if we paid them as well as they pay
their own employees. The twenty
three thousand teachers and school
administrators who are members
of the Georgia Education Associa
tion pay their state secretary (cur

twelve thousand dollars a year,
plus travel expenses. They pay ten

Board of Education is over. Gov
. ernor Ernest Vandiver recom
. mended to the Board members
. the name of President Jack Mc-
Donough of the Georgia Power
[ Company. Mr. McDonough is an
i able business man and a friend
of education. He is a former mem
ber of the Board of Regents. By
the time you read this, the Board
members will no doubt have elect
ed him their 10th member, suc
ceeding George P. Whitman Jr.,
who recently resigned.
WHAT THEY WANT I learn
from a high authority who knows
what she is talking about, that
when the science minded Russians
came over to look at American ed
ucation, what they most coveted
was our program of homemaking
education in the high schools. Sur
prise you?
SEEING DOUBLE We re
cently had two State Superinten
dents of Schools here in the State
Department of Education. Dr.
Claude Purcell, our boss, was host
on his television program and in
his office to youthful State Super
intendent of Schools (fora-day)
Dennis Hand Jr., of Columbus. It
was part of the learn-ahout-your
government project of the Youth
Assembly, sponsored annually
here by the YMCA. Dr. Pucell's
comment: “A nice fellow! He ask
ed intelligent questions about our
job."
PREACHER AT THE BAN
QUET —Pierce Harris, who writes
a column in the Atlanta Journal
and preaches at the First Metho-
) dist Church downtown in Atlanta,
- will be the speaker at the glitter- j
ing annual banquet which is the
highlight each spring of the state i
J convention of Georgia’s Future
Homemakers. The state’s 24,000
Future Homemakers send about a
thousand delegates to Atlanta to
their annual convention, which
will be April 30 May 2 this year.
PROBLEM Teacher asked a
little boy, “If your mother gave
you a big apple and a little apple,
which one would you give to your
brother?” Child answered, "Do you
mean my big brother or my little
brother?”
NEWSPAPER FOLKS I al
ways liked this paragraph, from
Max Miller’s book I COVER THE
WATERFRONT; “Newspaper peo
ple! Their tired bright eyes are
surprised at nothing, awed by no
‘ body. They are people of a terrible
‘ wisdom and a beautiful tolerance,
3 people who love laughter, knowing
' the tears of the world.”
r
1 A ROSE BY ANY OTHER
1 NAME That hot potato known
- as “merit pay” which can cause
f coolness between the best of
1 friends was recommended b y
America’s Association of School
- Administrators at their recent con
, vention. But there’s a catch. They
did not CALL it merit pay. Os
course, you know that merit pay
i means paying better, more crea
> live teachers more than those who
• go on in the same old tired teach
> ing ruts year after year. The ad
ministrators urged the nation’s
1 school boards to pay “teachers and
I other personnel salaries commen
surate with their responsibilities.”
If that’s not merit pay, I’m a mon
key’s grandma, as the children
say.
i i
I’D HATE TO HAVE THEIR i
JOB The STAR program that
wonderful plan to recognize aca
demic achievement, sponsored by |
the State Chamber of Commerce—
gives a student a job I marvel at. ,
On April 24, the state’s 16 most ;
( brilliant students will be honored ;
. I and each of them will pick the i
, teacher who did the most to help
them become outstanding. If you
. were a student, could you pick '
that ONE teacher? The students
—one from each Congressional dis- ,
trict and five from the state-at
. large—will get a tour of Georgia’s i
historic spots, and the red carpet
treatment from one and all. But
what I want to know is how are
they going to face that fine teach- 1
er they DIDN’T choose.
TAKE A LOOK AT THIS! Dr.
Allen Smith, who keeps our re
cords and figures our money that
we send to you, tells me that there
are 57,570 more Georgia children
in Average Daily Attendance than
there were this time last year.
“Why?" I asked him. “Good wea
ther and no epidemics,” he said.
Georgia schools have earned 1216
more teachers than they were due
when school opened in the fall:
771 white teachers and 445 Negro
teachers. This is in addition to the
452 “plus adjustment” teachers
granted on recommendation of
our area supervisors last fall.
When we get back the report of
your superintendent, and the other
superintendents who are due these '
extra funds, we will send you a J
check for the teacher’s salary from (
the date you hired her, plus $438
per teacher for what we call Main- i
tenance and Operation Money.” i
It's really S3BB per teacher, plus
the SSO sick leave.
BIG MONEY TO BIG CITIES !
Most of the two or three million
dollars being sent out this spring
for extra teachers and school op- ;
eration (what we call “Mid-term
adjustments”) will go to eight or
nine of the biggest school systems.
That’s where the extra children
are. But dozens of the smaller
schools will get a teacher or two
or three each, too. The money
goes whore the children are.
