~tlanta, Ga., October 1st, 1898. His Excellency, Governor TV. :Y. Atkinson.
My DE)ar Sil'.-I take pleasure in submitting herewith _ the annul,tl report which the law requires from this Depart-
ment. . The report contains many important matters which I trust the Legislature will consider carefully during their next session. Your Exc~ellency has given thoughtful and practical consideration to many of the subjects discussed in this report, and I trust that some mention may be made of them in your annual message to the General Assembly.
Very respectfully, your obedient servant, G. R. GLF;NN,
State School Commissioner.

THE TWENTY-SIXTH ANNUAL REPORT
FROM THE
DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION
TO THE
GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE STATE OF GEORGIA.
Gentlemen:-In obedience to the law requiring an annual report from this Department; I beg to submit therewith such statements 'and recommendations as are suggested by the present status of the school system of the State.
The law requires that the Commissioner of Education shall visit the ,counties of the S'tate as often as possible "for the purpose of examining into the administration of school law, counseling with school officers, delivering popular addresses, inspecting school operations, and doing such other acts as he may deem subservient to the interest of popular education." The spirit of the law seems to require that the Commissioner of Education shall be not only in close, sympathetic association with the school officers and teachers, but also in personal touch with the masses of the people as well.
I have given a great deal of my time, not only to official inspection of the schools and the administration of the law in the 137 counties of the State, but I have given a great deal of time also to a close and personal study of the actual educational conditions and the educational needs of all these counties. In the hundreds of addresses on education that I have delivered I have appealed to the personal and

individual interest of our people, and have endeavored to arouse a healthy, educative sentiment, as well as a vital sense of responsibility on the part of. parents in the cause >of popular education.
Here in Georgia, as elsewhere, a public school system can be no better than public sentiment demands that it shall be. The people themselves must be brought to feel the need of a more complete and practical system of education before any permanent improvements can be made in the present. system. I ha~e gone, therefore to the people direct, and whatever has been accomplished in the last four years has been accomplished in obedience to the sympathetic and helpful support that the masses have given to the administration of our school affairs. It we have builded more school house~ in the last four years than have been built in many years previous, it is because the people have determined to better their school conditions. If the teachers have made steady and rapid strides in their professional advancement, it is because the masses of our people have made larger. demands upon the 'capacity of the teaching profession. If larger appropria:tions and longer school terms have been provided for our children, these too have come in response to a demand from the people of Georgia. If we are to have continual growth in the system of education in Georgia, it will be because the people themselves will constantly enlarge their own views of the value of a ceaseless and vigorous impartation of new life and new health into our system of popular education.
Certain it is that the people of Georgia have made up their minds that there shall be no backward steps iB the cause of education in this State. As in the coJIlIilercial world and in the financial world, in the manufacturing world and in the agricultural world, the watchword of the hour has been and will be "Forward, March I" 80 in the

7
~ducational world the cry comes up from every county in this State for 'a forward movement from every line of our educational forces. We ,are confronted in Georgia with new conditions. On ever.y hand there are not only new conditions but new movements. The environment that is :about our children is altogether different from the environment that was about our own childhood.. Our children will be called upon to engage with forces and combat with powers that were unknown to our :fathers. The world of science, the world of commerce, and the world of agriculture 'are all bringing into play new devices and new forms of .energy that will make larger demands upon the intelligence .()f our children than were made upon their fathers.
The system of education that was in vogue even twentyfive years ago will not do for the present hour. Whenever in the history of this world a new era has come, the old devices and the old arts land ,the old sciences have been thrown aside, and the new devices and the new arts and the new sciences have taken the place of the old. Oivilization is constantly giving us more and more. In no department of human endeavor has there been greater growth and greater enlargement of power than has come in recent years to the department of education. The world everywhere has focused its eyes upon the child. In every nation under the sun to-day, the question is being asked as it never was asked before, "What oan be done to advance a larger, freer and fuller growth of civilization through the child life, of t.he people?"
Our own people here in Georgia are studying the children and what will affect the life and destiny of the children They are coming "to live with the children." In the last Tour years in the course of my ministry of education in this
State, r have said, not one time but a thousand timeb;
'Surely, surely, the hearts of the fathers are turning more

8
and more, not only to the waiting opportunities that lie.ahead of our children, but to the measureless resources that lie within our children."
No thoughtful observer can travel over this State as I have done and not become painfully conscious of the many kinds of waste that have been allowed to go on in all sections of our State. There has been waste in our forestry,_ waste in our agricultural fields, waste in (mr power, waste in all forms of our energy, waste in our polltical life, waste in our social life, and waste everywhere. The problem beforeus ,as a people is how to redeem the losses that have come from the waste, and how to utilize the tremendous resources of the State. The remedy that we are looking for must be found within ourselves. It cannot be found outside of ourselves. We would just as well make a clear and cleaTh confession that ignorance has been the costliest burden that we have had to bear. Not the ignorance of a few but the ignorance of the many. An intelligent oligarchy never has. brought and never can bring the best fruits of civilization. Only a widespread and an all-prevailing intelligence of a strong and vigorous and growing democracy can bring out of Georgia her grandest and noblest possibilities. There hasbeen waste in our fields and waste in our forests,and wastein our homes, and waste of our energies everywhere, simply because the great masses of our people have not known how to ,apply the highest and best form of intelligence to the conditions that havecorifronted us. We are now in a transition stage. We have seen how costly a thing ourignorance has been. The fierce competition that has been going on for years past for the highest and best prizes of lifehas taught us that the man who is practically and usefully intelligent is the only man that has a chance to win now. This practical intelligence applied to one 'acre of land nowmakes that one acre produce three times as much as the-

same acre did twenty-five years ago. The loom in our ~anufactoriesweaves twicoas much cloth, and better cloth, tha}.: the loom did twenty-five years ago. The engine that pulled our cars twenty-five years ago pulled twenty loaded cars of 20,000 pounds to the car. The engine that is used to-day pull& sixty cars of 60,000 pounds to the car, and consumes no mor<1 coal than the engine did twenty-five years ago. No mattel" in what direction We turn we see that everywhere intelligqnce is being applied to the stopping of the waste. One man with a machine to-day, applying his intelligence to that machine, can accomplish what it required ten men thirty years ago to accomplish. The world is not moving backward, it is going forward. vVe are moving forward here in Georgia; we are not only stopping the waste of our material resources, 'but what is infinitely better, we have begun to stop the waste of our intellectual energies. The wealth of our brain is infinitely more to us than the wealth of our hills and valleys.
I have an abiding faith that our sons and daughters will see a grander Georgia than ,ally-of us have seen, because we shall make them capable of doing more for the State than we have been able to do. I believe there are greater things beyond us than we can find behind us, and I believe this because I see ,a growing spirit among our people everywhere that will demand for all of our children a broader and deeper <Und more potential intellectual life than our fathers were able to dev.elop in us. I do not know better how to characterize this spirit than to call it the public school spirit. Our pearle are beginning to be baptized with it. It is silently but powerfully working its way into our social, political, and business life. It is the spirit that is finding larger possibilities in the brains of Georgia children than can be found in all of our mountains and valleys. It is the spirit that is demanding more and more that Georgia

10
brains shall be utilized in the development of Georgia re~ .sources. I 10'ok hopefully and cheerfully to the all-pervading influence of this public school spirit. It is touching and sweetening and brightening ,all of our homes, the humblest as well as the highest. It is carrying hope and good <lheer and light to thousands ialld thousands of young lives who would otherwise be hedged in by the curse of ignorance and shut up to the hopelessness and helplessness of despair.
INDUSTRIAL EDUCATION.
In my judgment the time has come to add new features to our system of public educa,tion in Georgia. Within the last ten years in many countries of the world radical changes have 'been made in the methods and purposes of public education. The most radical of these changes has been the introduction of some form or other of manual or industrial training. In Switzerland, Germany, Austria, France and elsewhere in the old world, as well as in nearly al1the leading States of this country, there has been embodied a course of instruction, the purpose of which is to train the child's hand, or rather to develop it<! mental powers through the use of its hand. Modern psychologists, who have given a great deal of studyto the development of the brain, have reached the conclusion that a large p_art of the brain can only be developed by tae training that comes through the hand. The old system of education employed, for the development of the brain, the sense of sight and the sense of hearing. The modern system of education demands that the sense of touch, of which the hand i~ the chief organ, shall be added. In other words the theory of the mode:rn psychologists is that the three principal areas of the brain are developed by use of the hearing, the sight and the touch, and th'at the child cannot be naturally and nonnally devel-

11
oped unless all three of these organs are employed together. If this be true, and all the world has come to accept it as being true, then it seems that there should be added to our {Jourse of study whatever may 'be found necessary to develop the brain throu~h the hand as well as through the eye and the ear.
It is a matter of common experience that a gre:at many children that have gone through our Grammar Schools, and our High Schools even, have found themselves in a {Jondition of helplessness at the end of their course of study. I do not know any more pitiable condition in which a young life can be placed than that of the graduates of our schools who awake to a realization that, after all their training and education, their appeals f0r situations are answered by the stereotyped phrase "not wanted." There must be something radically wrong in our system when so many thousands of our young people .come out of our S<Jhools and have to be branded on their graduation day: "not wanted." The question is, why are our children marked "not wanted" after they have gone through our schools? The trouble must be in the character of the scllool work and in the kind of preparation that has failed to supply to the children the proper equipment for the work they are expooted to do. The simple truth is that our present system of public education in Georgia tends to lead our children to seek employment other than manual labor. The radical defect in our system is that it educates our boys and our girls to desire a way of escaping manual labor when there ought to be embodied in the system a training that will prepare the children to engage in some form or other of manual toil. For the next fifty years in Georgia, the man who will be wanted is the man who can make the most intelligent use of his hands along with his eyes and his ears. The skilled manual labor that will have to be applied in the develop-

12
ment of our industrial resources ought to be trained here at home. We should not be driven to the necessity of importing the kind of labor that Georgia will want on her farms, in her manufactories, in her foundries, in her machine shops and elsewhere. The potential citizen of the future will be the citizen whose hands have been trained to do things that the world wants done and that the world is willing to pay for. This training, so necessary to our present situation, must be provided for our children here at home ,and while they are at school. It is necessary therefore to change the ideal that has grown out of our present system. Instead of training our children to escape labor with their hands, we want to train our children so that every one of them will be potential for usefulness by reason of the fact that the public school has given to every child and intelligent skill that will enable it to find its plaee as soon as it is free from school. That is a g1'ld hour in the career of every young life when it awakes to the consciousness that it is ready to do some serviee that the world is waiting for and for which service ready and adequate compensation is also waiting. I would not abate one jot or one tittle of the academic training that we are giving our children; but the point that I desire to press home upon the Legislature is this, that our present system of educllition is turning loose upon the State too many young people who neither desire to do the kind of work they can find to do, nor are they prepared to do this work The thought that has been steadily instilled into the minds of our children has been that if they can get an education they can escape hard work. The thought that we want to put into the minds of our children is that they need a kind of education that will enable them to do intelligently ano. pleasantly and profitably the hardest kind of manual labor.
I need not urge further upon the Legislature the neces-

13
sity for insisting upon industrial education for our children at the present moment. Every member of this body knows' that the future of Georgia depends largely upon the character of the ind'ustrial development that may be carried on in the State for years to come. \Ve have been for the most part an agricultural people. One of the products of our llgriculture is a staple that is wanted all over the world. Georgia produces more cotton than any other State in the Union except Texas. Nearly all of our raw cotton has been shipped out of the State to be worked into manufactured product elsewhere. It is a well-known principle in political economy that those who simply produce raw material and ship that raw material elsewhere will always be more or less dependent upon the manufacturers of the raw material. The manufacturer can easily put his business into a trust, especially when he is so far removed from the producer of raw material and he can fix the price hoth of the raw material and the manuadured product. It has been found practically impossible for those who produce the raw material either to form a trust 01' to limit the amount of production, 'So that the producer of raw material in Georgia has been at the mercy of the manufacturer of this mw material in Massachusetts. This further is true and is beginning to be felt in Georgia. Hereafter the raw matm-ial must be converted into manufactured products in the field where it is produced. A tremendous saving of freight charges and commissions and other incidental expenses is thus secured and this saving goes largely to the produ-cer of the raw material. Every day makes it more and more manifest that Georgia must work into manufactured products here at home every bale of cotton that she produces. If we are destined in our day and generation to reach the highest stage of prosperity to which our resources entitle us, we must prepare our children to work up our raw material

14

. , here at home. We have not only our cotton fiber bUt~we.

have our hard WQods and our oreS and a thouaa.nd SOUJ'ee8' of

iiwe wealth that will give endless variety to our labor,

will

only train our children in the schools to apply theirenel'giea
to this form of industry. The German maxim is reeog..

nized the world over as containing the truth on this subject.

"Whatever changes are to be made in the life of a nation .or

people must be introduced into the lives of'the children at

school.

There is another important phase of this subject to which

I beg to call 'attention. It is a matter of common observa-

tion that the criminals who are arraigned before our courts

of justice are not always ignorant people. Too frequently

it has happened that some of the brightest boys and girls

that have gone through our schools have become addicted

to vice and followed a career of crime. In such cases the

trouble has been that these people have not been trained at

school to ha'bits of industry that might have saved everyone

of them. Mere book learning will not save any nation nor

the children of any people. Along with book learning, in

every case, whether a child be rich or poor, should go a train-

ing of the hand, and a conscious skill "developed, that will

make every boy and every girl a producer of wealth. The

moral character of a man is fixed more by what he can do

with his hands, than by what his eye can read out of books.

In the opinion of the very best thinkers of the world on this

subject, it is not safe to turn a boy loose upon the world

until his moml character as well as his mental habits have

been fixed by the training for some useful industry that

romes with his hands. In the capital of this State, as weH

as in the centers of political, social, intellectual, moral and

religious influences everywhere, men whose judgments are

honored, whose opinions are sought for and who are poten-

tial for good in every department of life, are the men who,

15
back in the formative years of life, have had the mental discipline and the fixing of moral character that comes through 'hard manual labor. The men who have done the most and the best for this world have come up out of "great tribulation." Their sons in many instances have become degenerate from the simple fact that they have been allowed to escape the hard discipline of manual toiL
The Zurich (Switzerland) School law of 1832 defines the purpose of popular education as follows: "The people's school shall train the children of all classes of society, according to uniform principles, to ,become intellectually active, civilly useful and morally good men and women." It will be observed that the Swiss people, more than fifty years ago, under the inspiration of the famous reformer, Pestalozzi,put three elements into the Swiss system of education that oughtto be in ,every system of education. Intellectual ,activity, eivil usefulness and moral goodness were the three things that the school was. to call'e for. Any form of intellectual activity that does not lead to usefulness and goodness is worth very little to the world. Those who travel in Switzerland and study the results 'of the Swiss system of education tell us that there are no beggars and very few law-breakers in that little Republic. The children in the humblest peasant homes are taught to convert the raw material that the Republlc produces into manufactured products of one kind or another. A Georgia teacher who spent several weeks in Switzerland last summer found, in the humblest peasant homes, girls making laces that would sell in this country at $5.00 per yard and boys engaged in wood oarving that paid a liberal compensation for their labor. In Germany the effect of industrial education in the last twenty years has been even more marked. In 1876 at the
"Vorld's Fair in Philadelphia, Germany saw that she was
beaten by every.Nation in the field of art and industry.

16
Her courageous commissioner, Prof. Reuleaux, cabled to I>rince Bismarck: "Our goods are cheap, but wretched." The twenty-six German States immediately detennined to overcome what they were losing by means of the lack of industrial education of the people. They put industrial education into their schools everywhere and the results of this educational campaign has far surpassed their most extravagant expectations. The World's :Fair in Chicago in 1893 showed that the Gennan States had taken the front rank among Industrial Nations. In the ten years between 1884 and 1894 Germany increased her exports to all the leading nations 'of the world f['om two to twenty fold. Between 1891 ,and 1894 she more than doubled hm: exports in cotton goods to England. All authorities writing upon the subject attribute the tremendous increase in Germany's productive powers to the practical industrial education that she is giving to all classes of her people. She has elementary industrial schools, secondary industrial schools and the higher institutions, like the polytechnic and art school for the preparation of industrial leaders. But the point that I am stressing in this discussion is that every child in Gennany and in Switzerland is taught at school to make something with its hands, to produce something by manual labor tha,t the world wants produced and the world is willing to pay for. Field:Marshal von J\foltke said at the battle of Sedan: "The schoolmaster has won our battles." It is just as true today to say that the schoolmaster in Germany is winning the commercial !and agricultural and manufacturing triumphsover the rest of the world, in spite of the fierce and tremendous competition that attends the conflict.
In view of the object lessons that the countries of the old world are furnishing to us as to the value of the industrial training of the children, and i~ view of the strong and undeniable testimony that comes from the experts in pedagog-

17
ical and psychological science, it seems to me that we shall be little short of criminal here in Georgia if we do not insist upon providing for our children the same kind of industrial training that is winning such triumph elsewhere among the nations of the earth. The potential man and commanding woman of the future will be the man and woman who can do things as well as say things. Poets and philosophers are well enough in their places and in their times, but problems that we as a people have to deal with, and will have to settle, cannot be settled in the terms of poetry and philosophy. . We have come to a time when the absence of a cook has a great deal more to do with a man's failure in life than the presence of a poet has to do with his success. Many a man is failing in business to-day, breaking down in health and giving up in despair, simply because there is nobody at his home that knows how to cook or to have prepared a decent and nutritious meal. I believe the time is here when every girl in the State of Georgi'a, whether rich or poor, white or black, should be compelled to learn at school how to prepare, economically, a wholesome and appetizing meal. Why even in far off Norway I find that the people are setting the balanco of the world an example of the value of scientific and hygienic investigation that is bound to have a far-reaching effect upon the life of that nation. It is stated that the physical and industrial training in that far northern country is of such ,a character \1nd has so fortified and strengthed all the children of that race of pe.ople, that if one of the children were stranded on a desert island he would be prepared for such an emergency.
Practical education begins with the youngest and extends to the oldest memberr of the family. Nothing is more noteworthy in connection with the system of eduootion in that coutry than the report as to the results of good cooking which has been introduced into the schools. A specialist
'2~sc

18
who was sent to study the Norway school system has the following to say about the cooking in the schools: "One of the sources of physical degeneration is said to be the lack of properly prepared food, and the northern races have suffered from this cause. So neglected has this branch of domestic service become that of late years classes in cooking have been estn-blished in most of the schools. Eweh girl in the elemetary grades is given a sum of money by the teacher to buy what would be required for a meal. In addition to a practical display of the instructi6n given, her accounts are renc1eredon the blackboard and thus serve for 'an arithmetic lesson for the whole school. Through experience the girls learn where the little economies come in from day to day. Girls of good families go into the schools to be instructed in domestic economy.
The practical good sense demonstrated by the parents in thus giving their daughters, no matter what their class of society, an opportunity to thoroughly train themselves in the art of cooking, is indicated. It has been said that the taste for stimulants has been greatly enhanced by the lack of nutritious food; hence this branch of teaching in elementary gmdes tends towards preparing a home table so tasteful in quality that even the need of going to a general "Damp-Kjokken" for sundry nutritious foods will be no longer felt and little by little the cause of alcoholism will be pushed farther away, until the people again stand before the world as a hardy, strong race, with no in(lications of the possib10 degeneration of physical force, which some writers indie,ate to be their normal condition.
Of course, it must be understood that the changes in our system here suggested cannot be made in a day nor in ~ year. The Swiss people have been fifty years bringing their school system to its present high grade, and the Germans have been working on th0 problem for twenty-five years. This Legis-

19
Jature should authorize the appointment by the Governor of a commission who, with the State School Oommissioner, would take up this whole subject and suggest what would be practical and proper to introduce into our schools at the present time. This commission should be clothed with authority to remodel our entire course of study and adjust the course of study to a school system that will meet the demands of our present situation. If we are ever to cure our people of dyspepsia we must train the children in the schools how to prepare meals that will prevent dyspepsia. If we are to give greater variety to our industrial life by introducing a thousand forms of manufacture which we do not now have, we must train our children how to convert our raw material into manufactured product.
Georgia farmer", can secure a steady and reliable market for everything that our farmers can produce, only by bringing manufacturing plants, with their thousands of employees) right here to the cotton field. After all, the only hope for our agricultural interests is to increase our manufacturing interest, and t.his can only be done here in Georgia, as it has been clone everywhere else, hy educating at home a class of workers, capable of stamping Georgia intelligence upon every kind of raw material that Georgia produces. The schoolm'as'ter must win this triumph for Georgia as the schoolmaster won the industrial triumph for Germany and Switzerland.
INSTITUTE CONDUCTORS.
Fnder our present law the Institutes are held for one week only and the County Bo'ard of Education is not allowed to use more than $25.00 of the school money for the employment of an Institute conductor. In many cases the counties combine at some central point and raise money by

20
subscription or otherwise and employ capable men to conduct the Institute. '\There there are no such combinations, the county is limited to the sum of $25,00 with which to employ an Institute conductor. -The best conductor cannot be employed at this price. Sometimes some of our best men go to the service of the teacher for this price, because of 'a love for the work and because of the missionary spirit that will answer the ]\.'facedonian cry: "Gome over and help us." But as a rule people who can be readily secured for $25.00 a week belong to a class who have been dubbed "expurters." They simply weary ,the teachers with tiresome dissertations on subjects already worn threadbare, and the time and attention of the teachers at the Institute are worse than wasted. The teachers derive nothing practical and helpful from compulsory attendance upon an Institute so conducted. I shall be glad for the time to come when we can select men for this Institute work who have genuine professional fitness for it. The State of New York and some of the other States have already settled this question by giving lauthority to the State Board of Education to select persons who are capable of doing Institute work properly, and providing for them sufficient salaries to command their entire time. If Georgia were subdivided into five Institute districts, and five capable men were placed in charge of these districts to do all the Institute work, we should get infinitely beUer results than we are now deriving from the time and money expended. I su~e;est that the Legislature lauthorize our State Board of Education to employ five competent men for this service, and that all the Institute work of the State be committed to these five persons so appointed. Let their salaries be paid from the present school fund, and their dutlies and the districts to which they may be assigned be fixed hy the State Board
of Education. This plan will not increase taxation. It

21
will simply render more capable and efficient the service now rendered in the schools. The Institute work is too valuable a part of the school system to be longer intrusted either to downright iglJvrance VI', what is worse, insufferable incompetence.
MONTHLY PAYMENT OF TEACHERS.
Our teachers have a right to receive their money at th.e end of each month as long as there is money in the Treasury with which to pay them. Under the present law they are paid at the end of each three months. This method of payment compels a vast majority of the teachers to discount their small claims at enormously usurious interest charges. When there is money in the Stat8 Treasury to pay the teachers the money could just as well be sent to the county at the beginning of the quarter as at the end of the quarter. The County School Commissioner is a bonded officer. The bond that he is required to give is usually for more than twice the amount that he receives at the end of anyone quarter. The money therefore would be just as safe . when placed to his credit in a St'ate depository as it would be when standing to the credit of the State Treasury. I suggest therefore that the law be changed so as to allow the money for each quarter to be sent to the County at the beginning rather than at the end of the quarter. If mistakes occur in the reports when the accounts come to be audited in the office of the State School Commissioner, they can be corrected and the proper changes made in the next report. It is not necessary under this plan to change the State's money from the State depository. The money can simply be changed from the account of the State Treasurer in the State depository to the account of the County School Commissioner and be checked out as it is ordered paid by the

22
County Board of Education. This change in the law will relieve a constant and pressing embarrassment of a great army of noble men and women who are entitled to tl'ie thoughtful and earnest ,considemtion of the General Assembly. If this Legislature should in connection with this change in the law pass another law requiring every county in the State to raise by local tax at least one-fourth as much money as the State provides for the schools, the State of Georgia would take a long step forward for the educational advancement of the children.
STATE COURSE OF STUDY.
I desire to call the attention of every member of the General Assembly to the admirable report of the Committee of the State Teachers' Association on a "Course of Study for the Common Schools of the State."
The Committee was appointed two year.s ago by the State Associ,ation and made most careful study of this subject, reporting their conclusions at the last meeting of the Association held at Indian Springs. The report was printed; and was discussed during one day's session of the convention, and was unanimously adopted by that body with the request that the General Assembly would enact the necessary legisl,ation to make the course of study effective. The report meets my hearty endorsement, and I believe it to be fraught with more good to the schools than any other recommendation since the organization of the county institutes. It is only too true that there is much loss of time, on the part of many teachers, in doing their work in a careless way, without any definite end in view. This course without prescribing the exact books that shall be used and without restricting too much the work of the County School Commissioner and of the teachers, so systematizes all of

the educational instruction in the common schools as to enable your Oommissioner to more successfully direct the work from this office in preparation of the annual Syllabus,. and in the instruction given in the Institute. It will also enable the County Oommissioners to properly grade and examine the work in the schools, and will be a guide and help to all of the teachers. You will notice that the committee has recommended the introduction of the study of elementary physiology, drawing and such manual exercises as the several schools can provide; nature study, leading up to a knowledge of the soil ann plants; and literature by correlating the school library with all of the studies of the school. This State course of study is not a mere experiment, but has been successfully tried in a number of States, with a most marvelous effect upon the efficiency of the school system. The State has not done enough when she has appropriated the money for the schools, but I believe that the State should pass legislation that will enable the people to get the best returns for the hard-earned money that goes to the schools. ""Ve must increase the efficiency of the school work, and I ask, therefore, that this State course be authorized by the law.
ITINERANT TEAOHERS.
I have recently had occasion to investigate the 'cause of so frequent changes of location on the part of our teachers. I have noticed that year after year many of the counties hav:e almost an entirely new set of teachers. As a rule from eighty to nin-ety per cent. of the teachers change their location every year. In one county iast year out of thirtyfive white teachers only five remB.ined this year. In another county, out of forty-five white teachers only seven remained this year. The colored teachers make no better

24
record. Permanence of residence on the part of the teachers seems to be confined to those counties where local support is given to the schools. The cause of such frequent changes seems to be a desire on the part of the teacher to better his financial condition. The teachers cannot be blamed for this, and yet the constant changing of teachers is working unspeakable harm to the school system. The Legislature should insist that each county in the State receiing support from the St<ate Treasury should levy local tax for at least one-fourth the amount that the State provides. This levy should be made by school districts or by counties. ~Iany of our best teachers are leaving the profession in Georgia simply because they cannot provide for themselves and their families with the amount they receive from the State. Tuition fees cannot be collected, and therefore the teachers are limited at present to the fund that the State provides. The average pay of the white teacher in Georgia last Jear was $114.50. It will be seen by comparing this amount with a table given elsewhere that the average pay of the Georgia teacher is a great deal below the average pay that teachers receive in many other States. The States in the Union are rapidly imposing a lOcal tax for the support of the schools. As a rule the State requires the local county or district to levy twice as much tax as the State provides. This secures a capable teacher who is satisfied to remain at one place and do successful and pennanent work. We cannot build a satisfactory school system in Georgia or anywhere else where the teachers are so poorly paid that they become dissatisfied and move at the end of each school terlll. It is not only expensive to the teacher to move so often, but it is very costly to the children when they are required to have a new teacher at the beginning-of every school term. The law requires us to adopt books for five years. Why should we not also "adopt" teachers for five

25
y('ar3< It is more important to have permanent teachers fixed in their place of residence than it is to have an unchanged series of books. One boy said recently that he had three teachers in the last three school terms, and each teacher had carried him as far as South America in his geography. This constant changing of teachers is attended with a fearful waste of the child's time and the people's money. The remedy is sufficient pay to secure a competent and permanently located teacher. It will require a local tax to sooure this. ,
The State has done as much as the State should be askel to do at the present time for the education of the children. The amount raised by direct tax, together with the amounts that the State contributes from other sources, now amounts to over $1,600,000. The State should not be asked to contribute any more to the public school fund. Whatever else is needed to perfect our school system should be contributed by the counties themselves in the shape of local taxation. I believe that the counties will come to appreciate more and . more the value of their schools when they begin to contribute something from the county treasury to the support of the schools. The Legislature has only to require that each county shall now begin to help in this matter, and I am sure that the counties will in a short while contribute all that is necessary to secure long term schools, as complete school facilities, {lnd to the support of as capable teachers as the people demand.
THE NEW SOHOOL OENSUS.
The law requires that the census shall be taken every five years. The last census was taken in 1893. The regular time for the taking of the census again occurred this year. The returns of the census just taken are in the main extremely gratifying. The school population has increased

26
. fifty-five thousand eight hundred and ninety-nine. The school population for 1893 was six hundred and four thousand nine hundred and seventy-one. In 1898 the school population is six hundred and sixty thousand eight hundred and seventy. The number of illiterates in 1893 was one hundred. and fourteen thousand five hu~dred and twenty-seven. In 1898 the number of illiterates is eighty-three thousand six hundred and sixteen, showing a decrease of illiteracy of thirty thousand nine hundred and eleven. This is a decrease of eighteen and nine-tenths per cent. 111 five years. The tables given below show the relative decrease between the whites and colored. The tables will show also that the school population of the negro race is increasing at a more rapid rate than among the white race. The cost of taking the census in 1898 is $22,019.86. In 1893 it was $21,191.93. It will be observed that although we had an increase of fifty-five thousand children, yet the cost was but little more than in 1893. This shows that our County Boards were extremely careful and have kept the expense of the census within reasonable bounds. I invite the careful attention of the Legislature to the tables given below. The full census returns for each county are published else,vhere in this volume.
SCHOOL-BOOK REPORTS.
Elsewhere will be found school-book reports from sixtythree counties of the State. The teachers and commissioners labored under many disadvantages in the preparation of this first report, and in many counties where the schools had been discontinued before July 1st, and numbers of teachers had gone away, it was found impossible to make this report for this year. In other counties, there was an apparent misapprehension as to the contents of the report.

