Office of State School Commissioner,
Ateanta, Ga., November 1, 1888. His Excellency Gov. John B Gordon,
My Dear Sir:--I herewith submit to you the Biennial Report due from this office to the General Assembly, and beg you to present it to that body.
I am, with sentiments of the highest regard, Your obedient servant,

State School Comm.for the State of Georgia,

REPORT
Office of State School Commissioner,
Atlanta, Ga., November 1, 1888.
Senators and Representatives of the People of Georgia, in General Assembly met:
By the appointment of his Excellency, Gov. John B. Gordon, I assumed the duties of the office of State School Commissioner for the State of Georgia, on the 21st day of December, 1887.
My distinguished predecessor, Dr. G. J. Orr, long ident ified with the educational interests of this State, and for near sixteen years specially in charge of this department as State School Commissioner, died with his armor on, falling like a true and valiant soldier at his post. His was a life consecrated to noble and untiring efforts to advance the educational interests of Georgia, and he may be said to have sacrificed himself to the behests of duty, striving ever, as he did, with exalted purpose, unfaltering zeal and untiring energies to meet the onerous labors of his office and secure for the people who confided to him the honor able trust, the highest attainable moral and intellectual development and advancement. He has left the bright impress of his noble work upon the public school system of Georgia. By virtue of his office he was a member of the State Board of Education and its chief executive officer. That Board, as you know, is composed of the Governor of the State as its president, the Secretary of*State, the Comp troller-General, the Attorney-General and the State School Commissioner. It seems appropriate that the action of that Board, when it met to give expression to the universal sorrow his loss to the State had occasioned, and pay its own

4
tribute to his memory, should here be presented, and thus be made to occupy a permanent place in the archives of the State, thus to stand as a testimonial to his exalted worth,, his noble patriotism and his high usefulness. I therefore transcribe here a copy of those proceedings in memoriam, as taken from the records in my office, and leave to an appreciative public in its own good time to rear to the memory of this able and faithful old public servant a more durable and enduring monument.
[The proceedings in memoriam will appear at the end of this report.]
The following table, which has appeared in several pre ceding Reports of this Department, with the additions nec essary to bring it down to date, is reproduced in this. It exhibits in one view the progress of our public schools from their inauguration in 1871 down to the close of 1887 :

PEE CENTUM OF ENROLLMENT IN 1887.
In 1887 the enumeration of 1882 was, under the law, still in use for the apportionment of the State school fund. The figures were as follows :
White, 265,548 ; colored, 243,174 ; total, 508, 722. It would seem that the figures shown by the enumeration of 1888 are much nearer the truth for the year 1887 than those of 1882. Hence, they are used in the following estimate. The return of 1888 gives the following as the school population : white, 292,624; colored, 267,657 ; white and colored, 560,281. The enrollment for 1887 was, white, 208,865 ; colored, 133,429 ; total, 342,294. These figures give the following ,as the per centum of attendance that year, viz.: white, 71.34-; colored, 49.4-f-; white and colored, 61 per centum.

Taking again, tor the reason heretofore given, the school population of this year and the enrollment and average attendance of 1887, the same being, respectively, 560,281, 342,294 and 226,290, a simple calculation will show that the foregoing fund paid that year a, per capita

WHAT AMOUNT OF FUNDS IT WOULD REQUIRE TO KEEP THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS IN OPERATION FOR ANY GIVEN NUMBER OF MONTHS.
To meet a question frequently presented to this depart ment by citizens deeply interested in the success of the educational system of the State, to-wit: " What amount of funds it would require to keep the public schools in opera tion for any given number of months?" I give here my predecessor's answer, as found in his last report, on pages 6 and 7:
Our Constitution limits what maybe taught in our country schools to "the elementary branches of an English education." The school law

8
provides for teaching spelling, reading, writing, arithmetic, geography and English grammar. This provision of law may be considered 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-live pupils. Experience shows that an enrollment of forty-live pupils will make an average 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 present, 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 compe tent 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 operating 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 Commis sioners 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, need not be. and would not be, in proportion to the increase in the fund.''
In considering the foregoing, it must be borne in mind that it is based upon the figures reported as the average attendance in the year 1885. As will be seen the latest fig ures now attainable give an average attendance of 226,290, or an increase over 1885 of, say, 16,290. The matter is left therefore where Dr. Orr left it, with the data for a later calculation furnished the reader.
PRIVATE HIGH SCHOOLS IN THE STATE.
It will appear in the table under the above head appended to this report, that one hundred and four high schools were

9
reported in 1887, from forty-seven counties, viz: Banks, Bartow, Bibb, Cherokee, Clay, Columbia, Coweta, Craw ford, Dawson, DeCalb, Dodge, Early, Fayette, Floyd, Franklin, Gilmer, Greene, Gwinnett, Heard, Henry, Hous ton, Jackson, Jasper, Lincoln, Macon, Madison, McDuffie, Meriwether, Monroe, Montgomery, Morgan, Murray, Ogle thorpe, Pike, Schley, Screven, Tattnall, Taylor, Twiggs, Upson, Walker, Walton, Warren, Washington, White, Wilcox and Wilkes.
Hence, there were ninety counties from which no High Schools were reported.
PRIVATE ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS.
The table of these schools shows for 1887, the foilwing : Number of schools, 718 ; number of instructors, 804 ; num ber of pupils, white males, 10,872 ; white females, 10,379 ; colored males, 2,978; colored females, 3,219 ; total white, 21,271 ; total colored, 6,197 ; total white and colored, 27,468. Reports were received from fifty-six counties, leav ing eighty-one unreported. It is a matter of regret that the teachers in these private high schools and private ele mentary schools do not send in their reports as requested. This is very valuable information which this office ought to be in possession of, and be able to furnish others who have often made inquiries.
THE COMMON SCHOOL SYSTEM OF GEORGIA.
Whatever the opposition to the common, or public, school system in the past, it may now be said to be well nigh universally favored. The experience of other States and nations as well as our own, has made popular the golden theory, that the great end of all human government is to teach men to govern themselves, and that therefore, it is the duty of the governments to provide systems of public educa tion, and to place them under wise and wholesome super" vision for the benefit of all. We speak of the wealth of

10
nations, and in doing so we we refer generally to their salubrious climes, their fertile soils, the rich minerals, ores, marble and other elements of wealth imbedded in the bosom, or found on the surface of mother earth ; but the world has come to understand that these material resources are at last and at best, of the earth earthy, they perish with the using and that as to them, the earth may be said to be their womb and their tomb, while the mind of a nation or state is its highest, brightest, best and most enduring wealth, which perishes not but survives the decay of matter. The statesman and the patriot, he who is so not in name only, but in fact, feels and recognizes this to be a great fundamental truth and concedes as the inevitable logical sequence that if mind be so valuable a part of a State's wealth and resources, education by the government becomes a matter of greatest concern and supreme patriotic obligation. If it be conceded that ignorance and vice are evils from which the people are to be shielded, it follows indisputably that the intellectual and moral improvement of all the mind in the State or nation is a high duty devolv ing upon them, the disregard of which would be wholly inexcusable. I respectfully submit in view of the premises, that that government is recreant to the legitimate ends of its creation which does not make the education of every child within its borders an object of vital and primary concern. But these views need neither argument, elaboration nor illustration to give them wright and influence with your body. Georgia has long felt their truth and force and her wise and patriotic legislators and statesmen in the past have given much thought, and devised from time to time various policies designed to meet, as best might be done, her high obligation in this behalf. Indeed the civilized states and nationalities of the world have reached with fixed confidence and now boldly assert four propositions concerning this whole subject of education, with so much earnestness and such unhesitating definiteness that they cannot longer be

11
considered open questions, to-wit: 1st. Education of its citizens or subjects is the imperative high duty and obliga tion of every form of government. 2nd. Suitable school houses, properly ventilated and heated to meet the con stantly increasing demand, must be built, keeping steadily in view in their construction, the conditions of roominess, comfort and convenience, as well as the health of the teach ers and pupils. 3d. An adequate supply of good and competent teachers to conduct the schools, who must be paid ample compensatiou. 4th. Governments must raise and furnish the means to compass these important ends, so vital to human progress and happiness, either by taxation or otherwise. The advanced civilized nations and States have assumed that the education of man, morally, physically and intellectually (thus developing into a harmonious whole his trinity of being) is a duty aud obligation resting on all governments of the highest importance. They claim that education alone can fit men appropriately for the responsible duties of life and elevate them to that lofty plane of intel lectual and moral excellence,- where alike, the behests of nature, and reason, and the voice of God invite them to stand. They claim that it has been fully demonstrated that in no other way can the animal propensities of mankind, which, unguided, crop out in savagery and barbarism, be subordinated to and ruled by the loftier and more ennobling elements of man's higher being. They contend, and righttu'ly, that it is the office of education to civilize the man as he is found in a state of nature, and that, there fore, genuine civilization means taking the reins from the hands of the carnal man with his savage appetites and brutal tendencies and placing them in the hands of the intellectual and spiritual man---`The man within the man"-- to be controlled by all his loftier impulses and God-given aspirations. In fine, it is claimed that in education is found the Archimedean lever and standing place, by which, and from whence, the world is to he prized up and lifted out

from the depths and bondage of ignorance, superstition, vice, poverty and every form of degrading and galling slavery, and made to stand forth redeemed, intelligent, prosperous, happy, progressive and free. Of course, this being accepted as the exalted function and noble mission of education the three other propositions, stated above, covering comfortable and suitable school houses, good and competent teachers and ample means to meet the necessary outlay, flow as logical sequences aud are everywhere accepted as such by the cul tivated brain and heart of the world. So far as our State history in reference to education discloses, the principal trouble here in the way of State aid for many long years, had its origin in the adjustment of the modus operandi and not in any spirit of opposition to the principle and policy. From our earliest existence as a State, the need and vast importance of general education was felt and in various ways, and though very able, distinguished and influential sources fully declared. The free school and poor school systems of the past, though doubtless well intended by their projectors, were found to be failures for several reasons, but chiefly because of the honest and just pride of honorable poverty, which naturally felt sensitive over the line of distinction thus drawn between the children of the rich and the children of the poor. No system could be effective and popular that excluded the sensitive poor from its benefits. This feeling, as it existed under those systems, was recog nized and commended fifty years ago in a message of one of the Governors of the State. Governor Schley in his message of 1837, said :
"The great cause of education deserves your fostering care. About forty thousand dollars are now annually distributed to the Counties, and constitute what are denominated the `Academic and Poor School Funds.' This system is believed to he radically defective. There should be no such designation as `Academic' and `Poor School,' be cause they are invidious and insulting. Poverty, though a great incon venience, is no crime, and it is highly improper, whilst you offer to aid the cause of education, to say to a portion of the people you `are poor.' Thousfinds of freemen who, though indigent, are honest, patriotic and

13

valuable eitizei]*; will refu.se your bounty and despise the hand that offers it, because it is accompanied with insult.
"These funds should be consolidated under the title of `Education Fund,* and applied to the uses of primary schools, teaching only the rudiments of an English education.

*

********

N one but an educated people can preserve the liberty and happiness vouchsafed to us by the blood and treasure expended by our forefathers, and therefore the Lugislature should extend, as far as possible, the means of intellectual improvement to the whole mass of the community. Too much ought not to be attempted, but it is believed that, a great deal of good may be done by distributing the money set apart for education, to the different counties, to be applied for the use of common schools, at which all may be taught for a portion, at least, of everv year. A sys tem of this kind is in successful operation in some of the States, and will, if adopted here, it is hoped, effect the great object of the Constitu tion in regard to education."

