The Minimum Foundation For
Education Must Be Realized!
The next session of the State General Assembly will,
so far as education in our state and its future
progress is concerned, be a ““Now-or-Never”’ matter.
~ If the Minimum Foundation for Education is ever
realized, it must come in this session.
For many years education in Georgia has been a
“Step-Child.”’” Today it is popular for political can
didates to voice their support for education and the
Minimum Foundation Program.
Yet, back in 1937, thirteen years ago, | introduced
in the State House of Representatives, and had pass
ed, the bill that provided retirement for teachers in
the City of Athens, for the first time.
And in 1943, six years later, | voted for the bill
that gave retirement priviledges to all of the teachers
in the state. &
Thirteen years agol was thinking of educational
matters and the plight of the teachers AND DOING
SOMETHING ABOUT IT.
Since that time several teachers in Clarke County
have retired on these two bills.
Seven years ago | supported the biil that would
make statewide the effect of the bill | had intro
duced and had passed in 1937.
The success of the Minimum Foundation bill is
especially important to Clarke County with the Uni
versity located here. | am one hundred per cent for
it and will give it my every effort.
If you believe a better Georsia, a better Clarke
County will result from the Minimum Foundation
Bill won’t you give me your vote on June 28? |
promise that | will not let you down!