27
There is no reason why a report should not be made from each county for another year, now that the system of collecting the necessary data has been established.
The statistics from the sixty-three counties, however, contain interesting and valuable information in the matter of showing average costs of books, since this average in all probability would prove to be correct for the entire State.
Tho reports show that the average cost per school-book, regardless of the kind, for books purchased prior to July 1st, 1897, was 41 cents; and that the average cost per copy of books purchased during the year from .July 1st, 1897, to July 1st, 1898, was 36 cents.
The total numbe,r of" books, of 'all kinds, reported was 396,945, and the total cost of these books was $155,318.42
The reports from three counties gave the total number and total cost only; in the other sixty counties 229,180 books were purchased prior to July 1st, 1897, at a total cost of $94,510.16, and 152,577 books were purchased between July 1st, 1897, and July 1st, 1898, at a total cost of *54,981.16.
From these figures it seems apparent that the value ot the school-books in use in the common schools of the State does not exceed $400,000, and that the cost of school-books for common schools for one year did not exceed $125,000.

SU:\IMARY OF MATTERS RECOMMENDED FOR THE CONSIDERATION OF THE LEGISLATURE.
1. The course of study in the public schools of the State needs broadening. Industrial features should be added to our public school course.
2. The teachers should be paid monthly instead of quarterly.
3. Additional legislation is needed in regard to the conduct of industries. Provision should be made for seeuring for this work the very best talent in the State.
4. Compulsory grading of country schools on some such s"heme as that proposed by the State Teachers' Association.
5. Some legislation requiring longer' contracts with teachers. vVe 'adopt books for five years; why not adopt teachers for five years?
6. The appointment of a commission whose duty it shall be to ascertain what industrial course of study can be added to the schools of the State, commission to be appointed by the Governor.

THE UNIVERSITY OF GEORGIA.
HISTORICAL.
The University of Georgia was chartered by the General Assembly of the State, January 27, 1785. The charter is entitled "An act for the more full and complete establishment of a public seat of learning in this State," and its preamble, in the language of a distinguishe'd president of the institution, "would do honor to any Legislature, and will stand a monument to the wisdom and patriotism of those who framed and of those who adopted it."
The independence of Georgia, as a State, had just been acknowledged, and, says the preamble, "it should be among the first objects of those who wish well to the national prosperity to encourage and support the principles of religion and morality, and early to place the youth under the forming hand of society; that, by instruction, they may be moulded to the love of virtue and good order."
Founded with the purpose thus indicated, the University was possessed 'Only of "an unproductive and, for the most part, uninhabited tract of land," and it was not until July 6, 1801, that George Walton, Abraham Baldwin, John Milledge, and Hugh La~son, acting as a committee of the Senatus Academicus, ~elected the historic site on which the institution now stands, and during thi),t year the University was opened.
The general scheme of organization and the course of study, modeled after the English colleges of that time, provided for the single collegiate decree of "Bachelor of Arts," and literature, ancl would the so-called disciplinary studies.

35
constituted the entire curriculum. Science as noW recognized had no existenee.
For more than haH a century the history of the University is the history of Georgia. The prosperity of the one was the growth of the other, and many of those who afterwards illustrated the State in peace and in war received their training here dl1l'ing this period and under this organization.
But no college thus designed could keep pace with the growth and diffusion of knowledge. T,he expanding intelligence of the nineteenth century demanded wider areas of culture and knowledge. Science added new fields to human thought. With new knowledge came a new civilization, which required a new education, and hence came the impelling force which planted scientific schools throughout the world.
In July, 1862, the Congress of the United States granted to each of ihe States a munificent donation of public lands for the purpose of establishing a college in which science and its application to agriculture and the mechanic arts should be taught. The funds arising from the State of Georgia's quota of the land-scrip were transferred bj' the State to the Trustees of the University of Georgia, May 1, 1872, and the trustees at once established and opened the "Georgia State College of Agriculture and the Mechanic Arts." In accordance with the act of Congress, the "leading object" in this college is, "without excluding other scientific and legal studies, and including military tactics, to teach such branches of learning as are related to agriculture and the mechanic arts."
The establishment of this college as an integral part of the University, and the addition of the Law School, the :Medical College, and the School of Technology, have given completeness to the system by incorporating that scientific

36
and technical education which was needed to supplement the liberal training already provided; and the University is now, as far as the Trustees have been able to carry out their plans, "a place where students can be trained for any and every respectable path of life, and where, at the same time, the interests of higher education and science are cared for."
Thus the "foundation of the fathers," a simple college, with a close curriculum, has grown to be a complex University, planned upon a broad and philosophic system} where literature and science are taught in numerous schools, comprising Franklin Oollege, the State Oollege of Agriculture and the Mechanic Arts, ,the law School, the Medical College, the School of Technology, the Georgia Normal and Industrial Oollege, the Georgia State Normal School, and four branches for elementary and preparatory training.
GOVERNMENT.
The government of the University, by act of the Geni\lral Assembly, approved August 23, 1889, is vested in a Board of Trustees, appointed by the Governor and confirmed by the Senate. The Board consists of one member from each Oongressional district of the State, four from the State at larg~ and two from the city of Athens. The Governor and the Ohairman of the Board of Directors of the Technological School, the Georgia Normal and Industrial Oollege, and the Oolored Industrial Oollege, are ex officio members of the Board.
The Trustees meet in stated annual session on the Thursday preceding the Oommencement Sunday, and at other times at their pleasure.

NORTH GEORGIA AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE.
Dahl~nega, Ga., August 24, 1898. Hon. G. R. Glenn, State S. 0., Atlanta,. Ga.
Dear Sir:-In response to your request, I have the honor to present the following report of the North Georgia Ag ricultural Oollege for the session ] 897-8. There were in attendance at the institution during this session 170 students in the college classes, besides a large number of music, elocution and art students. Of these regular students, 12F were males and 42 females. Forty-two counties were rep- . resented. There is no elementary department to the institution, our work being confined to the college classes. The college takes the boys and the young men from the grammar schools, and by offering cheap and free tuition enables hundreds to obtain an education of which they would otherwise be deprived the opportunity. It is pre-eminently the institution for students of limited means, and has been all untold blessing to the section in which it is located and to hundreds of poor boys in other parts of the State. I call your attention to the plans for boarding mentioned in other parts of this report, and to the courses of study offered.
The State through this institution has given a year's education to 170 of her children at a cost of $36 apiece. By increasing the State appropriation to $8,000 so that we could add two more professors, we could give instruction to seventy-five or one hundred more students at a still lower average cost. Below I give some general information regarding the college.

47

THE OOLLEGIATE YEAR.
The collegiate year comprises two terms, the first commencing on the second Wednesday in September and continuing until the Monday nearest the first of February, when the second commences, which continues through Commencement.
There is no interruption of either term except for an intermiEsion at Christmas, beginning on the 23d and resuming on the 3d of January, and such days as are appointed for legal holidays by the State or United States.

ORIGIN AND PURPOSES OF THE COLLEGE.
This Oollege owes its origin to the Act of Oongress of July 2, 1862, entitled "An Act donating public lands to the several States and Territories which may provide colleges for the benefit of agriculture and the mechanic arts." The Act contemplates the "endowment, support and maintenance of at least one college, where the leading object shall be, without excluding other scientific and classical studies, and including military tactics, to teach such branches of learning as are related to agriculture and the mechanic arts in such manner as the Legislature of 'the States may respectively prescribe, in order to promote the liberal and practical education of the industrial classes."
The donation was made upon certain conditions, the chief of which is that the annual interest arising from the fund derived from the sale of the lands shall be applied to the purpose mentioned above; that if any portion of the principal or interest shall be rost by any contingency whatever, it shall be replaced by the State; that no part of the principal or interest shall be applied to the purchase, erection, preservation or repair of any building, it being the duty of the State, upon accepting the donation, to provide the necessary buildings; that if the State should fail to provide, within the time specified, at least one college for thr purpose of the Act, the grant shall cease and the State should be bound to repay the fund to the Unrted States' that the State should express its acceptance of the donation, with the conditions, through its Legislature. By Act of March 10, 1866, the General Assembly of Georgia accepted the donation "upon the terms and conditions prescribed" in the Act of Oongress.
The fund having been received, the interest of it was placed under the control of the Trustees of the University

j



49

for the purpose of the Act. The North Georgia Agricul-

tural College, having been incorporated in 1871, received

from the United States government, in pursuance of an

Act of Congress passed in that year, a donation of a build-

ing at Dahlonega, theretofore known as the United States

Branch mint, with ten acres of land connected therewith.

A contract was then made with the Trustees of the Uni-

versity by which the North Georgia Agricultural College

booame a department of the University, the title of the

above property being conveyed to the Trustees of the Uni-

. versity on the conditions specified in the donation, the Trus-

tees of the University appointing the President of the Col-

lege, making a Icertain allowance for its support, to wit:

$2,000 annually, and exercising over it a general super-

VIsIOn.

...

It will thus be apparent that the office of the College is

to effect the purposes expressed in the Act of Congress of

1862, and the State's acceptance of that Act in conformity

with the system of the University itself; and the courses of

study and exercises are arranged with that view.

The General Assembly of Georgia appropriated $6,000

per annum to the College for the years 1897 and 1898,

which ~hall be used only for its support, maintenance amI

repairs. It is to be hoped that this appropriation will be in-.

creased, since the College has become one of the leading

educational institutions of the State, and occupies such a

broad field of usefulness with its growing popularity and

consequently increased attendance.

Under legislative authority a joint committee from Sen-

ant and House of Representatives is annually appointed to

vi~it the Institution during the Commencement exercises-

said committee making report of the working of the insti-

tution to the General Assembly.

The following was the committee for 1898:

Senators O. N. Starr and Philip Cook, and Representa-

tives J. S. Boynton of Spalding; D. G. Fogarty of Richmond, and S. E. Berry of Whitfield.

LOCATION.

Dahlonega, the home of the North Georgia Agricultural

Oollege,' is a town of one thousand inhabitants, of fine moral

tone and culture, and is the county site of Lumpkin county,

and away from the allurements of a great city. The alti-

tude of the town is 2,240 feet above the level of the sea.

It nestles under the lofty peaks of the far-famed Blue

Ridge. Pure freestone water and refreshing and invigorat-

ing mountain air have long rendered this place celebrated

as a health resort.

The nearest railway point is Gainesville, on the Southern

Railway, twenty-three miles distant, with which plac~ there

is daily communication by means. of mail hacks. Fare is

from one to two dollars. A telephone line connecting with

Gainesville and the long distance system is in course of con-

struction.

Special arrangements are usually made at the opening

of the session, good for ten days from September 12th, at

reduced rates. On arrival at Gainesville, students will finel

it to their interest to inquire for special Oollege hacks.

Students should arrange to reach Gainesville in time to take

the hacks that leave at 11 o'clock daily, except Sunday.



The Oollege is non-sectarian, but decidedly Ohristian in

tone and character. The town possesses ample church fa-

cilities, and students are required to attend some church

~t least once every Sunday, unless excused. The sale or

spirituous liquors is forbidden by law in Lumpkin county,

wherein the Oollege is situated, and in additon to this, aU

the surrounding- counties are dry, and the law is vigorously

enforced. The officers of the Oollege pride themselves

upon the fact that the Oollege is so well protected and free

51
from anything that would have a demoralizing influence upon the student.
The students are required to attend chapel exercises every morning. The object of all our regular colleges is to build up strong, manly, godly characters, by appealing to the highest ideals or standards and forming right habits of thought and a.ction. A State college does not teach sectarianism, but uses the religion the student has to enforce .character, leaving to the several churches instruction in de nominationalbelief. We believe in having Ohristian men and women as professors, who by their lives and personal influence will be of benefit to the students in developinr .character. We believe lin shaping the discipline of the college so that manhood will be developed and our studente 'will leave us with sound minds, capable of clear thinking .and self-government; we believe in the churches where the institution is located exerting their full influence in relig ious instruct'ion. This, in fact, is what is done in every institution of high grade. The class-room work is practi-cally the same, being devoted to instruction in the subjects pre.s.cribed.We do not suffer the instruction to become .sectarian, but we are a religious people and whoever wishes to live with us will have to put up with that fact.
vVe confidently believe that parents can find here thai .discipline, those healthful climatic conditions, that froo-dom from the excitement of city life and those surroundings of town and church and student body as will conduce to the eradication of bad habits and the growth of manliness :and scholarly attwinments. We refer you to our rules governing the student body. These are enforced. Students .are required to remain in their rooms after dark and the military officer inspects all the rooms during the evening.

APPOI~T;\lENT~.
Each senator and representative of the General Assembly and each county school commissioner is authorized ana requested to appoint one student to this institution from his senatorial district or county only, as the case may be, during his term as such senator, representative or commissioner, who shall be received without the entrance fee-these appointments to hold good for the scholastJic term fOl~ which they are made, but may be renewed from term too term. Blank appointments can be obtained from the President, Dahlonega, Ga. Students will provide t.hemselves with these before coming, else they must pay the usual fee, for no one will be received in College classes without theTreasurer's ticket,
Newspapers running the College advertisement are alsogranted an appointment.
THE CH'\'l{LES :\TcDON.-\LD BROWN FUND.
From the Charles McDonald Brown Scholarship Fund' the institution gets $1,000 annually. This is to aid worthy - young men who aJ'e unable to pay their way through col-lege. The applicant must be at least eighteen years of age~. in g00d health, and reside in one of the following oounties: Rabun, Habersham, Towns, Union, Fannin, Dawson, Murray, White, Lumpkin, Gilmer, Pickens, Cherokee, and'. :Forsyth in Georgia, and Oconee, Anderson and Pickens in' South Carolina. On entering school he gives his promiseon hohor in writing that he will pay back the money hereceives with 4 per cent. interest as soon after he completes: hi-; course as he is able. Applications for appointments to the Brown Fund must be_ made in writing to the President of the college, accompanied by a certificate from his parent or guardian, certifying to his age 'and his inabitily t~ provide the applicant with the means to pursue his college-

course; and that the amount thus to be received (viz., $6.25 each month) for the collegiate year, will enable the applicant to continue in college dter once entering without interruption till the end of the collegiate year for which the :appointment is made.
The Faculty will consider the applications and make nominations to the Prudental Committee of the Board.
A.pplication blanks will be furnished by the PresiQ.ent, to be filled out by those desiring appointment.
Every county in the thirteen in Georgia and the three in South Carolina which receives the benefit of said fund at this college shall be given full opportunity and notice by advertisement or otherwise to furnish one student each as a benefIciary of said fund before any of said counties shall be allowed more than one such beneficiary.
If, after such notice, any of said counties shall fail to furnish a beneficiary of said fund, then the Faculty shall elect from said territory at large a suitable person to fill the vacancy.

GEORGIA SCHOOL OF TECHNOLOGY.
Atlanta, Ga., Aug. 16th, '1898. Hon. G. R. Glenn, Atlanta, Ga.
.My Dear Sir:-In compliance with your request to furnish a statement of the condition of the Georgia School of Technology, its past, present and future, I take pleasuse in submitting the following:
Prior to 1897, the school offered but one degree, Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering. The Department of ]\,tIechanical Engineering was and is most efficient, receiving great advantage from the course of shop work in our well-equiped Manual Training Department. The requirements for the Apprentice Olass were formerly much lower than at present, so that the pure Mathematics was not completed till the middle of the senior year.
There were nv dormitories, and non-resident students were compelled to board in private families in the city. In many respects this plan was very objectionwble for boys who were sojourning in a Large city for the first tim.e.
The attendance averaged about 130 for the years 1888 to 1895, the rolls showing considerable diminution during the years '93 and '95.
During 1896 and 1897 the school was better advertised, the additional degrees of B. S. in Electrical and Oivil Engineering were offered, the Electrical Engineering Department receiving an equipment of $5,000; dormitories were built at a cost of $15,000, which, with other small dormitories built earlier in the year, gave accommodations to about 105 students.
The result of all this was most satisfactory. The attend-

55
ance has increased steadily and reached last year, 18971898, the unprecedented n.umber, 267.
For the accommodation of this large number of students every ooonomy has been practiced, as we have received no . additional amount for maintenance since the student corps was half what it is now. Our present needs demand that the State's appropriation be increased $5,000 per year.
In December, 1897, the Legislature gave the school $10,000, provided its friends should raise $10,000 additional in money or equipment. We have succeeded at this date in securing dona'tions in cash ,and machinery amounting to nearly $23,000, which, with the State's $10,000, will give the Department of Textiles an initial equipment of $33,000.
The maintenance of the department will require about $10,000 per annum. The details of the matter will be presented to the Legislature in due time.
The work done in the shops is of very high grade. We have made engines of different sizes and designs, school desks for our own use, much electrical equipment, and some machinery for sale. All work is designed at the school, and drawings for the same are made by the students. Student's work is necessarily slow in execution and we do not think the work turned out by our shops will ever reach any considerable sum per year. The school is growing, and more than the half work done by the students has been, and will continue to be, in the nature of equipment for our needs.
The outlook for the next year is very promising, and I believe the enrollment will be in excess of that in any previous year.
Very respectfully, LYMAN HALL, President.

GEORGIA ACADEMY FOR THE BLIND.
Macon, Ga., Aug. 15th, 1898. Hon. G. R. Glenn, State School Commissioner, Atlanta, Ga.
Dear Sir:-In response to your letter of recent date, I beg leave to say that I have no material for your report, since our "year" does not end until October 1, at which time our statements and statistics go into a special report made by our' Board of Trustees to the Governor. However, I should count it an especial favor to our Institution if you will insert in your report the fo1l9wing matter.
Your kind offer of space gives me an additional and valuable moons of reaching the public and of thus advertising the school. As a slight amount" of consideration will show you, one of the chief difficulties encountered in a work such as ours in this Academy lies in finding pupils; consequently, it is my constant endeavor to permeate the State, as far as pOsf.3ible, with a knowledge of the existence of our work, so that the institution may be within the easy reach of all . who should desire the benefits given through it by our State to that unfortunate class, the blind young people of Georgia.
Thanking you for this privilege offered in your not, and appreciating the notable adv;ance you are causing to be made in the educational department of the State's enterprises, I am,
Yours truly, W. D. WILLIAMS, Principal.

These departments, although connected under the same management and superintendence, and conducted on the same system of instruction and government, are located on seperate lots. distant from each other, and have no internal connection other than that named.
Third. The course of instruction and training embraces, 1. The Schools, in which the blind children and youths are infltructed in all the branches of English taught in the common schools of the country. 2. Department of Music, in which Vocal 'and Instrumental Music is taught in connection with the following instruments: Piano, Organ, Guitar, Violin, Flute, Mandolin, etc. 3. The Department of Handicrafts, in which the blind are troined tv industrial work, and taught trades by which they can earn a livelihood for themselves.
QUALIFICATION FOR ADMISSION.
4. The Academy receives into its School Department such youths, male or female, as are hopelessly blind, or in~ <lurably blind to that degree which prevents education in

58

the ordinary method, between the ages of eight and twenty-

SEVENTH ANNUAL REPORT OF THE GEORGIA NORMAL AND INDUSTRIAL COLLEGE.
Milledgeville, Ga., August, 1898. Hon. G. R. Glenn, State School Oommissioner, Atlanta, Ga.
Dear Sir:-I have the honor to .present the following Seventh Annual Report of the Georgia Normal and Industrial Oollege, showing the work of the institution for the session 1897-98.
ATTENDANCE.
During the Session we had in attendance three hundred and eighty (380) regular matriculate students coming from one hundred and two counties in Georgia. Three hundred and sixty-five of the number were boarding pupils, most of them boarding in the Oollege Dormitories, but quite a large number were compelled to board in private families for want of room in the Dormitories. A great many applicants for admission were turned away from the Oollege entirely on account of the inadequacy of the buildings to accommodate them.
Besides the 388 Oollege students there were 62 children from six to fourteen years of age in our Model School, making a total attendance of 450 pupils, the largest attendance in the history of the Institution thus far.
CLASSIFICATION.
The students were divided among the several courses of studies pursued in the school as follows:

62

Collegiate-Normal Course .............. ~ .98

Collegiate-Industrial Oourse ............. 146

Special Industrial CouTSe

NORMAL DEPARTMENT.
During the past session we put into operation in our Normal Department some of the changes of which I spoke in my last Annual Report to you. .As the Department is now organized the full Normal Oourse occupies four years, including Freshman, Sophomore, Junior and Senior Olasses. The first two years (Freshman and Sophomore) are devoted to giving the students scholarship in high school branches accompanied by incidental instruction in methods of teaching. In the last two years a som6What limited, but very carefully selected course is given in the most importitnt collegiate branches, leaving much time to be devoted to the professional Normal studies, including Psychology and Pedagogy in the Junior Olass and school management and practice teaching in the Model School ~n.the Senior Clas;!. Normal students are also required to take a two years' course in :Free-hand Drawing-and one year's course in Sightsinging. Students who have accomplished thoroughly this full Normal Course of study are entitled to a Normal Diploma.
Besides the full Normal Course above described, we have introduced a special Normal Course to answer the particular needs of those young women (mainly country schoolteachers) who can spend with us only one years, or possibly two years, and who wish to devote that time especially to fitting themselves for work in the common schools of the

63
State. The course of study that we give this class includes thorough instrucmon in the common school branches and in . the more practical Normal branches, special stress being laid upon School Management and Practice Teaching in our Model School. This course of study does not entitle the student to a diploma.
The practice teaching branch of our Normal Department is better organized now than it has been heretofore. It did very efficient work last session and will do still better next session. Our practice teaching department is made up of our Peabody Model School and our Preparatory Classes, including in all over one hundred pupils from six to fifteen years of age, divided into eight grades, corresponding with the first eight grades in the best city public school system. Our Normal students do pmctice teaching with all of these grades under the careful supervision and direction of skilled training teachers..
The expense of maintaining this practice teaching department and the ~iIodel School connected with it, is paid almost entirely from the liberal annual appropriation given to our college by the Peabody Education Fund. 'Without this generous aid we could have no :Model School and no practice teaching. It is impossible to speak too highly of the value of this adjunct to our Normal Department. We believe there can be no real or efficient Normal education without it.
INDUSTRIAL DEPARTMENT.
The industrial arts taug-ht in our Institution are Stenography and Typewriting, Bookkeeping, Dressmaking, Cooking. and Eree-hand Drawing.
The number of pupils pursuing each of these branches last session was as follows ~

64

Stenography and Typewriting

33

Bookkee~ng

30

Dressmaking

102

Cooking

49

Free-hand Drawing

326

Nearly every student in the college above the Sub-Freshman Class, except those pursuing the full Normal Course, took one or more of the first four of the above mentioned industrials. Perhaps Free-hand Drawing should not be classed as an industrial art, since a great many students tak", it merely for its general educational or culture value.
Everyone of these industrial arts is taught in our school with the utmost thoroughness, no slipshod work. being allowed to pass. A certificate of proficiency is awarded in each department to students completing the required course. The requirements are rigid and exacting, and the certificate is an absolute guarantee of a high degree of proficiency.
I would make special mention of the great improvement made last session in our School of Dressmaking. Its organization is now wen-nigh perfect, and it is doing splendid work. It employs three skilled teachers and had an attendance last session of 102 pupils. A majority of these of course took it only for horne or domestic purposes, still a large number of young women pursue the study as a speoialty with a view of fitting themselves to become artistic professional dressmakers. In no industrial school in America, I believe, is this woman's special art better taught than in our college.

COST OF ATTENDANCE.
Every student pays on the day of her admission to the college an incidental fee of $1(1'.00. Tuition is entirely free to all Georgia girls, except in music and fine art, for

65

which a moderate charge is made. The Dormitories are managed dn the co-operative plan, the boarders paying only the actual cost of carrying on the establishment. The cost last session averaged only $9.38 a month, or $84.41 for the entire nine months, including board, fuel, lights and laundry. For this small amount the girls lived as well in every particular as students usually do in fashionable female colleges where the charge for board is $18.00 of $20.00 a month.
The entire cost of a year's attendance, including matriculation fee, board, books and stationery, is about. $110.00 -that is a very liberal estimate. The actual cost usually falls somewhat below that amounL
On account of want of room in the College Dormitories many of our students are compelled to board out in private families. The cost of bO'ard at these places is about $4.00 a month more than at the Dormitories, an additional expense that bears heavily upon many of our poorer students.

