TALES OUT OF SCHOOL By Bernice McCullar, Supervisee Office of Information SECRET’S OUT: Every year many children, parents, arid teachers await with breathless earnestness for the announcement of the two top book awards in the field of children’s books. To people who deal with children, it is as important as the Pulitzer and Nobel Awards. I have just seen the two charming volumes which won this year. The Calde cott Medal was awarded to the delightful story of Cinderella, a dapted and illustrated by Mar cia Brown, from the French tale of Charles Perrault. This one is published by Scribners, New York. These unusual illustrations are in the loveliest colors, and the old tale is told with mint fresh ness. If you have in your house hold any of the pigtail and panty crowd, they will be delighted with this as a birthday gift. The famed Newbery Award went to a 300-page volume titled “The Wheel on the School.” It was written by Meindert DeJong, who came to America from the Ne therlands in 1918. He has been a college professor, brick mason, farmer and grave digger, besides being a writer. The illustrations, black and gray, like charcoal and a rainy day sky, are by Maurice Sendack. The story is about storks and what six little children in a school in Holland did to make the storks nest in their tiny town of Shora. When they finished, there were storks on every roof. The book, published by Harpers, cost $2.75. It is for your young sters who are in the upper ele mentary grades. My friend, Vir ginia McJenkin, director of lib rary services in Fulton County, was a member of the committee that picked these charming books. LOOK WHO’S COMING! If your county hasn’t completed its whole building program yet, you’d better hurry up this ham mer-and-saw business, because Georgia has 104,000 babies—born last year — who’ll be standing at the schoolhouse door, come 1959. (Present building program will give us 1200 new buildings with 12,000 new classrooms, by the end of 1956.) NEGRO EDUCATION: If we’d looked the earth over for some body both races could respect, to head the Department of Educa tion’s services to Negroes, we wouldn’t have found a better man than Robert L. Cousins. He is one of the distinguished Cou sins family from down around Luthersville. Many an educator and minister has come from this family. Calm of voice, thorough in his work, and with a fine vi sion of education, Bob Cousins is doing more than any other one person I know to steady us all through a difficult time. PICTURE: Did you see the Georgia schoolmarm and her pu pils in the Norman Rockwell cover pictures in the Saturday Evening Post a week or two ago? That was Oak Mountain school in Carroll county. SOCRATES: I hope you got to see the “You Are There,” TV drama of The Death of Socrates, recently. Only thing I disliked about it was Socrates. The actor was miscast. He wasn’t my idea of Socrates. Somebody once asked this ugly old saint, “Why did you marry a shrew like Xantippe?” And - so the tale, probably apoc ryphal, goes - he replied, “1 wanted to learn to get along with people. I figured that if I could get along with Xantippe, I could get along with anybody.” MAKING ENDS MEET: Some Florida teachers have taken to working at the greyhound race tracks to earn a few extra dol lars! But mostly, Florida’s teach ers are well paid. THE PLAY’S THE THING: I’ve been delighted to watch the improvement in the quality of high school plays in Georgia. In stead of investing all that time, energy, and money in second rate junk, some schools have presented things like Truman Capote’s. “The Grass Harp”, Eliot’s “Mur der in the Cathedral”, and others of fine quality. Both the young sters and their audiences have proved that people respond to the best when it’s well presented. OLD MAN’S ADVICE TO PA RENTS: A pat on the back deve lops character, if administered soon enough, often enough, and low enough. AD: “Will party who picked up dog Saturday on Old Mill Road either bring him back or come get the six-year-old he be longs to?” ABSENTEES; There are 100,- 000 children absent from school every day in Georgia. PARENTS: Little girl, making assembly announcement of piano recital: “And we are going to have real people there, not just fathers and mothers.” GEA HEAD: You now have a new president of the Georgia Ed ucation Association - William Henry Shaw of Columbus. He was elected without opposition here at the annual GEA Conven- tion in March. He succeeds Paul Sprayberry of Marietta. Taking over the leadership of Georgia’s 30,000 teachers is no small job. Wish him well. PERSONALS The Nahunta High School PTA met in the school library on Mon day night, April 11, with Mrs. Ruth Davis in charge of the pro gram. Rev. J. C.
