I have often been asked how much money it would take to keep up public schools for six months of the year. This question has often been asked me by members of the General Assembly. I have, therefore, thought it advisable to make an estimate and place it on record for the information of any who may be interested in the inquiry. Our Constitution limits what may be taught in our country schools to "the elementary branches of an English education." The school law provides for teach ing Spelling, Reading, Writing, Arithmetic, Geography and English Grammar. This provision of law may be con sidered as a legislative interpretation of the Constitution. If anything above these branches should be taught in a school, the teaching must be paid for by the parents of the children thus taught. One teacher can readily teach and govern a school of forty-five pupils. Experience shows that an enrollment of forty-five pupils will make an aver- 7 age attendance of thirty. One dollar per capita on average attendance would pay the teacher thirty dollars per month. When it is considered that the elementary branches only are to be paid for, that women are at pres ent, in large numbers, doing the teaching, and that the pay would be certain, I think it will be admitted that the wages named would secure competent teachers. Of course teachers with better qualifications, who teach higher branches, could increase their compensation by charging the patrons for the higher branches. Now, the average attendance last year was, in round numbers, 210,000, and with our present school population, this is known to be a reasonable average. From these data it may be safely assumed that , $210,000 would sustain the schools one month. $420,000 would sustain the schools two months. $630,000 would sustain the schools three months. $840,000 would sustain the schools four months. $1,050,000 would sustain the schools five months. $1,260,000 would sustain the schools six months. The foregoing estimate makes no allowance for oper ating the system. This, as has been shown in another place, is at present very small. With the increase of the fund, the duties of the County School Commissioners would be heavier, and the responsibility of holding and disbursing funds would be greater, and consequently it would be necessary to increase their compensation. This increase, however, ne^d not be, and would not be, in proportion to the increase in the fund. PRIVATE HIGH SCHOOLS. It will be seen by referring to the proper table that re-: ports of private`high schools were received from only sixty-four counties. No reports of this kind were received from Appling, Baker, Baldwin, Banks, Berrien, Bibb, Bryan, Bulloch, Burke, Calhoun, Camden, Charlton, Chatham, Cherokee, Clayton, Clinch, Coffee, Columbia, Colquitt, Crawford, Dawson, DeKalb, Dodge, Dougherty, Douglas, Echols, Emanuel, Fayette, Forsyth, Franklin, Glasscock, Glynn, Gordon, Habersham, Hancock, Haralson, Irwin, Jeffer 8 son, Johnson, Laurens, Lee, Madison, McIntosh, Miller, Muscogee, Newton, Oconee, Paulding, Pierce, Polk, Put nam, Quitman, Randolph, Richmond, Schley, Spalding, Stewart, Talbot, Taliaferro, Tatnall, Taylor, Telfair, Thomas, Towns, Troup, Twiggs, Wayne, Webster, White, Whitfield, Wilcox, Wilkinson and Worth--in all 73 counties. Of the aforenamed, Banks, Bibb, Burke, Cherokee, Emanual, Hancock, Jefferson, Laurens, Lincoln, Lowndes, Newton, Putnam, Richmond, Spalding, Stewart, Talia ferro, Taylor, Troup, Ware, Whitfield and Wilkinson-- in all 2i counties--reported private high schools in 1884. Thirteen others of these non-reporting counties, within my personal knowledge, have had private high schools within a few years past, viz.: Bulloch, Chatham, DeKalb, Dodge, Dougherty, Forsyth, Gordon, Muscogee, Pierce, Polk, Talbot, Thomas and Twiggs. The foregoing demonstrates that the report for 1885 must be very meagre; and yet it exhibits 150 high schools, with 321 teachers; 5,666 male pupils, 4,827 female; total, 10,493. All these schools were for white pupils. The cause of the incompleteness of the report made in the table is the lack of legal power to compel teachers to make their reports. The false impression prevails that our public schools have very largely broken up the private high schools of the State. In order to remove this impression, I cannot do better, perhaps, than to quote froih a circular sent out by me oil the 23d of April, 1885. P The quotation has reference to the table of high schools for 1884, as pub lished by me. It is as follows: "A comparison of this table with another document now in my desk reveals some interesting facts. /The document referred to is an educational report made^to the Legislature in i860 by the Hon. David W. Lewis, then a member of the House of Representatives from the county of Hancock, at this time President of the North Georgia Agricultural Col lege at Dahlonega. This report contains much more val uable information than any ante helium publication of the kind that5! have yet been able to find, and does infinite credit to its author. It shows that there were ninety-six 9 county academies in operation in the State in i860. The institutions known as county academies comprised the bulk of the intermediate schools in existence at that time.') Diligent as Mr. Lewis evidently was, I doubt not his re^ port lacked much of being a full one. I can say the same of my own table with which I am about to compare it. I know of schools not reported in my table; and I know of a number of counties where high schools were in op eration that are not represented at all in the table. I will make one further remark, and then I will proceed with the comparison. That remark is this: the year covered by Mr. Lewis' report belongs to a period of prosperity almost unexampled in all our ante bellum history. The white population of Georgia was 591,550 in i860, and 816,906 in 1880. A calculation