OFFICE STATE SCHOOL OOMMISSIONER,
Atlanta, Ga., October 1, 1902.
His Excellency, A. D. Oandler:
I have the honor to submit herewith the thirtieth annual report from the Department of Education of the State of Georgia. .
I trust your Excellency will examine carefully the matters herein embodied and make such reoommen:dation in your annual message to the Legislature as the importance of the subject seems to justify.
With high regards, I am Yours very truly, G. R. GLENN, State School Oommisrsioner.

THE THIRTIETH ANNUAL REPORT
FROM THE
DEPARTMENT' OF EDUCATION
TO THE
GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE STATE OF GEORGIA.
Gentlemen of the General Assembly:
I give below a summary of the statistics prepared fm the members of the House and Senate. I beg to call your especial attention to some of these figures.
'The enrollment for the country schools in 1894 was 377,571; the enrollment for the last year for the same schools was 439,645. '1.'he enrollment for the city schools in 1894 was 51,925 ; the enrollment for the city schools for last year was 63,242. The school fund in 1894 was $1,093,830; the school fund is now $1,538,995.
The amount raised by local tax in 1894 was $375,042; the amount raised by local tax in 1901 was $562,721. In 1895, when the first census was taken to ascertain the number of normal trained teachers in the State, it was found that the . number of normal tr'ained teachers employed by the State was 695; 497 white, 198 colored. In 1901 the total number of normal trained teachers was 2,238; 1,791 white, 447 colored.
In 1894 we had comparatively few modern schoolhouses in the rural districts. Since that time we have built nearly 3,000. Last year the reports show that there were built in the State 334 new schoolhouses, at a total cost of $246,380. Nearly all of these new schoolhouses were built in the country. Most of the money for these ,schoolhouses was raised by the people themselves, very little of the school fund having been used for this purpose.

OFFICIAL REOORDS OF PERMANENT LICENSES.
Hon. J. S. Hook, during his three years term, issued 358 permanent licenses, averaging 119 each year. Hon. S. D. Bradwell, during his four years term, issued 559 permanent licenses, averaging 139 each year. For the last eight years a total of 320 permanent licenses has been issued, averaging 40 each year. When I came into office, eight years ago, my first concern was to improve, if possible, the quality of teaching done in the State. This necessitated a raising of the standard and character of the examination. The teachers were required to read at least one professional book each year
willand be examined upon it. I think nobody can be found who dare undertake to say that the teaching body of the State

9

has not been greatly impmved. The questions for the examination are largely professional. 'They have been prepared with a view to test the teachers' power to present the subject of the common school branches to the mind of the child. The questions, therefore, not only test the macher's knowledge of the branches to be taught, but they test :also the teachers power to apply the most approved methods of modern education to the development 'of power in the child.

COST OF OUR SCHOOLS.

The most dreaded man employed by any State government

is the tax-gatherer. People stand in the same sort of fear of

taxes as they do of tyranny. They despise both. They are

ready at all times to visit the most condign punishment upon

the citizen who dares to even suggest an increase of taxabon.

The popular man is the man who finds a way to reduce tax-

atitm. It does not matter how wisely or economically the tax

money may be used for public good, the average v,oter and citi-

zen demands reduced taxation. The man who pays the least

tax is sometimes the man who raises the biggest howl a;bout

"grievous tax burdens." . People do not stop to consider that

civilization and progress cost something. The savage is the

only man that pays no tax. The higher the human family

rises in civilization, the greater ~ill be the number of pwblic

wants and necessities, and the higher, therefore, must be the

tax rate. The most prosperous and progressive States in this

country, and in all other countries, are the States that pay the

highest taxes. The least prosperous and the most unprogress-

ive States in this country, and all other countries, are the

States that are least taxed. This is especially true when it

comes to taxation for schools. Dr. Harris' last report s,hows

the following significant figures:

Our broad acres in this southern tier of 'States can never b6

made to resume their virgin fertility, and yield the most gen-

e:rous returns until we have mixed our brains with our s\>il.

Ideas are worth more than acres. Ideas do not come without

cultivation. 'They are not born in men. They are the cost-

liest things in this world. Their possession cannot be esti-

mated in dollars and cents. Only. a man with brain-power

can develop a country. I have said many times to the Legis-

lature and to the people of Georgia, that the development of

this State must depend at last upon those citizens of the com-

monwealth whose brains are trained to think, and whose

hands are skilled to labor. The trained citizen and the

skilled citizen of the future must come out of the schools.

Wealth from the soil and wealth from the forest, and wealth

from the mine, must be created in the future by the man who

thinks for himself and who has the developed skill to use the

machine. The work of the world in the future will be done

in all departments of human endeavor by rapidly improving

machinery. It will require a trained mind as well a8 a trained

hand to direct the improved machines. Weare rapidly ap-

proaching a period in the progress of civilization where the

ignorant man will find no place for work. He will simply be

branded "not wanted" and pushed aside.

11
These considerations should bring the Legislature to a thoughtful and serions concern of the work that must be done in our schools in the future. We cannot do the work that must be done for the children at a. cost of 89 cents per capita, of population. The State is now rai1sing for the support of the school $1,500,000 per year. I do not believe that the Legislature, for years to come, at least, will increase the school fund by a general tax levy. But the Legislature can do what is perhaps better-provide a way for the levy ofa
LOCAL 'TAX FOR SCHOOLS.
This question of a local tax for schools is now engaging the th:oughtful atoontion: of the General Assembly of ever'y State in the South. Ala:bama.and North Carolina and Mississippi and Louisiana, have provided in their 'new constitutions for the levy of 11 local tax in any community whenever a majority of the V6TIeT'S of that community desires to levy such tax. Under our Constitution we ca,nnot get the question even presen'ood to the people until after two grand juries have recommended it. After the grand juries have successively recommended the tax, then it requires two-thirds of the votes registered at a previous general election to levy the tax. County aiter county in Georgia has attempted to secure local tax by this means. The majority vote for the local tax has been large in every case, but the majority vo:te does not reach the two-thirds majority of the ~revious registered vote required by the Con,S'titution.
The Legislature is the only body in the State that can provide an adequate remedy for this anomalous situation. We have done away with the two-thirds rule when it comes to control the democratic organizations. Is fhere any reason why we should still hold to the old two-thirds rule when it is a question of providing the necessary means for the support of the school?
A majority of the taxpayers in any county :should be allowed to say whether or not they are willing to tax the propert.y of

12
the county to supplement the sC~}Jol fund, provided by the State. The majority of the property holders or voters, in any sub-school district in the State, should be allowed to tax the property of that school district, in order to have a better "school for the children of the district. If this right of the people cannot be secured without a change in the Constitution.. the pre&ent Legislature should see to it that the Oonstitution is changed so that the people may have a chance to apply this right of local option to the school question.
In most of the Northern and Western State1s when the school system began, the money raised was raised by local tax. The State afterwards supplemented the local tax. In all of the Southern States the school systems began by the levy of, a State tax. In this way we have trained our people from the beginning to rely upon the State levy for the support of the .. school. 'The towns and cities and a few counties, where good school systems are estaJblished, get about two-thirds of their money from a local tax. The county of Richmo'l1'd raised last yearby local tax $55,000; the county received from the State $38,000; Bibb county raised by local tax $51,000; the county received from the State $31,000; Chatham county rai&ed last year by local tax $84,000; the county received from the State $37,000; the city of Atlanta raised bya looal tax $128,000; the city received from the State $39,000. All of the school systems supported by local tax in this State will compare in excellence and efficiency with the best school systems in any State. Where the local tax is imposed the people take more interest in the schools. The teaching force is better paid, the school term is longer, more efficient superintendence, better grading of school work, a larger enrollment and average attendance and a higher grade of tJ8achers are all secured. In the little State of Florida some of the counties tax themselves as high as $10.00 a thousand for the support of the schools in addition to the small levy raised 'by the State tax of $2.00 a thousand. In Georgia the entire State levy for schools is only $2.10 ptr thousand.

13
After all, the facts show that the most attractive centers of population in the State are the centers that have the higheEt local tax for schools. People are not running away from tile local tax, but they are running to it. Atlanta is attracting more people than any city in the State, and it has tbe highest local tax rate for schools. People are anxious to make investments for their money in property at a high valuation .that is subjected to local tax, when they will rarely inv~t. money in property where there is no 10cal tax for schools, even at a low valuation. However one may reason about it, 01[" whatever conclusions may be drawn from it, the fact remailli', that the community that imposes a local tax for schools develops a class of citizens that earn more money and have greater general prosperity than the citizen of a community
thaJt win not or cannot impose a local tax for schools.
TO SEOUREEFFIOIEwr SERVIOETHE TEAOHERS SHOULD BE PAID PROMPTr~Y.
As I see it, we can never escape the annual embarrassment growing out of the delay in paying our teachers until the counties and school districts are permitted to levy a local tax. The Governor is required each year t,o borro-w about $200,000 in order to secure enough money to pay for two months' work in ,the early part of the year. It is simply a disgrace to a great State to require its empl,oyees to wait for the small pittance due them f.or at least six month every year. The laborer who cle!ans the streets of the capital city of the State receives higher wages, and receives it at the end of each week, than is paid the average teacher in the rural schools of the State. This issimp]y an unspea:ka;ble, burning shame. The street cleaner of Atlanta not only receives his money promptly at the end of each week, but he has employment for 300 days every year. The average rural school-teacher of the State receives less money and does not receive that promptly when it is due, and is employed for only 100 days in the year. How can the Legis1ature expect to secure efficient service in the

14
school-room under oonditions so hazardous and intolerable at to frighten away in-rolligence? Is it any wonder that many of our bright young men and women who are fit to train the ~ildrenare turning their backs upon the schoolhouse after a year or two of such experierrce ?
Another thought in this connection :-the school can be no better than the teacher. The best definition that has ever been. given of the ideal American school is "Mark Hopkins on one end of a 'bench and a boy on the other end." Mark Hopkins will not stay on his end of the bench long unleBS he is paid to stay there. He has wants and needs; he must be clothed and fed as other men. 'The business world soon finds out that he has brain-power of a superior order and the business or pro-fessional world offers him a larger premium for his superior culture. Nobody can blame him for leaving the boy alone to enjoy the higher and better fruits of his toil. Scribblers in the public prints have thrown ,bitter and cruel shafts at our school system, at the shori comings and inefficiency of our teachers, when these hard-worked and poorly paid employees of the State have clung to their positions under conditions re~ quiring the severest tests of heroism. In thousands of instances in Georgia, to my personal knowledge, men and women have stifled the cry of an ambition to seek for higher and better places, because they could not stifle 'a nobler and better cry that welled up from the hearts of the little children. Under the very best conditions, the life of a teacher is a hard life. Year by year we are demanding more of these teachers. In God's name, in the name of our little children, is it not high time that the Legislature should heed the demand, and that too, a righteous amdholy demand, on the part of the'8e -roacherl'l for prompter and better pay 1 We riliall live nowhere as we shall live in our children. The money we spend on grown up criminals each year is ,a large amount of money, and when it is spent it is lost forever. The money we' spend on those who are saving our children from becoming criminals is not only the wisest investment of the State's revenue, but it buys a bond of civilization that bears interest fo,rever.

15
ElUMMER SOHOOL FOR TEAOHERS.
In nearly every State in the Union the State authorities have provided for a month or six weeks' summeer school for the tea'chers. Everywhere in thY; country the teachers have felt the need of coming together for the purpose of exchanging experiences, becoming acquainted with new 'and improved methods, and studying together the great movements of modern educational progress. These summer meetings are usually held at the seat of the State University or Normal School. 'l'hat our Georgia teachers have felt, the need of the summer school is shown by the fact that this last year about 200 of them went to the 'Ohicago University; 20(} more to the summer schools in the' North and East; 300 attended the great summer school at Knoxville, and over 200 more attended a session of summer school at our own State Normala:t Athens. TheOhancellor of the University and the President of the State Normal Sohool, are now planning for a great summer school to be held next year at AthenB. The great majority of our teachers cannot afford to leave their schools to spend a year or two at some good Normal School or University. They can take a part of their vacation for a six weeks' course at the summer school. The Legislature win prob3lbly be asked by the authorities of the University for a small appropriation to maintain such a summer school next year. I sincerely trust that such an appropriation may be:rromptly made for this purpose.
SUPPI.,YING'rEX'r-BOOKS.
A great deal has been written and spoken during the last year concerning the best method of supplying text-books for the schools. For seveml years, indeed, bills have been introduced in the Legislature embodying provisions for a uniform text-book la:w, so-called. The theory underlying all of these bills is that the State Board of Education can select text-books. and secure as good books as those now being ,adopted by cpunty boards of education, and at cheaper prices. The ad-

16
vocates of these bills claim that under a State contract the publishers will furnish books at a lower cost than can now be secured under county adoptions. The authors also claim thwt we cannot have a unif'orm system without uniform texts.
Simila,r 'bills to those above mentioned will proibably be introduced at the approaching session of the Legislature. Without going into a detailed argument against the proposed hills, I desire to call the attention of the General Assembly to the fo llowing considerations:
1. No State has ever yet 3Jdopted the best books on the market and furnished them vothe schools at a lower price than the same books have been supplied to every other Sta~ in the Union. The best books, like the best plows, or the best shoes, or the best of any other commodity, lvave their prices fixed by an unchangeruble commercial law, the law of supply and demand, that no individual State can control.
2. A lew States in the Union are to-day ope1"ating their schools under so-called uniformity laws. Under these laws they secure books at prices nominally cheaper than the books were secured under county contract. In every case, however, where such State adoptions are secured, ,the hooks are inferior in their meclvanical make-up, or in their educational value, or both. It is most significant that books once adopted in this way are seldom readpoted; one term is enough to prove their inferiority.
It must also be remembered that whenever a swooping change of 'books is made, brought about by a uniform adoption of terxt-books, 'a very great loss is eIlltailed by discarding the old books. 'rhe books now owned by the school children of Georgia are the accumulation of years. They have not been purchased in any one year, but each family has supplie<i its children with one or two 'books this year, possibly a book or two last year, and others the year 'before, all of which are still in usaJble condition and are serving a good purpose at the present time. A general uniform adoption of 'books in the State is followed by a sweeping out of fue accumulation of

17

text-books, acquired through partial purchase scattered over

I

several years; and thus a loss equal to three or four times the' annual cost of school books in the State is entailed by such ll: change. True, some allowance is made by pu'blishers for the

f

old books exchanged for the new; but why visit the people

with any loss when no corresponding gain can be expected?

