Recommendations suggest
ed for implementation by the
State Board of Education are:
1. Provide an effective coun
seling service for all elementary
and secondary schools.
2. Expand cultural arts pro
grams in all public schools. This
would include the fine and per
forming arts such as music, bal
let, visual arts and drama.
3. Explore the use of differ
entiated school staff, involving an j
educational team concept of spe
cialists particularly in remedial
areas.
4. Develop a planter establish
ing early childhood education,
based on the fact “that 50 per
cent of a child’s intellectual de
velopment takes place between
conception and age four and 30
percent between ages four and
eight.” It was suggested that a
blueprint be developed by the St
ate Department of Education in
cooperation with other state agen
cies, teacher-training institu
tions and early childhood educa
tion associations.
5. Determine feasibility of al
lotting professionally trained food
services directors - due to the
“direct correlation between the
eating habits of children and their
ability to learn.” 1116 study points
out that many Georgia children
come to school without break
fast and do not participate In
the school lunch program.
6. Keep school buildings open
all day year-round for use by
students and community.
7. Commend the State Depart
ment of Education for the Geor
gia Assessment Project, in which
a 12-member Commission o n Ed
ucation Goals to be appointed by
the State Board will determine
“the objectives for public edu
cation in Georgia ter the next
ten years.”
Notch Planks
The spaced cedar Ix4s, 2x4s
or 2x6s laid edge-up as roofing
for a patio sunshade can be toe
nailed to beams. But it’s even
better to notch the planks to fit
down over the beams, then toe
nail.
