I START WITH LIVE WIG
GLERS: A wise man says: “Too
many curriculum committees
(spend too much time on policies
and objectives. The place to start
is with real, live wiggling children.
Round up materials of instruction,
keep working with children, get
experience then work toward
aims and objectives.”
SURPRISE YOU? Did you know
that of the 45,678 students in the
9th grade in Georgia last year,
71 per cent of them took first year
algebra?
THERE ARE TWO KINDS; Dr.
Owen Kiernan, state superinten
dent of schools for Massachusetts,
talked to Georgia educators recent
ly on, “What’s Right With Our
Schools?” He said that the modern
critics of the schools are divided
into two classes (1) the conserva
tives who suggest a return to the
good old days, and (2) the space
cadets who demand that we arrive
in the 25th century overnight.
TV IN GEORGIA: There are
now about twenty-five thousand
school children in Georgia who are
getting two or more lessons per
week through television, I am told
by Mary Grubbs, who is our tele-

vision co-ordinator here in the
State Department of Education.
This includes WETV in the Atlan
ta system, WLW-A in Atlanta, and
two Columbus stations. Seven hun
dred children at Conley Hills
school in East Point (our pilot
project) get lessons on closed cir
cuit TV. The others are open cir
cuit broadcasts.
HOW ABOUT YOUR BOARD?
Georgia has 198 school districts,
each with a local school board.
Most have 5 members. There are
52,000 boards of education in
America with 215,000 board mem
bers. 9 out of 10 are men. 6 out of
10 have children or grandchildren
in school. Average income is
$4,000. Average age is 48V£. 7 out
of 10 have finished high school.
1 out of 3 is a college graduate.
GOOD NEWS FOR LATIN TEA
CHERS: The State Board of Edu
cation has reversed its ruling
about Latin teachers going to sum
mer school. New regulation is that
Latin teachers WILL BE INCLUD
ED in the S3OO grants to study at
colleges this summer. Language
teachers, math teachers and
science teachers are, also, in the
S3OO grant group.
HERE’S THE WAY IT IS: This
is the way we allot money to buy
books for your libraries: $lB per
state-allotted teacher. The money
used by your regional libraries is
disbursed by a local library com
mittee. The school library funds
(of which your system must pay a
third, as matching money) are
disbursed by the school authori
ties, usually on suggestions from
the teachers. New books going on
approved lists for the school libra
ries must now be reviewed by the
new state library committee, nam
ed by the State Board of Educa
tion. These are: Mrs. Robert Cor
mack, Swainsboro; Mrs. Mable
Hogue, Albany; Miss Cornelia
Lowe, Columbus; Mr. Harry
Brown, Mnachester; Mrs. Chris
tine Burroughs, Atlanta; Mrs. Ro
bert Brinson, Wrightsville; Miss
Sara Hightower, Cedartown; Mr.
Ralph Hood, Brunswick; Miss Dai
sy Hayes, Toccoa; Mrs. Lillie Ta
bor, Athens.
THE BENEFITS: Maid was very
sloppy, and her employer was fus
sing. The lady ran her finger over
a piano that had not been dusted.
“Look, Mary,” she said to the
maid, “I can write my name in the
dust on that piano. What do you
have to say to that?” Mary answer
ed, “It just go to show you what
education can do for a body.”
THOSE FOUR WOMEN: Gladys
Darling, a tiny, silver-haired school
principal from Waycross, was elec
ted to head Georgia’s 23,140 tea
chers who are members of the
Georgia Education Association.
She is the fourth Georgia woman
to head this powerful group in the
92 years of its existence. The oth
ers were Miss Katherine Dozier,
whom I did not know, Miss Allie
Mann of Atlanta, now president of
the Retired Teachers Association,
and Mrs. S. C. Patterson of Homer
ville, a former Clinch county
school superintendent who is now
here with us in the State Depart
ment of Education as director of
teacher recruitment.
HERE’S HOW EDUCATION
PAYS: Brazil has more natural
resources than the U. S. but be
cause they have not educated their
people to use them, their per capi
ta income is just $230. Ours is
SIB7O. Denmark and Mexico illus
trate the same thing. Denmark has
poor soil, few resources, but good
education. Their per capita income
is three times that of Mexico,
which has far better resources,
better climate, and more area. Ed
ucation makes the difference.
ONLY YESTERDAY; I was talk
ing the other day with Allen
Smith, our director of finance and
administration here in the Depart
ment of Education. He said, “Geor
gia schools are in the best shape
they have ever been in, financially
and otherwise. When I was in
Brooks county, in the thirties, at
Dixie Elementary teachers got
$12.50 a week, and high school
teachers sl6 a week. In the Quit
man city system, when I moved
there—and it was one of the real
ly good school systems in Georgia,
too!—teachers got SIOB a month.
The superintendent got $2400 a
year. Now we pay the principal of
a twenty-five teacher school a
BASE state salary of six thousand
and 50 dollars, in addition to the
supplement he gets locally.”
SMALL GIFT FOR REMEM
BRANCE: Do you have a Visiting
Teacher in your schools? She and
the other 165 “V. T.’s” in Georgia
gave a small, sweet gift of remem
brance the other day. It was a
walnut gavel and wood block,
which they put in the conference
room of the handsome new Geor
gia Education Association Build
ing here. On it was a silver band
that said, “Honoring the service of
J. Harold Saxon.” Mr. Saxon, as
you know, was the dynamic educa
tor who gave many years of his
life to his work as executive secre
tary of the GEA, and who died a

few years ago, after months of
illness. There are thousands who
remember him.
ARE YOUR CHILDREN BOR
ED? You can tell whether a school
is doing good work by how many
of its students are bored to death.
Schopenhauer said, “The two great
enemies of mankind are pain and
boredom”. I believe youngsters
had rather be worked to death in
school than bored to death. If the
teachers are not inspiring, if they
have no challenges to hold out,
and if the curriculum does not
make sense, the student never
really comes to life. You can
walk into a school and tell by the
quality of alertness in the air whe
ther the principal is giving real
leadership and whether the teach
ers have energy and intellectual
resources. You can also tell by the
students’ manners whether you
parents are lying down on YOUR
job, too.
