DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION, Atlanta, Ga., November 3, 1880.
To His Excellency, Alfred H. Colquitt : Dear Sir,--I have the honor of placing in your
hands, for transmission to the General Assembly, my Report as State School Commissioner, for the years 1879 and 1880.
With sentiments of the highest respect, I am Very truly yours,
Gustavus J. Orr,
State School Commissioner.

NOTE.
Of this Report a limited number of copies has been bound without the tables for 1880, for the use of the-General Assembly. The schools for 1880 will not all close till the end of the year. As soon as they have closed, the subordinate school officers can forward their reports. A full set of tables for 1880 can then be prepared. As soon as this can be done, the report, complete for 1879 and 1880, will be bound and distributed.

REPORT
In my last two reports I gave the enrollment in our public schools for successive years since their inauguration, bringing the statement down in each case to the date of the report. Inasmuch as a statement of this kind presents in brief compass a view of the rapid and continuous growth of the system ; and inasmuch as many readers who may not have access to our whole set of successive reports, may desire this information, I again repeat the statement. There have been enrolled, then, in our public schools in successive years since the commencement of our public school work as follows: In 1871, white pupils, 42,Old ; colored, 6,664; total, 49,576: 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; in crease over the attendance of 1873, 51,864 : in 1875, white, 105,990; colored, 50,385; total, 156,394; increase over the attendance of 1874, 20,808: in 1876, white, 121,418 ; colored, 57,987; total, 179,405; increase over the attend ance of 1875, 23,011: in 1877, white, 128,296; colored, 62,330; total, 190,626; increase over the attendance of 1876, 11,221: in 1878, whke, 137,217; colored, 72,655; total, 209,872; increase over the attendance in 1877, 19,246: in 1879, white, 147,192; colored, 79,435; total, 226,627; increase over the attendance in 1878, 16,755.

By adding together the sums total in the proper columns of tables Nos. 1 and 2 of the statistical tables for 1880, pub lished herein, the reader may find for himself the results of that year corresponding to those given for the successive years above named.
From information in relation to the receipts and expend itures for school purposes communicated to this Department by the Comptroller-General, I am enabled to make the fol lowing statement:
For the school year beginning July 1st, 1878, and ending July 1st, 1879, there was received as follows :
From Half Rental W. & A. It. It.................... $150,000 00 From Tax on shows and exhibitions................ 1,716 74 From Liquor Tax............................................... 7,474 50

$159,191 24 Total expenses including salaries of State School
Commissioner and Clerk, and office expenses, and for printing blanks to be distributed and used throughout the State............................ 3,920 93

Amount apportioned among the counties for

school purposes.................................................. $155,264 31

For the school year, beginning July 1st, 1879, and ending

July 1st, 1880, the following is the corresponding statement:

There was received as follows :

From tax on shows and exhibitions................ $1,467 00

" Liquor tax.........................

35,384 29

" Dividends on Ga. Railroad stock............ 3,441 00

" Half rental W. & A. R. R..................... 150,000 00

$190,292 27 Total expenses, including, as before, salaries of State School Commissioner and Clerk, office expenses, and printing blanks for the en tire State.............................................................. $4,502 73

Leaving to be apportioned among the counties $185,789 54

The Statements above,- as I have said, were obtained from the office of the Comptroller-General. One item of expense of $843.65, set down as belonging to the second period above mentioned, really belongs to the first. The warrant covering the expenditure bore date of the second period, and thus the expenditure was reported as of that period.
I am required, by law, to keep an itemized account of all the expenditures of this office, including salaries, postage for the transmission of letters, and all mail matter, and all incidentals, embracing, m short, every expense except that of printing. My books, which are open to inspection, show that this expense amounted, for the period first named above, to $3,412.90; and for the second period, to $3,465.10. Add ing these two sums together, and we have $6,878.00. Sub tracting this from the whole expense of the two periods, as reported by the Comptroller, viz : $8,429.66, and there remains $1,551.66, which would seem to be the expense of printing for the two periods. The real expense of printing, as charged on the books of the Public Printer, is $504.70 for the first period ; and $617.86 for the second. The seem ing discrepance grows out of the fact that the Comptroller reports the sum of. the warrants for the two periods, while the Public Printer's account shows the expense of the print ing actually done. The entire actual expense, then, is as follows : for the first period, $3,917.60, and for the second, $4,082,96.
The poll-tax is a part of the school fund, but it is not included in the apportionment made at this office, as the law requires it to be retained and applied to the support of schools in the counties where it is collected. I learn at the Comptroller's office that the number of polls entered on the book of the Peceivers of Tax Keturns, for the year 1879, was 223,335. The entire number allowed by the variolas ordinaries, as an insolvent list, amounted to 50,525. After allowing for cost of assessing and collecting, the net sum paid into the hands of the various County School Commis-

8
sionej's to be used for school purposes was $160,484.37. If this be added to the sum apportioned at this office, it will make $315,748.31, as the amount provided by the State, that year, for the support of schools. The school population being 433,444, the enrollment being 226,627, and the aver age attendance 132,000, this appropriation amounts to 73 centsyw capita upon school population, $1.39 upon enroll ment, and $2.39 upon average attendance.
Supposing the net amount collected on polls to be the same in 1880 as in 1879, and adding this to $185,789.54, the amount apportioned for the first named year, and we have $346,273.91 as the appropriation for that year. This makes 80 cents yw capita on school population.
We have not as yet realized a full year's yield of the liquor tax appropriated by the last General Assembly to the support of schools. That yield will be about $65,000. .Now add tq this $155,000, the maximum apportionment made at this office before the appropriation of the liquor tax to schools, and $160,000, which may be counted on as the net yield of the poll-tax, and we have $380,000 as the total amount of the State appropriation that we may reasonably expect to realize under existing laws. Now, judging by the continuous increase in school attendance, from year to year in the past, I think we may safely put down 240,000, in round numbers, as the probable enrollment for next year, and 160,000 as the average attendance. This would give us--and the estimate is a liberal one---a, per capita on school population of 88 cents, on eni'ollment of $1.60, and on aver age attendance of $3.00.
Certain cities and counties in the State raise for school purposes by local taxation an aggregate sum of about $150,000. Ad^ this to $380,000, the amount of the State appro priation used in the last estimate above, and we have $530,000. Dividing this by the school population of the State and by the numbers used as enrollment and average attend ance in the last estimate above, and we have $1.22, $2.20,

9
and $3.31 as the probable sums to be paid, respectively, on school population, enrollment and average attendance for another year under existing laws.
In discussing the facts given above and all that is sug gested by them, I shall be compelled to go over again much of the ground occupied in former official Reports. Our educational condition and the needs of our school system have not materially changed since my first biennial Report was submitted to the last General Assembly. The new Con stitution made certain changes and, in seeking to provide for the needs of the system just mentioned, it became necessary to adapt the measures proposed to these changes. This necessitated a pretty'full discussion of these needs in connection with wdiat may be done under the Constitution toward supplying them. If, therefore, I shall repeat much of what was said in the last Report, I hope it will be under stood that I have consented to sacrifice literary propriety to practical utility. Unless I repeat, to some extent, the dis cussions of that Report, these discussions will not reach the members of the present General Assembly, as the orig inal edition of that Report is so well nigh exhausted as to leave but a very few numbers on hand.
In discussing what has been above presented, I would first call attention to the very remarkable fact of the con tinuous increase, from year to year, in the attendance upon the schools, beginning with 49,576 in 1871, and ending with 226,627 in 1879. Does any one doubt that vast mul titudes of these children, without a school system, would never have entered a school room? Without such a sys tem, what would have become of the 79,435 colored chil dren who were in the schools of 1879 ? Without it, what would have been the fate of nearly one-third of the 147,192 white children whose parents are as poor as the great bulk of the colored population ?
The provision of our law which requires the withholding from a county of its pro rata of the State appropriation

10
till arrangements have been made "by taxation, or other wise," for keeping np public schools free to all children of school age, throughout the entire county, for at least three months of the year, has enabled us to have schools estab lished, for years past, in every militig. district throughout the State. It is a grand result that every child in the State has had the privilege vouchsafed to it of attending school at least three months of'the year, and that 226,627 of them asserted, and at least partially enjoyed, the privilege in 1879, I must repeat, here, what I have often said before the people, and what I may have said likewise in former Reports, that though my reading of the reports of school operations has been extensive, I.have yet to learn where the same amount of money expended by us has, in any State of the Union, been made to accomplish equal results. Men have, very often, risen up to criticise what has been done. I do not remember a single case where any of these critics have been able to suggest anything better. It is easy to seek to pull down, but very hard to build up that which is of real value. If the energy expended in seeking to overthrow were applied, in a well meant effort, to aid in building up, we should perhaps make much more satisfactory progress.. The people have spoken, first in convention, and after wards at the ballot-box. The language uttered in conven tion and proposed as a part of the fundamental law was tothe effect that we muni have a thorough, public school system, and, what was thus proposed, was ratified at the ballot-box by 80,000 majority. It seems then, to me, to be the duty of every good citizen, every citizen who thinks it right to render obedience "to the powers that be," what ever may be his private views, to at least acquiesce in what has been accomplished. No one is more sensible of the great defects in what has been done, or has regretted them more, or has labored harder to supply them than the writer. Some of those who criticise have suggested that our present system is too expensive, and have proposed, in order to

