Office of State School Commissioner, Atlanta, Ga., October 25, 1893.
lo His Excellency, Gov. W. J. Northen:
My Dear Sir--I have the honor to submit to you, for transmission to the General Assembly, the report due from this office.
Appreciating the active interest you have always mani fested in this Department, I am, with sentiments of respect and esteem,
Your obedient servant, S. D. Bradwell,
State School Commissioner.

REPORT.
1 o the General Assembly of Georgia :
The law, amended at the last session of the Legislature, now requires the State School Commissioner to make an annual report to the General Assembly. In compliance with that law, I lay before you my report of the operations of the Common School System for the year 1892. Refer ence will also be made to what is being done in 1893, so as to show the present condition and the outlook for the future.
There is much, in the remarkable growth of the Common School System for congratulation. It was not built up; but it has grown up. When the system was inaugurated in 1871, the opposition to popular education was so strong as to threaten its existence. That opposition has almost entirely disappeared, and many who were violent oppo nents of education by the State are now among its most earnest advocates. This growth from infancy in 1871 to maturity in 1893, is made evident by the double tests of money expenditure and results, contrasted as follows:

For many years the entire fund for common schools was derived from the half rental of the State Road and certain specific taxes. Only since 1889 has any portion of the fund been raised by direct taxation.

There are three great factors in the problem of popular education :
1. The People.--In our government all power comes from the people; and upon their support, indorsement and interest, in a great measure, depends the success or failure of this great system, inaugurated by their representatives

5
and under their instructions. The people are thoroughly alive to the importance of sustaining the schools, and evince a willingness to be taxed more heavily for more schools and better ones. They manifest an active interest in the various educational gatherings, school exercises and teach ers' institutes which have been held in every part of the State. In the many appeals in behalf of education which I have had the privilege of making to the people of every section of the State, I have been able to gain their ear, and a feeling of State pride has been aroused which prompts a hearty indorsement of the Common School System.
2. The Teachers.--The teacher is the officer commis sioned by the State to train the children up to intelligent, upright and useful citizenship. Thereus marked improve ment among the teachers in knowledge, methods, and in that class pride which is converting school teaching in Geor gia into a profession instead of a temporary business, entered upon as a stepping-stone to law, medicine or merchandise. Preparatory training and continual study for the duties of the schoolroom are more and more regarded as essential. While in the large army of 10,000 teachers there are some unworthy and incompetent ones, yet the standard has been elevated and those who cannot attain it are dropping out. As a class the teachers stand high, and deserve unstinted praise for their faithful, zealous discharge of duties which bring them small salaries after months of weary waiting. I can say that the teachers of Georgia are not teachers for " revenue only," but teachers for " protection "--protection of the best and highest interests of the future history, patri otism and prosperity of the State. They are doing their part on behalf of the State well. Is the converse of this statement true?
3. The Children.--The children constitute, after all, the most important factor in the great work of universal edu

6
cation, for they are the ones who are to be the recipients of its benefits. They are not lacking in the part they are to perform in bringing about the much desired result. They are bright, intelligent and willing. Examples of truancy are not of frequent occurrence. No compulsory law is nec essary for the child, whatever may be said of the parent. The interest manifested by many, very many, of the young men and young women of the State in trying to secure for themselves better advantages is highly gratifying, and demonstrates very clearly to my mind that the opportuni ties of improvement are highly prized by the children.
To be in close touch and sympathy with these three fac tors is, in my judgment, of the greatest importance. I have, therefore,'as the law directs me, devoted all the time I could spare from the imperative duties of the office to visit ing the people, the teachers and the school children. This work has been made much lighter by the assistance and sympathy of Governor Northen, who regards the education of the masses as the strongest safeguard of the government.
To recapitulate: The people, delegating their power to their representatives, placed in operation in 1871 the ma chinery of a system of common schools. The teachers, under the operations of that system, have been engaged in training the children. The children have been utilizing and absorbing this training. The money expenditure has been less than half a million dollars a year. The results are that ninety-seven per cent, of the present school popu lation of Georgia has been in the schoolroom--that pop ular education has reached the masses, with the exception of only three per cent.
Illiteracy is disappearing.

THE SCHOOL FUND.
The constitution says that the expenses of the Common School System shall be provided for by taxation, or other wise. The poll tax, show tax and liquor tax are set apart in the constitution for the support of common schools; the other sources of revenue for the school fund result from legislative enactment under the grant of power " by taxa tion or otherwise." At the present time, the additional sources are: half rental of the State Road, dividends on stock owned by the State in the Georgia Railroad, the net hire of convicts, sale of ungranted lands, fees from oil in spection, net fees inspection fertilizers, lease of oyster lands and direct taxation. The following table, showing the net school fund for each year since the adoption of the policy of augmenting the fund by direct taxation, will be of in terest :

It will be remembered that the poll tax is not included in the statement of the school fund for each of the five years mentioned. It is not apportioned by this department,

but under existing laws it remains in the several counties. It is a county fund, and not, strictly speaking, a part ofthe State School Fund. The necessity for a change in the law in this respect is referred to in a subsequent part of this report.

TAXATION FOE EDUCATION.
In the light of the fact that seven-eighths of all educa tion in the United States is public--supported by taxation, and not by private enterprise, or voluntary contributions, there is no room, or necessity, for any argument in behalf of popular education. The verdict of the people in every section of this great country is almost unanimous in favor of systematic control of education by the State and its sup port by a tax upon manhood and property.
In the United States, as an average for all the States, the rate of taxation is 5.6 mills. Local, city or dis trict taxation often runs as high as 28 mills.
A comparison just at this point may help to throw light on this subject. In the following table, which I have culled from the late reports of Hon. W. T. Harris, United States Commissioner of Education, I have taken two States

10
in different sections,-showing the rate of taxation for educa tional purposes:
Mississippi-------7.8 mills. Texas__________ 4.8 mills. Massachusetts 3.8 mills. New York______ 4.5 mills. Illinois,----- __14.4 mills. Nebraska_______18.7 mills.
In Georgia in the year 1893, the educational tax proper is only 1.4 mills. This tax raises over one-half of the entire school fund, the other portion being raised from specific taxes. But if the whole amount expended for pub lic schools, exclusive of poll tax, had to be raised from direct taxes, it would require a rate of only 2.3 mills; and if all, including poll tax also, was taken from the pockets of the people by direct property taxation, the rate would be but 2.7 mills.
Again, Georgia is not a pauper State. In this year of financial depression, when taxable property has shrunk in valuation eleven millions, we are worth $246 per capita, while some of Georgia's neighbors are not worth more than $125 or $130 per capita. Besides, Georgia owns a mag nificent public property, in which each individual man, woman and child in her borders has a good five dollar gold piece as a nest-egg. And each one of us this year must con tribute about sixty-two and a half cents to the education of the children of the State.
To illustrate more fully: A citizen in Georgia returns $3,000 worth of property and his poll. He sends three children to school. He pays the State $4.20 property tax and one dollar poll tax, making $5.20, into the school fund. He draws out at least $15.00 in the schooling of his children.
The educational tax in Georgia is not burdensome.

11

THE PEABODY FUND IN GEORGIA.
The generosity of the Trustees of the Peabody Fund, through Dr. J. L. M. Curry, the General Agent, who ishimself deeply interested in educational work in Georgia, is made more emphatic in view of the fact that the State has done so little for teacher-training. The number of scholarships allotted to Georgia at the Peabody Normal College at Nashville is twenty-two. A scholarship appointment en titles the holder to $100 for the scholastic year and trans portation to Nashville from home and return. To show how highly these appointments are prized, it is only neces sary to state that hundreds of applications are made to me for the few vacancies that occur in consequence of death or resignation'. There can be no doubt of the ardent desire of our youth to attend this justly celebrated school for teacher-training. Nor can there be any doubt of the great benefits the State has reaped in the sixteen years this liber ality has been extended by the trustees.
The following list of appointments up to date will be interesting :

In addition to these scholarships at the Peabody Nor mal College, help has very generously been extended in aid of the Georgia Normal and Industrial College at Milledge ville, and to teachers' institutes.
A full report in reference to the Peabody Institutes and the Milledgeville school for 1892 is contained in my last general report to the General Assembly.
For 1893, Dr. Curry gave me $3,850. Including the balance left over since last report of $266.72, the amount for 1893 is $4,116.72, all of which has been expended, in accordance with Dr. Curry's directions, for the Girls' Nor mal and Industrial College and Teachers' Institutes.
To give full information I insert the report made to Dr. Curry :
Atlanta, Ga., August 22, 1893.
Hon. J. L. M. Curry, General Agent Peabody Fund, Wash ington, D. C.
Dear Sir--I respectfully submit to you my report of the Teachers' Institutes held in Georgia, under the patron age of the Peabody Fund for the year 1893, together with an itemized statement of the receipts and disbursements of the fund entrusted to me for institutes and for the aid of the normal department of the Milledgville school.
Under the discretionary power granted me I decided to locate the institutes--one for North Georgia and one for South Georgia--at Marietta and Thomasville, where, in my judgment, the greatest number of teachers, white and col ored, could be reached. The results justified the selection I had made. While it required a large part of my time to give personal supervision to the institutes located three hundred miles apart, I feel well repaid by knowing that there was uniformity in the work, which was designed es pecially to meet the wants of the teachers whose opportuni
2ssc

