GTEA Hears
Lt. Gov. Smith
ATLANTA (UPI)—Georgia's
economic growth depends upon
its education program, Lt. Goy.
George T. Smith told the Geor
gia Teachers and Education As
sociation Thursday.
“Before we can really realize
healthy economic growth we
must not only establish but al
so stabilize a good education
program, both financially and
academically,” he said.
“We are heading in this di
rection for we have just passed
the largest appropriation for ed
ucation in our history — over
$650 million.”
However, Smith said, “It still
isn’t nearly enough to do all we
want to do.”
He said two problems made
the task harder—“the explosion
of student population and the
low base from 1 which Georgia
started.”
State School Supt. Jack P.
Nix told the association that
education fared well during the
last legislative session and “the
job at hand is to take the
appropriation we have and pro
vide every Georgian the best
possible education.”
