SUBMITTED TO TlA GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE STATE OF GEORGIA, AT ITS SESSION IN NOVEMBER, 1878.

Atlanta, Ga., November 6, 1878 3 To Bin ExceUeneg Alfred H Colquitt:
Dear Sir--I have the honor and the pleasure to lay before your Ex cellency the seventh report of this Department for transmission to the General Assembly.
With the highest respect, I am very Kruly yours,
GUSTAYUS J. ORE,
State School Commissioner.

REPORT
In my annual report for the year 1876, 1 gave in condensed form a statement of the annual attendance upon the public schools each year since the inauguration of the public school system in 1871. In order to show the gradual increase in the magnitude of the work done I re capitulate the statement then made, bringing it down to the close of the year 1877. Before giving the statement it may be proper for me to say a word in relation to the omission of th# statistics of 1872. It will be remembered, that before the schools of 1871 were put into operation there had been a misapplication of the school fund. As a consequence when I came into office in January 1872,1 found a school debt in exist ence amounting to about $300,000, and no funds in the Treasury with which to pay that debt, or to conduct schools in 1872. I determined, therefore, not to put schools in operation till there was a reliable pros pect of having the funds on hand with which to pay the teachers no the completion of their work. Having made this explanatory state ment, I proceed to give the statistics referred to. There have been enrolled in the schools in the successive years since the beginning of the work as follows: in 1871, white pupils, 42,914; colored, 6,664; total, 49,578: in 1873, white, 63,922; colored, 19,755; total, 83,677; increase over the attendance of 1871, 34,099:, in 1874,'white, 93,167; colored, 42,374; total, 135,541; increase over the attendance of 1873, 51,864: in 1875, white, 105,990; colored, 50,358; total, 156,394; in crease over^the attendance of 1874, 20,808: in 1876, white, 121,418; colored, 57,987; total, 179,405; increase over the attendance olf 1875, 23,011: in 1877, white, 128,296; colored, 62,330; total, 190,626; in crease over the attendance of 1876, 11,221.
The attendance given above for the year 1877 is based upon actual returns made to this office from the various counties in every instance except in the cases of the county of Sumter and the city of Americus, from which no returns have been made. To obtain the figures above 2000 was added for this county and city, that being about the number of pupils enrolled in former years, and of this number one-third was added to the number of colored pupils, and the remaining two-thirds to the number of whites.
The amount of the State school fund, apportioned in 1877, was $150,225.42; in 1878, this fund was $154, 378.70. This fund is derived, as is well known, from the half rental of the Western and Atlantic Railroad, from the tax on shows and exhibitions, and from dividends on q0i hun dred and eighty-six shares of the capital stock of the Georgia Railroad and Banking Company. The poll tax is also appropriated to the sup

port of common schools, but this tax never goes into the State Treasu

ry, each county being authorized by law to retain all of it collected

within the corporate limits of the county to be applied to the support

of schools. I am not able, therefore, to give accurately the amount of

this tax collected in any given year. My information is sufficient, how

ever, to enable me to state that the entire State fund, derived from the

poll tax, and the other sources above named, amounts each year to about

$300,000. There was added during the year 1877, by local taxation, in

the counties of Chatham, Eichmond and Bibb, and in the cities of At

lanta, Columbus and West Point, which are under local laws, the ag

gregate sum of f100,153.19, making the amount applied to the support

of schools throughout the State, during that year, in round numbers,

$400,000. In the counties and cities under local laws the schools are

kept in operation from six to ten months of the year. In the State at

large the schools are kept in operation only three months of the year.

The State fund is not sufficient to pay for the teaching for these three

months. The term for which it-pays varies from one and one half to

three months, the whole school debt for the year being paid in a few

counties by the public fund. In nearly all the counties, however, in

order to ensure the payment of the teachers it is necessary to make a

supplemental contract with the patrons to pay what the State fails to

pay. This arrangement has secured the teaching of an increasing num

ber of pupils, from year to year, amounting in the year 1877, as shown

above, to 190,626. I desire to make this remark on the foregoing facts.

While the work we are doing is wholly inadequate, I have never known

in all my school reading, which has been pretty extensive, results so

great achieved by the use of means so limited.

The school law requires the enumeration of the school population to

be taken every four years. It was taken in 1874. The year 1878 was

the year for taking it again, and it has accordingly been done. Ac

cording to the census of 1874, the number of Children between the ages

of six and eighteen years of age, was as follows: white, 218,733

colored, 175,304 ; total, 394,037. The return just taken gives these num

bers as follows : white, 236,319 ; colored, 197,125 ; total, 433,444. This

shows an increase in four years as follows : white, 17,586; colored,

21,821 ; total, 39,407.

In 1874, the number of persons between ten and eighteen years old,

unable to read, was reported as follow: white, 26,552; colored, 79,692;

total, 106,244. The same figures as reported this year, are as follows:

white, 22,333; colored, 63,307; total, 85,630. Notwithstanding the

great increase in school population reported, the decrease in the num

ber of illiterates is as follows: white, 4,229; colored, 16,885; total,

20,614. These figures show that our efforts towards the extinguish

ment of illiteracy, notwitchstanding the meagerness of the mews put

at our disposal, have not been without results, and especially do they

show-that our colored citizens are not disposed " to despise the day of

small things," as to education^ privileges.