18
ties to acquaint themselves with the best methods had been limited.' Besides, the interest and zeal excited among the teachers, and the enthusiastic support of all present of plans for teacher-training were eminently satisfactory.
No secretaries were employed, but an instructor was de tailed each day to keep a record of the proceedings, and full minutes are in my possession. Below I give a condensed statement:
MARIETTA.
The institutes at this place were opened July 10th and continued in session twenty working days. Here I was assisted by the following faculty:
WHITE DEPARTMENT.
English.--Prof. J. S. Stewart, Superintendent public schools Marietta.
Arithmetic.--Prof. W. H. Ferguson, Principal Hapeville Academy.
Geography.--Prof. A. I. Branham, Superintendent public schools of Brunswick.
History.--Prof. J. F. Little, Superintendent public schools of Boswell.
Primary.--Miss Mamie L. Pitts, of the public schools of Atlanta.
Miss Pitts, whose work was most excellent, was forced, in consequence of ill health, to retire after two weeks work, but her place was ably and satisfactorily filled by Mrs. L. K. Rogers, of Gordon Institute, Barnesville, Ga.
In the department of Pedagogy I had the efficient help of each of the instructors, who in turn gave profitable lec tures on this important branch.

19
COLORED DEPARTMENT.
The following faculty had charge of this department, under my supervision :
Geography.--Prof. A. Tolliver, of the Marietta public schools.
Arithmetic.--Prof. H. L. Walker, of the Augusta public schools.
English.--Prof. E. L. Chew, of the public schools of Atlanta.
History.--Prof. F. G. Snelson, of the public schools of -Cartersville.
Primary.--Miss Mary C. Jackson, of the Atlanta Uni versity.
The attendance at Marietta was: White department, 134; colored department, 84; total, 218.
THOMASVILLE.
The Institute at Thomasville began July 17th, and con tinued for twenty working days.
THE WHITE DEPARTMENT
was opened with the following faculty : History.--Prof. J. C. Lynes, President of South Georgia
College at Thomasville. English.--Prof. A. Q. Moody, Principal of Boston Acad
emy. Geography.--Prof. Chas. Lane, of the School of Technol
ogy, Atlanta. Arithmetic.--Prof. J. W. Frederick, Principal of the
Marshallville High School. Primary.--Mrs. E. K. Head, Principal of the Peabody
Model School of G. N. & I. College.

20
COLORED DEPARTMENT.
English.--Prof. Chas. Pice, of the Thomasville schools^ History.--Prof. R. R. Wright, President of the colored college at Savannah. Geography.--Prof. J. N. Clay, of the Milledgeville schools. Arithmetic.--Prof. Floyd Snelson, of the public schools of Waycross. Primary.--Miss Lucy C. Laney, of the public schools of Augusta. The attendance at Thomasville was: White, 140; col ored, 114; total, 254. The compensation of the instructors was fixed at the uni form rate of $5.00 per day for both white and colored. This will be seen from the itemized statement of the re ceipts and disbursements accompanying this report.
SUMMARY.
The character of the work done was highly satisfactory,, and received favorable commendation from school officials and visitors. In conducting the institutes I endeavored to combine theory and practice to meet the wants of the teachers under the environments of our public school sys tem, leading the teachers up to higher conceptions of their important calling and to practical application of approved plans and methods in their own schoolrooms.
The instructors, both white and colored, were fully alive to the importance of their work and were earnest and capa ble.
The teachers who were present received, as all, without exception, stated, great benefit.
But the attendance, which foots up as follows: white. 274; colored, 198; total, 472, was not what it ought to

21
have been. This unsatisfactory enrollment is attributable to two causes:
1. The teachers in the country schools had not received any pay.
2. Many of the country schools were in progress, and the teachers could not leave, and many of the city teachers had gone to the World's Fair.
A Summer Normal School, by the assistance of the Gil mer Fund, was in successful operation at Athens for seven weeks, with an enrollment of 121. This attendance added to the Peabody Institutes makes a total of 593 who have had the benefit of normal instruction this summer.
The twenty-two scholarships at the Peabody Normal College, generously allotted to Georgia, are regarded by the young men and young women of Georgia as valuable prizes. Every scholarship is filled and there are still hun dreds of applicants.
County institutes have been held in every county in the State, and all the leading teachers of the State cordially indorse the policy, which is having already a marked effect, elevating and improving the profession.
The Normal Department of the girls' school at Milledge ville is accomplishing great good. This school in all its departments is full to its utmost capacity, and many are turned away. This school is an institution worthy of the highest commendation.
These facts show progress on the line of normal training; and the prediction may be safely made that the next Gen eral Assembly will act favorably.
In popular education Georgia is making substantial progress. This statement is founded upon the following facts :
1. The increase of the fund. The State School Fund for 1893 is $1,058,532.52, which, supplemented by the poll tax collected in the fall, will reach $1,258,000.

22
2. The census returns show that only 3 per cent, of thepresent'school population has never attended school.
3. Illiteracy is being rapidly diminished, the white illit eracy of the school population being 11 per cent; colored,, 27; total, 18.
4. The earnest interest of the people in the cause of pop ular education. In the many counties which I have visited the people would assemble in large numbers to hear ad dresses in reference to the common school system, and ex press their willingness to be taxed more heavily for the support of the common schools. In this important work Governor Northen often gave valuable aid.
These are some of the facts upon which I base the asser tion that the people, the teachers and the children, and I will add, the General Assembly, are in line for popular ed ucation in Georgia.
With gratitude to you and the Board of Trustees of the Peabody Fund, this report is respectfully submitted.
S. D. Bkadwell, State School Commissioner.
THE COMMON SCHOOL. TERM.
The increase in the length of the term from three months to five months began in 1891, and was continued in 1892.. It is also the requirement in 1893. Instructions were given to the County School Commissioners to make contracts with teachers for five months--one hundred school days-- and that no school for less than that time could be recog nized. The opportunity was, therefore, given to every child in Georgia to attend school for one hundred days for each of the years 1891, 1892, 1893.

HOW THE SCHOOL FUND IS PAID OUT.

It is well known that, under existing law, not a dollar of school money is paid directly out of the Treasury. The State School Commissioner is authorized to issue an order on the tax collector of each county to pay from the first taxes collected in the fall over to the County School Com missioner the county's quota as apportioned upon the basis of the school population. This, of course, does not include the poll tax, but does include the amount derived from the half rental of the State Road and all the specific taxes. In thirty-two counties all the State taxes collected in 1892 were not sufficient to meet the orders on the tax collectors issued by this department. This policy gives rise to the idea that these counties are paupers, and do not pay their full share into the school fund, and that the larger and more prosperous counties are paying the deficit--helping to educate the children of other counties. No county pays a cent into the State Treasury. The tax for educational purposes is a State tax, not a county tax, and every citizen, no matter where he lives, pays exactly the same according to his property. The list is given below, not for the pur pose of making unpleasant comparisons, but to show the true situation with the view of having attention drawn to this subject in order that all school money may be paid directly into the Treasury of the State. It cannot be com puted at this time for 1893, but that list will show several additions.

teachers' county institutes.
The policy of requiring the teachers to assemble at stated intervals at their county sites, or some other place, selected in accordance with law, in a school of instruction known

25
as a teachers' institute, went into operation in 1892. In addition to what was stated in my last report, I have given fuller information by counties for that year. While there was some opposition on the part of some of the teachers and many of the patrons in 1892--and this opposition has not entirely ceased up to this date--yet I think the policy is very generally indorsed. This is demonstrated by the many resolutions passed at the various county institutes held this year. Very few resolutions speak out in opposi tion or ask for the law to be abolished, but many of them are in favor of amending the law so as to make it uniform in its operations, and to reduce the expenses on the part of the teachers to the lowest figure. When the State inaugu rates the plan of paying the teachers quarterly, there will be no opposition to the institutes except from those who have entered into the business temporarily as a step ping-stone to some other line of work.
The institute law has accomplished great good, and no more potent factor can be brought to bear for the practical improvement of the teacher in better plans and methods and for the elevation of the profession.
The plan of securing teachers' libraries for the common good by expending the fine money in the purchase of suit able books is an important part of the law. Many county boards declined to impose fines for non-attendance in 1892, and, therefore, the establishment of libraries is not general. Next year, however, I hope to receive full reports from all the counties that the work is fairly under wayu Once this is done, I have no doubt many public-spirited citizens will be found who will gladly make voluntary contributions of valuable books. It is not entirely visionary to say that the day is not far distant when there will be one hundred and thirty-seven valuable libraries in Georgia, to which every teacher in the State will have free access.

