Q. And why did you meet so many more times with
the white teachers?
A Well, I suppose that there are possibly two reasons,
and one justification is there are fifty-one white teachers
in the department and there were twenty-three colored
teachers, more than twice as many. Therefore, I would
think that there would be an increase in problems because
of the larger group. Or it might have been cold when these
particular meetings were held, I don’t remember that.
Something might have come up like a committee meeting
which prevented getting it done.
Q. Did you meet fewer times with the colored teachers
because they were colored teachers?
[fol. 823] A. No, sir, I did not.
Q. How many teachers are in your department?
A. Twenty-three colored and fifty-one white, making
seventy-four a total.
Q. Do you have anything to do with fixing salaries?
A. I do not, sir.
Q. State whether or not you have used rating sheets
in your career as a sponsor. A. I have, sir.
Q. _ Can you recall about how long you have been using,
so using rating sheets?
A. We have used rating sheets, I know, for thirty-two-
years. That is just my tenure in the office, either as prin
cipal or sponsor. I don’t mean I have been sponsor all that
time, but I have used rating sheets all that time.
Q. I hand you Defendants’ Exhibit No. 1 and ask you
to state whether, to state as near as you can when you
first saw a, rating sheet like that.
A. This was placed in my hands, a rating sheet of
t iis type similar to this one, I have not checked every point
on there, but I judge it is the same sheet, it looks like it,
eithei in April, I think it was April, 1942, a five-column
sheet.
Q. Did you see a three-column sheet any time before
that? A. Yes, I did.
[fol. 824] Q. When did you see that?
A. I saw that three-column sheet in the fall of 1941,
1 think October was the month.
Q. State whether or not it had on it the same points,
one from three.
465
39—12,887
466
A. Well, I didn’t check it, point by point, but I think
so, my opinion is the points are the same.
Q. State whether or not you have prepared individual
rating sheets for the teachers in your department.
A. I have, sir.
Q. What did you do with them?
A. These were turned over to the Superintendent.
Q. Do you know when you made these rating sheets?
A. The rating sheets were made soon after that.
Q. In the spring?
A. Yes, this rating sheet was put into my hands.
Q. That was in the spring?
A. The latter part of April, I think it was.
Q. Do you know when you delivered it to Mr. Scobee?
A. I delivered them to Mr. Scobee as soon as I com
pleted them. I don’t remember the date.
Q. In your best judgment, among the colored teachers
whom do you think to be the best in your department?
A. Well, it might, I think Mrs. Caruthers or Miss Ivey,
I might mention those two.
[fol. 825] Q. You think those are your two best colored
teachers ?
A. I think so, in my department, all things considered.
Q. Your best judgment, among the white teachers you
have, who is the least efficient?
A. Well, I think that Miss Thomas, of Parham School
is one.
Q. And in your best judgment, in comparison, would
you rate Miss Thomas as good as Mrs. Caruthers or poorer
or better?
A. You mean in actual accomplishment of objectives?
Q. In actual accomplishment of objectives, yes.
A. In actual accomplishment of objectives, I would say
probably not, but in potentialities I think she is greater or
as good.
Q. In comparison with Helen Ivey, how would you rate
Miss Thomas, as good, poorer or better?
A. I think the same statement might be applicable there
as in the other case.
Q. Do you think of any other white teacher within
your department inferior, as a teacher, to Mrs. Caruthers?
A. I do not.
Mr. Nash: Could the Court hear the witness?
467
The Court: Yes.
By Mr. Nash:
Q. Within your best judgment, do you think of any
[fol. 826] other white teacher within your department in
ferior to Helen Ivey ? A. I do not.
Q. In making, in preparing the old rate sheets, state
whether or not the question of race or color entered into
your deliberations? A. It does not.

