REPORT OF THE State School Commissioner OF GrZEOFiG-I-A., TO THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY. SUBMITTED IN NOVEMBER, 1882, AND COVERING THE EDUCATIONAL OPERATIONS OF 1881 AND 1882. ATLANTA, GA.: JAS. P. HARRISON & CO., STATE PRINTERS, 1882. OFFICE OF STATE SCHOOL COMMISSIONER, Atlanta, Ga., November i, 1882. To His Excellency, Alfred H. Colquitt : Dear Sir--Please submit to the General Assembly the Report herewith transmitted, which covers the educa tional operations of the State for the years 1881 and 1882. With sentiments of the highest respect, I am Your Excellency's obedient servant, Gustavus J. Orr, State School Commissioner' REPORT. The last three Reports of this Department have con tained a condensed statement of the enrollment, by races, in our public schools, and of the annual increase in attend ance, from year to year, from the first establishment of our school system. For convenience of reference, I re produce the same herein, bringing it down to date. This enrollment and increase were as follows: in 1871, white pupils, 42,914; 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; increase over the attendance of 1873, 51,864; in 1875, white, 105,990; colored, 50,385 ; total, 156,375 ; increase over the attend ance of 1874,20,808; in 1876, white, 121,418; colored, / 57,987; total, 179,405 ; increase over the attendance 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, white, 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 ; in 1880, white, 150,134; colored, 86,399; total, 236,533; increase over the attendance in 1879, 9,906 ; in 1881, white, 153,156; colored, 91,041; total, 244,197; increase over the attendance in 1880, 7,664. 6 At this time it is impossible to give the corresponding statistics for the year 1882; inasmuch as the schools of this year are now in progress. A complete edition of this report, containing the statistical tables for 1882, as well as those for 1881, will be published early next year. The reader can readily find the numbers corresponding to ' those given above by adding together the totals found at the bottom of the proper columns of tables Nos. 3 and 4 of the statistical tables of 1882. A limited edition of this report, without the tables of 1882, will be published, at once, for the use of the General Assembly. Perhaps the most satisfactory method of showing the school income and the annual expenses of this Depart ment is to follow the financial statement made by the Comptroller-General for use at this office in apportioning the school fund. This statement covers the period from July 1st, of one year, to July 1st, of the next. From the statement on file in this office for the year ending June 30th, 1881, I am enabled to give the following: Received from half rental W. & A. R. R., . $150,000 00 Received from liquor tax,........................ 42,242 59 Received from tax on shows,................... 4,918 00 Received from dividends on Ga. R. R*. stock; 1,302 00 $198,462 59 Warrants drawn on the fund for expenses, . 3,325 24 Leaving to be apportioned among the counties, ....'....................$195,137 35 From a similar statement for the year ending June 30th, 1882, I give the following : Received from half rental W. & A. R. R., . $150,000 00 Received from liquor tax............................. 44,7^7 71 Received from tax on shows,................... 5,794 7^ Received from dividends on Ga. R. R. stock, 1,116 00 7 deceived from net hire of convicts, ... $ 19,192 00 Heceived from fees for inspecting fertilizers, 56,198 89 $277,069 36 Executive warrants for expenses, .... 4,494 45 To'be apportioned among the counties, $272,574 91 It will be observed that the item of expenses, for the two years covered by the statements above, amounts to $7,819.69. The expenses of the Department include the salaries of the State School Commissioner and his Clerk, the printing of the school laws, Instructions, Reports, cir culars, etc., and also blanks and forms for all the counties of the State, postage for the distribution of this printed matter and on letters, and fees occasionally paid to attor neys for suits brought for the recovery of school funds lost in the hands of agents of the system. The salary of the State School Commissioner is $2,000, and that of his Clerk is $1,200, The sum of these salaries for two years is $6,400. This sum taken from the entire expense leaves $1,419.69, as the whole outlay for two years for objects other than the payment of salaries. The number of polls returned in 1881 was 241,542. The net amount of the poll tax paid to the County School Commissioners during that year was $164,039.97. With the counties of Wilcox, Miller, Glynn and Decatur a final settlement for that year has not yet been made. The approximate estimate of $4,500 has been given me at the Comptroller's office as the sum due to the Commissioners of those counties. Add this number to $164,039.97, and we have $168,539,97 as the aggregate sum that went into the hands of all the County School Commissioners from this source for school purposes that year. Add this sum again to $195,137.35,^6 amount'apportioned that year at this office, and there results $363,677.32, as the entire 8 sum furnished by the State, from all sources, for the sup port of schools. If we divide this sum by 433,444, the number of children of school age, we find 84 cents as the per capita appropria tion. If we divide the same sum by 244,197, the number of children that entered the schools that year, we find $1.49 as the appropriation on enrollment. The same sum being divided by 149,908, the average attendance, we find $2.43 as the appropriation on average attendance. It is customary, in computing estimates of school ap propriations, to base the estimates upon the whole amount raised in the State, in every way, for school purposes. In the year 1881 the counties and cities, under local laws, raised by local taxation for school purposes $134,855.96. Add this to the State appropriation of $363,677.32, and we have $498,533.28 as the whole sum raised in Georgia and applied to the support of public schools in the year 1881. If we divide this sum by 433,444, the school pop ulation, by 244,197, the enrollment, and by 149,908, the average attendance, the several quotients are $1.15, $2.04 and $3.32. These sums represent the amount raised per capita on school population, enrollment and average at tendance, respectively, throughout the State in every way. It is impossible for me to give with accuracy estimates corresponding to the foregoing for the year 1882, as the schools of this year have not yet closed. I can give a very close approximation ; and perhaps it would be profitable for me to do so. The amount of the School Fund apportioned this year is $272,574.91. Supposing that the same sum will be paid into the hands of the County School Commissioners, as the net proceeds of the poll tax, which was paid over to them last year, viz.: $168,539.97, and adding this to $272,574.91, the sum ap portioned, and we have $441,114.88, which is a very close 9 approximation to the State appropriation for the year. The aggregate of school population as corrected and used in the apportionment this year is 507,861. My estimate is that the enrollment and average attendance will not be less, respectively, than 255,000 and 153,000. Taking these numbers, and making the same calculations as those indi cated for the year 1881, and we have the figures, 87 cents, $1.73 and $2.88, as the approximate appropriation per capita, on school population, enrollment and average at tendance respectively. If we suppose the amount raised for school purposes by local taxation in cities and counties under local laws this year to be the same as was raised in that way last year, viz : $134,855.96, and add this sum to the estimated State appropriation of $441,114.88, we have $575,970,84 as the entire sum raised in all ways and applied to the support of schools this year. Dividing this sum by the numbers last used as representing the school population, the enrollment and the average attendance, and we have $1.13, $2.25 and $3.76 as the average per capita on school population, en rollment and average attendance, paid by the aggregate of all school funds raised in the State for this year. Every one who reads these pages will be struck with the utter inadequacy of the sums which we are applying to the support of schools to the object to be accomplished It may be remarked, however, that, owing to a peculiar provision of our school law, the appropriation is made to accomplish more, perhaps, than