TALES OUT OF SCHOOL
By Bernice McCuliar
State Department of Education
teacher, your contract
IS GOOD! The State Board of
Education recently upheld the
validity of a teacher’s contract
when it ruled that the Jeff
Davis County Board of Educa
tion could not dismiss Mrs. Hazel
Altman because it did not have
sufficient funds. That made
teachers breathe more easily all
over the state. The validity of
a contract is one of the oldest
basic laws.
A BOOM FOR BUSINESS
ffakde TO GEORGIA COUNTIES
Chattooga County
POPULAR SIGHTSEEING
_ ATTRACTIONS
Created from 317 square miles of Floyd and Walker County
lands in 1838, Chattooga became Georgia s 92nd county. It
was named for the principal river flowing through it. This
northwest border county ranks 94th in size and its P O P^*®'
tion exceeds 23,000. Summerville, the county seat of Chat
tooga, receives much of its economic stability from a number
of thriving textile plants operating nearby. Additional income
in the county comes from diversified farming, with a near
•qual balance between field crops and livestock. Other^com
munities in Chattooga are Lyerly Menlo Tnon, B^ton
Gore, Silver Hill, and Mountain View. Abounding in such
natural beauties as mountains, lakes, and rippling streams,
Chattooga County is a noted tourist attraction. Os additional
interest in the county is a rock museum containingspecimens
from virtually every state, and a Georgia state fish hatchery
fed from a single limestone spring. . . .
In Georgia counties where the sale of beer and ale is legal, the
United States Brewers Association works constantly to assure
their sale under pleasant, orderly conditions. Believing that
strict law enforcement serves the best interest of the Pe°P le
of Georgia, the Association stresses close cooperation with the
Armed Forces, law enforcement and governing officials.

Everything
and the
kitchen sink
THIS MODERN homemaker has found one
answer to kitchen drudgery—a compact, elec
trie food waste disposer. There’s hardly a
chore around the house that electricity can’t
do—or help you do! It washes your clothes,
prepares your food, and does your dishes.
That is only part of your wonderful world
of electrical living. There are more than 60
different appliances on the market. Many
others are on the wav.
Only one thing compares with the con
venience of electricity. That’s its low, low
price. Through the years the trend in the
price per kilowatt-hour has been downward.
Convenience and economy—a hard combi
nation to beat. Yet you get both when you
put electricity to work in your home.'
Why not make your home truly modern?
Why not make it all-electric?

WARNING TO US WHO
TEACH—Do you remember who
said these wonderful words? “You
have too many words on your
tongue, and too little wisdom in
your head. A plaque upon those
windbags who stifle to death
under a blanket of words, those
pseudo-scholars who learn more
and more about less and less,
until they know everything a
bout nothing, these blind teach
ers of the blind who flounder
around in a dark room looking
for a black cat that isn’t there.”
It was a doctor whose name was
Rabelais. He wrote Gargantua
and Pantagruel, and we are so
busy thinking of his ribald jokes
that we overlook his wondrous
wisdom.

THE BUS DRIVER AND THE
CURIOUS GRAVE — John Smith,
a very nice school bus driver
over in Wilkes who drives his
daughter Jacquelyn and 55 others
to school and back, added to my
education the other day. I was
searching for a bit of Georgia
history: the grave of the old
Jewish Revolutionary soldier,
Abram Simon, whose money
launched our great Baptist Mer
cer University. Simon is buried
up with his gun in his hand “to
get a quick shot at the devil
on Judgment Day,” as he re
quested. His widow, Nancy, mar
ried Jessie Mercer, and let him
have the money for Mercer. Bus
driver John Smith, who has a
logical mind, stood with me by
the grave and pointed out some
thing. “Look how the grave has
sunk in a circle. Graves usually
sink in a rectangle.” So he and

I concluded that old Simon really
had been buried standing up,
and would probably give the devil
a fright and a fight on Judgment
Day. What I wonder is that more
school children and teachers of
history do not visit this wonderful
little spot in Georgia. Thank
you, Mr. John Smith.
FRIEND OF EDUCATION —
A. L. Feldman, Atlanta business
man who once lived in Hartwell,
was one of three United States
businessmen invited by the U.
S. Chamber of Commerce to go
to Washington in May to be on
a panel about education. Mr.
Feldman, a warm and gracious
person who has deep convictions
about education, initiated the
Teacher of the Year plan that
evolved into the present STAR
Student-and-Teacher Program of
the State Chamber of Commerce.
LOTTERY FOR THE
SCHOOLS — Seems odd to read
about, but in the old histories
there is a fantastic tale of a lot
tery that the Georgia legislature
authorized to raise funds for an
early academy in Wilkes county.
People bought tickets for $4 each
and the first prize was SI,OOO.
One time the academy’s board
of education got so hard up for
operating funds that they paid
their monthly bills in lottery
tickets!
PEOPLE OF ACHIEVEMENT
— Sallie Sanders of Royston is
the pretty new president of Geor
gia’s 22,000 Future Homemakers
. . . Paul West, superintendent of
Fulton county schools, is the able
chairman of the GEA’s public
relations committee this year . . .
Mrs. S. C. Patterson, who has
done such a fine job of adminis
tering the state scholarship pro
gram for future teachers, was
given the first M D. Collins award
for outstanding service in educa
tion. It was exquisite sterling
silver Paul Revere bowl.
