VOLUME 85 The Butler Herald "KEEPING EVERLASTINGLY AT IT \ S TJI E S_E^(Mt ET OF SUCCESS" BUTLER. TAYLOR COUNTY, GEORGIA. THURSDAY. SEPTEMBER 21, 1901. NUMBER 51. School Aid Bill Sent to President Mr. Grady James Died at His Home For His Signatu General Library University of Ga Night Bill Provides $900 Million for Far-Reaching School Project Program. WASHINGTON—The House sent to President Kennedy Monday the remains of his ambitious school aid program, thoroughly shredded in months of congressional pulling and hauling. The 342-18 vote was anticlimatic. It merely confirmed House pasage of the two-part $900-million bill two weeks ago. The Senate mean while had approved the same bill. All that was left of the Presi dent’s far-reaching school program in the bill was two-year extension of the impacted areas program and the National Defense Education Act. The first helps school districts W'ith a high percentage of children of federal employes. The NDEA is designed to strengthen the teaching of mathematics, science and lang uages. Some key backers of the adminis tration program have conceded that the possibility of a wider school aid program is dead for at least two years, and possibly until after the next presidential election. Both programs had wide support among conservatives. They had been wrapped into the Kennedy school program in an effort to win votes for the more controversial sec tions, such as S2.5 billion in federal grants for public school construct ion and teacher’s salaries. The fact that the extensions are for two years rather than one means they are lost to the admin istration as levers for use in seek ing a wider school program next year. Mr. Woodfin Grady James, 78, died at his home in Butler at 11:15 o’clock Sunday night. His death was attributed to a heart condition from which he had suffered for approximately 3 years. Mr. James was born in Macon County April 30, 1883, son of the late Mr. William P. James and the late Mrs. Sara Belle Barfield James. He spent most of his lift in Taylor County. He was engaged in farming inte rest until he was forced to retire on account of ill health.
