OFFICE STATE SCHOOL COMMISSIONER, ATLANTA, GA., October 1, 1896.
To His Excellency, Governor W. Y: Atkinson: My DEAR SIR:-In obedience to the law, that requires
-of this Department an annual report of the condition' of the schools in Georgia, I herewith submit the report for 1895 to the General Assembly.
Very respectfully, G. R. GLENN,
State School Commissioner.

'THE TWENTYFOURTH ANNUAL REPORT
FROM THE
-DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION.
To THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF GEORGIA
.-Gentlemen: ,
I SUbmit herewith the report from this department requirM"by' law: A copy of the same will be mailed to 'each member of the legislature before the meeting of that body in the general session. My obvious purpose in placing the report in the hands of the members before the session of the legislature, is to give each member an 'opportunity to study in detail all the features of this report. I have found by experience that the members are so busy with the multitude of questions that are brought -to the notice of the legislature, that they have little time -during the session for a careful and intelligent study of our educational problem. In my humble judgment, no question that will be brought to the attention of the next legislature of Georgia will begin to take rank iJ;l importance with the grave, earnest question of providing an adequate school system for the right education of the 'children of the State. Our present system is totally and radically inadequate. Our school system at present, as far as the rural districts are concerned, lasts from three to five months. Neither the three-months system nor the five-months system is sufficient to educate Georgia .children.
The right to exercise the duties and obligations of citizenship pre-supposes intelligence on the 'part of the citi:zen. The State demands of her citizens sufficient intelli-

6
gence to understand the operation of all our laws amI the rights and obligations of the citizens under the law~ The State has also assumed the right under the constitution to provide for.the partial education of our citizens. The records of our courts show unmistakably that ourcriminals come from the class of citizens who are allowed to grow up in ignorance and fall into vicious, immoral habits. Our criminal courts show further that a largemajority of our criminals come from the neglect of both moral and intellectual training in childhood.
I do not think that this general propositionwiII be questioned by any man of sound mind. Every man who is a criminal could have been saved from crime if the proper influences, moral and intellectual, had been placedabout him during the formative period of his life, when character and destiny are shaped. This proposition lies. at the very foundation of our educational system. This. collateral proposition is also true: It is infinitely more economical for the State to save its children from becoming criminals, than it is for the State to provide expensive penitentiary systems in which to house and care for men after they have become criminals. If more thought and more energy and more money were spent in building the right kind of school-houses and providing the right kind of training for our children, the legislature would not be required to spend so much time and so much money in providing shelter and safety for the criminals: of the State. As I see the needs of the great State of Georgia, as I have studied the wants of her people from the mountain to the sea, from the Savannah to the Chattahoochee, I repeat, the greatest problem before our people to-day is the educational problem. I have now visited, as the law requires I shall do, every county in theState except ten. Those ten I shall visit before the meeting of the legislature. I have been studying the people as I find them. I have been watching the trend of the people's thinking; not on the gold question, nor on the silver question, nor the tariff question, but on the educational question. I have been trying to find ont, in

7
crder that I might report intelligently to the legislature, what the people of Georgia think of their children. I do not know how much tariff we need for revenue; I do not know how much tariff is necessary to protect infant industries, but I do know that we need more protective tariff for the children. I do not know what ought to be the ratio, commercial or otherwise, between our gold and our silver, but I do know that the ratio between the intelligence and ignorance of the masses of our people is far too high for a great State like Georgia. Our boundless resources can never be developed by our own people until our own people are made strong enough to stamp intelligence upon what they produce.
THE STATE HAS ASSUMED THE EDUCATION OF THE CHILDREN.
The State has undertaken to provide for the people a system of popular education. In this matter our own State has assumed the prerogative that has been claimed by everJ other State in the Union. The difference between us, however, and the other States in the Union is that nearly all of the other States in the Union have completed their system of popular education and we have barely begun. It may be a matter of surprise to the members of the Georgia legislature to know that the last report of the Commissioner of Education of the United States shows that more than forty States in the Union rank higher than Georgia in the scale of intelligence, and only about three States in the Union are lower than Georgia in the scale of illiteracy. It is time that the representatives of a great people, a people with an honorable ancestry and a proud heritage, should wipe out this reproach. Georgia cannot be the Georgia that our ancestors bled and died for, hoped and prayed for, so long as nearly 40 per cent. of the masses of the people, from ten years and upward, cannot read and write. Under the present trend of things we shall soon brin~ all of the wealth and intelligence to the city centers, and we shall

8
inevitably have an ignorant peasant population in the rural districts. I appeal to the men who are from the rural districts of the State of Georgia to say whether Georgia can be great and prosperous if the life-blood and wealth are withdrawn from the farms and centered in the cities. The people have left their farms and are leaving their farms simply because there are not scho.ols sufficient to educate the children in the country. The tide of population has for years past been rapidly moving from the country to the city, until our urban population in Georgia has vastly increased, while the rural population has vastly diminished.
It is just as important for Georgia that the voter in the country should vote intelligently and stamp intelligence upon what he produces, as it is for the voter in the city to vote intelligently and stamp intelligence upon what he produces. One of the candidates who is running for the greatest office in the gift of the American people has said no wiser nor truer thing in all his speeches than when he said:
"You may burn the towns and cities in your country, but if the farms survive the towns and cities will bloom again; but if you destroy the agricultural life of this country, the grass will grow in the streets of your towns and cities." It requires intelligence to make two blades of grass grow this year where only one blade of grass grew last year. All the conditions of life and all the opportunities for wealth and intellectual and moral advancement have just as much importance for those who are to grow up and have charge of our agricultural interests, as they are for those who are to control the marts of commerce and trade.
As matters are now in Georgia, I repeat, with all the educational advantages centered in the towns and cities and scarcely any educational advantages in the country, the towns and cities will continue to increase in population and wealth, while the rural districts will continue to diminish in population and decrease in wealth.

WHAT IS OUR REMEDY?
Plainly, it is not safe for us as a people to allow the present status of things to continue. The ignorant voter with a ballot in his hand is a dangerous man. The only government by the people and for the people that can be a safe government is when the people use the right of elective franchise intelligently. The man must be intelligent enough to know what order is and what good government means before he can intelligently vote for either. Ignorant men may vote for their liberty and selfpreservation, but intelligent men only can appreciate patriotism and the real advantages of good government.
If our citizens are to exercise the right of franchise and perform all the other duties that make citizenship safe and useful, the citizens must be educated. The theory of the State has been that the State will provide , for a three-months or a five-months school, and the counties must do the rest. When the public school system was inaugurated we had a great many private schools that were supported by tuition paid voluntarily by the people; to-day we have not a single private school, properly so called, in the rural districts, and not exceeding half a dozen in the State outside of the rural districts.
The people have simply quit paying tuition, and the children are left to grow up in ignorance. In the year 1895, out of the 600,000 school population, about 250,000 did not attend school at all, and a large majority of these 250,000 children were in the rural districts. The schoolhouses were for the most part so wretchedly uncomfortable t"Q.at the schools could not be carried on in the winter time. The little short-term school was necessarily held in the spring and summer, at the time when nearly all Df the country children who were large enough to work were compelled to be in the fields.
The remedy for this state of things is a compulsory local tax that will provide for better school-houses and a more capable teacher for the country children. The
members of the legislature will be asked to compel every county in the State to raise at least as much local

10
tax as the State provides for the county. This is the policy that is well-nigh universal in all the States in the Union. Pennsylvania, for instance, in 1895, gave to public education from the State treasury $6,000,000.00 and the counties in Pennsylvania raised by local taxation $12,000,000.00 more.
You will observe that two-thirds of this royal sum of $18,000,000.00 appropriation for the public schools of Pennsylvania was raised by local taxation. In Massachusetts the entire amount of school fund, with the exception of an income from the permanent school fund, is raised by local taxation. In all of the States in the Union where the public school system has been put into complete and successful operation, the rule seems to be for the State to appropriate one-third of the school money and for the counties to raise the other two-thirds by local tax. The wisdom of this plan of raising the school money will at once commend itself to the members' of the legislature. People appreciate what they pay for. "'iVhen the people themselves have a large financial interest in the schools of the county, they will take more interest in the schools. They will see the direct benefit of the local tax. The money is raised in the county, is spent in the county, its circulation helps everybody in the county, and the people in this way feel the benefit of the direct tax, and, as before stated, the value of the school is brought directly home to every taxpayer; and this local tax invites not only his sympathy and support, but his pride and patriotism as well.
THE LOCAL TAX SECURES AS CAPABLE TEACHER FOR THE COUNTRY SCHOOL AS FOR THE CITY SCHOOL.
I beg to call the attention of the legislature to another important fact that they should carefully consider in con nection with this local tax. In 1895 the average pay of the teacher in the city school in Georgia, supported by local tax, was $502.00 per annum. The average pay of the teacher in the country school, without local tax, was

11
less than $120.00 per annum. The teacher in the city
school has nine or ten months' employment, and can give his whole time and his whole thought to his work. The teacher in the country school has from three to five months' employment, and is compelled to seek other fields of employment for at least seven months in the year. The inevitable result of this has been to tend to drive out of the country the teachers who have professional ability, and who cannot afford to teach for the wretched pittance provided for the country schools; so that for the last twenty years our best country teachers have eitheI' left the profession altogether and gone into other callings of life, or they have drifted into the city system. In every case the country school, the country children, and the country home have suffered by the loss of the capable teacher. We have come to the time in the history of education in this country when the consensus of opinion of the best professional minds in the land is that none but a capable teacher, none who has not professional knowledge, none who does not understand childhood and the child-mind as the physician understands the human body. and none who has not the genuine love of children, should ever be placed in charge of the children. The professionally-trained teacher, the well-equipped teacher, cannot be secured for our country schools at $120.00 per year.
I find the people everywhere in the State, with a very few exceptions, are refusing to pay tuition to supplement the school fund. They say that the State has assumed the education of the children, and the State must makeprovision for the long-term schools. I believe, therefore, that the time has come for the legislature of Georgia to say to the people that they must impose the local tax in order to provide the necessary school facilities and competent teachers for the rural districts. In my humble judgment, it is in this way only that we shall be able to provide adequately for the education of the children. I am, furthermore, thoroughly satisfied that it will not dl.> to abandon our children any further to the terrible ha7.-

12
:ards of the present system. Other States in the Union have passed laws enforcing local tax with compulsory 't'ducation for the children. Georgia must do the same thing if Georgia is ever to wipe out her fearful record of illiteracy and take her proper place among the States -of the Union.
OUR ORIMINAL REOORDS, A~D WHAT THEY TEAOH.
There is another thought in connection with this matter that the legislature cannot study too intently. I have been collecting, as accurately as I have been able to do, the facts in connection with the criminal records of the counties in this State. I have asked the county officers to furnish me with reliable statistics on this important question. In most cases these worthy officers have most cheerfully complied, so far as they were able to do, with my request. I beg to say in this connection, if the legislature of Georgia should pass a law requiring an accurate record to be kept of all the expenses which have to be met by local taxation growing out of the arrest, trial, conviction, sentencing, confinement, and punishment of criminals, the legislature would be amazed at the amount of money that most all of the counties are spending in making criminal history. I have found county after 1;ounty that spent in the year 1895 two or three times the amount of money in the arrest, trial, conviction and punishment of criminals that they have spent on all of the teachers and schools of the county put together. This, to my mind, is a startling, alarming page for Georgia to be writing in her history. These black pages should not be allowed to appear in the future records of this State.
Victor Hugo has well said that "He who opens the door of the school-house, closes the door of a jail." This wise Frenchman did not mean "martin-box schoolhouses," or the wretched makeshifts that are found in so many of our rural districts in Georgia, but included in his idea of a school-house a well-appointed building and -a master who was able to lead the children aright. For

13
the last twenty years we have been building fine jails in. Georgia and neglecting to build fine school-houses forthe children in the country. I repeat here what I have said a thousand times in my public addresses to the people in the rural districts of Georgia, that we would have less use for jails if our school-houses were made as comfortable for the children as the jails are for the criminals, and if the salaries of the teachers were made equal to the salaries of the sheriff and the jailer. The money of the people has simply been spent on the wrong end of life. If the same money that Georgia is now spending on grown-up criminals was spent in saving the children, ourprison population would be infinitely less, and the happiness and peace and prosperity of our homes would be infinitely greater. I will go away from home and bring to, the attention of our legislators some statisticlit from the English people since they established a public school system in England. These statistics tell a most interesting story. "In England, in 1856, the number of young persons committed for indictable offenses was about 14,000; ten years later the number had fallen to 10,000. In 1876 the number fell to 7,000; in 1896 the number had fallen to 5,000. During all of this time, in which the record of juvenile crime had fallen more than 50 per cent., the population had increased 40 per cent. The prison statistics of England tell a story nearly as interesting. In
twenty years the prison population has decreased about 30ller cent. These prison statistics also show that out of164,000 persons committed to prison in this time, a very large majority were uneducated; only about 4,000 could read and write well." That this result has been brought about by a school system that has been rapidly reaching the masses of the people, nobody will dispute. No people on the face of this earth have been so careful in the selection of the teachers for their children as the English people. They have insisted upon it that only men and women who were capable in every respect should beplaced in charge of the little ones.

I
THE TEACHERS' INSTITUTER
} Our law requires that there shall be a meeting, lasting at least one week during the summer, of all the teachers in each county in the teachers' institute. The boards of education, with the county school commissioners, are required to select a conductor or expert who shall lead the teachers in these meetings. These institute gatherings are becoming more and more valuable every year. The State School Commissioner is required to prepare a syllabus or an outline of study for these institute sessions. I respectfully refer the members of the legislature to the "Outlines of Methods" printed in this volume. In the preparation of these outlines I called to my assistance a number of the leading men in the profession in the State. These outlines of methods have been a source of great inspiration and helpfulness to the teachers.
Under the present law the county board is not authorized to pay more than $25.00 per week to the institute conductor. Out of this $25.00 the conductor must pay all of his expenses to and from the county and his board bill during the week. It frequently happens that the whole amount is consumed in paying his expenses, and the conductor has nothing left as his remuneration for his time and labor. A great many of our best teachers, however, have been unselfishly and patriotically giving their time and thought as a labor of love, but this sort of thing cannot last. It is too much to ask of these able and consecrated men. The law must be changed so as to make better provision for this institute work. In order to overcome these difficulties as far as possible, and provide better pay for these worthy conductors, as well as to secure better results for the -teachers, I combined n number of counties during the last year. Wherever the county school commissioners united heartily in the combination movement, the institutes were a vast improvement over the old plan. Instead of having one expert. we could in this way secure two, and sometimes three. The combined institute allowed us not only to divide the labor of conducting the institute, but also to provide bet-

15
ter pay for the conductors. In bringing a larger number of teachers together, we found that the teachers gained very largely over the old plan by a larger interchange of experiences, and a broader and fuller discussion of all the plans and methods of school work. Indeed, so popular was the sentiment in favor of the com bined institutes in many places, that the teachers not only passed resolutions indorsing the inter-county institute, but they arranged with county school commissioners for similar meetings next year. The only drawback to this movement has been that the country teachers' salaries are so small that many of them are absolutely unable to pay the $5.00 or $10.00 additional expense that the institute away from home requires. If the present legislature will adopt plans providing for longer term schools and better pay for the teachers, there will be no trouble about conducting successful inter-county institutes.
In this connection I beg to say also that instead of providing for an institute of one week, the institute should last at least one month. This is the plan adopted by nearly all of the States in the Union.' One week does not allow time enough for the study and review of our present methods, courses of study, etc. I suggest that the legislature extend the length of the institute to one month. The law should also be changed in regard to tht! selection of institute conductors. The time has come when our teachers need real experts, able and competent conductors, not "experters," as they are sometimes called. It is a waste of time and money to place a company of country teachers in charge of a man who knows nothing about institute work. The State School Commissioner has no remedy against this wretched incompetence as the law now stands, and I suggest that no man be allowed to conduct institutes in Georgia unless he is properly indorsed by the State School Commissioner. I believe that a better plan for the State to adopt would be to employ (paying their salaries from the school fund) four gentlemen selected by the State Board of Education,

16
whose business it should be to do all of this institute work. They should give their whole time to it and to nothing else. Let their salaries be sufficient to pay them adequately for such service. The State could be divided
into iour institute districts. These four gentlemen, being under the control of the State Board of Education and the State School Commissioner, could take charge of this institute work and give us infinitely better results than we are now getting. The State Board of Education should be allowed not only to fix the compensation of these conductors, but also control the terms of office and the division of labor. I recommend very earnestly that the legisfature empower the State Board of Education to select these conductors and define their work as before indicated.
THE NEGRO IS RAPIDLY ADVANCING IN EDUOATION.
\
I am delighted to find that the negro as a rule makes the most of the opportunity which the State is providing for the education of his children. I steadfastly believe that the colored man is destined to do the State a great service in return for the liberal division of the school fund that he now enjoys. If our theory of education is true, that ignorance never was anything but a curse to the people who were ignorant, and the history of the world shows that the theory is true, then it is unquestionably a wise policy on the part of the State to educate the negro. As long as he remains in ignorance he is a standing menace to everything that we hold dear. If left to the weak and absolutely helpless condition in which ignorance places him, with a ballot in his hand that
can :.1 no sense be called a free ballot, he may have the
power to destroy everything good that our civilization has brought us. By nature the negro is impulsive, by nature he is sympathetic, by nature he is emotional and easily exI cited; he is instinctively loyal and generous. If the good qualities of his head and heart are wisely directed by proper educational processes, he can become, and I believe will become, a most potential factor in aiding the

17
Southern people to work out their great industrial problem. It is a great mistake to suppose'that education hurts the colored man and unfits him for service. A little false education and misdirected education may do this, but the natural and normal development of the life and character of the negro, as has been shown already in so many notable instances, will make him a most val-
uable aid to us as a people. r find wherever r have gone
in the State a growing disposition on the part of the intelligent colored men to show their sense of gratitude for the aid that the white people of Georgia are giving the race by cultivating the kindliest and most helpful relations between themselves and their white neighbors and friends. This, to my mind, is a most hopeful indication. The State can well afford to continue its liberality toward its colored citizens in view of the fact that this liberality promises such large returns in the multiplied usefulness of the negro race.
r believe the time has come to add industrial features
to our common school system. The sentiment of the world is rapidly changing every~hereon this matter of industrial education. School men are insisting upon it that a boy's brain will have weak spots left upon it unless the organs of his body have the training necessary to develop what we call manual skill. In the public schools throughout the country this is being put into successful practice, and the colored people especially need ;'\, system of education that will increase their industrial usefulness. The time when this mind development that fits one for useful occupations in life must take place is in his childhood. I beg to copy in this connection from a most valuable paper prepared by Professor Thomas M. Balliet, of Springfield, Mass., a few paragraphs which are intensely suggestive:
"The partridge comes out of his shell a complete partridge in all respects except size. It can run anQ peck with unerring certainty at food; it can do almost anything that the mother can do. There is no such helpless-
2sr

18

ness as there is in the case of the new-born child. The

cat and the dog mature in about a year; the horse in five

or six years. The human being is born the most helpless

of all creatures. \Vhilst its brain grows rapidly during

the first seven years of life and reaches almost its maxi-

mum size and weight by the end of that period, there is

yet a period of very gradual growth after this, which is

probably due to processes of organization, and which

lasts to the age of twenty-five or thirty, or in some cases

as recent investigations have shown, extends into the

forties. Here we have a process of maturing reaching

over thirty or more years. What does all this mean for

education? The partridge's brain and nervous system

are matured before the partridge leaves its shell, and

hence it cannot be materially modified by the impressions

it receives from the world around it. Heredity deter-

mines its whole life. The young partridge is a second

edition of the old-without revision. Progress and edu-

cation are impossible. The cat, the dog, and the horse

have brains and nervous systems considerably matured

before birth; heredity, therefore, determines much, but

not all. Their brains are plastic for a year, or two years;

hence they can be trained-scarcely educated.

"The human infant has the most immature brain at

birth of all animals. It is, therefore, so early in its de-

velopment brought under the power and the influences

of its environments, that these forces can very largely

determine its development. This long period of matur-

ing after birth, giving environments and education an

opportunity to act upon the brains and nerves and to

fashion character, is the one thing which makes progress

and civilization possible in the human race, whilst the

same are not possible in the case of cats and dogs. It ren-

ders it possible for individual character to be developed.

and for the child to be better than the parent; it accounts

in part for Franldins and Lincolns."

~fany rich lessons for education can be drawn from

this truth. They are so obvious that I need not stop to

l

refer to mQre than one. It is this: There is a time in the

19
maturing of the brain when it is most susceptible to given influences, and can be most efficiently modified by certain kinds of training. 'l'hese opportune periods have been called "nascent periods," the periods when given aptitudes are born and blossom out. The determining ()f these nascent periods is one of the pressing educational problems of the day. Such a nascent period is approximately known for the development of the manual skill. vVe all know that if a child is to learn to play an instrument it must begin young, and if a boy is to learn a trade he must likewise begin early. Some one has said, "You can make something of a Scotchman, provided you catch him young." The same is true of the Yankee, the Englishman, the Frenchman, the American, the negro, and the rest.
The nascent period for developing the various forms of manual skill is roughly estimated to extend from the age of about four to the age of .fourteen. During this period the brain centers which preside over the muscular movements of the hand develop into functional activity, and can attain a degree of efficiency, if properly trained, which it is impossible for them to reach at a later period in life. In this fact is found the weightiest reason for connecting manual training not only with high schools, but also with the grades below the high school. If a boy cannot receive such training in school, he must either miss his opportunity for getting it during the period when he can develop the highest degree of skill, or must leave school before the age of fourteen and neglect the education which comes from books.
There will, no doubt, be a judgment after death. Many people seem to dread it. But few realize that life is full of judgment days-days after which it will forever be "too late" to do certain things. Everyone of these nascent periods in the life of the maturing human being is a judgment day which forever determines certain things vital to its character and life. A lost opportunity in early education is not merely a loss of time-a loss which can afterwards be made up-it is a loss as irevocable as youth itself.

20
What does manual training accomplish in the way of developing moral character'?
In the first place, it develops respect for manual labor' in the minds of young people and helps to eradicate thefalse notion that selling goods over a counter at $5 a week is more genteel than laying bricks at $3 a day_ Finding as they do that skill in manual occupations is. as difficult to acquire as a knowledge of mathematics or of a dead language, they realize that it demands a high order of brain power, and that those who engage in manual labor of a skilled kind may be the peers of those who are supposed to be engaged in intellectual work. The association, too, in their minds of the literary or academie work of the school with the shop work increases their appreciation of the dignity and worth of the latter.
In the second place, whilst the manual training-school does not aim to teach a boy a trade, it gives him a training which will enable him at once, on leaving school,. to earn from $1.00 to $2.00 a day, and thus become selfdependent; and I fail to see why the earning of an honest dollar by a boy, purely for the sake of the dollar, should be more sordid than the begging of an unearned dollar from his father, or the depending on his father for all the dollars he needs for his support without furnishing any equivalent for them. If idleness, shiftlessness, and pauperism are immoral in their tendency, if not in th-eir very nature, then there are worse things for which our schools may be responsible than teaching a boy how to, earn an honest living:'
In the third place, manual training creates sympathy' for the laborer in those who do not earn their livelihood by manual labor. It establishes a bond of sympathy between the laborers and the employers of labor. If the future employer of labor takes a course in manual training as a boy, he will not only have more respect for his employees, but having performed difficult manual laborhimself, he knows what it means to earn one's bread in the sweat of the brow. That this is not always the effect, simply shows that manual training shares the fate of all teaching.

21
In the fourth place, manual training helps effectually ,to develop habits of accuracy which are carried into other lines of work. This is the universal testimony of those in the best position to know.
In the fifth place, if it is true, as is maintained by many psychologists, that all thought is motor to a greater or less degree; that what we call thought is repressed action, and what we call volition is simply thought carried into execution, then these motor ideas which control directly the voluntary muscles must have an important function to perform. They are, in a peculiar sense, the raw material out of which the ethical will is formed; they are at least the soil out of which it grows.
More than this, inhibition in the nervous system lies at the root of self-control in morals. The man who cannot effectively inhibit his muscles cannot effectively control his passions and desires. Flabby muscles and weak will, if they are not related to each other, as cause and -effect, are at all events concomitant effects of a common 'cause-lack of motor efficiency in the brain.
'Whilst all forms of physical exercise contribute more or less to this power of inhibition-football included-it yet remains true that manual training makes a very important contribution to it. All skilled labor, as already shown, involves small groups of muscles. The natural tendency of motor nerve centers is to drain off energy through all the channels open to them, and hence to 'contract large groups of muscles; to limit the contraction to small groups -means a delicate' inhibition of all muscles not used in the movement, especially such as are commonly associated with those used.
This power of inhibition, the necessary concentration 'Of attention, form a most important element of strength to the higher ethical will, and may, in fact, be regarded as an integral part of it.
More than this, manual training, appealing to the eye .and hand, establishes a co-operation between the censor and motor part of the brain, which is a most important step in the thorough organization of the brain. This

22
proper knitting together of different centers, this opening of paths of association between the sensory and central portions of the brain on the one hand, and the executive portions on the other, is most vital to its health and efficiency. It makes for perfect sanity and mental health, for well-balanced adjustment of life to environment, for good judgment, for self-control, and for firmness and poise of character. Much of our present school work divorces knowing from doing, and often exaggerates the relative value of the former as compared with that of the latter. Examinations test knowing more than doing, and even university degrees are conferred on the basis of attainment in knowing rather than attainment in doing. This may be, to a large extent, unavoidable, but it is nevertheless unfortunate. The legitimate end of knowing is doing. Right thought, to remain healthy, must ultimately issue in right deed. This is an unalterable law in moral hygiene; and anything which can be accomplished in the schools to establish the necessary physical co-ordinations in the brain, which will open lines of least resistance between fhe centers of thought and the centers which execute thought, will make powerfully. I believe, for the prevention of that utter divorcement of thought and morals which we find in such characters as Rousseau, and which is expressed so forcibly by the Roman poet when he exclaims:
"I know the better, and prove it, too, Condemn the worse, and still the worse pursue."
A NEW SCHOOL ENUMERATIO~ NEEDED.
I find that in quite a number of counties in Georgin, the school population has increased so rapidly since 18H:{ that a new enumeration is necessary. The last school census was taken in 1893. I give below a few counties showing the necessity of this new enumeration. The Legislature will have only to remember that as a rule about 60 per cent. of the school population is enrolled, and then

23

apply this rule to the enrollment given below with the enumeration from the census in 1893.
For instance, in Worth county the enrollment last year was 4,643, while the census of 1893 gave 3,182. Applying the ordinary rule, the present school population of Worth county is between six and seven thousand.
We can only distribute the money according to the census of 1893, and, therefore, Worth county, with twice as many children as she had in 1893, still receives the same pro rata share of the school fund that she received in 1893. Plainly there should be some provision of law by which the State Board of Education can remedy such cases of inequity in the distribution of the school fund as are found in the counties mentioned below:

SOME VERY SUGGESTIVE COMPARISONS FROM THE TABLES OF THIS REPORT.
The total school population of Georgia from the census of 1893 is 604,971. The census taken in 1896 would show at least 650,000. \ Of this number the enrollment of 1891} is 366,937 and the average attendance is 218,519. At least 250,000 children in Georgia were not at school in 1895. For the most part they are country children that bbor on the farms. The schoolhouses in the country are so uncomfortable that the schools must be held during the spring and summer. This is the time when the country boy must labor on the farm; hence he cannot go to school at all.
The average salary paid teachers under the common school system in 1895 was $121.68. The average salary paid the teacher under the city system or local s~'si(~m was $505.20. This difference is entirely too great. The children in the country are entitled to school facilities equal to those enjoyed by the children in the cities. The local tax has given the cities their excellent school system. The local tax must provide the same facilities for the children in the country. The num-

27
.ber of teachers in the common schools in Georgia in 1895 was 7,982. Of this number only 695 have had normal t;;mini The value of the schoolhouses in 111 counties
in Georgia outside of the cities, as reported to this office,
is $5R9,771. The value of the jails in the same 111 counties is $601,572. These figures tell an :rppaIling story.
'I'h(' average value of the country schoolhouBe under the common school system, as reported to this office, is $108.00. The average value of the schoolhouses under the system supported by local tax is $8,554.00. It will be seen also by reference to the tables that the teacher for the country child, under the common school system, received per annum $2.93. The teacher under the local system, or city system, received for each child enrolled $10.91. All of the comparisons suggested above, and others that might be taken from the tables, emphasize the great difference that now exists between the appor: tunities afforded the child under the common school system without local tax and the child under the common school system with local tax.
From whatever point of view the question may be viewed, both the facts and the figures in the case argue eloquently for a compulsory local tax that will provide the same opportunities for the country l:hild that the city child now enjoys.
READING CIRCLES AND LIBRARIES.
I am able to report that considerable interest has been manifested during the last year in the matter of providing suitable books for the children to read and creating permanent libraries for the teachers. In some school" in Georgia, the children themselves have raised a good deal of money which is to be devoted to the purchase of books for the school library. Our ",orthy county school commissioners, as a rule, are aiding and encouraging this movement. I hope that the time is not far ahead of us in Georgia, when there will be attached to every public school in the State a well selected library for the use of the children. If we can form in the minds of the young a desire for good Ii terature, we can save many a boy whose mind might be otherwise

28
filled with the sewage of vile publications now being circu,lated broadcast over the land.
I am glad to note, also, that a growing professional spirit among our teachers is causing them to read professional literature more than ever before. In some of the counties the commissioners ha.ve good selections of the latest books on educational history, works on psychology, pedagogy, methods, etc. Perhaps a larger number of professional books were read last year by onr teachers than in any previous year in our school history.

THE UNIVERSITY OF GEORGIA.
A most excellent report of the work of this grand old institution is found elsewhere in these pages. Year by year the University has sent out into this and other States well-equipped young men, who are taking prominent places in the various walks of life. K0 worthy history of Georgia could be written without including 1 vast number of bright and brightening names of the University graduates upon its pages.
Many of our most distinguished leaders in all the d(~ partments of human endeavor have drawn the inspirations of their lives from this time-honored fountain of learning.
I desire to place on record here some of the distinguished contributions which the University of Georgi:l has m~. le to the ministry, to the State Legislature, to the National Legislature, to the Confederate States, to the Judiciary, both State and Nation, and to the cause of education.
Most of these honored names have worked their way up from the hard lines of deRtitution and poverty toHhe high places they have filled in the State and nation. They furnish object-lessons of what is possible to every poor country boy if only the opportunities for education are brought within his reach.

THE STATE ~ORMAL SCHOOI~ AT ATHENS.
I beg to call special attention of the Legislature to the needs of the State Normal School at Athens. The report of President S. D. Bradwell is published on another page. The report shows that for the year 1896 the total enrollment has been B54. Eighty counties in the State are represented in this number of teachers. The attendance at present is 252. President Bradwell informs me that ever.r available space in the buildings is now occupied. Some of the rooms in the dormitory have from three tn seven occupants. All of the cottages located near the school that could be rented, have been rented for the students, and still there is a demand for more room. Thirt.r-one pupils during the last week in September had t? be turned away because they could not be accommodated in the college buildings and there were no more cottages to let. I take pleasure in commending the able management of the school by President Bradwell. He and his noble faculty are doing magnificent work for the State. President Bradwell not only superintends the work of the school, but he has so managed the boarding departc ment that the average monthly expenditure of the pupils: for board, including lodging, washing, fuel, lights, and all living expenses, have been kept within $7.00 pel'month.
The great success of this normal school furnill1hes ample evidence to the Legislature that our common school teachers are determined to secure higher professional attainments for the great work in which they are engaged. President. Bradwell's report shows that 96 per cent. of those teachers attending the school already"hold license to teach, and their presence at the Normal School shows that they are not satisfied merely to hold license, but that they are ambitious to secure the very best training that the State has provided for them.
In my judgment the school needs at least as mucll more dormitory room as has already been provided, and I sincerely trust that the Legislature will mal{e all th" appropriation nece15sary to meet the urgent demands of this great school.

