, . . that was the great and noble purpose which brought the rural
electric systems into being! . . .
Reaching into the most remote areas of our state, rural elec
tric lines brought power to the farms large and small
alike. Abundant, low-cost electricity which has meant
greater farm productivity, higher standards of living, and
opened up a vast new market for goods and services . . .
And now, with nearly a quarter of a century of experience
behind them, these Member-owned, Member-controlled
businesses are equal to the tasks ahead . . . and if kept
strong by Members' support can continue the great service
for which they were founded: Rural Electrification!

TALES OUT OF SCHOOL
BY BERNICE McCULLAR
YOU’D NEVER GUESS The
first supervisor of certification for
Georgia teachers was the King of
England, so John Medlin, our pre
sent supervisor, informs me. Mr.
Medlin, who directs our teacher
certification program for the State
Department of Education, notes
that in Dr. J. C. Bonner’s recently
published history of Georgia, there
are these interesting facts: Geor
gia’s first teacher of a free public
school had to supplement his sal
ary. His name was John Dobell.
He had 25 students in 1743. The
trustees paid the tuition of 20 of
them. He supplemented his salary
by acting as the Trustees’ secre
tary for Indian affairs. (The first
private school teacher was Chris
topher Ortman, who was fired be-
I cause the preacher didn’t like him,
and became an object of charity.)
The licensing of Georgia’s first
public school teachers was under
the Trustees, and the ultimate li
censing authority was the King.
BLUE-EYED LADY ON A BUS
—Nell (Mrs. Ernest) Hallford, of
Habersham, one of Georgia’s ten
women superintendents of school,
believes in going and seeing a
problem for herself. When there
( was some question recently about
where and when a child got on a
bus, she went out in the early
morning light, early enough to
1 have a six o’clock cup of coffee
■ with the driver, get on and ride
I with him to pick up the first child,
[ and see the problem at first hand.
“I am going to ride all the buses,”
said she. Her day is full of such
problems as a falling partition,
the bursting of a water pipe, the
failure of a heating system, and
. many other problems. Other days
j go quietly, and she can attend to
I the work in her pretty office, in
the old Clarkesville courthouse.
Her windows look out on a town
of nice, friendly people. Her twen
tyfive bus drivers come and go,
talking about the problem of get
ting about four thousand Haber
sham children to school and back.
, Sometimes they take them to see
the historic shrines, believing they
( should know Georgia history. Mrs.
Hallford succeeded her husband,
who died some months ago. She
has five children, three at the!
University. What’s more, those;
three plan to go into education
and become teachers “just like
Mother and Dad,” they say, which
is quite a tribute to two people
who made a difference in educa
tion.
GET THAT OIL OFF THAT
FLOOR! Does your janitor put oil
on the wooden floor of any old
school building in your communi
ty? Don't DO that! Nothing is
more inflammable. Our new
schools are fire-proof, one story,
and made of non-combustible ma
terials. But the old schools we
have left have to be carefully
“housekept” to protect children
from fire.
THAT LETTER THEY’RE
TALKING ABOUT: Our state
school superintendent sent a let
ter to your superintendent last
week. Want to know what it said?
The letter asked whether your lo
cal school could possibly be run
with less money. This is an honest
effort to find out so that we can
talk sensibly and with facts in
hand to the legislature.
DO YOURS COMPLAIN, TOO?
In a community where children
complained about the lunchroom
menu, and whole plates of food
were being scraped into the gar
bage daily, the nice lunchroom
manager asked the mammas to
come, by two’s and three’s and
eat in the lunchroom, and see
what suggestions they had to
make. Some of them gave her new
recipes, better ideas for combin
ing foods, and other such helps.
Nice mammas, nice lunchroom
manager, if you ask me.
IT’S OUT AT LAST—Our an
nual Directory of Georgia’s schools
and school folks is out at last.
Know what held us up? A few su
perintendents who are always the
cow’s tail about getting their in
formation in. These inconsiderate
people think nothing of holding
ficials of the Municipality of War
ner Robins, Georgia. Those quali
fied to vote in said election shall
be determined in all respects in
accordance with the laws govern
ing the elections for said officials
of the Municipality of Warner Ro
bins, Georgia.
Those voting in said election
who favor the issue of said Muni
cipal Building bonds shall have
written or printed on their ballots,
the words: “FOR ISSUANCE OF
$500,000.00 MUNICIPAL BUILD
ING BONDS”, “FOR ISSUANCE
OF $350,000 MUN ICIPAL
BONDS”, "FOR ISSUANCE OF (
$150,000.00 MUNICIPAL BONDS”, 1
and those voting in said election
who oppose the issue of said Mu
nicipal Building bonds shall have
written or printed on their bal
lots, the words,
“AGAINST ISSUANCE OF ANY
MUNICIPAL BUILDING
BONDS.”

up a publication, thereby incon
veniencing hundreds of people for
months, just because they don’t
get in their information. But to
make up for them, we have scores
of the nicest people who get theirs
in right on time. Next year we
are going to print the bulletins
and leave a few spaces blank. If a
superintendent doesn’t get his
stuff in by press time, we will put
in the space, “No information was
furnished us by this superinten
dent.” Do you think that might
help?
ARE YOU THAT KIND? Are
you the kind of mamma who wants
your child to have A on his re
port whether he has the learning
in his head or not? Then you
aren’t thinking of the child’s good.
You are thinking of your own sil
ly vanity. You just don’t want to
admit that the Jones’ children can
get ahead of yours. But your child
won’t thank you fifteen years from
now when he is having to cope
with other college or business
people who really learned the
stuff. And in the meantime, you
make yourself a nuisance or a joke
to others by raising a fuss and
showing your childish mind.
PTA’S COULD STUDY: How
many children drop out of your
school each year—and why? How
many students go to college? Why
don’t the others go? How many
graduates can the business and
industry in your community ab
sorb? How many boys and girls
would like to live permanently in
their home towns? Why not more?
What goes into the education of a
teacher? Does she have to take too
many education courses? What
does a counselor really do? What
is DCT? Do your parents really
understand the school program?
And the tax structure? And how
a child learns to read?
WHAT JOSEPHINE WROTE
Dr. Spencer King of Mercer, a
Georgian who is interested in stu
dents knowing about their state,
has added another volume to
Georgians. It is titled Edd Tide
and is the dairy of Josephine Clay
Habersham of early Savannah. If
it is as refreshing as the diary of
I Fannie Andrews and Mary Ches
] nut, it will be interesting reading.
Dr. King has already written much
Georgia history, and has done
much to help the rest of us know
more about Georgia.