As you see, Gov. Schley referred to the fact that a system of common schools was already in successful operation in some of the States of this Union. Pardon a moment's digression while I state what I believe to be true : that the honor of inaugurating the public school system, whereby education was given gratuitously to all, and made open to all classes of society alike, belongs to Prussia, a country wholly differing from ours in its institutions, which call for and recognize class distinctions when men and women come to take their places on the active stage of life. And let it be mentioned to her distinguished credit, that according to the latest European census table that has fallen under my eye, her school facilities were the best, and her standard of education the highest, of any of the states composing the German Empire. If this were the appropriate occasion and time permitted, it might be shown that this wise sys tem of bringing the children of all classes into school rela tionship, is doing much in that country for the silent but steady growth of liberal and enlightened views in behalf of popular constitutional liberty and free government. Some of the New England States first followed the bright exam ple, and now most all of our States and Territories have

14
adopted the common school system, which means that they intend to educate all their children, and pay for it out of a public school fund to be raised by taxation, or otherwise. But to return: Other Governors, as well as many other, of our distinguished men, felt the necessity for a new sys tem which would entirely supplant the old plans and remove all barriers and all sources of iiritation growing out of differences in the financial circumstances of the pupils who attended the schools. If time and space per mitted, I would quote freely from many of them, from the early days of our State Government down to 1861, when the war between the States occurred, but I must only notice a few, and give short extracts from each. Gov. Towns, in his message to the General Assembly, in 1851, said:
"There is in the human heart a feeling of approbation and security in systems of education, as well as others that are based upon equal rights; while the opposite feeling of repugnance and mistrust springs up for that munificence that degrades the objects of its care by odious distinc tions. The poor parent may desire to see his child educated, and feel himself unable to furnish the means, but he does not wish to be pointed at as an improvident father who, from folly or crime, is unable to dis charge this duty to his child, and, again, the generous, high-souled youth would sooner go his way in ignorance through life than to enter the school-room to be taunted and jeered at by his fellows as a charity scholar. False as may be deemed this pride, it is a part of the nature of man, and if it is the design of your policy to be useful your education must be general, and every difficulty removed, as far as possible, to the cohsummation of this object. You must invite, encourage, and induce parents to discharge their duty to their children in this respect. You cannot, and ought not, to force them. But all disgrace, real or imag inary, all inequality between the rich and the poor is swept away, the moment your system of education is common to all."
Hon. Thomas R. R. Cobb, one of Georgia's greatest law yers, and one of the most learned and brilliant writers and orators of his day, as chairman of a committee composed, beside himself of the following eminent and honored names : Solomon Cohen, D. E. Butler and Greene B. Haygood, in an earnest and able memorial presented by them to the Georgia Legislature, at the request of the Southern Central

15
Agricultural Society, at a session of that body, held in Atlanta before the war, used the following language :
" It can never reach a large number of children whose parents, too poor to pay, are too proud to take charity. This class is large, and will be as long as the spirit of freedom burns stronglypn their breasts. We will not amplify. We call upon your own observation for proof." * * *
"What, then, is our want? A system which shall remedy these defects, avoiding others. A school to which the children of the poorest citizen shall be sent, without submitting parent or child to the jeer of pauperism. A teacher who shall be able to impart solid and useful instruction, suffi cient to prepare our youth for the active business- of life. School houses which shall awaken a feeling of pride in every neighcorhood, and cause the richest to feel that no private teaching can afford equal advantages to the common school; and thus bring together, on a common platform, the children of all classes of our communities. To effect these objects, we must have free public schoools in every school district in Georgia. In the language of our resolution, this is the only hope of ever securing the great end. So universal is the admission that this is an object devoutly to be wished, if practicable, that we will not tax you with fur ther argument to show this to be our great want."
Another distinguished committee, composed of Hon. David A. Reese, Dr.-Alonzo Church and Bishop George F. Pierce, was appointed (by an educational convention held in 1851 in Marietta, a body noted at the time for the very large array of learned, able and patriotic Georgians who composed it, and presided over by that highly accomplished scholar and able jurist, the Hon. Eugenius A. Nisbet) to address the people of Georgia on the subject of the adop tion of the common school system. And most faithfully and ably did they perform the duty assigned them. The address, while the joint work of all three, is supposed to have been written out by that great and loved divine of sacred memory, the late Bishop Pierce. The address is full of valuable thoughts, arguments and suggestions, but I quote only on the point now before me. These occurrences of conventions and reports of committees, looking to and asking for a better system of education for the State, which are now being considered, were from the years 1851 to 1860, inclusive. This able committee, among other things, said:

1:6
" Thus we believe that we have demonstrated that the present system has not and cannot answer the objects of general education or the eduucation of the poor, and that it should be superceded by another. We believe that Georgia should profit by the experience of other States (the experience argument is worth all others in this matter) and adopt at once the system of `Common Schools,' discountenancing the odious dis tinction of poor children, which has kept so many at home, and in ignorance, and adopting the name of ` Common Schools ' for all the children of the State. This was the opinion of the convention, in which the committee fully concur."
In a message to the General Assembly, in 1858, Senator Brown, then Governor of Georgia, said, in that clear, strong and forcible style peculiar to him :
" With the gradual increase of the fund proposed, it is not doubted that the wisdom of our State would, from time to time, improve our present defective system till it would be so perfected as to afford the. advantages of an education to all, or nearly all, the children of the State. Let the teachers be paid by the State, and let every free white child in the State have an equal right to attend and receive instruction in the public school. Let it be a Common School, and not a poor school system. Let the children of the richest and the poorest parents in the State meet in the school room on terms of perfect equality of right. Let there be no aristocracy there hut an aristocracy of color and of conduct. In other words, let every free white child in Georgia, whose conduct is good, stand upon an equality of right with any and every other one in the school room. In this way the advantages ,of education might be gradually diffused among the people, and many of the noblest intellects in Georgia, now bedimmed by poverty and not developed for want of an education, might be made to shine forth in all their splendor, blessing both church and State by their noble deeds."
I will add one more quotation here, not only because it proceeded from one of Georgia's greatest sons, Hon. H. V. Johnson, but because of its eloquent tribute to the genius, power and high office of education, suggesting as the fruits of its mighty work a grand picture of the future, causing us to feel, as we look down the vista and contemplate coming great developments that, to use the language of our present gifted and brilliant Governor in his inaugural address of 1886, "we can already lay our. fingers upon the pulse of the coming century and

17
feel the swelling current rushing through its distended veins and gathering momentum with each passing decade."
After showing " the importance of a system of public education to enlighten the intellects and moralize the hearts of the masses," Governor Johnson proceeded as follows:
"Education is the friend of the State. It will elevate the people. It will diminish crime, and the expense of executing the laws. It will prize out the poor from the mire into which innocent poverty has sunk them, and place them on an intellectual equality with the favored sons of fortune. It will dig from the mire many an unpolished gem to glit ter in the crown of cultivated society. It will stimulate enterprise and direct its energies to profitable objects. It will dignify labor and open new channels for capital. It will disinter the mineral wealth of the State and add millions to the productions of agriculture. It will bring into the field of science an array of mind that will adorn our escutcheon and dazzle the world by its achievements. In a word, Georgia must fail of her great mission without the adoption of a wise and comprehensive educational policy. Away, then, with that narrow stinginess which begrudges a dollar to such a cause, while it is often wasteful of thousands upon objects that possess little or no merit."
We can but feel, after hearing this eloquent appeal, com ing to us uow as it were from the tomb, in behalf of educa tion, that the line of duty lies not only in giving heed to his voice, now hushed in death, but to that of our present Governor, when in the same inaugural address, speaking of our duty to Georgia, he said :
"Let the broadest and most practical education of her children, he an object of universal concern."
At last, after long and wearisome years of patriotic effort and anxious hope and of ineffectual schemes tried, but to be abandoned, the common school system came to be adopted, and notwithstanding our adverse and depressed circumstances after the war, the wisdom of it has been fully vindicated by the auspicious results for which we are largely indebted to the late Dr. Orr. By looking back to the tables furnished by the Hon. David W. Lewis, in his valuable compilation of educational effort and experiment in Georgia before and to the year 1860, and comparing

18
them with the tables appended to this report, you will at once note the difference of progress since the establishment of the new system. It will appear that the number of those in the State of Georgia who could not, in the year 1880, either read or write, to-wit 128,000 white over 10 years of age, and 392,000 colored over same age must by ihis time have been very largely diminished as a result of the largely increased attend ance upon the schools. I regret that we cannot now furnish tables of this present years educational transactions as fully as we could desire, because many of the schools are now in progress and reports cannot be given until the close of the scholastic year. The only tables for the year 1888 are those relating to the enumeration of school population, and the apportionment of the school fund. But reference to the tables that are here furnished, with appropriate captions lo indicate their contents, will greatly aid you in arriving at Tour own conclusions as to the present status and future prospects of the cause, and nw.ke it unnecessary for me to comment and explain at any considerable length.
These tables have been prepared with care and much painstaking and I trust will prove of much value by fur nishing a source of desirable information for convenient reference to the people of Georgia and you their chosen and accredited representatives. ' Now that our State, after years of anxious solicitude in behalf of popular education, has reached and adopted an educational system of perfect equality, adapted to the wants and conditions of all, without grating upon the sensibilities or wounding the just pride of any--a system full of wisdom and designed to give every child in the State, rich or poor, white or colored, a liberal elementary education, the grave question, how shall this system be sustained and made to dispense its untold and unspeakable blessings to our whole people and to coming generations, presents itself at the threshold and demands wise legislative solution and

19
prompt action. I doubt not that a body of Senators and Representatives so able and patriotic as those now convened in General Assembly in the capitol of our great and beloved State of Georgia will meet this momentous question with an intelligence high as the exalted merits of the theme, and a courage as fearless as the demand for the proper culture and elevation of the children of the State now submitted to your legislative care and guardianship, is urgent and important. Therefore, what I may say or propose on the subject will be purely suggestive, and most respectfully and with pro found deference submitted to your better judgment. You come fresh from the people, and far better understand their wants and their opinions on this vital and all-absorbing question than I do, or can. Nor do I doubt for one moment that your action, whatever it may be, will be in harmony with what you shall conceive to be the best interests of your respective constituencies and of the w'hole State.
That our schools should be taught for a longer term than three months, we all feel and know. I am of the.opinion that they ought to be taught for six months. This would still leave ample time for those scholars who must work a part of the year in the several departments of labor in which they find employment. But you most naturally ask, where is the large amount of money to come from to accomplish this admitted good and desirable end? With becoming diffidence, I trust, I submit the following sugges tions : According to Dr. Orr's, calculation, already given (made in his last report upon the data then before him), it will take $1,260,000, and this estimate does not include the cost of operating the system, which would of course be something greater than now, in consequence of the increased fund to be distributed and the increase of labor and responsibility of County School Commissioners, who are the officers charged with this duty. Their compensa tion, as a matter of course, ought to be somewhat increased, as doubtless their bonds would be. The report of our able

20
and efficient Comptroller-General shows that in the last ten years the taxable property of Georgia has increased $122,207,910, or 53 per cent.
All property on the digest, and including railroad prop erty, foots up to September 30th of this year, $357,167,458,
A tax of one-tenth of 1 per cent, would raise.......................... $357,167.00 Add to this the net school.fund after deducting expenses . . 330,113.73 Add also the poll tax, say, in round numbers.......................... 185,000.00
This would give a total of........................................................ $873,280.73
Or something o'rer $25,000 more than Dr. Orr's calcula tion shows would run the schools for four months. It may be the people would not be willing to accept a larger tax than this at this time. If they would, then the additional assessment of only a half mill more would furnish a school fund of $1,050,803, or slightly more than the amount it would take, according to Dr. Orr, to run the schools five months. And, of course, all the needed amount could be raised by a two-mill assessment. But, if this method shall be deemed inadvisable and impracticable now, .1 have other views to submit.
And, first, I claim that of right the whole income from the State road belongs to the school fund of Georgia. The committee, composed of Reese, Church and Pierce, heretofore quoted for another purpose, make the following statements, which are sustained by the facts of history in this regard :
"The State of Georgia, by her legislature, at different periods, has appropriated as an educational fund (exclusive of specific appropriations to different counties) more than one million dollars in hank stock, including one-third of the surplus revenue received from the treasury of the United States, which was three hundred and fifty thousand three hundred and thirty-three dollars. Of all this vast amount, in 1843, there remained only $262,000 in hank stock, which, at this time, con stitutes the State educational fund. The interest upon which, about $20,000, is distributed through the State for the benefit of the poor children. As far back as 1836, forty thousand dollars were annually distributed for this purpose. It is very pertinent to the subject, that we inquire what has become of these liberal appropriations. Except the loss by the Darien bank, the whole amount, `surplus revenue,' and all has

21
T)een expended in constructing the Western and Atlantic Railroad. So it is evident that, in strict justice, the cause of education has a lien upon the State Road, and should the State determine to sell it, or any part thereof, the amount of the sale, after discharging her liabilities, ahould be made a permanent school fund. We are far from recom mending that policy; an opinion upon that subject is not within our duty."
I desire, just here, to be very emphatic in my disavowal of any purpose whatever to express an opinion as to the policy of a re-lease of the road, or a sale, or a return to the old policy of management by the Governor for the State. As said by that committee Ifor itself, so say I for myself, s ""an opinion upon that subject is not within my duty." But I do also desire to be quite as emphatic in saying, that whatever be the disposition made ol it, nothing can change the right to the proceeds as an educational fund. If this should be conceded, or granted, then the fund would foot up thus, (provided the rental should remain the same as now), towit :
The other half of State Road rental................................$150,000 00 Net School fund................................................................. 330,llo 73 Poll Tax............................................................................... 185,000 00
Total.............................................................................. $665,117 77
Sufficient to run the schools near four months. If a sale should be effected, and the purchase money of the road set apart to the education of the children of the State, and the interest annually accruing devoted to the schools and pay ment of teachers, the problem would be practically solved.
But there is another claim presented by my lamented predecessor in his last report, to which I invite your atten tion, remarking, that the facts as stated by him, raise a legal question of importance. There can be no doubt that the State policy which prompted the Act of 1858, issuing bonds to the amount of $350,000, to be used as a school fund, was, as a mere public policy, subject to a legislative recall whenever the State should see proper to revoke it, and require the destruction of the bonds. Dr. Orr claims,