on the basis of these figures will show an increase in the twenty years from I860 to 1880 of 38 per cent. Supposing the rate of in crease to have been the same during the four years be tween 1880 and the end of 1884, the entire increase since i860 would be within a small fraction of' 46 per cent. Now, as has been stated, the number of academies re ported by Mr. Lewis, in 1860, was 96. These were all white schools. The number of similar white schools re ported by me for last year is 152. This gives an increase in the number of white schools of this class since i860 of a little over 56 per cent. In other words, the increase in the white populatiaH-jBpce i860 has been only 46 per cent., while the increase in the number of white high schools has been 56 per cent. It has been repeated a thousand times in the last few years, that our public schools have broken up very largely our academies and high schools. The foregoing discussion does not seem to confirm this opinion." A comparison of Mr. Lewis' re port with the table of high schools for 1885 gives results identical with the foregoing. PRIVATE ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS. The table of private elementary schools for 1885 ex hibits the following statistics: number of schools 966; at tendance, total white 26,837, total colored 8,559, total white and colored 35,396. 10 Only seventy-five counties are reported in the table. No reports were received from the following counties: Appling, Berrien, Bibb, Brooks, Bryan, Burke, Camden, Campbell, Charlton, Chatham, Chattahoochee, Chattoo ga, Clarke, Clayton, Clinch, Coffee, Colquitt, Dade, Dawson, Decatur, DeKalb, Dodge, Dooly, Dougherty, Douglas, Early, Echols, Effingham, Elbert, Emanuel, Forsyth, Fulton, Glasscock, Glynn, Gordon, Hancock, Haralson, Hart, Houston, Jefferson-, Johnson, Lee, Lowndes, Lumpkin, Mclntoch, Miller, Muscogee, New ton, Paulding, Pickens, Polk, Pulaski, Rabun, Richmond, Rockdale, Spalding, Stewart, Sumter, Thomas, Towns, Ware and Webster. In Bibb, Chatham and Richmond the private elementa ry schools are superseded by well-conducted public schools. Of the foregoing non-reporting counties, Burke, Chat tooga, Dougherty, Hancock, Haralson, Hart, Muscogee, Rockdale, Spalding, Stewart and Thomas reported pri vate elementary schools in 1884. I doubt not an exami nation of the tables in the reports of the years preceding 1884 would show that others of these non-reporting counties have made reports at different times. The reason of the incompleteness of the reports of the schools of this class is the same as that given for incom pleteness in the case of the private high schools. WHAT SHALL BE DONE FOR THE SCHOOLS ? The public school is the poor man's college. The great bulk of the children of the State will never go to any other. In the foregoing it has been shown that 310,000 of them were in the public schools in 1885. Of the 10,493 pupils reported as being in private high schools, not more than one-sixth perhaps, or 1,749 were pursuing high school studies. The other five-sixths, or 8,745 of them, were pursuing the legal branches and re ceived the benefit of the public school fund during the public school term. If the number of these high school pupils had been doubled by a fuller report, the great and pregnant fact remains, that the bulk of the children will 11 get all the education they will ever receive in the. public schools. In addition to this great fact there is another of equal weight. The census of 1880 makes the alarming exhibit that we have in Georgia 128,000 white persons over ten years of age, and 392,000 colored persons of the same class, making a total of 520,000, one-third of the entire population, who cannot write their names. Words cannot give as much emphasis to the necessity of an efficient State system of common schools as is given by these facts. In view of them it is pertinent to ask, what has the State done to meet this necessity ? I would be the last man to underrate what has been accomplished amid great difficulties. We have had public schools in operation fifteen years. The increase in attendance, as has already been shown, has gone regularly forward, and from year to year small additions have been made to the fund. / For fourteen years public schools have been kept in operation in every militia district throughout the State;! and the attendance has gone up until, as has been shown, in 1885, seventy-one per cent, of the white school popula tion and forty-nine of the colored, or sixty-one per cent, of the entire population, white and colored, was enrolled in the schools. The work has been a great one consider ing the amount expended in sustaining it. The question arises, can we not now afford to make some marked advance in this matter? As has been seen the gross school fund of 1885 yielded $ 1.63 jf>er capita of enrolled chil dren, and $2.4.2 fler capita on average attendance. After deducting all expenses, the actual amount that went to paying for teaching the children^was $1.54 a head on enrollment and $2.29 on average attendance. This sum was sufficient to keep up the schools for something over two months, and they were kept in operation for three months only by the force of a provision of law which compels patrons to supplement. I do not think that we ought now to be content with less than a six months school. The rural population--and that class comprises the larger portion of our people--could not longer spare their children from domestic and farm labor. The State, however, should not be expected to raise the entire fund 12 necessary for this purpose. No State has ever yet attempted to sustain a school system by a State fund exclusively. The universal custom is for the State to raise part of the fund, leaving the remainder to be raised by local levies. The State ought now, in my judgment, to make provision from her own resources for a four