Q.
Mr. Nash: You may ask.
Cross-Examination.
By Mr. Marshall:
Q. Mr. Means, the teachers that you supervise
they the same teachers Mr. WTebb supervises?
A. The same teachers.
Q. Well, did you confer together on the rating of these
teachers? A. We did not.
Q. In other words, you rate them on what you think?
Individually.
Well, did you consult with the principal?
I did not.
- Tilese meetings you held with the teachers, are
these meetings for the benefit of improving the teaching?
A. Yes, that is one of the considerations, there are
several considerations.
[fol. 827] Q. And what else?
A. To improve the teacher and give the teachers an op-
poitunity to state their general problems or any individ
uals to state their problems pertaining to the department
and give them an opportunity to express themselves as
o the arious procedures we have adopted and give them
an opportunity to make suggestions as to any of these
various procedures we have inaugurated, and possibly to
consider the formation of certain committees, or to have
a better organization, and also for the purpose of present
ing to them the various new methods or changing methods.
I could mention quite a number of others.
Q. Is not all of them for the purpose of getting the
teachers to do better teaching?
A. That has been my primary object.
Q. Yes, that is wrhat I am trying to get at.
A. Yes.
468
Q. Last year you had two such meetings with the col
ored teachers?
A. Yes, I think we met only twice.
Q. And the white teachers five times?
A. Possibly four or five times. The reason I am un
certain about that, we called for one or two meetings and
called one or two meetings off, one time by reason of
[fol. 828] inclement weather.
Q. It could not have been less than two meetings for
Negroes, could it? A. I think not.
Q. How many times did you visit the colored schools
last year?
A. I visited, I don’t know the number of times because
I don’t remember just how many. I have visited Capitol
Hill School, and I visited Stephens School, and I visited
the East End School.
Q. How about Bush? A. I did not visit Bush.
Q. And how about Gibbs? A. Did I say Gibbs?
Q. I am asking you now.
A. I thought I said Gibbs, yes.
Q. Bush you did not?
A. Gibbs and Capitol Hill and Stephens are the schools
I visited.
Q. You didn’t visit any other schools?
A. No other colored schools.
Q. What did you rate the colored teachers on in these
other schools? A. In the other schools?
Q. Yes.
[fol. 829] A. I rated those teachers on the response to
various bulletins that were sent out. I rated them on the
results of tests that were held, giving them, giving thought
to it and how it made the impression throughout the year
on theories, and I checked with some of them, not all of
them, casually, from time to time when the questions
came up, and I have a few telephone conversations and
contacts with these other teachers who were not very close
to the meeting.
Q. You can judge from that what kind of teaching they
are doing?
A. I can judge, as to that I can mark them on the
knowledge I have. As far as giving a complete, being
perfectly satisfied that I am correct in my judgment of
469
the teachers, I have to go out in the class rooms and see
their class room work.
Q. Are you completely satisfied with the ratings you
made this year?
A. No, I am not completely satisfied, and I have never
been satisfied in judging the worth of an individual.
Q. It is a hard job.
A. In order to be — nobody can do it, in my opinion,
satisfactorily. We might say that under the jury sys
tem many an innocent man has been condemned, and one
man has gone free, but that is the best we have. We have
[fol. 830] to use the tools which are to hand prayfully
and thoughtfully.
Q. Could you visit a teacher for the first time and sit
in the room ten or fifteen minutes and give us an accurate
estimate of that teacher’s teaching ability?
A. I can give an accurate estimate in a shorter time
than that, but in my colored schools I have stayed longer
than that.
Q. You mean looking at a teacher and watching that
teacher teach fifteen minutes once you would give an ac
curate estimate of the teaching ability on all of the levels
you have in the rating sheet?
A. I wouldn’t say on all of the levels of the rating
sheet, you have changed that question.
Q. That is right. What is the answer to that ques
tion?
A. _ The answer to that question is I cannot. I could
not sit there an hour and I can’t sit there two hours and
do it. I did not attempt to rate these teachers on all of
the points on that sheet.
Q. You did not? A. I did not.
Q. You left some of them vacant?
A. I did.
Q. In both the white and colored?
A. Both the white and colored, proportionately, I did
[fol. 831] not visit all white schools any more than I
made all colored schools. I am a sponsor to both.
Q. Did you rate the teachers in your own school ?
A. I did.
Q. Did anybody else rate them besides you?
A. Not to my knowledge. I suppose so, though.
470
Q. Did you turn these rating sheets in to Mr. Scobee,
also?
A. I did, on all points, on my own teachers.
Q. You could rate your own on all points?
A. In my own school.
Q. Because you knew them? A. Yes.
Q. Did you think the principals of the Negro schools
would be able to rate their teachers on all points?
A. I should judge so.
Mr. Marshall: Your witness.
Mr. Nash: No further questions.
The witness was excused.
Mr. Nash: May it please the Court, I would like for
the record to show a stipulation between counsel for the
respective parties that Miss Griffey has under her super
vision about a hundred and twenty-five teachers, Miss
[fol. 832] Hayes about twenty-two, and Mrs. Allison
about thirty. Is that right?
Mr. Marshall: Yes, sir.
Mr. Marshall: I f Your Honor please, I understand this
is the last supervisor or sponsor, and we wish to renew our
objection and move all of the testimony of all of the spon
sors and supervisors, so far as the subject of the rating
of the teachers, be stricken from the testimony.
The Court: So far as the rating of the teachers is con
cerned?
Mr. Marshall: Yes, sir, as to the rating.
The Court: Your motion will be overruled.
R. T. Scobee, called as a witness on behalf of the de
fendants, testified as follows on
Direct Examination.
By Mr. Nash:
Q. Mr. Scobee, I hand you Defendants’ Exhibit No.
3 on which appears a column headed “ Rating” . Will you
now state whose marks appear in that column?
471
[fol. 833] A. From the typewritten transcriptions of my
secretary.
Q. Are they your individual rating of teachers in our
school system? A. They are.
Q. In compiling the ratings for these teachers in the
Little Rock Senior High School, on what basis did you
base all the rating appearing in the system?
A. Recommendations of the principal, Mr. Larson.
Q. Do you have before you the individual rating sheets ?
A. Yes.
Q. Who prepared these individual rating sheets?
A. Mr. Larson.
Q. In arriving at the rating appearing on the sheet,
describe the mechanics through which you went.
A. The secretary sat before me with a master copy.
As she called the name of the teacher, going down the list,
I told her what to write, and she wrote that in there on
the basis of the information, whatever came from the
High School Principal.
Q. At the time you told her the figure to place on the
rating sheet, state whether or not in each instance you
consulted the rating sheets of the principal. A. Yes.
Q. What other information did you draw upon for
that?
A. Oh, what little I had, if I had any personal infor-
[fol. 834] mation about the teacher it colored it.
Q. Have you visited any of the class rooms in the
Little Rock Senior High School? A. A few.
Q. In preparing the rating sheet figures for the three
junior highs, state whether or not in each instance your
procedure was the same.
A. It was the same for each of the junior high schools.
Q. Did you have before you the individual rating
sheets? A. Yes.
Q. Who prepared them?
A. The principal of the school in each instance.
Q. Have you visited any of the class rooms in these
schools? A. A few.
Q. Have you made any effort to visit all of the teach
ers since you have been here? A. Some times.
Q. How many teachers do you have?
A. About four hundred and twenty-five.
472
Q. In preparing the rating figures for the elementary
schools, was the procedure the same?
A. Very similar, except in those cases I submitted to
the sponsors and the supervisors to prepare the sheets at
that time for me.
Q. Had you visited any of the classes of the colored
[fol. 835] elementary schools? A. Some.
Q. Did you consult the principal in any case?
A. In some cases I did.
Q. Did you have before you the individual rating
sheets? A. Yes.
Q. I hand you Defendants’ Exhibit No. 5, which is the
rating sheets prepared at Dunbar. Will you please initial
those sheets in your handwriting? A. With an “ S ” ?
Q. That will be all right.
A. (Witness turns leaves and writes upon certain ones
with a letter “ S ” .)
Q. State who were present when you made these rat
ing sheets appearing in your handwriting.
A. C. R. Hamilton and J. H. Lewis.
Q. Where was the meeting held?
A. This meeting determining this?
Q. Yes. A. Where this work was done?
Q. Yes.
A. In Mr. Lewis’ office at the Dunbar High School.
Q. Was it done in one meeting or more than one?
A. I think my ratings were done in perhaps two meet
ings.
Q. What processes did you use in arriving at the rat-
[fol. 836] ing on the individual points?
A. Well, the three of us had during these days visited
certain of the teachers in the school, then after we had
visited a few of the teachers we would go to the office,
I would have the blank sheet in front of me and I would
discuss with them, with the other two men there, upon
the particular teacher in mind as to each point, and as
a result of that discussion I checked on this sheet.
Q. Did your checking of the points meet with the ap
proval of the entire group?
A. Apparently did, I don’t recall any serious objec
tions.
Q. Do you recall any objections at all?
473
A. I don’t recall any that could have registered as
definite objections.
Q. Returning to Defendants’ Exhibit No. 3 (hands to
witness), state whether or not the rating marks for Dun
bar are your rating marks ?
A. They are the rating marks on all these schools as
previously outlined.
Q. No, I am asking about Dunbar.
A. Yes, I dictated the transcripts to my stenographer.
Q. And on what did you base these ratings?
A. These ratings were based upon the reports which
the supervisor of the Dunbar High School presented to
me.
Q. In preparing the ratings appearing in this composite
[fol 837] report, did you consult Mr. Lewis ? A. No.
Q. State whether or not Defendants’ Exhibit No. 5
represents Mr. Lewis’ rating?
Mr. Marshall: N oav, if Your Honor please, I don’t
know, I don’t see how he could testify to that.
Mr. Nash: It was made in Mr. Lewis’ presence.
Mr. Marshall: No, no, as I understand it, what he is
asking the witness is as to what Mr. Lewis’ ratings are, and
Mr. Lewis didn’t make any marks on any of these papers,
so the only way you can testify as to what Mr. Lewis’
rating was is to testify [— ] was in Mr. Lewis ’ mind.
Mr. Nash: I will withdraw the question and ask you
this.
Q. State whether or not the Defendants’ Exhibit No.
5, insofar as you compiled it, was compiled in the presence
of and with the consent of Mr. Lewis.
A. In the case of individual sheets in my handwriting,
that is true.
Q. State whether or not you requested your principals
to furnish you groupings for their teachers.
[fol. 838] A. I have done that on numerous occasions.
Q. State whether or not you made such a request of
Mr. Lewis. A. I think I did.
Q. I hand to you Plaintiff’s Exhibit No. 13. State
whether or not you have ever seen that before.
A. I can’t say for sure, but I believe I have.
474
Q. Do you remember when you saw it for the first
time?
A. No, but it must have been toward the close of
school.
Q. Read the first paragraph of the exhibit, please.
A. “ Mr. C. R. Hamilton, Supervisor Colored Schools,
Little Rock, Arkansas. Dear S ir : In attempting to rank
Dunbar teachers on the basis of training, teaching tech
nique, pupil response, Cooperation and community par
ticipation, I would group them as follows.”
Q. What was the purpose of your requesting this
grouping?
A. It was to obtain a ranking of the teachers within
the individual schools.
Q. State whether or not it was to be based upon the
general teaching—
A. It had nothing to do with the general situation.
It was an effort to obtain information for my purpose
on the basis of individual schools.
Q. In requesting the information, did you ask it be
posted upon the rating sheets previously used in rating
[fol. 839] teachers?
A. I do not think I made any reference to rating sheets.
I think it was an effort to obtain the opinion of the prin
cipal.
Q. I hand you Defendants’ Exhibit No. 3. You were
asked by counsel for the plaintiff to compare certain
teachers, and the record will show that in doing so you
made the comparison without reference to the column or
rating. Do you recall that? A. I think that is correct.
Q. I now ask that you compare just some of these
teachers this time with reference to the column or rating.
Would the Court like to follow this with the rating sheet?
The Court: All right. (Takes it)
Mr. Nash: We have an extra copy if the Court prefers.
Q. You were asked to compare a group of four col
ored teachers, Elizabeth Hamilton of Gibbs, and Nancy
Jackson of Gibbs, Danice Lee and Sarah Rice o f Capitol
Hill, with four white teachers, Verna Finn of Pulaski
Heights Grammar School, Ruth Jones of Centennial, and
Thelma Clapp of Kramer, and Lucile Holman of Parham,
475
[fol. 840] and asked you to refer to the composite rating
form and give your Comparison o f Elizabeth Hamilton,
of Gibbs, with Verna Finn.
A. With whom?
Q. With Verna Finn.
Mr. Marshall: I f Your Honor please, the question I
asked—I object to this question on the ground that the
question which Mr. Scobee testified to in answer to ques
tion by me was in reviewing the salaries of certain teach
ers in the year 1941-42, what did he have in mind that
he could use; so that since this rating sheet was not before
him at that time, certainly it would not be a proper
question to be asked as to that point now. If he wants
to ask as to the ratings of these individual teachers, that
would be different.
Mr. Nash: I asked him to make this comparison with
this information as of the present time.
Mr. Marshall: As of the present time?
Mr. Nash: Yes.
Mr. Marshall: Oh, all right.
[fol. 841] By Mr. Nash:
Q. Proceed.
A. Verna Finn, and who was the other?
Q. Elizabeth Hamilton, of Gibbs.
A. Verna Finn’s rating as two plus, Elizabeth Hamil
ton as four.
Q. What are the other comparisons. Give their de
grees and tenure briefly, and the salaries.
A. Verna Finn, A. B. Degree, five years’ experience in
Little Rock, three years’ experience elsewhere, teaching
3B and 2A, rating two plus. Do you want salary also?
Q. Yes.
A. Salary $933.00. Elizabeth Hamilton, Bachelor of
Science Degree, six years’ experience in Little Rock, ten
years’ elsewhere, teaching 5B and 4A, rating four, salary
$706.00.
Q. In your best judgment, how would you account for
the difference there, if it can be accounted for?
A. The difference, in which do you mean?
Q. Which teacher receives a greater salary?
476
A. Verna Finn.
Q. In your best judgment, is she worth the sum of
$933.00? A. I think so.
[fol. 842] Q. In your best judgment, is Elizabeth Hamil
ton worth $933.00?
A. Not on the basis of our estimate of the teaching
ability, she is not.
Q. In your best judgment, state whether or not Eliza
beth Hamilton is worth substantially more than $706.00.
A. I would not say substantially more. She is prob
ably worth some more.
Q. I ask that you compare Nancy Jackson, of Gibbs,
with Ruth Jones, o f Centennial.
A. Nancy Jackson, A. B. Degree, five years’ experience
in Little Rock, no experience elsewhere, teaching music,
rating four. Salary $665.50. Ruth Jones, L. I. Degree,
five years’ experience in Little Rock, five years’ experi
ence elsewhere, teaching 4A, rating two minus. Salary
$846.00.
Q. Are they teaching comparable subject matter?
A. They are teaching different subjects, but it is not
our policy to make any distinction at to rating between
these subjects.
Q. In your best judgment, is Ruth Jones worth the
sum of $846.00? A. I think so.
Q. In your best judgment, state whether or not Nancy
[fol. 843] Jackson is worth substantially more than
$665.00. A. Not substantially more, but some more.
Q. Is the difference in salary there justifiable in your
opinion?
A. Not definitely as to the dollars and amount, but I
think a difference in the salary would be appropriate.
Q. On what basis— so far as your opinion goes, what
estimate do you make of the teaching ability?
A. I think, in my judgment Ruth Jones is worth more.
Q. I ask that you briefly compare Thelma Clapp, of
Kramer, with Dani'ce Lee, of Capitol Hill.
A. Thelma Clapp, A. B. Degree, six years’ experience
in Little Rock, four years elsewhere, tea'ching 6A, rating
two, $987.00. Danice Lee, A. B. Degree, six years’ ex
perience in Little Rock, one year experience elsewhere,
teaching 3B, rating four minus. Salary $665.50.
477
Q. State whether Thelma Clapp, in your best judgment,
is worth the sum of $987.00. A. I think she is.
Q. Is she worth substantially more?
A. Well, I think she is worth some more.
Q. State whether or not in your best judgment Danice
Lee is worth substantially more than $665.00.
A. No, I wouldn’t say substantially more.
[fol. 844] Q. In your best judgment, is the difference in
salary there justifiable?
A. On a comparative basis, I believe the difference is
justifiable.
Q. Would you recommend Danice Lee for a salary of
$987.00? A. I don’t think so.
Q. I ask that you compare one more. Compare Sarah
Rice, of Capitol Hill, with Lucile Holman, of Parham.
A. What was the first one, please?
Q. I believe I mentioned Sarah Rice first. She is a
'colored teacher at Capitol Hill.
A. Sarah Rice, A. B. Degree, and seven years’ experi
ence in Little Rock, no experience elsewhere, teaching 5B,
rank, rating three minus. Salary $645.25. Lucile Holman,
B. S. Degree, eight years’ experience in Little Rock, no
experience elsewhere, teaching art, rating one minus. Sal
ary $1014.18.
Q. So far as this composite record shows, they have
comparable degrees, do they not? A. Yes, sir.
Q. And Lucile Holman has been in the Public School
System one year longer? A. Yes, sir.
Q. In your best judgment, does the one year of tenure
[fol. 845] justify the difference in the salary between
these two? A. I don’t think so.
Q. In your best judgment, is the difference in salary
justifiable ? A. I think yes.
Q. On what basis do you say that?
A. On the basis of superiority of Lucile Holman over
the other teacher.
Q. In your best opinion, is Lucile Holman worth the
salary of $1014.00? A. I think she is.
Q. Is she worth substantially more?
A. I think perhaps so.
Q. In your best opinion, is Sarah Rice worth substan
tially more than a salary of $645.00? A. I think she is.
478
Q. Do you think there is any discrimination there in
salary? A. I don’t believe there is.
Q. I will ask, will you say again when you came into
the Little Rock Public School System?
A. February 1, 1941.
Q. When did the contracts for the school year 1941-42,
when were they made?
A. I believe they were authorized by the Board of Edu-
[fol. 846] cation at the May meeting in 1941. It might
have been the April meeting of ’41, I wouldn’t say defi
nitely without consulting the minutes.
Q. State whether or not you made any recommenda
tions for changes of salary? A. No.
Q. Well, why not?
A. My information was so incomplete that I felt it would
be unfair on certain incompleteness of information to
make recommendations involving salaries.
Q. State the approximate time that the salaries for
1942— strike that, please. State the approximate time
when the renewal contracts for 1942-43 were made.
A. The latter part of May, 1942, which was within the
last three or four days of May. I am not sure as to the
date, 27th or 28th.
Q. State whether or not at the time you made your
recommendations you did not know the various rating
sheets about which you have testified.
A. The information had practically all been turned in
by that time.
Q. State whether or not you base your recommenda
tions, to any extent, upon that information.
A. To a slight extent only.
[fol. 847] Q. State why you did not base your recom
mendations entirely upon that information.
A. Well, I felt that it was impossible for me to have
an honest professional judgment as a result of the infor
mation I had at that time in order to make complete esti
mate on that basis only.
Q. For four hundred and twenty-five teachers?
A. Yes, there are four hundred and twenty-five teach
ers and numerous other personnel, and it is impossible to
me to know all of them as individuals.
Q. State whether or not in your best judgment the
salaries now paid to the teachers generally in the Little
479
Rock Public Schools are substantially in line with their
teaching abilities?
A. I would say yes, in general.
Q. State whether or not in your best judgment a dis
crimination exists based on the race and color.
A. I have not found such.
Q. Are you prepared to make this statement on your
reputation as a public school administrator with twenty
years’ experience? A. I think I am.
Q. I hand you Defendants’ Exhibit No. 3. He has a
copy of it. And I ask you, briefly compare each of the
[fol. 848] other teachers covered by your Cross-examina-
tion, showing their teaching abilities and salaries at this
time, and ask that you turn to Verna Harper, teaching at
Garland. She is paid a salary of $1041.00 as compared
to the salary of $706.00 paid to Elizabeth Hamilton, of
Gibbs. Examining her rating and comparing it with
Verna Harper’s, state whether or not in your best opinion
a discrimination exists there in the salary.
A. I do not think any discrimination exists in this
particular case.
Q. State whether or not Verna Harper, in your judg
ment, is worth the salary of $1041.00.
A. I think so.
Q. Is she worth substantially more?
A. Perhaps not.
Q. I ask that you turn to the name of Edith Hardage,
at Forest Park School, who has a salary of $960.00 and
ask you if you think a discrimination exists between her
salary and that paid to Elizabeth Hamilton.
A. I think not.
Q. In your best judgment, is Edith Hardage worth the
sum of $960.00? A. I think so.
Q. Is she worth substantially more?
[fol. 849] A. I think so.
Q. W hy have you not recommended her for the higher
salary?
A. I haven’t enough information at hand to make a
complete recommendation involving all phases of it, the
matter.
Q. I ask that you turn to Georgia Wage, teaching at
Forest Park—correction, Fair Park. She receives a salary
of $1041.00 as compared to a salary of $706.00 paid to
480
Elizabeth Hamilton. In your best judgment, is there any
discrimination existing there!
A. Perhaps there is some as between individuals.
Q. Is Georgia Wage worth a salary of $1041.00?
A. Probably not.
Q. In your best judgment? A. Probably not.
Q. In whose favor does the discrimination exist in this
instance?
A. In these comparative figures, it probably exists in
favor of Georgia Wage.
Q. The white teacher? A. Yes.
Q. In these other instances, has it existed in favor of
the colored teacher?
A. I am not sure about that question, a discrimination,
[fol. 850] you mean which one is favored of those two?
Q. In the several preceding.
A. Of these two, the white teacher, Georgia Wage, is
being favored. In other words, she is probably getting
nearer more what she is worth than the other is.
Q. As between Elizabeth Hamilton and Verna Harper
and Edith Hardage, with whom you have also compared
her, in whose favor has the discrimination in salary ex
isted?
A. Some cases it exists in favor of the colored teacher.
Some of them, I believe, were about right.
Q. That is the first one you have mentioned on it where
the white teacher was favored. Is that not so?
A. I think that is true.
Q. I ask, also, that you compare Jeanne Dupree, of Oak-
hurst, with Elizabeth Hamilton.
A. Jeanne Dupree?
Q. Receiving a salary of $960.00, and Elizabeth Ham
ilton a salary of $706.00, asking if in your best judgment
the difference is justifiable.
A. The difference is justifiable, but I think it should
be corrected.
Q. Whose, which salary should be corrected ?
A. I think Jeanne Dupree should possess a greater
salary.
Q. In whose favor does the discrimination there exist?
[fol. 851] A. In that case, it exists in favor of Elizabeth
Hamilton.
Mr. Loughborough: Is she the white or colored teacher?
481
A. Elizabeth Hamilton is a colored teacher.
By Mr. Nash:
Q. I ask that you turn to the name of Cordelia Davis,
in Gibbs, who receives an annual salary of $884.00, and
ask that you compare her with Pauline Jordan, teaching in
the Pulaski Heights Grammar School, who receives a sal
ary of $1429.00, who has an A. B. Degree and who has
been teaching in our Public School System for a period of
twenty-six years, one teaches 5A and the other teaches 5B,
and ask you to state in your best judgment whether the
difference in salary is justifiable.
A. Between Pauline Jordan and Cordelia Davis?
Q. Yes.
A. I think that difference is justifiable.
Q. On what do you base that opinion?
A. On the information I have at hand as to the evalua
tion of these teachers.
Q. State whether or not in your best judgment Pauline
Jordan is entitled to a salary of $1410.00?
A. I think so.
Q. Is she worth substantially more?