ble to read, as follows: white, 23,299: colored, 145,208; total, 168,507. The returns of the present year makes these same numbers as follows: white, 20,839; colored, 148,494; total, 169,333. As might have been expected, the numbers returned for illiterates of this class have been but little changed.
The school law provides "that it shall be the duty of the State School Commissioner to visit, as often as possible, the several counties of the State, for the purpose of examining into the administration of the school law in said counties, of counseling with school officers, of delivering popular addresses, of inspecting school operations, and of doing such other acts as he may deem subservient to the interest of popular educrtion."
In the year 1875, I wrote and published in the leading daily newspa pers of the State, a series of letters, in which I discussed the whole school question, endeavoring, at the same time, to make the discussion specially applicable to the status of the State of Georgia. In my re port for that year I published these letters, covering some seventy-six pages of the pamphlet. I had felt, from the beginning of my official labors the necessity of discussion, veryjfew of our most intelligent men had studied the subject of public education, and the masses of the people knew almost nothing concerning it. The written discussion al luded to produced a decided impression. The report containing it was extensively applied for by gentlemen residing in quite a number of the other States in different portions of the Union, and many of the most intelligent citizens of our own State have, in conversations with the writer, referred in complimentary terms to the discussion, and have expressed their individual obligations for the views presented therein. Still I felt that there was a want which could be met, only by putting into practical operation the provision of law quoted at the opening of this paragraph.
The masses of the people read but little, and few intelligent men have the time or the inclination to labor through the reading of a pro tracted discussion. I knew, therefore, that to reach the masses I must, as far ae possible, speak to them face to face. The only difficulty in the way of carrying this into practical execution was the lack of the pecuniary means. While the school law relating to the State School Commissioner provides that " All his necessary traveling expenses, in curred in the performance of his official duties, except board and hotel bills, shall be paid by the State," I knew the jealousy of the public, and especially of the members of the General Assembly, the servants of the public, in relation to the expenditure of public funds, and I deter mined to adhere to a resolution formed, on my entrance into office, to do nothing which could justly subject me to censure from the most exact ing. I therefore made an arrangement with Dr. Sears, the general agent of the Trustees of the Peabody Fund, by which he agreed to pay, not only my traveling expenses, but any expenses for addition^cleri-
cal aid that might be rendered necessary in consequence of my absence from the office. I also succeeded in securing from the Supperintend-

ents of the various railroads in the State, in some,cases, free tickets, and, in others, reduced rates of fare. Having thus arranged to free the public from expense in the matter, early in the year 1876 I entered upon an educational canvass of the State. Since that time I have visited the following eighty-two counties, located in all the different portions of the State, viz: Baldwin, Bartow, Brooks,Burke, Camden, Carroll, Catoosa, Chattooga, Cherokee, Clarke, Clinch, Cobb, Colum bia, Coweta, Decatur, DeKalb, Dodge, Dougherty, Douglas, Early, Effingham, Elberton, Fannin, Floyd, Franklin, Gilmer, Glynn, Gor don, Greene, Gwinnett, Habersham, Hall, Hancock, Harris, -Henry, Houston, Jackson, Jasper, Jefferson, Liberty, Lincoln, Lowndes, Ma rion, McDuffie, McIntosh, Meriwether, Mitchell, Monroe, Morgan, Murray, Muscogee, Newton, Oglethorpe, Paulding, Pike, Polk, Pulaski, Putnam, Quitman, Rabun, Randolph, Richmond, Rockdale, Schley, Scriveri, Sumter, Talbot, Taliaferro, Tatnall, Terrell, Thomas, TownsTroup, Union, Upson, Walker, Walton, Washington, White, Whitfield, Wilkinson and Worth. Previously to entering on the present canvass, I had visited the following counties: Campbell, Clayton, Forsyth, Lumpkin, Macon, Madison and Warren, making eighty-nine counties in all visited. 'During the recent canvass I delivered ninety-seven pub lic addresses, having spoken twice in many of the counties mentioned, and before commencing the canvass I had spoken at thirteen different places, making in all one hundred and ten addresses delivered by me since my induction in office.
Since my entrance into office I have witnessed a great revolution in public sentiment. At the beginning of my first term it was almost uni versal for my friends to speak in despondent terms in reference to the prospect before me. For some time past I have been receiving words of encouragement from all classes of citizens, from men eminent for learning and ability. Judges of our Supreme and Superior Courts, prom inent men in the different professions, leading educators, and large numbers of the common people, white and colored.
This change is due, doubtless, in part, to faithfulness of administra tion, and, in part, to written discussions, but much more largelyj in my opinion, to discussions face to face before the people, and it is for this reason that I have entered into some minuteness of detail in giving an account of my late canvass. I cannot close the record on this point without giving public expression to my obligations to the Judges of the various Superior Courts of the State for uniform courtesy and kindness, and for aid given me in the prosecution of the work. It has been my custom to make appointments during the sessions of the courts, and the Judges have almost invariably made every concession that I could have asked as to opportunities for addressing the people.
In my visits to the counties I have sometimes heard objections raised to cm- school system of a character sufficiently grave to require serious consideration. One of these is that the public schools have, to a con siderable extent, destroyed the private schools without supplying an efficient substitute. Let us consider, briefly, the first part of this alle-

