quarter lead of 12-6. Nahunta
came rearing back with a 19

Tales out of School
X
, By Bernice McCullar
YOUR CHILD MAY GET A
; GOOD TEACHER OUT OF THIS
— Georgia high schools should
’ have more good teachers of math
’ and science when a new program
at the University of Georgia real
ly starts producing results. Speir
Collins, of the University News
’ Bureau, tells me that Dr. Charles
, L. Koelsche, formerly with the
U. S. Office of Education, is now
’ at the University directing a new
program of graduate study to
prepare college teachers of
’ science education, who will in
( turn teach high school teachers
r of math and science. Using the
new Science Center, which in
itself is a fabulous dream come
‘ true, the graduate students will
follow a program that is a co
’ operative venture of the College
’ of Education, the Graduate
‘ School, and the departments
' which teach science and math.
Things are looking up in teacher
’ education in Georgia!
HOW JUNIOR HIGH
’ SCHOOLS RATE IN GEORGIA—
’ Soon we hope to have for you
’ some suggestions and comments
r about Georgia junior high schools,
based on the Conant Report of A
’ merica’s junior high schools. One
' thing we were far ahead in: he
, recommends that teachers pre
t pare especially for junior high
t school teaching, and not just stop
। there on their way up to high
school. We have in Georgia for
some years required teachers to
have special certificates to show
’ they are prepared for junior high
school or middle grades teaching.
’ In Georgia you make the same
money if you teach first grade
or twelfth. There is no difference
’ between grades or races. We pay
teachers on the basis of qualifi
’ cations and experience alone.
, That’s more than most states can
J say.
, WANT TO HEAR THE PRESI
, DENT’S VOICES —1 am told
that teachers who may be
teaching your child American his
tory, can get a record of the
। voices of many presidents. It was
made from the recent radio show
; The Right Man, done by Gary
Moore. Teachers can, if they hur
ry, get it from The Right Man Re
cord, Travelers Insurance Com
pany, Hartford 15, Connecticut.
। ARE YOU WATCHING CHAN
NEL 8? — I hope that you are
enjoying the very fine adult pro
grams that you can get in the
evening over Channel 8, Athens,
. the educational television station
which the Department of Educa
tion shares with the University.
As you know, we teach by tele
vision five days a week over this
station in the daytime, and the
University takes it over at night
for adult programs. Some of the
finest and most literate programs
in America are coming over it
now, and I hope that you can
get them on your TV set.
WHAT WE SPEND ON YOUR
CHILD — Georgia will spend
this year something like $240 per
child to run our school program.
But the national average is $370.
Do you actually know how much
your child’s teacher makes?
Would you work for that?
THANKSGIVING — Did you
ever think of writing a little note
to the chairman of your local
board of education, your superin
tendent, and your child’s teacher
at Thanksgiving to say, “One of
the things our family is thank
ful for is having a good school in
our community.”
THE SMALL FRY AND POLI
TICS — In a presidential parade,
riders spotted a tiny boy on a
school campus, holding a sign.
The sign said, Mrs. Henson’s se
cond grade votes Nixon 21, Ken
nedy 13. — and in Jacksonville,
Florida yet!
RETIREMENT — A retiring
teacher sends me these lines,
which she clipped, to share with
you:
“There once was a teacher

Road Board
'To Light up
1 Narrow Bridges !
, Georgia is lighting up it nar
, row bridges so drivers won’t have
, so much difficulty in seeing them
1 at night. The lighting is in form
of a newly developed reflective
1 paint which makes the bridge
’ stand out like a neon sign from
the headlights of an automobile.
Highway Chairman Jim L. Gil
lis says that Georgia is one of
the first states to use this paint
on a wide scale. He says there
are 600 sub-standard bridges in
Georgia, bridges less than 24 feet
i wide, and the State Highway De
j partment plans to paint all of
1 these bridges within the next
i year. Chairman Gillis said the
1 nominal cost involved in painting
- these bridges will be more than
r justified by the reduction of ac
-5 cidents and fatalities which will
s result.
j The paint is composed of small
r beads which reflect back to the
I driver from his headlights. The
> reflection is estimated to be a
s bout 100 times brighter than or
i dinary white paint. Highway En
s gineers say that it is not neces
> sary to paint the entire bridge
i with this reflective liquid, only
j portions of the posts and top rail
1 which will give the driver a com
. plete outline of the bridge so he
> can determine the width and
; length from a safe distance be
-5 fore he approaches the bridge.
How far away can the driver
r see the bridge at night?
Tests show that the outline of
[ the bridge can be seen from a
. half mile, which allows the driv
-3 er adequate warning that he is
5 approaching a bridge, and as he
comes closer the bridge begins
. to take shape.
» Last year there were 15 fatal
; accidents in Georgia in which
. motor vehicles collided directly
i with bridges. The number of fa
> tai accidents in which a motor
( vehicle collided with another on
-a bridge is not known since the
I Department of Public Safety does
r not have a breakdown in this
i form. In addition, there were 624
accidents involving collisions of
» motor vehicles and bridges in
> Georgia last year.
Card of Thanks
I wish to express my sincere
1 appreciation and gratitude to our

* Ham, my son was so very ill in
the hospitals. And to thank those
who gave to help toward ex
: penses. It meant so much to us.
; I would like to say that An
thony is now much improved and
is back in school.
Sincerely,

The Brantley County Board of
Education met in a called session
on Monday, November 14, to
study the report and recom
mendations of the State School
Plant, Building Maintenance and
Instruction Committee.
All members were present. The
board members are Mr. Elroy
Strickland, president; Mr. Floyd
Larkins, Mr. A. S. Rowell, Mr.
Marshall Dryden, Mr. Virgil H.
Allen and Mr. Herschel W. Her
rin, Brantley County Superinten
dent of Schools, who serves as
secretary to the board.
After studying the suggestions
and recommendations of the com
mittee from the State Department
of Education, the board voted
unanimously to adopt the report.
The recommendations by the
committee and adopted by the
Board of Education are:
1. A vocational shop building
and three additional standard
classrooms be added to the pre
sent Nahunta High School plant.
One of these classrooms will be
constructed for use as a band and
music room.
2. To the Hoboken School plant
a new Home Economics and Vo
cational Agriculture Department
will be added. This building will
include two standard classrooms.
3. The Nahunta Colored Ele
mentary School will have a
lunchroom, one additional stan
dard classroom and a storage
room added to the present build
ing.
4. The Nahunta Grammar
School will receive a new lunch
room, a new central heating sys
tem throughout the plant and
complete renovation of the pre
sent restroom facilities.
The committee suggested that
in addition to the building pro
gram, the Hortense School build
ing be painted inside and out, af
ter needed repairs are made. It
further suggested the ceramic or
quarry tile be put on the expos
ed concrete toilet floors. The
committee recommended that the
central library be moved from
its present location to the va
cant classroom.

Mrs. Gibson’s home was known
as “Sherwood” in slavery times.
Even though the original build
ing is no longer there, the fact
remains the same; and this with
the spreading mossy oaks under
w'hich the Indians held council,
and the first court of Wayne
County was held makes the place
of great interest. Because of this
and the gracious hospitality of
Mrs. Gibson and her family
everyone enjoyed the day.
Mrs. Gibson thought the day
was happily climaxed by Patsy
Herrin and her grandchildren
singing her favorite hymn ‘ Will
There Be Any Stars?” and the
many beautiful gifts she received.