Q. State whether or not in your best judgment Cordelia
Davis is worth substantially more than $884.00.
A. I think so.
Q. Would you advise any raises?
A. Did you say have I?
Q. I said have you recommended any raises, based on
your ratings? A. Probably not.
Q. I ask that you refer to Emma Pattillo, also teaching
at Gibbs, and compare her with Esther Autry, teaching at
Centennial. It appears that each of them— strike that,
please—one has an A. B. Degree and the other a Bachelor
of Science Degree, one has been teaching here for twenty-
four years and the other twenty-seven. The white teacher
receives $1391.00, and the colored teacher $1012.00. State
in your best judgment whether or not the difference in
salary is justifiable.
A. Esther Autry and Emma Pattillo?
Q. Yes.
31—12,887
482
A. Probably is not.
Q. State whether or not in your best judgment Esther
Autry is worth the sum of $1391.00.
A. I think she is.
Q. Is she worth substantially more?
[fob 853] A. She is worth some more.
Q. State whether or not in your best judgment Emma
Pattillo is worth the sum of $1012.00. A. Yes.
Q. Is she worth some more? A. Yes.
Q. State in whose favor is the discrimination?
A. The discrimination is in favor of Esther Autry.
Q. The white teacher? A. Yes.
Q. Would you recommend any changes, based on the
information you have?
A. If general changes were being made.
Q. What would be your recommendation?
A. My recommendation would be that Emma Pattillo
be increased.
Q. I ask that you compare Emma Pattillo, whose rating
you have there, with that of Pauline Jordan, teaching at
Pulaski Heights Grammar School. It appears that Paul
ine Jordan, a white teacher, receives $1410.00 salary and
Emma Pattillo $1012.00. State in your best judgment
whether or not the difference is justifiable.
A. Some difference is justifiable.
Q. I f you were to make a recommendation, based on
your present information, what recommendation would
you make?
[fob 854] A. I think, perhaps, Emma Pattillo should
be increased.
Q. Would you increase the salary of Pauline Jordan?
A. I don’t believe I would.
Q. In this instance, you would say the difference is
in favor of the white teacher? A. Yes, sir.
Q. Are you able to say to what extent it is?
A. I am not able to say to what extent it is.
Q. I ask that you compare Emma Pattillo, also, with
Mary Schriver, teaching at Lee; the white teacher receives
a. salary of $1354.00, and the colored teacher a salary of
$1012.00, and ask that you state whether in your best
judgment the difference is justifiable.
A. In this case, I do not think the difference is justi
fiable.
Q. State whether or not you think Mary Schriver is
worth a salary of $1354.00.
A. I don’t think so.
Q. What would be your recommendation there?
A. If it were possible that the two salaries be more
nearly equalized.
Q. I ask that you compare the same teacher, Emma
Pattillo, with Grace Hagler, at Forest Park. She receives
a salary of $1418.00 as compared to the other salary of
$1012.00. What is your opinion there?
A. The ratings are exactly the same, therefore there is
[fol. 855] discrimination in their salaries.
Q. What recommendation would you make there, Mr.
Scobee?
A. I think in this case that Emma Pattillo should
be raised some and Grace Hagler reduced.
Q. In other words, Emma Pattillo is one colored teach
er who is not receiving as much as she should receive. Is
that true? A. That is right.
Q. I ask you to compare Cordelia Davis, of the same
school, Gibbs, with Grace Hagler, the white teacher receiv
ing $1418.00, Cordelia Davis $884.00.
A. [Is] Grace Hagler at which school?
Q. She is at Forest Park.
A. Compare her with who?
Q. Cordelia Davis. In your best judgment, is the dif
ference there justifiable? A. I think so.
Q. On what do you base that opinion?
A. Cordelia Davis is listed at a rating of four and
Grace Hagler as two minus.
Q. In your best opinion, is— strike that, please—be
tween these two teachers, do you think any discriminations
exist in the payment of salary?
A. If there is any, it is very slight.
[fol. 856] Q. I ask that you also compare Cordelia
Davis with Mary Schriver, of Lee. The white teacher re
ceives a salary of $1354.00 and the colored teacher a sal
ary of $884.00. State in your best judgment whether that
difference is justifiable.
A. Cordelia Davis and Mary Schriver?
Q. If you please.
A. I will say I think it is advisable.
Q. In whose favor does the difference exist there?
483
484
A. In favor of Mary Schriver.
Q. A white teacher? A. Yes.
Qi Can you state to what etxent it exists?
A. No, I haven’t attempted to measure the extent.
Q. I ask that you turn to Esther Autry, of Centennial,
and compare her with Cordelia Davis; the white teacher
receives a salary of $1391.00 as compared to a salary of
$884.00 for the colored teacher.
A. Miss Autry and Cordelia Davis?
Q. In your best judgment, is the difference in salary
justifiable? A. Yes, sir.
Q. On what do you base your opinion?
A. The fact that Esther Autry was rated as one and
[fol. 857] Cordelia Davis is four.
Q. As between these two teachers, do you think any
discrimination exists? A. I don’t think so.
Q. Do you know what school Fannie Cline teaches in?
A. The Pulaski Heights School.
Q-. I ask that you compare Fannie Cline, Pulaski Heights
Grammar School, with Vera Murphy, of Bush School.
Each has two years of college training. The Avhite teacher
has been in our public school system for a period of thirty-
three years and the colored teacher for a period of thirty-
two years. They each teach the 6A. The white teacher
receives a salary of $1455.00 and the colored teacher a
salary of $1012.00. In your best judgment, is that dif
ference justifiable?
A. Yes, on the basis of these ratings.
Q. In your best opinion, is Fannie Cline worth a
salary of $1455.00? A. Yes.
Q. Is she worth substantially more than that?
A. She is worth some more.
Q. In your best opinion, is Vera Murphy worth sub
stantially more than $1012.00?
A. I think possibly— on this basis I don’t believe she is.
[fol. 858] Mr. Loughborough: I could not hear that.
A. I don’t think she is.
By Mr. Nash:
Q. I ask you, also, compare Vera Murphy with Maude
Hariston, of the Pulaski Heights Grammar School. The
white teacher has three years of college as against two
485
years of the colored teacher. The white teacher has been
in our system for twenty-two years as against the thirty-
two years of the colored teacher. The wdiite teacher teaches
1A, the colored teacher 6A and 6B. The white teacher
receives a salary of $1380.00 as against a salary of $1012.00
received by the colored teacher. In your best opinion, is
that difference justifiable? A. I think so.
Q. On what do you base that?
A. Because there is a difference in the teaching ability.
Q. In your best opinion, is Maude Hariston worth sub
stantially $1380.00? A. I think she is.
Q. Is she worth substantially more?
A. Not much more.
Q. Also referring to Nell Jones, of Pulaski Heights
Grammar, and compare her to Vera Murphy. It appears
[fol. 859] that Nell Jones has the same number of years’
college training, which is two years. She has been in our
system for twenty-three years as against thirty-two of
Vera Murhphy, and teaches 6B, which is the same grade
taught by Vera Murphy. The white teacher receives a
salary of $1402.00 as against the salary of $1012.00 of the
colored teacher. In your best judgment, is that difference
justifiable? A. I think it is.
Q. On what do you base that?
A. Mrs. Jones has a rating of two, and Vera Murphy
of three plus.
Q. In your best judgment, is Nell Jones worth sub
stantially the sum of $1402.00? A. Yes.
Q. Is she Avorth substantially more?
A. Not much more.
Q'. Mr. Scobee, in your experience as a school admin
istrator in dealing with and employing teachers and recom
mending salaries, state Avhether or not from time to time
you find salary dfferences based on teaching ability to
exist.
A. Yes, that’s a rather common thing, in the experi
ence of a school administrator.
[fol. 860] Q. When you find such inequalities pxist, what
is your general policy?
A. When you are sure of the facts in the case, they
should be adjusted.
Q. Do you follow that practice? A. Yes.
486
Q. State whether or not you find adjustment neces
sary from year to year.
A. I think that would be true, yes.
Mr. Nash: You may ask.
Here the Court announced a recess for five minutes,
after which the Court re-convened pursuant to order for
recess and proceeded as follows:
R. T. Scobee, recalled for continued examination:
Cross-Examination.
By Mr. Marshall:
Q. Am I correct, Mr. Scobee, that in testifying to the
questions of Mr. Nash during the past examination and
in giving your estimate of the teaching abilities of the in
dividual teachers you used the rating sheet on Defendants’
Exhibit 3?
[fob 861] A. The composite, yes.
Q. And all of these ratings are your ratings?
A. They are my ratings as determined by the infor
mation as my previous testimony so shows.
Q. And when were they put on the composite sheet?
A. I think they were put on there about the first
week in June. It was after June the 1st, I am sure, I
don’t know just when.
Q. And I understand that Miss Bernice Britt was asked
to resign by you because of inefficiency.
A. She was.
Q. Prior to that time? A. Yes.
Q. Can you explain how you, at the time you prepared
this rating sheet, you knew she was so inefficient she
couldn’t teach any more, and you gave her the average on
it of three?
A. The report filed with me gave her a rating of three.
Q. What I am trying to get, are these your ratings or
somebody else’s?
A. The rating, as my testimony has shoAvn, came to me
from reports.
Q. Didn’t you check them over? A. Yes.
[fob 862] Q. And after you checked them over as to mat
ters of form you put it down there?
487
A. Yes. That is a transcription.
Q. Then it is not yours, also?
A. In that particular case, I assume it came to me.
Q. As of that time you made the rating sheet, did you
consider Miss Bernice Britt an average teacher?
A. No, I did not.
Q. And as of now you do not consider her an average
teacher? A. I do not,
Q. There is some testimony about Mr. M. C. Moser, a
teacher who teaches mathematics in junior high school.
A. I believe Senior High School.
Q. Senior High School. Will you go across and give
us the record there, including the rating?
A. M. C. Moser, A. B., thirteen years in Little Bock,
seven years elsewhere, teaching algebra, rating two plus,
salary $1536.98.
Q. Well, on the basis of that, what would you pay
another mathematics teacher with an A. B. Degree, the
same time of experience and a three minus rating?
A. The other teacher probably on the basis of these
ratings would be paid something less.
[fol. 863] Q. About how much less?
A. I have never attempted to figure that.
Q. All during your testimony, you have been able to
say so many dollars difference was justified on the basis
of the rating.
A. I didn’t say any definite amount.
Q. How much difference, in your judgment, is there
between two plus and three minus?
A. Oh, not so much.
Q. A hundred dollars?
A. I would have to know the individual teacher.
Q. Well, would it be worth five hundred dollars?
A. I will answer that question likewise.
Q. Well, then, is it true that the rating doesn’t de
termine your judgment?
A. Not entirely, only a small part of it, as my previous
testimony shows.
Q. Only a small part? A. Yes.
Q. What else did you take into consideration?
A. All I know about the candidates.
Q. Isn’t all you know about the candidate included on
the rating? A. Not all of it, no.
488
Q. Can you give us what would be the approximate dif-
[fol. 864] ference between three minus and two plus?
A. I couldn’t give you that.
Q. Aren’t they very close! A. Yes, very close.
Q. Everything down together, are thev very close?
A. Yes.
Q. All right, would you turn to Mr. J. H. Gipson, at
Dunbar High School. He has an A. B. Degree. Is that
correct? A. Yes, sir.
Q. Just like Mr. Moser, a comparable degree?
A. Yes.
Q. Mr. Gipson, the Negro teacher, has seventeen years’
experience in Little Rock and Mr. Moser has only thirteen ?
A. That is right.
Q. Mr. Gipson has four more years’ experience?
A. Correct.
Q. Mr. Gipson, the Negro teacher, has four years’ ex
perience outside of Little Rock, and Mr. Moser has seven
teen outside of Little Rock? A. Only seven.
Q. Only seven outside of Little Rock? A. Yes.
[fol. 865] Q. So the total number of years, Mr. Gipson has
one more year in teaching ability? A. Yes.
Q. But Mr. Gipson is rated three minus? A. Yes.
Q. And Mr. Moser, a white teacher, is rated two plus?
A. Yes.
Q. Do you say there is only a shade difference?
A. A very small difference.
Q. Up to that point, is there any justification for that
difference? A. Not that much, no.
Q. Not that much? A. No.
Q. At that point? A. No.
Q. There is one explanation, Mr. Gipson is a Negro
and Mr. Moser is white?
A. I don’t think that is the explanation.
Q. That is a fact? A. That is a fact.
Q. And this was before you prepared the salaries?
A. The information was, this sheet Avas not.
Q. Would you recommend an increase for Mr. Gipson?
[fol. 866] A. Mr. Gipson should be paid some more money.
Q'. Why didn’t you recommend it, that he get more?
A. I felt my information was incomplete, and I felt
there were other things and other cases Avhere recommen
dations should be made as to all teachers, and until my
489
information was complete, I was unwilling to make any
recommendation.
Q. Did you make, did you use this material in making
your recommendations for salaries for this year, 1942-43?
A. I think it probably influenced my decisions.
Q. Can you point out now any teacher’s salary that it
changed?
A. I believe it changed Bernice Bass’ .
Q. Is that the only one?
A. I don’t recall any others.
Q. All right, what rate did you give Miss Bass?
A. She has a four plus.
Q. Can you explain how she got a four plus and Miss
Britt got a three?
A. -No, I can’t; I did not rate either one of them.
Q. But your testimony is that you put these ratings on
there? A. I did.
Q. That you are reading from now?
[fol. 867] A. I did.
Q. Miss Bass gets a four plus. She is a teacher that
you thought enough about to raise her salary?
A. I did.
Q. And Miss Britt gets a three and you think so little
of her you got rid of her?
A. That is right.
Q. So, in your mind, the accuracy of that rating sheet
is not so good, is it? A. Not so good.
Q. Do you know of any school system of — strike
that — You have been studying school administration,
haven’t you? A. Some.
Q. Do you know of any school system in the country
that bases its salaries on a rating of teachers similar to
that there? A. I don’t recall any.
Q. So Little Rock is novel in that?
A. Little Rock is not basing its salaries on these rat
ings.
Q. All right, now, the rating of these teachers on in
dividual sheets. When they were made, was that done
after the case was filed?
[fol. 868] A. What do you mean, the ratings?
Q. The individual ratings for the individual teacher.
A. Part of them there, the ones that I did personally
were.
490
Q. When were these rating sheets turned in to you?
A. They came in to me, I will say, approximately about
the fifteenth day of May.
Q. That was after the case was filed? A. Yes.
Q. And it was after the answer was filed. Is that cor
rect? A. I do not recall.
Q. Didn’t you consult with the lawyers and give them
the information for the answer? A. Yes, I did.
Q. Don’t you remember you did that before it was
made with the rating sheet?
A. I believe it was right around twenty days after —
hear it fifteen days, would he after both the complaint
and answer.
Q. And doesn’t it so happen that with very few excep
tions these rating sheets, so far as individual rating
figures, justify completely the difference in salary, with
a few exceptions you have mentioned?
A. In may cases that is true.
[fol. 869] Q. Practically all cases, that is true.
A. Yes.
Q. Isn ’t it true now the major part of the white teach
ers’ salaries are higher than the Negro teachers’ salaries?
A. Yes.
Q. And isn’t it true that in the rating, practically all
of the white teachers rate very near to three. Glance
at it. For instance, in the white high school they mostly
rate one or two minus, which is exceptional; and in the
colored schools, normally, nobody gets anything but a
three rating, with a few exceptions. Is that true? Through
that I understand your testimony is that the salaries and
the ratings, one justify the other.
A. To a certain extent.
Q. To a certain extent? A. Yes.
Q. And all of them was prepared after the answer was
filed?
A. The completed report was prepared after that.
Q. And you didn’t visit the Dunbar and rate the teach
ers at all?
A. I visited them on April the 1st or March the 31st.
Q. That was after the answer was filed?
[fol. 870] A. Yes.
Q. Now, according to your testimony, you made a
three-column rating of teachers in Mr. Lewis ’ office around
about April? A. Part of it.
491
Q. Part of it? A. Yes.
Q. And then, I understand, it was a five-column sheet
was made up. A. Yes.
Q. And where was that made up?
A. You mean the one filed with me?
Q. The five-column sheet. A. For Dunbar?
Q. For Dunbar. A. I don’t know.
Q. It was after that April meeting? A. Yes.
Q. Why did you use a three-column sheet in April and
the five-column sheets later ?
A. Purely as a matter of having a little more refine
ment in the ranking. We thought the five would be better
than the three.
Q. Now, on the three-column sheet, isn’t it true that
most all Negroes run about an average, just about?
[fol. 871] A. Many of them do, some are higher and
some lower.
Q. All right, where does Susie Morris rate there?
A. Sligjhtly better than average, according to this
sheet.
Q. She has not got a single mark in the third column?
A. She has not on this.
Q. But when she gets up on the five-column, she moves
away farther beyond there.
A. Let’s see, I believe she did, yes.
Q. She went over to four, didn’t she? A. Yes.
Q. How does it happen?
A. I don’t know how that happened.
Q. All right, according to your testimony, her rating
there was a little better than two, there between you, Mr.
Hamilton and Mr. Lewis.
A. That’s not her rating sheet. Her rating sheet is not
in my handwriting.
Q. Were you there? A. Not while I was there, no.
Q. What was your idea? Where would you put her
on the three-column sheet ?
A. I do not recall.
Q. All right, you don’t know who prepared the five-
column sheets?
[fol. 872] A. I believe Mr. Hamilton, but I do not know.
I did not see it prepared.
Q. Where did you get it from? A. Mr. Hamilton.
492
Q. Did you give any, did you give Mr. Lewis a five-
column sheet to rate his teachers with? A. No.
Q. Why? A. I don’t know why.
Q. Were you interested in what he would rate his
teachers ?
A. Yes, I think I asked him for a grouping of his
teachers.
Q. And he sent it to you? A. I believe he did.
Q. But you didn’t follow it?
A. I consulted it some, yes.
Q. I mean, for example, Susie Morris was put in the
top group.
A. I didn’t take his recommendations completely.
Q. How was it you asked him to rate them and you
asked Mr. Hamilton to put them down on the five-column
sheets ?
A. That was for grouping them within the school,
itself.
Q. What I am testifying to -— what I want you to
testify to now is about this composite rating sheet and this
five-column sheet. You were not interested in Mr. Lewis’
[fol. 873] evaluation on a five-column sheet?
A. Not about that. I assumed that Mr. Hamilton had
consulted him.
Q. First, between the two, which do you prefer to have
for the Dunbar teachers, Mr. Hamilton or Mr. Lewis?
A. I look upon Mr. Hamilton as Mr. Lewis’ superior
officer, and I look to him.
Q. Isn ’t it out of the usual procedure since the princi
pal of the school, isn’t he usually given an opportunity to
rate his teachers?
A. I don’t know whether Mr. Hamilton asked him.
Q. You got the ratings from Mr. Larson for his school?
A. Yes.
Q. And I think you testified on the witness stand you
considered Mr. Larson a very good principal, and you con
sidered Mr. Lewis a very good principal. A. Yes.
Q. And I asked you, you got the ratings from Mr. Lar
son for his teachers and not from Mr. Lewis? A. Yes.
Q. You consider Mr. Hamilton is better fitted to rate
the teachers at Dunbar than Mr. Lewis? A. Yes, I do.
Q. What do you consider is necessary to rate a teacher?
[fol. 874] A. To know something about teaching.
493
Q. Do you think he has had more experience!
A. Yes, he has had more.
Q. His professional qualifications do not begin to
compare with Mr. Lewis.