gatioa. Is it true that the public schools have broken up the private schools, or injured them to any serious extent? Since the war closed fourteen years have passed. During the first six of these there were no public schools. Then came the public schools of 1871, in which the people had too little confidence to make them formidable in producing injurious effects upon any private schools that may have existed. The next year there was no attempt made to put public schools in operation. It is thus seen that during eight out of the fourteen years the alleged cause must either have operated very feebly, as in the year 1871, or not at all, as during the other seven of these years when it did not exist. Now, do the facts show that private schools were in a more flourishing condition from the close Of the war in the spring of 1865 up to the be ginning of the year 1873 than they have been since? This question can be determined only by general observation, as no reliable statistics have yet been collected in relation to private schools. The impression made upon my own mind by general observation is not favorable to an affirmative answer to the question, and in this impression I think most observers will agree with me.
It is very plain to my mind that private schools, as a rule, have not been as well attended since the war as they were before. I can see a sufficient cause for this result, however, in the poverty of the people, brought upon them by the war. Since the decline can be dated back to the close of the war, and since that decline has not been more marked in the last six years of the 'post helium, period during which public schools have been in existence, I am convinced that poverty is the main cause. The fact that in the colleges and high schools there has been a much more evident decline than in the elementary schools tends to confirm me in this conviction, as any decrease in attendance upon these cannot be attributed to the establishment of the public schools between which and them there is no competition, as by statute the public schools can teach only the elementary branches of spelling, reading, writing, arith metic, English Grammar and Geography.
It may be true that the decline of which we have been speaking is to some small extent due to the influence of the public schools. I can well understand how certain persons, who might have been induced to send their children to a private school, put them to work instead, satis fying their consciences with the thought that their whole duty will have been discharged when their children are permitted to attend a three month's public school. I cannot think, however, that private schools would be very greatly weakened by the loss of the patronage of a class of persons, who from their low views of education would not be likely to do much Under any circumstances to build up schools.
I have dwelt long enough, perhaps, on this topic and now dismiss it with one additional remark. As the new Constitution has made public schools the permanent educational policy of the State, the de<Sme in private schools, whatever may be its cause, ean be remedied only by making the public schools more efficient, and it is the evident duty of

every"good citizen to give his influence toward the attainment of that result.
Another objection to our school system, which was quite current formerly, but which has been urged with much less frequency of late, is that it is too expensive. This objection is most commonly found in the mouths of persons who have not informed themselves, either as to actual outlay, or as to the checks provided in our law against improper expenditure; and notwithstanding 1 have answered it on other occa* sions, I feel called upon again to put on paper certain statements in respect to it. The only county school officers who receive any pecu niary compensation are the County School Commissioners. The mem bers of the County Boards of Education are exempt from road, militia and jury duty, and this is their sole compensation. The District Trustees serve without compensation of any kind.' It is thus seen jthat there is
only one officer to a county who receives compensation. It will be seen by reference to table No. 2, for the year 1877, which is bound with this report, that all the counties except six reported the sums paid the County School Commissioners during that year, and that the ag gregate is $17,877. Add to this $800 for the six counties not re porting--which is $133 to a county, and that is a fair estimate-- and we have $18,677 as the entire sum paid to all the county school officials for that year. An official statement from the Comptroller General now in this office shows that the entire expenses of the central office, including salaries, printipg and postage accounts, and all other incidentals, amounted, the same year, to $5,000. Add this* and we have the sum total of expenses for the year 1877, $23,677. The entire State school fund, as has been stated elsewhere in this report, is about $300,000. The entire amount of expenses is 7 4-5 per cent, of this fund. When it is remembered that the County School Commissioners receive and pay out the school fund of their respective counties, giving bond and security for the safe keeping of the same, that they collect and report to the central office all school statistics, that they are the executive officers of their Boards in contracting with teachers, and that there are many other nameless duties performed by them, it may well be doubted whether any other class of public servants has, at any time in the history of the State, rendered so much ser vice at so light a cost. When our school system was first put in operation, too much was paid, in a good many instances, to these county officials. This evil has been gradually corrected till there is not, in the opinion of the writer, a great deal left to be com
plained of. An inspection of the table will show, however, that, in some cases, sums are paid to the County Commissioner^ which seeffijtoo large for the service rendered. There is not a doubt in my mind but that this evil will, in the end, fully correct itself under the operation of our wisely framed law. By the provisions of that law each County School Commissioner receives &per diem

not to exceed three dollars, to be determined by the Board of Ed ucation, and this Board is required to limit the number of days for which the Commissioner shall charge for services rendered. By means of these provisions of law the Board can reduce the compensation of the Commissioner to jnst as small a sum as they see fit. This is a better mode of fixing compensation than that o giving a percentage of the county fund to each Commissioner as has sometimes been proposed. The last mode would make the compensation too much in some cases and too little in others. The former puts it in the power of judicious men who live in the county and are conversant with all the elements of the problem, to say what the compensation shall be. This is the only mode which has occurred to my mind that will do justice in the premises. Men can obtain boarding in the mountain counties at $4 to $4.50 per month, while in the middle and lower oounties it cannot be obtained at less than from $10 to Sl.'r. The other ordinary ex
penses of living are usually about in proportion to that named. The Board of Education will be conversant with all these facts and will, therefore, be prepared to do what is right in the matter. If, however, the Board should prove reckless, the law provides other safeguards for the protection of the people. The County Commis sioner is required, at the spring term of the Superior Court, to lay before the grand jury an account of his official actings, including a statement of the sums of money received and paid out, and to whom paid. When this statement is examined, if the the jury shall believe that the school interests of the county are being badly managed, they have the right, by a two-thirds vote, to re commend the removal of the Commissioner and the entire Board from office, provided they believe the bad management involves " inefficiency, incapacity, general neglect of duty, or malt usance, or corruption in office,'' and when this recommendation is made, the Judge is boun dto carry it into execution. I have thus shown, as I think, that the school interests of the State are now being managed with a reasonable degree of economy, and that the wisest of remedies are provided for correcting improper expenditures should they occur in particular localities. I hope that this discus sion will forever put to re t complaints which have frequently, and, in my opinion, most unreasonably been made.
I have no changes to propose in the school laws, except certain additional legislation providing for an ampler school fund. Our school laws are, in most of their provisions, admirable. I had the pleasure, last, winter, of at tending a meeting, held at Washington City, of the Department of Superin tendence of the National Educational Association, at which twenty-two States were represented. At this meeting, a report was made upon "Thebest school organization for a State," that is, upon the best school law. ^elt, as I think, a just pride, when I observed that the Georgia school la\W were followed in that report, in almost every particular. Our machinery is goodAll we have1 lacked from the beginning is the motive power, the pecuniary

