In Higher Education
By Dr. DuPree Jordan, Jr.
33rd in a special series
While a growing number of
conscientious taxpayers are
increasingly concerned about
the building complex of some
colleges and universities in this
country, there are a significent
number of perceptive
educators who feel the day of
• mass crowds and assembly line
education is rapidly coming to
an end. Their thought is that
■in the future direct personal
instruction will be confined
more and more to smaller
groups on smaller campuses,
and the mass instruction of
multiplied thousands will be
dispersed to many different
centers of learning, and even
to the homes or offices of the
individual students.
A recent wire service report
started with the
attention-grabbing statement:
“Hundreds of the nation’s
colleges are turning in their
raccooncoat curriculums for
the independent study and
accelerated degree programs
demanded by today’s
students.”
National Trend
Based upon surveys made
all across the nation, the
, Associated Press reported:
“Rigid requirements for a
bachelor’s degree are
disappearing. New College in
Sarasota, Fla., gives students a
major voice in shaping their
education and graduates are
finding they’re welcome at the
nation’s most prestigious
graduate and professional
schools.
“Calling for ‘important
changes across the spectrum of
undergraduate education’, a
21-member commission of
New York University faculty,
administrators and students
recently recommended:
“*A bachelor’s program
allowing students to routinely
earn degrees in three years and
a decelerated program
permitting others to take time
out for work and travel and
pick up a degree at the end of
six years.
“♦Programs to allow
students to do up to a quarter
of their work through
independent study.
“♦Establishment of a
so-called open college for
alternative approaches to
undergrandate education that
do not fit in with the
university’s existing
schools...”
New Attitudes
William A. McGuirt, a
curriculum specialist at
Georgia State University,
prepared a paper recently on
the topic A Program For A
Non-Residential Degree. He
said: “In a nation beset with
confusion between its school
system and its educational
system (and the resulting
dilemma that possession of a
college degree is considered by
some to be knowledge per se).

North 35 degrees East a dist
ance of 109.3 feet to a stake;
thence North 55 degrees West a
distance of 92.6 feet to the
point of beginning; all as shown
by a plat made by Jim H. Ross,
in September, 1969, a copy of
which is recorded in Plat Book
3, Page 109, in the Office of
the Clerk of the Superior Court
of Wheeler County, Georgia.
TRACT NO. TWO: That tract
of land in the City of Alamo,
Wheeler County, Georgia,
known as Lot No. Nine (9), Lot
No. (10), Lot No. Eleven (11),
Lot No. Twelve (12), and Lot
the time is ripe for the
development of new attitudes
in post-secondary education in
the United States. The
Carnegie Commission on
Higher Education, recognizing
the dilemma, has called for
drastic reforms. The Carnegie
Commission’s report should
raise the question of whether
or not maximum value has
been received for money
expended on current facilites"
for higher education. Money
spent on buildings and lands
which are designed to foster
education largely by means of
classes listening to
highly-salaried lecturers
possibly may not result in the
most efficacious ratio of •
benefit to cost. In a society *
that places emphasis and value
on the possession of a degree,
an alternative to the
‘traditional’ American class
lecture approach should be
offered.”
Dr. McGuirt then de ribes
a number of specific pro, ams,
such as those being developed
by the State University
System of New York, by
Oklahoma University, and by
a growing number of major
institutions across the United
States. He points out the
unique advantages of
individual study for mature
adults who may have full time
employment, family
responsibilities, or other
obligations which interfere
with full time attendance on a
campus, going to college
classes in a traditional pattern.
Mature Approach
He says: “Successful
participation in a program of
external study would appear
to require a certain amount of
maturity, enabling the student
to follow p repared
inst ructions and to complete a
series of assignment* with a
minimum of guidance from
instructors.’’ In this
connection, Dr. McGuirt also
points out the recently
developed hardware which
makes such individual study
much more practical. He says
that the technology of modern
media offers alternatives to
the printed page e.g., cassette
tapes, slides, and Him clips.
Individual previewers and
playback units can be
obtained at a nominal cost.
The studies made here in
Georgia by Dr. McGuirt
parallel those of hundreds of
others throughout the nation
today. The conclusion of most
of these scholars is that the
future of higher education will
probably be changed
drastically with the
acceleration of current
developments.
As we said at the beginning
of this column, there are some
who feel that the future of
mass education is in dispersed
individual instruction, rather
than on crowded, sprawling
campuses. The future of
on-campus personal
instruction of college and
university students may well
become an increasingly
personal matter with small
groups and small institutions.

