Pet Teacher
They used to say ot school teachers, “Those who can. do:
those who can’t, teach.” The theory was that anybody dumb
enough to work for prestige and peanuts deserved to be
slighted. The drab, uninspired discipline imposed by many of
these minions of learning often consisted of forcing their
victims to write a few hundred copies of such idiotic
exhortations as “1 will not chew gum in class."
But teachers have at last come to a well deserved respect,
and more proper pay. and sometimes more ingenious and
constructive rehabilitation measures. For instance, over in
Inamirr they once had a grammar school teacher who believed
in staying one jump ahead of the kids. Miss Jennie didn’t
believe in whacking knuckles; after-school detention was a
game with her.
For example, to one miscreant she gave a ball, a ruler and a
length of cotton string. She invited him to take thought, and
to write down a page of full observations about those items.
Her prisoner could turn in his paper after a half hour, and she
would grade it. His score determined the early release time he
had earned. Any remaining part of the sentence he worked out
writing an essay on the pros and cons of disrupting class. The
grade on that, too, went to reducing the "jail" term.
Sometimes she called for translation of an over-erudite
newspaper column into plain English, with a plain dictionary.
That mode of operation lasted a few weeks. Then Miss
Jennie found the grades jumping upwards by leaps and
bounds. The kids had got together and worked out the
answers, and even to some results she had not anticipated. The
kids were thinking’
So she added a triangular prism of wood, and a length ot
board, and two more balls to the kit. These held the kids for
several months. Then, all of a sudden, no customers. The kids
turned upon her. How could they figure out all the pendulum
swings, the bounces, the phenomena of coupled resonance?
She had got across the point, that it was going to take years
to absorb all the education they were demanding. She could
give them the foundation only a bit at a time. Not even a
genius could get it all at once.
In this way Miss Jennie stirred interest in physics, algebra,
geometry, and eventually trigonometry and calculus, both
brands. The kids would be drawn through years, making their
way through high school and college to graduation. But one
master stroke she did achieve. Those kids were learning to
observe, and to reason.
Miss Jennie found later that many of her star pupils went
into engineering, and were on the verge of overshadowing
other professional backgrounds in the government. (Happy
day!) Meanwhile, here on earth we don’t seem to come up
with very many of the direct-to-the-point type of minds
characteristic of engineers. We put up with a plethora of wheel
spinning debate in committee meetingsand in our legislatures.
An engineer today has to be born, and endowed with
miraculous, gifted teachers. He will be fortunate if he is not
submerged in the talk, talk, talk type of training available to
most of us. A little more orientation in discerning the point
and in thinking straight would develope more engineer type
minds. Note that we don’t have to make engineers only; we
simply could borrow their modes of thinking, for the
multitudes who don't get to cash in on their potentials, so:
lack of adequate pedagogy.

Nunn would curb
wasteful spending
TOCCOA (PRN) - Sam
Nunn plans .to go to
Washington and join the
responsible members of the
U.S. Senate to stop wild
government spending.
“It’s impossible to stop
runaway inflation when
uncontrolled federal spending
rolls up a S9O billion deficit in
the past three years,” Nunn
said.
“We are at the point when
people no longer have any
confidence in the country’s
dollars to provide them with a
decent life,” Nunn said.
Nunn pledges to help make
the federal government lead
the way in fighting runaway
inflation instead of leading the
way and causing inflation.
“The price freeze is a cruel
hoax on the working man, the
housewife and the farmer,”
Nunn explained. “In many
cases, wages are frozen solid.
But food, rent and utilities are
zooming upward everyday. A
good example that the price
freeze is not working is simple
arithmetic. During the last
aight months the cost of living
tas risen more -- with controls
on-than the previous eight
months with no controls. Now
who is fooling who.” Nunn
has also pledged to go to bat
for the individual taxpayers
who pay the bills for running
this country and whose wishes
are ignored.
1 School System Receives
i $ 4,6 45 . Grant
The Brantley County Public
School System has been award,
ed $ 4,645 by the Georgia
Department of Education to be
used this fall in its Reading.
The local grant is one of 184
to be distributed to Georgia
public school systems from
$3.2 million in state funds,
reports Jack P. Nix, state sup.
erintendent of schools.
The money is being made
available under the Instruct,
ional Assistance Program
( IAP ). The Program was
established last year by the
legislature in an attempt to
solve the most critical Indi,
vidual education needs as i.
dentified by each school system
which submitted an IAP app
lication.
This year 184 systems

cost of living. NO.
To increase the pay of the
Clerk of Superior Court Clerk

To increase the salary of

To increase the salary of
the Deputy Sheriff. YES.
All registered voters are
urged to turn out and vote.

will vote.
“The super-rich and the big
foundations hide behind their
loopholes,” Nunn continued.
“They don’t care how high
income taxes are because they
pay little or none.”
As U. S. senator, Nunn
pledges to support and work
for a $950 personal exemption
for each family member,
giving a family of four a total
exemption of $3,800. He says
this would shave the average
working man’s tax load by
$242 per year.
This would cost the
treasury sl2 billion—only five
percent of the whole federal
budget.
“Cutting the budget and
giving taxpayers a break will
give the Washington
bureaucrats something useful
to do for a change,” Nunn
said.
As for the foreign aid
giveaway, Nunn said the
government has thrown
billions of dollars down a rat
hole. He pointed to some of
our giveaways over the past 25
years:
Albania, $20,400,000;
Algeria, $176,100,000; Chili,
$12,810,000,000; Cuba,
$ 4 3,7 00,000; INdia,
$8,003,600,000.
“Let’s quit trying to buy
friends in foreign countries,”
Nunn said. “Let’s keep our
national defense strong, and
we will earn the respect of
others.”