the same sum has ever been made to do in any other State. The pro vision of law to which I allude is that which requires that a County School Commissioner shall report each year to the State School Commissioner that arrangements have been made for continuing public schools in operation by taxation or otherwise, for three months, throughout the entire county, in order to enable him to receive his county's quota of the school fund. This arrangement is 10 effected by requiring patrons who are able to pay the teacher to enter into a contract with him to supplement the State school fund. By means of this provision of law, schools have generally been established in reach of all of the children ; and every child has had the privilege of entering one of these schools, and of remaining in it for at least three months of each year for ten years past. Continuing to feel as I have felt for years past, the ur gent necessity of more liberal appropriations for schools, and entertaining the hope that the members of the Gen eral Assembly may sympathize with me in these convic tions, I submit some further estimates, which may be useful in guiding legislation. The average attendance upon our schools in 1881, as has been seen, was a little under 150,000. It is safe to assume that, for several years to come, it will not exceed 160,000. A school fund which would pay a dollar a month per capita upon average at tendance would make the schools absolutely free. I think this statement will be accepted as reasonable when it is remembered that public school instruction, under our law, is limited to the elementary branches; and that pa rents can have their children taught the more advanced branches only by paying their tuition in those branches. If the statement is correct, $160,000 would pay all the expenses of the schools for one month, $320,000 for two months, $480,000 for three months, etc. The last Gen eral Assembly had a bill before them taxing the property of the State one tenth of one per cent, for the benefit of schools, which came very near passing the House. The taxable property of the State, according to the re turn of this year, is $287,249,403. One-tenth of one per cent, on this would yield in gross $287,249. Ten per cent of this, which is $28, 724, would pay the expense of collecting and cover all losses by default- of payment. This would leave, as the net yield, $258,525. I have estimated the school fund of this year from all 11 sources at $441,114. Add these two last sums together and we have $699,639 as the net school fund which would result from imposing a school tax of one-tenth of one per cent. But by the reasoning given above, $160,000 multi plied by 4 would give $640,000 as the sum necessary to make schools absolutely free for four months. It is thus seen that an addition to the school fund of the net amount derived from a tax of one-tenth of one per cent, would make the schools free for more than four months. A tax of two-tenths or one-fifth of one per cent, would yield $517,050, which, added to $441,114, the estimated school fund of this year, would give $958,164; and this sum would keep the schools in operation for six months of the year. I have made the foregoing estimates for the purpose of furnishing assistance in any legislation that may be proposed. It is for the General Assembly, in its wisdom, to say what shall be done, and how it shall be done. It is very evident that anything less than a six months school will fail to satisfy the reasonable expectations of intelligent men. Nothing less than this would afford the children the means of ob taining anything like an adequate education. The ques tion is, are we in a condition to raise the necessary amount of money? This question depends for its solu tion upon another, which may be put in this way. Can the children of the State be adequately educated in the the common branches of an English education in any way ? Experience everywhere throughout the world has proved that education by means of public schools, is much less costly than education conducted in any other way. Then if we can adequately educate the children at all, it follows irresistibly that we can do this work most effectively by means of public schools. Sums applied by a State to the education of the children, when aggre 12 gated often seem very large. The much larger sums ap plied to education in States where there are no public schools are unknown, and fail to make a striking impres sion, because they are never aggregated in the form of statistics. If the State of Georgia should abolish her public schools to-morrow, a sufficient sum would doubtless be expended on private schools the very next year to keep up public schools all over theState for at least six months. I may add further, that the education furnished would be much less nearly universal, and, from the lack of supervision, much less thorough than that furnished by applying the same money to the support of public schools. Perhaps no other person in the State has had more adequate appreciation of the difficulties of the,,educationaT problem before us for some years past than the writer of this report. The reduction of the property of the State from $672,000,000 to $170000,000 by the ravages of war, the freeing of a slave population very nearly equal in numbers to the white, the necessity of furnishing the facilities of education to the children of this mass of emanci pated people possessing nothing but their freedom, as well as to the children of a large portion of the white population reduced to a condition of poverty almost as low, and the further necessity of incurring the additional expense of furnishing separate schools for the different races--all these facts confronted us, making the educa tional problem of this and the other Southern States the anomaly of all educational history. 1 feel that we have done well to accomplish as much as we have. But the time has come when we can do better. The condition of our people is improving. Extensive travel, for the last few years, has shown me this, on every hand. I see evi dences of it in the building of better dwelling-houses, in improved modes of tillage, in a new husbandry which looks to the permanent improvement of the soil, and in 13 the introduction of. manufactures. Statistics of produc tion show the same thing. I have no doubt the returns of taxable property to our Comptroller-General would also show it, but for a vicious system of making those re turns which fails, and which always will fail, to secure a just valuation of property. I am sure that we have reached a point where we can continue our schools in op eration for six months without unduly burdening the people. Without entering into any argument to prove it to be the duty of the General Assembly to do what is recom mended in the foregoing, and without attempting any discussion as to how it may best be done, I shall content myself with simply quoting those parts of our State Con stitution which relate, respectively, to these two branches of inquiry. Art. VIII contains the following : "Sec. I Par. i. There shall be a thorough system of common schools for the education of children in the elementary branches of an English education only, as nearly uniform as practicable, the expenses of which shall be provided for by taxation, or otherwise " "Sec. Ill, Par. i. The poll tax, any educational fund now belonging to the State (except the endowment of and debt due to the University of Georgia), a special tax on shows and exhibitions, and on the sale of spirituous and malt liquors--which the General Assembly is hereby authorized to assess--and the proceeds of any commuta tion tax for military service, and all taxes that may be assessed on such domestic animals as, from their nature and habits, are destructive to other property, are hereby set apart and devoted to the support of common schools." "Sec. IV. Par. i. Authority may be granted to counties, upon the recommendation of two grand juries, and to municipal corporations, upon the recommendation of the corporate authority, to establish and maintain public 14 schools in their respective limits, by local taxation; but no such local laws shall take effect until the same shall have been submitted to a vote of the qualified voters in each county or municipal corporation, and approved by a two-thirds vote of persons qualified to vote at such elec tion ; and the General Assembly may prescribe who shall vote on such que'stion." Art. VII, Sec. I, Par. i, in setting forth the purposes for which " the powers of taxation over