400 New Laws Help
Improve U.S. Schools;
Teacher Pay Raised
By th* Associated Press
NEW YORK. Aug. 30.—America's
education systems, on the eve of
a banner season, are undergoing
some major adjustments.
In the last year, at least 44 State
legislatures have made noteworthy
changes in the status of school
marm and pupil. This follows a
rash of strikes and complaints
against salaries and working con
ditions and reports that a bumper
crop of new pupils is cQjning up.
When the legislative halls cleared,
according to information gathered
by the National Education Asso
ciation, the lawmakers had passed
nearly 400 statutes providing in
general for more adequate school
financing, greater equalization of
educational opportunities, increased
teachers’ salaries, liberalized
teachers’ retirement benefits, tight
ened requirements for teaching
certification and modified instruc-’
tional programs.
Analysis of the new laws dis
closes that 33 States increased the
amounts appropriated to support
their minimum programs and that
26 boosted appropriations to help
equalize educational opportunities
among school districts. Illinois ex
tended such aid to the junior col
lege level.
Agree Teachers Are Low-Paid.
The high spot in school legisla
tion was * widespread agreement
that teachers’ salaries were too low. ■
With the 'exceptions of Connecticut,
;lowa, Montana, Nebraska, New
Mexico, South Dakota and Wyo
ming, ealh of the 44 States report
ing passed emergency appropria
tions to grant cost-of-living bonuses
or raised minimum salaries.
Even in States which did not act,
many local units raised teachers’
salaries.
New or liberalized retirement plans
also were authorized by 27 States.
Increased State contributions, with
consequent decreases' in contribu
tions by individual teachers, were
provided, additional categories of
teachers were permitted to join the
plans and credit granted for war
connected or prior services. In ]
addition, increased allowances were
made to teachens now on the re
tirement rolls.
In the matter of professional,
standards, Arkansas provided for j
progressive raising of certification;
requirements after July 1, 1948,
Idaho made four years’ college train
ing mandatory after September 1,
-
11955, and Nevada sought to ellml
inate emergency certificates “asj
i soon as possible.”
Smaller Classes Sought.
Both Maryland and Arkansas
ruled that classes should be cut to
average 30 pupils.
Illinois and Virginia prohibited
the dismissal of a woman teacher
because of marriage, while Con
necticut barred discrimination in
employment because of race, creed
or color. South Carolina gave
teachers legal remedies in cases of
salary discriminations.
New York. Ohio, Pennsylvania and
Texas all passed laws outlawing
teacher strikes. Texas also out
lawed collective bargaining.
The Legislatures of Pennsylvania
and Missouri' decreed revisions in
the teaching of American history
and government. In Missouri, in
addition, the Constitution of the
United States and the history of
Missouri were made required sub
jects to be taught not later than
the seventh grade and running
through high school and into col
lege. Failure on the part of a
teacher, principal or superintendent
to teach such courses makes them
| subject to dismissal.
Tolerance Required Subject.
I In Oregon, State law now requires
the teaching of racial and religious
tolerance in the public schools.
Both Indiana and Montana re
quire elementary and high schools
t to teach the effects of intoxicating
; liquors and narcotics.
Rnprinl eniirsp.c for hs*nriicnr>npd
'children were provided in Indiana.
! Oklahoma initiated a program of
audio-visual education.
Connecticut, Illinois and Pennsyl
vania set up courses in motor ve
' hide operation, traffic safety and
home safety education.
Vocational education also has re
; ceived considerable attention, Du.
| R. W. Gregory, assistant United
i States Commissioner for vocational
education, United States Office of
Education, says. “The demands now
being made upon our educational
I system in all States and local com
munities to provide general and

The total problem of meeting the
emergency thus created was made
more acute because of a shortage of
qualified teachers at all levels of in
struction.”
Appropriations Increased.
A number of State legislatures in
creased appropriations for voca
tional education. In Vermont, this
increase for the biennium went
from $35,000 in 1946-1947. to $65,
000 for 1947-1948 and to $75,000 for
1948-1949. In Texas, the State Legis
lature increased its appropriations
for vocational education mbre than
65 per cent above previous appropri
ations.
New York, Pennsylvania, Mary
land, Tennessee, Delaware, West
Virginia and Rhode Island voted to
increase salaries of vocational teach
ers to attract and hold able and
qualified teachers in school, shops
and classrooms.
Nearly all States made some pro
vision for school financing. Dela
ware, Indiana and Nebraska pro
vided State funds for school build
ing construction. North Carolina
authorized districts to utilize bonds
and taxes to purchase “garages.

last night. He said It had been
