OFFICE STATE SCHOOL COMMISSIOKER,
Atlanta, Ga., October 1, 1.901.
His Excellency, A. D. Candler:
!y Dear Sir:-I have the honor to submit herewith Twenty-ninth Annual Report from the Department of Education of the State of Georgia.
I trust your Excellency will approve t1;le suggestions contained in the report and make such recommendations in your message in connection therewith as you may deem expedient.
With high regards, I am, 1:ours very truly, G. R. GLENN, State School Oommissioner.

THE TWENTY-NINTH ANNUAL REPORT
FROM THE
DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION
TO THE
GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE STATE OF GEORGIA.
Gentlemen of the Gen.eral Assembly: Twenty-five years ago Count Bismarck, Germany's man
of iron blood, said: "The nation which has the schools has the future." Trallisporting this language to America and translating it to fit our case, it may be as truthfully said, the State which has the schools has the future.
The history of education in this country has always 1shown that the State which has the best schools for all the people has made the future most secure. The world has come to recognize that material advancement waits upon intellectual growth. Not the intellectual growth of the few, but the intellectual advancement of the many. The power that is to develop the future is not the dull, blind gravity of enslaved masses, but the free, intelligent, welldirected energy oJ skillful individuals.
"The riches of the commonwealth Are free, strong minds, and hearts of health; And more to her than gold or gain, The cunning hand and cultured brain."

6
MATERIAl, PROSPERITY WAITS ON INTELLEOTUAL SUPREMAOY.
Material prosperity has come to be in States as well as nations, the evidence of intellectual supremacy. Indeed it has come to pass in this country, as well as in all countries, the world over, that the productive industries of States and nations are in direct proportion to the amount of money that each State and nation spends on the industrial education of the masses.
Legislative bodies must therefore become familiar with those educational processes that have resulted in the greatly increased productive power of the masses of the people.
At the la:st meeting of the National Educational Association, held in Detroit in July, that body formulated a statement of educational principles which I trust every membe,. of the General Assembly will read and' study with thoughtful concern.
These principles fit our case. They are as follows:
AMERIOA'S EDUOATIONAL OREED.
1. The problem of elementary education is the most important problem with which the State has to deal. The progress and happiness of a people are in direct ratio to the universality of education. A free people must be developed by free schools. History records that the stability of a nation depends upon the virtue and intelligence of the individuals composing the nation. To provide for tile universal education of youth is the duty of every State in the Union. All the- residents of the territory under the direct control of the general government, including the Indian T,eiITitory, Alaska, and our new possessions, must receive the benefit of free education at the hands of the government. We note with satisfaction the steps that have been taken by the present administration to place the blessings of the American

7
free school within the reach of all the people under the flag, 2. The Bureau of Education, under the direction of
William T. Harris, Commissioner af Education, has rendered invaluable service to the cause of education throughout the Unifed States. It is the judgment of this association that the powers of the bureau should be greatly enlarged, and that the general direction of public education ip. all the territory of the United States not under State control, including our new possessions, should be part of the duties of the bureau. In no other way can the general government so quickly, economically, intelligently and safely carry the benefits of popular education to the peoples for whose education it is immediately responsible.
3. We reiterate the statement that the public school should be the center of the educational life of the community in which it is located. Especially should this be true in rural districts. Here should be found the public Ii brary for the use of all; here the educational extension courses should draw the old and the young; here may literary and social meetings be held which will tend to uplift the mental, social and spiritual life of the people. Freed from the ravenous influences of partisan politics, untouched by the narrowness of rigid sectarianism, the public school should become the real center of the broader intellectual life, the educator of men and women beyond the school age, as well as the guide of childhood and youth.
4. The subjects that may properly be taught in element ary schools include those that bear upon the ethical, physical and esthetic nature of the child, as well as its purely intellectual nature. Sober, industrious, intelligent, honest cultured citizenship should be the result of public school training in ~he United States.
5. Our system of education will not be wholly free until every grade of school, from the kindergarten to and includ-

8
ing the university, shall be open to every boy and girl of our country.
6. The liberality of men of wealth in making large donations to institutions of learning is to be strongly commended and encouraged. At the same time it should be borne in mind that popular education rests upon the people and should look to them for its chief support and control. The relation between State and local support should be so adjusted that communities will maintain a deep and abiding interest in their schools.
7. The pubLic school system of a State should be a unit from the kindergarten to and including the university, and all private institutions should endeavor to work in harmony with the ideals of public education so far as their special purpose will permit them. In order that public and private institutions of learning may more fully cooperate in the general work '0:1: education, the relation between these institutions should be more clearly defined than is at the present time.
8. Legislation with respect to public education must not wait for public sentiment. It should lead public sentimen~ when necessary. Experience teaches that what people are compelled by law to do with respect to schools, they really learn to do without compulsion, but that they are usually slow to demand reforms which involve increased taxation. School legislation should, there:ore, be und:er the general direction of educational experts.
9. The National Educational Association recognizes the principle that the child has the same right to be protectea by law from ignorance as from abuse, neglect and hunger; and it, therefore, records with approval that many of the leading States of the Union have compulsory education laws upon their statute books.
10. While many cities have at last solved the problem, of :school supervision, in most rural communities the prob-

9

lem is almost wholly unsolved. Olose, constant supervision

of schools in both city and country is imperatively demand-

ed, not only on account of the large financial interests

involved, but also on account of the supreme importance of

the teacher's work and the lack of well-rounded preparation

on the part of many teachers.

11. The National Educational Association watches with

deep interest the solution of the problem of consolidating

rural schools and transporting pupils at public expense, now

attempted in many of our leading States. We believe that

this movement will lead to the establishment of tOWITship

and county high schools and thus bring more advanced edu-

cation to rural communities. We also believe that supple-

mentary State support of rural high schools is in the high.

est interest of the entire State.

12. The State should support and oontrol institution;;

whose object is the preparation of teachers for the public

schools. Normal schools, free to persons preparing to teach,

are an absolute neoessity in a perfected system lof education.

13. Noone :sili.ou1d be placed in charge of a school who

has not been previously trained for the work of teaching.

The plan of issuing teachers' certi4icates of low grade year

after year is at best a makeshift"and should be discontin-

ued whenever the State is sufficiently advanced in educatiQlll

to warrant its discontinuance. There should be a limit to

the length of time a persola can serve as an apprentice in the

vocation of teaching.

'"

14. vVe believe that the standard for school architecture,

including the proper seating, heating, lighting, v;enti1ation

and ornamentation of school buildings, should be as definite

as the standards for teaching. The law Ishou1d fix the di-

mensionsand all other requirements to school buildings as

well as the size and character of school grounds.

15. The National Educational Association declares in

the preamble to its constitution that its objects are "to e1e-

10
vate the character and advance the interest of the profession of teaching and to promote the cause of popular education in the United States," and we again pro~ise that, thCl best efforts of this association and its members shall be given to the furtherance of these objects in the firm conviction that in no place can we 'Serve our country better than in her schools.
THE WORTH OF A OHILD.
In this statement of principles is embodied the very highest educational creed of the most important 'educational body in the world. Woven through and through this creed is the woof and the warp of our twentieth century life. With the very dawn 'of the twentieth century the world recognizes as never before the worth of the child. What we can do for the child we do for the race. In Georgia, as in eV'ery other State of our country, what we do for the child must be done through the public schools. The demand of the hour is that the public school shall be made equal to the needs of the child. These needs can only be met when we have a capable teacher, a well-equipped schoolhouse, a term sufficiently long and a graded course of study adequately enriched for the complete development of every child in the State. The public school must be more and more the peoples' school, and it must answer the demands that are in the hearts of our people for the right education of our children. This being true the three "R" fetich must give place here in Georgia, as it is giving place elsewhere: for a broader and better ideal of education. Our people will no longer submit to the narrow, one-sided view that public education is either a makeshift or a charity. In the minds of our people everywhere in Georgia the conviction is growing that the education of our children is the supreme:st demand of the present hour. Who shall teach our children

11
is a question of more vital concern to us than who shall be gov1ernor. If a constitution, made twenty-five years ago, will not fit our case to-day; if the language of that con' stitution is to be interpreted so as to confine our work in the public schools to the limitations of the three "R" fetid! and to the crude and obsolete methods of twenty-five years ago, then our people will demand a new constitution as far as education is concerned. Nobody would substitute a steam engine of twenty-five years ago for the Mogul pas-senger machine that pulls a vestibule train through Georgia to-day. The world has moved upward antt forward in every department of human life. The engineer who pulled a train out of Atlanta twenty-five years ago would be lost, if he had been asleep for twenty-five years and were placed on a ten-wheel passenger engine to-day. If he could even start the train he could not control the engine when the train is under way. It would run away with him on the first down-grade. If it pays a railroad company to employ skilled engineers to protect the lives of rrts .passengers, surely it will pay the State to employ only skilled teachers to protect and intelligently guide the life and shape character in the schoolroom.
WHAT SHALL WE DO FOR OUR OHILDREN?
If the twentieth century has brought unmeasured opportunities for the young and rising generation, it has brought us also tremendous and awful l'esponsibility. What shall we do for our children is an infinitely graver question than what we shall do for our lands, 'our forests, our mines, or for our water-power. There are men in Georgia who are spendling fifteen hundred dollars a year on a three-year-old colt to develop power of muscle and speed of limb that the colt may win a prize on the world's great Derby. Other men are paying a hundred dollars a season to have pointer dogs

12
intelligently trained. If colts and pointer dogs demand intelligent treatment in order to secure prize-winning speed on the race track and reliable pointing of birds in the field of sport, the legislature may be sure of it that the intelligent handling of children now is required in order to make men and women who can stand up and be counted in the fierce competition for the prizes of human life. The highest premiums this world is paying to-day are awarded to men and women with full, well-rounded and highly developed brain power.
EXPERTS NEEDED TO DEVELOP BRAIN POWER.
If experts are required for intelligent training of colts and dogs, surely it must be true that experts are. necessary for the skillful training of the children. Experts are people who have been trained for their business; experts are people who know and who know that they know. The skillful and reliable physician is the man who knows what to do with the most desperate case. The skillful teacher ill likewise the man or woman who knows what to dOl with the most desperate boy or girl. Years of time and lives of patience and worlds of skill and the whole history of art are necessary now to redeem and: save one child. If a thousandfold in value is added to the head of a horse or dog whil~ they are correctly trained during the formative years of horse and dog life, ten thousandfold lof value can be added to the life of a child when it is properly trained during the formative years o'f its life.
Oh, if our legislature could only realize it, if, as the direct representatives of the peopl,e, the members could only be made to feel it, that the best money that Georgia can spend for the next twenty-five years is the money that she will spend for the developing of brain power and character in her children ! We can't develop brain pOwer and character

13
unless we have teachers of brain power and character. "Ve ean't secure these teachers unl'ess we put our hands in our pockets and pay for them.
OUR SITUATION.
Now, then, what is our siituation? "Ve have six hundred and sixty-five thousand children of school age (census 1898); eight-nrnths of these children are in the rural districts. They go to school less than one hundred days in the year. The teachers of these children receive as their pay an average of less than $130 for their services in each one of the rural schools. The d'ay laborers on the streets of Atlanta receive mOl'e pay for their toil day by day than we pay to the average district school-teacher, and yet the teachers are expected to be experts. It ought to be stated here and everywhere that the teaehers in the rural districts in this State, as well as the teachens in the towns and cities, are giv. ing the State a service vastly beyond the amount of pay 'they receive for it. To make our situation more aggravating, we do not pay the county teachers promptly the little pittance they earn when it is due. Nobody knows, except those who are directly familiar with it, the d:i:stressing situation in which many of them have been placed this present year. One of these poorly paid teachers was in my office a few days ago, and told me how she had been compelled to discount a claim of $60 due her by one of the counties, in the month of August. The money shark actually bought this claim by paying $48 in cash for it. The account will be paid in December when the taxes come in. The heartless money-lender has therefore wrung $12 of blood money fDa'll a defenseless woman. Any member of the legislature who will tll~e the time to calculate the rate of interest that she paid will see that she has paid 60% per annum to get a little money to live on. This is simply a damnable sin and: an unblushing shame.

14
The question that, if I could, I would burn into the -very heart of each member of the legislature is, shall this condition of things be allowed to continue?
:MORE PAY FOR TEAOHERS IN RURAL SOHOOLS.
Fully 80% of our teachers in the rural districts are shift ing about, changing their places from year to year, trying to better their conditions. Every member of the legislature can examine the lists in his own county and find that this is true. Our statute law and every law of progress il1 education requires me to subj,ect these teachers to severe test,.
every year to find out who are fit to teach; and yet when 1
come to pay these people I have less than $130 a piece to pay them with and can't pay that when it is due. Is it any wonder that our best teachers are all the while drifting out of the country into the towns and cities in order that they may secure nine months' service and nine months' prompt pay?
ANY 'WISE SOHEME OF EDUOATION MUST BE FOUNDED ON THE NEEDS OF THE PEOPLE.
Nor is this all. There is a growing demand for teachers, especially in the rural schools, who can teach manual training, elementary agriculture and other elementary studies that are known to be necessary for a well-rounded development of the children. Our Agricultural Department, under the intelligent and progressive guidance of Hon. O. B. Stevens, is demolllB>trating the importance of adding elementary agriculture to our school course of study.
Everybody knows, as the head of our Nmmal School at Athens said recently in an appeal to the president of tha
Federation of yvomen's Olub, that any wise scheme of edu-
cation grows directly out of the needs of the community life, and is aimed at supplying those needs. The most dis-

15
tressing need to-day in the home-life of the plain people of Georgia is the lack of domestic industries of all sorts. Materials for these domestic industries are to be found in abundance about every country house in the State. Every child in these homes, as is the case of European children of European rural homes, should be instructed in some finger work that may aidd to the total ipcome of the family. Thel2c finger industries are toy-making, wood-carving, lace-making, knitting, crocheting, work in drawing, rug-weaving, artifi cial flowers, and many other things of similar sort that children should learn to do at school. Here, as in many couri.triell in Europe, the short winter days and the long winter nights should be full of remunerative occupation and the school should train the children here in Georgia how to do things by doing things. President Branson says further, until we learn to husband our resources better and to live at home, on what otherwise goes to waste; until our plain people learn to use profitably time that has been going to waste in farm life, we cannot help being a poverty~stricken people. Like the man in the Bible, our tenant farmer says, "four months and then cometh the harvest." Heaven only knows what he does with the other eight.
The president of our Normal School says further: "T
spent a few days in the mountains recently; the people I found there might just as well have been born without fin gel's, so useless are their hands. !tis pitiful. They can neither cook nor sew. Apparently they can do nothing except hoe small patches of corn, hang together a few rags 01' clothes and beat their dirty linen with paddles. Their homes are wretched hovels; their surroundings are forbidding and their minds are sunken into a kind of pauperism out of which it seems impossible to rouse them."
"Of course there are better people in these mountains as well as elsewhere in the State, but the superstructure ot our civilization rests on miasms of ignorance, superstition,

16
dirt and insensibility to things above mere animal exist ence."
We may not be able to do much for the adult of this
class, but their children can he made all over again and
"made different" as Mrs. Poyser used to say, by a scheme of helpful education.
At our Normal School we are now training teachers no~ only for ordinary academic subjects, but for nature studies and drawing and papm' cutting and folding and a great variety of forms of knife work, sewing, cooking and other thingJs that can easily go into every school in this Stat~. When we send these trained people into the county schools, how can they stay there and live on $130 a year?
MORE MONEY FOR SOHOOLS IN THE OOUNTRY.
And now what do we need to meet the demands of the situation. This question can be answered with one word~ MONEY To secure a long term school, a capable teacher, a good schoolhouse and a course of study, graded and enriched with the things necessary to develop child life, we must have more momey.
A LOOAL TAX IN ALL THE OOUNTIES.
The question is, how shall we get it? Instead of a million and a haH d'ollars for common schools we need at least three millions to-day. There is only one way to raise the money we need, and that is by a tax levy. Under the constitution the legislature can make this tax levy a State levy or a county tax levy. I have pointed out over and over again in my reports that those States in the Union that have the most successful schools raise at least two-thirds of their income by a local or county tax. Those counties and cities in this State that have complete school systems raise by local tax at leaLSt two-thirds of the money, as is done else

17
where. For instance, Bibb county spends for her schools this year $80,000. She receives $25,000 from the State and raises $55,000 by local tax. Bibb county has a nine months' school absolutely free for every child in the county. The country schools have every advantage that the city schools enjoy. I have also pointed; out this signifi- cant fact that the county tax for schools has resulted in the county lands being increased in value over three hundred per cent. in the last twenty-five years, by reason of the schools, whereas the lands in an adjoining county will not sell for as much to-day as they would have brought twenty-five years ago. The increase in the value of farm property in Bibb county the present years is over $300,000. Can the members of the legislature find a way of escape from a fact like this? If a local ta'x for schools that gives the people a -:line months' school free tOI all the children in the county has increased the property value 300% in Bibb county, can anybody show why a local tax in every other county devoted to schools will not also enhance values in these counties?
THIS IS OUR ONLY WAY OF RELIEF.
The statement of this fact is a simple piece of history that has been repeated over and over again wherever it has been tried. A local tax arouses local interest, avvakens local enthusiasm and develops local aspiration and local inspiration. If the present legislature will only have the courage and .the wisdom and the patriotism to rise to the demands of the present situation, they-will say to every county in the State next year, you must raise at least half as much money by local tax as the State provide'S for your children. Privilege also should be granted to raise as much as they see proper to raise. If this measure requires a change in the constitution, then the legislature should immediately take

18
such 'steps as are necessary to change the constitution. As I see it, the local tax is the only remedy for the situation. It is the remedy that has been applied in every State of th(.'\ Union. I know there are members of the legislature who would like to see the school fund increased by additions to the general tax levy. For myself, I see no hope for relief in this manner. The attempt to increase the school fund by an increase of the general tax is always met with a counter attempt to decrease it. It seems to me it is the part of wisdom to let the present fund stand as it is, to be distributed as heretofore according to the school population of each county. There is .not a county in the State that would be burdened if it were required to raise at least 50 cents to place side by side with each dollar that the State provides. These counties, nearly every 'One of them, have levied local taxes for jails and court-houses and poorhouses. In the name of all that is just and decent why shouldn't they levy a small local tax for the support of the schools, building schoolhouses, and: the lengthening of a school term, and the putting into the school course such new devices as are intended to keep the children out of the jail and away from the poorhouse?
The present constitution 0' the State requires that before any tax levy can be fixed in the counties, two successive grand juries shall recommend !Such levy and that two-thirds of the qualified voters shall then ratify the action of the grand jury before the levy can be laid.
IS A CHANGE IN THE CONSTITUTION NECESSARY.
Under this provision of the constitution the legislature, has enacted statutes for the local tax. It is well-nigh impossible to secure the consent of two successive grand juries, and it has been equally difficult to arouse the people to the

19
lmportanceof going to the polls after two grand juries have recommended the tax. If the framers of the constitution had intended to devise a [scheme to bar the levy of a .local tax, they could not have planned a scheme that would block a local tax more successfully. In county after county ineffectual efforts have been made to secure local taxation by this method. The simple truth is that this provision in the constitution was made to fit conditions that have passed :away. If, as above indicated however, the legislature cannot find a way to overcome this provision in the constitution,the General Assembly should authorize a change in the constitution by which the people can arrive more directly at a solution of the question. Many of our school districts would like to vote directly for a district tax where they cannot secure the county tax. .There should be a pro vision of law by which two-thirds of the qualified voteTIl .of any school district should be allowed to levy a local tax when they so desire.
HERE IS THE MOST IMPORTANT QUESTION.
With all my soul I appeal to the legislature to take up -this question and apply to it the statesmanship and patriotism that it demands. Make it the burning question of YQur next session. There is no other question which the legislature will be called on to consider that iJs of such tremendou9 moment to the rural districts of Georgia. In the consideration of this matter there is no room for the play of the trifler or the masquerade of the demagogue. It is the case -of the child, and the case of the child is too urgent to pander to the heartless pleas of selfish greed or to dally with the temporizing makeshifts and sinister devices of time-serving policies. The child of our mountain districts and our pine plains cannot come here to lift its white hand and fix its -pleading eyes upon the General Assembly tio beg for a way

20
of escape. The narrow limitati'ons and the depressing atmosphere of its restricted intellectual environment will doom it forever to a peasant pauperism, unless we can lead its halting feet to the crest of the plain where it may have a larger view of life. The fact that it does not know the dread curse of ignorance, stamped like, a black and damning fate upon its pallid brow, makes its case all the more pitifu1 and its mute appeal all the more eloquent. The stranger has gone to its mountain retreat and found the seams of gold that thread the back yard of its cottage home, and it ha3 bartered its heritage for a mess of potatoes because it kneC\' not the wealth of its native hills. The skilled hands of the stranger will put the stamp of the government mint upon its gold and that stamp will give currency to the gold everywhere. In the brain of the mountain boy is a deposit of hidden wealth richer than all his gold, but where is the skilled: masterhand that will develop and stamp the mint mark of genius on the soul of the boy and create within him a touch of the fire divine out of which may come a thought that shall pass current the world over when those who dug the gold from his hills will have been forgotten forever.
So, too, the stranger has invaded his forest home in the South, where the only music of his cabin was the moaning of the eventide, or the morning anthem of praise that was whispered above his head along the billowy Cl~est of tho towering pines. The pine barren has been stripped of the tall giants of the ages and the ships from all our ports have gone freighted with the yellow burden over every sea. The Georgia pine has found a market and a value in the marts of all the world, but the Georgia boy is left in his neglected solitude and there is no market for him and no price for thEY product of his brain.
The well-equipped schoolhouse and the skilled school. master can make these mountain children and these chilo dren of the pine forests of more value to the State than all the gold in the hills and all the pines of the plains..

21
THE GOLD AND THE PINE ARE GOING BUT THE BOY WILL ABIDE.

The gold is going rapidly from the mountains, but the'

boy is left. The pine has been well-nigh stripped from the

plains, but the girl is there. There is yet a vast store of

hidden wealth in the mountain and untold riches in the

heart of the plains.

.

Our supreme duty and our h'igh and holy obligation in

the beginning of the twentieth century is to develop in the

hands and brains of our children a power that can be ap-

plied to these reserved and undeveloped resources of our

vast estate. 'With the light 'of all the centuries to teach us,

a civilization that is not now built around the heart of a

<lhild will be anchored, in the future as in the past, by fI

rope of s,and.

To summarize the argument in the ease-

l. The common school is here and is here to stay. It is the

school for all the people. It must be adequately supported

to educate the children properly. It must be provided with

teachers capable of molding the intellectual, moral, phys.

ical and industrial life of the children. Such teachers can-

not be secured unless they are adequately and prompt.ly

paid.

2. The burden of maintaining the free schools for all tho

people should not rest wholly upon the State. In all the

States that have successful school systems, at least two-

thirds of the school fund is raised by loeal taxation. A

local tax always increases local interest and arouses enthu-

siasm for the schools.

3. Our great need is a more practical and complete sys-

tem of schools for the rural districts. A good schoolhouse,

a longer school term, a capable and well-paid teacher, and

an enriched and graded course of study are as necessary for

the rural districts as for the city ward. The only way to

22
secure them is by a county or district tax. The people aretaxed locally for jails and poorhouses. A tax for the pre.vention of crime is easier to pay than a tax to support thecriminal.
4. Wherever a local tax has been levied for schools, property values have increrused. In Bibb county the tax books show that farm lands have increased 300 per cent. in twenty-five years, since the county has had a nine month's free schools; while the lands in adjoining 00unties will not sell on the market for as much as they actually sold for' twenty-five years ago.
5. The resources of the State should be developed by our own people. The profits arising from the manufacture of our own raw material should go into the pockets of OUI> own people. The development of our own resources will require brains as well as money. Our own children :should at least 'furnish the brains.
6. Three-fourths of our pe'ople must continue to live on the fruits of the farm. Agriculture, horticulture and all other forms of domestic industrial life will require more and more intelligent and skillful labor. The only school that is worth while is the school that will fit the child for living and doing as it must live and do after it leaves school.
7. To make our rural schools as attractive and effective as our city schools, we need at least twice as much money as we are now spending. The gold, the pines, the marble, the cotton and all our raw materials are leaving the State; but our children, our best heritage, will abide. The question for the legislature ought to be, not how little can be done for the children, but how much. It is not what is expedient nOT what is popular, but what is our plain duty?
If this question can be answered wisely the people's freeschools will have the right of eminent domain in the legislahue.

23
A STEADY REVIVAL OF LEARNING.
One of the mo:st notable signs of progress in the State is the steady and continuous growth of all our educational institutions. The public schools have had the largest enrollment in their history during the past year. All the secondary schools and colleges, without-exception, have had largely increased patronage. In almost every county in the State there ha:s been held during the summer season from one to five educational rallies. The sole purpose of these educational gatherings is to arouse interest in behalf of the children. The building of new and modern schoolhouses continues with unabated enthusiasm. It will not be many years until we Ishall have a well-equipped schoolhouse in every school district in the State. All these tokens indicate a lively and growing educational spirit.
THE TEACHERS' INSTITUTE.
Under the present law only $25.00 is allowed for the pay of the conductor of the teache1'6' institute. The law als<? lim:its the length of the institute to one week. At the meeting of the County Superintendents in May a resolution was unanimously passe~ asking that the legislature increase the pay of the conductor and also lengthen the time of the institute. The term of the institute should be lengthened at least to twO' weeks, and the amount allowed for expeillSes should not be less than $100. We cannot now do the work that ought to be done in an institute in less time than two weeks. In many of the States the institute lasts for an entire month. The legislature should certainly increase the time to two weeks, and the appropriation to $100.
THE PEABODY FUND.
"Education: A debt which the present owes to future generations."

This was the sentiment that actuated the founder of the noblest educational fund ever provided for the children of the South by one man. The benefits of this fund in the education of 80uthern teachers alone can never be estimated. The Peabody fund now amounts to something over $2,000,000. The annual income from this fund varies from $80,000 to $90,000. The trustees, after providing for the Peabody School at Nashville, distribute the balance to the States according to their needs. Georgia has received from the fund from the beginning until the present time, about $185,000. '1Ve have eighteen scholarshiEs at the Peabody Normal School at Nashville. These s.cholarships are worth $100 a year and traveling expenses to and from Nashville. They are in such demand by our young people, that in order to secure a scholarship-they go to Nash ville in advance and spend one year at the school at their own expense. The scholarships are good for two years.
The Normal and Industrial School at Milledgeville, received this year from the Peabody Fund, $2,100; the Normal School at Athens received $2,100; the school at Dahlonega will receive $500. In addition to this the Peabody Institutes, supported largely by the fund, receive annually from $1,200 to $1,500.
Dr. J. L. M. Our~y, a native Georgian, a: dintinguished
alumnus of the State University, former Minister to Spain, is the general agent for the Peabody and Slater Funds. Dr. Ourry is giving the last and best years of his life to a noble ministry of education in the South. He hws perhaps addressed mo're legislative bodies and other large assemblies on the subject of education than any man living. Although :hehas already lived beyond the three score years and ten of man':s alloted time, he is perhaps to-day the most elo. quent and effective advocate of popular education on the American continent.

25
THE UNIVERSITY OF GEORGIA.
The University has just closed, the most notable year in its history, rounding up one hundred yeal'S from the inau. guration oJ its first president, June 15, 180l.
It may not be generally known that the University of Georgia is the first chartered State U niverrsity in America. Elsewhere in this report will be found a most excellent review of the work of the University by Chancellor 'vV. 13, Hill. The enrollment for the last year was the largest in the history of the institution. It is gratifying to all Geor~ gians to 'see the awakening interest in the State's oldest seat of learning. From all walks in life more than six hundred graduates of the institution, including the oldest living graduate as well as the youngest, came to- pay loving tribute to their Alma Mater during the last .commencement.
GEORGIA SCHOOL OF TECHNOLOGY.
This institution continues to enjoy a prosperity which i~ most remarkable, and which is :indicative of the thorough: instruction and practical benefits which its students are Teceiving. Under vigorous and progressive management 'of an able faculty the institution is fast making a reputation which is attracting attention from all parts of the country. It is frequently illustrated and commented upon by the leading scientific journals, both North and Soutli, and its friends believe that the State of Georgia makes no better investment than the maintenance of its School of Technol ogy.
Elsewhere is a detailed report of the institution. Possibly the most surprising as wen as gratifying feature of this report is found in the fact that the donations for the past year to the institution exceed by over $5,000 the entire amount appropriated by the State and by the city of AtJanta.

26
THE STATE NORMAL SCHOOL.
The State has no institution that is doing a nobler servic(' for all the people than the State No,rmal School at Athens..
'Certainly no work is more important than the work of educating and training those who are to teach the children. Located at the seat of the University and correlated with that institution, the N'o,rmal School, under the wise and helpful superintendence of the chancellor and the strong and tactful leadership of its president, is destined to :fill a very large place in our scheme of public education. I do not know a normal school in the entire c'ountry that has a, more capable faculty or that is doing better professional work with the means provided. Already the influence of the school is felt in every county in the State. The graduates of the school are in demand everywhere.
The appropriation made by the legislature for physical improvements has been wisely expended. The school now has a complete system of sewerage and water supply. Closets and baths foil' every floor in the dormitories add not only to the safety and health of the institution, but vastly to the comfort of the ,inmates. The great need of the institution at present is another building for lecture rooms afl well as inc~eased dOil'mitory space. Mr. George FOister Peabody, in addition to giving about $6,000 for the maintenance of. a new domestic department for two years, has also given $10,000 for new buildings on the condition that the trustees shall raise a total amount of at least $25,000. The trustees hope to raise this amount in the near future. Mr.. Peabody also gave at the same time $5,000 to the endowment fund of the State University. Mr. Peabody is a Georgia boy who has fought his way to the eminence 'of usefulness in the State of New York. Georgia 'is proud to count such men among her noble sons.

27
THE NORMAL AND INDUSTRIAL SCHOOL AT MILLEDGEVILLE.
This noble institution rOlr the practical education of our girls is one of our crown jewels. It fills a place in our educational system that no other institution can supply. Wher: Napoleon asked Madame Campin what France needed most of all to make her a great nation, that wise woman answered, "Educated mothers."
The words of King Lemuel apply with emphasis to theo daughters of this institution: "She looketh well to the way of her household, and eateth not the bread of idleness. She' seeketh wool and flax and worketh willingly with her hand. She reacheth forth her hands to the needy." Wherever the girls of this noble institution have- gone the~ have made for themselves a distinct place in the social, intellectual and domestic life of the community. Already the school has representatives in every county in the State. During the last session 98 counties were represented in the enrollment. The total attendance last year was 454 pupils. Many girls hav,e to be turned away each year because there is no room for more. The course ott study is planned to educate all of these young women for complete and useful womanhood. The legislature has always been generous in an:swering the demands of this institution. Every dollar that the State has spent on this school has been a good investment, and whatever the State may continue to do in increasing the facilities for the education of our daughters will be an additional safeguard to our homes and to our citizenship in the future.
N'ORTH GEORGIA AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE AT DAHLONEGA.
This schoo:l receives from the State annually an appropiration 'Od: $7,000, and is one of the most important secondary schoQls in the State. Last year there was an attendance

of 174 in the college classes with 26 children ill the Peabody Model School. The president reports that every county north of Atlanta was represented with the exception oJ two counties. There were also representatives Jrom 28 counties below Atlanta.
The new dormitory Jor girls will be completed this fall. This new building will provide accommodation JOT 60 girlS. The total expenses Jor boys at this schoo~ are $8.00 per month; the expenses for girls in the new dormitory will be $10.00 per month.
GEORGIA STATE INDUSTRIAL COLLEGE FOR COLORED YOUTHS, COLLEGE, GA., NEAR SAVANNAH.
The enrollment at this institution for colored youths last year was 506. These students were distributed in the vari ous industrial and literary classes. During the past year the work on the farm was done by 60 students. In addition to the agricultural department the schoo,l has dl..lpanmellt~ of brick-laying, carpentry, wheelwrighting, painting, 'shoemaking and tailoring.
There were about forty girls in the sewing classes. Up to this date there are 54 graduates from the normal department. Many oJ the graduates and undergraduates are now engaged in the various industrial occupation>! throughout the State. Four of the graduates are employed in the school as teachers. President Meldrim and the members of the cOlillmission deserve great praise fo'r the car,a and attention they have given to the work of this school. Chancellor Hill makes monthly visits to the institution, and his whole, 'some advice and helpful suggestions are highly valued by the qdministration.