Senior Citizens
Growing old comes as a shock
to many people who have been
active in religious and com
munity service. When they were
young, they looked upon the
personality traits and the
clianging role of older people
as a sad situation which no one
could possibly desire.
Now they themselves are
caught up in this process of
aging. At first, they experience
a temptation to a total with
drawal from their Christian
activities. They are tempted to
discouragement. Their morale
begins to deteriorate. Actually,
senior citizens can take courage
from many sources. The best
source is Sacred Scripture. An
other source is the developing
field of Adult Education. God’s
grace and His creation of human
skills go hand in land.
Educators are writing a lot
these days about the effects of
learning on the aged and the
effects of aging on learning.
They are finding ait that aging
and learning do proceed to
gether. The brain continues to
develop. The experiences of
the past help illustrate what is
being learned, and help persons
appreciate more the ex
periences of others, and help
make the learning process more
meaningful. Older people can
weigh peaks and depths, joys
and tragedies, and can perceive
in a more comprehensive way
than young people.
Yes, there is some loss of
vision, some loss of hearing,
some loss of speed in reaction
time, but the capacity to leam
will increase, provided we con
tinue to develop new interests,
new ways of doing things. We
can identify goals better and
travel more effectively towards
them. We are able to set more
significant goals than ever be
fore. There is more of a sense
of accomplishment and satis
faction. We are able to widen
our range of interests, and
values, and new areas of living,
through our curiosity and
creativity, through our ability
to communicate and to use lei
sure time profitable. We must
be convinced that we are never
too old to learn; in fact, “life
long" learning helps a person
have a longer life.
Learning in older age is more
important now than several gen
erations ago because of
developments in our culture.
If we want to do a favor for
our elderly friends, we can get
them interested in some of the
many learning experiences
available in our own newly de
veloping communities today.
The governor’s present pro
grams of “Goals for Georgia"
include a significant area for
senior citizens, particularly in
having retired persons use their
time and skills to help solve
social, governmental and com
munity problems. If we can be of
such service to the elderly
now, then we in turn can look
forward to a productive, satis
fying, and creative old-age our
selves. Even the word of God
proclaims, “Honor thy father
and thy mother - such is the
first commandment with a
promise - that it may be well
with thee, and that thou mayest
be long lived upon the earth.”
Ephesus 6:2-3.
God bless you now.

Financial Analyst
Says Ga. Power
Must Have Increase
A financial analyst has told
the Georgia Public Service
Commission that w : hout sub
stantial rate relief, ti e Georgia
Power Company “is steadily
going to weaken."
L. Sanford Reis of New York
said the company “is not going
to fall off a precipice. It’s not
cne of those things. It’s a slow
kind of cancer condition which
goes along from month to month
and year to year and you end
up in a despi soil of situ
ation."
Mr. Reis made his remarks
as hearings continued on a
Georgia Power Company ap
plication for a 15-million in
crease in reta trie rates
Mr. Reis said the . ar
deteriorating financia
diiioi “is attributable solely
to an underpricing of the service
in the light of economic con
ditions which exist, and which
appear to be continuing.

“We are not just talking about
fairness," Mr. Reis said. “We
are talking about stark
necessity and facing a condition
which was almost unimaginable
a few years ago.” He said that
without a rate increase, Georgia
Power would be unable to raise
needed construction funds
through the issuance of bonds
and preferred stock.
“T iroblem here is greater
than mere fairness,”
Mr. her said. “This company'
in a comparatively few years
is faced with the problem of

told the commission that with
out the requested rate increase,
the company could not keep its
construction program on sche
dule. “If we cannot do this,”
he said, “then we cannot assure
the adequacy and dependability'
of service to our customers.”
Mr. Hatch also said that net
income for the first six months
of 1971 fell $6.5 million below
that of the same period of
1970. He noted that this was in
spite of an additional capital
investment during 1970 of some
$247 million.
“This means,” Mr. Hatch
said, “that the company earned
nothing at all on near a quarter
of a billion dollars in additional
capital investment."
The power company chief ex
ecutive pointed out that during
the next decade, the company
will spend some $47 million
on devices to protect the en
vironment. These, he said, in
clude cooling towers to prevent
heated water from being dis
charged into rivers adjacent to
generating plants and electro
static precipitators to trap fly
ash before it can be released
into the atmosphere.
Mr. Hatch also noted that
this equipment does not improve
generating efficiency and does
not produce any revenue.
He said the company is “at
the end of its rope,” having cut
costs at all levels hoping to
avoid a rate increase.
“It would be a great dis
service to Georgia if the state’s
power supply could no longer
meet all of the requirements
-placed upon it,” he said.
Georgia Power officials noted
that the company has raised its
rates only three times since
1933, as compared to 10 rate
decreases. Also, it was pointed
out, Georgia Power residential
customers now pay an average
of 1.65 cents per kilowatt-hour,
21 percent below the national
average.
Even with the proposed in
crease, officials said, Georgia
Power’s price would compare
favorably' with those of most
other Southern States.

to improve the livelihood of
working Americans at all levels
of occupation, U. S. Sen. Her
man E. Talmadge said he be
lieves more can and should be
done in this area.
The Georgia senior senator
expressed his views on the
subject in a speech to the Inter
national Dale Carnegie Spon
sors convention in Atlanta.
“In your work and in mine,
we are both concerned with
employee self-improvement,
and career advancement, in pri
vate business or government,”
Talmadge said. He called it
“career education.”
He said a landmark year in
federal employee training was
in 1958 when Congress approved
the Government Employees
Training Act, which provided
for systematic education and
development of civil servants
throughout the various grade
levels.
“This was an important step
forward,” Sen. Talmadge said.
He added:
“Once moving in this direc
tion, we kept going. In 1966,
President Johnson appointed a
task force to review training
and education programs pro
vided in professional, admin
istrative and technical occupa
tions.
“The study covered all fed
eral government training and
led to the creation of the C ivil
Service Commission’s Bureau
of Training. The importance
of training and adult education,
was firmly established.”
Turning to private business
industry’s role in this com
paratively new concept of up
grading positions of deserving
employees, T almadge said:
“The nation’s largest cor
porations are especially ori
ented toward career education.
In their highly competitive busi
nesses, they recognize the fact
that entire occupations — and
businesses — can become more
complex, or more simple, or
they can just disappear.
“Hence, it is a never-ending
battle for them to see that
their employees keep their
skills updated and always ready
to meet new needs of the busi
ness. This, of course, helps
employees improve them
selves. It also makes them
more valuable to the company,
and the company', therefore,
more productive and efficient.”
