Eagle Ranch opens new school
Eagle Ranch, a Christ
centered home for boys and
girls aged 6-18 in need of*a
stronger family support sys
tem, has opened a Christian
middle school for its resi
dents this fall.
A capital campaign began
earlier this year to raise
$4.65 million for this new
initiative and includes initial
program costs associated
with the school, construction
of a new school facility, and
an increase in an endowment
to help offset increased oper
ational expenses.
As is the Ranch’s policy,
no construction or develop
ment will take place until all
funds are secured.
The school opened Aug.
10 and has space for 28 stu
dents. The yearly calendar
will be the same as the Hall
County School System.
The school will be housed
in a modular building, on the
Eagle Ranch campus, for the
next three years.
In the fall of 2004, Eagle
Ranch hopes to open their
permanent school building.
The school is designed to
meet the unique intellectual,
emotional, and spiritual
needs of the children who
NGCSU professor’s book
highlights women writers
In the 19305, prior to
World War 11, four American
women in Germany and Aus
tria watched the rise of Nazi
ideology.
Those women, Kay Boyle,
Katherine Anne Porter, Jean
Stafford and Lillian Hellman,
were authors whose works
reflect on challenges to ethical
behavior in the stressful politi
cal climate which they person
ally witnessed at close range.
Thomas Carl Austenfeld,
department head of Language
and Literature at North
Georgia College and State
University, has written a book,
“American Women Writers
and the Nazis.”
With the subtitle “Ethics
and Politics in Boyle, Porter,
Stafford and Hellman,” the
book provides valuable insight
for historians, political ethi
cists and anyone looking back
at the rise of Nazism in that
prewar period.
Published in August by the
University Press of Virginia,
Austenfeld’s book includes
nine chapters and already has
generated favorable notices.
‘.‘With its emphasis on
women, politics and ethics,
‘American Women Writers’
provides a needed and intrigu
ing chapter on the relationship
of American writers to one of
the most devastating political
movements of the modem era
indeed, of any era,” said
Will Brantley.

“Through a small stu
dent/teacher ratio and a cus
tomized curriculum tailored
to the needs of each child,
we hope to see academic
gains of one to two grade
levels in our students per
year,” said Wade Pearce,
headmaster of the school.
“Furthermore, a child’s

Brantley is the author of
“Feminine Sense in Southern
Memoir: Smith, Glasgow,
Welty, Hellman, Porter, and
Hurston.”
The publisher’s advance
notice about the book states:
“Scholars of these important
American writers have long
neglected the significance of
the mingling of writing, ethics,
and politics in their work.”
“In ‘American Women
Writers,’ Thomas Austenfeld
restores ethics and politics to
the central places they held in
the lives and work of these
four women.
“By documenting the polit
ical and ethical apprentice
ships each woman served in
Germany and Austria, Austen
feld convincingly argues that
the genius of these writers
exists precisely in their ability
to continue the development of
their best creative sensibilities
in spite of and indeed
because of the ethical chal
lenges they faced as women
writers in the tense prewar
world.”
The book already is avail
able from Amazon.com for
$34.50, as well as from other
commercial booksellers.