11
perfect, it, to lop off a little expense here, and a little there. I have repeatedly shown that the whole expense of the system, including State and county supervision, printing blanks and forms, the custody and disbursing of funds, and, in short, every out-lay, amounts to about seven per cent, of the fund. Now, while there may have been too large an outlay, now and then, for certain purposes, I challenge the objector to point to any branch of the public service in the past, where an equal amount of labor has been performed, and an equal amount of responsibility in holding and dis bursing funds has been incurred, at an expense to the State as small. I am in favor of economy that is economy ; but it is not by any means every proposed reduction of expense which can be so classified. When men come forward, however, and propose io perfect a system which provides a State appropriation of 88 cents per capita by lopping off little expenses here and there, I must be excused from going with them to the conclusions which they seem to to have reached. I have shown, repeatedly, that our system is a good one. I have demonstrated, time and again, that in its main features it has the approval of the leading educators of the Union--of men who have devoted their lives to the work of supervision and instruction. Its great need is more money for its support, and this need I have been urging upon the people, and upon the successive General Assemblies, by tongue and pen for the last nine years. And this must be the burden of my appeal in coming before the present General Assembly. We cannot make an efficient school system with the present appropria tion. Feeling very deeply the truth of this statement, I propose now to discuss briefly the different modes by which our present very inadequate appropriations may be increased.
In my last Report to the General Assembly, I showed how the words of the Constitution of 1877, which set apart and devote "any educational fund now belong ing to the State (except the endowment of, and debt

12
due to, the University of Georgia) to the support of Com mon Schools" took effect on the half rental of the Western & Atlantic Railroad, which was then a school fund, by law, and converted it from a statutory into a Constitutional School Fund. This Constitutional provision absolutely secures to us this half rehtal as a part of the school fund till the expiration of the present lease.
From this and the one hundred and eighty-six shares of the capital stock of the Georgia Railroad & Banking Co., made a school fund in the same way, and from the tax on shows and exhibitions we may safely count upon a school .fund every year of about $155,000.
The Constitution also sets apart and devotes to school purposes the poll-tax. I have already shown, in the fore going part of this Report, that out of the 223,335 polls re turned in 1879, 50,525 were allowed on the insolvent list, and that there was made a net collection of only $160,484.37. It is thus seen that there is, in the collection of this tax, a most unreasonable default. The question arises, canot measures be taken which will insure a much more thorough collection of this tax ? I believe that an affirma tive answer may be given to this question. I would reccommend, as a means of accomplishing this result, the fol lowing: Let the law be so changed as to make the enter ing of the poll-tax upon the book of the' Receiver of Tax Returns, operate at once as a lien upon all the property of every kind owned by the tax-payer and upon any debt's due him, or that shall afterwards become due to him. Let it be further enated, that each year, as soon as the insolvent list is allowed to the Tax Collector, that officer be required to turn over to the County School Commissioner, the names of all defaulters on the poll-tax ; together with the Jl. fas. issued against them, and let the latter officer be empowered to use all measures now known to the laws, either by himself, or other duly authorized officer, for levying and collecting the same.

13
The County School Commissioner, as a stimulant to the zeal already felt by him in the cause of education, should be permitted to retain for himself a liberal percentage, to be fixed by the General Assembly, of the amounts collect ed on these fi.fas. as compensation for his time and labor. He should also be required to keep an account in a book of the number of polls turned over to him, from time to time, and cf the number oifi. fas. levied, and of all sums thus realized, and make a full report of the same to the grand jury at each term of the Superior Court. I can see no reason why a law of the kind just recommended might not make a net yield from the poll tax of at least $200,000.
The Constitution also authorizes the levy of a tax "on the sale of spirituous and malt liquors" for educational pur poses. In my last Report I recommended the passage of a law similar to what was known as the Moffit liquor law of Yirginia and the appropriation of the proceeds to the sup port of common schools. I had evidence then in my possession to show that Virginia had collected from this tax in three-fourths of a year about $370,000. Prominent citizens of that State, including the leading State officials, expressed to me, in letters and in private interviews, the opinion that the law, with certain amendments providing for greater efficiency in the collections, could be made to yield from $600,000 to $700,000. I took the trouble of investi gating the comparative statistics of the liquor traffic in the two states of Virginia and Georgia, as found in the office of the Commissioner of Internal Revenue at Washington, and by this means I fully satisfied myself that what hVl been done in Virginia could be duplicated in Georgia. I did not see why, at the time of making the recommendation, such a law could not be made to yield us an immense school in come. I am not satisfied still that such a law cannot be made to operate in this State, and to operate successfully. Since I made the recommendation, however, the State of

14
Yirginia has repealed the law referred to. I have deter mined, therefore, not to urge the passage of a similar law here, at this time.
Our own General Assembly, instead of carrying out my recommendation, passed a law levying a jper capita tax of $25 upon all lirpior dealers, and appropriated the money thus raised to the support of common schools. It is this tax that I have already mentioned as yielding, under the present provisions of law, about $65,000 per annum.' I refer to the subject for the purpose of making certain, recommendations looking to an increase in the yield of the law, and in the efficiency of its operation. The income from this source could, in my opinion, be greatly increased by the following changes in the law : In the first place, let the tax be made $50pe?: capita, instead of $25. Then, in order to insure a thorough collection, require every dealer, under heavy penalties for failure, to register his name, as a dealer, in a book to be kept by the Ordinary for that pur pose ; and make it the duty of the Ordinary to report to the Comptroller-General, at the end of each quarter of the year, the number of persons and the names of the persons that have so registered, to be entered on record in the office of the latter officer. This tax should be collected and paid into the State Treasury quarterly, and the Tax Collector should be required, at every settlement, to report to the ComptrollerGeneral the several amounts collected, and from whom col lected. A law of the kind just recommended would undoubtedly insure faithfulness in the collections and would greatly increase the income, bringing it up to at least $130,000, and perhaps to $150,000.
The Constitution also provides for levying a tax for edu cational purposes, upon "such domestic animals as, from their nature and habits, are de-i ructive to other property." In my last Report, in order to the carrying out of this pro vision of the Constitution, I recommended the levying of a tax of one dollar a head upon dogs. The State of Ohio

15
has such a law and realizes therefrom a large revenue. Such a law would not only increase the school fund, but it would have the effect of encouraging sheep husbandry, an industry which is already yielding great profits in this State and which is, to a considerable extent, attracting the attention of capitalists abroad. It would also diminish greatly the number of dogs--as the owners of useless animals of this kind would get rid of them--and would thereby result in a great saving of food now wasted in this-way.
Some have made the objection to this tax that it could" not be collected, inasmuch as many persons who would be liable to it have no property out of which the money could be made. I think a law might be framed which would secure very close collections. For instance, the law might require the Tax Collector to turn over the names of all defaulters on the dog-tax to the overseer of the road-beat in which they reside, and make it the duty of this last named officer to summon all of said defaulters to meet him at a certain time to work upon the highways, and to require them to labor till they have worked out, according to the ordinary prices of labor, double the value of the tax. The law might further provide, in order to the relief of harsh ness of operation, that the producing of satisfactory evi dence to the overseer of the road that the dog on which the tax was due had been killed, should relieve the tax payer from the payment of the tax by labor. I do not doubt but that a law of this kind could be made to yield a revenue of at least $200,000.
The last two taxes discussed, viz.: the liquor-tax and the dog-tax, have two things connected with them to which I would invite special attention, and which very strongly re commend them. Ip the first place they are both voluntary. The liquor-tax really falls upon the consumer in the in crease of the price which it causes, and he can get rid of paying it by ceasing to drink the liquor, while any one lia ble to the dog-tax can get rid of it by disposing of his dog.

17
raise them above the commission of crime, than to tax for its punishment and suppression ?
I would, further, call attention in this connection to other statistics. In 1878 I had the number of illiterates over 18 years of age taken and returned to this office. The number reported was as follows : Whites, 20,839; colored, 148,494; total, 169,333. Nearly one-half of these are voters. Are our institutions safe with this amount of illit eracy among the voting population ? Is not the removal of it necessary to our self-preservation as a State ? And can not the State tax property in order to save itself from over throw? Is it not wise in the citizen to consent to such a tax when we remember that the protection of life, of liberty, of property, in short of everything which we hold dear, is involved in good government 2 I might go on to multiply arguments in favor of the propriety and righf of taxing property for educational purposes, as I have done on a hundred other occasions. But why should I do so ? The people have said in the fundamental law to which I have already referred that there shall be a thor ough system of common schools ; and in order to provide the necessary means, they have given the right to tax pro perty, and this is an end to the argument.
I have said above that I sought to have the last General Assembly authorize the levy of a tax on property of onetenth of one per cent, for the support of common schools and I now renew the recommendation. One-tenth of one per cent, would be one dollar on each one thousand dollars worth of taxable property, and would be very little felt by the people, while it would yield a net income of at least $200,000 in round numbers.
Now let us sum up and see what -would be our school re sources should the General Assembly give us the various revenues for which we have asked. We should have as follows:

Now let us sum up and see what wmuld be our school re sources should the General Assembly give us the various revenues for which we have asked. We should have as follows:

18
From half rental "W. & A. Ti R., tax on shows and Georgia Railroad dividends............ $155,000
" poll-tax under amended law................. 200,000 " tax on liquor dealers under new law. . 130,000 " " " dogs .......................................... 200,000 " property tax............................................. 200,000
Total................................................................$885,000
What could^be done with this amount of money? The school population being, as already several times stated, 433,444, should the enrollment and average attendance for next year be respectively 240,000 and 160,000, as I have supposed in another place in this Report, we should have a per capita as follows: on school population $2.04, on en rollment, $3.68 and on average attendance $5.53. I do not hesitate to say that the sum of money mentioned in this es timate would sustain common schools in the different coun ties for an average term of five months. One dollar month ly per scholar, I feel sure, would secure five months' term for our schools.
Actual experience in the past would seem to justify a more favorable estimate than that just given. When our school fund has aggregated about $300,000, we have paid the teach ers in the different counties in amounts varying from onehalf to the whole of what was due them for the three months' term. The cost of living in different portions of the State is quite variable ; and this causes the cost of all kinds of la bor, including the labor of teaching, to vary proportionate ly. As the school fund is apportioned on the basis of school population, it is thus seen how one Goxmiy's,prorata will pay the teachers for a longer term than the pro rata of another. The fact has been as I have stated it above. If $300,000 would pay the expenses of schools from one and a half to three months, $900,000 would pay for terms varying from four and one-half to nine months. The at tendance, in the preceding estimate, is put down as much

19
greater than formerly, an assumption justified by past ex perience. Remembering this, and the further fact that the average period for which the public fund would have paid, in the past, was considerably less than an arithmetical mean, I think ! am justified in concluding that the foregoing esti mate is safe and reliable.
I have now discussed the different modes provided in the Constitution for raising an adequate State school fund, and I have given frankly my own views as to what should be done. I am not wedded to the views which I have present ed. If anything better, in part, or in whole, can be sug gested I will promptly give up my plans and come to the support of those better. It has been suggested by intelli gent gentlemen in different parts of the State that it would be better to appropriate the other half-rental of the W. & A. R. R. and the whole sum of all special taxes, such as the taxes on the privilege of pursuing certain callings and professions, to school purposes than to levy a school tax on property. This would give us about the same amount of money as the tax of one-tenth of one per cent, on property, which has been recommended, and has many things in its favor. Should this or any other reasonable substitution, either in part or in whole, be agreed upon, I shall give a hearty co-operation in adopting and executing whatever may be proposed. I desire to press it upon the attention of the General Assembly, however, that we must have a State school fund of about $900,000. Without it, we can not approximate what the Constitution requires, viz.: the providing of a thorough system of common schools. I know it has been said that we are in no condition to accom plish this at present--that we are not able to do it. In the counties of Chatham, Richmond and Bibb, and in the cities of Atlanta and Columbus we are teaching in the public schools three times as many children as were taught by pri vate teachers before public schools were inaugurated and for a less sum of money. While we cannot cheapen nigh

20
as much, taking the -whole State for the field of our opera tions, I have demonstrated, time and again, that we can make a very great reduction. It follows, then, that if we are too poor to do what has been asked, we are too poor to educate the youth of the ^tate at all. I do not believe that the members of the present General Assembly will be con tent to rest in this conclusion.
What has been presented above is the sum of what I have to ask in relation to the providing of a State school fund. In all the States of the Union having school sys tems of longstanding, from one-half to three-fourths of the entire sum expended on schools is raised by self-imposed local levies. Experience has shown this to be the wisest policy everywhere. Our newT Constitution, Sec. 4, Art. 8, in pursuance of the same policy, gives the General Assem bly the right of granting to the counties and to municipal corporations, under . certain restrictions, the power " to es tablish and maintain public schools in their respective limits by local taxation." I have repeatedly, in past years, sought to have this power granted by statute but have been hither to invariably unsuccessful. During the sitting of the last General Assembly I prepared, with very great care, a bill for this purpose, and had it introduced into the House by a friend. It was never acted upon finally, but as it embraces, in my opinion, the best that can be done under the Consti tution, I subjoin a copy of it as the best means of express ing my views on this subject: .

Sec. 1. Be it enacted, by the General Assembly of the State of Georgia, that authority is hereby granted to the counties, upon the recommendation of two grand juries, and to the municipal corporations of the State, upon the

21
recommendation of the corporate authority, to establish and maintain public schools in their respective limits by lo cal taxation.
Sec. 2. When two grand juries of any county have recommended the establishment of a system of public schools for the county, .and have named in their recommen dation the rate per centum of the tax to be levied upon the property of the county for that purpose, it shall be the duty of the Receiver of Tax Returns and of the Tax Col lector of the county to assess and collect the same, at the time they assess and collect other taxes. These officers shall assess and collect the tax according to the rate of tax ation agreed upon by the two juries, if there be an agree ment, but according to the lower rate if the juries have dif fered as to rate. If any municipal corporation of the coun ty has established a school system, as hereinafter provided, or as provided in laws now existing, no tax shall be assessed and levied on property within the corporate limits of said municipalities for the support of the county system. The money collected from this county school tax shall be paid over to the County School Commissioner, and shall be ap plied to the support of the schools of the county under the direction of the County Board of Education, and according to the provisions of the school laws of the State.
Sec. 3. When the corporate authority of any town or city of the State has recommended the establishment of public schools within the corporate limits, it shall be the duty of the Mayor and Aldermen, or other corporate au thorities, to provide by ordinance for the creation of a Board of Education, with full powers to establish and con duct said schools for the benefit of the citizens of the cor poration. The ordinance herein authorized may confer upon the Board of Education, which it creates, full power to make such rules and adopt such measures as may be necessary to the successful conduct of the schools ; provided that such rules or measures are not in conflict with the

22
school laws of the State, or with the Constitution. The corporate authority, when they recommend the establish ment of public schools, shall fix the rate per centum of the tax to be levied for their support; and it shall be the duty of the officers charged with the duty of assessing and col lecting other municipal taxes to assess and collect the same, and the moneys thus collected shall be paid over to the cus todian of the school fund appointed under municipal authority, and shall be applied under the direction of the Board of Education to the support of the public schools according to the school ordinance, the school laws of the State and -the Constitution. Any municipal corporation putting schools in operation under this act, shall be entitled to receive, through the proper officer of the corporation,, the quota of the State school fund, apportioned from time to time to said corporation.
Sec. 4. This act shall not go into effect in any county, or within the limits of any municipal corporation, till the conditions in respect to the recommendation by two grand juries, in the one case, or the corporate authority in the other, have been complied with, and not in that case till the question of its going into effect has been submitted to the vote of persons qualified to vote at other elections and twothirds of the persons qualified to vote have voted in favor thereof. When two grand juries, in the case of a county, or the corporate authority in the case of a town or city, have recommended the establishment and maintenance of public schools, as herein provided, the Ordinary, or Board of County Commissioners, in the former case, or the Mayor or other chief executive officer of the corporation, in the latter case, shall order an election on the adoption of the provisions of this act, publishing the act in the paper in which the county advertising is done, for thirty days before the election is to take place. The election shall be conducted by the same managers as other elections. The voters in favor of the adoption of the act shall write on.

23
their tickets, u For adoption," and those opposed to adop tion, "Against adoption." The managers, in the case of a county, shall report the result of the election to the County Board of Education, to be recorded in the minutes of the Board, and, in the case of a municipal corporation, to the Clerk of said corporation for record. When two-thirds of the persons qualified to vote have thus been found to be in favor of the adoption of this act, it shall at once go into operation.
Seo. 5. All laws and parts of laws in conflict with this act are hereby repealed."
It will be observed that this bill is, in its character, very conservative--even more so than the Constitution. It re quires the grand juries to fix the per centum of tax which they recommend, and in case of a difference in the per cen tum recommended, it provides that the smaller shall be sub mitted to the people. It also requires the corporate author ities, in the case of a municipality, to fix the per centum of tax to be voted upon. I can see no reason why the people, under the conditions imposed, may not be permitted to say what they will do with their own in a matter so vital as the providing of the facilities of education for their children.
One other remark on the bill I beg leave to make before dismissing it. The Constitution limits what may be done educationally by the State, or by a county, to the elemen tary branches of an English education. No such limitation is put on what a municipal corporation may do. Should the bill become a law, therefore, any town in the State, with a sufficient population, might provide a good system of graded schools, including high school privileges; and there are, within my knowledge, at least forty towns in the State that might, by a well devised system of public in struction, constructed in accordance with the provisions of this bill, greatly cheapen the education of the youth within their their limits, and, at the same time, become feeders to our State University and to our various colleges.