3. The demand for a State Uniformity Law, so fa~ as I

know, has never come from 'school boards, nor from teachers, nor from anybody directly connected with the supervision and management of schools. It has always come directly or in-

directly from certain publishers whose books cannot compete in the open market with the best books of their competitors.

The publishers of inferior text-books raise the cry "State

Unif'OTmity" and "cheap books" in order to foist their worth-

less wares upon an unsuspecting pu.blic. They usually pay

some lobbyist ,to sound the cry "book trust" and "grinding

monopoly" (the "trust," of course, being the publishers whose books, are in use) during a session of the General Assembly

in order that they may secure :01' themselves the worst kind of monopoly.

4. As an educational proposition, the "dead level of uni-

formity" is unspeakably bad for the schools. The unanimous

opinion of the bestthirrkers and writers on this subject in America is, that county uniformity is as far as this question of

uniform text-book" should be carried.

The true principle seems to be that of local ~lf-govern..

ment. In States in which the township is the political unit, each township exercises its own right of free choice in the matter of school text~books, as it does in the selection of

teachers, school sites or plans for school buildings, or other

parts of the school equipment. In some States, as in Xew

York, the school district (of which there may be any number in a township) is the only unit of adoption, and enforced

uniformity obtains only in a single school, except that the

worthiest and best adapted books grow in popularity and extend in use until, by a procCiS8 ,of natural selection, or sur-

18

viv~l of the fittest, they become generally used over a large

area where similar educational conditions prevail.

There is no uniformity among the teachers nor Dilllong the

children. There is no uniformity of school conditions. No

two children are alike; no two localities are alike. The

Chinese have a uniformity law which requires the feet of their

owfoma eunnibfeorbmousnizde.so

that they cannot outgrow a wooden shoe I have never heard any physician testify

that this wa,sa good process for the circulation of the blood

in the body, or that it resulted in a better foot.

5. 1'he testimony of school superintendents, board members
and teachers, in those States now experimenting with w-

formity laws, is overwhelmingly against the continuance of

the law. I have on file in my office 112 letters from county

and city superintendents in a neighboring State, that three

years ag-o adopted a uniform text-book law. Everyone of

these superintendents is opposed to the law as it is being en-

forced m that State. Almost without exception, they testify

that th(~ 'Dooks adoplted are inferior and unsatisrfaetory, amiCI

that the people who have to pay for these books have to pay

more for books in the long run than they ever paid before.

The country people are especially bitter against the law. In

order to seCl\re these inferior books they must pay the cash

if they get them at the contract price. In most cases they do

not have the cash to pay, and then the contractor or merchant

can charge any price he pleases, and they must pay an enorm-

ous profit above the contract price for the books on the State

list.

In addition to this, such hooks are always found :to be in-

adequate, and the poor parents are compelled to buy supple-

mentary teachable books of real value, that their children

actually use in the schools. This is 'a revelation of what goes

on beneath the surface where State UnifoTlllity prevails. Put

in simple language the facts seem to be tha,t unwise and mis-

directed legislation foists upon the State a uniform system of text-books, always inferior to the best books, and always illadapted to the majmity of the schools and localities of the

19
State; and then the honest desire to do the best possrble for the child leads the local ,authorities to encourage the use of 'an additional set of books, purchased in open market, to make good, so far as possible, the defects9f the State adopted text-books. Thus, the public is first told that uniform text-:books mean cheaper books, and next, that in order that their children may get a fair chance of a common school education, they must have another set of books, regardless of expense.
6. The on<:; argument in favor of State Uniformi~y seems to be that it would 'save those parties who move from county to county every year the necessity of buying new books every time they move. Probably 2;{; of our population move about this way. "l'he question for the Legislature to consider is, in order to benefit 2% of our population, is it wise to injure 98.%?
'I. The Legislature should consider that this book question is a side issue. It is not the important thing in education. The serious educational question in Georgia is not the textbook the child uses, but the teacher and tp.e child. The. mal concern on the part of the Legislature should grow out of these questions: Who and what are the teachers of Georgia children? and what are the fund1amental needs of these children? A good desk to fit the child's body, and a comfortable schoolhouse in which to place the child, and attractive surroundings, and a long sehool term, are infinitely mme important that the text-book. Employ good teachers and seek their advice as to what books they can do the best work with, and good books will follow. Put the selection of school books into the hands of a State Commissron, which, by the condition of the case, cannot consider the individu'al needs of all localities) and the e'Xperience of Georgia will be the same unsatrsfaC'bory experience of other States that have tried thi'S plan.
8. It is safer to trust 137 boards of education to select such books as they need for their own ohildren than it is to allow the matter to be determined by any sort of a central commission that ca'n be brought together at the State capitol. Tho county boards of education in Georgia are selected by tho

20
grand juries of the county. As a rule, they are among the best and most prominent men in the county. They know till; local needs of their schools better than any other body of men knows them. Not a single 'board of educati10n in the State of Georgia luJ.s, by a resolution or otherwise, asked this Legislature to pass this unifoT'lll text-book law. By a practically unanimous request a few years ago, when 'this matter was being agitated, they' did ask the General Assembly to let the textbook questi'Qn alone, and give the time usually devoted to it to the weightier questions affecting our system of education. It was clearly shown in that discussion that the entire coot of all the school books purchased in anyone ye'ar did not exceed $150,000, and that the average cost of books per child enrolled in the schools each year did not exceed 30 cents. The bOllJrd of education also emphasized their right of "local option" in this matter, 'Wisely and properly insisting that the right to select books suited to the needs of the ~chools was as much their right under our law and Oonstitution, as the right to select teachers or choose sites for 'schoolhouses. When once you begin to centralize power over the schools in the State capitol, there is no telling where the centralizing tendency will end.
The great State of Georgia has stood :!lor progress and everybhing that makes commercial and material prosperity, and no State has made more rapid advancement in the matterof education as represented by our public school system. The General Assemlbly has the power to determine whether this commonwealth shall continue onward and upward in its educa:tional progress, cherishing and developing the desire and ambition for educa:tion in every nooJk and corner of the State, according to its individual wbility and environment or whether it will turn backward in its path and espouse the unprC\gTessive, anti-educational, undemocratic, misleading and disastrous heresy, and create a great commercial monopoly under the guise of State Uniformity of text-books.

THECONSOLIDA'TION OF DISTRIOTS AND TRANS-
,PORTATION OF CHILDREN.
Twenty-two States in the Union are rapidly consolidating smaIl school districts into larger ones and transporting the children. This new movement has met the hearty approval of all the people who have tried it. Like every other new movement, it has at first met with opposition because people have not taken the time TO study i,ts merits. In several New England Strutes which. have tried the experiment, land in remote d:istr~cts has risen in value instead of depreciating, as was predicted by those who opposed the dosing of the school near their farms. Massachusetts now spends $120,000 a year in transporting children, and the authorities state that for thE> expenditure of this $120,000, they have nat only dOUlbled the ltverage attendance of children in sparsely settled communI
ties, ibut they have actually saved money to the taxpayers by
the expriment. In the Western States the movement has become more and
more popular year by year. In North Carolina where the experiment has been recently tried, it is giving great satisfaction. With the expenditure of the same amount of money as before, infinitely greater results hl\.ve been attained. In many of our counties in this State the same conditions prevail in Bparcely settle'd communities as prevail all over the country. It haJs ibeen fourud cheaper 'and every way better to transporl a dozen children four or five miles to a central school that it is to employ a capable teacher and pl'ovide a schoolhouse for these children near their 'O'Wn homes. The leading arguments in 'favor of consolidation and transportatiO'Il seem to be as foUows:
First. One central schoolhouse where a 1arger number of children can be bl'ought eogether and properly graded and classified provides infinitely better opportunities for the children than they can possibly have in a small schoolhouse with one teacher in an ungraded school.

22
Second. Small children and girls can in this way be protected from the assaults of tramps and brutal fiend" who infest lonely desolate places in the country.
Third. In most cases an actual saving of money can be secured to the taxpayers as has been clearly shown in many States where the experiment has been tried.
Fourth. A longer school term, higher grade of teacher:'!, better supervision of the school can always be secured by thi5method.
Fifth. People are consolidating in the towns and cities for the purpoSs of society andiJhe improved facilities for education. It is high time that people in the country should consolidate for the same purposes. Many other arguments could be given in favor ,of the centralization of the schools in the country, but the above are deemed sufficient for the present to convince the Legislature that the county board of education in Georgi'a should have the authority, whenever in their judgment it is deemed wise and proper to exercise i't, to consolidate the weak and inefficient schools of a number of sparsely settled communities ido one strong central school.
'This matter can be safely left to the discretion of the county boards of education. They will not force consolidation upon people who are not ready for it. In many cases in North Carolina the patrons of the schools are asking for COIl' :'!olidation and centralization. Last year the number of schoo~ districts in Korth Carolina was reduced more than a thousand. Our boards of education and county superintendent:'! will be wise enough and tactful enough to manage this matter with discretion. All they ask of the Legisla:ture is, that in such cases where they can consolidate the schools and transport the children, and by so doing provide better facilities for all the children, they may be allowed to do so,
Rere is a sample of the comments of the papers of North Carolina in regard to this movement:
The Raleigh News and Observer very wisely advocates the consolidation of scattered weak schools into central strong

23
ones. It says: "Wise consolidation of public school districts has beguIl!, Durham and Ga'barrus taking the lead. DUI'ham merged three districts into one in Mangum township. This consolidation will give a gmded school with longer terms, and if properly conducted the parties who are now opposed to the merger will come to be its warmest supporters.
"The Concord Standard says that at the meeting of the board of education, two school districts in number ten township were consolidated. The board will reduce the number of districts from 56 to 40. Last July two districts consolidated, and were thereby enabled to build a splendid two-room schoolhouse.
" 'Seeing the good results of the consolidation, other school districts will do likewise,' says the Concord Standard. In one township where the schools were consolidated 'the people were so delighted with their house, they purchased a good ,bell by popular SUbscription,' 'and the Standa.rd prints this semible comment: 'This shows how easily a good neighborhood, at first dissatisfied, can rise up from selfish views and respond cheerfully to all efforts looking to the greatest good to the greatest numbers.' "
A CO-ORDINATED SYSTEM OF STATE EDUCATION.
Sections 13 and 14 of the charter of the State Uni'"ersity reads as follows:
"The Senatus Academicus, at their stated annual meetings, shall consult and advise, not only upon the affairs of the University, but also to remedy the defects and advance the interests of literature through the State in general. Fo~ this purpose it shall be the business of the members, previous to their meetings, to obtain an acquaintance with the State and regulations of the schools and places of education in their respective counties, that they may be thus possessed of the whole and have it lie before them for their mutual assistance and delIberation. Upon this info'rmation they shall recommend what kind of schools and academies shall b~ instituted,

24
agreeably to the Constitution, in the several parts of the State, and prescribe what branches of education shall be taught ana. inculcated. They shall'also examine and recommend the instruciJors to be employed in them, or appoint persons for tb'at purpose. The president of the University, as often as the duties of his station will permit, and some of the members, at least once in a year, shall visit them and examine into their order and performances.
Sec. 14. All public schools instituted or to be supported by funds or public moneys in this State, shall be considered as parts or members of the Unive'rsity, and shall be under the foregoing directions and regulations."
The founders of the University, as the present Chancellor has clearly shown, had in mind a co-ordinated system of State schools, extending from the primary or common school through the secondarl)' or high school up to the University. All of the Northern and Western States, and some of the Southern States, have to-day just such a system of State Cdll. cation. There is no provision in our law for high school or secondary education. Only those counties or cities that impose a local tax have high schools attached to their system. In the W<?st.ern States there are not only academic highschools, but agricultural high schools. 'l'hese agricultural high schools are immensely popular. They are the bestattended high schools of the West. They are training the yaung people for the pursuit of scientific agriculture. The testimony of all concerned is that these agricultural high schools of the West are training 'a class of young people who will tremendously improve the system of agriculture of that section. If we had such a system of agriculture in the schools here in Georgia the complaint tha,t boys do not attend our agricultural college would cease. The boys do not attend the agricultural college simply because they have had no elementary or secondary training in agricU:lture to fit them for a college course. As a matter of fact, we are rapidly putting manual training and nature studies in aU of our primary 'Schools, and what we now need to complete our system of education is at