the whole State shall be exercised \>y the General Assembly," mentions, among other objects, " For educational purposes, in in structing children in the elementary branches of an English education only." In Sec. II, Par. 3, of the same article, the following oc curs : " No poll tax shall be levied except for educational purposes, and such tax shall not exceed one dollar, annu ally, upon each poll." Sec. VI, Par. 2, of the same article, has the following: "The General Assembly shall not have power to delegate to any county the right to levy a tax for any purpose ex cept for educational purposes in instructing children in the elementary branches of an English education, only," etc. The foregoing summary contains all that is said in our Constitution on the subject of common schools, and I desire simply to make a few brief remarks thereon. The first remark I make is that it is made the duty of the General Assembly to establish a thorough system, the language of the Constitution being, "There shall be a thorough system, etc." My second remark is, that it is the duty of the General Assembly to tax property, when necessary, for the sup port of schools, as witnessed by the words above quoted ; the powers of taxation "shall be exercised by the General Assembly for educational purposes," etc. My third remark is, that the granting of the right of 15 taxation to the counties is hedged about with so many conditions that it seems evident that the framers of the Con stitution intended that the power should be exercised with great caution. I would suggest, in this connection, that the result which is proposed by conferring this power can be reached much more readily by having the General Assembly to pass a law taxing property, the yield of the tax to be left, in every case, in the county where the tax is levied. Some good lawyers have held that no general act, conferring the power of local taxation, and to go into effect when all the constitutional conditions have been complied with, can be framed, which will be consti tutional ; but that, in every case, the power must be ap plied for by the particular county desiring it, and after recommendation by two grand juries. As the same result can be effected by the passage of an act by the General Assembly, which shall leave the money raised in each county in the hands of the county school authorities, I think it would be much better to take this course. My fourth and last remark relates to the limitation, so often expressed in the Constitution, of what may be done educationally, to the elementary branches of an English education. I wish it to be carefully noted, that while this limitation applies to what the State may do, and to what may be done under delegated authority, by a county, it has no application to a municipal corporation. Power may be given to such a corporation to raise money for teaching, not only the elementary branches, but any other branches of education which it may be thought de sirable to teach. Having given, in the foregoing, the minimum of what, in my opinion, our General Assembly ought to attempt at present in furnishing means for the support of schools, and having shown the origin of this obligation in the Constitution, and having briefly pointed out the modes provided in that instrument for performing the obliga 16 tion, I desire now to submit a few general principles, sanctioned by the legislative experience of many years in other States, as a guide in performing the work to be done. The first of these principles is, that the tax levied for school purposes ought to be partly a personal tax. While every citizen of the State is interested in the education of all the children, the parent of any particular child is more interested in his education than any other citizen can be. The second principle is, that the property of the whole State ought to be taxed to a certain extent, the fund thus raised being distributed among the counties upon the basis of school population. In this way the counties which are stronger financially are made to assist, to a cer tain extent, in educating the children of the weaker. In a property tax distributed on the basis of school popula tion, Fulton county, for instance, would pay about three dollars to one received back, as her distributive part. This, to a certain extent, she can very well afford to sub mit to, as she shares, by her business intercourse with other portions of the State, in the increased prosperity brought about by the general diffusion of education. The thiM principle may be thus stated : Each county ought to be required, by local taxation, or by some process equivalent thereto, to raise a portion of the fund applied to the schools of the county. It would have been better if our Constitution had been framed with fewer restric tions upon the conferring upon the counties of the power of local taxation for school purposes. In other States, the power has been given as a stimulant to self-help, with the best results. The relative amounts of the fund to be distributed on the basis of school population, and of that to be raised by local levies, or by some mode equivalent thereto, can be determined only by experience. If enough were raised by the first method alone to meet the educational wants 17 of the more wealthy counties, in which the price of every kind of labor, including teaching labor, is higher, the less wealthy counties would be glutted with a surplus of funds. In other States, from one-half to three-fourths of the en tire amount applied to the support of schools is raised by local taxation. I have now said as much, perhaps, as I ought to say; at least, as much as the limits of this Report will allow, in relation to the increase in the length of our school term, and in relation to the increase of our school fund by State appropriation, necessitated thereby. It is, perhaps, proper that I should give some account of what is being done in the same direction elsewhere. In the early part of this year I received an invitation to be present at a meeting of a body of educators in the city of Washington, one of the leading objects of which was the consideration of the question of national aid to education. The meet ing was composed largely of State and City School Su perintendents; and twenty-three States and three Terri tories were found to be represented. On the question of national aid, a large committee was appointed. The sense of the committee, as soon as organization was ef fected, was tested upon the following as propositions which ought to be embodied in any law upon this sub ject passed by Congress : ist. Whatever aid may be furnished by Congress for this purpose ought to come directly from the Treasury; that it ought to be as much, at least, as $15,000,000 per annum ; and that the appropriation ought to be continued for ten years. 2nd. That the fund ought to be applied exclusively to the support of common schools, and to the sustaining of teacher's institutes and normal schools. 3rd. That the fund ought to be distributed among the States on the basis of illiteracy, and applied simply in supplement of State appropriations and under State laws. 18 The committee voted as a unit on all these propositions; and their report was sustained by like unanimity when submitted to the meeting. The Committees of Education and Labor of the Senate and House of Representatives kindly gave us a hearing on the great question which we had met to consider. As a re sult of our efforts a bill, embodying the principles set forth in the foregoing, was introduced in the House, and is now pending. This bill appropriates $10,000,000 annually in stead of $15,000,000, and the appropriation is to be con tinued five years, instead of ten. This bill, if passed, would give to Georgia, as her quota, $800,000 per annum. It is proper to state, however, that one of the conditions of the bill is, that no State shall actu ally receive, any year, more than the entire amount raised in the State from all sources, for school purposes, the pre ceding year. Illiterate suffrage was put uppn the States of the South as a result of the reconstruction measures adopted by Congress; and it is proper that Congress should, as far as possible, afford relief against the peril in which the whole country is thereby placed. I have not failed to urge this view on all proper occasions, commencing even before the assembling of the Southern Convention which met in Atlanta in 1877 t consider this subject. With interest unabated, I would most respectfully ask the General As sembly to pass a series of resolutions