29
OTHER INSTITUTIONS OF LEARNING.
In addition to the State institutions herein mentioned. we have a number of private and denominational schools that are doing noble service in the cause of education in Georgia. It is a noteworthy fact that the utmost harmony prevails among our higher institutiol1Js of learning.
While there is a generous rivalry, there is no dashing of interest nor jarring discords.
Elsewhere in this report will be found wch 5tatement of the condition and attendance upon these institutions as I have been able to secure. As a rule the heads of these institutions have cheerfully furnished dl the information asked for.

COUNTRY LIFE AND TRAVELING LIBRARIES.
By Harry H. Stone, M.A.,
Professor of Applied Mathematics, Emory College, Oxford, Ga.
From time to time the attention of the thoughtful and patriotic has been called to the fact that the growth of our <:ities is all too rapid, while the slow increase of the population in the rural districts drags its weary length along, sOllletimes having a value approaching pel1ilously near the vanishing point. .A. t the beginning of the nineteenth century, ninety-six per cent. of the population of these United States lived in the country; at the end of the century, less than seventy pel' cent.
Of the total population of Georgia, the people living in the rural districts, according to estimates made for me by the Department of Labor (United States Government), were in 1860, 94.12 pel' cent.; in 1870, 93.56 per cent.; in 1880, 92.68 pel' cent.; in 1890, 89.16 per cent.; and in: 1900, 89 pel' cent. These figures, however, fail to present the subject in all its seriousness, since in government esti~ mates the population of towns when less than eight thousand is classed as rural population. Should the population of towns be so classed only when one thousand or less, the percentage of urban over rural population would be materially in.creased.
In some cases entire families emigrate to the city. In 'others, where the old folks by reason of long association remain on the farm, the boys, one by one as they come of age, turn their backs on the life of their youth and in town seek other means of livelihood.

In our cities many of the foremost citizens are country reared, and have brought with them to their new homes and business that sturdy manhood and robustness of character incident to normal country rearing, and which is so frequently lost to the stock after city associations of one or two generations. These make great successes as city business men. Had they stayed by the farm, they might possibly have done as well financially, and at the same time have demonstrated to the world that true farming is not a matter of mere muscle, but is a highly intellectual pursuit and requires business and mental ability of a high order.
The growth of our city population is made up largely from the best products of the farms, while our rural population is receiving but few additions from the outside. While there should be a constant interchange between town and country to secure the best health of the body politic, yet where much strength is given by the country and but little received from the city, either the doctor must interpose his services or else there may be a call for the undertaker.
The tenant class, which is rapidly forming our rural population, is composed at present of both white and colored people. Many of the better class of white tenants are moving to factory villages to secure what seems to be moreremunerative employment. They are dazzled by the handling of a greater amount of cash, and are forgetful, or else fail to see the fact that one hundred dollars in the hands of a factory operative with everything to purchase cannot gOc so far in supplying the needs as one half that amount in the hands of a farmer whose daily needs are mostly supplied by farm products. Nor do they seem to appreciate that still more important fact that the growth of their higher nature which cannot be measured in terms of currency is more or less stunted by factory walls. The small amoun~

39
received each week for the labor of their boys and girls is largely blood money, for which is sacrificed the intellectual development of those whom they hold dearest. The percentage of the children in factory commun~ties attending school is very much smaller than that in agricultural districts.
J'lfany of the white tenants, while nominally farmer~, have but little interest in their business. They try to get everything possible out of the rented farm in one or two years' time, expecting then to try another community, since by that time their credit, as well as the producing quality of the la~d which they are subjecting to abuse, will have been largely exhausted. Little need be said concerning the negro tenants, as they are proverbially economical as to labor and careless as to methods of cultivation.
If we expect the State to advance in wealth and influence, her agricultural interests, the very groundwo.rk and foundation of all prosperity, must not be intrusted to the hands of the shifitless and the ignorant.
III fares the land, to hastening ills a prey, 'Where wealth accumulates, and men decay.
If, at the present, there is any failure in the outcome of the farm, it is because of mistakes as to methods and means employed, and not in the capabilities of old Mother Nature, who stands ready to enrich all who understand her secrets, but who turns a deaf ear to the careless and indifferent.
It behooves the patriotic to inquire into the causes of this increasing desemion of the farm for town life by so many of the better class, and, having found the causes, to use their best efforts to stop the movement and turn the current in the other direcrtion.
Man is a social as well as an intellectual being. It is to be doubted if any greater punishment has ever been de. vised by the ingenuity '0' man than solitary confinement.

If now to the lack of companionship there be added a dearth of intUectual food, then of all beings is that man most miserable.
In the country, under present conditions, social intercourse is at a discount at all times, by reason of distance, which distance is more than doubled in bad weather by tha hig,,-ays of mud and ruts which are through courtesy to the law called public roads. But should there be near neigh bars, yet there might be lack of neighborliness; or far worse, that social intercourse which retards rather than promotes intellectual growth. The youth finds a scarcity of that which appeals to tthe higher side of nature-that contact of mind wit.h mino which comeR in so<:ial intercourse and husiness rela1ions-and the growing mind must seek elsewhere for food upon which it may find nourishInent.
The country home, as we frequently find it, has but few attractions for the children. vVork, work, work is continually dinned in their ears; nor are any pains expended to arouse an intelligent interest in their work, until after a time work becomes mere drudgery. The trip to town some Saturday afternoon is looked forward to with keen interest both as a rest from toil and as in some sense a time of intellectual quickening. New sights and scenes spring to the mind, and the town soon becomes associated in the country" reared childs' mind wirth opportunity and progress. The young mind growing with the body craves something upon which to feed. The range of observation and information on the farm is limited when books are not at hand. Questioning father and mother fails to satisfy, and too frequently awakens a distrust as to the superiority of their knowledge. vVith little at home to feed upon, the mind must remain stunted, or else become so dissatisfied with its surroundings as at the first opportunity to leap the bounds and seek new fiel'ds for pasturage.

Finding the difficulty to be of a twofold nature as it affects both the social and intellectual sides of life in the country, the question presents itself, "What can be done to remedy the defects in country life, to improve the social conditions and strengthen and develop the intellectual 1ive~ of our rural population?
:First and foremost, I should say, Oonstr'llct a system -of good roads. This lies at the base of all rural life, Whether yiewed from a financial, social, intellectual, or religious standpoint.!
Secondly. If property owners, instead of building nea~ the centers of their farms, would build on adjacent corners, thus forming thickly settled communities or farm villages, there would be a great increase in neighborly opportunities for doing good and getting food in more ways than would at first appear.
Thirdly. Rural free delivery of the mails is a constantly growing factor in making country life more attractive. As an illustration: Our local postmaster informs me that the free delivery has largely increased the volume of mail matter passing through this office. There is one carrier who goes out from this office, and his route covers a territo'ry about six miles in diameter, which before the free delivery was established, was served exclusively by this postoflice. ,The delivery has been in operation for six months. Prior t,o' its establishment, the territory covered by it would furnish on an average five or six lebters a day; while at presmit, about twenty. Then, two magazines were received; now, there are possibly a h'alf dozen. Then, there were no daily papers received; now, there are f6ur. The mail matter of that section of the country has been increased 400 or 500 per cent. The carrier's report for March, 1901, is as follows:

The use of the telephone in our country communities is at present in its infancy, but it is destined in the very near future to play an important part in our rural life. It is being rapidly introduced throughout our country districts, and with great satisfaction. As an illustration: One case in Newton county (Georgia) presentS itself with peculiar interest to me, where a number of the Adams family-some eleven households-living in a somewhat thickly settled community, have connected their homes by a privatesystern of telephones. Such an object lesson cannot fail to be beneficial.
But it is not in the province of this paper to discuss at any length the social needs of our rural communities, nor to attempt even a catalogue of them. ",Ve would call attent~on, rather, to some of the difficulties in the way of proper i;'tellectual development. First, then, we would say that the public school system should be improved; and while this paper is not intended as a discussion of the public school system, yet a few hints or suggestions may not be out of place.
In some counties, in fact in most counties, we have too many- schools-falsely- so-called-wherein one underpaid teacher is expected to attempt the impossible, namely, to teach all comers between the ages of six and eighteen in.ali the subjects usually catalogued in our graded schools. The human mind, not to say human endurance, finds its limit.
The schools could be made better by relocation. Except under unusual circumstances, they should not be less than four miles apart. There being fewer schools, better .salaries could be paid and a better grade of teachers secured. More teachers could be placed at one schoolhouse. Instead

43
of two spelling shops with one teacher each, receiving thepay assigned a principal, there would be a single school with 'two teachers: and should one receive the pay of an assistant, there would be a saving in the salary account. With fewer grades to instJ:uct, the teachers could devote more time to each grade, and the individual scholar would receive more attention at the teacher's hands.
Sometimes, in a sparsely settled neighborhood, it migbt be cheaper and better in every way to furnish to the local pupils free transportation to a school a few miles removed. At present eighteen States, Mntaining about half the popnlatiO'll of these United States, have laws allowing free transportation to pupils at the public expense. Thirteen of them are making use of this privilege. Massachusetts expends large and increasing sums annually in this way. During the school year 1889-90 she paid out $22,000, while in 1898-99, $124,409.
It is claimed among many other advantages that free transportation improves the health of the pupils; increase" the attendance from 50 to 150 per cent.; practically abolishes truancy and tardiness; creates the greater interest and enthusiasm in school work usually attendant upon greater numbers; and in drawing distant communities together tends to promote social intercourse. Even where the school is a large one, if some of the advanced grades have but few pupils in them it might pay to furnish them free transportation to other schools, and thus liberate their teacher for better work with the remaining grades. Our countrJ schools need very much more money expended on them, so as to secure, first, better teachers; secondly, the lengthening of the school term to at least seven months; and third, the building of better schoolhouses. The greater number of the buildings now in use in our rural communities are a public reproach. Should they be compared with the average barn in the same community, they would suf-

44
fer badly in the comparison. Better equipments, too, arC' needed, as but few schools have comfortable desks, and a still .smaller number are provided with sufficient blackboards, globes, maps, or charts.
Is the object of the State, in providing this great ma('hine which 'ye call the public school system, to teach our {'hildren merely to read, write and cipher; or has it that grander and nobler purpose, t:o teach them to use their God-given mental faculties and to think? Mere "going to school" is worth little if the habit of thinking and reasoning be not acquired. If this latter be the object, then is there necessity to develop and strengthen everything which will arouse and quicken mental activity in our. children, and everything which will make them see more clearly the possibilities of their surroundings and arouse their interest in the development of the same.
Our children in the country stand near to :M:other N ature's heart, and the study of plant animal life can be largely pursued at first hand. So many of us have eyes, yet we see not; hands have we, yet we handle not. We need to use and develop the faculties with which we are endowed. The hope for broadening and developing the minds of the young in our rural districts is at present almost entirely in the public school teacher, and his most powerful instrument is the cultivat~on of the love of reading. In many cases this love of books needs to be developed from a very small beginning, practically needs to be created; in others, it 1'e(luires but a wiJS hand to direct it into proper channels. As the teacher succeeds in this, so does he magnify his position, and multiplies his influence for good; so does he add new dignity and self-respect to the high calling of a teacher. By his suggestion and counsel many feet may be turned into the paths of literature and learning; and without his interest and help, the doors of the finest libraries re-

45
main closed, and igmorance and narrow-mindedness could he traced in the dust on its shelves.
The object of reading should not be amusement alone. but instruction as well. Some parents o,bject to the reading of fairy tales and novels by their children, and while the reading of fairy tales may be largely a waste of time in the older reader, yet in the young it serves to develop the imaginative faculties, without which many of the pleai'ures of life are lost and many of its tasks made irksome. ,Vhile it is true' that too much fiction, like too much pIa;-. is hurtful, and will not develop the better qualities to the best advantage, yet it must he remembered that by no other means can many subjects be so vividly and clearly presented to the popular attention as through the novel. vYhat an influence for evil was that false picture of Southem life drawn by Mrs. Stowe in "Uncle Tom's Cabin," a book largely responsible for one of the most bloody wars of the world's history.
So, by what means can the rising generation be so vividly impressed with the indignities attendant upon the reconstruction period as by viewing those scenes, sketched with a mast,eITul hand by Page in his "Red Rock"? Or where is there so breathing a picture of that carnival of blood, the French Revolution, as is found in the "Tale of Two Cities," by Dickens? The books written for boys b:,: Mr. -Renty, and sold by the multiplied thousands, are but a series of novels traced with an historic background. Such books as those mentioned above tend rather to create or develop a taste for history than to destroy it. The >strengthening effect of history and biography is too universally recognized to need more than a mere mention, but often the his,tory is too dull to attract or, interest the untrained mind. Many times our histories are so condensed and stripped and bare that they are hardly more than skeletons; and I have

46
yet to see the first youngster, male or female, who has any peculiar love for graveyards.
,Vho can question the broadening effects on the mind ,"hich travel exerts? The visit to the county site has its effect on the young mind, country bred; and if the trip be more extended so that it may take in the city at the State fair season, subjects for thought and speculation are stored up for future consideration. When trips of any length are impossible, a good substitute is the reading of some of the many books of travel. Most of such works, put on the market in recent years, are written by specialists who weave into the story of travel many incidents of history and biography.
The ordinary country home furnishes but little mental food. An examination of the tables and shelves would probably bring to light these four books:
1. Some government publication sent by the district congressman, with purpose rather to influence the vote of paterfamilias than to furnish mental pabulum to that august personage, or to instruct anyone of the household.
2. The almost unavoidable subscription book, generally made for the purpose of sal81, composed largely of sickly sugar-coated essays on moral or religious subjects, and too frequently illustrated with impossible pictures. What educational value can a picture containing a green cow or a purple calf have to a wide-awake boy or girl? The matter in the average subscription book is about as helpful as an educator to self-reliant, manly manhood and: womanly womanhood as the study of pink dogs and lilac cats in their illustrations would be helpful in the development of true taste in coloring.
3. The cheap song book, sold by some peripatetic singer; made, it is feared, more to be sold than to advanoo the cause of the Master; filled with all kinds of maudlin senti-

47
ments and "jigity-jig" tunes, until the children by its common use have but little conception of the true nature of the life and mission of the Man of Galilee.
4. The family Bible. This, the Book of books, we find generally in an unwieldly size and too handsomely bound for common use. The children are forbidden to handle it, for fear of scratching its backs or soiling its pages.
'What can a growing mind do for food in such a desert ~ Can we by any stretch of imagniation think that the parents in the household are treating their children fairlyare they treating themselves fairly? Do their duties stop at providing food for the body? They do this much for their calves and pigs. Is there no claim for mental food? Is there no desire for intellectual growth? Books must be furnished. Newspapers and magazines may supplement, but must not supersede books.
What a blessing to a child is a good book? And if it be filled with truth pictures, its value is by no means lessened. Any hook does him good if it confirms his observation or quickens his thought.
This question, then, presents itself for solution: How can books be best brought to the attention of our rural population? (1) Will they be purchased by the readers? We can hardly think that there will be many individual purchures until the taste for reading is more generally developed and the habit more firmly fixed. (2) Can the libraries as at present constituted be relied upon to do the work? The great collection of books magnificently housed is indeed a powerful instrument for good in the land, but that, like the great university, while a necessity, can hope to reach but a small part of the people.
The small local library, by reason of its scanty and uncertain income, mUJst needs be limited in its range of subjects :md their treatment. The few books ouits shelves are soon

48
read thl'ough, and its pa.tron has exhausted its resources before he can have attained much intellectual growth. We need, rather, some intrument which, like the common schools, is of such general use that all may be without excuse for not making acquaintance with the master minds and ruling thoughts of the ages, whether expressed in fiction, poetry, philosophy, or science; and the controlling ideas of the past, whether embodied in men o'r governments, and handed down in biography or history. The books, to be useful, must be brought near to hand. Boob must b6\ first brought to the people, if we expect to bring the people to books. Food out of l'each cannot strengthen. In many cases it is nooeESary not only to put the food in reach, but to coax the patient to partake of the nourishment.
Here comes in the function of the traveling library; and that we may better understand its scope and aim, it may be well to call attentron in more or less detail to some traveling libraries now in successful operation. One conspicuous example is the "Stout free traveling libraries" of Wisconsm. Mr. Stout, finding out by inquiry that the books in a large town library were of but little use to the c'Ountry population on account of the difficulty of obtaining and returning books, instituted at hisl own expense a system of traveling libraries which could be carried to the homes of the people, where they would be of easy access to the rural population. The State Library Oommission of \Visconsin . has acted too on the same lines. Each librar,v contains about thirty volumes, packed! in a .portable bookkcase, and is sent out on payment of a fee of one dollar to local library associations. They are usually kept in some farmhouse, country store, or posiJoffice; fully two-thirds of the traveling libraries are kept in farmhouses. , :l\Ir. Frank A. Hutchins, Isecretary of the 'Wisconsin Free Library Commission, writes as fonows:

49
"The traveling library gives an abundant supply of wholesome literature to' the people in small communities at a sEght cost, and not only excites their interest in such litrature, but confines their reading to it until their tastes are formed. It is a free day and night school, which does not close on Saturdays or Sundays or ror long vacations. It instructs, inspires, and amuses the old as well as the young, and its curriculum is so broad that it helps the housewife in the kitchen, the husband in the field, the me<chanic is his shop, the teacher in her school, the invalid in the sick room, the boy in his play, and the citizen in his civic duties. It leaves no room for bad literature, and keeps it from circulating without resort to threats, by the most natural and wholesome methods."
Possibly New York has the most elaborate system of traveling libraries in the United States. .Mr. Herbert B. Adams, of Johns Hopkins University, in a recent Home Education Bulletin issued by the University of the State of New York, has this description of the system:
"At the present time the State of N ew York not only nobly encourages schools, colleges, and universitios, extension teaching and study clubs, but popularizes the public library and extends it to the very hamlets and homes of the people.
Traveling libraries are now lent by the State library in Albany to any public library on application by its trus~ 'tees, provided the library is in the university system. Any community not yet possessing a public library, on application of twenty-five resident taxpayers, can 'receive a traveling library to serve as a nucleus. The same privilege is ex tended to schools, extension centers, clubs, and, if funds permit, to granges, lodges, and other organizations having .special need of books. Oertain guarantees, fees, or deposits .;are required. The usual fee is one dollar for each twenty-
3 ed

50
five volumes, paid in advance. Schools are allowed to retain the library tm the end of the current academic year. Other educa,tional organizations, like Ohautauqua, return the books when the educational course or study period is ended.
There are in N ew York several different kinds of traveling libraries, general and special, altogether about five hundred. Some are selected for genmal circulation in the COlllmunity, and some for the special use of a study club. There are young people's libraries; selections of juvenile literature; academic libraries for schools and colleges; agricultural libraries for farmers' institutes; and teachers' libraries.
Oommunities preferring a considerable variety of books to suit varying tastes may take more than one library at a time,and thus popular demand for a public library is rapidly produced. On the other hand, local elasses or study clubs in some special branches of history, literature, art, or science, are fostered by a select, library on one great subject. The writer has seen such special collections on French history, American history, political economy, etc. Unless one has witnessed the stimulating effect of the traveling library on a rural community or study club, he cannot fully realize the beneficial influence of this mode~ll instrument of popular educa~tion."
Several other States, notably :Massachusetts and Pennsylvania, hav,e systems of traveling libraries conducted on an extensive scale, with more or less difference in the details; but New York, cited above, may serve as a type for them all. It might be more profitable to consider the subject in it<, relation to some one of the Southern States, say GeortO:> 'ia, and use as an obJ'ect lesson work being done on this line in some sootion of that State.
The board of education in Newton county (Georgia) has for a number of years had a reference and circulating li-

51
brary located in the office o,f the school commissioner, for the use of the teachers in the public schools; but its usefulness has been limited. Two years ago (1899), having a small amount of money available, it was determined to make an experiment in the way of furnishing small collections of books to the various schools of the county. It was hoped that with their use habits of reading would be formed by the pupils, and that finally throtIgh the pupils the community at large might have a better appreciation of books. The board was greatly handicapped in the selection of books, (1) by the smallness of the money available; (2) by the fact that the greater part of the better class of juvenile books are relatively high priced, all being copyrighted; and: (3) that most of the readers to be provided for were either very young or else had received but little intellectual training.
,Vhen the books were received, they were so,rted out in collections from thirty to fifty, and placed in boxes. The boxes are 28x10x7 inside measurement; the corners are bound with iron; they have handles on each end, and have uniform locks. Each teacher is provided with a key. The libraries are locked in the commissioner's office, and can be opened only by the teacher's key. The size and shape of the box make it convenient to handle and to transport, it being of such size that it can be easily carried in the foot of a buggy. When a school has had the use of a library for six weeks or two months, the box is locked and returned to the office of the county school commissioner, who then issues another.
The idea at first ,vas to have the libraries transfered from one school to another; but this was discarded, and it was thought best to adopt the plan used by the telephone systems in our cities~one central office, with the circuit radiating from it; so each library must be returned to the

52
commissioner's office located in the county court-house, where it can be exchanged for another. Oonstantly passing from community to county site makes this a method of exchange effected with greater ease and convenience than that of sending on the library from school to school; while it affords the commissioner opportunity for a better supervision of his cases and their contents, and the adaptf.tion of library to community.
There are twenty-seven white schools in the county, and a.t present thirty-eight libraries. In each library is a Webster's Academic Dictionary, and by way of a general reference work that multum in parvo, "The \Vorld's Almanac." Besides these two, not many books are duplicated in the thirty-eight boxes composing the system. An idea of the scope of these libraries can be obtained from lists of the contents of some of them. I have selected at random boxes Nos. 24 and 36:
Contents of Box No. 24.-Webster's Academic Dictionary; History of Germany in words of one syllable; Knock About Olub in North Africa; Three Vassar Girls in the Holy Land; A Boy of the First Empire, Brooks; The Knights of the Round Table; Little Women, Alcott; :Mohun, John Esten Oooke; Lorna Doon, Blackmore; Old Curiosity Shop, Dickens; Thrift, Smiles; Ohild's History of Englallld, Dickens; Tour of the \Vorld; Ohildren of the Abbey; Twilight Stories; In Story Land; T'anglewood Tales, Hawthorne; Plutarch's Lives; Alice in Wonderland, Carroll; Ohild's Garde'll of Verses; Stevenson; The Best I,etters of Lord Ohesterfield; Mother Goose; Ten Times One is Ten; Ohild's Story of the Bible, Foster; Stories oi England; Science Ladders, VoL 1.; Queer Stories for Boys and Girls; Young Folk's Recitations; Oats and Dogs; Animal Life; Songs and Stories; Fairy Life; Ohatterbox, 1898; The Yemassee, Simms; Ohristmas Stories, Dickens; Robinson Orusoe, DeFoe; Lay of the Last Minstrel, Scott;

53
The W orId's Almanac, 1900; Life of Hannibal; Life of Nero.
Contents of Box No. 36.-Webster's Academic Dictionary; Zigzag Journeys in the Occident; Roman Life in the Days of Cicero; The Dragon and the Raven, Henty; Life of Robert E. I~ee; Life of Crockett; HistOil'Y of Spain; Life of Pyrrhus; Poe's Poetical Works; I~orna Doone, Blackmore; Peter the Pilgrim; Bride of Lammermoor, Scott; Vicar of 'Vakefield, Goldsmith; The Cat of Bubaste'S, Renty; Animal Land; First Steps in Scientific Knowledge; Social Evenings; The Burial of the Guns, Page; Stories of Great Americans; Bracebridge Hall, Irving; Stories of Industry, Vol. I.; Storyland of Stars; Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin; Stories for Little Readers; In Mythland; The Last Days of Pompeii, Bulwer; Enoch Arden, Tennyson; A New Baby 'World; Chatterbox, 1896! The vVorld's Almanac.
On the inside of the top of each box is a list of the books contained in that library, and also a copy of the rules governing the conduct of the library. The following are the rules which have been used most satisfactorily:
"1. The teacher, or some pupil appointed by the teacher, shall act as librarian.
2. Tho teacher shall in erther case have the general supervision of the books, and see that they 'are not unnecessarily injured or lost.
3. No book can 1)8 taken from the library until it has been charged to the borrower, on the library record book, by the teacher or librarian.
4. No person will be allowed to have out more than one book at a time.
5. No book can be kept out of the library by any person longer than two weeks at a time.

54
6. When a book is kept out over time, a fine must be paid at the rate of one-half cent a day for each day over two weeks.
7. Anyone failing to pay a fine within ten days after it is due, or failing to have a book properly charged to his or her name by the librarian, at the time of taking it from the library, will forfeit all right to the use of the library for one month for each offense.
S. All right to the use of the library is withdrawn from anyone damaging any part of said library until damage has been made good.
The boxes will be sent out to schools when they may be in operation, >lnd must be returned to the office of the county school commissioner when the school closes, :if the vacation be longer than two weeks.
l~pon receipt of a box the teacher must see that it contains the books that belong to it as per the printed list accompanying, and then receipt for the same by entering his or her name and the date received in the record book accompanying the box. If any books are missing, the teacher should make the proper exceptions ber-fore signing, and promptly report such shortage to the commissioner.
The teacher must keep in the above-mentioned record book an aceurate record of each book taken out, noting the nallle of the pupil, the title of the book, the date taken out, and the date returned.
The good accomplished by the library will depend in a great measure on the teachers. They should themselves carefully examine the books,and see that proper selections are made by the indivudual pupils according to their grades and needs.
The teacher will be held responsible for the circulation of the books; see that none are lost and all returned ()IIl time. R egligence on the teacher's part will greatly retard the

55
accomplishment of the good for which the library has been instituted."
These libraries have been available to our public schools for about two years, and their success has been marked. Possibly the best means of showing their reception and capabilities is by introducing the testimony of a few witnesses-teachers in the schools of Newton county, who have llad the libraries in their schools.
The following is from J. A. Cowan, principal of Mansfield school:
"We have used a number of boxes from what is kJIlOWn as the traveling school library. To say that we are pleased ~with their use, is to put it very mildly.
A very large majority of the pupils read these books. They are also sought after by those not in school.
The first and most immediate effect is upon the order of the school-room. They help in a large measure to solve the question of how to keep order in the room. The children are anxious to finish lessons assigned so as to put, spare time on their favorite books. Thus work for all, all the time, is 'furnished for the dull as well as for the most apt.
Another most notable effect is upon the children themselyes, as shown by the improvement in their use of language, together with their increased taste for good literature.
A last but not least good result from use of the library is the increasing demand for and use of the dictionary.
The only suggestion we would offer is that we trust the board may see its way clear to increase their number."
The following is from Mortimer Ray,s, principal of Rayston school:
"The books are doing much good in my school. I can see that the children's minds are enriched, as evidenced by the frequent allusion, in ordinary conversation, to what they

56
have read. Their appreciation of the thought in their reading lessons is much increased by the library.
The intellectual attainment of country children upon the whole is not coequal with that of the cities and towns. Mamy physically large pupils are tiny little folks from a literary standpoint. The library furnishes good intellectual food for these infants.
The general interest manifested is very pleasing to me. Parents request through their children that I send a book which they themselves would like to }'ead. I have been called upon for books by those not directly interested in the school. We are sure that very much good is being done in our community."
Another from :M:iss Josie \Vebb, teacher of ,Voodla wn school:
"The number of books read increases with each successive labrary, and as the pupils become better acquainted with the books and more accustomed to reading them.
I think every child in school who could read at all, ,,-ith possibly one or two exceptions, read some of the books. Several of the very small children, who had not yet learned to read the books, were eager to take them home for their parents to read to them.
I think the libraries a:rc certainly doi11g good for my school in creating a taste for good reading among both pupils and patrons, which I am glad to see they are cultivating."
The following is from 1\iss Maggie L. \Vebb, Principal of J effers'On Academy:
"I am very much pleased to state that the books have awakened the interest of my pupilsto a great extent. They especially delight in nature stories. After having read the books, they like to ask questions about different plants and animals, and also examine the different object.s themselves and tell what they have learned.

57
All my pupils read the books, a'lld some of my patron" read them.
:Many children have an opportunity for cultivating a taste for good literature who otherwise would not, if it were not for the wise actio'll of the board of education in providing the schools with the traveli:ng libraries."
G. O. Adams, principal of the Pine Grove Academy, writes as follows:
"I feel sure that the pupils are benefited. Often they have bits of information which they get from the books. Of course the influence is like the growth of a sturdy oak, very slow; but surely much good will be derived from the books in the end.
About fifty per cent. of the patrons read the books. Some" of them sernd word to me that they enjoy reading them very much.
I think, with some help from teachers, these libraries will become intellectual levers which will lift the communities in which they are used upon a higher moral and educational plane. One patron who is too deaf to enjoy conversation enjoys reading during the long winter evenings. Sometimes when we have miscellaneous discussions on Friday afternoons, the pupils relate stories that they have read in some library book."
The following is from H. B. Adams, principal of Brickstore Academy:
'.'1 beEeve the libraries are doing a great good in my
school. It arouses and stimulates a love 'for good books, something that has heretofore bee'll sadly neglected in our country schools.
A few of the parents take an interest in the library. Some of my pupils read some of the books so much that they have just worn them out.