months school. If asked how this should be done, I should ask first for the raising of money enough to pay a debt due to this de partment. When I came into office in 1872, there were in the hands of the Secretary of State bonds to the amount of $350,000, issued under an Act approved December u 1858, to provide for the education of the children of the State. At a meeting of the State Board of Education, held April 1st, 1872, these bonds were recognized as a part of the State school fund. In my report, made in 1874,1 called attention to them, and asked that provision be made for the payment of the interest then due. In the reports made in 1875 and 1876, attention was called to the subject, and the same request was made. A resolu tion was adopted by the General Assembly in 1876 re questing the Governor to have these bonds destroyed, and the Governor complied with the request in the reso lution. These bonds were in existence as an educational fund when the Constitution of 1868 was adopted, and that Constitution devoted " any educational fund now be longing to the State, except the endowment of, and debt due to the State University," to the support of common schools. I have never heard a doubt expressed by any one as to the effect of this constitutional provision. All agree that it at once made them a part of the public school fund. At the time these bonds were destroyed, there had been trouble growing out of the payment of illegal bonds, and the only reason given for their destruction was that they might fall into the hands of those who would make a fraudulent use of them. It was alleged that the destruc tion of the bonds did not destroy the right of the Educa tional Department to them, but simply the evidence of that right, and that abundant documentary evidence of this latter could be produced at any time. The portion of the argument going to show that the destruction of the 13 bonds did not destroy the right of this Department to their proceeds is certainly true. I must, therefore, ask the General Assembly to put this claim in such form as shall put the right beyond all question, and to make provision for the payment of the interest now due. There might be some question as to when the interest due this Depart ment should begin to run. Some of the bonds were ex ecuted in 1859, and others in i860. All of them bore in terest at 6 per cent. Hardly any one would question the opinion that the interest ought to begin to run at the time of the adoption of the Constitution of 1868. This would give this department eighteen years'interest, which, at 6 per cent., would be $378,000. I ask that provision be made for the paj^ment of this interest. I have said that the State ought to provide at once for a foui'. months' school. (I know of no way by which this can be done except by a tax on property. The tax digest for 1886 shows a return of property amounting in the aggregate to $306,507,578. Add to this $22,981,927, the value of such railroad property as is taxable, and we have $329,489,505, which is the aggregate of the taxable property of the State. ( One-tenth of 1 per cent,: on this gives a gross yield of $329,489.50. The cost of collect ing and losses from insolvency amount to 7 per cent. Take from the gross yield, viz., $329,489.50, 7 per cent., which is $23,064.26, and we have as the net yield $306,425.24. If this be added to the aggregate school fund of 1885, viz., $506,328.6$, the result is $812,753.92. This is about what a tax of one-tenth of 1 per cent, would make the State school fund if existing sources of school revenue should be continued and their yield should re main as it is. I have shown elsewhere in this report that $840,000 would sustain our schools for four months. That calcula tion was very close, and had reference solely to the paying of the teachers. The entire expense of the school system in 1885 was $28,000. With an increase of the fund there would be an increase in the responsibility of holding and paying out, and also in labor. I feel quite sure that $40,000 would still cover the expense. If, therefore, the recommendation of providing for four^month' schools be 14 carried out, I feel that I am safe in saying a fund of $880,000 would be sufficient for accomplishing that pur pose. I must, therefore, insist on raising at least that sum. As there is likely to be a large falling off in the yield of the liquor tax, it may be necessary to make the property tax slightly more than one-tenth of one per cent. Whatever addition is required ought to be made, as the State cannot afford to do less than what has been recom mended. I would not ask the sum just suggested, and, in addition, the sum mentioned as necessary to pay the interest on the educational bonds. The Act imposing the educational tax might provide that the money raised under it should go to paying the interest on the bonds till the whole of that interest shall he liquidated. The State, after having done what has just been recom,'mended, ought not to be expected as a State to do more. ! The remaining sum necessary to support a six months' \school should be raised by the county authorities. The safest mode of doing this would be to pass a general Act empowering the grand juries in the several counties to raise the additional sum necessary by local levies. Some of the grand juries would order the levy at once, and others seeing the good resulting therefrom would follow their example. I do earnestly hope that the General Assembly will weigh well the foregoing suggestions and put them into practical operation. In no other way can we pay the debt due to the helpless children of the State than by going for ward boldly and raising the money necessary to that end. The foregoing covers my suggestions as to what should he done for the public schools. As the private high schools, and perhaps to a small extent the private elementary schools, are likely