They just haven’t seen anything yet! They may as well prepare for a tidal wave, for it’s coming just as surely as little boys and girls drink their milk and eat their vegetables and grow and grow and grow.

That’s a boun tiful crop—the finest the state has ever had. They are healthy, zestful little folks, entitled to the best the state can offer. There will come a day when they will stand bright and shiny before Mama’s critical eye—ready for their first day at school. Georgia cannot afford to let them down. There must be schools for them—and teachers and playgrounds and hot lunches and all the other things that make school an exciting and profitable adventure. This is not a problem for Georgia alone. In the South eastern states there are some 2,500,000 children under 5 —all growing toward school age. The solution cannot be long delayed. It will take a lot of study and energy—and money. The deadline is just three or four years off—and they will be knocking at the school doors. It is something to think about—now.