GRADUATES AKD PROFICIENTS.

At our last commencement, June 1st, 1898, the follow-

ing number of Diplomas and Certificates of Proficiency

were issued:

Normal Graduates

14

Oollegiate Graduates. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .. 9

Proficiency in Stenography. . . . . . . . . . . . . .. 6

Proficiency in Bookkeeping. . . . . . . . . . . . . .. 3

N early all of the N orillal Graduates and several of the

Collegiate Graduates have already obtained good positions

as teachers, and several of the proficients in the industrial

arts named have found paying employment.

OUTLOOK FOR NEXT SESSIOK.

Our next session begins on Wednesday, Sept. 14th, just
one month hence. We shall open as usual with as many
5ssc

66
:students as w~ can possibly accommodate. Three hundred -and fifty certificates of admission have already been issued, -and applications for admission are still coming in every day. 'The utmost number of students that can be Hccommodated at one time is three hundred and sixty (360), not including the children in the Model School. Many applicants will ,doubtless have to be turned away for want of room before the session opens.
Several very important improvements will be made in the organization of our work, especially in regard to our schedules of studies, at the beginning of the next session, ;and I sincerely believe the school will do a finer year's work ,than it has ever yet done.
GRATIFYING STATISTICS.
If a tree is to be judged by its fruit, surely the Georgia Normal and Industrial Oollege is a great success.
Although the Institution has been in operation only seven :years, fully five hundred of its students (graduates and undergraduates) have become teachers in Georgia schools. There is probably not a county in the State that has not had ,gtudents from this college among its teachers, and undoubtedly r111 of them have been able to do bette,r ,,'ork as teachers 'On 'account of their attendance on this Institution, though in a great many instances their course here was very brief.
Scores of young women have also found lucrative employment in the various industrial arts, Stenography, Bookkeeping, etc., that they learned here.
Hundreds of poor Georgia girls, especially from the rural districts, who but for this benencient State institution, would have spent their lives in ignorance and inefficiency, have obtained here an education that will be a priceless blessing not only to themselves, but to posterity for gell.erations to come.

67
The people of Georgia may rest assured that the Girls' Normal and Industrial Oollege is doing faithfully and well the special educational work for which it was established by the commonwealth.
Yours truly, .J. HARRIS OHAPPELL,
.President Georgia Normal and Industrial Oollege.

The Georgia School for the Deaf is a State Institution and is located at Cave Spring, Floyd county, Georgia, and began its work in the year 18-16. As its name implies, it is strictly a school for the education of deaf persons, and in no sense an asylum; neither is it a charitable institution, any more than the colleges at Athens and at Dahlonega, the School of Technology or the Girls' Industrial School are eharitable institutions. It is a public school, pure and simple, and was established for the benefit of such persons as are too deaf to be instructed by the methods used in the other public schools of the State, whether they are poss86sed of speech left them after losing their hearing or not. The requisite for admission is that a person must be too deaf to be educated in the common schools, and in a condition mentally and physically to receive instruction profitably, and between the ages of seven and twenty-five. Such persons are entitled to the benefits of the school, free of charge absolutely, no fees of 'any kind being required.
The length of time that a pupil remains in school depends upon the pupil, the Board of Trustees having power to grant as many as twelve school terms or years. In cases of inability on the part of parents or guardian to clothe the pupil, the Board of Trustees have the power to furnish clothing at the expense of the State, when such parents present acertificate from the Ordinary that they are unable to pay; and in case of extreme poverty, which fact must be made evident by a certificate from the Ordinary of the county from which the pupil comes, the Board of Trustees will pay the railroad fare each way.

69
The school is comprised of two departments, one for white and the other for colored deaf. These departments ilre situated about three hundred yards from each other, and, while under the same superintendence, are separate in all other respects.
In the Mechanical Department, the boys are taught woodworking in various lines, blacksmithing, painting, printing and shoemaking. The girls are taught plain sewing, and it is hoped that at no distant day the Legislature will furnish the means for equipping a depa,rtment in which they can be taught a variety of industries suitable for women.
The effort in this school is to give each child a practical common school education, and in addition, some line of industry that will enable him to make a living. The method {)f instruction is that known in the profession as the Oombined or Eclectic Method. All pupils upon their first admission are given a trial in the oral department, and such as show an adaptability for instruction by this method are retained in this department, and the others plr.ced in what is known as the Sign J\fanual Department.
During the school term of 1897 and '98 one hundred and eleven pupils were enrolled in the white department, and forty in the negro department.
The Principal urgently requests that the various school superintendents and teachers throughout the State disseminate information in regard to the school, and promptly report to him names and addresses of any children that may be found who are not already in school.
W. O. OONNOR, Principal Georgi1a School for Deaf.

REPORT OF THE STATE NORMAL SCHOOL
1898.

Hon. G. R. Glenn, S. S. C., Chairman of the Commission

of the State N onnal School, Atlanta, Ga.

Dear Sir:-According to your directions, I have the



honor to make the following report to you of the condition

and wants of the State Normal School, with the salary list,

financial statement of receipts and expenditures, and a roll

of the students for the year 1898.

CONDITION.

To say that the condition of the school is encouraging is but a feeble way of expressing the remarkable growth of the institution from the date of its permanent organization --April 17, 1895, to the present time. It is only necessary to g,ive the enrollment for each year to prove thie.

Enrollment in 1898

.

In explanation of the enrollment for the present it should be understood that our scholastic year is coincident with the calendar year, and as students can enter as late as October 1st, the full enrollment of 1898 can not he given accurately. It is safe to say that it will reach 625. :Many have been turned away for want of room; and it is no exaggeration to state that the attendance this year would have run up to 1,000, had there been the needed accommodations.

71
The entire sum appropriated by the General Assembly for building and improvements is only $7,000. It is true,. however, that the Commission has been au60rized by law to expend such part of the annual appropriations-$10,000 for each of the years 1895 and 1896, and $22,500 for each of the years 1897 and 1898-as they might see proper in the erection of the buildings and making such improvements as are absolutely needed. This has been done w'isely and economically by the commission. About one-third of the income has been devoted in this ~way.
Expenses have been reduced to an average of $7.00 for those living in the dormitory. Table board, lodging, laundry, fuel, water, lights and all living expenses are covered by $70.00 for the scholastic year of ten months. There are no fees of any kind; and tuition is therefore absolutely free. It is needless to say that this plan of placing the advantages of teacher-training within reach of the common school teachers of the State has borne good fruit.
The wants of the Normal School can be stated in a few words-more buildings, more room, more improvements; and among these improvements proper sewer connections are of prime importance.
It is a pleasure to state that the interest and zeal of the student-hody remains unabated. The young ladies and young men submit cheeTfully to being crowded. The commission, influenced by fears of sickness, has directed the president to limit the number to be accommodated in the dormitory, and the restriction has been duly observed. The health of the students has been remarkably good.
The outlook is all that the friends of the common school system and of teacher-training could desire.

GEORGIA STATE INDUSTRIAL COLLEGE.
The Georgia State Industrial College is a State institution, the only one of its kind in Georgia for colored youths. It is endowed by the general government and supported by the Stlate. The ground contains about eighty-six acres, consisting of thirty-five acres in the campus and fifty-one acres in the College farm. The campus, shaded by tall live-oaks, festooned by pretty pendant moss, is for natural scenery the most attractive in the State. The location is perfectly healthful.
The College farm is separnted from the campus only by the railroad by which passengers are conveyed from the city t,o the gl'Ounds. There are at present the following buildings on the grounds: Dormitory, two school buildings, chapel, farmhouse, blacksmith shop, wheelwright, and carpenter shops, and four cottages for the professors.
The courses at present established are the Industrial, Sub-Normal and Collegiate.
For admiseion into the college, the applicant should not be less than fourteen years of age, and of good moral character. He should be qua1ified to pass satisfactorily an entrance examination, showing his ability to correctl/ read and write the English language and to prepare an original composition, and in mathematics be sufficiently advanced to begin the study of algebra and geometry. Provision has been made by the commission for the admission of students of a preparatory grade into the SubNormal or Preparatory course.
Students sllOnlc1 make it a point tr) he present on the

93
opening day of the College. For special reasons students' may be admitted at any time of the school year.

"COMMON SCHOOL CURRICULUM,'
Professors J. S. Stewart, L. B. Evans, O. Ashmore, W.
R. Power and VV. O. ,Vright, appointed two years ago as a
committee to prepare a course of study for the common schools of Georgia, submitted their report to the convention of teachers at Indian Springs. The report ,vas as follows:
To the Georgia Teachers' Association : Your committee appointed at the convention held at Cumberland in 1896 to prepare a course of study for the common schools oJ the State has the honor to submit the following report:
The committee has made a careful study of the system in other States of the Union and of the reports of the N ational Association. An investigation has been made into the conditions confronting the schools in south, middle and north Georgia. It has been the effort of the committee to devise from the best results in other states and the best that has been written, a course of study so arranged that it will meet the needs of all the Georgia schools; so elastic that it will not destroy the originality of the teacher, or hamper the progress of the pupil; so definite that it will insure the harmonious development of the pupil and act as general guide to the teacher, whether in a village graded school ,vith several teachers, or in the mountain cabin with one teacher; a course so suggestive that it will appeal to the best work of any teacher, and gradually raise the standard of work in all the schools, and yet so simple that the most unskilled of our teachers will find it valuable and practical; aconrse that will leave the teacher free in the selection of
7 s se

98
texts and methods, and yet will lead to stability and uniformity in the work of the state schools by securing progressive continuity of work under successive teachers, whether in the same school or in different localities; a course that will make plain to pupil, parent and teacher what is a full round of studies for mental balance and culture, and will appeal to all pupils to complete the course and thus raise the standard of common school education.
The committee does not believe that a graded course similar to that in city schools, which prescribe a definite amount of work to be covered in a year, designating books and pages and manner of teaching, is at all appropriate or practicable in the state course. As the committee of twelve well Bays: "A course of study should not be a Procrustean bEd on which to stretch the work of the school in order to give uniformity," hut it should rather be "the measuring rod or scale which is used to determine at what point in the eight years' work in the elementary course a pupil has arrived." Such an iron-clad course may be made to work in thickly settled communities and under skilled supervision, but we doubt it. The whole trend of grading to-day i" away from Procrustean courses of study, annual promotion on the block system, and towards freedom of movement according to the capacity of the student. The block system of f01'cing all pupils into the sauw grade for a year, yoking together for the 0ntirc course of eight years the hare and the tortoise, is doomed even in the cities, and it WOllld evidently be a step backward to impose such III system upon the schools of the State. It has always reminded us of the times of the inquisition. Every course of study should be so arranged that pupils may be promoted and graduated as rapidly as thA ability and time of the pupil will admit.

99

"COMMON SCHOOL CURRICULUM."

,Ve have endeavored to determine what should be in-

duded in a common school curriculum and have then at-

tempted to divide this into four periods of work, designat-

ing what should be accomplished in each period in order

to be promoted to the next period. We have decided to

call each of these periods a form, to distinguish from class

or gl'ade. In some of the states the work is divided into

three periods; but for added clearness and for ease in adapt-

ing to one or more teachers or to town systems with the

eight grades, thus meeting the needs of ,all the schools under

-one commissioner, we have followed the four-period plan

cas suggested by the committee of twelve.

In arranging this course we have laid claim to all that

was best in any system, in'order that Georgia might have

the advantage of it. We refer especiJally to the systems of

,\Tisconsin, West Virginia and to the reports of the com-

mittees of twelve and fifteen.

It is expected that county school commissioners will take

the course adopted, explain it fully to the teachers, insert

-such books as are used and distribute copies of the course

to every pupil, so that pupil and parent may be informed

as to the required work of a modern school, and may thus

be broaderred and may more easily direct and appreciate

good work on the part of the school.



1Ve have endeavored to correlate the course of study,

as far as possible, to the state syllabus for 1898. With the

adoption of a state course the work of the syllabus can be

more definite in some directions and thus more in harmony

with the four forms. Reference to the syllabus will be

necessary to a proper use of the course. 1Vhen the state

'Course is adopted the next syllabus should be devoted to

;a full explanation of the work in the forms and the require-

100
ments for promO'tion to the next form. To illustrate from the Wisconsin system:
"Tests for promotion in reading to second period. The pupil should be able:
"1. To read orally with a fair degree of readiness and accuracy any lesson in the Second Reader or book of similar grade.
"2. To answer questions upon the substance of the 1(';;- sons read to show that they are understood.
"3. To recite from memory choice selections equiYalent to four pages of the Reader.
"4. To spell by letter and by sound and to distinguish silent letters.
"5. To modulate the voice, to accent any syllable of a word, or to emphasize any word in a sentence."
,Vith this guide in each study and form county commissioners, teachers and school officers can, in time, systematize the work throughout the state with an incalulable gain in thoroughness and efficiency, and yet with a gTeater demand upon the originality and skill of the teachers and officers. The general plan of work thus comes from the state central office under the direction of the state school commissioner.
,Yhat is true of the state commissioner in regard to better supervision by means of a state course is also true of the 'county commissioner and teacher. ,Vhy should our schools be reorganized with every term and new -teacher? Each teacher working uuder the state course would leavehis school organized, classified, with full record of each pupil, so that the incoming teacher could begin where the last term closed. How often do we hear pupils complain as on did a few days ago, "I've been to South America four times, but each new teacher turned me back."
By following the suggestion below a commissioner can keep his schools organized and know the advancement of

101
'every class and pupil, and thus judge more accurately of the work of a teacher and prevent waste of energy and money.
NEW STUDIES ARE PRESCRIBED.
Some studies are included in the course that are now not prescribed by law, but they are so essential to a well-rounded course that the committee did not feel justified in omitting them, as many of our schools can and do incorporate them, and the legislature can more readily be shown the necessity of including them in the state course. \Ve refer to physiology, drawing, nature study and its practical applieation to the farm, civics and simple manual training. These ~an be left, at present, to the option of each teacher or <ioun(y.
It is expected that each teacher will make one or more sections in each form, some schools having three or four sections in the first form, while others may have only one. Each school can be organized according to the conditions, whether one or all of the forms are found, but promotions are made only on the completion of the work prescribed for a form, when a certificate of promotion should be given the pupil signed by teacher and commissioner. Promotions should be made on the suggestion of the teacher after such tests as he and the commissioner have given, either oral or written. Schools that wish to adapt the course to the p'ilded system of one-year periods can do so by subdividing each form into two grades, making an eight-year 'Course, but the committee makes no reference to years or terms, but to the work to be done.
A record book should be prepared under the supervision of the state commissioner to be supplied through the usual 'Channels to the teachers, the books to remain the property of the county board. In this book should be kept a record of the section and form in which a pupil enters, the time

102
of entering and of leaving, his standing) marked in letters. in several studies, his advancement during the term, his promotion, work outside the text covered, suggestions to the succeeding teacher where the pupil should begin at the opening of the next term, and a program of dasses. These record books should be printed by the state and with full directions to teachers, and the final payment of the teacher should not be made until the book is properly filled out and delivered to the proper officer.
The course is based upon the co-operation of the library with every school, thus supplying material for individual research, collateral reading and study, and affording the teacher an opportnnity to cultivate a love for good books and a habit of reading. Heference is made to the reading circle list of the state association. This list of books, or a part of it, is in the reach of every school, and the authorities should see that a library is begun in each school.
We have appended a schedule of classes where one teacher is supposed to have classes in all of the forms and two sections in the first. It is not made that any teacher can use the program as it is, but as showing how it is possible to divide the time to good advantage under the directions of the course of study. Ordinarily where all of the forms are in one school, there will be sufficient pupils fOl two teachers, one taking the two lower forms, and the other the two higher. By this means the recitation periods call be made longer and the number of hours reduced. In every program the seat-work should be designated as well as the recitation periods.
Your committee offers the course of study, not that it is perfect, but in the hope that it may prove a basis upon which the schools of Georgia may be better graded and the instruction be made more thorough and systematic.

(CIRCULAR LETTERS ISSUED TO COUNTY SCHOOL COMMISSIONERS.
Atlanta, Ga. Dear Sir:-Please have a meeting of your Board on Tuesday, Nov. 30th, to arrange for the taking of a new school census. Have a list of persons who are competent to :act 'as enumerators, and who will serve, ready for the consideration of the Board, so that the enumerator may be selected at Tuesday's meeting. Have the enumerator to ,begin work on Wednesday morning, Dec. 1st. ". Circular of instruction and necessary blanks will be issued from this office at once. There seems to be no ,doubt that the census bill will become a law.
Yours very truly, G. R. GLENN, S. S. C.
Nov. 22nd, 1897.
Atlanta, Ga. Dear Sir:-Since I wrote you with reference to taking ,the census, unexpected opposition to the census bill has -arisen in the Senate and will, at least, cause a delay in the disposition of the bill. This delay will make it impossible to take the census immediately, so that it will be unnecessary for you 'to call your Board together on next Tuesday. At the next meeting of your Board, please confer with the members concerning the matter of holding a general -winter examination, and notify me immediately as to

109
whether or not your Board desire such an examinationheld. Possibly you may have opportunity of ascertaining the judgment of the Board in the matter before another regular meeting is held. I have been inclined not to order' a winter examination for the reason that in many counties it has been impossible to secure a room that could be made comfortable, that 'was sufficiently commodious, that in winter the roads are often bad, and that the shortness of the' days works a hardship upon some of the teachers. Furthermore, a general examination involves considerable expense,. which must be paid from the school fund. However, having recently received letters from several counties asking that a winter examination be held, I shall order the examination if a majority of the counties want it. If the' examination is held, it will be held early in January.
Later-The Senate Committee has just recommendedi
that the census bill "dO not pass."
Yours very truly, G. R. GLENN,
State School Commissioner. Nov. 28rd, 1898.
OFFICE OF STATE SCHOOL Co~arrSSIONER,

ARBOR DAY.
My Dear Sir:-- I beg to call your attention to the factthat the first Friday in December is Arbor Day. As you are aware, the law provides that the day mentioned shall be set apart and consecrated as a d<ay for tree-planting, and shall' be known throughout the State as "Arbor Day." It is further provided that Arbor Day shall be observed in the

110
Jlublic schools of the State as the superintendent and teachers may think best, in order to show the pupils the value and beauty of forestry by pmctical tree-planting on school, church and other public lots, as well as on the public _highways. I hope that you will see to it that this important .occasion is observed as fully as possible by the schools of your county.
Your very truly, G. R. GLENN,
State School Commissioner.

OFFICE OF STATE SCHOOL COMMISSIONER,

Atlanta, Ga., December 21st, 1897.

-To the County School Commissioner.

My Dear Sir:-I beg to call your <attention below to

some important matters that must be considered at the first

meeting of your Board of Education in ,Tanuary:

1. The apportionment for your ~ounty for the year

1898 will be $

The entire school fund for the

'State amounts to $1,640,381. This apportionment has

been made on the census of 1893.

2. The Treasurer informs me that for both the first and

second quarters of next year there will be available in the

treasury for the school fund only $600,000-$400,000 Tor

the first quarter and $200,000 for the second quarter, and

that there will be no more money available until the first of

January, 1899. I beg to suggest that the County Boards

fix the Spring term so that we shall be able to pay in full,

for whatever work we do during the first and second quar-

ters.

At a meeting of the .state Board to-day, the school term

111

for next year was fixed at 130 days. If the Oounty Boards

of Education will fix the Spring term at 40 or 50 days, we

will have money enough to pay for a term of this length.

Then let the next pubric term begin in September or Octo-

ber, and we can complete the term for 1898; and by teach-

ing three months again in the Spring of 1899, we will be

able to teach six and one-half months from the time the

:Fall term begins in one solid term, and pay for the entire

work done at the close. My judgment is that the Oounty

Boards will find this plan much more satisfactory than the

one we have been pursuing. During the summer months

...

protracted meetings, Institute work, camp-meetings, pic-

nics, etc., occur, all of which seriously interfere with the

work of the schools; besides, during July and August the

weather is ordinal1ily so warm and uncomfortable that the

children accomplish very little. I hope that we will spend

a good part of our summer months next year in building

new schoolhouses and improving the old ones, so as, to make

our school buildings comfortable for :Fall and' Winter

schools.

3. I will send you, as soon as I can have thepl printed,

all of the school laws enacted by the last Legislature.

In the me~ntime, I beg to advise you that a new book

law was passed, requiring the State School Oommissioner

to ascertain the cost of school books used by all the coun-

ties in Georgia. !fany of the counties will have to adopt

new books during the next year. I trust that the Oounty

Boards will take plenty of time in making these adoptions.

There need be no hurry about the matter. Sufficient time

should be taken to examine the latest and best books of all

the publishers and to have the best teachers of the county

to examine them. The Board should also invite the sharp-

est competition, both as to quality and price of books. Be-

fore any adoptions are put into effect I desire to ascert.ain,

112

as correctly as possible, the number and the value of the

books now in use. Blanks for this purpose will be sent you

immedirutely, in order that you may put them in the hands

of the teachers with the opening of the schools in J an"!-lary.

4. During next Spring a census must be taken, and

blanks, with instructions, will be sent to you early in .Tanu-

ary for this purpose. At the first meeting of your Board

in January, it would be well to consider this matter and fix

upon some time in the near future for taking the censu".

..

I will have the instructions and the blanks sent you within the next two weeks.

5. A law passed by the r~egislature requires the State

School Commissioner to supply each County Board of Edu-

cation with a seal. The law requires that this seal shall be

used on all papers and contracts authorized by the County

Board. The seal for your county will be shipped to yon

by express early in January.

A law was also enacted requiring that copies of all con-

tracts now existing between Boards of Education and pub

lishers shall be filed with the State Board of Education

within thirty days. If you have a contract now in force,

please send a copy at once.

.

6. I beg to retnrn my sincere thanks to all the County

School Commissioners and Boards of Education for their

earnest and loyal co-operation during the past year. The

faithfulness of the Commissioners and the County Boards

in carrying out instructions from this office have rendered

my work a great deal lighter than it could otherwise hav.)

been. During the year three of our worthy Commissioners
have gone to their eternal reward. Hon. R. :M. King, of

Camden county; Han. W. A. Milner, of Chattooga county,

and Hon. Simeon Sikes, of Montgomery county, have

joined the silent majority in the Great Beyond. Last Yflar

two of our number went, this year three more have gone.

113
The three who passed away this year were good and true men, all of them. ,Vho will go next year, none of us can tell. I~et us be faithful to the trusts the people haye confided to our care, and earnestly endeavor to make lifC' sweeter and brighter for all our children. If the new year shall bring a summons to you or to me, may we so li,-e that we shall be ready when our last day comes, and for each of us may there be light at the evening tide.
Yours very respectfully, G. R. GLEN~,
State School Commissioner.
Office of State School Commissioner,
Atlanta, Ga., ,rannary 20th, 1898.
To the County School Commissioner:
It has been IJrClllght to my notice that my letter of December 22d, in regard to the school fund, may not have been properly understood. There seems to he an impression abroad, also, that the Governor was anthorized by the Legislature to borrow, from outside sources, $400,000 to meet the emergency that is npon us. I give 'Yon below a general statement that will correct this misapprehension.
In connection with this matter I beg, also, to urge upon the County Boards everywhere the necessity for devising some plan for paying our teachers more promptly. I shall press this matter from one end of the State to the other this year. The teachers should be paid monthly instead of (lUarterly. The next I,egislature that assembles in Georgia should be instructed by the people at home to enact such legislation as may be necessary to secure monthly payments for these worthy public servants. As the law now stands,
Ssse

114
when the State has money on deposit it draws 2 per cent.,
but if the teacher is not paid he has to borrow money. The teacher, as a rule, has to pay 12 per cent. to have his claims against the State discounted. I shall appeal to the people Qverywhere this year to send to the Legislature representatives with instructions on this important matter. This reform, like all other reforms that deserve to succeed, mU<l1 start with the mass of the people. I, therefore, call your attention to it, and ask your helpful co-operation and the co-operation of your Oounty Board.
Tn connection with this matter I give you below the following statement, which will perhaps make clear my circnlar letter of December 22d.
During the session of the last Legislature I was notified b:' the Treasurer that at the beginning of the year 1898, after the payment for the last quarter of 1897, there would be left in the treasury to the credit of the school fund less than $100,000. The Treasurer also stated that when tho interest charges on the State debt, and other amounts that had been appropriated for various other purposes, had an been paid out of the treasury, there would be left, all told, less than $700,000. The Treasurer also stated that th(~ Legislature should authorize the Governor to borrow this amount from the treasury to meet, as far as it would, the April and .Tuly payments for the schools. A bill was immediately introduced and passed by the Legislature authorizing the Governor to borrow from any fund in the treasury llllappropriated, $400,000 to meet the April and July payments. This amount, you will observe, added to the half .rental of the State Road, which goes to the 8chool fund, ilnd to the amounts coming from other sources that arc nedited to the school fund, gives us an available sum for meeting the first and second quarters, of a little over $600,000. Outside of the $400,000 borrowed, the am01mt to

115

the credit of the school fund for the first and second quar-

ten will be a little over $200,000.

That the condition may be more fully understood, the

following figures are given, showing the actual amount of

the school fund that would be available for the first and

second quarters of 1898, if it were not increased by the

addition of the $400,000:

1st. quarter. 2d quarter. Erom rental ,Vestern & Atlan-

tic Railroad

$52,500 00 $ 52,500 00

From tax on liquor dealers.

.

. 123,582 00

road. . . . . . . . . . . . 512 00

From tax on shows , .. ... 7,069 00

From hire of convicts. . . . . . .. .

. 16,000 00

Total.

