Georgia's traditional beverage of moderation — it’s light, sparkling, delicious. And naturally, the Brewing Industry in Georgia is proud of the nearly $10,000,000 in direct beer taxes paid the state, and the $4,500,000 additional taxes paid counties and cities. This money helps support schools and hospitals and builds better roads. In Georgia, beer belongs—enjoy it. United States Brewers Association, Inc.

WILDLIFE Vales Out of School By Bernice McCullar State Department of Education MORE TEACHERS GRADU ATING — Here’s news from Ted Owens, our state supervisor of certification. Georgia’s 26 col leges that graduate teachers are graduating about 400 more this year than last. The 18 colleges for white students will graduate 1,578, which is exactly 200 more than last year, 78 more men teachers and 122 more women teachers. English teachers lead the field, with 216 graduating this year, as compared with 165 last year. Social science will have 181 this year, had 154 last year. There will be 79 this year; there were 48 last year. There is still a shortage in elementary teachers. More men, however, are preparing to teach in ele mentary grades now. The Negro colleges will have 727 teacher graduates, had 532 last year. The total picture shows 2,305 teach ers graduating in 1963, against 1,910 for 1982. About half of them will actually show up in classrooms of Georgia when September comes. Holding even that 60% there, at present sala ries, is a problem. WE ARE SQUELCHING OUR CREATIVE CHILDREN Dr. Paul Torrance, who was not so long ago a Georgia schoolboy in Milledgeville and is now the nation’s foremost authority on bright children, says we lose 70% of our most gifted children by depending on I. Q. tests. Now in Minnesota as director of a Re- search Bureau at the University, Paul Torrance says we often mistake creativity for unruliness, eccentricity, and even stupidity. (Teachers tend to like the un troublesome child who does what he is told, does not ask too many questions.) CHOCOLATE SCHOOL — When the originator of the Her shey chocolate bar, Milton Her shey, died in 1945, he left 70% of his chocolate fortune for a school for orphan boys, reports Changing Times. (Makes me think of this Georgia story; the Marquis de Montelet fled France to escape the guillotine during the French Revolution. He bou ght a house on the Georgia coast, on Sapelo Island. He called it “La Chatlet.” The Negroes soon corrupted that to “the Chocolate House.”) WHAT THE SOVIET AM BASSADOR SAID ABOUT US — Sir C. P. Snow, Britisher speaking in America, reports this anecdote. The Soviet Am bassador in London was speakin; to Cambridge students. He said “The U. S. is a great country We have many differences with them. But we respect their many achievements, especially in edu cation. They have made them selves a highly educated coun try.” (This speech was reported in the National Observer, a newspaper that has as managing editor a former Plains, Georgia, school student: Don Carter.) SUMMER JOBS IN WASH- INGTON — Every year, the U. S. government hires high school and college students for summer jobs. Some are in Washington; others are across the country in parks and regional offices. Some require exams. Salaries range from $296 a month for high school graduates to $342 for stu dents with 21/ 2 years of college. They can work 130 days maxi mum, earn up to $1,846. About 8 000 work in Washington; 3,000 elsewhere. Information available from Civil Service Commission, Washington 25, D. C. TWO TEACHERS IN A HILL TOP HOUSE — I know two teachers who live in Georgia’s most beautiful house of the Georgian architecture period. I often wonder why they named this after the Hanoverian Geor ges. Such beauty is too good for the bounders that most of these German kings were. President Randall Minor of Shorter Col lege, a former teacher, GEA president, and principal of Model School at Shannon, is now lord of the manor of the Hilltop House. Shorter bought it for its presidents. Mrs. Minor still teaches at Model School. Their daughter, Nancy, is a student at Agnes Scott. We drove down from this beautiful hilltop house the other day to Myrtle Hill cemetery to see the grave of an other teacher’s wife. She was a Rome girl. Her husband taught at Princeton. His name was Woodrow Wilson. Once she said plaintively about her teacher husband the same thing that many another teacher’s wife has said. “We spend more on books than we do on clothes.” (By the way, Randall Minor is doing a fine job at Shorter. Baptists and other Georgians can be proud.) ROTC TO Be INCREASED Congress, pressured to abol ish ROTC high school units, cre ated such a furor thereby that it will now increase them in stead. ROTC, now in 225 high schools, may soon be in 2,000. NOT ONE WORD ABOUT IT? The U. S. Constitution does not even mention education. Not one single word. (Senator Her man Talmadge, 1963 speaker at the Georgia STAR-Student-and- Teacher banquet, has introduced into Congress the idea of a Con stitutional amendment specifi cally reserving school handling to the states.) ANY IN YOUR TOWN? Prin cipal Frank Brown, a Georgian who is now principal of t h e exciting Melbourne High School (near Cape Canaveral), which i was the subject of a Saturday Evening Post article said, “There is enough deadwood teaching in America to heat the schools of Wisconsin for an entire winter.” That made me think of some thing else I heard somebody say, “The people in a community get just about the kind of schools they want.” HIGH SCHOOL AMBITION Guess which careers most 9th graders pick. Boys: engineering. Girls: nursing. (But both often “hange later.) POPE AND THE KIDS — It was Alexander Pope who said that a litte learning is a danger ous thing. But any little boy who brings home a bad report card can tell you it’s so. NINE LEFT IN GEORGIA — Georgia has only 9 one teacher schools left. But the U. S.— which has 125.000 schools — has 25.000 one teacher schools left. (Geor gia has 1.929 schools.) GRADUATES — Paul Wills, our statistical chief, estimates that Georgia s 518 high schools will graduate 36.057 this year. Os these, about 14,423 will go to col lege. (Georgia graduates have increased 109 per cent since 1946: whites 91 per cent: Negroes 192 oer cent.) Teen kge Obesity Obesity not only is a problem of adults. It also is a problem among teen-a ers, according to Extension Service nutritionist Miss Nelle Boyd. She says teen age obesity occurs most fre quently with girls who have poor diets. FOREST KILLER! Mr. Burnit, the malicious woods burner, robs us of our abundant Southern forests. When he strikes, scenic beauty and outdoor recrea tion go up in smoke. Lost are valuable raw materials for industries that provide jobs and income. Mr. Burn it is ANYONE who ma liciously burns a forest. Be on the lookout and report anyone you see destroying a forest. /TK REMEMBER: every time •-MS’ A FOREST URE STRIKES, YOU GET BURNED!