in favor of national aid to education, so framed as to embody the principles set forth in the foregoing, for transmission to both Houses of Congress. On the nth day of January last, I prepared blanks for taking the enumeration of the school population. On the back of the blank the following instructions were printed: " All children over six and under eighteen years of age on the first day of June, 1882, must be included in this return. The school fund is to be apportioned among the 19 counties for four years, upon the basis of the enumeration taken this year. The return, therefore, ought to be care fully made. Nevertheless, the work ought to be made to cost as little as possible. The enumerators of the U. S. census for 1880, deposited with the Ordinaries of the vari ous counties, records which might be used to great ad vantage by the Gounty School Commissioners in making their enumeration. The age, sex, color and name of each child is given in the records referred to. The name being given, inquiry would, in most cases, show whether the child is still living; and the addition of two years to the age recorded would give the present age. It may be that the Ordinaries will permit the use of these records. Should they do so, Commissioners might appoint separate days to meet the people in the different sub-districts, taking these records with them. With the aid of intelligent citi zens, the work for a whole sub-district might be very nearly done, in this way, in a single day. Information not thus obtained could be collected by canvass. If Ordina ries will not permit the use of the records of the United States enumerators, the commissioners might, perhaps, with great advantage go through them, copying the names of the children between four and sixteen, this copy to be used in place of the original as suggested above.' Let the guiding principles in the work be enconomy, dispatch and accuracy. The return must be made to this office by the 1st of September next. It may be taken any time between this and that date." The returns made under these instructions were so evi dently inaccurate, in many cases, that, by the advice of the State Board of Education, they were corrected before they were used in making the apportionment of the school fund. The whole matter was fully explained in a circular bearing date of the 16th of October, which was distributed from this office. For the information of the General As- 2 t 20 sembly I reproduce the circular herein. It read as follows : To the County School Commissioners and Members of tht County Boards of Education of the different Counties of the State : The Gentlemen-- school law of August 23d, 1872, See. 30, requires the apportionment of the school fund to be made each year by the first day of July, or as soon thereafter as practicable. As is known to you, the apportionment was delayed in order that it might be made on the basis of the enumeration of school population to be taken this year. In order that the enumeration might be carefully taken, the County School Commissioners were given till the 1st of September to make the return. It was thought that no inconvenience would be caused by fixing the time so late, as the counties never receive their respective quotas of the school fund till the taxes are collected in the fall. A few of the County School Commissioners were behind with their returns on the 1st of September, and this caused a little further delay. When I came to make the apportionment, on comparing the returns of the school population made this year with those of 1878, I found a remarkable increase in many o! the counties, and in some of them a decrease little less re markable. This led me to examine carefully the "Advance Sheets" of certain population tables of the United States census report of 1880, which had just come into my po session. These tables give the population of the States by counties for every decade from 1790 to 1880. Experience in discussing statistics had taught me that the school pop ulation, as fixed by our law, can be obtained very nearly by dividing the entire population of a rural district by the number 3, and that of a city by 3-^. I computed, by tinrule, what ought to be the school population of every county of the State and of every city having a local school law. i 21 found these results differing very largely, in many cases, from those in the returns of the County School Commis sioners for this year. I then computed the percentage of increase, or decrease, in the returns of the County School Commissioners of this year, as compared with those of the year 1878, for every county of the State, and also the percentage of increase, or decrease, of their returns for this year as compared with the returns as estimated by me, ac cording to the rule above stated, from the census of the United States for 1880. These results I tabulated. I was thus deeply impressed with the want of reliability in the returns of this year. I felt that it would hardly be proper to apportion the school fund upon a basis so uncertain. The school law of August 23d,^1872, Sec. 8, requires the State School Commissioner to apportion the school fund of the State upon the basis of the number of youths between the ages of six and eighteen years,* and subsequent Acts re quire the County School Commissioners to take the enu meration of the youths of their respective counties between those ages, in the year 1874, and every four years there after. The law does not say expressly that the State School Commissioner shall follow this enumeration in making the apportionment. The inference is clear, however, that the contemplation of law was that it should be followed. Was this inference so clear as to make it proper to follow the enumeration in a case where injustice to many counties would be the result? Feeling much perplexed by this question, I asked the Governor to call a meeting of the State * Board of Education, that I might take their advice, as pro vided by Sec. 5, school law of August 23d, 1872. The Board met September the 15th, ult. The table carefully pre pared, as herein stated, was placed before them and their advice was asked. The action taken by the Board was communicated to the County School Commissioners of the *The Act adds, " and all Confederate soldiers under thirty years of age." Prac tically, the law is as stated, as there are now no Confederate s oldiers under thirty years of age. 22 different counties in a circular bearing the date of the meet ing of the Board. It was as follows : "The Board hold that it is not the duty of the State School Commissioner to follow the enumeration where it seems to be evidently incorrect, but to make the apportion ment upon the most reliable sources of information at his command, including the United States census of 1880." At this meeting every member of the State Board was present, and there was entire unanimity in the action taken. In the circular of September 15th, sent to the County School Commissioners as above mentioned, I gave to each of them his return, my estimate and the percentage of his return above, or below, the estimate, and asked him to re view his work, comparing it with the census return depos ited with the Ordinary, stating that I would wait till the 25th of that month to hear from him. A number of the Commissioners did write, and in all cases careful considera tion was given to their communications. I have now made the apportionment, and, in doing so, I have followed the advice of the State Board. All returns of the County School Commissioners which were within ten per cent, either above, or below, the esti mate made by me from the census of 1880, have been ac cepted as valid and acted upon. All returns which were more than ten per cent, above the estimate,rwith a few exceptions, have been reduced to within ten per cent, of that estimate, and have been acted upon thus reduced. I All returns which were more than ten per cent, below the estimate have been raised to within ten per cent, of the es timate, and have, thus corrected, been received as good. For special reasons, fifteen per cent, was added to my es timate for the counties of Carroll, Echols, Hart and Tat- nall. Corrected returns were made from the counties of Elbert, Newton, Quitman, Forsyth, Taliaferro and Spalding within the time allowed, and these corrected returns were used. 23 The estimated return for the county of Franklin was used, for a reason considered satisfactory. The returns for the counties of Muscogee and Sumter which, the rule followed in the estimate, would have required to be somewhat reduced, were used for the reason that the census tables did not give the population of the cities of Americus and Columbus, and it was therefore impossible to properly adjust the reduction between city and county. From the counties of Camden, Chattooga, Dodge and Lee no returns have been made. The only resource, there fore, in the case of these four counties was to use the re turn as estimated. The sum of the school population, as returned, is 507,167 ; as corrected, this sum is 507,861. The use of these two numbers makes a very trifling difference in the apportion ment to those counties whose returns have been left undis turbed. This difference is only 73 cents on each thousand of population. Chatham, with a school population of 13,801, receives $10.14 less than if the smaller number haq been used; while Wilcox, with a school population of 991, receives 72 cents less. I append hereunto, for the information of all persons in terested, the table which was laid before the State Board of Education, with a column added which contains the returns as corrected and used in the apportionment: 24 RETURNS OF SCHOOL POPULATION. 1 Return as corrected and used in the ap portionment. of 1882 below esti 1Percentage of Return Percentage of Return of 1882 above esti mate.

