REPORT OF THE State School Commissioner OF GEORGIA 'ro THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY FOR 1895. G. R. GLENN. STATE SCHOOL COMMI"Sl'ON ER. ATLANTA, GEORGIA: GEO. W. HARRISON, STATE PRINTER, Franklin Printing and Publishing Company. 1800. 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. 9 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. 14 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: Counties.

" " 601,572 00 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. 29 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. 30 UNIVERSITY OF GEORGIA.

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. 61 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. 63 COLORED INSTITUTES. MARIETTA, GA., July 4, 1896. The Peabody Institute at Marietta ran from June 8th, to July 3d. Director, E. L. Chew; assistants, H.

"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. 67 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. MADISON INSTITUTE. MADISON, GA., July 16, 1896. HON. G. R. GLENN, State School Commissioner, Atlanta, Ga. DEAR SIR :-1 have the honor to submit herewith the final report of the Institute work begun here on the 22d of June and finished to-day. 1st. \Ve had an attendance of two hundred and seventy (270), representing thirty-five counties from Fulton on the north to Burke on the south, and from Richmond on the east to Muscogee on the west, and excepting the Georgia State Industrial College, at College, Ga., below Savannah, all the higher institutes in the State, as well as some of the best schools in the State were represented. It is not too much to assert that a most interested, earnest body of teachers were assembled to get larger equipment for effective service in the schoolr06m. 2d. In accordance with your instructions, five hours a 68 day were devoted to work, and at each daily session there' was a regular and punctual attendance. 3d. My assistants were well qualified for the efficient discharge of the duties committed to their hands, and the' manner in which they did their work gave entire satisfaction to all concerned. Between them and myself perfect harmony prevailed as it did also throughout the Institute from the first day to' the last. 4th. From a careful study of results attained here, the' ambition aroused to know more, the determination to render better service, and the desire to meet at stated times to exchange ideas and compare methods, I regard it as my candid conviction that you have devised a plan for the benefit of our teaehers which as to worth is invaluable, and. as to utility, indispensable. 5th. Permit me to make grateful acknowledgment of my obligations to you for the opportunity to serve my fellow teachers, and to assist you in your efforts to advance the cause of normal education in Georgia. With sentiments of the highest regards, I am, dear sir, Very Respectfully, '\V. E. HOLMES, Director. RESOLUTIO;,\S. "Whereas, Teaching is coming more and more to be regarded as one of the learned professions, and our State School Commissioner, Professor G. R. Glenn, is one of the foremost advocates of the times, in emphasizing the importance of raising the standard of teaching by devising plans for the special preparation of teachers in Georgia; Therefore, be it resolved, That we, the teachers of the Peabody Institute at Madison, representing thirty-one counties, hereby give expression to our deep sense of ~rati- 69 itude to Commissioner Glenn, for the inauguration of the movement in the form of Peabody Institutes for our special instruction ill teaching. Resolved further, That we heartily indorse his efforts to -combine Institutes at convenient points in the States for 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. 99 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. 100 \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. 104 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 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. 8sr 114 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'. 116 CITY SCHOOL SYSTEM-SOME NEEDED 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. ' ~ P. D. POLLOCK. 127 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 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. OFFICE OF STATE SCHOOL COMMISSI~ER, Atlanta, Ga., May 6th, 1896. To the 'County School Cimmissioner: My Dear Sir-I desire information from the records of :your county on the followiug points.

OFFICE OF STATE SCHOOL CmlMISSIONER, May 12th, 1896. 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 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.

Enrollment in Music Department .. Enrollment in Art Department . Enrollment in Business Department " 176 2G . .4 Total , Literary Department . . . ..

Total '" . .................... 19~ :'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. LYMAN HALL, President, Atlanta, Ga. STATE NORMAL SCHOOL. ATHENS, GA., September 21, 1896. Han. G. R. Glenn, S. S. C., Ex-Officio Chairman Commission State Normal School .. My DEAR SIR :-1 respectfully submit to you the following statement of the operations of the State N Ji. l,j'ary and literary charts. 146r 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.

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. DEGREES. The University confers five classes of degrees, viz.: Academic, Semi-Professional, Professional, University, and Honorary.

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 Franklin College" " "" , .. ' '.

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: Virginia . . .. ,. " ..

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. 178r 258 BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS.
