Georgia teachers endorse standardized high school plan
At the Georgia conference in Athens the session endorsed departmental organization for better instruction and urged separate numbering for high school grades. A tuition of 1 to 2 dollars monthly was favored to improve teaching efficiency. The group called for a three-class high school system and state aid, with a unified course of study and careful supervision to close the gap with higher institutions. The proposed curriculums span English, mathematics, history, science, languages, and manual training across two to four year tracks.