22
with marked ability, and presents the point with his usual clearness, that the destruction of the bonds did nothing more than to destroy the evidence of the right of the Educational Department to the bonds, but not the right itself, and that,, therefore, the interest on the bonds, at least from the date of the adoption of the Constitution of 1868, at which time those bonds were in existence, and which Constitution then devoted " any educational fund now belonging to the State, except the endowment of, and debt due to, the State Uni versity," to the support of common schools, is still due. The only question, as it seems to me, is whether the State, exercising her right to revoke a public policy, and ordering the destruction of the bonds issued in pursuance of that policy, did thereby destroy and revoke the bonds and their adjuncts--the attached coupons. I have felt some doubt on this point, and refer it to your better judgment, only remarking, that if the property right in those bonds was in this Department, and intact at the adoption of the Constitution of 1868, the fact that that organic law devoted the property to education of the people, would seem to fix
the right beyond the reach of legislative interference. It should be noted, in this connection, that the Constitution of 1877, so iar from an attempt to revoke the action of the Constitutional Convention of 1868, on this point, and its clearly understood legal effect, contented itself by embody ing precisely the same provision, which you will find in JSec. 3, Par. 1, Art. VIII, thereby also devoting to educa tion in the State, " any educational fund now belonging to the State, (except the endowment of, and debt due to the University of Georgia)." If the organic law of 1868 fixed the title to these bonds, and no legislation could violate this organic decree, then, it follows that when the new organic law is established giving aany educational fund now belonging to the State," we have, as it were, a second and final organic consecration ot those bonds issued under the Act approved December 11, 1858, and they are still a part

23
of the school fund of Georgia, If you decide this question in accordance with the views suggested by Dr. Orr, and which I am strongly inclined to think sound, this rightfully adds to the educational fund the claimed amount of interest, to-wit: $378,000, with the addi tionally accrued interest since then. And, with him, I ask for provision to be made for its payment. I give you the extract from the Doctor's report, and let him be heard for himself on that point:
"When I came into office in 1872, then* were in the hands of the Secretary of State, bonds to the amount of $8o0,000, issued under an Act approved December 11, 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, ma^e in 1874, I 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 resolution was adopted by the Gen eral Assembly in 1876 requesting the Governor to have these bonds destroyed, and the Governor complied with this request in the resolu tion. These bonds w7ere in existence as an educational fund when the Constitution of 1868 was adopted, and that Constitution devoted any educational fund now belonging 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 destruction of the bonds did not destroy the right of the Educational 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 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 executed in 1859 and others in 1860. All of them bore interest 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 in 1868. This would

24
give this department eighteen years' interest, which, at 6 per cent., would be $378,000. I ask that provision be made for the payment of this interest."
A very simple work of addition will show how much the school fund will be increased by this amount. But if none of these plans can now be made available, I still have one more to suggest, and upon which I lay much stress. The 4th Sec., Paragraph 1 of Article VIII. of the Constitution of Georgia declares that uAuthority may be granted to coun ties upon the recommendation of two grand juries, and to municipal corporations upon the recommendation of the corporate authority, to establish and maintain public schools in their respective limits by loc^al taxation ; but no such local laws shall take effect until the same shall have been submitted to a vote of the qualified voters in each county, or municipal corporation, and approved by a two-thirds vote of persons qualified to vote at such election, and the General Assembly may prescribe who shall vote on such question."
This constitutional provision does not execute itself. I believe that every district in a county, or all of them in conjunction that lay outside of municipalities, as well as every city or town, ought to have it in their own power, by their own voluntary and free action, in pursuance of a general law for the whole State, passed for the purpose, to provide a local system of common schools for themselves without having to ask the Legislature for a local law to meet each case. Such a course would add greatly to the convenience and benefit of those districts and sub-districts in the counties outside of the towns and cities, and - be attended with less expense to many of their citizens who now send their children to the schools in the cities and towns. Why may not a law be passed, a sort of "educational local option law," if you please, that will place it in the power of every county in the State, as well, as every municipal corporation, when it choses to do so, to avail itself of the benefits and advantages of the constitutional provisions

25
quoted ? Atlanta and many of the cities of Georgia and some of the counties have already obtained local acts con ferring the power, and I respectfully suggest and earnestly request that a general law applicable to all cities and coun ties in the State be passed. The provisions of such a law would be simple and easy of application, and in my judg ment would give fresh impetus to the cause of education in the State. Thus every county or municipal corporation which felt disposed, could impose a tax on its citizens of such a per cent, on the State tax, as, while very small in itself, would prove less, I dare say, than the ordinary tui tion fees paid to private schools, and in this way they would be able to supplement their portion of the State school fund, and, perchance, make it ample for all the educational needs of their respective communities. I have thus submitted the views of the ways and means that occur to me as feasible, and it remains for me to add but one or two additional thoughts and then leave this branch of the subject with you.
Section 1, paragraph 1, Art VIII of the Constitution is in the words following. It is mandatory to you, and I know you will give heed to its voice. ``There shall be a thorough system of common schools for the education of children in the elementry branches of an English education only, as nearly uniform as practicable, the expenses of which shall be provided for by taxation or otherwise. The schools shall be free to all children of the State, but separate schools shall be provided for the white and colored races." I am quite sure it will be your aim to make the system of com mon schools thorough, as the Constitution requires, and this department will gladly carry into practical operation, so far as it may, all laws you enact with this view. Separate schools for the white and colored races have already been provided, and the already given table shows the rapid increase of pupils attending both, since the year 1870. I call special attention to this table/which shows only 42,914 white and 6,664 colored children at school in 1871 and in 1887 208,^65 white and 133,429 colored at school.

26
As expressive of the view I entertain as to the exhibit made therein, I beg leave to quote here a paragraph from an address I delivered to the Georgia Teachers' Association at Macon, Ga., May 1st, 1888, as follows :
As we meditate upon the transcendent importance of education toman in ever}' relation he sustains to his fellow-man, his government and his G-od, how deeply, how profoundly are we impressed with the conviction that every government is recreant to its duty that does not do all in its power to educate its people. Let me pause here to remark that .Georgia has thus far done nobly on this line. In view of her prostration by rea son of the war, and the subsequent cruel oppression of her people by partial financial methods of the general government, which it is not proper I should discuss here, her untiring, earnest effort to keep up the common school system for the benefit of all the children without refer ence to color or previous condition of servitude, her conduct has been most unselfish, praiseworthy and patriotic. Indeed, her action in this particular, notwithstanding all the adverse circumstances that surrounded her after the war--her treasury exhausted, her fields laid waste, her rights hampered, her voting citizenship changed so that her former slaves were made freedmen and endowed with the privilege of the elective fran chise--having no general intelligence to fit them for such endowment, and with no property, and but little, if any, tact for accumulation--I say the act of her people, in view of all these depressing and discouraging circumstances of taxing the little property that remained to them after the fearful destruction of the war, and then reaching out their hand to lift their former slaves from the night of ignorance by providing free schools for them, presents a spectacle of the heroic moral sublime that must and will shine forever in hallowed and fadeless halo on the death less page of history ! I am proud that I am a Georgian !
THE PRESENT SCHOOL LAW.
The present school law, now familiarly known as the " Denny Law," requires the State School Commissioner to present ior your consideration, every two years, a statement of 'the condition and amount of all funds and property appropriated to the purpose of public education ; astatement of the number of common and public schools of the various grades in the State, the number of scholars attending such schools, their sex, color, and the branches taught; a state ment of the average cost per scholar, of instruction under the common school system in each county; a statement of


27
plans for the management, extension and improvement of the common schools; a statement of the number of children of school age in the State, with as much accuracy-as the same can be ascertained, also a statement of the number of private schools, and of colleges of different kinds in the State; the number of pupils in such schools or colleges, their sex, the branches taught, the average cost per scholar of tuition in said schools and colleges."
I have appended tables to this report to meet these sev eral requirements of the statute, as far as practicable; and I have given you such views and suggestions touching the best plan for keeping up the work financially and otherwise as have seemed to me appropriate.
Being placed in office at a time when it became necessary to administer this new law of 1887, it became my duty to construe that law in its relation and bearings to the old law, and I give here a copy of the circular entire that you may understand the questions involved, as well as many of the questions propounded to me from all over the State. I give this circular with my construction as to effect of new law, and with my answers to various questions, because I think it probab'e that some of these points may be brought before you, and additional legislation asked in reference thereto. I will add that after I had prepared this circular I sub mitted it to the State Board of Education for its considera tion before I sent it out. The circular was approved and endorsed by the Board :
Atlanta-, Ga., January 10th, 1888.
To the.County School Commissioners of Georgia:
On the 24th of December, 1887, 1 issued and directed to your several addresses a circular, appointing the 26th, 27th and 28th of this month for the examination of applicants for teachers' licenses. That circular gave my construction of the Act of 1887, known as the Denny Law', in reference to the wmrds "day or days" occurring therein. I will add that I have no doubt that I may order other examinations during the year, on other days, if deemed desirable and advantageous to the cause of education in this State. The inclination of my mind now is to order another in the summer, but this is not determined upon yet.

28
The Public or Common School Act of October 27th. 1887, as its title most clearly indicates, is a very sweeping, comprehensive and important enactment concerning the whole subject of common school education in Georgia. A great many questions have been presented to me orally and by letter, from all over the State, as to its effect upon familiar features of the law and the practice of the school-boards under it, as it stood prior to that Act. Hence a construction and interpretation of the law, and directions in harmony therewith for the future conduct of the system in our State, have become a necessity. When I came into the office, I found that my predecessor, having been in doubt on several points arising under the new law, had addressed a letter to the Attorney-Gen eral of the State, asking for his opinion concerning them. Dr. Orr died soon after, and no opinion has been furnished this department in response to the questions, which are as follows, and numbered 1, 2 and 3:
1. Must the day or days fixed by the State School Commissioner for the examination of teachers be uniform throughout the State? Is the State School Commissioner to fix one day in the year or more than one? If he fixes more than one, must the days fixed be consecutive? Can he so fix the days as that more than one examination can be held in the same year?
As to this, my construction, as above stated, has already appeared in my published circular, December 24th, 1887. Nothing more needs to be said now.
2. Are the following Acts now of force, or have they been repealed by the recent school law, viz.: "An Act to provide for the appointment of school trustees for the sub-districts of the counties, and to prescribe the duties of the same," approved February 22, 1877; "An Act to authorize the County Board of Education and the Board of Public Edu cation for the City of Savannah, and the boards of public education for the other cities in this State, to require the scholars to be vaccinated as a pre-requisite to admission to the schools," approved September 27, 1881; and "An Act to authorize and empower the Board of Education, or other proper authorities, in certain counties and municipal corporations, in their discretion, to annex to the public schools a department of indus trial education, and for other purposes," approved October 16, 1885?
It seems well settled by the adjudications of our highest courts in this country, that where a statute is passed, designed to amend, revise and consolidate a general law or system of laws on a given subject, all laws and provisions excluded from the new enactment are repealed. And even in the case of two affirmative statutes, where there is clear conflict between some of their respective provisions, while repeals by implication are not favored, the last Act works a repeal pro tanto of the former. That this Act of October 27, 1887, was intended to mate rially modify, change and otherwise affect in important particulars the. body of school laws existing in the State at the time is manifest alike

29
from its title, its opening paragraph and its repealing clause. The title is, " To amend, revise and consolidate the Common School laws of the State of Georgia, and for other purposes."
The first paragraph says: "Whereas, amendment, revision and con solidation of the present existing common school laws of Georgia are advisable and necessary, therefore," etc.
The repealing clause declares " that the public school Act, approved August 2o, 1872, and the various Acts amendatory thereof, and all and every other law inconsistent or conflicting with the provisions of this Act be, and the same are hereby repealed." In my opinion, this Act has accomplished its design fully and efficiently without running counter to the settled adjudications touching repeals, or to that stringent clause of our Constitution of 1877, which is in the words following:
"No law or section of the Code shall be amended or repealed byr mere reference to its title, or to the number of the section of the Code ; but the amending or repealing Act shall distinctly describe the law to be amended or repealed, as well as the alteration to be made." Art. 3, sec. 7, par. 17. Code: Section :')076.
This clause of the Constitution, according to the interpretation of it by our Supreme Court, makes it very difficult, if not impossible, to repeal any law by mere implication. But here the law to be changed and con-, solidated is distinctly7 named and characterized as the "Public School Act," and the purpose declared to consolidate, amend and revise it, and the necessity is declared by the Legislature for the consolidation, amendment and revision of the body of laws known as the Public School Laws of Georgia, and then the repealing clause, as if to dispose of all the old law not thus revised, amended and consolidated, distinctly repeals parts left out of the consolidation and all amendments thereof, as well as every other law inconsistent or conflicting with the provisions of this new, amended, revised and consolidated Act.
Now, this Act, as consolidated, nowhere includes any of the provisions of the Act of Pebruary 22,1877, commonly called the Trustee Law. But two of its provisions are distinctly ignored, nay, repealed by the present law, the conflict being so obvious and striking as to leave no room for doubt. It is stated in the Trustee Law, that "it shall be the right of the trustees to recommend applicants for teachers of schools tn sub-districts,
and it shall be the duty of the eounty boards to choose as teachers the persons so recommended, etc." It is further declared in that Act,
"that the County School Commissioner in each county shall only visit the various public schools at such times as he may he directed by the County Board of Education." The first of these provisions is repealed by the declaration in the Act under consideration, "that the contracting -with teachers under the provisions of this Act shall be left to the discre tion of the several County Boards of Education," and by other require ments of the statute clearly indicating the same purpose. The latter of

