His Excellency, Hon. A. D. Candler: My DEAR SIR :-1 have the honor to submit herewith
the 28th annual report required by law from the Department of Education. I trust Your Excellency may approve the suggestions to the legislature herein contained.
Yours \;ery sincerely, G. R. GLENK,
State School Commissioner.

THE TWENTY-EIGHTH ANNUAL REPORT
FROM THE
DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION.
TO THE
GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE STATE OF GEORGIA.
GEl\TLEMEK :-Permit me to place at the bead of this report all extract from a resolution adopted by the General Assembly of Georgia, December 22, 183] :
" Your commi ttee feel warranted in considering the subject of education the noblest and most important that can en gage tbe attention of the lawgiver. It lies, in truth, at the basis of the whole social system. It affects not only the individual happiness, the character and the usefulness of those who are its objects, but it exerts a most powerful and irresistible influence upon the governmen t, the laws and the liberties of communities. No nation, when the majority of the people is well educated, can remain enslaved; no nation, when the great mass is ignorant, can retain its freedom. In proportiou to the general intelligence will be the force, the wealth and the influence of the State; and the State will be respected in the exact ratio of the instructed talent it can bring into its negotiations.' ,

6
This ."ex~ract expresses the sentiment of our fat.hers in regard to' the educatiou of the children. It was good doctrine seventy years ago. Illustrated and exemplified by the experience of the world, it must be considered sound doctrine to-day. If the" Fathers of that elder day" regarded the" subject of education the noblest and most important that could engage the attention of the lawgiver," . surely the Fathers of this present day. assembled to represent the people of a great commonwealth will not fail to consider intelligently and wisely the question that is still the" noblest and most important," viz.: the education of the children. If the intelligence of the masses and how to secure it was an important matter seventy years ago in a Georgia legislature, the intelligence of the masses and how to secure it and maintain it is still the most vital question of the present hour.
I wish I knew the name of the Georgian who framed the resolution printed above. The record does not show who was the author, but after all that does not matter. The resolution would make a good plank to-day in. a demccratic platform. If the present legislature will put its teaching and its meaning into law that can be enforced, it will outrank any legislature that has ever assembled in the State. It is easy enough to stand on a platform in a political campaign !llld say the people must be educated, the maMes must be made intelligent. This all sounds well but means nothing as long as schools with competent teachers and sufficient length of term are not provided for the children. I might fill these records with beautiful platitudes about education. I might compile here the must powerful and eloquent utterances of men, from Socrates down to the present hour. I might print here, side by side, Mrs. Browning's "Cry of the Children" and Edward Markham's" Man with the Hoe." All these things might sound well and look well in print, but after all they are so many voices crying in

7
the wilderness until men will hear them and consent to be led by them.
TDIE TO STUDY THE FACTS.
In this report I propose to gi ve the legislature some plain facts. To me these facts look hard and cold, but they are facts nevertheless. A thoughtful study of these facts may result in compelling the legislation that we sorely need. The facts themselves make a more powerful argument in favor of an advanced educational step for the State than can be found in all of our theories or in all of our authorities on education. It seems to me that the time is here t(} study our condition as it is, and to compare our educational status with that of every other State in the Union.
I trust that each member of the General Assembly is familiar with the present educational conditions in the couuty from which he comes. I trust be has made a per-:sonal study of theRe conditions before corning to the legislature. Before you can legislate wisely for any interest of your State you m u.st know the facts that properly illustrate that interest. I shall try to set forth in this report such facts as will enable you to familiarize yourself not only with the educational conditions of your county and State, but with the educational condition of every State in the Union. 'rhe tables herewith presented are not only exceedingly instructive but they are tremendously suggestive. I call your attention especially to the com parative 'table that shows th~ school population of each State, the total amount of school money expended by each State, the amount raised in each State by local and by State tax, the amount expended per capita of population, and the amount expended upon each child enrolled in the school~ of every State. This information is compiled from the last report of Dr. William T. Harris, the United States Oommissioner of Education. This report show3 that all the States in the Union except a

Q v
small group of Southern States now ha\'e a nine months' absolutely 'free term fIJI' all the children of school age. Georgilj; has only a five months' term. :Massachusetts spends 3:~D.l 0 every year for each child enrolled, Rhode Island spends $:36,26, New York $;3-l,55, while Georgia spends 86.31. As a matter of faet Georgia spends on her country children each year les8 than $-1.00 for each child enrolled. Georgia provides for each child of school age $2.1G, while Massachusetts provides for each child of school age $22.16, Hhode Island $14.G2, Xew York $16.9;}. N early all of the Middle and \V estern States spend ten times as much per child of school age a8 Georgia spend,.;. The teacllers in these system8 receive thl'ee and four times as mLlch salary as OLlr teachers receive, In ~Iassachu8etts all the school money i8 raised by local tax, while in Georgia nearly four-fifths of the money is raised by State tax. One-fourth of X ew York's scll\lol money is raised by State tax, the other three-fourths by local tax. In m08t of the States from one-third to one-fourth of the money is raised by State tax and the balance is required by Jaw to be raised by local tax. This is true in every section of the country except in the South. In every Southern State except Louisiana, Arkansas and Florida the money for school pnrposes is raised largely by a general State tax. In Florida the State provides $1.08 per child of school age and the counties raise $3A1 per child of school age. In most of the States the State law requires each county or school district to raise the local tax before it can participate ill the funds pruvided by the State for the education of the children.
The question I bring to the legislature of Georgia is this, has not the time now come for the Geneml Assembly to pass a law requiring each couuty iu this State to bear a part of the general burden of taxation for the education of the children? I would not insist upon a large local tax to start with, but nobody could object to a general proposition like

9
this: Requil'e each county to raise by local tax at least onefourth as much money as the Statc provides. This small amount would )lot be burdensome upon any county in the State of Georgia. Even the small counties, many of thcm, have not hesitated to tax themselves as much as $15,000 or $20,000 in one year to build a eoul'thouse or a jail. ]f the people can be taxed locally to build a jail for the children aftel' they ha\'e grown up in igncrance and vice and gone to the bad, why should they not tax themselves to build schoolhouses, and prolong the school term, and Hecure a capable teacher to save the children.
If you have taken the trouble to asccrtain the present value of the conrthouse and jail in your county and the pl'esent value of all the 8ehoolhouses in your cOllnty, yOIl ha\'e learned perhaps that your courthouse and jail have cost the county tlll'ee or foul' times as much as all the schoolhouses in the cOlin tv ha ve cost.
Another significant fact to which I call your especial attention is this: The tables in this report will s how that the average pay of the cOllntry school-teacher in Georgia for the la8t school year was $128 per ann 11m, while the average pay of the teachel' in the local system was nearly $47 f5 per annum. The average term of the country school is less than five months, and the average term of the local or town school is nine months, You will keep in mind that the local systems are maintained by a local tax. In the towns and cities it is easy to "ecme a vote for the local tax. In the cOHntry district it is diftlclllt to secure a majority of the votes for a local tax. The result is that those people who arc able to move from the country to the town or to the city al'e constantly mO\'ing to localities where they can get a long term free school for their children. In this way the cOllntry districts are constantly depleted of both wealth and population. 'Ye can never turn the tide of population back

10
from the olties to the country until we improve the school
. facilities of the country school district.
WHY TEACHERS j\IIGRATE.
The best teachers naturally migrate to the localities where they can secure the best pay. The country child is entitled to the same chance for an education that the city child enjoys. If a nine months' term is necessary to educate the city boy, a nine mouths' term isjust as necessary to educate the country boy. The towns and cities in Georgia raise locally two and three times as much money as the State provides for the education of their children. You can readily see how it is that the local systems naturally absorb the best teachers in the State. We can not maintain good schools anywhere without capable teachers. We can not secure capable teachers without paying them living salaries. Every member of the General Assembly earns more in fifty days than .the vast majority of teachers of Georgia earn in three hundred days.
Another significant fact is embodied in this report. We have one hundred and thirty-four county superintendents employed by the State.. The total amount paid them last year was $62,000; fifteen local superintendents received salaries which amounted to $32,000. We have only three counties that impose a local tax on the entire county for the support of the schools. These three counties, however, raise twice as much money by local tax a" the State provides and they have a nine months' school.
It seems to me that the conclusion from all the facts is inevitable. Will the legislature of Georgia have the cour, age to do what all these facts say ought to be done'? From $10.00 to $1500 per year is spent on each child enrolled in the local systems. Less that $4.00 per year is spent on each child enrolled in the county schools. Four dollars

11
per child enrolled will not educate the children in the rural districts.
COMPULSORY A'.rTENDANCE.
There is an increasing demand on the part of our people for the enactment of a compulsory attendance law. A large majority of the States in the Union have already enacted such legislation as is found necessary to com pel the attendance of children between the ages of 8 and 14. The importance of such legislation at this time need not be urged upon the legislature. It seems to me that the duty is a very plain one. The right to tax the people for the maintenance of th3 schools carries with it the right to compel every parent or guardian to send the children to the schools. 'Ve have entirely too many children in this State 14 years of age who can neither read nor wri teo The school population of the State is increasing annually at the rate of twel ve thousand per year. In 1898, the date of the last school census, the school population was 660,870. This present report shows an enrollment for the school year 1899 of 423,467, with a total average attendance of only 253,193; and yet this enr()llmentand attendance show a percentage of increase in both attendance and enrollment over former years~ In other words, the attendance last year upon our schools wa" larger and better than in any former year, and yet less than forty per cent. of our children of school age attended school tur the entire school term. There always have been, and there alway" will be, perhaps, people who are indifferent about the education of their children. In order to reach the children of this class of people a compulsory attendance law must be enacted. As above indicated, an
examination at these laws will show that the age fixed is
almost universally between 8 and 14, and the limit of the number of weeks usually not less than twenty.

12
H,ec~ntly in a mountain county I found a boy and girl gnarding a toll-gate. The boy was twelye years of age and tlie girl fourteen. Neither had ever been to schoo for a single day. They had no book of any kind in the wretched hovel they called home. These children are entitled to a chanee. The State should see to it, not only that the schoolhonse door is open for them, but they should be compelled to enter the open door.
ECOC\O}[ TO CESTRALIZE THE SCHOOLS ASD HAUL THE
LITTLE CifILDHEN AND GIRLS TO THE SCHOOLHOUSE.
Along with the compulsory attendance law another law should be passed authorizing the county boards to haul the little children and girls to the schoolhouse. This is cheaper on the ground of economy and is every way better for the little children and the girls. In one county in the State this experiment has been tried, and with most satisfactory results. Four small sehools were centralized at the most convenient point for all. The board of education made a contract with the teacher, giving him the money that previously went to the fOUl' schools. They stipulated in the contract that he should provide a way for the littlc children and the girls to be hauled to school. He \vas also to employ such assistance as the school required. In addition to the amount this teacher received from the board, he secured subscriptions from the several communities for the erection of a suitable schoolhouse and the maintenance of a long term school. Three Jersey wagons were employed at about eight dollars per month each to haul the girls and the little children from convenient points near their homes in the several communities to the schoolhouse each day. ~ow note the results. The average attendance of this one school for nine months has been more than twice the attendance of the four small schools for fi ve man ths. That is to say, this one cen tral

1,'"j
school secured the attendance of nearly all of the children of school age in those four communities for a nine months term by proyiding a safe escort for the girls and little children eYery day.
This is too important a matter for the country people to be -overlooked by the legislature. The people who Ii ye in the towns and cities do not realize the necessity for proteeting girls and little children on their way to school. There is no police pl'Otection in the country. 'Vith every country road infested with tramps, eyerybody know~ it is not safe to send these children long distances to school without proper protection. By centralizing the sehools and authorizing the board, as above indicated, to haul the children where they are eompelled to walk long distances, we can reach a large number of children that are not now going to school at all, for the reason aboye giyen.
EDUCATIOX AXIl CRDfK
Elsewhere in this report will be found a very thoughtful paper by Prof. E. C. Branson of the State Normal School, on the subject of Education and Crime. I trust that every member of the General Assembly wi II read carefully every line of this paper. It was read at the State Teachers' Association, and by a unanimous request of the association I embody it in this report. We have had in the public prints some yery unwise, if not foolish utterances on this subject in recent years, I am sure that Prof. Branson's paper will he very helpful to those, who are making investigation with a view to finding the truth. There is a disposition found in certain classes to hold the school responsible for every lny that goes to the bad. These people nev"er stop to consider that the percentage of criminals from the illiterates or ignorant class is vastly greater than the percentage from those who can read and write. Fifty-two per cent. of the prison population of

14
Georgia can neither read nor write. If the ignorant and illiterate? class of our people furnish 52 per cent. of our criminals, it seem to me that this fact makes a tremendous argume~t in fa VOl' of the schools.
Let it be remembered also that 0 ur school system is a long way from perfection. Before we can say what a perfect school system would do for our children, we must first perfect our system and try it. A system that provides for only five months' free education for all the children of the State and does not reach half the children of the schoo I population anyone year, cannot be held accountable for the children it has never reached.
We are stopping the waste of cottonseed and corn-stalks that, because of our former ignorance, were thrown away. 'Ve are now making in Georgia eighteen different kinds of products from cottonseed. It remains to be seen how many valuable products will come from the corn-stalk. If intelligent treatment of cottonseed and corn-stalks, that were formerly regarded as worthless has given them great commercial value and made them considerable factors in the wealth of the State, how much more will intelligent treatment and handling of neglected children add not only to the material but to the moral and spiritual resources of the com mon weal tho
This at least was the argument In the resolution passed by the legislature seventy years ago. The language of that resolution might well be printed in letters of gold and inscribed on the dome of the capitol of the State. Keep in mind that this is the language with which the resolution closes: "Iu proportion to the general intelligence will be the force, the wealth and the influence of the State; and it will be respected in the exact ratio of the instructed talent that it can bring into its negotiations."

15

THE COST OF A LOST BOY.
Let me remind the legislature again, as I have done on former occasions. The lost children of the State are costing the State a great deal more money than the children who are saved and made useful. The expense of trying, convicting and punishing a lost boy is raised by a local tax. The cost of every jail is raised by a local tax. Why not enforce a local tax to save these children before they go to the bad. The cost of saving the children is less than the cost of losing them.*
At least half of the court and jury expenses must be credited to the trial of these same prisoners. Fulton county' is, therefore, spending this year on her prisoners $82,050.45. In the county's budget there is not a dollar for schools. The State gives the county $13,747.71. The average number of prisoners in Fulton county is supposed to be about 2,000. The school children of the county by the last census number 6,850. Here are 6,850 children therefore at school at a cost of $13,747.71, and 2,000 prisoners in prisons or in the chain gang at an annual cost of $ 82,050.45. What a lesson is here for the wise legislator! If the truth could be known, everyone of these prisoners is a criminal because he was a neglected child. The legislature should see to it that the antecedent history of every criminal in this State should be ascertained and recorded in the prison records in order that we might know how far heredity and how far environment is responsible for crime. Right educational processes, intelligently applied, would cure most of the defects due to heredity, and would

?-em:tainly save many a child who IS now the victim of an Ull fortunate en vironment.
TOO FREQ1:EVT CHAX(a: OF TEACHERS.
Another thought in thi~ couuection. The statistics in my office show that from 7.5 per cent. to 80 per cent. of the teachers outside of the local system change localities every year. 'Vhat does this mean'? It means iu the first place that the teacher" are trying to better their comlitiou from. year to year; but it has a deeper significance thau that. No school can accomplish much for a community of children where the teacher is chauged every year. The ch i 1(hen sufler more than anybody elsc when there i,s no permauenee in the teaching force. ~o teaclier can do his best work for thc children of other pcople, when he has a daily combat with a wolf that is striving to enter the door where his own little ones are guarded.
'Ve mnst have therefore greater permanence of abode and longer tenure of office in the teaching proft'ssion of thip State before we can have satisfactorv results from Oll1" school work.
The remedy here as elsewhere, and the only remedy in sight, is a school fund sufficieut to maintain the schools upon a proper basis and to pay the teachers promptly.
LESSON FRO~[ THE PATEXT OFFICE.
Dr. Charles D. McIver, President of dw Oir],;' Normal and Industrial School of North Carolina, has compiled from the patent office at 'Vnshington some very intere,..ting statistics. The lesson that Dr. :'lIdvel' draws from these statistics is that ideas are worth more than acres, and the possessors of ideas will always hold in financial bondage those whose only possession is acres of land.
The statistics of the Patent office, showing, as they do, where ideas are most abundant, is at once a tribute to the worth of universal education, and accounts in a measure

17

for the accumulation of wealth In one section of the

co'untry.

.

In proportion to population more patents were issued to

citizens of Connectic,ut than to those of any other State-l

to every 933 inhabitants. Next in order are the follow-

ing: Massachusetts, 1 to every 1,428; Rhode 18land, 1

to every 1,548; New Jersey, 1 to every 1,549; District

of Columbia, 1 to every 1,694; Montana, 1 to every 1,-

723; Oklahoma, 1 to every 1,819; New York, Ito every'

1,825; Colorado, 1 to every 1,865; California, 1 to every

1,951. The fewest patents granted in proportion to the

number of inhabitants were in the following States: South

Carolina, 1 to every 23,982; North Carolina, 1 to every

23,787; Mississippi, 1 to every 18,964; Alabama, 1 to

every 18,914, and Georgia, 1 to every 17,333.

If these statistics are studied by the legislature the

members of that body cannot fail to see that the States in

this Union that have laid the greatest stress upon the de-

velopment of brain-power are the States that are to-day

the most prosperolls and most influential. Massachusetts

has ten times the wealth of Georgia because she has spent

for the last thirty-five years ten times as much money on

education of the masses as Georgia has spent. There is

enough inventive power undeveloped in the brains

of Georgia children to make the State enormously riob.

If our children receive in the next ten years the same

chance that the children of Connedicut are receiving to-

day, there will not be ten years from now 19 patents issued

to the boys and girls of Connecticlit where only one patent

is iSlSued to the boys and girls of Georgia. To express the

matter in another way, our prosperity in Georgia must be

measured by smoke-stacks as well as fertile acres. 'We

must train our children to stamp their brains upon their

.Rome-raised raw material, and it will not be many years
se

18
until w~ shall have as many smoke Rtacks to the acre as can be tou~d in Cgnnecticut and Massachusetts.
EXPANSION IN EDUCATION.
This brings me to the discussion of aoother matter which demands the attention of the legislature. When our schools were established twenty-five years ago the idea prevailed that a little writing, reading and arithmetic were about all that was needed for a common school system. "\\J"e have long since outgrown that narrow and circumscribed view of popular education. Whatever our people may think of "expansion" as to territory, they believe in " expansion" when it comes to a question of education. Every modern system of education is framed on the theory that a child's education must be so conducted as to develop it and equip it for the life it is to lead when school-days are over. About ninety per cent. of the children of Georgia live in the country. A vast majority of them will spend their lives upon the farm. Agriculture has come to be a science. While our children are learning to read and writeand to cipher, they canjust as well learn the elementary principles of agriculture. These elementary principles are embodied in courses of study that any child can gra"p, known as nature studies. These nature studies are being introduced in the school systems of all the States. Together with these nature studies, elementary manual training is also being embodied in a course of study. I desire that the legislature sllall authorize me to remodel our seho 01 system and require both of these branches taught in the schools everywhere. I have recently published and placed in the bands of every teacher in the State a scheme for regrading our entire public school system. The object of this new scheme of studies is to so classify the children and so order the work done in every school in Georgia that I can tell definitely from the report of the superintend-

19
ent just what the children of every grade have accomplished during each school year. The importance of this new scheme for grading and classifying the children and planning for their orderly development will, I am sure, commend itself to the legislature. If we can now add to our course of studies manual training and nature studies we can secure not only a fuller and better development of the brain-power of our children, butthe training that we can give them will better adj ust them to the work they will have to do in after-life. The education of the brain through the hands is the most important step that has been taken educationally and psychologically in recent years. Let it be remembered that the work of the future even on the farms mllst be done by skilled hands. The machine is rapidly coming to the farm in Georgia as it has come to the farm everywhere else. Manual labor will hereafter mean not drudgery but skilled labor. The schools in Switzerland, Holland, Germany, Denmark, France, and the British Isles, as well as the schools of all the leading States in America, are training the children for skilled labor, and they are emphasizing this lesson that learning by doing is the only sure road to success. All of these schools are fixing iu the children habits of industry while the brain is undergoing the formative proceEises that fix character and destiny.
SCHOOLS FOR HIGHER EDUCATIOX SUPPORTED
BY THE STA'fE.
The schools for higher education supported by the State have heen remarkably successful during the last year. Th.e State University under the inspiring and forceful leadership of the new chancellor, Dr. W. B. Hill, has evidently entered upon a new career of enlarged usefulness. The percentage of representatives from counties in the State was raised last year from 48 to 60. The Univer.sity, there-

20
fore, ha~ last yeal' students from a larger number of COUtlties than in any previous year of its history.
The 'State Normal School, under the excellent manageRlent of President S. D. Bradwell, continues to grow in usefulness. The board of trustees of that institution call especial attention to the needs of this ~chool. A system of sewerage is absolutely necessary in the near future toprotect the health of the inmates of the dormitory. The sche>ol is located outside of the city of Athens and must have a sewer to the river. Every committee that the legislature has sent to examine this school has recommended an appropriation for the building of this sewer. Its importance is urgent. The school also needs additional class-rooms and increased dormitory facilities. The Federation of Women's Clubs has selected the State Normal School as the proper location for the Winnie Davis Memorial Hall. This memorial building should be constructf~d of Georgia marble. It should stand forever as a testimonial of the reverence and love of our people for the Daughter of the Confederacy. In this building teachers should be trained to teach the children of the State the truth of history. It seems to me that it would be fitting and every way appropriate for the legislature to contribute not less than $10,000 for the erection of this memorial Hall. If the legislature will give $10,000, I am sure the ladies can raise $15,000. The building should not cost less than $25,000.
The State has no school that is paying richer returns for the money invested than the State Normal and Industrial School at Milledgeville. Under the faithful administration of President J. Harris Chappell the school has grown in popularity every year since the date of its establishment. The girls who attend this school are largely froln the rural districts, and when they return to their homes after graduation at Milledgeville, they -become-

21
'centers of power that will tell for generations to come on the welfare of the State. Many of them become teachers in our country schools. Many of the very best teachers in the State are graduates of the Normal and Industrial School at Milledgevill.e.
We have another school located in the mountains that should be constantly cherished by the legislature, the Agricultural and Mechanical College at Dahlonega. President J. S. Stewart is giving the best years of his young manhood to the young men and women in the northern part of the State. The school is rapidly spreading intelligence in all the mountain districts of Georgia. It has already vastly improved the character of the teachers in that section. President Stewart has embodied in hiE; course of study an admirable curriculum for the training of teachers. The university has no more valuable adjunct in its educational work than the Agricultural and Mechanical College at Dahlonega. The State needs a school similar in character to this located somewhere in the Southern section of counties.
Dr. J. L. M. Curry, the general agent for the Peabody fund contributed last year to the support of the Georgia Normal and Industrial School at Milledgeville, $2,000; to the State Normal School at Athens, $1,500, and to the Agricultural an.d Mechanical College at Dahlonega, $500.
The State contributes $8,000 per annum to the Industrial College, located at College, Ga., near Savannah. 'l'his school is exclusively for colored students. President R. R. vVright reports that the school last year had an attendance more than double the attendance of any previous year. In addition to the regulal' course of study this school has a department of Pedagogy, a department of Agriculture and a department of Trades. Under the department of Trades are taught carpentry, blacksmithing, masonry, painting, tailoring, shoemaking and sewing. Hon. P. W.

22
Meldrim, the chairman of the Board of Trustees, has contributed a great deal of his valuable time to the supervision ~f this school.
The enrollment of students at the School of Technology during the past year has reached 459. The remarkable interest in industrial education, and the excellent work in the different departments of the school have contributed to this resnlt. The textile department, known as the A. French Textile School, matriculated 125 students, a greater matricnlation of new textile students than any other textile school in America. The catalogue publishes annually all of the graduates of the schools and their occupations. This showing is most satisfactory, as it indicates conclusively that the school is doing in an admirable way the work for which it was founded.
It will be remembered that the legislature appropriated in 1897, $10,000.00 to establish the department of textiles on conditions that the fri-ends of the school raise an additional $10,000 in money or equipment. To meet this condition the friends of the school have given over $47,000.00 to date. One half of this amount is in cash, and the other half is in machinery.
On account of the large increase in students it will be necessary for the State to make an additional appropriation for maintenance during the coming session. Unless this is done the institution will be crippled in its work, because the instructing force, and consequently the enrollment of students, will have to be reduced.
President Lyman Hall, a man of great energy and abounding resources, is managing this school with consummate ability.
DENO~IINATIONAL SCHOOLS.
We have a large number of schools supported by the various churches that are sending out year by year a large

23
number of well-equipped young men and women to become contributors to the wealth and intelligence of the State. Many of our most illustrious men and women are graduates of these institutions. Elsewhere will be found a list of these schools with the number of pupils iu attendance last year. This list is not always complete because the head of the school fails to report the attendan ce to the county superintendent. I send blanks each year to the county superintendent to secure thi3 information.
THE SCHOOLHOUSE REPORT.
The building of new and comfortable schoolhouses in the rural districts has gone forward steadily for the last five years. I publish elsewhere this report from the counties in detail. The report shows that the people have spent about $100,000.00 in erecting new buildings in the country districts each year for that period. Most of this money has been contributed voluntarily by the patrons, and those interested in the schools. To my mind this i3 one of the most significant and hopeful signs of our edncational field work.
SCHOOLS NOW OPENING WITH INCREASED ATTENDAl\CE.
The fall term of the schools is now opening with a largely increased attendance. The town and city systems show an increase in the enrollment-larger than in any former year. The colleges of all kinds are full to overflowing. All this indicates a growing interest in education in all grades of our school work. The large number of edncational rallies that have been held in every county in the State during the present year has helped to arouse and awaken the people to the importance of educating the children.

