Tales Out of School
THE CASE OF THE MISSING
DEFINITION; What would YOU
say juvenile delinquency is? Peo
ple from 65 nations stayed two
weeks in Switzerland at the first
United Nations conference on
crime prevention recently, got out j
a ten page report and still
could not agree on a definition of
what it is, They did agree, how
ever, that what would help us is
families getting closer together.
DO YOU AND YOUR CHIL
DREN HAVE FUN TOGETHER?
Remember Ogden Nash’s little
jingle?
“We’d be in less danger
From the wiles of the stranger
If our own kin and kith
Were more fun to be with.”
SHOULD PTA’S PLAN THEIR
PROGRAMS A YEAR AHEAD?

TIONS doubts the wisdom of

The only thing children wear
out faster than shoes are mammas
and teachers.
FANTASTIC? The national PTA
proposes SBSOO a year for experi
; enced, efficient teachers. Says the
I Dayton, Ohio, News (reprinted in
the Congressional Record), “This
will, at first, strike the average
American as fantastic. But is it
fantastic? Teachers are the ma
i chine tools in the manufacture of
a nation’s moral and intellectual
capital goods. If America wants to
be robust In citizenship and lead
I ership the next half century, it ;
1 must purchase the finest kind of <
processing for its raw materials, j i
This ma y be a prerequisite to j j
freedom’s survival. Even though (
there’s small chance of paying tea- ] i
chers SBSOO tomorrow, or even day ’
after tomorrow, it’s time we took i
a new look at our values.” ! 1
TEACHER OF THE YEAR: I j
was sitting around a luncheon ta
ble the other day with five other
people interested in education. We t
were just talking, as people do i
when they sit around with their
minds unbuttoned, chatting of this
and that. Main interest was how ;
to get good teachers. “Wouldn’t it
be a good thing if we could have
local and state Teacher of the Year
projects in Georgia, with the big
state prize being a trip to Europe,
a new automobile, and a year’s
wardrobe? somebody asked. “But
wouldn’t that make the public feel
they’d done enough, and so really
did not need to raise teachers’ sal
aries?” somebody else objected. I
don’t know. What do YOU think?
SCARCE AS HEN’S TEETH:
Science teachers are scarcest just
now, with math teachers running
a close second. If your child has a
really good science and math tea
cher, you’re downright lucky.
GHOSTS AT SCHOOL: Your
school has more children to start
in the first grade than will be
there to graduate 12 years from
now. All schools are haunted by
these educational ghosts, who van
ish somewhere between the shin- 1
eyed comlng-to-school day and
graduation night. How well does
YOUR school hold them? A few
years ago, our record with white
children was this bad: 73,000 start
in the first grade. By the time that
group gets to the seventh grade, 1
there were only 43,000 left. On
graduation night, only 23,000.!
Things are better now. We are do
ing research on this, and I will 1
have some figures for you soon
in this column. Meantime, find out |
about YOUR school.
SIX QUESTIONS: Here are six
questions 500 Georgians will be |
talking about September 14-16 at
the University in Athens, getting l
ready for the White House Con
ference on Education n Washing
ton November 28:
What should our schools accom-j
plish?
In what ways can we organize
our school systems more efficient- j
ly and economically?
What are our school building
needs?
How can we get enough good
teachers and keep them?
How can we finance our schools
build and operate them?
How can we obtain a continuing
public interest in education?
COMMITTEE: A group that
keeps minutes and wastes hours.
GOOD SYSTEM: High school girl
named Janie showed up one day
looking gloomy. Said her best
friend, ‘‘Don’t look so down-ln-the
dumps. This is a wonderful world.
Girl for every boy, boy for every
girl. You can’t beat a system like
that.” Said Janie, “I don’t want to
beat it. I just want to get in on it.”
GROUP PROCESS: Se co n d

Everyone is proud of the new

make this the best and most pros
perous year.
The faculty members of the
Southside School entertained the
parents of the various communi
ties at a get-acquainted party on
Wednesday night, September 14.
This was a very lovely and gay af
fair with the presence of approxi
mately 110 parents. The group
elected their officers for the
school year. At the close of the
entertainment they were taken on
a tour of the building by the fac
ulty. We were happy to have visit
ing with us on this occasion Miller
Dixon, president of the Perry
PTA organization; Mrs. Louise
Roberts, district president; John
Moody, county agent, Mrs. Marie
Dixon and E. Boden.

His soul is full of wonder at small
