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. Star Route News Mrs. Eliza Michaels is ill at her home. Mrs. H. J. Barton is recuper¬ ating. H. J.

Member Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Member Federal Reserve System 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 days with their brother, Griff recently.
