Education Under Attack,
Nix Tells School Group
Public education is under
attack as never before in this
country’s history. Jack P. Nix,
Georgia superintendent of
schools, told a convention of
the Georgia School Boards As
sociation held in Atlanta last
week.
The convention’s 500 par
ticipants, representing the 1 88
school boards across the state,
listened as Nix said the current
criticism of public education
was sometimes justified, but
more often was not. He further
noted that, because of its sensi
tive and important position in
a democratic society, public
education is always an easy
target for those seeking a root
cause for society’s ills.
Three representatives of the
Chattooga County school
system attended the conven
tion-Ray Hall, a member of
the Chattooga County Board
of Education; Sue Spivey,
member-elect; and Bill King,
county school superintendent.
“Schools are expected not
only to educate the citizens,
but to bring about racial under
standing, eliminate poverty by
making it possible for everyone
to earn a decent living, solve
unemployment and break
down age-old housing patterns
. . . (But) while the critics have
been assaulting the system, the
system has been steadily mov
ing along, occasionally produc
ing a minor miracle such as an
individually designed program
of education for every child in
CONFUSION IN
(Continued From Page 1)
County on Dec. 31.
“If there is a state of con
fusion in phasing out the
court,” the veteran state legis
lator added, “it looks to me
like its being intentionally
done by three or four lawyers
to create mass confusion by
making the action of the voters
in doing away with the court
look bad.”
He said Floyd County is in
the process of phasing out its
state court,” court, “and I
haven’t heard of any mass con
fusion down there. And there
shouldn’t be any in this coun
ty.”
Floyd said he believed “we
have capable people in the
Lookout Mountain Judicial
Circuit who can properly
handle” the court’s transition,
and its future operation.”
“The people of Chattooga
County have spoken," Floyd
emphasized. “They abolished
the court, I didn’t. If the judge
and solicitor don’t want to
carry out their responsibilities,
then they will have to answer
to the people.”
AGREEMENT ON
(Continued From Page 1)
to “forget about the request.”
The motion passed, with W M.
Jackson, Ray Hall, and Roy
Camp voting for the motion,
and A. D Pledger abstaining.
Cook said later in the meet
ing that the reason the board
has held moremeetings this
year is due to the resignation
of two superintendents and
one board member. He said
this necessitated calling extra
meetings.
A delegation of lunchroom
workers, with Mrs. Louise
Rounsaville as their spokes
man, asked why they could not
get i bonus, like the teachers
and bus drivers get.
The group was told that the
hoard doesn’t have the money
at the present, but the request
would be taken into considera
tion when the new budget is
drawn up.
The school superintendent’s
office will close from Dec. 21
to Dec. 27, continuing on a
half-day schedule the rest of
that week The office will re
open on a full schedule on Jan
2.
POST OFFICE*

