One Record We’re
Not Proud Os
In this age of records, we like
to boast about having the big
gest, or the best, or the most,
or the least, of whatever subject
might come to mind.
In the field of forestry, Georgia
ban well be proud of a number
of’ firsts, or near-firsts. For ex
ample;
Georgia produces over half of
the world’s naval stores.
Georgia has more privately
ownefi 1 comfnercial forest land
than any other state.
Georgia leads the South in
pulpwood production.
Georgia leads all states in the
number of trees planted each
year.
Georgia leads the South, and is
second nationally, in the amount
of state, county and private
funds spent in the suppression
and prevention of forest fires.
Every Georgian can be proud
of- and thankful for- these re
cords, not only from a civic
standpoint but also because of
the growing number of jobs and
cash markets for timber which
are provided by industries de
pendent upon forest products.
But —‘ and here’s the fly in
the ointment — Georgia is also
among the leading states in the
number of wildfires in the forests
each year. And this is a record
that should bring pride to no
one.
Foresters estimate that Geor
gia’s woodland production could
be doubled through the preven
tion of fires and employment of
other good management practices.
Evaluation Committee Makes
Report for Grammar Schools
A committee of prominent
south Georgia educators have
completed an evaluation of the
grammar schools of Brantley
County and have made their re
port.
The three grammar schools
evaluated were Hoboken, Hort
ense and Nahunta elementary
schools. Their report was as fol
lows:
INTRODUCED TO REPORT
The visiting committee was
organized in its first meeting in
Nahunta at six p.m. April 16. At
seven o’clock a banquet was
served in the school lunchroom
for the County Board of Educa
tion, the superintendent, his staff
and the faculties of the elemen
tary schools. -x
April 17 was spent in visiting
the schools. One committee of
two was asked to study transpor
tation, board policies, finances,
and school plants. A committee of
three was assigned to Hortense.
Four studied Hoboken and five
were assigned to Nahunta.
The committees spent Wednes
day evening and Thursday morn
ing compiling their reports. At
2:30 p.m. the reports were made
to an assembly in Nahunta of the
faculties, parents, board members,
and others from the three
schools in Brantley County. In
addition some 85 students are
housed in the Nahunta High
School Building. Since a recent
evaluation of the high school
included this group, no study
was made by this committee of
these students.
The Hoboken elementary school
is on the same sjte as the high
school and one lunchroom is pro
vided for the use of both schools.
Other facilities are also used in
common. There is one principal
for the schools.
The school at Hortense houses
the first through the eighth
grade. One teacher has the fifth
and sixth grades. The principal
teaches the eighth grade.
Nahunta has six grades housed
in the elementary school with
an enrollment of 500, 18 teachers,
and a full-time principal. .
The very complete reports
written by each school faculty
enabled the committee to get a
more complete picture of the
schools. But even so, we wish to
state that one day is entirely
too short a time for an adequate
visit. We would have preferred
to spend at least one more day
in which we could have had con
ferences wth teachers, principals,
parents, and some of the students.
We feel this would be helpful
to the people who must carry on
after the committee has gone. It
certainly would have made it
possible for the committee to
make a better report.
Each committee made a sep
arate report of its work. These
have been consolidated into one
report on all matters that applied
eounty-wide. Special attention is
called to individual achievements
and needs of each school.
The report which follows is
organized according to the plan
given to the visiting committee
for its study of the schools.
CONSOLIDATED REPORT
1. School Administration;
a. The philosophy and state
ment of objectives set up for all
the schools is adequate and should
help direct the work of the
schools in developing well-round
ed citizens. The committee sug
gests that periodically the schools
should make those changes in
curriculum and practice “which
will be in line with the stated
philosophy and help in the
achievement of the goals.
b. The school schedules comply
with state requirements and pro
vide for local needs. The overall
school day functioned smoothly
with a minimum of interruptions,
such as bells, announcements, and
so on. Adequate time was pro
vided for outdoor play. Schedul
ing for lunch seemed to provide
adequate time and to avoid con
gestion.
In Nahunta the committee
found that use of the library was
scheduled so that every child had
some time-each week in the lib
rary. This is commendable.
The committee suggests that
each school give further consid
eration and study to these
changes in the daily schedule:
(a) Longer blocks of time (per
haps two hours) in which related
subjects may be intergrated. For
example, Geography and History
of a country reinforce each other
when studied together. Another
bliack i.s that of Language Arts
— reading, spelling, writing,
English.
(b) Further study of the sche
dule is suggested to provide for
experiences in art, music, and
creative activities as needed in
each school.
(c) Stagged periods for super-
vised play with fewer students
on the play ground at a time
may prove beneficial.
c. Pupil Accounting
(a) State registers are in use.
(b) Individual folders are being
used. The committee feels these
can be of great value for parent
teacher and child-teacher con
ferences. They can also be of un
told value to the teacher as she
studies the individuals coming
to her each year. We wish to
suggest that consideration be
given to the inclusion of these
items:
(a) Interest inventories, hob
bies, talents
(b) Report of planned home
visitations
(c) Anecdotal records
(d) Test profiles
(e) Health records
(f) Periodic sampling of stud
ent work when this is not being
done.
In this connection the com
mittee suggests that consideration
be given to an organized testing
program throughout the system.
e. Transportation
Bus transportation is adequate
and complies with the State
Board of Education ruling in the
matter of having county owned
buses and a centralized garage.
All buses appeared in good
shape, with competent drivers.
Twenty-two buses are owned by
the county and the county budget
set up for transportation has not
been exceeded.
Obviously the committee could
not make an adequate transporta
tion study within the time
allotted. No examination of
drivers not inspection of buses
was attempted.
11. School Finance:
Approximately 86% of the pub
lic -funds used in financing the
schools of Brantley County are
received from the state and the
other 14% coipes from local tax
sources.
Local fu^ds provided by civic
organizations have been matched.
111. School Plants:
The schools were pleasantly
located and, with the exception of
Nahunta which is adjacent to the
railroad track, reasonably free
from environmental noise, smoke,
and dust. Future pavement of
drives will further improve this
condition. The* drainage seems
satisfactory and there is evidence
of efforts to improve the appear
ance of the grounds by planting
of shrubbery and flowers.
The sites are free from traffic
hazards. Parking facilities are
adequate, but a sheltered space
for loading and unloading pupils

