Janitors’ School
At State College
To Be Next Week
In the Sir Walter Hotel,
Daily 'litimtrh Unreal,
BY J. C. BASKERVILL.
Raleigh, July 17.—Approximately
175 school maintenance men and jan
itors have already indicated they will
attend the special training school to
he held for them here at State Col
lege next week, under the direction
of the State School Commission, R. D.
Ream, chief maintenance and heating
engineer for the commission said to
day. All of those attending the train
ing school herew ill be white men.
The training school for Negro janitors
and maintenance men will be held In
Greensboro, at the Negro A. and T.
College there the week of August 5
to 10 Approximately 150 janitors will
attend that schoo Beam said.
These janitors and maintenance
men will be given instruction in the
most approved methods of firing all
types of boilers and in their main
tenance as well as in thei proper
maintenance methods for all types of
plumbing and water systems. They
will also be given particular instrluo
tion in the care and maintenance or
all types of floors in this school.
Beam said today.
These training schools for janitors
and maintenance men have greatly
reduced the expenditures for fuel and
maintenance the past few years since
they have been held, Beam pointed
out. In 1930.31, the total expenditure
for fuel for the public schools a»
mounted to $656,075. In 1931-32 this
expenditure was reduced to $498,212
and the next year to $438,948. For the
school year of 1934-34 only $410,000,
despite an average increase in the
cost of coal of about 85 cents per ton
as compared with the previous year,
Beam pointed out.
The cost of coal for this coming
school year is expected to be about
the same as last year, 0 r about $410.-
000, though it may be slightly less if
prices decrease somewhat, Beam said.
Thus the cost of fuel alone has been
reduced $246,075 within a period of
five years, muqh of which has been
due to better firing methods develop
ed as a result of the annual schools
for janitoss and maintenance men,
Beam said.

that has been appropriated, to meet
with the joint committee now work

work out a salary schedule along
lines it may desire.
“I feel sure that the joint committee
from the State School Commission
and the State Board of Education
now working out a new salary sche
dule in conformance with the law, will
invite those who have been criticizing
the school commission to meet with
it in its next meeting and give it the
benefit of their knowledge or advice
concerning salaries,” Leßoy Martin,
secretary of the Commission, said to
day. “If these objectors can devise
a salary schedule which will distri
bute the money appropriated by the
1935 General Assembly on a more
equitable basis than the plan being
considered by the committee, I am
sure the committee will he most grate
ful ”
The entire controversy over the
teachers’ salaries question turns on
the point as to whether the General
Assembly intended for everv teacher
to get 20 per cent increase over what
he or she got last year, no more and
no less, or whether the 20 per cent
increase shall be figured as a total
blanket increase over the aggregate
amount spent for salaries last year,
to he distributed in accordance with
the law which requires the'
School Commission and State Board
of Education to set up a salary sche
dule which will take into considera
tion “the competency and experience
of the teacher . . . the amount and
character of work to be done and
shall also take into consideration the
grade of certificate such teachers or
principal holds.”. (Se. 12, School Ma
chinery Act of 1935.)
There is plenty of money in the 1935
school appropriation to grant a hori
zontal salary increase of 22 per cent,
instead of only 20 yer cent, on the
basis of the salary paid last year, if
the school commission disregards
“competency, experience and the
grade of certificate” held by teachers,
it is readily agreed by Secretary Mar
tin. For only $16,128,787 would be
needed for a horizontal increase of
this sort while the commission has al
ready tentative set aside $16,500,000
for salaries this coming year, or al
most $400,000 more than is actually
needed for a 20 per cent horizontal
raise.
But for the past two years the
school commission has been compelled
by law (1933 School Machinery Act,
Section 12) to devise a salary schedule
which will take into consideration
length of service, competency, exper
ience and grade of certification. The
1935 School Machinery Act requires
it to do the same thing. As a result,
if it observes the law as set out in the
1935 school machinery act, it will
be able to grant an increase of 20
per cent to every teacher, for the rea
son that some of the teachers will be
entitled to salary increases of from 30
per cent to 44 per cent.
The 1935 General Assembly
not appropriate enough money to
make it posible for every teacher to
°ret a 20 per cent increase and for the
other increases due to length of teach
ing experience, certification and so
forth, the special committee working
on the salary schedule has found. But
t the objectors think they can do bet
ter, they will be given the opportunity.
