Letters To
Old Man
By .Dm Pollywog
By .Dm Pollywng
What a picture is the picture
Of this little world of ours,
And its sweeping umbrella
Dripping light and golden show
ers;
With its cradles full of oceans,
And the waves that ride the sea—
I believe the Man that made it
Thought a lot of you and me.
I believe the Man who made it
Told the sun Just when to shine,
Taught the stars their pretty
twinkle,
Put the needles on the pine;
Strung the rivers down the valleys
Like blue ribbons to the sea—
I believe the Man who made it
Thought a lot of you and me.
I believe the Man who made it
Taught the birds just how to sing,
Placed the hills beside the valleys,
Planted every freshening spring;
Started pretty waters running
From the mountains to the sea—
I believe the Man who made it
Thought a lot of you and me.
Dear Old Man Folks:
Really it IS a wonderful world
we have found ourselves a-living in.
now Isn't it? Yet, each and every
day that we try to do our little bit
we hear people complaining, blam
ing such a wonderful world as this
with a fault! But if all the truth
was known, those same complain
ers wouldn't swap their chance for
existing here a little longer for any
thing they can imagine. Afraid, of
course that they would be swapping
the bad for the worst, and I reckon,
in a lot of cases, they would. Now
and then, though, we find a fellow
who would take a chance on any
thing for one time, and for the thrill
of a change. Such as they are of
ten willing to leap off and into the
deep of the night, expecting to come
up at the edge of a pretty morn
ing, clothed in a suit of armor that
would shield them from all life’s
troubles—for all eternity long!
A Coward, That's All
There is room for a bit of serious
consideration here. I believe that
a man who is a coward down here
in this little world had better stay
away from all other worlds if he
can. Surely he wouldn't have the
heart to apply for entrance to a
better world than this is, if he had
failed to do anything worth the
while with himself. He would stand
at the gate and trembling—loaded
down wi*h wishes, hopes and re
grets, that once simmered and pe
tered out, and because of his little
ness I doubt whether or not the
devil would want him!. There he
would stand as you have heard the
saying, “all dressed up and no place
to go.” Time then to take another
leap and into something different
or that would be more in line with
his cowardice, his laziness and so
on—but the thought here is, do we
leckon that such findings would
suit his constitution?
A Change Comes About
To save me, I can’t see that they
would want the complaining man in
any other world, known or unknown
to man. But there is truth in this
thought I reckon, he wiil go places,
anyway and will get the fixings he
mast deserves. He may land up with
a regular position shoveling coal, or
he may have a chance to do a lot
of dancing the Dido, er-er, what
ever that is! Dancing the Dido
would suit him a great lot, for
Thinklots has told me that doing
that dance would more than likely
suit him, since it's one game that
requires a lot of action, and with
much feeling and no thought.
What a Picture
What a picture is this little world
of ours, with its roof away up yon
der. And don’t, we admire the flow
ers and trees and pretty bird's son?
Sometimes I believe that all birds
sing the same song and this is it—
From my tree
I m praising Thee,
Hear my feeble words—
That Thou may
Have Thy way
With us little birds.
Love. O love.
My Heaven above,
Hear us as we sing—
Small we be,
Compared to Thee.
But Thou art everything!
And if this really is the bird song.
I believe the complaining man ought
to study the birds, and try to find
out the best he can why the birds
sing so sweetly! Let. him hear the
truth that is in these last lines.
“Small I be. compared to Thee,
Thou are everything!”
Your? very truly.

Children Need Fathers
We cannot help feeling that the
life of children would have a much
rounder, more stable setting if all
fathers somehow managed to give
their young ones more of their per
sonal attention, companionship and
love.
Mothers and fathers have differ
ent attitudes toward the children,
and the children need both. The
mother is likely to love her children
for their hidden possibilities, their
future promise. The father meas
ures them by the stricter rules of,
society. If he is a doctor lawyer he must he J j
cure the sick; if he is a
is supposed to get justice for his
client. Whatever his work he must
make good now; for in his world ;
people are measured not by what |
they dream or promise but by what
they really do. Thus while the
mother is forgiving, the father is
practical and realistic.
The father, too, has broad ac
quaintance with men and affairs; a
more objective view point; greater
diversity of experience. These mat
ters discussed in the home give a
i balance and range to the child's
j oackground that he cannot get only
from his mother.
Especially as boys grow older, the
value of the father's companionship
and discipline increases as the
youngsters begin to feel they are
outgrowing “womanish” influence;
and the worldly and vocational in
- vests become important. Manliness
in boys results from intimate con
tact with a manly father Man-to
man talks between father and son
are the best way to clarify the
changes during adolescence.
There are fathers who say they
expect to take a day off some time
and have a talk with their growing
boy. But the day is not given and
the boy grows up and does some
thing he will always regret because
that day with his father never ar
rived. Other fathers are gruff and
unresponsive when their children
hang around waiting to ask them
something. It may be important to
the child, but if you rebuff him and
treat the occasion as an interruption
or anne ance, the question may
never be asked and the child's na
ture is hurt to that extent, Com
panionship cannot be had all of a
sudden. It must be based on long,
How growth and confidence, and
through it come the greatest satis
factions and rewards of fatherhood
‘hrough the years.