resources. No thinking man need be told that a school fund of $300,000 is insufficient to put in operation an efficient school system in a State with a school population of 433,444. The present leading school law, contained, in its original form, a section conferring on the counties the right of supple menting the inadequate State appropriation by local taxation, which wasdefeated on the passage of the bill. I have tried repeatedly since to obtain similar legislation, but have been defeated, in every attempt. I propose now to discuss the possibilities, as to monetary resources for schools, provided in the new Constitution, showing what may be done, and recommending only such measures as, in my opinion, ought to adopted at present. Before do ing that, however, I shall show what the Constitution, without the inter vention of the Legislature has in itself actually accomplished. Before the adoption of the present Constitution, the School Department held for the use of schools the half-rental of the Western and Atlantic Railroad, simply by statute. That Department holds thesame now, and will continue to hold it until the expiration of the lease, by the fundamental law. By that law, ' any educational fund now belonging to the State (except the endowment of, and debt due to, the University of Georgia) is set apart and devoted to the support of common schools." At the time the Constitution was adopted, the half rental of the Western and Atlantic Railroad was an educational fund belonging to the State, set apart as such by statute. Immediately on the adoption of the Constitution, the words above quoted took effect on thehalf-rental, changing it from a statutory to a constitutional school fund. It is true that another part of the Constitution authorizes the sale of the West ern and Atlantic Railroad, and provides that the proceeds of the sale, in casea sale is made, shall go to the extinguishment of the public debt. It will be observed that it is the proceeds of the sale, should a sale be effected, that is to go to the payment of the public debt. It will be noted further, that, should a sale be determined upon, the sale must be made subject to the lease. This will secure to the Department of Education the half-rental as long as the lease has still to run, which is about fourteen years.
The argument above given is clear to my mind, but, lest it should fail tocarry conviction to the readers of this paper, I beg leave to fortify it with authorities. The language of 'the Constitution above quoted was adopted word for word from the Constitution of 1863. r At the time that Constitutionwas ratified, there was in existence a small educational fund of one hundred and eighty-six shares of the capital stock of the Georgia Railroad and Bank ing Company. I held that the language of the Constitution took effect on this, and made it a constitutional school fund. To satisfy myself in relation to this view, I conversed with a number of distinguished citizens, among, whom were the Hon. L. B. Bleckley, Hon. Linton Stephens, and Hon. Joseph E. Brown, the first of whom is now one of our honored Judges of the Supreme Court, while, as is generally known,,the other two formerly filled the same exalifed position. All of them expressed the opinion that my construction of the constitutional provision in question was correct. Subsequently, the matter was brought before the State Board of Education, Gov. Smith presiding, and all the members, including Attorney General HantJJpnd, being present, in a resolution affirming the same view of the constitutional provision alluded to, and it received the unanimous vote of the members. I think the foregoing will establish beyond controversy that the new Constitution hasjadded the half-rental of the Western and AtlanticRailroad to the State school fund.

11

I proceed now to consider what may be done. From the possible meas

ures, there will be a necessity upon the members of the General Assembly

to select such as shall most approve themselves to their judgment; for the

Constitution declares ``There shall he a thorough system of common schools,

the expenses of which shall be provided for by taxation, or otherwise.'

This language is mandatory, and all who swear to support the Constitution

will be bound by their oaths to seek to give efficiency to the above quoted

words. Section 4. Article 8 of the Constitution is in these words: " Authority

may be granted to counties, upon the recommendation of two grand juries,

and to municipal corporations, upon the recommendation of the corporate

authority, to establish and maintain public schools in their respective lim

its, by local taxation ' but no such local laws shall take effect until the same

shall have been submitted to a vote of the qualified voters in each county

or municipal corporation, and approved by a two-thirds vote of persons

qualified to vote at such election ; and the General Assembly may' prescribe who shall vote on such question."

I recommend that, in order to carry into effect the foregoing constitu

tional provision, a general law be passed, authorizing any county or mu nicipal corporation in the State to levy a tax for the support of schools, the

law to be put into operation, in the former case, after two grand juries shall

have recommended; in the latter, after recommendation by the corporate

authority, and in jjoth cases, after the question of the tax has been submit

ted to the qualified voters, and has received the vote of two-thirds of the

persons qualified to vote at other elections.

In the act the application of the county fund should be restricted

to providing for educating th'e children " in the elementary

branches of an English education only for the Constitution puts

this restriction on what may be done for educating the children,

either by a county, or by the State. I do not now remember a

single instance in the history of school legislation where it has

been thought necessary to prohibit the people from putting a tax

upon their own property by their own voluntary act for educating

their children beyond the rudiments. It has generally been

thought that the danger was in educating too little, and not

in educating too much. I leave it furthermore to the framers of the

Constitution to explain the inconsistency of providing for support

ing by taxation two Universities, one for educating white, and the

other for educating colored youth, and prohibiting the people from

taxing themselves to educate their children beyond the ele

mentary branches.

There being no restriction of the kind of which I have been

speaking as to the extent to which a municipal corporati.m may

educate, 1 recommend that in framing the act this whole question

as to what shall be taught in such a municipality, be left entirely

to the control of the several communities interested.