WHAT SCHOOLS CA~ DO FOR THE FARMER'S BOY.
ADDRESS TO FARMERS BY C01HnSSIONER GLENN.
The country boy leaves the farm because he has learned in school that other fields of humau activity offer higher rewards. The country boy is ambitious to raise and move up and move on in the world. His teacher has fired his heart with stories of what men in the learned professions have accomplished. He is attracted by lanrels that men have won in the pulpit, at the bar, on the hustings, on the battle field, and on the deck of a fighting sh i p. The course of study that the schools have prescribed for the boy tells him that to be great in the eyes of the world he must preach a great sermon, or write a great poem, or make a great oration, or lead a great charge, or command a fleet of warships from the bridge of a warship, in a naval battle. How to win conquests from the soil of mother earth, how to make the fields blossom and ripen into a fruitage of golden harvest, has been, up to this time, no part of the training of the boys in our schools. The book learni ng of the acadel1~ies has led away from' the hard and exciting toil on the farm. III cases where the boy has had no learning at all we have had the stolid picture of the "man; with the hoe" -the emptiness of ages in his face:
"~~ thing that grieves not and never hopes, Stolid and stunned, a brother to the ox."
Millet's picture and Markham's poem arraign with terrific emphasis the wrong education or the lack of all education that for ages past has been the lot of the children on the farm. Not until recent years has the world come to recognize that agricultural ursuits require a higher form of de-
3 sc

34
velopme~t ~pd as large degree of intellectual power as may be required in any other department of human endeayor.
The country boy will never stay on the farm until he has been taught at home and at school how to find the beanty and the profit and the power that reside in the fields as they are to be found nowhere else. Weare late in learning, but we are neverthQless learning at last that it is tIle business of the school to train the children for the life they are to lead after they have left the school.
In recent years every State in the Union has established within the confines of the commonwealth a technical school of agriculture and mechanic arts. '1'his is well, but it does not go far enough. We must put into the public schools, the primary schools for the masiies, such elementary branches of study as will be immediately and directly help_ ful in the training of our children for agricultural pursuits. At least two thirds of our school popn lation in the South must of necessity spend their lives on the farm. Kature studies, the elements of biology, the elements of chemistry, how plants grow, how soils are enriched and impoverished, how lands may be terraced, and a thousand forms of elemental instruction can be taught in the schools with infinitely greater results, so far as intellectual development goes, than by the continued use of many branches of study that have come down to us by tradition from the monks and monasteries of ages past. The dead languages are good in their way, and no educational man will speak lightly of their educational value, but there are living languages in plants and blades of grass, and soils, and stones, and streams, and birds, and flowers, that appeal with infinite delight and foster unmeasured growth in the heart of a child. The great minds who have done the most and the best for this world, even in literature, in art and in science, have corne from the very heart of nature, and "nature never betrayed the heart that loved her." The bard of

35
Avon even, who tuned our English tongue to higher and sweeter notes than e're before were heard, put his ear close to the meadow land and his heart to the hills of life, and his eye upon the silent stars, while bird and flower and blade of grass spoke to him as he toiled and tilled the land (If his native shire. The world will perhaps never see another Shakespeare, nor another Milton, nor another Burns; it may be that the world does not need another Hamlet, nor another Paradise Lost, nor another Cotter's Saturday Night, but it does need men and will always need men who can make two blades of grass grow this year where only one grew last year.
In agriculture, as in every other science, we are coming to the reign of law. Law is derived from intelligently conducted experiments, and experiments are questions put to nature that she will answer, ten thousand times over, with unerring precision and regularity. Traditional farm lore and primiti ve methods when men had virgin soil wi 11 not do for to-day. When a seed is put into the ground now we must know the food supplies of the soil about this seed. The bull-tongue plow has become obsolete and the cultivateI' has taken its place; the simple scythe is long since forgotten and the McCormick rea?er is garnering our grain. The man going to mill with a bushel of corn at one end of a bag and stones to balance it at the other end, if he is not altogether apocryphal, has gone never to return. Intelligence is establishing her right to reign everywhere. Men plant no more by the moon, but by the sun.
The question is then, what can our schools do for agriculture? How can the public schools be so related to this industry of the South that the children who leave our schools may desire to enter this noble and enterprising field?
In the first plaoe the children mllst be taught at school that agriculture is not only the earliest pursuit of mankind,

36
rs but it tQ--day one of the noblest professions that men can
follow. They must be taught that an intelligent farmer equipped with all the science and art to-day,. may bring to his aid can win a high honor and occupy as high a place in public estimation as can be won in the pursnit of any calling in human life. 'rYe can teach the children indeed that the man of brains on the farm is one of the most potential forces for good that can be found anywhere in the world. \Ve must show them that farm work is no longer mere drudgery, but it is as noble and intelligent form of labor as man can pursue. The machine on the farm cau now do as much work a~ ten men could do twenty years ago. As teacher we must show the children the peace and plenty, the quiet joy, the purity of heart, the contentment of independence, the nobility of soul, all of which may come in unhindered fullness from the noble pursuit,,: of scientific agriculture.
In. the second place to accomplish this our cour"e of study in the public schools must be radically changed. The ideal of the school must be changed. The subject-matter in the text-books must be revised. While the chi Id is learning to read, write and cipher, it could just a.s \yell learn these elementary branches in the terms of nature- studies, elements of biology, elements of chemistry, elements of free-hand drawing and modeling of all kinds. Intelligent testimony from the entire educational world is to the effect that children will not only lose nothing, but they will gain tremendously in their natural and normal development by making these changes. If a boy in Hollano has learn eO at school to support a family of ten by the intelligent cultivation of one acre of land, a boy in Georgia should learn at school how to support a family of ten on ten acres of land. This is the problem that we must solve not only in Georgia, but in every other Southern State.
The time has come to wed the Department of Agriculture

37
'into a closer marital union with the Department of Educa;tion in every Southern State. Intelligent agricultural methods must come as a result of intelligent school methods. The Department of Agriculture in the State of New York, through Professor L. H. Bailey of Cornell U niver-sity, is doing a magnificent work. Not only is he improving the systems of farming, but he is magnifying and intensifying the system of education in the State. Professor Bailey's leaflets are now used as text-books in all the schools of the great State of New York. We have agricultural possibilities and agricultural resources in every SQuthern State that are not to be found even in the great State of Xew York. From Virginia to Texas we have -unbounded agricultural wealth that is yet to be developed. The profits of this development must go to the pockets of our people. The masses of the people must do this work 'of development. In order that we may accomplish this great result, the masses must be educated through our public schools. We need capital, and we invite all desirable 'immigrants into our midst. But more than we need capital aud more than we need immigration, we need a high and practical intelligence among the masses of our people who are engaged in agriculture. Our great manufacturing interests and our mining industries are enlarging rapidly, and almost as rapidly they are passing into the hands of aliens -and strangers.
Our fields of agriculture must remain our own, and in order that we may enjoy the best fruits of our own labor, ,those who toil on the farm must be intelligently trained ,for tbis noble pursuit.

EDUCATION AND CRIME.*
BY E. C. BRANSON, GEORGIA STATE NUR~IAL SCHOOL.
"It is well to have this question in some shape upon the program of every association of teachers." -D,'. lVm. 7'. HarTis.
1.
The purpose of this paper is to examine a certain drift of opinion in the South from the day of Governor Berkeley, of Virginia, until now. What this drift of opinion is will appear in the following propositions, taken in exact phrase, from various newspapers that have reached my desk during the last fi ve years:
"Public education is mischievous and is provocative of crime. It widens the rauge of desire among the masses without increasing the ability to gratify them honestly. It unfits the lower classes for work, breeds restless discontent, mothers anarchy, and provides lucifer matches and dynamite for the lawless. It does not make good citizens, nor lessen crime, but on the contrary increases crime, not just a little, but immensely. Fifty per cent. of the convicts of Massachusetts have had a high school education, 12 per cent. are college graduates, and only 4 per cent. are illiter-
ate. [Sic]. From 1880 to 1890 crime increased in Georgia
44 per cent., and dnring th.e first sixteen years of our convict lease system crime increased 96 per cent. Being taxed to educate other people's children is an outrage upon human rights, and our quarrel with this injustice is all the more bitter, because we ar~ rendered in return no pro-

39
tection, either for our lives or our property. Crime increases as public education increases."
Such is the drift of opinion we have to consider. Right or wrong, it has been tremendously powerful, and has mightily affected public policies in the South, where the temper of the English Cavalier has beel] so long dominant. It delayed common, school education among us two hundred and fifty years. The public school was forced upon Georgia by the bayonets of reconstruction, and is guarded to-day by the ballots of its beneficiaries; but this deeply rooted distrust of secular education by the State is still dictating the policies of thp, South in matters of higher learning and seems likely to do so for many years to come.
The argument of this paper is definite and defensive. A bundant room is left for a strong constructive argument in favor of education as a deterrent of crime; but this aspect of the question I leave to other occasions and other students of sociological pathology.
The relation of education to crime is manifestly a question of great perplexity and difficulty; because it is impossible to measure with utm08t exactitude the varion" forces formative of civilization, and to assign to each its precise influence; yet all these forces must be reckoned with, the school among them; just approximates must be fairly reached and the question of this paper answered upon the basis of preponderant probabilities.
Prefatory to such argument as I may have to offer, I may say that this question, like all really great question8, is not one to be settled by mere discussion. For good or ill, the civilized world has steadily moved forward toward universal education, in accord with the profound belief of the great masses of men in modern times, that ignorance and not education is the mother of vice, that virtue is grounded iu the reason, that enlightened intelligences are necessary to <:lnlightened consciences, that illiteracy is a

40
menace to the individual and to the community, and that educatio~ by the State is not a charity of the State, but a defence ,for th eState.
Hallam in tracing the decline of society in the Dark Ages says: "\Ve have been led, not without connection, from ignorance to superstition, from superstition to vice and lawlessness, and from thence to general rudeness and poverty."
II.
The main questions bearing upon a ju~t conclusion in this matter, as I see it, are: (1) What, broadly, are the influences conditioning human life and civilization, (2) What, in this argumAnt, may properly be called Education and what may properly be charged to its account, and (3) What is crime and what, in the opinion of criminologists, are its sources.
Approximately just answers to these questions will enable us to determine the share of the school in the production of crime.
1. In the first place, I may venture, perhaps, to say ronndly that the forces formative of civilization are four: Heredity, which at the start furnishes each man with an ontfit of powers and dispositions seated in a body to live in and to act with; Physical and social surroundings, which bring him into direct intercourse with Nature and Human Nature; Epoch, which determines the possible extent of his acquaintance with accumulated human achievement; and Spontaneity, that mysterious power which enables him to react independently and characteristically against environment.
The function of the common school is to give the pupil command of the conventionalities of intelligence, whereby he may realize in himself the life and deeds of the race.

41
Every boy starts to school two hundred years before he i>J born, says Dr. Holmes; which is a way of saying that strain of ancestry is a factor in human destiny. Then from the cradle to the grave each man is going to school to nature and human nature, whether he go to school in books Dr not. The kind of home in which a man begins life, his Dutdoor associates, his books, companions and teachers in school, the opinions, sentiments and ethical standards of the community in which he lives, the laws and penalties of the State, and the influences of the Church are all prime factors in determining what he is to be in life.
,Now when Ancestry, the Home, the School, the Community, the State and the Church are all concerned in determining the qualities of civilization, it is folly to ,charge upon the school alone all the good or all the evil of civilization, for which all these forces are proportionally
responsible, or for which some Of all the others are mainly
responsible. Thus, the first faJlacy of the slashing scribbler is this:
He sees that the ills of our civilization are the result of education, then he hnrries to charge against the school in particular the results of education in general, involving necessarily all the schools formative of civilization.
III.
1. In the first place I may ask what properly may be called Education in this argument, and what may fairly be charged to its account? It seems fair to limit the term to the labor of teachers in schoolrooms. Its leading illquiry, Rays Dr. Bain, is how to train the Memory. 'When you .consider that Bain regards the full round of man's powers ns intlirdependently involved in a rational culture of the memory, it will be seen that the proposition is not a narrow

42
one. ~ay:s volume upon the Nature and Culture of Memory 'is all entertaining enlargement of this proposition.
It is l'l.ot necessary here to adopt this particular view of the teacher's work in education, but the fact to be noted is, that his labors are directly and mainly concerned with the intellectual powers of the pupil. Xo schoolmasterin America ever had a more sem,it ive conscience than David Perkins Page, find he held the teacher mainly responsible for the intellectual development of the pupil, and placed elsewhere the weight of responsibility for his physical, moral and spiritual development.
Necessary to the discharge of the teacher's main responsibility is the good behavior of his pupils, and this means obedience, regularity, punctuality, respect for the rights of others, industry, truthfulness and self-restraint; but this schooling in the indnstrial and co-operative virtups is subsidiary to the direct aim of the school.
Dr. 'V. T. Harris reminds us that the heart is educated
by enforcing correct intellectual views, then by making conformity to these habitual, whereupon the correct view and the correct habit gradually become a second nature, resulting in ethical conduct; that education acts on intellect and will, and, through habit and fixed conclusion~ affect character and conduct; and that thc result of all school education is heart culture, whether intended or not. (Psychologic Foundation of Education.)
It seems to be a fact, whatever be our theories, that the intelligences of pupils are schooled by t l18 teacher, while most largely and more commonly their characters are being schooled by their fellow pupils. "I send my boy to the school-master and the boys educate him," said Emerson. Pupils, even the youngest, come into our schools \yith their characters ready-made, only rarely to be lastingly influeneed by teachers, and usually most influenced: by the free companionships of youth.

No man ever realized this fact' more keenly than Dr. Arnold, and the grand results of his fourteen years of work at Rugby were due largely to his intimate personal knowledge of the boys outside the schoolroom, and the adroitness with which he established or destroyed the intimacies of schoolboy cliques and coteries.
Our contention is that individual character, whose aggregate is the complex result called civilization, is formed more in the free companionships of youth than by the formal relations of teacher and pupil; more outside the schoolroom than in it; more in homes than in schools; more by parents than by trachers; more by all the other schools of life than by the school technically so called.
2. Again: The direct value of academic training to civilizatio~ seems to me to be two-fold. The first concerns the curriculum and the second concerns the teacher.
In a liberally conceived and wisely ordered course of study, the student has a chance to avail himself of the aggregate observation of mankind; he may share in the capitalized wisdom of the entire race; he may reinforce direct, personal knowledge with the sense-perceptions of all, the reflections and inventions of all, the life-experience of all and thus all the yesterdays may live in his to-day. He may look into the future through the eye of all the past. He may learn quickly and safely what the race has learned slowly and perilously.
One of the best results coming to the student from a well-mastered curriculum is a heightened sense of necessary sequence, and its effect is to lengthen the precious pause between impulse and action. "This lengthening pause between impulse and action marks the development of savagery into civilization," says Taine. A fundamental condition of crime is a weak sense of causation, is an inability to see the remote end of the chain of consequences of wrong-doing, is a lack of imaginative forethought. This

44
-is what Soc..r.a.t.e, s meant 'when he said that men would be
all-virtuous if they could be all-wise. Fat men and lawyers are s~id never to head riots. A generous academic culture tends to breed in men the thoughtful outlook of the one and the temperamental conservatism of the other. So much for the effect upon ethical conduct of a purely intellectual education, if such an education be possible. For instance, forgers in the United States (Census, 1890) averaged forty-five to the million of population. In the New England States the number is 50 per cent. under the average, while in the Southern States it is 50 per cent. above.
Illustrative of the effect of diffused intelligence upon serious crimes against person and property is the decrease of 44 per cent. in the commitments for such offenses in Massachusetts between 1865 and 1885. (Article by David C. Torrey in "Lend a Hand," for January, 1890.) The rate of illiteracy in Massachusetts is low-only 6 per cent. But in Georgia one-sixth of our white and nearly seventenths of the negroes are illiterate, according to the census of 1890; and we find that 44 per cent. of our penitentiary convicts were committed for crimes of passion and violence, while 35 per cent. of them were committed for burglary alone. Of the 10,500 homicides in 1895, the negroes, 11 per cent. of the population, furnished 34 per cent. and female homicides 66 per cent. Georgia is near the bottom in the column of illiteracy, only four States having a lower rate, and person and property are exposed accordingly_ Verily an ignorant man in a state of passion is the most savage of all wild beasts.
Coming now to consider the greatest possible service of the teacher, I may say that it lies in his power to inflame the minds of students with an enduring love of learning, in reinforcing the student's native energy and in directing

45
the expenditure of it naturally and economically, and in> lighting up his life with high ideals and noble purposes.
Only a strong and noble personality can be a great teacher, and even then hi" efficiency lies at last in the unconscious indirections of personality. Said Goethe of one of his teachers, "He it was that taught me most, because he encouraged me 'most." Froebel left Pestalozzi saying, "He taught us little, but oh how our hearts burned within us as he walked along the way with us!" "I care not what my daughter studies," said Emerson, "bnt I do care with whom she studies."
3. However, nobody challenges the worth of ideal schools and ideal teachers. The question is: Does education of the ordinary sort, even in its lowest estate, tend to decrease crime? or, on the contrary, does it increase crime, "not just a little but immensely," as is charge,d so commonly and so constantly?
In 1890, Dr. W. T. Harris analyzed the criminal and illiteracy per cents. of Massachusetts. He found that an illiterate p?lHtlation of 5 per cent. furnished 30 per cent. of the criminals, or six times its quota; while a literate population of 9.5 per ceut. furnished only 70 per cent. of the criminals, about one-fifth less than its quota. In other words, everyone thousand illiterates on an average furnished eight criminals, while every thousand literates averaged only one criminal.
In the report of the Kational Bureau of Education for 1872, the returns from the prisons and jails of the se'Tenteen States keeping such statistics showed a similar ratio in favor of education as a deterrent of crime. Three of the States were Southern States,' and the illiterate population showed five and one-third times their proper share of criminals,
The report of the Detroit jail ill 187i, giving a sum-,

46
mary for bfen'fy-fi ve years, shows again the ratio of 8 to 1 in favor ot the law-abidingness of literates.
Taking the illiteracy returns for Georgia in 1893 and the figures in our penitentiary report nearest that date, we find that an illiterate negro population of 27 per cent. furni"hed 54 per cent. of the negro convicts; while a literate ne~ro population of 73 per cent. furnished 46 per cent. of the negro convicts. Thus the illiterate negro population of the State averaged three convicts per thousand, while the literate negro population of the State averaged one.
For an illustrat.ion of the fallacy of ordinary reasoning from statistics about education and crime, take the following instance: In 1898, 50 per cent. of our penitentiary convicts in Georgia were illiterate and 50 per cent. of them literate. Concluson: Education does not deter crime, But when ,you consider that an illiterate population of 19 per cent. furnished one-half of our penitentiary convicts, while 81 per cent. of literate population furnished the other half, you will see that the illiterates of the State furnish more than four times their quota of convicts.
Take another instance or two of this same sort of fallacy, and its absurdity is very clear. Thus, between 1870 and 1880 penitentiary criminals in the U. S. gained thirteen in the million, and inmates in the county jails fifty-nine in the million. Also, during this period, all the religious denominations claim an increase in clergy, churches and membership. C0nclusion: Religious training increases crime. Or again: A report on my desk shows 82 per cent. of the criminals of the U. S. in good health, 12 per cent. in fair health, and 6 per cent. in bad health. Conclusion: Good health increases crime, "not just a little but immensely."
If we had a sufficiency of such instances, I may go on to say, that a snmmary in brief of the statistical returns from Austria, Norway and Sweden, Wurtemberg, Saxony,

47
the British Isles, Australia, Japan and France, show an increase in educational tacilities and a decrease in crime.
In England since 1~70, the number of children in school has increased from 1,500,000 to 5,000,000, the number of persons in prison has decreased from 12,000 to 5,000, and the number of persons sentenced to penal servitude tor the worst crimes has declined from 3,000 to 800. (Address of Sir John Lubbock before the Sociological Congress in Paris.) Samuel J. Barrows calls attention to the fact that England has been closing prisons for lack of occupants, two in 1892, and others recently, the last being in Liverpool.
A recent report of the Prussian Pedagogical Society shows statistically that in the provinces where the compulsory education laws are most rigidly enforced, the percentage of criminals is smallest. Thns in 'Vest Prussia, there
are 1926 criminals to 100,000 inhabitants and in Hohenzollern only 7() 1. The statistics also show that the improvement of the schools and greater strictness in obligatory attendance have everywhere been followed by per~eptible diminution of crime. (The Nation, July, 1899.)
Since 1870 the educational activity of France makes the most marvelous chapter in the History of Education, what then has been the efJect upon crime? By courtesy of Dr. \V. T. Harris, I am permitted to present as an answer the results of an investigation recently made by him in this field:
From 1876 to 1896 serious crimes against person and property in France decreased 23.8 per cent. During this period, youthful criminals, between 16 and 21, decreased 36.0 per cent. Juvenile criminals, 16 years old and under, decreased 50 per cent.

48
IV.
But ill order to come closer to the share of the school in the production of crime let us ask what crime is, and what, in the opinion of criminologists, its sources are.
Briefly, crime is conduct violative of an authorized formal expression of public tast~, conscience and expediency, concerning matters of propriety, safety, justice, morality, or policy. It is the will of one in active conflict with the wills of all, to the immediate or remote danger of community welfare. Crimes are the diseases of the socia1 body, freely created by the will of one and the wills of all under the conditions affecting the actions of will.
Thus civilization produces its own crimes, and so, in a sense not usually considered. Among primitive peoples, widely scattered and loosely compacted, with large range for the gratification of personal desires, with low standards of taste, propriety,conscience and conduct, laws would be few. Few laws, few violations of law, few crimes, in consequence. But as civilization advances, community life becomes more closely federated and more complex. It calls for surrender of personal rights and properties in fair proportion for the common good. Cooperative endeavor becomes a marked feature of community life. Standards of taste, propriety, conscience and conduct are elevated and laws become more numerous. ~Iore law8, more crimes more criminals, are the consequenee. Conduct once lawful now becomes criminal.
Thus, swindling among the PhCBnicians and lying among the Spartans were not crimes but virtues. Infauticide in the Christian world was not a crime until the time of Constantine. It is significant tbat Luther's Table Talks oecnrred over mugs of beer, and that he advised a student harassed by the question of predestination to settle it by getting well drunk. The Tenton bas alwaysl:>een a drunk-

49
ard upon instinct, but in Teutonic civilization, drunkenness, has become less and less respectable and laws against it more and more stringent. From 1850 to 1885 arrests for intemperance increased 450 per cent. in Massachusetts, Seventy-five per cent. of the prison offenders of this State in 1885 were committed for intemperance alone. These figures indicate an increase of wholesome public distaste against drunkenness-more, perhaps, than an increase of drunkenness itself.
Thus, the multiplicity of laws and the increase of cases upon prison records indicate an increase of crime less than an increase of public sensitiveness about crime. They are an evidence not of rotting but of ripening civilization, inasmuch as conduct not before considered criminal has now become so at the bar of public conscience, public opinion and public taste. I dare say that the police records of Atlanta will show an increase of offenders this year over last; not because her public schools are failing to decrease crime, but because it is now a misdemeanor in that city to spit on the siclwalk.
It seems to be uniformly true that ~n all coun tries where educational facilities have increased, serious crimes have decreased, while the court records show more and more misdemeanor cases. It indicates, I repeat, not an increase of bad conduct so much as an increase of public distaste against disorder and indecency. The law is merely taking cogni~~~ce of a wider range of offenses. I am told, for instance, that it is a crime to whistle in the streets of Berlin; that an offender is fined $1.00 for spitting upon the floor of the new railway station in Boston; that once upon a time horse-stealing was the only crime a man could commit in Texas. It is now a crime for a woman to wear a hat in an Atlanta theatre. I rE'peat again, that education and cultivation lend more and more to transfer to the catalogue of
4 sc

50
misdemeanors offenses that were formerly unnoticed by the law. Oh'o~rse this means a total increase of police records' and criminal cases; but is it not also evident that education has in this way contributed to the safety of person and pro.perty and to the comfort of li ving?
Thus in 1888 crimes in Italy, more or less serious, amounted to 33,000 cases, but misdemeanors amounted to more than half a million. In France in 1887, crimes ave.raged 81 to the million inhabitants, but offenses 5,390 to the million. 13ut this increase in crime in France, as indicated by the prison records, is regarded by Bournet as due mainly to modifications of legislation, and by the Scientific Review, to ethnographical influences. Neither refers it to popular education.
If, now, we look straight at the sources of crime, we shall see, I think, that public education is not one 0 f them or only insignificantly so; but on the contrary that it is one of the chief defenses of society against crime, and So by the common consent of criminologists.
1. Heredity is largely responsible for the physical manias, the defective intelligences, the abnormal sensibilities, and weakling wills out of which issues a large per cent. of crime, pauperism, and inounity. Both Marro and Hossi found that 31 per cent. of the criminal defectives studied by them were the children of alcoholized parents.
2. By the common consent of criminologists the two greatest sources of crime are drunkenness and poverty. 'rhe figures in the Dictionaire des Sciences Jledicales indicate the relation of intemperance and crime. The propol'tion of crime caused by the habits of intemperance as exhibited therein is as follows: "England, 43 per cent.; Sweden, ;31 per cent.; Germany, 44 per cent.; Belgium, 80 per cent.; Denmark, 74 per cent." In Massachusetts in 1885, as before noted, the commitments for drunken ness alone amounted to 75 per cent. of the total. There is

everywhere a pertect parallelism between the increase of alcoholism and the increase of crime and suicide, says Colajanni. Suicide, thft, and homicide are crimes that increase in direct proportion to the consumption of alcohol, says Vetault. Carroll D. \Vright, U. S. Commissioner of Labor, says, that as poverty is lessened crime is lessened, that the lines of crime rise and fall with the lines of prosperity, that hunger is the great source of petty crimes.
Now, criminologists assign a great variety of causes for alcoholism and poverty, but education is not to be found in the list of anyone of them.
3. Again: lying, disobedience, dishonesty, and idleness are rooted in the home, and the harvest at last is crime. Says Warden Bush of Sing Sing, "A large number in our prisons are there because of lack of proper discipline in the family, because of the free indulgence of parents." Major McClaughry, at one time chief of the Chicago police, says that criminal parentage, criminal associates and criminal neglect of children are the chief sources of crime in our country.
4. Another source of criminality, emphasized by Holder and Dr. Harris, is the accelerated growth of cities in the present century. In 1790 one-thirtieth of the population of the United State" lived in cities; ill 1890, one-half. And the greatest source of poverty, suffering, and crime in our cities, says General Booth, is the fierce competition for work among the very poor.
5. Other prominent sources of crime, emphasized by students of criminology, are, newspaper prominence given to it, cheap, sensational literature, idlenes" and loafing, ignorance of a trade, greed for gold and the haste to become rich, love of display, un wi&e charities, the lack of reformative influences in prison life, unjust discriminations in criminal laws, the discontent of oppressed wage-earners, unscrupulous partizan politics, sympathy for criminals, delayed justice, unwise pardons, and numel'OUS other causes

52
which Joly Gonsumes 431 pages in listing, witholl't once charging fhe'crimes of civilization upon public education.
On the contrary, D'Olivecrona says that neglected education produces three-fourths of our criminals. The Kational Prison Association of 1892 concluded that an important deterrent of crime lay in the care and training of children. Carroll D. Wright says that education is better than a code of criminal laws. Judge Turner, in his penitentiary report for 1893, explained the criminality of the neg-ro race by their illiteracy and lack of moral influences, and among other remedies called upon the Governor for teachers and schooling for the convicts. 'Vines and Carre come nearer the proper explanation, perhaps, when they remind us that sudden freedom from restraint among all peoples everywhere has been followed by epidemic of crime. Strange, too, that all reformatory penal institutions are modeled upon the school and oosed upon the idea of education as efficiently preventive of crime. Lombroso says that, in general, the moral anomalies, which in adults would constitute a criminal, are much larger iu proportion in children, and disappear through education.
6. Finally, I may quote you the opinion of ex-Superintendent Byrnes in the North American Review-a man who knows the criminal as few men have ever known him in thia country. He says that saloons, criminal associations, and ignorance are the chief sources of crime, that good citizenship begins when a man becomes able to reflect upon the consequences of crime, and that the best defense of a community lies in raising the standard of general intelligence.
I have not been able to discover that any man has ever undertaken before a congress of criminologists to exploit the proposition that" education increases crime, not just a little but immensely."
For my part, after prolonged and puinstaking in vestigation of th.is question, I have come into a clear and settled

faith in the value of our vocation to the public weal. But also it is equally clear that teachers must come to realize more keenly that" Education is .not teaching men to know what they do not know flO much as teaching them to behave as they do not behave; that it is not teaching children the shapes of letters and the tricks of number and leaving them to turn their acith metic into roguery and their literature into lust."-Rnskin.
\Vith Napoleon's sentries at his door and French spies scattered through his lecture hall, the great Fichte fearlessly preached the regeneration of Germany by means of universal education. Said he: "We must make education our supreme task; we must realize the Platonic republic, where the wisest ruled and education was the chief problem for statesmanship. This policy must be our destiuy; our leaners must be priests of truth and in her pay; they must think fearlessly lind ceaselessly in all directions; must investigate and discuss, do and suffer all in the world's great holy cause of science and learning",----sentiment that will need to be uttered coufidently and strongly many times iu the South before the battle for popular education is finally and magnificer..tly won.

.' OFFICE OF STATE SCHOOL CO)HfISSIO~ER. ATLANTA, GA" March 21, 1900.
To the Cmmty School Commi8sioneJ';-
DEAR SIR :-1 beg to call your attention to the several
important matters mentioned below: 1. I will send you in a few days a graded course of
study which has been very carefully prepared. Professor Branson of the Normal School, aided by a number of our best school men, hag contributed this valuable piece of work to the cause of education in Georgia. You will observe that the course is so arranged that it can be adjusted to the grading of any country school in the State, and this isjust what we have been trying to bring about for a Dumber at years. At the first meeting of your teachers place a copy of this course in the hands of every teacher, and watch results. I desire also that this I-?;raded course shall be fully discussed at every institute this summer. If any detects are found, let the teachers point out these defects, and we can then improve upon it during the next year.
2. Arrange for your summer institute as early as possible. If you can combine, conveniently, with three or four other counties, or even one other county, by all means do so. Do not fix the time of your institute for the fourth week in June. The State Teachers' Association will meet this year at Cumberland Island, beginning the 26th of J nne. We ought to have at least a thousand teacbers in attendauce upon this meeting.
3. Please let me know your preference as to the plaoe and time of the annual meeting of the County School Commissioners. We have an invitation to meet with the State Teachers' Association at Cnm berland. ~We ha ve also an invitation to meet at the State Normal School, and Mother invitation at Milledgeville. Please advise me at once as to what you prefer both as to the place and time of

,"i7
meeting. I will call a meeting of the Executive Committee as soon as I hear from you.
4. I am sending you herewith blanks for the purpose of securing special information in regard to High Schools and Colleges. Please obtain the information asked as soon as practicable and return the blanks to me.
5. I am glad to inform you that the Governor will borr(Hv $200,000 to enable us to pay the teachers as much as possible on the amounts that may be due them. \Ve can certainly pay two-fifths of the aN.nual appropriation during the spring, and perhaps even more. You can at least rely upon getting two-fifths of your mom'y. Under our constitution the Governor is not allowed to borrow, for any purpose, more than $200,000.
G. Please advise me what date will best suit your teachers for the an nual examination. \Ve shall use in the preparation for this examination, Branson's edition of Page, Miss Arnold's \Vaymarks for Teachers and the Manual of Methods, which most of the teachers now have. Professor Branson has prepared supplementary notes for Arnold's \Vaymarks for Teachers. To those teachers who provided themselves last year with Arnold's 'Waymarks, the supplementary notes, bound separately, can be obtained fr91l1 the Southern School Book Depository, Atlanta, Georgia, for ten cents post-paid. The supplementary notes will be extremely valnable to all of our teachers. Branson's edition of Page can be obtained from the American Book Company, J. Van Holt Nash, Agent, Atlanta, Ga.
lf you need more of the Manuals for your county, let me know at once.
7. In a few days I will send you blanks fo~ your book report. Please give this matter your immediate attentiou so that your teachers may make their reports to you before the schools close. Last year, unfortunately, a number of commissioners were unable to eecure the data upcm which

58

to make a book report. It is very desirable that every
county I5e reported this year.

