today I rise to recognize an outstanding institution in my home state of Georgia, Darton College. Recently, I was contacted by one of the school's students who wrote to express his pride and support of his school and the educational opportunity that he is being provided. Mr. President, it is my belief that the finest accolade a school can receive is the praise of its students and, in turn, their success. There are many battles on the American playing field each day, in the business world, political world, the judicial world, but none can be more important than those being fought in the classrooms of our learning institutions. Because, after all, our nation depends on these educational institutions to provide us with the necessary tools to win the other battles we encounter in our lifetime. Mr. President, with that in mind, I would like to express my support for continued success and prosperity for past, current and future students, faculty and staff of Darton College.

My colleague would agree, would he not, that the merit pay might keep that good teacher in that system longer than otherwise? At some point, we know we are losing good teachers because outside interests are seeking that kind of talent.