26
Daring this year the institutes have been better attended, better conducted, more popular and more profitable.
As far as possible I consulted the wishes of the County School Commissioners and the teachers in the selection of the time and place for holding the institutes. On account of the increased expense I held but few combined sessions. The largest of these was at Albany in April last, where I summoned the teachers of eleven counties, viz.: Baker, Berrien, Calhoun, Clay, Dooly, Dougherty, Early, Lee, Bando-lph, Terrell and Worth. Here the teachers had the advantages of the Georgia Chautauqua as well as the benefits of instruction from some of the leading educators not oulv of Georgia but of the North and West. Combined ses sions were also held at Thomasville, embracing the counties of Thomas, Colquitt, Brooks and Decatur, and at Marietta with the counties of Cobb and Fulton. These combined sessions have a beneficial effect by bringing the teachers from different counties in contact, and I do not hesitate to call them when it can be done without entailing too much expense upon the teachers.
Reference is made to the institutes for 1892 under the head of each county, as the facts can best be presented in that manner.
SUPERINTENDENCE.
Knowing the great value of efficient supervision of the schools in the machinery of the system, I have done all in my power to increase this efficiency. The County School Commissioner is not simply the Secretary of the Board of Education and its agent to carry out its bidding, but he is also the superintendent of all the schools of his county. Upon him rests the responsibility of guardianship over the children's interests, and the supervision of the teachers' plans and methods. The law says: " He shall visit each school in his county at least once during the school term.

27
or twice if practicable, and oftener if ordered by the board, and without notice to the teachers, for the purpose of in specting its management and the modes of instruction, and of giving such advice and making such suggestions as shall tend to elevate it in character and efficiency." To this provision of the law I have frequently called attention, and insisted upon a faithful compliance with its require ments.
I am glad to say that there is great improvement on this line; but I must also add that there is room for more. The standard of qualifications for this arm of the service--in cluding membership on the board--has been raised, as far as the law would permit. Attention is called to the lame ness of the law in this particular, and a remedy suggested, in my recommendations in a subsequent part of this report.
The cost of this superintendence for 1892 was $45,100.61, or an average `of $339.09 to the county--about four per cent, of the fund--about seven cents to each child in the State of school age. It takes about seven per cent, of the amount raised by taxation to collect the taxes, but only about four per cent, of the school fund to operate the whole machinery of the Common School System.
NO DIVISION OF THE FUND BETWEEN THE RACES.
This department is frequently in receipt of communica tions from abroad, asking how much of the school fund is set apart for the negroes. There is no separation of the fund; it is a common school fund. The separation is in the schools, for the constitution plainly declares that separate schools shall be provided for the white and colored races.. The General Assembly, in accordance with the constitution,, has emphatically said that the same facilities shall be pro vided for both races in respect to attainments and abilities of teachers and length of term time, but the children of the white and colored races shall not be taught together in any

28
common or public school of this State. The fund is not divided, bht apportioned upon the basis of the entire school population, white and colored. The board employs teach ers, white and colored, contracts with them in writing and pays them according to the average-attendance plan or the salary plan. The color line is drawn in the schools, but not in the fund. The fact that the whites pay taxes on f436,000,000, and the negroes on $15,000,000, has not brought about any division of the fund.
THE CENSUS.
In the early part of this year I was duly authorized by the State Board of Education to have an enumeration of the school population made. The necessity of a new census was apparent. The school fund is apportioned to the dif ferent counties on the basis of the'school population. In five years very material changes had taken place, render ing the old census an unjust basis upon which to make the division of the money. Statistics were needed to show whether we were making that degree of progress demanded by the growth of the system. In the instructions which the law makes it my duty to issue to the subordinate school officers, I took every precaution that would insure accu racy, economy and completeness as to details, both in city and country. I required all the statistics that the law would allow to be collected. The result is that we now know the name of every child, white and black, in the State; the county, militia district, city and ward, in which he lives; the race, age and sex; whether he can read and write or not; if he is blind, deaf and dumb, or idiotic; whether he has attended a public or private school or never entered a school of any kind.
The value of this information in its bearing upon the educational progress of the State is of prime importance.

29
It demonstrates the fact that we are making progress-- sure, steady, gratifying progress.
It proves that Georgia cannot be classed among the most illiterate States in the Union.
It clearly shows that the Common School System is reaching the masses.
It will develop a feeling of State pride and county pride among all the school officials.
It will, by the results attained, kindle increased interest and confidence among the people in the Common School System.
It cost the school fund $21,000--about three and a half cents to each child of school age in the State.
It will also serve as an index to point the school officials to those places where greater efforts are needed.
It will be the basis upon which the school fund is to be distributed for the next five years.
The school population in 1888 was: White 292,624; colored, 267,657; total, 560,281.
In 1893, the school population is : White, 315,040 ; col ored, 289,931; total, 604,971. It will be seen that the proportion between the races has not materially altered, being in round numbers 53 to 47.
The total gain in school population is 44,690--about 8 per cent.
There is an impressive lesson to be derived from a con trast of the rural and urban population, as shown in the following tables:
in 1893.
Rural--White, 256,148; colored, 235,786; total 491,934. Urban--White, 58,892; colored, 54,145; total 113,037. "
in 1888.
Rural--White, 244,513; colored, 221,584; total, 466,097. Urban--White, 48,111; colored, 46,073; total, 94,184,

30
A study of these figures will show that the percentage of increase in the country population is 5, and in the city population 20. In other words the city population is in creasing four times as fast as the country. The white pop ulation in the country has increased only 5 per cent., but in the city 22. The colored population has increased 6 per cent, in the country and 17 in the city. The total increase for the State is within a small fraction of 8 per cent.--the increase in the whites being 7.6 and in the negroes, 8.3. Our rural population in 1888 was 83 per cent., and urban 17 ; in 1893, it is respectively 81.3 and 18.7. The colored population has increased 6 per cent, in the country and 17 per cent, in the city. The difference between the white and colored urban population in 1888 was in numbers 2,038; now that difference is 4,747.
A study of these tables brings to light the fact that the towns are building up more rapidly than the country. Building up the towns at the expense of the country is not indicative of real, substantial progress. One prime cause assigned as a reason for this "moving to town" by the heads of families is to secure better educational advantages for the children.
What is the duty of the educational authorities and of the General Assembly with these facts before them ?
The argument needs no elucidation.
ILLITEKAOY.
In my opinion, one of the most important features of the late census was the collection of statistics relative to illit eracy. While this work has never been done before, and there is therfore no basis of comparison, still the facts will demonstrate that Georgia has risen very rapidly from the low position she has occupied, and the time is not far dis tant when there will be no illiteracy. This gratifying fact is directly traceable to the common school system.

31

Great care was taken by the enumerators to make this branch of statistical information accurate and reliable. Under my instructions, the period between ten and eightteen years was selected, and, as is universally the case, ina bility to read and write constituted illiteracy. Of course many are classed as illiterate who can read but who cannot as yet sign their names. Here are the figures:

Colored illiteracy (males) in the city . _ ____ 17 percent. Colored illiteracy (females) in the city. . _ ._15 per cent.
Some reflections drawn from a study of these tables will prove interesting:
There are more boys than girls in the State, in both races, the preponderance being 8,217 in favor of the boys.
It is also true that there are more boys than girls in the country.
The reverse is true in the city ; there the girls outnum ber the boys.
There are fewer girls, in proportion, unable to read and write than boys in both city and country.
Georgia is blessed in having such a small number of children who are afflicted with infirmities which render them in a great measure helpless. To ascertain these facts was a matter of sufficient importance for a separate depart ment of the census, in order that the State through her great charitable institutions might care for these unfortu nates. The following is given for information :
Blind--white .............. 123 Colored . . .142 Total... . 265 Deaf and dumb--white... .192 Colored ... .175 Total.... 367 Idiots................................................................................................. 586

33
The Common School System has reached the masses. Here's the proof: Out of the 604,971 children between six and eighteen years of age, 25,531, or 4 per cent., have never attended a public school. Again, only 19,701, or 3 per cent., have never attended any school, either public or private. The number attending private schools, which re ceive no aid from the State is only 5,830, less than 1 per cent, of the school population.
With 97 per cent, of the school population, either past or present, beneficiaries of the common school system, it is not a vain boast to say : " Popular education in Georgia is becoming popular."
In some of the cities where permanent schools have long been established a remarkable showing can be made. Sa vannah heads the list with a record which will compare favorably with any city in America. Only one white child out of four hundred is unable to read and write. Includ ing the colored race, the illiteracy in Savannah is only four per cent. Atlanta comes next with only one per cent, white illiteracy, and a general illiteracy of only five per cent. Americus, Rome, Valdosta, Cedartown, Marietta, Waycross, Macon, Columbus, Dalton and many others make a good record in this particular.
THE DISTRIBUTION OF THE INCREASE IN POPULATION.
As before stated, the increase in school population is within a small fraction of eight per cent., or in exact fig ures, 44,690. There are forty-one counties in the State which show a decrease in population, from eighteen per cent, down to one per cent.; the other ninety-six counties show an increase ranging from two per cent, up to sixtyone. This increase is mainly in the counties of the Wiregrass, and the decrease, in the middle section of the State or what is known as the Cotton Belt, and especially those
3s&c

counties that are near the large towns. There is. not a town of any size in the State which shows a decrease. In brief, South Georgia has gained largely in population ; Middle Georgia has decreased, and North Georgia has held its own.
Wilcox makes the record of the largest increase of any county in the State--61 per cent., while Colquitt at 60, Berrien at 59, Tattnall at 46, Laurens at 42, Dooly, Coffee and Montgomery, each at 40, are not far behind.
Of the cities Americus shows the greatest percentage of increase, being 47. Griffin comes next at 27, and then Atlanta at 23.
The school population is a fair index of the general pop ulation, and the tables of statistics of the school census will present many points of interest in regard to the material, as well as educational, progress of the State.