25
least one or two good high school,; in cnch county, embracing both academic and agricultural cour;;es. Lnthis way we can bridge over the gulftha,t now exists between the common schools and the university. This co-ordinated system of State education was nat only Mr. Jefferson's idea, -but it was the idea of those distinguished Georgians who prepared the charter of our State University.
I especially press this important matter upon the 'attention of the Legislature. The vast majority of our children will of necessity become farmers. 'They should become intelligent farmers. The schools in which they are trained should have some special reference in their courses of study to the work which these children must do in after life. The school should not be of such a character as to train the boys away from the farm. They should rather train these children to love and honor the noblest, freest find most independent of all human occnpations.
A FINAL WORD.
This is perhaps my last appeal to a Georgia Legislature in behalf of the schools. I have given eight of the best years of my life to the service of the people. I have 'tried in my reports and in hundreds of public addres,ses to help the people t'o see the importance of maintaining a school system that will give all the children a fair chance in the race of life. I have known and felt more keenly than any of the critics of the system, its needs and imperfections. These cannot be remedied as long as we are willing to pay only $2.31 per child of school age, or 89 coots per capita of population. The man who says . the school system can be properly maintained for so small a coshs either willfully.a demagogue or woefully ignorant.
Any fair mind that will compare the cost of administering the school fund in Georgia with the cost of schoola:dminisiration in any other State in the Union, will find that the fund here is administered as wisely and economically 'as in any Stak It ought to be said also that no State has done more,

26
if so much, with the amount of money appropriated for schools than Georgia has done.
Unfortunately there are people among us who would like to sec the school system crippled or destroyed altogether. These people believe and teach that every man should educate his own children; that the public school should be a school for thc poor only. It is folly to try to convert these people. They arc too old and life is too short. Besides, they will soon be forgotten as they lie aslee.p in the merciful oblivion of some lonely cemetery; nor will the shroud that wraps them in e~er nal forgetfulness contain a hiding-place for a single dollar tlla't in life their bony fingers clutched from a soul-hlllngry child.
We have another class of people who declare they would not object to a tax for schools if the white man's money was devoted only to the white man's child, and the black man's money to the black man's child. These people do not seem to know that while out of every hundred children of school age in Georgia, 45 are black and 55 white, the black child geti' now only about 20 percent. of the school fund. There could not be found a jury of twelve honest men in Georgia who would not give the black child what he is now receiving as his equity of the fund. But suppose the negro did not contribute a dollar to the school fund, is there a member of the Georgia Legislature, with only one loaf of bread. if he should meet. t,,"O starving children, one white and one black, would he give all the loaf to the whi te child and leave the black one to >lie? ,Vould he not give the black chilli at least a part and try and save both?
As I see the case of the negro, his rcal and trustworthy friend, the friend upon whom he must rcly, the only friend who can and will understand him, is the white man here in the South. If we abandon him his case is hopcless. If we cannot apply right processes to education to save him, ilnd make him a skillful producer of wealth and a useful citizen, then God have mercy upon his children and our OW11. We would better spend thousands of dollars for his education to

27
change the name and the character of his crime, if it doe~ nothing more, t:han to have one single white 'Woman suffer the ignominy and the nameless disgrace of the beastly lust of one ignorant Iblack brute. Dr. Harris' able report on the subject shows beyond question, that education changes the tendency in all ignorant races to low and beastly crimes. With the improved character and increasing efficiency in the negro teachers we can hopefully look for better results from tke negro schools in the future.
I leave the office of Commissioner of Education praying the Legislature and the people of Georgia to cherish the school s~stem. Speak kindly words for my successor. As he takes up the work of saving the children of the commonwealth, let every true friend of the school rally earnestly and cordially to his support,
SUGGESTIONS '1'0 GENIDRAL ASSEMBLY FROM: CO UNTY SUPElUNTENDENTS.
NOTE.-Each County Superintendent in the State was invited to make such suggestions to the Legislature as he thought proper. The following have sent replies:
CT,ARKE COU"'TY.-IION. THOS. DOZIER, C. S. S
I have not had an opportunity until now to comply with your request contained in circular letter of .June 17'th.
In reply to that letter, I will say that interest is increasing among all cl&sses of our people in this county for the bettermentof the schools in the rural districts. The greatest trouble we have is the irregular attendance of the children after their names have been registered. This, in a great measure, grows out of the lack of appreciation on the part of parents of the importance of regular attendance. This we are gradually overcoming by personal appeals from the county school commissioner, through ('ircular letters and visits to the parents. We also, during the last term of our schools, required and encouraged teachers to introduce into the schools different

28
kinds of simple handiwork; this interests the children when properly managed, and naturally the parents, and results in a more uniform attendance.
Our schools this year will be continued for a term of six months, possibly for seven months next year, and this is as long as rural schools can be profita:bly kept, except, perhaps; in villages.
CHATTAHOOCHEE COUNTY.-HON. C. N. HOWARD, C. S. S.
'.Dhe people of my CQunty are generally more interested in the schools. The teachers realize the importance of improvement andrprogress by adopti'ng best bethods. The board of education,several years ago, solved the question of monthly payments to te'achers by the only legitimate way, and exercising the authority of the law, by grading the school to the amount of funds available during the 'school year; af,ter reducing the public term to four months two years, we have been able to run the school five months and pay 'teachers promptly.
The present year, 1902, the public school term is six months, with funds sufficient to pay teachers monthly for six months. 'fhe most urgent needs of the public school system in this county are better schoolhouses and furnishings and grading of schools and sufficient money ,to pay two or more teachers for each full school.
COLQUITT COUNTY.-HON. N. N. :MARCHANT, C. S. C.
I think some plan should be devised by which the teachers of the common schools shall receive their salaries at the expiration of each month. I believe prompt quarterly payments would be better than our present system.
I favor combined institutes for teachers, and think the time should he two weeks at least, if no more.
The public school term should be six months, and in counties where the amount of funds received from the Sta;te is not sufficient to operate the schools for that length of time, a law

29
should be enacted delegating to the county boards of education the pawer to levy a tax sufficient for that purpose~
I believe a period of ten years is long enough for permanent license to be P'ranted. :;\1:any teachers holding State license seem to be indifferent as to whether they keep in touch with educational methods.
Allow me to state that a lively interest is being manifested in our schools this year. The attendance is good and the schools are prosperous.
ELBERT COUNTY.-HON. J. N. WALL, C. S. S.
I wish to slty the public schools of Elbert county are doing a vast amount of good, yet they are far from doing what they should do. Each year we are trying to bring about more hearty co-operation on the part of patrons with the school board of the county, which is indispensable in order to accomplish the greatest amount of good.
Our oounty has been scou~ed this year by small-pox, on which account the schools have greatly suffered. The school system has many drawhacks, and its foes are Legion, but notwithstanding all of thesf; its triumphs find their highest expressions in the development of mind and in the enlightment of the children of our people, which, as a result furnishes an argument more potent than the combined reasons of all adversaries. The wonder is that it lives as an enterprise at all, but like Gamaliel's prophecy of the gospel, "if it be of God ye cannot overthrow it."
FULTON COUNTY.-SUPERINTENDENT ~L L. BRITTAIN
Advocates a local tax to increase the length of the school term.
FULTON COUNTY.-J\L L. BRITTAIN, C. S. S.
Byond all else the schools of Fulton county need an increase in the length of the public school term. Nearly half of our county schools, by the payment of tuition fees, add

30
lrom one to four months. But this plan shuts out the poorer .children and interferes continually with the school work, rendering it impossible to keep it properly graded. A local tax that would give every child in Fulton an opportunity to attend school for nine months in the year wonld be the best thing that could happen to the county. The results would be increased property values and a better educated people. This tax will always be opposed by two classes-the ignorant and the covetous. The first, it is our dut] to enlighten and enlist upon the side of progress and patriotism; against the second, we shall always have to fight, for history and Holy Writ teach that with them it takes a higher than human power to avail.
"GWINNETT COUNTY.-l-ION. J. A. BAGWELL, SUPERINTENDENT.
Within the last two years twelve old schoolhouses have been torn down nnd twelve splendid new ones erected instead. The standard of teachers has been raised, more than fifty appli,cants for teacher's license having failed to make any grade at all.
With a school population of about 7,300, 6,918 children attended the public schools last year. There used t,o be private schools in the county, thus showing disloyalty 'to the public school system. To-day, so far as I know, there is not a single priva:te sC'hool in all the county.
But there is much to do in our county. The board of edncation at its last session unanimously decided to layoff the the county into school districts. Except in two localities the schools are about as well located as it is possible, and it is now high time th:it the school territories should be definitely known. When this work is done the teachers will know where to find their children, the children will know to which school they muS't !attend. and the county scho'Ol commissioner am1 board of education will be athle to ascertain the reason for the non-attendance of any child in any school district in the .county.

i>1
c. LIBEHTY COUXTY.-HON. J. B. MARTIX, C. S.
hi. ::I[oney to pay our teachers promptly. 2(1 Compulsory education from eight to fourteen years of age. We find a majority of pupils in our schools under ten years of age. ;3d. Normal trained teachers, who have taken teaching as a profession. 4th. School term not less than eight months. 5th. School term That to include the months of July and August, as the weather is too hot for good work during thos~ months.
J\fADISOK COUKTY.-HON. B. N. WHITE, C. S. S.
R.eplying to your favor of recent date, a'sking my views on needed school legislation, I will say, the only thing I can sec that is necessary to perfect the common school system of Georgia is more money. We need thorough, competent men and IYomen to run our schools successfully, and it is out of the question to get them for the sum of $150 to $200 per year. And as it seems that the State is 'already iaxed enough for school purposes, I would suggest that such legislation be enacted as will enable the sub-school district, that wishes to do so, to mise by local taxa,tion, such an amount as may be necessar~' to supplement the State fund.
I would also suggest an enactment, authorizing the G. N. and 1. College and the State Normal School to grant license to their normal graduates.
J\IITCIIELL COUXTY.-HON. J. H. POWELL.
Compulsory attendance. The greatest necessity of our schools to-day is the prompt daily attendance of the children. Could the parents and guardians of the children he induced to properly appreciate this important necessity which I have with every opportunity endeavored to impress upon parents, guardians and chil(hen, then could we more cheerfully hope for lasting and hap-

32
pier results. It might be that if some legislation on this lint;, if consistent, would be important.
Our schools have improved wonderfully in the last eight or ten years. Our teachers, as a rule, grade higher, are better prepared for the work. Communities have felt the weight of this better preparation and influenced new life and inspiration asW'ell as better and improved school rooms and grounds, evidenced this fact. Had we the means to furnish each school a library made up of good books properly selected and graded, it is my judgment that this is the nearest way to educate the communities out of the indifferent attendance upon our schools. It would be money well spent. By this pran or means the communities would be led to see and appreciate the efforts of the State and others to help them and their children. The children and the age wbsolutely demand this of their parents, county and State, that they may become good, useful and intelligent citizens.
MORGAN COUNTY.-HON. F. L. FLORENCE, C. s. s.
I believe that the difficulties that most seriously affect the schools in Morgan county are not confined within the limits of Morgan county, but are of general import which makes the importarrce of this consid8'ration by the Legislature from whom alone we may hope to get relief the greater. So far as a plan fo'!' the operation of the public school system of Geo'!'gia is concerned it is excellent, but the provisions fo'!' carrying out the plan are inadequate. The limited space to which you confine me will not admit of my discussing any of my suggeitiom as to their results. Ld me say, however, that after an experience of three years and as under as favorable conditions I suppose as exist within many of ,the best counties of the Statl', I am convinced that very little progress in educational matters will be made until the difficulties I shall refer to, shall have 'been removed.
First in importance is the difficultv of securing and retaining the best teaching- intellect. This difficulty arises from two

33
causes, shorl school terms and the delinquency with which teachers are paid. Of these the latter is of the greatest present importance. I conceive of three ways by which it may be removed, to wit:
lst. By doubling the school appropriation for one year, while the term and expenditumsbe the present basis.
2d. By suspending the schools for {)llle year, but allowing their 'appropriation 00 remain the same, beginning again on a cash basis after one year.
3d. Allowing the appropriation to remain the same, limit the term and expenditures fifty per cent. for two successive years, which would enable us to resume on a cash basis after ,two years. '':'he first I suppose wtn be deemed impracticable, the second probably be hooted at, land the third-well, I haven't seen that suggestion ,before. Without the adoption of one of these plans, or a better one, we may continue to expect inefficient schools. For we shall have them whether we expect them or not.
Second. The next hindrance Ito the efficiency of our schools is irregular attendance. 'The only possible remedy is a compulsory 'attendance law. I believe we are as near ready for 'it as we shall eve,r be. ]'OT we shall ever have with 115 "Ill' poor," the widow, the dependent upon her orphan children for support, and last, but no means least in number, "the negroes," and from present indications more of them.
Third. Another difficulty that prevents many of our counties from securing practical relief from the above hindmnces is that of securing th privilege of voting for the adoption of the local tax law by re'ason of existing constitutional provisions requiring that an election can be ordered only upon a recommendation of two successive grand juries and then can become law only upon securing two-thirds of the votes of the registered voters.
I wish to add my persoll'al endorsement of the resolution passed at the recent convention at Augusta, requesting the
S Be

