WILSON TAX COMMISSIONER BRANTLEY COUNTY TALES OUT OF SCHOOL State Department of Education THEY ADDED SOME LIB RARIANS — State Board of Education has added some school librarians to the list of those who can get the S3OO or $450 grants, out of an allotted $400,000 this summer to do graduate study in content courses. Now the list of eligibles who can apply includes math, science, foreign language (including Latin), English, social studies, and business education teachers and some librarians. They all must be recommended by principal and superintendent. WE MAY NOT BE AROUN TO SEE THE FINISH — They started this month on a 20 year program to measure the abilities and aptitudes of high school students over a 20 year span. What are their backgrounds, how -do they learn, what happens to all this talent? The 20-year pro ject is a co-operative venture of the University of Pittsburgh, the U. S. Office of Education, the Na tional Institute of Mental Health and the Office of Naval Re search. They’ve named 920 high schools to take part in the pro gram. Some twenty-odd are Georgia high schools. The pro gram will test about a half mil lion youngsters, and then follow them right out of high school and see what they do with what they learn. NEWS ABOUT THIS-AND THAT IN EDUCATION: Experts predict a 6 to 7 million college enrollment the next decade, as compared with the 3,600,000 en rolled now, and an expenditure of ten billion dollars a year, as compared with the present $3,- 600,000 • • • White House Con ference on Children and Youth (called by a President every ten years) will meet in Washington March 28 to April 2, with many Georgians attending . . .

Last time we had a big building program, some ol the local communities used the state money as far as it would go, but never got around to add ing their own money and finish ing the program. This time, I predict there will be some kind' of regulations set up that will ask for assurance that the local folks will do their part — or not get state aid! Our current classx room need: 4,526. QUEEN CAROLINE’S DRESS —Georgia history students are always intrigued to learn that the Georgia silkworms —roused by Oglethorpe, who hoped to make silk one of Georgia’s big industries — made enough silk to send England’s Queen Caro line a dress for the royal ball when Oglethorpe went back to England. WHO’S DENYING IT? It doesn’t help matters for educa tion folks to bristle like a neuro tic porcupine when the public says there are some mediocre teachers in Georgia Classrooms. There are. I’d like to remember also that there are some of the world’s best ones there. WHEN DO THEY HAVE TIME TO STUDY? Between sell ing things to raise money for this and that and practicing for the game, some schools don’t leave the children any time to learn. If I had a child in a Georgia school that had this sort of lopsided program, I would stand up and scream! These children have a terrible and des perate need to know an astonish ing lot of things. Even the wholp five and one-half hours of each of their 180 school days a year is far from enough. If you keep letting other things bite into the study time* soon it will be de voured like a ginger cake. Let them learn, let them learn, let them learn. We have too many empty heads in the-world now. CHILDREN IN A SWAMP Down in our picturesque swamp, the famous Okefenokee, there are two children who live far from a school. There are expen sive difficulties about getting them out of the swamp to a school. Simplest thing would be to fly them, but you can’t fly a plane down there. Clinch and Charlton county boards of educa tios have considered the matter from amny angles. Just now, the children’s father drives them 18 miles to school, goes back to his work, drives another 18 miles to bring them home. Thae makes a total of 72 miles a day he has to drive to give his two children an education. It is extremely ex pensive to drive a big bus that far to get two children. End of the story is not yet written. I will let you know how it comes out. CHILDREN LEARN THEIR HERITAGE — I went out the other day to the gorgeous gold domed Jewish synagogue here in Atlanta where modern artists have done a superb job of ex pressing in modern art Moses and David’s ancient laws. The Torah is written on beautiful parchment scrolls. The Jewish people in this synagogue hire teachers who teach their child ren, after they get out of the re gular schools in the afternoon, the ancient laws and litanies of their people. I walked through the synagogue, looked at the textbooks, talked with the teachers, stood looking at their stained windows, and the new light on ancient altars, and it seemed to me that