Taking the census of 1888, which was the basis for that year, there was 75 per cent, of the children who entered school, and 44 per cent, who remained in school the full term of one hundred days. Of the entire population of the State, 1,837,353, 22.62 per cent, were in school.
This is above*the average, for the report of the United States is as follows:

37
Kansas stands at the head of the list in having 27.98 per cent, of her entire population in school. Georgia is not far below.
When it is taken into consideration that in the majority of the States compulsory education is the rule, the showing made by Georgia is the more gratifying. Besides, in many of the States, the school age extends to twenty-one, while with us it ends at eighteen.
There is no necessity for compulsory education in Georgia.

THE EXPENSES OF THE SYSTEM IN 1892.

There are 800 officials connected with the common school system, but of this number only 135 receive any money, as follows:

THE NORMAL SCHOOL.

The common school system of Georgia will never be complete until ample facilities are afforded by the State for supplying efficient teachers for the schools. Teachers' in stitutes do not supply teachers; they are intended to im prove and build up those already engaged in the work. Normal schools are necessary to furnish the teachers of the future. Georgia is the only State without a normal school.
The argument stings our State pride. I refer to the re port of the commission on the normal school, which is in corporated in this report, for full details of the normal school held this summer at Rock College, Athens,

THE TRUE POLICY.
The policy to which the State has steadily adhered is, in strict accord with the spirit of the law, to give every child in Georgia the chance to go to school to a worthy and competent teacher, upon the merits of the public school fund only, if he was unable or unwilling to supplement that fund. The kind of education which the child receives depends in a great degree upon the teacher, and, therefore, the State insists upon commissioning only moral, industri ous, sober, truthful and intelligent teachers. The State's province and duty is to give every opportunity to the children to become good, useful and upright citizens by furnishing them with an education that will be helpful instead of hurtful, fitting, instead of unfitting, them for their work in life, elevating instead of debasing; and an education that does otherwise is not the kind of education that the State is trying to impart to the children.
In government, the policy of the State is to encourage and to foster kindly relation with the subordinate officials of the system, so that there will be a judicious combination of general and local authority in all matters of detail in the management of the system.

41
STATEMENT OF PLANS FOR THE MANAGEMENT, EXTENSION
AND IMPROVEMENT OF THE COMMON SCHOOLS.
I am required to present, as a part of my report to the General Assembly, a statement of plans for the manage ment, extension and improvement of the common schools.
The machinery for the management of the system, al though not faultless, is admirably arranged upon the same plan as the civil government. In matters of general appli cation the central authority controls, while ample power is given to the local authorities in local affairs. At the same time a supervisory care is exercised by the State to see that her general instructions are carried out and that the money she appropriates'is properly expended. Anything that in terferes with the proper adjustment of this machinery will produce friction and the disturbing cause should be at once removed. The extension of the system is the result of growth. To keep this growth steady and progressive all excrescences should be lopped off and the proper.nourish ment supplied with a liberal hand. Then, with the moral support and encouragement of the people, who in their sovereign power made the common school system, the active interest of the officials who administer it, the devotion of the teachers who are its servants and the eager desire to learn of the children who are its beneficiaries, the improve ment will be such as to excite our wonder and admiration.
Under this head I respectfully call the attention of the General Assembly to the following recommendations:
QUARTERLY PAYMENTS TO THE TEACHERS.
I regard this as the most important change needed in our school lawfs, and there is no other measure which wmuld further increase the efficiency of the system and rally to its support the ten thousand teachers of the State, who now wait many weary months for their pay, meagre as it is.

42
Many of them are compelled to resort to the money lenders and trade off their claims at a ruinous discount, virtually paying from ten to twenty per cent, for the privilege of teaching school. The people who pay the taxes are willing for this change, the teachers who do the work are clamor ing for it, and the Governor of the State has recommended and insisted upon it, on the stump and the platform and in his messages. The teachers are not objects of charity, but they are commissioned officers of the State. For the honor of the State, the justice of the cavise and the good of the schools, I recommend such changes in the law as will authorize quarterly payments to the teachers.
ALL MONEY FOR SCHOOLS SHOULD BE PAID INTO THE
STATE TREASURY.
A change in the present law which must precede quar terly payments, is that all money for educational purposes, specific taxes, direct taxes, half rental of the State road and poll tax, be paid into the State Treasury, and there kept apart as the school fund. The teachers cannot be paid quarterly unless the money is in the Treasury with which to make the payment. Therefore the first step is to put the money into the Treasury as fast as it is collected. The apportionment for each county or local system should be drawn out by the State School Commissioner under war rant from the Governor and paid over to the County School Commissioner on the last day of each quarter of the yearThis would bring about an entire change in the plan of disbursing the school fund, but the new plan, aside from its absolute necessity for quarterly payments, would be more in accordance with the constitution and the laws enacted under its authority. The constitution in explicit terms sets apart and devotes for the support of common schools the poll tax, liquor tax and show tax. The act of 1887, comprising the common school laws, in addition to the

43
foregoing, mentions the other sources of revenue as well as the money raised by taxation; and all these sums are set apart as the common school fund and the officer authorized by law to receive such fund must keep it separate and dis tinct from other funds. And yet, the same act authorizes the use of this money for other purposes and its replace ment out of the taxes collected in the latter part of the year. One section of the law sets apart in the Treasury the entire school fund, and another section forbids its being paid into the Treasury. While the teacher is in the school room, the farmer plants the seed which is to spring up, bud and bloom and fruit and be sold to pay his taxes which are collected by the tax-gatherer and turned over to the County School Commissioner, and the teacher gets his pittance six, eight, ten or fifteen months after his work is done. Again, the taxes would be collected more promptly and settle ments made much earlier.
THE POLL TAX.
The policy of paying the poll tax of each county over to the County School Commioner of that county is, in my judgment, wrong in principle and ruinous in its results. The poll tax is a State tax and not a county tax, and is therefore a part of the State School Fund. I cannot there fore see the propriety or the utility in making the poll tax a county fund. Apart from the poll tax, with the excep tion of a certain class of fines which occasionally make their way into the school fund of the county, there is no county fund in 133 out of the 137 counties of the State.
Under the law as it is at present, the poll tax is not ap portioned, as it is not a part of the State fund. The result is that the Department of Education cannot be held directly responsible for it, and settlements of the poll tax are never effected until late in the following spring.

44
Better collections and prompter settlements could most certainly be made if the entire control of the collection of the poll tax was entrusted to the tax department of the government with instructions to turn the money, as fast as collected, into the school fund in the Treasury. In 1892 the schools received but $209,391.62 from poll tax, and it should be remembered that there are at least 400,000 voters in the State with 285,000 polls returned. Most certainly a change which would insure larger collections and quicker returns is.desirable.
THE SALARY PLAN.
Power is given to the County Boards of Education to employ teachers, and two plans, the pi'o rata plan, upon average attendance, and the salary plan are adopted. The ruling of this department is that the boards can adopt either or both of the above plans without any dictation from the central authority. In my judgment, it would produce a great amount of work and endless confusion to pay the teachers quarterly upon the average-attendance plan. Prompt pay of the teachers is of paramount importance, and I therefore recommend that boards be required to employ all teachers at a salary.
IMPROVEMENT IN SUPERVISION.
No one can question the importance of intelligent super vision of the schools. This part of the machinery of the system needs improvement. There are now five members of the County Board of Education: three would be much better. They now receive as compensation ex emption from road, jury and militia duty; they ought in addition, to receive a reasonable per diem for actual service. No qualifications are required of members, but they are se lected by the grand jury, appointed by the judge of the su perior court and commissioned by the Governor. No man

45
ought to be eligible to membership on the board who is not able to obtain a first grade certificate, and no teacher actually engaged in teaching should be allowed to become a member of the board.
COUNTY LINE SCHOOLS.
The interests of the children are paramount to all other interests in the system, and they should be allowed to at tend school wherever it is most convenient. If it is most convenient to attend school across the county line^ the board should have no power to prohibit; and the salary of the teacher could be arranged jointly by the two boards.
ENFORCING THE LAW.
While the rights of the local authorities should be re spected, yet the head of the system should have full power to enforce his instructions made in pursuance of law.
teachers' institutes.
This is the second year of the Teachers' County Insti tutes, and experience proves that they are worthy of in dorsement and commendation. This department is in re ceipt of numerous resolutions passed at the institutes, the large majority of which speak favorably of the policy and urge the continuance and enlargement of the law. I sug gest the following amendments, which, in my opinion, will add to the efficiency and usefulness of the institutes :
1. The Saturday institutes should be abolished. The at tendance upon these monthly meetings imposes greater hardships upon the teachers than the results justify, espe cially in the larger counties. Voluntary associations of the teachers could be adopted in lieu of the monthly insti tutes.
2. There should be two experts employed, and the money devoted to this purpose increased to fifty dollars.