34
Legislature to remove this difficulty. This may be done by submitting a constitutional amendment to the people of the State by striking out the clause of the Oonstitution containing these requirements and putting it within the power of the
LegiSlature to enact law w~ecreby upon a recommcnda tion of
,u single grand jury an election may be ordered, etc.
MUSCOGEE COUNTY.-HON. J. F. JOHNSON, C. 8. 8.
I will offer the following suggestions: First, and most important, prompt monthly payments to teachers. Second. Let text-book question remain as it is. Better pay teachers what is due them than to incur additional expense by State Uniformity, to say nothing of evil results at,oondant upon State adoption and enforcement of same.
OCONEE COUNTY.-HON. JAMES M. J\IAYNE.
'Better schoolhouses, better furniture and more schOOL apparatus.
'The amount of money received from the State is not sufficient to pay our teachers and have any left with which to build and fl1rnish schoolhouses. Our people are beginning to think that the schools ought to be, as their name indicates, absolutely free. . So prevalent is this idea they are refusing in many instances to contribute anything 'towards the payment of ~he teacher's salary.
I am aware the la,w provides a plan by which we can impose a special tax for building schoolhouses; but to get the requisite recommendations by the grand jury, and a two-thirds vote of the people is almost an impossibility. Too much has been said ltbout the indefinite or uncertain way in which the State money comes to us to need any comment by me, but this too, is 'Working a hardship upon our schools by driving so many of our best tearhers to seek other fields of employment.
In spite of the indifference shown by the masses, our school 'Work is being carried forward with much ardor by a few of our more 'appreciative and energetic citizens, as evidenced by the

35
erection of several new schoolhouses in the last few years and the prospective erection ofa three thousand dollar school building in our county site (Watkinsville).
For carrying forward our school work I most earnestly Eolicit the aid of the Legislature and our honorable State School Commissioner.
RANDOLPH COUNTY.-HON. E. W. CHILDS, C. S. S.
Perhaps the greatest need of the schools in Randolph is funds with which to run the schools a longer term. As it seems unreasonable to expect an increase in the appropriation by the State, the best way to meet this need seems to be by local taxation along the lines advocated by Commissioner Glenn. To secure local taxation under the present law is out of the question with us.
Libraries for the rural schools is another crying need. We are doing what we can to place proper reading )'llatter in the hands of the children, and older persons, too. A library funo Ect apart by the Legislature would be a God-send to the children of Georgia.
Other needs are a more regular and complete attendance of the children in the schools, and a greater interest on the part of patrons. Undoubtedly, if the two suggestions given above. could be carried out, the evils ofa lack of attendance and lack of interest in schools would be met.
ROCKDALE COUNTY.-HON. A. D. IIAJ\IMOCK, C. S. S.
A great need of the public school system of Georgia is a well equipped normal school, where our teachers can prepare themelves i:holTOughly for their work and where their expenses while in school will be commensurate with their salaries when they engage in teaching. Our normal school at Athens is a wise beginning in the right direction and has already accomplished an incalcuable amount of good, but it is not sufficiently equipped .to meelt the demands of the teachers of our great State. The writer knows from having been a student at the

36
;lchool that the dormitories are overcrowded and that the one college building is inadequate to meet the needs of the faculty and me large body of students. We believe that one of the best and most profitable services the Legislature cOllld render to our public schools would 'be to thoroughly equip this school and provide for its maintenance, The normal school is our principal hope for good teachers, and we cannot have good schools it makes no diffeTence how well provided for we may be along other lines, unless our teachers are well trained and efficie:nt. To encourage our teachers to take normal training we think our Legislature should place its endorsement on the State NOTmal School by authorizing to be granted with tlnv restrictions to its Tegular graduates, S'bate license.
r believe the public school fund now donated by the State
is sufficient from the State. What we need is to have that fund supplemented by a local school tax levied in every county. We believe (jur Legislature will do the wise and proper thing if they 'Would repeal the present local school tax law which makes a local school tax almost an utter impossibility to obtain and enact in its stead a law which would authorize a 10c<11 school tax in a county when recommended by a majority of the registered voters of said county.
SCHLEY COUNTY.-HON. J. M. COLLUM, C. S. S.
The duties and qualifica,tions of county school commissioners should be the same as those required by the superintendents of the county systems of Bibb, Chatham, Richmltnd and Glynn. Residence should not affect the eligibility of applicants for the position of commissioner.
An institute for county school commissioners should be established and made mandatory.
SUMTER COUNTY.-HON. W. S. MOORE.
Boundary lines should be established defining each school district.
We should have an appropriation sufficient to run long term.

37
schools in each district. The school year shOll1d be changed from J annary to July 1st. The amount of money avail:able for each county ought to be sent to the commissioners and deposited in a safe bank in order that the teachers can be paid promptly at the end of each month and not have to wait a. month foT requisitions for the amount due him made to the State School Commissioner. These are some things I think I\Guld be helpful to our county.
TALBOT COUNTY.-HON. O. D. GORMAN.
I think the question of schoolhouseB may 'be considered with importance equal to any before liS. For many reasons the .'louses am:d grounds used for public school purposes should be mmed by the 'boards of education and their successors in office. Under the law the board has the authority no divert moneys for the repairing and building of schoolhouses. It follows that the 'houses 'belonging to the board, the board shall keep them in good repair and comforfaible condition, and shall furnish them as the school fund shall permit, with modern equipmeuts, 'so that the teachers and pupils may devote themselves to the daily program without the hindmance incident to a poorly fumished room.
While the people have CLone well in providing schoolhouses, it would now seem, under the opera'tion of the common school law, tnat the entire equipment for the more successful operation {)f the system should be under the control of the board of education. I doubt not public opinion through the State is ready to concede this further control of an the physical incidents of the system to the various boards of education.
As the demands on the teaching force are yearly increasing, in justice to the teachers, it would seem they should be furniBhed suihrble accommodations in houses and gl'ounds. Indeed, this is imperative. An experrt artisan cannot work without good tools. The implements of la'hor, conditions the quality of the work done, expresses their characteristics in the wares turned out. Good physical equipment is not only desirable for the superior facilities it offers for improved study,

38

but for its compensating resultant in :Esthetic culture. Develop character'and the mind by environment used by the' instruments wi'th which you perfrom educational labors. Let the child's sensuous nature respond to the favorable incidents of its school life. Let its mirrd reap pleasure from agreeable and pleasant surroundings, from a WBll-furnished schoolhouse and ample grounds, from order any system within the schoolroom, from a daily program conditioned on the needs and progressive gradations of the school, and you will have established a wonderful stimulus to chamcter and mind-growth.
While all the reforms <Or features alluded to cannot be accomplished at once, a good start can be made in the direction of board ownership and control of schoolhouses and grounds.

TWIGGS COUNTY.-HON. B. S. FITZPATRICK, C. S. s.

I make the following suggesti'Olls to the next General Assembly:
1st. That' the law be amended so that boards of education may pay for the transportation of children to school, when such may be for the best interests of the school.
2d. That boards may be permitted to pay more than $5.00 a day for expert service for institute work. Past experience proves the wisdom 'and necessi,ty of these changes.
3d. That some fixed requirements be made of institute conductors, land that persons applying for work of this kind be required to exhibit a license or testimonial from the State School Oommissioner, or some aU'thorized person.
4th. That the time for the annual instItutes be extended,

and that more definite work done and results sought by examinations, etc. That combinations of counties in these be

more effectually carried out.

5th. I extend by congratulations for the splendid adminis-

tmtion of our schools given us by our retiring chief schOOl

executive.

.

UPSON COUNTY.-HON. R. D. SHUPTRINE, C. S. s.
In reply to your circular as to the pressing needs of the school system in our county, I offer the following remarks:

39
One great drawback upon the succe.ss of some of our schools is the choosing of unsuitable teachers by the patrons becaust of relationship and other influences. Sometimes patrons, whQ otherwise would make a wise selection, submit to be imposed upon by a few, for the sake of harmony.
I think it W'ould be wen for the law authorizing county boards to assign te'achers to the public schools in their counties, to be made plain and unmistakable. Then the boards could use discretion in advising with the patrons of the school, and assign the teachers chosen by them-using their arbitrary power only in cases where the good of the community demanded it. In my opinion, such a law would have a mOTb beneficial effect upon the public school system than an increase in the annual appropriation for that purpose. This wou1d give th8 children the full benefit of the money paid by the State for their education, instead of wasting it on incompetent teachers.
WAL,],O~ COUN'.rY.-HON. w. S. WALKER, C. S. s.
1st. Our needs in Walton am a longer term than our present term of five months.
2d. A better grade of teachers. 3d. More teachers. 4th. Better paid teachers. 5th. A graded system for county. All of this requil'esan increase of funds, and with the increase all of the above needs will be supplied. As it is, we are doing nearly all tha't our means will allow. Patrons are, nearly all of them, depending entirely upon the State's appropriation.This forces us to employ only such teachers as we can get for the money, while they in 'turn cannot afford to teach longer than five months, and their salary must be supplemented by farm work, which oonsumes valuable time. Teachers, therefore, cannot spare the time for preparation and planning, which the best interests of the school demands. Our schools could be helped much by libraries, and in some places, by better houses. Many children do not go to school, and a wise compulsory law wouId meet a great need.

40
OTHER INSTITUTIONS OF LEARNING. In addition to the State institutions herein mentioned, we have a number of private a~nd denominational schools that are doing noble service in the cause of education in Georgia. It is a noteworthy :act that the utmost harmony prevails among our higher institutions of learning. While there is a generous rivalry, there is no cla,shing of intere&t nor jarring discords. Elsewhere in this report will be found such statement of tile condition and attenJdance upon these institutions as I have been able to secure. As a rule the heads of these institutions h:we ch~rfu]]y furnished all the information asked for.

OFFICIAL CIRCULARS.

ATLANTA, GA., December 17, 1901.

To the County Superintendent:

11y DEAR Sm :-The amount apportioned to your county

for 1902 is $

.

I am sending you herewith check for one month's payment

on ,account of 1901. 'rhe balance due your county on account

of 1901 will be paid ,about the middle of January. Let your

itemized statement, covering all balanoes due 'on -account of

1901, 'behiere not lalter than January 5th. It is important to

have 'all 'these claims paid as early as possible.

At the present moment nobody can teU how the payment",

will be made next year. If the decision of the Supreme Court

makes the Howell resolution legal, we will certainly be able

to make two payments next spring, of one month each.

Until !that matter is settled the treasurer cannot state defi-

nitely how much money will be available for paymeI1lt to the

teachers in the early part of the year.

We will continue to use Roark's Methods next year, and

in connection wi:t,h it the teachers will also study Shaw's

School Hygiene. This book can be had from the Southern

School Book Depository, Burgess Smith, General Manager,

Atlanta, Ga. You will find this School Hygie,ne by Dr. Shaw

a most helpful book for yourselves as well as your teachers.

T.he Legislature passed:a law requiring ,the teaching of Phy-

siology. I will send you a copy of the law as soon 'as the Gov-

ernor signs i"t 'and I can have it printed. 'Dhe teachers will

haw to be examined on Physiology a.nd Hygiene next year.

I will send you in a few days a supply of the new manual

and copies of my report to the Legisl'ature, together with all

the supplies you wiI: need for next year.

45
Wishing you and your board, and your people, a happy Christmas and a prosperous New Year, I am,
Your truly, G. R. GLENN,
State School Oommissioner.
ATLANTA) GAo) December 31, 1901.
To the County Superintendent:
My DEAR SIR:-I am sending you a copy of the law passed by the last Legislature in regard to the teaching of Physiology and Hygiene. You willobseTVe that 'the law is immediately effective. It will be necessary, therefore, for your board of educa;tion to adopt as soon as practicable a text-book that shall have special reference to instruction concerning narcotics and alcoholics and their effects on the human system. Boards of education that have not yet adopted text-books on physiology should make the adoption either at their regular meeting in January, or at the regular meeting in February.
Permit me now to call your attention to a matter worthy of our consideration, as we begin the new year. As you have seen in the papers, the f>chool system of our State' has been attacked by people whose purpose seems to be to damage the system if possible. These attacks have been especially aimed at the schools in the country. If we may judge by ,their utterances, our critics would tear down and utt,erly destroy what we have while they moe utterly barren of a single wise suggestion for the improvement of the system. You a,nd I know that the country 'schools are to-day in a condition infiwi'tely better than they have 'been since ,the establishment of the system. Our country schools frre by no means perfect, but they aTe gmwing better year by year. The county superintendents and CQun1y school boards have built more schoolhouses in the lfrst five years than were built in the previous twenty-five years__Th~~

