visiting tachers from the Georgia
school system is a deplorable one.
The very idea of such a thing is
enough to make one interested in
Georgia's school children shudder.
However, in response to the situ

Collins went on record as stating
that elimination of visiting teach-

It is rather hard to believe that
the commencement season is upon
us. it seems only yesterday, or the
day before, that w-e were talking
about what a mild winter we were
having. It is the young people’s
season, and they are taking over
now for the next few weeks with
the rounds of activities that mark
the end of the school year
How right the state superintend
ent was! The teachers in the class
rooms are not more important to
the welfare of Georgia than are
the visiting teachers.
A visiting teacher is a combina
tion welfare worker and truant of
ficer, although she is not generally
thought of in these capacities.
Were it not for these workers many
children now in school would be
kept at home by careless, thought- I
less, or shiftless parents and would J
never get an education.
The job of the visiting teacher
is to keep check on absentee lists
and to see that parents put the
children in school.
General Clay’s Candidacy for
Governor Is Sought tiy
Friends
By W. C. Tucker in the
Columbus Ledger-Enquirer
The retirement of General Lucius
D. Clay may bring about momen
tous developments in Georgia
politics.
The noted Georgia soldier, who
did an outstanding job as military
governor in Germany, was given a
hero’s welcome when he returned
to the United States the other day.
The high spot of General Clay’s
service abroad was his manage
ment of the airlift between West
ern Germany and Berlin tumultu
ous ovations were given as he ad
dressed the House of Representa
tives and then the Senate.
Speaker Sam Rayburn said that
“an old friend has come home
from his labors, which have been
stupendous and great”. The
Speaker asserted that “his imprint
will be left on world history.”

point: “If you want anything hall

if you want it well done do it

that all our life, it is not alto
