As part of a three-county
multisystem coordinated by
Susan Hackney, Chattooga
County has received
statewide attention for its suc

local program is unique
because it does not have a

Floyd counties, Chattooga
County is not able to financial

Ithough some adults may
think they are too old to learn,
Miss Thomas has found that
the older students learn more
readily than the younger ones,
“One of the hxhnt scores
ever made in this smgnm
was by a 72-yearold man,"”
she said. "It’s easier to learn
when you are older because
ly;ou have more experience to

students in the program are
those who wish to help their
children in schol or upgrade
job skills. A number of
students have attended over
the years because they
wanted to be able to read the
Bible.
Miss Thomas lleess the
class schedule and the
material relevant to her stu

we learn 10 new vocabulary
words which often come from
current news stories. History
and geography are also tied in