should be a future consideration
at each school.
The exterior structure of most
of the buildings present a pleas
ant appearance. Many classrooms
have been repainted with neutral
colors that are restful to the eye.
The ratio of window space to
floor space is satisfactory and
classrooms and corridors are well
ventilated.
All schools have the required
fire extinguishers. All schools
have fire signals Clearly distin
guishable from the period bells.

“COURAGE WITHOUT CONSCIENCE IS A WILD BEAST . . . .”
In this world of ours courage is a commodity which can be
found in many places and under many guises. However, as
the aforementioned words so clearly state, courage can be
a destructive and demoralizing virtue unless it is tempered
by the conscience. For it is the conscience, after all, that deter
mines whether the result of an act of courage shall merely
further a selfish goal, ruthlessly and without regard for all
concerned, or whether that act of courage shall result in a
morally and spiritually acceptable gain to all who may be a
party to it.
Unfortunately, down through the ages, .mankind has seldom
wanted for courage, but the steadying and beneficial qualities
of a conscience has proved sorely lacking on many eventful
occasions. We believe that the average person will, in his
lifetime, experience many instances which call for application
of courage in varying degrees. However, it is the tiny and
often barely audible voice of his conscience that will make this
act a worthwhile one and not a wild beast.

A rapidly increasing population
means an ever-increasing de
mand for lumber, furniture, paper
and other wood products. The
industries who make these pro
ducts will do so where the timber
is available.
We can add to our industrial
and agricultural economy by
growing this timber and support
ing these industries in Georgia,
which means preventing woods
fires. Or, we can continue burn
ing present and future dollars
foolishly, year after year.
There is only one sensible
choice.