8. Please advise with your neighboring commissioners

and then inform me as to the best point for locating a Peabody

Institute for the colored teachers of your section. I shall

be able to hold ten or twel ve of these institutes during the

summer. The commissioner in whose county the institute

is located must take charge of the institute. The institutes

mllst last two weeks. Please give your earnest attention to

this matter. I am extremely anxious that these institutes

tbis year shall be attended by all of the colored people,

and tbat they may derive great good from these meetings.

Let me urge that you give prompt attention to all the

above matters.

Yours very truly,

G. R. GLENN,

State School Commissioner.

To the County School Commissioner: 1. The next general examination will be held on .J une
16th. After hearing from all the commissioners, this date seems to be most convenient to all concerned.
2. Tbe next annual meeting of the county school commissioners will occur at Barnesville, July 3d, 4th and 5th. Your executive committee unanimomily agreed upon Barnesville as being the best place fOr the meeting thib year. I enclose a slip which explains itself. Please return the slip promptly, with such subjects as you desire discussed at our annual meeting.
3. It is not probable that the treasurer will be able to make another payment before November.

4. As soon as the date of your institute is fixed, please send me the date, and the name of your conductor.
y our~ very truly, G. R. GLEKX,

OFFICE STATE SCHOOL CmrMISSIONER,
ATLAXTA, GA., June 5, 1900.
To the County School Commissioner: Questions for the examination on the 16th of June have
been furuished from this office to-day. They are sent under seal, either by express or registered mail. In such counties as have no e,xpress office convenient, they have been sent by registered mail. Please note the condition of the package as soon as you receive it, and if there be any evidence that it has been tampered with, notify me at once.
I have endeavored to make the examination short. I realize that the day for the examination will probably be a hot June day, but while the questions require short answers, I think you will find that they will fairly test the knowledge of all the applicants. There are ten questions upon each topic. Each question is valued at ten, so that if an applicant should answer perfectly all the questions under anyone branch, his average in that branch woul<l be 100. His general average whould be the sum of his averages on eaoh topic divided by the number of topics.
For a third grade license the general average Oll this examination is fixed at 75 ; for a second grade license the general average is fixed at 85; and for a first grade license the general average is fixed at 90. Examine your papers with these three grades as the limits for the three classes of license.
If any applicant should receive an average of 95, ot' above, the paper may be sent to this office for a State

60
license1 provided the moral character, experience and general fitne~s to teach have the approval of the county school comnllSSlOner. Please do not send papers to this office unless you are reasonably certain that the license can be issued. Each year I find that about one third only of the papers sent to this office for State license has sufficient merit to justify the issuing of a State license.
As usual, provision must be made for examining the whites and blacks in separate rooms, and the law authorizes the employment of such assistance as may be necessary. The package of questions sent to you under seal must be kept in the county vault or in some other safe place, and the seal broken only when the hour of examination shall have arrived. You will note that all of the questions are 011 one slip. You can cut these slips with an ordinary pocket-knife, and so can deal out the questions on each topic, as you may prefer.
During the examination there should be absolutely no communication between any of the applicants. Any attempt on the part of any applicant to perpetrate a fraud by bringing into the examination room notes, papers or books, with a view to securing assistance, should void the examination so far as such applicant is concerned.
Yours very truly, G. R. GLENN,
State School Commissioner.

OFFICE OF STATE SCHOOL C()MMISSIO~ER,
ATLANTA, GA., Sept., 1900.
To County School Officials, Commissio1l!eI's and Teoche/'s:
At the late meeting of the Georgia Educational Association a board was appointed for the purpose of selecting and encouraging the establishment of libraries in the schools of Georgia. The following board was appointed:
Presiden t Joseph S. Stewart, Chai rman, Dahlonega; Professor Eo C. Branson, Athens; Superintendent Lawton B. Evans, Augusta; Commissioner .1\1. L. Brittain, Atlanta; Commissioner \V. C. \Vright, Covington; Commissioner W. R. Power, Marietta; G. It Glenn, State School CommiSSIOner.
We desire to urge upon all the importance of this move-

G,))
ment and to push the establishment of libraries in every county. The two great worlds that should be opened to the child, which he should learn to love and live in with increasing joy, are the world of nature and the world of books. In Georgia not one child in five hnndred has access to even a small library. They learn to read, but the great world of history, biography, travel, of story and of song remains an undiscovered country. With eyes blinded by disuse to the beauties of nature and to the riches she has in store for those who love her; without the companionship of the wise and good of all ages, the children must needs grow up into lives of narrowness and selfishness, without high aspirations or resolve.
Although about 10,000 books have been put into the schools since the appointment of the first board in 1895, Georgia is still almost a literary desert. Re-turns from 3,500 schools show but ninety-six libraries, and these were confined to twenty-six counties. There are few books in the homes and few in the schools or the community for tbe children to read. Plants of knowledge, ot taste, of aspiration and of resolve cannot grow in such a soil. In many of the northern and western States every school has its library. No community can afford to deprive the children of books. It cheats them. No school official or teacher can longer sit idly by and allow it to be done. Tbe commissioners and teachers must become the evangels of a broader culture and a higher life. They must make the school the center of the social and intellectual life of the community. To-day there is no center of community life. About the child, in the school alone, can all gather. A thoroughly consecrated teacher, earnest, enthusiastic, cannot fail in this. The money for the library can be raised by private subscriptions, by school entertainments and public collections; or the board may offer to give a small amount) say $2.50 or $5.00, if the school will raise the rest. Some counties

64

may decide to buy several sets and let these circu late from schaar to school, wilh a view of creating such a demand fiJI' books that soon each community will organize a permanent library.
The new board has selected a list of sixty books, and after submitting- the same to a number of book houses has given the contract to F. J. Paxon, 69 \Vhitehall street, Atlanta, Ga., \vho will send the enti're list of sixty book:i, freight prepaid to the nearest railroad station, on receipt of $25.00. This contract holds good until the 1st day of July,1901. All the books are bound iu substantial cloth or board. \Ve do not believe that there is a county that cannot establish from five to twenty of these libraries.
The Woman's Federation Clubs, through the State President, Mrs. J. Lindsay John&Dn, offers $25.00 to the county organizing the greatest number of these libraries by July, 1901. Reports will be made to this office by the County School Commissioner for the quarter ending June 30, 1901, of all libraries established since July 1st, 1900, number previous to this, number of books in each. and such other information regarding the same as may be thought valuable.
On receiving notification of the award at the 8tate School Commissioner, the chairman of the Library Board will send the $25.00 prize to the County School Commissioner, who will dispose of the same as may be agreed upon by him and his teachers. The $25.00 list will be sold only in sets. Additional books will be found in the Course @f Study pamphlet.
The following is the list of sixty books for $2.5.00:

ATLAKTA, GA., August 20, 1900. lIon. J. L. M. Curry, General Agent Peabody Education
Fund, 1736 M Street, N. W., Washington, D. O. My DEAR DR. CURRy:--With the aid of the Peabody fund, which you are good enough to send me, I have been able to hold institutes for the colored teachers at the following place!'! this year: Atlanta, Rome, Augusta, Athens, Eatonton, Sandersville, Valdosta, Albany, Waycross, Americus, Columbus, Newnan, Fitzgerald, Statesboro and Griffin. You will observe these points are accessible to nearly all the colored teachers of the State. The institutes lasted two weeks at each point. In most cases the work was done by our best colored teachers under th.e supervisim of white superintendents. At several points it was not practical to secure colored instructors, and in these cases white teachers were employed. More than two-thirds of the colored teachers of the State attended these institutes, ilnd I am sure great good has been done. The improvement in the colored teachers has been

67
steady, though not as rapid as we could wish. We have a good number of very excellent colored "teachers in our schools in Georgia, but the great masses of the teachers in our colored sooools are yet fearfully un prepared for training the children intelligently. Our people have not yet learned that it is a waste of timp, and money and an infinite wrong to the children to place them in the charge of people who are unfit to train them aright. vVhen we consider the character of the teachers that the colored children bve had for the last thirty years, the marvel is that the condition of the race in the SJuth is as good as it is. H the colored children of the Southern States could have had in this long period white teachers or teachers of their own race capable of insLructing them properly, their condition to-day would be altogether different from what it is. Our white people have traveled four thonsand miles to teach and christianize the heathen Chi nee, to be murdered at last by the yellow boxers, while very few have responded to the Macedonian cry that comes from the black belts here in our own territory.
There are still many phases of our situation here that look ugly and are full of puzzles for the most optimistic. We are daily in contact with naked and forbidding facts that excite in every thoughtful man the gravest apprehensIOn. Our chain-gangs and jails are filled with young negroe-, the vast majority of them under thirty years of age. Dastardly crimes seem to be on the increase every year as soon as the month of July comes. These crimes are perpetrated for the most part by young negroes under thirty years of age and who have in most cases no education at all.
The other day I made a visit to our Insane Asylum and I found there to my astonishment that more than one-third of the inmates were negroes and most of them born since the war. The superintendent of the asylum tells me that

68
their i~nsanity is the result of diseases that were almost unknown'in the negro race before the war. Good men among my own people point to these things with ominllus misgivings and have no faith in ameliorating the condition of the negro by processes of education.
An inteiligent citizen put the matter in this way: "You have," said he, "invested in the schools for 4igher education of the negro in Atlanta alone more money than has been invested by the whites for the higher education of the whites in the entire State of Georgia, and yet look at the result upon the character of the negro in Georgia!" He stated what is true so far as the amount of money invested for negro education is concerned. My reply to him was, that if all these schools in Atlanta were doing such work as is done at Spellman Seminary, the result on the negro race would be far different, and I called his attention to the fact that the two intelligent black nurses that helped to save the lives of two of my children, who were victims of typboid fever last summer, were graduates of Srellman Seminary.
The question is, how are we to make the white people, North and South, understand that the children of the negro race must have the same wise and intelligent treatment, under skillful supervision of the white race before we can expect satisfactory results. The Northern pf'ople have wasted millions of dollars on so-called higher education that ought to have been devoted to the maintenance of manual training-schools for the little ,children of the crilored race. Booker WaAhington is doing more for the colored people in the South than all the balance of the leaders of the colored race put together, by insisting that his race shall make progress and make character and everything else worth the making, by training thechildren of the race to learn how to make a dollar and how to take care of it when it is made. One hopeful rift in

69
the clouds is seen in the greatly increased numbers of pe lple ammg the blacb of this country that are now following the teachings of Professor Washington. He may not be a great scholar, but he is doing a great work in a practical and helpful way to both races in the South; but it will take time for this leaven to work.
At every Peabody institute this summer manual training was stressed as never before. In Washington county, where one of the'le institutes was held, we had one large room filled with articles of many kinds that the children had learned to make, even in the country schools of the c.,unty. There was work in iron and wood -and clay and grass and all manner of needle-work ~by the girls. Every teal:her from the adjoining counties recognized at once the value of this work for the children, and we shall have in that section next year at the Peabody Institute an exhibit that I shall be glad for you and the Peabody Board to see,
If we can get this m[ nual training intelligently grafted in our school system with trained teachers to direct it and utilize it for the full and well-rounded development of the ehildren of the negro race as well as the white race, I believe it will work a great change morally as well as intellectually in the State. Hampered and hindered as we are for lack of means to employ the right kind of teachers and establish the right kind of schools, it will take a long time to get the results that we desire; but public senti_ ment is starting in this direction, and it will grow.
Manual training is now a part of the regular school work in Columbus, Athens, Newnan, Augusta, Atlanta, Washington county, Dahlonega, and in many individual connty schools in the State.
The Normal School at Athens, the Normal and Industrial School for Girls at Milledgeville, and the school at Dahlllnega, all receiving aid from the Peabody fund, have done well. At Athens we are gradually raising the

70

standardl.. and the trustees will probably add another year

to the cou;se for graduation after the present year has

closed. The Industrial School at Milledgeville enrolls

more than four hundred studen ts. The school turns away

annually over one hundred applicants for lack of room.

I enclose a copy of President Stewart's report on the

value of the Model School at Dahlonega. This school at

Dahlonega is doing a great work for those people in the

mountai1'l. districts.

Altogether the outlook in Georgia is cheering and full

of promise. We have had a great many educational ral-

liee this year when we formerly had only political gather-

ings. A strong address on education will draw a bigger

crowd in most places than a harangue on politics. Our

teachers' institutes and Chautauquas have become our pop-

ular assemblies.

Yours very sincerely,

G. R. GLENN,

State School Commissioner.

PHESIDENT STEWART'S REPORT ON THE MODEL SCHOOL AT DAHLOSEGA.
Han. J. R. Glenn, Atlanta, Ga.
DEAR SIR :-1 have .the honor to make the following report of our Model School (Peabody) for the years 1899-1900 :
On receiving- word from you that Dr. Curry had allowed us $500 for the establishment of a model school for the current yoor, we began corresponding to secure the best qualified teacher for the position possible. After conference with Prof. Branson and others, we selected Miss Willie A. Scaif, of Campbell, Ga., a graduate of both the Industrial and Normal School at Milledgeville and of the Normal School at Athens. The trustees fitted up in the most perfect manner a model schoolroom with every convenience and appliance for twenty-four pupils. The school was opened and the required number of caildren entered at once. Miss Scaif devoted her morning hours to the instruction of the children, and an hour each afternoon to the instrnction of the teachers in free-hand drawing, claymodeling, water-color and brush work. She instructed, in the afternoon, in this way, eighty-two students.
The Model school has been an invaluable aid to the Normal department. The pupil-teachers have had an opportunity to study real model school work for five hours a day. The children have kept me supplied with sample work to illustrate my lectures. It has proven the most popular place in Dahlonega for visitors, and an object, lesson in model teaching, not only to the pupil-teachers and those connected with the college, but has had the same effect upon the citizens of the community and section, the result being shown in a desire all over the county and in the town for better schoolhouses and trained teachers.

The sc~oolhas materially helped our teaching course, and next year it will be of greater use to this section from the fact that it can be more extensively advertised in the catalogue, as the appointment came last year too late for insertion in the catalogue of that year.
In addition to our pupils in the regular four years' normal course graduating with the B.I.degree of the University, and who are prepared for the superiutendence of a small locall'ystem and for high school work, many teachers from the adjoining counties have come in for a month or two with but little cost, and have obtained the benefit of what might be termed an extended institute course, not paying any of the regular college fees. Our efforts being to enable as many teachers of this section as possible to derive this benefit from the school.
Thanking Dr. Curry and yourself for your help in establishi ng this school for the help of the North Georgia teacher, I am,
Yours sincerely, J. S. STEWART,
President.

DEPARTMENT OF SUPERINTENDEKCE.
(Below will be found the suggestions of county superin- tendents for the betterment of our school system. Each county superintendent was invited to make a short contribution to this department. A considerable number of these officers have replied to this invitation. Their replies are given below.)
APPLfXG OOUNTY. TNO. 0, BENNETT, StTERINTENDENT.
OUR KEEDS.-INTEREST IN EDUCATION IKCREASli'lG.
Replying to your circular letter of the 18th instant, addresserl to the county school commissioners, requesting information and suggestions relati ve to the common schools and their respective counties, I beg to say that it appears that many suggestions could well be made. The prime need is money. Teachers should be paid in full at the end of each month. It is unjust and unfair to force them to work for a mere pittance, and to withhold their salaries till the end of the year. The legislature passed a good law when it was enacted that teachers should be paid by the month, but the enactment has proved inoperative .except during a very small period of time, for the reason that no way has been provided by which the State can command sufficient funds to pay at the eud of each month. It remains for a wise assembly to cure this defect in that statute. More money should be appropriated to the common schools, but it is not expedient to make too many radical changes effecting the burden of taxation so quickly in succession. With more money we can supply the school library, better houses and teachers, devote more time to the superintendence of the schools, and greatly in.crease'OUl' facilities, all matters of the greatest importance.

\ 86
Interest in the education of our children is rapidly increasing, 'which is evidenced by increased attendance, and many new schools nave been opened up in our county in the last two or three years, so that now only a small per cent. of our children reside further than two miles from any school. We have some frictiou over school districts and payment of teachers by salary, Loth having recently been put in force, but these matters will soon be adjusted. We hope to put in a small library in each of our schools withing the next year, and we are making efforts to build several school buildings.
BAR'fOW COUNTY. R. A. CLAYTON, SUPERINTENDENT.
My letter as printed in your annual report for 1898 embodies my ideas, and I can reiterate it in full, with this addition: It has been demonstrated to my satisfaction that you are right in your views as to having our schools taught in the cool months. I think our legislators would do much good for education by requiring all public schools to begin in November or December and continue in session until the five or six months of public schools are taught. U nti! the General Assembly takes the matter in hand there will be nothing like the uniformity that should govern all public schools in this matter. Big meetings, singing schools and family visitations interrupt attendancp. in summer schools too much for beneficial work. The smaller pupils forget much from April to July. Teachers are very much annoyed in the matter of bringing pupils back to the point in studies reached at close of spring session. With the house made comfortable much better educational advancement can be made in the cool months than in the hot, sultry summer months, when the perspiration flows so freely, nodding time comes so surely, and fleas, gnats and flies get in their work so lively.

87
In J)ly county we are actively at work on house improvement and equipment; we are laboring for consolidation or small schools so as to have larger and better schools, with a principal and one or more assistants in each school. It will be far better for pupils to go three or four miles to such schools than to attend the ordinary school within onefourth of a mile of the house. Children prefer the larger schools. I have qnestioned them and have not yet had one to favor the shabby little house with the young, weak teacher. N umbers below will indicate what work will most aid our schools.
1. Betterment of schoolhouses and their equipment. 2. Consolidation of schools that larger and more efficiently officered schools may prevail. 3. Changing word Commissioner to Superintendent. 4. Annual salaries for superintendents. 5. Prompt payment of teachers monthly or quarterly. 6. Adopt measure to supply school-books at least possible expense. 7. Fix months in which our public schools will be in operation. There will not be uniformity in this unless I required by law.
BUTTS COUNTY. C. S. MADDOX, SUPERINTENDENT,
COUNTY SCHOOLS NEED MORE MONEY.
The one thing needful to better our public school system is more money.
Give the boards of education money enough to employ teachers at least eight months in the year at living salariea, and we will cease to hear the people condemn our school
will system. Then competent teachers be in demand and
they will be found. No cempetent man or woman can aflord tq teach school

88
four or fivt'l months in the year for the meager salary 'now ofl'ered'tea"chers, and then be turned out to graze-th";;'--;e: mainder of the year. Now, there is but one way to get money and that is by taxation.
Two methods of taxation have been suggested. One is local taxation. Thii:' method has been named the "feasible method," and is favored by the wealthy class and counties. By this method it is claimed that one and a half million dollars can be added to the school fund without imposing a very heavy burden npon the State.
I fail to see the logic in this argument unless the poor are better able to bear taxation than the rich.
The other method is by State appropriation, and has been named the "bankrupt method." This method is opposed by the wealthy class and counties.
To prevent bankruptcy two hundred thousand dollars were taken from the school fund two years ago. By this act the school sy8tem recei\'ed a paralytic stroke. The State should see to it that we have as good a school system as can possibly be given her people, and no man should object to being taxed on the ground=of locality. The man living in Dade coilllty should be as willing to help educate the poor children in Decatur county as he is to help educate the poor children in his own county. Tax the people equally from the mountains to the seashore so as to raise a snfficient sum of money to operate the schools eight monthe in the year, then we will not only have a better system, but we will have better schoolhouses and more competent teachers. Then the people will cease to move from the couutry into the towns to educated their children, and many who have already moved will return to the country. Then, under this met~od, which is an equitable method, the State can point with pride to her motto and say: "Wisdom, Justice and Moderation."

89
OHARLTON OOU~TY. N. ~. MIZELL, SlTERTXTEXDE)iT.
r take pleasnre in complying with your request that I
make some sugg-estions that especially concel'll the school .work of this Crlllllty.
1. \Vhen we were first notified that our teachers were to be paid monthly we got g'(lOd teachers to work in our schools, and the schools improved more rapidly under their management, but they having been much disappointed in finding the promise not fulfilled in so necessarya requirement, have somewhat become discouraged and disinterested in their work on acconnt of a failure to receive their pay at the expected and faithfully promised time.
r would request of you to aid us in this regard, and get
the legislature to remove all stumbling-blocks in the way of payillg our teachers at a certain specified time j by the month being the best to the ad van lage of the tea0hers, as they, like everybody else, become cramped at times for the necessaries of life.
2. Our people in this county are very lax in aiding the building of good school houses, and also in compelling their children to attend school j they keep them at home llnderthe plea that they have too much work for them to do, when they have the best time of year for them to attend, when {arm work is light and crops are worked up to "lay hy." If some law could be made to compel the parents to send their children or pay into the treasury of tbe State school fund or county treasury ot each county a few cents for each day a child fails to attend school, sickness excepted, and this fine to be collected by the tax-collector the same as failure to pay tax, and this amount due from parents be given them by the teachers of schools at the end of the term, I think would be a good method to get

,
90
more f~l1'attendance of the pupils, contract made between pare'tits and teachers to that effect at the beginningof the school being necessary.
3. Our greatest needs are also good comfortable school. houses and appliances, and to obtain this I think the legislature should donate out of the general school fund to each county as much as is needed for that purpose by stopping the schools a certain time to gain the amount reo quired if there are not enough funds on hand to meet the requirements.
CLINCH COUNTY. W. T. DICKERSON, SUPERINTENDENT.
LONGER AND HARDER EXAMINATIONS.
In considering the question of educ-ation, I regard good normal trained teachers, that take up the profession from a duty's standpoint, to do some good for their country's cause, rather than for the small salary which they receive, as being one of the most important factors in upbuildingour schools in the State of Georgia.
We need harder examinations and longer examinations. That is one cause of our slow progress: having to employ incompetent teachers. A man should be thoroughly equipped from a military standpoint to be a good soldier. Just so he should be for a teacher, f9r he can not teach what he does not know himself. I further suggest, that the legislature enact such laws as will force patrons to supplement the school fund, and let it be of such force that it will prevent the county commissioners from contractinll: any school to any teacher who will obligate to teach for just what the county pays.
Relative to examinations in the State of Georgia, I think Rhetoric, Algebra, Physiology, and Physical Geography ought by all means to be adopted as legal

91
branches, and teachers required to be examined on thesame.
I think the legislature should amend the clause of theschool law relative to the payment of county school commissioners. It should be changed from a per diem to a stipulated salary, sufficient in amount to enable the C. S. C. to devote his entire time to the noble work of supervision.
In conclusion I must say, that our schools in Clinch county are making rapid progress.

ROBERT BOWEN, SUPERINTENDENT.

(2) Make the compensation of the connty commissioner three h nndred dollars per annum and five per cent. of thefunds he handles.
(3) Make a State licen~e good for ten yeal's, a first grade for five years, a second grade three years and third grade one year.
(4) Make a first grade license good in any county in the State.
(5) Prohibit the examination of teaehers from lasting longer than six hours per day, and give them one and a half hours on each subject.
(6) Give more of the school funds to the common schools and less to the higher institutions of learni ng.
(7) Restore to the State Normal School the power to grant licenses to teach in the public schools.
(8) Abolish the annual county institutes and have summer normal schools of from two to three months in each cong resiiional district.

EClIOLS COUNTY. IV. A. HA~I, Sl'PERINTENDENT.

nlpnOYE~IEl\l' IX f;CHOOL f;YSTEM.

\Vhell I became county .~chool commissioner, twenty

years ago, therc was much opp Isition to the puolic school

sYstem. The educational ideal at that time was also very

01

.

..

l'lw. Gradually that opposition subsided, and gradually for

about ten years, the educati'jllal ideal rose. Bllt with the

introduetion of the annual instit.nte and the founding of the state normal sehool, the edneational ideal rus~ with

a bound. Therefore I can, with pride, think and speak

of the institute and the normal, the great hulwarks of the

public schools. Let them, with their benign influence,

continue. Let's build them up.

BLlt although thel'e has been great improvement, yet

there is still room, and great room, to improve. The

rural people would be much better satisfied and greatly

elevated if two new studies (and they are immensely

practical) were added to the pnblic school cl1rriculuD'l'.

These studies are bookkeeping and elementary agricul-

tural instruction. With the introduction of these studies

a systematic management on the farm would be substi-

tuted for a haphar,urd one, and all classes would look

witll pride on agriculture. Bookkeeping would ,benefit

all classes alike, and it could be made optional as. to

whether the city schools take agriculture or not.

This commnnication is short, .but maybe its length will

U1Silre careful reading and close study. I am certain ifis

true.

.FA~XI;-{ COGNTY.
PUBLIC SCH()()LCURRICIJLIJ~I.
Compared with the cour,~e of ,.,tndy j'ot' other Statcs our public I';chool curriculum is VU)'y meagei'; 1';0 meagcl', that it does not meet the real need,.; and practical demands 01' the masses of our people-ofgenerallife and occupation. And the public scbool is the only school of the commonality. rhis, then, being the case, the public school course should be sufficiently ample and varied to "ati,ly in the ftdlest measure possible the real need.s and the vocational demand, of tbe masses of the people of tllC Dtate. To this end principles of agriculture and horticnlture, elements of business, elementary physiology and hygiene, first steps in civil government and vocal mnsic, should be at once added to our publicscbool curriculum. The deplorable condition of our people, the exacting and imperative detnand,.; of Lhe age, f(lrbid that these should longet' be left off tHe li,.;t. The toiling masses, the representative of the public school, know very little ofthe principles of agriculture and bOI'l i-. culture, unable to perform intelligently the duties of the simplest business sphere, ignorant of the laws of life and health, with vagne, erronious ideas of civil, social aud political duties.
In ('onneetion with the fot'egoing elements of study
should be added the principles of l'Lhics and economics.

TEACHERS' LICENSES.

Years of experience and observation have convinced me

that no teacher with a third grade license should be per-

mitted to remain in the public schools more than three

years, but should be discharged until better qualified for

the work, and that no second grade teacher should be per-

mitted to teach more than two years under a second grade

license without being dischar~ed until better qualified.

A deplorable condition exists as to State licenses granted

-some years ago, which should be remedied immediately:

Some persons holding State license could not now get

more than a second ~rade license in an ordinary county

tlxamination, and others not more than a third. If such

persons have ever been "competent" they have simply

,rusted out. No man should be the recipient of an honor

that will cause him to lie down supinely flat on his back

and rust out. Some are doing it and trying to teach

.school. Will not read a single educational paper, will not

buy a single book conducive to professional progress, and

will not do anything but supinely rust on with a State

license, shielding his enfeebled eyes from th~ brilliant light

-of knowledge. The legislature should, by some means,

regulate this state of affairs; revoke all granted prior to a

-certain date and begin anew, or require them to pass

-examinations under certain stipulations. This is justice

to the great body of teachers of Georgia.

INDUSTR-rAL AND TRAINING SCHOOL.
One of the wisest provisions that the legislature could make for the common schools of Georgia, would be an industrial and training-school in every countY,of the State, so arranged and established that when put into operation -each school would be self-supporting. Here the IprincipIes of agriculture, horticulture, the mechanical arts, and the various industrial pursuits would become familiar in .theory and in practice, and would be carried thence into

95

INCREASE THE POLL TAx.
Replying to your request to make such suggestions as we may desire, I respectfully ask the privilege to submit the following:
The machinery of the public school system of this State being as good as any State in the Union, except the manner of collecting and disbursing the money necessary to its support, and especially the sources fro m which we get some of the school funds, I respectfully suggest to the legislature the passage of a law in the form of an amendment to the Constitution, that would embody the following .changes, to wit:
I wc>uld change the Constitution so as to do away with all taxes on liquor, shows, the one-half rental of State Road, etc., and substitute the following:
Instead of a poll tax of one dollar I would change it to .a two ollar school tax. This would not only double what we now collect and designate as the poll tax, but would .compel our colored fellow citizens to pay a good deal more than they now pay toward the education of their children.
I would, in addition to the above, levy a tax of not less t.han three mills on the dollar every year for a permanent school fund.
This would not be burdensome as the one-half rental of the State Road, the tax on shows, barrooms, etc., would still be collected and turned into the State treasury for general :State purposes, and would consequently lessen the amount -of taxes to be collected direct from the people for general purposes.

