'CLOSED SHOP’
BILL GOES TO
SENATE TODAY
’ Quick Confirmation
Expected On House
Approved Measure
ATLANTA, Feb. 26—(AP)—
House-approved bills banning the
closed shop and prohibiting mass
licketing were to go to the State
iSenuie today where it was gen
erally agreed they would find
quick confirmation.
The house overwhelmingly
adopnted the measures yesterday
after a speaker against the bills
charged they “stemmed from the
National Association of manu
; focturers.” &
! Companion pieces to the legis
lation, which also outlaws the
involuntary check-off of union
dues, were passed by the Senate
last week.
Before the roll call, the house
refused to accept amendments
exempting Whitefield and Spald
ing counties.
The vote on the anti-closed
shop bill was 157 for, 28 against
and the anti-picketing measure,
146 for and 16 against.
Despite support in the State
from the Georgia Farm Bureau
Federation, responsibility for the
bills was laid to the N. A. M. by
Rep. Myer Goldberg of Coweta
county, a textile stronghold.
Goldberg said: “These bills did
not originate in Georgia. They
originated from a common
source, outside the State, that
want to keep the south in econo
mic slavery”
Rep. George Ramsay of Steph
ens county, seeking for the legis
lation, said the bills “insure our
cardinal Democratic principle to
protect the minorities To say that
to work you must go along with
the majority is certainly unde
mocratic”
Rep. W. H. Jones Brantley ex
pressed doubt whether the Legis
letion would affect industries
engaged in interstate Commerco,
A warning of possible direct ac
tion by.unions was ‘sounded by
Rep. Bob Addleton of Spalding,
another textile center. He said:
“If you pass these bills, you are
going to see one of the gravest
strikes in history.”
Rep. Herschel Lovett of Lau
rens county said the bills would
be an inducement to new indus
tries to settle in Georgia. He ar
gued, “we are not oposed to labor
unions, but we_are trying to cor
rect certain abuses that have
been perpetrated on the people of
Georgia.”
Plans For Schools l
Discussed By Grier | 1
(Continnea trom Page One)
plete a given amount ‘of work
and no set time for promotion.
Every day is promotion day if
progress is made, Edch child ad
vances at his own rate. He isnot
concerned with what, g ade he 1§
in or whether he will make his
‘rise’ at the close of the school
year. His accomplishments are
not measured by tuose of any
other chilg but by his own pro
gress.”
No “Failure” Label)
“Superior children are not
held back by the average or bee
low average children. The aver
age or below average are not
embarrassed because they can
not achieve as superior children,
Each daild progresses according to
his ability. There is no skipping
or repeating of grades and no
cliilq is labeled a failure because
he is not able to compete with
the achievements of his friends
or classmates,” Mr, Grier empha
sized.
For the indefinite term
‘“‘grade” or “semfter" a more
specific term ig substituted to in
dicate a step or unit of progress.
The program, he said, is express
eq in terms of total sequences.
“For example, the type of oral
or written English ,s?lls which
‘an elementary = school should
eventually develop in the child
ren is listed from beginning to
end; that is, from simple to
complex,” -the . speaker poinfed
out! ” ’
“The pattern recognizes and
encourages individual differences
and provides for a ‘program of
enrichment. Children are accept
ed as socially, physically and
mentally unalike and no attempt
ig made to force them through a
common mold. Every child is ed
ucated around his strengths and
not s weaknesses.”
The plan is not the answer to
all problems -of pupil adjust
ments, Mr. Grier said, adding
however, that:it has been in op
eration in some schools for a
sufficient length of time for pu
pils, teachers and parents to see
the advantages ‘to*the ‘various
types of children the ‘schoo! seeks
io serve.
" More Opporiunities
Turning to the High School,
Mr, Grier said that the curricul
um offered provides for addition
al opportunities for more special
ized preparation looking toward
advanced training in college as
well as specialized training in
commerce and industry. A spe
cia] feature of the plan is the
offering of five-work programs,
or courses. .
“It is_believed,” the gpeaker
said, ‘“that the grouping of
courses according to life-work
plans of students, is far superior
to asking students to make inde
pendent selection of subjects to
be pursued; students whose plan
for gncafiopfi preparation in
}:'liudg,epmx training will find
at scientific or literavy pro
pram suited to their needs; those
whé plan'to enter the commercial
or-industrial fields, directly upon
graduationy from Higa School,
will want to follow the commer
cial or industrial programs. For
example, students doing college
preparatory work with emphasis
on Industrial Arts, or Homemak
ing, will major in either one of
these fields, and at the same time
Lfollow their special interest in
other fields so that tiiey can either
enter college when they graduate
or enter tne fields of commerce
or industry. The courses are
flexible enough for students to
‘alter their plans for adult life
and change l.eir program of
work accordingly until they reach
the twelfth grade or the tinal
year of High School.”
Revision Necessary
Mr. G:ier stressed the fact taat
a curriculum of thig nature will
of necessity call for a revigion of
the contents of various courses
offereq in publie schools, “Com
munity, state, national and world
conditions have changed,” he
gaid, “Our schools must prepa-e
the caild to‘live suceessully in
the worlg of his day and not the
world of a day that hag already
passed.”
Ha pointed out that the success
of this type of program also
rests upon the guidance for the
children who are in school add
ing that this guidance must be
given not only by teachers and
school officialy but by parents
and interested citizens of the
community,
The program of work in the
Athens Public Schools will call
for materials of instruction be
yond that whica is furnished by
the State, namely, textbooks.
Texthoolks are essential to be
sure, but schools must have good
libraries, visual aid equipment,
fine arts equipment, materials
for creative work and many
other types of matev-ials must be
made available to children if
their needs are to be met,” he
said.
“Our program of education
must be expandeq and enriched
from within,” the speaker de
clared, adding that increased
emphasis must be placed upon
the “tool” subjects, especially
reading and mathematics. If a
child graduates from High
School withy ability to read un
derstandingly, with a knowledge
of the fundamental principles of
mathematics, and good study
habits he is in a very good po
sition to do effective work be
yond High School.” :

