The Commission's report rev ommends that the General Assembly: 1. hnact a la* establishing a state -wide program tor gifted children. 2. Provide funds for adding to the permanent suit of t: -e Mate Department of Public Instruction a Coordinator for the Gifted and a Supervisor tr. the Division of Testing and Pupil Identification. j. Continue demonstration proprams, parriaJlv f: .lanced by the State, which are now in operation at five pilot v-en ter^..

Provide funds lor a qja lified school psychologist and a curriculum expert in each o t 10 districts to be set up across the State.

Appropriate funds through the Department of Public In struction to encourage local school administrative units to develop programs that meet their individual needs. Thirty teachers would be provided at state expense, three in each of the ten districts. h. Provide funds for con ducting and publishing re search In the education of glft ec: children. The cost of the program Is placed a: $444,000 for 1961 62 and $504,000 for 3962-63, a total of $948,000 for the blennlum . The commission says, "It Is not safe to assume thar the ex cpnor.all v talented students ran take care of themselves, ^hen they are slowed down to the pace of average or below - average students, they frequently develop lazy habits and sometimes becomediscip i'ne problems, : an nor de pend on bright students to be self-motivate." Results of studies in other states and of programs for the glfter conducted In North Car olina are cited as evidence that such students need special attention to achieve their pot ential . The Commission recognizes that It would be impractical to set forth a standard prog ram tor gifted students that could be adopted by all school systems mtheState, However, i! urges that systematic and scientific methods of Identify ing gifted students be used in grades. Suggested programs for Instructlo n of such pupils Include grouplne according to ability, cither on a lull -rime basis or a part-time basts for a single subject; 'he nor. -grad ed primary school, in which pu pils progress at their own rate and ma\ be promoted to the fourth erade after two years in school; special classes; television courses; and Celebrate 60th Anniversary Andrews - Mr. and Mrs. W.

I 16 New Scholarships Now Available At Young Harris College Young Harris - Sixteen scholarships In the amount of $75 each per year have been established at Young Harris College for students from Towns, Unior, Fannin, Rabun, and Cherokee (N.C.) counties according to Presi dent C. R. Clegg. These scholarships averag ng two per each high school In the -county, are designed to meet the financial needs of students who are capable o: doing college work. ' It is not a first honor scholarship." states Dr Clegg, -But it is based on the student's financial need and on his demonstrated ab ility according to his high school record. The student must be recommended by the school officials and other cit izens of his community as a capable, worth person who has need for financial assistance. " In announcing the new scho larships, Dr. Clegg also sta ted that the purpose of this financial assistance Is to en tourage a higher enrollment of students In the local area. As the current total ex penses for a commuting stu dent is only $285 per year, a scholarship of $75 per year would mean that the student would only have to pay $210 a year for his education. In addition to the new . scholarship program at Young Harris College, local students ' may also be eligible to receive . an Honor Scholarship which Is '? ? $75 per year grant to first honor graduates of accredited > high schools.