30
these provisions is repealed unmistakably by section 32 of the Denny Act. These were the two principal points in the Trustee Act of Febru ary, 1877. They have been distinctly eliminated, and with them the whole Act has become extinct, and so you will treat it unless my judg ment shall be shown to be erroneous in the way pointed out by the law. Whatever may be any one's personal opinions or predilections or preju dices concerning this or any other provision of the old law which may be found to be annulled by the new, suffice it to say, that the voice of the Legislature constitutionally expressed, is mandatory and obligatory, and cheerful acquiescence and prompt conformity to its behests best become us as good citizens.
It is not my opinion that the Act of 27th of September, 1881, author izing compulsory vaccination of the scholars as a pre-requisite to admis sion into the schools, shared the same fate. This was a special Act, not actually a part of the general school law, but an independent enactment intended to provide a mere sanitary regulation to protect the pupils from a contagious and terrible disease, which is qnite as important and appro priate now as heretofore. Nor is there, conceding it to be a part of the old school law, anything in it in anywise inconsistent or at all in conflict with the provisions of the new law, and therefore it is not repealed by it. It is also my judgment that the Act of October lf>th, 1885, "authorizing and empowering the Board of Education or other proper authorities in certain counties and municipal corporations, in their discretion, to annex to the public schools a department of industrial education, and for other purposes," is not repealed because special and local in character, and it would seem that there is no conflict between that and the general pro visions in the present law, to the effect, "that the County Board ofEducation shall have power to organize in each county one or more manual labor schools on such a plan as shall be self-sustaining; Provided, that the plan he first submitted to and approved by the State Board of Education." See Sec. 37, Act of October 27, 1887.
The 3d and only other question propounded by my predecessor to the Attorney-General is as follows :
3. "Is a member of the Board of .Education now eligible to election to the office of County School Commissioner ?"
The law as it stood prior to this Act declared that this officer might be chosen from the members of the Board of Education, or from the citi zens of the county. Here were two sources or classes clearly defined and distinguished by the terms of the statute as it then stood, from which a County School Commissioner might be elected, but the present law says emphatically he is to he chosen from among the citizens of the county. I know it may' be said the members of the board are also citi zens of the county and therefore not ineligible. But the reply is, they are citizens holding a special office which in some sense separates and distinguishes them from the general body of citizenship. So the old law

31
treated them, and made them a class of persons from whom (as well as from the body of citizens generally) a selection might be made, and so the new law evidently regards them, and for some reason--perhaps the reason that their official position might unduly influence their elec tion--excludes them from the realm of eligibility. Many letters from many counties in the State have reached me propounding this same question, and in this way I answer all, by declaring that in my judg ment, which will control your action in this .regard, unless properly reversed, no member of the caunty school board is eligible to the office of County School Commissioner. And let me say just here, once for all, that while! have the courage of my convictions, and shall always plainly and decidedly declare them, no one will more gracefully and cheer fully yield to correction of error that I will. I shall always prefer to be put right, and gladly accept reversal rather than dogmatically persist in error.
As already intimated, many questions relating to the effect of the new law, and the duties and obligations incident thereto, have been pressed upon me from all over the State, and prompt answers solicited. Happily, a work which would have devolved upon me--that of pointing out the differences between the old law and the new, was undertaken and very ably performed (as far as prosecuted) in his usual clear and perspicuous manner by Dr. Orr, in his circular addressed, on the 4th of November last, To the County School Commissioners of the State, and all others interested." This, I learn, was sent to you at the time, and I commend it to your careful reperusal, as it will, in connection with this circular of mine, show, not only the changes made and the repeals accomplished, but also establish in your minds the important fact that this new Act, while introducing some radical changes and modifications, is in the main what it purports to be, a consolidation, amended and revised, of the common school laws of the State.
Among the many questions that have been asked me, I note the fol lowing only, as I think my answer to these will readily suggest answers to all the rest. Should they not, I shall be happy to answer at any time, any question propounded to me as I may be able. This circular will be mailed to all of you, and I trust will be accepted as an answer by all those who, owing to the pressure upon the office at this time, failed to get immediate answers by letter.
Question 1. Must teachers holding licenses which are unexpired be re-examined under the late Act? In other words, does the new law rlvoke all licenses?
Answer. There is nothing in the new law looking to the revocation of existing licenses except for causes indicated in section 31 of the Act. The law simply provides for the granting of licenses to new applicants who

32
desire to obtain license to teach. It does not abrogate or cancel the licenses not yet expired.
Question 2. How are teachers to be examined when they do not know where they will teach ? If the}7 are examined in one county and desire to teach in another, will it be the duty of the County School Com missioner to endorse the license granted, or is this still optional with this officer ?
Answer. It is the clear intendment of the new law that teachers examined and licensed in one county may teach in any other county of the State upon their licenses being indorsed by the County School Commis sioner of the latter county, and that a just comity will insure this indorsement unless for causes mentioned in section 31 of this law.
Question 3. Will a rigid standard be enforced in the new branch which the law adds, viz: the science and practice of teaching?
Answer. No rigid standard will be enforced under my administration of this office, if by rigid is meant such questions as from their complex or difficult nature will tend to confuse the applicant; and I take this occasion to say that I do not allow myself to doubt but that the examina tions of applicants will be conducted with perfect fairness and imparti ality in all the counties, and that the respective boards will make up their decisions, admitting and grading the applicants, not only upon a just criticism of the exaihination papers, under the rules tnat will be fur nished them from this office, but from all the attending circumstances of the examination, and from the elevated tone and character which should belong to a teacher of the young.
Question 4. Are existing commissions of County School Commissioners revoked, or do they hold until the expiration of their terms? Must Commissioners now In office be examined ?
Answer. Most unquestionably they hold until their term of office expires by its own limitation, or their commissions be revoked according to law. They are not to be examined.
- Question 5. Are the boards still to fix in advance the number of days in which the County School Commissioner shall labor in performance of his official duties ?
Answer. There seems to be no change of the law in this particular. Indeed, on this point the section of the new law is an exact transcript of the old.
Question 6. What about the Act "to encourage private' elementary schools," approved September 28, 1883? Is it in force? Can teachers be allowed to charge for any attendance during the year, as heretofore, under this Act ?
Answer. The law inquired about ceases as an independent enactment since it is incorporated in the new school law and is now of force as such.
v

33
The practice, therefore, will he the same as heretofore in the particular mentioned.
Question 7. Have the hoards the same latitude in fixing the begin ning and the end of the regular or three months' public school term under the new law that they had under the old ?
Answer. In this respect there is no change whatever, and the County Boards have the same latitude that they had before.
'Question 8. Can a board adopt this rule, viz.: that no pupil once entering a public school shall be allowed to leave it and enter another during the school term ?
Answer. The proper rule is t; at a pupil can go from one public school to another only by consent of the Board, or County School Commis sioner, for a good and sufficient cause, the Board or Commissioner, being the judge.
Question 9. How long do present adoptions of text books hold good? Is a new adoption required by the new law ?
Answer. An adoption holds good until changed by the County Board The new adoption will last for live years from its date, unless the time be shortened by a three-fourths vote of the board.
Question 10. When will the enumeration of school population be taken ? What additional statistics will the State School Commissioner require ?
Answer. In the year that now is, and every ten years thereafter. The enumeration for this year will be had under instructions from this department at as early a day as practicable. Other enumerations are provided for at the instance of the State Board of Education hereafter that need not now be explained, but can be seen by reference to the forty-seventh section of the Act. The State School Commissioner has not decided to require any additional statistics, but suggestions on this point are invited.
Question 11. Are all tax ft. fas. for poll tax to be turned overdo the County School Commissioner, or must there firsf be an allowance of the Tax Collectors' insolvent list?
Answer. Yes; they must be turned over to the County School Com missioner and without reference to insolvent list allowed by county authorities. The County School Commissioner must receipt the Tax Collector for these ft. fas. as well as for cash from poll tax. " The County School Commissioners shall not receive any extra compensation. for their services in superintending and attending to the collection of ssaA ft. fas."
Question 12. How many pupils must there be enrolled in the first school in each district ?
Answer. Perhaps the best answer to this question would be to refer to section twenty of the school Act, a copy of which you have. But I

34
will say my interpretation of the section is that each district is to have one school for white children and one for colored, if the population authorizes it, of which the hoard is to he the judge, and that no specified number of scholars is required as a condition precedent to having the school for each. No specified number of pupils is required in any case except where, from the density of the population, additional schools in the sub school district should be a necessity, and then such additional schools shall not be allowed unless the enrollment of pupils in such additional schools is at least twenty-five in number. The object of this provision, it would seem (and a very commendable one it is), is to provide for at least one school for every sub-school district in each county of the State.
JAS. S. HOOK, State School Commissioner.
I wish to say here that I have had in my eftorts to carry out this law in good faith strong support and encourage ment from the very intelligent members of the Board of Education and the County School Commissioners through out the State, who, though some of them have dissented from some features of the law and my construction of it, are nevertheless devoted to the great cause, and have acted in harmony wtth my efforts to enforce the law. I take pleas ure in making acknowledgments to these school officials in all the counties for their useful, frank, and often very val uable suggestions that have, from time to time, been made during the progress of our official intercourse, and that often have been very helpful to me. The great body of teachers have also laid me under obligations by their kindness and kind suggestions, and I thank them.
TEACHERS AND THEIR QUALIFICATIONS.
One of the very evident purposes of the Act of 1887 was to elevate the grades of teaching capacity. The fact that the questions to be propounded to teachers are required to be furnished by the State School Commissioner produced at first, in some counties, some slight friction, but I think now even those counties have become reconciled to this feature and think its tendency will prove beneficial. Still there are counties and particular localities where

35
teachers, it is said, cannot be obtained, and if the license is to be required in all cases strictly according to the law, some children must necessarily go untaught, and in some instances where the children to be taught have not yet learned even the alphabet, or how to spell the simplest words. It is urged that, to meet such cases as these, power ought to be lodged with the State School Commissioner, or the local Board of Education, to grant temporary licenses at least to run until the term is completed, or until another examination throughout all the counties be ordered and held. I commend this matter to your favorable considera tion. While on this subject of teachers let me earnestly commend to your most favorable consideration also, the importance of establishing by law a State Normal School, or schools, in this State.
The teacher is, next to the minister of God, the most important figure moving on the stage of our secular and social life. He trains the young minds and hearts, and thus becomes the first lieutenant of the parents of every home in the land. His character should be without stain, his intelligence should be large, his temper and manners kind, courteous and genial, and his bearing fully equal to the behests of the high and responsible duties imposed upon him. There be many in our midst fashioned after this type, I am proud to say; but it is also true, that these have enjoyed advantages which the normal instruction for which I plead can best furnish. I feel that in making this appeal to you, I am backed up by the unanimous voice of all the teachers, as well as all the school boards and county school commissioners throughout the State. I have been much gratified by a movement among school officials and teach ers, by which they seek to hold in some of the counties, " County Normal Institutes," taking the only day they have to spare for the purpose--Saturday. While this is highly commendable, I would ask, would it not be better to meet this most evident want by such legislation as would,

36
at proper times and places, allow opportunities for regu larly organized normal instruction, by the appointment and support of the State, and let these earnest and devoted teachers thus anxious to fully fit themselves for their duties, take Saturdays for wholesome rest and recreation. I sug gest no plan, but submitthe matter for your wise and patriotic thought and action. I will add, on this point, if we can have normal instruction provided for in Georgia, then will all the educational wants of the State be supplied. Yes, with our fine system of public schools, a proper provision made for normal instruction, and all our admirable colleges, male and female, and our great University, the machinery will be complete, and all we will have to do will be to keep it well oiled and in good running order. Then will it move along without the slightest friction or discord, and the hum of its ever-progressive motion will make sweet music in the hearts of all our people.
THE PEABODY INSTITUTE.
When I came into this office, I was informed that there were $500 in bank, of the Peabody fund, to be used for aiding such cities, or towns, or other communities as might be making proper effort to establish a system of schools and thus trying to help themselves. After inquiry, and giving the matter mature consideration, I concluded to help the heroic effort being made in Newnan to establish a fine system of schools; and believing that to divide out the fund among several places would prevent its doing much j^ood anywhere, I gave the whole to the city of Newnan, where I felt it would do, under all the circumstances, the most good. I have had no reason to regret my action, but otherwise, to feel much gratification at the good results. Aft erwards $1,200 was sent to me by the Trustees of the Peabody Fund, through Dr. Green, of Boston, their agent pro tern., which I used, with exception of a balance of $156.72, to meet the expenses of the Institute held last July at Salt Springs-- twenty-one miles from this city. I was influenced by sev

37
eral considerations to hold the Institute at that place, and on the Chautauqua grounds. I give here the reasons, as I assigned them in my report to Hon. Samuel A. Green, of Massachusetts, the then acting agent of the Trustees of said Peabody Fund. I also give so much of the report as may be appropriate to be given in this report to your body :
"I was influenced to hold the Institute at Salt Springs on the Chau tauqua grounds hy several considerations which it seemed to me should be regarded as controlling: 1st. It was a healthy locality. 2nd. It would have the aid and the benefit of so much of the Chautauqua pro gram as would be in progaess during the session of the Institute. 3d. It would be away from the city with all its varied attractions, the tendency of which would be to distract attention and cause irregular attendance. 4th. It would draw to it such teachers as would go to be benefitted, and would therefore be regular in attendance and devoted to the work. 5th. It would, in conjunction with the Chautauqua just about to open, attract the attention of the public and tend to enthuse the popular heart and mind in the interests of public education. 6th. I found I could get good board and comfortable lodging for both white and colored teachers, as cheap, if not cheaper, than in Atlanta. 7th. I was assured I would get railroad transportation cheaper than ever before for the teachers, with only one fare for the round trip."
I will add here that another strong reason with me was that perhaps by holding my Institute there, I would aid in attracting the attention of teachers and others to the Chau tauqua and thus get them interested in the establishment of so valuable a move as I regarded that to be for the intel lectual development and educational weal of the State. I regard the thorough and permanent establishment of a well conducted Chatauqua assembly and program to hold its session annually in a community, as of immense and incal culable benefit. While the attendance of teachers was not at any time during the two weeks session a large attendance, it was fair in numbers, excellent in intelligence, and very much interested in the admirable normal instruction daily dispensed by my very able and accomplished corps of lec turers and instructors. These instructors were as follows : Dr. Wm. H. Payne, President Normal College, Nash ville, Tenn., who, at my solicitation came and presided

