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.

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. ATTEND PTA TONIGHT!
