Health Depends on Perfect Functioning of Entire Body
No machine has ever been constructed that is so efficient
as man himself. No pump as perfect as the human heart
and if treated correctly it stays on the job for more than
600.000 hours, making 4,320 strokes and pumping 15 gallons
per hour.
No telegraphic mechanism is equal to our nervous system;
no radio so efficient as the voice and ear; no camera as per-
sect as the humao eye; no ventilating systems as wonderful
as the nose, lungs, and skin; and no electrical switchboard can
compare with the spinal cord. Isn t such a marvelous me
chanism worthy of the highest respect and the best care?
The nervous system coordinates, regulates and controls this
entire mechanism. By normalizing the nervous system, the
Chiropractic profession promotes health and healing from
within the body

THE
TALES OUT OF SCHOOL
State Department of Education
PROBLEMS YOUR PT A
SHOULD BE LOOKING INTO—
How can you sit there and listen
calmly to a speaker talking a
bout what’s wrong in Kalama
zoo when more than FOUR
THOUSAND children .are in the
jails of Georgia? More children
go to jail than to college . . .
Have you ever found out how
many children drop out of school
in your town, and why? . . . Do
you know what salaries your
teachers make? Does your local
system pay supplements? Do your
teachers have social security? If
| not, why not? Who elects or ap
points the board members in your
town? What qualifications do
they have for the job? How
could YOU get on the board?
Does your PTA have a repre
sentative at each board meeting?
They should. The meetings are
public. Georgia law says so. Who’s
more interested in what the board
does — and in better position to
let them know that you appre
ciate their services — than the
PTA.
WHAT DO YOU PLAN TO DO
ABOUT IT? American Education
Week is November 5-11. We’d
like to hear about the unique
observances in the state. If your
community celebrates it in a dif
ferent way, let us know.
WHAT, NO APPLES FOR THE
TEACHER? Up in North Geor
gia’s apple county, there is a
short apple crop this year, we
hear. There’ll be fewer apples for
the teacher. But the teacher will
scarcely notice it if you will just
TELL her how much you appreci
ate all that work she does to edu
cate your child.
WHAT ABOUT THIS? Some
schools in the nation are lighten
ing the paper-correcting load of
the teacher by employing home
bound mammas with bright minds
and college degrees to correct
themes, and make notes on the
margin about how the next pap
er could be better. Bright idea!
LOOK WHAT YOU’VE GOT!
“Don’t take your schools for
granted,” says Dr. Claude Pur
cell, state superintendent of
schools. “There are 600 million
children of school age in the
world, .and only half of them even
have schools to go to. Georgia
has good schools. Take an act
ive interest in them as
they start a new year. Join your
PTA. Support your superinten
dent. Go to a board meeting and
let your school board know that
you appreciate what they are do
ing for your children.”
SUKEY AND THE CONCH
SHELL — School children in
Georgia should go to Elbert
County sometime during their 12
years and see the Nancy Hart
cabin, and the spring where
Nancy’s daughter, Sukey, blew
the conch shell to summon her
father and the neighbors to help
Nancy hang the Tories. Here is
where history happened.
TEACHER ON ST. PAUL’S
ROAD — Clarice Kline, former
president of the National Educa
tion Association, came down from
the north to talk to teachers in
Georgia recently. She had just
come back from a journey about
the world, attending a teachers’
meeting at New Delhi. In Atlan
ta, she was the guest of Virginia
(Mrs. Leonard) Proctor, wife of
the chairman of the Fulton Coun
ty school board, and Evelyn
(Mrs. Paul) West, wife of the
Fulton superintendent. Miss Kline
was telling about the events of
her wanderings. She said that in
the Israeli-Arabian section of the

world, she was riding down a
road. The driver suddenly turn
ed and said, “You are on the road
to Damascus, like St. Paul. This
was the road he went down. It
leads to the Street Called
Straight."
THE MATH GUIDE IS OUT —
Twenty-eight u p-a n d-c omi n g
school systems are going to be
using the new Math Guide this
year. They will help us make it
better and the rest of the schools
will have it next year. Is your
math teacher good? This scienti
fic, technological world is based
on math. Russia knows it. We
know it. It is more important for
you to have a good math teacher
than to have a good coach — and
to pay him well. What a pity we
can’t put on a riproaring math
show in the stadium to entertain
the community. Then we would
get them roused up about math.
But it’s such a quiet thing that
only the wise know that unless
the kids learn it, the world may
disappear. Gladys Thomason is
our chief state .math consultant.
Alton Ellis, of Athens, is chair
man of the committee that de
veloped the new math guide.
