Education Week IN Georgia

-EW events in Georgia this year will be
i so wide-reaching in significance to the
commonweal as Education Week. This
occasion will bring together in Atlanta, May
81, for counseling and purposng, leaders
in four exceedingly important realms of edu-
cationaI endeavor. On Tuesday, May the
third, college and normal school interests
will be discussed by authorities in those
commanding fields On Wednesday, city and
county school officials will assemble for
four-days meeting. On Thursday will begin
the f1fty-sixth annual convention of the
Georgia Teachers Associations; and on the
same day, the eighth annual conference of
the Parent-Teacher Association and the
Georgia Congress of Mothers. Thus every
province of school. work, from kindergarten
to university, will be represented, and all
will be bound together in a common enthu-
siasm for the enrichment and upbuilding Of
Georgia life.
The far-ranging appeal and Importance Of
the week, together with reduced railway
rates from all points in the State and the
assurance of ample hotel accommodations,
promise an attendance of extraordinary
numbers, even for the South's chief conven-
ton city. Every Georgian, whatever his
lifes business has cause to be concerned in
this series of educational counsels. For the
questions there to be dealt with and the I'M
dertakings there to be launched or reinforced
individual welfare. The basic problems Of
the farmer, the basic problems of the bust
ness man, of the laborer, the manufacturer.
the reformer the citizen, are essentially
educational.,, The way to richer harvests, to
more productive industries and more thriv-
ing trade lies through the school room.
Progress and prosperity, what are they but
thought and knowledge utilizing nature
guiding the plow, presiding at loom and
forge, wrestling new treasures from atom and
ion, setting free the imprisoned splendour"
in our human clay?
These are the forces for whose promotion
Education Week is to be held. 1t is greatly
to be hoped, therefore, that men Of affairs,
public officials and citizens of every voca-
ton, as we'll as teachers and educational
leaders, will be in attendal,c e. The cause
is as generously comprehensive as patriotism
or humanity, and the occasion will be pecu-
Iarly rich in values for those present. and for
the Commonwealth.
