illiterates in the state with 440,000 not

Our Responsibility
As Parents
By MRS. MARY JANE HAMMACK
Early County Visiting Teacher
We hear, read and talk a great deal
about poor attendance and “Drop-outs”
in the Georgia schools.
The causes for poor attendance and
“Drop-outs” are numerous, complex
and inter-related. Some of them are
1. Consistent failure to achieve in
regular school work.
2. Grade level placement two or
more years below average age for
grade.
3. Active antagonism to teachers and
principals.
4. Marked disinterest in school with
feeling of not belonging.
5. Low scholastic aptitude.
6. Frequent changes of school.
7. Unhappy family situation.
However, the greatest cause for poor
attendance and “Drop-outs” in Early
county is Indifference on the part of
Parents.
A large number of parents in our
county make little or no effort to keep
their children in school.
Business and industry, in general,
are demanding a high school diploma
for jobs. The door to advancement and
further training is likely to be closed
to those who do not complete high
school.
As more students become educated,
competition for better jobs grows
greater. Recent figures show that al
most half of the out-of-school youths
16 and 17 are unemployed.
The young, unskilged worker is
always the first to suffer when work
is hard to find.
Graduation from an Early county
high school enables a student to
function effectively in a democratic
society. Education is both a personal
and economic asset which pays divi
dends throughout one's life time.
Wake up Parents! Make every effort
to have your children in school every
day so that they may develop their
God-given talents and abilities. It is a
challenge that none of us can afford
to miss!
JUNIOR WOMAN'S
CLUB MEETS
The November meeting of the Junior
Woman’s Club was held recently with
Mrs. Kate Wingate of Ellijay, Ga., as
guest speaker. Mrs. Wingate is the
State Chairman of the Craft Deépart
ment and she presented a very inter
esting display of some of her personal
craft accomplishments to the club.
Each member was challenged to gain]\
fuller use of her spare time through
some creational hobby which would
‘igive her self-expression and satisfac
tion. Members were especially urged
to enter and also encourage high
school Home Ec students to enter the
Vogue Sewing Contest.
The club has for sale at SI.OO each,
a 1962 calendar data book. The book
is filled with handy ideas and infor
mation and will make a nice gift as
well as serving as the yearbooks for
club members. If interested in secur
ing a calendar book call Mrs. Warren
Cleveland or any member of the Junior
Woman’s Club. Also we wish to re
mind the public that the $375.00 Mink
Stole will be given away December
16. The stole is on display at Boyett's
Department Store. Tickets are 50c each
or 3 for SI.OO.
Hostesses for the November meet
ing were Mrs. Vince Hilliard and
Mrs. Harry Prater.