the Sunday School stories and pic tures of my childhood had come off the pages and were walking up and down with me. If you come to Atlanta, go out to see this fabulous place, and watch the new children of this ancient race learning the lore of then God. TELL THEM WHAT I MAKE SHE SAID — A teacher stopped me short the other day after I had made a speech to a PT A about school finance and other such things, including "the aver age salary of teachers.” Our average salary has been $3,625. but now it is about $3,729, and with the Governor’s S2OO raise next year, it will be $3,929. But this teacher said that people do not realize that this is the AVER AGE salary, not the salary that every teacher makes. Many make the beginning salary which has been scarcely over three thou sand. So just remember that your child's teacher may not be mak ing even as much as the average salary, much less more! Also, in i some of the figures you see, the I principal’s salary’ is averaged in. i too, because in Georgia he is con i sidered a teacher since he has to ! have a teacher’s certificate and | since many principals actually do ' teach. Fanners Urged to Protect Cotton Allotments Recent admendments to the law relating to cotton allotments require cotton farmers o make certain use of their farm allot ments in order to prevent reduc ed allotments for future years as a result of failure to meet the uses prescribed by law, John F Bradley, Administrative Officer of the Agricultural Stablization and Conservation State Office, stated. Farm cotton allotments will be reduced where the farmer fails to plant at least 75 percent of his allotment or where he fails to release his allotment to the ASC County Committee. Cotton farmers who plan to plant their cotton allotment do not need to take action, accord ing to Bradley. However, where the farmer knows that he will not plant 75 percent of his allot ment he can help himself and at the same time help other cotton farmers in he county by releas ing his allotment for reapportion ment to other farms. If the cot ton allotment is released to the ASC County Committee this as sures him of planting history as well as planting history for his county and State. Bradley urges all farmers to understand the question: HOW MUST I USE MY 1960 COTTON ALLOTMENT? The .answer to this question is that the law, as amended, requires that the 1960 allotment for your farm will be used as your farm’s allotment base in obtaining your share of the 1961 cotton allotment if you meet the following requirements: (1) If as much as 75 percent of the 1960 cotton alloment for the farm is actually planted to cot ton; or (2) If the conservation reserve credit for your farm is as much as 75 percent of the farm allot ment; or (3) By releasing as much as 75 percent of your farm allotment provided the entire allotment was not released for both 1958 and 1959; or (4) If the total of the acreage actually planted to cotton plus the unplanted allotment you re lease to the county committee plus the credit, if any, earned under the Conservation Reserve Program at the regular rate is as much as 75 percent of the 1960 farm allotment. Bradley also urges all cotton farmers who know that their al lotments will not be planted to visit the local ASC Office and re lease their allotment to the County Committee or discuss their individual farm’s position with representatives of the local ASC County Office.

TUTEN f NERVOUS TENSION AND CHRONIC WORRY CAN BE CORRECTED “Relax and quit worrying, it’s just your nerves” is not very helpful advice to a nervous, sick person. “Such individuals need help, for they are really sick and their sickness does have a cause. SPINAL IRRITATION The problem is one of deep seated and constant nervous tension caused by an irritation of the nerve roots leading from the spine. Though nothing may seem wrong organically, the proper tests will reveal this condition when an especially trained technician makes an examination. Only when the cause of this irritation is removed can a person relax and quit worrying. Until then, the individual is sick, mentally and physically. Such illness will eventually lead to real organic disturbances in most cases. NATURE STRIVES TO CORRECT Nature is constantly making an effort to relieve this pres sure and sometimes through a prolonged rest or change of climate does accomplish it. Shock or other severe reaction may rerely bring about a change for the better. The most efficient and satisfactory way is to have a thorough examination by a chiropractic doctor in making spinal corrections. Free flowing nerve energy insures clear alert minds and healthy bodies. Without it one is not living fully.
