A Most Courageous Friend Passes
One of Atlanta’s finest and most courageous citizens has
gone on to that better land. Ernest Rogers, columnist, re
tired from the Atlanta Journal aft.g_r more than 40 years
FUW g W Ry N Cery R, T
A newspaper is the reflection of the people who put it
out and from time to time a writer comes along who gives
his paper warmth, humor and humanity.
Such a writer was Ernest Rogers of the Journal, who died
Monday night. Ernie had wit and he had courage, and his
friendliness and his feeling for his fellow humans made him
and his writings immensely popular.
Ernie liked to be where other people were. In his many
years on the Journal he came to know nearly everybody of
interest in Atlanta and in Georgia and of course everybody
knew him. This gift of his for friendship and his activities
on behalf of all that was the best in Atlanta were respon
sible for one of his titles, “The Mayor of Peachtree.”
The public will remember him for years as a drama critic,
a columnist and one of the first radio personalities of this
area.
Here on the paper we will recall him, for as long as
memory lasts, as a gentleman whose pleasure and privilege
it was to serve others through his profession and his writ
ings, and whose writings graced the Journal and added
much to the warmth and quality of life in Atlanta.

chairman,
The agreement making
Clayton County a laboratory
center is the outgrowth of
discussions between the two
groups concerning means of
improving both the pre
service and in-service educa
tion of teachers.
The basic idea is that both
public schools and teacher
education institutions are re
sponsible for the preparation
of new professional person
nel and that the most effec
tive implementation of
needed improvements in
teacher education must in
volve the public schools.
As a laboratory center for
teacher education, the Clay
ton County School System
will take more responsibility
in the pre-service training
of student teachers, giving
the students an opportunity
to experience teaching in the
whole system rather than in
only one classroom.
The center will begin op
eration during the current
school year with the place
ment of student teachers in
Clayton County.
During the year, long
range plans for the develop
ment of new and improved
methods of providing labora
tory experience for pre-serv
ice teachers will be made.
Directing the center ac
tivities will be a coordinat
ing committee consisting of
teacher, administrative and
system personnel from Clay
ton County and professors
from the Georgla College de

our customers to know about
it,” says Mr. Byers. “We also