58
The small ones think it quite an honor to have read a book, and so they go right at it as soan as they can read a little in the finst reader."
The following is from Thomas J. Gardner, principal of Gum Creek school:
"The libraries excite an interest in even the dullest pupils for reading and a love for lemming.
Even the people not patrons of my school take great interest in reading the biographies and travels, and get information on amy general line.
People who have had very meager advantages along educational lines avail themselves of the opportunity of reading a free library.
A very poor widowed lady sent to me the other day to know if she might have a book to read.
The benefit and appreciation of books cannot be too highly estimated by the school amd the community at large."
The following is from J. D. Cornwell, principal of the school at Starrsville:
"The pupils who read seem to have a better command of language, and seem to better understand explanations. Discipline is easier, as pupils when they have learned their lessons will read a book instead of doing something that would be of less profit to them.
The books are not only read by pupils, but by other members ()If the family.
In most communities there are very few books except the libraries.
When the pupils have read the books in one library, they won't let the teacher have any peace urntil he gts another."
Dr. J. E. Martin, patron of Hopewell school, writes as follows:

59
"I 'Cannot say how much interest is shown by the communityat large in the books. I myself have read a book in the school library that I had heard of all my life: but never had an opportunity to read before. It certainly is the easiest and cheapest way of obtaining a quantity of good reading and doing the most good to the greatest number with the same amount of money.
I have always thought that Mr. Carnegie could do more good in this way than in contribut,ing to the cities which have so many advantages anyway."
A conwlidation of reports from nine schools shows the following to be: the order of popularity of subjects: (1) biography, (2) adventure, (3) fiction, (4) history, (5) nature, (6) travel, (7) miscellaneous, (8) poetry. It shows also that ninety per cent. of the books contained in the libraries are read, and that ninety"six per cent. of the pupils read the books.
Testimony has been introduced above from more than one-fourth of the white schools of Newton county, which should be a sufficiently large percentage to demonstrate the llSefulness of the libraries in our rural communities. Since this experiment made within the limits of a county has proved a success, I would suggest an enlargement of the scheme into a system of traveling libraries which would coveT the entire State.
Let each county board of education have its own system of libraries suited to its peculiar needs and maintained at its own expense; but in addition to these, there should be a system of traveling libraries belonging to all the counties in common and subject to the call of any individual county when wanted. In this way, special collections of books on selected subjects, frequently too costly to be purchased by each county for its own system of libraries, would be available at but slight expense to the individual

60

county. A community having a study club, a debating

society, a farmers' club, or in fact any association for mu-

tual improvement, could be furnished with selected read-

ing-matter bearing directly upon the subject to be consid-

ered, and that too from the leaders of thought in that par-

ticular realm. For instance, special collections could be

made for study clubs suitable for the study of history in

general or of any country in particular, as France; or of

any special period in that country's history, as the French

Revolution, or the rule of Napoleon; so that, according to

the minuteness of the inv.estigation to be pursued, from

thirty to fifty volumes of sele.cted reading-matter might be

furnished bearing directly on the subject being considered.

So collections could be made covering lll1'ndreds of other

subjects, such as farming, in general; sheep and cattle rais-

ing; corn, cotton and tobacco culture; hay and grain cr.ops;

manures and soils; intensive farming; dairying; household

economics; child study ; social science; finance, free trade

and protection; education; teachers' methods; Americilll

literature; German history; Spanish war; Monroe doctrine;

and so on ad infinitum.

These libraries should be equipped by a library commis-

s,ion appointed by the governor, the state school superin-

tendent being an ex officio member and the executive of-

ficer. The headquarters of these libraries should be the

state school superintendent's office, and they should be sent

out only on requisition of the county school superintendent,

and he should be held responsible for the same.

The teacher of the public school in each community

should be the local librarian, giving out and receiving in-

dividual books, and responsible to the county school super-

intendent; the local librarian to hold the individual bor-

rower responsible for any infraction of the library rules.

The machinery for such a system is already in existence,

and the whole scheme could be set in operation at a cost of

l i

l

61
less than one per cent. of the public school appropriation. :Nothing 'would be more helpful to the educational interests of the people at large, or tend more to strengthen and popl.llarize the present public school sy;sltem .
With books to read, the rainy day on the farm need no longer be an object of dread; the long winter evenings would become a time of intellectual growth. A common hond' of intereet would unite parent and child, and interTals of rest ami recreation would be made more pleasant by the discussion of topics suggested or enlivened with new interest by their reading. The specter o,f lonesomeness which now haunts th<3 housewife would in a large measure be dispelled. The children reared far from the petty jealousies and social dissipations and vices of town life, breathing the healthy and moral atmosphere of the farm, and with mind and heart open to receive the truth, would develop on normal, natural lines into intellectual beings stamped 'with the image of their Maker.
Improved isurroundings would cause the present dissatisfaction with farm life in a large measure to disappear. Intellectual quickening would in turn cause growth in many lines. Study clubs, debating societies, lyceums, lectures, concerts, and other means of improvement and recreation, would follow in time to add their charms to rural life; that purest, noblest, most independent, most ideal of all lives-the life of a country gentleman.
So would we take the various influences emanating from our country churches and public schools, stretching from side to side of our rural communities, and through them would we send back and forth the tiny shuttles called traveling libral'ies, weaving these bright threads into a noble mental fabric which shall clothe our people as with a garment.

Department of Education, State of Georgia, G. R. Glenn, CommissiO'ller. Atlanta, October 2211d, 1900.
To the County Superintendent: My Dear Sir-I enclose a blank for supplies that yon
will need for the year 1901. Please fill out this. blank at once and return to this office. I am anxious to have these blank reports printed and sent to the counties within the next thirty days.
I call your especial attention to the blanks for book reports. It is important that you place a copy of these blanks in the hands of every teacher while the ischool is in Sssion. The law requires that this book report shall be &ccurate and complete. I have been unable so far to get book reports from all the counties. I shall expect a complete book report from your county when the next returns are sent in.

Atlanta, November 30th, 1900.

To the County Superintendent:

My Dear Sir-Do not forget that the law sets apart the

first Friday in December as Arbor Day, and requires its

observance. The importance of tree planting cannot be

stressed too much in the schools. Permit me to suggest that

you plant such trees as walnut and pecan, hickory and ma-

ple, and other tree:s of similar value about your school

house.

Very truly yours,

G. R. GLENN,

State School Commissioner.

Office of State School Commissioner.
January 19th, 1901. To the County School Commissioner:
My Dear Sir:No.1. I have now sent to all thEY counties that have statements on file here the balances due on account of 1900. Please go over your reco,rds, carefully checking up everything with a view to ascertaini'ng if any mistake has occurred. If any error has occurred in my office I am anxious to correct it before balancing the books for the year. All balances from 1900 will be credited to the counties properly and made a part of the school fund of 1901. A.s soon as you have made final settlement for 1900, make out 3'our annual report (blanks for which have been sent you), and forward the bame to this office.
No.2. If your board should at any time during the 3'car deeire to borrow money to save the teachers usurious rates of interest, the banks in Atlanta will lend you money at 7 per cent. per annum. Your local banks will probably let you have the money at the same rate when they find you can get it in Atlanta. It is better, of course, to get the money from the'local bank if you can do so at the legal rate of interest.
X o. 3. Advise your teachers that we shall use only one professional book in connection with the examination this year, namely Roark"'" Methods, p~blished by the American Book Company. Roark is a distinguished Southern educator and his book will, I think, be very helpful to our teachers. Any teacher can order this book from the American Book Company at Atlanta by sending $1.00 and the book will be returned postage prepaid. If the Commissioner orders the books in one order for all that desire them in the county he can obtain the books, perhaps, at the usual

64
discount. The next general examination will occur about the usual time.
X o. 4. I have been requested by the Bar Association and by the Federation of vVomen's Clubs to call your attention to two important days in the near future. The lawyers will celebrate the 4th of February, the 100th anniversary 0+ Chief Justice Marshall's accession to the bench of the Supreme Court of the United States. I think it would be profitable for your teachers to take at least one hour of the school session and acquaint the childrern with the main incidents and events in the life of the great American chief justice.
The ladies will celebrate the 12th of February as Georgia Day, or Oglethorpe Day. Our children know too little about the early history of Georgia. I suggest that you prepare an 11Our'S programme that will embody such facts and incidents in connection with our early history as will impress, in an instructive and helpful way, wholesome lessons upon the minds of the children.

To the County Superintendent: Dear Sir-You will doubtless recall that at the Conven-
tion of the County School Commissioners held last year in Barnesville, it was decided to meet this year at lfacon some time in May.
It has been suggested that the meeting of our convention be changed to Athens, and this suggestion is approved by a majority of the executive, committee. The reasons for the suggested change of place are: that from May 9th to 11th, inclusive, there will be held in Athens an extensive educational exhibit, in which will be shown 'some three or four thousand specimens 'Of school work from Boston, Brooklyn, Philadelphia, Washington City, Chicago and San Francisco, together with about ten thousand specimens from the Athens city schools, in fact every line of school work that can be put into visible shape will be shown.
In addition to this, at this date the University of Georgia, Lucy Cobb Institute, State Normal School and Athens city schools will be in session and open for inspection, all of which will give the Commissioners an opportunity for beneficial observation.
As a member of our executive committee lives in Athens, it will be safe to assume'that local arrangements will be looked after in a manner that will be entirely satisfactory to the members of the convention.

There will be no trouble in getting as good railroad rates

as have been secured for other places, and cost of enter-

tainment will be no greater-possibly less.

I trust it is your intention to attend this convention this

year, and if so, please notify me by return mail, and also

whether you approve this suggested change from Macon to

Athens. I enclose a postal card :for expression of your con-

sent, if you desire the change from Macon to Athens.

Office of

State School Commissioner.

Atlanta, Ga., April 30, 1901.

To the County and City Superintendent:

The president of the Georgia division of the U. D. C.

has appointed May the 10th for the observance of such ex-

ercises as may be suitable in connection with a collection

for the "Vinnie Davis Memorial. As you are aware, the

ladies have undertaken to erect a memorial building to be

used as a dormitory at the State Normal School. Every

school o,fficer, teacher and child should be interested in this

building. It is to be a home for teachers who may be stu-

dents at the normal school. Every penny that is contrib-

uted for this purpose not only aids in the erection of a

structure that will commemorate the life of a noble woman,

but the building will also be the home of the young ladies

who are training themselves to become the teachers of the

children.

I trust that the matter will be brought to the attention

of our people in every county in the State. A contribution,

however small, from every county will help. Please in-

terest your teachers and your children in the matter, and

send your contributions to Mrs. Hallie A. Rounsaville"

Rome, Ga.

Yours very truly,

G. R. GLENN,

State School Commissioner.

Office of State School Commissioner. Atlanta, Ga., May 13th, 1901. To the County School Superintendent: The next general examination will be held on Saturday, June the 1st. The questions will be sent to you by express under sealed packages.

69
Questions upon methods will be taken from Roark's Methods, as you have been previously advised. There will be ten questions upon each topic except spelling and penmanship; there will be five questions only upon spelling and five Upvfi penmanship. I have endeayored to make the examination intensely practical. There are no "catch" questions. Each question is valued at ten. If the applicant should answer cc1rrectly all the questions under any one branch, his averagE> in that branch would be 100, (spelling and penmanship being thrown together, the average for the two will be countiJd as the average for one topic).
For a third grade license the general average of the applicant is fixed at 75; for a second grade license the general average is fixed at 82.5; for a first grade license the general average is fixed at 90; grade your papers according to these limits for the three classes of license.
r trust it is not necessary for me to emphasize again the
importance of the utmost care on your part in examining the papers of those whom you recommend for State license. When you send a paper here that rs found to be below the average required 101' State license, namely, 95 per cent., you impose a double burden upon me. Please, therefore, do not send papers to this office unless you are reasonably .certain that a license, can be issued on each paper.
The law requires that whites and blacks must be examined in separate rooms and authorizes the employment of such assistance as may be necessary for the proper supervision of the examination.
'The package containing the questions lJS sent under seal, .and when received must be kept in some safe vault until the day of the examination.
Any attempt at fraud on the part of any applicant will void the examination so far as that applicant is concerned.

70 All parties except those now holding an unexpired county license or a State license must stand the examination. The lrust legislature repealed all laws exempting those holding diplomas or certficates of any character whatever.

State School Oommissioner.

Chairman Glenn.-The firBt topic for discussion this afternoon is an extremely important one, "How to Secu;'c Good Schoolhouses and School Equipment." This is a very practical question, and your committee thought ,ve ought to have to lead that discussion a very practical man, a man who has had long experience in this very matter, and 1 aill very glad they selected to lead in that discussion Ibn. J. E. Houseal of Polk county.
:Mr. Houseal.-'When I first read this question, I thought I would greatly prefer that some other gentleman of this convention had it. I consider this a very practical question, and in more than one sense a very material question. It deals with those things, which require more work than theory. It reminded me, when I first began to think about it, >of a question written to me by a teacher as fonows.

83
"How would you govern a school ?" Well, I sat down and thought the matter over, wrote a page or two, and then threw it away. I tried it again, and then threw that away. Finally I simply wrote to him to "just govern it." That'!B pretty much my idea about building schoolhouses-just build them.
Now, there are so many questions lying in the way of building schoolhouses that I do not think a rule could be laid down by which tOI build schoolhouses. I believe you said that you did not want the importance of the schoolhouse discussed. It is not my province to do that, or to tell you of the influences of the schoolhouses, or of their great benefit, but it is my business to tell you how to build these schoolhouses, so far as I know.
I have found no better way to do it except to stir people up through the public print in my county. I have written article after article, and this is not a waste of time. We want to get them worked up and stirred up and enthused over the fact that their children need schoolhouses, and we must build them for them somehow.
If you can't enthuse them this way, call public meetings to discuss this matter, and this matter alone. :Make it a single idea in your work, when you want to build schools, to call them together for the purpose of discussing the matter of building a schoolhouse. I have found sometimes that I could reach people in no other way.
You must reach some people by contact, and present this matter to them, while looking them in the eye. No doubt a great many commissioners have found no difficulty in get- . ting the consent of a community for a schoolhouse to be built, but have found considerable difficulty in getting their consent to give the money to build it. This has been largely my experIence.
There are various ways to do that. My opinion is that one of the most important factors in building these school-

84
houses is to get a good live teacher to take hold of the matter, and have him talk schoolhouse, schoolhouse, schoolhouse until the people will build a schoolhouse in some way or other to shut his mouth up.
Sometimes I have found some trouble in the matter of building schoolhouses in locating them. :Most every fellow wants it right at his ash-hopper, within a stone's throw of his child. Sometimes I have great difficulty in pacifying them all, but I tell them we'll arrange all that, and I don't say anything definite about location until after I have gotten the money. My plan is to keep crying 'out the school house, the schoolhouse, without saying anything about where it is to be located. Sometimes I get them finally worked up to the point where they will say: we will subscribe the money, we will put it in the bank, and we will leave the location entirely to the County Commissioner. By the way, I got myself into a terrible row once on this line, but that isn't necessary here. However, what I want to impress particularly, is that you will never build a school house unless you get their c'onsent for you to locate it yourself.
I want to say that I am glad to see from reports that schoolhouses are being built all over Georgia, and the impetus in this direction seems to be on the increase. I think it is 'one of the best signs of the success of the common schools~ It has been my policy to fill my county with school-houses before I went into these other things. I believe in one thing at a time.
I want to say in conclusion, sir, that I think the day is not far distant-probably within the lives of these commissioners-when comfortable, nice modern schoolhouses shall dot every hill-top, and be seen in every valley in this grand old State. I believe it is possible to make this State not only the Empire State of the South in the various lines of industry, in which it excels, but also in the training of her

85
children, and the building up of a future in them, which will be a credit to the State.
Supt. FLorence of Morgan.-Mr. Houseal, when the Board of Education appropriates money for the schoolhouse, are there any other exercises held in the school, lik(J Sunday-school, etc. ?
Supt. Houseal.-No, Sir. It looks like carrying things to the extreme, but we wont let anybody preach even in the school. We wont allow them used for anything but school. We started that and we found it led us into difficulties. They wanted it to preach in, they wanted it for Sundayschool, they wanted it for magic lantern shows, and to give entertainments in. So we passed a resolution not to use it for anything in the world except to keep school in it.
I neglected to say that we do all we can to help the people build schoolhouses. We pay our teachers salaries instead of paying on the old per diem system, and manage to expend some of the State fund in helping to build schoolhouses. We accumulated for some three or four years a good sized fund, and we are using that to help build houses.
Supt. Moore of Sumter.-Stated that in his county practically the same system outlined by Mr. Houseal had been followed. However, it differed in that his Board or Education furnished the material and the people did the work. They put in about $250 to $300 for mateiral for each house, and, while it was not fancy, it is a nice, comfortable house, neatly painted, and presents a good appearance. They do not beg any community to build. After interest in educational matters has been sufficiently aroused in a community, they come to the Board of Education, and the board lets them alone until the spirit moves, 'so to speak, and it moves as fast as the board cares to expend money in that direction. It was gratifying to him to state that in his county there was a good school in every school district ex cept one.

86
Question: Did you say that you had a good school in every school district except one?
Answer: Yes, sir, but the Board of Education does not own all those schoolhouses. There are a few districts whero the schools were built years ago'. Of course we do not own those.
Supt. Houseal.-I want to ask a question. I want to know if there is any county represented here who.se Board of Ed\lcation owns negro schools.
Ans. Yes, sir; Fulton.
Supt. Houseal.-I have dodged that queBtion all the time
r have had negroes to warnt to deed their school properly to
the board, but I have thought it was nat wise to let them do it. I want to know what the experience of the commis sioners has been about this matter. My judgment is that it is bad policy to own negro schools.
Supt. Rogers ,of W ashington.-All the negro' schools that have been built in the last four years in our county, belong to our county board.
Supt. Dozier of Olarke.-I would like to ask Mr. Houseal what the trouble on his mind is, that is, the trouble arising from the Board of Education owning negro schoolhouses.
Supt. Houseal.-"Vell, the simple fact that you cannot get reliable trustees from their race. Another thing is that they want you to keep it up without any assistance from their race at all. I think it would be a burden on the fund to own them. That's my opinion about it.
Supt. Dozier of Olarke.-The Board of Education owns one negro schoolhouse in this county. We have found no trouble on this line. "Ve have reliable trustees, and they make reports of such repairs as are needed from time to time, and where it is necessary the board pays for such repairs.

~7
Supt. Dozier then explained at length his method of ac. cumulating a fund by geUrng allowances through grand juries, and supplementing same by such amount from the school fund, as in the discretion of the board, might be necessary. So far, however, they have been enabled to make the people pay for them, and the board pays insurance and ordinary incidental repairs. They do not al1o'w the school to be used for any other purpose than for the school exer cises. The property is in the hands of three property trustees, and they are not allowed to have any meetings or other gatherings in the schoolhouses without the consent of the Board of Education.
Supt. Bagwell of Gwinnett.-I am interested in this question, because we are having a good deal of trouble along this line. \Ve built nine new schoolhouses this year with out a cent of appropriation from the bomd, except in two schools, where it took part of the teachers' salary. The trouble with us is that we have about sixty good school houses that the people have built themselves, and paid for them. If we undertake to U8e part of the money tha.t comes from the State to build schoolhouses, they say that this fund ought to be used to pay teachers.
Lawyers tell us that we can't do it. They say there is no law authorizing a county board to use funds from the State to build county schoolho118es. They pro'bably regard it as "against the constitution." (Laughter.) While this point is up, I am glad that this point has been brought out. If there is no la,w for it, there should be a law for it, and it seems to me to be a good time that we should discuss the law at "this particular time, so much is being said about it all over Georgia.
Supt. Henley of Pickens.-Said the way to build a schoolhouse is to, get public sentiment aroused, and just get out land build it by some means. He mentioned the fact that it was a good deal easier in his county to get up senti-

88
ment than it is to get up money. The people are hardly able to back up their sentiment with their money. Mr. Henley told the convention about making a map of his county, and by that means locating every child in the county, which hals proven of great assistance, especially in the location of prospective schoolhouses.
Supt. Duggan of Hancock.-I do not propose to detain you but a minute, but it occms to me that it is the part of wisdom to look at the difficulties in the way of building schoolhouses, and see if we cannot remedy them. One is the lack of interest on the part of the people, and the other is the lack of aid on the part of the Board of Education. We might supply the lack of the former, but the latter can only be remedied when the Board of Education is led to understand that the appropriation from t!te State doeG not belong to the teachers, but it is a trust fund placed in their hands to be used for the best educational interests of their county, be that whatever it may.
Supt. Jones of Early.-Said that in regard to the negro school business, he could answer a few points. Mr. Jones said that he knew negroes well, that he was raised with them, and knew their ways. The best way to make a negro a good citizen is to let him own a home, and the Board of Education help them to keep up the schoolhouses. Mr. Jones said that the way he would advise to build schoolhouses would be to fO'llow the practice in Early county. They have a dispensary there, and last year it paid $2,500 into the school fund, and he thinks it much better practice to have a dispensary in each county instead of bar-rooms, and make the dispensary pay in taxes, with which to build schoolhouses.
CO'L Reed of Jasper county.-We first offered to assist any community that would furnish the framing and build the house by giving all of the dressed lumber, shingles, dool1s and windows that were needed for the house, and the

89
first community in the county that accepted our offer was a colored community. The first schoolhouse in Jasper, that the board got possession of, was built in a negro community two years ago. The last .one-a much better housewas built in a negro community.
As to raising money, Mr. Reed stated that his board usually sets aside a certain amount for expenses, and the balance goes to pay teachers at the different schools. Several years ago a number of applicants failed to get teacher's licenses. The result was there was no school at the houses they were to be assigned to, and the fund 'or their pay was left in the hands of the board, which was appropriated towards the building of schoolhouses.
Supt. Wooding of Banks.-Stated that. he had had some rich experiences along this line. Several years ago he called a meeting for the purpose of discussing the erection of a schoolhouse, at which meeting a prominent wealthy citizen was present. Col. Wooding suggested that the best way to build the schoolhouse was to get up the money, whereupon the wealthy citizen agreed with him fully as to the point-involved, and said "Col. 'tVooding, how much will you give ?" This is the way. They expect the commissioner or his board to do it all.
"It seems' to me," continued Col. Wooding, "that wh81l
the county board pay teachers out of the school appropriation, the people ought to furnish the house. As a matter of fact, I don't get money enough to pay a teacher what I really think he is worth, much less build schoolhouses. I tried teaching school for fifteen years, and came out in
debt." "We say to the people, you furnish the schoolhouse, and
we'll run a school there. We tell them further that the schoolhouse they furnish must be good enough to winter a CJw."

90
Supt. Florence of Morgan.-When we get the estimate -of the amount that will be coming to our county some timE: about the first of February we make an estimate of what it will take to run the schools ~lready in operation, and leave about a thousand dollars as a margin for unforeseen expenses. The Board of Education then is called. They fix the salarie5 of the teachers of the respective schools, and let this thousand dollars remain. We may establish other schools, we may have to employ other teachers, we may have to build schoolhouseis, or buy furniture or something with this $1,000. This plan has usually left to our credit about $200 or $300 to begin the new year. With that $200 or $300 we usually encourage the building of schoolhouses in those communities that want them. We make the community contribute very liberally, and we put in say $5001' $60, some1tlimes as high ms $100 and $125.00. We have now twenty"six white schools in the county. Of these eighteen belong to the Board of Education. The property is deeded to the Board of Education, and is the property 01 the Board of Education to be used for the education of chilchen. ,Ve have three colored schools that belong to: the Board of Education. In all the schools built the patrons have put in from one half to two-thirds, probably threefourths of the monoy.
Supt. A . .T. Beck of DeKalb county.-I belong to the
class of school superintendent!s who have not had very much experience in building schoolhouses, but I am looking forward to experience. So I will not be able to furnish my lJrethren with any valuable facts, but I want to say this: Among the many hindrances to our county school work there are not many of more real force than the sentiment, which has prevailed largely, and still prevails to some extent, that the money appropriated by our State is appropriated to pay teachers. It is an appropriation for the education d our children, and the very first step irn educational

91
work according to my experience: as a teacher and my ob. servation, is the building of comfortable and commodious schoolhouses. Another thing, the sentiment to which I have referred has exerted beyond all question a very bad influence over boards of education and over teaehers themselves. Teachers have been led to look upon this money ae rightfully belonging to them, and somehow it seems to mE there has developed this conception of the work. Further, it is clear to my mind that the law contemplat,es that at lewst a part of this money shall be used to purchase sites for houses, build houses and purchase appliances for our schools. Our general school law clearly sets forth the right of Boards of Education to use money for these purposes,. The law was passed by the legislature. Whether it is constitutional or not, I don't know. It has not yet been submitted to Mr. Park. (Laughter.)
Supt. Dodd of Oampbell.-Said that in his county they 110whave the salary system of paying school-teachers, and that Oampbell county will never do anything hereafter but pay salaries. This was more satisfactory than any plan yet followed. Supt. Dodd stated that in regard to building schoolhouses they allowed each community to build its own schoolhouse, the board helping them a little here and there.
'The matter of the race question gives no trouble. Pay to the teachers is $25.00 to $45.00 for white teachers, $18.00 to $24.00 colored.
1fr. Dodd's remarks closed the discussion on "How to secm'e Good Schoolhouses and School Equipment."
Ohairman Glenn.-Before we adjourn I want to read a communication received from the iwcretary of the faculty of the university, as follows:
Athems, Ga., :May7, 1901, Hon. G. R. Glenn, President, City:
Dear Sir.-I am instructed by the Faculty of the University to extend to the Oonvention of Oounty School Oom-

92
missioners a cordial invitation to meet in the library I'oom to-morrow, Wednesday afternoon, 'at half past four o'clock, in order to meet the members of the faculty, and be shawl! over the ground" and buildings of the University.
They are also cordially invited to avail themselves of any of the facilities of the University. which may be of service to them in the work of the convention.
Very respectfully, W. D. HOOPER,
Secrp.tary of the Faculty.
This invitation was ac.cepted with the thanks of the convention by unanimous vote.
Prof. Branson, President of the State Normal School, then invited the convention to come in the State Normal School at half past eight the next morning to witness the opening exercises of the school, after which the convention could hold its morning session in thE' Normal School chapel.
This invitation was accepted by an unanimous vote of the convention, and thanks were returned for samp. by the chairman on behalf of that body.
On motion adjourned to meet at 8 p. m. in the Athenmum Hall.
EVENING SESSION, 8 P. M.
The convention was called to order by Secretary Duggan, of Hancock county, in the absence of Ohairman Glenn. Mr. Duggan requested Mr. Houseal, of Polk, to preside in the absence of the chairman, who came forward and took the chair.
Mr. Houseal announced the first topic for discussion"Local Taxation"-and called the leader of this discussion, Hon. M. B. Dennis, of Putnam, who spoke as follows:

93
"Gentlemen.-This term-local taxation,-of course relates to the creation and maintenance in individual counties of a fund supplementary to the present school fund derived from direct taxation and certain specific sources. In the inauguration by any county or counties of the local taxation system it is not contemplated, we apprehend, that the present fund is to be reduced, or in any way set aside to be substituted by local taxation. On the contrary the present amount received directly or indirectly from the State treasury is to be preserved, which, added to a supplemental fund to be realized from local taxation, will enable the county or counties adopting the system to operate the schools two months longer than at present.
"This is one O'f the most important phases of the educational question, that we have to deal with. There is more involved in it than any other subject relating to the education of our youth. Its possibilities are greater. It comes nearer being the panacea for all the present educational ill;:: than any other remedy. Everyone, who has given the subject any thought whatever, realizes this, and were its adoption left to the few, who have expended any thought thereon, the schools would be placed on a sound financial basis with a term of at least nine months.
"Unfortunately the settlement of the question is not left to this class, but to the great mass scattered over the country, who have never given the matter a serious thought; who have no conception of its possibilities; who are igno'l'lant of its workings, and who on account of ignorance, prejudice and narrowness, see no special good in the thing per se, and who have no specific interest in education. But interest or no interest, it is to these we must look for relief, if relief shall ever come. These people constitute the great mass of voters and taxpayers, and on their vote hinges the success or the failure of the scheme.

94
"It is true we have on our statute-book a prOVISIOn, by which any county, on the recommendation of two consecutive grand juries and a two-thirds vote of its qualified voters, can inagurate a system of local taxation for school purposes, but the severe restrictions thrown around the provision, and which must be met before the measure can becOme effective, render it practically a nullity. It is impracticable in that it is almost impossible to get two consecutive grand juries-representatives of the masses above described-to recommend the extra levy. If, however, this should be secured, to get the necessary two-thirds of the qualified voters to cast their ballots for it is next to impossible, because of inaccessibility of polls, indifference, ignorance and prejudice. Especially is this true in tho counties where the towns have already inaugurated a special system independent of the balance of the country.
"In the face of these difficulties, then, we see the great necessity for public sentiment favorable to bettersehooIssuch a public sentiment indeed as will practically amount to a revolution.
"\Ve are forced, then, to go back to the: Legislature: for relief. Under the present status of affaim-with ,the present low state of public 'sentiment; with a knowledge among the law-makers of this condition of things, and a feeling that the people already have a remedy on the statute-hooks in the shap<- elf that local option law, that will affO'1'd them relief, if they really want it; and with the conviction that because the people do not take advantage of the local option law is evidence sufficient they do not desire the advantages offered thereby; with these difficulties confronting us we cannot hope for much from the Legoislatllrn 11n1""s men be sent to that body, who are not swayed by political ambition, and the hope of future reward at the hands of voters.
"For relief then we must go further back. ,Yo: must go
back to the source of the I~egislature~tothe voters. This

95
method is slow, but sure. It eannot be accomplished in a year, but, when accomplished, it will be abiding became its foundation is deeply and securely laid. The people must be educated to the necessit0'" and importance of the system; they must be led to see its possibilities, its advantages, its workings. This done, the educational interest of the State will lack no good thing. It therefore devolves upon us, as superintendents, as teachers, and upon all in anywise inte~'ested to do all we can to bring about this condition. Fellow superintendents, what are you doing towards creating this public sentiment?
"That we need a more comprehensive public school sy'S-tem, and one better adapted to the needs of the children to be educated and prepared for life, that we need a sydem with greater possibilities, one that will more nearly answer the purpose for which it was created, there can be no question. That we need better school buildings and better and more comfortable furniture and other appliances no one will dare deny. That we need as instructors for our children the very hest teachers the land can a.Hol,d, everyone with a grain of common sense must admit.
"But how can thew be secured? This is the all-perplexing problem that is agitating the educational world to~day. So far as the towns and cities are concerned the question is being rapidly and practically settled. It is with reference to the rural districts that the problem becomes kn:\tty and intricate. A final settlement of this question ~lld a practical application of the same to the country districts will be hailed with inexplicable delight by all interested in this grand work.
"No system of public instruction can be half what it should be if it fails to provide at least nine months efficient schooling for the children every year. No system can accomplish what it should, unless it provides good comfortable srilOO] houses, and decent suitable furniture and other'

96
necessary helps for the teachers. And last, though not least, any system is a farce that fails to provide well qualified and proficient teachers. True be~ond cLoubt," but to have a nine-months free term more money is needed. To have better schoolhouses and more comfortable seats money is again demanded. To have the best teachers, and to be enabled to retain them long enough to get the schools organized and in good working order, more money is indispensable. 'It is money, money, money,' cry the close-fisted everywhere. But money represents value. This thing, education, then must be very valuable. So it is. It is more valuable than Bilver or gold, and more to be desired than precious stones. Next to a new life in Christ Jesus, it is most valuable. It affects mot only time, but C1ternity. No energy, time, or money properly spent for education is lost. It is no sacrifice. It is an investment in moral and intellectual power that shall be nEed in after years to bless and elevate the world.
"But how shall this money be raised ~ Shall it be by voluntary contributions? This plan has been practiced in some sections with a considerable degree of success, but it has serious objections. In the first place, it is burdensome to a few faithful patrons that usually have the bulk of the load to bear. In the second, it is predicated on the interest and enthusiasm of the people in the cause of education,
which is spasmodic. In the third place, it is very indefinite
and uncertain. In the fourth, it necessarily {mtails much unpleasant work upon those who must collect the subscriptions. In the fifth, very few teachers will consent to take a work of this sort unless the local trustees become responsible for their salaries. In the sixth, no set of trustees like to assume this responsibility.
"Shall we go back to the old tuition plan ~ Impossible" An inauguration of this old ante-bellum system would practically mean no education for the mass of children outside

97
of that furnished by the State already, and would drive from the State every first-class teacher within her borders.
",VeIl, how then is the money to be raised? The're is but one sensible answer to this question, and that answer substantially has long since been proclaimed to the world by alm05t every civilized nation on the earth. "With the e0i:~eption of a number of the Southern States the question has been stttisfactorily answered, and thoroughly tested by the United States of America. Local ta0i:ation is the only -common-sense business-like way by which this money can be raised. If local ta0i:ation is not the best plan, suppose you that Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Oonneeticut, N ew York, :Maryland, and numbers of other Northern and ,Vestern States, that have operated this plan for years, would not have discovered the fact? Look at Bibb, Richmond, Glynn, and other counties of Georgia, the public school systems of which are maintained by local ta0i:ation. These counties in educational advantages and progres5 stand amid the other sister counties of the Empire State of the South like giant peaks towering aloft above the surrounding but inferior mountains.
"They have prospered under the system and are proudly marching onward and upward to higher heights of prosperity and usefulness, and by their e0i:ample, as well as by pre'eept, they are beckoning us to follow after. Shall we follow, or shall we continue to plod along in the same old unsatisfactory way ? We shall see.
"The school age is from si0i: to eighteen years. The ma0i:inmm number of years then a child can attend the public schools is twelve. Granting that a child on entering a six month5 school has good luck aUld attends regularly, when the twelve years' course is finished he will have, attended only seventy-two months. The same boy, entering a ten months school and attending equally as regular at the ex-

98
piration of the same time will have attended one hundred; and twenty months.
"Not all. Allowing that the instruction is equal in both institutions, the boy in the six months school will just complete the seventh grade, which amounts to about half preparation for college. In the ten months school, however, he will complete the twelfth grade, and be ready for college. This illustrates clearly the difference between the schooling a child gets in town where he has a ten months school to attend, and in the country, where his school is operated: only six months.
"But how is it the towns can have ten months free term and the country not? It is made possible in the towns only by local taxation. The country, by adopting the same method, can have it too. It is no more burdensome in proportion on the country than on the towns. The country children are entitled to as many and as good educational advantages as those of the towns, and should have them, it matters not what it costs. vVhen it comes to questions of right and wrong, it is an evil of the greatest sort to refuse to do right becau,e it costs something. It matters not how little it may seem to cost in dollal's and cents, in the long run it is the most expensive thing in the world to do wrong.
"To give a county such a system is but giving it itsrights; to withhold it is to strike at local self-government. It seems to me that every county should demand and secure as a right the power to apply her educational tax to the county schools. The people of a county can as well determine what is best for them in educational affairs as can Atlanta, Oolumbus, or Marietta, and they should do it. If such a system is adopted, the people instead of having schoo,ls running 100 days in the year, in session at unreasonable times, in huts, or churches, or untenable houses,_ with no school furniture, and oftentimes taught by ignorant, untrained and poorly-paid teachers, with no skilled.
~I

99
supervision or graded course of study, or system of government, there would be: nine months school taught in comfortable houses by trained educated teachers, who are paid salaries that will justify skilled teachers remaining in the work; the whole supervised by the most skilled specialist, who devotes his entire time to the improvement of the schools, supported by a strong Board of Education. By such a system every country district is guaranteed as good a school as the city.
((But the cost! the cost! some will say. It already costs quite a sum of money for the very imperfect system, and in many cases the county gets back from the State fund less than it pays in. Is it not better to pay a little more and have a good system under local control? The additional co'.'t would not be more than 25 or 50 cents on the hundred. If a man pays tax on $1,000, his school tax woultl be about $5.00 per year. Is there a man so selfish as to begrudge this sum for the education of the children of hi,; neighbor, even if he has none of his own? All classes have to support the government for the benefit of the POQ1' as well as rich. All help to feed the poor, to pension the 01(1 soldier, to try criminals, to build roads, and these cost money, and it is paid by rich and poor alike. Shall the rich then use as an argument against the school tax that he ought to not pay such a tax because he has no children, or because he paid to have his educated? I get no benefit from pensions, hence I will not pay the tax. No man can pay the school tax without receiving four-fold. The increase in population and value of lands, the enlightenment and elevation of the community, the equipping of the children with the wisdom of the age,s for life's work, and the securing of intelligent, honest labor, the inspiring of a love of country and home, and the making of good citizens; surely these results far outweight the small sum each is re-quired to pay for the support of the country schools."