will probably make herself sick over
the prospect. Yet, I don’t want to
deceive her. What do you suggest?
She will have to be told, for such
deceptions are usually resented all
one's life However, there are ways
of telling. Someone whom the child
has confidence in—you, her father,
or the doctor, should tell, very brief
ly, casually, and matter-of-factly.
Put her attention on the future
benefits. Explain that the operation
itself does not hurt, that there will
be just a little discomfort after
wards. Try to plan the telling and
the operation when there are no 1

A person living out of the state,
and poring over tht> various statis
tics that apply to Georgia is apt to
be mis-led. He notices that it is
near the bottom in education. He
finds that the per capita Income is
one of the lowest. He is likely to
conclkde that Georgians do not
care.
Fact Finding Committee
One of the remarkable educational
movements in the United States is
the work of Josephine Wilkins
through her unique Georgia Fact
Finding Committee. Beginning at
scratch with a big idea and no
money, she has collected the brains,
the prestige, the speaking ability,
and the writing talents of socially
minded Georgians, brewed them in
the crucible of her own organiza
tional genius, and brought forth an
attack on state problems recog
nized for its sincerity and disinter
estedness.
An insight as to her carefulness
in avoiding entanglements of a po
litical nature may be gained from
the following anecdote: A promi
nent South Georgia legislator invit
ed her to dinner. When the check
was presented it ran into three fig
ures as distinguished from the usual
tw'enty-five or fifty cent lunch. The
legislator, all courtliness and dig
nity, got the surprise of his life
when she insisted on paying and
did pay for her half of the check!
Just about anything that Albany
undertakes is news, because its un
dertakings do not wind up in the
usual cemetery. Albany schools are
as good as any. Here we do not
! have the usual and needless turn
over of teachers that many systems
have. Here there is a fire depart
ment that has continuously attract

has never been a lynching.

NO ILLITERACY BY 1940 *
A promising sign in the Better
Education for Georgia movement is
the support that the large organ
izations of the state have already
given. One such agency is the Li
b rary commission under the leader
ship 0{ Miss Beverly Wheatcroft
Her work, although one of the most
important in the capitol, is coinci
dentally one of the least publicized
This lack of recognition is not re
stricted to her own library set-up
All libraries are handicapped by be
ing unable to broadcast on a wide
scale the benefits they bring to a
community. Usually, the sum total
of their efforts is buried in an of
ficial report. Yet in the last ten
years, there has been hardly a li
brary in the state that has had
funds for even this printed report
Although there has not been until
recently an adult education move
ment in the state, the very essence
of library work has always been
the stimulation of the adult mind
The libraries have taken up the
“torch" as the schools relinquish it,
When it happens that library facil
ities are hampered or are non-exis
tent, there is an adult illiteracy
problem.
The illiteracy program has taught
about 50.000 people to read and
write in the past several years.
There are still 150,000 left. It is
a fact, not generally known, that
many of these had learned to read
and write as children. Without
reading material, there was a re
lapse to illiteracy. It is the job of
the library to prevent this educa
tional—and financial—loss by keep
ing the literate from becoming il
literate.
The spectacular educational
achievement of Denmark is due in
great measure to their world famous
Folk Schools in which adults get
together to read and study good
bocks.
When an educational renaissance
becomes a reality in Georgia—and
there is every indication that it will
—recognition must be made of the
seed planted by Ralph McGill and
Thomas -C. David as co-authors of
“Two Georgians Exploie Scandin
avia,” published by the State De
partment, of Education.
This book describes a section of
Europe that, has lifted itself by it,

But all of this it not of particular

of real note is the fact that its citi
zens are not satisfied. They have
organized for themselves a "Step
Forward'' program in which all
forces are united to make. Albany
even greater: Education and Busi
ness have joined hands. This is of
particular interest to the Better
Education for Georgia Movement
because we are attempting to do on
a state-wide scale that which Al

"Step-Forward'' spirit in every citi
zen.
Education and Business
The highly complicated nature of
business today makes education vi
tal to its existence. There was a
and a few men could direct the en
ergies of thousands in the building
of an Egyptian pyramid, the tilling
of an ancient estate, or the con
struction of a Chinese Wall. The
need for education was the need of
a few—and business was only slight
ly hampered by the ignorance of j
common people like ourselves.
Today, even the most simple bus- J
iness enterprise must be based on |
people who can read and write well, j |
who can figure well, and who have
been taught all or most of the j
knowledge that is needed to "run a
business.” Business can not handle
this education. It takes six months
to teach an illiterate to write a
simple letter, and by that time
there would be no business. It
takes education to teach a person
to understand an
and business can not educate its
consumers. No, the profits of bus
iness are inextricably interwoven
with the results of education. The
business of government in this
country is dependent on an educat
ed citizenry. And so they must go,