^

There are so many restrictions thrown about the right orloeal

taxation for school purposes -in the portion of the Constitution

tiou of the instrument in any other light than as hostile legisla tion. Difficult as it may be to obtain statutory legislation under it that ean be made of practical avail, generally, still I think that a law of the kind I have recommended can even now be put in operation in a few scattered communities. Por this reason, and for the further reason that it opens up the opportunity of going be yond the rudiments of an education in any of the towns of the State, I have recommended.
Without intending it, perhaps, the framers of the Constitution have opened a wide door for admitting what would be equivalent to the local taxation which I have so often recommended, and which, in the provision above considered, they seem to have at tempted to render very difficult of attainment. In article 7, sec tion 1, paragraph 1, we find the following words : "The powers of taxation over the whole State shall be exercised by the General Assembly," among other objects expressed, "for educational pur poses, in instructing children in the elementary branches of an English education only." Legislation under this provision may be obtained by a simple majority vote of the General Assembly, and there is nothing in the Constitution Which would prevent the legis lation from being so framed as to require the tax collector to payjo ver all the tax collected und*>r it, in each of the counties, to the County School Commissioner, to be applied by him to the support of the schools of the county. A little tax of one-tenth of one per cent, would raise about $225,000. This tax would not be greatly felt, and would add largely to our school, resources. I do not recommend the levy of it at this time, as there are other modes for raising funds which I have to propose, and which would be much less felt by the people in these times of financial embarrassment.
One of the methods of raising school revenue just referred] to is by a tax on the sale of spirituous and malt liquors. The Constitu tion provides for " a special tax on the sale of spirituous and mal liquors," authorizes the General Assembly to assess it, and sets apart and devotes it,, when assessed, to the support of common schools. In order to carry into effect this provision of the Con stitution, I recommend the passage of a liquor law, similar what is known as the Moffett Liquor Law of Virg nia. Perhaps it might be well for me to state briefly, and in a general way, the lead ing provisions of this act. Under it there are four classes of dealers) Wholesale dealers, wholesale and retail dealers, retail dealers and bar-room keepers, and for each of these dealers there is a specific tax for license to sell, varying from $25 to $150 per annum, according to the grade of the dealers, the amount of sales effected and^her circumstances. Each retail dealer is subject to a tax of two and a half cents for every drink of spirituous liquor, and a half cent for every drink of malt liquor sold by him, the drink being defined to be a half pint, or any quantity less. Those selling by

State School Commissioner.

13

wholesale, are taxed by the gallon, according to special regulations' Each retail dealer is furnished by the State with an apparatus, known as a bar-room register. Upon the sale of a drink, the dealer is required to turn the crank of this instrument, which moves an index or pointer around a graduated circle, one revolu tion carrying the index over one of the graduated spaces, thus registering the sale of the drink*. If the dealer sells both spiritu ous and malt liquors, a separate register is furnished him for each kind of liquor, and these registers, it may be proper to state, are furnished at the expense of the dealer. When the revenue officer furnishes the dealer with a register, he locks it and seals it, himself taking charge of the key. At the end of each month the tax officer is required to visit the business place of each dealer in the county, observe the number of spaces passed over by the pointer, and collect the tax accordingly. In order to secure the turning of the crank, which is attended with the ringing of a bell within the instrument, and which is required to be done in the presence of the purchaser, the dealer is maoe liable to a fine for failure to turn of not less than $20, or more than $100, one-third of which goes to the informer. For full details of the measure, I refer to the act itself, several copies of which I have in my possession. I have made a careful examination into this whole matter, and am prepared to make statements, which I consider entirely reliable. The Hon. W. H. Ruffner, Superintendent of Public Instruction for the State of Virginia, informs me. in a letter now in my pos session, that the income to the State of Virginia from this source, is about $300,000 per annum, and that the people of that State are so well pleased with the law, that it bids fair to remain per manently upon the Statute Book. The latter part of this state ment agrees fully with testimony given the writer in personal interviews with citizens of Virginia, in which it was alleged that all classes of persons, including the dealers themselves, were well pleased with the law. In the State of Virginia, the proceeds of the act are applied to the payment of the public debt. The amount of revenue derived from a similar law in this State, would not be less than that realized in Virginia, the population of the two States being about the same, and I recommend that the revenue, if the law should pass, be applied to the support of common schools as provided in the Constitution.
As another means of raising school revenue, Ireco mm e n passage of a law taxing dogs. The Constitution provides for levy ing a tax on "such domestic animals as, from their nature and habits, are destructive to other property," and devotes any reve nues thus raised to the support of schools. It has been frequently proposed, in the past history of our legislation, to levy ^rax on
dogs, but such propositions have invariably been put down by jeers. The circumstances under which it is now proposed are greatly changed. The grave men who framed the new Constitu