52
There is a balance in the treasury of $750.00 that the commission saved from the dormitory appropriation to pay for the furniture of the dormitory. "\Ye found, uudel' the opinion of the attorney-general, that the law did not allow us to use this balance for the furniture. The Legislature will be asked to pass an enabling act allowing the $750.00 to be used in payment for the furniture that is already placed in the building.
"rIlE GEORGIA NORMAL AND INDUSTRIAL COLLEGE AT MILLEDGEVILLE.
The Legislature will read with a great deal of pleaslm~ the account which President Dhappell gives elsewhere of the work of the Georgia Normal and Industrial College. This sehool has gTown to be not only the pride of the Legislature, but the pride of the State as well.
At the opening of the fall session a few days ago very nearly one hundred pupils were turned away for lack of accommodation. The last Legislature appropriated $1.5,-
noo for the new dormitory. A beautiful structure, admi-
rably arranged for its purpose, has just been completed. Notwithstanding the fact that this new building providei-J accommodations for 135 additional students, the president informs me that there were applications from a sufficient number of pupils desiring to enter the school to more than fill another building of equal size. This school has already given to the State a large number of most excellent young teachers. These bright young women are going back to the rural districts, where their homeR are located, and along with their diplomas they are carrying into their homes, and into the homes of the communities where they reside, a new light and a new life thl\t will be felt for ages to come in the State.
Some of the most successful teachers now engaged in'the public school system in Georgia have come from this Milledgeville school. It will be noticed that in the normal department last year there were 147 young ladies ,studying the course with a view to becoming teachers.

53
A larger number annually receives normal diplomas than collegiate diplomas.
The value of the school to the State can be shown from the Hiatement of the president that while the institution is only five years old, fully three hundred of its students, gradnates and undergraduates, have been teachers in thp GeOl'gia schools. At least one hundred, others are nmy making their living by practical industdal arts, such as stcnof!THphy, 'telegraphy, bookkeeping, etc., learned in the school.
In ;,dditiob to the appropriations from the State Legislature, the school receives annually about $2,500 from the Peabody Fund.
I slJggest that the Legislature authorize the StallSchool Commissioner to grant State licenses to those ;vonng ladies holding normal diplomas from this school, wh'never one of these graduates has shown by her professional f;kill in the school-room that she is entitled to recei ve State lic6nse.
KOWfH GEORGIA AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE, DAHLO~EGA, GA.
This school receives annually from the State $2,000.00. It is perhaps giving back to the State more in return fOl' the investment than any other school that receives State support. The influence of the school has extended to almost every county in the Northern part of the State. Since its establishment it has put its stamp upon hUlldreds of young men and young women who are now filling useful and honorable places in the commonwealth. The enrollment last year was 213,
'1'he military feature of the school has attracted wide attention. The Inspector-General, who visited the school this year, says in his report to the War Department that in some respects the Military Department at the )\orth Georgia Agricultural College was the best of any of the colleges that he had inspected in the South.
The school needs additional buildings and the authori-

54
ties will apply to the Legislature for a larger appropriation in order that the;y may secure the needed improvements.
GEORGIA SCHOOL OP TECHXOLOGY, A'l'LANTA, GEORGIA.
In the summer session of the Legislature in 1885 a bill was passed appropriating $65,000.00 to foun~ this school. 'l'he Governor, in 1886, appointed the following Trustees: N. E. Harris, S. M. Inman, E. R. Hodgson, and Columbus IleaI'd. Two other members, namely, Messrs. George \Yinship and "lV. B. :Miles, of Atlanta, have since bet-n added.
The object of the State in establishing the school was to provide for our boys a place where they could not ~)ll]Y learn the principles of science, but the practical application of those principles in mechanical and induslrial arts. Prom the very beginning the school ha's been popular with the people of the State. It has already graduated a large number of young men whv are filling :::mportant positions in mechanical and industrial institutions.
The school is located on a beautiful site near Atlanta. 'I.'he location embraces about nine acres. The Academic building is a splendid edifice of brick, trimmed with granite and terra-cotta, slate roof, has 130 feet front, is -J:~O feet deep, and is four stories high above the basement story. It contains ample accommodations in hall;;. o":"es, apparatus rooms, recitation and lecture rooms, free-hand and mechanical drawing-rooms, library and chapel. The workshops are also of brick, the main shop building' being two hundred and fifty feet long by eighty wide, and two stories high, with large basements. It is admirably designed with reference to its use and affords ample space for the machine, wood shops and foundr~-.
The mechanical, chemical, and ph~-sical laboratorit-s have been fitted up with reference to practical work. The apparatus and appliances are of the newest and besjform. The workshops have been equipped with ma-


55
chiner.}' and tools from the best makers and of the latest pattern at a eost of over twenty thousand dollars. In pursuanee of the fundamental idea of giving the students aeeess to the best machinery and experimental knowl('dge of the best methods of mechanical work. the Trustees have put the meehanical work on a footing with tllP most approved and complete shops in the country, and hardly any proeess requiring fine material and accurate workmanship is beyond its capacity.
'fllP shops of the institution have already won an enviable reputation for the quality of their brass and iron castings, perfeetion in gear-cutting, and the beauty and variety of their wood and other work.
'rhe new President, Professor Lyman Hall, is throwin~ great earnestness into his administration. He is sup ported by an able faeulty and the school gives promise of very great usefulness in equipping our young men to be leaders and promoters of our mechanical and in dustrial enterprises.
'l'HE GEORGIA STATE INDL"STRIAL COLLEGE.
This institution is the only one of its kind in Georgia for the education of eolored youths. It is located at Collpge, a suburb of Savannah. As the name implies, onl~ of the principal objeets of the school is to train our col ol'ed young men in the meehanical and industrial art~. The college is under the supervision of a Board of Commissioners, who take great pride in fostering all that is best for the young men in attendance. They have placet! in eharge of the sehool a most excellent faculty. The prf'sident is a man of exceptional ability. He keeps himsplf in toueh with all the great educational movements that can be efficiently applied to the various departments of the school over whieh he presides. He spent a good part of his vacation in one of the best Northern Universities, with a view to studying the latest and best methods of edueation. The State has every reason for taking' llrhk in the work that is being done at this sehool.

56
I had the pleasure of attending the last annual comnwncement. I heard the graduating speeches of a number of the young men who received diplomas. I hav\~ rarely ever heard finer speeches anywhere at an,Y colleg,? eommencement than I heard from these Georgia eolorell young men on that occasion.
The kind of education that these 'yOlllJg men art' rt'ceiving at the State Industrial College will make them wisi~ and helpful leaders of the raee in this State.
'rhe commission in charge of the school is managing its financial affairs with exceptional ability. They hav(~ not only secured a most excellent faculty, but they are adding, from time to time, additional equipment in buildings and appliances that will largely increase the uspfulness of the institution. One of the most valuable features that has been recently added is the farm. 1'11\' students are taught the latest and best methods of increasing the productiveness of Georgia soil.
I take great pleasure in referring the Legislatnre to the report of this school found in another place.
OTHER IXSTITT;TIONS Ol<-' LEARNING THAT ARE DOING THE STATE GREAT SERVICE.
Any account of the educational work of Georgia tlwt did not make mention of the work done by the denominational colleges would be manifestly unjust to these important institutions of learning.
'Vhile these eolleges for higher education reet'ive Ill) aid from the State treasury, they deserve all praise as well as the unstinted thanks of the people of Georgia for the high places they have won in popular edueatiol1. l\Iany of the ablest teachers in this State have come to 11S from these institutions, and thousands of !'1en and women in all the walks of public and private life owe their usefulness to society to the training they have 1',>ceived in these grand institutions of learning.
This is notably true of Emory College and Mercer University. These two great institutions of learning 1m'

57
sending out into the State annually a large number of young men who are doing noble service, not only in th,-~ schoolrooms, but in the ministry and in all the high callings of human life.
CO;\IBINED INSTITUTES.
Reference is made elsewhere in this report to the resolutions and communications expressive of opinions as to the results that attended the combining of the county institutes.
The law which provides for the annual sessions of the county institutes also provides that the State School Commissioner may, in his discretion, combine any number of the sessions of these institutes, 1'0 that the same may be held in any county designated by him.
\cting under this law, the Commissioner, during the past summer, caused the sessions of the institutes of a number of counties to be combined, and held at places most suitable for the greatest number of teachers.
The results of the combining of the sessions were most gratifying, indeed, and proved a highly satisfactory and effectual improvement in the limited amount of normal instructions that Georgia teachers have opportunity to enjoy.
In order that the members of the legislature may become more fully acquainted with the results of the combining of the sessions of institutes, resolutions and communications relating to this matter are given below.
'rhe following resolutions were adopted by the teach ers in attendance upon the combined institutes for Heard, Carroll, and Coweta counties, held at Carrollton:
"Resolved, That we indorse the 'combined institute' fOl" the following reasons:
"1. An expert is with us morning and afternoon, which is not generally the case with the county institutes; and' we are better able to secure the best experts, as we have on this occasion, and add variety and co-operation by having two or more.

58
"2. By bringing together a larger assembly of educators, a more extended friendship and fellowship is promoted, and greater good is secured in the institute work, because more talent is brought tog-ether.
";t More enthusiasm is aroused, because a greater number of enthusiastic teachers are present.
"4. County pride will incite to greater efforts and better preparation.
"5. It broadens our perception of institute work and may culminate in something better for us, as the formation of local normal chautauquas in connection ,vith the institute.
"6. It is the sentiment of this body that this combined institute is the most profitable institute that we have ever attended."
"'e offer these answers to the following current objections that, on account of so many being present, teachers do not feel so free to participate in the exercises, and there is not time for all to ask questions.
The lack of freedom will be removed when the teachers of different counties have become better aCquainted, and as more questions are asked, the subjects are more fully developed, and each teacher may understand whether he asks the question or not.
Second, That it is more expensive. The opposite i:-> really true, because we have reduced rates on railroads, at boarding-houses, livery stables, etc. 'Ye have made the actual calculation in several cases of teachers from other counties and found the expenses to be less.
In a letter to the State School Commissioner, Hon. D. P. Hill, county school commissioner of Monroe eounty, said of the combined institute held at Indian Springs:
"I have been talking to the teachers of Monroe, and find that they are uniformly of the opinion that the combined institutes are more beneficial than single county institutes.
"The white teachers are anxious to meet again at Indian Springs. Kot only were my teachers benefited, but

59
1 know I gained valuable aid by associating with com'missioners from other counties.
"I was proud of the institute, but prouder still of my teachers."
Commissioner Harper wrote of the combined institute held at Blackshear as follows:
"The institute was a complete success. Teachers well pleased. Commissioner Bennett expressed himself as being highly pleased with the meeting. 'Ve thank you very much for the combination of the institutes; it is the very thing.vVe have promised to combine with 'Vayne next year."
Commissioner Steed, of Taylor county, indorsed the combined institutes as follows:
"I attended the teachers' combined institute for Houston, Taylor, Macon, and Crawford counties at Perry last week. 1 am satisfied that great good was accomplished in discussing syllabus sent out from your office. The combined institute has superior advantages over the county institute."
Commissioner R. D. Shuptrine wrote as follows about the combined institute at vVarm Springs:
"Our combined institute at 'Varm Springs was a sue,cess, giving far better results than the county institute.
"'Ve had two experts, who kept up the interest all the time; in the county institute one expert divides his time between the whites and negroes-in different buildingsleaving the teachers alone for half the day, causing them to lose interest to such an extent as, sometimes, to wish to adjourn. Another benefit of the combined institute is that it brings the teachers together, furnishes a comparative standard by which to measure themselves, and stimulates their ambition.
"It will also secure a better class of experts.

60
"The only objection at present is the hardship it causes some of our poorer teachers-young ladies who are struggling to support their families, pay for their education, etc.
"'l'he inferior teachers who take no interest in these exercises will soon be thrown out. If combined institutes accomplish this and nothing else, they will do an incalculable service to education in Georgia."
Quite a large number of letters of the same tenor might be produced, but those given are sufficient to indicate the success of the ploo of combining the institutes and of the desire for and appreciation of normal instruction by the teachers of the State.

REPORT OF PEABODY INSTITUTES FOR COLORED TEACHERS.
OFFICE OF S'rATE SCHOOL COMMISSIONER, ATLANTA, GA., August 31, 1896.
DR. J. L. M. OUBB:v, 1728 "J[" St., Washington, D. C.
My DEAR DOCTOR :-1 beg to inclose herewith a general statement in regard to the distribution of the Peabody Fund for Georgia. You will note with special interest the reports of the fi ve monthly Institutes held at Valdosta, Marietta, Madison, Marshallville, and Albany. These points were selected with a view to reaching as large a number of the colored teachers as possible.
I have never seen anywhere more enthusiastic interest than these negro teachers manifested during the sessions of the Institutes.
The number of total attendance of the five Institutes was 1,170, the number of colored teachers ill the State is 2,898. You will see therefore what a large per cent. of the teachers, actually engaged in teaching, attend these Institutes.
I send you a detailed report prepared by the conductors themselves, of the work done at each place. I selected, 2S a rule, three teachers of the colored race to do the work 2t each Institute. I wanted to test the teaching-power of the colored man thirty years after slavery. I am sure you w~uid have been both surprised and delighted at the results in almost everv case. Of course I was careful to fielect the very best colored men and women in the profession. Their intelligent treatment of the latest and best methods of teaching, and the whole subject of psychology 2nd the history of education, was in most cases simply marvelous.
I am glad to report that our people in Georgia are be.coming more and more in favor of the education of the

62

children, both white and black, living within the borders

of the State. I have visited all of the counties (137 in

all) except ten. For the last six months especially I have

traveled a great deal and have spoken from two to three

times a day. I have gone mainly into the rural districts

away from the towns and cities. I have been studying

these plain people in the country in order that I might

find out the actual trend of their thinking. I am glad to

report to you that I am hopeful that we shall have a great

awakening in these plain people in the matter of education.

I ha\'e urged everywhere in my speeches the necessity

of a local tax to supplement the school fund provided. by

the State. I have good reason to hope that the next legis-

lature will pass a bill compelling every county in the State

to raise at least as much by the levy of a local tax as the

State provides for the county. This will give us enough

money for eight months' Echools in the ruml districts.

I believe our people are beginning to see, as never before,

that material resources cannot be developed without intel-

ligence, and the broader and deeper the intelligence of the

masses, the more unlimited the possibilities in material

things. I have frequently had audiences of a thousand

country people to stand up afo; one Illan and declare that

they would insist upon a local tax in order to secure a

longer school term, a better school-house, and more capa-

ble teacher.

Of the money that you have sent me I oove paid tt)

Milledgeville $2,600; the Snmmer Institute $1,500. I

have still the amount appropriated for the Normal School

at Athens. This amount that school will draw to pay a

teacher for free-hand drawing.

I send you a detailed statement of the expenses of the

Summer Institute for whites at Cumberland Island, amount-

ing to $500.

Yours truly,

G. R. GLEKN,

S. S. C.

MARSHALLVILLE, GA., July 20,1896.
"Whereas, The benefits to be derived from the Institute, in this department of educational work, are great from many points of view.
Therefore be it resolved, That the large enrollment at the present Institute, and the unflagging interest on the part of the 1154 teachers, who have been in attendance since the opening of the session, give very cogent evidence of the fact that a large percentage of those engaged in the great work of teaching are beginning to more fully appreciate the magnitude of the work in hand, and the importance of better qualifying themselves for the sanie.
2d. That the thanks of the Institute are due and are hereby tendered Dr. J. L. M. Curry, the venerable and efficient agent of the Peabody fund, for the liberal appropriation made for the furtherance of Institute work, and the many other proofs of kindly feeling towards our race and profound interest in our material, intellectual, and moral advancement, as well as the advancement of the people in general.
3d. That we hereby give the administration of Han. G. R. Glenn, our present worthy and most capable State School Commissioner, our unqualified indorsement, and pledge ourselves to support any and all measures inaugurated by him or his successors in office work looking to the improvement of our educational affairs.

4th. That it is the sense of this body that a State Normal 'School is a much needed institution in our State. That the teachers, the most important public servants of the Commonwealth, may have ample opportunity of equipping themselves for the great work of training the future citizens ()f the country, and we shall hear with grateful hearts of the establishment of such an institute.
5th. That the work of this Institute, under the general manager, Rev. Professor F. G. Snelson, and his assistants, Mrs. Alice D. Cary and Professor E. S. Richardson, has been a success, and that if the many useful hints here given are properly assimilated and put into practical operation, the earnest endeavors of those entrusted with the work will not have been in vain, and its good results will be most apparent upon those among whom we labor.

GEORGIA TEACHERS' ASSOCIATION.
The session of the Georgia 'reachers' Association held at Cumberland Island July 14th to 20th was one of the most pleasant and profitable in the history of that organization. 'rhe attendance was good and the program was helpful and entertaining. A gratifying. feature of the session was the time and interest devoted to matters pertaining to the common school. In this conection mention should be made of the fact that a number of county school commissioners who were in attendance upon the annual session of the Commissioners' Association, attended the meeting of the 'reachers' Association and tool~ part in the discussions. The report of thp reading circle committee was most gratifying, indeed. President Ste"\yart, of the Association, stated that the book companies reported a wonderful increase in the demand for profe~ sional books in Georgia.
'L'he results of the session of the Association can but tend to the accomplishment of that end so greatly desired-the continual improvement of the schools of Georgia.
A code of ethics, adopted by the Association, is printed elsewhere. The following were the officers elected for the Association for the ensuing term:
President-Joseph S. Stewart, Superintendent of Schools, Marietta.
First Vice-President-D. P. Pollock, Chair of English, Mercer University.
Second Vice-President-Miss :Mamie L. Pitts, Atlanta public schools.
Secretary-\V. B. ~Ierritt, Superintendent of Schools, Valdosta.
'rreasurer-J. E. Kemp, Chair of Science, Gordon Institute.
Below are given the names of the officials and the plan -of the Georgia Reading Circle and the books selected:

'l'HE GEORGIA READING CIRCLES FOR TEACH-
ERS AND YOUNG PEOPLE, 1895-96.
ORGANIZED BY THE GEORGIA TEACHERS' ASSOCIATION.
Board of Directors:
J. 31. Pound, Normal Department Georgia Normal and Industrial College, term expires 1898;
E. C. Branson, President Gordon Institute, term expires 1898;
Joseph S. Stewart, SuperintendEnt of Marietta Public Schools, term expires 1897;
L. B. Eyans, Superintendent of Augusta Public SellOols, term expires 1897;
Otis Ashmore, Superintendent of Sayannah Public Schools, term expires 1896;
Miss 1\1. Rutherford, Lucy Cobb Institute, term expires 1896.
Hon. G. R. Glenn, State School Commissioner, exofficio.
Purpose: Recognizing the importance of guiding the reading of the young, and of professional reading on the part of teachers, the Georgia Teachers' Association, in 1894, appointed a board of directors to select a systematic course of reading for pupils and teachers, and arrange for the purchase of the books at the lowest possible cost.
Plan: The board requests the county school commissioner to act as county manager in each county, and the city superintendent for each city. To them will be sent circulars for distribution and they are requested to push the organization of circles. 'I'he books may be read in the schoolroom as Supplemental Readers, or in little circles organized with president, etc., at home, in special Friday afternoon exercises, or in any way that may suit the circumstances of any particular locality. The great object is that the books be read. Do not wait for a large circle; begin with the books for one class, or with one set of books for the whole school. Money can

80
be obtained by small contributions from the pupils, or from an entertainment. Make a beginning if you can buy one book.

CODE OF ETHICR.
ADOPTED BY THE TEACHERS AT THEIR ::\IEETI::\G .~T
Cl:::\IRERLA"'D ISLA~D.
To assist teachers in settling delicate and difficult CJ nestions of professional conduct and propriety, to quieken their sympathies for each other, and for all who are engaged in the work of teaching, to exalt their professional ideals and increase their love for the profession, this code is devised.
Section I.-Members of this assoeiation should be slow to criticise adver~ely the scholarship. methods, character, or conduct of another, r.nd when they do indulge in

83
such criticism, it should be after a full knowledge of all the facts and with the intent of serving some good end.
Sec. II.-Members of this association should be careful not to disparage educational institutions, unless those institutions are known to be guilty of gross improprieties either in their manner and methods of teaching or in what they teach.
Sec. III.---'Teachers should be scrupulously true to their contracts. In leaving a position they should take every precaution not to injure it in any way, and should be as helpful as possible to their'successor.
Sec. IV.-No superintendent or teacher should become an applicant for a position not practically vacant. 'Vhen a board of education has decided to remove an incumbent, or the incumbent has decided to surrender his place, it may then be sought without impropriety.
Sec. V.-In a contest for pmlition, none but strictly fair and honorable means should be used; and, when the contest is settled, it is not professional for the defeated candidate to pursue the 'successful candidate with malicious reproaches nor any way interfere with him in the discharge of his duties.
Sec. VI.-Teachers should not underbid each other fot' patronage or position, and should under no circumstances persuade or attempt to persuade pupils away from another school. Profel'lsional courtesy should require that teachers traveling with the purpose of seeking patronage should pay their respects to the teachers of local schools.
Sec. VII.-Teachers should not knowingly recein~ an expelled pupil without first conferring with the authorities of the school from which he was expelled. 'Yhen all the facts that led to the expulsion are known, tlH'y should be carefully weigked, the rights of the expelling teachel" and of the expelled pupil being kept constantly in mind. and the pupil should be accepted or rejected aecording to the dictates of reason and justice.
Sec. VIIJ.-Teachers engaged by business houses thatdeal with school-teachers and school boards should make such announcement of their connection with those houses as will preyent their recommendations from seeming disinterested.

84
Sec. IX.-In adYertising their schools, teachers should he extt'eu'l'IJ careful not to misrepresent them by claiming for them merits which they do not possess, and purposes which they do not entertain. Modesty and truthfulness should characterize all public announcements that are intended to attract patronage.
Sec. X.-All disputes or contests arising nnde1' this code, or by reason of any yiolation of its spirit. should be submitted for settlement to the committee on membership.

ANNlL-U~ ADDRESS OF THE PRESIDE~T BEFOR8 THE GEORGIA TEACHERS' ASSOCIATION, JULY 15TH, 1896, by JOSEPH S. STEWART.
Thirty years ago, in the city of Atlanta, twenty-five consecrated educators of the State met to consider the educational needs of Georgia. Among those present were Dr. H. H. Tucker, of Penfield; Professor 'V. Leroy Brown, of Athens; Dr. 'V. :11. Bonnell. of \Vesleyan; Professor G. C. Orr and Professor J. S. Stewart, of Oxford; Professor Bernard ::\1allon, of Savannah; Professor S. Fouche, of Rome; 'V. M. Bray, \Y. ~1. Jones, and \Y. R . Tones, of Atlanta.
'Yhat a condition confronted these men that August day in 1867! The war was over, but the country was ia the throes of reconstruction. Five hundred thousand ignorant slaves had been freed and many of them were nolV seated in the halls of legislation dominated by the Uilscrupulous carpet-bagger. One hundred thousand Confederate orphans were growing up in ignorance.. Tlw "poor" schools were dead. 'rhe villages were without teaehers. The people were too poor to pay for tuition.
Shall the State sink to the level of the Antilles'? "No," ('xelaimed these patriots. "Let us band ourselves into an assoeiation to promote the eause of education in Georgia." Resolutions were passed favoring "popular (~duca tion of the blacks with equal privileges with the whites, hut in separate schools."
Popular education in Georgia started in the college,;. These men from the University, from Emory, and Mercer, and 'Vesleyan, saw the dangers confronting our Stat<~ and went home to begin a campaign for popular education. Education here, as in every other r,.:tion, has been disseminated from the centers of higher education.
They met in ::\1acon in 1868 in increased numbers and heard reports from different sections. They were encouraged by having secured an article in the constitution of 1868 favoring popular education hy the State. In 1869 the association met in Atlanta. There were fortyfive present at this meeting. Besides those mentioned above there were Dr. Alexander Means and Dr. I. S. Hop-

93
kins, of Emory; Dr. A. G. Haygood, ~Ir.J, A. Richardson,
Mr'. 'V. A. Hemphill. General J. B. Gordon, and Mr. 'V.
G. \Vhidby, of Atlanta; Professor S. P. Sanford, of Penfield; Professor 1. S. Cox, of LaGrange, and ProfessOl' ~I. V. Calvin, of Augusta.
Professor )1. V. CalYin read a paper upon "Populrrr Education in Georgia." 'l'he chief wantf' <)f the State in ]'derence to this subjeet, as set forth in this paper, were:
1. An enlightened common school law. 2. A State educational fund.
a. A progressive State superintendent.
4. County superintendents. 5. Boards of Education in each county. fi. 'l'eachers in deed and in truth. 7. Normal schools or normal departments in universities and Colleges.
This paper was fully discussed and referred to a COIllmittee of five, consisting of Professors Orr, Calvin, Lewis, Mallon, and Bonnell, under a resolution of Professor Orr directing that the committee draft a bill to be submitted at the next annual meeting and then to be laid before the General Assembly.
At the next meeting the report, written in the main by Professor Orr, was read and, after a lengthy discussion. adopted.
'l'he speeches were full of the soundest principles and show the spirit in these men.
Said Dr. S. Landrum, of Savannah: "Some persons insiRt that the State should not undertake the education of its eitizens. Poor or charity schools will not do it. They have been tried ano failed.
"Private s('hools reach only the wealthy and well-to-d'l elasRes. Denominational schools fail to reach tlw larg" proportion of the population not connected with the various churches. If the State has the right to punish crime, it certainly has the right to prevent it. The devPlopment of the intellectual resources of a State is prerequisite to the development of its material resources. Let the State cultivate the immortal mind and she may w~k(' to lift man~' an angel."

94

Calomel Hodson, of Alabama, proved that the State

had the power to support schools. "Of our people seven-

eights," he said, "are manual lr:.borers; one-eighth live

by their wits. The larger class cannot school their chil-

dren; the State must do it for them. The State can ef-

fectually educate. If Prince Bismarck could send hiB

child with the baker's son, surely Republicans should

not cavil about class. The State owed it to the colored

people, the State owed it to the Confederate sollliers that

their children should receive an education."

.

~Jr. E. E. 'White, of Ohio, made a masterful address in

favor of State education. He stated that a republic

must rest on intelligence and virtue, and these must per-

vade all heads and all hearts, for, in the final analysis.

the will of the people is law. The one great question

which underlies the future of this country is the prepara-

tion of each generation of its citizens foJ.' the duties of

American citizenship.

Hence, the State stands by the cradle of every child,

clothed with plenary power to secure and enforce its

right education. 'I.'he iilchool tax is guano upon the field

of the farmer, giving fatness to the soil, and skill and

industry to the tiller. Educated labor is the alchern~

that turns everything it touches into gold.

In October, 1870, after a heated debate in the General

Assembly, the common school system as proposed by

the Teachers' Association, was adopted in its main feat-

ures.

It met violent opposition from the friends of private

schools, froJ:n the friends of denominational schools.

from those who opposed and those who did not believ(~

that the negro could be educated. The association stood

bravely by the bill and in the next meeting suggested

certain changes in the law and closed its recornmendn-

tions to the General Assembly as follows:

"And in the event these proposed amendments do not

meet the views of our representative!". we urge that the

present school law be continned in force."

This resolution shows how great was the oppClsition,

J1Ulny wishing to abolish the entire s,\'ste111.

it wj]] be of interest to us to-day to know that the chipf

95
change recommended by the association was that "No county should receive her pro rata until, by popular vote, she showed her willingness to raise, by taxation, the additional fund necessary to support the schools."
Thus we see that during the first fivf> years of the association, its members, few in number but powerful in {]ebate and strong of heart, so far overcame the prejudices of the people as to inaugurate a system of common schools which has proven the brightest jewel cast up by the storm of war, a pricele~s heritage from a noble sire.
'I'he association continued to meet annually and was ever active, as Professor Bonnell tersely put it, "inquiring how education may be improved in quality and increased in quantity."
In 1870 Governor Brown, in welcoming the association to Atlanta, said: "The pai!1t deserves our reverence b(,cause it was favorable to the development of intellectual power and the highest order of statesmanship; but it was not a system that developed the masses. The old era passed away in the throes of revolution. vVhen we buried 't we thought that we were ruined. God works in a mysterious way, and elevates us in the scale of being when we least exped it. Instead of the old system of agricultural development, that of the development of diversified interests will greatly surpass our brightest anticipations. Eut how can this be Dbtained? E',' mental power. ~lassaellUsetts and New England have dictated the laws and controlled the government becauS(, of mental power obtained by educating the masses, by IJl'o\riding the means to develop their intellectual power and resources. This association must devise means to enlighten the statesman and the legislator."
President A. A. Lipscomb, in replying, used these words: "There is a Georgia greater than the Georgia we have lost; a Georgia grander than the Georgia that was. The Georgia in our brains, under our feet, in our hills and our rivers will be the Georgia that will gladden the hearts and homes of our children. Education has become a matter of statesmanship. Every child taught, eH'ry muscle skilled in activity, is but to arm them to go forth and recover that sovereignty our lInker blessed us

96
wiJ~l-the sovereignty of mind, of muscle, and of soil. (~in~ us this sovereignty andoall else will spring from this single germo"
Hev. J. 'V. Burke, in welcoming the association to Macon in 1874, said: "You do more toward building up the p'osperity of the State-toward making public opinion, than all else. It was said of a teacher of ancient Athens that he ruled that famous city. He said, 'I rule the boys, the boys rule their mothers, the mothers rule the men, flnd the men rule Athens.' In this sense it may be said that you rule Georgia."
I notice in the list of eighty members in 1815 a number of our present body-J. H. Chappell, Clinton; J. F. Bonnell, Milner; 'V. N. Sheats, Camilla; Homer 'Vright, Talbotton; B. M. Zettler, Macon; ,Yo H. Baker, Savannah.
It will be found true that the men who have risen to prominence in education in Georgia, in the last thirty 'years, have been active members of the association. They caught an inspiration from contact with one another that carried them over the obstacles that confronted them.
During the next few years at the sessions held at Toccoa, Barnesville, Rome, Macon, Atlanta, and Athens, the efforts of the members seem to have been directed toward methods of instruction. Instead of recommendations to the Legislature looking to the increase of the school fund and the perfeetion of the system, we find discussions upon "~Ianner of Teaching Latin;" "Spelling -How to Teach It;" "'Yritten "'ork in Schools;" "'Yhat Is the Best Method of Securing Original Essays at Comnwncement Exercises?"
I believe that the convention at Barnesville did recommend that all dogs be taxed and proceeds be given to the school fund.
In 1883 opposition to the public school system found expression among the members of the aSf"ociation. One gentleman declared that the pub~ic schools were ruining the conntry school-teachers; that the State School Commissioner "had his hand on the throat" of the teachers of private and countr~' sel1001s of C}eorgia; that till'

97
,country people were opposed to public ~chools because tte negroes were getting the benefit of the fund to the exclusion of the whites.
The grand old connnissioner, Dr. Orr, replied that the best and only way of removing the grievance of which tl.e countr,v people eomplained was not to abolish the s,vstem. but to move forward and demand appropriations adequate for longer terms and a more liberal support of the COllllllon schools.
In 1885 the association seems to have awakened to the need of more help for the schools. Mr. Zettler urged that the villages and cities could not edueate the masses; that a general tax of one mill was neeessary to increase the sehool fund so that the country schools could run six months.
Mr. 'V. R. Thigpen followed in an able paper advocating loeal taxation. He showed that Xew York spent $1:3,000,000 annually for her schools, $8,000,000 of whieh was raised by local taxation.
Pennsylvania. spent $10,000,000, of whieh $!l,OOO,OOO was by loeal taxation. Massachusetts supported h('!' fjchools entirely by loeal taxation. 'I'his year also began the agitat'ion for a State industrial school.
During the session of 188H, in Maeon, '1 pleasing ineident was a visit frolll ,Jefferson Davis. Among othcr things he said: "There can be no higher eaIling tlUlll yours, beeause it dignifies the importanee of intellpdual improvement. Often in the history of the world hm\ force overeome, but it has never acquired dominion ovpr intellig1ence. Roman arms mastered the nrl'eks, but (:treece taught Rome art. Later Romans paid tribute to the Huns and (}oths. but the!, felt the infiuenee of Christianity and refinement and Rome triumphed in morality and art and the barbarians became her subjeds. lean only thank ."on for this gl'eeting, and nUl." nod bless yOil in .' om' la hors and pna ble yon to rise, as the Itidians did. above the barbarian and show to thp world that brute force is not snperior to mind~"
Dr. Hopkins read the paper of the year upon industrial prlncation. Thp agitation for an industrial school was

98
now on and did not cease until the Legislature founded the Technological Schot)l in 188B.
'rhe question of Peabody institutes, how a,ld by whom conducted, was discussed by )11'. Ashmore. }[r. Evans introduced a resolution that a memorial to the Lpg-islature be prepared advocating and urging an appropriation for the establishment of a State Xormal School. Another resolution by J. 'V. Glenn was passed looking to an increase of the school fund. And another, "That tht, Neorgia 'reaehers' Assoeiation has learned with llIortift cation and regret of the appointment of a member of another profesiilion to the ofliee of State Sehool Commissioner."
The boys are in the saddle again and we may look fol' increased interest ~JI along the line.
'['he next year the aSl>ociation began its fight against uniform text-books for the State and eontinued the agitation for a Xormal Sehool and inn'eased appropriations for the sehools. During the last five years mueh needed legislation has been seeured. In 18BO Mr. J. H. Roberts i'itarted the movement for prompt payment of the teachprs. This was finally accomplished after the Gaincsvilb meeting by Mr. R. J. Quinn and Mr. VV. H. Fleming.
In 18Bl, at Brunswiek, the present institute law was devised and recommended to the Legislature. The common sehool eourse has been enricheu, the State' appropriation has been increased from $100,000 in 1871 to $1,2150,000 in 18l:l5, the Normal College and the Xormal and Industrial School are realities, the Reading Cirdes are a success, our home has been built, a teaeher is Stat(~ Commissioner, a five-months school is in reaeh of ('ver? ehild, and old Georgia is feeling in her every indu8tr~' the thrill of intelleetual power. Truly, the Georgi:.l in our brains, under our feet, in our hills and our rivers is the Georgia that gladdens our hearts and our homes.
The membership has never been large, averaging less than one hundred. The association has had twenty-one Presidents-Tucker, Bonnell, Lipscomb, Battle, J1aUon, Baker, Sanford, Haygood, Lambdin, Dews, Zettler, Bal'nett, MeKamie, Caldwell, :Uooty, Chappell, Irvin, Thigpen, Smith, Guinn.