NORTH CAROLINA GOT
ONLY NINETEEN — Mrs. Vio
la Brown, who issues the per
mits for teachers in our certifica
tion office, says that only nine
teen have so far been issued for
this school year. There were 192
on the state payroll in May. For
the first time now, — so the State
Board of Education recently de
creed — the local systems have
to pay half the* salary of such
teachers. The public confuses
“permit teachers” with “emer
gency certificate” teachers. A
permit is issued to a teacher who
cannot get a certificate, if the
superintendent states that he has
tried and cannot find a teacher
who does have a certificate. An
emergency certificate is issued to
a teacher who once held a valid
certificate but has allowed it to
lapse.
YOU CAN COMPARE ONLY
THE COMPARABLE — What
would you think if somebody
compared your budget with your
neighbor's budget, but left out
the house payment and the car
payment from one budget and in
cluded them in the other? We’ve
heard our Department of Educa
tion budget compared with North
Carolina’s. But you should know
this: our budget included 20 mil
lion dollars that buy your
school buildings. In North Caro
lina, there is no building money
in the school budget. It goes to a
separate agency when they have
a building program, which they
do not have at present. We also
list a budget item of $922,500 for
our schools for the blind and deaf
which are run there by separate
agencies, and $950,000 for our
two state trade schools, which
North Carolina does not operate
at all. We also have in our bud
get $1,677,460 for libraries. Their
library program is administered
।by the state library commission
and the costs do not show in the
■education budget. They pay bus
drivers $27.50 a month. By state
law, our bus drivers cannot get
less than SIOO a month.
Moreover, they are getting a
$49,979,782.50 a year increase
this year and next. We will get
an increase of $8,837,838 each
year for the 1961-63 biennium. If
we had got the increase they got,
all our teachers could have had
an increase of $1,090.65 instead
of the S3OO pay raise they did
get. Their buses operate on gas
! that is bought by the state and
not locally, and on which they
have no state tax. It costs them
11 14c a gallon; ours costs from
18c to 32c. We furnish free text
books to ALL our children. They
furnish only free BASIC texts
to elementary children and rent
them the supplementary books.
They don’t furnish free text
books at all to the high school
students, but charge each high
school student $4.50 a year for
his books. We budget $4 25 per
high school student to provide
free their high school textbooks,
to our 300,679 high school pupils.
GOOD DESCRIPTION — I
heard a man say the other day,
about an up-and-coming rural
school with good teachers and in
terested parents and alert young
sters: “That school’s simply a
live with learning!”
TEACHER GETS 11 1 4 DAYS
SICK LEAVE—Did you known
that Georgia teachers get I¥4 days
of sick leave each month if they
need it? That’s 11 14 days per
year. The state pays a substitute.
At least it sends SSO per teacher
to the 198 local systems to go in
to his sick leave fund. It goes out
with the $450 per teacher
Maintenance and Operation
money, making this item total
SSOO per teacher. Some systems
add to this money and give the
teacher a cumulative 30 day sick
leave if she needs it. It gives
them a feeling of security. (Speak
ing of “M & O” money, Dr. Allen
Smith, our assistant state super
intendent in charge of fiscal af
fairs, says that most schools have
to spend more than the state
sends them in maintenance and
operation money. Average is a
bout $635 per teacher.)
Why Use Lime?
Just as oil is necessary for top
performance of a tractor engine,
lime is essential for top crop pro
duction. Here are some reasons
why you should use lime for your
crops:
Lime corrects soil acidity. Lim
ing an acid soil is,a must for the
growth of legumes such as alfal
fa. Liming is necessary for high
est yields of most nonlegumes
such as cotton and corn.
Lime supplies plant nutrients.
All plants need calcium and mag
nesium for growth. On soils low
in one or both of these plant nu
trients, the use of liming mater
ials containing these elements
will increase per acre yields.
Lime makes other plant nu
trients more available. Acid soils
lock up some plant nutrients, es
pecially phosphorus. Liming a
strongly acid soil will unlock
these plant nutrients and make
them more available to growing
plants.
Lime promotes bacterial activi
ty. Bacteria are the life of a soil.
They are responsible for breaking
down organic matter (such as
corn and cotton stalks) in the
soil and also for making soil ni
trogen more available. Since most
bacteria cannot live in a very
acid soil, liming acid soils in
creases bacterial activity.
So you see lime is very impor
tant for successful crop produc
tion. The amount of lime to use
will depend upon several things:
(1) the kind of crop grown, (2)
the type of soil (heavy clay soils
require more lime to change
acidity than lighter sandier soil),
(3) the acidity of the soil, and
(4) the amount of organic mat
ter.
The only sure way to find out
the lime needs for a particular
soil and crop is to have a soil
test made. You may “overlime”
if you guess at how much you
need. So don’t guess, soil test for
your lime requirements.