$63,090 00 $195,603 00

From this it is seen that the total amount available for tho first quarter from the regular sources of the school fund is $63,090, and for the second quarter $195,603, making a total of $258,693. The amounts of the items from some of the sources are necessarily estimated, and the receipt of ,ame by the treasury may be delayed in some manner. So .adding the $400,000 to be borrowed from other funds in: thE' treasury, and to be added to the school fund, we can safel." place the total amount available for the first and second quarters at $600,000. This amount, while it is not half of the apportionment for the year, is stm more money than Yl'e had last year for the same length of time. Under the Comtitution of the State, the Governor is not authorized to borrow, for any emergency that may arise in tho treasury, an amount exceeding $200,000. I shall urge the Governor to borrow this additional $200,000 for the bene-

116
fit of the schools, if I am advised that many counties in the State make arrangements for the operation of their schoolsin the early part of the year. If the Governor sllOuld horrow this additional $200,000, we should have available up to the first of July, $800,000.
It is to be understood, of course, that the discretion and the authority to borrow this $200,000 are vested ab;;ulutel,v with t-he Governor. N ow you will observe from what I have stated above that we are spending nearly all of our school money before it comes into the treasury. The $1,000,000 raised by direct tax, together with the poll tJX, which amounts to over $200,000, do not come into th,> treasury until December. It was in view of this state of things that my circular letter of December 22d was sent to the County School Commissioners.
G. R. GLENN, State School Commissioner.
Office of State School. Commissioner, Atlanta, Ga., April 2, 1898.
To the County School Commissioner:
It has been brought to my notice by some of the Commissioners that a number of agents represent:in/2: severaT kinds of school charts are now at work in this State. Thr object of these agents seems to be to induce County Board;; of Edncation to buy these charts at prices ranging a11 the way from $20.00 to $37.50. It is alleged that the charr agent goes from one Board member to another ]?l'! I'atel.'! and secures signatures in this way to obligations to Imy the charts. I beg to advise you that any such action is ille/2:aL The only legal obligation that a Oounty Board of Education can make, must be made at a regular session of the Board, at the legal place of llleeting, uncleI' a regular call

117
for such meetings, and tho minutes of the Board of Education must show that a majority of the Board present at the session authorized such obligations to be given. Two County Boards of this State now have lawsuits on their hands because individual members, outside of Board meetings, signed oblig'ations of this kind. It is not necessary for me to say that, under the },aw, I cannot approve any item for a claim against the Board of Educat,ion unless the claim has been made strictly as the law directs. I beg to say further in regard to the purchase of these charts, we have no money at the present time to spend for charts of any' kind. if your Board has any surplus money, let this money be put into a schoolhouse or a good desk or something else that has permanent yalue.
Some of the new charts have educational value, and I shou:d be glad to see them introduced, if we had the money to spare for their purchase, but the price asked for these charts is above their commercial or educational value. }'l'om the best information I can gather, these charts do not. ('(1St the manufacturers oyer $5.00, and yet some of our people have been inveigled into buying them at prices ranging all the way from $17.50 to $37.50. Any bright teacher in the State who knows how to use one of these -charts intelligently can take a quire of manila paper and ]uake a chart that will answer our present purpose. I hope therefore that you will strenuously urge upon your Board to let these charts alone, at least for the present. A few years ago one county spent $1,200 of the school money for these charts, and sold the whole lot recently for $60.00. Another county spent $1,400 of the school money for charts, and the entire lot -is now lying in the Commissioner's office in the court-house. Some of them have never hoen used, and the whole lot is absolutely worthless.
The law gives the County Board of Education authority

llH

to purchase charts, but it imposes upon the State School

Commissioner the duty of auditing the accounts for such'

expenditures, and makes his approval necessary before

these accounts can be paid. I have already been compelled

to refuse to approve large accounts for expenditures for

eharts, and I deem it proper to put ,the County Boards on

notice, that if any items of large expenditures for charts,

appear in the quarterly financial statements sent to thig

office, I shall feel it my duty to decline to approve such

items.

FOURTH ANNUAL MEETING OF THE ASSOCIATION OF COUNTY SCHOOL COMMISSIONERS.
Macon, Ga., May 18, 1898.
The Fourth Annual Meeting of the Association of County School Commissioners of Georgia was called to order at 10 o'clock a. m. in the county courthouse by the president, Hon. G. R. Glenn.
After prayer, a hearty welcome was accorded the Association in an eloquent address by Hon. Washington Dessau, member of the Bibb county Board of Educat,ion, and representing also the mayor and council of the city of Macon. Mr. Dessan said:
Mr. President and Gentlemen of the Convention: A hasty call to the performance of this not unpleasant duty brings me hefore you this morning We had expected our Honorable Mayor, in behalf of the city of :Macon, to extend to you the hospitalities of this municipality. For some reason he is not present, and the double duty and quadruple pleasure has fallen upon my shoulders to extend to you a welcome in behalf of the city of Macon, f),nd also 'as the representative of the School Commissioners of the county of Bibb. I beg to assure you, gentlemen, that while my words may appear cold and formal, I expe" rience a sincere and genuine pleasure in meeting you this morning. That pleasure isa real one, bottomed upon the consideration that for the firs,t time in my life, I believe, I 'am in the presence of a body of men who are working solely for the interests of the grand old State of Georgia. I take it, that this body of meu, representing in part, if not entirely, the County School Commissioners of Georgia,

]35
have devoted themselves to their work not for any ulterior purpose to advance their own interests 01' to magnify their own reputations, but for the purpose of giving their State and their country the best of their thought and their effort upon the line of public education. And this is a serious matter, a noble matter, and an all-pervading one; a matJt~r that is so indissolubly connected with the good fortunes of our country that I am satisfied you will agree with me when I declare that whenever public education is neglected by the State, the day of our degeneracy has come.
The office of School Commissioner, if your office is anything like mine, is one that must fill every man's heart with 'a deep sense of its responsibility. It is true that you are not the teachers, but you are the watchmen on the tower for the teachers of the people. You are more; you are the General in the tent maturing plans by which ignorance shall be destroyed and driven from our shore and the libellty of intelligence shall be enjoyed by the people. Your office is a high one. It has no salary, or, if one, a trifling one, connected with it; it has no emoluments attached to it; no epaulettes glitter on its shoulders; uo sword dangles at its 'Side, but it is an office than which there is none more glorious in this country when its duties are properly performed. I do not utter these words for the purpose of creating any jealousy between your office and other high offiCeS that exist in the community, but I refer to the fact for the purpose of letting you, as well as the people, know that th6l labors which you have assumed and the duties which you have promised to perform are of great and lasting importance. Lord Brougham said nearly one hundred year ago that "The school-teacher armed with his prilller was a more important factor in the civilization of the world than ,all the armies and navy of this great and

136
glorious country." One school-teacher with his primer armed greater than such a magnificent host! However extravagant the distinguished statesman's remark IHay have been, we must all agree and insist that the idea which he promulgated is still the idea upon which the lasting prosperity of this American Republic must be established. We are in a war to-day with Spain; we are to-day assuming new relations with portions of the world. The map of the world is being modified nearly as rapidly as the cannon:; boom from the sides of our victorious ships. \Ve are making history, but, gentlemen, after the history of the pending war is written, its finality will not be reached until the school teacher has invaded and conquered what our arms may have won. The only limit you ought to set to your work is the utmost possibility of American success, amongst the nations of the world.
I need not say more. You 'are welcome, thrice welcome in our midst. We love the profession of the teacher here. vVe love the intelligence which makes us live; that stinlUlates to maturity the best and highest thought, that thought which makes the American citizen the master of the world Vve love all that which makes our people better, and that which makes our people better is to make them know. Education through the offices of the government---public education-is now a fact; and it is so certainly and permanently established as an American and a State institution that no man shall ever for one moment consider the possibility of a retrogression from our present system to the former system. Public education is now a public institution, and the people who have it in charge will be held just as responsible for its administration as the govprnor will be held for the administration of the general affairs of Stwte. So that the importance of your office is not to be minimized, but is to be kept constantly before you. I believe that when honorable,

137
patriotic men constantly realize the responsibilities upon them 'as public officers, they will as constantly meet these responsibilities in a proper and satisfactory manner.
. There is to-day being agitated all over our country the great question of ballot reform, that genuine ballot reform which will require every voter to be an intelligent voter. I look for that reform in our State, and the day of its coming will be a day of great rejoicing. The most important force and factor in the establishment of that great reform lie within the domain of that public education over which yo'll are the guardians appointed by the law. Yours shall be the high duty to exercise tremendous influence in the establishment of ballot reform, and the glory which shall come to our State shall be your just reward.
Gentlemen, you are welcome. We welcome you as a body of men, as a body of patriots, who have engaged to devote your time and service to the 'highest and best interests of the State and of the community; and may the Providence which watches over us all guide your thought and your deliberation along those lines which will enable you to receive greater light and constantly renew your splendid energies.
The meeting was then formally called to order and the preident addressed the asso0iation.
The roll of counties was called and the names of commissioners and members of Boards of Education present enrolled, a motion by Commissioner Guinn, of Fulton county, haVJi.ng prevailed during the call, inviting all members of Boards of Education to seats with us.
Address by Hon. John A. Saye.-"'Yhat Steps can be Taken for the Erection of Modern Schoolhouses in County Distl'licts?"
Discussion by several commissioners, which showed a growing interest in the subject of building better houses.

Discussed by Hon. O. D. Gorman and others.
Hon. ,V. N. Sheats, State Superintendent of Florida,
was !introduced to and heartily welcomed by the convention.
Hon. R. M. McCaslin, to whom the subject had been assigned, being absent, the subject "How Can 'We Best Dispose of County Line Schools?" was di3cussed by Mr. Rogers, of Washington county. He explained his method of dealing with neighboring commissioners instead of the teachers of such schools. He would, at the end of t.he year, give a report of the number of pupils taught by adjoining counties, and 'settle ,balances with the commisslioners direct. Mr. Houseal, of Polk county, favored the plan of rremoving schools as far as practicable from county lines.
Mr. Guinn, of Fulton county, hoped this meeting would recommend some uniform plan of dealing with county line schools, and therefore moved that a committee be .appointed for the purpose of reporting back a plan to this meeting. 001. Wooding, of Banks county, had never had any trouble on this subject, and opposed the motion. Col. Polhill, of Houston county, thought the present law on the subject was all that was needed. The discussion of the subject continued for some time, the State School Commissioner stating that it was the cause of more appeals to his department than any other subject.
The motion was lost by a vote of 20 'to 29. Address by Han. O. D. Gorman.-"How Can We Secure Grreater Uniformity in Reports of Teachers and in the Preservation of County School Records?" Discussed by Messrs. Baker, Wooding and Henley. Adjourned for noon.

139
The meeting was called to order at 3 p. m. Address by Han. W. C. W right.-"What Should the County School Commissioner Do upon the Occasion of His Visit to a Schoo!?" On motion, discussions limited to three minutes. Mr. Walker, of Walton county, thought the commis"ioner's viisits to his schools are important events in the school life of the little childrrell,and might be made opportunities of making deep and lasting impressions. The commissioner who does not exert a wholesome influence upon the impressionable characters of the children ought not to hold office. Mr. Baker, of vVilkinEoll, thought the provision of law that requires that the commissioner's visit should be without notice to the teacher was a reflection upon the good teachers, and should be repealed. Mr. Guinn argued that lit was a necessity in order to see the regular every-day work of the school. :1\11'. McCaslan thought that the conditions of the various schools were so varied that no rule of conduct could be laid down. Mr. Houseal thought that "as the teacher is, the school is," and as the commissioner is, the teacher is. Mr. O'Kelly argued that the visit of the commissioner was an occasion for inspirring enthusiasm in both teacher and pupils. Mr. Duggan thought the commissioner might accomplish much for the educational anterest of a community by visiting the pupils in their homes and the patrons of the schools, etc. Mr. Hill vigorously opposed the idea of giving notice of intended visits. Address by Han. W. R. Power.-"How Can We Secure the Monthly Payment of Teachers?"

140
DISOUSSION.
l\fr. Guinn, of Fulton, explained how Fulton county issues, each month, certificates which will pass at the banks and stores at a reasonable discount.
Mr. Fountain, of Pulaski, explained how his county would borrow the quarterly payments at a more favorable rate than the lindividual could, and pay the teachers in cash at the end of each month.
:M:r. Duggan explained his system of recording teacher's orders, which they could discount at the banks or stores at a very reasonable rate.
Mr. Welch also explained Dougherty's plan of payments. Address by Hon. J. D. Gwaltney.-"Best Methods of Securing the Oooperation of Parents in the Support of the School."
Discussion.
Mr. Farley said that he had often heard a good sermon spoiled by poor exhortation, and he thought this paper entirely too good to be encumber.ed with other discussioll' on the subject.
Adjourned.
Wednesday Night, May 18th, 1898. Meeting called to order at 8 p. m. Several pieces of most delightful music were rendered by the boys and girls of the city schools, and on motion of 001.

141
Discussion by 001. Morgan and 001. Welch. Address by H on. R. J. Guinn.-"The Necessity for Oonsolidation of Oounty Schools, and the Best !fethod of Grading Country Schools."
Discussion.
Prof. A. F. Ware told of some of the good results that would come of the grading of country schools. He said that a county could be graded just as easily as a city.
Mr. Wall objected to Maj. Guinn's proposition to exclude all except the common branches as pres0I'ibed by law, but favored ,the encouraging of other and higher studies when practicable. He also opposed the proposition to exclude such pupils as failed to procure text-books.
Mr. Rogers thought that a greater good to a greater number would be secured by enfoming both propositions. The subject was further discussed by Messrs. Gwaltney, Morgan and Gorman.
Address by Superintendent D. Q. Abbott.-"The County

-ADDRESSES DELIVERED AT MEETING OF ASSO~ ClATION OF COUNTY SCHOOL COMMISSIONERS.
(NoTE.-Manuscripts of all of the addresses were not furnished for publication.)
WHAT PER CENT. OF THE SCHOOL FUND SHOULD BE APPROPRIATED TO SCHOOLHOUSES AND EQUIP:MENT?
BY HON. J. E. HOUSEAL, C. S. C.. Polk County.
:Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen of the Convention: This question is a practical one, and is so closely related
to public education and the ultimate success of the school system of the Stste that it will be necessary to consider briefly the important bearing of burildings and equipment to arrive at any just determination of the subject.
A nrice, neat, well-equipped school-room appeals directly to the pride of the pupil. It encourages system in school work, methodical habit in having places for things and putting things in their places. By means of good physical conditions the teacher is better enabled to linduce systematic, methodical school work, not only in the little everyday affairs of school life, but in the more important considerations, lesson preparation, recitation work, etc., and coordinate all to the very best interests and more rapid advancement of the children und~r his guidance and tutorship. Such surroundings are real and better than any code of rules on order, inspiring and superior to artificial means for putting life into a school.

147
The school is more easily discipLined, more easily regulated, in a good building, well equipped. In fact, it is doubtful if the school can be made self-regulating under any other conditions. The. example-the daily object-lesi'ou-is emphatic and controls the will and the act when words and inhibitions fail. Lectures mayor may not in fluence the pupil. Advi<le--counsel-may go unheeded. That will depend largely on the personality of the teacher. Children may be restraiined from bad conduct by pro hibitory restriction, or influenced to good conduct by persuasion, counsel and advice, yet their efforts ought to be reinforced by the very best physical conditions, because they are influenced more largely still by what they themselVES do. From six to eight months in the year the school is the child's home, and its regulations of neatness, order, system, etc., become a part of himself and exert influences all along through life which help him to success. "Ve need, and we need badly, good buildings, well arranged and comfortable, equipped with good seats and other necessary appliances, that the habits spoken of may the more easily become semi-mechanical in the life of the child. "Ve are trying to make men and women of these boys and girls, fitted for successful c,areers in life, and having taken them in charge, it is the State's highest civil and Christian duty to give them all and the best helps available for the a0complishment of the miglity task. "Ve grossly underestimate the school if we think its only agency is to teach a little reading, grammar, arithmetic, geography, etc. The
school must do this al!41. more. Certainly mind'training-
the cultivation of the ir.tellect-is the chief object in vie!W; but hannonious development in lwhit and character must make the mental development of the child his guarantee for the future. This is the only means devised to make him quasi-independent of close environment and difficult circumstances.

148
Good physical conditions have about them some moral force. We suffer in our work to-day for the want of better buildings, etc. Money and efforts go to waste for the lack of better surroundings. Betterfacilities and better cOIlditions will produce better results and so conform the labor of school officers and the co-operative work of teachers and parents to the needs of the child, that the whole education of the child in his mental and moral character and in his daily habit may become the basis of his future prosperity and conduce to the best type of citizenship. Believe me, this is not mere sentiment. These things are difficult of accomplishment with the miserable, unwholesome, uncomfortable makeshifts, which we call schoolhouses in many localities throughout our grand old State. I prophesy better things for the Empire State of the South. Let her be the Empire state of the South, not only in her valuable timber, her rieh mines, her fertile valleys, and salubrious climate, but let us make her the Empire State of the South, by the agency of these summer schools, in the domain of the mind and in the property and character of her citizenship. But we say there is some moral force in good physical conditions. Many of our old makeshifts are incentives rather to mischievous, bad conduct in children, not very blameworthy in the child, when we consider the provocation offered; yet the resultant effects in the child'~ future moral make-up may be very deletemous. In many an old dilapidated schoolhouse, with half the panes broken out, the provocation to make the :building glassless strengthens; a boy is tempted to try his jack-knife on old rickety chairs and uneven-legged puncheon benches, to practice at drawing or cutting a "fox and geese" board on the old ante-bellum, improvised desks, so-called, or, perhaps, use a piece of meat-skin from his mother's soap-grease scrap-pile on the blackboard, three by five feet, with most

149
of the black already worn off, because the old thing is almost useless anyway; to break down a gate which already hangs by one hinge, or do any other like act under like conditions. Such provocation, or temptation, if you prefer, would be greatly lessened under better and proper physical conditions. You may say that such acts under the conditions 'are almost harmless in themselves. Yes, but there is a certain amount of moral force in them which may lead to vandalism when opportunity offers, and even worse things than that. The pupil ought to enjoy the best physical conditions possible not only for his intellectual advancement, but as helps to right conduct. It is not only an obstacle to his work to allow him to sit for whole school terms on rickety benches with antequated three-legged tables for desks, but is a crime to the child. How different must be the work of a child, and individual efforts count in education, self-activity measures leagues in mental advancement-how different in influences for good of a child who enjoys a neat, comfortable, well-arrang-ed >lchoolhouse. Pride in school work is induced, pride in the s0hool itself; interest is created, becomes contagious, touches both teacher and pupil; good motives rule, regul1ate; enthusiasm is born; pupils vie with each other in study and gOOf! conduct; success in mental and moral development is reasonably assured.
Proper degrees of heat and proper ventilation in school buildings is, perhaps, more important than in any other class of buildings. In very many of our schoolhouses in the country districts throughout the State there is plenty of ventilation to recommend them to the m0st earnest advocate of fresh air for the schoolroom. There is, however, suc,h a condition as having too much of a good thing along with vent!iIation; we need proper heating. Let me digress to say that, under our increased appropriation for public

150
education and longer term of our common schools, I believe it better for the advancement of the pupil to abolish what we call the "summer term." I will not tax your patience by discussing the effect of our southern climate in July and August on concentrated mental effort six to seven hours a day. Everyone who has taken time to investigate knows the disadvantages and results of school work under constant high temperatures, enervation, weariness, lassitude, exhaustion, for which there is no antidote. If our schools are to operate under more favorable temperatures-not- in the summer months-good houses are ,1 necessity. 'Ve must have sufficient floor space for pupil and sufficient ventilation to give enough fresh air to keep the pupil in a state of constant mental tension durcing; his hours of school work; but at the same time, necessary maximum temperatures ought to be maintained. Approximately a schoolroom ought to have about twenty-five feet of floor space and about three hundred cubic feet of air kept at regular maximum temperature per pupil. 'Ve can not even approach these conditions to mental effort in our present schoolhouSs. The health of the pupil demands better conditions. The pupils are crowded in our schools in summer with too little fresh air for school work or good health; in winter they are subjected to varying conditions of heat and cold, incapacitated on account of freezing cold often, frequently, perhaps, wrecked in health for life. vVhat need have we for trained minds, characters developed along right lines, the best types of embryonic citizenship, created at the expense of the State, hampered and fettered by wrecked physical constitutions? If the State takes charge of the education of her children, the school officers of the State must use every effort and every means to f>ro teet them in their health and physical constitutions while in their care. In our county districts we need little pro-

151
tecmon in most localities against foul air, which is a slow poison, but we do need protection against blasts of cold air which impairs health and slays like a sword. To protect our children properly in the schoolhouses in Georgia as they exist to-day, would call for large supplies of coal from the mines of Alabama and Tennessee and would denude our pine lands in South Georgia of Ill] the pine knots reachable.
Good buildings, etc., create interest in the community among the patrons. It is unnecessary to speak of the interest and cooperation of patroll's as one of the factors in successful school work. 1,Ve must have their support in this great work at whatever cost of effort in all directiom. They must know in detail the value to their children of good buildings, equipment, etc., in the protection of health, in the saving of tissue and labor, in the construction of habit, in the cultivation of the mental faculties, in the building of moral character. I give you a little observation in my own county. In several neighborhoods in which good houses have been erected and equipped in ,the last two years interest in education has been marked. The enrollment is larger, attendance is more regular, results of daily school work better, teacher's work more energetic, systematic and effective, cooperation of patrons more hearty and constant, school center of attraction and pride of the community. Do these count for naught in the great work of public education? With lanything like close, tactful supervision on the part of the county school commissioners of State these results may be accomplished more easily under good physical conditions.
I have hinted at the obstacle of poor accommodation to the school work of the pupil. I will not discuss it further than to state some general facts. There exists a very close relationship between the muscles and the mind. So much

152
has been written and said on this subject that we are all familiar with it. About fifty per cent. of the average weight is muscle. Muscles are the organs of the will. In fact, we have almost come to conclude that they are the organs of thought. If these things be so, the child in performing his daily school task must be so conditioned as to suffer the least fatigue possible; variety, change in school work, will do its nart, but will not take the place of bodily comfort. Fatigue results in exhaustion. Attention becomes inert in condition of exhaustion, and even simple mental processes are a failure. Fatigue oouses the child's mina. to be less sensitive. The mind is quickly wearied when the body is tired. The cause for this fatigue of the muscles, and consequent fatigue and exhaustion of the mind which are so fatal to attention and the control of the will, is found largely in the condition of our houses, seats, etc., and in the season during which our schools have been taught. Without taxing your patience by a further discussion of the subject, I think we may, in some measure, appreciate the important bearing good buildings and equipment have on the education of the child. We see they touch him at all points. They affect him in his intellectual growth, in his moral growth, in his physical life. The question is worthy of close investigation.
The conditions in different counties are so various, no cast-iron rule of percentage appropriation for building and equipment can be laid down. The school officers in each county must take into consideration all the surrounding circumstances and determine the just amount to be set aside yearll for the erection and equipment of good buildings, properly :Lighted and heated. In the expenditure of $1,600,000 yearly for common schools, the State will naturally look for commensurate results. I doubt if we can operate schools in such schoolhouses as are found through-

153
()ut the cOlmties in this State, in churches, old storehouses, cabins, "shacks," etc., and come up to the reasonable expectation or anticipation of the State. We must justify the disbursement by preparing for better work and then make the fund effective and efficient. Alabama requires that a schoolhouse shall be built in every district, before that district can participate in the distribution of the school fund. In Florida the 'school will be suspended, if necessary, and the fund applied to the erection and equipment of a building suitable. In Fulton county, in our own State, the County Board and County Sch~ol Commissioner have considered the importance of good physical conditions and have already passed resolutions saying that the common schools in Fulton county shall not hereafter be taught in churches and improvised buildings. If this action is wise in Alabama, in Florida, in Fulton county, Ga., why not in Georgia and in all the counties in Georgia?
From the magnitude of the work in hand and the important bearing of good buildings, etc., on the ultimate success and real value of the school system in this State, it is my opinion, and only an opinion, that from five to ten per cent. ought to be set aside yearly for improvement, until we can point with pride to hamlet and hilltop in our grand old State, where nestles a nice, cozy, comfortable, wellarranged, well-equipped schoolhouse, and say these are the glory and greatness of Georgia. Then the great civilizing and refining influences of education elevating our Georgia boys and Georgia girls in intelligence and character shall make Georgia what she ought to be in the emblazoned light and liberty of the closing years of the nineteenth century.

"WHAT STEPS OAN BE TAKEN FOR THE ERECTION OF MODERN SOHOOLHOUSES IN OOUNTRY SOHOOL DISTRIOTS."
BY HON. JOHN A. SAYE. C. S. C. Morgan County.
Mr. President, Fellow-Sufferers in the Oause of Education, Ladies and Gentlemen:
I have been requested by the State School Oommissioner to prepare for this meeting a paper on the following sub, ject:
",Vhat Steps Oan be Taken for 1he Erection of Modern Schoolhouses in Oountry Districts?"
I can best answer this question by telling what has been done in :1'organ county. "\Vhen I was elected Oounty School Oommissioner six years ago, there were only two comfortable schoolhouses in Morgan county for white children. Madison, the county seat, a city of 3,000 population, had for a schoolhouse an old barn, which was a disgrace to the town. Now, we have in the county, for white children, twenty-four good schoolhouses. Every house is ceiled and comfortable. We have patent desks in twenty of the twenty-four.
In Madison there has been erected at a cost of $22,000, one of the finest school buildings in Georglia.
N ow, the question lis, how has all this work been accomplished? When I went into office six years ago there were thirty-eight schools for white children. These schools wem taught in log-cabins, churches, and in various other kinds of houses. A school had no fixed location. The first term, ,Tanuary, February and March, would be taught on thi.3 side of the creek for the benefit of Sam Smith's children. The next term, July and August, would be taught on the

15,1)
other side of the creek for the benefit of Bob Brown's Ghildren. I soon learned that we had too many ~chools. Our money and our energies were too widely scattered. By [[ concentration of money, energy and enthusiasm the whole work has been done. I know the topography of the whole county. I would tell the Board of Education where n schoolhouse should be located. I would visit tlie neighborhood, talk to the people on the subject, get them interested in the school, find out what they would do. "\Vould then report the facts to the Board of Education. The Board would sometimes appropriate money; sometimes it would furnish the material, provided the people would do the work.
Our first school building cost the Board of Education eighty dollars. This building is twenty by thirtY-1lix. The work was done by the patrons of the schools. The patr~ll3 also furnished part of the matenial. We have built nineteen new schoolhouses, have repaired five, have put patent desks in twenty; twelve have been painted. DUl'ing this year and the next, we hope to have patent desks in every school for white children, and' every schoolhouse painted. Our houses are comfortable. Our schools are taught during the winter months, November, December, J-anuary, February, March and April. Every child then has an opportunity of attending school. In July and August we have picnics, barbecues, singings and protracted meetings.
\Ve have reduced the number of our schoolhouses from thirty-eight to twenty-four. These houses are so located that no child in the county is more than two and one-half miles from a schoolhouse. The building of the nineteen new schoolhouses, the repair of the five, and the patent desks in twenty, and the Rainting of twelve, have cost the Board of Education $3,086.53. These buildings and the furniture are worth to-day, -$17,500.00. \Vhat has been

156
done in 11:organ county can be done lin every county in the State. It will take work to get the people interested. I have traveled thousands of miles, have worn out horses and buggies, and have nearly worn myself out. The schoolhouses are there.
''We ought to be ashamed to die before we have done something for humanity."
Our schoolhouses are beautifully adorned with pictures, flowers, etc. The surroundings are clean and inviting. "Ve try to make every school the intellectual and socQal center of each community. We are collecting in each school a library of choice books. We have in some of our schools literary societies. We have lectures occasionally. We try to make everything so attractive and beautiful that sweet memories will forever linger around the schoolhouse, and that its surroundings will be a perpetual inspiration.
There is now no necessity for our citizens to move to thp.towns to educate their children. You will find better schoolhouses in the rural districts of Morgan county than you will find in many cities and towns. We have as good teachers as can be found in any <town. The school population of Madison has decreased seven in the last five years. The population in the rural districts has increased 373. This shows that the people are moVling back to the ~oun try, where they belong. The County School Commissioner must mold public sentiment on all school questions. I have edited an educational department in one of our country papers. Have found this very helpful in all lines of school work. Have succeeded in getting the negroes to build eight schoolhouses. It is hard to get a negro to build a schoolhouse. It is easy to get him to build a church. A negro lives in the future.
The city of Madison has erected at a cost of $3,000 a school bUJilding for the negroes.