In this bI'ief reyiew of the sessions of the association we see something of what the Georgia teacher has done for his State. The State has responded !lobly. After ages will delight to tell of the self-sacrificing devotion of the people of Georgia to their country during the thirt~ years following the war.
Under circumstances without a parallel in. history-I challenge our eritics to match it-with no land fund, with our wealth gone, with the flower (f our young manhood sleeping on an hundred battlefields, with one-half of the population to be taxed to educate their own children and those of their former slayes in a sparsely settled country, with a magnanimity unsurpassed, the schools haye been maintained and improved. In the cities and towns. where there is local taxation, illiteracy is practically overcome, in many calles amounting to less than.1 per cent. In the rural distriets the number has been decreased by half; the schooll!\ are Christian; the Bible is not excluded.
Let us thank God for what has been accomplished. Let us raise our voices in praise of thJc:e noble men who haye given us so rich a. heritage.
Is there, however, no work for us to do? Yea, verily. As long as Georgia pays but $1.70 a year for the education of her 650,000 children; as long as but 350,000 of these are enrolled in her schools; a long as her 8,000 teachers rec;ein~ on an average of but $130.00 a year fol' their work; as long as her schools are run but five months in the year; as long as she is without schoolhouses; as long as her county sys.tems are imperfeetly supervised; as long as 19 per cent. of her school po~ulation is unable to read; as long as teaching fails to be recognized as a profession, so long will we have a fight to make, so long will the banner of the Georgia Teachers' Association be kept aloft.
Let us in thil'! convention get down to praetical work. The program suggests lines of thought and action. Let us devise a plan of local taxation that will be constitutional and praetical. Let us preach education in the streets., in the homes of our patrons, in the public prints, in the halls of legislation.

\Ye need a Horaee :Mann in every eounty, men inspired by an abiding faith in edueation. Schoolhouses are the mile-stones of a nation's progress. Alfred laid the foundation of England's greatness when he fOHnded her universities. Germany blotted out the disgrace of .lena and A usterlitz in 1870 with her "thinking bayonets."
Old John Harvard staked the first mile-stone of Xew England's progress. Virginia owes most of her great men to Jefferson. \Yho can tell how much (}eorgia is indebted to her male colleges, her schools and \Vesleyan, the first of tlw eolleges for young ladies '? Tlw fact tha t Georgia ranks first among the Soutlwrn States in manufadures is largely due to the spread of public edueatiolJ in the State. A..s the schoolhouses dot the hill and plain does a State rise in rank among the nations. :\fay eaeh of us aid in ereating an educational revival in Georgiathat will give her the best school facilities in the Union,
I"et us cultivate a true professional spirit and dignify the profession in the estimation and love of the people. .'dready the teacher's position in our literature is changil;g.
\nth the passage of Dickens's Dotheboys Hall, with its selfishness, eruelty, ignorance, and hatred of ehildhood, has come the story of Dr. Arnold at Rugby, a tnw of a tl'lH' teacher-a scholar, a gentleman, with an unbounded enthusiasm in his work, an a bsodling 100'e f(lI' the pupil, im~pired b.v high ideals that lw wrought out in his own personality.
Tlw teacher plays a more important part in this age than in any other. He is a power in the government, in the press, and in society.
President Cleveland showed his good spnse when he appointed two s('holars on the Venzuelan commission. and the two great English nations indorsed the appointment.
\Vhat the profession needs in Georgia among its members is more scholarship, a more thorough knowledge of pedagogy, higher ideals. and a closer union and fellowship.
The people must Iparn to appre('iate the tl'lH' teacher,

101
and discard the quack, who wishes to "get a Sdlool for :1 few months until he ean find something else to do."
They must unlearn an oft-quoted phrase in Georgia. "Anybody can teaeh a country school."
Then' are thousands of childl'en being slowl.y injured mentall.,- by indifferent school-keepers whom the stingi-_ ness of the fathers have put in charge of the school. Tlw people must be willing to pay m:)!'e for a good teaelH'r; must raise the position aboH' polities, and make it se('ure.
The teacher is not a nlPre conSlllller. feeding upon tIE' body politic, as sOllie seem to think. but he is a creator' of values, and worthy of just (ompensation. He lIa~; lwen the originator and disseminator of the highest form of thoughts. Pasteur, a professor in the French Insti tute. lws added more to the wpalth of France than all her Xapoleons and \Yorths. HI' savpd her wine indus try. proteded her cattle from fever. and. with his germ theory, revolutionizpd modern medicine, making all men his debtors.
To Professors Volta, Oersted, Ampere, and Bell, the development of eledricity is due. Ruch men as Helmholtz, Faraday, and Cooke, in their talks to nature witll their pupils, have founded modern chemistry, with its thousand applications in the arts and industries. The teachers that eould take the cmde petroleum that was allowed to waste itself on Lake Erie and extract therefrom hundreds of useful things, surely were adding to the wealth of the nation. '1'he men who have extracted the oil from the cotton seed have increased the wealth of the Routh, while her phosphate beds, her mines of iron, manganese, pyrites, and other ores, are but witnesses of the wealth created by the sehool men. Rut it is not alone, or ehiefly in the arts and seienees, that the teaeher creates values. Every teacher, however humble he may be, is a creator of value, beeause he makes the man himslf more valuable on aecount of his training. A man's muscle commands the lowest kind of wages; a man of muscle directed by an intelligent brain commands higher wages, and is a more useful citizen. A man of superior brain culture to direct, plan, ereate, command~

102
still higher wages, and is a still more valuable citizen. As the mechanic can take iron ore worth 2 cents a pound and, by refining, make it worth $1,000.00, so the teachcl' takes a boy that, as a mere mEn of muscle, might lilt worth 75 cents a day, and much less as a citi7,cn, and by his training and under his inspiring influence, develops a Stephens or a Hill, a Haygood or a Grady-men whose worth cannot be estimated in dollars and cents.
But great as has been the work of the teacher in his discoveries and inventions in the arts and sciences, thereby adding to the wealth and happiness of the nation; great as has been his achievements in the field of the exact sciences, in metaphysicii1, in literature and in history; far-reaching as has been his work in developing . the minds of his pupils, greater far and grander is his work as the character-builder of the nation. Following humbly in the steps of the Great Teacher, he lovingly points his little ones to the highest ideals of manhoorl and womanhood, a glimpse of which they catch in his own life.
Standing in the midst of the children, with uncovered head, with clear eye, steady nerve and noble resolve, the teacher hears the parents beg, as they bring their children to him, "Make my boy a merchant, or a doctor, or a lawyer; train mine to make money; make a man of my boy."
He hears the State say to him: "I entrust these boys and girls to you. Make good citizens of them-law-abiding, industrious, moral."
The church calls to him: "Train them for the ~Ias ter's Kingdom."
What a glorious opportunity! What an awful responsibility! The teacher, as he hears these words, draws closer to his pupils and replies: "If the parents and the church and the State will but aid and uphold me, by God's help this generation shall grow up a free, libertyloving, intelligent, God-fearing people, whose work shall tell for ages-tell for God."
As the pilgrims to ,Terusalem on Easter morn catch the light from the altar kindled from on high and with the utmost enthusiasm give it to others, until in a few

103
moments all in the temple and in the cit,v have candles lightl>d from the heaTenly fire and from thence they cany it to the uttermost parts of the world, bringing' cheer to millions of faithful followe,'s; so may we, haYing ,ionrneyed from every part of Georgia to the shrine of the Georgia Teachers' Association, have our souls rekindled with edncational zeal, and, in the spirit of our sires, may 'we go forth determined to carry the light of edueation to every hill and vale in Georgia until th2re is no home llnillllmined by the divine light of intelligence.

SYNOPSIS OF SPEECH OF STATE SCHOOL COMMISSIONER GLENN AT CUMBERLAND ISLAND,
There are a great many questions before the people lIt thl:' present time. There are questions affecting the 1'I'ospnity of the States. the prosperity of the general g'overnment. State and national disturbarH'es al't, absorbiilg a great deal of our time and our attention. I'PI'llapS the most absorbing question in the State and na~inll is the financial question. People are discussing tH'l'ywllere the standard of our money, whether we shall han-' (me standard or two standards, whether we i'ihall have fiat or artifieial ratio between the two metali'i, ()J' a commereial ratio between the two metals. 'ro l~S, as teachers and school officials, there is a Illueh graver '],wstion involved, a much more important standard for filIi' people. "Lnquestionably the kind of stamp that om' gOI'{','ument puts upon our money is a very important n;atter, but the kind of stamp that is being plact,d upon our children is a Illuch more important matter, not only 10 us, but to our people. 'I'he ratio between the intelli gence and ignorance of the rising generation is, I repeat, a more serious concern than any ratio, artifieial or com mereial, that may exist between the two nwtals. "'hile the mints of the government are putfing an imag(~ and i'iuperscription on gold and silver, the sehool-houses of the eountry, and the teachers of the country, are graving images and superscriptions upon the lives and characters of our children. The standard that we are making for the future citizenship of Georgia is a vastly more important standard to the State than any standard, finaneial or otherwise, that may be used to measure material wealth of the State.
And yet, my friends, I become alarmed everywhere I go as I see men apparently more concerned about the standard for their money than they are ahout the standards for their men. I am sometimes afraid that our children are imbibing the notion that the object of human life'is not to make character and eternal destiny, hut to make money and secure material prosperity.
How to make a man is an infinitely more important

10:>
question to lodge into the ehildren's hearts than that other question, how to make a dollar. I do not know how far we, as teachers, may be held responsible for the kind::; at' ideas of life that our children adopt. I know' what pressure is bl'ought to beal' on us to make our children mere bread-winnen; and wnge-earners. The question is thrust at us that the boy must earn his living amI that it is needful only that we shoul,d teaeh what will aid him in earning wages to buy bread. \Ye cannot adopt this low mercenary standard as the standard for the edueation of our boys and girls. It is just as true to-day as it ,vas in the time of our gTeat Teacher, that man cannot live by bread alone, Money and material things can enter into the development of human character only as ineidents. 'rhe teacher must bring to the ehild things that m'e far above the material values in 01'del' to develop power and eharacter in the child. In 01'dpr to do this, it makes a great deal of differpnce who the teacher is, and what the teacher is, and what the teather has. \Ve sometimes say that we eonsecrate our lives to the ehildren. It makes a great deal of difrerelH' what we have got to eonsecrate to the ehildren. Real teaehing power is the rarest and the greatest possession on this earth. In our day and time it has come to pass that a great deal of stress is laid on the "how," as the term has eome to be used. The tendency seems to be growing to lay a great deal more stress upon how the ehild shall be taught than what the ehild should learn. .My fellow teaehers, a right kind of method is undoubtedly a most important matter. Nobody will question seriously that the manner of our teaching must not be overlooked, but it is infinitely more important than aU methods and all manner that we should know what to teaeh the ehildren. No new method eyer ean or ever will be able to supplant the truth itself. \Vhat sometimes has beeome, in our new education, a veritable eomedy of methods has sometimes resulted, I fear, in a veritable tragedy of edueation. After all, there ean be no uniformity of method. God Almighty did not make any two of us alike. Your way of leading children is your way, and my way of leading ehildren is my way, and

lOti
while your way and my way may be different, if they are wise and proper ways, we shall certainly bring the children to the truth of God. 'Ve may have a thousand methods and a thousand forms of knowledge; we can have but one truth; that is as unchangeable as God himself.
In all these new fads, therefore, my fellow teachers, there may be a grain of truth, but in a great many of them there is a vast amount of chaff. There is a notion all too prevalent that just anybody can bea teacher. There never was a graver mistake. A great many, to be sure, "call" themselves to teach. I am sometimes afraid that some of us will find out, perhaps when it is all too late, that very few are "chosen" to teach.
It might be a most interesting question for us to stop here and discuss what constitutes a call to teach, but I have not the time for this now. I will say this in passing, that no one should ever feel himself or herself called to teach little children who has not lying underneath every other qualification a profound sense of the obligations that a true teacher must assume and an abiding love for little children. I am more and more convinced that no teacher will ever succeed, as a teacher should succeed, who has not embodied as a part of his very soul the 13th chapter of. First Corinthians. I beg to add in this connection one word more: The time has come when the teaching profession should no longer be used as a stepping-stone to other professions. This practice may have been all right for the youth who wants to climb into some profession and who uses the children as his stepping-stones, but it is all wrong for the children who are to be used as the stepping-stones. 'Ve want men and women in the profession whose purpose is not to climb to the stars over the heads of the children, but who will first elimb to the stars to get light that they may condense it within the hearts and lives of the children. Time and again I have found men on the chain-gang in Georgia who have told me that they owed their downfall and ruin to the false light and false guidance that was placed before them by ignorance and inexperience in the schoolroom. False teaching can be more tolerated anywhere else than in the schoolroom. where destiny and

107
tharaeter are fixed, hoth for time and eternity. Dickens }Juts a sentiment on the dying lips of little P~~ul Dombey that all of our teachers would do well to remember. If the light should be divine anywhere, it should shintt divinely on the walls of the schoolroom. when' the children are being trained.
I have been trying to ascertain as intelligently as I might what the Georgia people think of their teathers. I .. have been going up and down in this State for dghteen months, studying the trend of thought among the people on many questions, and especially the trend of thinking in regard to the teachers and children. 1 find that most of the people spend more of their thought on almost everything else that touches their interest than they spend upon their teachers and their children. This is especially true of the rural population in this State. To such an extent has this indifference grown, that it has corne to pass that both the children and the teachers in the rural districts in Georgia are great sufferers from popular neglect. In many sections where I have gone, I have found people teaching school who are so wretchedly incompetent and every way so woefully unfit to be guides, that my very heart has cried out thousands of times Itke this: \Vho is sufficient to raise these Georgia people from this stolid apathy and wicked neglect of the little children?
This indifference to education grows out of a mistaken notion as to what will bring real prosperity to the country. I am afraid there is a growing tendency to change our standards of life as well as our standards of money. :Men are assuming that material prosperity can corne to this country without the application of intelligence. Ii never has been true and never will be true that anything else than intelligence can stamp value upon material things; certainly ignorance cannot put any value upon our undeveloped resources. People are saying everywhere that the change in the standard of gold and silver has brought all of our grievances. I am afraid our troubles corne from a deeper source than this. I am afraid that we are gradually changing the standard of our men. The mad haste to be rich at the sacrifice of manhood and men is the curse of this country. }fen are

108
giving artificial value to money that money does not really possess. ~foney was never intended to be anything else than a medium of exchange in material things. Can it be that we have reached the point in American history when it is true that money has come to be regarded not onl,Y as a medium of exchange of material Yalues, but that it will also purchase influence for good and evil, and purchase powei', and purchase office, and purchase reputation, and purchase social position and political preferment and all things else that may be desired '?
The time was in our American eivilization when tIle biggest and best product of American life was a man. 'Ye are woefully degenerated if the biggest and best product of our ,\merican life has cOllle to be gold or sil"'er, 01' any other material thing. I assume that no thoughtful student of our times can fail to observe this growing greed for gold, and I am afraid that it is having a most unfortunate and disastrous effect not only upon our national life, but upon the life and character of our people here in Georgia. ",Yhy, even the children are taking up the notion that life means the gptting of money. I find that these country boys wherever I go are full of unrest and are not satisfied to remain in the countI'y and grow up in the country. ",Yhen I ask why they are not satisfied with their environment in thp country, the only answer I get from these boys is that "",Ye have no opportunity to make money in the country." But I answer: "You have an opportunity to make men in the country, and the object of life is to make a man and not to make money." But the boy will reply: "You cannot get along in this world without money, and my purpose is to leave the country and go to the towns and cities, where I can increase my chances to make money." Do you reeaJI those old lines '?
"Ill fares the land, to hastenin!!: ills a prey, Where wealth accumulates, and men dl cay."
",Yhenever we set up the money-god in this country and begin to sacrifice all that is dearest in womanhood and manhood to this golden idol, then we may be sure of it the da,Ys of our desolation as a people are not far ahead.

1O~}
\Ye have passed the danger line whenever the time comes that more of our thought and more of our energy are expended in aggregating wealth than in the den~lopment of power in men. If this nation is to be saved from the revolution that mere money po.'ver always brings, I believe that the salvation is to come through the teacher8 of the rising generation. \Ye must plant new ideals of life in the hearts and brains of our little ones. If Wl' can save the children, we can sa n~ the nation. The brotherhood of man is a bigger thought than the individual greed for gold. To teach our children to love men and to live for the development of the greatest possibilities of human life is the noble and inspiring task of tht-' teacher. 1'0 plant in the heart of the children not only a profound and simple reverence for God, but a true, abiding love of the race, may save the children from the false and avaricious greed for personal gain and make them real helpprs of tIlt' human raee.
Does it not look as if a new responsibility is thrown upon teachers of children? The fathers, and in many eases the mothers, have literally thrown their children over to the teaehers. In too many eases these fathers and mothers arp so busily engaged in their worldly pursuits that they give little heed to the work that is being done for the ehildren in the sehoolroom. There is all the more necessity, therefore, that the teaeher of the chil(Iren should be thoroughly earable and thoroughly alin' to the possibilities of the chiI'd. It will not do for any (me of us, m.'- friends, to trifle with theRe possihilitie8. The work that we are ealled npon to do requires all the wisdom that we can bring to our aid from all of the FOurees of intelleetnal, moral, and spiritual supply. Scholarship takes a new meaning and mpthods ha I'e a npw interpretation whpn wp come to apply our seholarship and our methods to the life of a child now. In these da.'-s of advancing scholarship and progressive methods we eannot afford to be satisfied with an.'-thing short of the best. \Ve eannot afford to be idle in view of the sacredness of our great frnst. The time seems all too short. Every hour brings a new opportunity and every child is a new possihility. Besides the world, through the printing press, is bringing to our aid tpn thousand helps. TIl('

110
nineteenth century is closing down upon us, ang the glory of its setting sun gives promise of a far more wonderful display of light and power to come with the new century that is soon to dawn upon us. The question of questions, my fellow teachers, is, "\Yhat have we that we have garnered from the nineteenth century, and from the eighteenth century, and from all the centuries back of us, to earry with us, and that will help to brighten the coming day?"
If we save the children the best light of all the centuries will be needed. 'I'he greatest possibilities for GeOl:gia are not sleeping in ReI' valleys nor hid in the sides of her mountains. The greatest development of our State is not in any or all of our agricultural fields; the greatest product of her resources will not come from our multiplied and varied manufactories. All of these resources of wealth may be without limit in our midst; but before we can have the fullest maturity of development in all of these departments of human labor, there must be another kind of development in Georgia that must precede it all. The richest veins of wealth are not the veins of gold in your mountain sides, but the veins iLl which are transmitted the blood. of your proud and noble ancestry -the veins in which now flows the blood of the children of this State. Your greatest deposits of power and wealth are not to be found in any or all of the mines in the bosoms of your thousand hills, but the greatest deposit of wealth and power for this State is in the brain, tile undeveloped brain of the children of the State. The material possibilities can never reach the high-water mark of civilization, until we shall turn the flood-tides of light and power upon the minds and hearts of the children of this great State. The stamp of intelligence is the stamp that we need to-day on every hillside, in every valley, upon every mountain-plateau, and upon every plain in Georgia. The schoolmaster must be abroad everywhere before we can multiply the products of our manufactories and our commerce and our trade and our agricultfire af'l they are destined to be multiplied when our State has taken the proudest place she is ever to occupy in the "Wnion of States.

SYNOPSIS OF PAPERS
READ AT THE SESSION 01<' THE GEORGIA TEACHERS' ASSOCIATION, HELD AT CUMBERLAND, JU LY 14-20, 189G.
'THE PLACE AND FUNCTION OF THE NORMAL SCHOOL.
By PRESIDENT J. HARRIS CHAPPELL, Of the Georgia Normal and Jndustrial School.
1. It is the business of every normal or teacher educating institution to give scholarship as well as pedagogics.
2. 'rhe scholarship given by normal school should be of the very best quality. It should be sUDerior to the scholarship given by any other kind of 'school, and should be so uni versall,v recognized in educational CIrcles. It should be the criterion by which the scholarship of other schools is judged. For instance, the scholarship given b,v the two schools in Georgia should be better than can be obtained in any other school in the State. The scholarship giypn by Peabody Normal College should be better than can be obtained in an,v other college in the South. But, mark you: The superiority of normal school scholarship should consist not in quantity but in quality. The test should be not "How much you know?" but "How well do you know it?"
3. The normal school should give its graduates a superabundant scholarship-that is, every graduate of a normal school should have more scholarship and higher scholarship than is actually necessar.v in the grade of teaching that he will probably have to do. This superabundance of scholarship is a great power in a teacher. It stands in the same relation to the teacher's work that the background does to a picture. or that reserve power does to personal character. There seems to be no need of it, but it really tells powerfully all the time. Leay\, it out and at once YOU feel the want and the lack of it. That is wh:,,,except' in rare eases, a student is not fitted to become a teacher in the school from which he has

113
just graduated. He must first go off to some higher school to get his superabundance of scholarship, his background, his reserve force. The girl who has just graduated in our normal school at Milledgeville, however brilliant her career may have been, is not competent to be a full teacher in that school. She must first go and graduate from Peabody Normal College or some such institution. No student who has just graduated from Peabpdy Normal College is competent to be a professor in that college; he must first go to some normal universHy to get his superabundance of scholarship, his background, his reserve power. The proverb says, "':Vater never rises higher than its source," but as a matter of fact water rarely rises as high as its source; so to bring it up to a certain level it must come from a higher level.
4. In every State there should be one, and only one, State Normal School. It should be more liberally provided for, and more highly prized by the State, than any other educational institution under its care. The special business of the State Normal School should be to supply teachers for the common schools of the State and for the city public schools. Above the State Normal School should come the Normal Oollege. 'rhe special business . of the Normal College should be to supply teachers for high schools, principals of schools, and teachers for State Normal Schools. Above the Normal College should come the Normal University. The special business of the Normal University should be to supply professors for literary colleges, superintendents of city public schools and professors for Normal Colleges. Each one of these institutions should aim to send forth its graduates equipped with a rich abundance of pedagogics and a superabundance of scholarship. So throughout the whole comprehensive plans of teacher-education the scholarship idea and the pedagogic idea should go pari passu, hand
in hand together.

THE PLAOE AND FUNOTION OF THE BUSINESS OOLLEGE.
By PROF. A. C. BRISCOE, President Southern Business Colle~e.
A business man should become thoroughly trained in the principles which underlie all business transactions before entering upon his fields of labor, just as tlie physician or the lawyer should become thoroughly grounded in the principles which underlie their professions. The prime object, therefore, of the business college is to teach young men and young women the theory and principles of business, and how to apply those principles practically, and according to the most important methods.
The original idea of the business college was exceedingly crude, there being taught bookkeeping in its simplest form, anQ in the most unsatisfactory manner. The result was that business colleges were not held in as high estimation as they should have been. But a firstdass business college of to-day is a fully equipped business training institution, where bookkeeping, arithmetic, writing, spelling, grammar, commercial law, political economy, shorthand, typewriting, telegraphy, etc., are taught. Theory and practice should go side by side from the very start. As. theory, without practice, would be futile, so would business practice, without theory, be useless.
The object of all education is the discipline of the mind. There should be no sympathy with tllat class which decry education, and all branches of education should be CaJ'ried to the highest standard of perfection, and every young man and every young woman should be as well educated as time and means will admit. Experience shows that the more thorough the education of the pupil, the greater the progress made in the business schoolroom, and the better satisfaction given after leaving the business college.
Some enter the business training-schools so utterly void of business training that their success is exceedingly doubtful. To the question, therefore, as to what is the place of the business college in its relation to literary iu-

115
stitutions, the answer should be that it is secondary, and, to a great extent, dependent upon literary institutions.
This is a practical age, and there is danger of neglecting the higher branches of knowledge in the eager pursuit after wealth. Before the war the manner of life in the South was more like the old Feudal system, so that, when the adversities of the war came, our people were left in rather a helpless condition, and the question was: 'Yhat can the young man do to earn a livelihood? Soon our people adjusted themselves to the situation and are now becoming exceedingly independent. Thousands have received instruction in business training-schools, who have gone out into the world, filling lucrative positions and giving eminent satisfaction to their employers. At first Northern colleges were patronized, but it is with pride that we say that there have arisen in the South, of late years, business training institutions that compare favorably with those in the North, so that the young men and young women are no longer looking elsewhere for places of business education, but are patronizing more liberally than ever the Southern business colleges.
The greatest advantage to be derived from a business ducation other than a practical knowledge on accounts, etc., is the lesson of economy. Few young men can go through a business college without having this lesson impressed upon them. They are taught to look upon both sides of an account-on the debt sides as well as the credit side. As the business college is secondary to the literary school, on the other hand the literary school is not complete without the business college. Unless the knowledge derived is applied practically. it is of not much use in after years. The president of the Cotton States and International Exposition stated that his experience had always been that those who had been trained in business colleges gave better satisfaction than those who had not had the benefit of such advantag~s.
It would be well for every young man and yOling woman, after leaving the literary school, to spend some time in a first-class business college, even though they never expect to put the knowledge thus derived into practical
11 st'.