to remain in coming years a portion of our educational machinery, I think some mode ought to be provided whereby a report of what they are accomplishing may be obtained. Though they are pri vate enterprises I can see no wrong in requiring them to give information in which the entire public is deeply interested. This principle is recognized in all census legislation. Private persons are required to give such information as is of vital interest to the public. I there 15 fore recommend that such private schools as become pub lic schools during the public school term shall not be per mitted to participate in the public school fund till they have reported the portion of their school term which was private. NEEDS OF THE CENTRAE OFFICE. The work in the office of the State School Commis sioner has greatly increased with the- extension of the school work. The Commissioner is compelled to devote himself largely to purely clerical labors. For months past he has been confined to his desk without intermis sion from seven to nine -hours a day. He is allowed one clerk. This clerk has labored from ten to twelve hours a day and sometimes longer. In addition, members of the Commissioner's family have, for more than a year past, often performed many days of gratuitous labor. After all this expenditure of earnest labor, the work of the office is often much behind. I must therefore renew the request made in the last report that the Commissioner be allowed either to em ploy Tan additional clerk or to expend a limited sum in procuringladditional clerical aid at such times as the pres sure of labor may make the same necessary. HOW SHALL AN ADEQUATE SUPPLY OF WELL QUALIFIED TEACHERS BE OBTAINED ? This is a very important question. Outside of the cities and counties under local laws, there were in 1885 4,684 white public schools and 2,272 colored. This makes a total of 6,956 schools. Some of these schools had more than one teacher, so that it may be safely assumed that there were over 7,000 teachers in public schools having no help except that furnished by State aid. Only 150 private high schools were reported, and if double that number existed, with an average of two teachers in each, only five or six hundred of the teachers would have been teachers in schools classed as high schools. This would leave nearly 7,000 teachers that may be called teachers of country schools. I would ask, has the State no interest in assuring herself that this army of laborers 16 in her employ are reasonably well-fitted for the work in which they are engaged ? Would not money spent in qualifying these laborers for their duties be wisely spent? College graduates will never teach these country schools. The money expended in their education has fitted them for work which will pay better. The schools in question will be taught largely by women, certainly in the main by persons with an education below the grade of that furn ished in the colleges. What we need and what we must have in the end is normal schools for both races,--schools which shall have for their chief end the thorough prepa ration of teachers for our country schools. Twelve or eighteen months bestowed upon one previously welltaught in a country school would fit him very well for entering upon his life-work as a country school teacher. The instruction given in such a normal school should be, in the main, professional. A supply of teachers thus equipped for their work would make the coun try schools very efficient, and should the General As sembly provide for a six months' school, as has been recommended, the terms of the schools might be so arranged in the counties as to give one teacher two schools, thus giving him constant employment. I have frequently urged the establishment of such schools, but the lack of funds and other causes have been in the way. I am still of the opinion that a beginning ought even now to be made. If nothing is done, or if only a beginning is made, would it not be well for the trustees of our State University, and of our fnale and female colleges, to make provision for pedagogical instruction especially suited to the class of persons who expect to become country teachers? The trustees of our colored colleges are now acting on this suggestion with valuable results. I would further suggest to the teachers of our private high schools, many of whom I know to be accomplished scholars, to prepare themsblves well by special study to do pedagog ical work, and to let it be known to the public that they expect to make the preparation of young persons for teaching in the country schools a specialty. They will thus, in my opinion, not only add an attractive feature to their schools, but will contribute to carrying forward 17 the great work of the public school in which all the peo ple are interested. Most of the other States have not only established normal schools, but they have provided for teachers' institutes, which are temporary schools having in view the improvement of persons actually engaged in the teacher's work. The State of Georgia has never done jsnything for either of these classes of schools for teachers. Itihe trustees of the Peabody Fund have expended erally of their available fund in Georgia for both objects. I |hall next give a fuller account than I have ever given of what they have done for us through the first mentioned instrumentality, to be followed by what they did for us in 1885 and 1886 by means of Teachers' Institutes. They first offered us scholarships in the State Normal College at Nashville, Tenn., an institution under their patronage, in 1877. An appointee to a scholarship receives two hundred dollars per annum and free tuition for two years, and is expected, after graduation, to fol low teaching as a permanent employment. These trus tees have done me the great.honor of trusting me to make these appointments in my own way from the be ginning.