24
In connection with the modes of increasing the school revenues herein suggested, it seems appropriate that I should again call attention to a measure of the same kind now pending before the Congress of the United States. I allude to what is known as the Goode bill. This bill sets apart the entire proceeds of the sales of the public lands for the support of common schools, the fund to be appor tioned among the States for the first ten years on the basis of illiteracy, and afterwards upon the basis of school popu lation, and to be applied to the object designated under the school laws of the various States. If the bill should be come a law, Georgia "would realize under it annually, according to an estimate made by General Eaton, United States Commissioner of Education, about $80,000. I have felt"great interest in the adoption of a measure of this kind from the very beginning of the agitation on the subject; and have uniformly done all in my power towards the bringing about of that result. The last General Assembly adopted resolutions requesting our Senators and Represen tatives in Congress to give their earnest support to any well guarded measure, proposing the objects above set forth, and I now refer to the subject to ask the present General Assembly to do the same.
I have now concluded all I have to say in reference to financial plans for rendering our school system more efficient. With the additions to the State School Fund asked for herein, and the privilege bestowed upon the people of adding thereto at pleasure. I shall confidently look forward to a future, at most, not many years distant, when the State of Georgia shall take her position, educa tionally, among the more advanced of her sister States.
A great educational want, deeply felt throughout the entire State of Georgia, is a sufficient corps of thoroughly prepared teachers. With partially qualified teachers, money applied to schools is not most effectively applied ; and when the want of qualification rises to a certain height,

25
money thus applied is absolutely squandered. In many of the States teachers' institutes have been used, for years past, as a most efficient instrumentality for the improve ment of the body of the teachers. These institutes are simply schools kept up for brief periods of the year for the benefit of teachers actually in the field. Within the past twelve months institutes of this kind have been held in the States of Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina and Arkansas, with most beneficial effect. I had the privilege of attending for a short time the one held at Spartanburg, South Carolina. I was deeply impressed with the work done there. A body of teachers collected together and instructed, even for a brief period, by proficients in the new methods, cannot fail to be deeply impressed for good themselves, and to so impress by example all their fellowworkers who come within the sphere of their influence, after they have dispersed to their several fields of labor. I desire very much to see from three to five of these insti tutes held in,.our State the next year. In order to accom plish this, it will be necessary to use a small sum of money, for the experienced teachers who do the teaching must be paid a reasonable compensation for their services. For this purpose, I ask the General Assembly to set apart $1,500. I have no doubt but that the Trustees of the Peabody Fund could be induced to add a small supplemental sum. The whole, or a part of the fund thus set aside, might be used in the discretion of the State School Commissioner, the mode of disbursement to be accounted for in a state ment, in detail, to be made to the next General Asse nbly.
The appropriations made by the Trustees of the Peabody Fund for the benefit of the State of Georgia in the last two years were as follows :

$5,800 00
The appointees to scholarships at Nashville receive $200 each, and free tuition. On entering the Institution they sign a written statement to the effect tlmt it is their purpose to devote their lives to teaching. Inasmuch as it would evidently be improper to bind one to a certain pur suit for life, they are required to bind themselves absolutely to teach, only for two years. It is expected, however, that all who thus enjoy the benefits of free education, shall, in good faith, devote themselves to teaching, unless circum stances shall so change as to absolve them from their obli gation, and thus make it proper and right for them to change their calling. The making of appointments to scholarships, and the mode of making them, has been left to the State School Commissioner, and they have always been made upon a competitive examination, except in cases where the time allowed was too short.
For the $1,000 appropriated to the support of scholar ships in Atlanta University, President Ware has kindly con sented to take fourteen pupils and board and instruct them. The conditions of receiving the benefit are the same as in
/

27
the case of the Nashville appointees, and a similar mode of appointing has been pursued.
The amount mentioned as appropriated to the State Agency was for the purpose of paying the traveling expen ses of the State School Commissioner, and of enabling him to procure' the additional clerical aid necessitated by his absence, while conducting an educational canvass of the State. By means of the aid thus furnished, I have visited forty-six places, many of them in remote portions of the State, and delivered sixty-eight addresses on popular edu cation, and all without the expense of one dollar to the State.
The late General Agent of the Peabody Fund, always alive to everything that looked to the promotion of popular education, also kindly put at my disposal for award, on the ground of excellence, to the pupils of iii'st-class public schools, seventy-five Peabody medals. These were sent by me for award to the schools of the counties of Bibb, Chath am, Glynn and Richmond, and of the cities of Atlanta, Columbus and West Point.
The award in the city of Atlanta was as follows:--

Emma Clarke.

If the award had been made in the cities of Columbus and West Point at the close of the school year, it would
have been made on the basis of only half a year's work. The school authorities, therefore, declined to make the award and are holding the medals over till opportunity is given for a full year's competition.
The medals having been awarded only in part in the city of Savannah, I prefer to withhold the statement from pub lication till it is complete.
It is proper to say that the statements above are jus't as they were furnished by the several City and County Super intendents.
The question of the removal of the Peabody Normal Col lege, located at Nashville, Tenn., to the State of Georgia, which was agitated during the past twelve months, is one which awakened much interest in the public mind. As the head of the common school system of the State of Georgia, it fell to my lot to take a leading part in the negotiations looking to removal. As the matter was one of State con cern, it will be expected of me that I give an official ac count of what was done. The duty is a delicate one. There were quite a number of parties interested in the dif ferent questions that arose during the pendency of the ne gotiations. To do all these even-handed justice and, at the same time give a faithful account of what took place, is the problem before me. The best solution of the problem, as it seems to me, is to permit the parties, as far as possible, to speak for themselves. I have determined, therefore, to tell the story by giving extracts from the correspondence, put

30
ting in only such words of my own as may be necessary to keep up the connection and make the whole intelligible.
"Removal was first suggested by Dr. Sears, Gen'l Agent of the Peabody Trustees, in a letter addressed to me, dated Nov. 9th, 1878. In it he says: "Will not Georgia utilize its unoccupied buildings and establish a Normal School 1 If Tennessee does not soon make an appropriation for the Nashville Normal College, the question will be open for its removal so far as we are concerned."
Again, Feb. 18th, 1879, in a letter of that date, he says : " If the Tennessee Legislature makes no appropriation to the Nashville Normal College, the question of removal may come up before our Trustees at their next meeting.
"If we should find it necessary to remove it to some other State, do you think the city of Atlanta would furnish a suitable site and buildings in consideration of the advantage of having it there, and that the State would appropriate $6,000 a year for current expenses, if the Peabody Trustees would do the same V
Under date of March 3d, following, I replied as follows: " What you say in relation to the removal of the Normal College, in a certain contingency, impresses me very much. There is some doubt about the constitutional power to es tablish a school of the kind separate from the University. There is no doubt about the power to establish it, making it a part of the University. I am having the question of constitutional power investigated by one of our ablest law yers. I am confident I can have the appropriation made. I will write you in fall soon."
Dr. Stearns, Chancellor of the University at Nashville and Head of the Normal College, writes to me under date of March 17th, 1879 : " I am, at present, hard at work upon our Legislature, trying to induce them to devote a portion of the income of the school fund to aid in our support. Concerning the result, I am not very sanguine--but I mean to do all I can, if Tennessee loses the College, to save my self from blame."

31
April 5th, 1879, I wrote to Dr. Sears : " I write this to say that the contemplated removal of the Normal College at Nashville is gaining some currency here, and to ask of you not to commit yowself to any particular schema or policy in regard to this matter, should you be approached by persons from this State, till ypu hear from me. I shall first seek to find out, from gentlemen of eminent legal abil ity, the possibilities under our Constitution, as to the carry ing forward of such an enterprise by the State ; and then I shall make my suggestions and recommendations solely with a view to the best interests ofpopular education P
April 18th, 1879,1 again wrote to Dr. Sears: " I am not ready to speak in relation to the question of the removal of the Normal College to this State. All the gentlemen whose opinion I have asked on the constitutional question have ' not answered."
April 22d, 1879, Dr. Sears writes, in reply to the letter of the State School Commissioner of April 5th : " I am en tirely uncommitted in regard to the Normal School and shall continue to be so. I am obliged to you for the cau tion."
May 31st, 1879, I wrote to Dr. Sears: "I have been carefully considering the matter of the removal of the Nor mal College. Several of the legal gentlemen consulted by me have not yet given me their opinion as to the possibili ties under our new Constitution. They doubtless will. Ex-Governors Brown, Smith, and Johnson have responded. They all agree that the State cannot appropriate money to establish a Normal College as a separate school; but that it can be thus appropriated to establish a Normal College as a branch of the University. Two of them think that the Normal College could be placed under a different Board of Trustees, connecting it with the University by simply plac ing it under the supervision of the same Chancellor, while the third thinks that the Normal College would have to be put under the direction of the Trustees of the University.