B Partial. ^Oconee county had not been formed. 38 ' I had intended to tabulate the answers received, thereby giving an exhaustive report, but the information commu nicated to me has not been sufficiently full and explicit. I submit the following condensed information as bearing up on the main subject of inquiry. From the following counties the report is, no debt was contracted in 1871, viz: Bibb, Bryan, Chatham and Coffee. In the following counties the debt has been paid in full, viz : Baker, Banks, Bartow, Berrien, Butts, Camden, Camp bell, Carroll, Cherokee, Dooly, Dougherty, Early, Fulton, Hancock, Jackson, Jones, Lee, McDuffie, McIntosh, Miller, Oglethorpe, Polk, Putnam, Pulaski, Richmond, Screven, Sumter, Tatnall, Thomas, Towns, Wayne and Worth. No unpaid claims can be found in the following counties, viz : Bullock, Catoosa, Chattooga, Clarke, Columbia, El bert, Irwin, Pierce, Randolph, Walker, Warren, Ware, White, Whitfield and Wilkes. In the following counties the Boards of Education scaled the accounts, and thus scaled, they were settled, viz : Cal houn, Chattahoochee, Gilmer, Jasper, Jefferson, Johnson, Lincoln, Murray, Spalding, Stewart and Twiggs. In the following counties the debt is reported as either paid or settled, viz: Dade, Effingham, Franklin, Floyd, Hall, Hart, Henry, Houston, Macon, Taliaferro and Wash ington. In the following counties what was not paid by the Board was paid by patrons, viz: Colquitt,* Gwinnett and Haber sham. From the following counties there has been no report, viz : Appling, Baldwin, Brooks, Burke, Clayton, Coweta, Dawson, Decatur, DeKalb, Dodge, Emanuel, Glynn, Har ris, Laurens, Lumpkin, Rockdale, Schley, Troup, Upson, Walton and Wilkinson- Reports from some of the conn- ^The County School Commissioner finds it difficult to obtain the information in this county, the records having been burnt. He says that action was taken by the Board of Education, scaling the accounts, and that the grand jury took action adverse to the Act of 1874 : also that L. A. Hall has a claim for $40.00. 39 ties were sent back for correction and were not returned. This may be true of some of the foregoing counties. The files in this office show no report from these counties. From the following counties there has been no report, but from evidence before me I think I can report for them no debt, viz: Charlton, Cobb, Forsyth, Liberty, Madison, Marion, Meriwether and Muscogee. Telfair reports "The facts cannot be obtained, the records being burned." The following are reported as debts unpaid: In Clay, $777.27; in' Clinch, $83.20; in Douglas, $1,070.12; in Echols, $183.13 ;* in Fannin, $1,475 ; in Greene, $2,012.48, of which $900 is due the County School Commissioner; in Haralson, $795.22; in Heard, about $1,050 ; in Lowndes, $736.88; in Milton, $255.15 ; in Mitchell, $138 ; in Mon roe, about $950; in Montgomery, $1,787.34; in Newton, apparently about $1,500 ; in Paulding, $500; in Quitman, $69.50 (M. C. Edwards writes that Quitman owes him $57.26); in Kabun, $214.26; in Terrell, $2,014.66; in Union, $43, due to the County School Commissioner ; in Webster, apparently, $683.10; and in Wilcox an unascer tained sum. From Crawford the report is $203.14 still due, but the Commissioner seems satisfied that a part of this has been paid by patrons. From Fayette an apparent debt of $1,821.19 is reported, but the Commissioner thinks that the teachers were paid by their patrons. The Commissioner of Glasscock reports the debt in that county at $340. Is not this a mistake ? This sum was originally reported as the debt, and the county received, under the act of 1872, $396.05. The report from Morgan is not very clear; but the debt seems to have been settled. *A later report states the amount still due .as $411.72. These figures do not tally with the debt as originally reported. 40 Ocnee reports $84 as due a resident of that county, though in 1871 the county had not been organized. The Commissioner of Pickens thinks that patrons have paid teachers, but says that there are some persons who say they have claims. In Pike $104.06 is still due the County School Commis sioner according to the report. Taylor reports an apparent debt--amount not clearly stated. I have endeavored, in the foregoing, to give all the ma terial facts reported to this office. I close this long account of matters connected with the debt of 1871, with one or two statements. It will be seen from the table given above that the whole debt of 1871 amounted toi $296,675.36. The total enroll ment of children in the schools of that year was 49,576. Dividing the former sum by the latter and we obtain $5.98 as the cost per pupil on enrollment. The schools were kept up only three months. Dividing $5.98 by 3, and we ob tain $1.99^ as the monthly cost per pupil on enrollment. The State has paid $174,000 towards the liquidation of this debt by a direct tax. Divide this sum by 49,576, and we have $3.50 as the sum already paid per capita on enrollment for three months, or a monthly per capita of $1.16*. Notwithstanding all that has been done in this matter, it may be that some just claims remain unpaid. It might be best to pass a well guarded act authorizing County Boards to settle any of these old claims which can be established as reasonable, just and true, beyond cavil. ' The 243,000 children who were in our schools last year were taught by 6,128 teachers. > ^Three hundred and seventyone of these teachers were teachers in cities and counties under local laws. A few hundreds of them were college graduates. I think it might be safely assumed that five thousand of these teachers were persons of limited educa tion. / Only a few hundreds of our youths will enter the 41 colleges from year to year. The great majority of them-- the number running up into tens and even hundreds of thousands--never will and never ought to enter a college. Shall we continue to have the great bulk of our youth taught by comparatively incompetent teachers? If the children of the great body of our people are to receive all the education they ever will receive in our common schools, is it not all important that these schools should be provided with the best possible teachers l Can our colleges furnish the teacheis needed in these common schools? Will a young man who has spent three or four years in preparing for college, and three or four years in passing through the col lege classes, after all this expenditure of time and money, be content to enter one of our country schools as a teacher? Really, is it necessary for one tt> spend so much time and money in preparing himself to teach a school in which nothing more is taught than " the elementary branches of an English education." Are not the means expended disproportionate to the end ? A person who teaches a com mon school ought to be taught in branches, to a certain ex tent, beyond the curriculum of such a school. It is by no means necessary, however, for him to pass entirely through a college curriculum. Moreover, elsewhere women have, to a large extent, been the teachers of the common school. History will, in this, as in a thousand other things, repeat itself in Georgia. I, for one, am glad that this avenue to * honorable employment is opening up to our women. The drift of this reasoning shows that/a Normal