The total number appointed is eighty. Fourteen of these are now in the college. Of the other sixty-six nearly all remained in the college up to their graduation. A considerable number of these are holding prominent positions as teachers in this and other Southern States. This record shows a great work done for Georgia by these trustees by the first named agency. Now, as to what was done for us in 1885 and 1886, by means of Teacher's Institutes. The instructors employed in the respective years and their departments were as follows: In 1885, Hon. J. P. Wickersham, of Pa., School.Govern ment and School Managemenr. Dr. H. H. Tucker, How to teach English Com position. Dr. G. M. Phillips, of Pa., Astronomy and Math- ematical Geog^phy. Dr. G. G. Groff, of Pa., Human Physiology and Geology. Prof. W. A. Bass, Algebra and Geometry. Supt. W. H. Baker, Arithmetic. Supt. W. F. Slaton, Spelling and Reading. Supt. B. M. Zettler, Geography. Prof. J. Harris Chappell, Language Lessons. State Supt. Gustavus J. Orr, School Law, Con stitutional arid Statutory. Mr. Gustavus J. Orr, jr., Secretary of the Insti tute. Lectures were also delivered by Mrs. R. D. Rickoff of N. Y., Dr. J. H. Carlisle of S. C. and Prof. Scortip of Ga. In j886., P. of. J. W. Glenn, of Tenn., Botany and Ento mology. Dr. G. G. Groff, of Pa,, Human Physiology. Mr. Horace Bradley, Drawing. Prof. S. C. Caldwell, Algebra and Geometry. Supt. W. H. Baker, English Grammar. 21 Supt. W. F. Slaton, Arithmetic. Prof. Charles Lane, Geography. Mrs. F. C. Mallon, Spelling and Reading. State Supt. Gustavus J. Orr, School Law, Con stitutional and Statutory. Mr. Angus E. Orr, Secretary of the Institute. Dr. A. G. Haygood delivered one lecture and Prof. J. Harris Chappell three. Mr. O. A. Combs taught Penmanship in the Colored Department. I can best give an account of the work done in these Institutes by copying what was said of them in the Atlan ta Constitution. The following is what that paper said of the Institute of 1885: "The Institute which closed its session in this city last week was a remarkable gathering of teachers. In compass, in variety, in thoroughness, in efficiency, no equal work has ever been done in Georgia, nor perhaps anywhere throughout the entire South. The gentlemen summoned from abroad proved themselves to be excep tionally fine educational workers. Wickersham is known wherever the common school is felt as a power. His services were invaluable. Phillips and Groff-came recom mended by Wickersham and proved themselves worthy of all he had said of them. Tucker was himself. He never does anything like anybody else. On this occasion he put unusual power into his teachings. Baker and Zettler and Slaton and Chappell and Bass all did admirably well; while the occasional workers, Mrs. Rickoff, Prof. Scomp and Dr. Carlisle, each and all, won golden opinions. (For three years preceding the present, Institute work has been done in Georgia. The appended table will give the comparative numerical results: ENROLLMENT. Year. White Teachers. 1882....................... 154 1883....................... 160 1884...................... 179 1885....................... 274 Colored Teachers. 98 75 103 57 Co. School Com'rs. 30 35 40 Total. 282 260 282 371 22 The total enrollment at the recent institute, including visitors, was 4i3. The daily average attendance of teach ers was 128. The sites of the institutes were as follows: In 1882, Americus, Toccoa and Milledgeville; in 1883, Albany, Waycross, Sandersville, Barnesville, Covington and Dal ton; in 1884, Norcross, Macon, Dalton. Jhe length of the session was the same, being four weeks each year. It will be seen that though there were three institutes for two of the preceding years and six for the third, the aggregate attendance of teachers and County School Com missioners at the one held this year was nearly one hun dred greater than any of the preceding years. Seventythree counties were represented in the membership of this year's institute and ten states. The attendance was the least marked feature of superiority of the late insti tute over its predecessors. There was better order, great er punctuality dnd closer attention to duty, while the in terest of the members rose to enthusiasm at an early period of the session, and so maintained itself to the end. Who can measure the effect of this month's work upon our Georgia schools ? More than 300 Georgia teachers will go back to their respective fields of labor with renewed energy, with higher views of the greatness of the work entrusted to them, and with a strong etermination to fitd themselves more thoroughly for its proper execution. "To Dr. Orr is the State mainly indebted for the great work just accomplished. For weeks before the session commenced he was engaged in making the preliminary arrangements. He organized the splendid corps of in structors, delivered, himself, daily lectures in his own de partment, and was present, and presided from the begin ning to the end of each daily session. " We understand that the trustees of the Peabody Fund, to whom we are indebted for the funds by which insti tutes have been held hitherto, have determined to dis continue donations for that purpose to such States as fail themselves to make appropriations. Tennessee, South Carolina, North Carolina and Virginia have made such appropriations, and we trust Georgia will not fail to fol low their example. " In preparing this article we have availed ourselves of the knowledge of the State School Commissioner, and have been given free access to the records in his office." 