TEACHERS' COUNTY IXSTITUTES. AN IMPROVEMENT SUGGESTED.
In my opinion the law providing for Annual Teachers' Institutes needs amending.
I urge the following objections to tIle present system of institutes:
1. Five days' session is too short a time. 2. One institute in each county is a greater number thancan possibly be made, in the highest degree, efficieut. 3. Teachers ought to be paid a per diem for attendance, sufficient to defray actual expenses. 4. Teachers ough t not to be fined for non-attendance, unless they are paid a per diem. I suggest the following improvements to the law: 1. Let the State be divided into institute districts, conforming to the senatorial districts, three counties holding an institute together; alternating with each other. 2. Increase the time from five days to not less than fifteen days. 3. The expert to be selected by the county school commissioners acting together in the institute district. , 4. The list of teachers attending from anyone county to be kept by the commissioner from that county. Teachers,' of course, not atteliding receive no pay. 5. The commissioner in whose county the institute may meet anyone year, 'acting as chairhlan of the institute, the' other commissioners, vice chairmen. 6. Reduce the per diem of experts from $5:00 per day to $3.00 per day. 7. Require the actual presence ~f those attending the institute for at least 6 hOllfs per day; 8. Make ,the institute as neady as llossible a normal school.

97
REMARKS:
This would, I think, secure a geueral and cheerful attendance on the part of aU enterprising teachers. 'Vhereas, under the present system, they attend principally to avoid a fine. Service not cheerfully rendered is generally worthless.
This would considerably increase the expenses of the institute work. But if Georgia does not spend more money Oll institutes, and th us fit her common school teachers for more efficient service, she had as well spend none. I have made a calculation, basing the attendance on an average of 30 teachers from each county for 15 days, and find that it would take perhaps about $250 for each county, on an average. I do not believe that $500 per county would be too much to expend of the school fund in holding such institutes as I contemplate.
The incidental benefits would more than compensate for the financial outlay. A generous and healthful rivalry would be created between the county school commissioners, and the same between teachers of different counties. An enthusiasm would be created that would be tremendous in its good effects upon the cause of education in Georgia.
The above is merely intended as being suggestive. It is for our lawmakers to work out the details of so important a measure as is here proposed. But something ou~ht to be done by Georgia for her teachers, so that they in their turn can help improve our citizenship.
GILMER COUNTY. N. L. TANKERSLEY, SUPERINTENDENT.
I would not suggest any new legislation on the present school laws more than that the school fund be increased.
I fear we will never have good schoolhouses until the legislature refuses to aUow a county its portion of money until it has comfortable houses, which I believe would be a wise law.

PROFESSlONAL TEACHERS NEEDED-EDUCATIONAL QUAL-
IFICATION FOR BOARD MEMBERS.
It is exceedingly gratifying to the C. S. C. of Harris county to report a decided improvement in many of the common schools of our county. There has been a notable improvement in school buildings and equipments. Some llew buildings and many repaired and made comfortable. We have also now engaged in this most important wvrk a 'Corps of teachers of decided ability- and fitness, such as are making teaching a life profession. These are engaged in -earnest work for the upbuilding of schools in their respective communities and interesting public sentiment in the ,great work. From such we can safely count on grand re'sults in the near future.
It is, however, to be deplored that we are often compelled to select from the ranks of young men and women teachers who are only desirous of making this a mere stepping-stone to some other profession. We must wait until t he common schools through better pay and better equipment~ shall offer inducements to the professionals. We cau say that in our county there are several schools whose principals are laboring earnestly for the upbuilding of the educational cause and they are an honor to the county and State.
We believe that it would be a good investment to equip (>De or more schools in each county for preparing teachers (.or the work in the common schools. I think this comes within the province of the board of education.
We would also call the attention of your body to the law as it now is as to the qualification of members of board.s of education. We believe that an educational .qualification should be required in each case. We do not

99
intend any reflection upon boards as now constituted,but simply call attention of your hody to this matter. Boards of education are clothed with the responsible duty of selecting text-books for the schools, and without proper qualification serious damage could result. An examination similar to that of the' C. S. C. would suffice.
Book publishers are flooding the country with textbooks, each claiming superiority, hence the boards should be well qualified in order to select the best. I might add other suggestions, but presume the space allowed is quite limited.

VALUE OF NORMAL SCHOOL-EACH COUNTY SHOUI,D HAVE A HIGH SCHOOL.
COM'R. GLENN :-School-teaching in Lincoln county has been improving for three years. Much of this is to be attributed to the better condition of tbe school houses. No money has been taken out of our school funds for this purpose-all done by patrons. Another cause of improvement is, we have a better class of teachers-mostly normal taught young ladies. The normal schools of Georgia have done wonders in this respect. There is a marked difference between those teachers who have attended normal schools and those who have not. The best teachers we have are those who have attended normal schools.
The great fault of our school system is the shortness of the term. There are only three orfour long term schools in this county, as is the case in many other counties in Georgia. The legislature ought either to appropriate more money, or make it compulsory ou the part of patrons to .supplement the school fund for that purpose.
A special appropriation ought to be made in every

100

county fO,f hj,gher education. This would give our poor children a chance to go higher, which bnt few of them can do now.'

NORMAL SCHOOL FOR NEGRO TEACHERS.
In reply to your communication of July 18th, I hesitate to express an opinion or suggest methods for improvement i"n school management when there are others more competent to legislate in such matters. I can only respectfully call the attention of our legislators to the want of schools for improvement of negro teachers or a less rigid examination. I find only about one in every fifteen capable of passing a respectable examinations under present circumstances.

BETTER SCHOOLHOUSES-FEWER SCHOOLS.
I write in obedience to your request to be embraced in yonr " annual report to the legislature. "
I am glad to note the fact that our schools are gradually improving. Our old schoolrooms are being improved, or being displaced by a new and more comfortable building. The teachers are more encouraged by the monthly payments and the more favorable surroundings; helpfulness is being developed in the minds and hearts of the children; communities are evidencing the happy influence by the interest and activity coming to the front. Could we persuade, our people that fewer schools and more united communities would give better schools and better school buildings as well as better fare for good or better teachers, we would be the more rejoiced.
I don't know that I have any especial suggestions to make with reference to change in the laws governing our public schools, etc.

COMPULSORY ATTENDANCE LAW NEEDED.
I believe I have no suggestions to make to the legislature, unless it be along the line of compulsory education. My greatest trouble is irregular attendance. Our schools will not be effective, no matter how well equipped, until the children attend regularly; and I do not believe that the p~ople of Georgia, Morgan county at least-and I do not believe we are far behind the foremost county in {mr county system-will send their children to school reg" ularly until they are compelled ~o do so.
The State recognizes the fact that the educated citizen is the best citizen and forces the tax-payer to support the school, but it does not force the parent or guardian to place their children where they will receive the benefit which the tax-payer is forced to provide for them.
PIERCE COUNTY. J. A. HARPER, SUPERINTENDENT.
MORE MONEY NEEDED FOR THE SCHOOLS.
I take pleasure in complying with your request that I make some suggestions in regard t~ the operation of the public shooIs of this county.
The school system is all right; we need a little more money to run the schools absolutely free five months of the year. Under the examinations as now required a great many applicants to teach fail to pass. Those who do succeed in obtaining a license will expect a high salary, and justly so, too. Therefore we must have more money. We need first ~ood teachers in charge of the schools and must have them before much progress is made. It is nonsense to expect our children to be educated on $2.16 a year. I

102
do hope our legislature can see this and come to the rescue.
Our peopl~ ate not opposed to public taxation. The last
grand jury unanimously voted to bond the county for twenty-five thousand dollars. Fifteen thousand for a courthouse and ten thousand for a comfortable, well equipped school building in every district in the county.
Our people are more progressive every year. They are in favor of public schools. They want better schoolhouses, more efficient teach ers and modern appliances.
I have been in office seventeen years, and it is a great pleasure to me to witness the benefits derived from the public schools. I have seen our people rise from obscure ignorance to a fair degree of education.
Seventeen years ago any sort of teacher would do. Today he must be well prepared for his work. Seventeen years ago our children and people were opposed to schools if they taught grammar or geography, because they said that geography taught that the world was round and turned over; that there was no use for grammar at all. But all that is changed. Now we are represented in the Georgia Normal, the Industrial and a great many business colleges. We are represented in the medical, dental and law colleges.
If the legislature would only increase the appropriation sufficiently to enable us to run the schools as they should be, it. would be the wisest and most bene ficial legislation they could enact.

REMOVE IGNORANCE AND PREJUDICE ()F THE MASSES.
The longer I work at the business of supervising the public schools of my own county, and the more thoroughly I study the conditions that exist to-day, the more am I

103
impressed that the one great thing needed is the diffusion of practical information relating to popular education among the masses of the people. The mighty drawback to the cause; the positive hindrance to progress and improvement; the great basal obstruction that stands before us as solidly as the rocks of Gibraltar, is the ignorance on the part of the masses of the people touching popular education.
Why is it we do not have better schoolhouses, and in the schoolhouses better facilities for the education of our children? Why is it that, too often, we are satisfied with indifferent, and even poor, teachers to undertake the preparation of our children for life? Why is it that we are content to allow the shameful injustice against the faithful teachers of the State touching the payment of their salaries to continue without crying out against it? Why is it that we are so well pleased with five or six months of schooling for our children and no effort of any consequence made to len~then the term? Why is it we allow prejudice against the negro to intervene and blind us to our duty to our own children in the matter of education?
There is but one answer to these great and vital questions. That answer is this: Ignorance and prejudice on the part of the people. The people will never feel any special interest in the cause until these are removed. These will never be removed until steps are taken to enlighten the people. To enlighten them they must be reached and reasoned with. Whoever now will furnish a practical solution of this matter will be indeed a benefactor.
Give me a people with some public sentiment favorable to the cause; give me a people with convictions on the subject; give me a people with some interest at heart in the matter; give me a people not swayed by race prejudice to such an extent as to be blind to their own children's interest, and I will guarantee everything else necessary to

104
place our edqcational interest where it belongs in the scale of impormmtJe and usefulness. If the masses are interested the legislature will become interested. If the masses have convictions, the legislature will not be long in forming convictions. If the people want a better system, the legislature will not delay in providing a better system. A healthy public sentiment at home will produce a wholesome sentiment in the legislature.
RANDOLPH COUNTY.
E. W. CHILDS, SUPERINTENDENT.
In answer to yours of recent date, I offer the following as my contribution to your next annual report.
The superintendence of schools and employment of teachers should be the county school commissioner's chief and most important duties. His work should be on a thoroughly professional basis. To this end I suggest:
1. That the county boards of education employ as commissioners none but men who are experienced teachers.
2. That they pay the commissioners living salaries and demand their whole time for the work as long as the schools are in operation.
3. In order that the boards of education may not be conuned to local talent exclusively in the selection of a person to fill the most important office of commissioner, I suggest that the phrase, "from the citizens of their counties," found in part IV., section 22, of the common school laws, be stricken out. The board would then have authority to employ the best talent as commissioners from whatever county or State they may choose.
4. That the law relating to the duties of the county school commissioner be so amended as to leave out the auditing of acc')unts and payment of teachers, and that these duties be given some member of the board of edu-

105
cation, who shall give bond sufficient to secure all the fuuds he handles.
5. In order that the commissioner's title may be more in accord with his duties, I suggest that it be changed from county school commissioner to county superintendent of education.
ROCKDALE COUNTY. A. D. HAMMOCK, SUPERINTENDEN'l'.
LEGISLATURE SHOULD DEVISE SOME PLAN TO PAY TEACHERS PROMPTLY.
It is very important that our legislature devise some plan by which our teachers can be paid monthly. OUf teachers are demanding it, and no doubt by promptly paying our teachers it would stimulate them to put forth their best efforts in their work.
The county school commission'er should be paid a fixed salary proportioned according to population of county, or amount of school funds received. This salary should he sufficient to command the best of talent anp. give the commissioner due time to superintend the schools and to faithfully discharge the important duties of his office.
The schoolhouses ought to belong to the counties; for generally, those communities which most need good schools mauifest but little interest in such thiugs, and our best, normal trained teachers find it impossible to apply their skill and methods owiug to the lack of facilities and proper equipments in the schoolroom. Besides, by owning the schoolhouse its location would be left entirely with the board of education, which is a consideration of much importance. As a rule we have too many and too small schools.
Restrict teachers who draw their pay from public school fund from teaching studies not included in common school

106
studies. .;... Jflrge portion of a teacher's time is often consumed by the advanced pupils to the neglect of those whom he was employed to teach.
Physiology and hy~iene and some elementary work on practical agriculture should be added to public school. studies.
Institute conductors should be employed by the state' school commissioner, and several counties be required tomeet to~ether at most convenient point for two weeks forinstitute work.
School year should begin first day of September and end 31st day of August.

NECESSITY FOR LOCAL TAX.
Almost a generation has passed since the eventful coming of Georgia's splendid system of public schools. This departure from the old methods does not signify radical change of public opinion in reference to the importance and necessity of education, for our people have ever been in favor of schools. Sufficient proof of the fact that Georgia has always approved of common school education is afforded in the actual existence of such schools maintained without State aid. Besides this, popular regard for education has been shown by specific legislation, enacted from time to time, for the intellectual benefit of certain classes. In the adoption of 'our present school system, a plan of generalization was reached whereby the benefits arising from incipient mental cultule were made common and acceptable to all, whether rich or poor. Prior to this the riah and wellto-do made ample provision, in the main, for the intellect'ual needs of their children. Our lawmakers, seeking to effect an equilibrium of school advantages, were then con-

107
fronted with the delicate problem of determining in what manner the poor but highly respectable classes couIt! beinduced to accept as a gratuity the free tuition offered by the State without compromising their characteristic conceptions of southern manhood. Under our present system of school law and its faithful administration the problem is solved. Educational privileges and opportunities are made equal and of equitable unprejudiced distribution amongst all classes. All citizens of the commonwealth by the impartial operation of the common school law are placed upon the same general footing. This leveling influence so compatible with democratic ideas, unifies citizenship, forms themasses into "one harmonious whole," and places all the people in position to receive and enjoy the benefits to be derived from universal elementary education. OUI:' public' school system being so universally beneficent, it is clearly the province of the State to foster and maintain it. All children withou regard to environment or condition which, they can not control, should be given by the fostering hand of the State an equal start in the race of life.
Common schools under State patronage have at length become the sole dependence of the people. We now haveno other rudimentary schools. The people themselves, however willing to patronize these schools, are, nevertheless,. unwilling to give them better sustenance by means of local taxation. Therefore, in view of all the facts, the State, through legislative action and by constitutional mandate,. should make better provision for its common schools than it has ever done. The people's increased millions of property returned for purposes of taxation this year in excess of former years show such advance in material prosperity as to warrant additional concession to the moral and intellectual growth of the children who will soon become the controlling citizens of this great State.

GRADED STUDY FOR THE COMMON SCHOOLS.
I do not think anything more paramonnt in its demands on the public school system than graded study in the common schools. By" graded study" I do not mean that regulative system that is technical and formal, and that would hamper the spontaneous activities of a school, but such outlinin~ of the daily program as would best subserve the ungraded and unformed material found in nearly all country sohools.
The arrangement of the daily program, so that order may be secured in its operations, is a matter of prime importance. To quote the Hon. G. R. Glenu, State School Commissioner, in his remarks on a graded course of study in the common schools of Georgia, the intention of such procedure iA to secure "the orderly and equable ad'vancement of pupils, to lessen the too frequent changes of teach-ers, to enhance the values of supervision by the county school commissioners," and to resolve the ungraded elements of the school into at least the semblance of a working system as to secure best teaching values given daily in the schools.
A graded course will also enable teachers to secure a working basis, and to note the pro~reils of pupils from term to term in their studies. It will furthermore serve to unify public attention in its recognition of the work done ill the schools, at the same time inducing the coop-eratioll of parents and teachers. In short, it will introduce alld promote better conditions for the teaching service, and stimulate effort for the betterment of school grounds, bnildin~s, seatings, and the physical comrort of the pupils.. These considerations are highly important, and if only a modicum of the advantages noted should re-

109
mit the graded system will have worked a most desirable reform.
'Ve can accomplish nothing permanent unless teachers will make the system practical by securing daily the best results, and so flexible during its introductory stages that it will accommodate the ungraded material entering largely into the make-up of the country school. Teachers should also realize that the function of the school is to stimulate the constructive powers of the boys and girls who enter the schoolE>, and graduate them in the experimental use of the knowledge they have acquired. In this connection I call attention to the remarks of the State School Commissioner in the manual covering a graded course of study for our common schools. They are relevant and full of suggpstion, and, judiciously used, will result in a gradual extension of studies in the common schools.
As yet the industrial training feature in our State is elementary, and. must remain in abeyance until the difficulties which now confront it can be removed. But this lack of utilizing the dormant industrious activities of our youth need not hinder the gradual introduction of nature study, moral study, physical culture, etc., in the common school course. If we can institute this much of the new education, and give practical direction to the productive energie~ of our young people, a most important movement will have been inaugurated. Leadership in this, as in general matters of interest to schools, must necessarily be with the county school commissioners and teachers. Especially should the latter study and master the methods and forms of grade-study as suitable to common schools, so that elementary industrial training, as far as practicable, and its allied cultures may follow, as logical results, this extension of our curriculum.
I beg to report a gratifying growth of the schools of

110

Talbot couqty, and increased efficiency on the part of our teachers: It is the expectation of the board of education to introduc~ graded study in all our county schools.

TWIGGS COUNTY. B. S. FITZPATRICK, SUPERINTENDENT.

TEACHERS IMPROVING-NEED OF A CENTRAL HIGH

SCHOOL IN EACH COUNTY.

I desire to call attention to sume improvements in the

-condition of our schools since the last annual report was

made to your honorable body by our zealous and effici~nt

State School Commissioner.

1. The average attendance of our schools has increased

by a large per cent., as shown by our tabulated report.

2. The grade of teachers has been advanced consid-

-erably, thus bringing 33t per cent. more first grade

teachers than the year before.

3. _There are also over 100 per cent. more normally

trained teachers in the county than there were the pre-

'Ceding year.

.

These last two facts are due in large measure to the

stress that has been put upon the necessity of good

teachers by the present administration of the educational

department of the State, the liberal provision made by

former legislatures for the training of our t~achers, and

the increased demand of the public for good teachers.

Everything points toward the professionalizing of this

.grandest of callings, and the end is devoutly to be sought

when the makeshifts and blindne~s that would murder our

"innocents" shall be relegated to the rear.

We have for years employed teachers for salaries which

-depended on the scholarship of the teacher and the grade

.and size of the schooL Our system is a combination of

the salary and percapita systems, which at once considers

the quantity and quality of the work to be done. Thus a

111
proper estimate is put on good scholarship and efficiency am. mg our teachers, and the regular attendance of pupils is promoted.
Our teachers meet in monthly sessions for the purpose of self-improvement, the white teaehers meeting on one Saturday and the colored on another, thus enabling the ,county school commissioner to attend both. These meetings virtually take the place of the monthly institute, long since abolished. This bringing of our teachers together in these monthly meeting~ and in the annual institutes has worked wonders toward the improvement of the teachership of the State.
The plan of our State School Commissioner in prescribing a course of reading each year tor the teachers is commendable. A good deal of valuable reading has been thus done by the teachers that might not otherwise have been done.
The law provides that reasonable fines shall be imposed for non-attendance on the annual institute, and at first, before the teachers r~alized the benefit to be derived from the institute, there was considerable absenteeism; so our board was compelled to impose fines in many instances. This repugnance to the county institute has disappeared, .and the teachers,now hail the institute as a great source of improvement to our teachership.
The fines collected from delinquent teachers have been invested in suitable and valuable books for the teachers of the county, and in this way a considerable library has been started.
The State has undertaken the primary education of her children, and she can look with greater pride upon none of his institutions than upon her public sch(lol system. Since she has entered the field of primary edncation, all ..efforts from other sources in this direction have virtually .ceased and she is gi ven the right of way; and right nobly

112
has she b.eendoing her work, when we consider hdw her per cent. ~of 'illiteracy has decreased.
I see, few changes that I would advise in our present school laws. As the best expert talent cannot be secured to conduct our institutes .for what the law allows, it might be well to amend that law so as to allow for expenses.
I would be glad to see some provision made for the establishment of a high school at some central point in every county, that the wide gap between the public school and the college and university might be bridged over for our poor, deserving and ambitious boys and girls.
UPSON COUNTY.
R. D. SHUPTRINE, SUPERINTENDENT.
I make these brief ~uggestions in answer to your usual annnal inquiry;.
1. Any plan to remedy t,he injury done our country schools by the choosing of inefficient teachers by the patrons would do more for the improvement of our school work than anything else just at this time.
2. It sometimes happens that a young person who fails under strict rules to get a license shows a certain aptitude and greater capacity for teaching, and does far better work than others who have no trouble in getting higher grade license. In this case I think the board of education should have authority to give such a person a certificate tu teach, under certain restrictions and limitations.
3. Such great changes have been made in methods of teaching in the last eight or ten years, and so many old teachers holding State license have refused to keep up with the times, that the interest of education, in many sections of Georgia, demands that the Board of Education should have the power, when they deem it advisable, to subject all teachers holding State license granted prior to 1892 to examination before contracting with them toteach.

This subject was discussed at length by different members, as follows:
Mr. R. M. McCaslan of Meriwether: In regard to the distribution of money between the whites and the colored, we pay our colored teachers what we think they ought to have. I hear our people say that the negroes are getting the bulk of the money and. the white people a're paying the taxes. I know such is not the case. I took my books and carried them to the grand jury and let them examine them themselves and see the amount each race got. I recollect several leading men of the county were on the grand jury. The people thought we had given them more than we did, but we never have any friction now, and everything is just as harmonious as could be on that line. It is known all over our county how this money is divided, and we. get along without any friction at all. We do not have politicians on our board. If the commissioners will be particular and let the people know how everything stands in the county, it will go a long ways towards keeping harmony.
Mr. Shuptrine of Upton: I let my teachers look at my books, and I post them and ask them to keep the people posted on that line. A gentleman said to one of my teachers on the streets one day that he was tired of paying taxes. When asked how much taxes he paid, he replied $2.50, and when asked how many children he sent to school, he replied that he sent four.
Mr. Wooding of Banks: Mr. President, do I understand as to whether we pay salary or per diem, or am I to understand how we distribute the money that comes to us, either in salary or per diem?
The President: Either way.

116
Mr. Wooding: I do not know that there is a method that woJId'apply to all counties. I deposit all the money that YOt~ send me in bank, and by their courtesy and kindnE'SS they charge me no commission or premium, and I simply send my individual check to each teacher for the amount that is due them out of the amount that I receive from you, and that ends the transaction, and I do not want any other receipt than their endorsement on the back of that check. That is all that the grand jury requires of me, all that the Board of Education requires of me, and all that anybody could require, and I adopted that as the simplest method that I could adopt.
The President: I have had occasion during the last six months to look into the books of three county school commissionE'fs where there was an investigation necessary. I do not believe any living man could have taken those books and told what went with the money, and yet I am prepared to say that I do not believe that there was allY intention on the part of either one of those gentlemen to do anything wrong. It was just simply a loose, tangled way of doing business that is simply ullaccountable to me, but nobody could tell how the money was disbursed. Well, I was very sorry to find such a state of things as that in any county. The grand jury tried to unravel the matter, but they could not do it. An expert bookkeeper is to-day engaged at $5.00 per day trying to find out the truth. Now I do not care how you keep your vouchers. You may keep them by checks as Colonel Wooding, but preserve your vouchers. Have a book that will show how much money you receive, when yon received it, and how you paid it out, and if you can do it, have the voucher numbered and have your record refer to that voucher by number. Kow, of course, all this money that we receive and payout is paid to the teachers. I do not care what method you adopt, just so you take some simple plan that will show to the cent

117
where your money goes. Now I mention these three cases. Nobody is here of couroe that represents these three cases, . but it shows what trouble we are likely to get into if we are not careful to keep our vouchers in such a way that anybody could understand them. Now when you and I leave our offices every day, everything in that office ought to be so kept that if we die to-night, never to go back there anymore, nobody will ever have any trouble in finding out what we have done there.
In keeping our records, whatever our method or system may be, let's keep right up with it, and let's keep the record clear day by day and week by week, or month by month or year by year, and when the day or week or month or year closes let'8 have that record so that whatever may hap_ pen to us, there will be no after effects.
Mr. Beck of DeKalb: Unfortunately I was not here this morning, but I have heard from you this afternoon on system 01 books. Perhaps it will do some one good to tell the manner in which I keep my books. I have three books that come first before county school commissioner who audits those accounts. They are submitted to the board and the board orders payment. The names ot the teachers with the amounts due them are in there. They are a part of the record and a part of the minutes. That is the record book. From that record I post to a ledger. I have an account with every teacher in the cllinty and every member of the Board of Education. We will say that the teacher's ac(\ount is $25.00, then the teacher is credited according to that page on the record with $25.00. On the cash book after paying a check, I credit my cash account with the
0; check to that man woman. From the cash book I post
to this same ledger. I can make a report to the grand jury any day in the week. It seems to me that is very simple, and no possibility of getting confused. From the check book of course I post to the ledger. Any teacher can find

118
out in five minutes how he stands by just simply turning to
the index~ofthe ledger, finding his page and turning to that.
There is ,no possibility of a mistake in that method, unless a man puts the amount on the wrong page. You can draw out a statement from the cash book in a few minutes. Every man's account is entered on the books just like a buyer's account is entered down. Just three small books. Every night they are put in a little tin box and locked up.
Mr. McCaslan of Meriwether: Mr. President, when yOIl send me the check, I turn it over to the bank there, I take the receipt and they furnish me then a check book, and these checks al'e all numbered. I give them to our teachers alphabetically and number them on the check book and on the receipt book and on my minute book. They carry the same number for the entire year. On my receipt book I make a minute on the margin opposite the teacher whenever he uses any money; for instance, if he goes into a store and buys anything, I make a minute to whom this order is given and for how much, and to show how much is due him so that anyone can refer to it. In the back of my receipt book I say, first, second, third, fourth and fifth month, 1900, and these recleipts are all numbered to correspond to that check book and the minute book, and there is no trouble for the grand jury to check them up. Whenever a teacher comes for any money, I let them sign this receipt, and they can go to the bank and get the money whenever it is there. When the grand jury sends their committee there. the receipt book, the minute book and the check book all correspond. I put it also in the itemized state:' ment that is made, and they can compare these amounts with it.
Mr. Wall of Elbert: I did not intend to say anything under that topic, but I am glad you have said what you have. I do not think there is any more important matter for the commissioners to consider than the proper handling

119
of this money. My plan is a simple one and is similar to that suggested by these other, gentlemen. I keep my"ac: count on one side, on the left hand side, and keep my vouchers on the right, so that I can show always what the teacher has done, and the amount of money that has been paid him. I think as county school commissioners we ought to be very careful in taking vouchers and giving an account of the money that is in our hands.
Mr. Welch of Dougherty: I keep an account with every teacher, charging him up with everything that goes out to him, and when the final settlement is made, either by an accepted draft or by a final check, then I take one final reciept embraciag the work done by him during that year. It is a final receipt for that year, and that goes befQre the grand jury, and they do not have to go back of that. That is a receipt that covers the whole ground. Then the consolidation makes but little work for the grand jury.
Mr. Dicker''lOn of Clinch: I always deposit the check in bank when I receive it. Then the first thing I do is to make out a receipt for each teacher. I write each teacher then a letter and enclose this receipt, and when he signs this receipt and returns it I then make a settlement. I believe in having the receipt before we pay the check. I believe when you send a teacher his receipt once, you will never have any tro1lble with him any more. Then asa final receipt, I have him give a final receipt at the close of the year, 1 take the receipts of each teacher and enclose them together and I file them in my office.
Mr. Morgan of Warren county: I want to say that the printed book that I have in which I keep the records makes it exceedingly simple for investigating same. I take a partial receipt, and when the account is closed I take a final receipt and destroy the partial receipt. The book is very admirably suited for keeping the accounts, and I ad vise all county school commissioners to call upon the State

120
School 60m,missioner for them, and they will have no difficulty whatever in satisfying the grand jury on anythiug of that'sort. The grand jury can satisfy themselves from my books in a half hour as to the correctness of my books, because there is in one column the final rpceipts, and in another column there is the amount paid to each one, the teacher in one column, and to whoever else in another column, and also the number of scholars in each school in another column, and the amount that has been appropriated by the board. In regard to keeping the accounts, our schools have started for several years about the last of September or first of October, and we do not know what amount shall be apportioned until the second Tuesday in January, and so during the months of November and December we are going upon a supposition as to what it will be, and we have to make an approximation, and we base it upon the previous year, and we calculate from that what will be the probable average of each school, and the Board of Education takes then what will be the probable amount of each county, and they divide that up. We make other appropriations, and that is all put in a separate book, and that is opposite each teacher's name, and there is a record of what each teacher gets on the books. Now, in order to do that, as I say, we have to meet our contracts conditionally, that is, if the fund is what we calculate on, it is so much. If it is less, we deduct so much. If it be more, we reserve the right to add to it. At the end of every year, we settle up for everything in our hands. In order now to have money to pay the teachers, our board has given authority to the county school commissioners to borrow money for them, at the rate of not exceeding 8 per cent., and the board has put upon record this authority; and the county school commissioner, whenever it is necessary for him to borrow any money for the teachers, he does so. I llflver let a teacher have any more than he has earned by actual service, and I

121
will borrow money for him up to that, but I never go beyond that. So the authority now is with the commissioner to borrow money at the request of any teacher at,any time, for any amount of money that may be due him, and whenver he comes and makes that request I borrow the money. If I have not got it from the State, I borrow it elsewhere to make it up, and I keep a record of that. I keep an ac ~ount against each teacher, and sometimes they give orders to merchants or somebody else, and so I merely record that there. I keep the money in my hands, and whenever it be<lomes due, I deduct the same. Your ?;rand jury will be satisfied after a half hour's examination of these records. They are all numbered, and there is nothin?; for them to do but refer to them. I merely recommend this other plan be~ause it seems to suit the teachers. The count)' school commissioners can borrow money a little cheaper than the teachers can individually, and the parties from whom I have borrowed money prefer to do it that way than to trust each individual teacher, and yon can therefore get the money into the hands of the teaoher cheaper than they could get it themselves. If you will allow the teachers to go to private individuals, they will impose upon them and charge them a large percentage. The county commissioners should get the money at 8 per ('ent., and I have never \ had any diffi<lulty at all in that matter.
Secretary Duggan: It seems to me that any ordinary business man ought to be able to handle these accounts. While these matters are important, it occurs to me that the second topic under this theme is of a very great deal more importance than this one, and one that might be more profitably discussed.
Mr. Fitzpatrick of Twigg county: It seems to me that this matter is of more importance than Mr. Duggan thinks. Every commissioner has his own system of keeping these accounts, and I would like to see a system adopted in thi!'