School, open to entrance on the part of both sexes, is a necessity in order to the successful conduct of our common schools. On this pressing necessity I base the right of the General Assembly to establish a Normal School separate from the University. The Constitution says there shall be "a thorough system of common schools," and there cannot be a thorough system without thoroughly prepared teachers, and these, in turn, cannot be had without the Normal School. As was shown 42 in ray last Report, eminent legal gentlemen have held a dif ferent view from the above. The argument above made, nevertheless, has been pronounced sound by our present able Attorney-General, and I have been authorized to refer to him as endorsing it. I have said nothing in the forego ing about the necessity of training which shall be strictly professional. That kind , of training is needed for all the professions. This is unniversally conceded. Then why is it not as necessary for the profession of teaching, if that pursuit may be so called ? Of two teachers, having the same gifts, and of likeattainments.oneof whom has received, in addition, professional training, and the other has not, the former will do twofold more efficient work. This is conceded all over the world where Normal School instruc tion has been tested. I urge upon the General Assembly the consideration of this subject. If, on investigation, they find they have the power to do so, it would be better to establish a Normal School as a separate institution;fif they have not that power, then let the institution be created as a branch of our Uni versity. This could be done without any'additional outlay of money for buildings, by turning the Middle Georgia College at Milledgeville into a Normal School. The public buildings there already belong to the State, and have re cently been put in good repair. I have had repeated as surances of aid from the Peabody Fund if the State will move irUfhis matter. These assurances have come from the present General Agent, Dr. Curry. I have a letter from that gentleman before me now, dated October 20th, in which he says : "If State Legislatures will organize and- ^ support Normal Schools, the Peabody Educational Fund will be cheerfully used in aid of them and for their en largement." The main object of the school should be to give the necessary instruction for turning out efficient teachers for our common schools. For this purpose per sons of a sufficient English education should be received 43 from any of our schools, and put upon a course of profes sional training. Special training should also be provided for persons of higher academic or collegiate education, with the view of furnishing' a limited number of teachers of the highest grade. I have every reason to believe that an appropriation of $6,000, which might be made from our School Fund, would be supplemented by two or three thou sand dollars contributed from the Peabody Fund, and with this sum a most excellent school of the kind might be sus tained. I would further suggest that the Normal Department of the Atlanta University might receive aid and be used in this way for the benefit of the colored people if it is thought, by the General Assembly, that we can begin, at this time, to make similar provision for raising up a supply of col ored teachers. The colored people, however, have already received very largely outside help, and a recent addition to this help has been made in the Slater Fund. Their neces sities are not really so pressing in this matter as those of the white people. As directly related to the foregoing, I propose next to give an account of the Teachers' Institutes held by me last summer. It will be remembered that I tasked from the last General Assembly an appropriation to ena ble me to inaugurate work of that kind in this State. Failing to obtain the appropriation sought, I applied to the General Agent of the Peabody fund for the necessary means, who placed $2,000 at my disposal for this purpose and put the whole enterprise under my con trol and mauagement.' With this sum I conducted three institutes, one in South Georgia, at Americus, one in Mid dle Georgia, at Milledgeville, and one in North Georgia, at Toccoa. These institutes were held simultaneously, and were continued during the whole of the month of August. Twelve instructors were chosen for the work, one superin tendent and three associates for each institute.1 A number 44 of eminent gentlemen were invited to visit the institutes and deliver lectures and addresses. The Hon. James H. Smart, Ex-State Superintendent for the State of Indiana, a gentleman of large experience in conducting institutes, was selected as Gleneral Superintendent. The whole work was under my direction. In company with Mr. Smart I went from institute to institute, spending the whole month in looking after this interest. In order to draw attention to the enterprise, I sent out in advance ^printed announce ments all over the State, and visited personally ten of the larger towns and cities for the purpose of meeting the teach ers and explaining the nature of the work proposed. I also solicited the attendance of the County School Com missioners, that I might give them a few days of instruc tion in the duties of their office. As a result, we had in attendance 154 white teachers, and 98 colored, making a total of 252, and 30 County School Commissioners. ; More than half the counties of the State were represented. I con sider the whole work a remarkable one, for a beginning. Mr. Smart remarked to me that our Georgia institutes would compare in the excellence of the work done -very favorably with the average of the work of that kind done in Indiana after an experience, in that State, of fifteen years,' I con sider the services rendered us by Mr. Smart as valuable in the highest degree. I may also add, that experience proved that I had not made a mistake in selecting my corps of in structors and superintendents. For fuller information I subjoin the reports of the different institute superintend ents. I had also expected to present a statement from Mr. Smart, the General Superintendent, but owing to a misun derstanding it has not been furnished. I may also add that Prof. S. P. Sanford, of Mercer University and Mr. H. C. Mitchell, of Atlanta, acted, at my request, as joint super intendents of the North Georgia Institute, Prof. John W. Glenn, of Jefferson, who was originally chosen, being una ble to attend, on account of sickness. 45 REPORT OP THE SOUTH GEORGIA INSTITUTE. Hon. O. J. Orr, State School Commissioner : I have the honor, herewith to submit the the following report of the Teachers' Institute, held at Americus, during the month of August, of the present year. According to instructions isssusd from your office in At lanta, the institute was organized under the direction of W. H. Baker, Savannah, John M. Gannon, Savannah, John Neely Americus and B. T. Hunter, Albany. At a prelimi nary meeting, Mr. John Neely was appointed Secretary. It was decided at this meeting that in the conduct of the in stitute the system of lectures should be combined with the routine of work usually done in the best schools. The accompanying list will show that there were in at tendance, forty-one white and forty-one colored teachers, representing twenty-two counties. Daily instruction was given in Arithmetic, English Grammer, Geography, Read ing and Spelling. ' This instruction was not entirely of a technical and theoretical character, but it was the endeavor of each instructor to give it that direction which would make the samfe available in the practical work of the school room. It was very gratifying to note the fidelity, earnestness, and enthusiasm with which the teachers devoted themselves to their self imposed tasks. Day after day, during the ex cessive heat of August, they were present, intent upon re ceiving all the instruction that could be given in the short time allotted to the session of the institute. Questions were freely asked as to the best way of meeting the pecu liar difficulties encountered in the daily experience of the teacher, and opportunities were afforded for discussions of the most approved methods of teaching. In the colored class the work was of a very elementary character. These teachers, however, addressed themselves with great zeal to the performance of the duties required of 46 them, and showed a commendable desire to fit themselves for their imoortant work. At the close of the session a l written examination was had on each subject) and the results of the same placed upon the