifications, this
improvement has been marked in
the last three years. At present,
in the white teacher bracket we
have only 828 teachers in the lower
bracket coming in the $40 a month
scale, while in the two highest
brackets, in the $75 and $80 a
month scale, we have 3,456, and
3,236 teachers, respectively. This j
indicates that schools, even in the
remote rural sections, are now be- j
ing manned by teachers who have
had four years of college training,
and all teachers ir. the lower
brackets are constantly raising
their professional standing.
Teachers’ Salaries.
It also involves'teacher remuner
ation. One cannot expect a highly
trained teacher to devote herself
to the classroom and to the voca
tion of teaching unless a measur
ably ,, adequate , , financial . . , . .
provision
is made for her. This probably is |
the most serious weakness, in the;
Georgia _ set As . yet, , far , as
up. so
state support is concerned and
this is the only agency through
which we can realized educational
opportumty, the Lest trained
teacher with experience can hope
to receive only $560 a year for
her services. No state could ex
pect to and retain , the , best, ,
secure
talent on such a scale as this. By
comparison, a sister state, Florida,
offers $800 a year per teacher.
unit, scaled both downward and ;
upward, as per teacher qualih
cation.s This will account some- 1
what for RRH many Georgia teachers
going to Florida and other states
for positions
Security For The Teacher.
Equal educational opportunity
likewise would involve some de
gree of permanency and security
to the teacher in the work she has
chosen, and in the remuneration
that is received The picture in
Georgia is not a promising one.
At present, even on the meager
scale which has been suggested;
above, meager certainly in com
I parison to what some other states j
! are doing.__ we have this .urther ^
disconcerting and almost unbeliev-
| than 21,000 teachers in the public
schools, there are 12,440 of them
| who still have owed to them the
sum of $2,035,000. This means
that after local systems have bor
rowed to the extent of their abil
ity in order to offset the deficit of
$5,200,000 owed by the state, this
j i number pleted either of teachers, shortened having term com
a or
a full term, as the case may have
| been, have this amount be of money doubt

[ 1 that this, in very small large measure,
accounts for the
j this summer in the
j schools of the state. This
true, many teachers whose
j ifications are not meeting the re
quirements and who would have
attended summer school this sum
mer in order to raise their profes
sional standing, will go back to
their classrooms next September
(that is, if schools open in Sep
tember) to continue their work
with no increase in training or
broadening of outlook. This is a
situation that continues while, as
the proverbial Nero fiddled while
Rome burned, the political lead
ers of the state discuss committee
reports and future state cam
paigns, This column does not de
sire, in any wise, to be overly crit
ical, but we emphasize the fact
that surely those who offer for
public service, either in the ad
ministrative field or in the legis
lative bracket, should be con
cerned about an obligation that is
still due this large group of public
servants.
The Needs of Youth,
But more than all of this, equal
educational opportunity involves
the childhood and the youth of the
state and the nation. Let no lav
ored community suppose that its
citizens may provide adequately
for the youth of its own immediate
area and disregard those of less
fortunate sections. It is an accept
ed and fundamental philosophy
that wealth where wealth is must
be used to educate youth where
youth is. The actual situation is
that the larger number of children
to be educated is found in those
communities, states, and sections
when} the least weaUh is found
for educational purposes. For ex
ample, the number of children of
element and high scshool a ge,
to the number of adults in
thfi Southeastj was a mt l e more
than 60Q 1 000 adults> as com -
d with Qnly 340 in the far
Wegt gnd 425 in lhe Northe ast. On
thfi other hand the wealth of the
Southeast as compared with the
far Wegt and Northcrst is exceed
ingly Qut Qf proportion . m South
Carolinaj there are 725 children oi
elementary and high scs hool age
1000 adulls as compared with
j 350 for the state of New
York.
The same lark of balance will
bQ fQUnd exist in ind i v idual
states. For example, in Georgia,
Fulton county, in which Atlanta
is located, has only 210 children
for every 1,000 adults, and in Bibb
county, the seat of the city of
Macon, the ratio of children Chatham to;
adults is 252, while
county, which contains the city of
Savannah, has 209 children for
every 1,000 adults. In contrast, in
a very large percentage of the ru
ral counties the ratio of children
to adults is in excess of 400. These
inequalities can not be balanced
except through an equalizing edu