38
over and conducted the daily work of the Institute. He Lectured on Applied Psycology and School Management; Dr. H. H. Smith, of Atlanta, Ga., perhaps one of the most accomplished scholars and mathematicians in the country, instructed in Practical Arithmetic]; Professor B. M. Zettler, of Macon, Ga., Superintendent of the public schools in that city, lectured up on Geography, Spelling and Penmanship; Prof. W. H. Woodall, President of the Le Vert Female College, Talbotton, Ga., lectured on Reading and English Grammar; Prof. Bothwell Graham, Principal of the High School, Rome, Ga., lectured on pure or theoretical Arithmetic; Prof. M. L. Parker, President of the South Georgia Male and Female College, Dawson, Ga., lectured on Geometry and Algebra; Dr. L. B. Clifton, a number of lectures on the Natural Sciences; Miss E. A. Bowen, several lectures on Astronomy by observation.
These instructors were all highly cultured and worthy teachers and proved themselves eminently and fully compe tent to fill the important branches assigned them. Their lec tures were lucid and very instructive, giving great satisfaction to the teachers present. Each day was thus occupied, and all who attended were pleased as well as edified. During the afternoons and evenings, either at the church, the large hall at the Sweet Water Park Hotel, or the Amphitheater on the Chautauqua grounds, most instructive, eloquent and learned addresses were delivered by invited speakers of distinction, and were attended by large crowds of deeply in terested auditors. These orators and their themes were as follows :
Col. R. M. Johnston, Baltimore, Md., "Georgia History and some of her great names."
Col. L. B. Evans, Augusta, Ga., "Uses of History." Hon. Charles H. Smith (Bill Arp), Cartersville, Ga., "Old Schools Contrasted with the New."

39
Chief Justice Logan E. Bleckiy, Atlanta, Ga., "Evo lution."
Maj. Wm. F. Slaton, Atlanta, Ga., "Whom and What Should the State Teach."
Mrs. Bessie Miller Oten, "Elocution." Dr. H. H. Smith, Atlanta, Ga., "Travels in Europe." Prof. Charles Lane, Macon, Ga., "The Elements of Suc cess." Rev. Gustavus J. Orr, Jr., Albany, Ga., (by my request) "Life Sketch of his Father, the late Dr. G. J. Orr." The subjects selected were all in harmony with the occasion and proved a most gratifying and delightful feature of the general program. On Sunday, a sermon at my request on the subject of the "responsibilities and duties of educated men " was delivered by Rev. Dr. H. H. Tucker to a very large audience in the Amphitheater. This was an address of unusual eloquence, power and impressiveness, and largely aided the general movements designed to give fresh impetus to the cause of education in Georgia. While I admit fail ure and disappointment as to the number of teachers in attendance, I claim success and gratification in the very evi dent improved tone and enthusiasm which were manifested as the result of the work of the session. It was the opin ion of all the teachers I heard express themselves, and especially of that most eminent normal instructor and most worthy Christian gentleman, Dr. Payne, that much good was done in exciting and arousing public interest in the matter of normal instruction and education generally, which will insure greater success in future sessions of the Institute. All my corps of instructors, composed of prominent and competent teachers, as I have already stated, did good ser vice, but I am quite sure they, as well as all who attended the session, concur with me that Dr. Payne's presence, lectures, and general management proved of incalculable benefit and advantage. He came among us a stranger but

40
carried away with him when he left us the esteem, the grati tude, the reverence and the love of all who heard him and came to know him. I had to regret that so few colored teachers attended. I had provided for their comfort and care at quite reasonable charges, and selected at the request of several colored teachers one of their own color, Prof. O. A. Combs, of Athens, Ga., to instruct them in penmanship. One of the reasons, as I afterwards learned, why so few attended, colored institutes to be held in different parts of the State had been determined upon and arranged for, at the session of the Colored Teachers' Association, held at Athens in May last, and President H. L. Walker, of that body, was appointed to conduct them. This was a good appointment, and I am satisfied from his own reports of his meetings to me and the notices I saw of some of them in the papers, he did good service among the colored teachers in several counties. I will remark here that the colored peo ple show great anxiety as well as aptitude to learn, and it is to be regretted that the noble effort of our State has not been backed up by the general government by the passage of the Blair Bill. Every consideration as it seems to me of justice, humanity and right demand such action on the part of the National government in behalf of these peo ple, upon whom that government has cast such important responsibilities.
There were, during the session of the Institute, two very interesting meetings of the County School Com missioners and superintendents of schools, of whom a goodly number, say over thirty, were present. Their discussions covered mainly the following questions or topics, to-wit: "The proviso requiring an enrollment of 25 pupils in the additional schools." " The duty of endorsing license from other counties." " The trustee feature of the old law." " The method of examinations of teachers and necessity for some provision for appointment of teachers to meet exigences for a short time." " The difference between the old law and

41
the new," "the Blair Bill," etc., etc. These discussions were marked by earnestness and much ability and displayed the deep interest felt by these prominent school officials in the success of education in Georgia.
The teachers after discussing the great importance of an educational journal in Georgia which was proposed to be published by Supt. B, M. Zettler, of Macon, Ga., passed unanimously, the following resolutions, at one of their meetings held in the afternoons, which meetings were full of interest and showed in the discussions occurring there, unmistakably, that the body of teachers present, were gentlemen possessing much ability, learning and extensive knowledge.
The resolutions were as follows :
1. Resolved, "We the superintendents, principals and teachers of the Peabody Institute, now in session at Salt Springs most heartily endorse and commend the above named journal to our colaborers and to the reading public, feeling assured that under its able management it will soon supply a need long felt by Georgia teachers and will prove a source of inspiration and of great practical value to its readers, giving them just and happy ideas of perfect work and high attainments.
2. Resolved, "That we urge the importance of each teacher in our `Empire State' becoming a subscriber and contributor and in taking this position, we pledge ourselves to co-operate, as far as possible with Prof. B. M. Zettler and others in their efforts to establish and sustain such a journal."
I also give here some of the articles and editorials appearing in the press during the session of the Institute, which was from the 9th to the 21st of July inclusive, and also the resolutions passed at the close of the session, which also appeared in the public press.
From the Augusta Chronicle :
THE INSTITUTE AT CHAUTAUQUA.
Information comes to us from Chautauqua that the Teachers' Insti tute has opened under the most flattering auspices. Honorable James S. Hook, State School Commissioner, has been ceaseless in his efforts to arrange for the entertainment and instruction of every teacher who enrolls his name.

42
Superintendent Payne has made a most favorable impression. He brings to his work large experience and great ability. He finds in Judge Hook an earnest and most active co-adjutor in a work whose good influence will penetrate every county in Georgia.
The Chronicle further says : It was a happy thought on the part of Mr. Grady to secure the ses sions of the Peabody Institute for teachers for Salt Springs, so that they might he held in conjunction with the Chautauqua exercises. It has also proven a good thing for the Institute that it is held at the Chautau qua. Each enhances the interest of the other.
The Constitution says: The Peabody Institute is now under full headway at Chautauqua and under the management of Judge Hook and the direction and super vision of Dr. Payne is going to he a great success. The attendance is first-class, and all the teachers are well pleased with the outlook for an exceedingly pleasant and instructive session. Yesterday the Institute held its meeting in the Methodist church, which was kindly tendered them for the purpose. In a day or two the school rooms at Chautauqua will he completed and fitted up, when they will at once he taken posses sion of hy the Institute and used for the balance of the session.
The Atlanta Constitution speaks as follows:
Dr. Payne gave another very sensible talk on the " value of educa tion." He has won the respect and love of every teacher attending the institute by his courteous bearing, and by his eminently practical lec tures. He is doing great good here in his work. An interesting teach ers' class meeting was held at 3 o4clock p. m., at which steps were taken looking to the establishing of a school journal in Georgia.
Judge Hook has furnished the teachers a rare intellectual feast this week in the way of celebrated lectures outside of his regular Normal institute lectures. He has in store a rich treat for his teachers next week. Their subjects and time will be announced frbm day to day.
The distinguished Dr. H. H. Tucker will preach here to-day at Judge Hook's request, on the subject: " The Responsibilities of the Educated Man." His text is " To whom much is given, from him much shall be required."
At 6 p. m. Rev. Morgan Callaway will preach. Dr. Payne and his corps of instructers will continue their lectures next week. As there are so few colored teachers present, lectures will per haps be delivered morning and afternoon. Professsor Combs, colored, of Athens, stated in a talk before the normal school a day or two since, that he was highly gratified at the very pleasant arrangements that Judge Hook and the Chautauqua company had made for the colored teachers here; that he. had been

43
treated with the utmost courtesy hy teachers and professors, and greatly regrets that so few colored teachers are present. He said that ample quarters and the very best of fare had been given him, and the same was provided for all colored teachers at very low rates.
Extracts from the press of the State at large might be given, but space forbids.
The resolutions are as follows :
Judge Hook was invited to occupy the chair, when Dr. Smith offered the following preamble and resolutions:
Now that the labors of the Peabody institute are drawing to a close, and we are soon to part with Dr. W. H. Payne, president Normal College, Nashville, Tenn., who, by invitation of the State School Commis sioner of Georgia, has presided over the exercises and deliberations of the body, as well as entertained it with daily lectures, we the corps selected to aid him, and all teachers attending but obey the impulses of our hearts when we say we separate from this justly eminent and distinguished normal instructor most reluctantly. As expressive of our sentiments on this occasion we resolve as follows:
1. That in the person of Dr. Payne we have found a most dignified, hut genial companion, a ripe scholar, and an experienced instructor; a man of extensive and varied learning, and specially gifted as a lecturer in normal work, with the faculty of imparting knowledge in the simplest language, fortified hy most apt and happy illustrations and forcible analysis.
2. By his courteous bearing and eminent qualifications, no less than by his charming modesty of deportment, so characteristic of men of true eminence, he has won the lasting confidence and esteem of all the mem' hers of this institute, and the many who have attended our meetings, and we feel it but just and true to say that we have been greatly benefitted and instructed by his series of admirable lectures, and that it is our sincere conviction that the good he has done in our midst of inspiring a new enthusiasm among us for still higher and better methods of instruc tion, will be long felt and warmly appreciated in this state.
3. We recognize in Dr. Payne a pure man, a high-toned gentleman, and an humble, unostentatious Christian, and in bidding him good-bye, we invoke for him long life, continued high usefulness and much happiness.
These resolution were unanimously indorsed hy a rising vote. Judge Hook then offered the following, which were heartily and unanimously concurred in: Whereas, The Peabody institute, which has held its session at this place, is about to adjourn sine die, and Whereas, The State School Commissioner, the corps of instructors, and all teachers present, desire to give expression to their sense of gratitude

44
for the kindness extended them during their two weeks stay at this point, therefore
Resolved, 1. That while facilities intended for our accommodation on the Chautauqua grounds were not fully completed, and we have experienced some inconvenience in consequence, yet good and comfort able rooms and excellent fare have been furnished, and we can but express our admiration for the immense energy which has already accomplished so much to make the Chautauqua grounds a very marvel of-comfort and beauty, and we confidently predict for it the highest success as a delightful sylvan retreat for the promotion of general culture in the arts and sciences, and in high social enjoyment. We warmly appreciate the efforts of the Chautauqua Company to make us comfortable, and hereby express our grateful recognition of all their kindness by wishing for them a hearty God-speed in their noble under taking.
2. To the distinguished speakers and learned divines, who have so largely contributed to our edification and enjoyment during these two delightful weeks, we tender assurances of our sincere thanks and warm appreciation.
3. To the pastor and the members of' the Methodist Church in this place we return cordial thanks for the use of their neat and comfortable house of worship, so promptly and so generously tendered us on our arrival here.
4. To the Atlanta papers for daily publication of our programs, and for their friendly notices, and to all the other papers in the State that have aided us by their generous notices and kind words of encourage ment, we tender our grateful acknowledgements.
5. To the several bands of music and to Professor McIntosh and his gifted choir from Oxford, which latter gave us their exquisite music on the Lord's day, we sincerely thank for their most delightful and highly appreciated contributions to the pleasures we have enjoyed here.
6. To the landlords of the hotels and to all the citizens of this place, who have so kindly greeted and treated us, we tender our heartfelt thanks. We have seen no hotel, or community where guests find a more cordial greeting or kinder treatment.
7. Resolved, That to the railroads and their most efficient and cour teous representative, Colonel M. Slaughter, Commissioner, we are grateful for the reduction of fare accorded to the teachers to this point, and especially recognize the kindness and prompt action of Colonel Slaughter in trying to have misapprehension on fthe part of State School Com missioner and some teachers as to the time and terms of procuring tickets, remedied, so as to make all pay only the one fare contemplated.
8. That we request the press of the State to publish these resolutions.
Professor Woodall offered the following, which was put by Mr. Zettler: Resolved, That we, the teachers, who have been attending this ses

