with the receiving institution’s AP

colleges that most AP candidates
have attended give credit and/or

whose AP examination grades are
considered acceptable.

last May. A geographic
comparison of grades earning a 3 or
higher follows: Houston County,
71.8 percent; Georgia, 53.8
percent; Southern Region (11
states), 58.1 percent; and Global,
66.3 percent.

the AP Program, please contact the

Libraries planning to
use new database
The public libraries in
Centerville, Perry and Warner
Robins are all busily entering their
collections into a database for use
as the card catalog and circulation
check-out system. These systems
were made possible with the lottery
money distributed by the State of
Georgia to libraries and school
systems. While the staffs of each
of the libraries are very excited
about the end result, the task itself
is overwhelming.
If you can type and are not
intimidated by a computer, the
libraries could certainly use some
help. Even if you cannot type, but
have some spare time to put on bar
codes and labels, your help would
be greatly appreciated. Please call
Centerville, 953-4500, Perry, 987-
3050, or Warner Robins at 923-
0128 and set up a volunteer time.
Thank you for any help you can
give us!

Wednesday, September 21,1994, Houston Times -Journal -
Young people need to be
encouraged about school
You’ve heard it many times, so
often that you probably don’t even
think about it any more. It’s late
August, and the morning disc
jockey wakes you up saying, “Too
bad, kids! The summer is over, and
you’ve got to go to school today !”
The same thing happens when
the threatened snow storm blows
over, leaving the roads and bridges
clear. And perhaps you’ve said it to
your neighbor’s children - or your
own!
Is it any wonder that kids get the
message that they are not supposed
to like school? That there is
something un-American about them
if they do? That their purpose in
going to school is to do as little as
possible and wait for the bell to
ring?
We need to encourage our young
people in their school work, not
drag them down. And we need to
express our appreciation to the
adults who give themselves to the
guidance of these young people.
In our community we have
quality education available from
both public and private schools, and
that is good. Jan and I have always
believed strongly in the work of the
public schools.
Houston County schools were a
strong attraction when we moved to
Warner Robins in 1990, and when
we accepted our re-assignment to
Perry three years later.
I personally believe that no
group of adults is doing more to
create the America of tomorrow
than are those adults who are
working in the public schools of
today.
But we need to express our
support for adults and young
persons in both systems. None of
us is helped by shoddy
workmanship - all of us benefit
when teaching and learning are
effective and enjoyable enough to
become life-long habits.

Church news
Jesus said we are to love God
with our hearts, our souls, our
strength - and our minds! )
Lukelo:27) I don’t think the
church has ever gotten a good sense
of how we are to use our minds in
the love of God.
Some even tell you that we
serve God best when we use our
minds least. I think that is a strange
theology. I come from a tradition
that values the trained mind as well
as the warm heart.
One of John Wesley’s preachers
once told him, “I have no taste for
reading.”
Wesley asked him where he
found his texts for preaching.
When die preacher said God gave
him his texts, Wesley asked, “Did
God ever give you a text that you
had never read ?”
Of course the answer was no, so
Wesley told him to develop a taste
for reading or find something else
to do!
At the very least, I am convinced
that die belter we use the minds He
gave us, die more we honor Him.
God takes no delight in sloppy
workmanship, whether it is work of
die hands or of the mind.
I do not mean that everyone
must be a genius, any more than 1
would say that everyone must be a
master craftsman.
But each of us is allied to do the
best job we can of using the gifts
God has given us. When teachers
and students do their work well,
diey help us all offer our sacrifice
of praise to God.
(Dr. Marcus V, Tripp is pastor
of the Perry United Methodist
Church)