32
1 would prefer to have it established as a separate school. It could be made to do well, put under a different Board of Trustees, but connected with the University as to supervis ion. I doubt whether it could be made effective, placed under the same Board. It would be an accident if the Trustees of the University were public school men. The men who manage the Normal School ought to be in full sympathy with our public schools. I could not recommend your Board to appropriate money to an institution to be managed by men not out and out advocates of public schools. As we cannot have a separate school, I am for the school, placed under its own Board and connected with the University in the matter of supervision only, if this can be established--and I believe it can. I should insist upon the law being so framed as to put public school men in the Board of Trustees. I feel confident that I can get an appropriation of the amount named by you, viz. $6,000, ^ to be duplicated by your Board. There is a building in Athens that could be utilized in this connection. The ex ecutive mansion and the old capitol at Milledgeville could be thus employed. It may be that Atlanta would furnish the buildings. I know that the other buildings could be obtained. I have written as above to prepare you, to some extent, to make suggestions at the approaching meeting of your Board. Let me hear from you."
Dr. Sears replied June 6th, 1879, to my letter of May 31st: "Your letter concerning the Normal School is received. No reply to it seems at present necessary. Atlanta would, of course, be the best location for such a school. I do not know how good the buildings at Milledgeville are for such a purpose, but I suppose the place is somewhat inaccessible. What Tennessee will do, I do not yet know."
The State School Commissioner, in a letter of June 5th, having recommended the appropriation of the bulk of the quota of the Peabody Fund assigned to Georgia to the sus taining of scholarships in the Normal College, Dr. Sears,

33
in a letter of June 10th, after referring to similar possible recommendations from other States, says:
"Now this will hasten the question of removal. One of our great embarrassments at Nashville is the occupancy of a part of the College buildings by the Montgomery Bell Academy, and the refusal of the University Trustees to remove it. They say they are bound by contract, and I suppose they are. A Jarge increase of scholarships from abroad, will make it absolutely necessary to remove, or have more room provided for us. The people of Tennessee seem either to be indifferent, or to think it is all mere talk about removing. This influx of students from other States will be a practical proof of a tendency towards a great Cen. tral Southern Normal School, making it desirable for any State and city to have it. As Tennessee is making no move ment whatever, it is my opinion that if Atlanta could be fixed on as a location, you would get this great and prosper ous school in Georgia. It will probably have a department, at least, for advanced scholars, especially for those enjoying scholarships, above ordinary State normal schools, so that if other States establish such, still this will tower above them all. I think the Peabody Trustees will concentrate its greatest patronage on this one school. Let other States have schools of their own for the great body of their dis trict or country teachers, or primary city teachers, while teachers of a high order shall resort to this more elevated institution. A dozen teachers from each State thus thor oughly trained would operate like leaven in their respective States, and lead on in the improvement of the rank and file teachers who have had less opportunities for professional training.
"These are my present views, and I shall lay them before the Peabody Trustees."
I wrote to Dr. Sears, June 16th, 1879, as follows : "You remember the adjourned session of the Legislature begins in July, first week. Shall I go forward and try to obtain the
3

34
legislation necessary to secure the removal of the Normal Col lege to this State ? I include under the words `legislation necessary,' the annual appropriation of $6,000, the provid ing of the necessary building and grounds, and the secur ing of a Board to manage the enterprise, composed of public school men in full sympathy with us in our efforts to per fect our public school system. The legislation could be conditioned on removal, and on receiving the full support and patronage of your Board. If we do not move in this matter now, action will be postponed two years, as the ses sions of our Legislature are now biennial.
"Please answer me as to whether I have your permission to go forward with a view to securing the legislation to which I have alluded."
June 19th, 1879, Dr. Sears, in further reply to the State School Commissioner's letter of May 31st, writes: "In re gard to the removal of the Nashville Normal College, I can only say that evry day increases the probability of it. We cannot go on long in the present way. We must have more room ; and nobody stirs toward providing it. There is difficulty, if not inability, and certainly an indisposition, on the part of the University Trustees to do anything, and the State Board of Education, having no funds, has no power to act in the case."
After speaking approvingly of the Tennesssee State Board of Education, Dr. S. continues in this letter to say of them:
They can move neither the Legislature to give anything, nor the University Trustees to devise measures of relief. We are already crowded and our number is rapidly increas ing. The promised $6,000 aid from the Nashville funds have dwindled to $2,700.
" I do not know what our Trustees will do on the subject, but I shall recommend removal and urge it strongly. I believe the thing will be done."
July 1, 1879,1 wrote to Dr. Stearns: " As to removal, I shall do all in my power with the

35
Legislature, which convenes to-morrow, to procure the needed legislation, conditioned upon the action of the Trustees of the Peabody Fund, at the approaching annual meeting."
Dr. Stearns writes to me, July 1st, 1879, "Should it be deemed advisable to remove our college from Tennessee, as now seems at least possible, I sincerely hope Georgia may find it a home, and that Atlanta may be its future' location. If the Normal College is to become a great cen tral institution for the Southern States--and this will undoubtedly be the case, sooner or later--I think your State, from its position, healthfulness and the spirit of its .people more and better adapted to give it full scope than any other State." After describing what the location, grounds, and buildings should be, he says: " Can not you meet the constitutional difficulty which restricts State ap propriations to the University, by making the Normal Col lege a part of your common school system and giving it a portion of what is designed for the schools ? Can you not injsome way avoid University control, or subordination to another institution ? I think the prosperity of the college requires that it should stand, as far as possible, alone. Of course it would be desirable to have one or more public schools in the vicinity connected with it for model and training schools."
September 4th, 1879, I wrote to Dr. Sears : " There has been"apparently some change in the temper of our Legis lature, and I now have strong hopes of getting a bill through, a copy of which I enclose herewith. I had a joint meeting oUthe_Committee on Education of the Senate and House called yesterday. I read the enclosed bill, and accompanied the'reading with the proper explanations. At the close of the reading a motion was made to request me to have the bill at one introduced into the House. On putting the mo tion all voted in favor, except three members, who had some constitutional scruples. The ablest1 lawyer, however,

36
on the Committee was very decided in the opinion that there was no constitutional bar. The Committee instructed me to have it stated in the House, at the time of introduc tion, that the-bill went in with the approval of both com mittees.
" I am the author of the bill. I would have preferred a separate school; but under the Constitution it could not be so made. If the bill passes, I feel confident that we shall have quite a number of tenders of buildings and grounds.
" Please write me what you think of the bill." The bill referred to in the foregoing was the Normal College bill as it passed, without the condition in respect to removal. In reply to the foregoing letter, Dr. Sears writes, under date of September 18, 1879: " Our annual meeting is so near (Oct. 1.) that I thought it better to delay my answer to your letter on the Normal School bill till after it was held. Whatever Tennessee may do or fail to do, we should undoubtedly aid your Normal School." October 11, 1879,1 wrote to Dr. Sears as follows: " I sent you a paper, a few days ago, giving an account of the passage of the Normal College bill by the House. The Senate passed the bill yesterday by a vote of 30 to 6. This is a great edu cational triumph. The bill passed just as it was when I sent it to you, except as to a single additional condition. That condition is removal from Nashville. I regretted to see that condition put into the bill, but it could not have passed the House, in the present temper of that body, without it. We shall have several tenders of buildings and grounds." ' In a letter of October 21, 1879, I wrote to Dr. Sears as follows: " What is the chance of removal ? Let me hear from you. Since the passage of the law much interest has been awakened, Augusta, Milledgeville, Athens, Griffin, Newnan, Bowden, Penfield and Atlanta will probably com pete for the location." In the same letter I say, " I have heard only meagre reports from your New York meeting.

37
Did adjournment to meet in February have any significance in relation to this question of removal ? Let me hear from you."
Dr. Sears replies, October 24, 1879: " After rehearsing to our trustees in my report the history of the Nashville Normal College, and the failure of the Tennessee Legisla ture to render us the expected aid, I closed by saying: 4 It has therefore become a serious question whether some change, possibly involving a removal, shall not be made to secure ampler accommodations and better support for the future.' The trustees, after discussing the question, author ized me to remove all our interests in the College, if the State or people of Tennessee should not, within one year, either make or promise to make, all necessary provisions for us. The action was informal but decisive.
" I see Dr. Lindsley (?) has made an appeal in an article of two columns of the Nashville American to thepublic to come to the rescue of the college. I do not know what the effect will be. Unless some decisive action is taken, we shall undoubtedly go to Georgia.
"I think Atlanta, for various reasons, wonjd be greatly preferred to any other location."
" On October 30, 1879, I write to Dr. Seats: " Your let ter of the 24th instant has been received. I expect to go to Athens, the site of the State University, next week, and, on my return, 1 shall write fully in reply."
In a letter of November 20, 1879, Dr. Sears writes: " I now think that if Georgia will offer good grounds and buildings in Atlanta for a Normal School, the Normal Col lege would be removed to that place, and not otherwise. It has been intimated that the Trustees of the University of Nashville will do their part, and give us the accommoda tions which we need; but the State has given no intima tion of trying to make an appropriation."
I replied as follows, under date of November 25, 1879 : "I do not know yet what Atlanta will do in the way of a tender of buildings and grounds. Athens will, I think,

38
offer the buildings and grounds of the Lucy Cobb Institute and what they call the Rock College. There is attached to each eight acres of ground. The buildings are large, and cost originally $50,000 to $75,000. They could be made to answer our purposes admirably. Isewnan, it is said, will expend $30,000 to secure the location. Augusta is anx iously inquiring what must be done to put her prominently among the competitors. The question is being agitated, tosome extent, here. I am on the Board that is to decide among the tenders, and am compelled to keep silent.
" Georgia will have a Normal College. We can succeed easily, I think, in striking o"ut the condition about removal, if it should be neceseary to do that, when the Legislature meets next fall, and then your Board will give us, any way, the $6,000 per annum. I desire very much, however, to secure removal now, and thus make our College the great central Normal College for the South.
"Let me suggest some solid reasons which,underlie this desire:
"1st. Georgia is the most central position for the South ern States, and easiest, of access for the territory interested.
" 2d. The upper portion of our State has never been scourged with an epidemic since the first settling of the territory.
" 3d. Our State is the most progressive of the Southern States.
" 4th. The law, as framed, does not require an annual appropriation. The appropriation is made in the act, and is to be paid annually. If your Board should make the donation I do not think the law could be repealed, as that action would conclude a contract between your Board and the State. If I am wrong in this view, and repeal should be considered allowable, it would still be impracticable to secure it under our new Constitution, as under that instru ment it requires a majority of all the members returned toboth branches to repeal a law.

