W.T. BODENHAMMER IS
GUEST SPEAKER AT PTA
W, T. Bodenhammer of Albany (left) gestures to emphasize
a point about advances in education since he was a teacher,
principal and coach at Blakely High School almost 40 years
ago; he is talking to Dr. Earl Taylor, (center) Program Chair
man and Howard Pugh (right) president of the Ella Jones PTA.
Mr. Bodenhammer was speaker at the September meeting here
Tuesday night.
W. T. Bodenhammer of Albany,
representative of McGregor
Company, Athens, Ga., was the
speaker at the Ella Jones PTA
meeting held here Tuesday night
at the Early County High School
Cafeteria, and in his talk on
“Know Your School” brought out
many interesting facts about both
Early County High School and
Early County Elementary School
with a faculty of 69 teachers,
15,000 books in the library, and
approximately 1 1/2 million in
vestment in the plants.
"Schools are making a definite
contribution in the economical
growth of the community", he
said. ”We have the finest reser
voir of people in Southwest Geor
gia to be found in any area of
the United States.” Mr. Boden
hammer contributed this to the
interest of the citizens and the
dedication of the teachers.
He called attention to the ex
cellent school plant, the low ratio
of teacher and pupil, the fine
curriculum, qualified teachers,
modern school facilities, but
there are values that can not
be put on paper, intangible values,
of which there is an abundance
of evidence, he pointed out.
He recalled a survey made
several years ago that showed
a direct relationship between the
amount spent on schools and the
number of telephones in a city.
If an industry is interested in
coming into a community, they
check out the entire section, they
consider the educational level and
spiritual qualities, he said.
Something is happening in the
economic development of the
community through education.
"Do students know how to hand
le materials?” he asked, "put
before the young active minds of
students materials and they will
read. The type of material is
important and we are willing to
depend upon our teachers in de
ciding what type should be used.
"How much is being done for
the spiritual life of the com
munity?” he further questioned,
“this matter is all important.”
He recalled seeing new television
sets in the hall, which will be
installed to use with the Ed
ucational-television program.
In speaking of dedicated teach
ers, he mentioned Miss Ella
Jones, the Latin and History
teacher at Blakely High School,
for whom the PTA is named, and
"Miss Ella’S” ability to get ex
tra work from students, thereby
doing a more through job.
Mr. Bodenhammer, who was a
teacher, coach, and principal at
Blakely High School about 40
years ago, was introduced by Dr.