HOW CAN WE SECURE GREATER UNIFOR.MITY IN THE REPORTS OF TEACHERS, AND IN THE PRESERVATION OF COUNTY SCHOOL RECORDS?
BY HaN. O. D. GORMAN. C. S. C. Talbot County.
In the treatment of a topic so practical as this, I trust you will excuse me if I draw largely on my experience and professional contact with the common school system of Georgia. Doubtless the plan, or method hereinafter indicated will differ in some features from the practice in many sections, as bearing upon the first division of my assignment. But this should not deter us from giving the methods outlined such consideration for practical adoption as the importance of the need may require. I use the word need advisedly, for I do not think any demand should appeal more forcibly to the admiplstrative methods of common schools than such a system of teachers' reports as will fully satisfy the requirements of an intelligent fiscal system, at the same time preserving all statistical and other matters connected therewlith, so that the method in its entirety and results will sllow on the County School Commissioner's records all the information growing out of the operation in the counties of the common schools.
As introducing in detail the working of the plan, I suggest that each County School Commisslioner adopt for business convenience a form (copy herewith) of account current with teachers for report blanks. The form shows rulings for the four quarters of the school year, with spaces for dates of forwarding blanks to teachers. The form also shows four debtor rulings for blanks forwarded each teacher's name, with a credit space for each debtor

158

ruling. The blanks may be sent out to teachers, say thirty

days be:fore date which is to limit the mailing of the report

to the County School Commissioner. This final limit

should be about a week or ten days before the audit

Jay for teacher's accounts fixed by board. A full report

of actual attendance only of each pupil of school age should

be required of each teacher, each report made to run from

the opeThing of the school to the day instructed by the

County School Commissioner for closing euchreport. I

would not require reports for scholastic quarters, but call

for all the work actually performed by the teacher within

the calendar school quarter, from the opening of the school

to close of the report on a given date. In order that the

County School Commissioner shall have ample time for

the thorough examination of reports, and the preparation

of accounts based on same, the dates instructed to teachers

for return of reports may be so divided as to allow one-

half the reports to be received before the other half is due.

It is needless to impress on the County School Commis-

sioners the importance of a careful verification of all

their work before same is committed to the duplicate item-

ized statement blanks furnished by the State School Com-

missioner for audit purposes. But before the work as

to accounts is submitted to board the County School Com-

missioner should show such work in a blank best termed

pay-roll (copy herewith). After audit by board of the

itemized statements the latter should be promptly signed

by the president of the board and the County School Com-

ruissi(l1lel and forwarded to the State School Commissioner.

Next in order should follow the recording by the

Oounty School Commissioner in his book of minutes

the various items of the expense account for such quarter, the minute book for such occasion being ruled so as to



159
show the pay-roll form, with full information, as indicated in pay-roll.
As to the further operation of teacher's reports, let County School Commissioner observe promptly his rule for furnishing report blanks, dividing dates for their return as before indicated. In the second quarter, and so on through the remaining quarters, have each teacher make report full for actual attendance only from the first opening of the school to date for closing the report as instructed by County School Commissioner. This report makes no exception as to attendance shown in previous report, or reports, but is made as though the teacher had made no other report whatever. You will readily see that when such report is received and goes to audit, by turning to your ledger account with such teacher you can easily find the aggregate days reported in previous quarter, or quarters, passed to the credit side of the teacher on ledger, and deducting same from total days of attendance shown in report in hand determine the attendance days which form the basis of the new account. To illustrate briefly: The first report shows an aggregate attendance in days, which is the . basis, at contract rate, of the account for such report. The second quarterly report should show, as previously indicated, the aggregate from opening of the school to close of such report, the aggregate attendance for first quarter, which has previously gone to .the credit side of the teacher's account, to be subtracted from the aggregate attendance shown in second report, the difference given being the attendance on which the second quarterly account of such teacher should be calculated, and so on through the quarters. The single, or first aggregate stands for itself. The first aggregate subtracted from the attendance aggregate for second quarter will represent the attendance days shown in teacher's report for such quarter. The first ag-

]60
gregate (first quarte.r) and second quarterly attendance, expre.ssed in days, added and subtracted from the total days attendance shown in third quarterly report, will give attenuance in days for account for third quarte.r, and so on. This method suppose.s a pro rata system of compensation, expressed in a salary, or otherwise. We could not calculate i~telligently under the Georgia system of schools, on any other plan for 'an equitable and economic distribution of the school fund. I submit h,erewith a form for ledger and record work, to which I 0a11 the attention of County School Commissioners.
Now, as to the form, for. it is necessary that we do things by rule, there is more in it than at first appears. It leads me logically to the second division of my subject, "The Preservation of County School Records." Certain specific information is required of each County School Commissioner by the State School Commissioner covering the operation of 00mmon schools, etc. If the records of the County School Commissioners are not kept in such a way as to afford at a glance all the information asked for, I . take it they are not properly kept. The records may be so kept as to express the general and specific items required to be annually reported to the State School Commissioner, as well as to show the history and results of administration by county boards. But the several departments of local administration and county supervision should be so divided as that each shall have its own record, these several records being so correlated as to show unity of design, and a complete history of the doings of the Board of Education and the County School Commissioner. I submit the following as a necessary list of blanks and records requirp,d for successful school administration:
Debtor blank sheets for account current with teacher's report blanks.


161

Teacher's contract with Board of Education.

Report blanks, form No.2, furnished by Department of

Education.

Teacher's account and receipt, 4-1- by 13 inches, perfo-

rated lines.

.

Record book for official acts of Oounty School Oom-

missioner.

Day book for order charges, and acceptances against

teachers (charges carried to ledger account).

Book of minutes, Oounty Board of Education.

Ledger and record (combined).

Oash register.

License register.

Blank for classification of public school teacher's re-

ports.

The ledger should be more than the name ordinarily

implies. It should be a complete record, so far 3B it relates

to the various Mcounts treated. It should also show, under

ruled spaces, on credit side the number of term days taught,

attendance in days for each quarter, average attendance

for each quarter, rate of compensation per month per pupil,

wfth total credit for account, as based on report, date for

each credit being the audit date for such account. These

items are to be posted to ledger immediately after audit

from the pay-roll to which I have already referred. Debits

on left on opposite page should, of course, balance credit

when account is settled.

In order that teachers may be able to make their quar-

terly reports to the Oounty School Oommissioners with in-

telligence, they should be required by board to provide

themselves Wiith school records, the same to be subject to

inspection by the Oounty School Oommissioner on call.

Such other blanks as refer to the department of education

will be furnished by the State School Oommissioner.

11 sse

162
The foregoing blanks and books should be uniform throughout the State system, so that the County School Commissioners may be enabled to discharge with greater facility and efficiency the various duties required of them. Especially should the ledger and record be prescribed by the State School Commissioner, as it is largely from the matter therein recorded, if in the manner <indicated, that statistical and other items can be secured for future use. A de partment in ledger and record can be so ruled as to express in the record the usual matters incorporated in the County School Commissioner's annual report.
The question, "\Vhat matters should be recorded in thn book of official acts," is most pertinent, and one of easy answer. There is a class of acts, such as the making of 'Contracts, etc., that, while official, should not go to record, as, when properly endorsed, numbered, etc., they form a part of the school archives. The more noticeable of the County School Commissioner's acts that should go to reeord are those that bcar upon his administrative duties, and such as may bind the Board of Education by their effect. Such matters, especially as the endorsement of licenses from other boards, endorsement of contracts for county line schools, etc., should go to record in this book; while the license register for each year should show endorsed licenses, as well as those issued in the county. The recor,l for a county line school, that is, of contract issued by another county, should show sufficient data for intelligent 1'eference.
Record for license should show about as follows: Endorsed third grade license (blank county, May 18, 189 ... John Blank, C. S. C.) of James Smith, for public school at Concord, in blank subdistrict.
A propel' system of filing should in every instance be gdhcred to. For each audit quarter the teachers' names

163
should be alphabetically listed and numbered, the reports and accounts for each name to have same number. These numbers need not be same through each quarterly audit account, as the same names do not regularly appear on audit accounts. As will be seen, this introduces uniformity through all the matter that goes into the quarterly audit accounts of the County School Commissioner, reference to any item being easy and regular.
As relevant to a thorough exhibit of his work, each County School Commissioner should keep a running casn account with his bank, or with cash, as case may be, so that for purpOSES of convenience ,it need not be necessary to refer to his check stubs to find amount of cash on hand at a given time.
The cash book of County School Commissioner should show only receipts and disbursements, each item on credit side of cash having its proper date. Receipt also to show same date. In consolidated form this book should also show in separate department each quarter's receipt, and the aggregate for each quarter's disbursements, any balance being carried forward to new cash account as in the regul,ar itemized system. This book should also show in separate department the aggregate expense account for each quarter, the same debited under proper date with the money appropriated to that item.
I have observed many ,irregularities as to the dating of teachers' licenses. The State School Commissioner orders ,an examination for a given date. All the licenses granted flubsequently by board on account of such examination should bear ,date of that examination, and under recent regulation, have the board's seal attached, when otherwise in shape.
As success in any undertaking is largely a mastery of ,detail, it is especially important that all the items or topics


164
to which I have referred should be carefully studied. Every matter coming before the County School Commissioner should receive prompt attention. He should be in full touch with all his teachers and schools. He should require teachers to carry out the board's instructions, and serve them promptly in their contact with his office. For their department teachers should be trained to work b,v business methods. All contracts should be entered into before schools are formally opened, while the County School Commissioner should know the status of every school under his jurisdiction, without the necessity of relying on the information of the teacher. These are essential parts of that uniform system out of which grow uniformity in reports and the general uniform conduct of county school interests.
At the risk of being tedious I have endeavored to give the details of a more uniform system of teachers' report;; and of other matters germane thereto. Its economic features are apparent when we consider that all mistakes are eliminated, that there can be no duplications of attendance, and that it furnishes such salient information as the records should contain for a full and detailed statement of the operation of schools. But it sho].lld be treated a& a part only of a system, as such dependent on all the working details that precede it. The preservation of public school records follows logically when the various matters constituting the record have been carefully broug-ht together. The record should express those acts and doings that makp up the practical working of the system. vVhen these rcsults have been worked out through a well-defined plan, the matters making the year's record should be closed, so that each year's record will represent itself, as related in the plan to all the years past, as well as the years future, Whatever methods for the betterment of the schools, or


165

business forms for the more rapid and economical dispatch of administrative duties, are evolved from experience will be shown in the annual records of the office.

SHOULD THE TRUSTEES OF OUR PUBLIO SOHOOLS BE OOMPELLED BY LAW TO lfAKE OONTRAOTS WITH TEAOHERS?
BY HON. N. A. eRAWFORD.
o. S. C., Lincoln Co.
This question only applies to short term schools, as aU long term schools are obliged to contract with teachers for extra time taught, and by reason of these contracts, it is almost universally the case that these long term t~achers are better teachers, have less wrangling with patrons and' school boards, and are better paid than those employed for short terms, without contracts with patrons.
Under the present school system the patrons in our county schools generally employ the teacher. The school board is notified of the election; a contract is made by the board with the teacher selected for the school term, aml that is the end of it; making three parties concerned and only two bound to carry out their obligations. The teachers are independent of the patrons, and the patrons are independent of both teachers and school board, and of course' many misunderstandings occur, which go to vex the State School Oommissioner for a settlement.
As the law now stands, neither the patrons nor their trustees are under any obligation to contract with teachers or pay any part of their salaries. It would be much better if they were compelled to do both. Our people are very . apathetic in the cause of education, and I know of no l;>etter way of making them take more interest in it than to touch their pockets. Even if their contract went no farther than obliging the patrons to see after the condition of the schoolhouses and school furniture, and furnishing fire-wood, etc.,

171
an improvement would be made on the present state of affairs.
Many of our country school-teachers are now complaining bitterly of the irregularity of attendance of their pupils. The patrons are to blame for this. But where is the remedy? Some school boards in the State are undertaking to solve the difficulty by expelling the pupil. This looh like "visiting the sins of the parents on the children," and does not look right. If there was a. contract binding the patron to keep the child at school, it would go far towards remedying the evil. This tirregularity of attendance not only affects the educational advancement of the child, but is a great injustice to the teacher in a pecuniary sense; as a consequence his salary is lowered because his average attendance is smaller.
To sum the whole business up I would say: Leet the patrons, through their trustees, contract with the teacher, and bind themselves for part, or whole, of the salary paid him. Turn the contract over to the school board, who will pay sUlch proportional part of it as may seem best in the,ir judgment.
THE MORAL SIDE OF SCHOOL LIFE.
BY HON. J. N. WALL. C. S. C. Elbert Co.
If a master workman had stood beside the foundation upon which was to rest the Bartholdi statue, without any inclination of the purpose for which it was intended, he would have concluded at once, that upon this groundwork of fifty-two feet and ten inches square some colossal figure was intended to rest.
When we take into consideration the seven wonders of

17~
the world and other creations of the ancients, we find our curiosity excited and the imagination winging a backward flight through the past ages <in trying to find out something ()f the peoples who gave expression to their characters through sUich hieroglyphics. These figures referred to suggest more than we read upon the surface. They convey to the thoughtful person a sentiment which embodies many of the characteristics of both ancient and modern people. They present in monumental form to us the conceptions of leading minds <in their respective ages, in regard to questions, which, in some way, occupied the thought of the populace; and in this manner they desired to reach the acme of expression and to transmit this photograph to all future generations.
But we do not find in these same people that the same strong desire existed to hand down moral worth to their posterity.
Socrates, in undertaking to teach morals to the young, brought down upon himself the curses of his own people, and he was finally compelled to drink the cup of hemlock, which put an end to his life.
Indeed, too often is it the case that teachers and parents are more interested in the tangibles and externals than in Pope's expression, viz. : "Worth makes the man and want -of it the fellow."
In the schoolroom, in numerous instances, are found 'xpressions of a high order of mental training in the pupil, but alas! when we look for the moral development, too often does it show up l~ke Mr. Payne's "knotty and nef!;lected pear-tree."
To develop morals in the schoolroom the teacher must see the necessity of first laying the foundation stones, and he must <conceive a higher ideal than Bartholdi entertained when he designed the sootue for the French government, which now bears his name; and true it is that such ideals

173
do not originate through fancy, but the imagination must be able to draw a likeness of the character of self, and thisit will do. Its command, like Cromwell's is, "Paint me as I am."
:Much, however, as the teacher may wish to appear a perfect model, he may rest assured that every pupil will bring to bear upon him an unerring camera, and will get the perfect image of his or her moral deformities, in spite of the teacher's desire to appear to the contrary notwithstanding.
If these pictures could be made things to look at only the result would not be so bad, but they are object-lessonswhich speak, think, feel and act for the pupil; and, as the assassin, after staining his hands wit,h the blood of a victim, makes clear each indentation of finger lines upon everything he touches, so does the teacher impress on the character of the pupils the moral defects to which his or her' nature gives expression in life.
If a teacher would take into consideration the fact that actions were colored by thinking, that same teacher would try to generate such a character of thought in the mind of" the pupil as would be conducive to proper conduct.
Hence, to succeed in this work conditions must be created.
We are creatures susceptible of atmospheric influence; therefore, we must impregnate the atmosphere with correctviews and with proper forces.
Goethe says, if you plant an oak tree in a flower vase, you must look for one of two things, viz.: "For the vase to break, or the tree to die."
Human excellence cannot be grown without providing' the elements in some sense; and they too must be made available for the pupil.
Peter Townsend Austen gives some valuable hints in the :May number of the "The North American Review'" along this line.

174
He very clearly shows that the child must not simply be guided but developed. You can guide until the pupil cannot go without it, but true development gives strength and inspires activity.
I desire to state this proposition in connection with the ioregoing:
N atnre in forming her pattern, in the embryo state, is always influenced by the character of the atmosphere which surrounds it. 'Ye get a good illustration from the plant which is found on well-prepared and well-fertilized soil .accompanied by thorough cultivation and generous seasons.
Under such cireumstances you see nature providing for a tremendous yield by forming a large pattern. On the other hand the entire converse is true under dissimilar conditions.
Every true teacher must have moral fitness in himsel:f or herself to such an extent as to become a positive quantity. I do not mean that such a teacher must simply be professedly good, but actually a true and morally clean person. Such a person must fully comprehend the philosophy of the question, and must be able to manifest it in such a manner that "he who runs may read."
Prof. Thwing, in the "Cosmopolitan" of April, says the most important thing for a pupil to remember after leaving -college is the outline of the great character of the man who taught him.
Intellectual development must not be underrated, as we are dependent upon this in all the phases of enterpr:ise in successful life, nor can we afford to overlook the development of the moral side of this question, as the virtue of our homes and the safety of good government hinge upon th,~ right conception, proper consideration and faithful meeting -of this obligation, as well as discharge of this duty. I will -say just here, as commissioner, we should be careful in the

175
-selection of teachers, and choose only those who are morally clean and fitted from such a standpoint to teach the chil.dren of our country.
It is a sad fact that some of the teachers of Georgia are not exemplary in life, but this is the exception and not the rule.
Some teachers have never felt that they were molders -0 the characters of statesmen, journalists, ministers, lawyers, doctors, farmers, mechanics, and indeed of every class -'Of men and women whose shoulders are to belCome the pillars of church and State.
But why should we be astonished, when, Cowper sang, <lver a century ago, these lines:
"Thus men go wrong with an ingenious skill; Bend the strait rule to their own crooked will; And with a clear and shining lamp supplied, First put it out, then take it for a guide. Faults in the life breed errors in the brain, And these reciprocally those again. The mind and conduct mutually imprint And stamp their image in each other's mint."
Every mother, in the strictest sense of the term, knows that the strongest moral safeguard that she can throw -around her daughter is taste properly developed; hence, she begins in early life to create such environments as are particularly favomble to the growth of such an element of mind and character. She at once realizes that taste comes largely from the opportunity of choice, and to furnish such an opportunity she plants in her yard or garden beautiful flowers of every hue and kind, and she adorns the walls of her home with pictures which give expression to -art; she provides musical instruments for the cultivation and pleasure of the family; she buys for her library good books for the children to read, and allows only such period-

176
icals to come into the household as furnish good and wholesome food for the morals of the children. In this way sha uses active for:ces, such as make the child see, feel and act, and out of this positive character becomes the result.
Now a teacher is not different from the parent. Both are leaders and teachers of children.
A young lady of culture (of heart as well as of head), of moral force and of neat habits, will, at the end of the term, send every girl back to their homes with living impresses of her own forces, and from such higher ideals of life will grow, land she can use the language of Shakespeare, when he says, "The pebble in the streamlet scant has turned the course of many a river."
The boys should be taught to know the worth of nlora! power, and the emptiness of life without it.
Example from those with whom we come in touch is the best medium, but biographies are very helpful. Such lives as Geo. vVa&hington's, Benj. Franklin's, and others, will invigorate the moral forces and furnish inspiration for the acquisition of moral power. X ow the teacher should know all these and numerous things besides.
Lastly, the schoolroom must first have in it a proper person as a teacher. Such a person must be strong of mind, well-informed, evenly balanced, of quick perception, neat in habits and gentle in every sense.
I do not presume, in a short article, that I am expected to give more than a brief outline of some of the thoughts connected with my subject, which I have tried to do, though in a disjointed manner.

177
BEST METHOD OF CONDUCTING AN EXAMINATION OF APPLICANTS FOR TEACHERS' LICENSE.
BY HON. H. L. PATTERSON. C. S. C., Forsyth Co.
Mr. President and Fellow Commissioners. At the request of our Honorable State School Commis-
sioner, I have attempted to prepare a paper on the "Best Methods of Conducting an Examination of Applicants for license to teach in the Common Schools of this State," which I now submit to your ,consideration. I entered upon this work fully conscious of the importance of the subject, and of the many objections likely to be raised to any paper that might be prepared upon it, IllS well as my incompetency for the task. I think this subject demands more reflection and thought than we have heretofore given it.
It has become a recognized fact, that the power and strength of a republican government like ours, and the perpetuity of its principles, depend upon -the intelligence and morality of her citizenship. That old adage, "As is the teacher, so will be the student/' carries with it an immense amount of truth. And we must remember, as superintenaents of instruction in our respective counties, in conducting these examinrutions, and .grading the answers submitted by the applicant, we are passing upon the competency and qualification of those, who are to be in a great measure instrumental in molding the character, shaping the morality and directing the intelligence of that citizenship; and thus we find that we are to a greater or less extent responsible fQr the future welfare 'and prosperity of our
H sse

178
State. These reflections suggest to us the importance of this work.
It was not intended by that provision of our Common .School law which requires that applicants for license to teach should undergo an examination, that this examination should be a mere formal test of their competency, but that it should be something more; it should be a real searching and sifting inquiry as to the competency, qualification and fitness of theaQplicant to teach. While the State School Commissioner is clothed with the authority and burdened with the duty of preparing the questions to be submitted to the applicant, and prescribing rules and regulations for conducting these examinations, and grading the answers, yet, after all, the great work of determining the worth and educational value represented by those an.ewers devolves upon the several county school commissioners throughout the State.
It is universally conceded that the great educational necessity in our State to-day is an elevated and advanced standard of teachers. It is useless for the State School Commissioner to prepare questions, and throw around these examinations, iflnd the distribution of these questions, such safeguards as he may see fit, unless the County School Commissioners throughout the State shall honestly, faithfully, earnestly and conscientiously discharge the duties which rest upon them in this important work.
The marked superiority of the competency and ability of those who instruct the .children in cities and those localities under the supervision of a local school system, over the teachers employed to teach, under the general school system throughout the State, and especially in the rural districts, has been a subject of much comment. I have no doubt but that there is ample cause in this matter, for just, and perhaps rather serve, criticism. Be it remem-

179
bered by you, my fellow commissioners, that if the class of teachers employed by us does not measure up to the standard and compare favorably with the competency and .ability of those employed in the cities, and the more highly favored localities, the respQnsibility rests upon us, and the fault to alarge extent lies at our doors.
'When we consider the amount of money appropriated by the State for the education of her children, the overburdened condition of the taxpayers, from whose honest toil this money is drawn, the 'amount expended by parents in the purchase of books, in building and equipping schoolhouses, the people have a right to expect and demand, yea, they do expect and demand, that this work be honestly and faithfully done, and that as far as may be in their power, each and Rvery County School Commissioner in this State should do his utmost to see that those who receive this compensation are thoroughly qualified, morally, socially and intellectually. Of an the time devoted by the County School Commissioners in this State, to the discharge of their respective duties, there is no time which requires more of their honest thought, their ca~eful study and watchfulness, as the time devoted to these examinations, and the grading of the answers of the applicant, and there is no day so important as the day set apart by the State School Commissioner for these examinations.
While it may be true <that the answers submitted by these applicants upon their respective papers are to be the leading criterion by which the teacher's competency is to be judged, still we must remember that a person may possess the requisites of scholarship or knowledge of books required of a teacher and yet be wlUnting in other necessary qualifications. It is on this dlay that the County School Commissioner may, to a considerable extent, fix in his mind something of the moral and social qualifications of

180
those before him. The acts, the conduct and the bearings of the severallapplicanrts during the hours of this exmnination afford the County School Commissioner much upon which he may base his judgments, in arriving at a just nnd honest conclusion, as to whether or not he shall recommend these respective parties to his County Board of Educ3!tion as fit and proper persons to instruct the youths of our State.
At last, as to how these examinations should be conducted and their results determined must, to a large extent, rest in the sound direction of each County ,School Commissioner. He must take into consideration his surroundings, the ~conveniences which he may have for holding the examination, and the wants and needs of the people to be served by these teachers.
One difficulty that we sometimes meet in the way of conducting these examinations is the unwillingness on the part of the applicants to submit to the authority of the Commissioners. It is very hard for those who have been in the habit of exercising authority, commanding obedience and enforcing discipline, to yield to the authority and discipline which it is necessary for a Commissioner to exercise in order to successfully conduct the examination. Then I would suggest that at the opening of the ex'amination, and throughout the day, the County School Commissioner impress the idea upon the applicant that he is master of the situation, and will exercise the necessary authority required to enforce obedience to the regulations prescribed by the State School Commissioner. This should be done with firmness and in a dignified manner, and not ill a harsh and' dogmatic spirit. The trouble that will usually arise in this respeot will generally be found to come from a ellass who have been donned with the title

J 81
of "professor" without any just right or claim to the
appellat.ion. I would drop this thought just here. That no one is
p'repared to exercise authority over children, enforce discipline and command obedience, who themselves have not first learned the lesson of submission to auth?rity, and to yield obedience to those clothed with authority to command it.
I would suggest that if it be possible, the examination be held in a building in which there are two adjacent rooms, one of sufficient capacity for seating the whites and the other for the colored; and that each applicant be provided with a comfortable seat, with a table or desk upon which to write, situated a sufficient distance apart, so that the applicants cannot interfere with the work of each other, or one copy from another.
In the published notice given of the examination, it has been my custom to name the hour at whi,ch the examination would begin; and at that hour, or within a very few moments thereafter, I call the body of applicants to order, and have them to examine the package containing the questions sent out by the State School Commissioner, and see that the same have not been opened or tampered with, Illnd when they are satisfied upon this subject, I then open the package in ;the presence of the applicants and read the regulations prescribed by the State School Commissioner for conducting the examination.
The paper should be provided by Ithe County School Commissioner. I have found what is known as "legal cap" or "theSI'S paper,".IS t he best forlt 'lIS purpose. I here give instructions to the applicants, directing that they ke~p the paper before them, so that the heavy lines upon the margin, running len~thwise of the paper, be always to the left hand side. That the applicant write at the head of