46
rollmentof pupils in the country scho'ols last year was nearly '70 per cent. of the rural school population. No State in the South makes a bettel' showing than this for the rural school. The masses of our people in bhe country are 'baking more interest in the education of the children than ever before.
While all this is true, our rural schools are yet in the beginning of what they ought to be. We need more good schoolhouses and a longer term school and a better paid teacher in the country. It is not necessary tha't we should rail back at those who find fault with the country school; but it is necessary that we should look about us and see if we cannot make our country schools so satisfactory and so admirable with the means at our command, that our critics, even, shall find naming to censure. What I am especially anxious to see for the new year isa still greater educational revival in the rural school districts. Continue your educational rallies. Some of the most profitable meetings .over heM in Georgia ,verc held last year in those counties that bronghtthe people together for agitating a better school system in the country. The object of these gatherings must be to arous'c a stronger, healthier public school spirit, and to make converts, as far as we may be able, of those of our fellow citizens who do not yet see the value of the public school. A well-atteIJIded school, maintained in a good schoolhouse, under the direction of a capaMe teacher, is the best answer that can be made to all who cavil and compl'ain.
If you can secure a column in your county newspaper, fill that column occasionally with interesting facts that illustrate the growth of your school system. Let the people of your county know what yon are doing. The demand for all neieded improvements in our school system ought to come from the people themselves.
For myself. I have no ambition to serve except the ambition that fires me daily to plead for better schools for all the children. In the good province of God I shall try to make this the most useful year of my official life. I shall go forward

47
with more zeal and more courage and more faith in the ultimate triumph of what I believe to be right for our children .than I have ever had.
"Since God is God, then right is right, And right the day will win;
To doubt would be disloyalty, To falter would be sin."
Yours very truly, G. R. GLENN,
State School Commissioner.
MARCH 14, 1902.
lion. G. R. Glenn, State School Commissioner, Atlanta, Ga.: DEAR SIR :-On February 20th, at your request, I furnished
you with a hurriedly-considered opinion to the effect that section 1363 of Volume 1 of the Code of 1896, was probably broad enough to authorize a county board of education to borTOW money where, in the discretion of the board to do so, was "necessary to the efficient operation of the schools."
On the following day, after further investigating the matter, I expl'essed to you a doubt as to the correctness of this opinion, and begged that you would disregard the, s'ame for the present at least, and until I could take further time to consider it. I had at the time, as you know, some difficulty in reaching the conclusion that was expressed in my first letter to you of February 20th, but in the interest of the efficieney of the public schools, I was willing to solve that doubt in favor of the legality of the loan in question, but fully re'alizing tha!t it necessitated a very liberal interpretation of the section in question. Manifestly if such power were conferred upon the county board of education, it would greatly facilitate the elncierrt administmtionof the public schools and save the teachers from the almost ruinous rate of discount which many of them have to submit Ito in selling their salary scrips to local usurers for their daily sustenance during the interval

48
between the day O!'1 which their salaries beome due and thE' day when the school rund is available'.
But, as anxious as I have been to rest satisfied with the oonclmion first reached, I am unable to do so. On the contrary, the question having practically arisen in Warren county, my opinion was asked! and a fuller investigation led me to the conclusion that section 1363 of the Code did not confer upon the county boards of eduea'hon the authority to borrow money to pay the teachers. That section is as follows:
"The county boards of education shall have power to purchase, lease, or rent school-sites, build, repair or rent schoo1house, purchase maps, globes and school furniture, and make all arrangements necessary to the efficiellit operation of the
schools." * * *
If the county boards have the power at all, it must b derived from the last clause of the above sentenC'C quoted from ~C'ction 1~)'':3 of the Code. The power here g~ven to "make all arrangeuH.nts necessary to the efficient 0Qc!.ation 01' the ~d]Gol~," is, 1 think, to he confined to arrangements of tnp kind or class previously enumerated in said section, and will not be construed to embrace the very important power of borrowing money to pay 'teachers. It has been 'often held by our Supreme Court, that no public official can incur obligation!>. and bind the public by any contract, unless by express legislative authority. (82 Ga. 252; 103 Ga. 503; 104 Ga. 670).
Now, if the money was borrowed by the county board of education and a:c'tually spent in payment of the salaries of the teachers, I think the lender of the, money would have the legal right to sue for and recover the amount laaned, to b collected out of the school fund when received by the county board of education. This would be on the idea of money had and received and used by the baard for legitimate expenses of carrying- Q'Il the public schools of the county, and not by virtue of the legality of the contract or validity of the promissory note or other obligation evidencing same. (84 Ga. 213; 94 Ga. 488; 106 Ga. 702 Hnd 735.)

49
But should the fund, after being borrowed, be for any cause not actually used by the board in payment oithe teachers, then the lender could not subject the school fund for the payment of said debt, but the school fund, when received by the board, would have to be applied to the payment of the teachers and to meet the other expenses of the public schools. 'l'his is precisely what occurred in the county of Warren. After the county bO'ard had borrowed the money and deposited. it in the bank, the hank failed, and the money was lost before it was paid the tenchers. In the Warren county case I do not think that the notes given to secure the money borrowed are legal and binding obligations, for wani of power in said board to incur the liability in question.
In the Warren county case I have reached and given the following opinion, viz.: "The loan made by the county board of education not being nuthorized by law, the lender will lose it unless he can recover it individually from the parties making the loan. Whenever a public officer having charge vf public funds, deposit the same in a bank, and that bank fails, the ojfjc~r and his bondsmen are responsible for the money so lost, even though they believed the bank to be perfectly solvent, and acted in good faith in depositing the fund in said baille
Lamb v. Dart, 108 Ga. 602, h. n. 6, and at pages 609 to 614, inclusive.
But where money is illegally borrowed by a public official, that is to say, borrowed without authori'ty of law, and is lost, the bondsmen of the public 0fficer in whose hands it was lost, cannot be held responsible."
MasoCl. v. Commissioners, 104 Ga. 35, 'at pages 44 to 50,
both inclusive. I have. the hon'or to be,
Very truly yours, BOYKIN WRIGH'l', Attorney-General.

MAROH 25, 1902.
To the County Superintendent:
My DEAR SIR:-I am sending you an official opinion of the Attorney-General, which expl'ains itself. I will suggest o that your board of edueation adopt t,his plan in order to como ply with the law and avoid any embarffiSisment to your teachers. 1t the teachers make notes instead of the board of education. You can certify on the back of the note that the amount is due the teacher and will be paid out of your funds
received next falL I GO not think the banks will hesitate to
take these notes. If you make. the arrangement for all the What else is it that renders the wage-earning pawer of th6
teaohersat the legal rate of interest, it will save the teachers from paying usurious interests if they are forced to borrow money from people who have no interests in the te'achers.
Please answer the following and return to me at your earliest convenience:
When do you think our annual meeting should be held, in April, May of June?
(Place of meeting, as you know, is at Augusta). Will you attend the meeting?
Mention one or two topics that in your judgment we ought to discuss at th3)t meeting.
What day in what month will suit you bes1t for the annual examination?
Thanking you for a prompt reply, I am, Yours very truly, G. R. GLENN, State School Oommissioner.
MAY 26, 1902.
To the County Superintendent: The next general examination will be held June 14th. The
questions for the examination will be sent you as usual, under

51
seal, to be opened only in the presence of applicants for tl~achers' license on the day of the examilliahon.
On account of the 'addition of physiology to the subjects upon which the teachers must be examined, I have been compelled to decrease the number of question on a number of topics. The value of each question will be printed opposite the question. Tht) general average made by each teacher will be obtained in the usual manner.
To obtain a third-grade license the general average for the applicant mus't be 75; for second-grade license the general average must be 82.5, and for first-grade license the average is fixed at 90. To obtain a State license the average must be not less than 95.
Papers for State license must be sent to the Department of Education, not less than 30 days from the date of examination.
The law requires that separate rooms must be provided for whrteand colored teachers. You are authorized to employ whatever assistance may be necessary for the proper conduc~ of the examinahan.
I shall use the utmost precaution to prevent the procurement of copies of the questions on the part of parties who may be attempting to secure them. If you should detect an attempt on the part of any applicant to use questions fraudulently obtained, the examination must be declared void so far as that applicant or his accomplices are concerned.
Questions on theory and practice will be taken from Shaw~s School Hygiene. Teachers whose licenses have not yet expired, and teachers holding permanent licenses, are not required to stand the examination am account of the addition of physiology.
Yours very truly, G. R. GLENN,
State School Commissioner.

52
JUNE 12, 1902.
To the County Su,erintendent:
l\;fy DEAR SIR :-1 have learned through a negro this morning that certain negro teachers in the State have secured copies of the examination questions to be used on the 14th. I delayed printing the questions until Tuesday, so as to prevent a distribution over a large area in case any party should secure a copy. I used the utmost precaution, delivering the questions myself to 'the express company and to the post-office, after per80nal supervision while they were being printed. I cannot conceive, therefore, how a copy has fallen into anybody's hands.
I write this nou~ to urge you to eA'amine the package carefully and see if i"t has been tampered with. If any party has secured copies of the questions you can detect it probably in the answers.
I think it will be well for you to notify your colored te!achers at the beginning of the examination, that if you find evidence that satisfies you that anyone of them have seen 'the questions, their names will be given to every county in the State, and they will not be allowed hereafter to teach at all.
Yours very truly, G. R. GLENN,
State School Commissioner.
JUKE 17. 1902.
To the County SU[lerintendent:
My DEAR SIR :-A new Legislature will assemble at the Capitol in October. I want to present to thf, General Assembly a report of the school work, as far as possible, direct from the county superintendents. I beg, therefore, that you will prepare for me a statement that will fill from a half to three-quarters of a page of matter for the annual report, giving briefly what you think are the pressing needs of the school

53
sygtem in your county, and any suggestions that you think may be helpful to the Legislature. As there are one hundred and thirty-seyen counties and our space is limited, I a:m compE'lled to ask that you candense the matter as much as possible. I will thank you to attend to this as promptly as you can.
I enclose herewith answers to questions for examination on the 14th of June.
Yours Yery truly, G. R. GLENN,
State School Oommissioner.

JUNE 18, 1902.

To the Ordinary of

Oounty:

My DEA.R SIR :-1 find that you have not returned to this office dedimus showing that the members of the board of education of your county, elected by the grand jury, have taken the oath, and also taken up their commissions. It is absolutely important that these should be re'turned to this oifice in order that the records may be kept properly here.
Please return the papers at your earliest convenience. Yours very truly, G. R. GLENN, State School Commissioner.

JUNE 27, 1902.
To the Oounty Superintendent:
My DEAR SIR :-1 am sending you check for the balance due your county on account of the second month's payment of this year. We cannot get any more money until the taxes come in, in December.

54
Permit me to urge you to have as many educational rallies as possible in your county during July and August. There never was a time in the history of this Hbate when. the voice of civiliza!tion and the voice of humanity have called so earnestly to the people to open the way for the children. The people need to be aroused. They have lisrened to the voice of those who have abused the school system and tried tQ destroy it. We need now the eloquent tongues of a few strong men in every county who will cry aloud for the children. Take advantage of ,the summer vacation, bring your people together, find s'peakers who can speak for the schools and who can voice the cry that is already in the hearts of nearly seven hundred thousand Georgia children. The cry of these little ones is not a rar cry. It comes from every humble home in the State. A century of tremendous opportunities is cailing upon you and me to do the most and the best that can be done for them before it is too lare.
Yours very truly, G. R. GLENN,
State School Commissioner.

In 1497 an Italian sailor, John Cabot, accompanied by his son, Sebastian, sailed from Bristol, England, under the English flag, in search of a northwest passage to Asia. He landed on the American coast about Cape Breton, near the mouth of the St. Lawrence river. He explored the coast for a short distance and then returned to England. The next year Sebastian Cabot with a fleet of several English ships made a second voyage to America. He sailed along the coast from New Foundland down to North Carolina, touching- at a number of points but not penetrating any distance into the interior. On these discoveries and explorations of the Cabots, England based her claims to American territory.

IMPROVK\IENT OF SCHOOL GROUNDS.
The good women of the State have interested themselves in the improvement of school grou::J.ds. The Federation of Women's Clubs, witih :NIl's. A. O. Granger, of Cartersville, Ga., ~t its head, w'ill take up this matter actively during the coming year.
Mr. J. B. upham, of the Youth's Companion, has offered :premiums to encourage the teachers and children in undertaking this work. The cuts herewith presented, showing now simple and easy it is to improve the school grounds, have been kindly furnished by Mr. Upham.
1\lrs. Granger writes at follows: "The improvemc:nt of our schoolhouses should be a part of the educa'tion of our children. If they are 'allowed to see untidy schoolrooms or neglected school yards, they are by that sight losing the lessons of neatness and beauty which every life so greatly needs. Each school should have sufficient grouw', about it to give a large play-ground as well as a

school garden. In Georgia we are just awakening to this need,althoughthe schools in Europe and many parts of our own land, have had school gardens for a long time. There is no school in our State co small, or neighborhood so poor, that it cannot be made a bower of beauty, and if th children are awakened to an interest in the subject the work will soon be done.
The publishers of the Y01dh's Oompanion are now as~ sisting greatly in the work of interesting the children in this work by offering prints of valuable historical paintings, and portraits of distinguished Americans, to all schools which will improve their grounds.
If any of our teachers desire information on this subject or need advice about obtaining plants, bulbs, etc., the chairman of the Gard<?n-Valley Improvement Conimittee of the Georgia Federation of Women's Clubs will be glad: to give to them all the assistance possible. Addre'ss Mrs. T. M. Culbreath, Palme'tto, Ga.

76
The Federation 'has, through its committee and individual members, tried to create a desire for this improvement of our schoolhouses, and finds it an important part of the model school work.