122
State for'thl!'commissioners to be governed by in keeping-' their accounts. I would like to 15ee that as one of the results of our meeting.
Secretary Duggan: I believe I urged that very thing four years ago before this convention, but if this co nvention wouB adopt some uniform method, there would be some' things adopted on that line.
The President: Before you go to the second topic, I want to call your attention to the method that many of you use in filling out these itemized statements. Teachers and other folks come into my office there in Atlauta to examine your statements. They will take five of these statements that you send me during the year, and try to see what a certain teacher has received during the year through those five statements. Now it seems to me that that ought to be done' very readily. In most cases it has been done very readily,. but some of you have not seen the importance in followingthe directions in this statement. The first column is for the amount that is due. At the beginning of your schoo], you put the amount due. Now that is all right. There is never any trouble about the first statement. When the second statement comes, and you were not able to pay up that amount in full, you did not' enter in the second statement the amount that was due and unpaid on that second statement. Now that may be a little trouble to you, but if YOUi will'follow the statements according to the directions, you will save yourselves and me a great deal of trouble, and I can then tell in my office in Atlanta just what any teacher has received when they come there with complaints; and they come there with complaints from every county in the State; or, if not, to see if you have reported the amount of money that they have received. If you will just realize now the importance of keeping the statements clear, I think we will make a record in the statements that you send me that will make an answer to anybody and everybody that

123
will come. Some of you fill out these lists that way, and if you start with the name Adams, 'say Adams is No.1 on the five lists, and if Adams comes there to my office complaining that his contract calls for so much money, and that he has received only so much, then I can turn to your statements and answer that fellow in two minutes and a half if that statement is made out as it should be. To illustrate ~ Here is Adams, who comes with a complaint, and I take your five statements, and say here is the money you drew for him. The first time I note you could not pay him ill fnll, but here is the percentage you paid him. In the next report you show him the balance due him, and in that report the money was sent him to pay him in full, and that statement will show that he was paid in full. If yon find that this statement is not exactly what you want, and if you can make up a better one for me, I will thank you to do it. I want these statements to bhow a correct record of onr financial transactions. Now, if you will observe those two or three things to which I have called your attention, and keep No.2 No.2 all the year through, and so on, we will get along much better.
Mr. Gwaltney of Floyd county ~ Mr. President, suppose Mr. Adams is replaced in the summer school by Mrs. Wallace, now would you put Mrs. Wallace up there in Mr. Adams's place?
The President: I think I would, becanse that follows the number if not the name.
The president then continued his remarks as follows: Now there is one other thing to which I will call your attention. After you have paid out one of these statements, at the next meeting of your board I would submit this statement and submit my vouchers a'1d the method of distribution of that statement, and I would have my board put same on its minutes. When this report comes back to you,. it comes to my office and is approved there and goes back

124
to you with'n. check. Now then, I would enter on my minutes after that, that a check for such an amount was received and dist~ibuted according to the statement recorded on the previous page. Now I know the importauce of this, because nearly all the trouble that I have had to contend with was because something of this kind was not done. I was sent for four weeks ago from a certain county, and I went down there and went over the commissioner's records, and found that he hau not only paid out all of his money, but he had paid out actually more than he had received. But this was the troubleabollt it: There was not anything on his minutes to show what he had done. His vouchers were scattered all over creation, and some of them had not come from the bank. If this money had been paid out properly and a record had been made of it, he could have shown just exactly how the money was paid and to whom it was paid. Now, that may seem a little matter to you, but I will appreciate it if you will take either the numbers and run them through that way, or run the names through alphabetically. If you cannot make the lists alphabetically, then number the school and run the schools by number. It ~ill be a great help to me if you will all do that.
SEOOND TOPIC.
SALARIES OF TEACHERS.
The President: As brother Duggan has suggested that we take up the next topic, Salaries of Teachers, I will ask him to start the discussion on that subject.
Secretary Duggan: So far as we are concerned in our <Jounty, I, have never had any doubts in my mind about the proper plan of paying so much per capita or paying per month. We contract wit.h the teachers and pay them per month according to 'Yhat we think they are worth. We pay them in full what we contract for. At the end of the

125
year we sometimes have a balance left, and add it on proportionately, so a teacher in Hancock county always knows that he will get the full amount of his contract. The question, however, that presents itself to my mind is, how to grade these salaries. According to their scholarship is not just, neither (rom the standpoint of the teacher nor from the standpoint of the pupil, nor from any other standpoint that I know of. Then the question would arise, by what standard !'hall we grade these salaries? Now, if I could know that I was always right in my judgment in deciding the worth of a teacher, taking into consideration her scholarship and efficiency and tact, both in the school-room and her ability to build up the school, then I would have no trouble about this. But sometimes I find my judgment at tault. Therefore we make it a practice to pay very small salaries to teachers who come from other counties where we are not acquainted with their ability, because we can raise the salary afterwards. But if we contract for a larger salary and find we llave made a mistake, it is difficult to lower them. We take into account the general efficiency of the teachers both as regards their ability to build up the school and their teaching ability. We always increase a teacher's pay a little when we feel warranted to do so. We think this plan puts a great deal of responsibility, and somebody sometimes makes mistakes, yet I do not know of any plan of grading the teachers that would be just. We do not base the grade on the enrollment. We pay a certain teacher in our county $44.00 per month to teach a school of thirty-five pupilil, and if we think best next year to put her in a certain school where there are only fifteen pupils, we pay her the same salary as before. We prefer to pay so much tor the teacher's time and require her whole time and best efforts rather than to put a premium on her druming up scholars. We do take this into consideration: the average attendance as compared with the total enrollment. We

126
have som~ r~ference to the ability to build up a school, but we let them' distinctly understand that it is not based on their enr.ollment. There are other ways to build up a school than that. In regard to scholarship, we do not give it any definite per cent., but in a general way we place more value on general efficiency and tact as determined by their success in building up the school-room than we do on scholarship. We appreciate the value of scholarship, but we find a good many applicants who come in there and get first-class examination, yet make an utter failure in the school-room. But when we find one who makes a success in the school-room, and yet has poor scholarship, we think they are worth more to the community..
Mr. Morgan of Warren county: It seems to me that the course the Board of Education of Warren county has pursued for a good many year" is that a record is kept of the schools for years past, and the Board has before them the records for every school in the county, and when we <lommence to make up our appropriation, we look over this and are about able to tell how many children will attend the schools in the county, and then take that as a basis for the appropriation. Say along in October we will furnish ('ach school so much, and we invite the people to present a teacher to the Board, and if the Board finds that the teacher suits, they will accept that teacher and make a contract. If the fund that we presume will be in our hands will not come up to that, we reserve the right to decrease it. When the Board has the funds at hand to employ a teacher, they look out for a teacher that will suit them, and if the teacher will not teach for that amount, then they look out for another. If they want a certain teacher and they think they should have her, and still have not the funds to pay her, then they iQcrease the amount in order to get that teacher. We never presume to furnish any <lommunity with a teacher, unless they ask the Board to

127
..do so, and each community selects the person that suits them, and we do not have much reference to the scholarship. Each community is going to get the best :'!cholarship they can, and they will get the best they can for the amount that is given them, and sometimes one community will get a much better teacher than another..
Mr. Duggan then asked Mr. Morgan these questions: Q. Are these communities ever influenced by political or personal considerations in selecting that teacher? Answer: Personal considerations influence them always. We like for them to select their own teacher. Q. You fix these salaries, as' I undsrstand you, before the teacher is selected? Answer : Yes sir. Q. Then if the teacher was worth more than the amount appropriated, would you advance it? Answer: Yes sir, we do that sometimes. Q. Well, if the teacher was worth less, would you decrease it? Answer : We never do that. Mr. Morgan then continued his remarks as follows: In making out this apportionment, I invariably reserve seveml hundred dollars. It is kept behind, and at the closing up the Board divides that money ont to the most deserving teachers in the county, and they know who they are, and they will place a part of that amount to that school and another part to this school as they may deserve it. I have never found it necessary to cut off the amount that we promised a teacher, except in one instance. We reserve this fund, and never fail to divide the last cent out, and we then commence in January with a clear treasury. The teachers want their money, and for this reason the Board have made it the duty of the County School Commissioner to borrow the money, if the teachers require it, at eight per cent. But whenever the money is paid in from the State, every dollar of that is paid out to the teachers. They get every dollar of that free of any

128
expense whatever. But of course this money that is borrowed, th~y'have got to pay the expense incidental thereto.
Mr. Daniel of Henry county: It has been our custom for the last few years to pro rate in both ways. That is, we salary mo~e colored teachers than we pro rate white teachers. We believe every workman is worthy of his hire, and we believe that every man who has prepared himself to be a school teacher is worthy of his wages, therefore I do not think that a young man or young lady that has spent his or her time and capital for the purpose of preparing himself or herself to instruct our children-I do not believe that they should be put upon an equality with the otbers. If you do not encourage the teachers to increase their ability, what stimulant have we for teaching. Brother Duggan says ~e does not believe in teachers drumming. I say that myself, but I do believe this, that if you set me down in a school and you pay me forty dollars for my individual time to build up that school, if I am not a true and conscientions man as I should be, I may sit there and receive my forty dollar;:;, and if I do not exert myself I may go somewhere else the next year. I believe in encouraging the teacher, and thereby the children know the teacher, and the teacher knows the children, and the best results can be accomplished. I believe in the graded system, and there every teacher receives the due reward for his labor. If he has forty pupils, he receives his full pay for forty. If he lets his school dwindle down to fifteen, he receives his proportion fur fifteen. Now it has been my experience that when we pay pro rata for colored, that they suffer. We have resorted to the salary system for the colored, because it gives them satisfaction. Just as my report comes to you, Mr. President, it goes to the grand jury. It specifies what the whites receive and what the 'colored receive, and it

129
not only goes before the ~rand jury but my report comes out in full in the county organs, that the world may see how the county's money is disposed of. It has been in former years that we have had quite a number of third ~rade teachers in our white school. Last year we had one third grade teacher, and I am glad to say she has left Us now. You will soon be rid elf the third ~rade teachers and have better teachers, and you will find the work go on more succesfully bypro rating the whites, but I do not think we should have it for the colored.
Secretary Duggan: I think we should let the same principle work with the colored as with the white teachers. I did not mean to say that we do not take into consideration the teacher's ability to build up the school in numbers as well as in other respects. We pay the teachers so much per month, and we say to those teachers, "We make a contract with you now, not for so much per day, but to build up the educational interests of the community," and it means that they shall work up a better library and a sentiment for a better school house, and to get all of the pupils there who have not been attending. It means all of this and a ~reat deal more, bnt it does not meau that if you have a boy who is givin~ you trouble and you dismiss him, that your pay is cut, or if you go out and get any more pupils that your pay is increased.
Mr. Reed of Jasper county: I will mention our plan. We take from the amount appropriated a certain sum for running expenses during the year. We estimate the attendance at each school. The amount appropriated to the colored children is divided by the estimated number that will attend school that year.

THIRD TOPIC.
'r ..
SALA1H:BS OF COUNTY SCHOOL COMMISSlONERS.
The President: I think myself the time has come when we should ask the Legislature of Georgia to take us away from this per diem business and fix our salaries. This per diem business has been a troublesome thing. and in my judgment it has done a great deal to minify the work of the county school commissioners. I believe we should go respectfully to the Legislature this fall and say, " GentleImen, we have grown some in Georgia, and the school business has grown a great deal, and the time has come for 'such a sum to be set aside as will enable us to give our full time to our duties as superintendents to our schools."
.\1 wi;b. we would drop the name of commissioner and go
to the name of superintendent. I know most of you are modest fellows, and you do not like to discuss the matter of your own salaries, but if your judgment agrees with mine on that matter, and you will give expression to your wishes in the matter, I will try to get the Legislature to direct the boards of education to fix a salary for the comffilSSlOners. In some of these counties the board of edn-cation gets fifteen thousand dollars for the schools, and ;theu they cut the commissioner's salary down to less than :a living basis. This question is largely a personal matter. You do not like to go to the board and say, I want my salary increased. But we want to make ourselves more .efficient; we want time enough to do the state's business. We cannot do the State's business in the little limited time that thy shut us npto when they cut our time down to a .little per diem basis.
Now, there is not a county represented here that ought not to pay its commissioner at least $500, and give him all the time that is necessary to the real work that is to :be done iu that county. Taking the most of you that

131
:spend 365 days in the year to do your work, you do not get on an average of $500. Now that is not right. We ~re expected to do a great deal in this matter of leading the teachers and leading the children, and we had just as well go to the Legislature and say, "Gentlemen, if you want us to do this service, you would just as well give us the nleans to do it properly."
Mr. Fitzpatrick of Twiggs county: Mr. Chairman, it strikes me that it might be better to make the appeal to the boards of education instead of the Legislature, inasmuch as the Legislature has shown some hostility to the ,public schools in the last few years. . Secretary Duggan: Mr. President, in your opinion which of the counties are making the most progress in educational matters, or does the matter of the salaries of commissioners have anything to do with it?
The President: Yes, sir, those commissioners on salaries are the ones who are making the most success.
Mr. Wooding of Banks county: I think that the connty school commissioner of Fulton county is worth every dollar that he gets. I know Bob Gwinn, and it is my pleasure to testify to that man's value here. I know that he earns every dollar that he gets, and I think that, as an act of justice to every commissioner in this State, that law should be repealed and it should be made to apply to every county the same as to one that has sixty-five thousand inhabitants. The county school commissioner of Fulton has nothing to do with the city of Atlanta. That is not a part of Fulton county so far as the board of education is con<lerned and that would rule Fulton county out under a strict construction of the law. I like a salary system if it is necessary to have county school commissioners and boards Qf education. The boards are limited in raising the commissioner's salary, but unlimited in cutting them down. The law says he shall receive not exceeding three dollars a

132
day, but <!oe~, not say he shall not receive under that. I am only thinking of the possibilities of the case as it rests at the present time. I may in my county go ahead and discharge the duties of my office to the best of my ability and to the satisfaction of all fair minded people, and no charges could be brought against me for neglect of duty or for any other thing that would be dishonorable to the position that I occupied, yet I could be put out of office by these men who say I will not pay you a cent for your work. They can make you serve for nothing or make you quit. I think a minimum should be fixed as well as the maximum. Now the salary system is the best that can possibly be used, but I think that the law should be that they shall not pay less than a certain amount, and then for the maximum to be a certain amount; so that we can be independent in the di Jcharge of our duties and not be put out of office simply because some men do not like us. Now I do not believe this applies to any commissioner in this house, and I do not believe it applies to any commissioner that immediately surrounds me, but I think that the county school commissioner ought to be put on a sound footing, to feel that he is on a safe basis, and I think that it should be just and reasonable in this convention for us to adopt a resolution, that a bill be prepared by us and presented to the Georgia Legislature, fixing the pay of the county school commissioners a permanent one. I think that they should pay us according to the number of schools we have in a county, or on some other satisfactory basis. Some counties require a great deal more work than others, yet we cannot afford to do the work for nothing, and I therefore move that this convention of commis8ioners and m~mbers of boards of education request our state school commissioner to present to the Georgia Legislature a bill in accordance with the views that the members express publicly before this convention.

Mr. Jones of Early county: It is my observation and experience that the fixing of a salary for county school commissioners ought to be taken out of the 1aard of education, and that they should not have anything to do with that at all. The county school commissioners get but five per cent. on what they disburse. The board of education gives me $500.00 and the couuty treasurer gets $500.00; still, the grand jury recommended that my salary be cut down $:!OO.OO, and they said nothing a1)out the treasurer at all. They furnish the treasurer an office, and he can do in about one day every bit of the work of the year. But we never get through making reports. As we grow older, and things grow around us, we need pay for our work. A man ill my county figured out that the pay should be 7 per cent. If a man handles ten thousand dollars, the pay would be $700.00 and that is not too much pay for the work. A new member of the board wanted to cut the pay down, as he did not know anything about it. We should be paid just as the county treasurers are paid, and I think we should go right to the Legislature and get this measure through, if we can.
Secretary Duggan: Mr. Chairman, thi8 is an important matter, but I must take issue with my Brother Jones. In the first place, I must take issue with what Brother W ooding says. In regard to the number of schools, the best work I have ever done, I think, is to reduce the number of schools in the county. I do not think he would endorse that on a second thought, but Brother Jones proposes to put it on a percentage basis. It has its objections, just as much so as the method of paying. I do think that .!l\vhen a commissioner gives his whole time, as every commissioner ought to do, they ought to have some compensation for funds paid out, and in addition to that, that his services ought to he reoognized. My board of education increases my salary about $75.00 or $100.00 every year. It is true

1~4
I have a good.board. Before we pass a resolution here t(} put the pat on' a percentage basis, we ought to be careful lest we go from one evil to another. I do not know whether we should have the percentage on money received and paid out, or whether it should be per diem. I think we should ask the Legislature to authorize the board to employ commissioners by the year, and I think a competent superintendent should be employed for his whole time rather than divide the money up between many schools without a superintendent. The commissioner's business is to build up the schools, and not primarily to receive and payout the money. It would be well for the county to employ them for the year, and then for the county treasurer to receive and payout his warrants. I have enough to do every day in the year if I had a clerk in my office. Theboard of education in one county pays their commissioner three dollars per day for as many days as he can properly use to the best of his judgment, and that he should have a clerk at $20.00 a month for five months in the year, and in addition to that they send him to educational meetings over the country, and that liberal policy has built up the educational interests in that county.
Mr. Fitzpatrick of Twiggs connty: It strikes me that we should leave this matter in the hands of the board of education, and where we find it is our duty to build up an educational sentiment I believe that our board would pay us all that we are worth. I am opposed to the movement, and I believe it would work a hardship.
Mr. Brittain of Fulton county: Mr. Chairman, I never intended saying anything at this convention, but I feel perhaps that I ought to say just a few words. I agree with you fully about the matter of salary, and we all feel that a salary should be paid to every superintendent in every couuty in the State of Georgia. In my own county theconditions were already fixed when I went there. I was

135
elected to fill Major Gwinn's place when he resigned. I do not feel that I quite undeserve that salary, for as you know yourself there has not been a time in the last ten years that I have not deserved at least $200.00 more than they could give me. I am not quite certain of the facts that exist here. Do all of these gentlemen give their entire t~me to this business? I am engaged all the 355 days of the year in that work. Now I know you gentlemen do not mean a reflection upon me in referring to Fulton county. You are right in trying to get the salaries, and we should try and get this through our boards of education. On last Sunday I went eleven miles out into my community to encourage those people there to such an extent as to put up a school-house there. If any attempt were made to cut down the salary of the commissioner in Fulton county, I would leave the position to-morrow morning, because I could not afford to stay there at all. If we are to do anything in this w:orld, it should be largely through our love for each other and our interest in one another. We should have a bill passed by the LegiHlature giving authority to every board of education in the State to pay each county superintendent all he is worth. I believe if the boards of education throughout the State had the power to take an enlightened view of this matter and fix the pay of the superintendents, there would not be any contention.
After some discussion as to the best method of paying the commissioners, on motion a committee of five was appointed to consider the whole matter and to make their report the following day.
The President appointed on this committee: J. D. Gwaltney, M. L. Brittain, Thomas F. Jones, R. N. Lamar and R. M. McCaslan.

136
FOURTH TOPIC.
ANNUAL EXAMINATION.
The President: We have been requested to discuss the annual examination, and I will ask Mr. Lamar of Baldwin county to open the discussion.
Mr. Lamar: I have been requested by a number of the commissioners, as well as members of the boards of education, to discuss our annual examination. Those examination papers require five or six hours if the applicant is ready with the answers. We could withhold some of the questions and have a scond day, and I know it is the wish of the members that we discuss the matter here.
The President: If you gentlemen think the examination questions too long, I want you to say so. I tried the last time to get the questions so short and so comprehensive that they could be easily answered in from six to eight hours. In some cases they were answered in that time. Now I would be glad for you to express yourselves on that point.
Mr. Fitzpatrick of Twiggs county: Mr. Chairman, we try two days at one time. In case of the teacher's failing to make a grading on account of nervousness or unfitness, the commissioner could have a special examination for that teacher, and I think he has a remedy where the teacher cannot attend the examination or is disqualified by sickness or any other way, that the commissioner is authorized to examine that teacher under the direction of the board.
Mr. Welch of Dougherty county: I think that in case of colored teachers, if the questions were a little more simple so that they could answer perhaps a large proportion of them, and they came within the scope 0. their knowledge, that possibly better results might be obtained. Many cases where the women would make a second or third grade the scope of their teaching might have been better. I think

137
we should have the questions so modified as to come within the knowledge and the work and every day life of the teacher.
Mr. Lamar of Baldwin county: Mr. Chairman, I did not mean to bring this matter up at all to criticise the 'questions. The idea was that there were so many questions and they were so long, that one of the members here stated that he actually stayed until twelve o'clock at night to get through with the examination, and my idea was that either the questions ought to be shortened in number, or that we could retain some and complete the examination. So far as answering the questions are concerned, the teachers do so, and out of thirty-one white teachers I have, I think 50 per cent. of them will answer from 90 to 95 per cent. of these questions.
Mr. Beck: I do not think anyone who is unable to answer 75 per cent. of the questiom;; in one day ought to go into the school room as a teacher. Ladies who teach ought to be able to answer these questions. Weare not xamining them as young women, but as candidates for the office of teacher. In regard to examining teachers, I advertised that the court-house would be open at 6::30 o'clock in the morning. I had the examination in the large superior court room, and the applicants were eight feet apart, and they began their examination as soon as they were in the room, and the last paper was handed me before sundown. I certainly would oppose any change as to the period for examination from one day to two days: I do not think the examinations should be any less hard than they are. The truth is that the whole system of the State has lost respect for the people of the State because a lot of people are sent out who have no conception of the scope of the work. I think it would be well to have an examination, say in October, or some time like that, but I should certainly oppose any change from one day to two, and I

138
should certAinly oppose making the examinations any less hard than they are.
Secretary Duggan: In regard to the time, we would much prefer the summer time to the winter, but the trouble and difficulty that I have experienced is in securing a fair examination. I know there are commissioners here who differ with me and say their examinations are fair on the part of the applicantR, and I know that teachers come from other counties to me for first-class license, and they do not begin to get it. I tell them I will do as far as my conscience will allow me in grading their papers. I do not have more than twelve in any room. I have about four or five a.ssistants for each examination. The law says that we will employ as many as necessary, and I find it necessary; and I believe that any other commissioner who examines seventy-five teachers will find it necessary. I always send for the members of the Board of Education to come and act as assistants in that examination, not only because they will make good assistants, but because I want them to become acquinted with the teachers and to see the conditions and difficulties.
Mr. Beck: I find that it is a very easy matter to have a fair examination. I had seventy-six applicants, and I put them so far apart that they could not communicate with each other. Those teachers are scattered over the superior court room, and are eight feet apart. I do not think there was any communication whatever between those teachers. The way to do it is to put them far enough apart at first to let them know that any communication will vitiate the examination.
Mr. Reed of Jasper county: The examination of applicants gives me more trouble than anything else. I have teachers to come into my county and stand examinations there, and holding first-class examinations, yet they cannot

139
make a third grade record. Mr. Chairman, all I want is; that you may grade these papers, you or someone else.
Mr. Beck: I suggest that the county school commissioners cease to endorse licenses.
Mr. Reed: I will just say that if I did not endorse licenses I could not get teachers enough to run my schools.
Mr. Dickerson of Clinch county: I am absolutely in favor of endorsing licenses, and do not think there is a teacher in this convention but what would be willing to endorse the licenses. We try to encourage home talent in Clinch county above any other, but if we abandon the idea of endorsing certificates, I do not think we could run our schools successfully in our county.
Mr. Wooding of Banks county: I want to Ray to every commissioner in this house that I love you. If anybody in this house issues a license, I want to say that I will endorse it. I like for the teachers to read the books, but I am oppoRed to their adopting them. I encourage the teachers to take the School Journal and other books in our State, but I think we should have a change and nut give everyone the same books.
Mr. Beck: Now, I do not think that it is right that the teachers who stand a {air and honest examination and get a license under a fair R;rade, should receive a smaller amount than those who do not know as much. Now, there are some commissioners in this State who are capable of great attainment, but in all candor, I must say that there are some commissioners in this State who are not so well up. It usually takes me from one and one-half to two hours to grade a paper. I say to the teachers, now I will protect you as far as I can. Now then while there are commissioners in this State who are careful and who are
competent, i am satisfied that some are careless, and so far
as the teachers from my own county are concerned, I will

140
say that~I will not endorae them from other counties. It is for the protection of my own teachers that I do this.
Mr. Bennett of Brooks county: In regard to endorsing licenses, I knew two brothers that were teachers and went to another county to take examination. They came back and reported to me, and one of them said, that he wrote the examination out too early, and the other said that he almost wore his papers out. I have a large auditorium, aod I have the teachers sit eight feet apart, and I have no assistant. I never have had an assistant but one time, and I never will again. I had an assistant at one time, and I divided the applicants, and by some means the teachers under my assistant went through all right, which I did not understand. In regard to the time required for the examination, the applicants just simply cannot do the work in one day, and I favor having two days examination.
Mr. Wall of Elbert county: Mr. Chairman, I wish to say that I have never refused to endorse a license. In regard to the examination I wish to say that I am opposed out and out to about nine-tenths of the new methods. It is right to teach on a certain line, but I think these new methods have been carried too far.
On motion the convention adjourned to meet at 8 o'clok the following morning.
SECOND DAY.
The meeting was called to order at 8 o'clock on Wednesday morning, July 4.
The president announced that the discussion of the annual examination would be continued, and the discussion proceeded as follows:
Mr. McCaslan of Meriwether county: I am in favor of {me day, and a shorter examination in our county.

