FEMALE WORK FORCE
In America today, 43 per
cent of all women over 16
work, a statistic that should
rise to 60 per cent by the end
of the decade. Fifty-six per
cent of the current female
work force is married, half
with school children in the six
to 17 age bracket, according to
home economists with the
University of Georgia Coopera
tive Extension Service.
Harwell’s words, “gives
technically skilled workers a
chance to advance to a
supervisory level almost im
mediately—and, of course, fill
Army needs for vocational
specialists.” This program will
begin on December 1.
The raise, the Army’s second
in 1973, and the accelerated
promotion system are part of
the military’s continued all-out
effort to build a voluntary
force. “These benefits are
certainly going to make my
recruiting job easier,” Harwell
commented. “There just aren’t
many private employers who
can match the Army’s job
offer!”

Library Scheduling
At Cumming Upper
This year, Miss Euel
Penland, librarian at Cumming
Upper Elementary School,
scheduled all eighth grade
classes to come to the library
on Mondays and all seventh
grade classes to come to the
library on Tuesdays.
Other days are open for
teachers to schedule classes or
send small groups as class
interest demands.
The idea has caught on so
well we have to ask teachers to
reserve time in advance.
Miss Ann Perry’s Spanish
classes used resource books to
help them learn about people
who live in Spanish speaking
countries.
This is the first year Spanish
has been taught in our school.
Science teachers have brought
all their classes to do research
on such subjects as insects,
flatworms, clouds, solar
system and leaves; history
classes have searched for in
teresting facts about Georgia.
English teachers have pulled
Newberry Award books for
class reports. Home economics
An exciting change
to the swirling modern design
in red-white-and-blue.
classes have used magazines to
find answers to consumer
problems and find recipes.
Teachers have used the time to
browse and are pleased to find
film strips, transparencies,
books and magazines which
help motivate the desire to
learn.
Mrs. Matlyn Singleton, our
full time library aide, helps
make it possible for us to have
open scheduling. She remarked
at the close of a busy day “it
sure keeps us on the move to
give all students the op
portunity to check out books
and magazines in two days.”

rewarding when they see

Israeli roads more