23 The same paper gives the following account of the In stitute of 1886: "The Peabody Teachers Institute, which has just closed, has been a great success, both as to the attendance and as to the work done by the corps of instructors. The latter has been excellent. All the gentlemen employed have done work such as was expected by those who knew their reputation and ability. Prof. Glenn and Dr. Groff, the lecturers on science, did excellent work in a line which is being rapidly developed at present. Superintendent Baker, Maj. Slaton and Mrs. Mallon, who had `the three r's' to deal with, not only did good practical work, but also enlivened topics naturally dry by the manner in which they intsructed. Mr. Baker has been an efficient laborer in every Inititute which has been held. Prof. Caldwell showed himself master of the department of algebra. Prof. Charles Lane has done exceedingly use ful work. Among the occasional lectures Horace Bradley did excellent work in the department in which he stands so high. Prof. Chappell's lectures while not strictly school work, were productions which deserve to live. Dr. Haygood's single lecture was worth a whole series. In the colored department, O. A. Combs, who was employ ed to teach penmanship, did his work well. " Much of the success of the Institute is due to the Su perintendent, Dr. Orr. He has spared no pains to make the Institute as near perfect as possible. His labors com menced in May, and, in addition to superintending, he delivered a lecture on school law nearly every day during the session. The Institute was very extensively adver tised. In addition to preliminary circulars and circulars to County School Commissioners, six thousand circulars were sent all over the State, some going to every county, from Rabun toDecatur. Every paper in the State was requsted to print a notice, and many answered with extensive notice. " The opinion of those in attendance on the Institute was almost unanimously favorable. Some idea of the impression made on the teachers and school officers pres ent may be gained from the following facts : "The following memorial to the Legislature was circula ted among those present for signatures, and was signed by all to whom it was presented: 24 "In view of the great need of Institute instruction among the seven thousand teachers of Georgia; in view of the good work which has been done by the Institute held in the city of Atlanta during the month of August, in the year 1886; in view, moreover, of the fact that the appro priations from the Peabody Fund, by means of which the Institute has hitherto been wholly supported, will most certainly be discontinued unless some corresponding ap propriation is made by the State ; ` We, the undersigned, do hereby;petition the Legisla ture of the State of Georgia to make such an appropria tion as will, during ensuing years, continue and increase the work now being done.' "At a meeting of County School Commissioners of the State of Georgia, held in Atlanta from the 10th to the 12th of August, inclusive, the following resolutions were introduced by Thomas M. Berrien, and were unanimously adopted: 'Resolved 1. That, in our opinion, the Peabody Insti tute, now in session in this city, is productive of great good to the educational interests of the State of Georgia, and that we highly appreciate and commend the success ful effort of Hon. G. J. Orr, State School Commissioner, in securing the funds necessary to defray the expenses of said Peabody Institute. 'Resolved 2. That the thanks of this body are hereby tenderedto Hon. G. J. Orr for his untiring efforts to pro mote the cause of public education and for his uniform courtesy to us.' "In the attendance, in the character of the instruction given, in the interest felt by the teachers present, in the good done and the methods learned, it may be said, without reflecting in the slightest degree on former insti tutes, that the one just closed has been the most success ful ever held in the State. " The object of the Institute is not, as some suppose, the instruction of all the teachers of Georgia. There are 6,870 country schools in the State by the last report of the State School Commissioner, with at least as many teachers. The total income of the Peabody fund, $60,000, would be scarcely sufficient to afford proper instruc tion to this great number. As that fund is divided among ten or twelve States, the portion assigned to Georgia is not large. The policy of the trustees in Georgia, as in 2b other States, is to apply the money to assisting struggling local systems and sustaining scholarships in the Normal College at Nashville. A portion, ho.wever, has for the past five years, been devoted to the holding of Institutes for the instruction of teachers. This was placed in the hands of Dr. Orr, the State School Commissioner, with full power as to place and mode of holding Institutes. Hopeless of reaching the bulk of the teachers he deter mined, in accordance with the genaral policy of the trus tees, to hold Institutes in several central points; Last year the experiment was tried of holding only one Insti tute in the city of Atlanta. The result justified the wis dom of the course. Atlanta attracted very many who would not otherwise have come. In consequence, the same policy was pursued this year with the'most encouraging results. " Moreover, work done at a central point, as this has been done, will be known everywhere. Located here, the Institute is set upon a hill. Its results reach all over the State, and the necessity of many schools, of the kind throughout the State is beginning to be keenly felt. This can only be effected through the State appropriations which are so earnestly requested by the teachers who have been in attendance. " In fact, the very existence of meetings, affording nor mal instiuction, depends on State aid, as the rules of the Peabody Trustees now exclude all States which do not themselves take the work in hand. " The Institute was intended mainly for Georgia teachers. Nevertheless, the following States had one or two repre sentatives each ; Tennessee, Alabama, Louisiana, North Carolina, Massachusetts,Texas, Ohio, Arkansas, Maryland, Virginia, South Carolina, Illinois. Florida, West Virginia, Pennsylvania, Mississippi, New York, Nova Scotia and Ireland. These, however, aggregated only 27. " It is to be earnestly hoped that the future of this great and valuable work will be as bright and useful^as the past." At the closing meeting of the Institute of 1885, the following resolutions were adopted unanimously by a ris ing vote: The teachers in attendance uppn the Peabody Insti tute, which has been in session in Atlanta during the past four weeks, appreciating the advantages wmch have oeen 