This Week’s Editorial
Especially For Women
New Wave
Os Births
The birth rate is back in the news.
After a decade-long decline to a current lowest-in
history level of 17.4 (the number of live births per 1,000
women of child-bearing age), there are, population an
alysts report, unmistakable signs that the U. S. birth
rate is bottoming out.
Not only that but 1968 is showing a sufficiently signifi
cant increase in total births over last year to indicate the
beginning of a new upward trend likely to continue for
a number of years.
Blame it on the war—not Vietnam but World War 11.
In the baby boom that began in 1946 and continued
through 1957, 65 million Americans were bom—almost
one-third of the nation’s current population. The vanguard
of this postwar crop of citizens has now reached the family
producing age and birth figures are beginning to show it.
No cause for alarm, however. The American population
may be swelling somewhat more noticeably, but it is not
yet exactly exploding. The nation’s resources, if intelli
gently managed and distributed, are more than adequate
to provide for a much larger population than at present.
But the world as a whole is not so fortunate. Even if
U. S. births climb back to the level of 10 years ago—2s
per I,ooo —it will be modest in comparison to the gallop
ing rates of many much less well-endowed countries.
A recent session of population experts at Columbia
University issued yet another warning of disaster in the
very near future unless birth rates are braked. A predicted
doubling of the world population, to six or seven billion,
would defeat current efforts, as successful as they have
been in some areas, to bring the food-population ratio into
balance.
One country where the problem is particularly acute,
India, is trying a novel approach in spreading the family
planning message. Multicolored signs bearing such slogans
as “Two or Three Children Are Enough” are being affixed
to locomotives in hopes of getting the word across to
millions who ride trains and visit railway stations daily.
It is just as well that the American predicament does not
require a comparable effort relying on a dominant trans
portation system. A slogan-embalzoned jet plane just
wouldn’t have the same effect.
High Rate
Os Dropouts
WAYCROSS JOURNAL - HERALD
The next legislature will be asked to support a program
designed to help curb the shocking rate of dropouts in
Georgia schools.
Veteran state school board Chairman James S. Peters
noted at a recent meeting of the board that “if you gentle
men in the legislature don’t help us reach these 17,500
(high school dropouts), 1 don’t know what we will do.”
The State Board of Education is seeking sl4 million for
programs designed to lower teacher-pupil ratio and to
establish a statewide kindergarten system.
It is the contention of State School Supt. Jack Nix and
other educators that if an effective approach is to be made
to the dropout problem it must be made in the elementary
schools.
A well-operated kindergarten, schoolmen believe,
would serve the purpose of getting the child off on the
right foot in his school career.
A lower teacher-pupil ratio would enable teachers to
give more time and consideration to their pupils, parti
cularly those with special learning problems.
Educators argue among themselves about various ways
to hold the interest of the child—to stimulate him in the
learning processes.
But they agree that the addition of a kindergarten pro
gram to the public school program and a lowering of the
teacher-pupil ratio would be a step in the right direction.
The legislature should give its serious consideration to
these proposals at a time when thousands of Georgia
youths are handicapping themselves by leaving the class
room too soon.

BERRY’S WORLD
“Maybe they ought to start

broadcast time again!”
MY A
ANSWER Cl
No Big Money
I am used to doing without th
ings as I come from a poor fa
mily, but it hurts me because I
cannot give my children things
they want so very much. I
have never been a big money
earner. H.M.
Our Lord told His disciples:
“A man’s life consisteth not in
the abundance of the things whi
ch he possesseth.” If you are a
Christian and have a Christian
home, you are giving your child
ren the most precious things to
be had, things which life
worth living now and which will
last for all eternity.
One of the worst things which
can happen to children is to have
their minds filled with material
things to the exclusion of eter
nal values. The Bible says:
"Godliness with contentment
is great gain. Having food and
raiment let us be therewith con
tent.’’
I can well understand your de
sire to give things to your child
ren. But, if you teach them to
know the joy of the Lord and to
distinguish between true values
and the things which perish with
the using, you will be giving
them somethng worth infinitely
more than if you were showering
them with presents.
Let them be conscious of your
love and let them st o the joy you
have in the Lord. The Bible says
‘‘And be content with such th
ings as ye have: for He hath
said, I will never leave thee, nor
forsake thee.” If faith in Christ
dominates your home, it alrea
dy is a foretaste of heaven.