46
3. No persons who are not graduates of a normal school, or who*cannot pass satisfactorily an expert examination, should be eligible to appointment by the board. Authority ought to be given to the State School Commissioner to pre pare this examination.
4. The law should be no respecter of persons, and the burdens of attending the institutes should fall equally upon all. Without any desire to encroach upon the rights of the local systems, I would recommend that the law be ex tended so as to embrace all teachers of the local systems, up to and including the teachers of the grammar schools, under the joint supervision of the superintendent or super intendents and county school commissioner.
5. Under the same idea of bearing the burdens equally, the compensation should be uniform. Let every teacher be contracted with and paid for one hundred days--if the public term be five months--and let him be required to teach ninety-five days and attend the institute five days ; and if he fails to attend, let the fine be imposed and re tained out of his pay. This would make no distinction be tween the teacher who was in vacation and the one who was at work.
6. The institute law should be extended so as to embrace Congressional District Institutes. To organize and equip these institutes would not require an outlay of more than twenty-five dollars to each county, including the four coun ties under local laws, especially if there should be a com bination with the Peabody Institutes. Or, if all the money for school purposes is paid direct into the Treasury, as I have urged, the State School Commissioner could be authorized to draw out an amount not exceeding $3,000 for this purpose. The time and place for holding these nstitutes and the selection of the experts should be left to the discretion of the State School Commissioner after consultation with the County School Commissioners in the

47
Congressional District. I would also suggest that attend ance upon these institutes be made voluntary upon the part of the teachers.
AMENDING THE LAW AS TO LICENSE OF TEACHERS.
As an act of appreciation of the great benefit derived by Georgia from the Peabody Normal College, located at Nashville, Tenn., I would suggest that the graduates of that institution from this State be allowed to teach school without any further examination, and that their diplomas be regarded as permanent licenses. I would recommend the same thing with regard to any normal school estab lished in Georgia under the patronage of the State.
REMOVING THE DEAD LIMBS.
I recommend the repeal of the trustee law, found in sec tion 20 of the school laws, and sections 37 and 38, relating respectively to the establishment of manual labor schools and night schools. These are all dead branches on the tree and should be lopped off.
ARBOR DAY.
As the law now stands this is almost a useless require ment. The day fixed for its celebration--the first Friday in December--comes after almost every country school in the State has closed, and the act does not give authority to fhe State School Commissioner over the local systems. The result has been that very, very few schools observed it. The date should be altered to suit the circumstances and its observance made general, or the law should be repealed.
PENDING LEGISLATION.
The present General Assembly has passed upon the rec ommendations I made in my last report in regard to the

48
erection of school houses, the alteration of the school year, the disposition of the surplus in the counties and some others. I will therefore say nothing further on these points. But I deem it my duty to direct your thoughtful consideration of several measures which were laid on the table at the last session to be brought forward at the pres ent session, viz. : The uniform text-book bill and the bill giving additional help in this office.
THE NORMAT SCHOOL.
No argument is needed to show the urgent necessity ^>f normal schools in Georgia. The question is simply this : Shall the State allow the normal school authorized and cre ated by her own act to die, or shall the splendid property donated to the State be utilized for this purpose, so im portant to the improvement of the Common School System ?
MORE MONEY NEEDED.
For the first time in the history of popular education in Georgia, the State appropriation has gone beyond the mil lion mark. Must it stop here ? Or, still worse, must it drop below that mark? Unless there is additional legisla tion, the fund for next year will be at least $95,000 less than this year, for there is no surplus to go into the fund next year. I earnestly recommend not only that this de ficiency be made up but that the sum of $300,000 be added on. A raise of the tax rate for educational purposes to two mills would realize this sum. Better to economize any where else--everywhere else--than in popular education.
Asking your favorable consideration of these plans--ap plicable at the present time--for the management, exten sion and improvement of the common schools, this report is respectfully submitted.
S. D. Bradwell, State School Commissioner.

The teachers of Hall, since the beginning of this movement, are 100 per cent, better equipped for their work than formerly.

REPORT
OF
Georgia State Normal School
ROCK COLLEGE, ATHENS, GA.
July 5th to August 18th, inclusive.

Athens, Ga., October 7, 1893.
To His Excellency, Wm. J. Northen, Governor of the State of Georgia :
The Georgia State Normal School Commission, ap pointed by your Excellency to control the operation of the Georgia State Normal School, at Athens, Ga., beg leave to submit herewith the report of the president and members of the faculty of the work done in the above named school during the session of 1893. We express the desire that you will order a number of copies of this report published for distribution, and also direct that it be incorporated in the report of the State School Commissioner to the General Assembly of the State of Georgia.
Very respectfully,
S. D. Bradwell, State School Commissioner,
Chairman. Wm. E. Boggs,
Chancellor University,
A. J. Battle, W. H. Baker, Lawton B. Evans.

2 o the Georgia State Normal School Commission:
At the session of the legistature in 1891, an act was passed to "establish, organize and maintain a State Normal School, as a branch to the University, to appropriate money for the same and for other purposes." This act was approved October 21, 1891. It provided for the ac ceptance of the Rock College building and six acres of land contiguous thereto near the city of Athens, Ga., which had been offered the State of Georgia by the trustees of the University for the purpose of establishing a normal school for the training of teachers for service in the common schools of the State. The act also provided for a Normal School Commission, consisting of the State School Commis sioner, the Chancellor of the University, and "three citi zens of Georgia experienced in teaching to be appointed by the Governor."
SESSION OF 1892.
This legislature made no appropriation for the support of the Normal School, and the commission was embarrassed from lack of funds. They resolved, however, to make the best beginning they could, under the circumstances. With the donation by the trustees of the University of the Rock College and six acres of land, was included the "Gilmer Fund" of $15,000, transferred for safe keeping to the trustees of the University by the trustees of the late Gov. George R. Gilmer, for the purpose of training teachers to teach in the elementary , branches of an English education. The interest on this fund amounts to $1,050 a year. The Peabody Institute fund for the year 1892 set aside for

118
Georgia, allowed $800 for an institute to be held in Athens^ In addition to this, five counties agreed to hold their county institutes at Athens for one week during the sum mer of 1892. The commission invited the Peabody Insti tute and the five counties of Clarke, Jackson, Oglethorpe,. Greene and Oconee to unite with the normal college in a* summer session to begin in July and last for six or eight weeks. In this way a fund of $1,925 was raised for the normal school work of 1892.
The city of Athens generously gave, through its citj council, the sum of $500 for the purpose of repairing theRock College building, and purchasing such articles of fur niture as were indispensable to the comfort of the students and the conducting of the school.
Thus equipped the session of 1892 began July 11th, and the first week was devoted to the " county institutes." Thenext three weeks were devoted to a session of the Peabody Institute. The sixth and seventh weeks were devoted to the Normal School proper. There was no differencein the work done during these various sessions. It wasone continuous program lasting seven weeks. The total roll during the county institute week, at which the teachersof five counties were required by law to be present, was two hundred and thirteen students. The roll of sudents for the remainder of the session was one hundred and twelve.. There were thirty-two counties represented.
The nature of the work done during the session of 1892, the enthusiam of the students, the apparent demand for an enlarged and well-equipped normal school, was so urgent that the Normal School Commission appealed to the legis lature of 1892 for an appropriation to remodel, equip and operate the normal school. The legislature, however, took no action on the matter, and the Normal School Commissions was again left with limited means to carry out the provi sions of the act.

119
A meeting of the Normal School Commission was held in Atlanta, April 1, 1893, to take into consideration the work ot the school for the summer of 1893. There were present: State School Commissioner S. D. Bradwell, Chairman; Dr. Wm. E. Boggs, Chancellor of the University; Dr. A. J. Battle, President of Shorter College; Mr. Wm. H. Baker, Superintendent of Schools, Savannah, Ga.; and Mr. L. B. Evans, Superintendent of Schools, Augusta, Ga.
The following is an extract from the minutes of that meeting:
"The chairman made a statement of the efforts that had been made to induce the Legislature to appropriate a sum of money for the permanent establishment of the State Normal School, and stated that the Legislature had failed to make an appropriation for the purpose named. Dr. Wm. E. Boggs then stated that the net interest on the Gil mer fund, amounting to $1,000, would be available on the first day of July. He also said that the people of Athens were desirous of having the Normal School established in their midst during the coming summer, and that the grand jury of Clarke county had at his request made an appropri ation of $400 for the purpose of aiding in that enterprise. The citizens of Athens had also made up a private sub scription of $537 to be added to the fund. These resources added together made a total sum of $1,937, that could be used in operating the Normal School during the summer of 1893.
The following resolution was then passed : Resolved, That the Normal School Commission tender its thanks to the citizens of Athens and to the county of Clarke for their generous appropriations in aid of a pro posed summer session of the Normal School in 1893. Resolved, That a session of the Georgia State Normal School be held in Rock College building beginning July 5th, 1893, and continuing for six weeks.