IMPROVEMENTS.
By PROF. LAWTON B. EV AN~, Superintendent of Public Schools of Richmond County.
The public school system of America is suffering from two evils-of uncertainty of design and the influence of party politics. Nobody has as yet decided for everybody what is the best kind of a school system. There is still an indefinite and undetermined condition of our ideals and much confusion of our methods. No voice has yet risen in America to still the tempest of controversy. As a result every city is trying something different from every other city. The age is experimental, and every school man tries to be a discoverer.
Out of this experimentation and confusion and uncertainty there has arisen an unfortunate idea among the school committees of the country, that it is their business to meddle in every department of school work.
Our school committees and boards of education are full of reformers who want to eradicate the evil that they think they see, and of cranks who have pet schemes to impose upon the school for the slaughter of the innocents. These interferences on the part of the school boards with the school officials make confusion worse, until the superintendent and teachers, not knowing whom to follow and whom to obey, are lost in hopeless darkness and dread. The first evil that I desire to call your attention to is this confusion and overlapping of the respective rights and duties of the school board's, the sUI~erintend ents, and the teachers.
The second evil is the well-recognized one of the use of the schools to perpetuate party power. No school system can be perfected upon the platform which makes it a part of the party machinery of any city. There must be complete divorcement of school and party in order to reach proper results. I have known instances where the relentless beak of party power fed upon the vitals of the school svstem until it has almost ruined it. Good teaehers hav~been displaced in order to make room for friends who have influence. No regard was paid to qualifica-

117
tion, but only to family connection or friendly influence. 'rhe school legislation of the future will need to adopt some measures that will rid the schoolrooms of the dominance of unwise, party-influenced, and friend-rewarding men. The school system should be run by school men and not by politicians. ~What incentives have school officers and teachers to labor and to learn if their plans for improvement are blasted by the rude hands of prejudiced boards? It was suggested to me once that it would be a good idea if there could be an examination for m6m bel's of the board of education required by law as well as the examination of teachers.
Let .us see if we cannot distinguish reasonable limitations of the various officers in charge of schools. Let us begin with boards of education. In the first place, I think these ought to be elected by the people instead of being appointed by any other power or selected as ,\ committee from any other body. A committee from the city council, which is strictI,Y a political body, will always use the schools as a leverage for obtaining or retaining office. 'l'his board of education elected by the people should have certain reaS'Onable duties to perform. 'fhe entire control of the finances of the school should belong to them. It is their right to fix the salaries of teachers, to apropriate money for the building of houses. to look after the furnishing of supplies, to see that wise economy is exercised and that no foolishness or extravagance is allowed in the system. It is also their duty to purchase school sites and to build school-houses. In addition to this they should select the superintendent and maintain him during good behavior and once a month visit the schools. A great deal of cheerfulness, helpfulness, and encouragement can be brought into the schoolroom by. a smiling face and a cheerful countenance by a sympathetic school officer, though he may not nutke an.y suggestions nor offer any criticisms. His very presence is an epoch in the month. 'When I have said this. I have said all that belongs to the duty of the school board. 'Vhen they step beyond these duties they begin to meddle in affairs of which, as a rule, they are ignorant.
Now let us consider the superintendent for a moment. What are his limitations and duties? He should not be

118
annoyed with the financial management of the schools, with the bookkeeping, the payment of accounts, and other matters of purely clerical nature. His business is to surround himself with the best order of talent, to set up a high standard for his teachers; must be a model of industry and patience, capable of inspiring and enthusing, and have a clear head and a clean conscience and a stout heart. I believe that the superintendent of any system of schools should be allowed to select his own teachers. He should qualify himself for that business. He should make a study of the teacher-character. He should know a good teacher when he sees her, and he should have the courage of his convictions to say this is a good teacher and that is not a good teacher. In this one matter of the selection of teachers lies the strength of the school system. No matter how excellent may be the superintendent or how fine the buildings, if the teachers in the scho~lrooms are not good teachers the school system is a failure. No excellence on the part of the superintendent can ever avail against dullness and indifference in the grades. On the other hand, though the superintendent may be indifferent in capacity and knowledge, yet if the school buildings be crowded with good teach.ers, wisely selected and secure in their position, the school system will likely be a success. Of all things, in all school systems, the most important is the teacher in the grades.
I should like to ask the question and leave you to answer it: Who is most likely to select good teachers, the superintendent whose business it is to know good teachers and whose interest it is to get good teachers, or boards of education who know but little of the business of school keeping, and who cannot resist the solicitations of friends? I believe that the superintendent should be required to report his appointments to the board of education; that they should have a veto power in order to prevent abuses of his privilege.
As a counter-proposition of the above, superintendents should be allowedto removeincompetent teachers, stating to the board of education his reasons for the same, and

119
they should have the veto power over this action likewise.
This dependence of school officers, thus centering all responsibility where it belongs, will result in improvement to the school by securing better teachers and getting rid of poor ones. Now, if the school officer prove unworthy and unreliable, he should be impeached and removed. But I tell you it is a good rule in all matters .to pay an official well, give him latitude and independence, but watch him closely. By this means blame can be attached to but one person only. The superintendents and principals will not be blamed for errors in the schools for which they are not responsible and which they were powerless to prevent.
Indeed, if I should carry the logic of the above propositions to its end, I believe I would state my opinion in the following form: The people should select the board of education; the board of education should select the superintendent; the superintendent should select the principals of the schools; the principals should select their assistants, and each one of these appointed powers should be held in check by the one next above, by the use of ~ veto power to prevent abuses.
Another matter that is worthy consideration is: Who knows most of the text-books in use by the schools, the teachers who teach them, the superintendent who sees them taught, or the boards of education who never see them taught? 'Who knows most of the good text-books for schools? Unquestionably the teachers who teach them. I do not think that the text-book committee of the board of education know anything about the textbooks. They do not know one good text-book from another, and generally listen to the smooth tongues and pleasant logic of affable agents rather than to the stern, brusque counsel of their experienced teachers. Changes in text-boks should not occur except to replace a poor text with a very good one. It is an imposition upon the taxpayer and the poor patron to reject the text in use and adopt a new one every year or two for the sake of novelty. The reason why this is done so frequently in many places is that texts are selected by those who

120
know nothing of their value. Those who are to teach them are not consulted, dissatisfaction arises, the cla~or becomes too pronounced to be resisted, and the same mistake is made again. Let the teachers have something to say in regard to the books they shall teach; let the principals have a word in it; let the superintendent have a strong voice, and let the school committee acquiesce.
The center of methods in all school systems should be the superintendent. This is necessary for the sake of, uniformity of teachers and of grades who teach upon the same general plan and use individual modifications of certain recognized methods. It is silly for the teachers in anyone system to be teaching, some the alphabet, some the phonic, and some the word and sentence method of reading.
The superintendent should be th,e center of uniformity in this matter. Let him decide upon what he considers best, hand his orders down to the principals, by whom they should be transmitted to the teachers for their strict following.
This leads me naturally to the subject of teacher-training, and that to the assertion that the large majority of teachers in city schools are not normal graduates, but out of the high sl"l1ools and colleges, with good education Hnd quick minds, who in general need to work and prefer to teach school. This is all right. I am prepared to maintain that there are thousands of good teachers in charge of schools whose only training was in the class-room, and who obtained their normal school course right out of the experience of the class-room. In fact, a schoolroom, a good principal, a wise superintendent, a good. library of pedagogical books, the association with good teachers, make a normal school that will result in making a good teacher after a while. It is, indeed, better for the sake of the children and for the sake of the teacher herself, that the normal school course precede any experience in a schoolroom. Time is saved and children are saved by attendance upon normal schools. But let no teacher in the sound of my voice be discouraged because she never saw the inside of a normal school. I know wherefore I speak that some of the bltst teachers in the city schools

121
of Augusta are those who train themselves by daily eontact with the little ones, and by days and nights of anxious thought and study to improve themselves. For, after all, normal schools are but helps, and superintendents
are but helps, and principals are but helps, and school buildings are but helps. 'fhe greatness of the teacher is independent of all this, and is in her own individuality. N~ normal school win ever make a teacher out of a dolt, and no absence of the normal school can ever repress the energy of the soul that is capable of higher things. \Ve can thus have scientific training in city schools. \Ve can never have perfect teachers until our teachers get out of empiricism and get into science. For this the superintendent and the principals are largely responsible. If they know what they are about, if their normal classes amount to a row of pins, if the principal is capable in directing his assistants, the training of teachers goes on every day.
Much of the normal work, so called, in our city schools is a perfect farce. I know much of mine is. I have wasted many a goodly hour in my groping after better things, in my ignorance of where to find them. Teachers' meetings, held once a week, some afternoon for an hour or more, held by grades, sensibly conducted with an absence of speaking and the presence of work, are uplifting and unifying and inspiring. No system can stand compact and solid and steady unless the teachers meet for experience and prayer and for the exchange of those confidences and experiences and suggestions by which one helps another. But the normal class, which is merely the opportunity for somebody to read a paper Dn an abstraction, to parse a sentence or diagram a paraIo('l'aph or WOI'k a IH oblem in algebra, is no normal class. Neither should a normal class be lectured to death. I feel an intense sympathy for those teachers in city schools whose time of service has run parallel with that of the superintendent, and who have listened to lectures once a week for twenty years. It proves to me that the spirit of the martyrs has not passed from the earth.
Another suggestion is the presence of pedagogical libraries. Every school building should have a library for

122
teachers as well as a library for children. One hundred books well selected on the history of philosophy and science pf school-teaching is enough, and every school building in which a half-dozen teachers labor should have that library, and the teachers should study these books and understand these books.
Jean Paul says that books arouse us. No teacher can ever do his best work unless he puts himself in touch with all the past and all the present in the profession.
The last point I wish to make is, that since we commit ourselves to education at the public expense there should be no limit this side of thoroughness. Every kind of education belongs to the public school scheme. p'opularly we think only of a literary training in public schools, but logically are entitled to musical, artistic, and industrial education. They are entitled in the very beginning to be trained for life's work and for life's joys. Ultimately we shall' see our city schools reaching out their arms to enfold the very infants in kindergartens, and then keeping them under proper nurture till they can be sent forth as working citizens fit for any work. Fortnnately we are improving. There are errors, of course. These shall be rid of in after years. Weare groping in uncertain light for many things. Our schools are like our countr,V, young but vigorous. Like overgrown boys, they are awkward and uneasy, but exercise and age will bring increased strength. They contain no seeds of disease, and energy and culture will make them the pride of the land.
UNIFICATION OF SCHOOL SYSTEM.
By PROF. P. D. POLLOCK.
Chairman Faculty. Mercer University.
~fr. President:
Having to supply the place of another on the program, and therefore not having thought out carefully what I should say, I cannot hope to contribute anything of real value to this important discussion. I take this opportunity, however, as chairman of the meeting held yester-

123
day afternoon between representatives from some of ourleading high schools and two of our higher institutions of learning in the State, to report to this body the result of that meeting, not officially or according to instructions, but because it happens to have an important bearing upon the question under discussion. It is gratifying to us all, I am sure, that just before this question of the unification of our school system has come up for discussion, such an important meeting, and one which will be so fruitful in a practical way in bringing about what we desire, in part at least, has already been held; and that the work of harmonizing and unifying has actually begun before the discussion of the question has been reached.
Before giving fhe result of the meeting yesterday aft(~rn(lon, it would be well to call to mind the fact that a meeting of a number of representatives from colleges and universities in the Southern States was held last fall in Atlanta, and an association was formed, known as the "Association of Colleges and Preparatory Schools in the Southern States."
'We had the by-laws of this association before us in our meeting yesterday afternoon. The question was asked the high school representativ.es whether they would co-operate with the 1Jniversity of Georgia, Emory, and -:\lercer in an effort to secure uniform entrance requirements to the freshman class in the three institutions. The response was cordially and unanimously in the affirmative. The further question being asked whether this cooperation would be given if the University of Georgia, Emory, and }lercer should adopt the by-laws of the "Association of Colleges and Preparatory Schools in the Southern States," the by-laws having been read and discussed, the response was again cordially and unanimously Yes. The by-laws that have the most vital relation to this question of uniformity in entrance examinations, leaving out the others, are as follows:
III. The association prescribes the following as minimum requirements for admission to college, the same to be binding on each institution belonging to this asso-
dation.

124
In English-Requirements of the Association of School and Colleges in the Middle States and Marvland.
In History and Geography-United States hist~ry and general geography.
In Mathematics-Arithmetic and algebra through quadratics, or algebra to quadratics, and three books of plain geometry.
In Latin-Four books of Caesar and four orations of Cicero (or their equivalent), with accompanying work in grammar and prose composition.
In Greek-Three books of Xenophon's Anabasis (or equivalent), with accompanying work in grammar and simple prose compo~i.ti()n (operative in '98).
A resolution was adopted by the high school teachers pledging their co-operation in the event that the "Cniversity of Georgia, Emory, and Mercer should, after a conference, adopt the by-laws referred to, and al&lo respectfully recommending such action to the three colleges.
Emory was not represented in the meeting, but we have assurances that the facultJ' of that institution are in sympathy with such a movement.
It is our purpose, those of us from the higher institutions present at this meeting, to call a meeting of the faculties of the three institutions in the early fall and agree upon the adoption of the by-laws read in your hearing. If this is done, other things will be done, and the relation of our high schools to the freshman work in our colleges in the State will no longer be vague or indefinite.
Those of us who have been seeking for something tangible and definite on which certain reforms may be based will then have an opportunity of carrying the work of nnification forward, until at no very distant day the high schools, at least the high schools witb any claims to respectability, will be brought into line with the colleges.
I am aware that many difficulties exist in the high
~chools.
Their courses of study must be arranged for students who never expect to enter college, as well as for those who expect to take a college training.
Our high schools are largely private institutions; but I will leave this phase of "the question to the gentlemen

125
.who are to follow me, and who have papers especially prepared on this subject.
One result we may at least hope to secure. 'Ve can instruct high school teachers, and the people generally, what a boy should study if he expects to go to college, and what he should not study.
For example, we can, by proper effort, those of us whl) are really interested in a system of education in which intelligent discriminations are made, show how if would be worse than a waste of time to that boy who expects to enter college to study chemistry, or geology, in a superficial way, when these studies come in the junior and senior classes in most of our colleges.
\Ye can, when once this intelligent and definite union is established between our colleges and high schools, show our people the difference between a college and a socalled college, and high school and a s()-called high school.
The so-called college is oftentimes in charge of a man with nothing more than a high school training; for the laws are so charitable, 'and some communities so easily imposed upon, that anybody almost can establish a college. Such superficial institutions, teaching and preaching with unscrupulous audacity that a boy or girl is educated and needs nothing more when their course is finished-that their curriculum is as high as any in the land-such institutions, whether so-called college, academy, or high school, are a disgrace to our educational system, a standing shame to intellectual integrity, and a positive blight in the lives of boys and girls who are made to be content with intellectual dishonesty, and who are given a false ideal in education. I have said nothing of our female colleges in this propolied unification.
The University of Georgia is logically the head of om' State school system. Emory's or Mercer's curriculum is practically the same as that of the University of Georgia; hence these three institutions should naturally stand together, do stand together, in fact, in working out a reform in our school system. If our female colleges wish to ,confer and adopt the same requirements for admiiilsion to their freshman classes as those adopted by the University of Georgia, Emory, and Mercer, let them d(~

126

so. It will be hailed with pleasure. If these require-

ments are too high for freshmen, then sophomore, or ju-

nior, or whatever may be agred upon. Any agreement

will define their relation to the high schools, and will

give additional impulse to the movement for unification.

But above all technical or concrete agreements in bring-

ing about such a result is the spiritual element, the warm,

heartfelt sympathy between colleges, preparatory schools,

and common schools. If the college is the head of our

school system, it should, in a larger, higher, and better

sense, be the heart also.

In the history of educatioN the college has, as a rule,

preceded the common schools. Education has been a

process of diffusion downward.

Speaking for my own institution, let me say that we

at Mercer feel that we would be recreant to the great in-

tellectual and spiritual trust reposed in us if we failed

to realize that we sustain a vitalizing, or should sustain

a vitalizing reIation to every grade of work below us;

and in turn that the humblest log cabin with its handful

of precious children and its loving, heroic, but oftentimes

untrained teacher, sustain to us a relation more serious

and vital than we are accustomed to suspect. When

we come to talk of the children, dignities, honors, titles

and positions must be brushed aside as so much rubbish.

It is the greatness of our mission-a mission with heaven

behind it and above it-that must absorb us.

The difference of our work is one of degree only. Work

well done, from the work of the humblest teacher in the

log hut to the work of the chancellor of our State Uni-

versity, is equally honorable.

It is this sympathetic fellowship, this feeling of lov-

ing, helpful comradeship in a divine mission, that mustbe

I'stimated as a determining and regulating force in any

question of unification of our school system that may be

proposed. With this gracions heart-force sweetening and

-guiding our purp0{les of reform, let us hope and work for

a better day for educai.1on in Georgia.

HOW SHALL RURAL SCHOOLS BE IMPROVED? BY THE IMPROVEMENT OF THE TEACHERS THROUGH INSTITUTES.
By PROFESSOR W. T. GAULDEN,
Principal of Albany High School.
The benefit that has come to the State from the rural f'choo18 is incalculable. They have largely contributed to her glory in the past, and, if possible, will exert a gl'l'atel' influence upon her destiny in the future.
Public schools have superseded the schools that formerly flourished underthe patronageof wealthy communitifes. The old-time schools are gone, and are replaced by schools taught by such teachers as the State can secure at the small salaries paid them. These teachers, consciously or unconsciously, need the improvement that Cl\meS almost entirely through institutes.
Teachers teach like they have been taught; hence tradition, heredity, ignorance, and prejudice must be overcome.
Eighty-five per cent. of the average attendance of the children are in country schools, and 90 per cent. of the tt'achers are teaching them.
Greater improvement has been made in primary grades th.lll in any other, and if expert instruction is worth anything', it is of more value in primary grades than in higher grades. Necessity demands that teachers be more thoruughly instructed through institutes how to teach chil~lren during the first two years of their school life, and at least 90 per cent. of the time of the institute should be 'lsed to show how to teach primary grades. Country teacherE' are particularly deficient just here.
Let the conditions of the country school and the needs of tht'ir teachers be studied, and it will be seen that the expert instruction has been too high and has not been ~.ppropriatedby them. This was ilustrated the other day wll.cn a young lady teacher from the country returned from an institute. Being asked by her father how she liked the institute, she replied: "It was too deep for
n'e.~'

128
From 3 to 5 per cent. of these teachers are college grad. l'WtC'f'l. or have even received a normal school training.
",Vhen we consider that the country schools far outnumber the town schools, and that the most potent fac tor to (Ievate them is the improvement of their teachers, and that this, now, if done at all, must be accomplished mainly through institutes, we are forced to the coneIu !;ion that the institutes should be so conducted that they shall result in the greatest good to the country schools.
Since the institute work began there has been great improvement in schools, but the greatest improvement has been in lown schools. The institutes in the past have' been r:ondllcted more for the benefit of town schools than country schools. This has been almost unavoidable. In the COlllltr;v every teacher does more or less primary teaehing. How to get teachers to believe thlt( they can improve their methods and desire to do so is the question. This will depend upon how institutes are conducted. Institutes must be model schools. It is here that the best methods from ~lll l:;ources are made known and transmitted. Here anybody intending to teach may begin teach ing with the rccmnulated experience and methods of the best teachers. "'hat an untold advantage this is to any teacher! In no other way could so much information be massed and made m'aiIable to so large a number. In profitable institutes teachers are hardworked, edified, im-lpired. :Kotl:'S are carefully made; future study and work are ou1IiIH'('!.
The r.rtendance upon institutes is far too voluntary, ~nd the interest manifested in them by some teachers far too little. They will grow in interest and power until no worthy teacher wiII fail to attend them.
The expense of atending them must be minimized. In the selection of experts the greatest care should be taken or they will be a comparative fallure. The selection of experts and place of meeting should be made monfb.s beforehand.. The test of a successful institute is to find the teachers using the methods taught. When Demosthenes delivered his oration against Philip the people did not say what a beautiful oration, but rushed into the -streets, saying.

129
"Philip must be resisted." So teachers will be found saying, "Wrong methods must be discarded."
1'he time will soon come, if it has not already come, when, if teachers do not improve their methods, they will be willfully ignorant or criminally negligent, and their employment by the board of education will be a deliberate imposition upon a trusting public.
A PLEA FOR STATE AID TO SECONDARY EDUCATION.
By M. L: BRITTAIN,
Boys' High School, Atlanta, Ga.
1 am glad to have the privilege of discussing this question, for in common with many of you, I have thought long and earnestly about the condition, educationally speaking, of our State. I have watched with increasing pleasure the earnest and helpful efforts of our distinguished State ichool Commissioner, and I wish to say at the outset that Georgia has never had a better one. It is sometimes said that the teachers of the city systems are not in close touch and sympathy with their comrades throughout the State, know little of their needs and care less about them. This should not be true in any case, and that it is not so, generally speaking, one need only refer, among others, to such teachers as Superintendents Ashmore and Evans, whose work among the teachers of Georgia is widely known and appreciated. Besides this, patriotism alone should force Georgians to work together for the educational advancement of our land, and relying on this feeling in our hearts, I shall discuss a manifest need in our State. This, to state it bluntly, is to complete the State system of education by stopping up the ragged gap which exists between her common school course and the doors of her colleges; to consider the advisability of establishing at least one good high school in every county in the State, so that it may be possible for any child to have access to the knowledge which is so freely given in a few more favored cities in Georgia.
gs!,

1:)0
Of course, there would be objections; many would take away the money now gin'n by the State to primary education.
First, then, let us consider the question of need. Statistics show that Georgia gives two-thirds as manv days' tuition, one-third as much money per pupil, an'd oI~e fourth as much salar.r to the teacher as the New England States. These same Xorthern States have about 1 or 2 per cent. of illiteracy. Georgia has 40; most of it being among the negroes, but more than ten out of everv one hundI:ed white men in our State can neither read nor write.
It would pY'Obably be granted, then, that Gporgia can and ought to give more aid to education. How apply it? Not merely inerease the sum now paid to primary education, nor trust solely to supplementing State aid, though that is to be required alS the magnificent work done by Bibb, Chatham, and Richmond counties would demonstrate. But Georgia ought to establish at least one good high school in everyone of her 137 eounties. The educational ladder is broken in two in the middle, free tuition at both ends-the university and the common school. President Canfield says that is, properly speaking, no State system at all which fosters primary schools, abandons the seeondary work to cities, and leaves the State colleges on stilts-separated from the great mass of the people for whose benefit it was intended.
In many counties in Georgia there is little or no secondary instruction.
Need some sueh plan as that adopted by Minnesota. That State gives $400 to one school in evel'J" county which has a course the satisfactory completion of which would admit the pupil to the State university. The school is stimulated by State control; the county has at least one good school of high grade; the child is able to prepare himself for college, and if unable to go there is far better equipped for citizenship. This plan would not require a large addition to the present State tax, and would more than pay for itself from the increased power and efficiency resulting to the primary schools. One negro university in this State has more money, more educational

131
<equipment, than all three of our leading male collegesMercer, Emory, and Athens-put together.
Hence our people are blind, indeed, if they do not see the necessity of aiding the Anglo-Saxon children of the State, to whom this country belongs, in the effort to free themselves from ignorance.
Since the earliest years of the republic it has been the settled policy of the States to provide not merely primary, but also secondary and even university training. Adams, )ladison, and Jefferson so believed, and if the selfish consideration that they would be taxed to educate the children of their neighbors ever occurred to them it must have been quickly overcome by the reflection that life and property would be rendered more safe by thus educating the "barbarism out of the people." The high schools should be increased and their courses enriched, for in no other way can we lay so deeply and durably the foundations of republican civilization. "Remember," says Lord Bacon, "that the learning of the few is despotism, but the learning of the many is liberty."
"THE SCHOOL IN ITS RELATION TO CITIZENSHIP.
By CHANCELLOR W. E. BOGGS,
Of State University.
The conception of government held by the fathers of cour Federal Constitution and embodied in the fundamental laws of the States whose independence had just been wrested from the mother country, 'was in many respects strangely unlike that which their descendants regard as axiomatic. Democracy did not exist. The idea of entrusting important interests of the State to the suffrage of an ignorant and irresponsible populace, would have been scouted as madness. The rich, the wellborn, the able and cultured were expected to take and hold the lead in public affairs, and wield the destinies of States and Union. The acepted principle of republican government was that there should be a limited number of voters following the lead of experienced statesmen of

132
. a higher social class. "The prevalent conception," savs.
an authoritative writer, "of popular opinion, was that it was aggressive, revolutionary, unreasoning, passionate, futile, and a breeder of mob violence." Evervwhere we find eligibility to office and the right of sUffr~ge hedged in by property qualifications and guarded by other restrictions. There seemed little chance of the dangerous, masses overriding these barriers. The State governors were appointed by legislatures, themselves chosen bv the responsible possessors of landed property. The president was intended to be placed beyond popular whim by the device of the electoral college; and even presidential electors were, in a majority of States, chosen by the legislatures, not by the few qualified voters. Similar restrictions guarded every important point.
Alexander Hamilton and the ultra-federalists carried these views to an extreme; but even their opponents tacitly and practically accepted the principle of government by the better classes, and the democratic theories; of Jefferson and his followers were little more than prophetic dreams. Political leaders down to the administration of Jackson were nurtured in a school of thought based upon and closely resembling European models. They were in a sense old-world statesmen. And the excesses of the French revolution had bred a deep-rooteddistrust of the supremacy of the masses. But the tide was setting more and more strongly in the direction of true democracy. As the western territory was gradually subdued by hardy frontiersmen, reared in a different atmosphere from the polished statesmen of the colonial school, new States were formed which entered the Union under constitutions providing broader suffrage and more direct influence of popular vote. The reaction upon the older States was inevitable. Change after change was, wrought in the earlier forms of government, sometimes by constitutional amendment, sometimes by the adoption of entirely new constitutions, and again by broader interpretation of existing laws. Every alteration was a stride toward universal suffrage and popular sovereignty. Outpost after outpost of the conservative and traditional order fell before the gathering forces <J.f the people, until at length the vigorous young democracy of the west arose'

133
in its might and swept awa;y forever the old regime in the political revolution that put Andrew Jackson in the -chair of 'Washington and :Madison and Monroe. Jackson was the very incarnation of the spirit of western democracy. He was not a theorist. But actions speak louder than words; and time and again Jackson proclaimed in the imperious, forceful acts of his administration that his democracy was of a very different type from Jefferson's..Jefferson believed, indeed, in the sound, good sense of the people in the long run. They would, of 'course, make mistakes; but self,interest would soon lead to their correction. Local autonomy, under a strict interpretation of the constitution, he strongly advocated. The right of separate local communities to govern themselves was the principle upon which he insisted. But he would have stood aghast at Jackson's practical assertion that large majorities of the whole people could 'override the constitution or interpret it at Will; could give himself, as their representative and spol{jesman, the power to read into the fundamental law what meaning he saw fit, to defy the constituted authority of the 'Supreme Conrt, to take arbitrary control of the country's 'finances. So long as the voice of the people upheld his 'eondnct and policy, Jackson believed it constitutional; and he took his overwhelming victories at the polls as a triumphant vindication of his principles. All this meant far more than Jefferson would have bargained for. It meant an elastic constitution; it meant nationality; it 'meant in a very real sense the sovereignty of the people.
The pmver of the ballot so vigorously asserted under this great leader of the people has become more effective 'and formidable from practical experience in the methods of organizing and combining vast bodies of voters, and 'from a gradually increasing consciousness on the part of the masses of their own strength.
]\'ot only in America has democracy thus triumphantly asserted its sway. In England, from 1689 to 1832, political power was possessed exclusively by the wealthy and aristocratic. In the latter year a political revolution took place, which admitted the middle classes to a share <Df power. Popular agitation continued until the Reform

134
Act of 1867 extended the suffrage to the laboring classes,_ with a few remaining restrictions, and even these were' swept away in 1884-5. France became a demoeraey on the overthrow of the second empire, though she has not yet been able to assimilate thoroughly popular institutions. In all the other leading nations of Europe except Russia, great advanees were made toward constitutional liberty in the waves of politieal revolution that swept oyer the continent in 1830 and 1848; the people are steadily gaining in power and intiuence; and the ultimate ascendency of democratic principles is probably only a question of time.
This sovereignty of the people, which finds its highest development in England and Ameriea, is something new in the history of the world. The so-called democracies of Greece were based on slaYery; the produeing class, the real majority, had no part whatever in the goyernment. Nor can the city republics of Ital,v be called democracies in the modern sense. The situation is an entirely new one. '1'he conditions attending the eve of the twentieth century are utterly without precedent or parallel. \Ve are passing into a new epoch. The transitio'l' is full of danger and diffieulty. \Vhat the ultimate tendency of demoeracy may be, is a problem of the gravest moment.
In the United States we have reached a point when the destiny of the repUblic, for weal or woe, depends upoa the power of the great body of the people to choose bl:tween right and wrong; to discriminate bet\veen the false prophet and demagogue who would lead the nation into paths of dishonor, and the true statesman who can perceive the conditions of prosperity and glory. The questions, social and economic, which confront us in the present generation, and which must ultimately be decided by the voiee of the people, are so vital, so momentous, that this epoch may be regarded as unique in the world's history. 'rhe tremendous industrial revolution wrought withi~ the past eentury by the utilization of the power of steam, and by the wonderful series of mechanical inventions that followed it, has given rise to totally new eonditions of produetion and of society. Our civi-

135
lization" has not yet adjusted itself to them. Signs of ehange and ferment are all around us. The diseontent of the laboring masses with the present distribution of wealth, with their share in the produets of industry, is wide-spread, is deep, is inereasing. They have been taught to eonsider themselves defrauded and oppressed. The ballot is in their hands, and they are beginning to realize their power. 'I'here is grave danger that the saered rights of property, the corner-stone of our eiyilization, may be disregarded and violated. Everywhere the ranks of the soeialists are gaining reeruits in their attaek upon the rights of property and even upon the family institution, the very foundation of our soeiet~. The advoeates of land nationalization, the single tax party, who propose the eonfiscation of all property in land, are gaining in numbers and strength under the able leadership of Henry George and his lieutenants. In every large eity in the eountry aetive branehes of their organization may be found, busily disseminating their dangerous and insidious doetrines.
In lesser degree, but perhaps for that very reason with more danger to the country, labor organizations and trades-unions are becoming indoetrinated with ideas hostile to the conservative interests of society. Special legislation is demanded in their interest. It is urged as a right that the State should intervene in industrial affairs, to secure higher wages, shorter hours, and assured employment. Doetrines even more distinetly soeialistie are often avowed, while the labor press is full of them.
Legislation in many parts of the eountry begins to exhibit a tendeney to override the rights of property-a tendency whieh is doubtless a reflex of the general soeialistie agitation. Proposals to abolish inheritance, heavy inheritanee taxes, progressive ineome taxes, and similar measures openly aimed at property, are frequently advo(:ated, and oeeasionally enaeted into law. In lesser degree the growing disregard for the rights of property is manifested by frequent legislation for special interests, by lax bankruptcy laws, by the reckless and exorbitant appropriations of our reeent eongresses, by the iniquities

136
of our tariff laws, and by the popular favor with which any scheme for cheap money is received.
If this downward tendency is not soon arrested, if the policy of class legislation and the confiscation of property under forms of law be not branded and repudiated by the sound sense and integrity of the people, the deluge that will sweep away our most cherished institutions and land us ultimately in the chaos of socialism, may unerringly be predicted. The masses of the proletariat have in the ballot a giant's strength; if they become accustomed to override the claims of justice, or to look upon them with distorted vision, they will tyrannously use that strength as a giant.
Kot only in our own country has this danger to democracy assumed alarming proportions. The progress of the radical social democrats in Germany and the pressure of their extravagant demands are taxing the conservative forces of the empire to their utmost. In England, the philosophical historian, Lecky, in his recent book on democracy, sounds a note of warning that is almost a despairing wail. There the whim of the majority, when voiced in the house of commons, becomes the supreme law of the land. Ko constitutional restraints interpost~ a saving barrier. And the sullen multitude of the laboring classes, permeated with socialistic teachings, indignant in the belief of injustice done them, eager with the sense of impending change, and powerful in organization and leadership, seem perilously neal' the point of asserting themselves and entering headlong upon the work of demolition.
Lecky considers our own institutions in les" imminent danger, owing to the check which our written constitutions impose upon radical legislation. But no one who has observed the way in which our fundamental law can be interpreted and distorted, will find in this argument much ground for comfort. As Mr. Bryce has well said, our lawyers and judges have had so much experience in dealing with questions of constitutional conflict and ultra vires legislation that they now handle them with amazing dexterity. Moreover, our constitutions themselves

137
are not of cast iron, nor calculated long to withstand the purpose of a determined majority. It is, indeed, the essence of our institutions that the people must have their way.
Here i~ where the inestimable value of the school, in its relation to citizenship, is to be discerned. The people must, indeed, have their way; the voice of the nation mnst control; and the safety and life of the nation demand that some powerful influence be exerted to make ii s citizens worthy of their privileges and their duties. Here is found the imperative necessity for adequate public education. No other agency can accomplish the task. Private instruction is restricted to the favored few. The dmrch has done much as a moral and restraining force; but its influence with the great masses most in need of enlightenment is limited and is weakening. The alienation of the laboring class from the churches in all the great centers of industry is one of the grave elements of the situation. It is a problem with which the churches themselves are vainly struggling. The public schools alone can be depended upon to reach the masses of the people through the rising generation. Elementary as the education imparted must in most cases be, it may be made sufficient to stamp upon the pupil the characteristics of useful American citizenship, and so diffuse throughout even the least instructed classes a comprehension of our government and public affairs, a soundness of judgment, and interest in national welfare. This must be the hope of the nation. Every pupil should be taught to feel himself a part of the government, bound by duty as well as self-interest to devote a part of his time and thoughts to it. For the American citizen is virtually one of the governors of the republic. Issues are decided and rulers selected by direct popular vote. Elections are so frequent that to do his duty at them a citizen ought to be constantly watching public affairs with a full comprehension of the principles involved in them, and a carefully considered judgment of the candidates. Of course, the instruction actually received in the public schools cannot fit the voter to weigh the real

138
merits of statesmen, and to discern the true grounds on which questions ought to be dedded. But it can make him capable of playing his part in the navigation of the ship of state; can give him the interest and sense of responsibility that will lead him to take an active part at the polls. It can teach him to attempt, at least. to weigh questions of public policy on their merits, and warn him against the arts of the demagogue and I!olitical agitator.
'l'his is enough to insure a suflieient degree of publie safety. 'rhe native Ameriean has a fund of common sense and natural shrewdness that will prevent him from being led far astray on any subject to which he gives his thought and attention. It is the apathy that keeps men away from the polls, and causes them to remain in ignorance of the issues at stake, that gives the demagogue his chanee. It is this fatal inertia that allows an active and organized body of agitators to carry the day, and so often permits corrupt rings and "bosses" to plunder the publie treasury at will. Here lies the main soun'e of the danger of the triumph of political heresies and socialistic fallades. Our people, as a whole, have a keen sense of justice and honesty; they are an intelligent people, moral and well-conducted; kindly, humorous, hopeful. They are a hard-working, impressionable, and for all their tendency to movement and change, a conservative people, with unbounded faith in the institutions of their country. If ever alert and on their guard, our government and institutions would be secure. 'l'he subversive and insidious doctrines imported into our land by foreign malcontentH could not long survive the continuous applieation of their vigorous minds and rugged good sense. But there is be yond question throughout all dasses of our people a dangerous neglect of serious thought upon all public affairH, econom1e and social, as well as political. Absorbed in the busyroundof their private, commerdal, and industrial life, they are prone to take hasty, superfieial, and seeondhand views of even the most important publie questions. Sustained thinking, patient investigation of facts and principles: practically does not exist, perhaps is hardly to be expected. A Rense of the lack of time, a feeling