26 afforded them, and with a view to express their sense of their obligations, hereby adopt the following resolutions: " i. We congratulate Dr. G, J. Orr, State School Com missioner, on the great success of the Institute. We thank him for the indefatigable labor which has made it evident that educational efforts on this line can be suc cessfully carried out in Georgia. We thank him for the exceptionally able corps of instructors which he has or ganized for this work; for his uniformly urbane and kind treatment of ourselves, and for his instructive lectures in his own department. " 2. We thank Hon. J. P. Wickersham, of Pennsylvania, and Rev. Dr. H. H. Tucker, of Georgia, for their valua ble lectures--the one upon the general subject of teach ing and school management, and the other upon the proper method.of teaching English composition in the schools. " 3. We thank Professors G. M. Phillips and G. G. Groff, both of Pennsylvania, for their instructive and absorb ingly interesting lectures--the one on astronomy and mathematical geography ; the other upon geology, phys iology and hygiene. " 4. We thank Professors W. A. Bass and J. H. Chappell, Superintendents W. H. Baker, B. M. Zettler and W. F. Slaton, regular instructors of the Institute, for their clear presentation of the best methods of teaching the several ( subjects assigned to them. " 5. The admirable lecture of Mrs. R. D. Rickoff, of New York, on primary instruction, and the special lect ures of Dr. J. H. Carlisle, of South Carolina, and Prof, Scomp, of Georgia, were entertaining and instructive and thanks are hereby rendered for the same. "6. The untiring attentions of Mr. G. J. Orr, Jr., secre tary, have added largely to our comfort while in attend ance upon the sessions of the Institute, and to him we tender our sincere thanks. "7. We th^mk the Board of Education of Atlanta, and the officers of the Second Baptist Church for the use of halls for the sessions of the Institute; the hotels and boarding houses for reduced prices of board ; the railroad authorities of the Stat? for reduced rates of travel; fhe city press for numerous favors ; and the citizens generally for unvarying courtesy and encouragement." 27 In like manner, at the close of the Institute of 1886, similar resolutions were adopted by a unanimous vote. I give these resolutions also as showing the views of another body of our most intelligent teachers. They were ae follows : "Resolved 1, That the thanks of this body are due, and are hereby gratefully acknowleged, for the unexpected kindness of the trustees ef the Peabody Fund, who alone have sustained this Institute, which has accomplished an immense amount of good to the teachers of Georgia. "Resolved 2, That we, the teachers in attendance, appre ciate very highly the services of our worthy State School Commissioner, both in obtaining the necessary funds and in making such arrangements as have made the Institute a decided success. "Resolved 3. That the thanks of this body be tendered to the various railroads of the State for the courtesy of reduced rates. "Resolved 4. That we acknowledge our thanks to the Constitution for the space devoted to the daily exercises of the Institute. "Resolved 5. That we tender thanks to the Institute in structors for their lucid, original and practical illustra tions which have made subjects which have grown tame from long teaching assume fresh interest from new and attractive methods of instructio i. "Resolved 6. It is the sense of the Institute that the State could not advance the cause of education or the spread of general intelligence more surely than by an appropri ation to make the Teachers' Institute a permanent feature of her educational system. "Resolved 7. That the thanks of this body are hereby tendered Mr. A. E. Orr, the Secretary, for his labors to promote the success of the Institute and the comfort of the teachers." The very full and complete record of the attendance on the two Institutes of 1885 and 1886 shows considerable gain at the last named. Five hundred and fifty-nine per sons enrolled their names with the Secretary in 1886, against 413 in 1885. Of these, 500 were white and 59 colored. The average daily attendance in 1886 was 151. In 1885 it was 128. 28 / In giving the foregoing account of what the trustees of the Peabody fund did for us by means of Institutes in 1885 and 1886, in the main, I have permitted others to speak. They have spoken with such fullness and force as to render additional words from me unnecessary. I, therefore, close by recompiending that an Annual appro priation of at least $1,500/be made from the school fund to be applied--together with any additions that may be made to it from time to time from the Peabody fund-^-io the support of Teachers' Institutes, the work of these In stitutes to be done under the direction of the State Board of Education.) Before dismissing 111 subject of Institutes I will add that a most successfu ork of this kind was condncted in Augusta after the close of the Peabody Institute of 1886. I regret that lack o time and space forbids a fuller notice. MEETING OF THE COUNTY SCHOOL COMMISSIONERS. 1 invited the County School Commissioners to meet me at both the Institutes of 1885 and 1886. This I did un der authority of action taken by the State Board of Edu cation. They were called together for consultation, and that they might he instructed in their official duties and that they might witness for themselves the work of a well conducted Institute. Twenty County School Commission ers and three city superintendents responded. Much valable information was thus obtained and many useful les sons were imparted. In addition, the Commissioners adopted a series of resolutions recommending such legis lation as, in their judgment, is necessary to perfect our school system. The resolutions adopted were as follows: "Resolved, 1. That the Legislature is hereby requested to pass an Act empowering the grand juries of the sev eral counties of this State at the spring term of the court to recommend a tax of not more than one-tenth of 1 per cent, for school purposes, and requiring the tax offi cers, wherever such tax