mended mailing dates to insure
delivery in time for Christmas.
The last of these suggested
mailing dates are: Dec. 15 the
last day for mailing surface
greeting cards within the
United States, and Dec,
21 the final date for posting
domestic airmail greetings
within the 48 "mainland”
states. The latest suggested
date for airmail to Alaska and
Hawaii is Dec. 20.
“In extending our commit
ment to make every possible
effort to deliver all holiday
mail on time even though
some suggested deadlines are
now past we hope the general
public will respond according
ly,” the postmaster said.
Bacon County, more often
achieving a smaller step such as
helping a poor child catch up
to his reading level," Nix said.
He referred to a recent opin
ion poll which shows a loss of
confidence in public education
by a large segment of the
national population, but added
that the same poll showed simi
lar losses for state, local and
national governments, as well
as the news media. Nix coun
tered this with statistics that
showed 75 percent of today’s
high school students graduate,
as opposed to only 38 percent
30 years ago. And almost three
times as many of today’s
young adults have college de
grees as 30 years ago.
Nix then cited two major
problems facing Georgia public
education today. The first had
to do with busing.
“It is time for the federal
courts to take a stand, to state
clearly . . . what constitutes an
integrated school system and
when a satisfactory degree of
integration has been achieved
. . Two years ago 1 stated . .
the best way to solve the prob
lem is by an amendment to the
U. S. Constitution that would
prohibit the busing of children
for purposes of integration. I
still believe we should use this
approach . . . (and establish) a
pattern of neighborhood
schools as the most desirable,
effective and efficient way to
educate ... (young) people,”
said Nix.
The second problem related
to state funding for public edu
cation. In the past, Nix said,
local school boards have not
had the authority to spend
funds as they thought would
be best.
“This year,” Nix explained,
“a major effort will be made to
increase flexibility for local
school boards by asking the
legislature to give the state
board . . . authority to spend
funds .. . according to plans
submitted by local boards . . .
The local plan would include a
statement of educational goals
for the local school system and
how they would be met . . .”
Sue Spivey, who will be
come a member of the Chat
tooga County Board of Educa
tion in January, gives her views
of the meeting:
“The 21 st annual Georgia
School Boards convention
proved to be a most interesting
one to me. I appreciated the
opportunity to attend this con
vention as the activities of
school boards are new to me
and I have much to learn.
There were over 200 members
attending and they were a most
congenial group.
Among our speakers was
Herman Talmadge, Georgia’s
senior senator He spoke of the
work done and the work to be
done by local school boards.
Daily attendance was listed
as a need to be worked on. It
costs the state of Georgia
$3.42 per day student to
operate the schools. The daily
absentee rate is approximately
60,000 per day. This, as you
can see, is an expensive loss
when the children are not at
school.
At our banquet we had a
long line of protestors to
school busing for integration
The signs ail requested the
senator to vote against busing.
One of the gentlemen at our
table commented, "Half the
people want us to stop busing
and the other half want us to
stop the bus in front of their
house.”
Thursday morning’s speaker
was particularly enjoyable Dr
Merlin Duncan, director of the
SRSBA Research and Training
Center, Inc., spoke very forth
rightly, emphasizing the need
ot putting responsible people

in responsible positions. He
also truthfully pointed out that
anything worthwhile takes
work. In short, if a local school
board wants responsibility, it
must stand up and take the
responsibility! Otherwise,
federal and state boards will
dictate completely to the local
level. We must instill interest
and motivate learning at all
levels in our educational sys
tem.
The exhibitors at the con
vention were most cordial.
Many of them had been to
Chattooga County and knew
the teachersand administrators
here. It is always nice to hear
praises of your community,
and I lavished in the many that
I heard. I was able to meet and
speak with many of the board
members from other counties.
They were a very interesting
and interested group. Some of
their ideas were most stimula
ting and they expressed gen
uine interest in the things that
we are doing in Chattooga
County, particularly our voca

MERCHANTS REPORT
(Continued From Page 1)
Sales of clothing is good,
according to one report. Sales
ladies said that party wear for
women, especially floor-length
dresses are “going good,” indi
cating that parties this Yule
season will be both plentiful
and festive.
“People are shopping early,
buying in large quantities, and
we are very pleased,” one store
owner reported. Her store
offers everything from festive
Santa mugs for 33 cents each
to the latest appliances. “Sales
are up for the year,” she
added.
REAL’ TREES
Chattoogans are buying
great quantities of Christmas
decorations, wrapping paper,
and Christmas trees, both live
and artificial. But there seems
to be a definite trend back to
“real” trees.
Furniture and appliances are
selling well; jewelry is a
favorite item for many
shoppers.
Generally, local stores are
brighter and more attractively
decorated than ever. Many
have undergone remodeling
and there are several new and
attractive stores for local shop
ping.
From all indications, local
merchants are well pleased this
Christmas shopping season in
1972.
If you get rid of envy you
will be surprised to see how
many nice people there are in
your community.
