PTA Meeting
At the Cleveland PTA mee'iog March
12 a studv committee led a panel discus
sion on the organization of the Primary
Grades. Ooe, Two and Three, into s
‘Primary Block.”
Moderator Mi9e Evelyn Hulsey began
the discussion by stating that many peo
p’e felt the need for improvement of in
struction in all the Elementary <?rad,-e
Any change of organization would have
to start in the first grade. For that reason
the idea of a unified primary grade arn«e
and a special study has been made of it.
Mr. Patrick presented the problem by
illustrating the number of retardations
and dropouts in upper gradi-s caused bv
disinterest due to lack of achievement of
basic skills.
Miss Henry EttaAllison gave examples
of the wide range of achievement in the
3rd, 5th, and "Kb grades as revealed
through standarized achievement tests.
Mrs, Teresa New discussed what a test
could be expected to reveal Rnd the valid
ity of the test.
Miss Clara Hnlsey discussed some of
tile results that could be expected of such
a program if it were put into effect
Mrs, R W. Sistrunk felt that from a
parent's viewpoint ih»t she would like
the idea of such a program because it
seemed beet for the children.
Essentially the difference between the
“Primary Block” and the traditional
grades 1, 2. if, is organizational. It is
designed to allow children to progress at
their owu rates without cither being push¬
ed beyond their powers or held hack to a
lower level of accomplishment. It incor
porates the advantaged the old”Primer"
grade- It also makes possible a greatly
enriched program gt all levels A very

in less than three years. Many will take

GEORGIANS MUST WAGE WAR
AGAINST STREAM POLLUTION
Georgians today are standing at the
crossroads in their fight against pollu¬
tion. Their clear thinking will carry a
tremendous amount of weight when
the time comes to introduce new legis¬
lation to clean up our streams. Most
clear-minded citizens feel that some¬
thing should be done about pollution.
The cleaning up of rivers and the
a constant threat to public health and
wi'.dlife.
Last year alone, 28 major fish kills,
resulting from pollution of one type or
another, claimed an estimated 100,000
pounds of fish. This polluted condition
ran over 196 miles of Georgia streams
and rivers.
Federal laws providing aid to cities
and towns to build modem sewage
disposal plants are there fo*- the ask¬
ing. Federal aid provides up to 30
per cent of the cost, a minimum of
$25,000 to any one municipality.
This aid, an outright gift from the
government to municipalities striving
many Georgia streams from pollution,
During the past several years, some
industries have realized that they, too,
must shoulder their share of the pol
lution burden. Some of them have con
structed waste-treatment plants

industries, Despite the efforts of well-meaning
those which have not treat¬
ed their raw waste but dumped it into
streams instead have been a major
cause of pollution.
Several cases of industrial pollu¬
tion have aroused solid citizens into
action. In these cases, a waste-treat¬
ment plant probably would have
erased any pollution problems.
It is the duty of every Georgia
citizen . to see that our streams are
cleaned up. They must exercise their j
rights as Americans to fight for legis- j
lation against the dumping of untreat -1
ed municipal and industrial wastes in
to our waterways 1

“The Typical
Country Editor”
The American Press, which is
a magazine of home town news¬
papers, recently sought an ans¬
wer to this question: “What man¬
ner of man is the typical country
editor.”
Naturally, there are tremendous
women who edit the grass-roots
press. But, American Press finds,
certain things can be said. In its
words: “In general, their roots
are firmly imbedded in the Ameri¬
ca of the past era—an America
which thrived on such words as
self-reliande and independence,
and they stubbornly resist all
movements wherein social groups
might be benefited but at the ex¬
pense of the individual's freedom.