45
sion of tne Peabody Normal Institute, return our most sincere thanks to our efficient State School Commissioner, Judge Hook, for the splendid programme that he made in arranging for the exercises of the present normal session and for the manner in which he has carried it out for our pleasure and instruction; and, also, for the earnest personal efforts that he has made for the pleasure and comfort of each one of us.
This resolution was enthusiastically adopted. A resolution of thanks to the institute lecturers and to the Secretary of the Institute was offered by Professor Bobo and passed. After this, the Institute adjourned sine die.
I will state for your information that I have recently received a letter from the Hon. J. L. M. Curry, our ex-Minister to Spain, notifying me of his re-election to his former position as agent of the Board of Trustees of the Peabody Fund, and assuring me of his hearty sympathy in the great work of education so nobly moving forward in Georgia, and of his willingness to aid me in any way in his power, and stating further that I might expect about the same amount of means forwarded to this department from the trustees as was sent last year. It is pleasant to know that one so eminent for his distinguished abilities, great learning and high Christian virtues and worth, will be our friend in helping to move forward the car of education in Georgia, freighted as it is with the best hopes and true happiness of our people.
PEABODY SCHOLARSHIPS.
Georgia, under the generous donation and division of the Peabody Fund, has fourteen regular scholarships in the Normal College at Nashville, Tennessee, now under the presidency of Dr. Wm. H. Payne. There were four vacant scholarships to be supplied at the close of the last summer session. The applicants for these vacancies were numer ous. I ordered the competitive examination required, to be so conducted as to make it perfectly fair, and then appointed a committee of three eminent citizens of high attainments to go over the examination papers of the con testants and select the four best. This committee was

46

composed of Major Wm. F. Slaton, of Atlanta, Ga., Col. Lawton B. Evans, Augusta, Ga., and Hon. Thomas J. Chappell, Columbus, Ga. The high character and entire fitness of these gentlemen for the work assigned was suffi cient guaranteee that it would be faithfully done and with
entire impartiality. The four chosen were as follows: Miss Julia P. Lester, Augusta, Ga. Miss S. C. Stone, Oxford, Ga. Miss Daisy Davies, Decatur, Ga. Mr. George E. Nolan, High Shoals, Ga. The report of the action of the committee is here given :

Atlanta, Ga., September 5th, 1888.
Hor,. James S. Hook, State School Commissioner, Atlanta, Ga.

Dear Sir : As the committee appointed by you to examine the papers

of the applicants for Peabody Scholarships, we beg leave to report that

we have given a very careful and conscientious review of the papers

presented, and find many of them of a marked degree of excellence. A

number of the applicants we feel sure would do credit to the State of

Georgia in the Peabody College. Being required to choose the four

papers which, in our judgment, are the best, we have decided upon those

presented by Miss Tudie C. Stone, Oxford, Ga., Miss Julia P. Lester,

Augusta, Ga., Miss Daisy Davies, Decatur, Ga., and Mr. Geo. E. Nolan,

High Shoals, Ga., and recommend those persons for appointment. With

every expression of respect, we are, Yours, etc.,

W. E. Slaton,

T. J. Chappel,

L. B. Evans,

Committee.

Those just named and the ten appointed in 1887, taken together, constitute the fourteen pupils from this State hold ing Peabody Scholarships in the Nashville Normal College. Those appointed in 1887 were :
Miss Lizzie S. Jordan, of Jefferson county. Miss Jennie T. Clarke, of Polk county. Miss Mattie Haygood, of Oxford, Ga. Miss Dorine Rawls, of Marshallville, Ga. Miss Maude Tompkins, of Grantville. Miss Alice Napier, of LaFayette, Ga. Miss Mamie Aldridge, of Atlanta, Ga.

47
Miss Pinkie Cain, of Linton, Ga. Mr. John Gibson, of Gibson, Ga. Mr. Fermor Barrett, of Oglethorpe county. And I am proud to say that this Georgia class stands high in the College, as the report forwarded to me by Dr. Payne, the president, shows. And the Doctor himself in a letter to this Department speaks of the Georgia class as standing in the front rank with the best scholars in the institution. Dr. Payne kindly gave me ten certificates, already signed by himself, to be given to others whom I might commend for admission to the Normal College, and said that upon my recommendation, after satisfying myself of their qualifications, he would admit those holding these certificates, countersigned by me, and they should be free from an entrance examination at the college. They, unlike the fourteen regular scholarships, would receive no pecu niary aid, and would have to pay their own board, but their tuition would be free and they would enter without an entrance examination. In pursuance of this privilege granted to me, I gave certificates to the following appli cants that I deemed fully worthy, to-wit: , Miss Ida Spence, Warnerville, Ga. Miss Lucy Blasingem, Monroe, Ga. Miss Nettie Dozier, Atlanta, Ga. Miss Claudia Jones, West Point, Ga. Miss Emma D. Cook, Gainesville, Ga. Miss Elmira S. Pottle, Brunswick, Ga. Miss Laura C. Foute, Atlanta, Ga. Mr. John P. Rush, Rome, Ga. Miss Susie Greer, Oglethorpe, Ga. Miss Claudia Dean, Rome, Ga. I have not yet been advised whether all of these went to the college, though several of them, I know, did. I am glad to note the very general desire among those who intend to make teaching a life-time occupation for

48
normal instruction. I will state that those who go to Nashville College from this State promise to devote them selves for four years to teaching in Georgia. In this con nection I would mention a very generous offer made by Dr. Payne to me personally to the effect that if a class of twenty-five teachers will convene at some agreed place in this State at some suitable time to all concerned, he will deliver a course ot normal lectures to them without charge. This is certainly a generous and liberal offer, and as a prominent instructor of our State (Prof. Woodall) said to me, and as, I dare say, other eminent teachers will say and feel, that, " instead of twenty-five teachers, two hundred and fifty, or more, would be delighted to avail themselves of the high privilege, should the invitation be enlarged so as to admit so many."
THE LABOR IN THIS OFFICE.
Dr. Orr called attention to this subject in his last report as follows:
"HEEDS OF THE CENTRAL OFFICE.
" The work in the office of the State School Commissioner 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 intermission 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 employ an additional clerk or expend a limited sum in procuring additional clerical aid at such times as the pressure of labor may make the same necessary."
I will add to what he has said, that the labor in the simple item of correspondence alone, is very great, and will doubtless increase as the work of this Department enlarges and reaches a still wider and ever-advancing range. . Not only are we in almost every day correspondence with the school officials of some one, or more, of the 137 counties

49
in the State, and teachers and other citizens interested, but very frequently with the school authorities, teachers and professors and others in other States and Territories in the Union, and occasionally of those of some foreign countries. Another very important duty, and requiring time and atten tion, is devolved upon the State School Commissioner. He is frequently engaged upon the adjudication of legal ques tions and questions of fact, that come up before him in cases appealed from the decisions of county boards of edu cation. In some of these cases, not only the record sent up by the County School Commissioners, but the argu ments and briefs of lawyers engaged in them, have to be considered and acted upo i. Another duty now imposed upon the State School Commissioner not required by any former law, requires at his hands a'careful review of exam ination papers of. teachers who are candidates for per manent State licenses. I have had over one hundred of these examination papers sent up to me by the County School Commissioners, who certified to the exhibition of unusual merit, and to the good moral and professional char acter of the applicants. In most cases I found the applicants worthy and issued the permanent license authorized by the law. Some of these examination papers are very volumin ous, others not so much so, but I think it may be safely said, they average ten pages, and', it must be confessed, not always of a style of writing that he who runs may read. If the State School Commissioner does his duty faithfully, he has to examine these papers carefully, and as you may readily see, it is a laborious and tedious work. I have issued ninety-six permanent licenses, as the outcome of the two public examinations I ordered, one in January last and another in May. Most of these were to white teachers, but several to colored teachers, and it is due to this latter class to say that they come strongly commended by their respective County School Commissioners before whom thev were examined, and I found they had, in most cases, very

50
fully deserved the commendation they had received. This year we had also to provide for the enumeration of the school population, which increased the pressure on this office. This work was more slow in its accomplishment than was anticipated, but the returns which we have thor oughly examined, show the work to have been carefully done and the tables wre furnish may be regarded as accu rate and correct. This duty will not have to be performed again for some time to come, but every year, and all the time, we have to prepare statistical tables which require great care, tedious attention to details and are attended with immense labor. The law requires me to visit the counties in the State, deliver addresses, look after the con dition of the schools, etc., etc., as often as possible. I have visited and delivered addresses in only a few of the coun ties, because the work in the office this year has been so heavy, constant and urgent, as to forbid a larger and fuller compliance with this required duty. I could quote in this connection letters written to me by Prof. A. I. Branham, Principal of the High School of Glynn county, at Brunswick, Ga., and others, in which they speak of the new impulse given to the cause by this sort of communion between this department and the schools of the counties. I mention this to show that others, who are competent to judge, regard this as a very important duty imposed on the State School Commissioner, the good fruits of which would be more fully experienced if more time could be allowed from the routine of office duties for visits to the schools throughout the State. I most earnestly sub mit that, if not permanent, at least occasional help might be authorized when the exigencies of the work in the office may demand it. I think my very efficient and valuable as sistant, Mr. E. H. Orr, and myself, have tried faithfully to keep up with the work, but we can but feel, that at times, the strain on our physical and mental energies is so great as to call loudly for help. But this, like all of the matters

51
to which I have invited your attention, is cheerfully left to your wise judgment, and with perfect confidence that you will act as the interests of Georgia may demand, and with that action, whether it accords with my suggestions, or views, or wishes, or not, I shall be content.
JAS. S. HOOK, State School Commissioner.

/
Action of the State Board of education.
IN MEMORIAM THE LATE DR. GUSTAVUS J. ORR.
\ Office State School Commissioner,
Atlanta, Ga., January 11, 1888. j After the Board had organized for business, the fol lowing preamble and resolutions were unanimously adopted : At this first assembling of the State Board of Edu cation, since Dr. Ore's death, our hearts are bowed with sorrow as we behold the vacant chair so long occupied by him. Words are inadequate to give full expression to all we feel on this occasion; still are we impelled by sentiments of high esteem for his superior intellectual powers and his varied learning and attain ments, as well as by a profound reverence for his great moral worth and Christian excellence, to record here, on the minutes of this body, as best we may, the deep sensibility with which we mourn his death, and with what grateful and affectionate pride we recall his life long devotion to duty, his dauntless courage in defend ing the right and his unvarying energy, enlightened zeal and ever unyielding persistence in urging upon the attention of those in authority, as well as of the whole people, the high and exalted claims of ed.ucation. Dr. Ore was no ordinary man. From his youth up, through all his career of active life, he was a man of mark. Learned, able, logical and eloquent, he ever sustained himself with rare distinction in whatever position of responsibility he

was placed. Whether before the school room as teacher, the college class as professor or president, the committees of the State Legislature or of the National Congress, or as the chief executive officer of this Board and State School Commissioner of the State of Georgia, he was always equal to the occasion, and challenged and won the esteem, confidence and admi ration of all who' were associated with him or came within the range of his elevating, noble and manly influence. It is needless to say when and where such a man was born or died; history will preserve the record; but it is useful and edifying, as it is pleasant, at all times, to contemplate such a life-work as his and weave garlands to decorate the halls of memory as we recall such a noble and lustrous character of intellectual symmetry and moral beauty as he estab lished while living and has bequeathed to his family, his friends and the State, now that he is dead. In all public trusts (and many were committed to him) he was honest, faithful, able and efficient. But it was as the fast, untiring, unfaltering friend of education he won his brightest laurels. And as the father and constant supporter and defender of the present com mon school educational system of Georgia, which has brought such great benefits to our people, with all its rich promises for the future, he gained the homage of all hearts and minds, and wrought for himself, while only seeking good for others, a deathless fame.
Wherefore we resolve as follows : !. That in the death of the Hon. Gustavus J. Orr, this Board has lost a wise and most worthy exe cutive officer. The cause of education a life-long, earnest and able friend and co-adjutor; his family, a loving, devoted husband and father and a wise and ever tender counsellor; society, one of its brightest ornaments; the State, one of her most noble and justly

illustrious sons, and the Church of Christ, a devout, upright member whose life was a beautiful illustration of that faith which ennobles and makes bright the character of the humble Christian.
2. Our deepest and most heartfelt sympathy is hereby tendered to the bereaved family of the distin guished deceased, whose loss is irreparable and whose grief is too sacred to be reached by expressions of human condolence, and can alone be healed by the balm in Gilead and the Physician there.
3. That we, as members of this Board, will wear the usual badge of mourning for the space of thirty days, and that this room, in which many of his great official duties and labors were performed, and where this body holds its .meetings, be appropriately draped in mourn ing for the same length of time.
And further, that this preamble and these resolu tions be inscribed on a separate page of the minutes of this body, appropriately designated for that pur pose, and that the press of this city be requested to publish them. Also, that a copy be furnished the family of the deceased.