39
" 5th. Georgia always meets her obligations when recog nized as just.
l I hope you will weigh well these reasons. " I know your preference is for Atlanta, and she would make a tender in a week's time but for legal obstacles. The new Constitution prohibits the incurring of a debt by a city of over seven per cent, of her taxable property. Atlanta owes more than that now. In the next place, the city charter forbids taxing the people, for all purposes, over one and one-half per cent, of the value of their property, and we are now levying that much tax. I do not doubt but that some way of raising money will be suggested which will cause the city to be heard from soon. " Whatever Georgia may do, I think you are absolved from all obligations to Tennessee. Moreover, the rigors of the winter climate of Nashville and her liability to the scourge of cholera are, as I think, reasons why you should not regret that you are absolved." In a letter to Chancellor Stearns, of December 11, 1879, I say: " I read with much interest the article in the Amer ican. I do not believe that the Tennessee Legislature can be roused to a proper interest, and I shall do what I can to bring about removal." A letter from me to Dr. Sears, of December 29, 1879, says: " I learn that the property at Athens referred to in former letters, together with $8,000 to put the buildings in good repair and to procure good furniture, will be tendered to the Normal College. " Newnan, it is reported, will spend $30,000 on her ten der. " I think 1 can now say that Atlanta will make an ofier. Ton shall hear definitely soon. "lam very anxious to secure the Normal College for Georgia, and if you think it would be proper, I will be in Washington when your Board meets in February, simply to give any information in relation to Georgia that may be desired."

40
On January 1st, 1880, I wrote to Dr. Stearns, Chancellor, for plans for buildings, and inquired what would be the probable action of the Tennessee Legislature in voting the necessary appropriations. In reply thereto, under date of January 7, 1880, he sent the plans asked for, expressed great doubt about what Tennessee would do, and closed by say ing : "We have at present eighty scholarship students, who bring into and expend in this city from $16,000 to $20,000, besides what is expended in conducting the college."
In reply to, my letter of December 29, 1879, Dr. Sears, after stating that communications to his Board must be made in writing, as they never acted upon matters coming before them in any other shape; and after expressing per sonally a wish that I might be present in Washington at the February meeting of the Board, goes on to say: " I do not perceive any material change in the state of things in Tennessee. If the people there do not make some decided movement to relieve us, and if Georgia makes an accepta ble proposal, inviting us to Atlanta, I have no doubt I shall, at the approaching meeting of the Trustees, recommend re moval." This was under date of January 5, 1880.
January 22, 1880, I wrote to Dr. Sears: " On receipt of your letter of January 5th, inst., I addressed letters to the authorities of the cities of Athens, Augusta and Atlanta, and to the towns of Newnan and West Point. I send here with a copy of the Augusta letter. The others were the same in substance. I send this to you that you may have an idea of what I am doing. I will post you just as soon as possible as to what can be done at all these places. I may say that a fine offer will come up from Athens. The peo ple there are all agog, and will do something handsome. I have just attended a meeting in this city which I now feel confident will result in a good offer."
The "Augusta letter" above referred to was directed to the Hon. Jno. S. Davidson, bore date of January 13, 1880, and was as follows:

41
" The Trustees of the Peabody Fund meet the 18th of next month in Washington, D. C. At that meeting the question of the removal of the Nashville Normal College will be decided; and I now feel confident in favor of Geor gia, if we consult our true interests. The Tennessee Legis lature, recently convened in extra session, adjourned with out making the appropriation necessary to retain the school at Nashville. There will be no other session till 1881; and, consequently, there can be no appropriation made'till then. 1 have been invited to put in writing a statement of what can be done in the way of furnishing a building and grounds in Georgia as information to the General Agent, Dr. Sears, to be considered by him before making the customary report to his Board ; and I shall, moreover, be present to make any supplemental statement, if that be considered desirable by the Board. I wish you to confer with leading citizens of Augusta, and take the necessary steps to put before me definitely what the city will do. You will un derstand the proposition your city may now make is simply a basis for my statement to Dr. Sears. When the State Board of Education, together with Dr. Sears, come to con sider the question of location, should removal to Georgia be decided upon, Augusta will, of course, be at libierty to amend her proposition by offering greater inducements."
In a lettter of January 21, 1880, Dr. Sears says: "We are, of course, committed to our present faculty. There can be no removal if that faculty is to be dropped." He adds an expression of his fears in relation to the University control provided by our law.
In a reply, dated January 24, 1880,1 say : "I do not be lieve it best to retain all of the faculty at Nashville, in the event of removal. The leading members of it might be retained with great advantage. I cannot gb into this deli cate subject fully in a letter without liability to being mis understood. I hnow that I can, in a personal interview, present considerations that would modify the views you have expressed on this point."

42
Dr. Sears replied to my letter of January 24th on January 26th, 1880, and closed by saying : "We could understand each other by a few moment's conversation in Washington." , On February 4th, 1880, in a letter to Dr. Sears, I say : "I send herewith the Athens proposition. The printed letter was sent to every member of the Board of Trustees of the University. Answers have been received from all, or nearly all, of the members; and these answers show, as I have been informed, that this large body of influential men are almost a unit in reference to the offer made, and that the Normal College will be received with enthusiasm, and cher ished as one of the most important of our educational agen cies. The endorsement on the back of the letter, the orig inal of which is in my possession, makes the tender official and binding. The buildings tendered will be ample for our purposes, and can be made, by some changes, all that we could desire. The city of Athens is thoroughly roused. One cit izen offers to give a thousand dollars, and to increase the sum to two thousand dollars if necessary, to make the needed alterations in the buildings and to provide the necessary furniture. I am informed that large numbers stand ready to follow this example in contributing what they can towards the enterprise. I think I can safely say that they will will ingly and cheerfully raise all the money that the Board will fix as necessary to accomplish the objects mentioned.
"You will observe that a tender is made of the use of the libraries, chemical and philosophical apparatus, museums, etc. The libraries are entensive and well selected, and the chemical and philosophical apparatus equal to any in the South, as I am informed. I am told further, that the ten der of apparatus includes, not simply the privilege of occa sional use, but the right of constant use in the University Laboratory at such hours as may be agreed upon. I have thought it proper to write this much in explanation of the tender. A more valuable offer can hardly be made any where.

43
"I still feel confident that Atlanta will make a tender, and perhaps other places."
Chancellor Stearns having written to me that he would be called upon to give an opinion in relation to removal, and asking for facts, I wrote to him February 10th, 1880, giving him an account of the Athens tender, and presenting the arguments in favor of removal to Georgia. The substance of the letter in respect to both these matters having been already given in other letters, I do not now reproduce what was said therein.
I was present in Washington, D. 0., according to agree ment, during the February meeting of the Peabody Trus tees, already referred to herein. Hon. W. L. Calhoun, Mayor of the city of .Atlanta, was also present. Through me, he communicated to Dr. Sears an official tender from the city of Atlanta. The tender from Athens I had already placed in the hands of Dr. S., and these were the only official tenders made. The Peabody Trustees held several sessions, and dur ing the time, I had two or three interviews with Dr. Sears. During these interviews, the question of retaining the Fac ulty of the Normal College, as then constituted, was fully discussed ; and we parted, as I thought, with an understand ing on both sides that this question could be adjusted by mutual concessions. Indeed, the impression left on my mind by all that passed between us was to the effect that Georgia had virtually secured the location. He did not tell me the precise action taken, but spoke of an early visit to our State, when the whole matter would be settled.
February 25th, 18;0,1 wrote to Dr. Sears : "I reached home yesterday, and I write you thus early because I think it important to do so. While I feel that the decision of the question of removal of therNormal College has been virtually settled, I desire very'much to have it actually settled and to have the decision publicly announced. The interests involved demand an early settlement. You will remember that we were talking about your making us

44
an early visit, and I, as I remember the matter, was to in form you when the Governor would be certainly at home. I am just from the Executive Office, and Governor Colquitt authorizes me to say that he will be here at any time within the next three or four weeks, fie agrees with me that a final decision ought to be reached and announced as early as possible. Please write in reply to this, saying when you can come."
In reply to my letter of February 10th, already referred to, Dr. Stearns, on February 25th, 1879, wrote, stating that the University Trustees had become thoroughly roused, and wei'e taking every measure possible to prevent removal. After detailing in full what they were seeking to accom plish, he concludes by saying that it would be better, oh the whole, for the College to remain in Uashville. He expresses personal willingness to go to Atlanta, but fears greatly University control under the provisions of the Georgia law.
The visit of Dr. Sears to Atlanta took place March 21st. Dr. Stearns was also present by invitation, arriving two or three days after that date. During the visit of these gen tlemen, our State Board of Education had three different meetings, the visitors being invited in every case to attend. Dr. Sears, in a letter dated February 26th, speaking of Athens, had said : "I cannot consider that location at all," and now he informed our Board that he had instructions to remove the Peabody interest in the Nashville College to Atlanta, Georgia, if suitable arrangements could be made, with the privilege of considering offers from other points. He took occasion, however, to repeat that if removal was effected, Atlanta must be the site. Our conferences soon developed some differences about other points. Dr. Sears thought it of the first importance that the faculty of the college, as then constituted, be removed intact. It was contended in the Board that success on a new theatre re quired that there should be placed in the faculty some teachers already well known to the people. Dr. Sears