1l'l2
the page the branch, and in the upper right hand corner his or her name; that it is not necessary for them to write th~ questions, b11't to number the answers to correspond with the number of the questions under consideration; and that at least one line, if not more, be left blank between the several answers, so that the answer of one question cannot he confounded with the answer of another. That, upon writing down to the bottom of the page, the leaf be turned over, so that the bottom of the page on that halfsheet shall be the top of the other page on the same half sheet. I have them to write upon both sides of the paper so as to prevent the bundle from being bulky; cautioning them to always keep the heavy line on the margin of the paper to the left. This will enable the Oommissioner to put the answers together in book-form by securing the several sheets at the top with a paper fastener.
I have found it best to give each applicant the questions upon only one branch at a time, and I distribute these questions so that no two applicants sitting next to each other ::;hall have the questions upon the same branch at the same time. This, I think, puts it beyond the pm,vel' of any applicant to copy from another, who might be disposed to do so, or one applicant assistinK another.
As soon as the applicant has finished writing his or her answers to the questions upon the branch submitted, I take up both questions and answers,and furnish the applicant with questions upon another branch, being careful as I take up these papers, to put the answers to the questions on the respective branches in a bundle to themselves. I see to it that the applicants bring no book of reference, dictionary, teacher's guide or scrap-book into the room. I allow no private communication between the applicants,. or discussion among them, either connected 'with the examination or any other subject. While it is true that well-quali-

183
fied applicants might find time during the day to engage in conversation, as a pastime, upon other subjects interesting to themselves and experience no injurious effects therefrom, yet, this would naturally tend to disturb the others, and draw their attention from the subject-matter of the examination; and as no one person should be allowed to have any cause that is not the cause of all, I endeavor to make the answers to the questions submitted by the State School Oommissioner the sole subject of thought and reflection for the day.
It frequently happens that the applicants ask for some explanation upon some question submitted. In such case if I offer any explanation, or suffer another to offer an explanation, I require it to be done in such a way that all in the room may receive the benefit of it; but I prohibit and abridge this as much as possible. I do not think that applicants ought to be required to ask to be excused when they wish to leave the room temporarily; but after applicants have completed the examination and submitted answers to all the qu8l'!tions upon all the branches sent out by the State School Oommissioner, then they should be excu~ed., and after they have completed the examination and retired from the room, if they re-enter the room, I do not think that they should be allowed to occupy seats with those who are still engaged in their work, or have not finished their answers.
I have been told that in some counties the time allowed the teachers for writing out their answers to these questions has been limited to from four to six hours. I am not prepared to approve of a limit of that kind. I believe that the examination should begin as early in the morning as practicable, and that it should be continued as long as might be necessary to give each applicant a fair opportunity to submit answers to all the questions; provided the

184
same can be done during the day set apart by the StateSchool Commissioner for that examination. I have found that some applicants who have required greater time, and exercised the most caution in preparing and writing their answers proved to be the most effective instructors in the schoolroom.
After an applicant has submitted his or her answers upon any branch, and the' paptlrs have been taken up, I do not think it advisable to allow them to make a general review of any branch; but if any applicant should ask during the day, and before leaving- the room, to correct the answers to any question submitted upon any branch, after the Commissioner has taken up his or her answers, I think it but just and right that he or she be allowed to do so. After an examination is c10sedthe first thing I would suggest to be done would be to arrange the answers of each applicant in regular order to themselves and fasten the same together, so as to form a booklet, and for convenience the booklet might be arranged in alphabetical order. Then comes the important work of grading and valuing these answers. I do not think that the Commissioner should be confined alone to the exact correctness of the answers, that is, its perfect adaption to the form of expression used in text-books. While I think the answers should be substantially correct, yet I think the neatness with which the work is done and the business form in which it is gotten up, the regularity Dnd order displayed in the work, the general correctness of the language used and its orthography, together with its punctuation and the legibility of the handwriting, should be taken into consideration in fixing the educational value of that answer .
I think in the examination upon the subject of Arithmetic, that the applioant should be required and instructed to work out the problems submitted in the form in which

lK5
they think the same is best adapted for teaching, and leave the work upon the paper, and that this, together with the correctness of the amnveT, should constitute the criterion by which the value should be fixed to ,the question submitted.
I do not believe it to be a good plan to grade the answers of a single applicant entirely through the examination at once, but I think 1he better plan is to grade all the answers of all 'the applicants on each branch separately; thus, when you take up a branch like Orthography, that you grade the answers of all the applicants upon that branch before 'Commencing 10 grade any of the answers upon any other branch.
I believe that it is but just and right to the applicants that the Commissioner should be required to place the value that he puts upon e;ach answer on the applicant's paper at the end- of that answer, and that after he has completed his gmding, and before he makes up his report to the Board of Education, that notice should be given each applicant, and all who desire to do 80 be allowed to come
and -review the work of the OominU~ioner. In any c~se
in which they think the Oommissioner has not dealt justly by them, if the applicant and Oommissioner cannot ,agree upon the matter, then that answer will be marked, and the question and answer be submitted to the Board of Education, and by them reviewed, or reviewed by such authority as the Board may select. This will enable the Board to overlook all the work of the Oommissioner in grading the answers that it may be necessary for them to overlook or review, in order that complete justice may be done, and at the same time relieve them of any unnecessary work upon this branch.
I never allow the answers submitted by an applicant examined by any other perwn, except the Board of Edu-

186
cation, or such persons as they may select to review the work or the Commissioner, unless the same be at the request or the applicant.
The letter or our school law does nolt appear to provide ror an appeal rrom the judgment or the Commissioner in this matter, hut leaves the matter to rest arbitrarily with him; but I believe the spirit or our school law would admit or an appeal rrom the judgment or the Commissioner in such cases, and I know that this is in perrect accord with the general principles or our system or government, thererore, I offer these suggestions.
And now, my rellow Commissioners, I respectrully submit this paper to your consideration, rully aware or its imper:fections, and that there is nothing in it . but .what perhaps you have all thought or berore, and that the plans and suggestions herein made, or others superior to them, have been practiced by you in the past.
"SHOULD THE COUNTY BOARDS OF EDUOATION OWN THE SCHOOJ.JHOUSES."
By HON. H. W. WOODING, O. S. O. Banks 00.
A question, on either side or which much that is ravorable can be said, but I shall take the negative, because I do not believe any one can enter rully into the enjoyment or a privilege without sharing its responsibilities, or that anything really good and worth having can be obtained without a sacrifice.
The pleasure we find in the enjoyment or the privilegE: or the rree institutions or our country is enhanced by the knowledge that we are responsible ror their maintenance and perpetual existence.

]R7
Our government, the best in the world, and in ever,f respect worth haViing, is but a monument to the sacrifice of millions or-wealth, thousands of noble lives and untold sufferings of its people, and we love it the more because of these sacrifices, and those that must follow to maintain its glory which is the admiration of the world.
From the day that Adam was driven from the Garden of Eden to eat bread by the sweat of his brow, to the day that Abraham, in obedieIlice to God's command, and that he might retain God's confidence and companionship, led Isaac up on the mountain, and thence to the day that Gou manifested his unbounded love for all mankind by allowing his only son to be led to the cross, religion was made up of sacrifices, and in obedience to the command of the sacrificed one to feed my lambs and care for the stranger in your gate, its votaries assumed the responsibilities and sacrifices, and great is the joy and happiness on account of it.
So with our sKlhools, miniature States, 1ittle worlds of little people, from whose resources we must draw the futun men and women of church and State. And what must we teach them? Shall it be a spirit of self-reliance and liberal independence that carries with it a love of responsibility for the maintenance of all that is good,or shall it be a groveliIlg spirit of paternalism that produces the unhallowed thought that it is the duty of the government to support the people, and not the duty of the people to support the government?
God forhid the latter, as we have, already too much of that [lbhorrent sentiment stalking abroad through this fail' land of ours.
The former, however, should be instilled into the minds of the children by every power that we possess, and as a means to that end let us leave the responsibility of own-

188
ership, builcLing and maintaining the schoolhouses in the hands of the people of the communities where located.
The State has, practically, decreed free tuition, and while it may not be popular to say it, I am of the opinion that the limit of her generosilj;y, duty and obligation on that line has been relllChed.
It was clearly the intention of the framers of our school law that the money appropriated should be applied to the payment of the teachers, and being in hearty sympathy with that intention lam unqualifiedly opposed to divert,ing it into any other channel, but think that some of the burden of educating a child should be borne by the parent; then, as it will cost him something, he will appreciate it the more.
1 the boards owned the schoolhouses, who would care for them? Surely not the Oounty School Oommissiioners, for they have their hands full already, and to employ another for the purpose would reduce the pay of the teacher, and God knows we do not want to do that.
In the matter of building schoolhouses economy suggests that the wisest and cheapest place is the combination of the capital and labor of a commun~ty on a slingle object and the result will be surprising.
Would ownership of the schoolhouses give the boards more control of them than they now have? I cannot see how that could be, for at present we have the most absolute control, and can establish or discontinue schools at will.
It is a rule in our county that no school will be allowed in a house unfit for the purpose, and the result is that all of the log schoolhouses have disappeared and neat buildings erected instead. So we have the control without the cost of building and maintaining the houses. The individual should feel that he has a personal interest in t,he schoolhouse, and that it is his duty and privilege to beautify and

189
keep it in o'l.'der, so that he can pay the debt he owes his country by giving it the most intelligent and independent citizen possible in his child.
To the encouragement of this sentiment I use my most persuasive eloquence when I vislit a community. I also encourage the boy who on Friday afternoon steps boldly on the stage, and in a voice choked with emotion says, "Butcher killed the oalf, that was half, throwed him over the wall, that was all," to feel proud that his father is partly responsible for the building that shelters him while trying to prepare himself to fight intelligently the battles of life. Then, in "after years, when his mind reverts to the happy school-daysarrdthe old schoolhouse his childhood knew, he will feel pride and pleasure nn the thought that the capital and labor of his father helped to make the spot so dear to memory.
Local pride, neighbor zeal and enterprise among our people is the foundation of our greatness as a 'State, anrl we should take pride in fostering it.
Pursued to its logiical conclusion would not the taking of the responsibility of owning the schoolhouses from the people suggest to them that the county boards should own and furnish the school furniture and books? and the spirit of self-reliance be driven out and the spirit of paternalism driven in?
Possibly in some extreme cases a little help from the county boards might prove beneficial, but I dare say such cases are rare in Georgia, for our people are able to build and own their schoolhouses.
Our forerfathers, who came here ,vith the axe in one hand and the rifle in the other to lay the foundation of our State, built schoolhouses and owned them too, and we are much better prepared to do so than they were. Now, my friends and fellow-workers, let us not intrude on a single responsi-

190
hilii.ty or sacrifice that properly belongs to valuable citizenship, but encourage that spirit in our boys and girls that will make them, in every sense, worthy to wear the man tIes of our best men and women, and maintain intact the greatness and g'lory of our State and nation. And then, when we are called upon to surrender the positions we now occupy, we can do so with a consciousness of duty well performed, which it its own reward.

SHOULD OOUNTIES BE OOMBINED FOT{ INSTITUTE .WOHK~

BY HON. J. N. ROGERS. C. S. C., Washington Co.

The establishment of the annual Institute f01' the Geor-

gia teacher was a long Sltep in educational progress, The

amount being expended by the State for this work is less

than one cent per capita for the children in attendance

upon the schools. When we take this view of it, we are

surprised to find that any appreciable good with so small

an expenditure has been aooomplished. But when we go

into the country schools and see there a grade of work

that was totally unknown in them ten years ago, and

,vhich was then found only in the most progressive city

schools of the State, none would dare say that our grand

old State is more profitably spending any of the large

amount that annually passes through her coffers than the

forty-two cents spent for the improvement of each teacher

actively engaged within her bounds.

'

The question naturally arises, in what way shall these

annual meetings be conducted so that in everyone of them

the maximum of beneficial results may be attained. To

properly consider this question, we must agree on what

191
i:3 possible to be accomplished under the most favorable conditions that can be effected with the means set aside for the purpose. As a basis of that understanding I lay the:::e five propositions:
First. The benefits of contact with others in the Eame line of work.
Second. The live progressive teacher is made Etrongel' and is afforded opportunity to perfect himself on his weak point.
Third. The over-confident and pedantic teacher i::: toned down.
Fourth. The. teacher not blessed with special training learns to study his methods and make intelligent comparisons with the work of others.
Fifth. The talent employed to lead the work shall rank above that which is to be instructed.
And further. we mnst admit that no teacher, County Commissioner, or memlJer of a county Board, can do his full duty unless he if' a :3tudent in all things that tend to increase his ability and efficiency for the work in hand. I look vvith contempt on the teacher, 'city superintendent, C'l' county commissioner who is conceited enough to think that he needs no instruction, and who wisheB no improvement in his present qualifications.
Yow are the live progressive tea'chers and commissioners to have solved for them the vexing problems to which within themselves they find no solution? In their monthly meetings they are of v1ast benefit to each other; they freely confess their failures, and in true brotherly spirit rejoice in their ability to suggest expedients that fully meet many of the caUSeB of trouble; but some points remain in doubt.
. To be able, then, to meet once a year with the commissioners and teachers of several surrounding counties gives a splendid opportunity for further discussion of those ques-

192
tions that have been unsatisfactorily disposed of. This last thought presupposes that an up-to-date county board has a meeting of its teachers at least once a month, and I say it without fear of contradiction, that no county board ii' discharging its duty which nails to have these meetings.
The point just mentioned is not the most important in connection with combined meetings, as the propositions first stated merit a more serious consideration. There is so much the teacher needs that is not found in books; so much that can be gained only by contact with the world; insight into human nature, knowledge of current events, and how men look at them, especjally what is transpiring in the eduClational world. In short, the true teacher is more a student of men and their environments than of books. The just measure of a teacher's power- is not so much what he knows, but what he can do with that knowledge.
These combined meetings have inspired the most efficient teachers to greater effort, enabling them to overcome many hitherto insurmountable obstacles, which impeded the attainment of that success their true, noble hearts longed to see. They have in thousands of instances enthused the indifferent teachers, making them for the first time realize that they should accomplish more than ~erely the approbation of their well-meaning but oftentimes misguided patrons. They have been the means of convincing many scholarly school-keepers that a mere knowledge of books is not the only requisite of one who essays to fill sa responsible a position. A graduate of one of the high schools of the State, who had taught three years with apparent success, attended one of these combined meetings. The next week she told her superintendent that she had taught her last day. She expressed regret at the harmful things she had done, believing, at the time, she was doing that

193
which was best for those under her Clare. She rec()nciled her conscience with the thought that the fault was with the State in allowing those to teach who were not fitted to the work. She accepted other employment ata smaller salary, because she rightly saw that she was not a teacher.
There is a large class of teachers who, by nature and by constantly measuring themselves by the immature minds with which they daily live, become dogmatic and so aggressively positive as to prevent their taking an impartial view of any question. Such teachers are invariably benefited by these meetings. By being brought in contact with superior minds they are enabled to get a correct measure of themselves.
With this latter cLass may be rated those who are too scholarly for successful school work. Their theories, upheld by a mind filled only with abstract thoughts, fail to touch the chord of child-nature which makes of it all that is above animalism; all that marks the difference between the materialist and the correctly developed, active, patriotic man. By attendance at these meetings they are brought face to face with their one-sidedness, and they are forced to appreciate the fact that other things besides educamon, in a restricted sense, help to move the world.
Every teacher perforce becomes a student of human nature to a limited extent; bm it frequently happens that the study is unconscious and without system. Furthermore, the results are unrecorded and of doubtful practical value for future help. An all-practice without theory habit is just as bad as the reverse proposition. The average Georgia teacher has taken up his work without and preparation except tnat which is gained from text-books of common nse in the schools and colleges of the State. Great the wonder is that gross violations gf pedagogical principles have not been productive of more harm than is
13ss c

194
usually conceded. Confronted with this condition, wha\ better method can be conceived for increasing an interest in professionJal study among a willing but faulty dass of teachers, than by bringing them in contact with the best, not only of their own county, but of the surrounding sections. By observation I know that better work is done by a growing teacher who holds only a third-grade license than by a grown teacher who holds a state license.
Combined meetings give us the means to employ better talent to lead in the discussion. Talent that, by natural fitness and persistent study of the various and intricate ramifications of pedagogy, is enabled with precision to map out and delineate the fundamental principles that form the basis of all true education. When these principles are ignored, whether from ignomnce of their existence or the unfitness of the teacher2 there is always damage to the mind of the pupil. As well say that it is unjust for the law to require that a man s~all have spooial instruction under ski1ledand experienced physicians before he may be allowed to prescribe for the physical being, as that a teacher need have no instruction before administering to that more important part of our being, the mind.
I would not be understood to say that the teacher should give up his individuality in order to accept and practice the theories 'of others. He is under obligations to himself to respoot and defend all methods by him practiced. He owes it to his profession to be always able and ready "to give a reason for the faith that is in him." The greatest trouble comes of those who have no method. To all these I say: My dear fellow t{lachel's, you must have a method if you would dare attempt to rise in your profession. You must ever be on the alert to see that none other is more successful with his methods. 1 on examination. you find your method is not a perfect one, haste, I pray

195
thee, to the mending of it, and rest not nor allow any attraction to divert thee until <thou hast attained that end. This advice is equally applicable to county commissioners, with this additional passing remark: It is tantamount to a confession of weakness and incapacity for you to acknowledge that others are doing better supervisory work than you.
After the teacher, commissioner, or member of a county board has read what literature may be found pertaining to his work, where better can he go to obtain that further instruction which the printed page cannot fully elucidate than to a meeting of teachers presided over by some broadminded specialist. The ten days I sat at the feet of :E'rancis Parker did as much to fit me for my work as the knowledge previously gained from books.
Realizing from experience and personal observation the magnificent results that have come from some of the combined institutes held under the present law, I shall welcome the day when these meetings are systematized as regular institutions of the State.
All whose opinions are accounted worthy are agreod that special instruction is essential to first-grade work by any teacher. If then Normal training is good, and the State assumes this task, it should reach every teacher employed within its bounds. The wonderful revolution wrought in the efficiency of many of those who have attended the Athens school shows conclusiv~ly tl!e wisdom of its establishment, and is convincing proof that we could nnder no circumstances afford to be without it. But after graduation at Athens, the teacher needs at lelast once a year to come in contact with the latest and best in the line of pedagogical work.
The State Teachers' Association,at one of their meetings at Cumberland, recommended that the Institute in-

196
structors be employed by the year at salaries in keeping with those paid for similar lIalent in the State Normal School. I fully endorse the idea, but suggest thrut these Institute instructors be made a part of the faculty of that school. It would be 'a judicious move to have a part of the faculty of the State Normal conduct these meetings throughout the State, in order that the work done in the annual meetings shall be in line with the course of study being pursued at that school. Under this arrangement, teachers who are working their way through that institution might be credited with the time they attended the annual meetings.
As a further provision for more systematic and thorough work, I suggest that the time for these meetings be made two weeks instead of one. Let the one hundred and thirtyseven counties be divided into twenty Institute districts, to be formed 'around such towns as are easily accessible by railroad and contiguous to the territory to be served. These towns would gladly build assembly halls and offer other special inducements to secure these annual meetings. Let the meetings in the southern and central parts of the State be held during the winter and spring, while those in the northern part should be held in. summer.
By the arrangement outlined a:bove, the thirty-four bundred dolhirs now expended for institute instructors would go ,along way toward paying the four teachers that would be added to the faculty of the State Normal.
This extra help is much needed in that school during the fall, and they would fully earn their salaries while not wgaged with the district institutes. Thus harmonious work would be insured throughout the State, and a system established which soon would make all our teachers followers not of a trade but of a profession.

197
SHALL WE HAVE SPEOIAL OONDUOTORS TO DO ALL THE INSTITUTE WORK IN THE
STATE~
BY HON. JNO. W. HENLEY.
O. S. 0., Pickens 00.
In the discussion of the question propounded, facts, circumstances and conditions upon which to base an argument must either be assumed or relied upon as they now exist.
1 we adopt the former course our conclusions will vary according 10 the assumptions made and deductions drawn therefrom, and our answer will be correct or incorrect in proportion to the truth or falsity of our assumption and deductions.
1 we are to launch our bark upon the wide waters of imagination, to be drifted hither and thither by the uncert~n freaks of a windy fancy, our destiny is quite uncertain, and before effecting a landing we Inay run aground, fall into the hands of the enemy and be bound with error's chain. Therefore, we shall not venture far from shore, but will offer a few remarks founded on existing facts.
The legal existence of the Teachers' Oounty Institute is of recent 'birth. Prior to the year 1891 we had no law providing for such an institution, but the teachers, in many instances, did voluntarily organize and maintain institutes in V'arious parts of the State prior to the enactment of any statute on that subject. It is to the credit of the more progressive teachers and educators of our Snate who, real. izing the importance and need of such an institution, brought to bear upon our General Assembly arguments and influences which resulted in the Act of 1891.

198
Within the past few years, the Teachers' County Institute has exhibited unmistakable signs of vitality, and now we feel justified in saying it lives and has a place among the educational institutions of our State. Though only a youth of tender years, sired by educational heroes, caressed and fostered by the maternal benedictions of Georgia, the mother of heroes, the institute has grown to stalwart proportions, and is accomplishing wonderful feats in the educational arena.
"\Ve are not prepared to assert that the best possible results are being achieved under the present modus operandi, but we do assert that inestimable benefits to the teachers and the people of our State have already been achieved under the present method of conducting and operating our instHutes, and before advocating changes we should have good and sufficient reason to believe that the chango will produce better results.
Some of the benefits that would result from having special conduC'tors to do all the institute work would be:
First, Uniformity of work. (N01, method.) Under the present way of conducting institutes, the exercises and instructions "1ary according to the ideals, whims !ind hobbies of the several experts. These experts are legion. Their grades are as numerous as the seed of Abraham, the blessing not being attached. The quaEfications and efficiency of some of them deserve a greater title than experts; they are experters-this title invariably to be in large capitals and underscored at pleasure. Second, A higher degree of proficiency on the part of conductors and greater efficiency in results. This, of courseI is conditioned upon the competency, honesty, 'ability, the unbiased and untrammeled authority of the appointing power. This power should not be

199
put in the hands of political thimbleriggers, to be handed out to unworthy clamoring comrades.
Third, A systematic gradation of institute exercises conformable to the various grades of teachers.
Fourth, Great Progress by all grades of teachers.
Fifth, q sJ:3qm,e'l- to tJ:ud 31{tUO ~OO.I3'1-U! p3sueJ:~U! uV having a sp~]al work assigned a~d a d~finite end in ~iew.
A regular course of study would be assigned to each grade of teachers, and by them pursued to completion.
Sixth, The promul~ati:on of a system of graded schools. In the average institutes, the teachers are of various grades and experiences; consequently, the exercises cannot be so arranged as to meet the wants of all the teachers. If the conductor attempts to teach them in a body, a large proportion of the teachers are not greatly benefited, therefore, we should have graded institutes and a regular course of study prescribed. vVe hold our institutes only five days. It is seldom that one conductor serves the same institute more than one session. The result is the conductor often consumes the entire week in an effort to learn the wants of the teachers. The next conduc,tor does likewise. Hence, the threshingover of old straw so often experienced in our institutes. By having the institute work done, from year to year, by the same conductor, and a record kept of exercises and results, and by having th0 teachers classified according to their several grades, and actual class-room work assigned to each accordingly, a great 'advance, in my opinion, w~:mld be made in our institute work, and better results would be .achieved. The supervisor of the Teachers' Institute of the State of New York, in his annual report for the year 1896, says: "One marked improvement has been the increased number of graded institutes. Wherever the institutes have

200
been held there has been an enthusiasm and spirit never known before. The reports from these institutes have shown very gratifying results. The most valid criticism adverse to institutes heretofore made was that the instruction was given to a body of teachers representing all grades, and that as a necessary result only a few were benefited by any given hour's work. The graded institute has entirely disarmed the critics."
If graded institutes are a success in New York, it is reasonable that such would be an improvement on our system.
We cannot dwell longel' on the advantages arising from having Special Oonductors to do all the institute work of the State. We must consider possibilities.
FACTS.
In this State we have about 9,261 teachers employed in our public schools. \Ve have 137 counties, and under existing laws the State School Oommissioner is authorized to organize and establish a Teachers' Oounty Institute in each county of the State. In his discreti'on he may combine two or more counties, and the sessions may be held in any county desigiliated by him.
WHAT COMBINA'TION8. CAN BE MADE?
In making combinations of county institutes the following should be carefully considered:
1. Accessibility to place of holding the sessions. 2. The number of teachers in the counties combined. 3. The size, nature and condition of the building in which the sessions are to be held. 4. The time 'of holding the institute. 5. The probable expense of those attending the institute. Our present law provides for $25.00 per county, or the total sum of $3,425.00 with which to pay Institute Oon-

201
ductors. Our schools are now operated 130 dilys of the year. The months in which they are operated in the several counties of the State vary in different sections, the effort on the part of the Boards of Education being to operate the schools in those months best suited to convenience and comfort.
Our institutes should be held at such time as will least conflict with the operation of schools, and be most conducive to comfort and convenience.
In may instances suitable buildings cannot be procured for the accommodation of large bodies of teachers.
Should the institute be held in the cold months of'winter, great difficulty would be experienced in procuring buildings properly neated and ventilated.
If we deduct from the 261 scholastic days of the year, 130 days, the time occupied in the operation of our schools, and 51 days for the extreme hot and cold seasons, we have 80 days remaining in which to operate our institutes.
SPECIAL CONDUCTORS REQUIRED.
Six special conduc.tors will be required to do all the institute work of the State within the limit of 80 working days.
Persons competent to do the work which would be required of special conductors would command and demand reasonable 'yet handsome salaries.
The State of New York pays for the services of one supervisor of institutes, five institute conductors, three special conductors and one lecturer (including local expenses) the sum of $35,071.36.
From the foregoing statement of facts we conclude as follows:
1. Better results would be atlJained by having special conductors to do all the institute work.