During the speech of ~Il'. Dennis the chairman, ~Ir.

Glenn, came in.

:Mr. Houseal.-Gentlemen, this question is open for dis-

CUSSIOn.
~rr. Houseal then surrendered the chair to J\Ir. Glenn,

the permanent chairman, and took the floor, speaking in

substance as follows:

Gentlemen, I discussed this subject of local taxation with

some prominent men in my county, and I was always met'

with the argument that they were willing to be taxed, if I

could convince them that we could cHl'r.)' out this scheme of

local taxation without so much of the lUoney raised by this

system going to educate the negro.

}Iy trouble has been, 11O>wever, mainly what :Mr. Dennis

spoke of. I can carry it in my county, so far as the two-

thirds vote is concerned, but I cannot get the recommenda-

tions of two successive grand juries. One of the troubles

about this is that the grand juries are largely made up of

men who have educated their children. ~arrowing it down, however, my only hope for local tax-

ation is to work at it just like we work at other things in

ihis school question, that is with an indefatigable energy,

and with a will that goes forth undismayed \vhatever may

be the obstacle. Influence public sentiment, and try to

eonvert the people, who compose these grand juries.

Supt. Attaway, of Cherokee.-This question of taxation

is always a delicate question. No matter what view you

take of it, no matter in what phase it presents itself, if you

submit it to the people, you have submitted a question,

which they will seriously consider before acting. 'Ve put

all this vast 'school machinery into operation for the accom-

:1

I

plishment of a certain purpose, and that purpose is the eclu-

cation of the children. If the object is not accomplished,

the whole thing is a failure as a matter of comse. Now

the people all over Georgia have been taught for the last

101
thirty years to look to the State for the appropriation fOl' public school purpos's. They have been inoculated with the idea that the State must fUl'nish the means for tllO education of the children of our country.
X ow the question we are co:nsidering to-night is this: Shall we go to the people as commissioners and as school officers, and ask them to tax themselves, and secure an additional fund for this purpose? I want this thing accomplished if by any means in my power I can bring about its accomplishment, but you can't get two successive graml juries to recommend it. The keynote was sounded when it "'as said that, whenever the people put the proper valli ation on education, then only will they agree to tax the111selves to increase the amount appropriated by the State.
Now, as I stated above, it is a delicate question, and a representative in the Legislature, who desires to represent his people, when you ask him to put an additional tax upon them for any purpose, first ask himself what his people at home will say. ",Vill they endorse an action of that sort? If, in looking back towards his constitue:ncy, he says no, then that legislator is set against it.
So, as Mr. Dennis says, we must talk to the people fac'e to face, and convice them that to advance the cause of (',Incation we must have more money. vVe can only wait 111ltil the people are awakened to the fact that they cannot afford to allow these "babes in the woods" to go une,llloated.
My idea has always been just to give them as much ('11ucation as possible, run our schools as long as we possibly can on the means we have at our command, and secure tllO very best talent under the circumstances that we possibly can to instruct these children". For any further appropriations from any source we will simply have to wait until public sentiment is sufficiently aroused to the importance of education to give us a greater fund for operation.

102
Supt. A. J. Beck, of DeKalb.-I agree with :Mr. Dennis in this proposition that before \ve can make our public school system a success we must have more money. -The State appropriates $27.12, taking the appropriation :for this year as a basis, for the education of a boyar girl, $2.26 a .year for twelve years. To state the proposition is to show iisutter absurdity.
There is an unwillingness on the part of parents in our <lOllntry districts to supplement this fund, and I have no hesitation whatever in facing our State School Commissioner and this body, and declaring that our system as a system is a failure. IVe are not educating the children of Georgia. There are ma'ny good schools in our cities and towns, but judging the State by the ,section with which I am acquainted, I have no hesitation in saying that many of our schools are failures. We cannot educate a child with *27.12.
N ow we are shut up to one of two alternatives. IVe mnst put more money into the system, or we must allow it to continue as a failure. I don't believe that the State will increase its appropriation. I don't think it ought to for the reason that it is unfair, I don't know the exact figures, but J am told that more than 100 counties in the State of Georgia get more from the State treasurer than they pay into the State treasury in taxes.
A voice.-One hundred and seventeen.
One hundred and seventeen counties are getting more out of it than they are paying into it, leaving twenty counties to bear the burden of State government responsibility. It is not fair to the twenty to lay any greater burden on them, but we must have more money. It must be by volnntary contribution from patrons of the schools, or by local taxation. I don't believe that it is possible to get tuition from patrons that will amount to any substantial benefit.

10:3
The sense of parental obligation has been weakened, and I may say actually destroyed in cases.
Orre of the best ways to overcome difficulties is to recognize them. It is true that we shall find difficulties in getting recommendations from grand juries. I am trying that this week. I laid my report before the grand jury with recommendations yesterday-my first effort. These grand juries, as has been suggested, are composed of some men who have no children to educate. Many of them are prop,erty holders, and they don't like the idea of taxation. There is a difficulty there, but the difficulty back of all is the lack 'Of feeling of parental respomibility.
I can recollect the time when people of this countryand poor people-did not hesitate to pay tuition. I taught school a year before the public school system ~was inaugurated. Under the old law a man unable to pay tuition would report his children as indigent children, and the 01',dinary would pay 10 cents a day for their schooling. My recollection is that only one man in all the community repOl'1ed his children to me as indigents. I do not recollect a failure in a single instance to collect the tuition. As soon :as the schools began to draw from the State, teachers began to make contracts with the people to take the public fund and so many cents additional; after a while they began to go through the country offering to take the school fo,r the public fund, and then for the public, etc., etc., ad nansearn. The people of this country are losing their seme of responsibility to the children God has given them.
Another thing, the spirit of commercialism is dominating our country. It is reaching into our country districts, and is destroying the very manhood of our people. The ,difficulties seem almost impossible to overcome. I have thought of it until my heart has grown sick, but because the difficulties are great we ought not to give way before them, or relax our effort, or say that effort is useless.

104
I believe that the race question can be managed ,~ery well. Suppose that we cannot. Shall we dwarf our own children because of the fear that we may benefit tke negro?
Board JYIember.-If we cannot get the children to go to school for five months, why do you want more money tomake a longer term? 1Vhen we ask for more money, ancl lengthen the term, this must be done hand in hand with compulsory education.
Supt. Maddox, of Butts, said that the one thing necessary to better the condition of the public schools of Georgia is more money. How shall we get that money? It mnst he by taxation., This taxation, however, must he uniform all over the State, and not a local taxation. I don't know anything in this world that would produce more discord in. om system than local taxation. (Applause). The .-ery moment you put this into ope:ration you will have 187 school systems in Georgia. :Mr. ~i[addox made frequent reference to the rich counties of the State who have local taxation, and their tax rate for school purposes is low on account of the taxable wealth being great. Also that an additional tax on the poorer counties of the State will drive people from those counties into the rich counties and cities, and thereby depreciarte the value of property in the poorer counties.
Supt. Beck, of DeKalb.-You said that they would move out of the counties having local taxation to avoid that tax. Is this true in Fulton, Bibb, Chatham and Glynn counties, where they have a system of local taxation?
Supt. Bagwell, of Gwinnett.-I want ~o ask ~r. Beck if the last Legislature didn't pass a bill appropriating $200,000 increase, and if it did not lack just a few votes in til(} House of passing? I want to state further that I was in the Kimball House in Atlanta at the time this bill was up, and Senator Holder, of Jackson county, made this remark to

10,,)
me, "How is it no school people have anybody here to work for them? Everything except the common schools seems to be represented," The reason is they are doing like Mr, Beck, They don't ,Yant any more appropriation,
Supt. Beck, of DeKalb,-I must confess the Georgia Legislature is a body upon whom I have never had the pleasuse of looking. I was not about the capitol during the session, and not familiar with the things they did, Did not keep up very closely with their action. I don't know that the appropriation was increased $200,000. It is my opinion that public sentiment does not demand a greater appropriation from the State, as, when you divide out $200,000, you have increased the fund for the cause of education very little,
Supt. Henley, of Pickens, said he was not ready to agree that the public school system is a failure. We may not have reached our ideal, but lye are making progress, lYe ned more money, and, furthermore, you want to know how much your f1md is, and when you are going to get it. (Applause). Mr. Henley saw no objection to State taxation, if it raised money for the purpose, and if the constitution (laughter) did not stand in the way of local taxation, he saw no harm in local taxation, Above all things, saiel Mr. Henley, let us abide by this great and grand old constitution. (Laughter). If lye can't get money either way, we are not necessarily a failure. lYe simply need to cut down our capacity,
Supt. Duggan, of HmlCock.-I want to call attention to one fact that seems to haye been overlooked, and that is that taxation appears to be almtys lower in those counties where they h~ve local taxation, }fr, ~faddox called attention to the fact that taxation is lower in the rich counties than in his county, and that in these places they have local taxation, 11y theory is that local taxation gives bettel~ schools, that better schools educate the children better, and
....'-

106

I

that this brings more wealth to be taxed, and lowers the

rate.

Supt. Wooding, of Banh.-Still they want more money,

and it has been asserted on this floor this night that unless

we get more money the public school system 'of Georgia is

a failure. If that is so, the gentleman who made that as-

sertion ought to get up here and make a motion that this

Convention of County Superintendents pass a resolution re-

questing the Legislature of the State of Georgia to with-

draw appropriations from a failure. I would not support

that resolution. I would fight it because I know from ex-

perience that the educational system of Georgia is not a

failure.

I am opposed to local taxation, and I think the State in

its appropriation for public schools has reached the limit

of its obligation. I am willing to have local taxation on

one condition, and that is, if the State of Georgia will with-

draw one-half the fund and ask us to appropriate the other

half, I would be willing to it, provided there is an equal

-distribution of taxation 'over the whole 137 counties.

Gentlemen, it's a question of meat and bread in my

-county. It's a burden on my people to pay taxes, and you

might as well propose to levy a tax for establishing an elec-

tric light plant in Banks county as to propose taxation for

any purpose.

These rich counties have been criticized. :Mr. President,

I am glad and rejoiced from the bottom of my heart that

we have seventeen counties in the State who are able to pay

in more than they get out, who are able to say that their

pocketbooks are open, and who beckon us to come and par-

take thereof to educate our children, and take care of our

indigent old Confederate soldiers.

Supt. Brittain, of Fulton, stated that he did not intend to

speak, and would not have done so, but for the fact that

Fulton county had been mentioned so often. Fulton coun-

107
ty pays one-eighth of the taxes of the State, and aids largely the school fund for the benefit of those counties who need more money than they pay in as taxes, but there is no complaint on this score. It is done willingly.
Mr. Brittain further stated that it was not the purpose of this meeting to array factions against each other, or to arouse any feelings unpleasant or in this instance unprofitable. Our interests are identical; the county of Fulton outside of Atlanta is in the same condition as that of any other <lounty.
Mr. Brittain called the attention of the convention to the junction of the two rivers at Rome, Ga., one of clear and the other muddy water. But a short distance is this distinction visible, and they finally blend into one color, and are inseparable and ind.ustinguishable. So it is with the convention. Coming from all over the State we meet here not to antagonize or criticize each other, for our interests are identical-the education of our children.
Supt. 'Wall, of Elbert.-If I don't reach my highest ideal I don't think it's right to come down and say that I am a failure. I cannot agree with the gentleman who stated that the public school system of Georgia is a failure.
So far as placing the blame on the Legislature is con<lerned, that is unfair. They are doing their best to represent their people. If a man pretends to represent me, and I know that he does not intend to represent my views on questions of interest, he will not get my vote.
So far as local taxation is concerned, I think that's putting the responsibility and obligation at the right place. I think it's local self-government expressed in the highest sense. Let each county say what. it wants. They are better prepared than any other people.
The gentleman on the right struck the keynote a while ago, when he said that if the children in the country can't go to school for five months, and we have sufficient money

108
to pay for that time, how in the name of common sense are ~we going to get those same children to school longer, if we have more money from the State?
Supt. Reed, of Jasper.-I want to say, sir, that I am opposed to local taxation, and I think that a majority of the people of the State of Georgia are with me on this point. County lines don't bind us, and the best blood of our State is flowing into the cities all the time.
Supt. Beck, of DeKalb.-I am afraid some of the gentlemen on this floor misunderstood what I said about the system being a failure. ,Ve have made progress, of course, hut we should do better, and I am satisfied we will do hettel'.
Another thing, it happens that I represent a county that belongs to the minority. ,Ve pay more into the treasnr.y than we get out of the treasury, but we are making nO fuss about it, but, if the burden is to be increased, let each one hear his own part. Let each one look after himself hereafter.
At this time Supt. Morgan, of Wanen, moved that a committee be appointed to put these discussions into mell shape as that they will be an expression of the sentiment of this convention in regard to the question of local taxation.
This motion was not seconded, and was therefore not put to vote.
Supt. Griffith, of Haralson, said that he was sorry certain things had been said, and he hoped they would not he misunderstood. The people need to be encouraged to the helief that they are able to have a good school system, and not that their system is a failure.
Mr. Griffith then told the convention of a case in his county where two iadions opposed to each other as to the location of the schoolhouse succeeded in building two good schoolhouses. in order that each miQ'ht be ~mtjsfierl with tile

109
location, and this ,vas in a community where to have built one ordinary schoolhouse would be regarded as the limit of ability.
I hope that some of these remarks about the people not being able will not be taken serionsly. They are able. They simply need encouragement. Create the demand for the schoolhouse, and whether you have local taxation or not, you will get the schoolhouse.
Supt. Dugga:n, of Hancock.-I want to stress a3 much as possible that idea of Mr. Griffith's as to creating the demand on the part of the people. I did not second Mr. Morgan'3 motion because it is starting at the wrong end. We will accomplish more if we will begin not with the Legislature, nor with the grand juries, but at home, and create the demand there. That calls to mind a remark that was made at the meeting down on Cumberland Island some years ago, when it was said that a Commissioner who could not create a condition ought to resign.
I am for more money. I am for local taxation. I am for private contributions from any sources that we can get it, and I tell our people at home, as I go round among them, that we cannot wait on the Legislature or grand jnries, or anybody else, for while we are waiting on them our children are growing up in ignorance. vVe mnst supplement this fund now.
The next topic for discussion was the Centralization of Schools, discussion to be led by Han. J. N. Rogers, of ,Vashington county, but Mr. Rogers was excused to be IleaI'd from later, and on motion the convention adjourned to meet next day at 8 :30 in the chapel of the State Normal School in compliance with the invitation extended by Prof. 3. C. Branson.

110
MORNING SESSION.
May 8th, 1901.
The convention in a body visited the State Normal School on the morning of the 8th, and ,vere welcomed by Prof. Branson in a most cordial manner. In a pleasant addresshe introduced the student body to the Oommiss,ioners. Prof. Branson then requested Ohairman Glenn, State School Oommissioner, to address the student body, and to call upon any other Oommissioners he chose to speak a few words! of advice and encouragement to the prospective teachers, who compose the student body of the State Normal School.
Ohairman Glenn addressed the student body and eulogized the grand work in which they would be engaged as teachers. At the conclusion of his remarks Mr. Glenn called upon Supt. Evans, of Richmond, who addressed the students in a pleasing speech, eulogizing their work,and enjoining upon them the importance of preparation for their future labors as teachers.
J\fr. Glenn then called upon Supt. Henley, of Pickens, who delivered an amusing address, warning these future teachers that they would not get rich the first year, and relating some of his direful experiences in early life asa pedagogue in the mountains of North Georgia.
The convention was then formally called to order by Ohairman G. R. Glenn.
It was moved by Supt. Polhill that a recess of ten minutes be taken to have railway certificates signed by the secretary, and also that the Oommissioners might shake hands and look into the eyes of their teachers. Oarried, and Ohai'l'man Glenn announced that the recess would be taken.
The next topic for discussion, "Decorating Rural School Houses and Grounds," was led by Supt. Lawton B. Evans,_ of Augusta, Ga.

111
:Mr. Evans said: ":Much as we may compliment ourselves on our rural school progress, the fact remains that
our ordinary country houses are inartistic in architecture,
bare of decoration in the interior, uncared-for, unattractive and often immodest in the yard and grounds. The schoolhouse is generally set upon the highway on a half-acre lot, on ground that is hardly fit for anything else, the trees cut down on account of the light, and the stumps left s.tanding on, account of laziness, no definite place for a playground, no receptacle for waste paper, not a blooming thing to relieve the blankness and outhouses exposed to full view. The censure falls justly that our schoolhouses are not things of beauty, whose remembrance will bring a joy forever.
REASONS.
There are good reasons for considering the artistic side of school life. Ohildren do not like ugly and unatt,ractive things. They love brightness" cheerfulness, color, harmony. They are not happy when surrounded by things they do not love. 'Vhen they are not happy, they cannot and do not reach their best educational effort. As a stimulus to mental exertion, clean, orderly, attractive surroundings are not to be ignored. It is explained somewhat in the habit of some great French writer, who always put on his evening dress, even to silk hat and gloves, when he sat down to write his finest passages.
Beauty is an incentive to good order. This is one good reason why music and drawing are so helpful in school. 'Vhen our surroundings are respectable and ennobling, we are apt to respond to them, and be respectable ourselves. This was what was meant by the boy, who misbehaved on Sunday, and offered for his excuse that he had on his everyday clothes, and did not know he was expected to behave.

112
I copy this sentence from the report of the committee of twelve on rural schools: "If children are daily surrounded by those influences that elevate them, that make them clean and well-ordered, that make them love flowers and pictures, and proper decoration, they at last reach that degree of culture where nothing else will please them. "\Vhen they grow up and have homes of their own, they must have them clean, neat, bright with pidures, and fringed with shade-trees and flowers, for they have been brought up to be happy in no other em~ironment."
:MATEIUALS.
"\Ve use our native trees and shrubs, such as now grow wild in our wonderful Georgia woods, so rich in splendid flower in the spring, so grateful in full foliage in the summer, so gorgeous in color of leaf or berry in the autumn. Sometimes I ride along the road and see the woods prodigal of beautiful trees rich in flower, or shrubs of many sorts, sweet in perfume, and nodding their blooms in the soft air, and I think how kind Nature has been to spread those glories in the deep cool forest to rest the eye and uplift the mind. And then I wonder why our country teachers do not gather them for the school ground.
Among the trees there is the dogwood, like a snowstorm in early :spring, and so fine a contrast to crape-myrtle. Cedars of all sorts make a hedge, a screen, a shelter. The stately magnolia lends dignity and splendor and shade. The liveoak or the water-oak, or the maple so shady in the summer, so rich, red, and yellow in the fall. The elm, the hickory, the sugar-berry, the holly, all native trees, hardy and deco,rative.
Among flowering ,vild shrubs I think a plum thicket is one 0' the most useful for mass effect, as well as for a screen. The yellow jessamine growing wild over a fence, or

113
climbing up the corner of a piazza, or mounting to the crown of a low tree, is one of the most common and useful of our native wild vines. The woodbine is an early spring bloomer, so is the wild or Cherokee rose, and even the bamboo vine-all of which can be used for covering up old fences, stumps, or making graceful masses. The wild azalea, sweet-shrub, white ash or graybeard, are beautiful shrubs, and can be domesticated, if carefully transplanted and let alone.
Then again, almost every farm-house yard has in abundance such common plants as spirea, lilac, snowballs, flowering pear, honeysuckles and even cannas and roses. Generally speaking, bulbs and small' flo,wers are impossible in a school-yard because they require attention constantly, and the schools are clowd for half the year, and the yard must then care for itself. In fact, we should plant only su~h things in a school-yard as will go uncared for, unattended, except what N atme herself will provide in the way of rain and sunshine, heat and cold.
A number of hitching-posts should be planted conspicuously near the high road, so that the occasional visitor or the attendants upon the Sunday-school (which is, frequently held in tho schoolhouse), or the patro,ns upon any celebration of the school, may not use the carefully planted trees to tether their ho;"ses to, and allow them to diTIO UpOh the hark.
PROCEDURE.
'V"e should begin by having a plan. The plan should look 'to the ultimate aplwarance of the school, say five or six years. Every school-yard must have a distinet and separate plan of its own. It docs not require a landscape garclener, but it should be done by sOllle person of taste and discretion. Do not plant anytIling haphazard. Do not plant anything un til the entire design has been thought out.
Sed

114
Avoid the common nursery style of planting trees ill rows, or in dots about the yard. Plant them rather in the background in groups or masses or clumps. Leave spaces for playground, and plant small bushes around the house, or display them in front. The general purpose should be to make a picture, of which the house should be the center, the trees and shrubs the background or setting. I do not object to a handsome shade-tree near the house, but generally they should be massed for a background.
Having decided upon a plan, I should enlist the aid of the larger boys and girls in the enterprise by having a meeting of the school some time and a discussion of the subject. The diagram of the improvement should be placed on the board, and explained fully, then the work should be divided out among the pupils by committees. Each committee should have charge. of one or two or three trees, the smaller pupils should take shrubs and flowers. A visit by the teacher to the parents would enlist the interest of the fathers, and secure the loan of a team for hauling purposes. A large tree is not necessary or advisable. It is best to tram~ plant a small tree. Given ten years time, and a tree, that was transplnated three feet high, will be in a finer condition than one ten feet high. Do not make the mistake of reducing the transplanted tree to a stripped stick cut off at the top. Leave the branches and limbs,. They are part of the feeding and breathing machinery of the plant, and it needs them to help stand the shock of transplanting. Dig a deep hole, put in plenty of fertilize,r and topsoil; transplant the tree with as much of its own rootsoil as possible, certainly with the roots kept moist; pack the earth good and there is every reason for the successful growth of the tree.
In an article on "The Country Schoolhouse and Grounds" by James vViJson, Secreltary of Agriculture, he says: ":JIany of us have distinct recollections of disagreeable

115
schoolhouses and grounds. vVe ought to arrange matters so that different impressions will be made on the little people, who now Yenture from home, and go to school. We should associate as many attractive things around the schoolhouse as can be brought together, just as we make the parlor the most beautiful room at home, in order that our friends may be pleased while they visit us."
And there are yaluable lessons of more practical nature, aside from a pleasing alld helpful ::Bsthetic effect. There are instructive lessons about plants, flowers, roots-, seeds, bark, annuals, biennials, perennials. Lessons from the living object are always much more effective and satisfactory than those from the dull text. Nature's work is one of pictures only. I do not know if our rural schools call ever introduce allY practical lessons in agriculture, especially with the corps of teachers we now have on hand, which corps can never be improyed, so long as we pay them $25.00 a month for five months, and then get our conscience aroused on constitutional provisions (laughter), which prevents them from getting what they have earned, and paying for their own provisions (prolonged applause).
But this I do know, that by a judic~ous care of the schoolgrounds by planting carefully arranged shrubbery, trees, flowers, grass, \ve can stimulate a love for growing thillgsa desire to see them grow right-a knowledge of what right growing is. This love of nature, and the desire to see her prodigal and luxuriant in her growth, is after all at the bottom of scimltific farming, for if the farmer's son is not ,deeply in love with his prospective occupation, alld is not deeply imbued with the desire to see his share of Nature's product the most abundant that can be made, he is not likely to study any flaws, whereby Dame Nature can be TIlade to exert herself in his behalf.
The school-grounds of Germany have become proverbial. They are not farms, but small patches of earth; in which the

116
simplest samples of vegetable and flower grow. One specimen of each thing is enough to study. The soil, the moisture, the he:at are illustrated. InsectB are studied. The growth from beginning to end is explained. Very many have simplest forms of greenhouses for propagating small seed. The government supplies the seed. The farmers get the benefit of the growing plants, incidentally the children get a great deal of instruction in botany and chemistry.
In fact, I should promptly say that a reform is needed in OUT conception O'f a course of study for our country schools. We need to study less Latin and algebra-less geography and history-less grammar and rhetoric, and we sadly need to study more business and agriculture, arithmetic and bookkeeping, more hygiene and chemistry, more physics and forestry, more botany. 'Ve need to get closer down to the life of the farmer.
Sometime ago a family of five on a good farm went ill with typhoid fever, and two of them died. The doctor said the well was contaminated from thc h01'se"lot. The water should have been boiled before drinking, or the well abandoned. The poor father, having lost hi" wife and daughter, said "I did not know there was any dangcr. The well has been there for generations. I wish someone had told me a year ago." A little science would have helped him along. He should have gotten it in school.
You will pardon me, if I take a few minutes more time to discuss a kindred Eubject to the topic of this paper, amI that relatcs to the interior of thc school-room and the pcrsonal appcarance of the teacher. All things considercd, commond mo to the good-looking toachcr, a young lady, who has a pleasant Ismile, a clean apron and collar, and whose presence exhales that freshne,'B and deanliness, that denotes sound sense and good habits. I insist that no man, \\"ho wcars a dirty shirt to school, chews tobacco and spits on the stove, deser\"cs to he entrusted with the carc of 0111'

. . l
117
youth. (Applause). IVe need to be clean in our habits and appearance as well as in OUr teaching and in our lives.
It is the same way in the schoolroom. Anyone of us here can enter a schoolroom, and in five minutes, yes, even at a glance, tell whether the teacher is doing well or not. There is something in the clean floor, the well-swept corners, the well-kept stove, the window panes, possibly the flowers on thettand, the good arrangement of the desk, tho pictures on the walls, and this something, which is the attention to the details of school life, is what goes to make up a successful teacher. Such a teacher will have the best enrollment, the best attendance, and her record will show the best teaching results. The secret is that she or he has made the school room and grounds so pleasant and so interesting that the pupils take delight in coming. And after all the children decide whether they go to school or no't. Parents give up the struggle after a while, but the children persist. Let us not adhere to the old rlllp t.h::lt, requires the useful first, and then the ornamental, but rather take them together, for fear we shall never reach the latter. For we may be sure that when our schoolhouses become jewels set in the landscape of woodland, meadows, and farms, their beauty will linger in the memory 0. the student and become at last a joy forever.
Supt. Duggan of Hancock.-These things go more towards education than anything else, and it is a most important subject for us to take up. For my part, we are taking it up in our county. 'Ve are paying especial attention to our scho'O,l grounds. vVe are discussing it at monthly meetings, and I announced to our teachers on last Saturday, which was OUI' last meeting for last month, tha,t we pu:r~ pOised to ,discuss it persistently, and to put it into practice, and to beautify our grounds and to bring to bear as far as possible: this influence upon the lives of these children. I

U8
hope we will not hurry this matter over, but will give it a full and free discussion.
Supt. Polhill of Worth.-I would like to have a copy 'Of this paper in the hands of every teacher in Georgia, and I move', sir, that a sufficient number of copies of this paper be published to place one copy in the hands of every teacherin Georgia.
Supt. Duggan of Hancock.-I second that motion. Chairman Glenn.-Mr. Polhill, your motion will not be necessary, as I will take care of that myself, and wiU have a sufficient number of copies printed separately, when my report is published. Chairman Glenn.-Prof. Orr, who is the teacher of this special branch in the Normal School heve, that is the branch that is under his special department, desires to address us upon some of the things that Supt. Evans discussed. The privileges of the floor will be extended to Prof. Orr, if there is no objection. Come to the fwnt please, professor. Prof. Orr said.-I ask for this privilege because the subject which has been so interestingly handled by Mr. Evans, is one in which I am very deeply interested, being instructor in this particular Ene here in the N orrnal School, and I thought it would be of interest to the County Superiptendents to know what is being attempted in this direction here with the prospective teachers in the State of Ge~:lr gia. I presume that most of those who are actively engaged in teaching work are confronted frequently with the obstacle of expense. Mr. Evans has touched very briefly on interior decoration, and this is perhaps the side of the question which involves &<'\:pense. I wish to say, however, that it is not an impossibility to have placed before the children of the State of Georgia some pieces of the rarest and best art. We have several on our walls here just now, which I give you a cordial invitation to inspect. We get these from

1l~
aNew York firm, they are given us here for perhaps a month, and then to be returned, that is, such as we do not sell. N ow, I am in hopes that we may dispose of the whole lot. At least we will buy some of them {o'r our own use. vVe are only making a beginning 0' this. ,Ve contemplate, when we get into our three-year course, to give more time to this special department of art education. vVe give personal talks to our teachers along the lines of beautifying the school's interior and exterior.
If schools cannot buy pictures as expeillsive as these, 30 to 60 cents a piece, there are some that can be bought at one cent apiece. Schools of the State might have such inexpensive matter as this to beautify the walls.
I join very heartily in all that Mr. Evans has said, and I think it is a matter of vital interest, and trust that the County Superintendents will appreciate it as such, and put it into practice.
Supt. Welch of Dougherty.-I have been interested for a year or two in decorating school rooms, and I am giad that the teachers are acting upon our suggestion, and putting such pictures on the walls as they can get without much expense. Plants in the rooms, cut flowers on the desk, and nice curtains to the windows, all maIm the school room look cheerful and happy. I have been very successful in this by encouraging them, and giving them all the aid from the public fund that I can. Have gotten up a kind of rivalry among the children themselves, and they bring their dimes and pennies, and buy pictures to go on the walls, and it creates within them a love fo,r the school room. Mr. Evans' paper is more particularly about exterior decoration, but I think we can do as wen on interior decoration. The children like to see the school room bright and cheerful: and happy, and they work so much more diligently when surrounded by these things. We should all pay attention to this. I bid you all go home and try it. You don't know

120
how easy it is to work up a spirit that will show it:2.eIf and be felt. .Tust make an effort and see how easy it is to be successful in this line right along from the start.
A motion was made that. a recess be given for the purpose of having railway tickets sig'ned, and aliSO to give the superintendents an opportnnity to pay in their annual fees of $1.00 each. Carried.
After the businESS of this collection was disposed the next number 0. the program for the morning was discussion of "Best Plan of Grading Country Schools," discussion to be led by Hon. .T. 11. Clement of Fannin. :Mr. Clement, however, not being in the city, it was decided to take np the discussion of "Centralization of Schools," discnssiilll to be led by Han. .T. X. Rogers, of \Vashington, who was excused from participation in last evening's program.
Supt. Rogers.-Gentlemen, I think that just at this hour my preference ,vould he to see these grounds here, and learn a little more of this school. It will be time enough for my paper this afternoon. Let lb take in these buildings and gronnds here for a half hour, and then go back to the city.
:Mr. Rogers made a motion to that effect, which was carried.
Supt. Houseal moved that we accept the invitation of the trolley-car company to ride the members of the convention about the city at six o'clock, leaving the Commercial Hotel at that time.
Supt. Polhill of \Vorth.-:Mr. Chairman, can't we take these teachers with us? (Laughter).
The motion of Mr. Houseal carried, and the invitation was accepted with the thanks of the convention.
Supt. .Tones of Early.-I move that the Chair appoint a committee to draw up resolutions to put the sentimca1t of this convention into business shape, and bring their report hefore this convention for adoption.