has been recommended, to assess and collect the same at the time of assessing and collect ing other taxes. "Resolved, 2. That in order that the provision of the Constitution, which declares that there shall be a thorough 29 system of common schools in the State, may be carried out in its true spirit, we earnestly request the Legislature to increase the general school fund by such means as they may think best until it shall be large enough to secure thorough efficiency in our public schools. `Resolved, 3. That we hereby ask the Legislature to al low the State School Commissioner an additional sum of not more than $1,200 for the employment of another clerk in his department, as the clerical work has grown to such an extent as to put it beyond the power of the commis sioner to accomplish this work promptly with the help now authorized by law. ''Resolved, 4. That the Legislature is hereby requested to pass an Act fixing the school month at sixty days. "Resolved, 5. That we hereby further request the Leg islature to pass a law making the school year really and practically coincident with the calendar year; and in or der to this end, that the law be so framed as to require the County School Commissioners to make their reports to the State School Commissioner by the end of said calen dar year, and to add any school fund of that year, not in their hands at the time of making the report, but coming into their hands subsequently, to the fund of the following year. "Resolved 6. That we further recommend that the law be so changed as to require the issuing of separatees fas. for poll tax against those who fad to pay their taxes, and when the insolvent lists are allowed that all poll taxfi fas. be turned over to the County Boards of Education, and that said Boards be empowered to see to the collecting of the same." It will be seen that the first, second and third of the foregoing resolutions sustain recommendations already made in this report. The action of the commissioners in relation to the Institute, having already been given elsewhere, is not reproduced here. I hereby give my emphatic endorsement to all that the commissioners recommend in the fourth, fifth and sixth resolutions, and unite with them in asking the additional legislation. Would it not be well for the General Assembly to pass an Act providing for the assembling of the County School so Commissioners at least once in two years? In this way the educational needs of the different portions of the State could be much more thoroughly ascertained. Questions of administration could be discussed, and the State School Commissioner could, in this way, much more effectually impress upon this body of officials his rulings and his instructions. In order to secure attendance the Commis sioners should be allowed their per diem during the time of their necessary absence from home. I ask that this suggestion receive careful consideration. PEABODY MEDALS. During the past j^ear forty-nine bronze medals were sent me for distribution by the Agent of the Trustees of the Peabody Fund. There was in my hands, remain ing over, one silver medal. These medals were intended to be awarded as stimulants to excellence in the different branches of study in the public schools.

PEABODY APPROPRIATIONS TO GEORGIA. The appropriations to Georgia by the Peabody Trus tees were as follows: IN 1885. For twelve Scholarships at Nashville. ..... For Teachers' Institute.................................. For the Public Schools of Rome. ................. $2,40000 1,40000 60000 $4,400 OO 34 m 1886. For twelve Scholarships at Nashville.......... For Teachers' Institute.................................. For the Public Schools of Griffin.......... . . . $2,400 00 1,50000 50000 $4,400 00 NATIONAL AID TO EDUCATION. Identified with the movement in favor of national aid to education from the beginning, my interest in the sub ject has suffered no abatement. It has rather' become intensified. How could it be otherwise when our educa tional wants and our inability properly to meet these wants are always before me ? I entered into a full dis cussion of all the questions connected with this subject in my last report. I shall not repeat the views then present ed. I feel assured that a majority of the people of the State are with me. Three successive Legislatures have put themselves on record as endorsing. Emboldened by this evidence of the popular desire, and fortified by earnest convictions, I again ask action on the part of the present General Assembly on this subject, feeling assured that favorable action will not be without its weight in the final decision of the question. CONCLUSION. In all the discussions in the foregoing pages, wherever the use of statistics has been necessary, the statistics of 1885 have generally been employed. Those for whom these discussions are primarily intended will understand that these are the latest accessible statistics, as at this writing the schools of 1886 are many of them still in operation. I have now finished what I had to say. All the sug gestions made herein have been made with deliberation and after much thought. I invite to each and all of them careful consideration on the part of the General Assembly. GUSTAVUS J. ORR, State School Commissioner.

Only seventy-fire counties are reported in it, notwith standing unusual efforts were made to obtain full reports. The cause is the absence of legal authority to compel private teachers to report their schools. The information given in respect to the counties that are reported is not altogether reliable. The County School Commis sioners, in s me cases, included in their consolidations reports from schools in which the ancient classics'and higher mathe-' matics were taught. These schools should have been reported on the blanks for private High Schools. Including such schools makes the item "average cost of tuition per pupil" higher than it ought to be.

It does not exhibit half of the work of this kind done in the State. The County Commissioners assure me that they did their best to obtain reports, but could not from the lack of power to compel teachers to make them. Gustavus J, Orr.