A. He doesn’t have the advanced degrees, no.
Q. He don’t come from as good a school.
A. I think they are both very good colleges. I think
they are both accredited. He got his Master’s work
and, —
Q. No, he said they were evaluated and credited at
Cincinnati, but he never had his thesis approved. Then
on a professional basis, do you think Mr. Lewis has a
better professional background?
A. On training basis.
Q. He has better? A. Yes.
Q. And on the teaching in advanced schools such as
high school and up ?
A. I don’t know how much training both have done. I
have known both of them only a year and a half.
Q. Didn’t you testify Mr. Hamilton had more experi
ence in teaching than Mr. Lewis has?
A. I don’t recall whether I did, I know according to
his own testimony he had thirty years here in Little Rock,
[fol. 875] Q. I am trying to get at what made you think
you would rather have Mr. Hamilton’s rating than Mr.
Lewis ’.
A. Mr. Hamilton was the contact officer and had been
put there by the Board of Education for several years,
and I followed the usual procedure.
Q. Usual procedure is where there is a supervisor
present that he made the rating and not the principal?
A. In some cases that might he true.
Q. Isn’t that true, that in that particular school you
get both the rating of the principal and supervisor ?
A. I don’t have supervisors for the white high school.
Q. I am talking about the white elementary schools.
A. Not in all cases.
Q. You were not interested in Mr. Lewis’ ?
A. I was, or I would not have asked for it.
Q. I am talking about the five-column sheet.
A. No.
Q. You were not interested? A. No.
494
Q. When you testified that these three-column sheets
were prepared with the consent of Mr. Lewis, what do you
mean by that?
A. They were prepared as a result of our discussion of
the individual teachers.
[fol. 876] Q. You didn’t go over every item by item or
teacher and teacher and ask him what he thought?
A. I didn’t ask specifically for a “ yes” or “ no”
answer.
Q. Isn’t what you mean by his consent that he did
not object?
A. I don’t know, he didn’t object.
Q. And, therefore, you assumed that he consented?
A. He had an opportunity to object. I think my rela
tions with Professor Lewis have been pleasant enough
professionally for him to express himself.
Q. You didn’t think enough of him, professionally, to
ask for his rating on the five-column sheet?
A. No, I took it to Mr. Hamilton and I suppose he took
it to Mr. Lewis.
Q. Did Mr. Hamilton rate all of the teachers at Dun
bar ? A. I believe he did.
. Q. Did he rate the music teacher?
A. I think he did.
Q. And did he supervise the music teacher?
A. I think he did.
Q. Can you tell how he can rate a music teacher, or
don’t you have a supervisor of music?
A. I think we had, during the last year.
Q. Do you think Mr. Hamilton is qualified to pass on a
[fol. 877] music teacher?
A. Such a thing as general valuations, he might; spe
cifically, I don’t believe he could as far as the subject mat
ter, he could. I don’t think he is a musician.
Q. In your studying of school administration and in
your connection with the field, which I understand has
been quite some time, have you ever run across any system
where a man with a B. S. Degree is supervising a high
school?
A. I am not familiar with the organization of other
Districts.
Q. Well, what about Jefferson City?
495
A. Now, the principal we had was a special supervisor
there.
Q. No supervisor for the high school?
A. The principal.
Q. And he had better than a B. S. ?
A. He had an M. A.
Q. The principal of the white high school has an M. A.,
the supervising principal of the high school has an M. A.?
A. Yes.
Q. You think Mr. Hamilton is better qualified than Mr.
Lewis ?
A. I have perfect confidence in Mr. Hamilton.
Q. You are willing to accept his judgment as to the
teachers?
[fol. 878] A. Yes.
Q. And as to Susie Morris, vou followed his judgment?
A. Yes.
Q. What about the other teachers? A. Yes.
Q. Did it strike you as peculiar the ratings were differ
ent from the five-column sheet?
A. This was a work sheet, his report, the final.
Q. Did it strike you peculiar they were different?
A. Oh, might have.
Q. Doesn’t it strike you as peculiar where a teacher
ends up below or better than the average on one sheet
and on the next sheet she ends up four, far the other side
of average? Wouldn’t that strike you as something to look
into?
A. I would assume that the standard had changed.
Q. That the standard changed?
A. I don’t know whether it was his standard or his
report.
Q. Did you base it on his report?
A. On his report.
Q. Then, how can you compare them with the teachers
in the white school?
A. Because I assume that the analyses of his teachers
is just as carefully done as Mr. Larson’s.
[fol. 879] Q. But you could not compare them?
A. That is all I have.
Q. Does Mr. Hamilton do any supervising over any
white high school? A. No.
496
Q. He doesn’t even go over there on business, does he?
A. I don’t think he does.
Q. So he couldn’t compare a teacher in the Dunbar
School and a teacher in the white high school?
A. The purpose of this is not to check each one against
another but checking teacher against the same detail.
Q. Why did you tell Mr. Hamilton to check the Dun
bar teachers against the Garland Elementary School teach
ers?
A. He came to me and suggested his information was
somewhat incomplete, that the teachers of Garland School
were the teachers with which he was better acquainted,
and I told him to use all the information he had.
Q. I thought you said it was not to be on the compara
tive basis. A. It wasn’t.
Q. Didn’t you tell him to compare them with the Gar
land teachers? A. Yes.
Q. Can you compare a high school teacher with an
[fol. 880] elementary school teacher?
A. Yes.
Q. What about a laboratory teacher, teaching science?
A. There is nothing said about a laboratory teacher.
Q. Well, all of the teachers at Dunbar were rated?
A. Yes.
Q. How can you rate a lab. teacher with a teacher in
an elementary school?
A. Well, you have teacher and pupil response.
Q. Always?
A. No, not always, sometimes you would have.
Q. If you did not happen to hear the pupil response,
you couldn’t rate them on that? A. That is right.^
Q. In your mind, as administrator, are you willing to
testify this is in line with procedure to compile a rating
sheet like Defendants’ Exhibit No. 5 and compare teachers
in an elementary school and a teacher in a high school?
A. On these general things I think a comparison can be
made.
Q. Can be made? A. Yes.
Q. How do you rate them as a group ?
A. I don’t think of the group in any of this—
[fol. 881] Q. And it has nothing to do with salaries?
A. No, sir.
497
Q. At the present time, you don’t ever use it in fixing
salaries?
A. As a general thing, they measure some of the ele
ments that enter into salary, but as a final means of doing
it, they are not ever made.
Q. Can you say that as to the salary of the teachers
that you found fixed at the level when you came here and
the ones that have not been changed at all, are you familiar
with what I am speaking about, can you deny that race
or color had anything to do with fixing those salaries?
A. In my estimation or evaluation of the individuals, it
did not.
Q. Not as to anybody? A. No.
Q. But you have not evaluated all of them?
A. My information on them is incomplete.
Q. But insofar as you have gone, you are ready to
testify to it?
A. That is right. In the light of all the information I
have at hand.
Q. And you do not know what they were fixed on be
fore you came here?
[fol. 882] A. I have no information prior to February
of 1941.
Q. In your study of the teachers’ salary subject, I will
ask you if you have not found, as to qualifications and
experience, I will ask you whether or not these are not
two of the items used in fixing salaries, generally speak
ing?
A. I will say as elements they appear more often in
salary schedules.
Q. Than anything else? A. Yes.
Q. If you take the teachers and compare by profession
al qualifications and experience, is it not true that all of
the white teachers rank above the colored teachers?
A. In a good number of cases that is true.
Q. I think I asked you the other day to check and see
if you can find one exception.
A. No, I didn’t find it.
Q. So that is true when you carry them across that
level? A. My information is that is true.
Q. You couldn’t use as a yardstick—
32—12,887
498
A. No, it sometimes enters into salary schedules, but
I don’t think anything of it.
Q. I mean when you go down these Little Rock sal
aries— A. It may have, I don’t think it has.
[fol. 883] Q. What I am getting at, when you go down
and put them side by side on the basis of experience and
qualifications, you can’t explain the difference?
A. Well, I haven’t analyzed it, I don’t know.
Q. It can be true that it can be explained on the racial
basis?
A. I don’t know whether it could or not.
Q. You can’t give me one exception to that?
A. Oh, yes, yes.
Q. But you can still deny that race has entered in at
all?
A. Yes, so far as my conception of it is concerned.
Q. But you can’t deny that race was in there when the
salaries were first fixed.
A. I can’t deny it because I wasn’t here.
Q. You were not here? A. No.
Mr. Marshall: I f Your Honor please, we have several
tables here on both sides, and if Your Honor please, we
will, with your permission we will have them prepared and
file a stipulation and agreement between the defendants
and the plaintiff as they are very long and it saves having
to go up and down that list again.
The Court: All right.
[fol. 884] Mr. Marshall: Can you do that the same as
for the average salary?
Mr. Nash: Yes, I am quite willing to stipulation for the
admission of such tables as we both agree upon the ac
curacy of.
Mr. Nash: Is that all, Mr. Marshall?
Mr. Marshall: Yes.
Redirect Examination.
By Mr. Nash:
Q. Mr. Scobee, state whether or not you claim any
finality for your composite rating sheet?
A. I have never claimed any finality.
499
Q. Do you know of any better way of appraising teach
ers’ abilities as teachers?
A. At the present time I know of no other better way
with the number of individuals concerned, it is the best
thing I have been able to find at the present time, and if
I could get the information I want on it, it would be the
best judgment.
Q. State whether or not as an administrator in the pub
lic school system you would be willing to employ teachers
[fol. 885] on a salary solely based on degrees and experi
ence. A. I never have.
Q. Would you be willing to do it, in fact?
A. Not with the information I have had, no.
Q. State whether or not you would be willing to employ
applicants for teachers knowing nothing more about them
than their degree, the college from which they obtained
them and the number of years of experience.
A. It would be a highly risky business.
Q. You have worked both with Mr. Lewis and Mr.
Hamilton, have you not, in your capacity as Superin
tendent? A. Yes, I have.
Q. Have you found Mr. Hamilton entitled to your con
fidence as to his judgment?
A. I have confidence in his judgment.
Q. Are you willing to risk his judgment in the rating
of teachers ? A. I have done so.
Q. Have you any greater confidence in his judgment
than you have in that of Lewis? A. I think I have.
Q. What is the reason which you have?
A. For reasons already stated, his long experience
in supervision, his attention to the details of his job,
[fol. 886] and his administration, and his demonstration
or information to me about his acquaintance with his re
sponsibility.
Q. Has that confidence been created over a period of
time?
A. It has been created over the time I have known
him, that is, since February of 1941.
Q. The same length of time you have known Mr.
Lewis? A. I have known them both.
Q. State whether or not in compiling your rate sheets
the question of race or 'color entered into your mind.
A. It had nothing to do with it.
500
Q. State whether or not the fact that this suit has been
filed entered into your mind.
A. When this rating sheet was made?
Q. Yes.
A. The basic items of the rating sheet were signed up
and assigned before the suit was filed.
Q. Did the fact that this suit was filed affect your
evaluating on the individual points?
A. I honestly did not think of it, or think it did.
Mr. Nash: That is all.
[fol. 887] Recross Examination.
By Mr. Marshall:
Q. One question I forgot to ask you, Mr. Scobee. The
white senior high school, those teachers rated among
themselves or were they compared with individuals?
A. I think I have a report from Mr. Larson on a com
parative basis.
Q. Who did he compare his teachers with?
A. With those like Professor Lewis’ report did.
Q. He didn’t compare them generally with the ele
mentary schools? A. I don’t think so.
Q. You testified you never have employed teachers on
the basis of experience and degree alone. Is that correct?
A. No.
Q. Have you ever based their salaries on degree and
experience, alone? A. No.
Q. What did you have in your schedule in Jefferson
City?
A. The schedule was adopted just before I left, and
I do not recall the details in it, but I do know training
and experience were large, elementary factors, but I am
not competent to testify without it before me.
Q. As to those studies that have been made about
[fol. 888] salary schedule, is it not true that a majority
of the schedules are based on these two items?
A. I think they are the items that appear more often
than anything else.
Q. Would you be willing to follow a system of paying
salaries on that basis?
A. I don’t think so, because wherever schedules are
set on such arbitrary bases, they are generally considered
501
unsatisfactory. They are measuring sticks of which we
have our doubt.
Q. Are you acquainted with the different reports, I
understand you are a member of the American Educa
tional Association? A. Yes, I have a life membership.
Q. You read the reports? A. I have read some.
Q. Aren’t you in the minority on that theory?
A. As far as schedules are concerned, I think you
are correct.
Q. A majority of them are following that, of the pro
gressive school systems. A. Yes, perhaps so.
Q. You are not willing to follow that?
A. We have no schedule and have used none since I
have been here.
[fol. 889] Q. The question asked you was whether you
were willing to employ teachers on that basis alone, and
you said “ no” .
A. I don’t think we should do it. There should be a
method of evaluating services in addition to it.
Q. The question is, if some of the schools do employ
and do fix salaries of teachers, would you be opposed to
fixing salaries on these two items alone.
A. On these two items alone, the fixing of salaries on
these two items alone, I would be opposed to that.
Q. You admit you are in a minority?
A. Very decidedly.
Q. What else would you use?
A. I think we ought to have in the treatment of teach
ers the right of discretion, somewhere by somebody, to
evaluate them, and I don’t think that the lock-step sys
tem of salary schedule that are being adopted in many
places that take into account only tenure and training
are complete.
Q. And you would not be willing to base it on your rate
sheet? A. I would not.
Q. You would want something else?
A. I would want something more than this rating sheet,
this much and beyond that.
Q. You would want to know something about the in
tangibles?
[fol. 890] A. I would want to know something about the
applicant, and I would want it demonstrated, too.
502
Q. Therefore, you would depend upon a human equa
tion? A. We have to do it.
Mr. Marshall: You may ask.
The Court: Anything further?
Redirect Examination.
By Mr. Loughborough:
Q. We have gotten quite a ways from where we were
awhile ago, as I understand this bases of schedule that you
are talking about would take into a'ccount degrees and
length of tenure only.
A. I believe that is the way I understood it.
Q. According to that, a man might be the biggest crook
in the world, and if he was working with you, under the
tenure, he would get as much as the best man you have?
A. As long as he works for you.
Q. According to your way of thinking, you don’t believe
in that? A. That is right.
Q. But you believe in taking into consideration char
acter and not putting them on a level or parity?
[fol. 891] A. That’s what I believe.
Q. I keep talking about this particular schedule, but
I mean that list of pay to individual teachers now.
A. That is not a schedule.
Q. I want you to look over it; with the information you
have you don’t see any salary discrimination?
A. No, sir.
Q. Do you see any discrimination there on account of
race and color? A. I have not seen it.
Q. Comparing Mr. Hamilton with Principal Lewis, just
between the two men, whose judgment do you consider
the best about the ability of teachers?
A. I testified I took Mr. Hamilton’s judgment.
Q. His judgment is good as between him and Mr.
Lewis? A. Yes.
Mr. Loughborough: Yes.
Recross Examination.
By Mr. Marshall:
Q. Mr. Scobee, under the system of paying teachers on
experience and degrees, if you had a crook in the system
you would fire the crook?
503
A. If I found the crook, I would.
Q. Yes. Yes? A. Yes.
[fol. 892] Mr. Marshall: That is all.
A. Am I through?
Mr. Loughborough: Yes. (Laughter)
Mr. Loughborough: Provided, of course, we may want
you after Principal Lewis is on the stand. We want Prin
cipal Lewis on the stand, for he, on questions of counsel,
compared himself with Professor Larson, of the High
School, and he got a thousand dollars less in salary than
Professor Larson, and have questioned him about the
difference between them, the degrees and so forth, and he
said one of the important things to consider in estimating
teachers was character. Now, not as collateral to this,
but we want to ask you and promise to show by Mr.
Williams that Principal Lewis had Compared himself with
Mr. Larson and said he ought to have as much, and we then
offered to interrogate him about the irregularities of
money matters which he had had at school, which, of
course, would be an estimate of character that ought to
affect his salary. May we be permitted to produce the
testimony for that purpose?
Mr. Marshall: If Your Honor please, I think you have
[fol. 893] already ruled on that once.
The Court: Ruled to that effect, motion overruled, and
you may save exceptions.
Mr. Loughborough: I want to tell the reporter. (Walks
to reporter’s desk and dictates as follows:)
Mr. Williams will testify that he had Principal Lewis
before them for having borrowed from the school fund
moneys and from a teacher under him who had charge of
the school fund, and that he was before the Board for
a hearing on that and they reprimanded him and then he
was called before them again later, that was four years
ago, for borrowing money from teachers and not paying
it back, just, I mean, they accused him of doing that. Not
school funds, but funds belonging to the school.
Mr. Loughborough: That is all.
504
Mr. Nash: It is stipulated by and between counsel for
the plaintiff and defendants that counsel for the defend
ants offer H. S. Nixon, Clerk of the Pulaski County Chan
cery Court to show that the plaintiff in this case, Susie
[fol. 894] Morris, was never granted a divorce by the
Pulaski Chancery Court, on the basis that the plaintiff,
Susie Morris, and Professor Lewis both said that char
acter should be evaluated in appraising teachers. That
the Court sustained the motion— sustained the objection
of counsel for plaintiff on the ground that it is on a col
lateral matter, and that counsel for the defendants saved
their exceptions.
Mr. Nash: May we say to the Court that Mr. Marshall
and I have agreed to have written into the record copies
from the minutes of the School Board and a list of the
teachers prepared by the principals of the two high
schools and the three junior highs, the activities of the
teachers to show their extra curricula work, and some, I
see—we have in process of preparation a list of all the
teachers employed in our school system at the present
time showing their names, the college from which they
obtained their degrees, which we will want to offer in
testimony, and that probably won’t be ready until to
morrow morning. I know Mr. Marshall is going to object
to our offering it in the testimony.
Mr. Marshall: You mean the list of schools from which
[fol. 895] the teachers come?
Mr. Nash: Yes.
Mr. Marshall: We are perfectly willing to have that go
in after we check it.
Mr. Nash: May it please the Court, the defendants rest.
Defendants rest.

