League publication “Know
Clayton County” and con
sensus reached at the No
vember. 1966 unit meetings.
Selection of an “election
machinery” item would in
clude the study of the elec
tion code and the evaluation
of its application in Clayton
County with particular em
phasis on poll management.
Jury selection would in
clude a study into the cri
teria of jury selection and
its application in Clayton
County as set forth In the
Georgia Constitution.
Since Clayton County has
both a sheriff’s department
and a police department, a
study and evaluation of this
system might be selected.
Particular emphasis would
be made into the study of its
effectiveness, efficiency and
economy.
The final study item to be
voted on is the study and
evaluation of the Clayton
County Civil Service System.
Since this is the first time
a local item has been se
lected, all members of the
Clayton County League of
Women Voters are urged to
attend.
These subjects were ones
which aroused the League’s
interest in compiling the in
formation for the “Know
Clayton County” booklet.
Copies of this booklet may
be obtained for 50c from
Davis Office Supplies on
Main St. in Forest Park, S&S
Office Supplies in Jonesboro
or from any League member.

when he received a commis

served until the end of World
War 11. When he was dis
charged from the Navy, Mr.

and held successive appoint
ments in Chicago parent
headquarters as national
sales manager of hardware
lines, buyer of power tools,

In 1956 Mr. Swensson was

He held this position until
Feb. 1,1965, at which time he
was appointed general man

“We have one of the
finest Schools of Business
Administration in America
today,” he said. “Our School
of Arts and Sciences, which
awarded its first A.B. degree
in 1958, will, beginning in
September, offer its first
doctorate—the Ph. D. in
Psychology.”
“That is real progress, and
it will be continued,” Dr.
Suttles said.
“The new School of Edu
cation will take a proper
place in the galaxy of exist
ing Schools on campus and
those which probably will be
added in years to come.”
An urban institution such
as Georgia State College
must offer a great variety of
programs, and teacher
training is one of them—but
only one, he said.
The Board of Regents ac
tion authorizing the estab
lishment of the School of
Education specified that in
time, the School will offer
the degree of Doctor of Edu
cation.
Dr. Suttles said that at
present, Georgia State Col
lege offers a large variety of
programs of study in educa
tion, largely through the
School of Arts and Sciences.
This array of programs will
be transferred to the School
of Education, and the list of
offerings will be greatly in
creased.
The Board of Regents, in
approving the School, noted
that a "large percentage of
the State’s teachers live and
work” in the Atlanta area.

Wisteria
To Reopen
In June
The Wisteria Restaurant of
Jonesboro is closed to enable
the owner-manager, Mrs.
Yoshinuma, to visit Japan,
where she will take a much
needed vacation. Mrs. Yoshi
numa plans to reopen about
the beginning of June. Her
many friends are wishing
her Bon Voyage — and look
forward to her return.
A School of Education near
them seems a logical thing
to establish, the Regents
said.
They also noted that
Georgia is lagging far be
hind other states of the
South in the education at
teachers. In 1965, Georgia
produced 2,413 teachers—a
small number compared to
5,236 educated in North
Carolina, 4,101 in Tennessee,
and 3,044 in Alabama. Only
South Carolina produced
fewer teachers than Georgia
in 1965.
Dr. Suttles said that for
the time being, persons who
wish to enroll in the new
School of Education should
apply through the College’s
School of Arts and Sciences.
This application procedure
will be changed when the
organizational structure of
the new School is formed.
