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. JIM POLLYWOG. Esq.

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. Announcing Operation Mrs. S. A. R.: My little girl, 8 aas to have her tonsils out as soon aj possible. I have not told her as she Is nervous and highstrung and 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 (Largest Coverage Any Weelcly ?n the State) tiemocratic discussion and among adults. 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 ed national attention. Here has never been a lynching. there is no problem of A rabbi is one of their most nent citizens. A colored college other special strains.

AltAWW , CSXAA GEORGIA EDUCATION ASSOCIATION 17 U STATE DEPT. OF EDUCATION U % \JWi.AtWUi GEORGIA PRESS . -;4>— EDUCATION 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, bootstraps Every particle of its en ergy. culminatine in an educational economic renaissance, arose out knowledge which grew out of PAGE foi-ktf.es fessor is an orator of renown with both races. Its recreational facili ties are unsurpassed. But all of this it not of particular interest at the moment. What is 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 bany is doing locally. We need a "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, hand in hand—Business, Education, and Democracy. He who strikes at I ui 1 m id 1 c* jg » 4 ».