121
This motion was carried, and the chairman appointed the following gentlemen as a com!l11ittee for this purpose:
Supt. IVooding of Banks, Supt. Dozier of Clarke, Supt. -,\rnett of' Screven, Snpt. .Tones of Early, Snpt. ,VeIch of ] )ougherty.
On motion, the convention adjourned to meet at 2 :30 p. m., at the Athenamm Hall.
After inspecting the buildings and grounds of the State Normal Schoo'l the, convention returned to the city.
AFTERKOOK SESSIOK.
:May 8, 1901, 2 :30 p. m.
The convention was called to order at 2 :30 p. m. in Athemmum Hall.
Chairman Glenn.-I want to call your attention to a map over there on the wall which Bro. Henley has made of this (~ounty. Each of you might make such a map 0' your county, and you will find it very helpful to you.
~What did the map cost you Bro. Henley? Supt. Henley.-Oh, I don't know, it cost me a good deal of work. A voice.-Oh, he made it himself. Chairman Glenn.-Yes, sir, he made it himself. Cha,irman Glenn.-The first topic for discussiOill' this afternoon is "School I,ibraries; How to Secure and use Them." Supt. Fitzpatrick.-Before we proceed to business I want to make a mo,tion to cut the time down to five minutes for speeches, and no member to speak more than once on the same Isubject. (Carried). The discussion on the subject of School Libraries was led by Hon. ,V. R. Power of Cobb county.. :Mr. Power made a very practical speech upon this subject, bringing out the following strong points in favor of school libraries. If the

122
library is an institution worthy of our consideration and support, there can be no good reason given against it. The library is nat merely a 'sentiment, not a blind indefinite suggestion, but it is a fixture, a reality, as necessary as any other branch of our common school education. Public libraries have existed as Jar back as history makes account to us, and their establishment and maintenance evidence their importance and value. Reference was made to the establishment of the old National libraries of Egypt, Greece, and Rome, as also to the establishment and maintenance of the public libraries of the several commonwealths of thi" great republic.
The great institutions of learning would not be fully equipped for the great work without libraries. The relation of schools to colleges demands that they should also be in the schools. No taste or love for literature can be developed or inspired excerpt by contact with the books themselves and the perusal of them. The purpose of our schools is not only to teach text-books, but to make intelligent men and women of our young people. Nothing tends to more perfectly carry out this object than school libraries,.
For what purpose do we teach a child to read? In order that he may read, and from reading he may get such ideals before his mind as will tend to elevate his whole being, and puriy and ennoble his motivp,,- lmd actions. From reading thought is inspired, and there is no limit to the power of thought.
School libraries were first established in New York in 1835-53, and in Massachusetts, 1837-49, subsequently superseded by free libraries.
Mr. Power said the way to secure libraries was, as suggested by Mr. Houseal in regard to schoolhouses, to just secure them. By some means or other books could be gathered together, if a start was made and the effort was continued.

123
1fr. Power then made reference to a number of beautiful allegories in mythology, which illustrated the use, beauty, and elegance of the library, when put to proper me in our schools.
Supt. Olayton of Bartow.-About this library busine~8. Let me tell you what a gTand work is being done in am: county. I did not get it through the patrons entirely. I got it through an appeal to the women and the children. I learned this fact, that the way to reach the parent is to touch the parent with the child, touch the child first, then the child will touch the mother, and the mother and child together can just as sure as the. sun shines touch the father. "Now, we have a woman's club in our county, The Oherokee Olub, composed of noble women. That club has helped me wonderfully. We have one little woman to help us, by the way, the wife of the member of the House of Representatives from my county. I tell you the people of that county will remember her, and call down blessings on her name as long as they live., and after them their children will bless her name too.
We have in our county traveling libraries. This, club, with a little assistance from my board, has gotten up six lists of books. She takes charge of them and sends them out to myseH and to the teachers. The teache~s take charge of them and are responsible for the books.
When a book is worn out it is replaced by another. When a school has used a library as long as they wish, they can for another library and the one they have been using is sent to some other school, and s'o on.
Now to show you the good these libraries do. In one of the schools in my county there was a boy who was so bad and so mean that it was decided that he was not fit to go into the school. The teacher told me about him, and I told heT to worry along with him, and make him read, which would at least keep him quiet and out of mischief. She gave

124
him a book to read, simple but sensible and attractive, and one day he came to her and said: Miss Cornelia, I have Ii different view of life. I have found out somehow what I am in this world for, and out of that very little book, and I am going to be a grand little man.
If you cannot get a library for each school, get one of the,e little circulating libraries.
Supt. Duggan of Hancock.-I promised not to waste any more time of this meeting, but Mr. Clayton's story in reo gard to that boy makes me feel inclined to t.e11 a little experience of my own. In one of the schools in my c10unty there was a boy, that the teacher just could not do anything ,,,ith at all. She told me of her difficulty in managing him, whereupon I asked her what he liked, what were his tastes, etc. She replied that he liked horses, hunting, SpOrtS, ete. I told her then to pick out some book along this line from the library, and give it to him to read. She did this, and when he finished reading it he wanted another, and another, and so on, and that boy became one of the most orderly and Istudious boys in her school.
Supt. :Merritt of Lowndes.-Said that he desired to thank the gentleman who had just taken hi8 seat, for the sug-gestion he made at Barnesville last year as to having the children to take: out cards, and get up contributions around the community. This had worked well.
:Mr. Merritt enjoined upon the commi33ioners the importance of selecting books within the reach of the scholars, and not too high for them to understand. That was the great trouble with the books given to the school by Hon. Hoke Smith.
Supt. Merritt offered some valuable suggestions to the convention as to the quality of books to be bought, and related some of his experience in ordering small paper-bound volumes, cheap, but of the best quality of reading.

]21)
Supt. Florence of Morgan, ~aid that out 'of the 26 white schools in his county 24 had libraries. 1\;[1'. Smith had included his county as one of those, to whom he gave circulating libraries. 1\1:1'. Florence's plan is to< not allow a library to stay inane school too long, but get up a thirst for good literature, and then move the library, and put in another one on a different line of reading. By this means he keeps up an a.ctive interest all the time in reading among the pupils in his schools.
1\1:1'. Florence said la~t year he reported 13 libraries worth $200 to $250.00. This year he is able to l'eport that his libraries are worth about $875.00.
Chairman Glenn.-Right in this connection I don't think that this convention ought to adjourn without a resolution of thanks to Hall. Hoke Smith fm what he has llndertaken in this matter of starting the library movement in every county in the State. I have had several talks with }ell'. Smith personally about this que~tion, and I find that it is his preElent purpose to continue this work from year to year until he has given every county in the State at least one of these small libraries.
I hope therefore that you will instruct your Committee on Resolutions to rnelude in the number of resolutions to be adopted a resolution thanking 1\1:r. Smith for this patriotic and philaiMhropic movement that he has started.
Supt. Rogers of Washington.-I think I can say that I have behaved very nicely at this convention. This is the first time that I have offeTed a suggestion. I wish to add HI." testimony to what Mr. Flmence has said in regaTd to the good work done in the movement by Hon. Hoke Smith. He ~ent us one of these libraries, and the children hayc added largely to our stock of books. The number of boob in 0111' libraries has about trebled in the last school term. The books are being read t'oo. They are not left Oil tl](> sheIYes from week to week. There is an interest being

126
stirred up in good literature such as has never been known in my section of country before.
Supt. Florence of Morgan.-I want, to, move that the Committee on Resolutions be instmcted to include a resolution of thanks to Hon. Hoke Smith fm his gift. (Oarried).
Supt. Duggan of Hancock.-Mr. Ohairman, I desire to offer the following resolution:
"Resolved, That we as Oounty School Oommissioners, representing the cause of common school education in Georgia, desire, on behalf of the teacher and the children and ourselns, to express due appreciation of the live and effective interest recently manifested in this, the most important of the State's interests, by the Atlanta Journal, and other friendly disposed papers; and that we appreciate this all the more because We recognize the value of the influence of such able agencies."
Supt. vVooding of Banks.-I second that motion from the bottom of my heart.
This resolution was adopted. Chairman Glenn.-The next topic for discussion this afternoon is "Qualifications of Members of Boards of Education." Discussion will be lead by Hon. M. L. Brittain of Fulton. :Mr. Brittain said:-Permit me to say before entering upon the subject assigned me, that I can speak with the more freedom because of the good fortune that my 'Olwn county has experienced in the personnel od: her Boards of Education. They have uniformly been men of business experience, and much above the average in point of education. \Vithin the last few ye,ars Fulton county has had upon her board an ex-governor of tIle State, the president of the State School of T,echnology, and the president 'o,f the Board of TrUf,tees of Emory OoHege. The mere fact that this question has been. chosen for disclli';:;ion is one of the encouraging signs of the times. For

127
years strenuous efforts havc becn made to encourage the efficiency of the teacher's work, but until recently no seri(m~ movement has been undertaken to raise the standard of school boards. Indeed the matter does not seem to have presented itself t,o, the popular mind as especially worthy of consideration. The public conscicnce is being thoroughly awakened to the necessity for well-trained teachers, and in many favored sections for well-equipped schoolhouses. But it never seems to have occurred to peoplle generally that any special qualification or training was necessary ror memhcrship ,on its board or education. Naturally this has had it~ effect upon thes,e boards, and in many instances members have sunk into unconscious egotism, believing that the building of ,schoolhouses and the employment of teachers require 11'01 special consideration other than pleasing their friends, pernsioning their relatives, or pacirying their political opponents. The school board ought to be more than a mere bureau ror the construction 10lr schoolhouses and the di~pensing of salaries. Its deliberations affect the health, happlI1,ess and succe5S of the coming generation too marked ly. This being true, it is only reasonable that we should make some inquiry as to the qualifications we have a right to expect of the men who occupy these responsible posi tions.
}lEN O:F GOOD CHARAOTER.
In the fir,st place, I think it is 11Iot unreasonable to demand that members of the Board of Education should be men or good character. It might not matter SOl much, perhaps, on other bomds or committlees, but it is important here that membership should be held only by those men, in whom the public has confidence. Weakness at this point is likely to bring contempt upon the whole system. The public will very naturally hwk with some distrust upon the

128

character and ability of teachers elected by a board that is

not above suspicion, and indeed the temptatioIllS! to, un-

worthy members that frequently arise in buvino- books

<.I

b'

school furniture, and especially in the bestJowal of teachers'

places, are very great, and no weak two-by-four individual

should be exposed to such temptatiou!s. The charac1ter and

ability of men composing 'Oiur school board should be such

that it would be worth the ambition of the best men of the

community to accept membership thereon. It. should he

the highest C'ompliment that could be paid! to them, and

they ought to be leaders in all matters that pertain to the

educational interests otE their vicinity, and should always

so act and conduct themselves as to merit the confidence

of the people.

OF GOOD BUSINESS ABILITY.

They lought to be men of business experience llnd ability -men who come in corntact with the people. And, though it may not be a popular sentiment" it seems to me that other things being equal, they ought to be succesisful men and men of affairs. Nlort so much is this true because of the 00nfidence that men of this kind are likely to inspire, as that it renders a man better qualifi'ed in dealing with question:s that come up in the administration nf the schook Of course these members should be brO'ad-guaged men, who have time and inclination as well to study other matters beyond the details of their own business. FOol' it goes without saying that narroow-minded men wh!::>se lino of vision lleVer lies outside the limits of their own peculiar vocation in lif'e, should never be hono'red by membership 011 sc1WJll boards.

MEN OF EDUCATIOK.

It is not too much to demand that they should be educated and cultured men. In fact, a degree from a college or uni,-ersity, in my judgment, ought not to disqualify a

129
man for such a position; and yet in too many instances it would seem to have been the case. If there is one, place, where the educated man naturally belongs, of right, it is here. And yet I recall a meeting of a certain school board where one of the members affirmed as a matter of pride that he was n10lt an educated man in any way, sense or form. It was one of this type; who wa,s recently telling of a dramatic performance as follows: "A fellow by the name of Shakespeare fooled our flolks plfrty well last week. Gave a show called Julius Cmsar dow'll at the opera house, and blamed if the whole thing wasn't made up out 0' pieces, that has been spoken at the school exhibitilolns here for twenty years." In many parts of this State we have men serving on boards of education who might almost be called illiterate~they are men of influence in their various sectilolns, and in many instances men of character. But I submit that this one fact, of practical illiteracy, ought to act in ,elVe,ry instance as a bar to membership on any board of education. Nor do I believe that this view is extreme. There are many men of this type whlol are the very salt of the earth. In most particulars they may be superior to the majority of educated men around them, and yet common sense and reason demand that to this one position they ought not to aspire. And it is one moreover, to which even popularity and political influence, h!mvever stl'ongl should not raise them. They are not capable: of forming an intelligent opinion upon textrbooks or teaching, and should never attempt it. Now this age is too enlightened to endure with ,equanimity any contempt for educatron. It remembers that "the foundations orf law and jurisprudelIlcEl go hack to a scholar called ~Moses; the golden age of Athens was 1l8hered in by a scholar named Pericles; Florence, Venice, and Rome, the great cities of the: world, ha,ve their foun:clation in wisdom and krnowledge." And, indeed, from the time back in the early dawn of history, when
9e d

130
Themistoeles led the trained Athenians at Salamis, down to that terrible day at Sedan, when the Ispectacled students of Germalny shook the foundations of France, knowledge has always been power, and never before has the truth of the saying been SOl l'ecognized as at, the present day. Now do not misunderstand me; this is not in any way insisting upon a collage diploma as a prerequisite.to membership, but it is asking for at least moderate education and culture. Indeed, I believ'e you will agree with me, that other things being equal, men possees~ng the best educational advantages, bl"oad-guaged men of course, and not mere theorists, ought to hold these positions. They ought to be men familiar with books. I do not mean text-books merely, but the books that constitute literature. Certainly the literature of our own land and of our mother country-that literature that has circled the globe with 'a music far grander than' England's martial drum-beat. They ought to have had acces,s at least,
"To that sacred place Where the greatest dead abide, Where grand old Homer sits In solitude sublime, Where, wrapped in endless thought, Broods the awful Florentine. Where sweet Cervantes walks, A smile upon his face, 'Where gossips quaint l\Iontaigne, The wisest of his race. Where Goethe looks through all 'With that calm smile of his, And where-little seen save lightThe only Shakespere is."
The problem of rural education is attracting more at tent~on than an,y other phase of the work at the present day. President Harper of Chicago University, g101 referred to it at the Charleston Convention last summer. It was a constant theme for discussion between the N orther'Il

131
philanthropists and Commissioner Glenn, during the late visit of the Ogden-Parkhurst party to the Tuskegee Institute. It is recognized oilli every hand that the work which needs more attention and more sympathy than any other nlong educational lines, is the work of the rural schools. How can we improve them, weighted down as they are in so maiIly inst,anoosi with unprogressiveness and ignorant hoards of educa:tion?
The age looks with contempt upon inferior slip-shod work in any line. This is an artistic era; the age of the beautiful. NerveI' before has mankind been so insistent upon the worker's, not merely finishing his task, but upon his finishing it in a workman-like manner. In fO['Iller years the wealthy class alone was interested in art, hut gone forever is that time when the common people were satisfied with the clumsy tool or uiIlgainly garment. As the rude Attic iSipeech of the early Greek flowed forth into the musical cadences oJ Homer's Iliad, so man, as the, years go by, seeks more and more to make his "song and prayer not merely true; hut heautiful with praise to the unseen God."
ENTHUSIASM.
Lastly, I should say that an important qualification for memhership on hoards of educatioln, is love" even enthusiasm, for the work. And this is hy no mean ,ad' mino'r importance, for love is the master passion of mankind and the hearts of all the world relspond to this 'one key. Indeed I sometimes think it has more to do with swaying the hearts of humanity than intellect. It seemed so on occasi:ons, even to the Greek, the most intellectual of an the, early races. To them Homer was the personification of wisdom, and he is the: central figure in a heautiful story in illustratioilli of the power of the heart over the mind. As the blind poet wandered lost in darkness and despair, theire

132
came to him the beautiful daughter of light and love ty lead him up to the heavenly heights. And so in many instances men, who have the work upon thetir hearts, will bo able to accomplish m()lre than others, far better trained and educated. Indeed it "eems to be God's plan to do his best work frequently with the humblest material. -What is mol'! common, for instance, than salnd, clay and coal ? Yet the first can be made into porcelain, fit in its fragile beauty flo~ the table of a king; the second, in one of its forms, becomes the: opal, flashing in all its splelndor, as! it gives its tints to the firelight; while the third, crystallizing, becomes the diamond, the king of all jewels, and worthy to grace the diadem of an emperor.
With more certainty still can this enthusiastic liove forthe work be counted upon to produce good results, if it comes from a Ohristian heart--oIne that has felt the lifegiving touch lof the light divine, that never wason land or sea.
Two travelers, while on their way through an Alpine gorge, were suddenly attracted by the sound of sweet music. It reverberated back and forth from tho"e cliffs that, Istretching their snow-coveTed tops far up ~nto the blue skies, formed a whispering gallery far mightier than that of any earthly cathedral, and filled their souls with a harmony so sweet that it seemed t,o come from Heaven's own host. As, c'omtinuing their course, they suddenly pa"sed into another gorge, they came upon a youth with an uncouth, wooden instrument, from which there came forth the most disciorrdant notes. And yet it was from this rude, Alpine horn the sounds had come that, echoing and reechoing across the Swiss valleys, had produced the sweet music. So, rough and imperfect as all our work will be, 'Ewen at its best, if it c!omes. from a heart looking to God for guidance, it will be transfigured into Heaven's own. radiance, however humble the instrument.

133
Supt. "Vooding,of Banks.-I want to thank my brother Brittain for his speech. I want to thank him for the suggestilolll that a man is nart necessarily to be: a conege~bred graduate to be an educated man.
The only qualification required by the law is that a member of a Board of Education must be a free-holder. If he is a Vee-holder, regardless of the value of that free-h10Id, he is entitled tlO, membership on the Board of Education. On account of the responsibilities of the duties placed upon them, it seems to me that the law Mould require some greater qualifications.
The law has placed a great many duties on Boards of Educatiiom, but I would just like to ask this question: Is there really any use for a Board 0' Education? Their duties are preilcribed by law, but can't one educated man in a county do all that is required of them? I don't want to say a:nything detrimental to anybody, but I really think they are a useless appendange. If th8lY are tlOi exist, however, they should be qualified to meet the emergencies, however great those eme1rgencies may be.
Supt. Wall, of Elbert.-I, like Col. "Vooding, endorse most heartily :Mr. Brittain'I'" speech. I appl'eciate his so ably presenting the requiremoots for membership (Jill Boards of Education. I cannot agree with our distinguished friend, Col. vViolOding, hmvever-I love him very much, but we cannot agree on one point--we calnnot do without our County Baards of Educatilon. I don't care how good a County CommisiSioner a man might be, he needs some moral support, and it's better to have some~ body, who can give him this moral support. There is nlO time in any man's life when he can do without it. General vVashington was once revived, when he was almost in despair, by LaFayette simply putting his arm around him.
County School Commissioners furthermore need at times to be checked. "Ve paid our Board of Education $84.00,

134
and we thought it was money wen spent. Please don't let us say anything derogatory to our Boards of Education. I was just afraid that some wrong impression might go out. I am for our Oounty Boards of Education.
Supt. Wooding, of Banks.-What I said was tllk)t intended to reflect in any way upon anybody, and was simply asking the question, as it had at times occurred tOI me that county boards were unnecessary.
The convern:tio'Dl upon motion then adjourned for the purpose IOtf visiting the State Univerrsity, and for the next hour ()[' more the members of the convention were shown over the campus and through the several college buildings by the committee from the faculty of the University. This was most interesting and entertaining to all the superintendents.
At six o'clock in a body the convention became the
o guests of Athens Electric Street Railway ompany, and
were comfortably seated in opm cars for a ride around the city. The street cars 1eft the Oommercial Hotel according to the schedule planned, and for more than an hour the superintenderrtsenjoyed the hospitality of the railway company, and had the opportunity of see[ng the beautiful city, which had been selectOO by them for their convention.
It was expected beforehand that thetel would be an evening s8lS8ioo, the program for which was to have been supplied by the Women's Federation 0 Olubs. The ladies could not be present, however, and the Oommissioners were therefore deprived of this very pleasant part of the program. The corresponding sooretary of the Georgia Federation of Women's Olubs, however, sent in a communication to the Oommissioners, which, by motion, carried unanimoulsy, was ordered spread upon the minutes. The followitng is the cOllilliunicatilQn: "The Georgia Federation of Women's Olubsasks the aid of the teachers:

2. In arousing the interest of their pupils in the premi. ums offered for children by the Interstate Fair to be held :imi Atlanta next October. The premium list will be, ready in a short time, 'and, as the Federation is to have charge of the Woman's Building, it :Us anxi1o:us to have the hearty co~operation of the women and children of all parts {)f the Statle in exhibiting any possible thing.
3. ]jil reponing to Mrs. J. Lindsay J1o!hnson, Rio Vista: Rome, Ga., any industries which they may see carried on in the homes of their pupils, ~uch as weaving of any kind, caning of wood, basket-making, or pottery-making,
4. In diffusing a knowledge of domestic science. ill order to do this it will be necessary for the teachers to read upon the subject during vacation. By practical talks at times, when the whole school needs to change its ,current of thought for a few minutes, by the neatness and decoration of the schoolhouse, seed will be sown to develop in the home. The, Federation has a teacher trained for teaching Domestic Science at the N orillal School as soon as the appropriation permits. Miss Turnbull is a graduate of Oread Institute in vVorc'~ster, Mass., and is now teaching plain sewing at the State Normal School, while awaiting her larger work.
The Federation feels emboldened to ask this because it has always found the Commissioner, the County Oommissioners, and the teachers such useful allies.

MORNING SESSION-8:30 A. M.
May 9th, 1901.
The convention was called to order at 8 :30 a. m. by the chairman in Athenamm Hall.

136
The next topic for discussion was, "Has the Time Come for a Compulsory Attendance Law in Georgia?" Discussion was led by Han. J. N. Wall, of Elbert. 1fr. Wall said: The question given, in the discussron of which I am to l'ead, is like all others, in that it has two sides. It may seem a little peculiar for me to say that I shall take the negative, and from such a position I shall begin my argument.
H there ever was a time when men could answer any question simply by saying no or yes, it is not, today. 11:en and women are demanding reasons of us fo'r the positions we take, and not to give them based upon sound logic and true philosophy simply means that you go unheeded, and your positions pass unnoticed.
In the first place I will say I object to the passing of an act making at:tendance compulsory because sruch a law is
am synonymous' with a oompulsory education, I sincerely
trust the day will never come when the people of our great Empire State will allow themselves to be, humiliated by the e'xistence of a law, which will place a stigma not only om our fair name, but will prove a foul blat on our fair history. Such a step, ,sir, I regard as paternalism of the deepest dye. I can't oonceive how any man in this country of ours can become so lost to every sense of paternal obligation as for one minute to be willing to surrender his claim upon hi8 children, and place them in the custody and keeping of any form of government. These ties, gentlemen, are too sacred t,o be transferred to any legally constituted commission, and these trusts Almighty God never intended to be surrendered in a way as to cause our children to be trained by proxy, nor did he ever intend that these duties should be impo'Sed upon any individuals except the parents, or those who become natural guardians.
:Mr. Chairm~n, such a step is out of harmony with the true spirit and genius of our constitution. It was intend-

137
ed from the beginning that We should enjoy such freedom a:i> to leave the training and education of our childrenJ entirely within the domain of parental responsibility, and out of this form of sacred OIbligat,ion we hav'El been able to tender to the wo,rld the finest specimens of ma,nhood and womanhood the worrId has ever seen.
However, I am frank to admit, as it has been said on this floor since the meeting began, that pareints are becoming lost to their sense 'Off moral obligation, yet I am not willing to beEeve that the case has gone beyond the point of successful remedy, if the proper me:thods are adopted. I take the position that for the Legislature to pas:" such a law means that the individuality of every child in Georgia is t,o be sacrificed upon the altar of this infamous monster properly denominated "paternalism." The time allotted to me is too short to dwell longer on this point. There>ore, I proce,ed in the next place to offer an objection to such an abominable course of actio'll; it will rob the parent of the opportunity of giving a proper phase of industrial training to the children, which God has given us. I am opposed to the State taking the question of "industrial training" in hand, but leave it where it naturally and prop' erly helongs~that is in the hands of the parents. Again, it will have a tendency to' de"troy that tender relationship 2nd profound reverence children should have for their parents. No home can afford to be desttitute of the filial love that children should bear to parents, nor the rever ence and honorr children are required to exercise to these lawful guardians. The great, Henry Grrady was right when he said the safeguard of our government is found in the purity of our home and the enforcement olf parental authority. Therefore let us do, nothing to lessen this power, 11'0'1' to disinrtegrate the tender bonds of love and sympathy which should exist.

