Education pays dividends I
Each of us will admit that truly
education pays dividends. But
how great are the dividends that
our children will receive when
they graduate from the schools
in our county?
As our nation celebrates
American Education Week and
joins together to say a brief
thanks to those dedicated school
personnel who spend their lives
helping to shape young lives in
to healthy happy citizens that
will make America stronger
tomorrow, let us think briefly
for a moment what education
really means.
First education pays divi
dends in better human relations.
Yes, if we are educated to think
not only of our problems and
differences, then we are better
able to understand our fellow
man and have a firmer faith in
Almighty God.
We can definitely look for
ward to improved earning pow
er for every bit of education
we acquire. Statistics prove
that as the years of school
and college increase, the sal
ary scale will increase even
more rapidly. Of course as
earning power increases among
the people, the nation’s economy
will also grow.
Personal fulfillment is some
thing that many of us look for
ward to as education increases.
As a teacher today, the pay
scale is not as high as many
other vocations which requires
less education but along with
the salary goes the personal sa
tisfaction of knowing that an im
portant job is being done.
Education tends to increase
one’s interest in his own country
one’s interest his own com
munity and the world as he at
tempts to make it a better place
in which to work and rear a
family. Therefore a better,
interested, voting citizen is an
outgrowth of better educational
opportunities. Better citizens
lead to better communities and
better communities lead toward
better international relations
as people begin to understand
the other side of the world and
that the people there also think,
live and breathe the same as
Americans.
Therefore, we find that better
education in Taylor County can
lead to (1) better human rela
tions, (2) improved earning
power, (3) personal fulfillment
(4) good citizenship (5) national
economics growth (6) better
communities and (7) improved
international relations. During
American Education Week let
us strive to make our schools
the best possible so that our
children will enjoy these op
portunities offered in America.

In connection with American
Education Week, one item of
interest on the state scene this
week has been the problems
created in Catoosa County.
Taylor County too faces a sharp
increase in the amount of money
that must be put into education
this year with more increases
to be made in the next four
years under the Sanders Plan
for Education. Will Taylor
Schools be forced to close be
cause of a lack of money to pay
the amount necessary to obtain
state money?
This is a serious question to
ponder. Taylor County is in
debt. Will the time come within
the next year or two that the
taxes will not be sufficient to
obtain the money that must be
first contributed before any
money can be obtained from the
state funds?
More and more people are be
coming interested in a tax equa
lization program for this
county. An article in the Tho-
maston Free Press this week
gives credit to a tax re-evalua
tion program in Upson County
with the ability to continue to
operate the county schools of
Upson County. Supt. Gordon
Holstun of Upson County stated
that if the county commis-

Mrs. Nunn Speaks To
Butler PTA On Monday
“Environment plays a vital
role in the development of the
child”, according to Mrs. Mai-
dana Knott Nunn, instructor of
nurses at the Milledgeville State
Hospital and daughter of Mrs.
Julian Locke, who spoke to the
Butler PTA on Monday night.
“In the family the role of the
child is based on age, birth
order, sex and other things
but very early in life the child
employs a specialty role.”
Listing the roles usually
taken by the children, she said
that the first is usually looked
up to as the dutiful responsible
one who takes the role as “sec
ond mother”. The second child
will gain recognition through
personal charm since the first
has gained the family power.
Therefore the second will be the
social mixer.
The third child is the social
butterfly, can do anything and
do it well. The fourth will gain
a place in the limelight as the
studious one although he might
withdraw from the other sibling
activities. The fifth is self
centered, isolated and unwilling
to participate and sometimes is
stubborn, uncooperative and
might be keenly interested in
sports.
The sixth may withdraw from
responsibilities that others ac
cept, is flighty, a drifter and
many times adopts an ‘I can’t’
attitude. The seventh is the

sickly one, will have chronic
or imaginary illnesses to gain
recognition. The eighth child
is usually spoiled not only by
the parents but by the older
siblings.
As the family increases, it is
necessary for each family
member to find a place in the
sun for himself in his own way.
Therefore it is necessary for
parents and teachers to recog
nize the difference in children
and make an effort to under
stand each in his own way.