Monday evening. God Bless Amer
jca was sung prior to Invocation
which was given by Florrie An
drews.
The program committee com
posed of Minnie Capps, Helen Par~
ker and Thelma Elliott had done
a good job of decorating the tables
with “Jelly-roll logs” right from
the tree that Honest George cut
down, and when the icé cream
was served the logs were served
very generously and were very
delicious. Helen and Thelma gave
Minnie all the credit for the “logs”,
and knowing Minnie it was not
hard to believe thaj she had fur
nished them.
Ollie Andrwes admitted having
had a birthday and the gang sang
“Happy Birthday” to her.
The President, Vera Murray,
asked for introduction of visitors
after which Mary Harris Collier
reported that she had seen Mrs.
Chambers, mother of Sue Cham
bers, the Club’s student at Berry
Schools. It seems that Sue is doing
fine work at Berry and the Ath
ens Pilot Club is very proud.of
her progress there.
Minnie told of her visit to Ma
con where she saw Gloria Euyang,
a native Chinese girl who is at
tending Wesleyan College ‘on a
Pilot International Scholarship.
Vera announced that Miss Mary
Reynolds, Districts President,
would visit the Athens Club on
March 10th. Menibers of the local
club are looking forward with
much interest to this visit from
Mary.
Helen Parker, program chair
man for the evening, showed us a

ty founded a Library in 1638.
In 1700 came the Public Library
in New York, Yale Library was
fcunded in 1701. In 1731 Benja
min Franklin founded, in Phila
celphia. wi..at he called “mother
of all North American subscrip

“From modest beginnings the
libraries of the United States
have grown to bg moré numer
ous and more efficiently organ
ized than those of any other
countiy. Maore than 60,000,000
persons 'ilave public library ser
vice. Even the blind have their
own book service. Circulating li
braries supply thousands, espec
cially in smaller towns, In 1929
there were more than 12,000 li
brary buildings in the United
States. Library classification has
become an int-icate art; and spe
cial college courses are devoted
to if.
“We hear muda these . days
about the need for progress in
our community. Some urge that
we must bring more industries to
Athens and Clarke county; others
say we must pave more streets:
we are told that water and sewer
mains must be expanded and
many other improvements must
be made if our community is to
take anq hold iits place among
the progressive communities of
the State and Nation.
“These things are being accom

they are splendid outward evi

does not only mean surface im

more ready to acce?_t things as

them, rather than to keep striving
for betterment of &il ity citizens.
“By what better means éan we
