How can a small rural school provide a variety of courses without incurring a great deal of extra expense per child? The problem is a common one among schools like Putnam County High, which has only 575 students. Still, these students have needs and interests as diverse as those in a larger school. Putnam County found the answer in the quarter system. How can a school with a good curriculum become even bet ter? Educators in Polk County liked what they saw in quarter programs already in operation. They developed a quarter curriculum for Cedartown Juniorand Senior High Schools and now have a fine indepen dent study program in addition to a selection of courses that increases every year. How can a large city school system provide for the needs of its diverse student body? Atlanta City high schools had two motives for switching to the quarter system - improved educational quality and flexi bility. Five years ago, under the semester system, Atlanta high schools offered 50 courses. Today they offer 850. A total of 28 school systems in Georgia have changed to a quarter program since 1968. Forty-five more are in the initiated the idea of allowing students to serve on college committees, feeling that stu dents should contribute con structive ideas and opinions in college planning.

Named to the Library Committee was Robert Riddle, 380 Mulberry Street, Jackson, son of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Riddle. planning stages.