138
Tn: the next place, to transfer such sacred trusts from parent to g1oIVernment, would prove a dangerous course as a precedent. The logic is unsound, the philosophy false. While the hurt would be immens'e to the children, the parents themselves would sufferr immeasurably, for the reason that after giving up this, the most sacred of all trusts, an indifference would seize upon them in l1egard to every othe,r duty, which both nature and citizenship enjoin, and
just such a state of discontent, and spirit of shifting ocr re~
sponsibilities would ensue as the world has never seen. Plutarch tells us that Cresar was going through a cer-
.tain city, and he saw many persolllil carrying puppy dogs through the streets in their arms, and they were fondling and making much of them, and he asked if they werre the
products ocr the women, and on being toM they were not he
said he thought they must be, as they were bestowing upon them the affee:tion and devotilolll which rightfully belonged to their progeny.
Mr. Chairman, the true theory and philosophy of such qUestiOillS are that, if we take from the hearts of the people this trust, and from their shoulders this burden, we will have a heartl'ess citizenship and an irrespornsible people.
Such burdell'S must remain where they 'are to preserve in the hearts od: me:rtJ and women that feeling of love of offspring and appreciation of obligation, which a hardy and brave people must endure, or else we will see literally fulfilled Goldsmith's declaratilOill:
"Ill fares the land, to hastening ills a prey, Whe:re wealth aecumulates, and men decay. Princes and lords may flourish orr may fade, A breath can~make them, as a breath has made. But a bold peasantry, a country's pride, When once destroyed, can never be supplied."
Again, Mr. Chairman, if sU0h an act means to stop a child from g'oling to school who call1't go regularly, you 00-

139
come a tyrant as despotic as Nero. Many boys and girls are compelled to aid in keeping the wol from the door. There are circumstancl8s over which they have no contrtoil
1
and in this way you rob innocent childhood of every privilege, because they are too poor to live withlolUt WOlrk.
Pericles, the Grecian statesman and philosopher, said, "That is the best form of gorvernment which considers an injury done the meanesrt: subject an insult to the whole nation." Rob a child of its privileges and you had better have a millstone tied about your neck' and you be cast into the sea.
In the nelXt place I orffer the objection that th'e negro children would be under the same law as the whites. I~ for one, can't see how this can work anything but harm. While lOur people are furnishing supplies, we are, forrcing them to koop thcir children in ,00hoo1. Oh my, the non! S8ll1S8
You may be ready now to ask me how we are to interest indifferent parents,and how are we to controll children who are dead to! parental1"8sponsibility. I answer we must begin to apply such remedies as a physician would use. That is, to do something to "assist nature" in becoming restored to a normal condition. Appeal to the hearts ,oJ the parents as we have never done; show them the error of their way and encourage and induce them to set up a system of discipline commensurate with the need. Again, we must call upon all moral agencies and forces to assist us in the work. Get our pr82.chers interested until they will preMh in the interest of the commolll school system. I am sorry they have shown such diffidence in the past. I can truthfully say that since I have been Oommissioner they have not manifested the interest I think the cause deserves. I appl.'ooiatt;l high&" education, but I am candid in my opinioo. when I say I believe the common schools are doing more good than all the educational institutians com-

140
bined. Especially is 'this true, if the statement I saw some time ago is correct. Only one child in a thousand ever saw the inside 10tt a college.
I am <for saving all peoples, but I say <from my heart I am mOire interested in the children of Georgia than I am in saving the people of the Gem of the Antilles, those of the secret haunts of Aguin1aldo and th008 of the celestial empire all put together.
You may ask me how are we to come in touch with these indifferent parents from a standpoint of legal authority. I an&wer, through 'Oiur County Boards. Let the, County Boards pass regulations as to make it encumbe:nt on the teacher to requil'i8 reasons from parents why children don't come, and in maki'ng reports to the Commissioners of irregularity, and then let the boards take such steps as will be most conducive to the securing of better attlemdance. I know nothing better. Every business has its obstacles. The Gospel it!self <fails tlolsecure satisfactory results, but we must bear many ills, and continue to strive to reach our ideals by persuasives rather than coercives.
I am opposecl to running to the Legislature for every remedy for human ills, but let us take courage and keep trying along linel:'! where We knDlw to adopt harsher means would imperil and bring into the quicksands of despair our children's best interests. Gentlemen of this convention, beware of hasty action upon a matter so fraught with the rights and liberties of parents! I expe!ct 'some 'Ott my hearers will utterly destroy me-tear me limb from limb. Let me relate a little story I read the other day. There: were four bro;thers, three of whom were scientifically educated, and the fourth was an honest, pracrtical man, but the three educated brothers regarded him with disfavor, and tlliOught him very ignorant. One day they walked out into the country, and soon they entered the jungles common to their section, and they found the bones of a dead lion ly-

141
ing scattered around. One of the brothers said to the others that through his scientific knowledge and skill he would call up all the bones of the deald beast, and they would put themsehels in 'arder as they had been, when in life. The second said he would cover them at the joints with cartilaginous substance and with muscle, and would endow him with flesh. The third then said he would infuse this body with blood, and put it into circulation. All !()If this was done; whel'euporn the first speaker ,said he would now breathe into it the brea'th of lrfe, and it would become a living creature. At this point the ignorant brother, perceiving his peril, begged that he first be given time to seek safety by going up a tree that was near by, which he hastened to climb. The three gentlemen gave the hitherto dead beast the breath of life, a,nd the hOln rose up and destroyed thes,e magnificernt types of learning, and the ignorant brother came down and ran home.
Now, I beg you, gentlemen, before YOlU put breath into some great beast whose powers will kill and destroy the people, please give me time to seek a place of safety, where my children and I can flee, while this unrelenting beast called compulsory education is sa,t,isfying its appetite with human blood and flesh.
Applauso followed the address of Mr. \Vall, but no dis-
,mss~O!Il.
,The next topic for discussion was, "Place of the Bible m the Public Scho'Ol." Discussion was led by Han. \V. S. Walker, of \Valton county. Mr. \Valker saidl: A proper <1ppreciation lQ;f this topic cain be had only by those whCl have at heart the highest good of all our people, as well as it due regard for those principles and institutions, upon which rests the structure of our natrcmal greatness. Tho 8ubject is of practical importance, and demands immedia,te solution. If it be true that "no question is settled till set tlecl right," it can be none the less true that what is right

142
should be settled as soon as possible. The first part of our subject is suggestive of religion and morals, while the latter part reminds us of the State, which fosters and; guides the intellectual, and to some extent, the moral training of om children, the object being the preventiolll of crime, and the building 01 character. Two apparently conflicting but self-evident propositions present themselve, the notice of which, together with an effort at their reconciliation, will 000l:stitute the substance of this papeir.
I.
It was the mark of the highest wisdom on the paFt of uur forrefathers in framing a constitution 110r the republic to protect the conscience 'olf all in the matter oJ ireligion.
vV81 may wOirship as we plerase, or nat worship at all with-
out duress of law, 'so long as we do nOlt teach what will undermine om social system, Oir endanger the well-being of the State. Pm-haps no principle of om go~ernment is de1arer to the he,arts of all true Americans than that which declares Jor the complete separation of church and State, and the withholding of the State's funds from the SUppl:l!rt of inieJtitutions that are strictly religious. No page in om history is more thrilling tha:n the record of t11'e Pilgrims landing at Plymouth Rock, which event was a protest against an oppression and distasteful church establishment in the Old W orId, and the looarch fOir relief in the new. France, too, gave us inl th'e Huguenots many of 'herr best citizens, undeir conditions similar to those prevailing in England. The dmtrine of religious freedom was inherited by us, and has become morre precious through a widielr acquaintance with the hisrtory of States, where, the blessings we enjo;y are unknown. We are convinced that Upoo a wise interpl'etatioiJ1 .and a judicious applicatiiOlll of this provision depends largely the perpetuity of those social. civil and religiolils institutions, by which the highest type of

143
citizenship is attained. Freedom of conscience, like the Ark IOtt the Covenant among the ancient Israelites, is too sacred to be touched by human hands, howeveir holy. In the stirring eV'6Illtsof our immediate past the justness of this principle has heen asserting itself with considerable force. Count Tolstoi, in S'OlIlle respects the most conspicuous subject of the Czar, has been deniedi fellowship in the State church forr criticizing certain abuses in it~ manage~ ment, 'which action of the authorities has caused a tempest of disc1ontent, as seen in the many riots all OVir the empire, verifying again the old adage "uneasy lies the head t.hat wear1S a crown." The boxer uprising in China owes its origin largely to the inability of the ignorant masses and prejudiced officials to accord '00' some of theil' countrymen the privilegeorf worshipping in a manner differing from that of the ancients. The tide of progress in matters religioUis and political, in things educatilonal and industrial,has met in China a countertide of bigotry, conservatism, seclusiveness, ignorance, superstititon and nat-
ural meanness, for which the Chinaman is not altogether "peculiar." 1 the guiding-star of our civilization had moved eastward from the J udean hills instead of coming westward to Europe, the recent terrible tragedy in Pekin might have occurred somewhere in this, the Western woo:ld. Another significant sign o:f our timels is the recent national conferen!ce in Chicago of the A:ssociation of Cath olic Colleges, which published a vehement protlelstagainst what they cornsidered an unjust discrimination against them in much 10lf our educationallegis:latiorn. They demand the abolition of our entire public school system on the ground that it hinders them in the freedom of conscience to maintain scholOls, in which religious instruction may be given as they desire, since they are burdened to isrupport State schools, which the,y cannot conscientiously patronize. Tho
,:V Hon. Simon olf, a prominent Jew, in a recently pub-

141
lished address, ciOilltends for the separation of church and state, saying that this cherished principle is beillg flagrantly violated in many of our large Norther'll cities; that the Puritans fi~st violated it in requiring a legalized sabbath, which should have been left to the individual; that no sectarian hymn 01' book should be aUoiwooi in a public schoo1. Thomas Jefferson is quoted by him as objecting to the use lad' State fund81 in employing a chaplain for the University of Virginia. The use of the Bible in our schools 8eems, therefore, hedged about by difficulties of considerable magnitude, but perhaps the8e, like mountains, may iseem most unsurmountable, when viewed from a distance.
II.
In looking upon the other side of our topic we find another seH--lVident propositilom, viz.: It is the duty of the State to use the public schools for the highest elevation of her chi1dll'en by allowing every agency, which a reasoning and enlightened intelligClnce would 'sluggest. Our present law says, "The Bible shall not be excluded. from the common or public schools of the State," and that "the County Boards shall not be permitted to introduce into the scholods any text or misc'I11aneous book of a sectarian or [sectional character." "Ve do 11101t ask that any child shall be required to hear the Bible read ini>Chool or to read it, but that, where it is at all practicable, hs wholesome truths shall be accessible to our youth in ways satisfactory to all concerned. As tal the' legalized: Sabbath it can be said this, is a provision from ecOnomic consideration, not simply to' afford a time for wOTship, but rather to force a cessatiloilli from work, that both man and beast may recuperate,s,trength for future toil. The shortening of life so evident among lis is largely due to the unrelenting activity of mind and body so characteristic of our age.

145
This human only, the resting of one day in seven, and is based not simply upon Bible teaching, but upon physical reasons. Prof. Henry Drummond,an eminent English scientist, made himself famous by trying to pl'lO<ve that natural laws run through the Isrpiritual world!. Moral and spiritual laws are thus declared by him to be within the domain of sciencel. Why should n~rt moral philosophy command the same attention in our schools as psychology and natural philasophy?
That the inculcation of sound moral principles is one of the duties 0. the teacher cannot be questioned. If the aim of the, State be to restrain crime and build up character, a casual thought will J:1eveal the common schools as 'Our main reliance at present for the moral training of the young. The churches, the allies of the schools in this work, are as yet sadly inadequate for several reasons. Our church forces in many plaCies lack education and proper training, and in some sections are not in existence, the academy being their forerunner. While appreciating the motive, which prompts some to close the academies against prayerrmeetings, preaching services and Sunday schools, the writer feels this to be a great mistake, knowing, as he does, the religiouS! destitution to be found almost everywhere noiW in this grand State; and believing that in many places the academy furnishes the only means of relief. 'Vho can justly deny that intellectual and moral training should go hand in hanru? Where is the t1eaching either in science or reve" lation that the soul or spiritual nature in man, and the intellectual are to be separated? We might as well deny the three-fold nature of man, or 'I1lse withdraw physical culture from our system, a position untenable as contrary to both reason and the Bible.
The breaking of a window-pane or of a patent desk should not be considered in the stupendous wrolrk of saving
10 e d

146
our children from shame, and reclaiming them to virtue" to holineslS and to Go& As humbly representing both ele'ments in our working :/JoTces, the writer appeals to every philanthropist to join hands cheedully, cordially and vigorously, with good people everywhere, in laying broad and strong the foundati1olns of intellectual and moral strength so essential to the highest development of our children.
What a tremendous force for good is the: public school system! Seven' hundred thousand; children under eight thousand teachers in six thousand 'academies in intimatecontact seven hours a day for an average of at least 120 days in a year, extending through twelve years of childhood, the formative period,the time of vivid imagination, retentiveness 101 memory, buoyancy oi spirit and the budding of ambition. Contact with the Creator in nature studiels, being broadened by geography, inspired by history, ellilohled by studying the object lesson of a refined teacher and cultured County School Commissioner, association with sweet music, sweet flowers and happy bird-songs, theseshould prove a moral force, whose value cannot be too highly estimated.
Whence comes this crystal river of unfailing inspiration: which has elevated every nation brought under its influence, am:1 without which all other nations havel failed to, rise? The answer can be given in the last words of the dying prince of letters, Sir Walter Scott, who exclaimed: "Lockhart, bring me the bOIOlk." "Which book?" said the bewildered son-in-law, turning towards the library. "f. said bring me the book; there' is but one hook. I mean, the Bible." One hundred years ago the King of the SaTId~ wich Islands sent a de}egation fu England to discover the secret of her greatness, and they were shown her churches) her Bible and all the blessings which proceeded from it; whereupon the heathen king abolished by law all forms of idolatry, and soon welc:omed the herralds of a brighter day,.

147
when that people would come under the protection of our own enlightened country. When Constantine, the Roman empeIior of the fourth century, became a Christian, he at once ordered 50,000 volumes of the Scriptures copied and scattered throughout the empire. No civilization can stand without the Bible, since none hllJSI ever risen without it.
Some of the fears as iJoi the Bible in our schools need not be seriously entertained. Our populatioI1 is not so mixed as in some States. In Germany the Bible is invariably read at the clOS18 of the day, when all who wish may be e,xcused. This is said to work without friction, and to accomplish results highly satisrufctory. We would recommend this plan in our city schools and wherelVer needed. But Geo,rgiall!S are practically a unit in reverencing the Bible, and especially throughout our rural districts would a wise use ffi the Scriptures be welcomed. Many sections of the Book could be used asa reader, and nearly all could be rellJd in concert or by the teacher at some period during the day, provided his moral characte,r will allow it, and a simple prayer in many localities would nOit be out of place. The fear of sectarian influences is suggested in our law 001 the subject, and wisely so, for we need to be repeatedily taught the absolute freedom of conscience in all State ,education. Noone is qualified to: teach or preside over teachers who cann!ot control his denominational leanings, when it come::; to those duties he owes to the State. Surely we are reaching a period of intellectual and religious enlightenment, when we, as leaders, will nat allow either ignorance or lurking prejudice to block the pathway of the chilaren in their search :Bo:r the true, the noble and the good.
It has been recently said by a safe authority that no les13 a personage than Mr. Huxley, the famous scientist, affirmed that the religious principle in man is the basis of all . action; that he himself began life with a reaJSlOnable share of it, but by disuse it had become well nigh extinct. Whilo

148

a member of a school board in England, he advrooated vig-
o.rously the introduction of the Bible ill1:to the public schools,
SlllOO, from a literary standpoint and asa moral force, both
restraining and elevating, there was nothing comparable to it.

We feel that the signs of the times point to the dawning

of a brighter day, when from our social, intellectual and

religious world the cllOlU!ds o.f narrow-mindedness, preju-

dice, selfishness, intolerance, ignorance, idolatry, supersti-

tion, tyranny and sin, shall be forever lifted. The world is

even now ablaze with light. Science is subjecting our

bones to the silent but sure processes ,of photography, while

Mr. Huxl'ey, as we have seen, has discovered the religioU131

principle in man, and has begged for the Bible to meet its wants.

We feel constrained to say in this distinguished pres-

'ence that in solving the problem of true education the re"

ligi.OIus feature deserves the sympathetic interest of all who

uudiertake an enterprise so stupendous, so intellile, so es-

sential. Some one in discussing man has exclaimed: "In

{ann and moving how admirable! In action, how like an

angel! In apprehension, ho.w like a god!" Anlother has

paraphrased Pope's famous line by saying, "The proper

study of man is-children." Bishop Candler in one of our

dailies made recently a strong plea for all that is possible

1lo!wards developing the religious principle in the education

of our youth. ,Vith him we urge withorut argument the

perpetuity of our free school system. Guizot is quoted by

.

him as affirming, "In oI'dier to make education truly good

and socially useful it must be fundamentally religious."

The celebrated philosopher, Cousin, is quoted as saying,

"Any system of school training, which sharpens and

strengthens the intellectual powers withiOut at, the same

time affording a source of restraint and counter-check to

their tendency to evil, is a curse rather than a blessing."

149
Sir Archibald Alison, in noting the increase of depravity with the spread of knowledge in France, is quoted as say. ing, "It is not simply knowledge, it is knowledge detached from religion, that produces this fatal result. '\Then so detached, it multiplies the desires and passiorns ad: the heart without an increase to its regulating principles. It augmenils the attacking forces without strengthening the resisting powers, and hence the disorder and license it spreads through society. The invariable characteristic of a declining and corrupt state of society is the progr~sl3live increase in the force of a passion and a progressive ,decline in the influence of duty." The impression exists in the minds of many Istudents of the times that QJur civilization bears the marks of a declining state; that in many centers of so~called culture we have become wiser, yet weak8il'. Intellectual hardihood, individuality and independence, seriousness o'f purpose, intensity of zeal, the glow of enthusiasm, lO'ftiness of patriotism, purity in politics, cO'llfidence in business, patience in hardship, fratemity and philanthropy, these and other flowers of a former civilization do not seem to be growing now in the profusion and richness of a formeI' day. Perhaps the stre.am of public education is bringing up the impure from be'lleath, rendering tho surface, less clear, while the general current i:~f moving steadily on to the ocean of final pro,tection. Our Catholic friends contend that tIle< public schools are, demoralizing, and it does seem that each succeeding generation is becoming mOTe irreverent, more res,t}ess, less disposed to patient toil, less loyal to home, less obedient to the laws of God and man. We fear that present cO'nditions do not warrant the highest degree of aSlsrurance, and would urge "eternal vigilance as the price of liberty." If decline in many qua.rters has set in, we see no reason for laying the blame upon the public school system. The best of laws need enforcement, and all machinery needs the careful touch of experienced hands,

150
who' will 'See that every part, from the t.lrrohbing engine and fly-wheel to the remotest pulley, has constant attention. The public school was never intended to take the place of the horne. Perhaps the horne has in too many instances given over the child to the teacher. The rootrum of the academy was never intended as a substitute for the pulpit. But can we not wisely manipulate all these agencies for the uplifting of the masses? If not identical, why be totally divorced? The immortal Washington declared: "Of all the dispositions. and habits which lead to political prosperity, religion and morality are iiudispensable supports."
It is humiliating to hear that Georgia stands seventh in illit,era,cy in the gallaxy of States. We believe the spirit.ual condition of her citizens will compare faVIOrably with the best, and yet the fact remains that much spiritual destitution exists allover the commonwealth. Many of our public school children seldOllll hear a prayer. Around some of our church houses ignorance and depravity, twin sisters of vice, run riot. In many plac1es, as was said, the public school gives the only ray ofh'ope, and in those communities a Godly woman with Bible in hand could easily move alS an angel of mercy. The Bible stands for all that is good and pure and enduring among us. The Puritans may have had their faults, but the memories of Plymouth Rock thrill yet the souls of all who are adorning our history, or adding lustre to our flag. Our great disc10rverer was familiar with the Bible, and on landing, after planting the flag of Spain upon the sh1ore, knelt and dedicated the New World to Him who had rewarded his se1arch, and protected him from both sailors and sea.
Our 600,000 children need the bread 'OIf strength-giving cheter. To whom can they look with so much assurance as tlo' the teachers, whom we, the representatives of a great State, have sent forth to lead them? Ohanging slightly the words of another we would say:

151
"'Yemen of Georgia, this God-favored land Oh, why in the conflict do you idle stand? ' While sin and Clorruption and ruin and blight Are wrapping your sons in the mantle of night?
"The Bible for Georgia, come join the refrain, VV81 are marching to conquest in Hi'S blessed name. The desert shall blossom, the mOlmtains shall sing, And Heaven'ls high arches with the chorus shall ring.
"The Bible for Georgia! Oh grant it, dear Lord; Hail all you good people, be this your reward; And when the dear Master shall bid us all come, May you and your children be safe gathered home."
No discussion followed Mr. \Valker's remarks.
The next topic fbI." discussion was, "Can We Make the Annual Institute Profitable with the Present Appropriation?" Discussion was led by Hon. W. B. Merritt, of Lowndes county, as :follows: I feellikie brevity is especially desirable at this time. I have noted down a few points that I W'ould like to suggest in reference to this matter. vVe regret that the appropriation is not a large one. I think many counties have acted wisely in appropriating what :Us necessary to conduct the Institute and incidental expense'S. Can we make it profitable? That is the question, not a success. I would answer that I think we can in :a measure. Where there are two or three gathered to~ gether in this matter they will accomplish great good. Now to make it the mOl3it profitable, we must prepare fun and definite work months in advance. I think it would be better to have one day fixed, and let the teachers know of it, and everyone wi11100k forward to it. I knew of a minister once in a community, who, as soon as he came into his charge would begin to talk protr.acted meeting, and he talked it and talke<1 it until no one could lose sight of the fact that a protracted meeting was to be held during his

152
stay among that people. He would never let them forget it. Now sometimes we have seen Institutes where teachers did not know what was to be done, and it took just about one week to get things moving. They would make a riffle or two a,t things, and wilt till the next year.
The monthly. institute is a great help too, and really I don't see how we cou1r1 get along without that unless the Oommissioner could' go every few daY'S! to his teachers.
I think we might get the Legislature, to increase this appropriation. W I know, of course, that the teachers are not busy during vacation and they can work a little cheaper, but not so much cheaper. I would like to say further in running over these pO'ints that I think it would be very wholesome and profitable to have licellEld institute conductors, as we have licensed teJachers, so as to be sure that the work is under the guidance of competent hands. It would be still better if we had district supervisors. In lother words, bring all the forces pOlssible to bear. Sometimes Oounty Board members never look in on the Institute. If they do, they just pass by and look in. They ought to take more intereElt in this wo,rk.
vVe ought to cjompare the work of the schools. That is one of the most effective helps in the world. I have had 'our teachers to draw little maps of a community, and mark a little square mark for each house, and put dots in each square tlo' locate the children. I can refer to those, and I can tell you just exactly how the school is located as regards the childtren. Getting one of these maps in shape is a job, but it seems to stimulate efforts and help others.
Oombining two to {bur counties, in my judgment, is one of the belSt things to be done. It brings more teachers together, and it's a great help.
W I are discussing this question in all of its bearings. To unite tweJve or thirteen counties I do not think it at all to the best interests of the teachers. I like the plan well

153
enough, perhaps, but have one at home, too. It's better and helps them more. Sometimes not convenient for them to' go far from home to atternd Institute.
As stated, I think a plan should all be made out beforehand, assign lessons, ,cIte. I think we ought to, enlarge on the metho,ds laid down.. 1 we could have the same for the State, it would be vmy well. 'N81 ne,ed more extended work there.
Mr. Merritt then related an incident where a teacher had told him of an Institute he had attended, and the teacher expressed himself as so sorry that the Commiss~oner could not attend. Upon being aske'CL what line was pursued. he could not answer, but said he did remember that they discussed Longfellow, but he could not tell the Commissioner one single selection from IJongfellow that had been discmH~d.
Mr. Merritt told in a must interesting way oJ the meeting of Institutes in Pennsylvania, where it is regarded as a general public interest, in which every one takes pride, and everybody encourages it.
~!(r. J\ferritt closed his interesting remarks by enjoining upon his hearers the necessity of manifesting more interest in the Institutes, which he thinks can be made more profitable if greater attention is paid to them, and the pr10rper interest is aroused. That the Institute !should be talked of from year to year by all interested, and that everyone should, when in attendance, do all in his power to make it interesting, instructive and impressive upon the teachers. Chairman Glenn then urged that when the Institutes are held, it should be made a plO'int that the membeI1S1 oJ the Legislature from each county be cordially invited to attend at least two or three days. It would serve to post them at least as to what the Institutes are doing and what they are expected to dl(). Mr. Glenn further stated that the matter 'of appropriation of funds for this purpOl~e was

154
liable to COIDe up at the next session of the Legislature, and if the members of the Legislature are advised about these Institutes they would be better prepared to act in the matter.
Supt. Wooding, of Banks.-Don't you think, if we secure this increased appropriati1on that five days is too short a time for the teachers?
Chairman Glenn.-I do. In most of the States the Institute lasts fo~ a month. As Mr. Merritt (Slays, the Pennsylvania Institute is the finest thing of the year. I wish we had a month's Institute, sufficient funds to maintain it, and sufficient provision in the law to require everybody to' attend who ought to attend those Institutes.
Supt. Duggan, of Hancock.-I would suggest that it is the most important of all things that the Board of Education atte:nd.
Supt. Rogers, of Washington county, who had been excused several times, was then called upon to give his views briefly on the centralization of sch1ools, which he did. It was a most interesting talk, and the idea advanced by Mr. Rogers was that it was best to locate a number of schools as tributary to one high school, centrally lloeated, taking into consideration ease of accessibility, etc.. This plan hllJd worked wen in his county, 'SiO well, in fact, tha~ people were moving from tIown to the country to educate their children instead Oif from the count>I'y to town.
Mr. Rogers advanced the idea, too, that the centralizaiion and consolidation 10 schools had a most desirable effect in the way of enhancing values of real estate in his county.
The question of a place of meeting for the next annual convention of Oounty School Superintendents wrus taken up. The two places put in nomination were Dublin, Ga., and Augusta, Ga.; Augusta, Ga., was selected as the place of meeting; time of meeting, first week in May.

]55

The chair appointed as a committee to serve with the

chairman and secretary as an executive committee for the

next year the fiollowing gentlemen:

Supt. Clayton, of Bartow.

Supt. Marchant, of Colquitt.

Supt. ,Vall, of Elbert.

'The three following places were d&lignated for the pur-

pose of holding the Peabody Institute:

McRae, Ga., ,on the 10th of June.

Cordele, Ga.

Sparta, Ga.

The committee on resolutions then offered the follow-

ing, which were adopted:



Resolved, That we realize the necessity in Georgia 0'

well-trained teachrs, and recognize the State Normal

School as an indispensable adjunct to the public school l8lYs-

tem of the State. We call the attention of the Legislature

to the urgent n~ed of this school of a commodious, weU-

equipped college building, and recommend an appropria-

tion to this end as timefY and wise.

Resolved, That we request our State School Commi&-

sioner to call the attention of the members of the Legisla-

ture at its next session to the necessity of making the qual-

ifications 'of members of Boards of Education intellectual

rather than financial.

Resolved, That we tend81' our thanks to the Hon. Hoke

Smith, of Atlanta, for his kindly interest in thel public

schools of Georgia, and his magnificent gifts of circulating

libraries to thlose who have thus been favored.

Resolved, That the appropriation of $25.00, at present

allOiWed by law to be expended on Teachers' Institutes, does

not prorvide an Institute, which satisfies the needs of the

teachers of the common schools. Further, that the Legis-

lature be and is hereby petitioned by this Conrvention of

School Superintendents to so alter the law as to allow the

156
expenditure, of an amount not exceeding $100.00 on the Institute, and to compel the holding of the Institute for at least two weeks each year.
Resolved, That we desire to tend~er our thanks to Ohancellar Hill and faculty of the State University, and to President Branson and faculty of the State N annal School, for special attention and courtesies to our body. vVe also wish to thank Prof. Bond, of the city schools of Athens, the AthenlBum Olub, the Athens Banner, the electric street railro,ad and the railroads of Georgia, who gave us low rates, and the kind-hearted citizens of Athens generally for many kind and considerate attentions that have made our :8tay in Athens pleasant, and pleasant memories will follow us home.
The chair appointed a committee of three, composed of Supts. vValker, Beck and Attaway, to submit a resolution upon the death of Han. J. :F'. Oheney, former Oommissioner of Ogleth'o,rpe county. The following resolution was submitted by this committee and adopted unanimously:
",Vhereas, during the last year one of our number, Han. J. F. Oheney, Oounty School Oommissioner .orf Oglethorpe county, has been called to the better land;
Therelfore be it resolved, That in the death of Brother Oheney this convention has lost a faithful and efficient member, the cause lof education an earnest friend and successful worker, and all good causes the labor and counsel o a wise, pure-spirited Ohristian gentleman.

STATE INSTITUTIONS.
University of Georgia, Athens, Ga., August 1st, 1901. Han. G. R. Glenn, State School Commissioner, Atlanta, Ga.: Sir-Pursuant to your request, I have the honor to submit the :Bollowing report relative to the University of GeorgIa:
I. Centennial Celebraiion.
The. University celebrated at its commencement this year the centennial of its organization. Although chartered in 1785, it was not until June 15th, 1801, that the first President was installed, and the work of the institution formally inaugurated. During the week correspond:ing to this anniversary period, viz.: June 12th-19th, a brilliant series 'of literary exercises commemorrated the occasion. Dr. Benjamin 1I. Palmer, of New Orleans; Dr. J. L. M. Ourry, of Washington; Hon. John Temple Graves, of Atlanta, and Judge Emory Speer, of Macon, all alumni of the University, took part; alsol Hon. Oscar Straus, of New York, and Dr. Henry Van Dyke, of Princeton. These exercises, in the opinion of the large aduiences that greeted the speakers and the many who read the reports of their addresses in the newspapers, will mark a new era in the educational history of the' State.
II. Enrollment of Students.
The University at Athens has enrolled 330. Thi,s is the highest attendance in the history of the Univ81'sity, and it is a cause of congratulation that the high-water mark of

158

attev'.lance has been reached during the centennial year. The highest attendance in any previous period was in 1896-7, when it reached 313.
The students are distributed in the departments of the University as fOIUo,\vs:

Franklin College

121

State College of Agriculture and the Mechanic Arts. 119

Law Department

86

Graduate School

4

Total

330

III. Service of the University to the State.

The recorn of the University during its first hundred years hUis been one of usefulness to the State. The number of graduates and matriculates has been 5,531. Of these 141 have been ministers of the Gospel; 118 have been judges; 216 have reached military distinction; 6 have been United States Senators; 47 have been members of Congrelss; 66 have been trustees of the University; 47 have been college presidents; 88 have been professors in colleges, while others have reached distinction at the bar, in medicine, in successful and progressive agriculture, in manufacturing, and in all the diversified forms of modem business activity.

IV. New Buildings.

The present General Assembly appropriated to the University $45,000. Out of this amount two new buildings have been constructed, one a dormitory, which has been named by the trustees Candler Hall, and the other the students' dining hall, which has been named the B. A. Denmark Hall. Illustrations of these new buildings ac-

159
company this report. It is proposed that each student in the new dormitory will pay one. dollar for the use of his room, the amount so paid to serve We! a maintenance fund. The new dining hall will be an enlargement of the dining hall which has heretofore been conducted as a co-operative imtitution, under the charge of Prof. C. M. Snelling, which has been one C!f the most successful enterprises connected with the University. The price of board has been reduced to about $7.50 per month.
V. What the State Has Done for the Univr;rsity.
The centennial marks a peri10d which justifies a statC'" ment respecting the State's appropriations to the University in the one hundred years of its history. The amount appropriated during that entire period is $81,400. This amount may be ascertained without difficulty, for while the first grant of the State to the University was in lands, which have since become the source of the annual payment of $8,000, their money value is stated in the act. The State's appropriations during the century amount to le'26 than the donations of private individuals. These facts should be known, not as in the statement of a grievance, but to c10rrect false impressions that eXll;:rt among those who are not informed. There is warrant for the belief that the future policy of the State will be to grant the University an annual appropriation for its progressive development.
VI. Expenses.
No tuition fee is charged residents of Georgia in either Franklin College or the State College.
The following estimate of expenses includes all nece&-sary items except clothing and railroad fare:

Hi4
The following extract f1;0111 their report will be of interest:
"The moral tone of the University is good, and steadily improving. Competent witnesses testify that it is better than it has been in ;year81 \Ve do not desire to be uncler~tood as finding no breaches of the moral law. For in an enrollment of 331 students it may be expected that some will hring with them evil habits formed at home, while others, C'njoying for the first time freedom from parental supervision, will commit acts which demand and receive certain d i~icip] inc at the hands of the authorities."
IX. Department of Agriculture.
The appropriation by the trustees of $5,000 to ihis department justifies the expectation of its growth and increased usefulness. A large area of the campus, consisting of about eight acres, has been set apa.rt for experimentation on the intensive scale, and the installatvon of the Depm'tment of Animal Industry. The location of a large part of this work on the campus will bring it to the attention of the general public and of visitors tlol the University gr011'nds. The Philosophical Hall has been turned over to the department to be used for lecture-room and an agricultnral rnu.-eum.
Beginning in January, 1902, there will be a short winter ('CHll'Se in agriculture (six weeks), intended especially for those who are unable to take the full course. For this ('Ol1rse no tuition or other fees are chargeable.
X. Law Department.
In this department, the course has been changed from a one-year course tlO a two-year course. In view of the fact that most of the Law Schools of the country have a course "lllhracing three years, and some of them fonr years, it is

'quite evident that the time had come III Georgia florr an :ach'ance in this direction. The action of the trustees in this matter has evidently met with the sympathy of the legal vrofe~'Sion in the State, as was indicated by the action of the Georgia Bar Association at its last meeting. The Associati'on adopted R resolution (according to! press report) nrging that hereafter no Law School diploma should entitle the holder to admission to the bar unless the school issuing .the diploma provided f'Or a two~year course.
XI. The Alumni Subscription.
During the year the movement undertaken by the :nlumni of the'University to raise a subscription to be used for University purposes was diligently pre.S1sed, and it was .ascertained at commencement that about $50,000 had been subscribed. The first installment upon the subscriptiOlls was due in July, 1901, and mOTe than $12,000 'of the .amount has already been paid in.
The largest single gift for this fund was that of Han. 'George Foster Peabody, of New York, a native of Colum 1)m, Ga., who (~olntribllted the sum of $5,000.
V ery respectfully, WALTER B. HILL, Chancellor.