President of the Board.

* (Hall)--Includes same refunded Tax Collector on account of overpayment in 188<>. f (Jefferson.)--County School Commissioner refunded $54.42 paid out by him in 1886 in excess of sum received. Tax Collector repaid $10.81 overpayment by him. I (Oconee.)--Of this sum $66.32 was paid to teachers of 1886. II (Bartow.)--A part of this sum was paid to teachers of 1886.
g (Greene )--Of this sum $135.44 was paid to Tax Collector and Tax Receiver as uncollected commissions on polls of 1886. If (Greene.)--Of this sum $440.00 was derived from the Allison fund. ** (Rabun.)--Of this sum $1.56 was refunded Tax Collector on account of overpayment on polls in 1886. tt (Talbot.)--Of this sum $93.84 was refunded Tax Collector on account of overpayment on polls in 1886. tj (Washington, Whitfield, Troup, Spalding.)--Certain additional sums passing through the hands of the County School Commissioner to
be found in the corresponding column in reports of cities and counties under special laws.
HI (Quitman.)-^-The report of Judge J. E. Smith, the Commissioner of Quitman county, seemed to contain certain inaccuracies which were corrected in the State School Commissioner's office. He was written to relative to the corrections thus made, but his death intervened and prevented his giving his approval or disapproval to these corrections. Correspondence with his successor indicates that the report herein con tained is slightly inaccurate, the amount paid out being some two or three dollars greater than herein appears, and the balance on hand propor tionately less.
In Floyd county the poll tax, going to the city of Rome, is paid to the County School Commissioner and the order on the Tax Collector for both city's and county's quota is drawn in his favor. The late County School Commissioner, a most careful, painstaking and efficient officer, insists that the figures above given in the particulars below named are incorrect, and that his report should be as follows :
Amount paid to teachers, $6,470.49; Total of Expeditures, $6,861.54. Amount of poll-tax received at time of settlement with teachers, $1,800.00. -Amount of State School Commissioners order, $4,820.48. These are the actual sums which went through his hands. The figures given in the above table and those contained in the table wherein the report of the Rome schools appears, if taken together, show the totals just named. In the opinion of this office, it is best to separate between city and county as has been done.
*** (Chattooga.)--This sum includes $209.49 received on polls from Tax Collector after settlement with teachers.
ttf (Carroll.)--The schools of the city of Carrollton are reported with the other schools of the county.

*The excellent public schools of this county seem to have superseded private elementary schools. f The figures given in these columns are for the six white schools: the figures for the two colored schools are as follows: Average number of months, 3; average monthly cost of tuition per pupil, 87+ 1 The excellent school system of this county causes a very small attendance of pupils upon the rather numerous private elementary schools. 1 The four unreported schools are in the city of Atlanta. There may be a tew other private elementary schools in said city, but the fine pub lic schools of the city have almost entirely superseded private elementary schools. The four private elementary schools reported are in the country. The County School Commissioner knew of none outside the city, not reported. 2 The public schools in this county continued for five months. If While there are no private schools in this countv, the Commissioner reports that manv white families have private tutors or governesses for their children. ** The same remark may be made of this county, as has above been made of the counties of Bibb, Chatham, etc. Note.--The number of unreported schools were, in some cases, approximated by the County School Commissioners, but the general result may be depended upon as substantially correct. Information was obtained from all the counties of the State. The table shows the total pumbey of private elementary schools in 1888 to have been one thousand, six hundred and thirty-two.

AN ACT
TO
Amend, Revise and Consolidate
thp:
OF THE
STATE OF GEORGIA,
And for Other Purposes, Approved Oct. 27, 1887; An Act to Amend Sec. 44 thereof, Approved Dec. 13, 1888; Certain Sections of the General Appropriation Act and General Tax Act, both Approved Dec. 26,1888, together with Eeference to Local and Other School Legislation by the General Assembly during the years 1886, 1887 and 1888, and extracts from a circular issued from this office Nov. 4, 1887.
ATLANTA, GA.:
W. J. Campbell, State Printer, Constitution Job Office,
1888.

Office of State School Commissioner,
Atlanta, Ga., February 15, 1889.
Although the present General Assembly has not adjourned but simply taken a recess until the month of July next, and although there are a number of bills pending which materially affect the school laws of this State, I have found it necessary to publish a new edition of the school law of October 27, 1887, the former edition being exhausted, in order to supply the con stant demand from school officers, teachers and others inter ested in educational matters.
When the present Legislature shall have completed its labors, a supplemental pamphlet will be issued giving all necessary information with reference to the law as it may then stand, unless circumstances should require an entirely new edition of the laws.
This Act was amended as to section 44, as will herein appear, by the Act of December 13, 1888. Certain sections of the General Tax Act and of the General Appropriation Act are pub lished herewith, as they are of the utmost interest to the educa tional public.
The last circular issued under the administration of the late Dr. Orr, was dated November 4, 1887, and was largely devoted to an explanation ol the changes in then existing laws made by the Act of October 27, 1887, commonly called the Denny law. The demand for this circular has likewise been large and the supply is exhausted. So much thereof as points out the changes made by the Denny law, is reproduced herewith, as it will doubtless materially aid school officers and others familiar with the old law, in their investigations of the new law.
The custom of this office in making reference to local school laws, so that those interested may be aided in finding them, is kept up, and all legislation of this class enacted in 1886, 1887 and 1888 is herein mentioned.
JAMES S. HOOK, State School Commissioner.

'ITpon the subject of exemptions from the examinations required by our school law, I have heretofore held, as my predecessor did, that licentiates of the " North Georgia Agricultural College," at Dahlonega, were alone, exempted from the neces sity of procuring a license from our County School Boards before being admitted to contracts and participation in the State school fund of Georgia. A few days back my attention was called to the special Act, incorporating "The Middle Georgia Military and Agricultural College," which, in special terms, gives the same exemp tion. My attention was directed to this provision of this special Act by Hon. R. X. Lamar, of Baldwin, its present efficient County School Commissioner. So it now stands that the graduates of no other colleges or schools in Georgia enjoy this exemption. Of course those teachers to whom 1 have issued or may hereafter issue permanent licenses under the Statute, section :>0, are exempt from further exami nations, and may be contracted with many county in Georgia without endorsement of the license by the County School Commissioner of the county. Licenses or diplomas granted by other States confer no privilege of exemption from examina tion here. I will further state that when licenses issued by the Boards in the several counties expire by their own limitation, they cannot be extended. Theremust be another examination, followed by license granted before contracts with, the Boardean be had.--James S. Hook, State School Commissioner.

A license of the Grades of first grade shall continue in force for three years, a license 0flloen!!e-
the second grade for two years, and a license of the third grade for one year, which said licenses shall entitle teachers holding them to be employed for and during the period of their licenses in any of the common schools of the county where issued. Licenses, to be good in another county than the one in and for which they are issued, must be endorsed by the County School Commissioner of the county in which the applicant desires to teach.
Sec. 30. After passing upon the examination papers as here- Permanent inbefore provided, if, in the opinion of the County School license. Commissioner, any one or more of them exhibit unusual merit, he shall forward such papers to the State School Commissioner, together with his certificate of the good moral and professional character of the applicant, and if, in the opinion of the State School Commissioner, said papers exhibit a sufficient degree of merit, he shall issue a permanent teacher's license to the appli cant, which license shall be good in any county of this State, and which shall only be revokable by the State School Commis sioner for good and sufficient cause.
Sec. 31. That the County Commissioner shall have power, Kevoniand it shall be his duty, to revoke licenses granted by him, or licensi'. his predecessors, for incompetency, immorality, cruelty to pupils, or neglect of his duties, and the revocation of the license of any teacher shall terminate the connection of said teacher with any school which he may have been employed to teach ; but any teacher so dismissed shall have the right to appeal to Appeal, the County Board of Education, whose decision shall be final.

AN ACT
To amend section 44 of an Act to amend, revise and consoli date the common school laws of the State of Georgia, and for other purposes, approved October 27, 1887, by striking all of said section after the words "was raised" in the 7 th line of said section.
Section i. The General Assembly of Georgia do enact, That from and after the passage of this Act, section 44 of the Act to amend, revise and consolidate the common school laws of the State of Georgia, and for other purposes, approved October 27, 1887, be and the same is hereby amended by striking all of said sec tion after the words "was raised" in the seventh line of said section; so that said section, when amended, shall read as fol lows : "That all poll tax collected in this State, shall, from and after the passage of this Act, be paid over to the County School Commissioners of the several counties of this State and be, by the County Boards of Education, in the several counties of this State, paid out without any deduction for fees or salaries of officers, to the support of the common schools in the respec tive counties where said poll tax was raised."*
Sec. 2. Be it further enacted, That all laws and parts of laws in conflict with this Act be, and the same are here repealed.
Approved December 13, 1888. *Note.--The State Board of Education, under the language above, have held " that Tax Collectors should jiay over to the County School Commissioners only the net poll tax collected by them."
The General Appropriation Act, approved Dec., 26, 1888, after making certain appropriations to the State University, the School of Technology and the Branch Colleges at Dahlone ga, Milledgeville, Thomasville and Cuthbert, and a conditional appropriation to the Atlanta University, contains the following:
"For the support of the common schools for the year 1889, one hundred and sixty five thousand dollars; for the support of the common schools for the year 1890, three hundred and thirty thousand dollars; these sums to be drawn and expended under the general school laws of this State and to be additional to the moneys already belonging to the common school fund under existing laws. Should the returns of taxable property

26
for the year 1889 and for the year 1890 prove to be greater than three hundred and sixty million dollars ($360,000,000) then and in that case the sums arising from the general tax levy of two and seventy hundredths (2-70-100) mills for 1889, and from the general tax levy of two and forty hundredths ( 2-40-100 ) mills for 1890, upon said returns of taxable property in excess of three hundred and sixty millions dollars ($360,000,000) is hereby appropriated to the common school fund of the State in addition to the one mill appropriated to the common school fund by this Act for the year 1889, and in addition to the moneys appropriated by existing laws to the common school fund."
Section 1st of the General Tax Act, approved December 26, 1888, after the enacting clause, reads as follows:
"That the Governor be authorized and impowered, with the assistance of the Comptroller-General, to assess and levy a tax on the taxable property of this State of two and seven-tenths mills per centum for the fiscal year eighteen hundred and eightynine and two and four-tenths mills per centum for the fiscal year eighteen hundred and ninety ; and the Governor be and he is hereby authorized and empowered by and with the assis tance of the Comptroller-General to assess and levy, in addition to the foregoing general State tax, a tax of one-half of a mill for the year 1889, and a tax of one mill for the year 1890, on all of the taxable property of this State, for the purpose of raising the funds necessary to meet the appropriations by this General Assembly for educational purposes in instructing children in the elementary branches of an English edcucation only."
OTHER SCHOOL LEGISLATION.
Under the above heading there was printed with the former edition of the Act of Oct., 27, 1887, the following:
"In 1886 there was issued from this office a ^ery complete edition of the Public School Laws of the State of Georgia of general operation and then of force throughout the State. The only Act herein contained is the one passed at the late session of the General Assembly, the title of which indicates that it was

27
designed not only to amend, but to codify existing laws. In a circular letter, bearing date Nov. 4, 1887, I have carefully pointed out the changes made by the new law, and it is un necessary to repeat anything contained in that communication. In the edition of the la"'s published by me in 1886 there was careful reference to many Acts, both general and special, in cluding both those of force and those repealed or otherwise not of force. It was intended to cover in that pamphlet all Public School legislation, by giving the text in full of general laws of force, and by citing all other Acts, so that any one interested in them might readily find them. I shall continue the work thus begun, herein naming all legislation effected by the present Legislature.
"First. I shall make reference to the action which appears in the laws of 1886, a volume comprising the legislation of the first or winter session of the body just named.
"Acts were passed authorizing a system of Public Schools for the City of Carrollton [Laws of 1886, p. 306]. and for the City of Newnan [same, p. 312]. Both these acts were ratified at the polls and are of force. An Act amendatory of the Chat ham County law was passed [Laws of 1886, p. 309] and a short law for Gordon County[same, p. 311], which are likewise of force.
"An Act to provide School Buildings for the City of Greens boro [Laws of 1886, p. 244] and a somewhat similar Act for Fort Valley [same, page 256] were dependent for ratification on a vote of the people. I have not been informed as to the result of the vote.
"An act to authorize the extension of the corporate limits of Columbus [Laws of 1886, p. 249], contained in the 4th section thereof certain enactments relative to the provision to be made for Public Schools in the added territory. This Act was like wise dependent for ratification on a popular vote. 1 am unable to give any further information about it.
"The Acts of the summer session of the Legislature of 1886 and 1887 are not yet published. Hence I cannot refer to the page and volume where those herein referred to will be found.
"Acts were passed authorizing Public Schools for the follow ing places: Cedartown, Covington, Washington and Waycross.
i

