Book Description
Excerpt from Educational Survey of Walker County, Georgia The biggest public problem confronting Walker county, undoubtedly, is the proper education of the children future citizens of the county. No other compares with it in present importance or projects itself so far into the future. In proportion as people are more im portant than property will their training mean more than any' possible development of the material resources of the county. Ill fares the land, to hastening ills a prey, Where wealth accumulates and men decay. But more serious thought and business-like planning and liberal financial support has been given to the development of the material interests of Walker county than to the con struction of an efficient public school system, as evidenced by the greater progress accomplished, court house and jail, public road system, agriculture, etc., etc. As compared to these we would call attention to the photographs and de tailed descriptions of the school houses and school equip ments of the rural schools given in this report. A good public road system makes a good public school system possible, and neither can be had with-out both lib eral financial support and strong central expert administra tion. Local initiative or administration never accomplishes either. Administration and supervision should always come from the same source as the support, and in the same pro portion.

Book Description
I personally learned to know Ralph Tyler rather late in his career when, in the 1960s, I spent a year as a Fellow at the Center for Advanced Study in the Behavioral Sciences at Stanford. His term of office as Director of the Center was then approaching its end. This would seem to disqualify me thoroughly from preparing a Foreword to this "Classic Works. " Many of his colleagues and, not least, of his students at his dear Alma Mater, the University of Chicago, are certainly better prepared than I to put his role in American education in proper perspective. The reason for inviting me is, I assume, to bring out the influence that Tyler has had on the international educational scene. I am writing this Foreword on a personal note. Ralph Tyler's accomplishments in his roles as a scholar, policy maker, educational leader, and statesman have been amply put on record in this book, not least in the editors' Preface. My reflections are those of an observer from abroad but who, over the last 25 years, has been close enough to overcome the aloofness of the foreigner. Tyler has over many years been criss-crossing the North American con tinent generously giving advice to agencies at the federal, state, and local levels, lecturing, and serving on many committees and task forces that have been instrumental in shaping American education.

Book Description
Excerpt from Educational Survey of Stephens County, Georgia From illustrations and descriptions and reports of the schools of Stephens county as given herein it will be seen that the public school situation isnot such as to excite the pride of the citizens or afford a fair opportunity to the children, and it is very clear that the entire county school system must be reorganized before a basis can be laid for adequate educational facilities for the children of the county. The problem, which is the most important one confronting the people, shculd be considered as a whole rather than from the standpoint of any one school or locality. It is a countywide problem of far-reaching importance, and well deserves the most serious consideration of all good citizens. It is not even second in importance to permanent good roads or streets or court houses. No school in the county can ever attain its highest efficiency or render its greatest service until every school in the county is made a good school. Each one is more or less dependent upon and influenced by every other one, and all should be organized into a harmonious educational system with the purpose of providing for every child in the county equal and adequate opportunities for a thorough education. This can only be done by a business-like organization well indicated by experience and opinions of public school administrators, and the unselfish cooperation of all the citizens of the county. Such reorganization will first involve abolishing the legal wall of separation in educational matters set up by special legislation around the towns of Toccoa and Martin, and making one cause with the rest of their county for a thoroughly efficient educational system. This can be done as it has been done in many other Georgia counties, without any sacrifices, financial or educational, to either of these Stephens county towns. On the contrary, there is much to be gained by both towns from cooperating in such proposed reorganization. Still more would be the gain to rural sections of the county; and no good fortune can come to any part of the county without being shared by the county seat. The public schools at Toccoa and Martin have probably about reached their full growth and development already until they can render better service and receive better support for their county, and to perpetuate their limitations would be selfish, non-progressive, and suicidal policy.

Book Description
The inspiration for the new film adaptation of the Tony-winning Broadway musical Alice Walker’s iconic modern classic, and winner of the Pulitzer Prize and the National Book Award A powerful cultural touchstone of modern literature, The Color Purple depicts the lives of African American women in early twentieth-century rural Georgia. Separated as girls, sisters Celie and Nettie sustain their loyalty to and hope in each other across time, distance, and silence. Through a series of letters spanning twenty years, first from Celie to God, then the sisters to each other despite the unknown, the novel draws readers into its rich and memorable portrayals of Celie, Nettie, Shug Avery and Sofia and their experience. The Color Purple broke the silence around domestic and sexual abuse, narrating the lives of women through their pain and struggle, companionship and growth, resilience and bravery. Deeply compassionate and beautifully imagined, Alice Walker's epic carries readers on a spirit-affirming journey toward redemption and love.

Book Description
Scores of talented and dedicated people serve the forensic science community, performing vitally important work. However, they are often constrained by lack of adequate resources, sound policies, and national support. It is clear that change and advancements, both systematic and scientific, are needed in a number of forensic science disciplines to ensure the reliability of work, establish enforceable standards, and promote best practices with consistent application. Strengthening Forensic Science in the United States: A Path Forward provides a detailed plan for addressing these needs and suggests the creation of a new government entity, the National Institute of Forensic Science, to establish and enforce standards within the forensic science community. The benefits of improving and regulating the forensic science disciplines are clear: assisting law enforcement officials, enhancing homeland security, and reducing the risk of wrongful conviction and exoneration. Strengthening Forensic Science in the United States gives a full account of what is needed to advance the forensic science disciplines, including upgrading of systems and organizational structures, better training, widespread adoption of uniform and enforceable best practices, and mandatory certification and accreditation programs. While this book provides an essential call-to-action for congress and policy makers, it also serves as a vital tool for law enforcement agencies, criminal prosecutors and attorneys, and forensic science educators.
