Tales Out of School
5 !
BY BERNICE McCULLAR
State Department of Education
CHANGE: This June a teacher
i who started teaching at Willow
i Springs in 1903 for twenty dol
lars a month (she paid $8 board)
| retired. Her school hours were
from 7 in the morning to 5 in the
afternoon Her name is Miss Min
-1 nie Hendrick, and she lives at
Rockmart, Georgia. She taught
three generations and one of her
first students begged her to stay
on a little longer “so you can
teach my great grandchild.”
I
DISAPPEARING SC H O OL
HOUSES: Georgia’s schools, which
not so long ago numbered 3,906,
will when the building program is
complete, number 1648. Once
there were 1,114 white elementary
schools and 482 white high
schools, 2,021 Negro elementary
and 289 Negro high schools. Our
multimillion dollar building pro
gram will reduce all this. We will
have 1,137 white schools and 511
Negro schools. (Have you seen
the new building bulletin “school
house story” yet? This little flame
I colored colume tells the tale of
all this.
TRAVEL TALK: Georgia school
buses go about ten times around
the earth every day. Mileage cost
is about a quarter a mile. Used to
be fifteen cents. If your child lives
within a mile and a half of the
schoolhouse, your county gets
state-pay for hauling him on the
bus.
HOW FAST DOES YOUR
CHILD READ'' Sixth grade read
ing rate (and national average for
everybody) is 225 words a min
ute. But high school students are
apt to lag if they cannot read 300
words a minute, and college stu
dents need to read 350 words a
minute to keep up.
CHROME YELLOW BOOK; A
yellow book the same yellow as
the school buses themselves
has been published by the State
Department of Education on Geor
gia Minimum Standards for School
Buses. It was edited by Joe De-
Foor, who supervises transporta-
} tion in the Division of Administra
| tion, which is headed by Dr.
_ | Claude Purcell.
/' WISE TEACHER SAYS: “There
are no problem children. There
are only children with problems.”
Sarcasm from a teacher to a
child is on the same level of
j sportsmanship as shooting fish in
j a barrel, says a psychiatrist, who
| knows that it is no small thing to
bruise the human spirit.
S WAS THERE A GRADUATE IN
k
; YOUR FAMILY? Did you sit in an
’ audience not too long ago and
have a lump in your throat as you
watched your boy or girl gradu
, ate? Did you remember how short
a time ago the shining-eyed senior
had been a baby? Did you remem
ber the fearful night when he had
the croup, or the time she was in
that accident, or the anxiety you
knew that first day of school? Now
the gates of their childhood have
closed behind them forever, and
there’s an ache in your heart. A
poem you need to read is Herman
Hagedorn’s “Life is a quiet clos
ing, one by one, of doors.”
BROTHER AND SISTER GAR
DENS: Among the projects that
school boys and girls have at
home as part of their vocation-
Ticklers
tiii i * m
fHey, coach! Every time I hit this guy he siu down and
comes back for more!"
al classes are brother and sis
ter gardens. The joy of growing
things, green butterbeans on the
fence, scarlet tomatoes flaming
down the rows, emerald corn wav
ing in the sunlight and shining
through the silver rains, purple
eggplant standing like royalty in
the garden, tiny snow-white-and
green onions, golden squash, beige
potatoes, sunset colored carrots,
all these stretch the family bud
get, provide health, and give
schoolboys and girls the sense of
achievement that comes from do
ing interesting things that matter.

ADD TALES OUT OF SCHOOL
QUOTABLE QUOTE: Many a
child is so overprotected in the
hothouse of his family that he
cannot stand the frost of contact
with the real world Kelly.
BOOKS FOR THE AIR-MIND
ED; If your high school boy or
girl is interested in airplanes, they
would like to have on their book
shelves these not new but beauti
fully written volumes: Wind, Sand,
and Stars by Antoine de Saint
Exurpery, and Listen the Wind,
and North to the Orient by Anne
Morrow Lindbergh.
FOLKLORE: Tell your children
the old tales you heard when you
were a child the ghost in the
swamp, the eerie light across the
field, the scream on the mountain,
-the queer tracks thorugh the hol
low these things belong to
Georgia folklore. Don’t let the old
stories die. Much of the charm of
America is in its folklore. We
have in the audio-visual library
at the State Department of Educa
tion a delightful tape of the Oke
fenokee’s Lem Griffis telling tall
tales of the swampland, You or
Uncle Tim or Aunt Minnie in your
family probably know stories
just as enchanting. Tell them to
your children.
