Georgia Educational Needs Are Cited
In Report of Governor's Commission
Georgia’s people are hoping to
compete on at least equal footing
vith the rest of the nation for a
secure position, economically and
mlturally, in the future. Yet the
unount of financial support provid
!d for each child or youth in ele
mentary and high schools in Geor
»ia is only two-thirds as much as
the national average.
These points are emphasized in
he preliminary findings of the Gov
ernor’s Commission to Improve Ed
ication.
The Commission’s Director, Dr.
James L. Miller, points out that the
percentage gap between what Geor
gia spends per pupil and the nation
al average has narrowed only slight
ly over a ten-year period. In 1952-53,
Georgia’s average was 33 per cent
lower than the national average,
and in 1962-63 it had dropped only
to 31 per cent lower.
In the school year 1962-63, Geor
gia’s current expenditures for its ed
ucational program amounted to $298
per child. The average for the na
tion during the same year was $432
per child, or $134 more than Geor
gia. In order to have equaled the
national average in 1962-63, Dr.
Claude Purcell, state superintend
ent of schools, has told the Commis
sion, the state would have had to
increase its expenditures by $120,-
000,000.
Determining how to bring Geor
gia’s educational program up to the
rest of the nation’s and how much
this upgrading will cost is the major
assignment given to the Commis
sion by Governor Sanders. The Com
mission is working on a master plan
of total education for the future.
The plan will be presented Decem
ber 10.
A number of factors give evidence
the present educational program in
Georgia is not doing an adequate
job of educating the state’s young
people, according to Dr. Miller.
Reports made to the Commission
show some of these to be:
The holding power of the schools
is far from being as effective as it
should be. Studies show 47 per cent
of the children in fifth grade seven
years ago had dropped out by the
time the class graduated last spring.
Almost 36 per cent of young Geor
gians called up for the draft last
year could not pass the Army’s
mental examination.
About two-thirds of the systems
and three-fourths of the high schools
are too small to meet the standards
for adequate programs, and for ef
ficiency. In 1962-63, there were 1,929
schools in 197 school systems,
showing progress in consolidation
over the years. Ten years ago, for
instance, in 1952-53, there were 3,113
schools.
However, the national standard
set by eminent educational author
ities for the minimum graduating
class (or a high school is 100. Out
of 338 white high schools, 235 had a
senior class of 100 or less. Os 180
Negro high schools, 159 had a sen
ior class of 100 or less.
The Commission’s recent prelim
inary report noted: “This prepon
derance of small high schools is, of
course, associated generally with
the small school systems. The be
low-standard size high schools enroll
only 44 per cent of the white pupils.
However, 65 per cent of Negro pu
pils were enrolled in these small
schools. Many of these institut
ions cannot be accredited by region
al associations. The effect of this
situation on the opportunities for
Georgia youth to pursue higher ed
ucation is evident.”
Although the degree of prepared
ness among public school teachers
is somewhat improving, last year
nearly 4,000 teachers were not fully
prepared to teach. Statistics show
2,600 in the public school systems
did not have college degrees, and an
additional 1,300 held B-4 provisional
certificates. These are persons who
have degrees but are not fully pre
pared for teaching.
New teachers coming into the sys
tem are required to have four years

of college, including the minimun
required professional training, whic!
is 18 semester hours. Also on t h <
brighter side of the picture, th<
number of teachers who have done
college work at the graduate leve
is increasing. Last year, 371 teach
ers had six years of college, an in
crease of 171 over the previous year
and 6,413 had completed five year'
of college, an increase of 158 ovei
the same period.
Teachers’ salaries in Georgia are
well behind the national average
although the average is higher than
in several neighboring states. The
National Education Association r e
cently released a study of estimated
average salaries for 1962-63, which
showed the following comparisons:
(In clu de d is the rank among
states and annual salary.)
25th — Florida, 5,450.
35th — North Carolina, 4,975.
41st — Georgia, 4,637.
46th —South Carolina, 4,150.
47th — Alabama, 3,988.
The national average is $5,735.
The Georgia salaries vary from
one community to another, with an
estimated 14,000 teachers receiving
no supplement from the local com
munity to add to their base state
pay.
The pupil-teacher ratio also varies
greatly among systems. Nationally,
Georgia ranks 46th with an average
of about 1 to 29. Many schools have
classes with more than 40 pupils. In
some rural areas which have lost
population over recent years,
however, there are classes with few
er than 10 pupils per teacher.
Added to all these problems with
in the public school system is one
more that may be harder than any
of the rest to handle. This is the
mushrooming school-age population.
In sheer numbers and in terms of
the additional classrooms, equip
ment and teachers that will be need
ed, the job of meeting future needs
will be tremendous, the Commission
to Improve Education reports.
Already the public schools are ad
ding approximately 24,000 children
per year to their rolls. This will
mean hiring approximately 1,000
more teachers per year, and will
mean building hundreds more class
rooms.
Where is the money coming from
to hire these teachers and build
these classrooms? There have been
suggestions to Commission members
that at least some of it come from
increased local support.
Georgia’s schools now are suppor
ted in this manner: 29 per cent from
local communities, 65 per cent from
state appropriations, and six per
cent from the federal government.
The total amount spent in 1962-63
was $302,000,000. A Commission re
port also shows local communities
increased their proportion of total
school funds supplied by only 4 per
cent — from 25 to 29 per cent —- in
the ten-year period from 1952-53 to
1962-63.
The state’s school system is now
in the process of expanding its area
vocational and technical schools.
By the end of next year, it expects
to have a total of 26 in operation
over the state. These schools will
offer high school programs in agri
culture, business and distributive
education, home economics and
trade and industrial education.
SMALL PECANS
If pecans from your trees are
smaller than you think they should
be, there probably is a good reason.
R. L. Livingston, Extension horticul
turist, says there may not be enough
fertilizer. A lack of zinc sulfate could
be the reason. Not enough water at
the right time, and failing to control
insects, could also cause small pe
cans.
What to do when fat catches on
fire in a skillet or broiler? Throw
baking soda on the blaze, advises
Miss Lucile Higginbotham of the
Cooperative Extension Service. She
explained that soda smothers the fire
by forming carbon dioxide gas
which shuts out oxygen.

Q. In meeting our family needs
for health insurance, what are the
kinds of policies from which to
choose?
A. There are thousands of differ
ent health insurance plans from
which to choose. While they differ
in many respects, all have a com
mon purpose to provide money to
help pay for family medical care.
Q. What are the differences be
tween group and individual health
insurance plans?
A. Group plans are developed to
meet the over-all needs of a group
of individuals who have similar em
ployment, locations and other com
mon characteristics. Plans on an in
dividual basis are developed to meet
the special needs of an individual
or family.
Q. What protections should we
consider in our health insurance
plan?
A. Three major areas to consider
are: (1) Basic plans to help pay
hospital bills, surgeons’ fees, drugs,
special treatments and other relat
ed bills; (2) loss of income insurance
to help replace some of the income
lost when unable to work, and (3)
major medical to cover a substantial
portion of the big expenses for an
extended illness.
Q. How does the major medical
plan work?
A. Major medical benefits provide
protection against the large costs of
serious or prolonged illness. Major
medical insurance pays a share of
the cost of hospital, surgical and
other medical treatment not cover
ed by the basic policy. This plan
generally includes a deductible
clause from SSO to SSOO and a “co
insurance” provision which means
that you pay a percentage of the
total over and above the deductible
portion of the expense.

ment of the University of Georgia
Cooperative Extension Service.)