120
The above resolutions were unanimously carried. The following faculty was then elected and charged with the conduct of the departments of work assigned to them:

Lawton B. Evans, Augusta, Ga...................................President G. G. Bond, Athens, Ga., Assistant, Chair of Theory and Practice
Teaching. Otis Ashmobe, Savannah, Ga..................... Chair of Geography Joseph T. Deeby, Macon, Ga..............................Chair of History E. B. Smith, LaGrange, Ga................................. Chair of English Mbs. G. H. deJabnette, Atlanta, Adjunct in Charge of English L. M. Landbum, Atlanta, and D. C. Babbow, Jb., Athens, Asso-
ates in Chair of Mathematics. Miss Maey A. Bacon, Milledgeville, Ga., Chair of Primary
Numbers.

The President of the college was then authorized to cor

respond with the members of the faculty elected, and with

the approval of the chairman to fill such vacancies as

might occur. He was also directed to print and distribute

circulars of announcement, to contract for one or more res

taurants to be opened in the college building for the ac

commodation of the students, and to secure such other lec

tures and departments of study as in his judgment were

advisable.

In accordance with the above resolutions all the members

of the faculty elected were engaged for the work except

Miss Mary Bacon, who declined on account of her health.

The work in her department was assumed by other mem-

#

bers of the faculty. Circulars were printed and distributed

over the State to each county commissioner and city super

intendent and to as many teachers as could be reached.

ROCK COLLEGE.
The session began at Bock College on Wednesday, July 5th.' A word at this point in regard to the building would

121
not be amiss. Rock College is a large three-story rock structure one mile from the center of the city of Athens, and easily accessible by the electric cars. It stands on an eminence nine hundred feet above sea level and overlooks a sweep of beautiful country. From the front can be seen the mountains of North Georgia, and on the east and south is the beautiful valley of the Oconee. Its elevation and situation make it all that can be desired as a healthy and quiet location for a school. The water from the well has been analyzed by a chemist, who declared it sound and wholesome. It is so cold that no ice is needed. The lower story of the building is divided into lecture rooms, restaurant, hall and an assembly room. The second and third stories are divided into sleeping rooms. These rooms are large and comfortable and well adapted for the conven ience of the students. These rooms were furnished by the appropriation from the city council of Athens in 1892, with wire cots, tables, chairs, buckets, and other necessary arti cles of furniture. During the session of the summer of 1893 as many as seventy-five students lived in these rooms, bringing from their homes such things as were needed for their rooms, such as bedding, towels, toilet articles, etc.
A restaurant was also opened in the college building where board could be had for $3 per week. The fare was plain, but was clean, well cooked, wholesome and nicely served. The majority of the students, including most of the faculty, lived in the college.
A matron was secured who also resided in the college building and exercised a diligent and faithful supervision over the conduct, health and comfort of the teachers. In fact, all the appointments of the college building and grounds, the arrangement of the class rooms and sleeping rooms, the restaurant facilities, the supervision and care of the students were as well done as was possible with the limited means at the command of the President.

122
EXPENSES.
The railroads agreed to charge one full fare going and one-third fare returning, which was four cents per mile for the round trip from any part of the State. There was no tuition charged, and there were no incidental fees. The boarding was only $18 for the six weeks. Other expenses such as laundry, stationery, car fare, etc., were not heavy. The average expense for the time, including railroad fare and all incidentals, did not exceed $30 per pupil. It is safe to say that nowhere in the South were such advan tages of health, recreation and instruction offered at such cheap rates.
DAILY SCHEDULE.
The students were required to rise at six o'clock by a rising bell rung at that hour. At seven breakfast was ready, which was over at seven thirty. At eight the special class in Latin met for half an hour. At eight thirty the school assembled in the Chapel room for prayers, after which the special class in vocal music, led by Mr. G. G. Bond, had a half hour session. At nine o'clock the regular class-room work of the college began in the vari ous rooms, under the care of the regular faculty and con tinued until one thirty. The whole school was then called together in the chapel room for a half hour's practical lec ture on some topic connected with school work. At two dinner was ready. The afternoon was devoted to study, to drawing maps and charts, to copying notes and lectures and in general preparations for the next day's labors.
After an early tea the students generally assembled on the lawns or balconies in pleasant groups, giving themselves up to recreation and conversation. The evenings were de

123
voted to concerts, lectures and entertainments of varied kinds the nature of which will be discussed in another part of this report. At ten o'clock the bell was sounded for re tiring and the students went to their rooms and by half past ten the lights were out in the building. This daily schedule allowed a large portion of the time to the class room work, and yet the studies of each of the students were so arranged as not to require too much confinement or effort on the part of any one. A due regard was had for the necessity of rest and recreation of the teachers who had been at work in the schoolrooms of the State just before coming to the college.
ENROLLMENT.
There were enrolled in the college one hundred and six teen students from the following thirty-five counties:
Banks, Bibb, Camden, Chatham, Clarke, Columbia, Coweta, Dawson, DeKalb, Dodge, Dooly, Douglas, Dough erty, Elbert, Fayette, Floyd, Fulton, Greene, Gwinnett, Habersham, Hancock, Jackson, Lowndes, Montgomery, Muscogee, Oglethorpe, Pike, Pulaski, Quitman, Randolph, Rockdale, Richmond, Talbot, Taliaferro and Terrell.
These pupils were not all present at the same time, some came for a week, others for two weeks, others for a month, while many remained during the entire session. The aver age enrollment in the college was seventy-five, and the average daily attendance wras sixty.
INSTRUCTION.
The instruction given to the students was strictly of a normal character. The students were required to prepare for the recitations, by investigation and study, to take notes and copy them, to recite wfhen called upon, to go to the-

124
blackboard and demonstrate a method of teaching, to draw charts and diagrams and in every way an effort was made to have the students do as much of the work as possible. For a more detailed account of the work of each depart ment I refer you to the statements of the teachers which are appended to this report. I bear cheerful testimony to the faithfulness and efficiency of each teacher to the work assigned him. The entire faculty was co-operative, considerate, capable and diligent to accomplish the best results in the time allowed.
In addition to the regular departments directed by the commission there was organized a class in kindergarten work, under the direction of Miss W. A. Allen of Douglasville. This imporant department of education of small children is coming more into popular favor every year and a large class of twenty-five young ladies entered enthusias tically into the study of the work. The interesting depart ment of elocution and physical exercise was organized un der the direction of Miss Jessie Goodall of Macon. The department of school music, which consisted of reading by note and singing simple songs was conducted by Mr. Bond and Mr. Landrum and was a valuable feature of each day's program.
I desire to especially commend the zeal with which the students made copies of the charts to aid in the teaching of geography, history and reading. For a small sum of money the necessary materials were purchased, and with the assist ance of members of the faculty many of the students made valuable charts, maps, diagrams, etc., for the walls of their schoolrooms that not only will aid them in the teaching of the subject, but will save them the expense of buying charts more costly, but not more valuable. Nearly every student carried back to his home a roll of these charts with full directions for their use, that will carry the benefit of the work at Rock College last summer into over thirty-

125
five counties of this State, into over one hundred school rooms and into the presence of over three thousand chil dren.
LECTUKE COURSE.
In addition to the regular class-room, there was organ ized a series of lectures for the benefit of the students and the citizens of Athens. Dr. Wm. E. Boggs contributed a valuable course of afternoon lectures on Moral Philosophy. The evening lectures were delivered on two evenings of each week, Tuesday and Friday. To these the citizens gave a generous and regular attendance. The lectures and entertainments were as follows :
1. "Good and Bad English "..................................... Lawton B. Evans. 2. Musical concert, with a lecture on "Ants".....................A. L. Hull. 3. "Views of England and Scotland"............................. Jos. T. Derry. 4. Anillustrated lecture on "Astronomy".....................Otis Ashmore. 5. "How to get a hold on Children"...........................David C. Barrow. 6. "The Confederate Soldier"..................................... Joseph T. Derry. 7. "Words"..........................................................................C. P. Wilcox. 8. "Trifles"...................................................................... Euler B. Smith. 9. "The Yellowstone Park"........................................... C. M. Strahan. 10. "Nature's Workshop"......................................... Dr. I. S. Hopkins. 11. Views of the World's Fair by Joseph T. Derry, lec
ture by........................................................................... E. B. Smith. 12. "The Magnitude of Little Things".................... Dr. H. C. White. 13. "Education an Essential Factor in Good Govern
ment"..........................................................................H. H. Carlton. 14. "Scenes from the Bible"....................................... Joseph T. Derry.
These evening lectures contributed much to that social intercourse and friendly feeling that made the school at Rock College so pleasant to all who attended. There was a freedom from formality, and a cordiality and sympathy that gave a joy and a zest to the work that nothing else could have done. It was a great benefit to live for six weeks in the congenial companionship of enthusiastic teachers.

