Governor Arnall
Assures Teachers
Os Pay Increase
ATLANTA, April 17 (GPS).—Gov.
Ellis 'Arnall again has demonstrat
ed to the people of Georgia that
he is the best friend of education
ever to serve as chief executive of
the state.
In his latest act in the interest
of education, the governor assured
the school teachers in Georgia that
they will receive a 50 per cent in
crease in salaries for the last four
months of his administration.
Speaking before the school teach
ers of Atlanta the other day, Gov
ernor Arnall said that he has in
structed the state auditor to set
aside one half of the increase in
state revenues for April, May and
June to provide more money for
teachers. This increase has been
averaging more than $2,000,000 per
month, hence the increase for three
months would amount to $3,000,000.
Introduced by Miss Ira Jarrell,
superintendent of the Atlanta city
schools, as “the best friend of ed
ucation ever to be governor of Geor
gia,” Governor Arnall declared that
the $2 per teacher that has been
collected by the Georgia Education
Association to bring pressure for a
salary increase ought to be refund
ed to the teachers, “since it will not
be needed now.” Here, in part, is
what he told the teachers:
“The only chance of accumulating
money for additional aid to schools
will be from additional income
which Commissioner of Revenue M.
E. Thompson tells me we will have
for this quarter. I know that Com
missioner Thompson, a school man
himself, will do everything possible
to bring in this additional money.
“I am anxious to help the teach
ers of Georgia and to provide bet
ter educational opportunities for
our children. I favor a 50 per cent
raise in teachers’ salaries as quick
ly as funds will permit. The increase
should be more. A million and a
half dollars is required for teachers’
salaries each month. An additional
$3,000,000 will be necessary for the
months of September, October, No
vember and December if we are to
provide 50 per cent more for teach-
I ers,”
Explaining to the teachers that
he had requested State Auditor B.
E. Thrasher, Jr., to set aside in a
reserve fund half of the actual in
crease in tax collections by the rev
enue department for the months of
April, May and June, the fund to be
held in reserve for allotment to the
state board of education in Sep
tember. October, November and De
cember, he said:
“This increase will be turned over
to the schools in the form of a bo
nus, or a 50 per cent increase in
salaries. I believe it improper for
my administration in its closing
days to put an extra burden on the
next administration unless that ad
ministration is willing to assume
the burden. If each candidate for
governor agrees to carry on the in
creased salary schedule, then the
additional fund will be used to in
stitute a permanent salary scale in
crease of 50 per cent to the teach
ers.”
Governor Arnall pointed out that
state aid to the common schools
has been increased 125.8 per cent
during his administration.

Year-Round Plan
Os Recreation
Slated for Summer
Recreation needs of the youth of
Summerville will receive immediate
attention, according to C. B. Akin,
of the local schools, when a com
mittee of local citizens start work
on planning a program in a series
of conferences April 19-20. Mr. Akin
has announced that the services of
Dr. J. W. Reynolds, professor of ed
ucation at the University of Geor
gia, have been secured to assist in
the planning and carrying out of
this program.
Opportunity for securing the ser
vices of Dr. Reynolds came with the
initiation of a program by the Uni
versity of Georgia and the state
department of education. Only six
centers were selected in Georgia
with which Dr. Reynolds will work,
and Summerville is one of those se
lected.
Many youths and adults in Sum
merville have long felt the need for
an increase of recreational facili
ties, and the intent of this program
is to make provision to satisfy these
needs. A four-part program is con
templated: (1) Sports and games,
(2) special interest groups such as
arts and crafts, music, dramatics,
hobby clubs and others, (3) social
activities and (4) home recreation
al activities.
Lyman Howard and Miss Jewel
Pool, of the local schools, attended
a conference in Atlanta April 3 at
which meeting representatives of
all six of the selected schools were
present. At this conference it was
decided to develop the program as
one extending through the whole
school year. The activities included
will be provided during out-of
school hours on school days as well
as week-ends and longer vacation
periods, especially the summer. The
program will be started in Summer
ville during the coming summer.
The program as planned will be
conducted in such away as to of
fer opportunities for leisure-time
activities in addition to those al
ready provided. Since the program
will be planned for Summerville
especially, it will take into consid
eration existing programs and at
tempt to round out an over-all
group of activities for all elemen
tary, high school and out-of-school
youth in this community.
At the planning conference to be
held April 19 and 20, representatives
of youth and adults alike will work
out the program for Summerville
and decide on means by which this
program can be put into operation.
Methods for selecting the represen
tatives as well as exact meeting
times for the conferences will be
announced later.
The local planning committee will
consider the needs for such a pro
gram in Summerville, and plan a
program to fit these needs. The
program thus developed will be a
recreational program and construct
ed in such away as to make the
fullest use of facilities already ex
isting. With the gradual expansion
of this program, additional facili
ties will be recommended.
While the program to be devel
oped places the primary emphasis
on providing for the youth, the
needs for recreational facilities for
adults will receive attention if there
is sufficient interest demonstrated.