45
further stated that if Georgia secured the location, that advantage must be sufficient for her, and that she could have no scholarships, adding that Tennessee had never had the benefit of scholarships. It was urged in the Board that, if Georgia should secure the location, her payment of $6,000 per annum would be a sufficient satisfaction for that, and that she ought not to be deprived of scholarships. It was further stated that our authorities were under a misapprehension on this point from the beginning; and that our Normal College act was passed by the Legislature, with the distinct understanding at the time, that the State would be entitled still to the privilege of scholarships.
During the pendency of these questions, representatives of the City Council and people of Athens, of the State University, and of the City Council of Atlanta, appeared before the Board and made statements. An invitation from the authorities of Athens to visit that place and in spect the property tendered, was also accepted. In this visit, a committee represented the State Board, and Dr. Stearns represented Dr. Sears, who was himself too unwell to risk leaving his room at the time. It may be asked, why visit Athens at all, if there was no chance of her secur ing the location ? The reply is, it could not be certainly foreseen what turn negotiations might take.
After much consultation and discussion, Dr. Sears sub mitted the following paper as a basis of action :
"The Trustees of the Peabody Fund propose to contrib ute annually towards the support of the Georgia Normal College $6,000 on the following conditions:
"1. That the State contribute the same amount. "2. That a suitable building for such a school, on an ap proved plan, and a mansion for the President, with grounds and other necessary accommodations, be provided by the city of Atlanta, or other parties. "3. That the President be nominated or approved by the General Agent, and that the President nominate his assist
ants.

46
"4. That the Peabody Trustees, or their Agent, be al lowed to designate the use of the contribution they make.
"5. That this arrangement continue during the pleasure of the parties."
This paper was referred to a committee consisting of the Governor, the Attorney-General and the State School Commissioner. This committee agreed unanimously upon an acceptance of Dr. Sears' proposition, with a number of material modifications. These modifications were to the effect that the faculty was to be accepted as it stood for twelve months, their salaries for that period to be paid by the Peabody Trustees ; that Georgia was not to be deprived of scholarships, and that the Peabody Trustees were to have the right of withholding the appropriation given by them, if at any time the objects for which it was given were not being carried out in good faith. The paper, as thus amended, was submitted to Dr. Sears for his approval. He said he approved it, but could not sign it, till he heard again from Dr. Stearns, who had, a day or two before, re turned to Nashville. That day Dr. Sears left for his home, carrying the amended paper with him.
Frequent reference has been made to the Athens tender. In order to show what it was, I submit the following paper, which was placed before the State Board by a representa tive from Athens:
" List of property tendered by the Board of Trustees of the University of Georgia to the State Board of Education for the use of the Normal State College, provided it is located at Athens:

$80 000."

Dr. Sears left for his home on the 30th of March. Just before leaving he received a dispatch from Dr. Stearns, which, as he informed me, conveyed information that the' Trustees of-the University of Nashville were about to con vene. The next day he wrote to me from Cleveland, Tennessee, where he was delayed by the wreck of a train, as follows:
"I answered, in a word, President Stearns' dispatch yesterday at 4 p. m., and sent it on in the Nashville mail. I have written him fully to-day, but the letter will not go till to-morrow morning, and 1 have telegraphed him to wait for the letter. I state my difficulties with the Nashville offer, (and with anything they well can offer,) and ask him to telegraph to me at Staunton his assent or dissent with the Atlanta plan, and, in order to save precious time, to telegraph to yau, at the same time, `I consent,' or `I do not consent.' You can be governed by his answer, and will soon hear from me fully by letter."
April 2, 1880, Chancellor Stearns dispatched me, "I con sent."

48
This, I supposed, settled the matter, and I expected in a few days to have the original proposition of Dr. Sears, as amended by the committee, returned to me with his signa ture, ready to be acted upon by our Board. Instead of this, however, on the 6th of April I received from Dr. Sears the following dispatch: "President Stearns' answer to me not quite satisfactory; wait."
Yery soon thereafter I received two letters from Dr. Sears, one dated the 5th and the other the 6th of April.
The first was as follows: "I confess to you that I do not see any course of action that is not beset with difficul ties. Your Board find that they must act just as they would for a State Normal School. We, on the other hand, have a Southern Normal College on our hands. The more I reflect upon it, the more am I convinced that the Peabody Trustees would not be willing to put all their interests, even Upminally, into the hands of an unsympathizing body of men, representing the University. True, we have the power to withdraw, but such an act would leave us without a College, and with a damaged reputation. We cannot afford to have a quarrel with a State. Possibly it may be better to delay action till your Legislature meets ; and, if the aspect of things does not change, see if you cannot get authority to establish a Georgia Normal School, without the Normal College.
"I see President Stearns feels reluctant to exchange Nashville for Atlanta, thinking he has much to fear, and little to hope. He would have to surrender several things very dear to him. He would leave a safe place where the experiment has been safely made, and hazard his success and reputation under circumstances neither; flattering nor inviting.
"If I should decide to remove, he might feel compelled to acquiesce; but I do not think that would be treating him fairly. The reputation of the College is due to him. He came to Nashville with the expectation that permanency

49
there would be certain, if he were successful. Everybody admits that he has been.
"Nashville will try to induce us to extend the time for legislative action to next January, and will promise both money and influence. The utmost we could do would be to promise to wait. We can give no pledges if the State does not; and, of course, cannot nou> make an}' promise for the future to Tennessee. Of course, we could not hold Atlanta or Georgia bound by its present offer. Everything would be as it was at the beginning.
"I do not like to take decisive and final action in a case so dark and doubtful. 1 should be held responsible for results, whereas no one will blame me for remaining where we are.
"N ow, in looking over all the difficulties of the case, you may think it better for Georgia to be free, and to have its own Normal School, we making the same offer as that made to Texas. Over our Southern Normal College we must have a larger jurisdiction than over a State Normal School. We have larger interests, both in the expenditures and in their results. I see that just so far as we press this view in respect to the Atlanta plan, we embarrass you. Perhaps you would willingly be freed from that embarrass ment.
"This letter is merely one of inquiry. I have come to no decision in my own mind."
The following postscript was appended: "p. m. 4 o'clock April 5.--Your telegram is just received. After receiving President Stearns' telegram I wrote to him on the whole subject, and I wish to get his reply before writing to yon. I fear he feels forced to say yes, `if I think it best.' Let us have time for fair play." I had telegraphed to him of President Stearns' consent to removal. I learned afterwards that Dr. Stearns' telegram to Dr. Sears was, "I consent, if you think best." I now give the letter of April 6th. It was as follows :

50
"I am constantly revolving in my mind the question whether there is any better way to solve our difficulties than that which we have been considering.
"Might we divide the jurisdiction by resolving the double character of the institution into its two constituent parts, limiting the power of revision on the part of the University to the Gleorgia State Normal School, and leaving the Nor mal College for the Southern States (which the Peabody Trustees support) entirely free from University control ? The first would be established by law; the other (the Col lege) would be a matter of control between the Dniversity or your Board of Education and the Peabody Trustees. Why should one party pay the money, and the other party claim control of the College ? I use the terms Normal School and Normal College merely for convenience. I know there can be no formal division of the two. Still the two joint interests would be so far designated as to free the University from the constitutional obligation to take the oversight of our (the Peabody) part of the concern.
"If some such understanding could be reached, my Trus tees would be better satisfied with my action. We should then in another form have in Georgia substantially what we now have in Nashville as the plan of action. Perhaps you can take this suggestion and work out something better.
"I have written to President Stearns that I shall not take final action till he and I fully understand each other; that if he consents to removal merely because he cannot help it, that will not satisfy me.
"If you should feel as I intimated in my last letter you possibly might, we should have ample time to review the whole ground, and finally act with less risk.
"It would not do for me to break up at Nashville, and then run any real risk of breaking up again at Atlanta. The people would lose all confidence in us. It would be better to suffer hard treatment by the University than to separate on account of dissatisfaction. Our security, there-

51
fore, is rather factitious than real. We hold out a quasi threat which we cannot afford to execute. If the intima tion of possible withdrawal produces its effect, all will be well; if it should not, then we shall be in a bad fix indeed.
"This is the reason why I have made the inquiry about the double character of the Normal College (as it is now called.)
"Let us get this matter right, if we can, without sacrifice to any party. I seek nothing but the general good, and wish to act without partiality."
I was absent from home when these letters came. As soon as I returned I telegraphed to Dr. Sears as follows:
"I can remove all your difficulties. Look for me in Staunton next week."
I immediately called on ex-Governor Joseph E. Brown, and explained to him the status of affairs, giving it as my opinion that the chief difficulty in reaching a satisfactory result in this matter was the fear of University control, especially if Atlanta should be chosen as the location, and asking him to give me his opinion, as a Trustee of the University, as to how that Board would receive and treat the Normal College, should it be removed to this State. I subjoin the letter he wrote with its endorsements :*
"Atlanta, Ga., April 12, 1880.
Gustavtjs J. Gee, State Sehool Commissioner, etc., Atlanta, Ga:
"Dear Sir: Referring to our conversation on the Normal College, I have to state that I have examined the act of the Legislature on the subject, and I find it is left with the Board of Trustees of the Normal College and the General Agent of the Trustees of the Peabody Fund to decide among the tenders of location, and accept the one which, in their judgment, is the proper one. Then the duties of the Trustees of the State University are prescribed.
"Now I understand there may be some apprehension as to

