Keep Coffee Fresh
One of the simplest ways
to keep coffee fresh and hot
is to pour it into a vacuum
bottle immediately after
brewing. Vacuum bottles
retain the original tem

don’t alter the taste. Thus,
energy is saved as no elec
tricity or outside heat is
required.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT THE SCHOOL
WHY DID YOU CHOOSE THE NAME, BASIC LEARNING
ACADEMY?
We specialise in two instructional areas - reading and
math. These are basic skills and form the foundation for
all learning.
HOW IS THIS DIFFERENT FROM “REGULAR” SCHOOL?
In many ways. Mainly in the variety and kind of in
structional materials available. Also, our small <4*— <>
permits individual attention to each student’s needs.
HOW MANY CHILDREN ARE IN A CLASS?
An average of five students or lean.
WHAT AGE STUDENT CAN ATTEND?
We offer classes for all students from first grade through
Sr. High.
MY CHILD IS AN AVERAGE STUDENT, BUT ITHINK HE
CAN DO BETTER. DO YOU HAVE A CLASS FOR HIM?
Yes. Enrichment programs are available for elementary
students. For JR. and Sr. High Students, a Reading Ef
ficiency class is offered.
HOW MUCH DOES IT COST?
Less than you'd think! Summer Programs cost about $8
per hour. (compare this with |7.50 per hour in Macon and
up to $12.00 per hour in Atlanta.) The total cost for each
course including a pre-test 28W hours of Instruction, post
teat, written report, and parent conference is only $146.00.