tion, as has been seen, provided for it, and the people by an over whelming vote ratified what they had done. The object to which it is proposed to demote the fund raised, is the sacred one of educa ting the children of the State. Furthermore, of late years, there has sprung up in the southern part of the State an industry which promises to add very largely to the wealth of that section. I al lude to the industry of sheep husbandry. Sheep subsist, in that portion of the State, the year round without being fed, and yield to their owners, from the clipping of the fieece alone, a net in come of about one dollar per capita. In one small town in that portion of the State, 54,000 pounds of wool were brough t to market the present season. In many of the lower counties, where the soil is thin and but poorly adapted to agriculture, many citizens are realizing a handsome income from sheep raising alone. The sheep, in this section of the State especially, need protection against the ravages of the dogs, and for the reasons indicated in the several changes in our condition above set forth, I feel assured that a tax of the kind proposed would meet with general approval. I have no means of ascertaining, with any degree of accuracy, the amount of revenue such a tax would yield. I cannot believe, how ever, that a judiciously framed act would yield less than $200,000.
Since the adjournment of the Constitutional Convention in the summer of 1877, I have been urging the two foregoing measures in addresses before the people. I have nowhere found any serious opposition to either of them. Since the early part of the present year I have also been going before grand juries to press them and ask presentments in their favor. I was invited before the jury ip McIntosh county, and this means of exerting influence on the public was thus suggested. From that time I went before juries in the following counties, and in the order named, viz. McIntosh, Eandolph, Houston, Gilmer, Bartow, Floyd, Pike, Douglass, Cherokee, Meriwether, Walker, Gordon Washington and DeKalb. In all these counties except Bartow, Cherokee and DeKalb, action was taken by the juries, and the action taken was an en dorsement of both measures in all the counties except Walker, where the liquor tax alone was endorsed. I have received in formation, furthermore, that the liquor tax was endorsed by the jury in Jackson county, and both taxes by the juries in Decatur and Mitchell. It will be thus seen that out of seventeen counties where these measures were brought before juries, approval of both was obtained in twelve, and approval of one of them ip two coun ties, while there was a failure to act in three.
Should the General Assembly pass these measures, our school revenue will be as follows : from present sources, $300,000 ; from the if^dor tax, $300,000; from the dog tax, $200,000; total, $800,000.
From my knowledge of what has been accomplished with the pres ent school fund I am willing to obligate myself, should the amount of money mentioned be put at my disposal, to sustain in every

State School Commissioner,

U

school sub-district of the State absolutely free schools for both the white and colored races for terms varying from five to eight months of the year. As I have shown in another place in this report, the General Assembly is bound to provide a " thorough system." True statesmenship requires that this be done by those modes of raising the necessary funds which will be least burden some to the people. The measures proposed by me will be less felt than-any others that can be adopted. If any citizen feels himself oppressed by either of them, he can rid himself of the burden, by ceasing to drink, in the one ease, and by disposing of the dogs on his premises, in the other. Whatsover tax, therefore, may be paid under either of them, will be somewhat in the nature of a voluntary tax.
I am also in favor of these measures for the additional reason that money will be thus obtained for carrying on our school opera tions from a large number of citizens, who have children to be educated, and who could not be reached in any other Way. I can not urge too strongly upon the General Assembly the adoption of these measures, and, in concluding this portion of this report, I beg lea'.e simply to remark, that should they differ with me, it Will then become their duty in carrying out their obligation to provide a " thorough system " to levy a tax on property, which I feel assured would be much less acceptable in the present condition of the people.
As connected with the great object of increasing in some way our school revenue, it may not be out of place for me to give a brief aecounl of efforts made in another direction towards accomplishing this much desired end. In the latter part of last year, I received from the.Hon. John Eaton, Commissioner of Education, an invitation to be present at a meeting of the Department of Superintendence of the National Educational Association, to be held in Washington, in the month of December, already referred to elsewhere in this report. With the invitation he sent me a printed programme of the proposed exercises. From, this I learned that one subject proposed for consideration was the raising of a National Educational Fund for distribution among the States. In a paper read before that body, Commissioner Eaton advocated the setting apart of the net proceeds of the sales of the public lands for educational purposes, the fund to be distributed among the States on the basis of illiteracy for a term of ten years, and after wards, upon the basis of school population, and to be applied in the various States under the local school laws. At this meeting twenty-two States were represented, and notwithstanding, there were no delegates present from any of the Southern Slates, tfbept Maryland, West Virginia, Kentucky and Georgia, resolutions recommending the measure advocated by Commissioner Eaton, with all the restrictions above set forth, were unanimously adopted. I need not add,, that I was deeply touched'by this liber

ality on the part of Northern men. Before the Department ad journed, a committee from the body went before the Committee on Education and Labor of the House of Representative^, to ask the adoption, among other measures, of the one above set forth. A bill was prepared by that committee, carrying into effect the object and embodying the views above expressed. A bill pre pared by Senator Hoar, of Massachusetts, having the same end in view, and making a much more liberal appropriation, and leaving In like manner, as I am told, the application of the fund to be made under local laws, had already been, for sometime, before the Senate. On my return from Washington, at a meeting of the friends of public education, held in this city, a call was issued for a Southern Educational Convention, to be held in Atlanta, on the 6th of the following February, with the hope of securing the desired Congressional Legislation. The meeting was held, and was composed of over one hundred delegates, from the nine fol lowing States, viz: West Virginia, Virginia, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Louisiana, Tennessee and Missouri. The following preamble and resolutions were adopted at the meeting by a unanimous vote :
"Whereas, certain measures are now pending before the Con gress of the United States, which propose to raise from the sales of public lands and other sources, a fund to be distributed among the several States in aid of popular education; and,
"Whereas, these measures provide that this distribution shall be made for a term of years upon the basis of illiteracy, and after wards upon the basis of school population ; and,
"Whereas, the measures referred to do not claim for the nation al government the right to control education in the States; but provide, simply, for turning over the fund raised to the constitu ted authorities of the several States, to be applied under State laws; therefore, be it
"Resolved, that this Convention does most heartily approve the adoption of some measure of national legislation which shall em body the nrinciples set forth in the foregoing preamble.
"Resolved, that the educational wants of the Southern States are immediate and pressing, and we would suggest to Congress the consideration of the question as to whether it might not be best to distribute and apply the entire corpus of whatever funds that body, from time to time, may provide, to the immediate relief of these wants.
"Resolved, that as the educational laws of the several States represented by us make no discriminations in favor of or against the children of any class of citizens ; and, as those charged with the administration of these laws have endeavored, in the past, to have them carried into effect impartially, so do we pledge our selves to use our influence to secure even-handed justice to all