STATE NORMAL SCHOOL
Hon. G. R. Glenn, State School Commissioner, Atlanta l Ga:
Dear Sir: In accordance with your request, I have the honor to report to you the condition of things at the State Normal School f'l1T the year 1901.
ATTENDANCE AND FACILITIES.
The year is just half gone and we have enrolled 453 students, exclusive of the 61 pupils in the Model School. Our dormitory falicities are taxed to their utmost, and no one of our class rooms will accommodate our freshman class with comfort. Mind you, we have only four recitation rooms for a student body averaging over five hundrer~ from year to year. This is less space for class l'oom work than may be found in any ward school. However, Mr. George Foster Peabody of New York, has given us ten thousand ($10,000) dollars toward a building fund, upo'~ 00ndition that we raise twenty-five thousand ($25,000) dol lars. This amount must be raised and a commodious, wellequipped college building put upon these grounds without delay. The real development of this institution is otherwise stopped. It is easy to have a big school; it is not so easy to have a great school. Although the legislature has never appropriated but seven thousand ($7,000) dollars for the erection of buildings here, it is not our purpose to worry this body in regard to appropriations for buildings at the coming session. We hope to demonstrate to' them and the general public in Georgia that this school is fully worth all that they can afford to give it in the future.

OURRIOULUM AND STUDENT BODY.

The COUllse of study in this school, by action of the commission, has become a three years' instead of a two years' course as heretofore. This has enabled us to enlarge and enrich every department of instruction, and this means, of oourse, a riper and Illore liberal scholarship on the part of the graduates.
The freshman class course covering ten months of work is devoted entirely to a review of the common school studies together with methods of teaching tthem. The purpose of this course is to enable the students who take it to secure the highest grade of license offered by the State. Although thilS school no longer issues licenses to teach, nevertheless 110 of our students took the State examinaation last June under Oaptain T. H. Dozier, O. S. 0.) Olarke county. Their papers were sent to the commissioners of the home counties :OT grading, and more than: 60 per cent. of them secured first grade license. I instance this as indicating the worth of our freshman class course.
Our middle and senior class courses cover one year each, and the students who have entered upon these graduate COUllses (beyond the freshman class), make a larger number this year than eve,r before in the history of the school. Indeed, the attainments of the matriculates of this school show this year a gratifying gain upon previous years. One hundred and eighteen of our students have come here with first grade license, and ninety-nine of them with college and high school diplomas, as follows:

The added schools and enlarged courses render this in stitution more and more attractive to graduate students. Every opportunity will be afforded such students to win our diplomas within a reasonable time. This school not only offers thorough academic instruction, but it also offers desirable culture in the purpose, principles; and methods of teaching. The general public is beginning to feel this way. about it also. "Ve have upon file 112 letters calling upon us to supply teachers for places, with salaries all the way from $30.00 a month to $1,800 a year. The standards of admission and promotion are being gradually raised, all of which means an increased value attaching to our diplomas.

ART EDUCATION Al-,TD MANUAL TRAINING.
This year our Art Education and Manual Training Department has been greatly developed. DraWIng with brush, pencil, and charcoal; work with water colors and colored crayon; design in black-and-white and color; clay modeling; mechanical drawing, card-board construction and paper folding, knife work and sloyd, have all been put into the coume, and are now under good headway. Our cooking school was equipped through the generosity of Mr. Rober't C. Ogden of New York. For lack of adequate buildings this school had to be put into a small two-room cottage on the premises. The kitchen and dining-room, however, are nicely outfitted, and upon the evening of the 22d, the junior class ,in cooking entertained the graduating class with a creditable and delightful dinner.
The sloyd shop has been outfitted with twenty benches with full kits of tools each, and this school, for lack of a better place, is located in a dingy old out-house upon the school gorunds.
GEORGE FOSTER P:EABODY.
J\Ir. George Foster Peabody has also established a Department of Domestic Arts and Sciences in this school, the specific purpose of which is to dignify the idea of homemaking. The students in this department are in training as teachem, not as domestic'S or servants. The purpose is to have the schools reach upon :the homes and everywhere make them better homes if possible. "It includes the teaching of physiology as every woman ought to know it, hygiene, home nursing and home remedies in cases of emergency, cooking, dietaries for the sick, feeding and care of children, sanitation, sewing, home ornamentation, etc. This department has been organized by Miss Jane E.
.Taylor of Baltimore, a graduate of the \Voman's College

197
Baltimore, and of the Oread Institute, Massachusetts and
:Miss Ida Turnbull, a graduate of the N omnal and I~dus
trial School, J\illedgeville, and of the Oread Institute. The equipment and salaries of this department will 'Call for an expelniditure of about $3,500, and this department will go a long way toward making this school a modern normal scho'ol in its equipment and courses. The students in this department already number 229. The equipments alone for this department cost about $1,200. vVe can not be too grateful to :1fr. George Foster Peabody, whose generosity makes this thing possible.
In regard to the Manual Training, Art Education, the Domestic Arts and Sciences, and everything else done in this school, I may say, that the purpose is to turn out teachers of high academic culture, professional skill, and practical usefulness both in the school !loom and in the home. vVe feel confident that Providence has great things in store for this school, and that it will justify in the future the wisdom of the legislature in creating and maintaining it.
FURTHER IMPROVEMENTS.
The interiors iof the dormitories have been completely renovated and disinfected, and the living apartments of this school are altogether sweet and clean and comfortable. vVe have a new kitchen with modern equipments, closets, bathrooms with hot and cold water on every floo'r of thE< dormitories; a new sewerage system, a new outfit of silver and crockery for the mess hall, and many othe:r things that we have so urgently needed for so long a time. This sewer age system and plumbing is paid for out of the $6,500 granted to us for the purpose by the legislature at its last session and by reason of the generosity of the city of Athens, whi0h has borne onee-half of the cost of laying the sewer-pipes, we shall be able to return to the general mainten-

198
ance !fund a very handsome portion of this appropriation. 2. The library of the school has been increased by the
addition of more than 1,300 books since the first of last March, most of which volumes have been donated to us from the lib~aries of the genel'OUS people of Athens. The reading-room is amply suppUed,with current literature, educational journals, and the daily papers of the State. The need for this library and reading-room has been urgent, and its use by these book-hungry students has added greatl~ to the culture value of this illBititution.
3. Oourses in Sight-singing and Spanish are being given by Prof. Euler B. 'Smith to large classes daily.
4. Another room and teacher have been added to tho Model School, and we no,w have all the classes of the COlllmon school oourse, doing work in a graded scheme of instruction, under skilled instructors. This department of our work offers valuable opportunities to our students for observation work and practice teaching. Sixty odd homemade reading charts, music charts, nature study and language charts, have been made by our students at odd hours i'll the Model School this year.
SOHOLARSHIPS.
Recently the daily weekly press of the State has been discussing the subject of scholarships in this school for dependent, deserving young women from the various countic~ of the State. I take 'the privilege of inserting here an editorial from the Dublin Oourier-Dispatch:
"The State Normal School is doing a great work for Georgia, and the people should support it liberally.
"Seve'llty-five dollars will pay all expenses of living in the Normal School dormitory for one year. Tuition is of course free. No such advantages can be had for this amount of money anywhere else on earth-and yet there

199
are more young men and women in Georgia anxious for an education, who 'are unable to get it because they have not the $75. Recently President Branson wrote the Atlanta Oonstitution thrut 'there are twenty women in this school who are eager and anxious Tiff an education in order to be released from a condition of dependence. One of them lliSked me the other day if I could not give her some work to do, even a servant's place. She had been used to working in the field, and if she went home she would have to work in the field again. This woman is very bright and capable, but frail physically.' The faculty of the school created a scholarship at once, and will take care of this young woman until her education is finished.'
"There is no better way for the philanthropic people of Georgia to aid in the cause of education than by establishing scholarships in this school. Already there are five other scholarship students in the school. President Branson hopes for one hundred and fifty such scholarships by the first of September.
"Who will begin the good work in Lau~ens by establishing a seholarship from this county? There are many persons in this county able to contribute $75 or a year's board and for some worthy boy or girl, and they could not spend $75 in a better way."
As a result of these general newspaper discussions, twelve scholarships have been established. One each from Muscogee, Douglas, Morgan, Banks, Madison, Habersham and Franklirn, and two from Fulton and three from Olarke. The faculty of this school led the way and are educating one young woman at their own e.xpense. We hope that we shall have a scholarship student from every county in Georgia by the end of the year.
In this connection, the authorities of this school are especially indebted to Mr. Hoke Smith, Atlanta; Mr. J. J. Clack, :M:adison; 001. M. O. Wilcox, Mt. Airy; Dr. A. L.

200
Branham, Atlanta; Mr. J. L. Fleming, Augusta; Dr. I. H. Goss, Athens; Messrs. Turner & Hodgson, Athens, and their noble clerks, Messrs. A. H. Whitehead, J. W. Turner, E. F. Willis, E. G. Turner and J. C. Harris; Mr. Asbury Hodgson, Athens; 1fr. F. L. Florence, C. S. C., Madison; Mr. VV. S. Walker, C. S. C., Monroe; Mr. Clarke Howell of the Constitution; Mr. E. B. Hook ,of the Augusta Chronicle; Mr. T. VV. Loyless, Atlanta Journal; Mr. Pleasant A. Stovall, of the Savannah News; Mr. G. C. Matthews, of the Macon News; 1fr. W .T. Bacon, of the Madisonian; Mr. VV. Trox Bankstlon of the West Point News; 1fessrs. Stanley and I-Iilton of the Dublin Courier-Dispatch; Mr. Chas. and 1Iiss Martha Bass of the Clarkesville Advertiser; Mr. J. E. Gardner of the Clarke County Courier; Mr. T. W. Reed of the Athens Banner. These good people have taken the initiative in campaigning this idea of scholarships, and we are especially indebted to them tor theil' generous helpfulness.
SUM.MER SCHOOL OF METHODS.
Next year, beginning July 21st a!Ild lasting for four weeks, a summer school of methods for the benefit of such teachers in the State as are unable to spend ten weeks with UIS. The course will offer instruction in the me,thods \If teaching the common school subjects; sight-singing, nature study, drawing, clay modeling, knife work, cardboard construction, paper folding, sewing, cooking, together with other subject1s belonging to the Department of Domestic Arts and Sciences, and review work in the various academic subjects.
We expect the cooperation of the Faculty of the University of Georgia, and we shall have in addition art least two educators outside the State, whose names stand for the most ,advanced ideas and methods in education. The

201
teachers can come to us, board in the dormitory at a very nominal cost, and stay for one week or for the who'le of the time as their opportunities may permit.

OHANGE IN THE SOHOOL OALENDAR.
The se3sion of 1902 will begin the first Tuesday in February, a month earlier than usual, and run until the second Tuesday in June. The summer vacation for this year will last from this date until July 21st, when the Summer School of Methods will begin a:nd run for four weeks, ending Friday, August 15th. On Tuesday, August 19th, the regular session begins and hereafter will run regularly throughout the fall, winter, and spring for nine months ending the last Tuesday in April 0. each year.

"THE GRKt\!T NURSERY OF THE STATE."

In c1ming my report I wish to add an editorial by Mr.

Clark Howell in the Oonstitution of June 19, 1901. Bet-

ter than anything else that has ever been said about the

filled by the sons and daughters of the communities in

which they will be ultimately employed. The State N or-

mal School invites to its sessions the young men and wo-

men of every militia district in the State, and it is safe to

say that among the five hundred persons annually enrolled

there is a larger representation of the whole people than is

to be found elsewhere. These people are attached to the

soil. They return to their homes the evangels of a new

dispensation, with new ideas of neatness and order, with

20:2
new incentives for higher living, with an ambition to mako themselves the equals of any other community. These ideas they inculcate throughout the neighborhoods to which they return, and even when they cease to teach in the school room, as fathers and mothers of the coming gen' eration they are better fitted to be leaders in the uplifting and widening of the public mind. Already over 3,000 persons have passed through this school and are to-day performing their beneficent mission tn everr-y neighborhood, from the northeast corner of Rabun to the southwest cor' ner of Decatur.
"Such an insttitution should receive evm"Y encouragement and be placed in a position to keep its doors wide open to every applicant. It is the great nursery of the State, by whose work every other work may be judged."

GEORGIA NORMAL AND INDUSTRIAL OOLLEGE, MILLEDGEVILLE, GA.
TENTH ANNUAL REPORT. SESSION OF 1900-1901.
By
J. Harris Ohappell, President.
Milledgeville, Ga., Aug. 15, 1901. H on. G. R. Glenn, Stat,e School Commissioner, Atlanta,
Ga: I have the honor to present to you the following report of the work of the Georgia Normal and Industrial OoHege for the session 1900-1901, the same being the tenth annual session of the institution.

203
ATTENDANCE.
There were in attendance on the college during the ses. sion 384 students, coming from 98 diffelrent counties in Georgia. This is the largest attendance we have ever had. At the beginning of the session many applicants for admiSsion had to M turned away from the institution for want of room in the co11ege dormitories. Besides the 384 co11ege students above mentioned, there were 70 children, from six' to fourteen years of age, in our teacher training Model School, making a total attendance of 454 pupils.

CLASSIFICATION.

The 454 pupils were divided among the different departments as follows:

NORMAL DEPARTMENT.
The work of the Normal Department has been kept up to its high standard of the past in every particular, and has been more satisfactory than ever before along the lines of the Nature Study and Manual Training. Mo're time was given this year for fuller instruction on: such subjects, and the result has been manifest in increased interest and effi ciency, especially in the Nature Study teaching of the girls. This has been noticed by all of the critic teachers.

204
The Practicel Teaching branch of the department was -conducted throughout the session with great thoroughness and efficiency. The Model School used for this practice teaching contained one hundred and forty pupils, from six to sixteen years of age. It was divided into eight classes corresponding with the first eight grades of the best city public school systems. The Training Class is made up of the members of the Senior and the Special N annal Classes. It is divided into sections, each section teaching anti observing alternately. Every grade in the Model School and all of the branches in the curriculum, including Physical Culture and Free>-hand Drawing, are taught by them. This Practice Teaching is done under the careful supervision and direction of expert Nonnal Training teachers. The salaries of these teachers are paid by the Peabody Educational Fund. If it were not for the generous aid extended to us by this fund it would be impossible for us to have this well-organized, splendidly conducted school for the practical training of our pupils in the art of teaching, and without such training our N annal Department would be very incomplete and comparatively inefficient.
Our Nonnal Department aims to give not only Pedagogical knowledge and skill in the practice of teaching, but also that broad and accurate scholarship so' essential to the teacher. For this purpose all of our Normal pupils are required to take our admirable course of Collegiate study. This course embraces four years of work and includes not -only the usual scientific and literary branches, but also the best of instruction in free-hand drawing, physical culture, and elementary manual tratining. Our N onnal graduates, therefore, go forth well equipped to do intellige'llt work ac-cording to the best methods known to modern Pedagogy. They have no difficulty in obtaining positions at fair salaries. Indeed, there is a greater demand for our graduates .as teachers than we can supply.

205
:MANUAL TRAINING.
In connection with the Normal Department, I would call your 'special attention to the progress and impl'o,vement that we made during the past session in the line of :Manual Training. In the lower grades of the :Model School the children were carefully instructed in sewing, paper-cutting, paper-weaving, clay modelling, making envelopes" boxes, cardbo,ard furniture, and simple Christmas gifts. In the upper grades of the :Model School the manual training consisted of all sorts of hand-work naturally or logically related to the subjects of the curriculum. The aim ,o,f theentire course in manual training was: (1) To inter-relate thinking and learning with dOiing and making. (2) To lay deep and well the foundation for industrial development.
:Much of this manual training teaching was done by the pupil-teachers of the Normal Training Class who, had themselves previously received careful instruction in the work itself and in the methods of teaching it to children.
INDUSTRIAL DEPART:MENT.
The purpose of this department of the college is twofold, namely:
1. To, prepare Georgia girls to earn their own livelihood by the practice of some one or other of those industrial art:> that are suitable for women to pursue.
2. To prepare Georgia girls to be skilled and expert in those domestic arts that lie at the foundation of all successful housekeeping and home-making.
To answer this purpose the following subjects are taught: Stenography and typewriting, bookkeeping, sewing and dressmaking, cooking and floriculture.
The number of students instructed in each of thesebranches during the past session was as follows:

Quite a large number of students took more than one ot these industrials, hence in the above list there are many duplicates. The students who took these industrials pursued also at the same time the regular college course of studies, either in full or in part. Pupils below the Freshman Class are, as a rule, not allowed to' take any of the industrial branches as their entire time is required in the work of laying the foundation of a good general education.
A gratifying fact in connection with our Industrial Department is that ,the purely feminine for home-making industrials, such as sewing and dressmaking, cooking and household economics, and floriculture, grow more and more popular every year with our pupils. All of these studies together constitute what we call our Domestic Science Department. During the past session the study of floriculture was added to this department, and was put in charge of our superintendent of grounds, an educated gentleman and one of the best practical floriculturists and gardeners in the South. This branch promises to be one of the most popular and valuable studies pursued in our Industrial Department.

COLLEGIATE DEPARTMENT.
This department is subsidiary to both the Normal and Industrial Departments. It embrace'S most of the standard litecr-ary and scientific studies usually taught in women's colleges. Thorough instruction in free~hand drawing, physical culture, and C'ooking form also a part of its regular

207
curriculum and are required fo-r graduation. Nearly every pupil in the institution last sessio-n took this co-lIege course either in full o-r in parl. The entire wo-rk of the department was eminently satisfactory.
NEEDS OF THE OOLLEGE.
The college is in urgent need of 1st. An infirmary building. At present two, comparatively small rooms, one in each dormitory, are used for this purpose. At times they are totally inadequate for the proper accommodation of the sick girls among our three hundred boarding pupils. These rooms are situated in the ' midst of the distracting noises that are inevitable in a large do-rmitory occupied by hundreds of girls, and it is impossible to have for the patients the quiet that is so necessary in many cases of sickness. The next legislature should give us a special appropriation of at least $5,000 to build and equip a proper infirmary. 2d. An anll8'X to the main college building. The present building is wholly inadequiate for our purposes. Mnre l'ooms and larger rooms are specially needed for our In,dustrial Department. The present contracted and overcrowded quarters are a serious disadvantage to the work. 3d. A better equipment for the Normal Department and the Natural Science Department. 4th. More books for the college library. For the past seven years we have heen able to spend altogether not more thanJ $300 for books for the library, and with our present income there is no prospect that we shall be able to- devoto any more money in this extremely important purpose. I earnestly hope that the State Legislature at its next session will make our college a special appropriatiorn to supply these urgent ne:eds. Yours truly,
J. HARRIS OHAPPELL, President Georgia Normal and Industrial Oollege.

NORTH GEORGIA AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE,
Joseph S. Stewart, President,
Dahlonega, Georgia.
AugUlSt 19, 1901. H on. G. R. Glenn, Stat,e School Commissioner, Atlanta,
Ga:
Dear Sir: In respo'llse to your request I have the honor to present the following report of the North Georgia Agricultural College for the session of 1900-01:
There were in attendance at the institution during the! year 174 in the clQUege classes and 26 in the Peabody Model School. Every county with two e,xceptions, north of Atlanta, was represented, while t,wenty-eight below Atlanta were represented. We have increased our dormitory capacity so that now we can ho'ard100 young men on the campus at $8.00 a month. Our dormitory for girls will be completed this fall. This will give accommodations for 60 girls at $10.00 a month, everything furnished. We are keeping expenses down to a minimum, so that the young men and young women of our section may find a full college course within their reach. I submit a detailed statement of the several plans of boarding aI}d the nooessary expenses for a college year:

First Plan.

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

Those in military who have no uniform will add to the above estimates $13.50, which amount will purchase uniform good for two years.
In first plan $100.00 is ample for all expe.nses for the year.
In second plan $125.00 to $175.00 is a liberal estimate for the year.
In third plan $125.00 is a safe estimate for all expenses.

COURSES OF STUDY.
Sub-Freshman Department.
The Sub-Freshman Department is the only preparatory school for boys connected with the university. In this department students who are not prepared for Freshman Class here or at Franklin College can !obtain from one to two years' special study under our regular professors in the several branches of study. A great many young men can not secure at home the proper high"School advantages. The Sub-Freshman Department meets this want, giving the student the necessary preparation for Freshman, with the additional advantages of military drill, the literary societies,

211
the library, and the inspiration that comes from college life. If one must leave home in order to prepare for college, the university Sub-Freshman. Department at Dahlonega is the best and cheapest school for the purpose.
Applicants must be thirteen years of age and prepared for the work indicated in class below.
COLLEGE COURSES.
The entrance requirements of Freshman Class are those of the Associated Colleges of Georgia, or an examination on the work covered by the Sub-Freshman. Class of this college. For entrance into any other class, applicants will be examined upon the work of the class below. Student must be fifteen years of age and must present a testimonial of good moral character from his latest instructor or from some reputable citizen of the 00mmunity in which he lives.
Entrance examinations will be held on 11th, 12th and 13th of September, 1901.
The college is authorized by its charter to confer degrees. The degrees conferred are those of Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Science, Bachelor of Pedagogy and Bachelor of Business Science.
Degrees are conferred and the corresponding diplomas given only to students who creditably complete the entire course prescribed for said degree, with at least the minimum record allowed in every branch, and with the approval and signature lo,f the Chancellor.
Our Bachelor of Pedagogy course is offered to those young men who desire to make teaching a profession and wish posit10ns as superintendents and principals. It is heavier than the usual normal courses, which look to rural school work.
Our Bachelor of Business Science course gives a young man a thorough busine~s education, with the culture de-

212
rived from conege work. We believe it to be valuable for those desiring more than mere technical knowledge of commercial branches. The students get the benefit of the societies and libraries and receive a good course in Englisl;t, Science and History. It is a business man's course, preparing the student to be more than a machine, to be a useful member of society by giving greater culture. If a young man or woman wishes to be trained in three months for a bo'Okkeeper or stenographer, or both, he should go else" where, but if he wishes a college training along with his technical studies, we offer him an ideal course at a minimum cost. Military drill is required of those taking this course as in other courses.
The military department is again under the command of a United States army captain.
It is justly claimed by the authorities of this College~_ not only that a military training assists the body, by straightening and hardening it, but that habits of attention and mental concentration: are developed, neatness ,order, system, punctuality are imposed, and the pupil is schooled in self-restraint, self-mastery, in prompt obedience, in submission to law and authority, and in the exercise of authority.
Many are the boys who come here with narrow chests, curved backs and rounded shoulders, with flabby muscles and careless habits, who return home with soldierly bearing, robust coostitutions and habits of neatness and gentlemanly conduct. Thousands of men all over the nation attest the value of military training while in college. The "setting up" exercises give development to' every muscle, and is continued throughout the year as a part of the military training.
The new Bostwick Hall has added very much to the efficiency of our work. It gives the college three labo'ra tories, chemical, physical and biological, and a library.

213
It also relieved the congestion in our class-room in the main building. The Board of Trustees have brought the college farm of 40 acres to a high state of cultivation, arnd are now planting a vineyard and fruit trees and beautifying the campus with a variety of trees. The farm next year will aid greatly in furnishing the dormitories with vegetables and cereals.
I feel safe in stating that the college was never so wen prepared to give thorough college training at a low cost nor enjoy more fully the confidence and patronage of the people. It will be our constant endeavor "to hold fast to what is good and make it better if we can."
Very respectfully, JOSEPH S. STEWART, President.

THE IMPROVEMENT OF OUR COMMON SCHOOLS.*
A REPORT FOR THE CONFERENCE ON EDT,JCATION AT WINSTON-SALEM, N. C., APRIL 18 AND 1~, 1901.
By Oharles W. Dabney, President, University of Tenn.
THE SOUTH WAITING FOR EDUOATION.
Everything in the South waits upon the general education of the people. Industrial development waits ior more captains of industry, superintendents of factories and skilled workmen. The natural resources of the southern States are great and varied; capital in abundance is ready for investment in them; only men are wanted who can plan, organize and direct. This is true of all our industries, even oJ our agriculture. A director of an agricultural e,xperiment station says: "We can do little more to improve the agricultural methods of the farmers until a new generation is educated, who can read our bulletins, apply scientific methods, and keep simple farm accounts."
The colleges for liberal, and institutions for scientific and technical, education, as well, wait for preparatol'y schools and high schools. With the same population th:we were during 1899 in all collegiate and graduate courses in liberal arts only 16,351 students in the Southern States against 30,741 in the North Oentral States, where they have public high schools. A system of public education is a pyramid; the primary scholOls are the foundation, the secondary schools and high schools, the normal schools, the technical schools, and the colleges carry up the structure step by step, and the university is the capstone. Our old system of education in the South, Sl(} far as we had any,
*.This paper is published by request of the Winston Conference.

215
was a GTeek column; the university was a beautifully carved capitol of classic design, supported by a slem.der column of literary 'colleges andaeademies, which stood upon a narrow and unsubstantial base of private schools.
Good government in town and State and intelligent action in national affairs are impassible without educated voters. Pettifogging politicians, selfish demagogues, and corrupt lobbyists will continue to control our legislative and county governments until a majority of the vo,ters can read and think for themselves. The republic must have an educated' citizenship or go down. The question of educating all the people is morr'e critically important to the South than it is to the remainder of the nation. We must educate all our people, blacks as well as whites, or the South will become a dependent province instead of coordinate portion of the nation, What, for example, is the cause of the present complete isolation, of the almost entire exclusion from the councils ocE the nation, of a dozen, States which for a long time supplied a majority o the statesmen who directed the affairs of this country, unless it is the political ignorance of their sucessors, illustrated persistently by the pursuit of absurd financial theories, and antiquated political hobbies? The only remedy for the political situation in the South is to be found in public education.
Even religion waits 'upon general education. How else can we interpret the action of our enlightened and progressive churches, many of which are now actively at work raising their twentieth century educational funds? Evidently, they think that the further extension, purification, and strengthening of religion in the South depends also on general education.
This study was undertaken out o a desire to get a true conception of the condition of the publiic schools in the South, which might be the starting point for efforts at improving them. The writer sincerely hopes that no one will

216
think, because he has tried to tell the truth as he sees it, that he takes a peSSlimistic or despruiring view of the situation. In most aspects the situation of the public schools in the South is indeed a sad one. It is not proposed to discuss at length here the origin or the causes of this state of tillings, for every olJ1e who knows our history understands them already.
THE EFFEOTS OF WAR AND REOONSTRUOTION.
The South emerged from the Oivil War thirty-13ix years ago, -having lost one~tenth of all her white males and three billions of property, which was nearly all her aCr cumulated capital. Reconstruction was even more desolating than war. The spoilers not only stole eve.rything that war had left, but, as Judge Jeremiah S. Black has said, "by their devilish ingenuity they succeeded in running their felonious fingers into the pockets of posterity." They not only looted the treasuries, squandered the school funds, and raised the taxes so high that a general system of confiscation ensued, but, in rt'heir insatiable lust, plaeoo bonded debts upon the Southern States aggregating oveT' $300,000,000. A debt was piled upon the State of North Oar(}lina, for example, amounting to $38,000,000, which was nearly one-third as much as the total valuation of all its property; upon Alabama they put a debt amolUnting to over $18,000,000; upon Tennessee one of oveil' $14,000,000. They squandered $140,000,000 for Louisiana and increased her debt to $40,000,000!
But why do I recount these awful things? SiII1p:ty to explain once for all at the opening otf this paper why Southern people have not actually done more for public schools, and especially why they hate all tax-gatherers and distrust all schemes for the "public welfare," which they understand to mean for the private gain of the s~hemers. This experience explains our preeent naITOiW constitutions,

217
which render it almost impossible to have efficient schools. It explains the intense devotion of. southerners "to the laissez laire theory of politics, allld their radicalapplicationsoLf. the principle of local self-government. It explains also much of their opposition to public schools, which seemed to them to be inconsistent Wlith their theory of individualism.
But the southern people are too brave and energetic a race to live forever in the shadow of a great sorrow, and under the burden of a great wrong. 'The restoration and re~ cuperation have been rapid; there never was anything like it. The census of 1880 showed that the South had gained nearly $5,000,000,000 in the assessment orf property; in the next.ten years she gained 50 per oent. more, against 22 per cent. in New England and in the Middle States. Since 1880 the production of cotton has doubled and the manufactures of all kinds have been more than quadrupled. The capital invested in cotton manufacturing has increased twelvefold in ten years. Thirty thousand miles of railroads have been bllilt in fifteen years, amd over $1,000,000,000 expended upon them. The coal products have increased fivefold and the production of pig-iron has increased from 400,000 tons to over 200,000,000 tons. These figures are olllly polinters; the progress has been equally great along all other lines. The southern people are now able to have better schools.
Believing that the soruthffi'l11 people have at last overcome most of the financial and poEtical results of war and reconstruction, I hold that the time has come when we must begJin seriously upon the work of reconstructing southern societty in all its departments, and that the first thling to do is to establish schools for all the people. God knows we remember the past, even those of us who were nothing but children remember it, and we would not forget or have our children forget any of the lessons of those days, and least

218
()If all the inspiring examples of their heroic grandfathers; but our faces are toward ,the future, and rin preparation for the work of rebuilding our institutions it is ow duty to study the facts as they are, blinking nothing of the truth, however unpleasant. Some politicians may find it desirable to flatter the people and to try to make them feel as comfortable as pOSl'lible in their present position, but aU thinking southerners know that our public schools are a disgrace and such persons demand the truth, and will be grad to learn how to make them better.
THE OOUNTRY SOHOOLS.
The South is an agricultural section. Its people live in the country and work in the country; they must thereftwe be educated in the country. In most respects this is a happy condition, but in order to realize all the blessings of rural life we must have good schools in the 0olUntry. My investigation and discussion will therefore be chiefly confined to the country schools, the free schools for the masses orE the people.
In the old South the better country neighbOrrhoods had many excel1ent private schools, which educated the children of the wealthrier families in c1assics and literature and trained a race of men and women who have not been surpased in any age or land. But these schools, which were never general, have noiW drisappeared almost entirely; and at present in the country districts of the South we have just enough public schools to destroy completely the private schools.
Let us seek first to get a general view of these country schools and to learn what progress, if any, has been made in the last quarter of a century. Table No. 1 contains a sta,tement, compiled from data suppl,ied by the commissioner of education, showing the cO'll.dition of the public schools

219
in the former slave States, from Delaware to Texas, and including Missouri and Arkansas, in the years 1875, 1885, 1895, and 1900. Between 1875 and 1900 the population increased from 16,000,000 to 27,000,000. Teachers are twice as numerous as iillJ 1875, females having ine;reased far mo~ rapidly than males. There are also nearly twice as many schoolhouses in 1900 as there were in 1875. The value of school property has been nearly quadrupled. The average value of property per school has been nearly doubled. Here is some progress, but we should remember that it is progress frorm a condition in 1875 of almost nothing. The average number of days the schools are kept has increased but Httl&-from 93 to 109.6. The average annual pay of teachers has decreased from $175 in 1875 to $158.75 iin 1900. The total expenditures have been doubled, .but the amount" expended per capita, which was 81 cents in 1875, tiE only $1.34 in 1900, and the amount expended per pupil enrolled has increased only 12 per cent. in twenty-five years, $8.56 to $9.72.
We find thus, that while the schools and the school teachers have multiplied, it has not been in proportion to the enrollment. Much money has been invested in school property, but the compensation of teachel1s has diminished, and the amount expended per capita is still pitifully low.. Worst of all, the schools are still open, upon the average, only five months in the year. Should not the people of the South ask themselves seriously whether they have made the same progress with the sChools that they have in other respects? Have they done all they could for the schools?
OOMPARED WITH NORTH OENTRAL STATES.
Compare wiith this the siituation in the North Oentral States (Ohio to Kansas, Nebraska and South and North Dakota) in 1900. These States contain a million fewer

