It's Red Cross time again.
Time to contribute to help sup¬
port an orgonization which
works in your community, all
over your country and w'ith the
Red Cross of other nations to
serve humanity.
The American National Red
Cross was incorporated by an
Act of Congress in 1881 with
obligations, 1. To furnish vo¬
lunteer aid to the sick and
wounded on armies in time of
war. 4. To act In matters of vol¬
untary relief and in accord with
the military and naval author¬
ities as a medium of communi¬
cation between the people of
the U. S. and their Army and
Navy... 5. To continue to carry
on a system of national and in¬
ternational relief In time of
peace .. and to devise and carry
on measures for preventing the
same.
To accomplish these ends
takes money and once a year the
Red Cross calls on the people for
funds. Part of what we raise
here in Dade stays here. There
are no paid workers In Dade
county and all of the money is
used to continue to give service
to servicemen, their families and
to veterans, and for supplies for
the Home Nursing Courses which
are now being carried on In the
county. Part goes to be used
nationally and is used to give
immediate aid in a community
disaster; to help in the work at
the veterans hospitals; to con¬
tinue to give service to the boys
still in the army and navy; for
nutrition, nursing and safety
services; to the Red Cross blood
program; and to the Junior Red
Cross program. Internationally,
the Red Cross represents one of
the few organizations which can
cross the frontiers of the world
without suspicion and which in
time of peace is devoted to
mercy and relief.
Your contribution to the Red
Cross will allow you to help your
neighbor b th at home and
abroad.

THE SCHOOLS
OF
DADE COUNTY
This is the first of a series of
weekly articles to be written by
the teachers in the County so
that the people may become bet¬
ter acquainted with the progress
of their schools. No task in any
community is more important
than that of educating its youth.
The people of a comunity rightly
expect the teachers to provide
proper training for their chil¬
dren; and the teachers, in turn,
need the support, the encour¬
agement, and the advice of the
people.
One of the most important pro
blems of the Dade Schools now
is the change from an eleven
grade system, under which we
have operated for several years,
to one made up of twelve grades.
The General Assembly of Geor¬
gia, in its session of 1947, passed
legislation permiting the ex¬
penditure of public-school funds
for the support of twelve years
of education. Since that time
schools in all sections of the
state have started the change to
the twelve-year program.
Due to the nature of the le¬
gislation the State Board of Edu¬
cation, at its meeting on April
3, 1947, established certain poli¬
cies that would apply to the
change to the twelve grade sys-
| tem. The Board ruled that a
school system such as that in
; Dade must:
1. Make the change a gradual
one; undergoing a transition
period of not less than four
years.
2. Plan its program, grades
one through twelve, cooperat¬
ively, with all people concerned
having an opportunity to share
in the planning.
3. Submit its plan in writing
to the State Department of Edu¬
cation six months before finan¬
cial aid is needed.
4. Establish a plan of evaluat¬
ing its schools and submit this
plan in writing to the State De¬
partment of Education.
Because these policies have
been adopted by the State Board
of Education no school system
in Georgia can expect a “cut
and dried” twelve-year program
to be handed to it by the State
Department of Education. •The
State Department will furnish
consultants and advisors, but
each school system in the state
is expected to work out its own
program.
Progress has been made in
Dade County. The change, or
transition period, to the twelve-
year program began in Septem¬
ber, 1948. Last Fall the teachers
of the County met and became
organized for the purpose of
making plans for the new pro¬
gram. Monthly meetings are now
being held. The next meeting is
scheduled for March 13, at 7:00
P. M. at the Dade County High
School. A representative of the
State Department of Education
is expected at this meeting.
The citizens of the county are
urged to attend these monthly
meetings. They provide a won¬
derful opportunity for the peo¬
ple and the teachers to work to¬
gether toward an improved
school system.
We are glad to report the little
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Shorty
Stephens who has been in the
Childrens Hospital for about 2
weeks is able to come home.
Miss Willie and Birdie John¬
son of Hapeville, Ga., spent a few
