WHEN, early Wednesday afternoon, the sale of United States
War bonds and stamps passed the $2,700-mark at Doug-
lass junior high school, the student body und faculty had more
than tripled tbo original goal that they had net, with their hav-
ing contributed enough money to buy thrsa army jeeps.
Originally, the school, of which 8. H. Gates is principal,
had, for its bond and stamp purchases' objective, the equiva-
lent of the cost of one jeep—at
least tOOO.
Excitement and enthusiasm wa^
t fever pitch, as the sale got ph

quickly reached-, and, by last Fri-
day, a total of $1,482.00 la bends

There will be another Increase
of 2." per cent In Septemlier of tills
year, and a 30 per cent increase
In September, 1944, with the sal-
aries being fully equalized in Sep-
tember, 194!
Thus, 40 per cent of the existing
differential will lie eliminated, this
Tear, with the difference being re-
duced by 70 per cent in the fall of

Although there are a few teach-
ara who Insist on Immediate
equalization, a Houston Negro
newspaper suld that the over-
whelming majority of teachers and
eltiierji expressed the belief that
"too time taken oj'Yne "boani to
effect the increase was reasonable.
The raises are identical In per-
centage and time, with those se-
cured by the Race teachers of
Dallas after they had filed suit
for salary equalization.
The Houston Negro teachers
presented their petition for salary
equalization on March 17, with
the board hearing, argument and
evidence from the teachers' legal
counsel on April B. One week
later, the board voluntarily passed
the resolution granting salary
equality.
So fur as is known, Houston is
tho first city of Its size, and im
pirtiince in the South to grant
such equalization without actual
court uction. In some small coun-
ties and communities, equalization
has beeu grnnted without court ac-
tion, but only after much wrang-
ling and argument.