Whereupon, the plaintiff, to sustain their issues in re

J. H. Lewis, recalled on rebuttal:
505
Direct Examination.
By Mr. Marshall:
Q. Mr. Lewis, the testimony, I understand, is that some
time in April in your office Mr. Scobee, Mr. Hamilton and
yourself prepared a series of rating sheets for the teach
ers in Dunbar together.
A. Partially, yes.
Q. And while doing — have you seen these rating
sheets since that time?
A. I have not seen them since that time.
Q. I show you the rating sheet here that purports to be
[fol. 896] that of Miss Susie Morris and ask you is that
your evaluation of her.
A. It is my evaluation of Susie Morris.
Q. Was that your estimation of her in April?
A. It was not.
Q. Following that meeting, were you ever asked by
anyone in the school system to confer with anyone on the
rating of teachers? I ask you specifically if Mr. Hamilton
discussed the rating of teachers on a five-column sheet
with you. A. He has never done that.
Q. He has never asked your opinion about it?
A. He has not about any of my teachers.
Q. But he did ask you about the group? A. Yes.
Q. You sent him a group? A. I did.
Q. But he never did ask you to rate on the five-column
sheet? A. Never in his life.
Q. And he asked you the first of April, and has he ever
questioned your rating of Susie Morris?
A. On these various points, she would measure up quite
well on all of these points.
Q. You still think that about her?
[fol. 897] A. I still think that.
Mr. Marshall: You may ask.
Mr. Loughborough: No questions.

A. Yes, I have.

[fol. 905] Mr. Marshall: Your witness.
Mr. Nash: No questions.
Witness excused.
Mr. Marshall: If YTour Honor please, we have several
— we expect to introduce stipulations, minutes, and things
510
like that, and I don’t know what might come up over to
night. I am wondering if the Court shall be in session
at all.
The Court: Well, I think it will be better to submit
on briefs. I have an important case Monday which 1 will
have to try.
On October the 3rd, 1942, in Chambers, all counsel being
present, the following was dictated to the reporter in the
presence of the Court:
Mr. Marshall: At the close of the testimony in the case,
counsel for plaintiff renewed objections to the admission
in evidence of Defendants’ Exhibit 3, the composite rating
sheet for all teachers in the Little Rock School System,
on the ground just made to the admission of said exhibit,
and move that the exhibit and all evidence concerning the
[fol. 906] rating of teachers of the Little Rock School
System be stricken from the record.
The Court: Overrule the motion and objection.
Mr. Nash: I would like for it, also, to show that by
agreement of counsel the necessity, if any, of calling the
Principal of the Little Rock Senior High School and other
principals of the three junior high schools and secretaries
who prepared the typing on the said Defendants’ Exhibit
No. 3 was waived.
Mr. Marshal]: For the purpose of showing —
Mr. Nash: For the purpose of showing the mechanics
that were used in preparing that exhibit.
Mr. Marshall: That is it.
Mr. Nash: Is that all right?
Mr. Marshall: Sure, that’s the point.
Mr. Nash: Counsel have also agreed to copy in the por
tions of the minutes of the Little Rock School Board, also
[fol. 907] to file copies of the teachers in Dunbar High
School, Little Rock Senior High School, and of the three
junior high schools, showing their extra curricula activi
ties, also lists of all the teachers in the Little Rock Public
School System showing the name of the teacher, degrees,
511
if any held by the teacher, and the colleges from which
obtained.
Mr. Marshall: That is all right.
A true copy I certify.

‘ Hon. Committee on Teachers and Schools,
Little Rock, Arkansas.
Lady and Gentlemen:
For your information, I beg to submit the following facts,
and to make the following recommendations:
1. In organizing the elementary and junior highs for
next year, four elementary schools save one teacher each,
and the three junior highs save one teacher each. One
teacher is available from the Senior High on account of the
return of Miss Alma Spears, who has been on a leave of
547
absence; and Miss Vanda Lipscomb on leave of absence will
be back. In addition to these nine teachers saved, two
more will be saved by a different plan of organization in the
elementary schools. This will require two assistants, the
equal of one teacher. This is a total of twelve teachers.
[fol. 963] 2. The following eleven teachers will not be
back:
1 . Jacobs 7. Hall
2. Whitcomb 8. Steele
3. Emrick 9. Lambright
4. Beem 10. Albright
5. Hinton 11. Scott
6. Gibson
3. We shall need one additional teacher at Forest Park.
Thus, you see, the number of teachers not returning, and
the number available to fill places, balance.
4. I recommend the adoption of the attached report sub
mitted by Dean Brothers.
5. I recommend the adoption of “ General Business
Training” by Grabb & Slinker for Junior Highs vice Kirk-
Waesche “ Junior Business Training” . This will be so
handled as not to be any extra cost.
6. I recommend the selection of Naomi Hayman
(colored) at $100 per month vice Mattie McConico, sick.
7. I recommend the cancelling of contract of Theodus
Conner (colored) on account of unprofessional acts.
8. I recommend that the “ Citizenship Work Book” by
Mrs. Gannaway be introduced in the first six grades. This
book will cost the pupils around 30 .̂
9. I recommend that we employ Miss Mary Virginia
Chamberlain, Miss Ethel Woodall, and Mrs. Mary Bracy
as substitute teachers at $72.00 per month; one for High,
one for Junior Highs, and one for elementary schools. This
has been done before, but not for the past several years.
548
[fol. 964] I recommend the selection of Mrs. F. L. James
and Miss Ella Elliott at $50.00 a month each to fill the
assistants’ places mentioned in Article 2 above.
Respectfully submitted,
R. C. HALL,
Superintendent.’ ”

Members of the Little Rock School Board
Ladies and Gentlemen:
As some members of the Board undoubtedly recall, a
schedule of salaries for the Little Rock teachers was com
piled by committees of teachers in cooperation with the
Superintendent in the spring of 1928 and adopted by the
Board. The schedule went into effect that fall and was in
operation for three years, until the close of the year 1930-31.
Then the full force of the depression struck and the salary
schedule became inoperative.
During the depression years and while the schedule was
inoperative, teachers from outside were begging for jobs,
and some new teachers were employed at salaries out of
line with the schedule. Now that a measure of security
[fol. 1011] has returned, it would seem wise to place the
teachers back on the basis of the schedule.
In accordance with the idea of standardizing the hiring
and promotion of teachers on the basis of the 1928 sched
ule, this committee of teachers in cooperation with the
Superintendent made an investigation of the entire pay
roll of teachers and beg to submit the following recommen
dations for your approval and action:
577
I. New Teachers:
1. All new teachers to be employed at not less than
67.5% of the schedule of 1928, or $90 a month.
2. New teachers not to receive credit for outside
experience until all teachers begin to receive in
crements for experience.
3. That any new teacher with an approved A. B.
degree or equivalent will share in any increment
of salary voted by the Board each year after
employment.
4. That new teachers with three years of approved
college credit or equivalent shall share in each
alternate increment; those with two years or
equivalent in third increment, unless in the mean
time the number of college credits shall have been
increased to a higher level.
5. The schedule for new teachers shall be Elemen
tary $810; Junior High $910; Senior High $945.
[fol. 1012]
II. Adjustments for low salaried teachers in service:
1. The following compilation shows the salary that
each teacher employed since 1929 would have re
ceived had the 1928 schedule been maintained, the
salary scheduled in April 1937 for the following
year, the per cent that salary was of the schedule
salary, the amount of adjustment necessary to
make the salary equal to 67.5% of the 1928 sched
ule or to equal $810 per year, and the proposed
adjusted salary.

“ The Board adopted the following statement and author
ized its communication to the Teachers’ Council Committee:
The members of the School Board have carefully con
sidered the recommendations concerning salaries presented
by the Teachers’ Council and the various other teachers’
organizations.
From figures prepared by the Business Manager, and
also by the Teachers’ Council, it is apparent that on the
basis of expected income for 1938-39, and expenses on the
present salary basis, the expenses for the fiscal year 1938
will exceed the income by approximately $24,000.
Taking into consideration the case deficit of $37,000 at
the close of the present reserves of the District are approxi
mately $163,000. This figure is $2,000 under the figures
580
prepared by the Teachers ’ Council, for the reason that some
of the bonds in the Insurance Reserve are not worth par.
[fol. 1016] Obviously, in considering salaries, the problem
before us narrows down to just how much we are willing
for the reserves to be reduced, and how fast the reduction
should take place. We are firmly committed to the idea
that in order to maintain the financial stability of the
School District, and to take care of emergencies in time
of economic stress such as we had in 1933, the School
District should maintain at all times a reserve of at least
$100,000.
Since, on the present salary basis, the expenses for the
next fiscal year will exceed income by approximately $24,000
we deem it unwise to consider any increases in the teach
ers’ contracts for the coming fiscal year. We feel that if
the contracts are increased at this time and then lowered
again within the next year or two, the effect would be very
demoralizing.
Every member of our Board desires that the teachers
and principals shall at all times be paid salaries as high
as possible consistent with sound business practices and
financial stability. We believe, however, that the teachers
and principals will be happier in their work and have a
better feeling of social security if our affairs are handled
so as to prevent, as far as possible, fluctuations up and
down from year to year.
After taking all problems into consideration, we have
[fol. 1017] decided to make adjusted compensation on this
year’s contracts in an amount equivalent to % of the last
cut, which amounts to approximately $17,000, to be divided
among all teachers and principals, both white and colored,
on a pro rata basis. Contracts for next year will be re
newed on the same basis as last year, and since the income
for next year can only be estimated, we cannot at this
time make any commitment in regard to adjusted com
pensation at the end of the fiscal year 1938-39.
We hope that this decision will be accepted by your
group in the same spirit in which it is made by us. We
recognize that as a class the teaching profession is under
paid. This is a situation, however, over which we have no
581
control. You, of course, are aware of the fact that teach
ers in our District are very fortunate in comparison with
those in other districts in this State, as evidenced by the
hundreds of applications on file from teachers outside of
Little Rock. This condition is not due entirely to the
fact that the Little Rock District is more fortunate in its
revenues than other districts; it is due also to the fact
that this Board has always applied sound business prin
ciples to the handling of its finances, and this we intend
to continue to do.”