202
2. Our funds are not sufficient to defray the necessary expenses and pay the salaries of the number of special conductors that would be required to do the work.
3. This fund can be raised only by additional taxation. 4. Under existing circumstances increased taxation is not advisable. Therefore, we do not believe it practicable at this time, to put such a system into perfect operation, but our efforts should be so directed as to hasten the times when we can have specilal conductors, whose duty it shall be to do all the institute work, including the preparation of outlines of methods, a regular course of study for our teachers, the gradations or classification of teachers according to attainments, experience, etc., and the assignment of definite class-room work. These special conductors should be individuals of m()delcharacter, high attainments, apt in teaching, not theories but wide-awake up-to-date, energetic industrious, competent, practical, sympathetis, Christian men and women, that may well be held up to the world as models after whose lines all persons of lofty aspirations can well afford to pattern.
HOW SHALL BOOKS BE SUPPLIED FOR OUR SCHOOLS.
BY HON. J. H. WHITCHARD. C. S. C., Terrell Co.
In any system of public 6chools, one of the most important subjects demanding intelligent consideration is the adoption of text-books and the method by which these books shall be supplied to the schools.
The long strides made in educational progress within

203
the past few years is indeed marvelous. It doubtless surpasses that of any other country in the history of the world. It is the more remarkable when we consider the fact that this is an age of cheapness. The demand among all classoo for cheapness, and even shoddiness, in all' products and manufactures, it seems, would have a greater influence on education. But it is lmrdly perceptible. Herein is the hope of our country, that our people demand the genuine article, ",all wool and a yard wide," when it comes to the education of their children. Should there ever be such a universal demand for cheapness and shoddiness in educational processoo as are demanded in !all other things, then the time will have come for mourning iri sackcloth and ashoo. France has had experience along this line. W'hile Prussia was diving to the greatest depths for the pearl, France was content in g.a,thering only the shells from the shore. The same may be said of Ohina and Japan. The education of the Japanese has enabled them to outstrip their mother country in all matters pertaining to civilizJation. We have only to read the history of these nations for the past few years to become fully_ convinced 'of the importance of the thorough education of the masses. With these facts before us we can predict the ultimate result of the present trouble with our own beloved country and her ignorant national enemy. There is no surer test of strength ,and power in a nation, in a State, county, or community than a good progressive system of schools. Ohoop and superficial education is the bane of any nation, State, county, or community. Our State has, in a large measure, repudiated this weak sentiment which unfmtunately; has received some recognition by many of our people, some, even in high authority, influenced, and honestly so, by the misleadinK cry of cheapness, cheap schools, cheap

204
books, -and is moving forward grandly in the national procession of thorough education.
There was, perhaps, never before such a demand on the part of the patrons as well as the school authorities for thorough and efficient teachers. The weak and indolent teachers who have been content for years to follow the procession at a distance, Illre now rapidly dropping out of the ranks, or as is the case with the more ambitious among them, are taking on renewed energy and better fitting themselves for their work.
With all this energy and progress along the line of teaching, is it surprising that there is such a move in that of text-books ~
The energy exerted and talent displayed in the revision of old and the writing of new texts are unprecedented. There is now no danger of making any serious mistake in the adoption of books for our counties. They are all good. And if we want the best we are only to contract with the publisher, who is the last to present his claim.
The American text-book is said t{) be the best in the world, and the greatest mistake we can make in my opinion, is retaining the same books in our schools too long. There should be a change just as often as public sentiment will permit. It is educative and the object of our school system is to educate.
Now as to the best method of supplying these books to the patrons, is a nut that is hard to crack. I have serious doubts about the wisdom of our recent state enactments. Educational processes should be left as free and untrammeled as possible. Nothing short of competition in trade will keep up a healthy state of existence along all l~nes of school processes. While it is a deplorable fact there are excessive rates of charges by parties handling school-books, it is to be found mostly in our counties where the volume

205
of business js not sufficiently large to demand that healthy competition that is so desirable. It is doubtless on this account that the lawmakers of our State have made provision for such counties to control the sale themselves.
These provisions are as follows: First. The board may buy the books direct from the publishers and furnish them at cost to the patrons. In this case the expense of handling must necessarily be paid out of the school fund. This is objectionable because there is no fund to spare for this purpose. Second. The books may be furnished as in the first case, but a sufficient advance above the cost charged to defray the expenS0 of handling. This is preferable. In counties where there is not sufficient work to support the commissioner, and he is necessarily compelled to resort to other business for support, this, it seems, is the plan to adopt.
More of his time IS engaged, and of course his better talent
utilized and yet it is not detracting from the schO'ol lund; and to prevent exhorbitant prices being charged, in no case should there be charges above the catalogue price of the publisher. This will enable many counties to secure better talent for commissioners, and have them devote more of their time to the school work. This law can be utilized in many counties to the advancement of the school system of the counties, by requiring the duties and work of the commissioner to be first in importance instead of secondary, as is the case now, and demanding teachers for the office instead of jack-leg lawyers and doctors who give their leisure time that may be spared from their profession to their school duties.
Third. In those counties that require the full time of the commissioner in his. school work, and the pay is sufficient to remunerate him for Ms services, the board has the privilege of contracting with local merchants at the lowest

206
bid, or if there is a bookstore they may contract with such a house at a reasonable advance above the cost.
In any case there should be cards distributed to all the schools on which the names and prices of all the books should be printed, together with those suggested by the State School Commissioner in the course of study for the teachers.

DEPARTMENT OF SUPERINTENDENCE.
The following communications from Oounty School Oommissioners, who were invited to submit any suggestions as to school legislation, in this department of the report, are respectfully presented for the special consideration of the members of the General Assembly.
APPLING.
:My Dear Sir:-In compliance with your request I re spectfully suggest that teachers of the Common Schools shall receive their salaries at the. expiration of each month.
2. That each county be allowed to x the duration of the school term within its limits. . 3. That County School Commissioners be paid monthly or annual 3alary; said salary to be based on the school population of their respective counties.
I am happy to announce that our progress, though slO\v, is sure.
CHAS. BANKS, O. S. C. A. C.
BAKER.
I recommend that the J.egislat1l1'e pass a law, that, in school districts where the patrons fail to build a ~uitable school house, the several Boards of Education be required to refuse to open a school in snch school district,and that
14 sse

210

the amount appropriated to said district be used to build

a suitable house.

"

I further recommend that temporary examinations be

abolished and not allowed except in cases of sickness of a

regular teacher at the time of thp, public examination.

J. J. GRANT~

O. S. O. Baker county.

BROOKS.
In reply to yours, asking me if I have 'anything to contribute to the "Department of County Superintendence" -any recommendations, etc., I beg to say, I would only emphasize the suggestions embodied in your excellent report of 1896.
I would suggest that in counties which are not under a local system, a board of education composed of at least one member from each militia district of the county, elected by the grand juries, be selected and that the operation and managements of all the schools, the selection of teach ers, be placed ,in their control, as it is under boards operated under local system. My experience is, more trouble, confusion and dissatisfaction and bad results generally, come, from the selection of teachers by trustees than from any other source. All this would be eliminated if selection wa", left to Board of Education.
S. S. BENNET, O. S. O. B. O.

BURKE.
Oomplying with your request of the 12th ,instant, I offer t,he following suggestions for the consideration of yourself and the General Assembly.

211
Additional legislation is necessary to render operative that portion of section 19 of the common school laws which relates to the building of school houses therein mentioned. Its final clause, "as may be hereafter provided," indicates clearly the defect in this important law; for no such provision appears in any subsequent legislative enactment. TbJis failure to prescribe the mode of procedure in levying-
and collecting taxes for building academies wI!!. explain
the slow progress, in this respect, through our rural dis-
tricts. 1 any Board of Education should attempt to col-
lect a tax for this purpose under the present defective law, that Board would be promptly enjoined. Let the provlsian be so devised as to prevent possible detriment to the cause either by any successful injunction or by any mistake in the matter of raising sufficient revenue. A section, general in its operation, should be added to section 19, embodying among others those provisions which have enabled towns to erect and equip their imposing and well-appointed academy buildings.
This suggested additional legislation should specify: 1. The per cent. limit of the tax levy; say not to exceed one-half of one per cent. 2. This tax, ad valorem, should be laid upon taxable property in that portion of a school sub-district which
alone will realize any d;ireet benefit from the outlay. A
radius of two and one-half miles from the selected school site would fairly indicate the boundaries of such portions of a sub-district.
3. It should specify whether the entire tax levy may be raised in one year or lin several years; and, further, what portion of it should be collected each year.
4. To meet emergencies, Boams of Education shouM have authority to ~ealize in advance, by loan, the full amount of the tax levy, by raising bonds or notes bearing

212
lawful interest, 7 per cent., which bonds or notes shall not be sold for amounts les.;; than their par or full value.
5. When, in the judgment of a County Board of Education the health; comfort, safety, and superior educat,ional advantages of pupils in any sub-district demand the ereetlion Df a proper school house, additional legislation shall make it mandatory upon said Board to provide the needed building in th~anner prescribed in a complete law.
G. It shall prescribe the time and manner of collecting any special school house tax.
The foregoing suggestions are submitted after car,oful study; amend and enlarge them as you may judge proper. 1: au must note that this suggested >additional legislation looks to the erection, not of temporury shelter, but of permanent srhool houses, which shall be the pride and ornament of each community.
J. H. ROBERTS, C. S. C. Burke Co., Ga.
CHATHA1I.
1, The Superintendent must know clearly the ends to be attained and the best means for attaining them. Right knowing is a necessary prerequisite to right-doing. The blind cannot lead the blind and long keep out of the ditch. Let him read educational books, attend teachers' meetings and institutes, and visit other sch0 01&. ,Vise men profit bv the experiences of others. Payne's School Supervis'ion, Wh1'te's School Management, and the Report of the Committee of Twelve will prove very helpful.
2. School Equipment is the most pressing educational need in Georgia to-day. ,Ve have 1mt few good schoolhouses, and but few school men who would know how to build one if they had the money. The State Board of Edu-

cation should be authorized to offer three or more prizes for the best plans for country school houses, costing from $300 to $2,000 each, and the accepted plans should be suitably published and distributed. The State by all meam; should own and control the SiChool houses, and every' consideration of economy and convenience demands that these buildings should be intelligently constructed. The betterment of the physical condition of our school houses should be carefully studied by superintendents and urged upon the people.
3. The Visitation of the School should have for its aim, (a) To examine the physical condition of the school with a view of increasing its comfort and convenience. (b) To observe the work of the teacher as to manner, method, and scope, and to suggest improvements. (c) To test the efficiency of the past teaching by examining the pupils. (d) To inquire into the daily program and the course of study with a view of correcting errors and suggesting improvements. (e) To encourage both teacher and pupils in their work. These visits should be made as often as practicable, and they should be of sufficient length to enable the superintendent to observe a sufficient number of typ~cal facts upon which to base safe conclusions. A short visit may be worse than no visit. Be sure to see the school for some time in its normal condition. The correction of a teacher's faults should never be made in the presence of the class. 4. The Ill,lprovement of the Teaching Force shou1d be directed by the. Superintendent. Every county should have a teachers' library furnished with the best books for 'teachers. A small annual fee from the teachers, the proceeds of entertainments, fines, and private donations, are the usual sources of revenue. One hundred dollars will buy most of the best books. Rules for taking out and re-

214
turning books should be formulated, amI teachers encouraged and directed in their reading. The annual institute if properly conducted, is a power for good in many ways. They should be intensely practical, and teachers gladly attend them with note-books in hand.
5. 'The Legislature should maintain a liberal policy towards her public schools. Everything good and great in national life depends upon the intelligence of the people. Intelligence, reliability and skill are the factors of success everywhere, whether it be upon the farm, in the machine shop, or upon a man-of-war. Ignorance, crime and costly social and political blunders are always closely associated. l~S an investment, it pays to educate the people. Georgia in the last ten years has taken a very decidedly forward step in matters educational. Let our watchword be onward.
OTIS ASHMOHE, O. S. C. Ohatham Co.
CLARKE.
I have no suggestions or recommendations to offer, but I should be exceedingly glad to hear suggestions lis to the best method of securing a uniform and regular attendance of pupils in our public schools. It is now impossible in many communities to induce the people to supplement a teacher's salary, and while refusing to do this they promise, in order to induce teachers to take a school, to guarantee him a certain number of pupilS, and upon this promise he opens school, gets his classes arranged to do the best work that he can, and after a few days the pupils begin to absent themselves from school for the most trivial causes and come at intervals just to suit convenience of parents, who utterly disregard the extra labor they impose on the teacher, besides reducing the average attendance upon which he

215
receives his pay. In this county we have adopted a rule w not allow any pupil to continue to attend school who is absent two days consecutively or as much as three days, during our school months, except for unavoidable hintlrance. Whether our Board would be sustained on an appeal from this rule, I do not know, but the present year it has wrought wonders in our county, in securing a re?:ular daily attendance. The result is that the teachers are encouraged, and can do more effe-ctive work and the ~hildren take more interest in the school.

CLAYTON.

Jonesboro, Ga., September, 1898.

In paying our teachers we use the per diem plan, as we

have tried the salary system and found it unjust in so many

instances. However, there are two f'auIts in the per diem

plan which we are trying to overcome. Dishonest reports

we try to obviate by furni~.hing registers. The temptation

of the teacher to laxity in discipline, in order to hold a full

school, we expect to overcome by continuing to pay the

teacher after the child has been taken out of school, pro-

\'ided the teacher can make a showing that the child was

at fault; and by refusing him admittance to any other

school.



\Ve allow the parent, or at least they take the privilege

of selecting the teacher, and as the teacher is partly at the

mercy of indulgent parents, we find a great many of our

schools deficient in discipline.

We have made great improvements in inethods of teach-


ing hy learning from institutes and increased professional literature.
In vi.siting the schools we vary the plans to suit the circumstances; sometimes \ve test each class on the lesson or a review; enrolling the na~ne of the pupil, in our honor hook, who shows the greatest merit, after letting the class nominate hy vote the one selected. Again the teacher has races, the commissioner selecting the lesson; the one making the hest per cent. being honored.
80metimes the Commissioner and teacher comment on the usual recitation, and we often review the school in a general way, and if there is any deficiency ill progress it i-; seen and felt so keenly by the teacher that he is obliged to either "move up" or "lnove out."
Again, we lecture the school on the principles of moral ethics in which we find the school deficient.
Most respectfully, P. F. DUFFY, C. S. C. Olayton county.

f
The Board of Education of Cobb county has adopted a Graded Course of Study for the country schools embracing a department of Manual Training.
In this movement the officials have the sympathy, cooperation and support of the teachers.
The public school term has been changed to beg~in the first :Monday in November and. close the last Friday in April. In order for this arrangement to work without complications in the reports to the department, the Reho01 year should be made to begin the first of July and end the 30th of June.

217
The Reading Oircle in connection with the school libraries which are being establishAd in our schools is anothm' feature which is doing good.
The cards sent you under separate cover will indicate their use.
Whenever a pupil reads two books prescribed in the course adopted by the Georgia Teachers' Association his name is furnished the superintendent who makes a record of the same, together with his age, grade and name of book read, fins out the ;card and sends to the teacher to be signed :I,l.nd delivered to the pupil.
It has been demonstrated that child~en can be ea~ily directed in this way to read good books.

than in the past.

In compliance with the within request will say, I think the public school term should be five months (100 days) and teachers should be paid a guaranteed salary.

EARLY.
The enclosed, cut from aNew York paper, I think worthy of a place in your annual report. It gives the idea. Improve our school buildings and gTounds, make them at least comfortable; and I favor ten to fifteen per cent. of our annual appropriation going that way.
T.F. JONES, O. S. O. Early county. "A really civilized community knows that only a small part of the educatioit which every child should receive can be given through text-books. The larger half must be given indirectly. It must be the education of influence. The personal influence of a teacher counts for more, in producing civi~ized citizens than the bare facts she imparts to her scholars. And the atmosphere of a school house is almost equally important. Indeed, its importance cannot be overestimated in a city like ours, where scores of thousands of children see nothing and hear nothing ontside of the school house walls which can civilize or refine them. "The pitiable destitution of the poor children of New York as regards all those influences wh~ch soften, refine, elevate, discipline and inspire young people more fortunately placed cannot be imagined by those who have not gone in and out among their streets and homes. The eager. ness with which they welcome any slightest scrap of beauty, any smallest thing which tells them of other parts of the world, or even of their own city, which reveals the existence of other kinds of people living amid pleasanter conditions, which opens their minds and inspires their ambition by interesting and pleasing their eyes-this can be gnessed only by those who have studied these children in their schools. In these schools, and only there, can we give them,

219
those influences which other children receive in their homes and from the environment of these homes.
"This means that the interiors-of our school houses should be made beautiful, and beautiful in an instructive way. They should be so attractive that every child must prefer them to the other places that it knows. They should be painted in cheerful colors, hung with good works of art carefull;iT selected for this special }Jurpose, and brightened with the plants 'and flowers in which all children delight, but which the poorer children of New York never see. This is needful, not simply that children who have few pleasures ~hould be pleased at school, but that children may be subjected to really civilizing, humanizing, refining and uplifting influences."
ECHOLS.
If the County School Commissioner were paid a salary rather than per diem, that officer would feel no delicacy in devoting as much time to the schools as circumstances demanded.
If the County School Commissioner could payoff the teachers monthly, he could (conscientiously) demand of them the best work.
If the County Board had money with which to build and furnish school houses, the money which we are already expending on the schools would do more good. If there was more money with which to pay the teachers ,better teaching could be employed.
If it were made the general law of the State that each county levy a tax with which to supplement the State fund. most counties could raise enough money to run the schools for nine months. As the law stands it will be many years before we can get 'Et great many counties to levy the tax.

220
If the schools could be run for nine months, teachers could better afford to prepare themselves to teach.
'V. A. HAM,
O. S. O. Echols Oounty.
FAYETTE.
In reply to your request to furnish suggestions. I have hut very few to make. 1. I earnestly urge the discontinuance of summer schools in the rural districts and recommend that the school year begin the first of November and contUnue until the first of May, making a term of si~ months in length. The above would include the best .timc of the year for the schools to be in session for two reasons: 1st. They are the months more suitable for study. 2d. There is less interference on account of farm work. The two summer months of July and August are entirely unsuieted in every way, of which you are 'aware. Besides, those two months ought to be devoted by the teacher to Institute work and recreation and rest. Every teacher in this county is in. favor of the above change, and a large number of the 6itizens are in favor of it also.
I also recommend that you urge in your report that Oounty School Oommissioners devote more time to the superintendence of the schools. It is, I beLieve, the c11stom to visit (and in some instances the Board of Education require it) from three to four schopls a o.ay. I have changed that and now spend at least half a day to each school during each term. I find that a good deal of good can be accomplished by staying a day sometimes in a school, and that no good at all can be accomplished by simply going the~e and staying an, hour. or two, and that is not what the law inte~ds ;shou.ld be the object in visiting schools.

221
In conclusion, I heartily endorse your new itemized statement blank.
And I don't think it would be anything amiss to ask the Lpgislature to pass a law requiring the County School Commissioner to forward to your office a sworn statement of amount paid to each teacher, within ten days after each pay-day. Your blank covers that, but it is three months later before you receive the next itemized statement, which contains amount paid each teacher the previous quarter; and to obtain also the amount paid the County School Commissioner and members of the Board of Education, and also other items.
I stand with you in all your plans with regard to the whole school question so far as I know them.

I herewitn send a paper on grading the common schools of Georgia.
I have applied this plan to ou?' county and it can be operated without any trouble. I have figured the plan of three teachers to every school in our Icounty, at 150 pupils to the school, and I find it will not take as many teachers as W2 now have, and will n,ot cost the county as much. This plan can be operated in this county with success.
PLAN Fon GRAD}:D ,YORK IN THE COMMON SCHOOLS OF GEORGIA.
By J. 1\f. Clement, County School CommJissioner, Fannin County, Georgia.
The legal school age being from six to etighteen, gives twelve years for school work in the State of Georgia. The common school ,york is naturally divided into three periods:

222

I. Primary work. II. Intermediate work. III. Advanced work.
Therefore, the common school work III Georg'ia is div,ided into three periods of four years' work each. Now dividing each of these periods into two parts of two years each, and calling each part respectively, Grade A, Grade TI, Grade C, Grade D, Grade E, and Grade F, we have six grades of two years each, as follmvs:

Now by taking the common school curriculum of any county in Georgia and dividing it into twelve graded parts corresponding to each respective year of school work, explicitly specifying what shall constitute the work of each year for all of the six grades, we can easily grade all of the common schools of Georgia. Having given the three periods of work, the grades into which they are divided, the number of years of each grade, and the exact amount of work for each year of the various. grades, in organiziull; any school, we can ascertain, by strict exam~nation, just what year of what grade any given pupil belongs. Having determined this, and having entered him in the proper grade, he should be required to remain in this grade until
its course has been thoroughly finished. *
There iB no reason why the common school curriculum of any county ~n Georgia may not be thus divided into six suitable grades and each of these grades be divided into two suitable divisions for the two years' work of each grade.
This plan can be fully and successfully operated by one teacher under the present circumstances of the common schools of Georgia, but, in my opinion, the Legislature of f}eorgia should enact a law reguiring the County Board of Education to sub-district each county in such a manner that ~h sub-district shall contain at least 150 pupils of school age, and to employ three teacheLs in every common school of Georgia, one for the Primary, one for the Intermediate,
*Under this plan we do not make the plan "Procrustean" but the pupil. We make the plan absolute and fit the pupil to the plan as his necessity requires. Neither do we "yoke together the hare and the tortoise," but everyone is in his right place under right circumstances. The beauty of the operation of this plan is that it separates the "hare and the tortoise," keeping each one on the ground best suited to its travel. The age of pupils, attendance, length of term, ability of pupils, etc., etc., have no dorninlatil:>I1 whllltevetr over the pllan,but every oonl3liderat:ion is subject to the plan.-J. M. C.

and one for the Advanced work. This can be done in the most thinly populated districts and not materially inconvenience anyone. Without gradation the common schools must continue to be a failure. Something must be done or the vast sum of money expended annually on the common schools of this COSlntry can never accomplish what it shol1ld do.

Our Legislature would jump on any railroad management that would put engineers on its roads who knew nothing about the working of an engine. It would not be safe
for the one running thc_engine, for tho,w he pulled, nor fm'
the property of the road. All 'intelligent people would protest against such management. Yet the same representatives will turn out boys and girls to run the race through life without any knowledge of the laws governing that wonderfnl machine-the human body. 'IVe may talk about the laws of health, and right and wrong, and of temperance, but until the boyar girl sees the reason, we talk to those who, having eyes see not, and having cars hear not. I have been unable to see any reason for not adding physiology to the Pllblic school course. This knowledge is good for us individually and collectively, morally, intellectually and physically. No place, do I see, 'where it will work harm, and I hope to see it added to the public school course by anI' next I~egislature.
Our teachers should have their money as soon as it is earned, and my representative has expressed himself in favor of monthly payments.

225
~ow,if we intend to prepare our children fully for the duties of life, "bookkeeping" should also be added, but upon no account should physiology be kept out.

One great sourceof annoyance we County School Commi'l"ioners have to contend with is County Line Schools and teachers of other counties drawing upon us for children of our county attending their schools. :Mr. Duggan, C. S. C. of Hancock, and :Mr. "V. T. Flint, of Taliaferro, eliminated that annoyance in thi" way, at least as far as it relate" to salary schools. I pay the entire salaries of my own teachers and they the same. At the end of the year we make out our own accounts against each other and strikr~ the difference, and then pay that difference to whichever county it is due. It saves a va"t amount of labor and worry and is much more satisfactory to all concerned.

the pro rata plan should not be permitted. The school

term should not exceed six months. When arrangemepts

are pemected to conduct schools for ten or twelve months

ihi6 arrangement cannot be put into practical execution

Tor the reason that eighty per cent. of the schools cannot

be operated for more than six months, and when this is

done, the children of the county are subjected to a great injusmce, since a few are favored at the expense of ma~y.

Dorminey's Mill, Ga.
Please do not entertain the idea for a moment that the intention of this communication is to antagonize the various State universities and colleges, but I do think that the attention of the Georgia legislature should be called to the fact that while the different higher institutions need appropriations, how much more important is it to let the greater part of their appropriations go into the ~ral districts, and thereby reach the masses of the poor children whose parents can never hope to give them more than a common school education, and not that, unless aided by the State funds.
As an illustration: Irwin county this year receives for four thousand children a little more than $5,000, or about $6.000, less the cost of administration, or about $1.25 for each child in the county or a little less than twenty cents per month for fa term of six and one-half months.
I think it far better, if the appropriations for the counties are going to remain the same, to decreas~ the length of the term, or in other words, if we are going to have

227
public schools, have them of such length that the publiC' funds will pay in full for the term, let it be long or short.
I hope, however, to live to see the time that the good citizens of this grand old State of ours will be awakened to the necessity of education; that we people who live in the rural districts will be enabled to send our children to school nine months in the year under the tutorism of the best talent of the normal school. Then, and not until then, will the very best citizens remain on the farm and discontinue to move to the already crowded cities, where the1'8 are so many more inducements to lead astray the rising generation, the hope of this sunny Southland of ours.
Very truly yOUl'S, :M. DIOKSON,

JACKSON.
Thanking you for the uniform courtesy shown me as the representative of education in J achon county, and for the able and ready assistance which you have constantly given to the cause throughout the State, I gladly furnish you with the following briefly stated iteml:' for publication in your forthcoming annual report.
I. Superintendence. All the schools are visited onE: time during the school year, and, when possible, from two to three times.
1st. My first purpose is to secure good school houses, amI have them supplied with good seats and other school supplies of pl'ime necessity. Aided by a generous public spirit we have succeeded to the extent of about tinee-fourths of our schools, with an upward tendency in the other fourth.
2d. To elevate the stand,ard of teaching by appealing to

22H

personal pride, the general good, and by urging the neces-

sity of a broad acquaintance with the educational litera-

ture of the age.

3d. To have the hearty co-operation of the teachers by

justly grading examination papers, by being absolutely

correct and prompt an paying all money due; by extending

t he same courtesy to all of whatever grade; by making a

supreme effort to keep abreast with the educational move-

ments of tho times, and to be familiar with and always

ready to discharge all official duties.

-

4th. The work expected of the schools is carefully out-

lined, and the methods deemed necessary to success are

placed before each school.

II. School Law. The school laws of Georgia being

already very g'ood, there is little to be said, except entering

a plea for more money, longer terms, and a higher grade

of teaching. I, however, offer the following:

1. The long land almost unmeaning term of "County

School Comrni8,sione1''' should be changed to Superintend-

ent or Director. 2. The C~unty School Commissioner should not payout

the school fund. His other duties are enough for one man

c1m-ing the time allowed.

3. The counties should be compelled to furnish the

County School Commissioner with a well-appointed office.

4. The law should fix the days for examinations, two

in each year, allowing special examinations for those only

who can furnish a physician's certificate of physical ina-

bility.

5. The school term should 'continue no longer than there

is a school fund to pay foe ,it. Supplementary payment is

a failure anc1 a stumbling block in the way of success.

G. Except in the case of chartered schools having legal

boards of trmtees, no public schools should be established

until the house and grounds are deeded to t.he Oounty Board of Education.
7. A commission composed of one able educator from each congressional district should be established to formulate a plan for grading all the public schools in the State.
8. Institute ,york should be extended to four weekstwo in :May and two in Octoher. ":\ on-attendance for allY other than Providential cause, should strike the teacher's name from the roll.
9. County Boards should be allowed two years in whi('.h to wholly abolish what is called "County Line Schools."

JEFFERSON.

In addition to the usual statistiC'al report required by the la'v, I herewith submit a brief outline of our school work, condition and prqspects for the future, to wit:

SCHOOL HOUSES.

At the very head of those agencies essential to good

schools, I place good school houses.

Self-activity is as absolutely necessary in the patron as

in the pupil. No more can a good recitation be had minu,:

the pupil's interest, than can a commuI1lity give proper sup-

port to a school in the building up of which they have taken

no part nor made any sacrifice. I have never known a

good house built, that a better teacher was not demanded,

if needed. A new dress calls for a new hat.

