The advantages of private schools
By ANISSA CLEMONS
Staff Writer
Dr. Mike Drake, headmaster at
Westfield School, spoke to local
Rotarians Monday on the “role of
independent education in America in
the 19905.”
Drake said, “Perry is fortunate to
offer two strengths in public and
independent schools.”
He said independent schools have
four positive assets to offer. “The
first positive thing is the smaller
classes.”
Drake said independent schools
average 10 students to every teacher
while public schools average 17
students to every teacher. At
Westfield the ratio is 11 to one. He
said the smaller classes “allow
experience and personal attention.”
He said the smaller classes not
only allow teachers to help remedial
The evolution of agricultural education
‘By ANISSA CLEMONS
Staff Writer
Dr. William P. Flatt, dean of the
College of Agriculture and Envi
ronmental Science at the University
of Georgia, kept local Kiwanians
laughing Tuesday as he spoke on
farming during the Kiwanis Farm
City Week.
How' to tell a Georgia Tech
graduate from a University of Geor
gia graduate was only one of Flatt’s
jokes he popped in between facts
about farming.
“We should be thankful for the
farmers in Georgia and in the na
tion,” he said. “One of the reasons
we’re so blessed is because of our
heritage and the leaders in die past.”
He said the farming industry’s
success is due to investments made

students, but they also allow teach
ers to challenge exceptionally
bright sludcnLs. Drake said indepen
dent schools can control their size
while public schools couldn’t.
The second positive aspect of in
dependent schools, according to
Drake, is they offer more opportu
nity for improvement. “We offer a
chance for every child in high
school to participate in clubs. We
get more student involvement in
progress.”
He said independent schools offer
a clearer focus. “We arc able to de
termine what we want to stress.”
As the fourth positive attribute
of independent schools, Drake said
they have “very good college
prepatory and counseling, far better
than public schools.”
He said a lot of times in public
in the past century in education. He
said agricultural education started in
1862 when agriculture colleges
were implemented in land grant in
stitutions. Agricultural education
was extended when the Hatch Act
established agricultural science ex
periment stations at land grant uni
versities.
Flatt said the Smith Lever Act
of 1914 establishes county exten
sion services, which also added to
agricultural education.
Georgia has 48,000 farms ac
cording to Flatt. He said 538.6 bil
lion is produced by agriculture
yearly, which is 21 percent of the
total economic output. Agriculture
also employs 17 percent of Geor
gians.
schools guidance counselors have to
deal with personal problems instead
of preparation for college entrance.
Since Perry has Westfield and
Perry High School, according to
Drake, “The community is the real
gainer.”
Drake and his family have been
in Perry for five months. He said,
“I love the community. I think it’s
got an awful lot going for it.”
In other club business:
•Snyder Chapman, local Rotary
member, announced plans for a hol
iday cookout and spouse night to be

•Visitors last week included:
Sandy Dcmster, Joe Smith, Bill

He said, “One reason farmers are

progress and the farmers’ open
mindedness.”
This is the Kiwanians 23 year
celebrating Farm City week.

Army Safehouse, which is for
abused women and children, will

Home Health Care Week recognizes
those who provide quality home care
Governor Zell Miller has declared
the week of November 29 through
December 5, 1992 as "Home Health
Care Week" in recognition of the
many dedicated and competent peo
ple who provide quality care for the
sick, disabled and aged citizens of
Georgia in their own homes.
Georgians have found that home
health care is very effective, less
costly and often more desirable than
institutionalizing people. There arc
approximately 70 licensed home
health agencies in the State of
Georgia. One of these 70 is Three
Rivers Home Health Services, a
provider of quality health care since
1979.
"During this holiday season of
giving thanks, celebrating the joy
of Christmas and the? prospects of a
new year, it is especially appropri
ate to pause and recognize all the
dedicated health professionals who
provide health care services for
those who are confined to their
homes through illness, infirmity or
being elderly." Kaye B. Smith, reg
istered nurse and president, said,
"These people arc our relatives,
friends, neighbors or they may not
be known to us at all. However,
they all have one thing in common,
they are being cared for by commit
ted professionals, in a cost effective
manner in the comfort and security
of their most familiar and favorite
place - their home."
Three Rivers Home Health
Service serves over 600 patients in