Ladies and Gentlemen:
We, your Committee on Teachers and Schools, beg to
make the following recommendations:
1. That the present corps of Principals, Supervisors,
Teachers, Clerks and Nurses, a list of whom is herewith
submitted, be selected for 1940-41, except those marked
“ deferred” , “ retired” , or “ resigned” .
589
2. That the beginning salary of three high school and
[fol. 1029] all elementary clerks (white) be $55.00 per
month and an annual increase of $5.00 per month up to a
maximum of $80.00; that the salary of the three Junior
High Clerks be increased $5.00 a month.
That the salary of the negro clerks begin at $45.00 per
month and an annual increase of $5.00 per month up to
$70.00 a month.
3. That the salaries of certain Principals be adjusted
as follows:
Present Incr. Total
Mrs. Laurene Allison—

Dear Mr. Scobee,
The street that I am living on has been
renumbered; consequently the address I gave you
has been changed. It now stands as: 911 South
Broadway.
I have enrolled In three very Interesting
oourses, and even though school has been In session
but two days, the work Is beginning to stack up
as high as these mountains.
I do hope you will be able to give me every
consideration as far as a position Is concerned In
the system. I fee l certain that I oould do the
work.
81ncerely yours,
Rhoda E. Wharry

Dear 8lr :
In applying for a position In the L ittle Rook school system,
I wish to supply this additional Information oonoernlng my
qualifications.
I have sponsored a folk-danolng club, here In Malden for
two years. The olub has been very active In a ll school
a c tiv itie s . Almost a ll of my training In this line has been
received In the usual type of danolng school, exoept for some
work I took at the University of Colorado last summer. I am
enclosing a snap-shot showing what sort of work we have done.
I have also had training In art and muslo, but I have no
college oredlt In either of these fie ld s. With reference to
art, I have painted stage scenery since I have been here, as
that has been the only need to f i l l . I can play the piano
when necessary.
I do not have a photograph to send now, but I w ill send
one soon. I shall be In L ittle Rock within the next three
weeks, and I would like to talk to you then. I w ill write
for a definite appointment.
ainoerely yours,
Rhode E. Wharry

Special Adjustment Plan
Negro Teachers
May, 1940.
The minimum entrance salary is now established at $615
for a teacher having an A. B. degree. An allowance of
$33.75 will be allowed for 30 semester hours additional
training while $13.50 increments will be allowed for ex
perience.
A teacher would receive % increments for the first two
years experience and whole increments for the remaining
seven times, i. e. A teacher with an A. B. degree and seven
full years of Little Rock teaching experience would re
ceive $615, the entrance salary, plus six full increments of
$13.50 each, $81, making a total salary of $696. Teaching
experience outside of Little Rock will be counted at y2
value up to a maximum allowance for ten years outside
experience (5 years credit in Little Rock). Little Rock ex
perience will be counted at face value.
Each teacher’s salary will be computed according to
these adjustment figures. I f his present salary is less than
this amount his salary will be raised to this figure. I f his
present salary is more than this amount his salary will
remain the same.
This plan will not adjust all the inequalities now existing
in salaries, but is an objective attempt to remedy the most
serious injustices among the low paid teachers.

Dear Sirs:
May 19, 1944.
As representatives of the Salary Committee of the City
Teachers Association, your petition relative to salary ad
justments was duly presented as a part of the agenda to
the School Board at their regular meeting April 30, 1941.
In view of the fact that revenues for this fiscal year did
not reach expectations, and that revenues for the year
718
1941-42 are definitely curtailed, the Board was not able
to consider salary adjustments or expansions in the school
program for next year.
The Board is making every effort to maintain the status
quo, but are not able to consider any changes in policy
that would involve an increase in expenditures for instruc
tional purposes.
It is regrettable that sufficient funds will not be avail
able whereby adjustments could be made possible.
Yours very truly,
LITTLE BOCK SCHOOL BOARD,

[fol. 1599] (Opinion of District Court.)
In the District Court of the United States for the Western
Division of the Eastern District of Arkansas.
Susie Morris, Plaintiff,
No. 555, vs. L. E. Civil Action.
Eobert M. Williams, Chairman; Murray 0. Eeed, Secre
tary, Mrs. W. P. McDermott, et al., Constituting
Board of Directors of the Little Eock Special School
District, and Eussell T. S'cobee, Superintendent of
Schools, Defendants.
Appearances: Scipio A. Jones, J. E. Booker, Myles
Hibbler, of Little Eock, Arkansas, and Thurgood Mar
shall, of New York, N. Y., Attorneys for Plaintiff,
Eose, Loughborough, Dobyns & House, and William
Nash, of Little Eock, Arkansas, Attorneys for the De
fendants.
Before Thomas C. Trimble, U. S. District Judge.
Trimble, Judge:
This action was instituted by and in the name of Susie
Morris, for herself and others similarly situated, and by
the City Teachers Association of Little Eock, Arkansas,
801
an unincorporated association, against Robert M. Wil
liams, Chairman, and the several other members of the
Board of Directors of the Little Rock Special School Dis
trict, and Russell T. Scobee, Superintendent of Schools
for the District. Upon motion of the defendants, after
argument of counsel and submission of briefs, the City
Teachers Association was dismissed as party plaintiff
and the cause proceeded in the name of Susie Morris, as
plaintiff for herself and on behalf of those other persons
similarly situated and affected.
Plaintiff alleges as follows: She is colored, a person
of African descent, and of Negro blood; is a tax-payer of
the City of Little Rock and State of Arkansas; is a teach
er by profession and training, regularly employed in a
public high school maintained and operated by defendants;
that defendants, over a long period of years have con
sistently pursued and maintained a policy, Custom and
[fol. 1600] usage of paying colored teachers and princi
pals less salary than white teachers and principals in the
system, possessing the same professional qualifications,
licenses and experience, exercising the same duties and
performing the same services as colored teachers and prin
cipals ; that such discrimination is being practiced against
the plaintiff and all other colored teachers and principals
in the system based solely upon race and color; that by
rules, regulations, practice, usage and custom of the state
acting by and through defendants the plaintiff and all
other colored teachers and principals in the system are
being denied the equal protection of the laws, in that
solely by reason of their ra'ce and color they are being
denied compensation from public funds for their services
as teachers equal to that being paid to white teachers
with equal qualification and experience for equivalent
services, pursuant to rules, regulations, custom and prac
tice of the State acting by and through its agents and
agencies. She alleges that she has to satisfy the same re
quirements as those expected of all other teachers, white
or colored; that she exercises the same duties, and per
forms services substantially equivalent to those per
formed by other holders of a like license, and that not
withstanding this all white teachers in the system holding
a like license with less or equal experience receive larger
salaries than does plaintiff.
802
She then alleges: “ Pursuant to the policy, custom and
usage set out above the Defendants acting as agents and
agencies of the State of Arkansas, have established and
maintained a salary schedule used by them to fix the
amount of compensation for teachers and principals in
the public schools of Little Rock which provides a lower
scale of salaries for Negro teachers and principals than
for white teachers and principals with equal qualifications
and experience and performing essentially the same
[fol. 1601] duties; the practical application of this salary
schedule has been, is, and will be to pay Negro teachers
and principals of equal qualifications, licenses and experi
ence with white teachers and principals less compensa
tion from public funds solely on account of race and
color.”
It is then alleged that by reason of these things being
done, solely on account of race and color, the plaintiff
Susie Morris and all others similarly situated and affected,
are denied the equal protection of the laws and due process
clauses of the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States
Constitution, and, that in enforcing said discriminatory
system and schedule defendants’ acts are the acts of the
State, and are void and unconstitutional.
She then sets out that: “ By virtue of the discriminatory
salary schedule for teachers established and maintained
by the defendants, hereinbefore set forth **#**, and the
custom set out * * * the plaintiff is denied an equal and
proportionate participation in the benefit derived from
that portion of her taxes devoted to the public school
fund and the payment of teachers’ salaries therefrom;
she is denied said equal and proportionate participation
in said benefit and return solely on account of race and
color, “ all of which she says is Contrary to the provisions
of the Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution of the
United States; that she has suffered special damage, and
is without remedy save this court issue a writ of injunc
tion as prayed. She then makes other supporting allega
tions not necessary to be set forth.
Her prayer is for a declaratory judgment and injunc
tion.
803
Defendants filed an answer denying some of the allega-
[fol. 1602] tions and admitting some, so that the issues
are squarely joined upon three propositions:
(1) The existence of a schedule of salaries by which
the plaintiff and those similarly situated and affected are
discriminated against solely on account of race and color;
(2) a policy, custom or usage to pay to colored teach
ers and principals less salary and compensation solely
on account of race and color; and,
(3) the constitutional question raised by the pleadings.
These questions will be considered in the order above
set out.
As in all Cases of a civil nature the burden is upon the
plaintiff to establish her case by a fair preponderance of
the evidence. The evidence in the case is very voluminous
and it would serve no useful purpose to include a sum
mary of it in this opinion, and it has been clearly and suc
cinctly set forth in the abstract filed by the defendants.
The Little Rock Special School District is a part of the
public school system of the State of Arkansas, provided
by the state pursuant to the mandate in the State Con
stitution, and to that extent constitutes a state agency.
The defendant directors are elected to their office by the
voters of the city, and serve without pay. They have the
duty and authority to employ such supervisory officers,
teachers, employees and servants as may be required to
operate the schools efficiently and properly. They are
charged with the financial affairs of the district, receive
the funds and pay them out in accordance with the law.
[fol. 1603] In the performance of their duties they have
the duty to employ the best fitted persons obtainable for
each position to be filled, within the statutory and con
stitutional limitations. In employing personnel they have
the duty and responsibility of investigating the qualifi
cations of the applicants and fixing their Compensation if
employed, to assign their duties and provide supervision
of their work. They have the right to and duty to dis
charge any teacher whose work they consider unsatisfac
tory, or under the law they may discharge a teacher for
804
any reason which the directors deem sufficient. They have
the right and authority to reclassify and change the rate
of salary of any or all teachers within the exercise of their
best judgment. They may also refuse or fail to execute a
new contract at the expiration of the old, and their action
in such case is final, whatever their reason for so doing.