126
The following resolutions were passed by the students ot the college on the day of adjournment:
1. utResolved, That our thanks are hereby extended to the good people of Athens for the generous contribution from their private purses for supplementing the fund designed for the support of the Normal School during this year's session 1 also for their many acts of hospitality and words of encour agement and commendation for this worthy institution.
2. Resolved, That our thanks are hereby extended to the county of Clarke, which, through its grand jury, also do nated a sum of money to increase the fund for the support of the Normal School.
3. Resolved, That we have been greatly benefited by the earnest, faithful and efficient instruction given by the members of the faculty. They have labored unceasingly to render more intelligible and practicable the modern meth ods of imparting knowledge to children, and to make onr stay at Rock College a season of delightful recreation as well as one of profitable instruction.
4. Resolved, That our thanks are due to Chancellor Wm. E. Boggs, of the State University, for his unfailing interest in the welfare of the Normal School, and also for his able course of lectures on " Moral Philosophy." We also ex tend our thanks to those citizens of Athens who have con tributed to our instruction and entertainment by lecturing at Rock College, and also to those who have assisted in the concert exercises.
5. Resolved, That we appreciate and commend the inter est and zeal manifested by the State School Commissioner in the course of normal instruction in Georgia, and we ex tend to him our sincere hopes that his efforts will result iu the establishment of a normal school for the training of teachers of both sexes, and that this school be in operation during the entire scholastic year.

127
6. Resolved, That our thanks are extended to the Athens Street Railway Company for the courtesy of their accom modations and complimentary pleasure trips over their lines; also to the local press for the notices and commen dations kindly given the college from time to time; also to Messrs. Haseltou & Dozier for the use of a piano that has contributed much to the pleasure of the season.
7. Resolved, That we, the students, one hundred and nine teen in number, do earnestly petition the legislature of Georgia to grant an appropriation of .sufficient amount to remodel and equip the Rock College building, and to em ploy a competent faculty, who shall devote all their time and energies to the upbuilding of a great normal school for both sexes that shall be the strength as well as pride of the common school system of Georgia.
SUGGESTIONS.
1. It was very evident to those in charge of the work at Rock College that but few of the teachers in our schools knew anything about the methods of teaching. In many cases the education of the teacher was limited, their knowl edge of the principles of imparting instruction was very defective and as a result the work done in the school rooms was desultory and unsatisfactory. It became apparent that there was a great need for some institution to train the young men and'young women who are already in the school rooms of the State, as well as those who will enter them in the future. A training school for teachers is the necessary and almost indispensable accompaniment to every com mon school system. This school should be limited to nor mal work of teaching, should be open to both men and women, should give them a training in the theory and prac tice of teaching at the same time that it gave them an edu cation. The State of Georgia stands in urgent need of a

128
strictly normal school for training teachers. The normal work that is done in other institutions, as a department only, however valuable it may be, can never be otherwise than department work and cannot fill the demand felt by the State in this matter.
2. A training school for teachers cannot be expected to train every teacher that goes to work in the schools of the State. It can, however, send out from fifty to sixty every year, who will go into the various sections of Georgia and become themselves itrainers of others, and by example and precept awaken the dormant idea that there are scientific principles and practices in this profession.
3. That it would be received with favor by the teachers of the State is evident from the way in which the summer sessions of 1892 and 1893 have been received. The enthu siastic way in which the work has been done, the avidity with which instruction has been received, the earnestness and industry of the students show very plainly that the teachers of the State, those now in the profession and those soon to enter it, would hail with feelings of gladness the permanent establishment of a Normal College.
4. In view of all these indications and necessities, the legislature of the State of Georgia should be fully informed on the subject of normal training and they should be urged to make an ample appropriation to remodel the building known as "Rock College" and equip it with heating, light ing and water facilities, with a laboratory and a library; with desks and school furniture; also to provide for a per manent faculty of six or eight trained 'teachers who shall devote themselves exclusively to this work, and who shall inaugurate a course of study for two or three years for eight or nine months in the year, with model or practice schools where actual training may be done. The graduates of this institution would not only have an education, but would also have a paying profession, and situations would be ready

129
for them when they had gained their diplomas. That Georgia may take this step and place herself by the side of her sister States in the matter ot educational progress was the expressed hope of all those who were connected with the college during the summer session of 1893.
Yours very truly, Lawton B. Evans,
President Ga. State College for 1893.

REPOET OF G. G. BOND.
DEPARTMENT OF PSYCHOLOGY. (Later, Department of Primary Numbers.)
In my work in Psychology last summer I followed pretty closely Allen's Mind Studies for Young Teachers through the chapter on Diseases of the Will. I taught by topics, requiring the students to take notes. I tested on the topics just as one would test on a lesson in a text-book. The students used no text-book except their topics.
Reference books used: Van Wie's Development Helps, Hewett's Psychology, Compayre's Elements of Psychology, Sully's Psychology, White's Elements of Pedagogy, De Garmo's Linder's Psychology. This last book was very helpful in enabling me to represent graphically many points that would otherwise have been very difficult to explain.
PRIMARY NUMBERS.
In Grube Numbers I began my work] when beginners would take up the subject, the first day of school. Then by use of pictures and objects we covered the ground through the No. 5. Meanwhile the children had learned to make figures. Omitting 6 and 7 I gave them a thorough treatment of the No. 8, teaching all of the problems under the usual five characteristic heads.
The students were drilled in four separate forms of story

9
132!

work as a class drill, and shown five forms of busy or seat

work under each one of these heads. I should like to go

into detail illustrating this subject, but I know that space

forbids. Hoping that this will be satisfactory,

I am, respectfully,

G. G. Bond.

REPORT OF JOSEPH T. DERRY.
DEPARTMENT OF HISTORY.
I desire to submit to you my report of the work done in the School of History of the Georgia Normal School held at Rock College during the months of July and August of the present year.
I was requested to teach the history of the United States, giving special attention to Georgia history. This I did, illustrating by maps drawn for the purpose the progress of our country from the earliest discoverer and settlements to the present time, and showing the boundaries of the States and Territories at different periods of our history. Several members of the class made copies of these maps for use in their schools.
My class in history consisted of forty-four students. Be sides attending to the duties of the school of history, I prepared for and gave the following stereopticon entertain ment free to the faculty and pupils of Rock College and to the citizens of Athens:
1. Views of England and Scotland. Loaned by Dr. Bass of Wesleyan Female College. Explanatory lecture by my self.
2. Astronomical Views. Owned and furnished by Pro fessor Ashmore, who gave the lecture on the occasion.

134
3. Views Illustrating the War between the States. Lec ture on the'Confederate soldier by myself.
4. Views Illustrating the Columbian Exposition at Chicago. Purchased by myself for the occasion. Lecture by Profes sor Euler B. Smith, of LaGrange.
5. Scenes from the Life of Christ. Loaned by Dr. W. C. Bass of Wesleyan Female College. Explanation by my self. '
Some of the teachers in attendance desiring to review their Latin, and also to study Latin prosody, I formed a Latin class, which I met every morning before the opening exercises of the Normal School. The lessons given were free of charge. There were seven students in this class.
I also had one pupil in French. It was my aim to not .only keep up the school of history, but also to give the teachers the advantage of a department of language, and to do all in my power to assist you and the other members of the faculty in making the Georgia Normal School a complete success. Bespectfully,
Joseph T. Derry.

REPORT OF EULER B. SMITH.
DEPARTMENT OP ENGLISH.
The work of the session was devoted mainly to the study of English grammar, as being a mostimportant branch of the linguistic science. Since English grammar is too much neglected and often improperly taught, it was deemed ad visable to devote considerable time to a subject of such practical value. Throughout the course instruction was given in methods as well as in matter.
Beginning with the sentence as a unit, lessons were had in analysis, synthesis and diagramming, showing the office and relation of each element and part of speech. Then simple, complex and compound sentences were compared and discriminated.
Later, taking the word as a unit, the definition and clas sification, modifications and constructions of the eight parts of speech were studied. Stress was laid on the fact that pupils should understand rather than memorize definitions and principles.
Instruction was given in parsing, the more difficult con structions of syntax were presented, participles and infini tives were carefully studied, and important subjects in tech nical grammar were discussed and explained. On the

136

principal topics outlines were given, which were copied by

the students.

Exercises and drills were had in orthography and or

thoepy, in the latter subject including a study of the organs

of speech, articulate sounds and diacritical marks.

Respectfully,

B. Euler

Smith.