LOCAL TAXATION.
Han. l\L L. Brittain, C. S. S., Fulton county.
In speaking upon the subject assigned me, I shall confine myself mainly to the question as it relates to the rural schools. The reason for this is apparent to us all. Year by year the towns and cities of our State have gone on establishing local systems until it seems fair to assume that even down to the villages these more populous communities, all over our State, will seHle the' question 01 good, long-term schools by local taxation. So far as they are concerned, it seems to be coming almost unanimous. It reminclis me ofa story tl1',rt they tell on old man Dunlap, of our town. During the race

\
78
between Colquitt and K orwood several years ago, he felt inclined to vorte for Colquitt, but was over-persuaded by his nephew, who assured him that Norwood was sure to be elected. You remember the result of that campaign-Colquitt carried nearly everything-50 or 60 thousand majority. Shorbly afterwards the old man met his nephew and said: "Look here Sam, didn't you tell me Norwood was going to be elected ?" "Yes Uncle; but you know people will diffeT, they won't always think alike." "IVell, Sammy," replied the old man, "they came mighty blamed near doing so this time."
But even though the towns and cities do all seem to think alike upon this ques!tion, it is by no means the case in the rural districts. In county after county a'ttempts have been made to supplement the funds appropriated by the State, with a local tax sufficient to give long-term school, only to meet failure in every instance. It is true, that four countiesBibb, Chatham, Richmond and Glynn, have long-term schools, but they were obtained by legislative enactment, the cities in these four countics not separating their interests, but joining with their rural brethren, and through the influence of their strength and numbers, this happy result was dbtained. In every other instance within my knowledge, the ci'ties and towns have not been wble ,to induce the rest of the oounties in which they were located to put their schools upon the same planes of efficiency.
CAUSES.
In seeking the causes for this very discouraging fad, it is not just to assign as the sale reason the indifference of the people in the country. That there is carelessness and apathy, and much of it there, is undeniable. But the main trouble, I think, is with t'he law bearing upon this matter. The first step required is to secure the recommenc1ation of two successive grand juries. That seems just and proper, as they are generally composed of the best citizens of the county, 'and are, or ought to be, men who have its real interest at heart. This

79
difficulty overcome, the next is to have a bill passed by the Legislature authorizing the election. The provisi'ons of the la:w are that two-thirds of those registered must vo'te for the bill before it can pass. For instance, if 1,000 persons are registered for 'a school election and 665 vote for the bill and. not one single ballot is ca,st against it, the bill ieS lost. Now, those of you who have noticed elections, must have observed that in most instances it is difficult to get two-'thirds of the registered vot,e to the polls for any measure. This being true, it is easily seen that the task of supplementing the State fund by local taxation is one that is practically impossible under the present law. If it had been designed especially to prevent the counties from securing local systems and doing anything more than standing with hat in hand and with trub pauper spirit receiving the sum doled out by the State, it could hardly be more effective. I have been told that this was its object and that the author of the bill boasted after its passage that he had "locked the door of the treasury and thrown away the key."
DRAINS 'fHE COUNTRY.
I cannoit say with certainty about this latter, but I do know that among the causes that have operated to drain our country districts of their ycry best people, the almost hopeless prospect of securing good, long-term schools, is easily first. Last September 1,000 families moved into one of our large cities for this reason. We know there must have been unwillingness, and even sorrow, at the thought of leaving the old homel'l for the crowded apartments of the city, but the thinking people of the St'ate are 'seeing with more and more distinetneeSs that there is little chance for the uneducated child in the years to come, that his pathway to success is far more rough and difficult than the one pressed by the feet of his better trained competitor, for this is an age that will bear with no contempt for education. Unfortunately for U8, we have too many men

80
in our rural districts who are stoop-shouldered and bowlegged from the accumulated weight of their great practicality (socalled), who do not believe in much education, and it is their influence 'that is depopulating our fmms and driving the best blood of the State to our towns and cities. '1'00 pi1'rsimonious to tax themselves a penny for the training of their children, they arc disposed to carp and complain at the wealthier and more progressive C'o11lmul1'ities, too blind to see that the very progress they so much envy is promoted lmd largely produced by the liberal spirit that is willing to go down in'to its pocket and empty tne purse into the head of the child. For education does increase earning ability as the more prosperous States of this Union have long ago discovered.
GIVES POWER
\Vh1at C'lsc is it that rende,rs the Wiil.ge-carning po,weT of the man in }fassachusetts just twice as great as the man in Georgia? Have you ever considered the fact thwt in those States of this Union where there is the greatest ignorance there you will find the wage-earning value .of the man thl least? The laborer, or hand, as the world has correctly called him, who is able to dig a di tch i.s worth perhaps 50 cent::, per day; train him until he knows something of the laws of orainage and is able to think for himself without reqllring constant direction and he is easily worth twice as much; train him still further, until he knows the laws of surveyillg or civil engineering, and his service:s command just as readily five dollars a day, or mOTl'. A ton 0: iron is worth $20 per ton; made into horse-shoes., $80; into knife blades, $200; into watch springs, $1,000; that is, raw pig-iron $20, and brain power $980.

EXCUSES.
With the excuse that we are Itoo poor to educate our children, we have let them grow up in ignorance un'til the South is an object of pity for the English-speaking world. We are too poor not to educate our children. If you plead with the average fi'lrmer for a local tax you will be met wirth several excuses; one is that five or six months is long enough for the child to aHend school during the year; yet, if you consider that with the tong vacation of seven months the child must forget much of what wa's learned during his short stay at school, it is easily seen that much, even of this short period at the beginning of the term, must be taken up by the teacher in rendering the child as well fitted for going on with his work as when the term closed. The city child receives mental training for nine or ten months, ,the country child for four or five. Is it a matter of surprise then, that the parent who has the interest of his children at heart will move to the town at almost any sacrifice?
Anotller excuse put forth is the negro question, the fear lest the money derived from taxation may be applied to their education. I sympathize wi/tll. this feeling and have aIrways wished that the taxes of the two races could be separated, and that the ,receipts derived from negro property could be applied to negro education. But this fear, that has been mentioned, is groundless. The salaries and number of sc'hools can easily be regulated so that justice could be done to both white and black. Even if this were impossible, we should not allow the Anglo-Saxon children to remain in ignorance on account of the selfish fear that we might help edueate thb negro. The truth is, these people on whose brow God has himself set the seal of humility, are already taking much interest for tl1emelves in this dawn of educational interest that is breaking in the South. In some places they are even establishing kindergartens, and this reminds me of a little
6 Be

82
story I heard about t11em a few days ago. One of the tBachers was trying to rteach a little pickaninny by the name of Polly to read. She had a book with pictures and the wOl'ds printed just below. Polly spelled with great facility o-x, ox, b-o-x, box, as long as she could see the pictures, and seemed to be making rapid progress. But the teacher finally purt her hand over the picture so tha't only the wOi'd would show and said,. "Polly, what does o-x spell? " "Ox," said Polly quite readily. "How do you know thati t spells ox," said the teacher? "Case I seed his tail," said Polly, triumphantly. ':f'he negroes are making rapid progress in education, and this ought to furnish us the greater incentive to see that our children have every possible chance. Do you know that the negro colleges about the ci'ty of AHanta, through Northern money, have more wealth and more endowment than all three of the leading white insbi,tutions of the State combined? Let our Northern friends continue to pour in money for their education. To this we have not the slightest objection, however much we may deplore their t1aste, or hlckof it, but this should incite us with greater zeal toward the uplifting and training of tht Anglo-Saxon race, in the province of God t'he heir to this proud land. To that race belonged the giant warrior who fell upon the sands of Palestine in the crusades, with his red blood welling over his corselet, and his two-handeq battIesword shivered to the 'hilt. It is the race which the bloodstained Vll.lkyrs, the war maidens of Odin and Thor summoned to the halls of Valhalla; which drunk with the wine of battle, reeled around the battle standard of Norman William at Senlac; which fought with Richard the Lion-hearted; broke the old guard of Napoleon at Waterloo, rode with tne light brigade at Balaklava, and danced like bridegrooms at a marriage feast up the stony heights at Gettysburg, the race of the hero and the wanderer, the inVl.'TI'tor and the statesman.
"The knighrtliest of a knigtly race, Who since the days of old,
Have kept the lamp O'f chivalry Aflame in hearts of gold."

83
RE:UEDY-(a )T'HE LEGISLATURE.
L,et us organize our forces and work for the uplifting anci ,advancement of our children (lost dhild-prairie). Since tlle laws under which we are compelled to work are hopelessly inadequate for removing the course of ignorance, let us have tllilem changed so that the Empire State of the South may be lifted from the low rank, educationally, she has had fo'r yeaTS in the sisterhood of States on account of the illiteracy of so many of her people. She has made improvement, third front the bottom of list some years ago, she now holds the fifth plaee, but with forty-five or more above her there is much work 'ahead. If the Constitution of ,the State is at fault and stands in the way, blocking educational progress, surely the' I~egislature will provide a remedy for the situation. I do not believe we can eyer go much further in the way of direct State appropriation, nor does it seem to be the wisest plan. Let the law be changed so as to encourage by eveTy possible means, the counties to meet the State half way. If the vote
upon school extension could be fairly and squarely upon the question at issue, 'without any such provision a's requiring two-thirds o,f the registered voters, it would mean much for this cause. In his lam annual message the governor made a recommendation that no county should receive any part of the State appro.priation until it should have raised at least 40 per cent. of the amount to which, under the present law, it is entitled. It seems to me that it would be better to modify the iron-dad restrictions in the wa,y of local taxation, make it less difficult for the conn ties to secure this blessing, and thus induce, rather than threaten, in owler to gain ,the end desired.
But it matters little as to methods; the duty that faces us is
to provide a t least nine man ths school ing every year for our children.

84
REMEDY-(b) THE PEOPI.JE.
Of -course, we must go back to the power that creates the Legislature. If W.3 rail to realize the responsibility and to do all we can toward making the people see the necessity for increased school facilities, we are not doing our duty. The great majority of our fellow-citizens in the rural districts would like to do as fhey did before the war, and it is difficult to make them see that the busy world has moved on, that tihe most prosperous States, tawns, cities, and in many instances, ,counties, look with a feeling of half pity and half contempt upon the community that is satisfied with an ungraded, unfurnished school for four or five months in every year. The Southern Educational Board publish figures' showing the progress of education in the United States during the last hundred years. In 1800 there was an average of 82 days for each person; in 1860, 430 days; in 1900, 998 days. If we separate the eleven Southern St;rtes from their sisters, their average for 1900 is 433 days. Thus we see that in educational advantages the South is just where the whole country WilS forty years ago. Our people are conservative, hard to move from long-accepteil. notiom, but the duty devolves upon our educational leaders to arouse them to the true situation of their children as compared with those of other sections.
DISCUSSIONS ON LOCAL TAXATIOX.
;\[r. II W. Wooding: I didn't think much that I wouH have anything to say during the progress of these meetings. I never hear that di,scussion, J never hear a paper read on the subject of local taxation, and I never hear a speech .made on that, but what implies a doubt of the success of our present system of public schools in this State. I don't know that it is intended by anyone as a reflection upon any commissioner in the Stlate of Georgia, but it is an implication against you and me, individually.

R5
Now, I know that our schools are not what they should be; 'but if the schools in Banks county are not what they should be, I sh0111der the responsibility for it. I consider it a re~ flection upon me, personally, w'hen they tell me that the school system of Georgia is a failure. I am supervisor of the Banks county school system, and if it is a failure in Banks county, I shoulder the responsibility, and if it is a success, I claim the credit for it. It belolligstro no other man, except myself, backed up by the good judgment of the men who compose-our board of education. It is the duty of the citi, zen to support the g'tate.
I have the lltmos't respect for the opinions of anyone or any man on any subject, and I accept them without criticism. I d'On't oppose local taxa'bon; but I say, that when it is made to occupy the position it does, it is a personal reflection on every commissioner who thinks that his system is a failure. 1m Richmond county, as mentioned by Brother Brittain, in the city of Atlanta, in Bibb county, and perhaps one or two other counties, local taxation has the day; and I never have thought of comparing my schools in Banks county, if you will excuse me, with the schools of these counties.
I believe that .it has always been in every convention that I have attened, held up to us as lights to guide us to the very highest position to be reached in our public school system, and it should be held up t,o liS,. as examples.
I don't deny it; I believe these gentlemen have worked up a system that ;~ a credit to every ma'l, woman and child in their counties. I tell you, they would take it as an insult if I would tell anyone of them that he was not responsible for the perfection that has been reached in his educational work. They don't have local taxation in either one of these counties that I have heard of.
I always have believed, and always will believe, that, in order to appreciate anything, we must share the respons'ibility, and pay it. It must cost us something. Unless it does cost us something, we regard it very lightly.