52
the course the Trustees of the State University might take in the matter, in the event we are not satisfied with the location selected by the authority above mentioned. On this point 1 have this to say, as a member of the Board of the Trustees of the State University :
"I have felt, in common with the other members of the Board, that it is our duty to favor the location of the Nor mal College at Athens; and as you are well aware, I have taken that position ; and while my residence and interests are in Atlanta, I could certainly say nothing against Atlanta as a proper location, under the obligations which I feel resting upon me as a trustee of the State University. I have gone against its location in my own town. But if the Board of Trustees of the Normal College, and the General Agent of the Trustees of the Peabody Fund, decided in favor of Atlanta, or in favor of any other location in the State, that will not, in the slighest degree, change my course in the premises.
"We already have several small colleges located ifi differ ent sections of the State, connected with, and part of, the State University ; and I believe that each and every member of the Board of Trustees of the State University feels it his duty, ad is proud to do all in his power to promote the best interests of each, without any regard, whatever, to its location ; and I have no doubt that the same course will be pursued towards the Normal College, no matter what location may be selected.
"Indeed, I am fully satisfied that our Board would foster it in every way possible. It would be our pride, as well as our duty to do so, and we should expect the subordinate Board to prescribe a proper curriculum and confer such degrees as are usually conferred in a Normal College of the character of the College proposed to be removed to, and connected with, our State University. I have no idea that there would be any capricious disposition shown by any member of the Board, or that there would be any injustice

53

done to the Normal College, or any interference with the

action of the subordinate Board in any matter where it was

reasonable and appropriate in an institution of the character

of that over which they would preside. We all have our

individual preference as to location, and some of us may

have duties to perform in reference to a particular location

that we might not otherwise prefer. But when the location

is made, I think I express the whole of it in a word, when

I say we shall be proud of the College as a part of the

University, and shall adopt a liberal, just, and I trust, wise

policy in reference to it. I am, very respectfully,

Your obedient servant,

(Signed)

Joseph E. Browh."

"I concur in the above, and further express the opinion

that the Trustees of the University of Georgia will not seek

to regulate the studies or methods pursued in the Normal

College, or to prevent the conferring of any degrees upon

its graduates, providing these degrees are not to be consid

ered as the degrees of the University.

(Signed)

H. V. M. Miller."

"I concur in the views above set forth by ex-Governor

Brown and Dr. Miller.

(Signed)

James M. Smith."

"We feel sure that the policy pursued towards the Normal

College by the Trustees of the University of Georgia, should

that College be located in Atlanta, would be as expressed

in the statement made within by ex-Governor Brown.

(Signed)

James Jackson,

Martin J. Crawford,

Alfred H. Colquitt,

S. M. H. Byrd."

It is proper to remark that all the gentlemen, whose names are signed to the several endorsements above, are also Trustees of the University.

54
As stated in the telegram, the week following, taking with me the paper above given, I made a visit to Dr. Sears at Staunton, Va. I placed the paper before him, which he read very carefully, and during the day, which I spent with him, we discussed, at length, the different aspects of the removal question. He gave me no decisive answer. I had told him that I believed 1 could procure a favorable endorse ment of Governor Brown's statement from almost every member of the Board of Trustees of the University; and, when we parted, I asked him if I should proceed to the procuring of these endorsements on my return home. He replied that, after corresponding with Dr. Stearns, he would giye me an answer.
On reaching home, I telegraphed Dr. Stearns, April 19th, 1880, as follows: " Do not answer Dr. Sears till I am heard from." On the same day, I wrote to Dr. Stearns: "I have just sent you a telegram, requesting you not to answer Dr. Sears till I am heard from. You will learn, through a^ letter from him, that I was with him last Friday in Staun ton. The final conclusion as to the question of removal from Nashville of the interests of the Peabody Trustees will be made, I feel assured, to hinge upon your answer to his letter.
" The chief difficulty in your mind and in the mind of Dr. Sears in respect to removal to Atlanta, as I understood from repeated interviews when you were both here, was the fear that the power given in our law to the Trustees of the State University to revise the acts of the subordinate Board might be used to hinder the Normal College in its legiti mate work. I went to Staunton with evidence to show that this fear was unfounded. This evidence was a letter writ ten by ex-Governor Joseph E. Brown, with endorsements by ex-United States Senator H. V. M. Miller, ex-Governor Smith, Governor Colquitt, James Jackson and M. J. Craw ford, at present Associate Justices of the Supreme Court of Georgia, and Mr. S. M. H. Byrd, all of whom are Trustees

55
of the University. That there may be no mistake about the matter, I give the letter and endorsements entire." Then follows the letter already given in the foregoing. fI further say, "On presenting this letter with its endorse ments to Dr. Sears, I made a statement, of the correctness of which I have not a doubt, that I could procure, as addition al endorsers, almost every member of the Board of Trustees of the University, including the Athens members. He seemed very much impressed, and assured me that the ques tion was still an open one. On my asking him whether I should go home and procure additional endorsers, he replied, that after corresponding with you, he would write me on that point. I feel great confidence in my ability to remove the last vestige of reasonable doubt, and I have felt it my duty to put the matter before you in the light in which it is presented above.
" I cannot close this letter without saying to you that I considered your telegram of the 4th inst., taken in conneeti<?n with Dr. Sears' letter from Cleveland, as final and con clusive upon the subject of removal." [Here I gave Dr. Sears's Cleveland letter of March 31st. It will be remem bered that Dr. Sears, in that letter, said that I could govern myself by Chancellor Stearns's answer. Thp letter pro ceeds] " I was so governed, and when you telegraphed me on the 4th inst., ` I consent,' I had it announced in the pa pers that Atlanta had secured the College. The City Coun cil appointed men to canvass the city to raise the additional $7,000, the double of which, in my opinion, could, and can still, be raised. We shall feel greatly disappointed now if we fail to secure removal, and I shall be personally much aggrieved after near two years of honest, earnest, faithful labor, to witness this result of all my efforts."
In a communication of April 24th, Chancellor Stearns re plies to my letter above, and gives in detail his explanations of the matters therein contained. I regret that his letter is too long to be incorporated herein, and I fear I might do him injustice by simply making extracts therefrom.

56
On the 15th of May I wrote to Dr. Sears as follows : " I left Staunton this day four weeks ago. You will remem ber you were to correspond with Dr. Stearns and give me a final and conclusive answer as to the question of the removal of the Normal College. I had expected an answer before this. I do not doubt but that you have had sufficient reason for silence. I do not wish to show impatience, but I desire an answer as early as you are prepared to give it. Much interest is manifested in all parts of the State and I am frequently plied with questions on the subject."
His reply, dated May 18th, 1880, contains the following : " The Nashville papers sent me were a little equivocal on one point. I sent for an interpretation and received the writer's view of the case. I then wrote that if the Trus tees had the same view, I could ask nothing more,-------that I could not under such circumstances remove the Nor mal College. I have been waiting for a reply, but have not yet received it."
This reply indicated an adverse decision. As it was not positive, I wrote again to Dr. Sears, June 2d. To this let ter I received a reply from a member of his family, giving an account of the illness which terminated fatally in July.
I have understood, that, on the return of Dr. Stearns from the Atlanta meeting, the Trustees of the University of Nashville and the citizens generally became thoroughly aroused--that the former agreed to raise $10,000 to meet immediate and pressing wants and that numbers of the lat ter bound themselves to pay annually toward the support of the Normal College various amounts, aggregating even more than had been required, till such time as the Legisla ture shall relieve them by an appropriation. I doubt not, as is intimated in Dr. Sears' last letter, that the question of removal thus became settled. Though settled, probably fi nally and against us, a great institution which keeps contin ually within its walls, sustains and educates, free of charge, from eighty to one hundred young persons who are seek-

57

ing to prepare themselves for teaching, as a life-work, is a

priceless benefaction to the South ; and, wherever it may be

located, it deserves, and will receive, the hearty support of

every Southern man who is a true friend of popular educa

tion.

v

It will be seen, nevertheless, from the correspondence

above given, that we may yet receive aid from the Trustees

of the Peabody Fund for the support of a State Normal

College; and I would suggest to the General Assembly the

propriety of repealing the condition in respect to removal

in the Normal College act. This would put us in a condi

tion to make any aid of the kind, that may be tendered,

available.

One of the parties to the negotiations, of which the cor

respondence herein reproduced gives an account, can no

longer speak for himself. I have preferred that his own

words, penned while in life, should represent him. The

drift of what he has been permitted to say herein shows

that, in all this business, he had no ends in view except

those which were noble, and that he pursued those ends

only by worthy means. In seeking to provide for the per

manent establishment of an institution which he was main

ly instrumental in originating, his study was to guard well

the interests of the great trust which he represented, and, at

the same time, to do no injustice to any of the other par

ties in interest.

I very much regret the length to which this Report has

been drawn out. On a careful review, however, I do "not

see wherein it could have been abridged. To the many im

portant matters which it discusses I invite the earnest at

tention of the General Assembly.

Gustavos J. Ore,

State School Commissioner.