28
The Act already of force for Athens was amended, as were the Acts fof Newnan and for Sandersville.
"An Act for Milledgeville authorizing a local tax for the support of the Middle Georgia Military and Agricultural College, and for the support of the Eddy School, and an Act authorizing a local tax for school purposes for the town of Millen, are also among the laws of the summer session. The Mayor and Council of Dublin were authorized to appropriate money arising from liquor licenses to the school in that town.
"Three acts were passed for selling certain school property in the town of Elberton and for the building of new school houses. An Act somewhat similar was passed for the town of Franklin, Heard county.
" There was also an Act for building school-houses in the City of Eatonton.
" Another Act for extending the limits of the City of Colum bus contained provisions in its 4th section relative to Public schools in the annexed district. The town Commons of this city are one source of school revenue and an Act was passed relative to said Commons, which it is hardly necessary, perhaps, to mention in this connection. An Act amending the charier of Griffin names a limit for taxes in said city and designates the sum to be raised for different purposes, among them being the amount to be raised for schools.
"Under an Act for that purpose, the Board of Education of Upson county are to use the Starr school of Thomaston for furnishing common school privileges to colored children under certain limitations and restrictions named in the Act.
" An Act for Telfair county provides that the Ordinary shall sell all insolvent tax fi. fas. belonging to the county, and turn overthe net proceeds to the County School Commissioner.
" There was passed a resolution for the destruction of certain unissued bonds, prepared under "the Act of 1872" and under " the Act of 1868." The bonds in question were deposited in the treasury to replace school moneys diverted to other uses, said diversion occurring under the Act of July 28, 1870. Under all the circumstances, their destruction was proper.
" A resolution was passed, the effect of which is to suspend the appropriation to the Atlanta University until such time as

29
the authorities of that institution shall cease to teach white children therein.
" It only remains to be mentioned that an Act was passed with the following title: "An Act to make County Commis sioners, Tax Receivers, Tax Collectors, Members of the County Board of Education, County School Commissioners, Ordinaries and County Treasurers incompetent to serve as Grand Jurors during their terms of office, and for other purposes." The whole scope of the Act is shown in the title.
" As is well known, many of the foregoing local bills depend for their validity on ratification at the polls. Some of them are to be submitted to the people, although no constitutional require ment in their cases demands it. I leave those intereststed to ascertain, each for himself, which of the foregoing is of force and which inoperative. In conclusion, I would say that I may have made reference to legislation not properly common school legislation, or related thereto. If so, no harm is done. My effort is to be sure to include all that is germain to the sub ject just named, and I may include more in attempting to fully carry out this purpose."
To the above it is only necessary to add the following list of Acts passed at the late session of the General Assembly. These Acts were as follows :
"AN ACT
"To authorize the Mayor and Aldermen of the City of Greensboro to call an election in said city to determine the question of issuing bonds for the purpose of constructing and furnishing a school house for the whites and also one for the colored people; to purchase suitable real estate for such house or houses; to provide for the payment of the principal and interest accruing on said bonds by local taxation; to provide for the proper division of the fund raised by the sale of said bonds between said schools, and also for the proper disburse ment and custody of the fund raised, and to repeal the Act with reference to the same subject, approved December 24,

Approved December 26, 1888.
Points of Difference Between the Law as it Now Stands and as it Stood Prior to the
, . Act of October 27 1887
The circular of Nov. 4, 1887, issued under the administra tion of the late Dr. Orr, contained, among other matters, the following:
" At the session of the Legislature which closed on the 20th of October last, a number of important school measures were acted upon of which it is proper that some account should be given. With the single exception of an Act which disqualifies members of the Board of Education, County School Commission ers and some others from serving on Grand Juries, but one bill of general operation, in which, the school officers and teachers are interested, was passed. This was entitled ` An Act to amend, revise and consolidate the common school laws of

33
the State of Georgia, and for other purposes,' and was approved on the 27th ult. This bill was the result of the labors of a special committee of the House of Representatives, raised at the winter session in 1886, and was introduced into the House by the Chairman of that Committee, Mr. Denny, of Floyd. After being amended in certain particulars, it passed both Houses of the General Assembly, and receiving the Governor's signature, it became a law as above stated. It is my purpose to follow the custom so long in force and to print this Act for the use of school officers and others at a very early day. It would, how ever, be of the utmost convenience, to those just named, on ac count of their familiarity with former statutes, to have pointed out the chief points of difference between the law as it now stands and as it stood prior to this Act. Hence, I have decided to render this service in the present circular. It would be well for those who receive it to preserve it after reading it in order that it may be again read with the new law in hand, for I shall send copies of the latter to most of those who receive this circu lar. If I have failed to point out any material change or have fallen into any inaccuracy, I shall be more than thankful to have my attention called to the matter. There are very many changes made in the language of the old law and a number of changes in the order or arrangement of sentences and sections. Many of the former are purely verbal changes, and it is hardly necessary to note any of the latter. There are also a num ber of changes from the language of the general school law of August 23, 1872, which are simply the result of codifi cation, the altered parts having been repealed or added to or otherwise modified by legislation, constitutional or statutory, anterior to the late Act. I shall note some changes, perhaps, which are no real alterations, but I shall endeavor to mention all which in any material degree change the law. I shall follow no fixed order in enumerating the changes, but shall follow more nearly than any other the numerical order of the sections of the new law.
" I would remark that the Act is preceded by a preamble which declares that ` amendment, revision and consolidation of the present existing common school laws of Georgia are advisa ble and necessary.'

34
` ` Throughout the entire Act the schools are described by the term ` common ' where they were formerly called ` public.' In some instances both adjectives are used.
" Under section 8 the apportionment of the school fund no longer has to be laid before the Governor. Time has effected a change in the provision of the old law for including Confeder ate soldiers under thirty years of age in the school population and the change thus made is recognized in the Act by omitting them from its provisions.
" Section 13 omits the provision of the old law which made the State School Commissioner pay his own board and hotel bills when traveling on official business.
" Section 16 follows the old law which made publishers, their Agents or those otherwise interested pecuniarily in the sale of school books, ineligible to membership on the Board, and goes farther and imposes the same disqualification on County School Commissioners.
` ` The old law declared that the Secretary of the Board should be ex-officio County School Commissioner. Section 18 of the new law puts it the other way and makes the County School Commissioner ex-officio Secretary.
"The new law, in section 19, re-enacts exemption for the members of the Board from road, jury and militia duty. These exemptions are thus again put upon unassailable grounds. It was doubtful as to what rights mempers of the Board enjoyed in this matter, as so many Acts have been passed on this subject since the original school law. The same section omits the re striction placed by the old law upon the length of the regular sessions of the Board, and it also omits the reference to called meetings of the Board, which the old law contained. In section 20 of the old law there was another reference to a catted meeting of the Board, but no similar reference occurs in the new law.
"Section 20 of the new law makes some change in the law as it stood. Under it one school must be established in every sub-district for white pupils and one for colored pupils, `where the population of the two races is sufficient,' and no additional school can be established in the sub-district without an enroll ment therein of not less than twenty-five pupils. The schools must be as near `the center of the sub-school districts as can

35
be conveniently arranged, reference being had to any school house already erected and population of said sub-school district and to the location of white and colored schools with regard to contiguity.' The power to change district lines remains intact.
"Section 21 refers to a tax to be levied on property for the erection of school-houses. The old law made a similar refer ence to a tax for this purpose `as hereinafter provided,' but no provision was thereinafter' made. These words are changed in the new law to `as may be hereafter provided.'
"Section 23 of the new law relates to the adoption of text books, and provides that there shall be no change in the books adopted, for a term of five years, save by a three-fourths vote of all the Board. This would require the concurrence of four members. Should a teacher allow a pupil to use any other than the prescribed books, he cannot receive pay from the public fund for that pupil. By section 32 it is made the duty of the County School Commissioner to see that none but the pre scribed text-books are used by pupils.
"Section 24 provides for the election of the County School Commissioner `who shall be ex-officio County Superintendent of Common Schools.' He is to be chosen from among the citi zens of the county. The old law provided that he might be chosen from among the members of the Board, or from among the citizens of the county. *11 does not seem clear whether the change is more apparent than real. On this point I will here after have more to say. Applicants for this office must submit to an examination by the President of the Board, or by some one appointed by him, or by the Board for that purpose. This examination is by means of questions furnished by the State School Commissioner and is on the subjects taught in the com mon schools, `upon the science and theory of common school teaching and government, and upon such other subjects as the State School Commissioner may deem proper.' `The said County Board of Education shall then elect such applicant County School Commissioner, who has stood satisfactory ex amination, taking into consideration the moral character, bus iness qualifications and general availability of each applicant.'
"Section 25 enacts that the County School Commissioner
'i'See.flna] note.

36
shall take ` the same oath required of the other officers of this State.' This is new in the school law, but it was already a requirement by the general laws of the State. The next section provides for the removal from office of the County School Com missioner for the same reasons as heretofore (a slight change in the grounds is to be mentioned), but by the Board instead of by the Judge of the Superior Court and the Grand Jury. There is an appeal from the Board to the State School Commissioner, and from the State School Commissioner to the State Board of Education. The change in grounds of removal alluded to above is the omission of the word ` general ' before the words ` neglect of duty.'
" Section 27 provides that when a vacancy occurs in the office of County School Commissioner, there shall be an examination and election to fill the unexpired term under like regulations as heretofore mentioned.
"Sections 28 and 29 relate to the examination of teachers. A new branch is added to those formerly examined upon, viz : `The science and practice of teaching in common schools,' and the questions are to be prepared and furnished to the. County School Commissioners by the State School Commis sioner. He also instructs as to the grading of applicants, and fixes ` the lowest standard for each class of licenses. ' County School Commissioners grade the applicants according to the State School Commissioner's instructions and submit to the Board a written report and recommendation. The Board licenses, provided the applicants obtain the lowest marked fixed for the several grades by the State School Commissioner. Ev idence of good moral character is required to be submitted in writing. Fourth grade licenses are abolished. The act requires the State School Commissioner to fix a ` day or days ' for the examination of all teachers throughout the State. The County School Commissioner is to give notice of the day (not days) on which examinations are to be had. No teacher can be exam ined at any other time except on affidavit that ` he or she was providentially hindered from being present on the general examination day or days, and has not seen or been informed of the contents of the general question papers.' Section 30 pro vides that papers of unusual merit may be forwarded to the State

37
School Commissioner, with an endorsement by the County School Commissioner of the author's good moral and profes sional character. Upon these papers the State School Commis sioner may issue a permanent State license, revocable for `good and sufficient cause' by him only.
"The County School Commissioner is required by section 32 to visit the schools at least once during the term, or twice if practicable, and oftener if ordered by the Board, ` and without notice to the teachers. '
Section 36 adds to the inhibition on the subject in the old law these words, ` and no teacher receiving or teaching white and colored pupils in the same school shall be allowed any compensation at all out of the common school fund.'
"Section 39 of the new law takes the place, with some changes, of the section in the old law known as 28, and section 29 of the old law is entirely omitted. The effect of changes thus made is to abolish what were called in the old law Ambu latory schools.' There can now be no such thing as a twomonths' school in any locality.
" Section 43 adds to the sources of the school fund the net proceeds of the inspection of oils. There are no net proceeds, as the entire fees go to the inspectors."
The circular here points out the change relative to poll tax ft. fas. This is no longer a change, as this provision has been repealed.
*" There are some changes in the wording of section 53, which relates to systems under local laws, but it is not clear that' these are material.
"Section 54 is the final section. It repeals the Act of August 23, 1872, (heretofore known as `the General School Law), `the various Acts amendatory thereof, and all and every other law inconsistent or conflicting with the provisions of this Act.' The new law nowhere contains the provisions of Act of February 22, rSyy, commonly known as the Trustee law. So much of that law as made it optional with the Boards to have the County School Commissioner visit the schools is clearly repealed. * Whether the entire law is repealed is not so clear to my mind. The same doubt exists as to the Act of September
* See final note.

38
27, i88i, authorizing compulsory vaccination. I hardly think the Act of October 16, 1885, on the subject of industrial educa tion in cities and counties under local laws, is effected by the repealing^ clause of this Act. Whatever may be the proper construction of the repealing clause, it is clear that there is a question as to whether the two Acts first above mentioned are not still in force."
'"Note.--It might be well to mention that the Trustee law has been decided to be repealed and the other Acts named, to be in force, as will fully appear from a cir cular issued from this office January 10,1888, and embodied in the report of the State School Commissioner to the General Assembly, submitted in November, 1888. The same circular shows that the question of the eligibility of a member of the Boa'd of Education has been decided, and that this decission has settled the ques tion in. the negative. In this connection, it may be stated that I have recently reached the conclusion, that the local Act for Berrien, Charlton, Clinch, Dodge, Echols, Lowndes and Ware was repealed by the General school law of 1887. My attention, had not been called to the matter distinctly until recently, and while I am now satisfied the local Act is repealed, yet I did not reach that conclu sion without difficulty and some doubt, and in my letter to the Hon. A. G. Gowen, Senator, from the 4th District, who addressed me on the subject, and a subsequent one to N. N. Mizell, President of the Board of Education of Charlton county, I asked that my decision be appealed from at once, so if wrong, I might be set right by the State Board of Education. I here repeat that I hope this will be done. I will mention that as to the counties of Dodge and Lowndes, this Act had already by special Acts, been repealed. It is proper to state, however, that the recent ses sion of the General Assembly amended the Act as to Ware. When this amendment was made, I have no knowledge that the question of the repeal of the entire Act was brought to the attention of the Legislature.--Jas. S. Hook, S. S. Com,r.