141
The President: Now gentlemen, if you want a two day's examination, I would like for you to say so. If you think the examination is still too long, I would prefer you to say so. If you prefer two examinations during the year, you can have it so, and I do not know when you will have a better opportunity than now to say what you want done in the matter.
Mr. Houseal of Polk county: I do not agree with brother McCaslan. We have applicants in every examination for State license, and they are required to stand the same examination as applicants for position as teacher in county schools. I do not see how you could do justice to these applicants by makinj:!; the examination any shorter. I am in favor of two day's examination. I believe they ought to have the time. When we hold these examinations, we try to get there at nine o'clock and have a little lunch in the building at noon and along about five o'clock in the afternoon their energy is very much wasted, and I believe that they should, therefore, have two days to complete their examinations.
The following resolution was introduced, but after a lengthy discussion the same was voted down :
Resolved, That the State school commissioner give such instructions to the county school commissioners as will authorize them to select from the applicants for lincense to teach, wh~ have failed to make a grade entitling them to a I icense, selecting each one in succession who made the hij:!;hest average, enough teachers, granting them temporary license, good only in the county where issued, to supply a deficiency of teachers in the county.
The meeting then adjourned until two o'clock the 'same day.

142
~ A'FTERNOON SESSION-SECOND DAY.
The meeting was called to order at 2 o'clock. The President: The question that we had under discustiion at the morning session was whether or not you want {me or two days examination. If you want to try it next year, and have me send you two sets of papers, that is half of the papers one day under a sealed package, and the other half for the second day under a sealed package, so that you can use the first without exposing the rest for the second day, I want you to let me know. You have to deal with these questions at home among your people, and I would rather take your judgment about that. What I am anxious to do is to help you get the best possible result out of this work. Now, if you think it is wise to do so, as some of you have suggested to me this morning, to try this matter for one year, I am perfectly willing, if you approve it, to try it next year and keep the examinations about the same length, and to spend two days on it instead of one. Mr. White, of Madison county, made a motion that the ,examinations be reduced one-third and to limit the time to one day. This motion was amended by Mr. Beck, of DeKalb, to the effect that the questions remain the same as heretofore, without shortening them, and that one day be devoted to the examination. The resolution as amended was then adopted. Report of committee appointed to prepare bill to be presented to the Legislature in the interest of commissioners: Mr. Chairman: Your committee appointed to outline a plan of action for this body, which should have as its object the changing of the title county school commissioner .to superintendent of county schools, and the payment of a pxed salary to that official, beg to report:

143
The committee consider.,; it uu wise for this body to take any action in the matter.
J. D. GWALTNEY, Chairman.
RICHARD N. LAMAR, R. M. MCCASLAK,
M. L. BRITTAIN, T. F. JOKES.
'This report was read and adopted.
GRADING OF SCHOOLS.
The President: One of the most important questions that we have to consider is the one connected with the grading of our country schools, and unless you have something that you think is more important, I want to bring that up, and I hope that we will hear from a good many of you on this question; this question of grading our children in the country schools, keeping a record of their grading, and keeping them steadily going forward each year. Now I have prepared for you a little book that is intendea simply to help you, and with the advice and help of a nnmber of ,our school people, I have arranged here a plan which I think you can follow for the time being until you can make it better. I think it is something by which we can start this movement. I believe that a country school can be graded, and I have expressed that faith in this little book which I have sent out to all of you. I would like to know what you think about this matter, whether you think this is foundation enough to start on, or whether you have somethin~ better. Some of you have already undertaken this work, and you have done well, in my opinion, as far as you have ~one. Now I want to know whether you think this can be started with our work next year, and what the hope is for our being successful with this scheme. I would he very glad to hear from you, gentlemen, if you have

144
already examined this, and tell me what you thin k is probable, and ~hl1t you think is possible in regard to it.
Mr. BoweI;l of Decatur county: Mr. Chairman, I think that book is very good, and I have disbributed them among the teachers, but I would like to make a suggestion that you furnish us a record book also. It looks like the State might furnish them.
Tbe President stated that he did not think he would have authority to furnish the record books.
Mr. Clayton of Bartow county: Mr. Chairman, you sent
me a lot of books, and my teachers say we need something of that kind, but with one little room, with one teacher in charge of twenty-five or thirty pupils,-twenty-five there one day and maybe fifteen the next,-how iu the world cau one teacher grade any school of that kiud ? They say if we can so improve ourselves, and iuduce our people to see that the children go to the school, that we can have two teacher", and then we can grade. My teachers say they are glad that this matter has been !-haped and that we have a little book to guide us towards the grading of our schools, and we will faithfully work in that direction. The teachers are willing, but I do not see how it is possible for the teacher in charge of the little country school away ont in the country to grade thoroughly that little school with the plans suggested. They are willing to work on it and do something, but if any gentleman here ha!'> another plan in regard to grading our small schools, I would be glad to hear it.
Mr. Berry of Whitfield county: Mr. Chairman, we have used a system of grading for some years. It is such a system, however, that it is made quite flexible. It is very helpful, and we are going to pnt to practice this that you have furnished us, comparing with what we already have, and we should think that it would be very helpful, and I believe

145
we can by making some changes and allowing flexibility, make it profitable in our own system of grading.
Mr. Duggan: I want to say that if I had a country school, and if there was but one pupil in it, I would insiet on the teacher grading him.
Mr. Claybn: Until we can get some force behind these parents to make them have their pupils in the school, I do not see how the grading can be kept up, but I do Dot see under the law how we could use anything like compulsion to require attendance.
Mr. Rogers: As to the reports from the teachers, we use a little inexpensive card on which the teacher is required to enter the advancement of the child at the end of the term, showing how the child has progressed, and the grade of the work, whether good and satisfactory, or unsatisfactory, and I do not know of any record book that could take the place of those cards. We use those for that purpose alone, and these enable the next teacher who takes charge to see wbat that pupil would grade, and to ~anage the school better.
Mr. Wall of Elbert county: I cannot see how a plan can work successfully when there is such a measure of irregular attendance. I do not see how we can have children to keep up their classes in that way, when they do not come half their time. I know that children are obliged to work, and that families cannot get credit without the aid of their children. That is true in our county. I never expect to take any course as long as I am county school commissioner to make the teacher a figure-head ina schoolroom., I believe that teachers who have experience and fitness ought to be judges of the situation, and I could not conscientiously go into a school-room where there is an experienced teacher and undertake to tell them more about
'10 se

146
that school, b.y making a few visits, than they can by carrying on thai school all the time.
Mr. Wooding of Banks county: Mr. Chairman, I think, in order to reach a proper solution of this difficulty, that we ought to get up a uniformity of sentiment in the minds of the boards of education. Mr. Rogers has one set of ID-en to deal with, and I have another set. Each commis'sioner in this house has the same difficulties to overcome that I would. I believe we should leave all these things to the boards of education. They will do the right thing, ~and why not leave this to them, where it ought to be? But lit will be just as impossible to grade the schools in WashIngton county as they are graded in other counties as it would be for me to jump over this house. I want to most emphatically endorse the position taken by brother Wall here, and I would not presume so far upon the ignorance of 'Our teachers as to go and say you are not doing this thing right. I say we should employ an intelligent, high-toned set of men and women. I am tor women for school-rooms, :and when we get such teachers, I am perfectly willing to ileave the matter in their hands, feeling assured of the high'est results in their hands.
Mr. Duggan: It seems to me that there is a misunderstanding here as to what we mean by grading the schools. It is not an impossibility, according to my opinion, for the ,commissioner in Banks county to grade his school. Now if I understand this little book aright, and if I understand my own efforts for the past few years in trying to grade my school, it certainly does not mean that a child is confined to:a certain amount of work in a certain time. I am as 'much opposed to the grading of schools as practiced in the ,city schools as anybody here. I am opposed to destroying individuality, as brother Wall suggests, but when I go to a school and see children studying algebra and Latin hut .cannot read the third reader, if I did not say to the teac her

147
you should not have done this, I do not think I would be doing my duty. You must even them up. You must give them an all-round education. I agree with what brother Wooding says as to women teachers. Most of them like to teach grammar, and they do it remarkably well, and some of them like to teach arithmetic, and they do that well. Now as to the matter of attendance, I do not see why it is not possible to even them up when they are irregular as when they are regular. My idea of grading is not to confine them to a definite amount of work in definite time, or to define methods by which it shall be done. Leave that to them, but have a system as to how it should be done. Now, in regard to irregulars, I do not want a class so iaegular that they are studying Latin and -cannot read the third reader.
Mr. Wooding of Banks county: Our people in my -county know very little about the science of language. ~;ow I am puzzled to know just what any commissioner would do in a case of that kind. Now, I want to say that I do not object to the method, but I do object to much method.
Mr. Merritt of Lowndes county: This matter of grading seems to be decided up-grade business. We have in <Hlr school at Valdosta, about fifty children that come from surrounding country. We take the best care of them, and we find the irregular children now to be our most regular :attendants, on account of their being classed in the work marked off to them. You take a high school boy or girl and they cannot make a curriculum. A Georgia woman at Cumberland gave one of these superintendents the hardest rap I ever heard. She said, we teachers need guidance, -and we are not led.
Mr. Florence, Morgan county: I have heard that a poor plan is better than no plan. I have recently been elected as commissioner for the county of Morgan. I found that

148
my predecessor had been studying the school system. I
found upo~ tb~ desk in his office the plans of the other
counties in the State that have already adopted a graded system. I found there a plan already marked out for the county of Morgan. The cold hand of death had taken him from us before he could put into effect and thoroughly test this plan, but I saw at once the advantage, and I put it into practice. It did not overcome the irregularity altogether. There is still poor attendance in some respects. I saw beforehand that I was going to have trouble in getting the pupils to attend regularly, but when the parents found out that their children would not be advanced on account of poor attendance, the next year they put them there and kept them there.
Mr. Dennis of Putnam county: I do not see why we should not attempt to grade the schools of the country as we do those in the cities and towns. It is not necessary to have such rigid rules and regulations. It is not necessary to have iron-clad rules, but we can have a system that is flexible, and it can be adjusted to the schools in the country just a" well as to the schools in the cities and towns. Under this system the schools in our county are building up every year and the average attendance in the schools is increasing. This was brought about by a systematic working to this end, and it presents definite work for the children, definite work for the teachers, and definite, fixed work for the county school supervisors. It is encouraging to the children in that it fixes an end in view possible to be reached, it stimulates him to study, and that unless he does he cannot reach the desired end. I can do more with a child in a graded school than in an ungraded school, because he has been stimulated to attend more regularly and more promptly, and my records would show it, and I have no doubt that brother Rogers' record will show it and the record of brother Duggan and other

149
gentlemen, and I would encourage eyery county school commissioner to adopt it.. Our system is not perfect, and we do not expect to have it perfect, but we are perfecting it every year, and we hope to get it perfect after awhile. If the commissioners would get the graded system adopted it would tend towards increasing their salaries, as well as improving their schools. My d('finition of the graded system is that it is a definite fixed work to be done in a certain length of time, and it is a reasonable length of time, and any child that is reasonably intelligent can do well under it.
Mr. Florence: I do not see how we can accomplish anything without some plan, some ideal to work to. Our plan is something of the ideal that we strive to do something by. The plan of study as outlined in this little pamph let I think is an excellent one. I read it over, and I like it better because it is more suitable to the schools of the present time. Some of the teachers have no experience and have no idea of what good school work is, and a course ot study will do much for them, and as superintp.ndent of the schools I tryto get them to improve upon it, and make such suggestions to them by which they can better their work. If I have no plan, I cannot expect to make any improvement whatever.
The President: I am going to ask you gentlemen to put this little book in the hands of the teachers and ask them to do what they can with it, and next year when we meet we can see what you get out of it.
Mr. Gwaltney, of Floyd county, offered the following resolution, which was adopted:
Whereas, The State School Commissioner has caused to be prepared and has distributed to the County School Commissioners a course of study for the common schools looking to a graded system of schools; therefore be it

150
Re80lve~-';,
1st, That we heartily endorse, the ends at which he aims, 2nd, That we will distribute among our teachers tbe pamphlet containing the course, and, by encouraging its nse, will attempt to give a fair test to the system proposed. Mr. Pollok, of Mercer University, was present, and being called upon by the president for a speech, responded as follows: Mr. Chairman: It is a great pleasure for me to meet you gentlemen here. It renews my interest in the work. It renews my appreciation of the difficulties, which confront' us in our effort to organize, to systematize and put upon a better and more desirable basis the work of onr common schools. As I take up some feature~ of our work, and as I am inclined at times to emphasize some difficulties and obstacles, I am inclined to be just a little despondent. But when I look upon this splendid gathering this afternoon, and compare the interest in common school work in our State now to what it was ten years ago, there is every reason for hope, and I rejoice that there is a large degree of intelligence now in the common school work of the State, a larger degree of intelligence among those who teach, and a much larger degree of intelligence among those who direct it. I rejoice as I think of the conditions today as compared with what they were ten years ago. There is, however, much to be done. Lneed not indiJate one by one the difficulties in the way. We know what they are. We are pioneers in the work, and some day in the years to come the names of the men who are before me now will be put down on the educational records of our State as pioneers in the great movement which finally will be realized. It is rather a strange thing that until after the war we practically did nothing in common school education. In

151
New England they began at the beginning; in Arkansas they had common schools and let higher education take care of itsel There is not a university or a college under State control in the New England and Middle States, not one. In the South, on account of peculiar conditions, it seems that the State Universities were established in all the Southern States. Provision was' made in the South early for the education of the few, but little provision was made for the education of the many. In the Middle and New England States provision was made early for the education of the many, and no provision made for the education of the few.
We are under the difficulty again of maintaining two school systems, t.he cost of the superintendents being the only difference in the salaries. We must maintain our institutions of higher learning-two systems of common school education, where the people of the North must maintain only the system of common school education, the institution of higher learning being maintained by private corporations or the result of denominational influence and support. That is the difficulty in the South. We know how great it is to maintain two systems of common school education. And so there are a great many difficulties that exist in this great and hopeful field of the common school. This is the work that must be done before the child can step upward. This is the foundation work. Of course it is understood that there is no provision made in our State for secondary or higher school. Our educational life has been such that no provision has been made for the secondary education. There is certainly more reason for the State to support a system of high schools then there is to support a State University; yet by law we are prohibited in the State of Georgia.
There are many difficulties in this field for a secondary school, and these difficulties exist in the main because the

152
difficultie~ in:, the common school have not been worked out to a satisfactory result. The secondary schools are not well related to the schools below them, and again the secondary schools are not well related to the institutions of higher learning above them. That is something that we must continue to work for in order to effect them. There are many difficulties in this field, and little by little in our State educational gathering we are going to have a distinct branch for that work. High school teachers, teachers of secondary schools are beginning to study their problems, problems that relate to the schools below them and to the schools above them. There are difficulties in the field of higher learning. Those difficulties are the result of conditions. No one is responsible for the ponditions except that the things happen as they are. The State University was established, and for years and years it did a splendid work before Emory and Mercer came into existence; but Emory and Mercer must exist. These are questions that require the statesmanship of our State to settle upon an equitable and just basis, not questions of prejudice, but questions of statesmanship. No such questions exist in the North, in the New England States. In the New England and Middle States they do not raise a cry as to what the duties of the State are towards a denominational institution. I failed to mention that on account of this industrial age there are industrial and technological schools in the Middle and New England States supported by the States.
What are the relations in Georgia? They are simply these: What shall be the relation of the State towards an institution like Emoryand like Mercer-in other words, shall the college endowment be taxed? shall the apparatus in these institutions be taxed? And again, what are the relations to private institutions such as Cox College and Shorter College? These are questions not for prejudice, but they are questions for statesmanship. But here we

153
are, with a university owned, controlled and supported by the State, and a great denomination establishing an instition here and another there. How shall we be related? In the West it is a system of State institutions, as we all know, from the bottom. It is hardly possible that the West will ever have to face the question in higher education as to what the relation of the State should be to an institution that is owned and controlled by a foreign corporation or a denomination. So I say this, to-day, that the great question in higher education is a question that is peculiar to the South.
We are to determine in the South in the conrse of years to come whether we shall develop higher education according tothe New England and Middle States idea, or whether we shall develop according to the Western idea. It is hardly possible, in my judgment; unless you are exceedingly wise and statesmanlike, for the unequal balance between State institutions supported by the State and an institution like Emory and Mercer to live and prosper side by side. So the South hae on it the peculiar question of a call for such statesmanship that it will enable us to decide what these relations should be according to justice and equity, and what they should not be. I do not take a position in the matter, but I am here to say that it is the question. That is all. So that the call for statesmanship, the call for self-saerifice, the field of higher education, with its peculiar problems in the South-these things, together with our peculiar conditions, the two races in the South, and together with our industrial education, these things all put together, make a call to us to-day, trumpet-like, calling to the men and women of the South to rise up and settle the,se problems for the good of our children, the good or the race, for the good of the future, for the good of the world; and in the special field in which you, brother com_ missioner, and these other commissioners are engaged, in

154
this sacr~d ~,nd marvelously rich field of the common school education, in this field of your labors, I could not do less than to ask' the blessing and the guidance of the Almighty God upon your labors. (Applause.)
LOCAL' TAXATION.
The President: We now have before us the discussion of local taxation, the securing of a local tax to increase our school fund. Personally I believe the time has come for us to press the matter, and if you feel about that as I do, if you feel its importance as I do I am sure you will not fail to press that matter at home. From now on we will have to rely on raising the balance of the money we need in our home county. If we can get the counties to raise one-fourth as much money, or onefifth as much money; if you will take up this matter and go to your grand juries and go to your people, and go to your man that comes to represent you in the legislature, I believe that we can move on and upward from the beginning of this new century.' I wish I could carry the convictions that I have to everyone of you on that question. I am as firmly satisfied on that as I am that I stand here and talk to you to-day, that additional school supp1ie~ and additional school funds and additional school resources must be raised out of the folks at home. Out of that money the salary of every man of you could be increased,. and one good high school could be established in every county that you represent, and that is just what we need; and I really believe, fellow commissioners, that we need that to-day worse than anything else, so that when our boys want to prepare to go off to college they will have an opportunity to do so.
In this matter of local taxation, I would be satisfied with a modest amount. If you will take hold of this matter

155
and push it by adding to the school fund which the State supplies an amount that will make a six months' school instead of a five months' school, and increase your pay S:lthat you can give your whole time to this matter, that will mean a great thing for Georgia. I hope the day will come when we can say to these commissioners, your time belongs to the people in leading these school teachers and pupils up into a larger and better room. The only way you are going to accomplish this, the best work of which you are capable of doing, is to have your hands untied and your feet free, and your going out among these people and appealing to them, and giving your time and your effortsentirely to this work, and you cannot do your work with- . out more money. Everyone of us must realize on this question that he must be a leadel' in this movement, and you need most to go to your people and your grand jury and say, "I want to be more efficient, I want my school systems to reach more of our children, I want better school-houses, I want better facilities everywhere, and yet I am handicapped and hedged in because I have not the money to do this work that you have assigned for me." This money will go right back into the pockets of the people. It will simply be put in circulation in the (Jaunty, and it goes in a large measure to the white people of yourcounty.
I do not believe we are going to build a school system such as our system ought to be without doing this work. I say we must move in this matter if we are going to do our duty. Now, if you want to discus this question this afternoon I would like to hear some of you say what yOIl propose to do about it.
Mr. Dennis, of Putnam: In our county at one time we were all nearly ready to take that step, but some of the people in the county said they were paying tax on theirproperty in the country and they were paying taxes all

156
their t<t,wn,property to support that special system, and the whole matter then dropped through. The hard times came on soon after that, and we have not been able to do anything with it since. Under the present law, however, it is almost an impossibility for a county to muster up threefourths of its qualified voters. There are so many people who are so absolutely indifferent in the matter that they do not care to put themselves to the trouble to go there to vote. They have no children, or no interest in the matter, and they do not care to go there to vote. But wita the towns already separated from the counties under a special system of its own, and the county left by itself, and to vote by itself, I do not believe that it can be done.
Mr. Wright, of Newton County: I would like to present this question, and there is not a more important question, in my judgment, that confronts the county school commissioners and the counties of Georgia and the people of Georgia today than this one matter of local taxation. I believe if I were to ask the county school commissioners present, how many of you will run your schools this year from the public lund six months, Ido not believe half of the county school commissioners here would raise their hands. As is shown, there is only one or two of you that do that. Out of the 27 white schools in my county during the last few years they have all taught five months except one, and the people in that section were sick and could not go to school. My schools have run five months, and out of the 1,000 children who entered the schools only 9(10 went five months. If my schools ran six months, I would make the same high average that I am making now. If we will make it six months, our children will go to school more, and in five years we can make it seven months, and in five more yearR we can make it eight months. Any man in our county who has ten children can send those

157
ten children to school one month by paying only one dollar.
Mr. Wall, of Elbert: Mr. Chairman, I wish to state that I endorse fully the speech that you have just made, and also the speech of Mr. Wright, and I wish to state that Elberton is now agitating that local tax.
Mr. Griffith, of Haralson County: I am heartily in favor of local taxation, and in 1898 I went before our grand jury and worked with them until they recommended local taxation by a vote of 21 against 2. At the (ollowing term of the court in 1899 it was again recommended by a vote of 22 against 1. I asked the honorable school commissioner to come out and make a speech to our citizens, and he came out and delivered one of his best aud most eloquent addresses in favor of local taxation, and there was but one man that opposed it, and he was a Methodist and fell from grace. I took the time and went to these school- houses, and I labored with the people as much as I could, and I undertook to meet the people, but our political bosses took up the matter and worked up a spirit against it and voted it down.
The meeting adjourned to meet at 8 o'clock the following morning.
THIRD DAY.
THURSDAY MORNING, July 5th.
The meeting was called to order at 8 o'clock. Mr. Wall, of Elbert made a motion that the chair appoint a committee to prepare suitable memorial to the county school commissioners who died during the past year. This motion was adopted, and the president appointed on the committee Mr. Wall, Mr. Dozier and Mr. Smith, with instructions to send the memorials to the president

158
within tlle next six weeks in order that they may be incorporated in the printed proceedings.
Mr. Shltptrine, of Upson made a motion that the selection of a place to hold the next annual meeting be taken up and decided.
Mr. Grant, of Habersham, offered an amendment to the motion, that the time for holding the next meeting be also determined.
The motion as amended was then adopted. The matter of place to hold the next meeting was then taken up, and cordial invitations were extended by Athens, Valdosta, Bainbridge, Atlant.a, Demorest, Tennille, Cumberland Island, Hartwell, Tifton and Macon. The greatest contest was between Valdosta and Macon, and when it was put to a vote, the reeuIt stood 18 for Valdosta and 26 for Macon. Macon was then decided upon as the place to hold the next annual meeting. The time for holding the next meet.in~ was then taken up, and a motion was made that the association next meet on the second Tuesday in May, 1901. This motion was amended, however, to the effect that the association meet some time in May, 1901, the ~xact date to be left for the Executive Committee to determine.
EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE.
The newly appointed Executive Committee stood as follows:
G. R. Glenn, Chairman. M. L. Duggan, Secretary. R. N. Lamar, of Baldwin County. T H. Dozier, of Clarke County. W. B. Merritt, of Lowndes County. The time for holding the examination of teachers was next discussed at some length by the members, but a mo-

159
iion prevailed to lay the whole matter upon the table and to leave the selection of the date to the State School Com\missioner.
Dr. Russell H. Conwell, the noted lecturer, being pres-ent at this session, was calleel upon by the Chairman for an address, and responded as follows:
Gentlemen :-1 did not anticipate being called npon this morning by you. I do not find my voice to be in good condition, and I find my mind to be in about the same {Jondition as this assocition is upon the elate of examination.
I am very much interested in your educational work here in the State of Georgia, and it is a remarkable thing which I would like to mention, that the Southern States have passed through thirty or thirty-five years of very severe discipline, hut all that discipline is working out, after aU, a measure of providence, an intellectual standard which may turn out to be one of the greatest blessings to the Nation and to your States, because in the Southern States now we from the Northern States are getting suggestions as to methods of education and as to new ideas and progress that we used to think up North that we were giving entirely to the ~outh; but it is reversing, and one reason why I wi;;h to meet you gentlemen and the teachers to-day is because, interested in education as we are, personally I have under my charge four thousand students in my work in Philadelphia. But we are getting from the Southern States, more especially from South Carolina, suggestions and hints about methods of instruction, and I heard some in the institute this morning which will be very helpful to us in the North, and you will find this discipline that the South has passed through has been discipline in the man.
\Vell, now, the South is developing intellectually into a helping position, and what I wanted to say was that those -educators at the North are continually looking to you for

160

hints and suggestions as to how best to do our work. While

this reve:t8al:'is gratifying in one sense, it is astonishing in

another. The way you do your work in Georgia, and the

way your schools progress, you will influence the whole

Nation. In dealing with this great problem of the white

schools and the colored schools which astonish us at the

North, you do it better in the South here, and do it better

in Alabama than we do it in Pennsylvania, and we are

looking at the way you are doing it because you know bet-

ter how to handle it, and do handle it better than we do,

and we are just looking to see.i ust what you are going to do,

because we at the North have learned from some years of ex-

perience that the people who live among th2 negroes know

better how to handle them than we do, and we confess that

that is the position of the country to-day. If you make

good schools, enterprising schools, put in your ideas and

carry them out in the schools of Georgia, you will be doing

the same thing for the State of Pennsylvania, the State of

Indiana and the State of Massachusetts. (Applause.)

The thanks of the association were tendered in a resolu-

tion to the people of Barnesville and to the Chautauqua

Association for the many courtesies shown the members.

Mr. Duggan-I move that it is the sense of this body,

that it is the duty of ever county school superintendent in

Georgia to require every teacher of the country school to

have a definite prescribed form of program for daily work to

hang prominently on the walls of their school-rooms.

This motion received a second and was adopted.

The convention adjourned.

GREAT MIDSUMMER MEETING OF CLUB WOMEN AT BARNESVILLE.
MRS. H. C. WHITE, OF ATHENS, MAKES A STRONG PLEA FOR ADMITTING WOMEN TO THE STATE UNIVERSITY, ALSO TO THE TEXTILE DEPARTMENT OF THE TECHNOLOGICAL SCHOOL-MISS ANDREWS, OF WASHINGTON, IN A PRACTICAL AND SUGGESTIVE ADDRESS, TELLS WHY THE FARMER SHOULD HAVE SCIENTIFIC EDUCATION-INTERESTING EXERCISES TO-NIGHT WHEN MRS. EDWARDT. BROWN WILL SPEAK.
This is Woman's Day at the Barnesville Chautauqua. The State School Commission, through Mr. G. R. -Glenn, bas invited the State Federation of Woman's Clubs, through Mrs. H. C. White, of Athens, chairman of the Education Committee of the Federation, to meet with the commission-ers to-day at the Barnesville Chautauqua. A number of the prominent women of the State have, therefore, gathered in the little town which enjoyed a re<lent celebrity in the total eclipse of the sun. It has already been said that this midsummer meeting will be the occasion of another eclipse--the eclipse of all the preceding features 'Of this chautauqua. Mrs.A. O. Granger, chairman of the Program Committee, has arranged a fine program, which opened this morning at 10 o'clock, and was as follows: Welcome from State Commissioner Glenn. Response by Mrs. J. Lindsay Johnson, president Georgia Federation of Women's Clubs. I ntroduction of Mrs. H. C. White, Athens, chairman of Education Committee Georgia Federation of Women's Clubs. Address by Mrs. White.

MRS. H. C. WHITE'S ADDRESS.
Mrs. H. C. White, being chairman of the Educational Committee of the Ge orgia Federation of Women's Clubs, was one of the prominent persons on the program. Mrs. 'White made a strong plea for the admission of women into both the University of Georgia and the textile department of the Technological School.
Among other thin~s, she said: "Our distinguished State School Commissioner, Mr. Glenn, has kindly su ggested that the women of Georgia, as represented by the Committee on Education of the Federation of Women's Clubs might, not inappropriately-;"he;r some small part in the consideration of the matters of interest to the cause of edncation in Georgia likely to be discussed in this conven tion of the county school commissioners. Speaking for the women of the State, I thank him and you for the courtesy which has granted us the privilege of an appearance here to-day. " Speaking for myself, I am quite Sllre it is not presumed that anything the women mayor might say will be offered by way of advice to the gentlemen of the county boards of education, who are wise in such matters through long experience, and prudent because of the official responsibility to which they are held. But, without presumption, the women may be permitted to express, in all proper manners which shall give it emphasis, their great and vital interest in the education of the children of the State.