86
I believe in local taxation; but, if a man has got five chil1iren to go to school, I say, tax him out of his own pocket. In the providence of God, I haven't a child to send to school; but I expect I pay-and I don't say it in self-esteem-I expect I pay as much tuition as any man in the State of Georgia; because, under no circumstances would I allow a child within reach of my purse to go without an education.
Now, Mr. Chairman, take the schools of Banks county and weigh the'Ill in the balance. If they are found wanting, the responsibility is on my shoul'ders; if anyone is entitled to any credit, I claim that credit. The success I have reached in the schools of our county has been done by the individual taxatior: of our people.
I am one commissioner out of many, perhaps, who, under no circumstances will sign a contract with any teacher-if I remain a commissioner for a hundred years-who is going through the country teaching for what the public pays. I want te:achers who are perfectly willing to go down into their pockets and have self-taxation for the purpose of elevating the system of schools that we have done our best to establish.
Mr. Gwaltney: I heard an old friend once tell ofa young fellow that went to a Baptist 'conventi~m. He sat behind him. While the discussion was going on the young fellow started to get up several times, and could hardly keep his seat. 'The ather fellow tapped him on the shoulder and said, "My young friend, you p-ave got something good to say, but now you just wait a while longer, and somebody will say it for you.", That is the way i't is with me. I didn't want to take part in this. I wanted to let you do the talking.
I believe it is the biggest thing for us to think about. I "believe it ought to take the same definite turn that 'our library discussion took this morning. There never has been a meeting since I have been coming to this body that has been so full of inspiration as that this morning. I believe there are a
great many here who ,think like myself. I know one thing about myself, and that is, that I have hardly struck the first

87
rung of the ladder that I hope to see my country climb before me.
We may talk here from now until all of us are gray, but until we get the moral courage to go before our counties and tell the plain truth about our schools, Georgia will never be what she should be. How to get at it exactly is what we come here for. I have pressed the matter of local taxation upon the attention of every grand jury in my county for six years now, except one, one would pass it and the next wouldn't pass it, and so on; and sometimes I could get two to pass it.
I think Brother Brittain struck the heart of the question when he said that the grand jury is compoSd of older men and property-hoLders, whose children have been educated by the men themselves, and they are opposed to anything that will touch their individual pockets pretty heavily.
Thosl' two things constitute what is a fact about the state all this local taxation. When Brother Brittain talks about Germany, her power as contrasted with others talked of, I am thankful of one thing. "Vith the account of the celebration in Spain is an account of the opening of the first free school in Spain. I felt that there was hope for Spain when I read that paragraph.
I disagree with Brother Britt-ain on one question. He doesn't believe in compelling anybody. There are a great many things we don't want to do in this world; but I know that there are certain things which never will be done unless men are forced up to it. If a man is unlearned enough not to appreciate tihis question as he should, what is the harm in putting a premium upon those pe.oplc who do tax themselves.
J think that this will be a red-letter day in our history. I owe Brother Wooding so much respect that I hate to disagree with him upon anything, but I ean'tget enough in my county to supplement the schools. I wish we could depend upon the supplementing of this fund by the individual teachers.
Arwther thing: He says that the State must be supported by the people. We all admit it. But here we are, working

88
to develop her small individual citizen in such a way as to get citizens who will make this State what she ought to bli. In order to save the State itself, you must educate the children of that State.
So far as the negro queution is concerned, I think it had better be left as Brother Brittain suggests: to the commissioners themselves.
Let us do something that will s'how in clear and unmistakable terms that the Convention of County School Commis~ioners of Georgia are not opposed to local taxation. Let us put oursE'lves on record in such a manner as will settle this question forever. Don't let us come here forever, and discuss this question, and do nothing about it. Let us put oursj?~vu on record here this afternoon as a body who are in favor of local taxation, and talk to the people until He eventually carry it. I expected it to take ten years to settle this quc:ition, anli it looks like it is giong to take fifteen or tw-enty.
Tell the people the truth about the schools. It;" said th,\ t !]. certain man in running for the English Par1i:i\1wJlt \n, S asked in a meeting of the laboring people, whether he sajd that the majority of the laboring people were liars. "''i"Ct, indeed," was the reply. Instead of a hiss, a hearty cheer W;l, me response. And so by telling the truth in the teeth of what seemed to him opposition, he actually won the race. And s) by telling the people fhe truth about our schools, instead of congratulating them, the cause will prosper in our State.
Mr. Walker: In order to put this in proper shape, I beg leave to move the appointment of a committee of as many as shall1\eem proper, to report not later than to-morrow at noon. Let this matter be referred to the committee as the other matter was, and let the committee tell us what we are to say to our grand jury when we go back,lind give us authority to act in the matter.
Mr. Duggan: I believe we started at t'he wrong end. IVe started before the grand jury. My idea is that the place b go is before the people, and create a demand before the ppo-

89
pIe, first of all, and then get it to the grand jur.Y. Sometimes we get two grand juries to pass it, and the people do not want it. The people are the proper court of appeal, and we mu,:; of necessity go to them. We had better make the people li,.d decide that they want local taxation and then go before ~h~ grand jury.
I want to say rhat I have not been able to have ~he ,Uc,;";;" that Brother Wooding has had in respect to lengihflll;Jg' tlle time of the school by private subscription. The reJult of IllY trial has been this: That when the public term was over the private term began, and when the school opened, the teaeher found that she had some pupils who had been to school nine months and some who had been only five.
Another thing that pulls down thQ schools is to jew down the teaeher. T'here are other counties besides mine that have, this. There is no policy that will ruin our schools quicker than to jew down the price of the te'acher. I am in favor of liberal pay to the teaehers. Very few teachers in Georgia get more than they are worth, and if you want good teachers you will have to pay them.
Resoll'ed, That it i~ the sense of this Convention that the. State school fund should be supplemented by local taxation in order that th'2 present school term may be lengthened, and that the schools may be made more efficient, and believing that much practical difficulty exists in securing local taxation under the present law, we urge upon the Legisl'ature of oUr State the importance of such a revision and amendmen t of the present school law concerning local taxation as will remove these diffieulties and render the law more truly operative in the real intereit of edycation.

.Mr. Wall: I hope that resolution will be voted down. I can't see why we should be clamoring for more money ane. more itimQ when we carr'it pun our schools in the mquisiite dasses more tihan nve months to save our lives. I believethe law is right where it ought to be, with t'he people and with the grand jury.
H they want local taxation, why, let them have it; if they don't want it, why, let us let it alone. I wish the facts were so we could have a nine mOliths school everywehere. I wish tc ::;ay that I shall vote against that resolution.
Mr. Wooding: When I said our school run nine months, 'Ilid when I said I puid nilie months tuition, I meant to ;;;ay that the school at Maysville run nine months.
I want to agree with what our Brother Wall slays. I believe it is impossible, if T had a million dollars, to run a nine months school all over the county.
I am not opposed to local taxation, but I am opposed to any further appropriation for public schools. I am in fa,'or of the State of Georgia dividing the appropriations; let the county take one-half and the State will take the other. I am opposed to 'any further appropriation to public schools of the public property fund.
Mr. Duggan: Brother Wall, can you educate the children of your county properly in 'five months' time?
Ans. We cannot, sir. Ought they not to he educated? Ans. They certainly ought, sir. If thfY can't be educated in five month, ought not the time be lengthened? Ans. When I tell you, sir, that those children cons:tiblte a large per cent of the ]a'boring class, I tell you a fact tha: you can't get around. The white folks of Elbert ceunty are p00r people. People are in debt there, buying everything they live on. I will say this much: ,that under these present crcnmstances, with the five month:::' education and the industrial leatup, we can make men and women out of those boys and girk

91
Dr. Thomas: Brother Wall, you simply object to the change in the present law; you are not opposed to local taxation.
Ans. Not at all, sir. 1 know that your ",ords carry a great deal of weight, and if you don't give a rea'son, a great many people will go with you who, if you gave a rea&on, would go the other way. I want it to be clear just where you sband on the matter of local taxation. You don't object to local taxation, you simply object to a Change in the presQnt law? Ans. I believe in local self-government, the highest type of government on earth. I don't object to local taxation, but I dOlit want you to hind anything on me that will cause my people to think I am blind to the conditions at home. I believe the law is right where it ought to be, and it is just what it ought to be, and just like it ought to be. I just want to S,ly this: We got up an educational rally in our district, which ~ou heard of, of course. We appointed a day and dinner, and got the people out, and the consequence was that w'here we had about one ten months' school running before, if I mistake not, there are now nine running ten months in our county. Mr. Walker: Let me explain the resolution. It was not to ask for a law, but simply to formulate the opinions of this meeting, so that tihey could be presented in some definite shape, and if you don't want local taxation, why, say that in the r,?s;ljlltion. Chairman: The object of the appointment of this commit tee is to find out if, in the judgment of the committee, a war may be secured by which those counties that want beal taxation Cll' senue it. 'We C1om,,! change the lai'!. of course; we can oniv .1,k tIle Legislature. We simply want this committee to bring in a recommendation that will allow any school district in Georgia that wants to, to have local taxation, to have the privilege of doing so. We want something that will give us authority to ask for such a change in tfhe law if we want it.

92
Mr. Bagwell: Thc country people cannot, by any means under the present law, have local taxatJ.i9n, but I think this law ought to be changed. If we want local taxation, let us have it. Let the majority of the people say whether or not they want it. It is impossible to secure it under the present law, as Mr. Brittain stated.
I believe in the majority of the people ruling. Ask the Legislature to changoe this law so tnat the majority of the people of any county can vote on local taxation; and it seems to me we ought to have the right to secure local taxation it we want it. It is certain we never can have local taxation und"r the present law.

LIBHARIES FOR RL:RAL SCHOOLS.
:Mr. President and Gentlemen: It gives me real pleasure to appear before you this mom-
ing to present tke question o,f rural school libraries. I know th'at I will 'have a sympathetic audience. I kn'ow that each of you is anxious to do what you can for the betterment of the children of your county. To my mind, there are few things that will do more for the be,tterment of the school and the enlightenment of the people than the school library, and I shall try this morning to present this quesrion in a practical way, and to offer 'a few suggestions as to the future.

93
Mr. Van Dyke, the great preacher of the Presbyterian church, said the adler night that there were three arts which the teacher should learn and teach: The art of seeing, the art of reading and the art of thinking. The first awakened, the seeond enriched, and the third elaborated it. The world of nature and the world of books comprise the first two art~. At first, to the child all is mass. Gradually the infant picks out, by discrimination, this object and that object, and that. He recognizes 'his mother, he recognizes his brothers, and the things in the room. 'These are picked out of the mass, and soon the neighborhood and its whole life is but a picking out of this great mass of nature. The individual w'ho is seeing things when his eyes and ears cease to give him powl;r, may turn to the microscope and delve deeper into nature's mysteries, or take the telescope and look at the beyond and see things beyond the world of nature.
'Then we come to that other world-the art of reading. And Van Dyke did not mean by that merely learning to rea.d, buL 'he meant that ability and that taste for books-that love for books which goes with a man through life. Witih that world we take in all the past. A man without the love of books and without access to books, can know no more than those about him can tell him, or than he himself can see and hear; but with boeks he can project his life a thousand years back, aye, four thousand years back, to the very beginning of time. Hu can dwell with &11 men and have them for his companions.
Oh, the isolation of our Georgia rural boys and girls! No companions but those a1bout them--no eyes but their own; no books to bring them in touch with the past. They tread the dull, even monotony, of rural life, with nothing to lift them out of themselves into a higher world. N a books! They have learned to read, but have nothing but the county paper or a book 'bought from a stray book agent. Nothing! And thus they go on through life.
Out clf all the boys in my college, I asked last week how many had access to books before they came to college, and

94
there were just one-eighth of them. How eagerly they devour these hooks, these masterpieces, when they come to our college libraries, and how they say, oh, that I had had these books when I ,,'as younger! Books that he ought to have read at seven or eight years of age, reading at eighteen or twenty. 'l'he world of books!
The art of thinking' comes in proportion as tlhe boy has learned the art of seeing and the art of reading, and only in that proportion. He thinks only as he has seen and as he has read. No wonder there iot; so little thought and so litHe produetionamong our boys and girls, when they have seen so little and read so little.
Lew Wallace said, the other day, in answering ehe question of what was the oause of the great literary revival in the great "Hoosier State," that it was the direct result of a determination on the part of those "hoosiers" to get rid of that phrase. He said "we 'were called 'hoosiers' all over America, and we decided to plant a schoolhouse in reach of every boy and girl, -and puta library of good books in each and eve'l'y one," and he said, "this literary awakening is the result of the reaaing that came and the inspiration that came from those libraries and schools in every hamlet and in every sehool in Indiana." You cannot learn the art of thinking unless you have learned the art of reading and the art of seeing.
N ow, gentlemen, how is it in the other States? Let me call your attention to 'a few facts. In 1900 the report of Commissioner Harris shows that the eleven Southern States have one library to every 36,600 of its people, and that we spent in our college libraries in all, during 1900, but $100,000 for boo'ks, while the United States spent $2,000,000. On, how we are starving these boys and girls! There aTe but 1,172 libraries of 300 volumes and over in the Southern Sta tes. These are largely in the colleges. Now, let us see what the other States are doing. Alabama and Arkansas are doing nothing, aceording to Mr. Harris' report. No law-no effort. Arizona gives $50 to every district that has 100 chil-

