| THE MARYLAND INTER-RACIAL COMMISSION 9 under the State Department of Education for training the county teachers of Negro youth. The enrollment of the normal department has increased since 1923 from 10 to 77 students. In the same period the value of the plant has increased from $77,000 to $179,000. School equipment has greatly improved through the construction of an administration building and boys' dormitory recently completed. In order to maintain the progress of this school it is necessary to have other facilities and efficient teachers. The Legislature will make a wise use of public funds if it gradually grants more money to this worthy institution. In some parts of the counties the colored pupils are very widely scattered and their homes are very far from school buildings, which necessitates that some provision be made for the transportation of such pupils in order1 that they may secure the advantages of the public schools. There should be an assistant supervisor, colored, for the Negro schools of the State. The high schools and the special courses require additional supervision. This is no reflection whatever on the able services of Prof. J. Walter Huffington, the present supervisor of colored schools. Indeed, we are informed, Professor Huffington would welcome the appointment of an assistant. RECOMMENDATION No. 1 That the school code be amended to provide that the minimum salaries of colored teachers and supervisors be the same as the minimum salaries of other teachers in the public schools of the State. |