163
"In the evolution of our system of public education the school has come largely to supplant the home. This may not have been foreseen; may not have been intended; may not be for the best; but it is a fact, beyond dispnte. As by common consent through all the ages, the woman has been the prime controlling factor in the discipline and education of the home, it would be illogical and unwise were she now denied some voice and part in the determination of the training to be offered by the school. I am inclined to think it is by such meetings as this of to-day, suggested by those charged (and properly charged) with the official control of our schools, that earnest women, without loss of womanly dignity, without prejudice to womanly modesty, and without suspicion of feminine dictation, may contribute whatever there may be of peculiar value in womanly counsel to the upbuilding and sustenance of our schools.
ADMIT WOMEN TO UNIVEltSITY.
"If it shall please you, gentlemen, to give us audience, we shall appreciate your courtesy; if we can aid you in your official labors, we shall be most grateful. There are ladies present who have given time and thought to the consideration of special phases of school work. These I shall ask to favor us with brief discussions of special topics. Because of special environment my personal observations of the working of our system of public education have, naturally, been confined chiefly to the capstone of the system, our institution of highest learning, the State University.
" As to this, first of all, I am sure you will not conside.r it indelicate if I pronounce an emphatic conviction of the genuineness, the thoroughness, the large scope and the most admirable character of the education given in all the varied departments of that truly great institution, which should be, and doubtless is, the pride and hope of every cultured

164
Georgian~~s you very well know, one of the questions now engaging public attention, and one in which many women are deeply interested, is that of the admission of 'women to the University proper and certain of its branches from which they are now excluded. This question should be and must be determined, not in the light of sentiment, sentimentality or chivalrous concession, but in the light of what is best and wisest for all the people of the entire "commonwealth. Without discussing the relative capacities "Of men and women for higher culture (if differences there :be) it is quite certain that, with the growth and progress "Of our schools, provision must eventually, if not immediately, be made in our public system for the higher education of women.
C'O-EDL'"CATION AS ECONOMICAL.
" That co-education of men and women in one and the same institution is economic goes, of course, without saying. Whetherit is practicable and wise, without detriment to character (the formation of which is, at last, the object of all true education) must depend upon the conditions which obtain -or which may be established as suitable and proper, in each particular case. Before a decision is reached, careful examination and study should, therefore, be given to each particular case.
" I express an opinion founded upon careful inquiry and observation when I say that women might be .immediately admitted to the textile department of the Technological branch of the University without difficulty, danger, embarrassment or greatly increased cost to the State. So far ;as the University proper is concerned-and I now speak as -one who should, and does have knowledge-I am also of the opinion that proper and judicious arrangements might easily be made, and at no serious cost, by which many women .could share with the young men of the State in the

165
intellectual life and training of the institution. This is not the time or place to enter into a statement of details upon which this belief is founded, but I can assure you that it is neither lightly formed nor idly expressed.
" It is not to be expected that this particular question shall receive much or special consideration on this occasion. Indeed it may be-and is-a matter which most of those here present consider as entirely beyond their province. My apology for introducing it is, in part, my personal familiarity with certain essential features of the question and, in part, my conviction that it must have consideration in all discussions looking to the unifying and perfecting of our State system of education. And should our scheme of public education be unified and perfected; be made continuous-in its opportunities at least-for all the childr~n, boys and girls; from the kindergarten to the university-I doubt not that you and I and all who are concerned with it in any of its phases, will be the stronger, the wiser, the more enthusiastic, and the ,more hopeful because of the sympathy, the helpfulness and the strength of fellowship which spring from a complete and mighty organization, animated by a common purpose and working to a common end. H we can serve you, gentlemen, by hearty co-operation, unselfish labor, and sincerest sympathy, command us."
MISS ANDREWS' ADDRESS.
Miss E. F. Andrews was another speaker whose reputation and subject made her oue of the interesting figures in the exercises.
She began her address on " What Education Can Do for the Farmer" by reference to a newspaper statement that a large propo..rtion of the inmates of lunatic asylums are farmers' wives and daughters, who have been made crazy by the monotony of country life. ' The real trouble is not the

166
monotonj o(,the country, but the lack of education to appreciate the glorious beauty and variety of nature around them.
"Education is considered necessary for all other professions," continued Miss Andrews, "but anybody is good enough for a farmer who is not fit for anything else. It is this low view of farm life that has made' The Man With the Hoe' a brother to the ox, and caused him to be the subject of the most pathetic poem of the century.
" The farmer himself is partly responsible for this state of affairs. He looks upon science with suspicion as something visionary and impractical, and thinks common sense all that is necessary.
" Common sense alone is not enough. A man may have the best eyes in the world, but if you shut him up' in the dark he is no better off than the blind; and so common sense, if you shut it up iIi the darkness of ignorance, is little better off than the fool in his folly.
WHAT THE FARMER SHOULD KNOW.
"The special training of the farmer should include a thorough knowledge of at least three branches of science: geology, botany and the science of health. Under the last are to be included not merely the general laws of physiology and hygiene, but of cooking and the chemistry of foods. There is immense economic waste in fad cookery. Georgia farm children ought to be the healthiest and rosiest in the world; as a matter of fact, are generally pale, sallow and starved-looking. Variety is as necessary to healthful diet as is abundance. A child may be physiologically starved and yet gorged to repletion. There are 60 elements in our bodies, and food must contain all."
Miss Andrews gave a picture of an experience in housekeeping one summer with the family of a country clergyman whose wife was a scientific cook, and a night on a

167
mountain farm, where the wife also did her own cooking, but not scientifically. An amusing contrast was given of the way in which the two women made up bread.
" Cooking," said Miss Andrews, " is no drudgery, but a beautiful and dainty art when done scientifically and in a comfortable, well-kept kitchen.
WHY GEORGIA'S HILLS ARE RED.
"Geology is important for the farmer. He should know something about the formation and composition of the soil he lives upon. Why, for instance, are the 'Old Red Hills 'Of Georgia' red instead of blue or green or white? And the answer makes us love them better: they are red because the strength of iron is in them.
"The effect of the dip and trend of the strata upon the preservation and dL'ainage of soils is important to the farmer. A farmer with more common sense than knowledge places his well so that all the drainage from his house and his stable seeps into it, and then, when two or three of his family are carried off by fever, he throws up his hands and wonders at the 'strange dispensation of providence.' Another farmer, whose common sense is backed by a little knowledge of the trend of the strata and general drainage of the soil, puts his well where the drainage will run from it to the cesspool, instead of vice versa, and there are no 'strange dispensations of providence' in that family.
F'ARMER SHOULD KNOW BOTANY.
"The science that it especially concerns the farmer to know is botany-not botany learned in a string of technical names out of a book, but from the actual study of the plants about him. Besides the practical use to a man whose life business is raising crops and killing weeds it offers a source of such endless and varying interest that .any farmer's wife who will undertake to study the com-

168
monest ItJalits about her door inay be guaranteed against all danger of going crazy from the monotony of country life.
"A mere smattering of these sciences, such as is taught in the schools under the name of nature study, is not enough. That is all well enough as far as it goes, but the scientific education of the farmer should go deeper.
Then comes the question: How and where is he to get the special training needful to him? Very few farmers~ sons are able to go to college for a scientific course. Every country school, or at least every village school, should become a farmer's college so far as these three branches are concerned.
" The difficulty at present is the want of proper text- books and of properly trained teachers. Best equipped teachers generally come from normal colleges, where all the appliances for extensive laboratory work are furnished by the State. When transferred to country schools where the boards of education will furnish nothing and the patrons grumble if called upon to buy a few sheets of drawing paper and a hand lens, these teachers find themselves completely at a loss, and are too apt to cut the matter short by not trying to teach science at all, because they never learned how to use the simple materials that nature provides in abundance at every country schoolhouse door.
" How many of the teachers here present, for instance, if provided with merely a cornstalk and a basket of chips and told to give a lesson on botany, would have any idea how to go about it? And yet we have here the best possible material (if the chips have been properly selected) for a popular illustration of one very iuteresting section of botany-stem structure.
" It is the teacher who knows how to use these simple materials that will be the successful pioneer of science study

169
in the country schools, and will open the mind of the' farmers to the wonders of science in opening his eyes to the wonders of nature around him."
TO-NIGHT'S PROGRAM.
This evening's program, beginning at 8 o'clock, will be as follows:
Welcome from Chautauqua Association. Welcome from Shakespeare Club, Barnesville, Mrs.. A. M. Lambdin. Address by Mrs. J. Lindsay Johnson. A talk introducing the work of the Industrial Committee, Mrs. J. K. Ottley. Address: subject, "Legislative Interests of the Industrial Committee," Mrs. Edward T. Brown. " My First Biennial." Mrs. A. O. Granger. Music will be interspersed through the program.
NIGHT MEETING.
COMMISSIONERS AND CLUB WOMEN DISCUSS MATTERS EDUCATIONAL.
Last evening's program at the Barnesville Chautauqua was presented by prominent club women of the State.
The spacious auditorium, built specially for. chautauqua purposes, was filled with people.
An overture by the Mexican band opened the program. Mrs. A. M. Lambdin, President of the Barnesville Woman's Club, gave the address of welcome to the visiting club women. She expressed to them the pleasure .themembers of that club felt in welcoming them to their city. Mrs. J. Lindsay Johnson, President of the State Fed-
eration,, the next on the program, told of the work the-
club women are doing in the schools, in furnishing libraries and pictures and in holding mothers' meetings. She-

170
stated tha~thk Federation had offered a prize of $25 to the county school commissioner who will establish the greatest number of libraries in the next year.
Mrs. Johnson's address was followed by two piano solos, H Valse Oaprice," by Ohamidade, and" On the Mountain," by Grieg, hy Miss Olara Maie Smith, of Warrenton.
Mrs. J. K. Ottley, next introduced, spoke of the work of the Industrial Oommittee, of which she is Ohairman. The Oommittee ha~ just begun its work in Georgia, and Mrs. Ottley gave the plan of those in charge. It is an immense work, on account of the increase of industrial activity in the Sonth. The Oommittee's object is to come closer in touch with the wage-earning people and to help them in many ways. They intend establishing kindergartens, night schools, reading-rooms, libraries, clubs, industrial training schools, etc., to aid them.
A quartet sang a selection, which was followed by an account of "Her First Biennial," by Mrs. A. O. Granger, of Oartel'sville. She brought out in an interesting way some of the features of the biennial not often touched upon in the papers. Of the hospitality of the citizens of Milwaukee, Mrs. Granger spoke with enthusiasm.
Miss Rae Lowe Sponcler, of Newnan, gave a piano solo, which was pleasing to the audience.
The address of the evening was that by Mrs. Edward Brown on "Ohild Labor and the Textile Bill." Mrs. Brown spoke forcefully of the industrial question, especially as relating to women and children. The modern inventions and conditions having deprived women of th eir f(lrmer occupations at the spinning-wheel and the 100 m, they are forced to seek new employments. Mrs. Brown brought out clearly the fact that the rich must give the poor the wage of honest labor as well as the gift of charity. She made a strong plea for the textile bill, as admittance to that department of the Technological school will 0 pen

171
to women an occupation for which they are in every way suited. For the child labor bill, she made a strong argument. Everything is against child labor, and the reasons she pointed out one by one.
Mrs. Brown's address was full of forceful thoughts and facts which found weight with the audience.
SESSION POSTPONED.
The train bearing some of the representatives of the Georgia Federation of Women's Clubs who took part in the program in Barnesville yesterday reached that place at 10: 30 o'clock in the morning. The program having been scheduled to begin at 10 promptly, the joint session ofthe county school commissioners and the representatives of the women's clubs was postponed until 2 o'clock in the afternoon.
Instead, a program was rendered in the large auditorium where the Chautauqua is held.
Music by a Mexican band and the singing of Dudley Bucke's "Twilight," by a male quartet preceded a lecture on "The Jolly Earthquake," by Dr. Conwell, of Philadelphia. Dr. Oonwell will be remembered to have lectured in Atlanta last winter on "Acres of Diamonds."
The morning hours were pleasantly spent.
COMMISSIONER GLENN SPEAKS.
At 2 oJclock the joint session was held in the auditorium, and was opened by an address of welcome by State School Commissioner Glenn. Mr. Glenn expressed the need felt by the commissioners for the support and sympathy of the women-their help in stirring the people and in stirring the latent energies everywhere, until the time shall come when no child in Georgia will be deprived of school privileges.

172
Mr. Glenn introduced Mrs.J. Lindsay Johnson, presi:' dent of ~th~'State Federation of V\Tomen's Ulubs, who extended greetings from that body. She expressed the entire readiness of the club women to aid in the work for education.
Mrs. Johnson introduced Mrs. H. C. White, of Athens,. chairman of the Educational Committee of the Federation, through whom the invitation was extended to the club women to meet witb the commissioners. Mrs. White in her address spoke earnestly for the admission of women to the State University proper and to some of its branches which are not now open to them. "In the light of what is best," she said, "it should he done. Co-education is economical, whether it is best and wisest must depend on circumstances. Women could be admitted to the technological department of the nni versity without additional expense to the State." Mrs. White expresEed the readiness and desire on the part of herself and her associates in the club work to do all within their power to further education in Georgia.
She tben introduced Miss E. F. Andrews, of Washington, wbo spoke on "What Education can do for the Farmer." Her forceful address was published in yesterday afternoon's Journal. It met with the hearty approval of the listeners.
MUSIC IN THE SCHOOLS.
Mrs. Annie Sanford Cochrane, of Gainesville, addressed the audience on "Music in Our Schools."
Mrs. Cochrane spoke of the need there is for music to broaden the souls and uplift the ideals of children. ,iAll teachers of music are in need of conversion," she said. "They should look on their scholars with more sympathy, more love. Enthusiasm and earnestness are needed to make a success in teaching anything, bnt especially is this true in teaching music." She expressed the hope that

170
musical institutes will be held in the Southern cities in the near future and that a normal training school of music will be established in the South in the next few years.
Mrs. Cochrane's address was followed by a piano solo by . Miss Rae Lowe Sponcler, of Newnan. Miss Sponcler won the $500 piano at the contest at the Conservatory of Music in Gainesville this year.
SCHOOL GARDENS.
A paper on "School Gardens," by Mrs. Edwin Lang, of Cartersville, was read by Mrs. A. O. Granger. "Mrs. Lang was unable to be present on account of attending a probable future school commissioner, who is less than a year old," so her representative stated. Mrs. Lang's paper referred to the beautiful school gardens in European countries and of their elevating effect on. the children. "To have school gardens is the only way to study nature successfully. We decorate our school buildings and leave our school yards devoid of beauty. We are introducing gymnasticsand manual training, let us introduce school gardens."
The symposium on "What can Club Wo~en do for the Schools?" was then opened. Mr. J. A. Stewart, president of the North Georgia Agricultural College, spoke on " What CI ub Women can do to Help School Libraries." The statistics he gave were startling.
"Out of five thousand schools in Georgia, there are only ninety-eight libraries. Oue child out of every five hundred in Georgia has the use of a library, while in Massachusetts not one in five hundred is deprived of a library. We spend one million and a half dollars a year in Georgia teaching children how to read, then turn them out without having cultivated a taste for reading or giving them one thing to read. The school ought to be the center of litercary cultivation in a town."

17<1
"The wowen can help us," Mr. Stewart continued, "by adorninian'd beautifying the school-room."
"It has been arranged to furnish sets of books for libraries at $25, $50, $75 and $100. These books have been carefully selected and if the communities raise the money the libraries can be secured. It is in this work that the women can help. By giving entertainments they can help raise the money. "
FEDERATION TO HELP.
At the conclusion of Mr. Stewart's talk, Mrs. Johnson stated that the Georgia Federation would be able to furnish from four to six of the $25 libraries during the next year.
Mr. M. L. Brittain then spoke of the help that the women have given to the common schools of Fulton county, of which he is commissioner.
Captain Bradwell, President of the State Normal School, spoke earnestly for co-education in Georgia. "\Ve are here to-day to acknowledge," he said, "that we cannot get on without women. We have learned that they are just as good as the men and 'a little better.' If they are as good, why not give them the same ad vantages?
" W om'en who do the same work as men should receive the same pay. Co-education will not be a complete success until the same compensation is received."
Captain Bradwell received much applause, his sentiments seeming to find sympathy with his audience.
Mrs. Johnson then spoke briefly for Arbor Day, urging that at that time a few trees be planted about the schoolhouses, mentioning the benefit and pleasure that will be derived from such improvements.
GOOD TEACHERS NEEDED.
Dr. H. C. White, of the State University, who accompanied his wife to the meeting in the role of sponsor for the club women, was 'called upon by Commissioner Glenn to speak.

175
Dr. White said the thing most necessary in the schools of Georgia is to supply good teachers. "Commissioners should make inquiries in getting teachers and should see that the teachers secure the best education possible. One good teacher in a county would do more than forty inferior teachers. "
Prof. Jere Pound, president of Gordon Institute, of Barnesville, spoke earnestly for the co-operation of the home and the school. There is no co-orrlination between the home life and the school life in nine cases out of ten. Women can encourage co-operation between the parent and the teacher.
Miss Andrews mentioned that it is just this that club women have in view and for which they are working.

This is an encouraging increase over the registration of the previolls session, and especially in view of two features: First, that the number of new students in attendance exceeded the old; and secondly, the percentage of counties in the State represented by students was raised from 48 to 60.
The deportment of the students during the session was excellent. There were no unpleasant collisions of any sort between the Faculty and members of the student-body. Few occasions for the administration of discipline arosenone of them of a serious nature.
The University is organized as follows:
Franklin Oollege, consisting of the schools of Metaphysics and Ethics, Chemistry, Geology, Mathematics, Biology, Greek, History and Political Science, Rhetoric and English Literature, Latin, English Language and Teutonic Philology, Romance Languages, PhysiC's and Astronomy.
The Georgia State Oollege of Agriculture and the Mechanic: Arts, consisting' of the schools of Metaphysics and Ethics, Chemistry, Geology, Mathematics, Biology, Civil Engineering, History and Political Science, Rhetoric and English Literature, Latin, Modern Languages, Physics and Astronomy, Electrical Engineering, Agriculture and Military Tactics.
The Law Department.-The Faculty is as follows: In Metaphysics and Ethics: W. B. Hill, LL.D., Professor; E. C. Branson, A.M., Lecturer; G. G. Bond, A.M., Lecturer. In Chemistry: H. C. White, Ph.D., F.R.C.S., Professor; C. H. Herty, Ph.D., Adjunct Professor. In Mathematics: D. C. Barrow, A.M., C. and M.E., Professor; C. M. Snelling, A.M., Professor. In Biology: J. P. Campbell, Ph.D., Professor. In Greek: W. H. Bocock, A.M., Professor; J. B. Lawrence, A.M., Tutor.
12 se

178
In HistDry and Political Science: J. H. T. McPherson, Ph.D., Professor.
Rhetoric and English Literature: R. E. Park, A.M., Professor; J. M. Stephenson, A.B., Tutor.
In Latin: W. D. Hooper, A.M., Professor; J. B. Lawrence, A.M., Tutor.
In Civil Engineering: C. M. Strahan, C. and-M.E., Prolessor; E. L. Griggs (graduate V. M. 1.), Instructor.
In Modern Languages: John Morris, A.M., Professor of Teutonic Languages; Joseph Lustrat, Bach. es Lett., Professor of Romance Languages.
In Physics and Electrical Engineering: A. H. Patter son, A.M., Professor; U. H. Davenport, B.S., Instructor.
In Agriculture: H. N. Starnes, A.B., Professor. In Military Tactics: Lieut.-Col. E. L. Griggs, Commandant. In Law Department: W. B. Hill, LL.D., Lecturer; Howell Cobb, A.M., B.L., Professor of Law; Sylvanus Morris, A.M., B.L., ProfeEsor of Law; J. D. Mell, A.B., B.L., Professor of Parliamentary Law; S. C. Benedict, M.D., Professor of Medical Jurisprudence; J. H. T. McPherson, Ph.D., Lecturer on Roman Law. At the beginnine- of the session new schedules of studies for the degrees were put in operation in each of the colleges. In the A. B. degree, which is conferred only in Franklin College, during the freshman and sophomore years, the curriculum is fixed, and stress is laid on certain fundamental studies, such as Mathematics, Latin, Greek, English and History, with three of the physical sciences. In the higher classes, under the advice of' a board of advisers, the student is allowed a choice between several subjects, while he is required to pursue certain studies which al e comidered l'articularly necessary. Thus in the senior class, while he is required to take at least one of the phys-

179
ical sciences and one language, he may choose most of his studies from other literary subjects, or devote it to Mathematics and the physical sciences. Such election is guarded, so that the studies taken may fo'rm a well-developed and consistent group. .
In the State College of Agriculture aud the Mechanic Arts but one degree is given, that of Bachelor of Science. It is believed that this degree should be, in all cases, the <lertificate of satisfactory completion of a proper course of mental training which, although given by diverse arrangement of studies, should be equally severe, and therefore without d~scrimination as to title.
During the freshmen and sophomore years a practically uniform and prescribed curriculum is enforced, which indudes mainly the fundamental studies essential to mental <lulture, the Mathematics, a language (other than English) of highly developed grammatic structure, as Latin or German; the English language in its grammatic forms, and Rhetoric; history and the beginnings of the physical sciences, xact and observational. To these are added Drawing, both because of its own peculiar and valuable training, and of its bearing upon the more advanced studies in the physical science in the Rucceeding years. In the junior and Senior years certain fundamental studies are required, as Mathematics, one foreign language, Psychology, Astronomy and Geology, and options are allowed among certain a ppropriate groups of the pure and applied sciences. This plan guarantees to each recipient of a degree a proper amount of broad and general training, and at the same time permits a considerable amount of technical training along several special lines. Examination of the curricula will show that provision is thus made for general and special culture in the higher branches of the chief physical sciences, and for specialization in the technical depart-

180
ments of qivi1 Engineering, Architecture, Electrical Engineering, and Agriculture.
At the last session the Board of Trustees of the U niversity made provision for instruction in Pedagogy in the senior class, in a course consisting of three hours per week during the year. That a demand for such a course existed was demonstrated by the fact that for two years a number of the students have formed voluntary classes for this study, under direction of members of the Faculty.
The Trustees also took action adding a tuition fee of $50 for all students not residents of the State.
They also took steps looking to the establishment of closer relations between the branches of the University. Among other things, it has been provided that hereafter the catalogue of the University shall be the joint catalogue of the University and of the several institutions which by statute are parts of it.
Yours very truly, WALTER B. HILL, Chancellor.

One of the branches of the U niversity of Georgia which has made rapid advances in the past few years is the School 'Of Technology, located in Atlanta, Ga. For a number of years this institution gave no particular signs of increased usefulness, but it has always been conceded that its work was thorough and that it was filling a new field in education in Georgia. Its capacity for students until 1896 was thought to be suitable for the accommodation of 150. It gave only one degree, Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering. Now it has recorded upon its last catalogue 4,')9 students, and offers degrees in Mechanical, Electrical, Civil and Textile Engineering.
The mechanical students are about equally divided in the mechanical and electrical courses. Civil Engineering is not sought {or so much as formerly, but the opportunities are offered and there are some students in that course.
The Textile Department is by far the most unique and eventful feature in education in the South to-day. To meet the $10,000 conditionally appropriated by the State, in De-cember, 1897, for the establishment of this department, more than $47,000 has been raised in cash and machinery, 2bout equal amounts of each. It is safe to say that the building and machinery represent an expense of $60,000, {jnly $10,000 of which has been furnished by Georgia.

182
One of the most liberal contributors is Mr. Aaron French, a "wealthy manufacturer of Pittsburg, Pa., who became interested in the movement through his friendly relations with President Lyman Hall. In his honor the depllrtment has been named the A. French Textile School, and tbis title commemorates his generosity by being placed over the main entrance of the splendid building which contains the textile plant.
A boy who is thoroughly prepared in arithmetic may finish any of the mechanical courses in five years. If he is prepared in Algebra, one book in Geometry, and English Grammar, he can finish in four years.
Many young men spend one, two, or three years at the school and become well trained for practical shop work.
In the Textile Department the same preparation and time is required for the regular course. A special Textile Course including carding, weaving, designing and shop work of two years' duration is offered. This course is intended to benefit young men of advanced age or of limited opportunities. In order that tbese special textile students may not interfere with the regular students, only a limited number (20) can be taken. All applicants for this course are required to pass an examination in Aritbmetic and must be especially proficient in the following subjects: Compound numbers, Ratio and Proportion, Percentage, Involution and Evolution, Alligation and Mensuration. In case there are more tban twenty applicants for this course, only the twenty who are most proficient in the Arithmetic examination will be allowed to enter. Applicants for this course will be received only twice during the year. The first examination will be held September 26, 1900, at 9 A. M. In case there are vacancies in this class, another examination will be held December 31, 1900. No students will be receivedin this class at other times. No student of the school is eligible to this course after becoming deficient in any Of

183
the other courses: No students will be received in the Textile Department unless they are taking the regular course, or the special course here mentioned. The requirement in Arithmetic is absolutely necessary for the sUllcess of the student. In the practical work which he receives in the mill in the calculation of speeds, etc., no time is available for drilling the student in the principles of Arithmetic. All of his time is taken up in practice and such recitation work as will benefit his practical knowledge of Textile work. In the space of two years he will be capable of taking charge of a department of a cotton mill. He will have a limited training in Textile design, and may by his own efforts and proper application become a competent superintendent. This course will include no work on Jacquard Looms, and is not accompanied by a certificate or degree.
It is not intended in this article to give all the particulars for entrance. Correspondence with President Lyman Hall, Atlanta, Ga., will secure minute details which are clearly given in the handsome illustrated annual catalogue.
It is a matter of special pride with the authorities of the school that so much notice and favorable comment has been given of their methods and eq nipment in the scienti fic journals of the country, especially those published at the North. No other southern institlltion has attracted the attention in the past six mO:J.ths which has been directed towards Georgia's scientific institution.
A boy who is given a first-class education and then is made to apply it befot'e he forgets its abstract principles is best equipped for life's battle. In an examination for Annapolis in the State School Commissioner's office recently a graduate of one of the Georgia colleges failed to answer a single question in Algebra and Geometry. Principles which he had learned as a freshman, from lack of application, had entirely disappeared from his memory. They

184
had not been applied. At the School of Technology theory and practi8ego hand in hand, and the principles of textbooks are driven in by hard study and clinched by actual application in the shops, at the engines, in the field and in the laboratory.
The list of the school's graduates, with their occupations, is published in the catalogue. The records which have been made and the positions occupied speak volumes for the school's work. The graduates are holding their owu with engineers throughout the country, and their records are evidence of the fact that the school prepares boys for positions of immediate remuneration.
President Hall relates that a graduate from one of the State colleges could find no employment until forced to take a position as cashier in a cheap sidewalk restaurant in Atlanta, and that another graduate of one of the State colleges, a first honor man, was getting twenty-five dollars per month as night watchman in a guano factory, while a Technological school graduate was drawing two thousand dollars per year in a factory near by as superintendent of olle of the departments.
President Hall does not depreciate a classical education, but contends that the times demand that a young man should be technically trained if he has no financial backing in the first year of his career. Every young man who graduates from a literary college must become a specialist at some time and somewhere. He must learn how to do something. He is therefore advised to take a course in some one department of the School of Technology.
THE DORMITORY SYSTEM.
The school has dormitory space sufficient to aocommodate only 110 students. The authorities have paid much attention to this feature. All dormitory students are virtually under military regulations; they are not allowed to

185
visit the city; they are constantly under authority, and are not allowed to remain in the dormitory unless their conduct is satisfactory.
THE GYMNASIUM.
One Class (the apprentice) is given a compulsory course in the gymnasium, which is well-equipped with new apparatus, shower-baths, etc. Voluntary classes are formed, and every care is taken that proper and bell'eficial work shall be taken. The instructors are well trained, and the Jirector is a specialist in his calling.
WORKSHOP PRACTICE.
A distinctive feature of this school is the mechanical workshops. It is safe to say that in no other school in our country is so much emphasis placed on the importance of the practical skill and experience to be gained in machineshop work of the very highest class. We challenge comparison. And high as our grade of work is now, it is continually growing more valuable, as a record of our work during the present year and preparations for next year will show.
The shops where pupils practice occupy a commodious two-story building, 310 feet long by 40 feet wide, with wings 30x40 and 12x40. The building contains the general offices of the shops, drafting-room, iron and woodrooms, engine ,and boiler-rooms, wash-room, forge-shop, and foundry. All these rooms are well equipped with the best modern iron and wood-working machinery and tools.
The shops are no longer run on the contract system. No outside work of any kind is done. A general idea of the character of work carried out may be gathered from notices of machines, etc., now being manufactured in the shops, at the end of this article. All work done in the shops is from our own design, from working-drawings pre-

186

pared by th~students under careful and experienced super-

vision. t.rh~ work in all departments calls for the highest

abilities of the student.