REPORT OF MRS. DE JARNETTE.
DEPARTMENT OF ENGLISH.
My work at Rock College during July was as follows : 1. A preliminary essay on the comparative merits of the synthetic and analytic methods of teaching English grammar. 2. Presentation of the best and latest normal methods of teaching the parts of speech according to synthetic methods. 3. Analysis of simple sentences. 4. Properties of the parts of speech, excepting the verb. I used the synthetic method in all my instruction through preference. I gave primary methods of teaching technical grammar rather than advanced syntax at the expressed wish of the class. It was with much regret that I was compelled to leave a portion of my work unfinished and also to interrupt what had become a source of pleasure and improvement to myself, although an experienced teacher. I hope the evidence which this summer has furnished> will be conclusive to the legislature. There is but one in ference to be drawn, that the teachers of the State are almost begging for normal instruction. Respectfully,
G. H. de Jaenette.

REPORT OF L. M. LANDRUM.
DEPARTMENT OF ARITHMETIC.
The work in this department was conducted with a view not of giving instruction merely, but of presenting the subject of arithmetic as a science that may be taught as such. The inductive method was used throughout.
The Grube method of teaching numbers to ten was in cluded in "Primary Methods" taught by Superintendent Bond.
In the primary work in numbers the object sought was to develop in the pupils the idea of number, the ability to perform and skill in performing the four fundamental oper ations accurately and rapidly, and to secure neatness and facility in written work. Results, not reasons, were in sisted on here. More time should be spent on addition. Unless this is mastered no subsequent work can be per formed satisfactorily.
In all these operations pupils should be required to make problems and solve problems until they can see at once the operation needed in a stated problem.
The relation of common fractions to division was empha sized by showing that common fractions involved no prin ciple not found in division. When the principles of divi sion are properly taught, common fractions become com paratively easy.
i

139

A great deal of mental work in arithmetic on all subjects

was recommended and practiced in the classes.

Decimal fractions received special attention. Decimal

notation and numeration and division of decimals were

dwelt on at length.

Compound Quantities were dealt with in a practical way

by solving problems involving special features of weights

and measures, longitude and time, etc.

The subject of percentage received its share of attention

in a general way, and then its application to special subjects

was brought out by problems both mental and written

Methods of calculation of interest were discussed at length.

Classes were required to write notes of various kinds and

checks, and transfer them in various ways according to

legal forms.

Discussions upon these forms were productive of much

interest and profit.

Respectfully,

REPORT OF DAYID C. BARROW, Jk.
DEPARTMENT OP ALGEBRA.
Ground Covered.--The course included notation, addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, factoring, fractions, with hints on evolution and treatment of evolution by fac toring.
Mechanism Employed.--A printed synopsis was used with separate sheets for each day's work outlining the ground to be covered. This synopsis embraced the essential princi ples of treatment as exhibited by high school algebra, ar ranged in such a manner as to present the subject most clearly and concisely. The class had access to quite a number of school algebras so that any one who wished to do so could compare them.
Intention of the Instructor.--Except, perhaps, in one lec ture on treatment of equations by the principles of factor ing, and an illustration of inductive teaching applied to algebra, no attempt was made to do more than impress on the class by precept and example, that lucid forms of pre sentation, and thoroughness of demonstration were not only consistent with each other, but were both essential to cor rect instruction of algebra.

141

A SOLUTION.

Illustration from Classroom.--The solution of an alge braic or arithmetical problem consists of two parts:
1. The accurate use of the notation. 2. An explanation of the process. An explanation of the process shall include: () A clear definition of what is to be done. () The rule stating precisely how it is to be done. (c) An argument proving that the how of the rule ac-complishes the what of the definition.

Results.--From the attention paid by the class to what

was said, from a written review which they gave on a part

of the work, and from statements made by quite a number

of the class, I was led to hope that they had profited by the

instruction.

Respectfully,

David C. Babrow, Je.

REPORT OF OTIS ASHMORE.
SCHOOL OF GEOGRAPHY AND KINDRED SUBJECTS.
In this department three points were kept steadily in view, viz.:
1. The psychological relation between the subject-matter taught and the order of the child's mental development.
2. The best methods of presenting the subject to the pupil.
3. Explanation of difficult points in the subject-matter itself, and incidentally the best methods of teaching them.
More attention was given to methods than subject matter.
The relation of the earth to the heavenly bodies was ex plained, and its cosmical history briefly discussed.
Much time was spent upon the best methods of teaching primary geography, and special stress was laid upon the vizualization of the subject by vivid pictorial illustrations appealing strongly to the eye. How to teach the points of tihe compass, the best methods ojf teaching the land and water divisions, the use and value of outline maps, and many other related topics were fully illustrated and dis cussed.

143
The subject of map drawing received due attention, and many excellent maps were made by the students. The full details of the work, including shading, coloring, enlarging, etc., were explained and abundantly practiced by the class.
Valuable aids and how to use them, formed an interest ing topic. Sand modelling, relief maps, globes, outline maps, pictures, books of travel, and many other devices for forming and fixing correct ideas were practically taught and explained.
Much attention was given to geographical relief, and this was practically illustrated by relief maps, by building up the land divisions in sand on a sand table, and by a large relief map of Georgia constructed in the yard showing the mountains, valleys, rivers, cities, etc., of our State in a manner which must be of much educational value to the child.
Among the other topics discussed were mathematical geography, climate and its modifying causes, winds, storms, cyclones, the tides, ocean currents, their causes and uses, coral formations, volcanic phenomena, earthquakes, distri bution of animal life, occupation of the people in the differ ent countries, products and commerce, and many others.
The political and geographical history of our own State was particularly considered, including the complete or ganization of our State government, together with many valuable statistics in relation to its size, products, popula tion, number of school children, illiteracy, etc. One of the most valuable features of this department was the con struction by the students of a number of manilla paper charts, 40 by 48 inches, containing in colored crayon the illustrations and analyses of the lectures used before the class. This new line of illustration alone, suggestive and reproductive in its aim, it is believed, will be of much value to the teachers in their professional work.

144
The great earnestness and interest manifested by the 'teachers in this work was most gratifying, and evinced their appreciation of the advantages offered them. "
Very respectfully,
Otis Ashmore.

REPORT OF MISS JESSIE GOODALL.
DEPARTMENT OF ELOCUTION.
The work done in elocution, which embraces deep breathing, voice and physical culture, was necessarily, in so short a time, abridged and imperfect. A study requir ing years in which to reach perfection can only in a few weeks produce such results as instill into the heart of the earnest, enthusiastic student, a love for the true and beau tiful in literature and life.
Teachers are willing pupils, and the class this summer, while small, was interesting, in that an intense desire was manifested to know and practice exercises for the harmoni ous development of the entire physique, and to render the body a fit expression for the sentiments of the soul.
To develop beauty, power and flexibility of voice, exer cises in articulation, enunciation and expression were given, while for the development of bodily ease and grace, Delsarte exercises were applied, in theory and practice to the ordinary duties of everyday life, to standing, walking, sitting, rising, breathing, going up or down-stairs, etc., thus teaching a saving of vital energy.
In physical exercises suitable for class room work for
lOssc

146

their pupils, the teachers were drilled, and some lessons

given in expressive reading.

The intellect of the students, stimulated to keen percep

tion and desire during a six weeks' course of study, formed

in elocution a means for artistic and intellectual develop

ment.

Respectfully,

Jessie Goodall.

REPORT OF MISS WILLETTE ALLEN.
KINDERGARTEN DEPARTMENT.
The Kindergarten department enrolled twenty-five pupils. The work of this department consisted of lessons in the theory and practice of Froebel's principles of educa tion, applicable iu some degree to all elementary school work, but especially adapted to the earliest education of the child.
In daily lessons, detailed explanations were given of the significance and value of Froebel's educational toys or "Gifts" as used to aid the awakening mind of the child to gain simple fundamental perception, leading to clear and definite conceptions, through which process alone the habit of clear thinking can be established. Each lesson was fol lowed by class practice with the kindergarten materials^ demonstrating the manner in which each gift and occupa tion should be used to serve the purposes of true education, viz., the perfect development of the child's whole being-- physical, mental, moral.
Physical.--In the accurate use of the five senses, dex terity of hand and control of the nerves.
Mental.--In acquiring the elements of geometry, arith metic and language-work--laying the foundation for later studies in geography, natural history, literature, etc.

148
Moral.--In the cultivation of patience, perseverance, unselfishness, kindness, love and appreciation of nature-- leading to love and reverence for nature's Creator.
Respectfully, WlLLETTE A. AlEEN.
The above report was presented to a meeting of the Georgia State Mormal School Commission, held in Athens October 7, 1893.
It was moved by Dr. Wm. E. Boggs "that the report of the president and instructors of the Normal School be adopted as the report of the Normal School Commission to the Governor of Georgia, and that he be requested to have a number of copies of it printed for distribution, and direct that it be incorporated in the report of the State School Commissioner to the General Assembly of the State of Georgia."
This motion was unanimously adopted.
