Tallulah Falls
adopts Guiding
Principle
At the February meeting of
the Tallulah Falls Board of Trus
tees a guiding principle for the
school was established. Although
not necessarily a new purpose
It was updated in keeping with
the changing educational needs of
our youth. The principle pro
vides for "a quality academic
school program with emphasis
on the development of the Intel
lect, character, and social liv
ing of Its students.”
Tallulah Falls School, Inc.,
owned by the Georgia Federation
of Women’s Clubs and operated
through its Board of Trustees,
has always been a leader in
education. "Today it Is more
imperative than ever that our
children be exposed to the best
in education, character Building,
and social living,” states Mrs.
Ben F. Cheek, Jr., president of
the Board. Tallulah has the
facilities, experience, staff, and
the "know-how” to offer the
Mrs. George Nelson sent in a
detailed report from the Preser
vation of Historic Structures
Committee. It was reported,
the Spieght-Jones house on South
Main Street can be purchased
for $2,000 but must be moved
to another site. Several de
sirable sites have been mention
ed, but none obtained; only one
site is available at presentwhich
is on County Street, near the
camp. In moving the house,
It would have to be divided,
which would add carpenter work
as well as a new roof.
The Early County' Historical
Society has been given a double
pin log house now located on
Georgia Highway 39, just south
of the Early-Clay County line-
R. E. Phillips of Shortervllle,
Ala., owner of Phillips Lumber
Company, Fort Gaines, Ga. has
given this house to the Society.
It was suggested that this house
be placed on the lot owned by
the City of Blakely on Chatta
hoochee Avenue near the Bap
tist Branch.
Mrs. Herman Richardson,
Early County Historian, reported
on progress in coordinating and
writing the History of Early
County, stating that she is work
ing on the census of 1840 in
Early County. The history com
piled and written by the late
D. H. McDowell has been re
viewed by the State Archives,
she said.
Mrs. Richardson hopes to in
clude family histories of Early
Settlers in this county in this
history and plans to distribute
genealogy sheets at the next
meeting to glean family histories
for the book.
Mrs. George Courtney ex
pressed interest in the Bartram
Trail, a study of trails through
Georgia will be held in Talbot
ton on Friday, March 20. Mrs.
Fred Brooks will accompany
Mrs. Courtney; trail enthusiasts
plan to hike two miles down the
trail.
The president announced a
Southwest Georgia Genealogical
Workshop will be held at Holi
day Inn in Albany, Saturday at
9;30 a.m.
student a quality program.
Mr. K. J. Harris, director of
the school says; "We have
said that a school must meet
the needs of its students, and
Tallulah is prepared to do just
that. The same dress will not
fit the tall and the short. The
same shoe does not fit every
foot. Tallulah’s ungraded math
program for the past six years
has proved the same analogy
on a learning level. Our mo
dern English program substan
tiates this theory. We may have
to change some ideas about sche
duling English at nine o’clock,
history at ten o’clock, and math
at eleven o’clock. We may have
to recognize that children do not
fit the same mold or even two
or three levels of molds. Let’s
take them where they are in every
area and move them as far as
possible, looking for the things
they do best and moving them
with extra effort to develop their
maximum. This is what educa
tion should be.”
Hie local Federated Woman’s
Club is a partner in the owner
ship of the school and encour
ages financial support. Students
interested in this philosophy
should contact the Director. The
school was established in 1909
and chartered in 1924.