certificate given to each teacher. The institute was unquestionably a great success, and the teachers returned to their homes and to their work with renewed interest, and with a determination to put into practice what they had learned. I am satisfied that the cause of public education in the State would be advanced by the multiplication of these in stitutes. They should be so located as to be accessible to all the teachers of the different sections with the least ex pense. The success of our educational system depends in large measure upon the intelligence of the teachers employed, and in the infancy of the system, it is especially important that those who are appointed to teach in the schools should be thoroughly trained for their work. The instructors and the teachers of the institute are un der obligations to Dr. A. J. Battle and Prof. J. E. Willett of Mercer University, and to the Hon. J.H. Smart, for lec tures during the session. They are indebted to the good people of Americus for their generous hospitality and for the interest they manifested in the success of the institute. In conclusion, I beg, in behalf of my colleagues, to ex press for them and myself our grateful appreciation of your confidence and kindness. Respectfully submitted, (Signed) W. H. Baker, Sujj't So. Georgia Institute. Savannah, Oct. 2>rd, 1882. 47 REPORT OF THE MIDDLE GEORGIA INSTITUTE. Macon, Ga., September 12th, 1882. lion, G. J. Orr, State School Commissioner: Dear Sir--I respectfully submit my report of the Mid dle Georgia Institute, held under your direction ir the city of Milledgeville during the month of August. In accordance with your suggestion, 1 entered into cor respondence early in July, with the instructors named by you as my associates, with a view to dividing out the work to be done. Superintendent Benjamin Neely, of Augusta, expressed a preference for Arithmetic, Rev. J. T. Me. Laughlin, of Talbotton, preferred Reading and Spelling, and Prof. W. B. Bonnell, of Covington, asked that English Grammar and Composition be assigned to him. These preferences were gratified, leaving Geography and Pen manship to be cared for by myself. By previous arrangement the instructors met in Milledge ville, on Monday, July 31st, to compare views and arrange a definite programme. It was decided that there should be a daily session of four hours in each department, white and colored, of the institute, both beginning at 8.30 a. m., and closing at 12.30 r. m., and that the session should be opened each day with short devotional exercises conducted in turn by the four instructors. The white department was formally opened in the Mid dle Georgia Military and Agricultural College building, at 9 o'clock, Tuesday, August 1st, with an attendance of thirty teachers, and others interested in the work of edu cation. A brief statement was made by each instructor, setting forth the manner in which the respective subjects would be presented, and the daily programme was announced and information given in reference to text books and other matters connected with the institute. A short recess fol lowed to afford social intercourse, after which the class was dismissed, and the instructors proceeded in a body to the 48 Eddy schoolhouse-to organize the colored department. Ten teachers were in attendance, and the class was at once or ganized. The same order of exercises was given as had been presented in the white department, and at one o'clock the class was dismissed for the day. The attendance in each department increased daily, until it reached about fifty-five whites and twenty colored. The average daily attendance for the term of four weeks, as shown by my register, was forty eight whites and twenty, three colored, making a total daily attendance of seventyone. The total number enrolled at the close of the term was sixty-eight (68) in the white department and forty-seven in the colored, or a total in both of one hundred and fif teen [115). Sessions were held regularly according to our programme each day for four weeks, except Monday, July 31st, which was spent, as above stated, in making definite arrangements for the work. In addition to the regular exercises we had on each Fri day an " experience meeting," in which questions relating to school difficulties and matters occurring daily in school were propounded and discussed. Among these were the following: 1. How can regular attendance be secured ? 2. How can good lessons be secured ? 3. Ought prizes ever to be offered in school ? 4. How long ought Geography to be studied as a daily session ? 5. When should English Grammar be taken up! 6. How can reading be taught when each child in the class has a different reading book ? 7. Should pupils be kept in after school? 8. What is the best form of report to send to parents ? These experience meetings were greatly enjoyed by the class, and were, perhaps, for the time they consumed the most profitable exercises of the institute. 49 During the term two evening lectures were delivered, one by Hon. J. H. Smart, ex-State School Superintendent of Indiana, and the other by Rev. Mr. Stoney, of Milledge ville. The former was, on request of the colored teachers, repeated in the colored Baptist church, for the benefit of the colored people, very few of whom were present at the first lecture. Two entertainments,consisting of songs,recitations and cal isthenics, were also given by the teachers and pupils of the Middle Georgia Military and Agricultural College. These lectures and entertainments were largely attended, and were much enjoyed by the members of the institute. Of your own visit to the institute, and Prof. Smart's presence with us for a few days, it is nor. necessary for me to speak, as so many evidences of the appreciation of them by the teachers were manifested during your stay with us. The conferences held by you with the County School Com missioners and Superintendents were highly profitable, and must result in great good to the cause of popular education in this section of the State. Of the value of the institute to the teachers and others in attendance there was but one opinion. The universal verdict among them was that every member had been bene fited. Humorous inquiries from teachers who were unable to attend this year, as to when and where the next institute will be held, leave no room to doubt that the work is appre ciated by many of those for whose direct benefit it was undertaken. In my judgment there is no more important work in con nection with our public school system than that of training teachers, and I think it would be true economy on the part of the State to expend a portion of her school revenue in providing for this work, either by organizing ``migratory" institutes to move from section to section, or by establish ing a "Normal School"in some locality where board is cheap, and providing for a number of scholarships, say of $100 4 50 value, to be awarded on merit and upon certain conditions of service in return after graduation. In accordance with your own plans, and through the val uable assistance and co-operation of Mr. L. Carrington, School Commissioner of Baldwin county, the teachers were all comfortably provided for at very reasonable rates of board, the whites paying $15.00 and the colored $10.00 per month. I send herewith an outline of the work done by each in structor In his respective department. In the lectures and exercises in reading and spelling by Mr. McLaughlin, so much of detail is necessary to be presented in order to un derstand and appreciate his methods, that I felt warranted in obtaining from him, and including in my report, a full outline of the work as given by him to the class.