TALES OUT OF SCHOOL State Department of Education THEY WENT TO TAKE A LOOK — State School Superin tendent Claude Purcell, Chancel lor Harmon Caldwell, and others on a subcommittee of the Sibley Commission went journeying up to Prince Edward County a day or so ago to see how things are working out up there with the local option and let’s run-our own-private schools plan. I’ll tell you what they say when they get back. BIG HAND FOR FRED HAND —When you ride up and down the roads of Georgia and look at the many new school build ings Georgia children have to go to, cast a vote of thanks to Fred Hand of Pelham, former chair man of the State School Build ing Authority, who guided that program to its zenith. Out of politics now, Mr. Hand runs his extensive business down at Pel ham. He’s the new president of the Pelham Rotary Club. BELOVED EDUCATOR RE TIRING — President George P. Donaldson, who has done a magnificent job at Abraham Baldwin College in Tifton, is re tiring this year. Pete Donaldson is known and loved all over the nation for his fine person ality and his genuine achieve ments in education. Somebody will be president after him, but it will be like Jefferson suc ceeding Franklin and saying, “I only succeed him. Nobody can take his place." I doubt if any body will ever know how many Georgia youngsters have found their place in the sun because Pete Donaldson helped them get work and pay their way, and gave them an encouraging pat on the shoulder and said, “You can do it. I’ll help you do it.” TAKES MONEY, MAN!-- Many principals say, “Don’t count the principals in the teacher allot ments. Make them extra.” Voca tional people say same thing. Ditto, pleads the library staff. Something they need to remem ber: extra counting takes extra money. Who’s got 3 or 4 million more to add all these? Not us. HOW FAR DO YOURS GO?- State Board of Education thinks youngsters should not ride more than fifty miles for a game on a night preceding a school day, nor stay later than 10 o’clock. Some people think games should be confined to weekends, and the children should stay home and study the other nights. What do YOU think? SCHOOLBOY VISITS RUS SIA DOWN THE STREET — Just 3 doors away from our hotel in Washington was the Russian Embassy. We passed it daily on our way to the beauti ful blue and silver NEA build ing, which Georgia teachers helped build. Our White House Conference on Children and Youth study group (one of 210) met at the NEA. It was at the Russian Embassy that a desper ate Russian teacher —about to be dragged back to Russia — jumped out of a high window and broke her body tragically. But she attracted attention and got help. Yesterday, an American high school boy — one of 1000 students here — went to the Em bassy to ask a question: “Could students in Russia have a meet ing like this?” Said the Russians, in a few hundred words: NO. SURPRISED? — We used to think cities corrupted children and that they’d be all right if we could just keep them down on the farm. It just isn’t so. Statistics show that juvenile delinquency is worse in rural areas than in cities. Waycross Livestock Market SOUTHEAST GEORGIA’S LEADING LIVESTOCK MARKET HONEST WEIGHTS AND COURTEOUS SERVICE.

Thompson, Operators and Managers By Bernice McCullar HOW TO GET YOUR CHILD READY FOR A COLLEGE TEST —Director of college board exams says the best way to pre pare your child for the test he must take to enter college is to see that he reads some piece of fine literature ( not required at school) every week of his life. (Yet 42 percent of our homes do not have a single bookshelf!) CHARMING BOOKS THAT SHOULD BE READ BY THOSE WHO HAVE CHILDREN — “The Edge of Day” by Laurie Lee; “The Wind in the Willows” by Kenneth Grahame; and “Little Boy Lost” by W. H. Hudson. DID YOUR CHILD MOVE?— 64 of Georgia’s 159 counties have lost population. Georgia farm quiet, hardworking teachers like Ruth Lee, teacher of a one room school over at Omaha, or Grace Gray, who has been principal of two schools at one time down at Leary, or a fine science teacher I know at Perry. The teachers in the classroom, the principals and superintendents working day after day and night after night — these are the real heroes and heroines of the school world. And few people ever know, or care. POSTCRIPT TO PRAYER — Little boy whose daddy had pro mised him a trip and then gone back on his word, added this bed time prayer; “And, dear Lord, don’t send my daddy any more little children. He don’t know how to treat them he’s got now.” TAKE THE TIME TO DO IT— Teach your teen-agers to drive with care. But remember driving is not just behind - the - wheel stuff. It involves the character you help your children develop, the moral obligation to look out for the other fellow, and the in telligence to know that it is childish and silly to speed down dangerous highways. Experts predict that in the decade be tween 1960 and 1970, there will be 180 million Americans involv ed in highway accidents, 20 mil lion of them killed or injured badly, at a cost of 70 BILLION dollars. Will you die on the high way this decade? Will your teen ager? What are you doing to pre vent it? WOULDN’T YOU LIKE TO KNOW? — Would it interest you to know what books your child’s teacher has read during the past six months that she didn’t have to read? You could tell a lot by that about what kind of teach er she is, too . CAPTIVE AUDIENCE — Have you ever thought how helpless a school child is in the room of a dull and boring or unloving families are swarming to the cities. This makes a difference in what the schools should teach. Did you know that last year twelve million out of America’s forty million children moved at least from one com munity to another? THEY DON’T LIKE THE TESTS — High school student at a recent meeting said, “Yes-or no tests don’t really tell my teacher what I know or whether I can think, or use the English language. My teacher does not know how much I know.” REASON — College professor asked a boy who was graduating what he was going to do. “I am going back home and plow the corn on my farm,” he said. The surprised professor said. “If all your’re going to do is plow corn, why did you come to college?” The boy replied, “To get some thing to thing about while I plow the corn.” 'masssßm Want Ads POTATO PLANTS FOR SALE Government inspected sweet potato plants for sale. 100-to-Hill variety, 50 cents a hundred.