The first or Apprentice year is devoted entirely to wood-

work. This includes a course of elementary instruction in

laying out work with knife and pencil and the use of the

ordinary hand tools, snch as saws, planes, chisels, etc.

This is followed by a course in elementary pattern- work,

introducing the use of the turning lathe. After these ele-

,

mentary exercises the student works altogether upon prac-

tical work, which, for want of a better name, may be classed

as cabinet work. It consists for the most part of equip-

ment for the shops or school, such as cabinets, tables,

drawing-cases, drawing-boards, physical apparatus, etc.

Instruction and practice is given in the nse and care of

the wood-working machinery, large and small circular

saws, band and scroll saws, cylinder and buzz-planers, bor-

ing, mortising, and tenoning machines. Two days of eight

hours each, a week, are devoted to shop practice through-

out the Apprentice year. About two-thirds of this time is

spent in the wood-working shop. As soon as the student

has acquired sufficent skill in the use of waod-~orking

tools to begin elementary pattern-work, he is at once sent

to the foundry, where he is given thoroughly practical

work in the elementary practice of moulding. This first

work in foundry is given with the sole purpose of aiding

the student to understand the conditions imposed by the

foundry on the pattern-maker. Experience has shown

that the progress of the student in pattern-making is much

accelerated by this method; that many puzzling questions

relating to draft, core-boxes, etc., are at once easily and

quickly made clear. to him in the foundry, which he can

never, no matter how well instructed, fully comprehend

anywhere else.

Simultaneously with the foundry instruction, the student

187
is given work in pattern-making-one day each week in the foundry, and one day each week in the pattern-shop. The two processel:4 so closely related are thus carried on together; and the work in the pattern-shop is not merely manual training-school exercises. It is all work of a high class, carefully designed by an experienced practical engineer, every piece of which forms a part of some useful machine.
Throughout the remaining three years, each student devotes one day each week to work in the shops. Students who are prepared to pass up the studies of the first year in the academic departments, and enter the school as Juniors, are required to work one-half day extra each week for three years.
The work in the second, third, and fourth years (Junior, Middle, and Senior) is divided between the four departments of the shop, viz.: pattern-making, foundry, smithshop, and machine-shop. During these years more time is devoted to the machine-shop than to any other department.
The foundry, which is unlike most foundries in being a bright, cheerful place, is thoroughly equipped, having besides a main moulding-room with a floor area of 40x90 feet, a core-room, two ovens for baking cores, a Collieau cupola in a fire-proof annex having iron charging-floor and iron roof, a separate building in which are placed the rumblers and the pickling vats, and another building for the brass foundry. So far as we are aware, we have the only equipment south of Cincinnati prepared to make bronze vault doors (upon which we received a gold medal at the Cotton States and International Exposition). We take great pride in our foundry work, and it is justly famed for being of the highest class. Foundry work in this section of the country has been of an exceedingly low grade, and

188
we feel that the work we are doing in this field alone justifies the ?tllll'ual expenses of the shops.
In thE. foundry the student is given careful and efficient instruction in green and dry sand moulding, core-making, mixtures of iron, brass-founding, and the mixtures of the various useful bronzes, aluminum-casting, and the aluminum bronzes. There is also a separate cupola for the reduction of" burnt-out" pure copper electric wire to pure pig lake copper.
During the past year the smith-shop has been enlarged and rebuilt entire. It is 37x70 feet with all four sides solid glass. It is equipped with twenty-one forg\ls, with PAter Wright's best forged anvils, and blast pipes and smoke ducts under ground. Smoke is carried away by a powerful exhaust fan, on the down-draft system, leaving the overhead space entirely free for admission of light. In one end are the foreman's office and a room fitted up with benches and vises for bench-work in forging. The smoke-exhaust fan is located overhead in the foundry (in another building), and the system works admirably. A more efficient and cheerful blacksmith shop it would be difficult to imagine.
All the shops are lighted by electricity, both arc and in-candescent.
In the smith-shop the student is first given purely manual training tasks in iron-forging, which are continued only so far as will enable him to acquire sufficient skill to forge some Ilseful article. After that his work is confined to such articles as possess intrinsic value. We received a silver medal at the Cotton States and International Exposition on our display of small tools made in the smithery, such as hammers, masons' and moulders' trowels and tools, turning chisels and gouges, cold-chisels, swages, Epawls, -etc. The student also acquires skill in forging and dressing lathe and planer tools; welding, tempering, and an-

189
nealing steel; the brazing and soldering of various metals, case hardening, bluing, etc. It is to be distinctly understood that the student does not simply observe these operations as they are performed by a skilled artisan, but is required to acquire the handicraft himself, under expert instruction.
The machine-shop is well equipped with lathes (two of which are very large ones), planers, grinding tools, universal milling-machine with spiral attachment, shapingmachine, and a large assortment of small tools in a toolroom conducted strictly on the check system. To this equipment we are constantly adding tools of our own manufacture, having added last year a 20-inch-by-6-feet iron planer of our own design (upon which we received. a silver medal at the Cotton States and International Exposition.)
Beginners in this department of the shops are first given instruction in chipping and filing. The elementary tasks are of the usual manual training-school order, the first lesson being to chip and file a rough cast-iron block into a cube, with flat faces, sharp corners, and right angles. Only a few lessons of this character are given, as it is felt that here, as elsewhere, the sooner the student can be put upon productive industry the better. It can not be successfully denied that a student takes more interest in work of a useful character than he does in a mere task. He can be better taught to turn and grind round fits, scrape true, flat surfaces,. and drill flutes and spirals in useful articles, parts of machine tools, for instance, than in manual training tasks to be cast into the scrap-heap.
All work of whatever kind in aU departments (excepting, of course, the foundry) is done to working-drawings. :Wo haphazard, no chance, no "beginning at nothing and, ending nowhere," is allowed. Under certain conditions students are allowed to work in the shop extra time on.

190
things fClr themselves. Work of this character must meet
the app;ov~'l of the head instructor, must be made to a
working-drawing or a carefully-prepared dimensioned sketch, and m'ust be of a character to reflect credit on the student and possess intrinsic value. As work of this chara(ter may be mentioned small steam-engines, electric generators, moto rs, etc.
Students are also instructed in the practical management of tbe sbop steam-engines, boilers, firing, etc.
Tbe following is a partial list of tbe work now in process of construction in the various departments or the sbops :
Eigbt electric generators, all compound-wound, ranging in size from a .3-kilowatt generator to a .7-kilowatt-six different sizes.
Three 12-inch engine-lathes. Four 2Q-inch by 6-feet iron planers, nearly completed, for sale, and satisfaction guaranteed. A 24-inch by 6-feet buzz planer. 'Ve intend to manufacture tbese buzz-planers for sale. Two 9x12-inch horizontal engines for experimental work -one automatic, tbe othe r throttling. Several transformers for the Department of Electrical Engineering. Tbree 4 1-2x6-inch vertical engines, with and witbout link-motions, besides about a dozen smaller engines. One hundred and twenty-five writing-desks and seats for our Academic class-room. Fifty self-adjusting drawing stands. Twenty higb speed wood lathes, some ot wbich will be for sale. A twelve borse-power transmitting dynamometer. Tbese are some of the principal pieces of work at present in the shops. During tbe past year we bave made many pieces of apparatus for tbe Department of Pbysics. During the past school year, a lO-kilowatt electric gen-

191
erator has been completed in our shops, and has been put iuto successful service. It is one of the most useful pieces of electrical apparatus we have, as from it may be obtained direct current, and two-phase and three-phase alternating currents, all simultaneously or singly, at will.
There has also been completed the past year an overhead traveling crane for our foundry (built by ourselves entire) of five thousand pounds capacity.
The shops are constructing a geared pump for returning to the boilers direct the water of condensation from the steam-heating system of the several buildings. When this apparatus is installed it will result in an annual saving in coal and water bills of about two hundred dollars.
The shops have completely re-plumbed the Knowles Dormitory, changing the plumbing from a source of perpetual annoyance and expense, as left by the plumbers, to a mbstantial, non-freezable system.
During the present year a great amount of work has been done in the shops for the 'Textile Department, the most important of which is perhaps the construction of twenty hand looms.

MILLEDGEVILLE, GA., August 15, 1900.
Han. G. R. Glenn, State School Com.missioner, Atlanta, Ga.: DEAR SIR:-I have the honor to present to you the fol-
lowing report of the Georgia Normal and Industrial College for the session 1899-1900.
ATTEXDAKCE.
" During the session there were in attendance on the college 377 girls and young women from 14 years to 30 years of age, com'ing from 92 counties in the State; there were G9 children from 6 years to 13 years old in the Model School attached to the Norrilal Department, making a total :lttendance of 446 pupils.

NORMAL DEPARTMENT.
There were in attendance on the Normal Department 121 young women, coming from nearly all parts of Georgia. They came in good faith to prepare themselves for the profession of teaching, and devoted themselves to the work with great diligence and zeal.
The work in the department has been more satisfactory this year than ever before, owing to the better adjustment of the courses of study. This adjustment is not yet perfect, but its good results have been very manifest in class work and in the health of the students. Fnrther adjustment is needed to give time for plant study and animal study, as well as earth stndy, sciences o~ the greatest val ue in Nature Study work, now so essential in the schools.
The schedule for llext session has been so arranged as to allow considerable time for these important subjects.
In Manual Training, Free Hand Drawing, Physiology, Physical Culture, and in thoroughness and excellence of practical training in teaching in the Model School we surpass allY other Normal School in the South. This claim may be readily verified.
Sixteen young women graduated from the Normal De-

218

partment tb.is $iImmer. Most of them had been students of

fit

_,$

the college for:four years, some of them for five years, and

not one for less than two years. They all showed average

ability as teachers, and some of them manifested unusua'!

talent.

INDUSTRIAL DEPARTMENT.

Our Industrial Department includes the following

branches, viz.: Stenography and Typewriting, Bookkeep-

ing, Dressmaking and Industrial Drawing.

The number of pupils pursuing each of these branches

during the past session was as follows:

Stenography and typewriting

Bookkeeping

.

. ___ ___ ________ 19

Dressmaking

.

Industrial drawing .____ _ __ _ ___ __

126 __ 86

The same thoroughness and intolerance of sham prevail in this department that characterize all of the other work done in this institution.
At the close of the session two students were awarded the Certificate of Proficiency in Stenography; four, the Certjficate of Proficiency in Bookkeeping; and two, the Certificate of Proficiency in Dressmaking. The very high standard of excellence required to get these certificates accounts for the comparatively small number issued.
Our school of sewing and dressmaking was greatly overcrowded with pupils last ses:sion, and many applicants for admission had to he turned away for want of sufficient teaching force to instruct them. I am glad to say that we have arranged to employ an additional teacher for next session, and we will be prepared to teach this important branch of woman's education better than ever before.

DOMESTIC SCIENCE DEPARTMENT.
Our Domestic Science Department includes that group of subjects that bears directly upon the life and administration of the home, such as Cooking, Home Sanitation, Hy-

219
giene, Dining-room Training, and care of bedrooms~ This department was thoroughly reorganized last session. and efficient work was done in each of its branches.
Our Cooking School, which for want of money had beea suspended for one year, was reorganized and was supplied throughout with new utensils and implements. It is now undoubtedly the best equipped and best taup;ht CookingSchool in the South. The new teacher of this branch is an expert in her specialty and an instructor of extraordinaryzeal and ability. Nearly one hundred pupils took the course in cooking last session, a larger number than everbefore.
We have arranged to introduce instruction in gardening and floriculture into the Domestic Science course next session. A part of the twenty-acre lot belonging to the college has already been put in excellent condition for this purpose. The instruction will be thoroughly practical and will be in charge of Mr. A. R. Phillips,an expert gardenerand floriculturist and an educated gentleman.
COLLEGIATE DEPARTMENT.
This department embraces most of the standard literary and scientific studies usually taup;ht in female colleges. N early every pupil of the institution takes this college course, either in full or in pa,rt, in connection with her normal or her industrial studies. No attempt is made to ad,.. vance the standard of learni.ng beyond what is already established in leading southern female colleges, but in thoroughness and accura'Cy the work of this school is far superior to that usually found in female colleges.
That sham and sllperfilCia11earning which has made fashionable female colleges the gibe of the world is not tolerated in this:institution. Pupils are not allowed to enter any college class without fiIlst proving their itness for that classby passing an examination given. by the faculty, nor are'

220
;they permitted to rise {rom a lowe.r to a higher cll!-ss until t;hey havl mtistered the studies of the lower, and none receive diplome,s except those -who have fully and thoroughly 'ilccomplished the work marked out in the curriculum.
A thorough course of physical training by the Swedish system of gymnastics is a part of the college curriculum as is required of every pupil in the institution unless specially -excused by the President for some good and sufficient reason.
The entire work of the collegiate department during the past session was eminently satisfactory.
BOARDING DEPARTl\IENT.
During the session 295 students lived in the two college dormitories, and about sixty or seventy boarded in private families because there was not room in the dormitories for them. The expense of living in the dormitories, notwithstanding the increased price of all surts of provisions and other necessaries, was less thau $] 0.00 a month, including board, light, heating, and laundry. The style of living was in every way as' good as is found in colleges where the board costs $18.00 or $20.00 a month.
SOME GRATIFYING FACTS.
A!though the college has been in existence only nine years more than 700 of its students-graduates and undergraduates-have earned their own living by the practice of the profession and the industrial arts that they have learned in this institution. Young women trained in its normal .department have taught in nearly every county in Georgia, and in nearly every city in the .State its proficients in stenography, bookkeeping, and dressma~ing have found employment at good pay, some of them: holding very responsible positions at high salaries. More than ninety per cent of its graduates have practiced for a living the professional and industrial arts that they learned in the college.

221
Our normal graduates and our proficients in the various industrial arts readily find positions. Frequently we can not supply the demand for them.
During the past session and every previous session of the school a very large majority of our students were poor girls or girls in very moderate circumstances \"ho, if this school had not been established by the State, would have grown up in comparative ignorance and inefficiency. Hundreds of young women who are now shining lights of intelligence and civilization in communities in all parts of Georgia would have gone forth with benighted minds and undeveloped powers if the State had not established this insti tution where, at a nominal cost, they could get a wholesome, hel pful, and uplifting education.
It is gratifying to note that the purely feminine or homemaking industrials taught in our college, such as sewing,_ dressmaking, cooking, and honsehold economics, are becoming more and more popular with onr pupils every year. The classes in these branches were larger last session than ever before, and in fact were overcrowded. 'We have, I believe, by all odds the best school of Domestic Science in the South, and I have every reason to feel assured that this e1>.tremely important branch of our work will continue to grow in popularity and efficiency and in helpfulness to the women of Georgia.
PROSPECTS FOR NEXT SESSION.
It is one month before our new session begins. More than 200 certificates of admission have already been isslwd, and applications in large numbers are coming in every day. We shall open, as usual, with the school full to its capacity. In some important particulars our organization will be greatly improved, and we shall be prepared to do better work next session than ever before.
Yours truly, J. HARRIS CHAPPEI,L,
Pres. Ga. Normal and Inpustrial College.

Hon. G. R. Glenn, Chairman ef the Conzmi88ion State
Normal School, Atlm,nta, Ga. DEAR SIR :-1 take pleasure in com.plying with your ifequest for a report of the State Normal School, with a financial statement of receipts and f:!xpenditures, with the salary list and a roll of the stua-ents for the year 1900. The condition of the school is all that its most ardent friends could ask. The sick list has been remarkably small. Taking into consideration the large number of people crowded in small rooms, and the absence of sewer -connections and poor facilities for bathing, it is remarkable that not a single case of sickness attributable to any local -cause has occurred. In addition to this, a continuous session through the entire summer (our school year corre.gponds with the calendar year) brought no sickness in the heated term. The wisdom of this plan of making the school year -coincident with the calendar year is plainly manifest in our school. In a State institution, with appropriations by the calendar year, there is no confusion as to expenditures, salaries, etc.; and it is just as conenient to have commencement exercises in December as in July. The enrollment shows the institution to be in a prosperous condition, although it is smaller tlilan last year. This

2~3

is owing to two causes: First, the act of the Legislature taking away from us the right to grant licenses in a great measure deprives the State Normal School of its distinctive features of a school chartered by the Le?;islature to make teachers. This act has deterred many from attending the school this year. Your honorable body is earnestly requested to use your influence to have this right restored. Second, many prospective students were afraid that there would be an epidemic from the absence' of proper sanitary connections, and decided to wait and see what the next Legislature would do in this regard. Besides, the management decided not to crowd the students as much as was done last year and thereby increase the danger of sickness.
The expenses have not been allowed to exceed $8.00 per month. Total expenses for the scholastic year of ten months will not run beyond $SO .00. Under all the circumstances, this is not expensive living.
The wants of the school can only be met by such appropriations as will enable the Commission to make more room, more conveniences and add to the teaching force of the school.

DAHLONEGA, GA., October 5, 1900.
Han. G. R. Glenn, S. O. C., Atlanta, Ga. DEAR SIR :-In response to your request, I have the
honor to present the following report of the North Georgia Agricultural College for the session 1899-1900.
During the session we had in attendance two hundred and eleven students, coming from seventy-two counties of Georgia. Of these stul1ents, one hundred and seventy-nine were male and forty-two female.
16 sc

242
The college offers four courses of study, Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Science~ Bachelor of Instruction, and Bachelor of Business Science. These courses of study are approved by the Chancellor, and upon their completion students are awarded their diploma in the name of the University and the College.
Under the co-ordinating plan adopted by the UniverElity Trustees la8t summer, this institution is brought intu still closer touch with the central University,
1st-Grad uates from this College being allowed to take post-graduate work without fee,
2d-A representative of graduate class appearing on program graduation day,
3d-The University catalogue to include this institution, and,
4th-The Board of Visitors to visit this institution. By this co-ordination of the departments of the U niversity, the State system of higher education can be made compact and its influence greatly extended. With the proper maintenance and enlargement of the University and its departments as described in the Code of Georgia, the State can largely meet the demands of her sons and daughters for higher education. The Dahlonega department is established and maintained in order that the people of the mountainous part of the State may have an opportunity for college training at a cost within their reach; secondly, that the poor boys and girls in any part of the State may have college education at the minimum cost. Since its establishment in 1872, it has prepared most of the men now prominent in North Georgia. Over two thousand young men have had more or less instruction within the institution. To give some idea of the expenses for a year, I give below the three plans of boarding:

243

EXPENSES.
The expenses for a year's tuition at the Oollege for boarding students is as follows (based upon actual experience) :

FIRST PLAN.

Appointment of senator, representative of county sehool

commissioner, incidental fee per year, $2.50 a term

$ 5 ()()

Books (from $3.00 to $9.00) new or second-hand............ 7 00

Washing not more than $6.50 to . ..

9 00

Student rents room furnished and food is nicely served,

but purchased or brought from home, about. . . .

50 00

Library . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ..

2 00

Total . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .. .

$ 73 00

Over fifty students lived on the above plan this year. From four to ten engaged rooms furnished from some private family, laid in a supply of provisions and wood, and the mistress of the house kept the rooms in order, prepared and served the meals. The cost for furnished room and for preparing meals is from $2.50 to $3.00 a month. Where a number "mess" together the cost can easily be brought within $5.50 a month. This is due to the cheapness of country produce of all kinds.

SECOND PLAN.

Having appointment, as in first plan, fee $2.50 a term $ Books about. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .. Washing about. . . . .. Board in private families, everything furnished. at $10,00. Library. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ..

Total ..... _.

. ... $ 86 00

Those in military who have no uniform will add to the above estimates fifteen dollars, which amount will purchase nniform good for two years.
A few years a~o Mr. J. H. Bostwick, of New York, gave the college two gold mines. These were later to be used for buildings and other purposes. The trustees two years ago sold the Calhoun mine for $10,000, and with the proceeds built a substantial brick building for library and laboratories, and a neat frame building and cottages- for a dormitory for boys. These give lodging facilities for seventy-two boys. The other mine was sold in 188-, the year the General Assembly failed to make annual appropriation, in order to meet the running expenses of the colle~e. You will notice that we haye no facilities for boarding the young ladies at a cheap rate, under control of the college. 'With our present equipment we could give instruction to seventy-five or a hundred young ladies,. if they could find boarding accommodations.
We respectfully recommend that the General Assembly appropriate $2,000 a year for two years for the purpose of building a comfortable dormitory for girls. We think this but a proper return for the $-:1:,000 spent of the Bostwick fund, and in appreciation of the $10,000 used in enlarging the plant.
As the repnrt of the governor will show, our professors get the smallest salarip.s of any department of the State system of higher education. We believe our professors

245

have the scholarship and experience that would justify an

increase so that they might each obtain $1,000 a year.

Om' increase of the present appropriation to $8,000, and

$2,000 for building dormitory, making $10,000 a year,

would meet the present demands of higher education in

this department of the University. This will enable us

to give college instruction to three hundred young men

.and women, at a cost to the State of $30 to the student.

The Land Script fund pays the salary of the president,

the Peabody fund pays the salary of the model school-

teacher, and the United States Government furnishes the

commandant of cadets and the military supplies.

The new year has just opeued with almost as many

students as were enrolled last year. The college continues

to grow in the confidence of the people, and in helping

the poor boy, is doing, as Governor Candler said in his

last report to the General Assembly, "a work unsurpai'sed

in importance and value by any other institution in the

South."

Very respectfully,

JOSEPH S. STEWART,

President.

Hon. G. R. Glenn, S. S. C., Atlanta, Ga.
DEAR SIR :-In accordance with your request, I havE;> the honor to report that the Georgia State Industrial College, during the scholastic year ending June 6, has had onE;> of the best years in the history of the school. The total enrollment for the year was 434.
The school is now giving instruction in the trades of blacksmithing, wheelwrighting, carpentry, painting, shoemaking and tailoring for the boys, and also iu plain and fancy sewing for the girls. The pupils, both young me n and young women, have made commendable progress.
We have given instruction also in .pedagogy. A dozen young men and young women have done good work in the practice school. Quite a large number of the students of the school have left school to teach during the summer, an~ the reports from them are very gratifying.
An increasing number of our students are devoting their summer vacation to working at their trades. Some of them have made from $1.50 to $2.00 per day as bricklayers and carpenters.

247
During the month of March we held a Farmers' Institute. It was very largely attended and I think accomplished great good.
Onr course of lectures included this year lectnres from some of the best known white and colored citizens ot the States.
The gradnates of this year were 21,-nine from the literary department and 12 from the industrial department. Those from the industrial department received certificates . in sewing, carpentry, painting, bricklaying and tailoring.
We are now erecting a three-story brick bnilding to be used for dormitory purposes. This building is greatly needed and will permit us to increase our enrollment.
The outlook for this year indicates that we shall reach an enrollment of nearly 600, provided we are able to accommodate them.
I have the honor to be, Very respectfully, R. R. WRIGHT, President.

Han. G. R. Glenn, State School Oommissioner, Atlanta, Ga.: DEAR SIR-In response to your request of recent date,
that I contribute to your annual report for the present year something concerning the work and condition of the Georgia Academy for the Blind during the time covered by your report, I herewith send you what I trust will satisfy the demand. I would explain, however, that as our year does not terminate until the opening of the Legislature, I shall not be able to furnish tbe material that will go into my report to our Board of Trustees at their meeting at wbich they make their annual statement to the Governor, but there is so little difference in the substance and the statistics incl uded in my report for last year and for the present, tbat I feel that the following material from my last report to the Board will satisfy your pnrpose.
Permit me to express incidentally an appreciation of your desire for a contribution to your report from our institution. While the Academy does not fall immediately within your jurisdiction, it is nevertheless within the public school effort of our State and is entirely, by purpose and process, educational in its nature. .H'ormerly our State School Commissioners did not deem the institution properly within the subject-matter making up their reports; without meaning to reflect in any way upon your predecessors, I beg to recognize your interest in our work as being very

249

ncouraging-a statement I feel all the more disposed to make when I remember that in certain other States of'the Union the work of schools for the defective classes has been embarrassed in a peculiar manner by being wrongly classified with State chariti(s pure and simple.
I place just below a brief summarization of my financial standing with the board:

250

Board in matters of receipts and expenditurel:i, but also gives, in a condensed form, some description of the directions which the Board has allowed the annual appropriation to take. Our annual appropriation for the maintenance of the institution is $18,000-:1 comparison of which amount with the expenditures above noted will show the balance in the hands of the Board when it last made an annual report to the Governor. This balance, I would explain, is usually applied to the supplying of special property demands of the Academy.
The expenditures noted in the table presented in my financial statement, if given in finer detail, would show that the Trustees are not idle in bringing about improvements even on the slender basis existing, a fact indicated by their introduction, during the past year, of excellent bathing appliances for the pupils; the placing of tasteful and suitable iron bedsteads in the dormitories of the White Department, also new mattresses in the same; the purchase of chairs for use therein and also in the diningrooms; the procuring of a certain amount of apparatus needed in the school; the spending of a small amount in having all buildings and ground.> made neater.

The number of pupils enrolled during the past year has been unusually small-less than for several years, a fact that is attributable partly to our not having recently canvassed the State for children, but mainly to our being stricter than formerly in our tests before admitting seeing applicants, and also to the fact that the Board now stresses the eight years' time limit more than formerly. Another reason for this smallness lies in the very natural, but entirely mistaken impulse which leads the parents and frieuds of young blind people to be unwilling to give them up even temporarily, and, in some sad cases, to be wholly unable to conceive of any possible improvement in the child's con-

252
dition through coming to this place. In many cases, too, thoroughly willing and very worthy people are unable to afford even the money needed for getting the child ready ~md for paying the railroad transportation involved; they are unaware of the State's proffer of money for all such -cases. Again, our school needs advertisement, many people even in the most intelligent sections, knowing little or nothing of its existence. In former years, when free passes over the railroads made it possible, the Principal visited various places all over Georgia, representing the Institution before conventions and frequently carrying pupils with him; this plan for getting pupils worked admirably and would offer many inducements now were the expense entailed not so great and the presence of the Principal not so immediateiy needed in the Institution. The method just mentioned is followed, however, with success in most of the other blind schools in this country. Since my appointment in June, I have done a considerable amount of advertisement through circular and personal letters to county officers and other persons of prominence in the various sections of the State; the results from these letters have been more than encouraging. so that I may say, with every reason for thinking it sale, that we have the promise of a much larger school within the next year or two. In my work in the direction of advertisement, I have found of great assistance the last Annual Report of the State School Commissioner, Han. G. R. Glenn, to whom this Institution owes a debt of gratitude for the interest he took in having gathered and conveniently collated, when the recent educational census was being taken, the Dumber of blind persons of school age in each county. This summary showed 265 such persons in the State, 125 white and 140 colored-not including the pupils of this Academy. I hope to reach and get into this place most of these children.

The Georgia School for the Deaf was established by the State for the education of those persons between the ages of 7 and 25, who are tQO deaf to receive instruction by the methods used in the common schools, and the fact of being dumb has nothing to do with the admission of a pupil.
The school is located in Cave Spring and is accessible over the railroads running into Rome, and thence over the Southern Railway to Cave Spring, 15 miles.
The school is comprised of two separate and distinct departments, one for white people and the other for negroes.
There is an industrial department for whites in which instruction is given to the boys in woodworking, blacksmithing, printing, shoemaking, and to some extent gardening. The girls are taught plain sewing, and a limited number of both boys and girls are given lessons in freehand, water-color and pen-and-ink drawing as well as wood-carving.

256
For the year ending September 30, 1900, the admissiont> into the white department numbered 87 males and 77 females, and into the negro department 27 males and 24 females, with a total of 21.5.
No charge is made for board, tuition or necessary school supplies, and clothing may be furnished to those who come certified by the ordinaries of the counties as being unable to clothe themselves, and their railroad expenses paid to and from school.
The school term extends from the second Wednesday in September to the third Wednesday in June, with no winter vacation.

TABLE No.5. NOTE.-These book report.s are not complete. The county superintendents, in many instances, failed to get full reports from the teachers. In some cases no report has been received from the count.y. The law requires, however, that the report shall be published as received at tbis office, and the reports are therefore published. Every officer and teacher will be put on notice hereafter that the books used m.ust be accllrately reported. The schools had adjourned this year when the reports were received, and the teachers being scattered it was impossible for the count.y superintendents to secure complete reports in time for this publication.