* In conclusion permit me to express my appreciation of your generous consideration for myself, and be assured that in your labors in the grand cause of popular education you ' have my hearty sympathy and my earnest desire for your success. Yery respectfully, (Signed.) B. M. Zettlee, Supt. Mid. Ga. Institute. REPORT OF THE NORTH GEORGIA INSTITUTE. Atlanta, Ga., October 12th, 1882. Hon. G. J. Orr : Dear iSVr--Having, in conjunction with Prof. S. P. Sanford, of Macon, had the supervision of the North Georgia Teachers'Institute at Toccoa, Ga., diring the month of August, 1S82, I respectfully unite with him in making the following report of the work done by our organization : The institute opened at the Methodist church in Toccoa on the 1st day of August, with upwards of twenty teachers *1 hardly have room in this Report for printing the outlines here referred to ; and as they would be valuable rather to teachers than members of the General Assembly, I omit them. 51 in attendance, which number was increased from day to day until we had enrobed 45 white teachers, 10 colored, and 15 County Commissioners--total, 70, representing 30 counties. It was our object, from the first, to make our institute a model of plain, practical, school work, using the most ap proved methods, and this end was kept, constantly in view. We had four instructors present, viz: Prof. S. P. San ford, of Mercer University, Miss Laura Haygood, of the Girl's High School of this city, Mrs. F. C. Mallon, of At lanta, and the writer of this report. The branches of study assigned to the writer weie Geog raphy and History. In one or the other of these he con ducted daily recitations. He endeavored in these recita tions to make use of the best methods, and he gave especial attention to the study of the map of the State of Georgia, using for this purpose the surveys made by the State, and reviving as many historical incidents of the State as pos sible. The department of Primary Reading, Primary Gram mar and Penmanship was ably represented by Miss Haygood. Mrs. Mallon gave a series of highly successful lessons in Reading and Elocution, which were varied with instruction in the Hygiene of the school-room and the. analysis of Eng lish poetry. Mr. Smart, of Indiana, an able school officer, and General Superintendent of all tiie institutes, edified the teachers to a high degree by his most valuable lectures on school instruction and management. Another feature of the Institute was the delivery of a series of popular and scientific lectures by prominent edu cators and public men during the evenings. These lectures were well attended by the teachers and citizens. Among the lecturers were Dr. II. II. Tucker, Judge Bleckley, Prof. White, of Athens, Dr. C. W. Lane, of Athens, Col. Sam 52 uel Barnett, Brof. Rufus Smith, Col. David W. Lewis, and Dr. J. H. Smart. We had in attendance a body of very intelligent teach ers from every part of the State--from the public schools of Savannah, Macon, Atlanta and Americus; from Ath ens, Washington, Newnan, Gainesville, Louisville, Forsyth, and from very many counties in the State. The local schools of Toccoa were often in attendance upon our sessions. At the close of the institute certificates of attendance were issued to the teachers, and the writer shares in the opinion he often heard expressed, that the session of the North Georgia Teachers' Institute accomplished much good for the educational in! erests of Georgia. Very respectfully yours, (Signed.) H. C. Mitchell. Dr. G. J. Orr: Atlanta. Ga., October 19th, 1882. Dear Sir : The foregoing report has been sub mitted to Prof. S. P. Sanford, who approves it in these words : "I am very much pleased with it, for I thinkit ex presses all the points very clearly. I heartily endorse your opinion as to the good effected by the North Georgia Teachers' Institute." The following addition to the report is now made: Prof; S. P. Sanford had charge of the Department of Arithmetic, and gave daily lessons on the best method of teaching that science, illustrating his instructions by nu merous practical examples in the fundamental rules, as also in Reduction, Fractions, Percentage, Proportion, etc. The superior advantages of the analytic method were fully dis cussed before the teachers, and clearness and simplification in the presentation of subjects, especially to beginners in Arithmetic, were strongly urged. 53 The Metric System was also explained and illustrated by models of the mitre, gramme, litre, etc. I am, Doctor, Yery respectfully yours, (Signed.) C. H. Mitchell. I may add to the foregoing that I asked and obtained re duced rates of transportation from the Savannah, Florida and Western Railroad, from the Central Railroad and its numerous divisions, from the Richmond and Danville Rail road, the Rome Railroad, the Cherokee Railroad, the West ern and Atlantic Railroad, the East Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia Railroad, Macon and Brunswick Division, and the Columbus and Rome Railroad, and that reduced rates of boarding for visiting teachers were secured at the sites of all the institutes. I have been so impressed with the value of this institute work in its eifect, not only upon the teachers, but upon communities and the public at large, that I hereby ask. au thority from the General Assembly to use annually, for this purpose, under the direction of the State Board of education, $2,50.0 of the School Fund, or so much thereof as may be necessary. This sum would doubtless be sup plemented from the Peabody Fund, as the Trustees of that fund have determined to use the annual income at their disposal largely in that way. I cannot close this account without expressing, in behalf of the people of Georgia and of myself, personally, our obligations to Dr. Curry for the opportunity of making, this year, a beginning of what will doubless prove, in the end, a great work for the State. I beg leave to submit a statement of the donations in aid of public education in Georgia, made by Dr. Curry, the General Agent of the Peabody Fund, for the last two years 54 In 1880-81 these donations were as follows: For free scholarships at the State Normal College at . Nashville, Tenn.......................................................$4^100 For free scholarships for colored pupils in the At lanta University..................................................... 1,000 For State Agency............................................... 600 Total................................................................. $5,600 In 1881-82 donations forlikepurposes were made as fol lows : For free scholarship at the State Normal College at Nashville, Tenn....................................................... $4,000 For free scholarships for colored pupils in the At lanta University ..................................................... 1,000 For Teachers' Institutesin Georgia.......................... 2,000 For services and expenses of the State School Com missioner in getting up, attending and conducting the institutes................................................. . 600 For the schools ofAmericus............................ 800 Total.................................................... $8,400 The $600 paid to the State School Commissioner in 1880-81 was to defray his expenses in the educational can vass of the State conducted by him that year, and to pro vide additional clerical aid in his office necessitated by his absence. Of the $2,000 put at my disposal for the institutes held this year I paid out as follows: To General Superintendent................................. $ 300 To the Superintendents and Teachers of the insti tutes .................................................................... 1,455 To lecturers and foiexpenses.............................. 135 $1,890 55 As Dr. Curry actually sent me only $1,990 for the insti tutes, t'mreis still left in my hands $100. During the last two years we have had twenty ap pointees at Nashville and fourteen in the Atlanta Univer sity. The appointees at Nashville receive $200 per an num, each, and free tuition. The fourteen sent to the At lanta University are very geneiously boarded and taught by the authorities of that institution for the $1,000 appro priated. All appointments are made by the State School Commis sioner. The appointees are required to make a statement in wri ting that it is their purpose to make teaching a profession, and that they seek the benefaction with that object in view. They are required, further, to sign an obligation, binding them actually to teach two years at least, after completing their education, provided they can find employment of that kind. I most cheerfully bear testimony to the fidelity, zeal, efficiency and ability of Dr. Curry, the present General Agent of this Fund. In closing this Deport, I ask the General Assembly to give their earnest attention to the different subjects dis cussed, and to the several recommendations made therein. GUSTAYUS J.

General Note.--In the reports of the^funds for the various counties, there is not that completeness which could be desired. Owing to the inability of the County School Com missioners to come to a settlement with the Ta'x Collectors in time for this report..the statement of the poll-tax is, in a few cases, little better than an estimate. There are also some small items vhich were reported separately by the Commissioners, but were added to their report of poll-tax to avoid a multiplicity of notes.