293 Pac. 994, 996; People ex rel. Fursman vs. City of
Chicago, et al., 116 N. E. 158, 160.
The directors, in carrying out their duties, have em
ployed a general superintendent, and have assigned to him
the customary duties of such a position. With only one ex
ception the individual members of the Board of Directors
are without experience in the teaching profession, and they
rely to a very great extent upon the advice of the super
intendent in the operation of the schools, and especially in
the selection and employment of teachers, and renewal
of contracts. Mr. Scobee, the superintendent here, came
to the system on February 1, 1941, hence at the time suit
was instituted had been with the system just over one year,
[fol. 1604] He has testified at length as to his training
and experience, not only as a teacher, but as a trained
and experienced school administrator, and more particu
larly as to his experience in employing and rating teach
ers, determining their value as teachers, and fixing their
compensation, which work he began in 1923.
Within the system are employed supervisors who visit
the schools, observe the teachers and advise with them
in their work, assist them in improving their teaching
methods, and who report to the Superintendent their ob
servations and suggestions for improvement. At the re
quest of the superintendent or board they make rating
sheets, on which they rate the individual teachers under
their supervision for certain qualifications and abilities.
These rating sheets are in turn assembled into one rating
by the superintendent or under his directions, and the
information gotten in this way is Considered by him. Some
of these rating sheets have been introduced in evidence
over the objection of plaintiff. The supervisors in pre
paring these rating sheets did not know the salary the
teacher was receiving, and the ratings were not pre
pared with the fixing of salaries in view.
805
It has not been the practice according to the evidence
before the court, as in some of the reported cases, for the
principals of the schools to rate the teachers under them
and for the individual teachers to rate the principal of
the school. Such a practic would, to say the least, cast
grave doubt on the value of the ratings. A partial ex
ception to this practice was in the white senior and junior
high schools, and for those schools the system does not
provide supervisors, and there the principals would rate
the teachers, if such ratings be made.
[fol. 1605] (1) Plaintiff in support of her allegations of
a schedule of salaries by which she has been discriminated
against has herself testified and has introduced into the
record two documents which she contends support her
evidence and allegations. The other evidence as to a
salary schedule is that of the superintendent and indi
vidual directors.
Plaintiff has introduced from the minutes of the Board
a recommended schedule, submitted by the Executive Com
mittee of the Teachers Organizations under date of July,
1937, which was “ approved” by the Finance Committee,
on January 31, 1938, and “ adopted,” which contains the
following provisions: “ The schedule for new teachers
shall be Elementary $810; Junior High $910; Senior High
$945.” It is difficult to tell from a perusal of this exhibit
whether it is a schedule of salaries, a schedule of adjust
ments, or both, and if both where they merge.
If this is the schedule of salaries upon which plaintiff
relies, standing alone it completely refutes her contention,
as there is not one word therein even suggesting that white
teachers and colored teachers were to be paid a different
rate of salary. Furthermore at the time plaintiff filed her
suit she knew nothing of this document and only discov
ered it when given access to the records of the Board. The
evidence in this case clearly discloses that this “ recom
mended salary schedule” was not followed nor observed,
as the records show that many teachers, both colored and
white, were employed at salaries entirely different from
those mentioned in this so-called schedule.
However, it is plaintiff’s Contention that this was, in
fact, if not in words, a schedule for white teachers, and
806
that Plaintiff’s Exhibit No. 4 designated “ Special Adjust
ment Plan Negro Teachers, May, 1940,” was the schedule
adopted for colored teachers. This document plaintiff
[fol. 1606] testified she found in her box at the Dunbar
High School where she teaches, in the place where she
found other official communications. There is nothing
on the face of this document which shows it came from
the School Board, was authorized by the Defendants, or
that it had any official sanction whatsoever. So far as
this record is concerned it is an orphan, without father or
mother, and no more than a waif laid on plaintiff’s door
step. The plaintiff had access to the records and minutes
of the Board, and has introduced in evidence such records
and excerpts from the minutes as she desired or saw fit.
She had not pointed out to the court any place in those
records or minutes where this document was mentioned,
was before the board, or was considered or adopted by the
board for any purpose. The court by an independent
search has not found any mention in the minutes of this
Exhibit No. 4, nor anything to fix responsibility for or
knowledge of this document upon the directors. The evi
dence shows that plaintiff’s salary and that of some of the
other teachers at Dunbar High School, where she is a
teacher, are at variance with the provisions of this docu
ment, and it is not shown that the salary of any colored
teacher is in accord with it. This is the only schedule of
salaries for Colored teachers which the plaintiff claims
existed. She admits she has never seen a schedule for
white teachers, but thinks that the Board must have one,
that any Board must have a schedule of salaries.
Mr. Scobee, the Superintendent, testified that when he
came to Little Rock to discuss the matter of accepting the
superintendency he asked the Board if it had a schedule
of salaries and was advised that it did not have; that since
his coming he has never seen one, has never been in-
[fol. 1607] structed by the Board to follow one, and has
not followed a schedule of salaries; that he has fixed the
amount of salary he would recommend for each teacher
he employed by an investigation of the applicant’s capa
bilities, including all these intangibles which go to make
up personality and character, and has had a personal in
terview with the applicant whenever he deemed it neces
sary or advisable.
807
All of the individual members of the Board of Directors
were called as witnesses in this case, and each testified
they knew nothing of a salary schedule, had never followed
one in fixing salaries, and had never instructed the super
intendent to follow one in recommending salaries. The
three members of the personnel committee of the Board
testified they followed no schedule of salaries, knew of
none, and were totally unaware of the recommended sched
ule of 1938, if such it be. Mr. Scobee and Mr. Williams,
Chairman of the Board when the suit was instituted, testi
fied positively they never saw Plaintiff’s Exhibit No. 4
until they came upon the witness stand, and the other
directors were not asked about it.
The time when such .a salary schedule as the plaintiff al
leges and relies on must have existed and been in effect was
at the time of the bringing of this action and at the time of
the trial of the cause. The court is of the opinion and so
finds that Plaintiff’s Exhibit No. 4, “ Special Adjustment
Plan Negro Teachers, May, 1940,” was never a salary
schedule officially adopted, or promulgated by the defend
ants here, and was never followed by them. The court does
not find that the alleged salary schedule of 1938 which was
recommended and apparently adopted was such a salary
schedule or was ever put in force and effect. If it ever was a
[fol. 1608] salary schedule in force and effect, under the
evidence in this case it was never followed by the Board
or Superintendent, as all of them testified positively and
without equivocation they never saw, knew or heard of any
salary schedule. I f it was a salary schedule adopted by
the board it makes no distinction between white and col
ored teachers or principals, and does not bear or tend to
bear out plaintiff’s contention.
After a careful consideration of all the competent evi
dence adduced at the trial, and giving to all of the com
petent evidence the weight to which the court believes it
is entitled, the court is of the opinion plaintiff has not met
the burden cast upon her, hence finds there is and was no
salary schedule in effect at the times pertinent herein.
While plaintiff in her brief has to all intents and pur
poses abandoned her contention as to the existence of a
salary schedule, in force and effect she centers her attack
808
upon (2) the existence of .a policy, custom and usage, con
sistently and persistently maintained by defendants, of
discriminating against colored teachers and principals and
paying them less salaries than white teachers and prin
cipals of equivalent professional qualifications, licenses
and experience, who are exercising the same duties and
performing the same services as colored teachers and prin
cipals, solely on account of race and color. Inasmuch as
plaintiff has not pointed out to the court, nor introduced
any evidence of any state statute, rule, regulation, custom,
usage or policy by which she is discriminated against, her
whole contention must rest upon the maintenance of such
custom, policy or usage by these defendants.
[fol. 1609] The custom, usage and policy involved here,
and upon which plaintiff must rely, as in the case of a
salary schedule, is that existing at the time the suit was
instituted and at the time the cause was tried. Evidence
of any custom, usage or policy which might have existed
at any time prior to these pertinent dates, and especially
prior to February 1, 1941, the time when Mr. Scobee, was
employed as superintendent, has been admitted for what
light it might throw on the conditions existing at the per
tinent dates.
Plaintiff’s contention that there is a policy, custom and
usage in the fixing of salaries of colored teachers below
that of white teachers solely on account of race or color
is based largely on her belief that all salaries should be
fixed upon the basis of college degrees and years of teach
ing experience. In her testimony she says the only things
to be considered in fixing salaries are the degrees and ex
perience, “ and the salary should be based on degrees and
years of experience.” (Tr. 239, 240, 241) Dr. John H.
Lewis, Principal of Dunbar High School, called as a wit
ness on behalf of plaintiff, testified to the same effect.
Under her theory and testimony she would eliminate all
discretion in the defendants as to the amount of salary to
be paid the individual teacher, and under her theory, once
an applicant was accepted for a position the amount of
salary to be paid would be figured with mathematical pre
cision, and would become so much a matter of mathematics
that it could readily be reduced to a point where it might
be done upon an adding machine.
809
Unfortunately for this theory human capabilities can
not be reduced to a mathematical formula, for nature has
[fol. 1610] not so endowed the human race. The mind of
man is not like a jug into which one may pour so much
knowledge and information and pour out a measured
amount in return. Nor is it a wax disk upon which can be
impressed spoken words which upon the starting of the
mechanism is reproduced exactly as the original speech.
Let us carry her theory one step farther and say that
when an application is filed for a certain position that it
must be given a filing date, and when in the filling of such
a position the application is reached in its date order the
applicant must be employed at a salary specified by the
schedule to fill that position, and that the defendants have
no discretion or right to consider character, interest, effi
ciency, ability to teach, loyalty, or any of those intangibles
that enter into the personality of the individual teacher
and affect his value to the system. This is no more absurd
than to say that the defendants here, the directors and
superintendent, in the fixing of salaries, which represents
the teacher’s value to the system, are to take the degrees
plus the years of experience and get the amount of salary
to be paid, regardless of character, intelligence, capability
to teach and those other intangibles so important in human
relations.
It must be remembered at all times that the state by
statute, rule or regulation does not require school officials,
in fixing salaries of teachers, to fix them solely upon col
lege degrees plus years of experience as teachers. The
state has committed to these defendants, the directors, the
power and authority and cast upon them the duty of
passing upon and determining the qualifications of appli
cants for teaching positions, and have only prescribed the
minimum requirements applicants must meet. It has
[fol. 1611] left defendants free to exercise their judgment
and discretion, with no limitation on their authority to take
into consideration such other elements as go to the mak
ing of personality, and which in their opinion affects the
capability of a teacher and the value to the system as a
teacher, and they may and should take into consideration
many things such as character, disposition, industry,
adaptability, and those other intangibles which so vitally
810
affect the work of anyone dealing with those about them,
and more especially in the school room. The court is with
out authority to set up rules or regulations, to set up a
system of weights and balances, to prescribe a yardstick
for the admeasurement of the qualifications of any indi
vidual applicant or teacher, or lay down any method for
determining the value of a teacher to the system. This
court can only look at what is being and has been done
with one object in view, to determine if the teacher, the
plaintiff here, and those for whom she brings this action,
has been discriminated against solely on account of race
and color.
Gathered from all the competent evidence before the
court the procedure followed by defendants in the selection
of teachers, and o f fixing their salaries, is as follows: The
applicant files an application on a form prepared by the
Board. On this form there are many questions to be an
swered as to the applicant’s qualifications. The answers to
these questions include: Age, race, condition of health, con
dition of eye-sight and hearing, educational and profes
sional training, courses pursued, grades attained, degrees
conferred, teaching experience, subjects and grades taught,
grade or subject they wish to teach, marital status, num
ber of children, amount of salary they have received, sal
ary they would accept, religious affiliation, and so on.
[fob 1612] Attached to this application often there is a
photograph of applicant.
When this application is received if the superintendent
has such a position to fill, or if not when he does have, this
application is placed before the superintendent and he
studies it, along with others. I f he feels it is proper or
would be helpful to do so, he calls in the applicant for a
personal interview. In some cases he corresponds with the
college from which the applicant comes, those familiar with
the applicant’s work, the teachers under whom the appli
cant studied, and information is also secured from the
placement bureau or practice schools where deemed ad
visable. As noted above the applicant states the salary
acceptable and on personal interview this is discussed.
This statement by the applicant is not the criterion by
which the salary is fixed and the final salary may be more
or less than that sum.
811
The superintendent makes his recommendation to the
personnel committee of the board and gives them any in
formation they desire. He advises them what he thinks
the teacher will he worth to the system. Ordinarily the per
sonnel committee accepts his recommendation, hut they
may if they desire, and sometimes do, refuse the recom
mendation entirely or accept it on other terms. At the
next or some meeting of the board the matter is submitted
to the board, where it is ordinarily approved without fur
ther discussion. Sometimes members of the board ask
questions, and sometimes the applicant calls on individual
members of the board.
The Superintendent has testified at length, and on ex
tended questioning by the plaintiff on cross-examination,
and by defendants on direct, he has stated positively and
unequivocally that the question of race and color never
[fol. 1613] enters into and has never entered into his con
sideration of the salary to he paid the applicant or teacher;
that he has always been aware of the race and color, but
he has only considered the value of the individual to the
system in the position he had to fill.
As to the teachers already in the system the Superin
tendent was examined at great length by both parties. He
steadfastly refused to consider the teachers in groups of
races, or otherwise, hut considered them only as individ
uals, their individual capacities, qualifications and char
acteristics. Mr. Scobee, the Superintendent, came to the
system on February 1, 1941. He states that he substantial
ly maintained the 1941-42 salaries because he had only
been here about four months and did not have sufficient
information on which to base any extended modification of
salaries. Before the 1942-43 salaries could be fixed this
suit was filed, and knowing that any change he might make
would have been interpreted in the light of this suit, he
made very few.
Mr. Scobee has stated positively that in fixing salaries
for renewal of contracts it was his policy to recommend
what he thought each teacher was worth to the system;
that he had made recommendations for higher salaries for
individual teachers, and pointed out a colored teacher for
whom he made such a recommendation. He was ques-
812
tioned at length as to individual teachers and invited to
compare individual colored teachers with individual white
teachers, which he did, and was invited to explain any dif
ferences in salary between the two. He testified with entire
frankness and stated that some white teachers were not
getting what they were worth, that some colored teachers
[fol. 1614] were worth more to the system than they were
receiving, that some white teachers had been found not to
be worth the salary they were receiving, as well as some
colored teachers; that as to these their contracts had not
been renewed or would not be, and at least some of them
were no longer with the system. He frankly stated he had
made mistakes in his judgment of both white and colored
teachers and applicants, some of whom were no longer
with the system.
_ He testified he is perfectly willing to make recommenda
tions for increase in salary for individual teachers without
regard to race and color, but based on their teaching abil
ity and on all other factors which he thinks proper, which
he repeatedly enumerated. The court was very much im
pressed by Mr. Scobee’s sincerity, frankness, fairness, his
demeanor upon the stand, and the knowledge of school ad
ministrative procedures which he evinced in his testimony.
All of the members of the Board of Directors testified
specifically that they had never considered race or color in
fixing salaries; but that they were aware of race and color
of applicant and teacher. The evidence placed before the
court in the application forms filed by the applicants shows
that they were also aware of many other things about the
applicant, such as religious affiliations, place of birth, age,
etc. Naturally they were aware of -all these things, in
cluding race and color but their awareness does not by
any manner of means show they were prejudiced against
the applicant thereby.
The Board of Directors is composed of men and women
of high standing in the community. Mr. Robert M. Wil-
[fol. 1615] liams, who was Chairman of the Board when
this suit was instituted, is an insurance executive and has
been on the board since March, 1939; Mr. Murray 0. Reed,
a practicing attorney, since March, 1939; Mrs. W. P. Mc
Dermott, a social worker, since March, 1922; Mrs. W. S.
813
Rawlings, a former teacher, since March, 1934; Dr. R. M.
Blakely, a practicing physician since March, 1941; and
Mr. E. F. Jennings, a business man and automobile dealer,
since March, 1941. The court does not deem it necessary
to give a summary of their character, or list their qualifica
tions to serve as members of the Board of Directors. But
the court does want to say that many of the individual
members have been known to the court personally for
many years, and others of them a like period by reputa
tion. All of them are men and women of the highest caliber,
civic minded, desiring to serve their community, such as
“ swear to their own hurt and change not.” The court saw
them on the witness stand, noted their demeanor, their
manner of testifying, and had every opportunity to judge
of their frankness, their sincerity and their truthfulness.
None of them hesitated to answer any question asked, or
sought to evade auy fact or issue, and resorted to no sub
terfuge nor attempted to conceal information from counsel
or court.
In addition to the members of the Board of Directors
and the superintendent the court had the benefit of the
testimony of the supervisors for the different grades and
different subjects. These supervisors were men and women
of long experience, who come in contact with a great ma
jority of the tea'chers, watch them work, advise with them,
and know the individuals remarkably well. Their testi
mony supports that of the superintendent in his rating of
[fol. 1616] the individual teachers, and they are the ones
who make the rating sheets.
Counsel for plaintiff have pointed out some tables
which they have compiled from the evidence in this case.
A study of those tables show that there is a variance in
the rate of pay between individual teachers as between
white and colored. But the evidence also shows on the
same basis there is a variance in rate of pay as between
white teachers as compared with white teachers, and col
ored teachers as compared with Colored teachers.
There are some pertinent facts that it might be well to
note. It was the testimony and contention of the plaintiff
47— 12,887
814
that a college degree is a college degree regardless of the
school from which it came when considered as a basis for
fixing salaries. However, she did not take this attitude
consistently, but admitted that a college degree from an
accredited college was or possibly should be worth more
than one from a non-aCcredited college. It is a matter of
common knowledge, and probably plaintiff’s counsel would
not contend otherwise, that degrees from accredited
schools are considered more important than degrees from
non-accredited schools. This is self-evident that it is so
regarded, else why the distinction at all? Or why accred
iting agencies at all?
From the evidence in the 'case it appears that none of
the Negro colleges in Arkansas are accredited schools. In
the system there are 86 colored teachers, of whom 50 do not
have degrees from accredited schools, nor did they do
their college work in accredited schools. There are ap
proximately 320 white teachers in the system, none of
them without degrees from or some work in accredited
colleges, with the exception of those teaching cosmetology,
automobile mechanics, and other special subjects not in
cluded in college curricula.
[fob 1617] The Court is of the opinion that the defendants
have a right to fix the salary o f each individual teacher
in the system, according to their real worth and value to
the system as teachers, and are not required to set up and
adhere to some arbitrary standard of college degrees and
years of experience in teaching, some mechanical method
or means of determining salaries. The court is of the
further opinion that it is right and proper that they
should exercise their discretion and judgment in each indi
vidual case, taking into consideration such qualities as
they deem proper and essential. They are the ones to
whom, under the law and constitution, the state has com
mitted this duty, and as long as they do this without vio
lating the ‘constitutional prohibition, and do not fix these
salaries solely on race and color, their discretion and
judgment cannot and will not be interfered with by the
courts. They are human agencies, hence fallible, and have
made mistakes, and been guilty of errors of judgment.
This they frankly admit. But this court is without juris-
815
diction to review their errors of judgment or discretion,
but only their violations of the constitutional prohibitions.
The cases involving discrimination in salaries of teach
ers solely on account of ra'ce and color are of recent date
only, and those called to the attention of the court, or
which the court has found are:
Mills vs. Lowndes, 26 Fed. Supp. 792, (D. C. Md.) de
cided March, 1939;
Mills vs. Board of Education, 30 Fed. Supp. 245,
(D. C. Md.), decided November 22, 1939;
[fol. 1618] McDaniel vs. Board of Instruction, 39 Fed.
Supp. 638, (D. C. Fla.) decided July 3, 1941;
Thomas vs. Hibbetts, et al., 46 Fed. Supp. 368 (Tenn.),
decided, 1942;
Turner vs. Keefe, (D. C. Fla.) decided April 16, 1943.
In each and all of these cases except the last, Turner
vs. Keefe, there was either a definite schedule of salaries,
not according to names but according to positions, ex
pressly fixed by statute or resolution of the school board
for the teachers in the white schools and those in the col
ored schools, and the salaries for colored teachers holding
similar positions were substantially lower than the sal
aries for white teachers. The sole classification in the
schedule was according to race, except in the case of Mills
vs. Board of Education, there was a minimum salary
schedule, and the plaintiff in that case a principal was paid
less than the minimum provided by the legal schedule for
white teachers; with the further showing of a custom or
usage to fix the salaries of colored teachers lower than
white, admittedly on account of race and color.
After ruling there was discrimination in that case the
court said:
“ * v * I wish to make it plain, however, that the teourt
is not determining what particular amounts of salaries
must be paid in Anne Arundel County either to white or
colored teachers individually; nor is the Board in any
way to be prohibited by the injunction in this case from
exercising its judgment as to the respective amounts to
816
be paid to individual teachers based on their individual
[fol. 1619] qualifications, capacities and abilities, but is
only enjoined from discrimination in salaries on account
of race or color.
“ * * * It does not follow that because the positions are
equivalent the particular persons filling them are neces
sarily equal in all respects in professional attainments
and efficiency; and some range of discretion in determining
actual salaries for particular teachers is entirely permis
sible to the Board of Education. * * * But the Board has
full discretion in its judgment to pay more than the mini
mum to any white or colored teacher who merits it, pro
vided the discrimination is not solely on account of race
and color.” In the case of Turner vs. Keefe, et al., 50
Fed. Supp. 647, 651, the learned District Judge said:
“ College degrees conferred upon one and years of teach
ing experience do not of themselves qualify one for the
profession of teaching or of supervising of teaching and
do not constitute the sole criteria for admeasurement of
teacher worth. In addition to said factors, the ability to
impart knowledge to pupils, as well as one’s own tempera
ment, patience, instructional skill and performance, dis
ciplinary ability, physical health, personality and char
acter, interest in work, dependability and scholarship, at
titude, tolerance, habits and other factors may also be con
sidered and judged. * * * *
“ It is no doubt true that many of the ratings lack
scientific accuracy, inasmuch as several of the factors of
qualities set forth in the rating sheet are subjective in
[fol. 1620] their nature, which may have resulted in in
dividual inequalities in the salaries paid. However, the
evidence fails to indicate that such inequalities, as may
exist, are disproportionately numerous among the group
or class comprised of negro teachers and principals, nor
does the evidence warrant a specific finding that any teach
er is being paid less compensation than that to which she
is legally entitled.”
Taking into consideration all of the competent evi
dence in the case, and giving to it the weight to which
the court thinks it is entitled under all of the facts and
circumstances shown by the evidence, the court finds that
817
the plaintiff has failed to sustain the burden placed upon
her to establish the existence and maintenance of a policy,
custom and usage to pay colored teachers and principals
less than white teachers and principals, and thereby dis
criminate against them solely on account of race and
color.
This disposes of the two questions of fact involved in
this cause and leaves (s) the constitutional question raised
by the issues. It is the policy of the courts not to under
take to decide a constitutional question, a question of the
constitutionality of a State action unless no alternative to
the adjudication is open to the court. Having disposed of
the two questions of fact involved herein, the court will
not pass upon the constitutional question, as it is not
deemed essential to a final disposition of the case. See
Railroad Commission of Texas vs. Pullman Company, 312
U. S. 496.
[fol. 1621] The sole remaining matter to be disposed of is
the question of taxation of the costs. The plaintiff having
failed to sustain her contention by meeting the burden
cast upon her by law, the costs of this action will be taxed
against the plaintiff.
Proposed findings of fact, conclusions of law and praec
ipe for judgment may be prepared by counsel for defend
ants, copies furnished to counsel for plaintiff, and sub
mitted to the court for consideration and entering.