139
that it is the business of some one else, is the half-conscious excuse that keeps the average citizen from giving proper attention to questions that may vitally affect his eountry and his interests. To this is due the vitality of popular prejudices and fallacies that would hardly bear serious examination. Opinion makes opinion. Men follow in the paths which they see others treading. And eurious as it may seem, the most violent partizanship may spring into existenee in this way. The iteration of ill-eonsidered and second-hand impressions, by some strange psyehology, eonfirms opinion. And as Judge Rleckley has said, men are most insistent and bitter in <:auses of which they are most ignorant. If the tide of socialism ever submerges our fair land and its institutions, this eause will be largely responsible.
'Ve have emphasized the need of an intelligent citizenship to avoid the most dangerous pitfalls in the path of demoeraey. There are tasks for the sehools, in their work of training their eharges for citizenship, which are scarcely less important. Our nation has worked out a delicate balance between eentral and local governments that is a new and admirable thing under the sun. Political seience has had to invent for it the new theory of divided sovereignty. The extent to which local self-government has been attained and made eonsistent with national power and dignity, is the erowning glory of the system-the chief blessing of the people, and the guarantee of liberty. Yet history holds out to us an ominous warning. A steady and irresistible drift toward eentralization has characterized the course of even- federal State. Signs of this fatal tendency are by no mean:,; lacking in our own development. Every studeht should be taught to enter upon his duties as a eitizen firm in his determination to resist every encroaehment on the right:,; of the States, and every diminution of the powers of local government. Eternal vigilance is the price of freedom.
An opposite danger threatens from the unrestricted growth of "trusts" and large corporations controlling public franehises, and conducting businesses upon whieh public interests are dependent. The tyranny of a private

140
monopoly is worse than that of a government. Experience and reason alike demonstrate that all such enterprises, classified by economists as "natural monopolies," must be controlled in the interests of the people by the government-national, State, or local. No small part of the corruption which has disgraced our large cities and our State legislatures has been due to the influence of such corporations. Their control by government is not :socialistic; it is not paternalism; it is necessary to protect the interests of the people, and to preserve real freedom of competition.
The condition of our State legislatures throughout the Fnion is another subject calling for radical reform, and the earupst attention of good citizens. Look in the mil'i'or held up to us by MI'. Bryce in his "American Commonwealth," and see the picture which our legislatures 1'1'\2SI.'11 t to an impartial observer. Note their incompeh'nce, their narrowness, their greed, their corruption in special legislation, the shameless bargains and log-rollin;! of their lobbies, the number and recklessness of thei1' bills, their total disregard of the higher and permanent in11:l'Cst8 of State, and you will cease to wondel' that each 11ew State constitution throws additional restl'lCtions vround them, and that business men begin to breathe freely only when the legislature has adjourned. Jl'or1uIla[::Jy, in Georgia and in the South, we He better off in this respect than most of the country; bu t even here, where lobbying is branded by the State constitution as felony, the Kimball house lobby enjoys a notoriety which has extended even to Europe.
The maintenance and extension of civil service reform is a subject on which the schools should speak with no uncertain sound. The next generation should be encouraged to work its adoption in State and municipal, as well as in national affairs. Nothing has done more to corrupt the politics of our country, to misdirect and dissipate the energies of public officers, to obscure the high aims of political parties, to create a greedy class of professional politicians, and to lessen the active interests of citizens in public affairs, than the system

141
which regards public office as the spoils of victoQ'. There is, unfortunately, more truth than humor in that cynical parody of a noble sentiment, "public office is a private snap." The spoils system is especially hard to get rid of, because the very conditions that put men in office make it trebly difficult for them to inaugurate the reform. The incubus has long resisted the steady condemnation of public opinion. Every good citizen should exert his most strenuous efforts to free our country from this blight and stigma.
Another sentiment which the schools might well instill, is the duty of a manly independence and loyalty to principle. So often is the doctrine of party allegiance urged, that many are found willing to sacrifice their personal convictions to party success. This is wrong in itself, and unfortunate for the welfare of the country. There is in a democracy a tendency to believe that as the majority rules, the majority must be right. There is grave danger in the hesitation of the minority to assert its views. The crystallization of public opinion demands full and free discussion. The majority has often erred; and the voice of even a small minority, pointing out clearly and persistently the true path, is often a saving power.
The work of the schools in promoting good citizenship will be immeasurably assisted by the definite study of civics as a part of their curriculum. The great desirability of this study will hardly be questioned. Neither the federal nor the State constitutions should be neglected, but of the two the local government offers a far more quickening and important study. It will give the pupil a clear conception of the forms of government immediately surrounding him. It will teach him to observe i1nd take an interest in local elections and politics, that will lay a good foundation for active citizenship in the future. The State constitution should be made familiar to him by frequent reference and discussion. A freshness and reality can be found in the local study, and an interest created, that is impossible with the more remote subject of federal institutions. Moreover, the State

142
is really the authority most important to him in all the affairs of his daily life. "An American," says Mr. Bryce, "may, through a long life, never be reminded of the federal government except when he votes at presidential and congressional elections, lodges a complaint against the post-office, and opens his trunks for a custom-house officer on the pier at New York when he returns from a tour in Europe. His direct taxes are paid to officials acting under State laws. The State, or a local authority constituted by the State statutes, registers his birth, appoints his guardian, pays for his schooling, gives him a share in the estate of his father, deceased, licenses him when he enters a trade (if it be one needing a license), marries him, divorces him, entertains ciyil actions against him, declares him a bankrupt, hangs him for murder. The police that guard his house, the local boards which look after the poor, control highways, impose water-rates, manage schools-all these derive their legal power from the State alone." Could a stronger argument be put for the study of State and local institutions in the State schools?
The neglect of such instruction in Georgia is almost total. After five years' experience in the State University. I can safely assert that, while a few of those who enter its halls are fairly acquainted with the forms of the federal government, not one in a hundred has ever seen a copy of the constitution of his State. This is a reproach to our schools which should no longer be suffered to exist. Georgia has a right to demand that the system of public education which she supports shall produce citizens well instructed in her institutions and prepared for loyal service. Surely, the Georgia Teachers' Association, whose initiative and efforts have accomplished so much for the cause of education in the State, may be confidently expected to effect so important a reform.
There is one broad aspect of the relation of the school to citizenship which, perhaps, hardly falls within the scope of such a paper as this, and yet can scarcely be passed over by one who has the interests of the State at heart. The great commonwealth of Georgia holds

143
out to its sons boundless opportunities for wealth and happiness. In extent the largest State east of the Mississippi, it is scarcely exceeded by the combined area of all Xew England. Fertile and productive in soil, its climate and elevation are so varied that there are few crops or fr.uits which cannot be made to yield abundant harvests. Granite and marble quarries, and rich mineral deposits, await development in the hills and mountains of the Xorth. Xumerous rivers afford convenient transport and enormous water-power. The raw materials of manufacture are at hand in abundance. One condition only must be fulfilled before the people enter upon the full enjoyment of this rich inheritance. Education, liberal and widely diffused, must banish ignorance and its attendant sloth and lack of enterprise from the land. 1'he people must be awakened to the importance, the real meaning of education. The proportion of public revenue devoted to the schools may look large in the State budget. Hut what of that? It is not benevolence; it is not char. it,\'. It is an investment yielding rich and abundant returns. Let it be doubled and quadrupled, and the wealth and prosperity of the State will increase in a far greater ratio. Higher education should receive an equal support, and for similar reasons. 'fhe poliey that leaves the time-honored university of the State to struggle along as best it may on federal bounty, is shortsighted and injurious to the people's permanent interests. Michigan, \Yiseonsin, California, have reaped in <-.dual increase of material wealth a manifold return for every sum expended in the support of their great universities. It is, perhaps, hard for the people, looking only at one side of the question-the burden of taxation-to realize their own good. Let it be the part of the sehools to enforce the lesson. Let them send forth each veal' an increasing number of graduates, well instrueted in the duties of citizenship, having the true interests of the State at heart, and prepared by their edueation and discipline to take a leading part in the active affairs of life. Continue and extend the organization of the edueational forees of the State, as this admirable associa-

144
tion is doing at present. It is a consecrated work-the most valuable that could be done to-day for our people and our State. To such influences chiefly must we look for the upbuilding of a body of earnest and intelligent citizens, whose energy and efforts shall develop the rich resources of the land, and enable Georgia to tak.e her proper place among the most opulent and powerful States of the Union.

SUPERVISION OF STATE SCHOOLS.
SY~OPSIS OF A PAPER READ BEFORE THE GEORGIA TEACHERS' ASSOCIATION AND ASSOCIATION OF COUNTY SCHOOL COMMISSIONERS, BY HON. J. H. ROBERTS, COUNTY SCHOOL COMMISSIONER OF BURKE COUNTY.
This paper briefly outlines the spirit and scope of closer supervision of our State schools.
We recognize the necessity of a combined and thorough supervision of school work from the county seat to remotest bounds of the district; yet, with the meager pay attached to the office of commissioner such oversight must be partial and unsatisfactory. "For who goeth a warfare at his own charge?" So we are embarrassed in presenting a paper, which, to an extent, must be theory only; however, some of us are trying to reduce that theory to practice. \Vhen the State becomes really in earnest about her schools, a wise provision will be made for an effective superintendency.
Accepting the needs of a directing head-master, still at the outset we enter a protest against excessive, and especial!y against ill-natured oversight. Between a teacher and his superintendent there should be cordial sympathy and co operation. Too often the independence of the former becomes a negative quantity, his individuality is lost in the all-absorbent qualities of certain sponge-like superintendents. A fatal error is this; for after all, personality is the effective force in education. Whatever of manhoou distinguishes an instructor must leave its lasting impress upon pupils. Learning however extensive, methDds however perfect, can never accomplish the great work which marks the magnetic teacher.

147
Emerson says: "He teaches who gives, and he learns who receives. There is no teaching until the pupil is brought into the same state or principle in whiC'h you are. A tram;fusion takes place: you are he, and he is you."
Again a supervision that is eternally correcting teachers, forcing them without an unquestioned authority to accept views against their judgment, demands the removal of such superintendent.
This protest against unwise oversight is by no means an iuterdict of proper authority in directing school work. It is a clear duty under the law to correct errors, and to enforce directions in methods of instruction and discipline. All this can be effected without giving offense. The spirit {)f supervision should be that wh ich ever marks the courteous officer. His conduct should clearly show that his w01,k is everything, while he. himself is a minister, as opposed to magister-if you permit this derivation of the term. Neither does this bring into q'lestion his authority. He is in charge of the schools, and must have courage, if needs be, to use a " scourge of small cords" ill driving out those, who by their unworthy presence, defile the temple {)f learning.
A n extended oversight will see to it that the school buildings and premises are in ,prime condition before commencing a term. All arrangements which health, comfort, ~nd decency demand should be made before" opening day." To be more particular, this includes a thorough cleansing of the schoolrooms, making them inviting by a breath of sweetness j cutting and clearing away all rank weeds and undergrowth, thus opening pleasant play grounds; cleansing the well, that pure water may be abundant j providing decent and separate water-closets, hid from view and at remote distances. Then, too, an abundant supply of dry fuel, ready cut, and stored in sheds near by would give surety of perfect comfort in severest weather. At best

148
most buildings used for onr public schools are simply disgraceful. They invite disorder, encourage irregularity iu attendance; and, to a large extent, counteract and neutralize best work of wise teachers.
Certain objectionable mannerism of teachers now and then demands judiciouscorrection; for these faults heavily discount teaching otherwise acceptable. It is certainly true that children are more susceptible than grown persons to the influetlCe of harsh tones. In some it excites a proper rebellious spiritin others, distracting alarm, even terror. Well-nigh nlI can testify to the soothing effect of a rich, full, yet unforced voice, that renders some ministers so attractive, while the shrill, penetrating, noisy tones of others explain the fact of so many unoccupied pews. Such confusing tones in a ~choolroom are destructive of all attempts at instruction. "Voice is, in a measure, like type-a medium for conveying thought: it should be a clearmeans to an end, not a hindrance."
Again, a manner a li~tle short or mildness occasionally noted at school, calls for the taming power of a superintendent. It is generally styled "snap," a flippant word, and is regarded by the rude as a mark of superiority. This term is exceedingly distasteful to us, while that which it represents is simply execrable. All such nervous mannerism but caricatures praiseworthy energy. It expends its force in froth, leaving not behind the remnant of reserve power.
Then, too, the talking teacher needs to learn, that" silence is golden." A wise teacher in the schoul is a treasure, but the garrulous, yarn-spinning pedagogue is a first-class nuisance. Happy the teacher who knows what to say, who can always have willing hearers, who is wise enough to see when children are instructed, and then-stop.
We realize that a supervision that takes cognizance of dress is a delicate matter. Of course, there is no demand

149
for expensi ve dress; indeed, in the schoolroom such would be manifestly in had form. Still an untidy apparel, or one distracting by its ludicrous appearance, calls for a quiet correction, if not rebuke. For the personal appearance of a teacher is more potent than mere words. "My teacher" is enthroned in the heart of many a child as the idea of all that is beautiful and of good report.
Of supervision in discipline a wide field opens : We can here submit a few statements conveying class teaching on this line. Without discussion. we affirm, that" Solomon's rod" has no place in a schoolroom. Childrerr bring joy and gladness into the school; a wise teacher can utilize this natural cheerfulness for best educational ends. As a rule, such natural outburst is both rebuked and punished. Often the schoolroom is even funereal under a severe discipline. Children move noiselessly and speak in subdued tones, awed into silence by that teacher who is the death of happy child-life. All this is so unnatural, and therefore so, false. Let all control of the school be true to life; for the love or distrust of the you~g heart is dependent upon whether there is ever present a sweet, natural, loving human presence responsive to every play of thought and emotion which does not violate good morals and good order. Guided thus by a strong, yet gentle hand, discipline is truer, more uplifting, and our instruction the more effective and valuable than when under the sting of the'lash or the dominion of fear.
Finally, closer supervision contemplates approved and sound methods of instruction: It must secure such skillful work on the part of teachers and pupils in the prescribed" elementary branches of an English education" as will lay a deep and sure foundation for any more extended course of study which private enterprise or the State may provide. Such thorough instruction in the several subjects taught a common school was indicated somewhat at length

150
in this paper. As the vast majority of the youth of Georgia end their school days in a "poor man's college "-as the venerable Dr. Gustavus J. Orr said-a State common school, a rigid and wise supervision should see to it that these colleges of the commonwealth shall yearly send forth their graduates equipped for a fairly intelligent life.

152
fund has been to the State. Dr. Curry, the present general agent of the fund, makes occasional visits to Georgia in the interest of the great cause that lies so near to his heart. His visit last .rear to his nativ~ coupt.r of Lincoln was an educational inspiration to the people of that s(~ction of the State. Dr. Curry is himself a great eduea tional force. He has given the larger part of his life to the study of the educational problem. He has writlyn and spoken in almost all of the States in the l:'nion on the educational question. His recent volume, "The Southern States of the American Union," a new school history, is a book-making epoch in the South. His speech in February at the meeting of the State superintendents at Jacksonville, Fla., was one of the most statesmanlike u~terallces ever heard in the South.
'rhe sincere prayer of the friends of education every~-here is that Dr. Gurry may be spared many years yet to go up and down over our waste places and make his doqllent appeal in behalf of the salvation of the children.
'1'lwt part of the fund which he gave to Georgia for the colored people was devoted to institute work during tll(' ~:ummer. Institutes of one month's duration were held at "Madison, Marietta, Marshallville, Albany, and Valdosta. About half of the colored teachers in the State aHended these five institutes, showing a great eagerness in th(' colored people to take advantage of the opportuniiy offered them for professional study.
A detf,iled statement of the work of these iqstitutes will be found in another place in this report. Elsewhere will also be found the new rules governing the appointment of the Peabody scholarship at Nashville. Georgia htls now twenty scholarships under the new apportionment, instead of twenty-two as hitherto.

PEABODY SCHOLARSHIPS-HOW' THEY ARE DISTRIBUTED, ETC.

1. The intent of the Peabody Board of Trust in estab-

1i.~hing these scholarships in the Normal College is to af

feet public education in the South through a high grade

of professionally educated teachers.

1. The realization of this intent implies, on the part

of teachers, high moral aims; natural aptness to teach;

ar; education of the liberal type; a knowledge of the his-

tory, theory, and art of education; and the pursuit of

teaching as a vocation.

II. A Peabody scholarship is worth $100 a year and

the student's railroad fare from his home to Nashville

and return by the most direct route, and is good for two

;veal's. The college year consists of eight months, begin-

ning on the first '''~ednesday in October and closing on

the last \Vednesday in May, and scholarship students reo

{'pive from the president of the college $25 on the last

days of October, December, February, and April.

1. No payment will be made except for time of actual

Httendance.

2. Seholarships will be withdrawn from students who

allow bills for board to go unpaid.

:3. Seholarships will be forfeited for partial or irregular

flUendanee.

.

4. So far as possible railroad tickets will be sent to

students before leaving their homes, but students who

do not reeeive tiekets will be repaid their railroad fare

""ithin one month after entranee; and return tiekets will

be if'.sued just previous to the close of the session in May.

fo'iudents who leave the eollege before the dose of the

term will not be paid their return fare. Railroad fare to

]\; ashville will be paid only twice on the same scholarship.

HI. These seholarships are distributed to the several

Potates by the general agent, and their award to students

h; vested in him; but for convenience of administration

thiH award is delegated to the State superintendents in


154
conjunction with the president of the college. The whole number of scholarships is now 204, and they are dis tributed as follows:
Alabama, 17; Arkansas, 17; Florida, 8; Georgia, 22; Lousiana, 12; Mississippi, 13; North Carolina, 20; South Carolina, 12; Tennessee, 33; Texas, 20; Virginia, 18; \, est Virginia, 12.
1. New apportionment of scholarships.. The general agent has made a new distribution of scholarships to take effect July 1, 1897.
Alabama, 16; Arkansas, 17; Florida, 8; Georgia, 20; louisiana, 13; Mississippi, 14; North Carolina, 19; South ("arolina, 13; '1'ennessee, 33; Texas, 21; Virginia, 18; West Yirginia, 12.
2. No State can claim scholarships as a right. They arc gifts from the Peabody Board of Trust, and as such the ratio of their distribution, as well as their amount, may be changed, or they may be withheld altogether.
3. At the close of each college year the president will notif.v State superintendents of the vacancies that are to be filled in their respective States for the ensuing college year, and send thenames and standing of non-scholarship students who are deemed worthy of scholarship appointments. If the president's nominations are not acted 011 within two weeks after they are forwarded, his nomine('S will be enrolled as scholarship students.
4. 1f appointees do not report at the college promptly a t the opening of the year, or do not render a satisfactory exCUse for their absence, their places will be declared vacant.
IV. In the award of scholarships, precedence is to be given to students who have been in the college for one ,~r more years, at their own expense, and have there given proof of their fitness for the vocation of teaching.
1. In ease there are more vacancies than can be filled in the manner just stated, resort should be made to coml'('iitive examination.
2. \Vhen State superintendents cannot conduct these compl'i-itive examinations in person, they should be carefill to delegate this duty to competent hands.

1.55
:t Only two years of scholarship aid will be given to
the same student. V. FOJ' the purpose of securing to all applicants a uni-
fOl'm baf'is of competition, the questions for examination will be prepared by the president of the college, and sent to tIle State superintendents for distribution to the examiners whom they may appoint,
1. 't'he next competitive examination will be held on July 21 and 22, 1896.
~. Tltef'e questions, with specific instructions for their use, should be sent to the examiners in sealed envelopes, which are not to be opened till the hour for examination bas come.
3. Each competitor should be required to return the lisu; (If printed questions to the examiners as soon as the answers have been written.
\' T. The qualifications for becoming a competitor for 11 scho!nrship are as follows: The applicant must not be ]I:SS than seventeen years of age, nor more than thirty; of il're(Jl'cachable moral character; in good health; with no physical defects, eccentricities, or habits which would iutel'fel'e with success in teaching; and must make a pledge of intent to teach for at least two years after graduation.
1. The task'of the examillers will be simplified by makjug a I:reHminary examination, as suggested above. Good l,ealth is all indispensable qualification. Any candidate who lws any chronic affection, such as weak lungs, or w('ak eyes, should be rejected at once,
2, 'I'he lllie of tobacco in any form is a disqualification f(II' a scholarship.
8. If it should appear that a candidate intends to use ~is scholarship chiefly as a means of securing an education, or of ultimately preparing himself for some professi(.n other than teaching, he should not be allowed to r:ompde.
L Pcrsons of sluggish or indolent temperament, of fl]()\"('n:y habits, or of vicious disposition, should be rejected at once.
5, "\Vhen a choice must be made between a young man and a young woman whose examination papers are of

156
qual merit, the ;young man should be preferred. This iH not intended to discriminate against ;young women as such; but it is thought that ;young men will be more likely to continue the vocation of teaching.
6. As fitness for teaching involves other qualities besides scholarship, students will be excused from attendance when it becomes apparent that they have habits or elements of character incompatible with the teacher's office.
VII. The minimum literary qualifications required of all students matriculating for a degree are as follows:
A. English Studies.-1. English grammar. 2. English composition. 'fhe books prescribed for examination in 1896 are Shakespeare's ~Ierchant of Venice, Emerson's American Scholar. For 1897 those prescribed are Irving's Tales of a Traveler; George Eliot's Silas Marner; Scott's 'Voodstock.
These are to be found well edited, with introductions, in Longman's series of English Classics.
B. United States History. C. Geography, complete. D. Mathematics.-1. Arithmetic, complete. 2. Elementary Algebra, complete. 3. Geometry, two books (Wentworth's). E. Latin.-Beginner's Latin Book; Collar's Gate to Caesar; or equivalents. 1. In the main, the examinations should be written, but certain intellectual qualities can best be tested in the oral way. 2. The ability to think and reason is of more importance than mere attainment of facts and rules. General intelligence and brightness may offset some deficiencies in mere book learning. 3. Good breeding, politeness, and a pleasant manner should be counted in a candidate's favor. VIII. A scholarship is good for any two consecutive years-that is, for freshman and sophomore, for sophomore and junior, for junior and senior, or for senior and postgraduate. 1. When scholarship students reach the college they will not be re-examined for admission.

157
2. As the number of scholarships is small compared with the number of competitors, it will often happen that som of those who mISS the prize are competel1t to enter the freshman class of the college. ~When persons of this class desire to enter the college, they 'will, on application, receive from their State superintendent a special certificate, which will admit them to the college without further examination. This certificate has no money value.
8. Students who have gained admittance to the college have the privilege of being examined for advanced standing if application is made within one month after the opening of the year.
4. The completion of the sophomore course entitles the student to the de~ree of Licentiate of Illliltruction (L.I.); of the senior course, to the degree A.B., B.S., or B.L.; and of the postgraduate course, to the degree of A.M., M.S., or :M.L.
5. Every member of the college is required to pay an incidental fee of $10.00 a year.
IX. The pledge required of scholarship students shall be prescribed by the general agent and shall be uniform for all the States.

CULTURE LECTURES.
The following Culture Lectures will be delivered during the Summer Normal in the evenings, beginning July 20th: Monday Evening, 8 o'clock--President J. H. Chappell-
"R. E. Lee-the Model." Tuesday Evening- Professor E. C. Branson - " Child
Study: An Historieal Sketch." 'Wednesday Evening- Hon. A. L. Peterman-" Our
School Days; or the Pleasures and Pains of Teaching." Thursday Evening-President J. H. Chappell-" The Nebula Hypothesis." Monday Evening - Superintendent L. B. Evans - " A Pedagogue'::; Appeal." Tuesday Evening-Professor E C. Branson-" Father Pestalozzi." vVednesday Evening-Hon. A. L. Peterman-" Unwritten Music." Thursday Evening-Frank L. Stanton.

The sessions of the normal were held in the auditorium of the Teachers' Association, the teachers boarding at the Cumberland Island Hotel near by, or tenting on the grounds of the Association.
The directors in planning the normal took into consideration the fact that most of the rural school-teachers harl attended their county institute, and that those who harl attended this should have a more advancpc. course of study; besides, they believed that there was a need of a summer school of a higher grade than the county institute, one in which the city school-teachers and the principals of towu academies might attend and prepare themselves more fully for thir particular work. It was their desire to bring together as many as possible of the superintendents and high school men who might thus become better prepared to intelligently direct the schools under their supervision, and the better co-ordinate their instruction with the colleges of the State.
The directors discarded the usual lecture plan, and arranged for a number of courses, as seen above. Classes were organized in each of these, and those taking a course were thus enabled to spend from one to three hours a day in that department. Work began each morning at 8 o'clock and continued until 1 o'clock, resuming at three and closing at five i:l the afternoon. From two to four classes were in session at the same time, each teaeher selecting those that he particularly needed. In this way some really val uable instruction was given. Some of the teachers devoted their entire time to music and drawing; others would attend the classes pertaining to high school work; others would take science and mathematics, or pedagogy, history, and English, or other courses, as the case might be.
I believe all thoRe attending will bear me out in the statement that the instruction given and the work accom-

174
plished make this one of the most helpful summer normals -ever held in the State.
Those attending did not drop in for a day or for a few hours, but many took the two weeks' course and nearly all remained as long as a week. The enrollment in all the .classes reached eighty, though no one class had anything like that many, these varying from ten to forty. Ten city superintendents were in attendance and one or more teachers from nearly every city system in the State. Nearly all of these pledged to greatly increase the attendance from their systems next year, if the summer normal were continued {)n the same high plains.
So deeply impressed were the instructors with the need and importance of this class of work in Georgia that they most generously offered their services to the Association and management for another year without salary, in order that whatever funds might be appropriated by Dr. Curry might go to securing the services of such men as Dr. E. E. White, Dr. Payne, and other great teachers.
The Association and its officers sincerely hope that yon and Dr. Curry will see your way clear to establish an annual summer normal in connection with the meetings of the Association.
The following resolutions were unanimously adopted by the teachers:
Resolved, That the sincere thanks of the Georgia Teachers' Association are hereby tendered Dr. J. L. M. Curry and the tru,tees of the Peabody fund for the liberal donation of a sufficient sum to maintain a normal institute for two weeks at Cumberland Island in connection with the meetings of our Association.
Resolved, That it is the sense of this Association that the character of the instruction given and the deep earnestnl.'SS of the teachers in attendance upon this summer normal warrant us in thl.' belief that much good has been accom-

175
plished in positive instruction, 111 professional upbuilding, :and in the inspiration of the teachers present for higher :and better work.
Re8olved, That in view of the good' work done at this institute and the promise given by it of still better things in the future, we earnestly ask Dr.T. L. M. Curry and the trustees of the Peabody fund to continue their generous :aid to this institute, believing, as we do, that it is but a beginning of a greater good to that large body of our teachers who can receive normal instruction in no other way."
The following resolution was also adopted: "Re8olved, That the student body of the summer normal :at Cumberland return the corps of instructors their heartfelt appreciation fo\' their self-sacrificing, efficient efforts, their soulful lectures, their earnest instruction, and their general devotion to the duties of their office." Permit me, in closing, to e~press my thanks to you for many valuable suggestions aud important aid in planning and conducting this summer normal, and express on behali' of the Association our appreciation of your labors for the advancement of the educational intereHts of Georgia. Hespectfully submitted.
JOSEPH So STEWART, President.

E.xXMI~A'l'ION AND ELECTION OF COUNTY SCHOOL C03IMISSIONERS.
'1'0 the County School Commissioner: Please notify the President of your County Board of
Education that the examination and election for County !:'"('llOoJ Commissioner will occur Saturday, February 15th.
Have the President of the Board give due notice in the county paper or papers of said examination and eJection, so that all applicants may be properly advised.
Package containing; questions for said examination will be sent to the President of the Board in your care.

177
You will deliver the same to him without breaking the seal.

State School Commissioner.
OFFICE OF STATE SCHOOL COl\Il\IISSIOKER,
Atlanta, Ga., J<'ebruary 6, 1896.
To the President of the Board of Education:
My Dear Sir-As you have been previously advised by the County School Commissioner, an examination for County School Commissioners will occur on the 15th of February. I beg to give you below some general instructions in regard to the examination.
A sealed package containing the questions, and the answers to the questions, will be handed to you by the County School Commissioner. This package is not to be opened until the morning of the 15th, in the presence of all applicants who are to stand the examination. I have sent the answers to the questions in answer to the rliquest from quite a number of the Presidenls of the Boards of Education. You will understand that these answers are not the only proper answers that can be , . made. They are simplyto serve as a guide to the Presi dents of Boards in reaching, as far as possible, a uniform grade. The questions are very simple, and the answers required will necessarily be short, as the election is to OCClir on the same day with the examination. In case .thet'e should be a number of applicants, and you need more time than one day to complete the examination of the papers, you can complete the examination and election on Monday, the 17th.
The first subject of school law has six questions. Each of these questions is valued at 16 23. To obtain the proper average, add together the amounts that the applicant makes on each question. The sum of these will be the average.
'rhe other topics have four questions each, and eaeh
128r

178
question is valued at 25. Add the amount made on each question, under each one of the topics, and this will obtain the average under each topic. Then add all of the averages together under the seven topics, and divide by 7, and you will obtain the general average which the applicant has made. There are ten words in spelling. each being valued at 10. The words to be spelled must. of course, be given out and the answers taken up before the slips are given to the applicants.
Two or three copies of the questions and answers will be inclosed in the package.
The law allows you to conduct the examination yourself or to appoint some one who, in your judgment, is competent to conduct the examination and grade the pallers.
I would not elect any applicant to the office of County School Commissioner whose general average on this examination falls below 70.
'rrusting that you may secure a thoroughly capable' IlLnn to lead the educational movement in your county,
I am yours very truly, G. R. GLENN,
State School Commissioner.
OFFICE OF STATE SCHOOL CmUIISSIONER,
Atlanta, Ga., March 22d, 1896.
To the County School Commissioner:
My Dear Sir-I have a number of matters to bring to' 'rom attention. 1st. In regard to Institute work for this year. I have und!'r preparation 3, course of. study for this Institutework which will be sent to you for distribution among the teachers during tIle next thirty days. I trust you will call a lllcetillb of the teachers as soon as you receive the eourse 'Jutlined and insist upon'their studying- the wol'1( prept1l'atory to the Institute week that will fonow. In connecti'lll with this, I hereby give notiee that I RhaU take the Questions for examination on theory and practi':e from 'White's School Management. ~Ir. J. S. Stew-

179
nrt, of ::tIarietta, Ga., President of the Georgia Teachers' Association, will supply this book to any teacher who sends direct to him, prepaid, for 90 cents.
2d. I desire to combine the counties for Institute work this year. I am satisfied we shall get better results from all concerned by having three or four, or even a largeF number, where it may be convenient, of the counties tocombine at some place in this State. We can have thecombined talent of three Institute conductors, and by selecting conductors for special lines of work, we can se cure better results for our teachers. I should be glad to> have at once suggestions from you as to the counties it would be convenient for you to, join in this way. When I hear from all the School Commissioners, I will make such combinations as seem to be wisest and best for alE concerned.
There will be a Chautauqua week at Hawkinsville, Pulaski county, the first week in May, one at Albany some time during May, and the summer meeting of the teachers at Cumberland Island in July. Those counties that are contiguous to these points can combine their Institutes at these meetings if they prefer to do so. These places will have special attractions that I am sure all of the teachers living in the adjacent counties would enjoy.
3d. Advanced movements in education in this State must originate in such meetings of our teachers as above referred to. Along with a demand for a better class of professional teachers, comes the demand for adequate remuneration for their services. Our people must be educated to consent to local tax in rJI tne counties in the State that have not yet levied such local tax, to supplement the fund provided by the State. I hope you will give this matter your serious attention.
4th. The last Legislature made only one change in the school laws of the State. The Legislature authorized the ordinary of the county or the County School Commissioner to approve the accounts of the members of the Board of Education, so that you can now pay members of your Board quarterly, as you pay other claims sent to this office in your itemized statement. Blanks have been

180

forwarded to you for your consolidated report for the

year 1895. If you have not already sent the report for

1895 to this office, please do so at once. I desire to pre-

pare my general report to the Legislature -as early as

possible and have it in the hands of the members elect,

so that they may read it and digest it before the meeting

of the Legislature in October.