Last year our people paid out for buildings and repairs

about $5,000, equal to about one-half of amount received

from the State in 1897. This year the prospect is bright

,

for an expenditure of at least $10,000, equal to about two-

230
thirds of the appropriation for 1898. This ,is outside of our county town, Louisville, and practically for country schools. Two dollars per capita of school population for building in one year, and that in the country, shows that there is life in the people.
In several new buildings I have succeeded in having the windows so arranged that all the light will come from the left and rear, principally from the left side, and from as high as possible, the blinds or shades to be used on the inside.
Believing it to be not clearly authorized by the law, ,,~rong in policy, difficult of satisfactory administration and that the public fund, created for the payment of teachers, is already too small for adequate salaries to good teachers, even for the present short school year, we have never used any part of the public fund in building school houses.
CENTRAL SCHOOLS.
While small schools are indispensable in sparsely settled communities, the policy of our Board of Education is to build up strong schools in various parts of the county, in order that better teachers might be employed, better grading and classification secured, and that every bright, ambitious boy and girl should be in reach of a first-class school without boarding away from home. This is our aim.
SCHOOL VISITS.
Our teachers need help and encouragement more than criticism. The teacher should be made to feel, not simply to be told, that his office is one of importance and dignity, but if school officers or parents fail to hold the work or even the person of the teacher in the highest esteem, how can children be expected to do it? A child that doesn't know one figure from another knows precisely how much his

231
teacher weighs in the minds of his parents. I visit our schools just as often as possible.
VISITS TO PATRONS.
People in genera] know very little about school work. They rarely read the school laws or keep posted as to what is being said and done about schools, either at home or abroad. Their interest seems to center about their share of the public fund and the ~ost of school books-one always too little and the other too large.
. The very best work I have been able to do at all, has been done among the people in explaining the work of the schools, the plans of the Board, the amount and distribu tion of the funds and exhorting them to build better house.;; and select better teachers.
'Ve can best reooh the "rising generation," through the "raising generation." The schools advance as the interest of the people is increased. Public interest and public schools are inseparable.
INST'ITUTES AND ASSOCIATIONS.
There is plainly manifest everywhere, a real, live interest and purpose on the part of our teacher~ for improvement. The institutes have done good, the teachers' associations, educational journals and the "Manual of Methods" sent out from your office have all furnished efficient and timely aid to our teachers.
PEDAGOGICAL LIBRARY.
'Ve have the nucleus of a library for teachers, which we hope to enlarge by contributions from the teachers and friends of education. The Teachers' Association, which meets in Louisville, will facilitate the circulation of this literature.

232
SCHOOL BOOKS.
,..~~
Our schools are using the prescribed text-books with practical unanimity, but the bare mention of a change suffices to mise a howl of opposition. It is strange that some who ought to know better are ever ready to warn and arouse the people against the great danger they are in, of being robbed by somebody who handles school booles. Perhapfi the prices of other things are too high. Perhaps somebody makes a profit on books. Profits are made on other things, e. g., school children are swindled out of ten times as much on the shoes they wear as on the school books. Somebody is responsible for having produced on the minds of hundreds of our people the impression that everybody, frOI~ the Governor down to the poor County School Commissioner, is in collusion with the booksellers for the purpose of swindling the people. Books are as cheap ,as I ever knew them, and better too, by :Dar.
My "Book Report" 'is not before me, but we have, in round numbers, $3,000 \vorth of books in our schools, or about $1.00 per capita of school enrollment. These books are new and this expense should be very light for severa] years. A full set of our books, including two books on spelling, five on reading, three on grammar and language, two on U. S. history, hvo on geography, and three on arithmetic, seventeen volumes in all, are sold for $8, or $1 per year for eight years. Where there are several children in same family, these will answer for at least two children, and if there is only one in the family, the books can be disposed of with the dealer in second-hand books, reducing necessary cost to fifty cents, or less, per year. Pupils, parents and perhaps teachers pay too little attent'ion to the preservation of school books.

233
EMPLOYMENT OF TEACHER.S.
Our teachers are employed on the salary plan. vVhen fi contract is made the teacher knows exactly what he wiE get. vVe have not scaled a teacher's contract since I have been in office. I recommend this plan to an.
SCHOOL TERMS.
vVe run our pubEc school six and one-half months, divided into two terms, to wit: The Spring term of one hundred days, begins on first ~Ionday in January. The }'an term of thirty days, begins on first Monday ,in N ovembel'. Most schools, and all large ones, supplement both these terms by short pay terms.
ADDITIONAL LEGISLATION.
The teacher is subjected to a written examinationbound by the terms of a written contract-his work examined and approved by officers o the State-his work is indispensable to the State-his pay smaller than that of any othet, employee of the State, when the character of ,vork is considered, and yet he is the only one who does not receive prompt payment.
This failure of the State to discharge a plain duty makes the poor teacher the easy prey of the money shark. It i, (L shame.
Give us monthly payments for the teachers. Very truly,
H. E. SMITH, O. S. O. J effel'Qon (>()lmtv.

LAURENS.
"The Department of Oounty Superintendents," which you propose to annex to your annual report, will no doubt meet the wants of the general public in answer to the numerous inquiries which are constantly being made as to what is being done and what is proposed to be done by the Board in the several counties.
Quite a number of questions suggest themselves to my mind.
First. To require an examination by the teachers on the questions prepared by the State School Commissioner (on the legal branches being taught) by the advanced pupils in the schools; supplying each applicant with a statement by the teacher of the number of points made by him so as to guide the County Commissioner in receiving or rejecting the application for examination.
Second. Some u;niform system of text-books so that children moving from one county to another would be saved the expense and annoyance of a change of books.
Third. Uniformity of pay throughout the State for teachers; the pay being based on grade of license. I think it will give far m?re satisfaction to secure this by legislative enactment.
Fourth. The time has come for normal work in every countY; and a certificate of scholarship either from established county normal schools, or from the State, should be required to qualify one to teach.
Physiology should be added to the branches upon which teachers are examined.
:Fifth. Physiology and Hygiene should be made a systematic branch of study in the public schools, and included in the legal branches in the examination for license.

235
Sixth. There should be but two grades of lieense. One limited to 75 points for two years, the other for three years.
Seventh. Authority should be given Board to appropriate a eertain per cent. of the public school fund to build, furnish and equip schoolhouses whenever patrons have paid in their proportionate share.
The school fund shall be distributed pro rata among the sehools and districts so that any part apportioned to other purposes than payment of teachers should be made to appear for the benefit of the particular district in which the improvements are made.
A number of other questions suggest themselves, but these can be better discussed in the annual convention of the County School Commissioners.
Very respectfully, W. S. RAMSEY, C. S. C. Laurens, county.
LINCOLN.
Replying to your circular of August 12th, I will stato briefly two amendments that in my opinion should be tacked on to our school laws. 1st. It should be obligatory on the patrons of schools or their trustees to make contractll with their teachers. 2d. It should be definitely settled by our school laws as to whether 'any of the school funds should be used for building school houses or buying school furniture. Mr. Simpson, of Wilkes, asserts that our school laws give no authority to our school Board to use money for building purposes although much money from the school fund of Wilkes is used in that way. Our county

has neyer used a cent to build school houses, .yet w~ haYA as good school houses as any adjoining county. Commiflsioner \Vooding, of Banks, gave a yery able paper on thiR matter in Macon. I agree with him. In the rural connties there is too much apathy in regard to educational matters, and any legislation that can be brought to bear that will cause a reformation will be an improvement to our educa tional system. Something oug'ht to be done.
N. A. CRAWFORD, C. S. C. Lincoln Co.
P. S.-There has been a marked improvement in educa-
tion since your advent as School Commissioner.
LOWNDES.
Some of the counties required six months as the public tenns and others six and one-half months. I tl{ink it should not be longer than five, as the teachers are poorly pa'id and l?y teaching fiye months at least some of them could go to another county and tea,ch another school, thereby finding employment for ten months. I think it would be well to change the ages for entering and leaving the public schools to from eight to twenty years instead of from six to eighteen.. Afl it now is the children from six to eight do not learn much; but from eight to twelve they will learn as much as they would in any three years earlier. I think it would keep more of t1:e boys on the farm by allowing them to attend the schools from eight to twenty than will stay if the time remains as it is, thereby lessening the chanCES for them to form bad habits.
J. H. ZANT, C. S. O. Lowndes Co.
P.S.-Our schools continue six and one-half months.

Your letter of 12th inst. to hand and the contents noted. There is nothing I can well suggest for the improvement in educational matters, as you have covered the whole subject in your several communications to the County School Oommissioners as well as in your publications to the public. "\Ve are sadly in need of better teachers, especially among the negroes. Any means by which they could enjoy more Normal instruction would be of great benefit. ",Vhat a relief it would be if our teachers could be paid monthly! You have already dwelt upon that subject.

I don't know that I have any special recommendation to submit to the Ioegislature, with reference to our public school system. I feel that it is deficient in some respects, but in view of circumstances do not feel prepared to suggest changes that possibly might improve system.

238
On the first Tuesday in January our Board of Education meets and arranges for the school on salary plan for the ensuing year, basing the amount on average attendance of preceding year; also, having reference to rank of teacher, and supplementing contracts when necessary to make schools as nearly equal by rank and increased attendance. I am required to visit schools from one to three times if necessary during the term. Sometimes I take part in recitation; oft~ner I very quietly observe the management of the teacher, in conducting the various recitations, and the general conduct of the school. I most always spend at least half the day with the school, privately suggesting to teacher such improvement of plans as I feel will be helpful to teacher and pupils. When about to leave the school I commend, in a short talk to pupils, their good behavior, their nice recitations, impressing their minds with the fact of the interest being taken in them, that I may and will come again, and when with them again will note any improvement or advance step made by thl:~ respective pupils This I find very encouraging to the girls and boys, who seem.glad for me to come. Trusting this to be sufficient, etc., I am,

As Uncle Simon Peter Richardson would say, "I lop in a scrap of my experience," which may be helpful to some brother commissioner.
In the northern section of Newton county there are four schools within a radius of four miles, and in the southern section there are eleven within a radius of six miles. Last year the central school of each group was selected as the place where all should assemble, on the thirtieth of July and the twenty-seventh of August respectively to engage in a competitive "Spelling Bee" and elocution contest. Some of the best men of the State were notified to be present and address the people. The occasions were pleasant and profitable.
As an immediate result and before the meeting the central "chool of the eleventh was painted. As an after result this same school had added a room, another has also a room added, and a third has been ceiled. The central school of the group of four has torn down the old house and built a new one. The attendance in this school has been increased to such an extent as to require an extra teacher. This year we met on the 30th of July and the 19th of Augus-t. Hon. R. J. Guinn was with us at our meeting and donated to one of the schools twenty-nine books with which to start a school library. Yourself and lIon. L. F. Livingston were with us at the other meeting. These two meetings were helpful very materially in building two new houses. N ext year I propose to hold three meetings, taking in all the schools in the county. The competitive work for the pupils will be the geography of the Southern States.

NDthing has been more helpful to my school than these holiday picnic occasions.

Our schools are moving on smoothly lYe adopt the salary system in the payment of teachers, and we fiind it gives general satisfaction. \Ve pay all we agree to pay, for the simple reason that we agree to pay only what we have to pay. As to a recommendation for any change of the present school law we have to say that we are heartily in favor of the monthly payment of teachers' salaries, and in order to accomplish this I suggest the outlines of a law which could be perfected and passed by the coming Legislature.
1. Let there be no public free schools from the 1st of June, 1899, until the 1st of September, 1899.
2. Let the school year extend from 1st of September until the 31st of August; we will then have the money to pay said salaries.
3. As each county has its annual appropriation made, let the school fund of that county be deposited to the credit of that c01mty, arranging so that commissioners can check on same for the payment of monthly salaries, and require the O. S. C.'s to make monthly reports to Board of Education, and quarterly reports to the State School Cimmissioner of all moneys received and paid out by them. This together with the annual reports made to the grand juries will secure the propel' disbursement of the fund by the various comnnsslOners. Of course this law will apply only to counties which have no local system of their own.

the more you study the matter the more practicable it will

seem.

PUTNAM.
In response to your request in letter of 12th instant, I proceed to give you a brief account of our operations in school matters the last few months, with plans for the future, etc.
In accordance with the plan mapped out by the County School Oommissioner, our board On last January decided to have rural public schools gmded, as far as is praeticable for country schools. To this end the time of t.he Oounty School Commissioner was employed, and he was instructed to proceed.
There is a great deal that might be said touching our past operations that vitally concerns our present condition as a means to an end, such, for instance, as the consolidation of country schools, t,he holding of frequent and enthusiastic mass meetings throughout the county, the employment of the best teachers our money would procure, the magnifying of the cause of education, and such like things, but time and space will not permit. These and other schemes helped to pave the way to better schools.
A great portion of the Commissioner's time for the last few months has been devoted to ascertaining accurately the true condition of the schools at the time of his visits, as to gradation and classification. This was found very good in a few instances, fair in many, and poor in some. The condition was more gratifying than was anticipated, owing, no. doubt, to the excellent gl'ade of teachers we have.
16 sse

242
When a school with an excess of classes was found, all operations were stopped until a conference could be had with the teacher, the matter thoroughly investigated, and the trouble corrected. This was done by consolidating classes and rearranging them; by having two chsses in the same or kindred branches (like two in arithmetic, or one in arithmetic and one in algebra, or two in history) to occupy 1:lnly one period; or by abolishing some side studies that had probably been injected into the course to please the fancy of teacher, pa'rent or pupil, etc. Thus, without buying scarcely a single new book, against which, by the way, the people so much like to kick, and without producing any friction ,,"orth mentioning, the schools have been placed on a fairly good workable basis.
When our graded system goes into effect this fall, as laid down in the course of study, a copy of which has been sent you, and the newly adopted books are introduced, the classification "'ill receive special attention and will be perfected as far as practicable. The results accomplished so far have exceeded our anticipations and we look for much good yet to follow. The supervision of our schools, however, has been unremitting, without which, it has been remarked, the above results could never have been accompli~hed.
Be this as it may, our country schools, it is believed (and this is said without any feeling of egotism), are gro'Vving in efficiency, and will compare favorably with any. The schools will all open on the fourth Monday in October of each year, and, with the exception of two weeks at Christmas, will run until the third Friday in May, thus giving us a public session of 140 days or seven months. Those schools that are operated nine months during the year (and this includes all the white schools but four) can select from the remaining fin months any two most convenient for each dis trict. UncleI' the nine months term it will require eight

243
years to complete the common school course, and including -the high school course, which prepares a pupil for the Freshman class, ten years are required. In the common school it child must satisfactorily complete the work of each grade before a certificate of promotion is given him, and at the sati~f'actorycompletion of the entire common school course, a diploma is issued him.
\Ye not only have a uniform course of study adopted by the board of education as required by law for the common schools, but the teachers have armnged and adopted for use in the county a uniform course for the high schools. This, you see, precludes the frequent and expensive changes in this class of books with every change of teacher. Not only :so, but the Board of Education has arranged to have all the 'text books sold to the children at absolute cost.
In addition to all this we are preparing a list of needs and the cost of repairs of all the school, with a view of making them comfortable during the winter months.
RECOMMENDATIONS.
1. I would recommend that the I"egislature pass a bill -authorizing Boards of Education to employ county school commissioners at a salary sufficient to demand their time, due allowance being made for large and small counties.
2. That the ternu< "State School Commissioner" and "County School Commissioner" be abolished, and there be substituted therefore the terms "State Superintendent of Education" and "County School Superintendent."
3. That the next Legislature by some measure arrange for the monthly payment of teachers, or at least for full .quarterly payments.
Hoping this will answer your purpose, I am, Yours very truly, ~L B. DENNIS, O. S. C, Putnam Co.

There should be in exery count a "secondary sr1100/" with at least four first-rate teachers.
There is not a college or university in the State "which has not suffered, and still suffers, by reason of having, in some way, a preparatory department. The preparatory boy is always demoralized by the government of the college man. The college man resents the association with bo;o..,. under the same rule.
Our school law makes the "school year coincident with the calendar year." The reasons why this should not be so are so patent that it is unnecessary to mention them.
The only qualification for a member of school board is that he should be a free-holder. The absurdity of this is. so glaring that remarks are not in order.
W. S. DUDLEY, C. S.C. Handolph Co.
SCHLEY.
In reply to your letter of the 12th Lnst., I have but few suggestions to make to our I.egislature, as I havc just spent two sessions as a member of that honorable body, and failed to have enacted into law some of the things I would now han') corrected.
,Vith due respect for every County School Commissioncl' in the State, I am fully impressed that many of the unsatisfactory results in our system are due to thc want of bettel' superintendence. .1"- County School Commissioner is virtually, and should be made so by law, a County School Slipen'lItendent. His duties and his qualifi<:ations should be as nearly identical as possible with those of our city ancL

245
county superintendents. The school can be no better than the teacher, nor can this system be better than its supervisor. X 0 solicitor of a judicial circuit, whose only qualification is that he is an A. :YI. graduate has yet been elected. The bookkeeper has not gone from the counting house a well equipped farm manager; nor has the lawyer, on account of his legal learning, been made a city physician. It seems the analogy is clear. Give us Oounty School Superintendents able to do the work devolving upon them. The work of the Commissioners should be made uniform, and the pay of these officers uniform. Under the present law, about all fhe work one Oommissioner does is to perform the clerical duties of his office, while another assurnes and does the work of a Superintendent.
A course' of study should be adopted for the State, and required by law to be enforced in every county where '1 course has not already, or may hereafter be adopted by the County Board, to be approved by the State School Oommissioner. The argument is so strong in favor of a course of study, that all who are the most familiar with the working of the system are prepared to say but little progress can be made till one is adopted.
I believe the annual report of the State School Oommissioner ,vill show that of all the children who enter the public schools, their average attendance will not show more than fifty to sixty per cent. of the full time. A very large number of the children who enter the schools average from one to three days per week throughout the term. This irregularity greatly embarrasses the work of the teacher and result.s in but little good to the pupil. The only remedy seems to be to enact a law to require teachers to suspend pupils for 1'TTegular attendance, not Providential.

SPALDING.
In my humble opinion, there is no department of school work connected With the public school system of our State more important than that assigned to the Oounty School Oommissioners in their specific capacity as visiting school superintendents. "As. is the teacher, so is the school." As is the Oounty School Oommissioners, so is the practical efficiency of the public schools in each county of the State.
All teachers and all schools-good, bad and indifferent -need personal supervision. The best teachers, conscientious in the discharge of duty, and conscious of their success, are e~ceedingly anxious for the commissioner "to come around;" inferior and negligent teachers should be made to feel the uplifting, constraining and compulsory influence of robust superintendence.
In the commissioner's Vlisits to the schools, he must insist on results. He should satisfy h1imself that the children in each school are making satisfactory progress in their studies. He should ascertain for himself the actual advancement of the pupils in each school in the county. He should find out how many of the pupils can read and write and who cannot read and write, and should learn the cause of their inability to read and write. He should make such memoranda during each visit as will afford satisfactory data for comparison for each subsequent visitation of the school. The daily routine of exercises should be carefully examined with the view to correcting errors in course of study, classification of pupils, number of lessons recited, or to find out whether any pupils are being neglected or any proper work omitted.
1 the Oounty School Oommissioners of this State were to visit their school~ sufficiently often, and in the way suggested, there would be better work done in our rural -ele-

247
mentary schools by both teachers and pupils, and at the time of our school census there would be hardly enough illiteracy in Georgia to report.

TALBOT.
There is no enterprise that will affect communities more favorably than the building of convenient and comfortable school houses, While reflecting the intelligence and progress of a people, they subserve the 'more important end of contributing to the physical comfort of school children, and appreciably to the efficiency of the teaching service. In orde~that the pupil may meet the reasonable demands of the school room, the conditions under which the dutief! of the daily program are discharged should be :6avorable. The room should be well lighted ; properr ventilations should be secured, while the temperature in the winter' months should be made comfortable by the use of good heaters. In order that these conditions shall prevail, the houses should be so arranged or constructed as to afford the greatest possible physical comfort, with the necessary auxiJiarie1s of proper seating, desk room and blackboard surface.
Every country school building in the State should be framed, of good style and appearance, painted throughout, the interior with such shades as to harmonize the lighting. The outlying grounds should be planted in shade trees, where the natural growth does not obtain; there should be some effort at walks, and beds for flowers, etc. The school grounds and building should be kept in perfect order by the voluntary service of the. pupils, and there should be It friendly co-operation among the pupils for the accomplish-

248
ment of these desirable ends. School houses should be repaired and improved when needed, while proper disciplino in the schools will suggest the necessity of Rreserving the 'buildings, and of requiring pupils to pay for any injury to the property unwittingly committed by them.
If the school houses were the property of the Boards of Education, these requirements could then more easily be enforced. In the majority of cases where the property has not passed under the control of the Boards, the latter must depend for compliance with the foregoing regulations upon the public spirit and educational enterprise of the people. The County School Commissioner can do much to stimulate this spirit and to create a friendly co-operation in all public school enterprises.
O. D. GORMAN, C. S. C. Talbot Co.
TATTNAL.
In reply to yours of the 12th ult., will iSay that the puh lie school term should be entirely free. When patrons have to supplement a contract, making the school both public and private, and having three parties to the contractBoard, patrons and teacher-often comes confusion by having too many bosses.
The country teachers should by all means be paid monthly. The people can't see why legislation has been so greatly in the interest of schools under local systems.
A vast amount of the school fund is annually thrown away, so far as the children are concerned, by hiring teachers to teach in poorly veniJilated, poorly lighted and otherwise uncomfortable houses, without enough comfortable seats and desks and plenty of blackboard.

249
The State should at least appropriate fifty dollars per annum for holding an annual Institute in each county for two weeks. So far as I have observed, combined Institutes do not benefit as many teachers as one in each county does. Only a very few teachers from counties other than the one in which the combined Institutes held attended.
Observation teaches me that the public school system is making a greater number of preachers, lawyers and doctors than professional teachers. This is done by employing students of those professions as public school teachers, thereby enabling them to pursue their medical, legal an~ theological studies.
JOHN HUGHEY, O. S. O. Tattnal Co.
TERRELL.
In replying to yours of recent date, I will show the operation of the long-term schools and the advantages derived from them in this county.
Three years ago we had only three or four schools that were in operation as long as nine months of the year. My board proposed to make "long-term" contracts and pay five dollars per month more for the time of the public term, to any school that would agree to employ the teacher for a term of nine months, having it understood that the child should have the benefit of the law governing the "longterm" school, as found on back of all the contract blanks issued from your office. The gratifying result is that a majority of our schools are in operation for nine months,_and since the public term has been extended to six and a haH months I hope to soon have every district in the county operating a nine months school. Each school should be

250
paid more that observes the ''long-term'' clause. It is but just and equitable. Then it encourages the patrons togrea'ter effort.
J. H. WHITOHARD, C. S. C. Terrell Co.
TROUP.
You ask for a short .communication of my views of County Superintendence. I know of no improvement on a strict following of the present law. I have often been impressed with the futile effort of the Legislature to renderour schools and teachers efficient by a system of red tape. vVhen we can pay sufficient salaJlies to command talent wewill secure it. While we can only pay poor salaries, wecannot command talent that finds better pay in other lineS' of business.
O. A. BULL, O. S. C.Troup Co.
WASHINGTON.
Of the condition and progress of the schools of our county during the past school year,I am proud to say that more satisfactory work and improvement could not have been anticipated. Our teachers are working with an enthusiasm never before exeprienced in this county. The time and study spent in the investigation of school interestsby our county board shows how thoroughly in earnest they are to contribute all they can to advance the clt1'lse of education.

25]
In organizing the schools for the coming year, more than ten times as much in supplemental salaries has been SUbT scribed by patrons of the country schools as was paid three years ago. With few exceptions we have a splendid lot, of school buildings, more than twenty-five thousand dol-lars having been expended within the last three years in improved scho'ol property. These 'are but two of the many proofs of our advancement along educational lines.
Our county board recommends that, should a change be made in the present method of paying teachers, instead' of monthly payments, which would very materially increase the work of the county commissioner and the' board, that two payments annually be made. Thus instead of twelve monthly payments, one be made at the end' of the sixty-five days taught and the remainder of the salary when the term is completed. As ehe time no,vfixed for the public term could be covered in six calendar' months, the present manner and time of making statementsto the 8tate Commissioner need not be changed. They further recommend that the law be so amended that the' commissioner may be employed on a fixed salary, not to' exceed a reasonruble per cent. of the apportionment made to the seveJ:1al counties, and that "citizens of the State" be' eligible to the office instead of "citizens of the county" asnoW required.
It is the earnest desire of our Board, as well as our most' progressive teachers, that the present law for granting State licenses be repealed, and that the privilege of teaching, without further examination, by graduates of some of the colleges of the state be revoked. This should include every school so favored except the State Normal at Athens..
The annual combined institutes have done much for our teachers, and the annual conventions of board members and:

252
. commissioners have been equally as beneficial to our educa-tional interests.
A requirement for local taxation to supplement the .amount appropriated by the State would be equitable and truly beneficial.
Very truly yours, JOHN N. ROGERS,

.The questions that especially concern the public school :interest of vVayne county are: 'First, I~ength of the public school term. Some districts will be very uncertain about having a school if the length of the term is increased to SL'C or seven months, unless the appropriation is increased. Vile will petition for permission for a five months term 'with the present appropriation. Second, Monthly pay-ments of teachers. We trust yon can get these measures passed by the General Assembly.
'Ithinkthe length of the term ought to be left optional 'with the county board, the General Assembly fixing the term at not less than one hundred days and as much longer :as funds will warrant.
J. R. BENNETT, C. S. C. Wayne county.
WHITFIELD.
An .earnest desire to see the common school system :brought illp to an improved condition, has stimulated

253
me to brillg to your attention the following brief sug-' gestions and resolutions. Whether little or much good' will be the result remains to be seen.
While the people of this county are more deeply interested and better satjsfied with the school system than in former days (which has resulted in a measure from closeattention, constant, faithful and diligent isuperviuion of theschools), yet there remains much room for improvement.
Therefore, I recommend that the County Boards of Education be allowed the exercise of greater local authority (under the law) in school operations in their respective counties, especially as to fixing the length of the school' term of the different school districts, so graduated by a scale, varying in length of term dependent upon the schoo! population, so that the maximum length of term of the stronger populated districts shall not exceed an length six (6) months, and that weaker districts with a school term not less than four (4) months in each year, suppOlted hythe State, and that such legislation he had which shaH authorize the citizens of their respective districts to asses" and levy a tax upon their values to supplement the State fund, for the purpose of the betterment an extension of' their school term.
I further recommend that the common school year begin in July instead of January and close with the followin?, June, and that the General Assembly provide a sufficient fund independent of the present fund, for the support of a forty (40) Or fifty (50) days term, in order to span or bridge over the period between January and July, of 1899. And furthermore recommend that, should such change of the school year be made, the teaohers and others having legal claims against the school fund of the State, be pai<r monthly, monthly payments beginning at snch time as-

254
~:the treasury may be found sufficiently able to meet the .demand without horrowing money for said purpose.