Western Division of The Eastern District of Arkansas.
Susie Morris, Plaintiff,
No. 555. vs. L. R. Civil Action
Robert M. Williams, Chairman; Murray 0 . Reed, Secre
tary, etc.; Board of Directors of the Little Rock
Special School District, et al., Defendants.
This cause came on for trial and the Court, having heard
the evidence and considered the stipulations of parties and
briefs of counsel, finds the facts and states the conclusions
of law as follow s:
818
Finding’s of Fact.
1. Plaintiff Susie Morris is a colored person, of Negro
blood and African descent, is licensed to teach in the pub
lic schools of the State of Arkansas, is a graduate of an
accredited college with an A. B. degree, and has been em
ployed for about six years to teach in the Public Schools
of the Little Rock Special School District.
2. Defendants Robert M. Williams, Chairman, Murray
0. Reed, Secretary, Mrs. W. P. McDermott, Mrs. W. F.
Rawlings, Dr. R. M. Blakely, and E. F. Jennings, constitute
the Board of Directors of the Little Rock Special School
District, and Russell T. Scobee, is the Superintendent of
Schools for said District.
3. The Little Rock Special School District is a corporate
entity created under the laws of Arkansas, and it op
erates the public schools in the City of Little Rock and
vicinity, and transacts its business through the Board of
Directors and Superintendent, defendants herein.
4. The Board of Directors have the authority and duty
to employ a superintendent, teachers, supervisors and all
other employees necessary to operate the schools within
the District.
[fol. 1623] 5. The Board of Directors have employed a
Superintendent, who performs the usual duties of such a
position, also supervisors or sponsors and assigned to
them proper duties, under the direction of the Superin
tendent, and a corps of teachers.
6. The District is supported by state taxation, the prin
cipal item of which is an ad valorem tax levied on real
and personal property in the District.
7. Pursuant to the Constitution and laws of Arkansas
the District operates separate schools for white and col
ored children, the schools for the white children being
taught by white teachers, and the schools for colored chil
dren being taught by colored teachers. There are 320
white teachers and 86 colored teachers employed in the
District.
8. Salaries of teachers new to the system, and salaries
of all teachers on renewal of contracts from year to year,
819
are recommended by the Superintendent to the Personnel
Committee of the Board of Directors, and usually his
recommendation is accepted, but may be and sometimes is,
departed from by the Personnel Committee. The Board
of Directors then passes upon the recommendation of the
Superintendent and Personnel Committee and affirms or
disapproves such recommendation.
9. The Superintendent examines the application filed by
the applicant and secures such information as he consid
ers necessary to enable him to fix salaries to be offered to
applicant for acceptance.
10. He secures some portion of his information on re
newal of conti acts from the superintendent or sponsors
who contact most of the teachers and observe their teach
ing* and also from rating sheets which are prepared at his
direction.
[fol. 1624] 11. The minutes of the School Board contain
nothing showing that a schedule of salaries for white and
for coloied teachers, or for teachers generally according
to the place they were employed, was ever established by
the School Boaid. When Superintendent Scobee was em-
* ployed by the School District he inquired of the School Di
rectors if they had a schedule of salaries for teachers, and
was informed that they did not have; and since he came
V y to this District he has never seen one, and has never been
V • instructed by the School Board to follow one; and had not
V- followed a schedule of salaries, but had fixed the amount
of the salary he would recommend for each teacher after
investigation of each teacher’s capabilities, including all
those intangibles which go to make up personality and
character. He had a personal interview with each appli
cant whenever he deemed it necessary or advisable.
12. Each of the individual members of the School Board
testified that they knew nothing of a salary schedule, and
( Y ^ had never followed one in fixing salaries, and have never
instructed the Superintendent to follow one in recommend
ing salaries.
lb. There is no State statute, rule, regulation, custom,
usage or policy establishing schedule of salaries for teach-
i R ers in the defendant School District whereby plaintiff, or
y *y / j>
1 \
820
any other teacher, is discriminated against on account of
race and color.
14. The rating's of the worth of the individuals as teach
ers shown on the rating sheets, correspond with the sal
aries paid the several teachers in the School District, and
show that the differences in salaries of the teachers is
based on differences in teaching worth, without discrimina-
S, * tion on account of race or color. The Oourt finds that the
r\ 's A ratings on these sheets were honestly made by the Super
bly - ,/Cijvisors and Superintendent, to show the worth of each of
'V the teachers, and without any discrimination on account of
race or color.
[fol. 1625] 14-a. The School Directors did not fix, nor
the Superintendent recommend that salaries be fixed ac
cording to arbitrary standards considering only college
degrees and teaching experience.
15. At the time of and since the institution of this suit
.ffhe defendants, as School Directors, and the Superintend-
̂ ents of Schools, respectively, had the custom, policy and
usage of fixing the salaries of the individual teachers ac-
^ / \ cording to what they honestly believed were their individ
ual qualifications, based upon their education, experience,
and the many elements of personal characteristics that
go to make up their characters and dispositions, and their
consequent value as teachers.
15-a. The testimony of Mr. Scobee, the Superintendent
and of each of the School Directors, and of each of the
Supervisors, was frankly given; and the testimony of the
Directors and Superintendent, that there was no schedule
of salaries and that in fixing salaries the colored teachers
and principals were not discriminated against on account
of race and color, is true; and also the testimony of the
Supervisors, that in their rating of teachers and super
vision of them there was no discrimination on account of
race or color is true.
16. The salaries of the several teachers in the Little
Rock Special School District were fixed by the school
authorities according to what they considered to be the
worth of the several teachers, individually, and that in the
fixing of any salaries there was no discrimination against
821
colored or Negro teachers, or in favor of white teachers,
on account of race or color.
[fol. 1626] 1/. There is and was no schedule of salaries
piepaied, adopted or used by the Board of Directors or
other authority of the District, fixing the salaries of teach
ers according to the positions they fill as teachers, or other
wise, and no such schedule of salaries was in effect at any
time pertinent herein.
18. No policy, usage or custom existed over a long
period of time, at the time of the institution of the suit,
or thereafter whereby plaintiff or any member of her class,
as colored teachers of the Negro race, is discriminated
against in salaries solely on account of race or color.
19. At the time of and since the institution of this suit
the defendants, as School Directors, and the Superintend
ent of Schools respectively, and all of them collectively,
had the custom, policy and usage of exercising their dis
cretion and judgment in fixing the salaries of the teachers
individually according to their individual qualifications,
and not as a class.
[fol. 1627] 20. Negro teachers have not been discriminat
ed against in the fixing of salaries solely on account of
race or color, hut salaries of all teachers have been fixed
by a consideration of each individual’s qualifications and
not by classes.
21. Salaries of teachers have not been fixed solely on
degrees attained and length of service.
Conclusions of Law.
I.
The complaint herein presented a substantial federal
question, arising under the Constitution and laws of the
United States.
II.
The Court has jurisdiction of both the parties and the
cause of action.
III.
There was no salary schedule in use by the defendants
at the times pertinent herein whereby she and those sim
ilarly situated and for whom she sues were discriminated
against in the payment of salaries solely by reason of race
and color.
IV.
There was no usage, policy or custom on the part of
-jthe defendants at the times pertinent herein, whereby the
plaintiff and those similarly situated for whom she sues
were discriminated against in the payment of salaries sole
ly on account of race and color.
V.
The sheets referred to in the testimony as rating sheets,
showing the characteristics of the individual teachers, are
admissible in evidence as part of the records of the School
District, and also because identified and authenticated by
the Supervisors and the Superintendent who made them
up.
[fob 1628] VI.
In fixing the salaries of the teachers, the School Board
% and Superintendent have the discretion to fix them at
y'^what they think they should be, according to the worth of
A- each individual as a teacher; and mistakes honestly made
by them in so doing may not be made the subject of com
plaints in court.
VII.
Proof that over a period of years the Negro teachers
have generally been paid less salaries than white teachers
of similar college degrees and years of teaching experi
ence, is not sufficient, of itself, to show there is discrimina
tion on account of race or color, as there are many other
qualifications that should properly be taken into considera
tion in arriving at the real worth of the teacher and his
or her proper salary.
VIII.
The complaint herein should be dismissed on the merits.
IX.
The defendants should have judgment for all their costs
herein expended.

THOMAS C. TRIMBLE,
U. S. District Judge.
Filed Mar. 28, 1944, Grady Miller, Clerk.
[fol. 1633] (Suggested Changes in Findings of Fact re
quested by Plaintiffs.)
Under number 9 of the Findings of Fact there should
be in addition the statement “ that the superintendent
825
gathers much of his information concerning white appli
cants by means of the telephone and letters to college pro
fessors and school officials. He did not either telephone
or write the professors of the Negro applicants for their
recommendations (R. 530-533). “ He seldom sought ad
ditional information about Negro applicants other than
the information on the application” (R. 588).
Suggested Additions to Findings of Fact.
1. All ot the public schools in Little Rock, both white
and Negro, are part of one system of schools and the same
type of education is given in all schools, are open the
same number of hours per day and the same number of
days. The Negro teachers do the same work as the white
teachers (R. pp. 296, 312).
2. Since 1938, practically all new Negro teachers have
been hired at the rate of $615.00 per year and during the
same time all new white teachers have been hired at not
less than $810.00 (R. 530).
3. No Negro teacher in the Little Rock School System
is now being paid a salary equal to a white teacher with
equal qualifications and experience (R. 862).
4. In past years Negro teachers have been employed
at smaller salaries than white teachers of equivalent quali
fications and experience and under a system of blanket
increases over a period of years Negroes have received
smaller increases so that the differential over a period
of years has increased rather than decreased (R. pp 129-
130).
5. In 1941 the defendants made a distribution of cer
tain public funds as a supplemental payment to all teach
ers. This money was distributed pursuant to a plan
adopted by Defendants whereby three Criteria were used
in determining how many “ units” a teacher was entitled
to ; 1, years of experience, 2, training, and 3, salary. After
the number of units was determined, the fund was dis
tributed as follows: Each white teacher is paid $3.00 per
unit and each Negro teacher is paid $1.50 per unit, After
the number of units was determined, the sole determining
[fol. 1634] factor as to whether the teachers received
826
$3.00 or $1.50 per unit was the race of the teacher in ques
tion (R. 136 and 527 and exhibits A and 3B).
6. After the 1941 distribution of the bonus Negro
teachers protested the inequality to Superintendent Sco-
bee, yet, another supplemental payment was made in
1942 and the same plan was used.
Wherefore, Plaintiffs pray that the foregoing changes
and additions be made in the Findings of Fact and Con
clusions of Law.

[fol. 1637] Affidavit.
Frances P. Hibbler, being first duly sworn according
to law deposes and says:
That she is a graduate of Kansas State Teachers Col
lege of Pittsburgh, Kansas, an accredited college, and re
ceived the degree of bachelor of science in education in
1937. She has been a regular teacher in the public schools of
Little Rock, Arkansas, for four years. She is a Negro
and is a member of the class represented by Susie Morris
in the above entitled action.
Said Susie Morris on the tenth day of March, 1944,
filed notice of appeal to the Circuit Court of Appeals for
the Eighth Circuit from the order of this Court dismissing
the complaint of Susie Morris and the members of the
class, including Frances P. Hibbler.
828
Affiant is advised that Susie Morris is no longer employed
as a teacher in the public schools of Little Rock. She is
also advised by counsel that since Susie Morris is no
[fol. 1638] longer a teacher the representation of the in
terest of affiant and others by the original plaintiff, who
maintained the action as a representative of the class, is
or may be inadequate. The interest of affiant and the main
action have questions of law and fact in common and her
intervention will not to any extent delay or prejudice the
adjudication of the rights of the original parties.
Affiant is advised by counsel and therefore believes that
the appeal in the above entitled case is meritorious and
that her intervention will not delay or in any manner
interfere with the present proceedings.
Affiant is further advised that no action has been taken
in this case since the filing of the notice of appeal and
that the case has not as yet been docketed in the United
States Circuit Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit.
That the attached Motion for Leave to Intervene is
filed in order that the rights o f affiant and others in the
class may not be jeopardized by the possible lack of legal
interest of the original plaintiff.