5th. In view of the dissatisfaction growing out of the

practice of giving personal bonds, I suggest that the

CJunty Boards of Education allow the County School

Commissioner an increase of salary sufficient to pay for

a guarantee bond. In my judgment, it is to the interest

of all concerned to have the County School Commis-

sioner under a bond about whose indemnity there can be

no question. Recent instances in this State where it is

claimed toot the bond of the commissioner turned out

to be only a "straw bond" and totally worthless, furnish

occasion to emphasize this important matter in the minds

of the County Boards of Education.

6th. Dr. Curry, agent of the Peabody Fund, has ap-

p"'opriated $1,000 for monthly instituh'!;l for colored

teachers. I would be glad if the commissioners would

suggest feur or five central localities in the~tate for

holding these monthly institutes.

Very truly,

G. R. GLENN,

State Bchool Commissioner.

Peabody Institutes of one montt's duration will be held at the following places:
Valdosta, June 1st to June 26th; Albany, June 8th to ,July 3d; Madison, June 29th to July 24th; Marietta, June 8th to July 3d; Marshallville, June 29th to July 24th.
Dr. Curry, the agent for the Peabody Fund, has appropriated $1,000.00 for these five Institutes. Tuition abstlutely free to all the colored teachers in this State. Board at all of the above mentioned places can be obtained for the above mentioned teachers at $1.50 to $2.50 per week. The colored teachers of all of those counties adjacent to the above mentioned places must attend these Institutes. I will have th~ County Ccmmissioners to note the absence of any of those teachers, and refuse tl) employ any teacher who fails to attend these Institutes, who has not a sufficient excuse for non-attendance.
I desire that the colored teachers shall show Dr'.. Curry their appreciation of this donation by enthusiastlt~ attendance and hearty co-operation in this Institute work.
The amount of appropriation which Dr. Curry will hereafter give in this State to the colored people wiJ] depend

182
largely upon the interest that they show in this Institute 'Work this year. I appeal, therefore, to the colored teachers everywhere to be present at some one of the above named places during the month of the Peabody Institute. Of one thing rest assured, that those teachers who are jndifferent to this important matter will be noted and .employment to them will be refused in the selection ,)f teachers hereafter.
There will be three instructors at each one of these Institutes. The colored teachers shall have the very best talent of their own race, with all of the additional help that the County Commissioner can gn-e from the -distinguished lecturers on education from time to time ,during the sessions of the Institute.
Reduced railroad fare has been given on all roads. Asking the cordial co-operation and the hearty interest <If all the colored teachers in the above, I am

OFFICE OF STATE SCHOOL CmnussIONER,
Atlanta, Ga., June 8th, 1896.
To the County School Commissioner: 1\1y Dear Sir-The next general examination for teach-
,ers in this State will occur the last Saturday in July. :Most of the Institutes will be held befor~ the examination occurs. I purpose questioning the teachers as to their knowledge of the Institute syllabus, which I trust is now in the hands of every teacher in the State. The teachers should be advised, however, that they will be ,questioned upon the matter of this syllabus, and they must be familiar with it in order to stand the next ex.amination.
As you have been previously advised, the teachers will :also be questioned on 'Vhite's School Management. I will send you in due time the questions to be used in ex-

183

amination, together with such general instructions ~s

may be deemed necessary. I shall limit the questious

<In anyone topic to ten in number. Such teachers as are

well prepared can complete the examination in one day.

'fhere may be, and perhaps will be, exceptional cases,

requiring a longer time than one day.

In such cases you can use more time than one day if

you deem it proper. If you have not already sent to

this office all the information that has been asked for,

please do so at once. I desire to begin the publication

of my report to the Legislature, and all the information

for the year 1895 must be in before I can begin my re-

port.

Please give me as promptly as you can your experience

this year in regard to the combined institutes. I wish a

comparison of results of the combined Institutes and th.~

single county Institutes with a view of ascertaining

which plan has proven most beneficial to the teachers.

I desire to call a meeting of all the County SchooJ

Commissioners in this State at Cumberland Island for

July 15th and 16th. I hope thltt every commissioner will

be present at Cumberland on the above mentioned date.

Matters of very great importance to our public school

interests will be brought to your attention at that meet-

REPORT
OF THE
Goor[ia Normal anu Inuuslrial Gollo[o.

EST ABLISHED SEPTEMBER 30, 1891.

Milledgeville, Ga., September 11, 1896.

'To Hon. G. R. Glenn, State School Commissioner, At lanta, Ga.:

Dear Sir-In response to 'your request, it gives me pleasure to present the following report of the Georgia :Normal and Industrial College for the session of 1895-96:
'l'here were in attendance on the institution during the .session 328 pupils, including 264 regular college students .and sixty-two children in the Model School, an adjunct to the Normal Department. There were 223 boarding pupils, or pupils from a distance, representing eightyseven counties in the State.
In the Normal Department of the College there were 147 young women, constituting more than one-half of the entire student body. These young women, with scarcely an exception, came to the college in a most earnest spirit for the purpose of preparing themselves for the profession of te~ching, and nearly all of them will become teachers in Georgia schools.
The following is the number of pupils instructed during the session in each of the several industrial arts
taught in the school:

Stenography and typewriting

Bookkeeping .. " ., " .. ..

The most important change made in the plan of the 'school during the year was the introduction of a Preparatory Department into the system. This department consists of two classes of pupils, about equivalent to the seventh and eighth grades of the best city publie school systems. It fills up the awkward gap that has heretofore existed between the highest grade of the Model School and the sub-Freshman, or first college class. As the course of study is now organized a child six years old may now enter our institution and, beginning with the lowest grade of the Model School, go on uninterruptedly until she graduates in the senior college -class at the age of eighteen years.
There was a marked improvement last session over any former year of the school in the preparation of students for the classes to which they were assigned. Thi.s improvement has been brought about partly by our persistent and exacting, though entirely reasonable, system -of class entrance examinations, and partly by reason of the fact that as the years go by we have an ever-increasing number of pupils whom we have taught ourselves from the lower classes up. This better preparation has nabled us to do better and more thorough work in evet'~ ~ollegeclass than we haye eyer been able to do before. The improvement in this dirf'ction will be still mor? marked next session.
The moral tone of the school was wonderfully fine duro ing the past session. The discipline was well-Righ perfect and was maintained wi.th remarkable ease. There was scarcely a case of serious misconduct and yery few instances of yiolation of rules and regulations.
The cost of board in the dormitory, including fuel,

188
lights, and washing, was only $86.76 for tl~e entire' ses-: sion of nine months, or $9.64 a month. The table fa'.:'~ and style of living were in every way as good as is found in the best fashionable female colleges, where the cost of board is $18 or $20 a month. The dormitory is con ducted strictly on the co-operative plan.
The college made an extensive exhibit or its work at the Cotton States and International Exposition in Atlanta last fall. The exhibit included work from ever.y department and branch of the school, and attracted great attention and admiration from the thousands of visitors~ to the exposition. It was awarded the grand prize am}; gold medal over nearly one hundred competitors, including famous colleges and schools of all sorts from all parts of the Union. It was certainly the most varied and com prehensive, and perhaps the mo,st meritorious, exhibit of' work ever made by any single educational institution in, the world.
The State Legislature, at its session last fall, generously made a special appropriation of $25,000.00 to build a greatly needed new dormitory for the College. Theamount was expended, as the act required, in the ere'> tion of the bare building. After it was completed the Board of Trustees had it furnished throughout on the credit of the State. It is a splendid building, admirably adapted, arranged, furnished, and equipped for the purpose for which it was intended. It will furnish excellent accommodations for 135 students. Every place has been engaged for the coming session and scores of applicants. have been turned away for want of room.
The next session begins on September 16th, only six days hence. Three hundred and twenty-five certificates of admission have been issued, the utmost number of students that can be accommodated in the class-rooms of the college building. Every place in both dormitories240 in all-has been reserved, and scores of applicants have been turned away for want of room. Quite a num- ber of students have been put out in private families toboard.
On the opening day of school more than three hundred young Georgia women coming from ninety-five different

189
-counties in the State, will write their names on the college register. In a few weeks this number could be -doubled if there were room in the coUege buildings to ac-commodate them. The President has already turned off nearly one hundred applicants for want of room.
Although the institution is only five years old, fully three hundred of its students-graduates and under graduates--have become teachers in Georgia schools, and more than a hundred others are now making their {)wn living by the practice of industrial arts-stenography, telegraphy, bookkeeping, and dressmaking-learned in this schoo1.

:'1ales, 142; females, 50, from fifty-three counties in

190
this State, three counties in South Carolina, two counties in Florida, and one in Alabama. The last scholastic ;year at this institution has been characterized by the large number of students who made faithful effort to improve their opportunity. In consequence, therefore, their progress has been extraordinary and the cases of discipline very few. The curriculum for the past three years has been gradually raised until it is now as high as the highest in the State. The instruction is thorough, and the discipline firm. There are no temptations here to draw a student's mind from his or her books and no vices to corrupt their morals.
The work in every department of the College has been highly satisfactol'j', and the Inspector-General, who visited us this year, in his report to the vVar Department, stated that in some respects the Military Department of the North Georgia Agricultural College was the best of any of the colleges he had inspected iJl the South.
Six young men were graduated with the A.B. degree in June last, and all made fine records.
The Faculty in the Literary Department consists ,)f five males and two females. The efficiency of our work is hindered by lack of teachers and room. We sadly need two more teachers and additional recitation room!3. but with' the small fund at our command these are out of the question. We live in hope that the State Legislature will yet recognize the importance of the work we are doing and grant us an appropriation that will enable us to accomplish yet greater results.
Very respectfully, ISAAC W. WADDELL,
GEORGIA SCHOOL OF TECHNOLOGY, ATLANTA, GEORGIA.
President North Georgia Agricultural College. The fall session begins September 30th, 1896. Students will be received as late as February 15th, 1897. Parents are advised to send their sons at the opening of th(~ session.

Ull

There are five classes, viz.: Senior, Middle, Junior, Ap-

prentice and Sub-Apprentice.

-

Any applicant fifteen and a half years or age, or over~

may enter the school. For the Sub-Apprendce class nO'

entrance examination is required.

For the Apprentice class applicants entering Septem-

ber 30th must stand written examinations in:

Algebra (through fractions).

United States History (Eggleston's preferred).

Geography.

English Grammar (fundamental principles.)

For the Junior Class applicants entering September-

30th must stand written examination'l in:

Elements of Algebra Complete.

Plane Geometry.

And in the other subjects named above.

The fees are $20 per year when there are less than flix

students from the county of the applicant. All studenis

in excess of six from any county pay $25 tuition per year

additional. An additional deposit fee of $5 is required

on entrance, which is returned if no damages to property

are charged when the student leaves the school. Fees:

are payable semi-annually, half on entrance and the bal-

ance in February, and are prorated when a student en-

ters during the session.

Students outside the State pay $50 annually.

Board may be had at the school fOr $10 per month ill

the school dormitories, or near the school in private fam--

Hies at prices ranging from $14 to $18 per month. Appli-

cants are requested to write and secure places in the dor-

mitories as soon as they decide to come.

Students who occupy the school dormitories will be

required to observe regulations. The interests of stu-

dents will be guarded by the Matron and a Professor of

the school.

The following departments are thoroughly equipped:

Mathematics (with surveying instruments of the best

modern types, models, etc.).

English.

192
Physics (with extensive electrical apparatus, Wkit'l will be increased during the year).
Chemistry (with complete laboratories). Mechanical Engineering (with testing machines, models, etc.). Shops (wood, machine, foundry and smith). The school has a large and complete manual training equipment, alld the shops are under the direction of a distinguished mechanical engineer, assisted by skilled foremen and instructors. Our graduates are in demand and readily obtain posi tions. The catalogue gives their present occupations. No appointment from anyone is necessary for entrance. The presence Qf the applicant secures for him a scholarship, if there are not already six from his county. The only counties which will probably have six or more students next session are Fulton, DeKalb, and Cobb. The Sub-Apprentice Class will be under a careful teacher, who will have charge of the athletic training of all students. Intercollegiate athletics is not prohibited. "\Ve intend to improve the physical welfare of every student. The Instructor in Athletics will be identified permanently with the Faculty.

As before mentioned, tbe donation from tbe Peabody fund will soon be available, and it will be appropriated as directed by tbe Commission and tbe wishes of Dr. Curry, tbe agent of tbe Peabody fund.
The accompanying statement of the treasurer, marked '" Exbibit A," shows all receipts and disbursements up to date.
It may be proper to add: Wben the balance of tbe appropriations are drawn and all salaries paid for the remainder of the year, there will remain a small balanceof $55.20, which will be expended for such contingent expenses as tbe Commissio'n may direct.
CATALOGUE OF STUDENTS FOR 1896. (See" Exbibit B.")
It will be seen from the above that the total enrollment for the year 1896 is 354, and that 80 counties are represented among the students. Some ofthese students remained only 10 weeks, others 20 weeks, and the majority for the whole time. The attendance at this date is 242. Within the last week, admittance has been refused to 31. All accommodations are exhansted; every room is occupied" witb from three to seven in a room; every room near the school that can be obtained has been rented; recitation rooms are overflowing; the new dining-room, wbich seats 16~, is filled at each m~al and a large number must wait until the second table.
Expenses, under tbe plan adopted by the President, bave averaged $7.00 per montb, thereby placing the advantages of tbe school within reach of the struggling young lady or young man, trying to prepare for better work in the schoolroom. Tbese expenses covered by $7.00' include table board, lodging, wasbing, fuel, lights, and all living expenses.

195
It shows the earnest desire on the part of the teachers of the State-for 96 per ce"nt. of our attendance hold license to teach-to climb up higher. Surely the Legislature will provide for this great need.
Respectfully submitted. S. D. BRADWELL,
President State Normal Scho(j)L

THE STATE UNIVERSITY.
The Constitution of Georgia sanctions provision for higher education in this State, through the State University and its branches. A report upon the condition of edllcation in the State would, therefore, be incomplete without some mention of the University.
The University proper, founded in 1785, and located at Athens, comprises at present two distinct collegiate in 8titutions, a college of letters (Franklin College), and a college of science (the State College of Agriculture and Mechanic Arts). The former is dependent for its support upon interest on its invested funds and endowments,~accumulattd during its century of existence, and such occasional appropriations as may be made by the Legislature; the latter is maintained from the interest upon the Land Scrip Fund, received froIll' the United States, under the act of 1862, and additions thereto by nnnual appropriations from the United States treasuey under the act of 1890. 'rhe Board of Trustees of the University reports annually to the Legislature in detail, BS to its receipts and expenditures. The organization of each of the two colleges of the University embraces a number of distinct schools or departments, representing the several branches of learning, and it has been the wise ~olicy of the Board of Trustees to emphasize the indio viduality of each school, so as to liecure ror each the highest degree of efficiency and the most advanced grade of scholarship possible. Under the direction of the Academic Council of the University, the work of the students in each of the colleges is so apportioned among the several schools as to secure well rounded and properly balilnced education, while, at the same time, thoroughness in each study undertaken is assured. In the regulae (ourse of instruction, leading to academic degrees, each school contributes to an extent which the Council determines to be appropriate. vVhile all the schools of the University contribute to instruction in both colle.ges, the distinctive schools of each are as follows:

209
Franklin College-" Sehool of English. School of Greek. School of Latin. School of History and Political Science. School of Metaphysics and Ethics. School of ~Iodern Languages.
State College of Agrieulture and ~Iechanic ArtsSchool of Agrieulture. Sehool of Applied Mathematics and Engineering. School of Biology. Sehool of Chemistry. School of Geology. School of Mathematies. Sehool of Physics and Astronomy. 'l'he educational work of the Fniversity,its methodl'l,
application, conditions, and needs may be best under'stood from a brief review of the work and condition of eaeh school, and, by request, sueh reviews have" been prepared by the several officers in charge, and are here presented.
SCHOOLS OF -FRANKLIN COLLEGE.
SCHOOL OF EN(~LISH.
The subjects taught in the Department of English are: The Science of Grammar, Hhetorie, History of the English J~anguage, based upon a knowledge of Anglo-Saxon, History of American and English J.iterature, and a critical study of the masterpieces of }~nglish Literature. Opportunity is afforded in the Senior Class for the study of Comparative Teutonic Grammar, in so far as it bears upon the organic development of the English I,anguagc.
Original Composition and Deelamation reeeive special attention.
'rhe department has a small colleetion of books in it!' library, the .yalue of which is about $250.
The needs of the department are a good referelH~{> Ji. l,j'ary and literary charts.

210
'The sum of $800 is needed to give proper equipment to the department.
The teaching force comprises one professor and nil adjnnct professor.
DEPART.YENT OF AKCIEKT LAXGUAGES.
The Department of Ancient Languages consists of the 'two tichools of Latin and Greek, with a teaching force of -three instructors; a professor of Greek, an adjund profei;~or of Latin, and a tutor, who has work in both schools.
'l'he department is in a flourishing condition, both as regards the number of students taking its courses, a'1d its (quipment. In regard to numbers, comparison Cfln
oe wude, of course, only with institutions in which the
conditions as to elective and required studies are similar tc those of the University of Georgia. Such comparison 'shows, I'datively, very large numbers here in the schools 'of Greek and Latin.
As to equipment, it may be remarked that the -CniYl~r 'sity of Georgiaformed one of the first department libraries of -classical philology south of BaltilIlore. This library, the' laboratory of a school of language and iiteratllH', i~ furnished with te:us, commentaries and reference hooks of great value, as well as with highly useful archeological <'lltMra:us illm,;tTa::ne of ancient life. In this applU'atns me ineluded mmlY maps and plans, such as the CurtinsKauput-Walger relief map of Athens, many of the fine photographs of Grecian scenery and remains, taken by the Baron des Granges, and other photographs, particularly of the malilterpieces of Greek sculpture in the museums of Europe.
The courses of study in both schools, running through four years of undergraduate work, do not sacrifice thoroughness and quality to quantity and extent, but the range of reading is wide and the study of literature is kept abreast of the study of language. Courses are also 'Offered to graduate students.
A number of students meet the professor in a private das~ to read the Kew Testament in the original.

211
SCHOOL OF GREEK.
The standard of this school depends largely upon the character of work done in the preparatory schools of Georgia. The requirements for admission, given elsewhere, are based directly upon that work. 'With this basis, the guiding principles of the courses given to the Freshman and Sophomore Classes are the early mastery of the forms, a minimum of syntax, the reading of the language in mass as rapidly as is consistent with thoroughness. The mastery of the ideas of the author in the order of words of the original is, of course, pointed out as the correct method of reading the language, but translation into idiomatic English is not neglected. In the Junior and Senior Classes the standard syntax of Attic prose is treated systematically, and the attempt is made to introduce the student to an appreciation of the artistic forms of Greek literature. There is in all classes some practice in reading at sight. Exercises are given in translating from English into Greek, both in order to sharpen the observation of the Greek read, and as an indispensable aid to exact scholarship. Lectures on Metres are given in connection with the reading of the poets, with practice in the recitation of the Dactylic Hexameter, the Iambic Trimeter, and a few other cC!mmon verseforms.
Text-Books.-(In addition to the editions of authors mentioned below.) Hadley-Allen Greek Grammar, Goodwin's Moods and 'renses, Hogue's Irregular Verbs of Attic Prose, Gayley's Classic Myths in English Literature, Jebb's Greek Literature, Liddell and Scott's Intermediate Greek Lexicon, or unabridged seventh edition.

cydides, Book VII., Plato's PluBdo, Demosthenes, Oration XX. For this course a knowledge of German is desh'able, but not indispensable. Standard books of reference will be found in the Philological Library.
SCHOOL OF LATIN.
'['he School of Latin is under the charge of the Adjunct Professor of Latin, and offers a four-year course of undergraduate study, with a wider course of graduate study each year.
'['he preparatory schools of the State do so little work in Latin that it is found necessary to make the entranc(~ examinations very elementary. All that is required is a knowledge of the forms of the language, arid a reasonable ability to read ordinary Latin prose. 'fo ascertai'j this, an examination is set, consisting of nouns and verbA to he inflected, and a portion of Cmsar's Gallie vVar and of Ciecro's first two orations against (;atiline to be translated. Being fully persuaded of the wisdom of the conelusions of the committee of ten. the examiner offers an alternative of X epos in place of ('resar, and urges the reading of the former. Even with this low requirement, experitmre has shown the necessity of a review of tlw forms of the language. and one hour per week is devoted to this dming the firRt term, with a study of the geography of aneient Italy; paying particular attention to the

213
topography of the city of Rome. The reading,is selected usually from some simple prose author, such as Sallust, both for the subject-matter and the comparative simplicity of the language. No study of syntax is made in thh3 dass, a formal treatment being reserved for higher elasses. After reading Sallust and some Cicero, the class is given an insight into poetry, by reading Ovid.
The Sophomore Class continues the reading of Ovid, and begins the formal study of syntax, writing exercises and translations from English into Latin, to illustrate the rules. 'l'hese exereises begun heel', are continued throughout the remaining three years, being carefully graduated in diffieulty. After the reading of Ovid, the daBS generally pursues the study of historical prose, reading Livy.
In the junior yenr, Horace is read, his versification carefully studied, his pot'try compared with that of other poets, and especially his translators. Then the elass is gin>n a glimpse of Roman philosophy, as illustrated by Cicero. The study of syntax is continued and completed in this tIass. In addition a sketch of Roman literaturt' is re~ld by the class.
In the senior year an insight is gh-en into the drama. by the reading of several of the plays of 'rerelllc. After this some latitude is allowed. The reading is sometimes taken from Cieero's correspondence, which is studied both as Latin and as historical material, sometimes from Tatitus's Annals, or other reading.
The graduate courses vary from year to year. During the current session (18!Hi-D7) a eourse is offered based on Horace, including a eritieal study of his work and a comparison 'with other writers, both aneient and modern, especially those who have eons(iousl.,- or uneonsciously followed him. Espeeial attention is paid to his eritical writings, and his theories are applied as far as possible to his own writings and those of others. A knowledgp of Greek and of German is very desirable for this course.
Such, in a. few words, is the course of study now pursued in this school, with some minor changes from ~-ear to ~-ear. 'l'he ohjec-t of this eourse is to ground the studpnt thoroughly in the printiples of the language, anti

214
then to introduce him to some of the masterpieces of the literature. 'L'he method of teaching in the lowpr ~lasses is dictated by the rule laid down by Dr. .3. L. Gildersleeve for introductory work: "Maximum of forms, minimum of Syntax; early contact with the language ifl mass."
The equipment of the school, while hampered by the lamentable poverty of the whole University, is fairly adapted to the work done. The lecture-room is large and generally comfortable, and the library-forming a part of the generaJ Philological library-is as good, perhaps, as that of any school of Latin south of Virginia. The number of volumes accessible to students is estimated at about one thousand. This does not include a large number of valuable books of reference in philology.
The needs of the school are few, .but important. Ii: seems beneath the dignity of a university to have a school presided over by an adjunct professor, and the teachin~ force of which consists only of that officer and a tutor whose time is divided between it and another school. The number of books needs to be continually augmented to keep pace with the great activity in classical research. The library of this school is its laboratory, and all edu cational authorities demand as much care in expenditure for libraries as for other laboratories.
With better preparatory training, there is no reason why the school should not offer courses comparing favorably with those of any university. But the head of the school should be relieved of much of his work with the lower classes, in order to give him time for higher work, which is the real university work.
SCHOOL OF HISTORY AND POLITICAL SCIENCE.
The School of History and Political Science, though the most recently established department of the University, has a larger number of students than any other, except English, with which it stands on a par. During the college year 1895-96 it embraced 86 per oent. of the total enrollment, graduate and undergraduate, a propoo:-

2]5
tion which, so far as has been ascertained, is not equaled" in any other college or university of the United States.
The prominence assigned to the school in the curriculum is due to the conviction that an essential part of the duty of the State's University should be the equipment of its graduates with the knowledge and training which constitute the best preparation for the duties of citizenship. This object, thereforl?, is made the dominant purpose of the school. The ideal placed before each student is an enlightened patriotism, freed from prejudice and broadened by catholic sympathy; a deep sense of the responsibility of the citizen; and an understanding of the constitutional growth and social and economical movements that underlie the seething political and industrial problems of the day.
The method by which this aim is sought is somewhat controlled by local conditions. Students enter the Freshman Class entirely unprepared in history. The first year is devoted to a broad study of its general outlines. The second year is given to the study of the development of England, a knowledge of whose constitutional and industrial life is so essential to the comprehension of our own. 'l'he Junior Class is sufficiently advanced for the study of comparative politics, and the political and constitutional history of the United States; while .the Seniors are grounded on political economy, and apply its. principles in a review of the economic hIstory of our country.
In all of these courses there is as much individual research and laboratory work as the conditions allow.
In equipment the School of History has large, attractive and well-fitted rooms, and is provided with the nucleus of a valuable special library. Some two thou-sand volumes of more or less value have been obtained by gift~ and to these have been added the most essential moderlk books by appropriation of the trustees. This library constitutes the laboratory of history, and is still far from what it ought to be.
The department is thus able to do the work at present required of it, but further development is much to be desired, and its needs are great:

216
1. The Historical Library should be greatly developed and increased, not only by adding the current and standard works on history in general, but by collecting all obtainable books and materials for the history of Georgia and the South. It is the duty of \:Ivery Southern colleg8 to assist in maintaining the records of the Soath and to contribute to the writing of her history. A committee of the Confederate Veterans' Association publislwd a report in April, 1894, urging every such institution to e~ tablish a chair of Amel'ican history, unencumbered by instruction, and devoted solely to researeh. l'he idea is a good one. ~Cnfortunately, few colleges possess the means to carry it out; but all can do something to fOt' ward the work.
2. A 1fusel1m of Southern History should be estab Iished. 11any valuable mal1lHwripts,. relics, and nw mentos of the past life of the South. now seattered in private lumds, unknown to the public, and in constant danger of loss or destruetion, might thus be eolleeted and peeserved.
3. Additional teaehing force ~will soon be a neeessity. Nearly two hundred students are now dependent fot' their entire instruction in histor~-, political i'eience, and economics on one professor. This is already twi('e thl~ proportion in an,v otllPr departnwut, and the number of .students is constantly gro\ving.
SCHOOL OJ1' ME1'APHYSICS AXD E'rHICR.
The Chancdlor of the l~niversit~- gives instruetion in this school. 'l'he instruction consists of a COlll'se extending thi'ough two years, beginning' with the Jllnior Class. It embraees that group of the allied studies whi('h, for purposes of convenience, may lw divided into mental science, logic, and moral philosophy.
The Junior Class meets the professor three times a week. Porter's "Elements of Intelleetual Sdence" is used as a text-book, and supplemented by lectllres and ,critic:isms as the occasion requires. After the elass has

217
f:arefully studied conseiousness, sense-perception, memory, phantasy, and imagination, the operations of logical inference (deductive and inductive logic) are investigated. Tevon's "Lessons in Logic," together with corresponding portions of Porter's "Elements," being used as a guide.
The Senior Class has three recitations per week. After completing the more advanced parts 01' Porter's "Elements." they enter the subject of moral philosophy as discussed in the "Handbook" of Professor Calderwood.
A carefully considered course of reading will be pro-
vided for graduate students, r eberweg's History of Phi-
losophy. Hamilton's Lectures, and selections from :\lcCosh. Martineau, and other standard authorities.
A COUl'se in the Evidenees of Cluistianity will be recommended.
SCHOOL OF :\IODERX I~AXGFAGES.
There arp two dasses in Frpnch-the Junior and Spniol' --and ~1_ like nUlll bel' in German.
'1'he studpnts of all ChlSSPS mept the professor three timps a week during tIlE' sesRion. For admission to a higher daRs, the studpnt must have passed succeRsfully through the eourse of the preceding year or years, or haYf~ madp equivalent attainments.
'fhe instruction in the flrst year is largely oral, tIll' main ohjed being the attainnlPnt of an agrppable and fhlPnt pronunciation. a cpl'tain familiarit~- with the most uRlml forms of expression. and readiness in the use of tlll'm. Imitation and repptition. Xature's own method of obtaining a living langnagp. is, in a large mpasure, the law of the dass-room, esppeiall.v during the first two or three months of the COUl'se. The essential points of grammar are also prel'wnted, and systematic exercisps (written) practically illustrating them, are assigned throughout the year.
'nth a certain fund of material thus at ready command, the ear habituated to thp sonnds of the foreign language, and the tongue sehooled to reproduee them,

~18
the student is prepared to enter profitably upon the critical and literary course 'of the following year.
It is not eaillY to prescribe in advance the exact amount of reading to be accomplished in the entire coure, but the aim is to read critically a fair number of the great masterpieces of French and German literature.
In a word, the course of instruction is intended to be extensive and thorough.
The effort is made to lay the foundation vf accurate and useful scholarship, such as shall enable the student to read the languages fluently, to write them with correctness, to understand and appreciate their literature, and to prosecute his subsequent studies in them with eas(:" and enjoyment.
Opportunities for graduate work are also offered as desired.
There is one professor and one instructor in this schooL
SCHOOLS OF THE STATE COLLEGE.
SCHOOl. OF AGRICULTl;RE.
This school was designed for the sons of farmers, or other young men who propose to make farming theil~ leading occupation. In other words, it is, as far as practicable, strictly a professional school. While principles which underlie the art of agriculture are taught as fully as circumstances permit or justify, special emphasis is laid on the application of those principles.
There are three classes in this school. Students in the first class are taught the principles and the practices of general agriculture-the preparation and care of land, the selection and planting of seed, the harvesting and housing of crops, and the proper economic disposition of farm products for home consumption and for market.
This instruction is continued and amplified during theseeond year, special attention being paid to the proper diversifying of crops, to the husbandry of small erops, vegetables and fruits, and to the judicious selection anO: use of farm implements, stock, and eattle.

219
The course during the third year is an extensive one, embracing general agriculture, special studies of Bpecial crops, scientific experimenting in agriculture, the prepa ration of manures, composts, and fertilizers, the scientifi~ principles of stock feeding, dairying and care of dairy produets, treatment of diseases of plants and animals, etc.
The college farm is condueted as a model farm, being arranged in the manner and conducted according to the methods which are considered best suited to the peculial' conditions prevailing in Georgia, and best calculated to make the pursuit of farming in this State remunerative, and to promise to those who adopt it both profit and contentment. It is designed that students in agriculture shall take actual, individual part in all the preparations of the farm, and so become familiar with the best methods and the most economic practices of practical agriculture. The aim of this school is to teach young men that farming in Georgia, properly conducted, can be made a profitable and attractive pursuit, calling for the exercise of intellectual effort as well as of manual labor, and worthy to stand upon a plane of equal dignity and attractiveness with the learned professions.
Students are encouraged to undertake the individual care of sections of lands or of special crops, and opportunities are afforded them to prosecute personally experiments and investigations. 'Vhenever practicable, they are aided in this work by proper payment for services rendered in the work of the farm.
There is one professor in this school. Special lectures in dairying, veterinary science, etc., are secured from time to time.
SCHOOL OF APPLIED MATHEMATICS AND EXGISEERING.
'l'he School of Engineering and Applied ~Iathematics comprises within its scope thorough instruction in the various branches of engineering and architecture, and

2:20
in addition ineludes the work in mechanieal, architectmal and free-hand drawing.
'1'he studies in this school are of most importance to students applying for the degrees of RE., C.E., and C.M.E.. but find further usefulness in the work leading to Baehelor of Seience and Bachelor of Agriculture.
Courses of study both in engineering and drawing are offered in the four undergraduate elasses. and provision. is made for higher professional studies in the post-graduate degrees. Special courses are also arranged for suitably prepared men who desire to make engineering or architecture a specialty.
The engineering studies begin with land surveying, and proceed at proper intenals through railroad, highway, hydraulie, sanitary and architectural engineering, including a strong course in the strength of materials, bridges. roofs and masonry construdion. l\luch field and experimental work is required. The drawing work eomprises ample pradice in linear dr:nving and projection, in wate!' colors, in free-hand sketches from models, in topographical maps from original sUlTeys. and in architeetural details and perspeetiYes. '1'he profpssor of engineering and his assistant lwve charge of the school. The departnwnt ocupies a f1o{)r space of 100x48 feet. as shown in the ac('ompanying diagram. The rooms are spaeiO)lS, well lighted and well furnished.
'1'he f'ngineering equipment is ample in I111tny lines. It consists principally of transits (4). levels C~). compasses (8), chains and tapes (10), with the necessary rods, ete., a solar compass, plane ta ble, planimf'ter, and a' large colleetion of valuable models of bridges, roofs. arches, water-wheels, h.vdrants. valves. and other engineerin~~ struetures and appliances. A Riehle testing machine of 'iO.OOO pounds eapacity is owned and used by tIl{' school.
'1'lw drawing equipment is f'l]ually complete in tablf's, boards. mathematical models. and numerous drawings and models of architeetural and mee!lanieal subjeets. A finp colleetion of bllw prints is also used.
The department librar,v of technical authorities numbers more than ROO volllmes. '1'he current engineering journalill are taken and presern>d in bound volumes.

