Editorial Comment

Immediate Enrollment A Necessity

The Kentucky Teachers' Association derives its budget from the enrollment fees of
Our 1400 teachers, the smallest number of teachers in any Southern State. On the basis
of this income, we have planned our expenditures. This means that We are expecting
each teacher to enroll for 1955.

We are now making contracts with our guest speakers for the Louisville convention,
April 13 to l5, 1955. We also are making other convention plans beside the publicity and
printing of our convention program.

Each teacher is asked to be sure to enroll immediately in the K. T. A. even though
CI final decision about attending the April convention has not been made.

You are urged to give your fee to your principal who will send the school enroll—
ments as a group or if this is inconvenient, to send your $4.00 membership fee directly
to the K. T. A. secretary—treasurer.

Our convention this year is perhaps the most vital in our history. The problem of jobs
is among the problems of integration. Our association is placing its major efforts in this
direction. We need legal counsel, expert advice, community programs and projects of
various types to protect the interests of the Negro teacher.

Remember that we are counting on the enrollment fee of every teacher and that our
budget will be out of balance if a teacher fails to enroll. We thank each teacher for his
past loyalty and in advance fOr his co-operation in making the 1955 convention a suc-
cess. Support the K. T. A! it will support you!

The Teacher and Desegration

(By the Citizens Committee, James A. Crumlin, Chairman)

Segregation of pupils in public schools based on racial identity is unconstitutional!

That has been decided by the Supreme Court of the United States in the historic
decision of May 17, 1954.

There is no addition or modification to be made to this decision. The Court has de-
layed the issuance of final decrees which will state how and when the desegregation of
segregated public schools must be effected in the fourteen states and the District of
Columbia which were made parties to the NAACP's Supreme Court cases. The effect of
the decision, however, is to make segregation of pupils in public schools unconstitu-
tional all over America even now.

rihe Supreme Court, therefore, has decided what must legally happen to public
school pupils A big and consuming question is what will happen to the Negro teacher
where desegregation of pupils becomes a reality. Particularly is this true of areas where
desegregation will mean consolidations or eliminations of school facilities formerly
maintained (such as they are or were) for the exclusive use of Negroes. A reduction of
the number of teachers in some school districts will inevitably result.

How will such reductions affect the Negro teacher? What should the Negro teacher
know and do to protect his or her rights? Some of the ABC's of such knowledge and
procedure have been developed by the Citizens Committee on Desegregation in Ken-
tucky, a coordinating organization made up of representatives of the NAACP, the KTA
and the PTA in Kentucky.

This Committee through the advice of its legal counseling offers the following sug-
gestions and recommendations to all Teachers:

(1) Each Teacher should list his or her eligibility and forward same to the Citizens

Committee on Desegregation, 608 West \Valnut Street, Louisville, Kentucky.

(2) Before any Teacher signs his 1955—56 Contract in a new District he should first
seek the advice of the committee.

(3) Any Teacher feeling that he is unjustifiably dismissed or that he has been
wronged by any act of his school Board as for as employment is concerned
should report such to this Committee for investigation.

(4) Any future advice or information concerning employment, redeployment queS-
tions or qualifications and so forth should be sought from this committee.

We sincerely feel that if the Teachers will cooperate with the Committee to the ex-

tent herein above outlined, qualified Negro Teachers need have no fear of losing their
positions in Public Educational Systems.