~20
'people, but had the same number of children enrolled in the schools. Tile percentage of the school populatirOiIl in" average daily attendance is 52.50 in the North Central States as against 40.32 in the Southern States; the total number of teachers is 181,916 against 127,577; the nnmbel' of schoolhouses is 105,118 to 96,849; but the value o( school property 1S $230,391,589 to $67,473,856. The average number or{ days schools are taught is 155.6 in the :North Central States to 109.6 in the Southern Statesl the average salary of teachers per month is $43 to $31.75; the total expenditures in the North Central States are $84,802,319 to $36,280,166 in the Southern States; which is $3.23 per capita of the population, or $20.85 per pupil in attendance in theNorth Central States against $1.34 per capita of population and $9.72 per pupil in attendance in the Southern States. We should remember :that the Southem States include a population of over 7,000,000 negroes and were devastated thirty-six years ago by a terrible war. The comparison is not perfectly fair-few comparisons are-but it shows what this population can do and what the re8ults in wealth productions are, and sets a standard towards which the Southern, States ,sholUld strive to build up.
CONDITIONS IN TYPIOAL ST'ATES.
Table 1 does !!lot, however, give us a correct view of the :Situation in that portion orf the South in which we are par-ticularly interested, namely, the Central, Southern and Gulf States. In this table are included statistics for the border States of Delaware, the District of Columbia, Maryland, Virginia, Kentucky, and MliBoolUri, in which the conclitions are much better than in the other Southern States. These States bring up the average very: much. For this reason I have prepared, after the same plan, a second

221
table, based up'on the 'latest information obtainable from ~ the State superintendents' report of North Caroli~a, Georgia, Alabama, and Tennessee, which are typical Southern States. The reader is invited to examine it very caretfully~ From the standpoint of the school-man the situation is sad: beyond expression. In North Carolina only 30 per cent. of the children are in dwly attendance upon the schools; less than 60 per cent. are enrolled in them; and the annual school term is less than 71 days. There are in North Carolina, on the average, 65 enrolled pupils to each school and' 54 to each teacher. The schoolhouse which is supposed" to shelter the children is valued at $179.60, and the teacher who has charge (lcf them receives $23.36 a month for 70.8 days, or about $77 for the term. The amount expended per year per pupil in attendance is but $4.34, wmch is only 51 cents per capita. In Tennessee less thanhalf of the children between five and eighteen years of age are in daily attendance; only 70 per cent. are enroIIed ill' the schools; the school term is only 96 days; and the enrolled pupils attend an average (lrf only 63 days in the' year. In Tennessee they are taught in a schoolhouse' which cost $426, by teachers who receive an annual salary of $134. The total expense per pupil is $5.17 a year, which is only 87 cents per capita.
TENNESSEE AND lOWA COMPARED.
In Table 2, by the side of the figures for Tennessee, I have placed the figures for Iowa in 1899. The comparison is not perfectly fair, but it will be well to see what another' younger State of about the same population is doling for its schools. This State contains a slightly larger population than Tennessee, but somewhat fewer children. The enrollment in the schools in Iowa is 87.5 per cent. of the school population, against 70.1 per cent. in Tennessee. Ill> Io~~

222
57.3 per cent. of the school population are in daily attendence,against 49 per cent. in Tennessee. Teachers number 28,694 in Iowa, tOi 9,195 in Tennessoo; the schoolhouses are 13,836 to 7,185; the value of school property is $16,908,076 to $3,063,568. The average value of school property is $1,222 in Iowa to $426 in Tennessee. The average number of days the schools are kept is 158 in IOiWll to 96 in Tennessee. The average teacher's salary is $45 in Iowa to $31 in Tennessee, and there are three times as many teachers in Iowa. The total expend>itures are $7,978,060 in Iowa and $1,751,047 in Tennessee. This is $3.80 per capita of populati<m Or $21.89 per pupil in attendance in Iowa, against 87 cents per capita of populatiolll or $5.17 per pupil in Tennessee. The total real and personal property per capita, according to the census of 1890, was $1,196 in Iowa and $502 in Tennessee. Can we not quite fairly say that this is due in great part to the difference in the public schoOlls?
THE PENALTY OF POVERTY.
The stranger is astounded at this statement of facts. Why is it that a good brave people tolerate such a condition of things? The explanation is found in the figures at the bottom of the table. The Southern States are only sparsely settled after all; in 1900 North Carolina had only 39, Georgia 37.5, Alabama 35.4, and Tennessee only 48.4 persons to the square mile. The roads are poor, with the result that in many sections the children cannot get t.cJ' schools. But this is not the true explanation; the poverty of the people .is the immediate cause why the schools are so poor. The total real and personal property per capita returned to the census of 1890 was $361 in North Carolina, $464: in GeoTgia, $412 in Alabama, and $502 in Tennessee; and this is far in excess of the taxable values.

223

In Tennessee, for example, the taxa:ble values in. 1900 amounte~ to only $266.66 per capita. Tennessee is prop-

erly consIdered one of the richest Southern States but the

total valuation of all her real and personal propert; for the

purposes

of taxation in 1900 was only $472,000"000

,o~ ....

deducting raill'lolads, telegraphs, telephones ,and such prop-

erty, only $260,000,000. The total State tax on real prop-

erty yielded in 1900 net of expenses, only $1,000,000;

the tot.al recetipts from all sources were only $6,120,000.

The total indebtedness of Tennessee is nearly $17,000,000

and the interest about $700,000 per annum. No wonder

that its total expenditures '0[' public schools were only

$1,751,047 !

EDUCATION AND CRIME.
Our Southern States have still to learn that education is the chief concern of a people, and that the first duty of the State is to provide schools for all of its children. The buffiness man on scanning the ledgers of these States w1ould, however, be bound to declare that their chief concern is not education; but criminal prosecutio'ns. In the year 1895, for example, the county of Knox, in Tennessee, paid $37,000 to prosecute 2,668 mootly petty criminal cases; and in addition to this the State paid $17,000 toward the same prosecutions, making a total of $54,000, or $20.35 a case. This was simply the cost of prosecution; it did not include the cost of supporting the convicted criminals in prisorns. There were 2,668 prosecutions in a population of 74,000, or about one in 24. Among the people in our jails are eight illiterates to one who can read and write. In our penitentiaries there are six illiteraMs to one
who can read and write. Now lOme half of the people prosecuted in Knox county were of school age. One-half the cost of prosecuting these cases would have sent nearly

224
10,000 children to school for the full annual Tennessee term. Can we doubt that if this money had been expended Tor the education of the people we should not have had to send them to ja:ils and penitentiaries? Since certain re,forms in the methods of criminal prosecutions and the establishment of an industrial school, matterrs are muclL better in this county.
THE WASTE OF IGNORANCE.
The Southern people are poor-many of them are extremely poor. Their schools are poor because they are" poorr; but the converse is equally true-the people are poor because the schools are poor. The relations between the opportunities for education and the production of wealth are IlI01W so well understood that we can measm"e the wealth-earning power of a people by the school privileges which they enjoy. Statistics show that the power of a people to earn money is in direct proportion tal the length of the period the average citizen has attended school. To paraphrase Dr. Curry, the secre,tary of the Peabody Board, a people's poverty is the most unanswerable argument for the expenCLiture of any amount of money necessary to give them good schools, for the right kind of schools are the only remedy for poverty, a:s well as crime. The Southern people are too poor to affolJ.'d the wastes of ignorance. If they spent morre money for education they would not only save much in criminal prosecution, but would tincrease enormously their earning power.
WHAT THE SCHOOLS ARE NOW DOING.
So far we have considetred only the general conditions of the Southern schools. Figures expressing totals and averages cannot, however, tell the whole story. They are

225
like the numbers standing for the pulse-beat, the respiration, and the proportion of red corpuscles in the patient's blood; they give only a general idea of the condition of the sick man. Before we can diagnose the disease we must study his nature carefully and observe his symptoms closely. Let us, therefore, seek next to ascertain what the public schools of the South actually are, and what they are really accomplishing. I will use the schools in Tennessee to illustrate' the results of their work.
In 1900 there were in Tennessee 7,185 public schools, with 9,195 teachers, and 485,354 pupils enrolled. The total enrollment in the different grades was as follows: First grade, 119',000; second grade, 78,000; third grade, 70,000; fourth grade, 67,000; fifth grade, 49,000; sixth grade,17,000; seventh grade, 11,000; and eighth grade, 7,000. The large dropping off after the fifth grade is d]1e to the fact that the ordinary primary schools have only five grades and the three additional ones have to be provided by special local taxation, which is optional. As a result, only one school in ten has the three additional grade'tl. There appears to be no way of' finding out how many pupils complete the course. Engraved certificates are issued to pupils who complete the fifth and to those who complete the eighth grades. These are sent out from the State Superintendent's office gratis upon request, but his records show that during the year 1900 only 1,959 diplomas were issued for the fifth grade and 679 fo; the eighth grade. More pupils, doubtless, completed these grades, but there is no record of it. In any case, we know that only one-tenth 01 the enrolled pupils evelr reach the beginning of the fifth grade, and only one in seventy Teaches the eighth grade.

HOW WE EDUCATE A CITIZEN.
Enrollments are a1so reported by subjects. Taking e1e' mentary algebra as a test subject, we find that only 16,00cr were enrolled in that; in "higher English," a sixth to eighth grade study, only 11,400 were enrolled. The facts all go to show that the children do, not stay in the schools. An easy calculation leads us to the conclusion that the average citizen of Tennessee gets less than three years of this kind of schooling in his entire life. In a similar manner it may be shown that the average citizen of North Carolina gets only about 2.6 years, and of Alabama 2.4 years of public school training. 'phis is the way we are educating the citizens of the republic-the voters who are to help to determine the destinies, not only of this people, but of millions of others beyond the seas. Have we not missionary work enough to do here at our own doors without going to, Cuba, Porto Rico, or the Philippines to find it?
CO:YIPULSORY ATTENDAXCE.
According to the latest report of the Commission of Education, thirty-two States and territories, containing 64 per cent. of the population of the country, have laws requiring school attendance, for from eight weeks to the full term, fm' an average period of eight years. England, Scotland, Canada, and nearly all the British colonies; France, Austro~Hungary, Switzerland, Italy, and Germany all require fr!0111 four to ten months each year for a like period. So fal' no Southern States except Kentucky and Viest Virginia have compulsory attendance laws. Some interest as, however, arising in the question in other States. The subject is being discussed in X orth Carolina a,nd in Ternnessee and the general assemblies of three States have been requested to enact compulsory attendance laws. In N'orth Cal-oEna, out of 700 farmers, manu-

227
acturers, and laborers, who replied to an inquiry sent out by the commissioner of labor, 564 favored such a law. One thing ;is certain, ninety days' school with an average attendance of only 30 to 40 per cent. of the school population will never educate the people. vVe must put all the children in.school, but before we do this we must have the schoo,ls and teachers.
The laws designed to disfranchise illiterate whites and blacks are likely to have a beneficient influence upon the educational ,situation in the South. Such laws, if impar-tially drawn and fairly carried out, will do almost as much good in promoting the elementary education of males, at least, as compulsory laws. The uneducated people of the Southern States, both whites and blacks, esteem their ballot to a degree that is almost ridiculous. In States like S orth Carolina, where the educa;tional qualification has heen applied, the colored peoplo are already showing an earnest desire to get the little education required to qualify voters. But these laws, even at hest, touch only onechalf the population. The only perfect solution of the problem is compulsory attendance law, carefully designed to reach every healthy child.
THE SECONDARY SCHOOLS.
ltfany of the cities and towns have good high schools, but there are no public secondary schools, properly speaking, in the country districts of the South. Two years ago in Tennessee a law was passed allo\,~ing counties to levy a special tax for high schools. So far as I know, however, J\lO't a single one has been organized. Mississippi is more fortunate. As the result of an act passed in 1899, one high school has been organized in Jefferson and funds amounting to $6,000 have been provided, in part by the State and in part by county taxation. There are eight

228
teachers; the principal's salary is $1,200; the other teachHrS average $450. At the beginning of the second year there were 170 pupils. The scho'ol prepares its students for the State university. Here is a successful experiment worthy of imitation by all rural communities in which
there is population and wealth sufficient to. support a
high school.
TEACHERS AND THEIR PAY.
There is 0 ' course small opportunity in the country fOl' the professional teacher or even the habitual teacher. Who is going to prepare himself to teach for the pitiful salary of from $23 to $31 a month for five months only in the year; or who that can do anything else is going to continue at this very long ~ Of what use are normal schools until teachers are paid living salaries ~ The result is that the country schools have to employ "makeshift" teachers, the majority of them inexperienced young people, who have had no training beyond what these schools themselves give and who use the school only as a stepping-stone to something bettor. The young man wants to earn a little money to pay his way at a business college; the girl to earn something to suppor,t her in a seminary for a few months. Too often the teacher is some director'8 dependent sister-inlaw or aunt, or some male ne'er do-well who must be kept out of the poorhouse. :The best teache,rs are the farmer's boys and girls who teach during the fall and winter and work during the spring and summer. There is of course no prospect of improving this condition until better salaries .are provided.
THE COURSES OF STUDY.
Extensive courses of study are proposed for the schools in the laws of all the States. Here is the Tennessee course: "There shall be two classes orf district schools, designated

229
respectively primary schools and secondary schools" (the primary schools cover five, the secondary schools three, years). "In every primary scho'Ol shall be taught orthography, reading, writing, arithmetic, grammar, geography, history of Tennessee, history of the United States, including the constitution; vocal music and elocution may be taught; and no other branches shall be introduced, except physiology and hygiene with special reference t,O' the effect of alcoholic drinks and narcotics and cigarette smoking. The directors of each school district may establish therein one or more secondary schools, in which shall be taught the following branches: orthography, reading, writing, arithmetic, grammar, geography, history of Tennessee, history of the United States, including the constitution, and the elementary sciences ,of geology and agriculture, and elements of algebra, plane geometry, natural philosophy, bookkeeping, physiology and hygiene, civil government, and rhetoric. Practice shall be given in elocution. Vocal music may be taught." This is a rail' sample of what is undertaken in the country schools of the South. All that is proposed to be done in eight short years of four or five months each, by a teacher who receives $31 a month and at a total annual expendituro of $5.17 per pupil. Of course it is Ha't done; it cannot be done. As a matter of fact, teachers usually teach whatever they choose or whatever they fancy themselves best fitted to teach. In the almost total absence of expert supervision they do what they please. Perhaps half do the best they can; the other half "keep school." Thus it is the courses of study are chaos.
INDUSTRIAL EDUOATION THE BEST REMEDY.
The schools are veq imperfectly graded, if at all, and the most antiquated methods are in use. The traditions are all those of the old-fashioned literary teacher, with the result that the idolatry of books is the bane of all the

230
schools. Twenty millions ort people engaged chiefly in rearing plants and animals, and almost nothing taught in Our rural schools in regard to plant and animal life! Several of the States require that "scientific agriculture" shall be taught, but for the want of competent teachern very little is done with either nature study or science.
One hears a great deal in the South about natural reSOurces and their development. Shall we not realize that our great resources-our soils, minerals, and timbers-are useless in the hands of a~n untrained people? vVe should recognize that our children are our greatest resource, and that the first thing to do is to train them in natural science and the industrial arts, so that they may utilize these resources. N early all the' arts and and industries were represented upon the old time Southern Plantation. The tannery and the shoeshop, the corn and flourmills, the spinning and weaving 'houses, the cooper and blacksmith shops, were the technical schools of the people in those days. In these home factories both the white and the colored youth learned many of the arts. Now the manufactures are all cO'llcentrated in the cities, with the result that the young grow up ignorant of all industrial arts except the cruder proce8Ses of carpentering and agriculture. VV81 mu&t make money before we can even have schools, and the very first thing is t,o' train our people to produce. The book education we give them leads too many away from the industries in which they mnst make their living into profess,ions already crowded. 110l'O'o'Ver, if we do not educate our own people to use these resources intelligently, the skilled men 0' other States will come in and do so, and make our native population the "hewers of wood and drawells of water" in their industries. 'Ve shall then be reduced to an industrial dependency even worse than ,our present political and commercial dependency.

231
The improvement of the public schools of the South will come through industnial dl?velopment. Of all peoples in the world, therefore, we need industrial education, but before we can have it there must be a complete revolution in methods. Book-teaching must be replaced in large part by nature study, and simple industrial arts must be introduced in all public schools. It will be excoodingly difficult, however, to do this. The people are by uature very ,conservative; the normal schools, colleges, and universities are still devoted chiefly to literary work, and turn out few teachers of science and none of manual training. The revolution must begin, therefore, in the higher institutions, in the normal schools and colleges. They must be largely remodeled before we can even begin to educate the kind of public school teachers we need to make the new schools.
EXPERT SUPERVISION NEEDED FOR THE COUNTRY DISTRICTS.
Expert supervision is almost wholly wanting m the country districts, and this trouble seems, un!fortunately, to be inherent in our system of government. In the Southern States either the county or the district is a unit of scl1Oo'l government. ' The county is the< unit in North Carolina; the district is the unit in Tennessee. The trouble is the same in both cases; the intelligent, educated poeple are rarely permitted to direct the schools. The school directors are elected either by the people or by the county cOlInmissioners. In very few of the States have the State boards or State or county superintendents any adequate authority over the school directors or county supervisors. Elected usually for the purpose lof securing the appointmen:t of certain persons to be teachers, to award a contract to build a schoolhouse, or for some other selfish pur, pose, the school directors are rarely the best men for these

232
positions. The laws make no requirements as to their qualifications beyond reading and writing, and frequently they are entirely incompetent. Too often they are elected for political reasons and seek to use their positions to' further the interest orf some county clique. To illustrate, a certain school director closed a school suddenly in the middle of the term to punish an assistant teacher for voting against his faction. The teachers sued the directors personally for the balance of their salaries and won their case in the courts, but all the directors proved insolvent and the recoveries had to be made out of the school fund. A serious abuse is the division of districts and the multiplication of small schools. The motive of this is to meet the convenience ,0 influential people, to make new salaries, or sometimes to sell a lot and build a new schoolhouse. In some States the investments in school property are out of proportiorn to the funds expended for the other purposes of t,he schools. In Tennessee, for example, there are 3,081 school distrids with 7,813 schools, or an average of 2 2-3 schools to each district. In these 7,813 schools there are only 9,195 teachers, or 34 enrolled pupils to each teacher. This division of money and forces where so little is provided is worse than folly-it is a crime. In the more intelligent communities a reaction has already begun, with the result that the people are asking to have the schoo1& consolidated. 'With the establishment of good roads it will be possible tiO' convey children to school at public expense and to consolidate them still further.
THE OOUNTY SUPERINTENDENT.
The county superintendent is elected either by the people of the county, ,the county supervisors (in North Oarolina), or the county court (inTennessee). The county court, made up of magistrates elected from the different

233
districts, is a miniature legislature, and is usually made up of local politicians. This court divides the countv
into school districts and levies and <lli,tributes the loc~l
tax, and is thus responsible for the success or failure of the schools. They are generally treated as of minor interest, the most important things being the court-house offices, the "pickings" in the magistrates' courts, and the jobs in public works-bridges, roads, etc.
The trouble about the county superintendent is threefold. Tho first trollble is the method of his election. Tho Tennessee law says he must be a "pemon of literary and scientific attainments, and, when practicable, of skill and experience in tho art of teaching," and provides for his examination by a committee o citizens; but, as the county court elects him, no Ivay has been found to enforce even these limited requirements, with the result that the place usually gOies to some political striker, briefless young lawyer, broken down preacher, or other person incompetent to oarn in any other way the average Tennessee superintendent's salary of $296 a year. There, of course, are exceptions. A few counties pay betters salaries and command the services of better men.
The Isecond trouble is that the tenure of office is short and uncertain. If we once get a capable and faithful officer it is almost certain that just when he begins to develop some efficiency he is compelled to abandon the management to one to whom the whole business is entirely new. The rule "ho has served his two terms" usually applie1s here as ti(j other county offices. If the superintendent is an honest and independent man and insists on weeding out the :incompetent teachers, he is almost certain to make himself unpopular and to lose his position to a more complacent competitor.
The third difficulty is the small salary. In South Carolina the average superintendent's salary is $423, in Ten-

234
nessee it is $296. One thousand dollars ]s about the largest salary paid in any county not containing a large town.. These are the men who hold examinations and issue certificates to teachers. One may judge how people regard their scho01s when salaries like these are paid to the men who should be responsible for them.
STATE SUPERINTENDENT OF PUBLIO INSTRUOTION.
The state superintendent of public instruction is elected by the people, or the legislature, or appointed by the govornCll'. In nearly all cases he is more or less involved in po,Litics. A few States have State boards of education, but they can do very little under this system of local government. A State superintendent appointed by the governor is apt to be a politician and his chief e,nergies to be devoted to advancing the interest of his party. Election by the people has given us some 1of our best superintendents, and is the plan to be preferred until we have properly constituted boards of education to elect them.
The people 0' the South have still to reach a just conception of the impo:rtance of thi!3 office. It is usually treated as if it were one of the least important offices in the State and has attached to it oncorf the smalleilt salaries. A State educational system is, or should be, a great business, and the State superintendency calls for a skillful business man a,s well as a learned educator. The man who fills this office should be competent to direct county superintendents, principals of city schools, local boards of education, and school directors; advise the legislature about fchool taxation and legislation; and secure and, distribute adequate appropriations; he should, in short, be to the State System what a president is to a great universiiy or a bishop tiO' a diocese of the church.

235
THE CURSE OF POLITICS.
The great curse of our public educat.ional system, as of most things in our States, is politics. From the school directors up to the State superintendent polit.ics is the blight of our scho'ol administration. Listen to these words from a former superintendent of public instruction of North Carolina. Speaking 01 the county superintendents, he says: "vVhy have not the men best qualified to fill these positions been elected in every county in North Carolina? I am sorry to tell you why, should you not already know, but I will do it. Politics was the cause" and is the cause to-day." He continues: "The public schools have been in the galling grasp of the court-house politicians for twenty years. The county supervisor owes his election both directly and indirectly to the oonnty officers. They are the men he is supposed to serve; they are the men to whom he must render an account of his stewardship. Away with such! I.et us break away from this court-house 'ring business." Brave man! vVould there were mom like him.
At the bottom ,olf it all is the want of sorious interest in the public schools among the body of voters. vVhen the people realize their value they will be ready to give money to support them and to see to it that they are administered by competent and faithful men.
SIGNS OF AWAKENING.
Are there no signs of an awakening? I am glad to say that there are many. Some of the States still seem dead in politics and ignorance, but in others the people are awakening to a realization of the inadequacy of existing schools for the work that belongs to them. The; private schools and the city schools have taught the people what might be done. :Ministers and professional men, and especially the teachers educated in the colleges and the nor-

236
mal schools, are preaching the gospel of public education, with the result that there is a pervading Se'Ilse of discontent with the present conditions. It is true that this discontent is still vague, that the discussions of these subjects are often unintelligent, and ,the efforts at improvement crude and ineffective. But the hopeful sign is that the intmest of the people has been aroused. Even where they are still under the dark cloud of ignorance we hear subdued mutterings which indicate an early breaking away from the old ways. Some of our State superintendents are striving faithfully t10 awaken the legislatures to their duty. The reports of Commissioner G. R. Glenn of Georgia; of Superintendent C. H. J\Iebane, of North Carolina (1896 to 1898), and of Superintendent John J. J\1:cMahon, of South Carolina (1899 and 1900), contain forcible statements of facts and eloquent pleas for better schools. Some of our public men are taking up the school que8tion as the chid issue. Hear, for example, these bi'ave words from the inaugural address of the governor of North Carolina. Speaking of his promise to the people in the campaign, Governor Aycock said:
"I promised the illiterate poor man, bound to a life of toil and struggle and poverty, that life should be brighter for his boy and girl than it had been for him and the partner of his sorrows and joys. I pledged the wealth ,of the State to the education of his children. Men of wealth, representatives of great corporations, applauded eagerly my declaration. I have found no man whO' is unwilling to make the State stronger and better by liberal aid to the cause of education. Gentlemen of the General Assembly, you will not have aught to ,fear when you make ample provision for the educat~on of the whole people. Rich and poor alike are bound by promise and necessity to approve your utmost efforts in this direction. The platforms of all the parties declare in favor of a liberal policy towards the

237
education of the masses." A.nd concluding, he says: "The problems before us are of the gravest nature, but amoog them all there is none that can approach in importance the necessity for making ample provision for the educat~()1JJ. of the whole people."
THE DIFFICULTIES IN THE W A.Y OF IMPROVEMENT.
The difficulties in the way of improvement of the public schools are that deadening indifference which grows out of ignorance and that pitiful poverty whi~h always accompanies it. The southern people who commenced thirty years ago by opposing, or at least doubting free public schools, have generally come to recognize their necessity, but they do not yet know how to organize them, nor have they the means to support them. They still need to be educated about the benefits, especially the eco'll'otrnic and moral results, 0' public education.
There are many constitutional and legal difficulties in the way of the organization of anything like a thorough system of public scllOioils in most of the Southern States. As pointed out above, the government and direction of the schools is left, in the majority of our States, entirely to either the school directors, the county superrintendent, or the county supervisors, without any efficient supervision whatever and very little assistance of any kind. Better supervision is absolutely necessary, but unfortunately cannot be provided under the constitutions of many of the States. Foil' example, it has been decided by the courts in Tennessee that the county superintendnnt must be elected either by the people of the county or by the magistrates, without let or hinderance from any State authority.
In the second place we leave it to the people of the rural districts and counties tOI raise nearly all of the school

238
money. In a majority 0' the States the counties are required to levy a certain per cent. upon real and personal property, but where they have very little property the fund produced is exceedingly small. In some cases the people are allowed to make an additiotnal levy i'i' they choose to do so, the total taxes not to exceed a fixed amount. In South Carolina, for example, the constitution authorizes a three-mill tax 10m property. But what good does this do where the people have no property? In one district of Aiken county the superintendent tells us the three-mill tax raised only $18, and in a district in Dorchester county it produced only $32; while in a district in Denmark county, a fairly wealthy one, the same tax produced $1,195. A majority 0' the States levy no general State tax, or a very small one for public schools. In Tennessee, for example, the total State fund distributed to the counties for public schools amounted last year to only $129,000. Such guvernments exeuse themselves from making State levies for the schools on the ground that if the people want the schools they can provide ::0:1' them by local taxation. So it is that we leave ignorance to direct the schools and poverty to tax itself to support them. The States supply neither adequate funds nOIf direction fO'r the schools. \Vhero education is most needed is just where the people do not appreciate it and will not exert themselves to' provide it. It cannot be expected that a poor people will tax themselves for schools or that an ignoirant people will knmv how to organize and direct them. \Ve have yet to learn in the South that the State is the unit 0' edueation and must provide for its weakest members. The wealth of the counky must educate its poor; the intelligence of the State must direct the schools.

239
THE WAY TO IMPROVEMENT.
Our system of school legislation and management, and our methods of school taxation, must be completely turned round before we can have anything like a system (If efficient public schools. The school money must be raised to a larger extent from the State as a whole, and be distributed more in accordence with the needs O'f the people. School management and supervision must be centralized, to a considerable degree, in the hands of representative and skilled experts. There should be a State board of education composed of the ablest educational authorities to be f'ound, who should be responsible for all the public schools and should elect a State superintendent who should in turn have the fulle;;;t authority with regard to the organization of schools, examination o,f teachers, courses of study and the distribution of funds, and have the general direction of county and city superintendents. The schools rorf the counties and the towns should be in the hanc1s of boards of like powers working under the general direction of the State board and its superintendent. "Vho would think of cal7ying on any great business, reaching every part of the
State, by the worthless methods, or no methCYds, which prevail in the South in regard to our schools? We must have a thoroughgoing reform in these thing;;; before we can even begin to build good schools.
WHAT THE LEADER.S OAN DO.
The immcdiato nced of our people is information and guidance. They need leader;;; to show them the way. "Ve need a central propaganda or agency which shall conduct a campaign of education for free public education, and
which, while it edifies the people on this subject, shall use
every opportunity to instruct them as to the best forms of leO'islation for their conditions and the best methods of or
b

240
ganization for their schools. This is, then, the definite proposal that I would make to this Conference. Shall we not at this meeting take steps to establish such a propaganda for free public schools in the South?
THE NEGRO IN THE SOHOOLS.
The end of this paper has been reached and I have said nothing about the negro in the schools. We should consider the negro as a man to be educated for work, independence, and citizenship like other men. Everything I have said applies to him, therefore, just as it does to the white man. The negro is in the South to stay-he is a necessity for southern industries-and the southern people must educate and so elevate him or he will drag them down. The human race is an organism, an its members being bound together by natural affinities and ministering to eaDh other by natural law. If history, philosophy, and. revelation teach us anything, it is the solidarity of mankind, that "no man liveth to himself" and "no man dieth to himself," but that we are each "his brothm's keeper."
I plead for justice and common 'sense 'in the education of the negro. The most encouraging thing about public education in the South is the noble,seH-sacrificing way in which the Southern people have given of their limitpd reo sources for the educat,ion of their recent slaves. That they will continue to do for the black man all that their meaJ(s will permit, I rmly believe. These attacks upon the negro school fund, these proposals to give him for his schools only what he pays in himself, come from short_sighted people who fail to recognize the basal principle underlying all public education, namely, the duty of all the people to educate all the people. They do not reprE';sent the opiL.ion of the best people of the South and their proposals will not prevail. The people of the South realize already that this

241
proposal is not primarily an assault upon the black man, but a movement to undermine, the foundation of the country's prosperity, progress, and peace. We cannot longerr take the risks of multitudes of ignorant voters controlled by a few wicked demagogues.
But we must use common sense in the educ'ation of the negro. We must recognize in all its relations that momentous fact that the negro is a child-race, at least two thousand years behind the Anglo-Saxon in its development, and that like all o,ther races he must work out his own salvation by practicing the industrial arts, and becoming independent and self-supporting. Nothing is more ridiculous than the program of the good religious people from the North who insist upon teaching Latin, Greek, and philosophy to the negro boys who come to their schook Many of our Southern States make a similar mistake in trying to enforce in the schools of the black districts 00rurses of study laid down for whites. A Philadelphia lady at work in the South entered her protest recently against requiring the negro children of the Sea Islands of South Carolina, one of the most backward populations in the South, to study Coleridge and Shakespeare, physiology and hygiene, when t,hey scarcely knew how to read. She reports that in this county, where efficient negro teachers cannot be found to teach reading, arithmetic, elementary history, and geography, willing persons are denied license because they cannot pass the State examination in "technical grammar" and the "history of South Carolina." She is right. Let us adapt our instruction to the needs of the people, and,above all things, let us give them that industrial training which will prepare them to be self-supporting citizens. General Armstrong, 0 1 Hampton, and Principal Washington, of Tuscegee, have worked out a sensible plan '01" the education of the negro. Our State schooh for this

242
race should be modeled after their plan. The only solution of the Southern problem is free public schools for all the people, blacks and whites alike, and compulsory laws.