;,.21
A eomplete camping outfit is provided for the annual railroad survey.
The value of the above equipment, by eareful estimate, is not less than $!l,OOO.OO.
The floor space of the school has hitherto been sufficient to accommodate the students in attendanee, and the equipment is not only large, but specially well chosen, and useful in the teaehing work.
The methods of instruetion inelude the use of textbooks, and of leetures, and emphasize experimental and original work by the student. The ethieal aim of the school is to turn out aeeurate, eompetent, and eonseientious 'men in the several branehes of engineering.
The needs of the sehool are ehiefly in the direetion of greater faeilities for experimental work. Additional testing machines' and a laboratory for eement testing would be of great service. In arehiteeture the need exists for larger library and model faeilities.
SCHOOL OF BIOLOGY.
In this school the following eourses are provided, eaeh consisting of three weekly exereises:
1. PIHenogamic Botany.--This occupies the latter half of the year, and is preseribed for J1'reshmen in all eourses. The work done consists mainly of laboratory work, two afternoons in eaeh week being spent in field work in addition to the regular dass work.
2. Cryptogamie Botany and Vegetable Physiology.-'l'bese subjeets oeeupy the first half-year, and the eourses are so planned as to give students a knowledge of the life-history, struetnre, and fllnetions of the lower forms of vegetable life, as well as an introduetion to the methods of mieroseopie teehnique. '1'he physiology and histology of typieal exogenous and endogenous plants are first taken up, after which the dass examine several seleeted types of lower plants.
it Invertebrate Zoology.-TIJP work of this eourse begins Pehruary 1st, and consists of a general survey of the classes of invertebrates hased on the detailed stnd.\' of selected representatives of each class.

222

Courses (2) and (3) are prescribed for Juniors in the

B. S. Course.

4. Vertebrate Anatomy and Physiology.-This course

continues until April 1st, and is taken up by the Seniors

in the B. ltl. Course. Each member of the class disse~ts

minutely re'presentatives of each class of vertebrates.

The embryology of birds, amphibia, and mammals is

taken up in suflicient detail to give an idea of the differ-

ent methods of segmentation and development, while tlk

histology and physiology of the principal organs of the

body are also presented.

5. General Biology.-This course continues until A"pril

1st, and is designed for those students who have acquired

their main scientific disciplifte in other branches, and

who wish simply to acquire information upon biological

topics. It is prescribed for A. B. students in their Senior

year. The course is based upon a study of a few familiar

plants and animals, made in a much more general way

than in courses (2), (3), and (4), of which this is to some ex-

tent an abridgment. Frequent demonstrations accom-

pany the lectures.

6. Historical and Theoretical Biology.-In this course,

which begins April 1st, the student is introduced to som'~

of the more prominent questions of Theoretical Biology.

The history of biological discovery from the earliest

times is taken up and the development of more impor-

tant generalizations is traced as far as possible in the

time available. This course is taken by the Seniors in

the A. B. and B. S. Courses.

.

7. Graduate Courses.-These are offered along the line

of Comparative Anatomy and Animal Physiology, and

consist of advanced reading accompanied by special lines

of laboratory work.

Laboratory",rork.-Allof the above courses are accom-

panied by laboratory work. Three rooms are equipped as

laboratories, and answer their purposes well. Two of

these are for general class work, ,vhile the third is equip-

ped as a physiological laboratory. The equipment for

(k!ss work is nearly all that could be desired, though

many new pieces of small apparatus are needed, as also

several duplicates of pieces already in stock. The equip-

223
lIlent for advanced work in physiology is, for the time beiug', far from being all that is desired, though the UniverHity is, in this respect, far better off than most of the Southern colleges. Two or three thousand dollars could well be spent on physiological apparatus to bring thi.s department up to the standard that it should attain.
Mention should also be made of a valuable reference library of several hundred books, and also of a museum, whieh, though limall and greatly needing extension, conhlins many specimens that furnish invaluable aid in condncting the courses given.
Needs of the Department.-In additon to the need of increased laboratory equipment mentioned above, there is a more urgent need for inereased teaching force.
The time of the professor if'! largely taken up with small details of laboratory work-\vork that could be properly done by an assistant, leaving the professor free to develop more fully advanced courses for which there is a real need, but which it is impossible now to offer.
SCHOOL OF CHEMISTRY.
The School of Chemistry occupies a portion of the basement, and the whole of the first floor of the Moore College, with a total floor space of about 6,000 square feet. There are three students' laboratories with a total of fifty-eight desks, a private laboratory, lecture room, library, industrial museum, assay room, offices, storerooms, etc. The fittings of the laboratories are plain, but substantial and convenient, with gas, water, draught closets, etc. 'l'he library is excellent and contains standard works on chemistry, files of important journals and current chemical periodicals. The museum contains illustrations of chemical produchJ and technical processes; it is large and well-selected, and, in some departments, reasonably complete. A large amount of valuable apparatus is in stock, and necessary additions t"hereto, and of chemicals required in the lectures and laboratory work, are supplied each year. The teaching force of the school is one professor and one adjunct professor.

224
There are three regulal' undergraduate lecture courses given:
1. A half-year course, beginning February 1st, to the Sophomore Class of all degree courses and such electives of the Sophomore grade as may select it. One lecture per week is given, accompanied, as will be shown below, by two hours' la boratory work. 'rhe subjeet taught is General Chemistry. The elementary principles of the subject are expounded. A few elements and their compounds are selected and thoroughly studied, so that the nature of chemieal action and its relation to other natural phenomena may be understood. The course is not extensive, but thOl'ough. It is designed to be introductory to the more extensive course of succeeding years.
2. A full year course of three hours per week is given to the .Junior Classes of all degree courses and electives of .Junior grade. Inorganie Chemistry is completed, and a short course (complete in itself) of Organic Chemistry given. 'rhe course condudes with lectures upon the Hi8tory of the Development of Chemistry.
3. A full year course of three hours per week to the Senior Classes of B. 8., B. Ag., and B. E. courses, and senior elective!'!. An advanced course in organic chemistry is first given, followed by lectures upon agricultUl'al chemistry (whit'h are open to the public, in accordance with the 'l'errell Endowment) and conduding with a course in industrial chemistry or technology. A review of ehemical theory and of the history of the applieations of Chemistry to the industrial arts is given at the end of the course. Instruction is given in the above courses mainly by lectures and reeitations, with the usc of texts as books of reference. The lectures are abundantly and appropriately illustrated by experiments, etc.
There are also three regular undergradnate laborator~ COlHses.
1. A half-year course of two hours per week required of all students of the University of Sophomore grade. It is belipved that the natural seienel's cannot be taught prOI1Prly without such aetnal partieipation by the student himself in the observations and experiments upon whieh thpse seieneps are based, as will give the ment:ll

225
training requisite to their correct apprehension. Laboratory work, which is mainly observational, is required of all students of the Freshman grade in ootany, in the School of Biology. Experimental work is required of all Sophomores in the chemical laboratory. The experiments are few and simple, but illustrative of important principles in chemistry. This course follows closely th\~ lecture course of the Sophomore year.
2. A full year course of four to six hours per week is given to Juniors of the B. S. and B. Ag. and electivt' ~ourses. Chemical elements and compounds are examined and studied, chemical preparations made, and a full cours(~ in qualitative analysis completed.
3. A full year course of six hours per week given to" Seniors of the B. S. courses and elective. Organic com pounds are prepared and studied and a full course of quantitative analysis given. Considerable latitude is allowed students in choice of quantitative work after the regular course is completed, bearing upon their prospe(;tive future work.
Special Courses:
1. A short course of laboratory instruction in determinative mineralogy, including blo'wpipe work, is given students of the B. E. Course in the junior year.
2. A course of lectures upon mining and metallurgy is given to special students of the B. E. Course in the seni(H' year. Laboratory work in assaying accompanies the lechues.
3. A special course of lectures on agricultural chemistry, with exercises in the field and laboratory, is given students of the short winter course in agriculture.
G-raduate Coursps.-Graduate work embraces reading. conferences, recitations, and laboratory work of advanced character. It varies in nature, but, in all cases, at leaslone original investigation must be undertaken and a comprehensive report thereon made in a suitable thesis.
For the existing conditions the School of Chemistry h fairly well equipped with apparatus and material. Additions to tlw stock and to the industrial museum are from time to tillle npcpssary. Th(> immediate and abso
l5sr

226
lute need of the school, at this time, is additional laboratory and lecture room space. During the session of 1895-96 eighty-six students were in the laboratory classes. There were desks for but fifty-eight. The overcrowding was not only inconvenient, but seriously detrimental to good work. \Vith th~ expansion of the school not only have more students to be provided for, but more subject" have to be taught, and additional room for this purpose is, at this time, absolutely necessary. A separate and distinct laboratory building should be provided for thi,; school, fitted with modern and suitable appliances. In no other way can the school do properly the wurk that ;1'1 required of it.
SCHOOL OF GEOLOGY.
The Chair of Geology in the University is, at present, vacant. Instruction in geology is given, temporarily, by the professor of chemistry. Lectures and recitations (with Le Conte's "Elements" as a text) are given the Senior Classes of all courses, for a half-year, three hours per week. The University has a large and very valuable collection of minerals and geological specimens. It is extremely desirable that this chair should be filled at an early date.
SCHOOL OF MATHEMATICS.
A professor of mathematics, an adjunct professor, and 11 tutor comprise the teaching force in this department. 1'he course of study is systematic and effort is made by the instructors to reach every student individually.
During the freshman year the class completes geometry and the course in elementary algebra, and begin,; trigonometry. Considerable time is given to original exercises. especially in geometry. The student is taught not only to make sufficient argument, but is required to make it in a concise and systematic form.
It has become necessary to divide the ~ophomore class into sections, one section consisting of the applicants for

227
the degree of Bachelor of Arts, and the other for those students who pursue a more advanced course in mathematics.
The topics studied-algebra, trigonometry, analytic geometry and calculus-are the same for both sections, but the proportion of time is different. Thoroughness with elementary principles is aimed at with the Bachelor of Arts rather than an attempt at extended reading. The greater time allowed for the other section enables them to read more extensively without any sacrifice of thorDughness.
'l'he Junior Class pursues the study of calculus, in which great care is taken to have the students understand the methods of investigation used. They are taught to separate the principles peculiar to the calculus from the algebraic operation used in carrying them out. In this way it is hoped that they will not only acquire facility in using this mathematical instrument, but also Dbtain the distinctive culture which the study can give.
The Senior Class has three hours per week, which arc given to a somewhat advanced course in the applicationfl of the calculus, ana with engineering students a course in the method of least squares.
Graduate Course.-This varies from year to year. For the current year it consists of the following subjects: Determinants, integral calculus, analytic geometry, theory Df functions of a complex variable.
Standard books of reference are to be fouuJ in the de]Jartment library. They are valued at $500. A readin~ knowledge of French and German will greatly facilitate work in this department.
The school stands in need of $500 to be used in the purchase of suitable models.
SCHOOL OF PHYSICS AND ASTROXOJIY.
There are four undergraduate courses in this department. For the degree of A.B.. course A is required; for that of B.S., course B, and in the Senior Class for this degree, courses C and D arC' optional. For the degree of

228
RE., course B is required, and Gne of the courses of C and D.
Course A begins with the Sophomore Class and is completed in the Senior Class. It presents the study of general physics, which is completed in the Junior Class. In the Senior ClaRH a course of lectures on descriptive astronomy begins January 1st and ends )Iarch 1st.
A knowledge of elementary algebra, geometry and plane trigonometry is required for admission to thiH course. In addition to the professor's lectures, the following text-books are used: Ganot's Physics (fourteenth edition), 'Vhite's Astronomy.
Course B begins with the Freshman Class and is completed in the Senior Class. It presents the study of general physics in a more extended form and with the addition of laboratory work.
In the I<'reshman Class the studentH arc eng-aged in elementary physical measurements, induding the use of the metric Rystem. 'rhis part of the course is entirely by ledures, whi(It the student is required to write off ilnd submit to the professOl' fol' criticism. In the last pad of the year Hall and Bergen'R "Text-Hook of PhysiCR" is used, the first three chapters being completed. I~abOl'atory work is required throughout the year. Students l)l'eparing themselves for the Sophomore Class, who Ita ve not had the advantage of the first part of the freshman year, an~ recommended to prepare themselves for entranee examination on th(' tin;t six dwptl'l'S c;f Shaw's "PhysicI' by Experiment," in addition to the first three dwpters in Hall nnd Bergen. They will also be ('xamined on the metrit: system and be required to mak,:' up ill(' laboratory "\York of the Freshman Class.
In the Sophomol'(' nnll .Junior ClaSHes the course ill physin;is ('ontilllH'd. 't'he work is partly by lectures and pad]y by text-book. Laboratory work forms an important feature of the course. The text-books used are: Ganot's l'ltysies Ifourteenth editiou), Hall and Bergen'", "Text-Book of Physics," Gage'H "Laboratory Manual." ApplicantH for admission to the .Junior Class will be examined, in addition to the matter above specified for admission to the Ropholliore elm;s, upon the following:

229
Mechanics of solids, liquids and gases, and light, as pre1'Jented in Ganot, and upon chapters IV. to VIII. of Hall und Bergen's text-book. They will also be required to make up, during the course of the year, the laboratory work of the Sophomore Class, opportunity for which will be afforded them.
In the Senior Class the .ourse in Descriptive Astl'on(lmy as preseribed for the A.B. degree is taken.
Course C is optional in the Senior Class of the B. S. degree, and is a continuation of the course in physics, rspecially in the line of eleetrieity. In addition to th0 lectures of the professor, the following text-books are used: Ganot's Physics, Stewart and Gee's Electricity lmd Magnetism. Laboratory work will be required. This course is arranged especially for those students who may desire to prosecute the study of Electrical Engineering.
Course D, also optional in the Senior Class of the B. S. degree, presents the subjects of Higher Meehanics and of Spherical Astronomy. The text-books used, and in addition to the professor's notes, are 'Vood's Analytical Me{'hanics and Godfray's Astronomy. A knowledge of Calculus and Spherical Trigonometry is required.
Laboratories and Apparatus.-The excellent lectur,~ -apparatus with which the department is supplied enable'! the professors to illustrate fully every part of the course, 'and to present to the student the methods pursued in scientific investigation.
The laboratories are well supplied with apparatus, and ihe courses are made thoroughly practical.
A small workshop is connected with the laboratories. It is equipped with metal and wood-working tools, as far as its capacity allows. Students in the laboratories are required to do work in it, and some creditable pieces of electrical and other apparatus have been turned out of it.
Graduate Courses.-The following courses are offered in this department to applicants for the degrees of Master of Arts and Master of Science:
1. Advanced 'l'heoretieal Physics.-Lectures and labomtory work. Books of reference-Clerk Maxwell on

230
Heat; Ayry's Undulatory Theory of Optics; Maxwell's Electricity and Magnetism; Tyndall's Light and Heat.
2. Practical Electricity.-Lectures and laborator,v work and workshop practice. Books of reference-Thompson'lil Dynamo-Electric Machinery; Ewing's Magnetic Induction in Iron; Fleming's Alternate Current Transformer, volumes 1 and 2 ; Kapp's Electric Tram;mission of Energy; Slingo and Brooker's Electrical Engineering.
3. Analytic Mechanics.-Text-book-Wood's Mechanics.
4. Astronomy.-Text-book-Chauvenet's Astronomy. Needs of the Department.-The greatest need of the department is additional room, properly located. Our workshop is entirely too small, and it is useless to increase its small equipment, as what it now has crowd8 the space. "Were more room available, a moderate expenditure would enable the school, with increased facilities, to expand the range of its work, and offer advanced courses to special students, especially in the line of electrical study. The electrical laboratory is too small and is merely a makeshift. The only proper location for one is on the ground floor, where firm foundations can be obtained for placing the various instruments and machines. The department must remain at a standstill until the larger accommodationJ'l fire secured. The scope of instruction has been gradually enlarged and has kept up with the times; but a point has been reached where it can no longer expand because of lack of room. Students are now carried in electricity to the point where they could profitablyenter upon a course of electrical engineering, but there they have to stop. For such - a course there is needed a suitable machine shop, dynamos, motors, and other appliances. For such there is no room. There is a demand for educated men in the profession of electrical engineering, which is obliged to continue, and it is much to be desired that the University should provide for it. As it now stands, it can only prepare men to a certain point; and they have then to go and finish their

231
course at some other institution more fully equipped than this.
THE FACULTY. The Academic Council (or University Faculty) of the University is composed of the Chancellor and the Professors, Adjunct Professors, and Instructors of all the Academic Schools. At present it has eighteen members. :For its own special purposes, each of the colleges has its special faculty. The executive of the Franklin College :Faculty is its Dean; of the State College Faculty, its President. The executive of the University is the Chancellor.

PROFESSIOKAL DEGREES.

These are-

1. Oivil Engineer.

For the Degree of Civil Engineer th~ student must -complete all the studies required for the degree of Bachelor of Engineering; must graduate in one modern language, and must p'erform additional work in the departments of Physics, Chemistry, Geology, and Engineering.
92. Civil and Mining Engineer.

For the Degree of Civil and Mining Engineer, in addition to the requirements for the degree of Civil Engineer, the student must perform additional work in Mining and Metallurgy, and in the prepanition of original theses.

3. Bachelor of Law.
This degree is conferred upon graduates of the Law School, a department of the University, located at Athens.

SCHOOL OF LA \Y.
Three professors and one special lecturer constitute tlJe working force of the department.
The course of study is completed in one year, and covers the general principles of elementary law, or legal science, the law of contracts and torts, the Constitutions of the United States and of Georgia, the political organization of the State, the principles of pleading, evidenci',

237
equity, commercial law, parliamentary law, medical jurisprudence, the civil and penal code and the code of practice of Georgia.
The method pursued in the class-room combines th'~ advantages of lectures, text-books, and eAaminations. The lectures follow the outline of the text-books; the students are required to recite daily from the lectures and the text-books, and also to consult other works upon the subject in hand. Searching written examinations are held at the conclusion of each subject. Throughout the course exercises are had in pleading, drawing wills, deeds, mortgages, commercial papers, and legal documents of all kinds.
Moot courts are held in which one of the professors presides. The juries are taken from students in other departments of the University. Law students act as counsel, and are taught the actual practice of the law, pleading, drawirg orders, moving for new trial, advocacy before court and jury, the use of reports and textbooks as authority; in fact, all the elements of courthouse practice, civil and criminal, in all the courts from the lowest to the highest. The moot parliament is also organized during the year, ofticered by law students, and under the direction of the professor, and actual details of the workings of a legislatin~ assembly are practiced.
From its foundation the professors of the department have made it one of their chief duties to impress upon the students elevated ideas of the dignity of the law-to g"iYc tltem due appreciation of the great responsibility of the lawyer, to urge them to put the practice of the profe'>sion on a plane of high honor and integrity.
'fhe department has a library containing standm'il works. and receives from the State the Georgia reports and other pnblic books. The' equipments and furnishings in the lecture room are good, and being constantly improved.
The gmdllates of the department recein> the (lpgnoe of Dache'lor of Law of the Unh-ersity. 'f,,"o speakers f01' ConlllH'ncpnwnt Day arc chosen from the department.
The standard of instruction, already high, is being COlJstantl~- raised. The' chief nee'd of the department is ;t

238
longer course of instruction, which would enable the professors to elaborate and add to the present course. Some additions to the library and improvements in the equipment of lecture rooms would be advantageous.
UNIVERSITY DEGREES.
The degrees of Master of Arts and Master of Science are conferred in accordance with the following regulations:
1. A course or courses of graduate study in any school of the Fniversity ma.y be offered by the professor or professors in the several departments. Such courses shall be submitted to the University Faculty for its approval, and an assignment of time value.
2. Resident students, who may be qualified therefor, may be admitted to the graduate courses.
3. 'l'he Faculty will recommend for the University Degrees, Master of Arts, or ~Iaster of Science, any student who, having previously received the degree of Bachelor of Arts, or of Bachelor of Science in this University or other collegiate institution approved by this Faculty. shall complete satisfactorily at least three such graduate courses approved by the Faculty, the aggregate nominal time values of which shall not be less than fifteen hours per week; the Master of Arts to be given to those who pursue graduate studies in at least two literary schools, and the Master of Science Degree to those who pursue graduate studies in at least two scientific schoolfl.
The literary schools are understood to be English. Latin, Greek, Modern Languages. History and Political Science, and ~IetaphTsics and Ethics. The scientific schools are unden,tood to be Mathematics, Physics and Astronomy, Chemistry, Geology. and Biology.
4. Before an applicant shall be recommended for the degree of Master of Arts or Master of Science he shall be subjected to an examination by the Faculty. or a committee thereof, and pass the same satisfactorily. and shall present to the Faculty an acceptable thesis embodyingoriginal research in some topic connected with his grad'late work.

239
HONORARY DEGREES.
These are conferred by the Board of Trustees upon nomination by a committee (the Chancellor of the University and two members of the Board), such nominations being required to be made at least one year before action thereon is taken.
ELECTIVE COURSES.
In addition to the regular degree courses specified above, elective courses not leading to a degree may be arranged by a selection of any desired schools, subject to the approval of the Faculty. The Faculty strongly advises that specialization in studies should not begin before the student has received the general training given in one of the regular academic courses, and it is earnestly recommended, to those especially who propose to enter the learned professions, that they should first pursue to completion an academic course. If, however, for any cause, the student is unable, or does not desire, to purslw a complete course, short special courses may be arrangerl as furnishing valuable preparation for law, medicine, etc. These courses may be of one or two years' length. The following are suggested:
For Law: English, History and Political Science, MeTaphysics and Ethics, Latin or French or German, and one or more of the Physical Sciences.
For Medicine: Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Laboratory work, Free-hand Drawing, English, Metaphysics and Ethics, Latin, and French or German.
For Agriculture: There is offered in the State College a short course, to be given in three months, comprising instruction in English, Mathematics, History, Farm EIlgineering. Butter and Cheese making, Agricultural Chemistry, and Practical Agriculture, with exercises in the field, barn, dairy, etc.
This course is arranged especially for the benefit of farmers' sons, and others who cannot afford the time and money necessary for a full college course of 8tudy.

240
and yet desire a better preparation for their life-work than can be had at home. It is given in the winter, when the work on the farm is least pressing, and when the time can best be spared.
This course is open to boys over fifteen years of age. No examination for admission is required, and a good eommon school education will enable anyone of averagl:' ability to take the course with profit.
OTHER EDUCATIONAL WORK.
In addition to its main educational work above set forth, the University provides other agencies of education, as follows:
SUMMER SCHOOLS. Courses of instruction are given in several of the Uni versity schools during the summer vacation. At present such courses are regularly given in the schools of Latin, Greek, Mathematics, and Chemistry. Other schools offer courses irregularly, and as occasion requires. The chief object of the summer school is to alford teachers and special students an opportunity to devote a part of their vacation to advanced study. Provision is made, however, for yonng men preparing to enter the "Lniversity. and for those students of the University who may be defieient in one or more snbjects. The term begini:< .Tuly 1st and continues not less than six weeks.
MILITARY. In accordance with the provisions of the Land Scrip Act. there is a regularly organized Military Department in the State College. 'l'lH~ Adjunct Professor of Mathematics is the Commandant of Cadets. ExerC'i:'K's are held on :'\Ionday. \Vednesda~. and Friday of each w(>e:~. the months of .Tanuary and February excepted. and nIl students excepting members of the Law

241
and Senior Classes, are required to take par~ unless excused by the surgeon to the corps of cadets.
The total cost of individual equipment is $15.00. The Commandant of Cadets recognizing the fact that th0 existence of a Military Department in the University is due to the desire and intention on the part ot the Board of Trnstees to keep faith with the National Government, and yet conceiving that the board does not desire nor intend that the military shall be a dominant feature of the University,has endeavored to so adjust the machinery of the department that it shall in no way interfere with the other work of the institution. The object being to do everything possible to accustom the young men to obedience to law, to neatness and regularity, and to develop them ,physically. The instruction is for Infantry and is entirely practical, comprising the Setting up Exercises, Schools of the Soldier, Squad, Company, ano Battalion, special attention being paid to the Setting up Exercise. The equipment of the department is inadequate. 'nle armory is so small as to cause great inconvenieuce to men withdrawing or returnings arms. 'rhe indications are that during the present session there will be upward of two hundred men prepared to perfOl'Hl military duty. The armory contains all told one hundred Springfield rifles; a gun, which in the United States army is already absolete. It will not be lung before an equipment of modern arms must be provided: if the in~truction is to be of any practical value at all. In addition to tbis some provision should be made for pr.lctical nrtillery instruction, rifle practice, etc. 'l'he department should be in charge of an offieer who could devote his entire time to it. Theoretical instruction could then be given in ordnance and gllnnery, the art flf war, military engineering, and kindred subjects to such ~tudents as might desire it. 1'hc Board of Trustees has from time to time considered the advisability of having an army officer d6tailed to tnke charge of the department; but it has been finally
168r

242
decided not to try the experiment, and the reasons asl'ligned are:
1. That the University should not call on the National Government to do for it what, in accepting the Land Scrip Fund, it agreed to do for itself.
2. By act of Congress, the presence of an army officer would place, not only the Military Department, but the entire institution, under the supervision of the authorities at Washington. The University is a State institution, and as such the supreme authority over it is vested in the State Legislature. The supervision of the National Government is, therefore, not practicable.
LITERARY SOCIETIES.
There are two literary societies officially recognized in the University-the Demosthenian (founded in 1810), and the Phi Kappa (founded in 1820.) These are strictly student organizations, and are controlled and conducted by the students for mutual improvement in debate an"d literary exercises. They are encouraged by the University, however, and aided materially to the extent of provision of fuel, janitor service, etc., in their respective halls, and by the offer of medals for competitive debates. A reading-room with appropriate current periodicals and magazines is maintained in each society hall, at the expense of the University.. A number of Greek letter fraternities also contribute, more or less, to literary training, and other student organizations, such as science dubs, the engineering society, etc., are educational in special lines.
LIBRARIES.
The general library of the University is farge and well selected. It contains at present about 27,000 volumes, mainly of standard works. Students are permitted and encouraged to make free and liberal use of the books.

243
Each of the University schools has, in addition, a special library of books of reference and technical works, selected with great care, to which the students have ready access. The number of bound volumes added to the University libraries in 1895 was 1,632, valued at $1,350.
FARMERS' INSTITUTES.
Under the auspices of the State College of Agriculture and Mechanical Arts, Farmers' Institutes are organized and conducted at various places in the State. These institutes are meetings of farmers for the purpose of discussing agricultural topics in which they are specially interested. The president of the college is in charge of the organizations, and is assisted in the work of the institutes by other officers of the college and by experts in various branches of agriculture. The State Experiment Station (which is, nominally, "in connection with" the college) renders valuable aid, through its officers, in this educational work. Lectures are given, addresses made, and discussions engaged in. These institutes have contributed materially to the dissemination, among the farmers of the State, of a vast amount of vaJuable information, concerning scientific agriculture. During 1895-96 twenty-eight such institutes were held.
UNIVERSITY EXTENSION.
In the winter of 1892-3 a course of University extension lectures was given by the University in the city of Atlanta. Since that time other systematic work of that kind has not been undertaken, because of lack of means to carry it out, but the University officers stand ready to engage in this valuable educational work when conditions are favorable for its prosecution.

244
GOVERNMENT.
By legislative enactment (1889), the government of the University is vested in a Board of Trustees appointed by the Governor and approved by the Senate. One member is appointed from each congressional district, four from the State at large, and two from the city of Athen~. The term of office is eight years. The Governor and the Chairmen of the Commissions in charge of the School of Technology (Atlanta), the Girls' Normal and Industrial College (Milledgeville), and the College for Colored Youths (Savannah), are ex-officio members ,,1 the board. The board has, therefore, twenty-one members. The direct government of the University by the State emphasizes its position as a great public school, and is influential in impressing upon the students their duties and responsibilities as citizens. By statute, a Board of Vi+ itors (composed of "five experienced educators, citizens of this State") is appointed by the Governor annually to visit the University, attend its examinations, and report upon the condition and management of the institution.
DISCIPLINE.
The internal government and discipline are entrusted to the Chancellor and the University Faculty. No distinction is made between the students of the several colleges and departments; all enjoy the same privileges and all are amenable to the same regulations. The discipline is firm but mild, and the "honor system" prevails in all matters of conduct. The testimony of all impartial observers is to the effect that the tone of the University is high, and that the students, as a rule, are extremely manly in character and gentlemanly in behavior.
RELIGIOUS INFLUENCES.
As a State institution, the University is, properly, nonsectarian. No particular form of religious belief is

245
taught or enjoined. Under its charter, however, the institution is Christian in its character, and Christian ob-servances are, therefore, enjoined (provision being made, howev-er, under proper restrictions, for non-participation in acts of worship by those of other faiths.) Morning I'~ayers He held (laily, attendance upon which is obligatory, and students are required to, attend services in the church of their choice at least once on Sunday. The University provides a meeting-room for the University Y. M. C. A., and a very flourishing organization is maintaiu('d oJ ,:oluntary contributions of the University community. The Athens Y. M. C. A., which owns a larg\~ building with reading-rooms, lecture hall, gymnasium, tc., and engages the services of a permanent director, admits students of the University to all its privileg,~s -on special liberal terms. Bible classes and other services designed especially for students are conducted by members of the faculty, and the various church organizations in Athens co-operate in bringing religious influ('net's constantly to bear upon the students.
SOCIAL INFLUENCES.
The social surroundings at the University are of a most agreeable character. The relations between the students and professors are those of intimate friendliness, and social intercourse of students with the families of the University is frequent and unreserved. The many hospitable homes of Athens are freely open to the students; as has been said, "for more than a century the "college boy' has been the social ward of the Athens people," and the refinement and culture thus introduced into the student life goes far to explain the extraordinary and -,mhersal affection of th.. University men for their Alma Mater.
PHYSICAL CULTURE.
With the exception of the marked changes and wonderful improvement in primary methods, it is safe to say

246
that no features of the modern educational movement has received so great and so careful consideration as physical culture. In the past very little attention wa~ paid to the care of tbe physical body, other than it certain conformity or non-conformity, as it happened, to the ordinar.y laws of health. The provision of legitimate and healthy recreation in the form of athletic games was also considered a question beneath the attention of college faculties. The past few decades, however, have shown marked changes in this line. The physical examination of a student is now carefully made, and suitable means for the systematic development of the body are provided along with the means for mental and moral development.
The University of Georgia has never possessed a gymnasium of its own; consequently its efforts have necessarily been directed to the development of outdoor games. A portion of the campus has been set aside and put in order for baseball and football games, and another portion has been prepared for lawn tennis. In this way exercise is furnished to quite a number of the students.
The results of this movement have fully convinced the trustees and faculty of its advantages. Not only does the benefit accrue to those actively participating in the various games, but the influence extends to the whole University and makes itself felt by increased esprit du corps, the breaking down of college factions, and a disappearance of certain old college customs, undesirable from every standpoint, due to the provision of a legitimate outlet for college-boy spirit in the form of a hearty interest in the success of the various teams. Furthermore, the careful financial management by the ousmess managers of the teams has afforded an excellent illustration of commercial integrity and the strict application of sound business principles to student affairs. To guard against possible evil effects, the trustees, at their last annual meeting, requested the faculty to restrict the number of intercollegiate games played at a distance, with a view of finally holding all such contests on the University campus whenever adequate provisions for thesame shall be made.

