Board of Education
States ‘Philosophy’
(Editor’s Note: At its
November meeting, the Chat
tooga County Board of Educa
tion adopted a statement of
philosophy and purpose. As a
matter of public interest, that
statement is printed below.)
“We, the Chattooga County
Board of Education, assume
the responsibility of providing
an educational program of high
quality that meets the needs of
Chattooga County. Our actions
and deliberations are founded
on a basic philosophy as set
forth in the following state
ment of purposes.
“Education first deals with
the needs and interests of the
learner or individual having
concern for his home, family,
and community life, as well as
civic, social, and economic
demands. It is the function of
the schools to help every in
dividual to find and use the
key that will unlock the door
to subjects that will prepare
him for life.
“Chattooga County schools
have a two-fold responsibility:
County Line
Tavern
J. C. (Jimmy) Atkins
Owner
Conveniently located on N.
Summerville Rd. (Hwy. 27) in
Rome, phone 235-9376, is the
County Line Tavern, one of
the most popular tavern and
carry-outs in this area. Here
they feature a 32 seat hall for
couples to enjoy good music
from their jukebox. They are
open from 8:00-2:00 nightly.
One of the reasons this
tavern is so widely patronized,
is the fact that when people
shop here for their favorite
party beverages, and mixers,
they can be sure of getting the
brand they like, and they will
be served efficiently and in a
friendly manner.
They have their tavern com
pletely stocked with all types
of case beer, soft drinks, and
Bar-B-Que available.
The narrators of this 1972
Town and Country Review
suggest to our readers that they
make it a point to shop at the
County Line Tavern for party
beverage supply.

to contribute to the growth
and development of individuals
and to improve and strengthen
our democratic society.
“The purposes of our
schools express the hopes and
aspirations of all those who are
concerned about or who are
responsible for-our edu
cational program. We feel
strongly about these state
ments because we believe they
are based on fundamental
truths which must be sustained
if our country is to survive.
“We believe that the follow
ing values are vital as criteria
for assessing present practices
and as guides to future im
provement of our common
schools:
Respect for the worth and
dignity of every individual.
Equality of opportunity
for all children.
-Encouragement of vari
ability.
Faith in man’s ability to
make rational decisions.
Shared responsibility for
the common good.
-Insure both pupil and
society benefits of valuable
learnings toward a goal.
-Curriculum should be a
continuing process to which
many people make contri
butions.
-Respect for moral and
spiritual values and ethical
standards of conduct.
“We believe that each
school is a social institution
and ... an integral part of the
community.
“Be believe that we should
recognize the individual as a
growing organism, and should
recognize both the differences
and the likenesses of each in
dividual, and of the group.
“We believe that all persons
physically and mentally able
should continue until max
imum potentialities of their
education have been reached.
“We believe that we should
offer desirable experiences
through which each one will
have the opportunity to
achieve physical, intellectual,
emotional, and spiritual sta
bility.
“We believe that our schools
should help each individual to
develop respect for dignity and
worth of people regardless of
socio-economic status, religion,
(or) nationality and (to de
velop) an interest in-and a
desire for-the welfare of all
mankind.
“We believe that Chattooga
County schools should be
organized, administered, and
conducted in a democratic
manner so that those trained in
the schools will learn to live
together democratically, and
(will learn to) practice good
citizenship.
“We believe that Chattooga
County schools should provide
instruction not only in normal
growth and development but
also in vocational education
opportunities to meet the
needs and abilities of all
students.
“We believe that the schools
should give instruction in the
desirable use of-and con-
DOT Urges
Motorists to
Use 1-285
Signs were erected Monday
on Interstate 285, north of
Atlanta, to induce motorists
heading to Florida and other
points south to use the
perimeter belt and avoid in
ternal traffic congestion.
Archie Burnham, Depart
ment of Transportation traffic
and safety engineer, said the
signs will designate 1-285 as a
swift by-pass to Florida and,
hopefully, keep direct south
bound motorists out of peak
hours traffic on 1-75 and 1-85,
in and near downtown and on
the connectors.
Further, Burnham said some
modifications may have to be
made at the exit from 1-75
south onto State Route (SR)
85 if the traffic flow becomes
hazardous at that point. How
ever, he pointed out that his
department will monitor the
traffic flow closely at that
juncture and will not effect a
closing of the exit unless abso
lutely necessary.
He added that should the
closing come, it would be for
southbound traffic only.
“Many motorists,” Burn
ham said, “especially those
hurrying through a Thanks
giving, Christmas or peak-vaca
tion schedule, do not realize
that 1-285 is a good by-pass
around Atlanta and often wind
up wedged into the heavy
traffic downtown and on the
connectors.
“We not only want drivers
to avoid the congestion for
their own safety and expedi
ence, but to keep our local
motorists moving safely and
surely as well.”
Burnham said that his de
partment feels the signs will
remind motorists of the better
1-285 route around Atlanta
early enough so they can
I change their planned routes in
I time.