17

classes of citizens, in the application of any educational funds pro vided by the national government.
"Resolved, That a committe, consisting of the President of this Convention, and fifteen members and fifteen alternates--one member and one alternate to be selected from each of the South ern States--be appointed by the President of this convention to memorialize Congress upon the subject set forth in the foregoing preamble and resolutions.
"Resolved, That we respectfully ask the immediate attention of the Senators and Representatives of the Southern States in Congress to the objects referred to in the foregoing resolutions, and appeal to them to hasten favorable action upon the same."
The memorial provided for in the fourth resolution, was pre pared and was sent forward from several of the Southern States That which went forward from Georgia, had five thousand signers The time allowed for obtaining signatures was limited. Had there been sufficient time for a thorough canvass, the only limit to the number of signers would have been the limit of population. It is perhaps netdless to remark that, from the basis of distribution adopted, should the proposed legislation prevail, the Southern States would be much the greater beneficiaries. From the House Bill, which is less liberal than the Senate Bill, Georgia, accord ing to an estimate made by the Commissioner of Education,would receive about $80,000 per annum. Though I have occupied con siderable space in presenting this subject, I beg leave to quote still further from the Southern Memorial, a passage showing the ground of the discrimination in favor of the South : " We deem it proper," say the memorialists, "to show why it is that we ask discrimination in favor of the Southern States. And here we shall simply make a brief appeal to facts. By the census of 1870, the population of the States of Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Mississippi, Missouri, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, and West Virginia, was as follows : White, 9,275,856 ; colored, 4,472,684. It will thus been seen, that nearly one-third of the people of these States, at that time, consisted of recently liberated slaves, owning little, if any, taxable property. Add to the number of freedmen, the number of whites impoverished by the then recent war, and the number thus found destitute of material resources would, in all probability, equal one-half of the entire population. The property of the fifteen States named in 1870, amounted to $3,553,755,000; while the census of 1860 shows the same aggregate, at that time, to have been $5,426,042,724. It will thus be seen that the value of all property in 1870, was only about three-fifths ol the same value in 1860. In the altered condition of society, brought about U^the late war, every man is a voter; and the safety of Republican in stitutions depends upon extending to the masses the benefits of education. Can the states named, unaided, with half the popula

18

State School Commissiouer.

tion non-taxpayers, and their resources reduced fully two-fifths, accomplish this result ?
By taking an area of less extent, we make a much stronger case. The States of Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina and Texas, had, in 1870, a population of whites amounting to 3,896,280, while the colored population was 3,103,860, very nearly equal to that of the whites. The aggregate of property in these States, in 1870, was $1,404,487,468; while the same aggregate, in 1860, was $3,294,241,406. From the figures above given, we feel justified in saying that, in the States mentioned, at the time referred to, the non-tax payers must have been very nearly two-thirds of the entire population, while an arithmetical computation demonstrates that the taxable prop erty was only about three-eighths of what it had been at the be ginning of the preceding decade.
On the simple facts thus presented, your memorialists would rest their case, appealing to their liberal minded, enlightened rep resentatives to do what the best interests of the country evidently demand at their bands."
The measures above referred to are still pending before Congress, and may be reached at the next session. My object in devoting so much space to the subject in this report, is to bring it clearly to the attention of the General Assembly and to ask the passage of resolutions approving the ^policy of the measures and, requesting our Senators and Representatives in Congress to give their support to whatever measure shall embody that policy in the least objec tionable form.
Before closing this report, it is proper that I give some account of what has been done for this State during the past two years by the Rev. Dr. Sears, General Agent of the Trustees of the Peabody Fund.
For the year 1876-7 the appropriations were as follows :

Augusta..................................................

$1,800

West Point........................................................................................... 600

Dahlonega............................................................................................. 460

Sumach Seminary (Murray County)............................................... 300

Columbus.....................................................

450

Coosa (Union County).....................................

300

Laurel Hill (Hall County),................................................................. 300

Hiwassa (Towns County)..............................

300

Agency of State School Commissioner.......................................... 1,600

Agency of other gentlemen............ ................................................ 2,000

Total............ :................................................................................ $8,000
All the sums named above as appropriated to schools were paid, except in th&case of Laurel Hill. At this school, the required average attendance was not made ; and, in consequence, only half the amount promised was paid. Of the sum promised the State School Commissioner, only $1,000 was applied for simply enough to cover expenses; and of that promised to

State School Commissioner.