247
In accordance with this request, the faculty has limited the number of football games to be played away from Athens 1:0 two, these to be played in Atlanta. Similar action will be taken regarding baseball.
It must be confessed that only a limited number of the students receive actual physical benefit under the present system. To reach all a gymnasium is absolutely necessary; a gymnasium which shall be properly equipped with modern apparatus, bathing facilities, dressing-rooms, etc., the whole to be superintended by a trained instructor. The duties of such an instructor would be to make a complete physical examination of every student attending th~ University, to keep a recoru of such examinations and from the data thus obtained to direct the exercise of each student in the most suitable manner. Such a plan is now followed in almost every institution of any prominence in the country". In many, as for example, Harvard, Yale, Johns Hopkins, and others, a certain number of huUfs of systematic gymnasium exercise is required before a student can take his degree. The results have fully justified the expenditures of both thought and money.
FELLOWSHIPS.
To encourage graduate work in the University, the Trustees have instituted certain fellowships in several of the University schools. The fellows pursue graduate courses, and are liable to be called upon to do a certain amount of tutorial work. The amounts paid to fellows are fixed by the Board of Trustees, and vary" from $300 to $500 annually. Competition for fellowships is open to graduates of the University and other approved institutions of learning, under specific regulations.
SCHOLARSHIPS.
The Charles McDonald Brown Scholarship Fund ($50,000, bearing interest at 7 per cent.) yields a revenue which, together with occasional additions thereto, made

248
by philanthropic friends of the University, is loaned on easy terms to undergraduates in sums, annually, of not less than $50, nor more than $250, to enable worthy young men of limited means to enjoy the advantages of the University. The loans are made under regulations designed to secure the best results, and to prevent abuse of the generosity of the founder (the late Joseph E. Brown.)
ADMISSION TO THE UNIVERSITY.
No student is admitted to the University who is undet' fifteen years of age. If a regular course is to be pursued, leading to an academic degree, written examinations for admission are held in the presence of the Faculty, or of a committee thereof. For admission to the Freshman Class of the Bachelor of Arts course, the following, or full equivalents, are required:
Latin.-l. The forms of declensions and' conjugation. 2. Cornelius Nepos and two books of Quintus Curtius, or, instead of both, fOUl' books of Cmsar's Gallic Wars may be offered. 3. Two orations of Cicero.
Greek.-l. Regular inflection of Attic prose. 2. Rules of accent. 3. Book I. of Xenophon's Anabasis, or an equivalent.
Mathematics.-Arithmetic complete, including the Metric System. Algebra-Well's College Algebra, as far' as Powers and Roots. Geometry-Wentworth's Plane Geometry, first two books, including the problems and the exercises.
English.-Candidates are examined upon the elementary principles of English grammar, including punctuation. They are required to correct specimens of bad English. In order to test the student's knowledge of orthography, grammatical construction, and punctuation, he is required to write a short composition of not less -than two hundred words, upon a subject taken from one of the following works: Shakespeare's Julius Caesar, Irving's Sketch Book, or Dicken's David Copperfield. of the following works: Shakespeare's Julius Cmsar, Irving's Sketch Book, or Dickens's David Copperfield.
For admission to the Freshman Class of the Bachelor of Science course, the requirements in Greek are omit-

249
ted; also in Latin, if Latin should not be one of the studies selected in the course.
The conditions governing admission to semi-professional and elective courses cannot be rigidly stated, but vary with the course which the student wishes to pursue. In every case the student must satisfy the Faculty that he is prepared to profit by the course selected. This may be done by requiring the applicant to stand appropriate entrance examinations, bearing upon the departments selected.
Examinations for admission are held at the University on the three days preceding Commencement Day, and the three days preceding the opening of. each session.
Under special circumstances the University may appoint teachers in the State to conduct examinations, thus allowing students living at distant points to be examined at their homes. Questions for these are sent from Athens, and the papers returned there to be passed upon.
Students are also admitted to Freshman Classes on certificate in the following form, from schools in the State, which apply for the privilege and are approved b.r the Faculty.

FORM OF CERTIFICATE.

This writing certifies that

has been a

pupil of this school .... years and

months; that he

has completed the exact studies required by the Uni-

Yersity of Georgia for admission to the Freshman class,

using the.text-books recommended by the University, in

the subjects herein specified, yiz.: Mathematics, Latin,

Greek and English. And with this express understand-

ing it is recommended that he be admittpd without fur-

ther examination.

.............. 189 ..

. Quite a number of prominent schools of the State are now on the University's "approYal" list, and others will be added on application, with evidence of ability to furnish, in good faith,the certificate requirell.

250
For admission to classes higher than the Freshman, examination is required upon all the WO'1'k of the lower classes, together with the ordinary entrance examination to the Freshman Class.
Inasmuch as t,he public school system of the State makes provisions only for primary education in the common schools and for collegiate education in the State University, preparation for the University is afforded only by private academies, or by the high schools forming a part of municipal school systems. In many sections of the State, the rural districts especially, facilities for such preparation are either insufficient or entirely wanting. The ,University endeavors to sustain the work of the preparatory schools as vigorously as possible, and for that purpose maintains such a standard as is feasibl(~ in its examinations for admission to its regular classes. Recognizing, however, the inability of many young men of suitable age and maturity to secure at home the proper preparation in all the departments, the University has provided in several of the schools for classes of instruction below the grade of freshman. Applicants for admission, who may be deficient in one or several of the branches in which entrance examinations are set, may, therefore, be admitted on condition that their deficiencies are made up, within a reasonable time, by attendance upon the classes thus provided.
EXPENSES AT THE UNIVERSITY.
No tuition is charged in any of the departments at Athens except the law school. A matriculation fee ($10) and a library fee ($5) are required of all i'ltudents. The military outfit costs $15.00, and students pay for materials actually consumed in the laboratories. The University has now no boarding-house under its control, but the "Old College" building on the campus furnishes comfortable lodgings for more than forty students. No charge is made for rooms in this building, and the use' of them is granted under special regulations. Table board can be had at the many excellent boarding-houses

251
in Athens for from $9 to $14 per month, and board with lodging for from $12 to $20 per month, Washing, fuel, and lights are estimated to cost about $30 per session.
Every effort is made by the authorities to secure proper and pleasant ac<;ommodations for students at the lowest possible cost.

TRAINING OF TEACHERS AT THE UNIVERSITY.
One of the incidental purposes for which the University was founden, was the training of teachers for the lower schools of the State. Previously to the civil war, many of the most distinguished and successful teachers of the private schools and academies were graduates of the University. Since the war a much larger proportion of the alumni have engaged in teaching both in the private and in the public schools of the State. They have universally been among the most proficient of such teachers. As indicative of the extent to which University men become teachers, it may be noted that for the ten years from 1885 to 1895 nearly 20 per cent. of the graduates of the academic courses of the University hav'3 engaged in teaching in schools of the State, Statistics are not available to determine the fact accurately, but it is probably true that equally as large a percentage of matriculates who did not graduate also engage in teach-
.ing.

ATTENDANCE AT THE UNIVERSITY.

Duringthe session of 1895-96 the number of students

in attendance at Athens was as follows:

In the Law School ",. " """,. , ... "., .. ',.,. 41

While these numbers are not what they should be, and not so large as is desirable, yet, taking into considerat~on the financial stringency of the year and the high

grade of requirements for admission maintained, they are a gratifying indication of the genuine demand of OUl' people for the higher education furnished at the University.
The indications for the session of 189,6-7, just begun, are that a very large increase in attendance over any session in the history of the University will be had.
NEEDS OF THE UNIVERSITY.
It scarcely requires argument to maintain that the University, while deserving, is entitled to the moral and the material support of the State authorities and people. A system of public education to be effective must be thor.. ough; must begin with the primary schools, go through all intervening grades, and end with the Universitythe institution of highest learning. The State is committed to such a system of public education by its organic law-the Constitution. It provides for the maintenance, at public charge, of the primary schools and of the University. It leaves-wisely perhaps-the provi sionofintermediate schools to private enterprises or local taxation. Stimulating education both at the bottom and at the top, it provides, in the one case, that education shall begin, for all the people, and, in the other, that it shall end only when the very best and the very highest education has been secured. In order that the secondary schools should be what they should be, it is necessary that the State should exercise equal care and liberality in the maintenance of both. ends of the educational process.
As will be seen from the reports on the condition of the various departments, the immediate and pressing needs of the University are:
INCREASED LECTURE-ROOM: SPACE.
Almost without exception the professors are handicapped in their work by the overcrowded and poorly equipped condition of their lecture rooms.

253
DEPARTMENT LIBRARIES.
A well-equipped library is absolutely essential to thf~ proper conduct of any department of the University. 'While the need along this line is more pressing in some than others, there is no department in the University but would be made more efficient by the expenditure of a comparatively small sum of money in this direction.
LABORATORIES.
The Chemical, Biological and Physical laboratories are greatly overcrowded, and some provision must be made for the increasing number of students which they are called on to accommodate.
ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING.
The University should offer a thorough practical course in Electrical Engineering. To this end a shop should be equipped and dynamos, motors, and other appliances pro vided.
GEOLOGY.
This chair has been vacant for some years past. Competent and well-equipped geologists and mineralogists are necessary to the future development of Georgia's natural resources. Most certainly the State University should be able to turn out such men.
ASTRONOMY.
The oldest of the sciences, its most notable advances have been made in very recfnt years and on American soil. There is not in the entire country an institution of like pretensions as the University of Georgia which does not include astronomy as a distinct school.
The University should have u: Chair of Astronomy.

~54
GYMNASIUl\L
The necessity for a properly equipped gymnasiumi in every institution of learning is recognized almost universally. The University has no gymnasium at all.
This is one of the most pressing needs of the institution.
MILITARY.
The military department should be at least sufficiently well equipped to enable the institution to keep faith with the National Government. At present the quarters are cramped and the equipment is inadequate.

Below will be found a comparative statement of what is being done for University education by this and other Southern States. These figures are taken from the 1893-94 report of the United States Commissioner of Education, and do not include appropriations to female or technical schools:

REPORT FROM THE GEORGIA STATE INDUSTRIAL COLLEGE.
THE PLAN OF ORGANIZATION OF THE GEORGIA STATE INDUSTRIAL COLLEGE.
The institution shall be styled "The Georgia State Industrial College for Colored Youths."
It should be organized, equipped and officered to present the following cQurse of training:
1. In the English Language and Literature. 2. In Mathematics. 3. In the Natural Sciences. 4. In the Mechanic Arts (wood and metal working) .. 5. In Agriculture. These to be the fundamental courses of study. Special courses may, however, be arranged by the officers for instruction in the languages (ancient and modern) and other branches of liberal education, as occasion requires. Instruction shall also be given in Mental and Moral Science and Military Tactics. The officers of the College should be: 1. A President, who should be charged with the general management of the College, subject to the general supervision of the Chancellor of the University. The President should give instruction in Mental and Moral Science, or such other branches as the Board of Trustees might determine. 2. An instructor in English. 3. An instructor in Mathematics. 4. An instructor in Natural Science. 5. A superintendent of the Mechanical Department. 7. A drill-master (who may be one of the instructors.) To each of these departments assistants and teachers may be added as need arises. S. A local treasurer, who may reside in the city of Savannah, who should give bond in the sum of $10,000, and

256
who should receive aud disburse, under'direetion of the Board of Trustees, all funds of the College.
9. There should be a proctor, who, under the direction of the President, should have charge and supervision of the buildings, grounds, and of the dormitories. The President of the College is placed in charge of the boarding department.
The President, the Instructors, the Superintendent, and the foremen should constitute the Faculty of the College. The Faculty should arrange the courses of study and the schedules of recitations, and make all necessary arrangements for carrying on the educational work of the College, subject to the approval of the Chancellor of the University and the Board of Trustees. The President and the Faculty should be charged with the discipline of the College on the same terms as now gOYern the administration of discipline by the Chancellor and Faculty of the University at Athens. The "Code of Laws for the Government of the University of Georgia," adopted by the Board of Trustees June, 1890, should be of force, so far as applicable, for this College. Such amendments as may be required may be made by the Board of Trustees from time to time. The college session should begin the first Wednesday in.October and close the first 'Wednesday in June. For admission into the College the applicant should not be less than fourteen yearsof age and ofgoodmoral character. He shouldbe qualified to pass satisfactorily an entrance examination, showing his ability to correctly read and write the English language, and to prepare original compositions; and in mathematics be sufficiently advanced to begin the study of algebra and geometry. The general curricu" lum of studies to be arranged by the Faculty, subject to the approval of the Chancellor and the Board of Trustees, so as to include a four years' course. On satisfactory completion of the general course the students may be graduated with a Certificate of Proficiency and the title of Graduate. Students may be admitted to special or elective courses of study. If, after the organization of the College, it should be deemed advisable to attach thereto a Preparatory Department, the Board of Trus-

257
-tees could take action to that effect at any time. The rate of board within the College grounds to be fixed by the Board of Trustees, and to be as nearly as possible .actual cost, not including the salary of the stewards or interest upon money invested in dormitory furniture, utensils, etc., but to embrace a moderate charge for ordi nary breakage and we~r and tear. Each student to be required to furnish his own bedding and toilet articles. Tuition to be free and admission to the students to bt~ in accordance with the act establishing the College. Each student to be required to make payment on entering of a matriculation fee of $5 for each annual session. No other fees to be charged except such as may be proper for cost of materials consumed in laboratory or mechanical work. In the matters of examinations, grades, monthly reports to parents and similar details, the practice at the State College of Agriculture at Athens shall be followed as closely as possible.
So far as posBible all manual labor in the College, such as farm work, care of grounds, buildings, dormitories and recitation rooms, making fires and ordinary repairs, -should be performed by the students under equitable assignments for the purpose by the President, and for such labor the students should receive compensation at the rate of 40 cents per day of eight hours. The recitation schedule should be arranged so as to permit such work to be done with as little interference as possible with the student's studies. But no' student should receive compensation for manual labor performed as a part of his educational course on the farm, in the machine shops, etc. The proctor should carefully keep record of labor performed by students and the President should certify -the record to the Treasurer.

COLLEGE.
The Georgia State Industrial College is a State institution, the only one of its kind in Georgia for colored youths. It is endowed by the general government and supported by the State. The grounds contain about eighty-six acres, consisting of thirty-five acres in the campus and fifty-one acres in the College farm. The campus, shaded by tall live-oaks, festooned by pretty pendant moss, is for natural scenery the most attractive in the State. The locationis perfectly healthful.
The College farm is separated from the campus only by the railroad by which passengers are conveyed from the city to our grounds. There are at present the following buildings on the grounds: Dormitory, two school buildings, chapel, farm-house, blacksmith shop, wheelwright, and carpenter shops, and four cottages for the professors..
The courses at present established are the Industrial, Sub-Normal and Collegiate.
ADMISSION.
For admission into the college, the applicant should not be less than fourteen years of age, and of good moral character. He should be qualified to pass satisfactorily an extrance examination, showing his ability to correctly read and write the English language and to prepare an original composition, and in mathematics be sufficiently advanced to begin the study of algebra and geometry. Provision has been made by the commission for the admission of students of a preparatory grade into the SubNormal or Preparatory course.
Students should make it a point to.be present on the opening day of the College. For special reasons students may be admitted at any time of the school year.

260
DEPARTMENT OF ENGLISH.
R. R. WRIGHT, A.M., PRESIDENT.
HENRY PEARSON, A.M., ASSISTANT.
The Department of English covers, practically, the three years of the normal course and one year of-the college course.
The basic study of this department is language. Its object is to give a thorough training in the proper use of the English language. It is here recognized that the ability to use simple English correctly is a most valuable acquisition; for certainly the supreme importance of an accurate knowledge of one's mother tongue cannot be overestimated.
Great stress is laid upon such reading and writing as will give a discriminating and practical use of good English, and while formal grammar is taught in a practical way, these lessons in reading and writing serve as examples in the actual use of words.
Literature and rhetoric are associated and so taught that they become a most potent aid in the training of correct expression of thought.
Indeed, nothing so contributes to the acquisition of It clear, simple English style as the prop"r study of good literature.
History and geography are taught together. The normal course includes also the reading of a few Latin authors, and Greek as far as the ~~nabasis. (See curriculurn.) The training is thorough and valuable. In the regular college course are taught Latin, Greek, German, and the various other subjects usually taught in Southern colleges. (Vide college curriculum.) The Department of Pedagogy is included in the Department of English.
ENGLISH GRAMMAR.
Hyde's Series of Language text-books is used. Additional exercises will be introduced, as the text-book will

261
be used only as a grade. The sentence is the unit of language, hence synthesis will be taught before analysig. Ideas precede terms. Principles are fully illustrated and used by the pupil before definitions or rules are committed. Considerable written work is done for drill in capitalization, punctualtion and orthography, and for applying the principles already learned. Thoroughness in appropriation is urged as well as thoroughness in acquisition.
COMPOSITION.
Swinton's New School Composition is used as a textbook. The principle of writing will be learned from the book, the art by practice, each student being required to write a composition of at least two hundred words each week. This composition will be carefully criticized in . the presence of the writer, and every error pointed out. Some of the best of these productions will be read before the entire 'school.
ENGLISH LITERATURE. The works of some of the best authors, both English and American, will be studied. The following are the methods employed: (a) A brief sketch of the author's life. (b) His works, their merits and rank. (c) Influence of literature on civilization. (d) A critical analysis and study of some of the masterpieces in regard to diction, and qualities of style, intellectual, emotional and esthetic. (e) Reports on works read, out of the classroom.
DEPARTMENT OF PEDAGOGY.
HENRY PEARSON, A.M., DIRECTOR.
The object of this department is to train teachers fOI' the public schools of the State. There are two courses of one year each.

262
Course I. (a) Psychology of Childhood. This subject will deal with the physical, intelleetual, and moral development of children. (b) Educational Psychology. This subject will deal with such topics as habit, imagery, attention, judgment and reason, with practical bearing on the work of instruction. (c) School Economy. (d) Civics and Ethics. (e) The best methods of teaching the common school branches. The common school laws of Georgia will be studied with a view of making the student familiar with the legal requirements and responsibilities of a teacher.
Text-books required: Kirkpatrick's Inductive Psychology, Painter's History of Education, 'Vhite's School Management.
Course II. This course consists of practice work. Each student in this department will be required to teach in the Model School and the Preparatory Department under the supervision of the Director and in the presence of the class. All errors will be noted by the Director and the class and discussed at a future meeting.
The Model School and the Preparatory Department embrace all the subjects of the common schools. Thus the practice work can be made comprehensive as well as thorough.
DEPARTl\1ENT OF MATHEMATICS.
FRANK E. COBB, A.B.
The branches of Mathematics embraced in this course areArithmetic, Algebra, Geometry (Plane, Solid and Analytical),Trigonometry (Plane and Spherical), Calculus (Differential and Integral.)
In the lower branches constant drill in examples and problems is given with a view of securing accuracy and rapidity of operation. Originality and independence of thought are encouraged by the introduction of a number of examples, both by the teacher and the students at the time of recitations.
In the higher branches opportunities for special course in Plane and Geodetic Surveying are offered.

263

A number of mathematical instruments will be used

in explaining and illustrating the more intricate truths

-of mathematics.

.

The arrangement of the course has in view the devel-

opment of the student's mind in accordance with the ac-

cepted laws of mental growth.

Thoroughness, rather than rapid advancement through

the text-book, is aimed at.

A system of grading by marks is used to stimulate the

most vigorous activity of the student's mind.

"SCIENTIFIC DEPARTMENT.
D. C. SUGGS, A.M., DIRECTOR.
The design of this department is to furnish a general 'knowledge of all the subjects usually embraced in a 'scientific co<urse, to encourage research and original investigation, and to awaken snch love and inspiration for the work that its various paths may be successfully pur-sued ina:fter years.
The suojects are arranged in such manner as to naturally ,.co;ordina:te, and the student is advanced by such regular gradations that his horizon is broadellf~d, and he .sees order and design, as well as new phases of beauty, "at each step of his progress.
The course embraces the principal subjects of both Natural History and Physical Science. Care is taken to .emphasize those subjects which subserve the most prac tical purpose.
In Physics, the laws of molecular energy and meehan'ical motion are dwelt upon and impressed with a view 'of subserving practical benefits in the studies of manual training. In chemistry the relations of the elements and compounds formed are studied with a view of aiding a comprehension of the subjects of organic chemistry, -especially with reference to scientific agriculture.
The methods of instruction are those generally accepted as being best suited to develop rea~\)n. The top"ics are presented in the relation of cause and effect, or ,observation before an investigation of the reason why.

264

To aid this purpose, experiments and object-lessons are-

used to demonstrate the advantages accruing from an

intelligent application of these laws. The excellent and'

growing outfit of physical and chemical apparatus aids.

a clear demonstration of nearly every truth taught in

the various branches of, physical science. To insure an,

intelligent and independent grasp of the subject, each

student is required to make a full report of each serieS'

of experiments performed, giving the reason why of phe-

nomena observed.

Every student in the course is required to perform

the experiments under the direction of the instructor,

but to encourage independence of thought, students are

urged to manufacture such instruments and arrange

such contr'ivances as their ingenuity will allow. This ef-

fort along the line of originality is given ample play in a

room connected with the laboratory supplied with tools,_

to which students have free access.

The course embraces Natural Philosophy, Chemistry,

Physiology, Botany, Physical Geography, Astronomy,_

Geology, Mineralogy, and Scientific Agriculture.

Each subject is studied with all the care the time will

permit. Physiology is made to embrace both Physiology

and Hygiene, and a careful application of the laws of

health is insisted upon. The evil effect"" of tobacco and

alcoholic drinks are impressed by lectures and illustra-

tions.

i

DEPARTMENT OF MANUAL TRAINING.
W. WILSON COOKE, DIRECTOR.
Manual training, as an important factor in the education of the youth, is no longer a theory, but a fact.
After years of experience, we find manual training elevated to the position of a necessary element in the thor-ough development of youths.
This branch of training, as taught by us, differs from. the training in other sections of the country, as our industrial pursuits differ from theirs.
Our aim is to fit young men for practical work.

265

Before presenting a sketch of last term's work (years'

of 1895-96) we beg leave to call attention to the effect

(physical, mental, and moral) that manual training has.;

upon pupils.

1. The long monotonous school day, in which there is'

nothing ,to break the spell of study and regular recita-

tions, makes the acquiring of an education more a punish-

ment than a pleasure. Besides a schoolroom well filled'

with pupils, soon becomes ladened with foul atmosphere

not the most conducive to one's best health. To avoid

such misfortune our schedule of recitations is so arranged'

as to have a class report to some literary branch one pe-

riod, and the period following to the shops. Such plan

not only enables the boy to change from' foul to pure at-

mosphere, but makes it possible for him to change from

mental to physical labor. It also gives him a much-

needed exercise with which to overcome the monotony

of his sedentary work.

2. The mind is given a greater scope of work by the

coupling of manual and literary training than could be'

possibly acquired in literary work alone; power of appli-

cation is cultivated. Applied geometry is unconsciously

interwoven into his work; and above all the boy culti,

Yates a degree of accuracy which runs ilS the golden

thread of success through his whole life, whether that

life be of a professional, mechanical, or commercial na-

ture.

3. TJnder this head, a statement made by Superintend-

ent Ralliet in his address before the Massachusetts State-

Teachers' Association, is wholly appropriate.

Mr. Balliet remarked: "What does manual training

H(;(;omplish in the way of developing moral character?

"In the first place, it develops a respect for manual lao

bor, and helps to eradicate the vicious notion from the minds of young people, and from the minds of their pa

"

rents. that selling goods over a counter at $5 a week is

more geJlh~el than laying bricks at $3 a day. Finding a;~

they do, that skill in manual occupation is as difficult

to a,'q uire ns a knowledge of mathematics or of a dead'

language, they realize that it demands a high order of

brain power, and that those who engage in manual labol"

266
-of a skilled kind may be the intellectual peers of those who are supposed to be brain-workers. Associating as they do in their minds the literary or academic work of the school with the shop work, raises their appreciation of the dignity and worth of the latter."
And, too, nothing appeals so completely to a boy's manhood as the feeling of self-dependence. This work in the shops prepares him for a broad field of usefulness.
'While we do not claim to send forth from the school "skilled mechanics," yet we feel no misgivings in saying that our boys, after having completed our "three-yearcourse" in this department, will compare favorably in practical work with regularly apprenticed youths of the same term of years. More, the boy coming from the college shops knows his work scientifically. He knows for what reason he places a timber or iron at a given angle. His course has given him knowledge of strength of materials, methods of giving estimates, and above that he has received three years of training in the literary branches. of which the apprentice is ignorant, and without which no mechanic of this day and century can hope to accomplish much.
;SKETCH OF WORK DONE IN DEPARTMENT FOR TERM OF 1895-96.
Not considering repairs, which were many and important, we will speak of the buildings.
The magnificent chapel and model school building, which has just been completed, is a monument to the industrial feature of the college. This building, 58x80; two stories; t~wer 74 feet high; four rooms on (1) floor; 'chapel on (2) floor with seating capacity of 800, was erected by pupils. The class in carpentry did the woo(l work; class in masonry built foundations and chimneys, .and class in painting its part of the task. The plans and elevations were made by the Director of the Manual 'Training' Department, and the work carried on under his 'supervision. As an excellent piece of workmanship we -:think the building will stand criticism.

267
The question has often arisen as to whether boys take courses in manual training as a matter of choice or to conform with course as laid down in catalogue. Upon that most important question, and from our experience, we would like to say that, whereas a few veal'S back boys took hold of the work with reluctanc~ and without thought, they now, in our school, almost to a man, hasten to their benches and vie with each other for the highest standing as to neatness and accuracy of work. 'Tis highly gratifying to note the increased zeal with 'which they labor. In fact, such progress has been made in the past two years until last commencement for the first time in our school's history, "Certificates of Proficiency" were presented to several young men.
The work done in this department is of a high order; and for the order of this work and manner of instruction our school was awarded a medal at the Cotton States and International Exposition, held in Atlanta, Ga., in 1895.
METHODS OF INSTRUCTION.
The classes report to shop five days each week-to metal and woodwork (one period each every day), thus giving ten hours per week for each pupil. . The course runs through three years. First and secDnd years as per course in catalogue; third year, elective.
The method of instruction is theoretical and practical. A drawing is put on blackboard, by instructor, of an object, in wood or metal, with dimensions, length, width and thickness. The pupil is required to delineate on paper the blackboard sketch, and from his drawing he makes the real model-in wood or iron as the drawing calls for.
On the drawing and work the pupil is marked, and an average of his monthly work determines his standing at close of term. This method is followed through two veal's. 'fhe third year, which is elective, is then begun ;nd consists of lectures and chiefly practical work. After 'a student's satisfactory completion of the three years' 'work he is awarded a "Certificate of Proficiency."

268
Students who can do proficient service are compen~ sated for same.
The Manual Training Department consists of architectural drawing and mechanical drawing; blacksmithing, carpentry, masonry, and painting and glazing.

DEPARTMEN'f OF AGRICULTURE.
R. H. THOMAS, SUPERINTENDENT.
The aim in this department is to give the student III practical as well as a scientific knowledge of farming. The College Farm contains a little more than fifty acres of land, a large part of which is now under cultivation. This farm presents an excellent opportunity to young men to become skilled farmers.
In accordance with the demand of the age for scientific farmers, there will be taught, in connection with the actual work and experiment upon the farm, the various branches of science relating to agriculture.
The farm is fairly well supplied with the latest agricultural implements. A good barn has been erected for' the stock, etc. The Superintendent's tasty and comfortable dwelling adds to the attractiveness and home-like appearance of the farm.
Attention will, also, be given to stock-raising and creamery. This department has been able in the past year to give employment to a number of young men, for which they received extra pay. In this way several industrious young men made, during the year, more than all their expenses by extra work on the farm.
The work in this department in no way interferes with the prosecution of the regular literary studies.
GENERAL INFORMATION.
APPROXIMATE EXPENSES.
l,-'fuition made free by law to all citizens of Georgia. 2.--Boarding furnished in the Steward's Hall at the
lowest cost, say $6.25 per calendar month, which will aggregate $50 for the scholastic year of eight months. ;; --\Yashing can be had at 75 cents per month. 4.---Books wiII be obtained at the lowest possible rates' fill d furnished to students without profit. li.--l\le(liral attention will be at a very moderate rate

271
G.-To aid students in meeting their necessary ex-penses, work on the College Farm is offered them, at reasonable pay, and all are required to do sume manual work.
No student received unless board is paid, or satisfactory arrangements are made therefor, in advance.
HOW TO REACH THE COLLEGE.
~tudents arriving on any train at Savannah will leave their trunks at the depot, retaining their ~hecks, and take any street-car which will transfer them to a Thunderbolt car. They will then have only a few hundred yards to walk to the College.
At certain hours the City and Suburban Electric Cars bring passengers from any depot to the College gates;. fare, 8 cents. Inquire of the street-car conductor.
STUDEN'l'S MUST BRING. Students in the Boarding Department will be furnished fuel, lights, and comfortable bedding free; but must bring their own sheets, pillowslips, blankets, or other bed-covering with them; also Bible, song book and dictionary.
SCHOLARSHIPS. As yet, belonging to this College, there are no scholarships. Needy students aid themselves to a limited degree by work. There is, ho,wever, a desire on the part of the Faculty to induce philanthropic persons to establish a few scholarships of $32 each for such worthy students as may not be able to remain in school unless thus aided to finish their course. Here is a magnificent opportunity for some benevolent person to do good. The State College is loeated in a section of Georgia tributary

272
10 portions of South Carolina and Florida, all of which have hitherto been deprived, as has been this section of ,Georgia, of the advantages of such a school as the Georgia State Industrial College. This College must, therefore, in the very nature of the circumstances, become a great and leading force in the educational development 'of these portions of the States named.
THE JENNIE E. BILL LIBRARY. Through the kindness and generosity of ,Miss Jennie E. Bill, the College has been the recipient of a number o'f books, and as an appreciation of this favor, the library has been named the .Jennie E. Bill Library. Donations have been made by several other friends, for which we are thankful. At present the library consists 'of 300 volumes. vVe are anxious to increase this number as rapidly as possible, and therefore solicit donations of good books from our friends.
SOCIETIES.
'l'HE Y. M. C. ASSOCIATION.
There has been organized a Young Men's Christian As, 'sociation, under whose direction are carried on prayermeetings and other devotional exercises. 'fhis societJ has been of great value to the students, and has been instrumental in keeping alive a healthy religious feeling 'i~ the school. It is hoped that some philanthropi,; perRon will donate to the Young Men's Christian Association 'such literature as they need.
I~ITERARY SOCIETIES. A Phi Kappa Literary Society has been organized by 1:he young men in the College Department and has been

273
a great stimulus. The Philosophian includes among its members all the students of other classes.
These societies present ample opportunity for acquiring readiness in declamation, debate, etc.; one or the other of these societies meets each week.
TEACHERS FURNISHED. One of the objects of this institution will be to supply the demand for competent teachers for this section of the State. To this end we invite correspondence with the County School Commissioners. Noone will be recommended from this school as a teacher who is not thought, in our judgment, to be thoroughly competent. It is expected that the next Legislature will enact that a Certificate of Proficiency granted by the Faculty of the Georgia State Industrial College shall be sufficient license to teach in any of the colored public schools of the State.
MAIL AND POST-OFFICE. There is established at the College a regular post office The name of the office is "College, Ga." All mail should be plainly directed to COLLEGE, Chatham County, Georgia.
BILLS PAYABLE. All bills for board and washing are due on the day of entry and on the first of each calendar month thereafter.
LABOR. On the farm and about the College certain work can be performed by the students. For all such labor not
18sr

274
instrnctive and not a part of the regular course, students who perform it will be paid 5 cents per hour. All students are required to work; therefore, sickly persons or weaklings are not desired.
It is expected that each pupil shall work a half hour per day without compensation.