19

secure the services of other gentlemen, only $550 was paid, as only six others rendered services. Of the entire amount appropriated, it is thus seen that $2,100 was not applied for, making the sum actually paid $5,900. In ex planation of the appropriations for agencies, it may be remarked that the leading object of Mr. Peabody in providing this fund was to aid in intro ducing public schools throughout the South, and the Trustees of the fund have judged that, in some cases, the employment of gentlemen to deliver public addresses and disseminate educational information was a wise means of accomplishing this object. When $2,000 was set aside for agencies by Dr. Sears, it was my opinion that the services of twenty men, located in various portions of the State, could be obtained. Only eleven, however were engaged, and of these, but six rendered service. No more has been paid to the State School Commissioner, or to other gentlemen, than what was thought sufficient to cover expenses.
The amounts set apart for the year 1877-8 were as follows :
Sumach Seminary (Murray County)..................................................$ 100 Stone Mountain (DeKalb County).................................................... 100 Rabun Gap (Rabun County)............................................................... 100 West Point............................................................................................. 400 Columbus................. _............................................................................ 200 Atlanta University (Normal Department)........................................ 200 North Georgia Agricultural College................................................ 200 Atlanta ................................................................................................ 600 Sauannah............................................................................................... 600 Augusta.................................................................................................. 500 Agency of State School Commissioner............................................ 1,000 Scholarships in the Normal College at Nashville, Tenn................ 2,000
Total................................................................... ........................... $6,000
In explanation of the last item IJwould state that Dr. Sears is contribut ing $200 each to the support of ten pupils from Georgia in the Normal Col lege of the State of Tennessee, at Nashville, and all of his appointees are receiving instructions without any charge for tuition. There are at present six young ladies and four young gentlemen in that institution from our State; and I mention, with pleasure, that one of the former received the first medal for proficiency at the late commencement. It is expected that these young persons will return to Georgia and engage permanently in the business of teaching. I cannot think of any other application of the same amount of money which would give promise of results so rich. I can not close this paragraph without asking the question, is [it wise for the State of Georgia, by failing to establish schools to provide for the special instruction f teachers, to permit her sons and daughters to go abroad for the purpose of receiving that kind of training ?
Prom year to year the wisdom of the Trustees of the Peabody Fund, in choosing Dr. Sears as their General Agent, becomes more fully vindicated. He has a ripe experience, having devoted his life to educational labors. He came among us without prejudice, and has won the approval, bott^f the hearts and the judgments of all with whom he has come in contact.
I close this subject by making the following quotation from my last an nual report:

20

State School Commissioner.

"For the information of those interested, I republish the 1 Rules for the

Distribution of the Fund,' and `Instructions to State Superintendents.'

The former is as follows: ` Donations are not^made to Colleges, Academies,

or any private, sectarian or charity schools. For well regulated public free

schools, continued about ten months of the year, and having a regular

attendance of not less than

100 pupils, averaging daily 85 per cent., we pay at most....................... $ 300

"

"" "

""

1,000

In doubtful cases of attendance, the average number decides the ques tion. The amount appropriated for larger numbers, in cities (never exceed ing $2,000), cannot be fixed, but must depend on circumstances. The people are to pay for current expenses at least twice, and usually'three times as much as they receive from the fund, and to bear all the expense of erect ing and repairing and furnishing school houses. They are to grade their schools, provide a teacher for every fifty pupils, and, make them model schools. It is necessary that application for assistance be made through the Superintendent of each State, near the beginning^ the school year. No claim for a share of the fund can be admitted where a special contract has not been previously made; and no contract is made for a longer period than one year. It may or may not be renewed. No notice, therefore, is given that an appropriation will not be continued."
The " Instructions to State Superintendents " were adopted at the meeting in August last. They are as follows :
"1. Makeall your engagements with public school officers only. 2. Listen to no request that we should alter our terms. 3. Forward to me no application which you do not fully approve and indorse.
4. Assist no school which will cease to exist when we cease to help it. 5. Accept no private school which proposes to become a public school for the time being only. 6. Give the preference to good and efficient schools. 7. Let M your engagements be for the future, and make no promises for past services.
8. Always keep in view the improvement of the State system of public schools,
9. If it seems expedient, you can diminish, but not increase, the pub lished rates of assistance.
10. Specify in every instance the amount you recommend to be given. 11. Different schools cannot be counted together to make up the requi
site number. Different grades of the same school may be counted to gether.
12. Money appropriated to one school cannot be given ,to any
other school; nor can money that is forfeited be transferred. It must remain unpaid.
13. %11 engagements authorized by me should 'be made in writing.

Oral promises and reported conversations between you and the appli cants cannot be recognized. They only lead to misunderstandings.

State School Commissioner.

21

14. No school officer is to charge a commission for receiving and

paying out money for the Peabody Fund. If the treasurer of a school

board demands a certain per cent, for what passes through his hands,

the money can be paid to the chairman."

When I receive the report of the proceedings of the Trustees at their

recent meeting, if I find any change has been made, either in the policy

adopted, or in the rules prescribed, I will, by circular, notify the County

School Commissioners.

I now close this report. Owing to circumstances which I could not

control, it has been written with great haste--so'great that the first draft

goes into the hands of the printer without revision. The subject mat

ter, however, has been well considered, but, in relation to any defects

of style, I must ask the indulgence of the reader on the grounds above

stated.

Office State School Commissioner, Atlanta, Ga., Oct. 12, 1878.
To his Excethnvy, Alfred H. Colquitt: Dear Sir--I have the honor of laying before you the foregoing ap
portionment of the school fund of 1878. ''e law requires the apportionment to be made on the 1st day of 'S soon thereafter as practicable. As this is the year for taking Sion of the school population, I knew that the desire would

LH

State School Commissioner.

be universal to have the apportionment made on the basis of the new enumeration. I therefore determined to delay making the apportion ment till this return was made.
I felt justified in this determination, as County School Commission ers are paid the quotas due their respective counties in orders on the Tax Collectors, which cannot be cashed until the collecting of the taxes is somewhat advanced. Just as soon as the new enumeration returns reached me, and all the counties and cities of the State, except the city of Americus, have made their returns, I proceeded to make the appor tionment, the result of which is given above.
With sentiments of the highest respect I am your obedient servant, GUSTAV US J. ORR, State School Oommimomr.

ERRATUM. In the 29th line from the top of page 3, for Sumpter read Elbert.