95
dren in it every year for books for the school bbraries. Californiahas a district law, and gives annual contributions t(} the libraries; so does Colorado give one-tenth of a mill of its taxes to its rural school libraries. Connecticut has a district law. Delaware is doing nothing. Florida nothing. Georgia nothing, except by private contributions. Idaho has a law allowing the commissioners to give as much as 25 per cent. of the school fund to libraries. rrhat is too much, of course. Illinois gives an amount not to exceed two mills. Indiana fromone-fom!th to three-fourths of a mill on the dollar of assessed valuation, for the support of li'braries. Iowa one mill. Kans'as an annual tax. Kentucky two years ago passed a bill allowing the commissioners to use a part of the money for libraries, one to be at the court-house in the commissioner's office, and then as much as $10 for each. school district, if the people would raise $10 themselves. As a result, in two years, every county has a local library at the commissioner's office, and there is a library for every 720 children in Kentucky, and onc book for cvery ten ehildren. Louisiana, nothing. Maine has a town l'aw. Ylaryland, $10 if the district school community will mise $10. Massachusctts, $15 if the district school will raise $15. Michigan has it in its constitution, that the Legislature shall provide for the establishment of at least one library in every township. Minnesota has a similar law. Missouri passed, in 1898, a law allowing the commissioners to withhold five cents for every child ellrolled in school, and appro}}riate that money for a library, if the community would raise an equal amount. Under that law, last year-tIl" first year it was in operation-the cun'.missioner writes me that they spent $16,000 for libraries in :YIissouri, averaging in value from $5 to $50, and he says there never was $1 G,OOO spend that paid as much. Mississippi, no law. Montana, a district law. Nebraska the same. Kew Hampshire the same. 1\ew Jersey, $20 the first year and $10 each year rhereafter. New Mexico, a district law. Nevada, nothing. Nt'w York must raise an equal amount, whatever-

96
it is. North Carolina last year ah:d the year before, passed a law appropriating $;;,000 from the State funds, to be paid out -$10 to every rural school that would raise $10. :lUI'. JayneI' told me the other day that the $3,000 was taken up in three man ths, 'and that they bought in North Carolina last year, 24,000 books and put them into the school libraries, and he says, "We propose to keep up that $3,000 a year until every school ,wl! every boy and girl has access to the best literature of the world.
A delegate: I live in Raleigh, and I kno'w of my own personal knowledge, that the amount appropriated by the Im;t Legisl'ature was $100,000 and not $3,000.
.lUI'. Stewart (continuing:) 1 am glad to know of the change from $5,000 to $100,000. 1\ort~ Dakota has a district law. Ohio appropriates, not to exceed $75,000. Oregon, a i1iscr-iet law, not exeeeding $.;0 in districts receiving $100 or over, from the common school fund; in districts less than $500, ten percent. Pennsylvania has a district law. Rhode I51and two and one-half mills. South Carolina, nothing. Texas, notihing. Tennessee, nothing. Vermont, a district law. West Virginia, nothing. Wisconsin, ten cents for e'fcry child enrolled.
Thus we see, gentlemen, that twenty-nine States out of the union areappropriaiting money every years for the support of the rural school libraries; that nine Southern States and Arizona, Washington and Xevada, are doing nothing. The &chools of the North and \Vestare where the. $2,000,000 are being spent, while our boys and girls are st!arving for that literary food that it is their right to have.
r went before the Educational Conference Boaird, and
asked them to pass a resolution advocating rural school libraries in the Sonth, and they passed this resolution unanimously. I refer to the conference that occurred a few days ago in Athens. I refer t,o the Souther~ Educational Conference.
"The Oonference 'commends to all the State Legislatures the enactment of sllch a law as some have already enacted, au-

97
thorizing the use ofa small portion of the school funds for the stablishment of district school libraries wherever the citizens of the school districts shall subscribe a like amount for their maintenance."
I bclieve, gentlemen, the time is coming in Georgia for us to pass a law authorizing these c01mty school commissioner-:,. to spend $10 in each district on a rural school library if tlle people will spend $10. I do not believe a dollar should be spent until the people show they are willing to put up dollar for dallal', but I believe the people of Georgia will respond to such a proposition as eagerly as did the people of North Carolina or Missouri. To test it, I asked Mr. George Peabody to give me some money fOT rural school libraries in Georgia, and I have his reply stating that he will honor my draft for $500 to be given to rural schools of Georgia for libraries, $10 to each school, if the rural school community wiU raise $10, and furniah the library-case. rThe proposition is before you, gentlemen, and the $500 is rewdy. Are you willing to raise the other $10 and give the library-case? I tell you, we need to feed these people. There is no telling how much more Mr. Pea;body is willing to give. He is a Georgian, and he said: "I a,m astonished that you have done nothing in that 'line in Georgia. Your statement is amazing. Your report shows JOU have 300 rural school libraries in Georgia, and most of those are traveling." But, gen1tlemen, we must place a libra"!:''}' where the child and its f'ather can have the use of it all the year round. During the long winter nights he ought to be able to read, and in the summer, when there are no schools, he ought to read. The library should be there all the time for all the people of the community. Gentlemen, we must have it in Georgia. and it doesn't take any more money. It simply
means the appropriation of $10, and $10 making $.?O, to the
cistrict school-sometimes less, as the people grow i.::J. it forr:
i'" rurpose
Governor McDaniel told me the other day, that he believed :the use of this money, say $10 for the school library, would be
7 Fe

98
better for the 'Schools than to increase the school appropriation $100,000.
One more thought : Old Joseph, of the Bible, set 'aside during times of plenty and gathered up the grain into a storehonsel.. that the people mignt nat fitarve. I want you to go back to your communities and to your counties and gather up the knowledge of ,the past, garnered and treasured in 'hooks, for your ,children and theirchiMren and their children's children, tlhat they may not marve.
Is it not time that our Georgia boys and girls were reading Home,r, w!re conquering the Gauls with Cresar, or cleaning the Sta.te with Savonarola, or protesting with Lufuer against the injustice of ages? Is it not <time fb'at they were fighting bytJhe side of Sir Galahaid, Ithmt KnIght whose strength was as the strengbh of ten because his heart was pure? Should they not laugh with :Falstaff, and weep with Desdemona? Should they not sing the songs of Burns and tread aga,in the fields of chivalry with ScoU? Why should all this be a closed book to our children? Oh, the time has come when we must give to our children tlJ'aJt bread of life, and I appeal to you to help pass a law in Georgia th'at will make it certain that year after year we will have books, not dependent on :the charity of some lady or some gentleman, but that they 's'hall come as regularly as the sun shines forever, and afteragels will bless you as they did Joseplh of old.

CONSOLIDATION OF RURAL SCHOOLS AND THE TRANSPORTATION OF CHILDREN.
By M:. B. Dennis.
Consolidation is the order of the day. lit prevaiIs in almost every branch of our body politic. In its mLghty grasp it haMs the commerdal world and dictates to a helpless people. It, wiplds over the world of politics a scepter strong and unyielding. In its gigantic folds are held, as powerless and sub-

99
missive as a lamb, the professions of alm:oBt every name. In its aggressive strides revolutions aTe wrought and achievements wonderful accomplished. Its power is unlimited and its possibilities incalculable. As an engine of destruction, it is merciless and complete; of helpfulness, a blessing ard D, benediction. In the hands of zeal consecrated to public weal it becomes a wealth of blessing; vice versa) a curse 'as black as Egy't1ti an darkness.
First in importance, great stress fIlas been placed on the ~('hr,(lls of cities and the larger towns; next, on the village schools; and least of all, on the country schools. As a result, the two first have been developed to a degree far in advance of the rural schools. This is no more than might be expected. since tlw educational leaders reside in the towns and, cities. In these school systems they are personally interested, and for their thorough organization and full equipment they labol' and spend their substance. "-- In consequence of grealt aggregation of pupil's and schools in cities, s:ystem and organization" are of special impor,tance; to secure which, the best talent is demanded. 'These great central educational systems .bec9me active rivals, a,nd even among the individual schooJ!s, sharp campetiltion exists. As a result, the besit and most progressive methods are sought after and employed, and the town and city systems are thoroughly organized and are constantly improving.
"At once it wi>ll be seen thalt such a condition can'tlot exist in any of its parts, nor ini!he whole, in the rural schools as they are now organized. They are separated 'and isolated by sp'ace, and are conducted or managed as the worrk oif Slingle individuals. There is not, and cannot be, any aggregation of those who 'conduct them. They cannat be constituted into an organized 'aggregation of individuals moved by the sympathe~ic touch of one common hand and guided by one master head.
"'I'he rural scHools are pure and uniadulterated individualism. Each smool and its teacher stand upon their own

100
'merits or demerits, land each is very feebly, if at all, influenced by anyone of ,the many or few neighboring schools and teachers. The country dirSt'rict school, so far, in our State systems of education, on the whole, is as pure individualism as 'We find 'anywhere in our highly organized society. Hence these schools cannot in the very nature of things, produce such results in organization as fue sC'hools of the towns and the dties. There is a lack of inherent po,wer, and ever-present inability and incapacity to aggregate the forces engaged in the work. Rural schools cannot command the talent an'd ability of such educatoTrS as are needed to push the question ofbheir needs and their imporitance before the educatiooal world, and thereby in the end secure i:lh.at organization so much needed in order to make them as great and as efficient as the town and city systems of sdhoolrs.
"Each country school-teacher is in himself all and in all. He is primary teacher, firm-grade teadheT, second-grade teacher, 'and the others up to the eighth. In :flact, he is the teacher of all grades, and the superintendent added. He is the bottom and the top of his whole school organizatilon. In teachinganld government hel is a.jack of aU trades, hence pe!I'fect in none. No man wh'o is' required to do so many thrings successively can be efficient in anyone. I t is a 'Wonder how well he succeeds under such adverse conditions, handicapped by such limitations as are imposed by our present system for ooe rural schools.
"It has been thoroughly demonstrated by every-day experience in s'ch'ool work, that the best results have been attained wherecon'dtitrons are such as to secure a thorough and definite organization among the ieachers in connection willi a like condition among the scholars. This is distinctively an age of aggregation of f'OTC'es to attain ends and produce the best am, largest results.
"Syndication is the watchword in all of the most successful manufacturing and commercial enterprises, and even sociial reforms. The great systems of successful enterprises

101
are the aggregated, even if space must be annihila.ted artificially or otherwise, and thus bringing parts of a great whole into a one-place organization -and single uniform mefuod for work. Each ilown or city school is a success in the proportion, and to the degree thtat it is thoroughly organized and managed by an efficient head. These ,school'S 'Owe their eminent ,success 'and efficiency 'to their organiz'ation and centralized management. Centralization is their talismanic wurd. Is it possible to have such an organizattion of the rural schools as has been attained in ,the bes't town and bes:t city sC'llools? Will the Widely diverse con'ditions of things permit a close and compact organization? Can the present and ever-remaining natural conditions of separation and isolation be overcome so las to bring :the rural popul'ation into a compact organized whole, and !thereby enable the country schobl popula:tion to be aggregated into single bodies with the'ir various Gommon centers? Yes! "rihe COUll'ty schools 'Can be, an'd in time will be. made just as good, and every way as eflicient, and the equal of the town and dty schools. Conditions land limitlati0'lls can be so changed from what they now are that perfect organization
will pc just as easy 'as it now is in the town or c'ity. But the
close and thorough lorganization of our rural schools into anything like efliciency under present coneMions of isola,uion anG pure individu'alism, is Ian impossibility. There must be a1; ways adequa,te cond'i'tions and means beforre definiite, certain and assured results can be produced."
WithouJt elabora:ting, Mr. Chairman, fm time will not permit, lallow me to hastily and briefly enumerate some of the most impoT'bant reasons why OUT rural schools should be consolidated and better organized:
1st. There :Us better grading of the sclHYols and more thorough classification of the pupils.
2d. Longer sclIool term will be demanded. 3d. It in!sures the employment and retention of a better ('lass of t<>achers. 4'th. It gives efficient management and work.

102
6th. It requires ~tter school buildings and better equipment in every particu}ar.
6th. There is inspiration III numbeI'!s for both the pupils and the teachers.
7th. The course of study can be expanded and spec~al studics inltrodITced.
8th. Farmers will remain on thei'r farms. 9th. 'rhe country boys an'd girls will remadn at tile farm homes. 10th. There can be high schools for the rural population the equals of other such like schools. 11th. U will afford an opportunity to pI'!o'Vide manual training schools, so much needed by iJhe farm boys. 12th. The rural schools are of special importance 'and none of more importance. 13th. The aMendlance is better, and tale boys ,slay in schools longer. 14th. Better and more constanrt 'supervision is secured. 15th. Pupils are benefited by a widened circle of acquaintance lUnd the culture resuliting therefrom. 16th. The whole community irs drawn together. 17th. Finally 'and conclusively, every argument, every reason, ewry nece!ss~ty and every other consideration which can ~)e given for the concentration of all the school population of a 'town or city into graded schools, 01' systems of inrtermediate graded '8Ohools, culminating :in highseh'ools, holds equally good and valid why the rural school,Eopulation should be alike congregated and aggregated into gmded schools. Effe'etive consolidaition of rural scho01s can be made possible only by trasporting to school children living beyorrd it certain distance.'rram;portation can be made fully effective only by the 'Sympa1thy and co-operation of the pe'ople. To secure t'his, 'Some education is necessary; some IliaI'd work and ptanlling must be done ;an educatiorual revivnl must be inaugurarted. The n\:lcessity of consolidation and transportaIt.ion of chi1-

103
drcn alt public expense is U'pOlIl us, and scyoncr or laier mus,t be reeognized 'and adopted. The ,sooner they arc ~dopted the bettN for schools and tIle children. It behooves uS,therefore, t'o agiifJaJte the question mrd preiss its claims before the public.
vhat are some of the leading advanrbages C'131imed for the tl'ansporrlation of children? Time, Mr. Ohillirman, will not permi't any elalhol'a'tion; I will :then have to ask tfue convention to be content wibh hare, brief sta,tements of these advantageiS. If opportunity pCI1mits, I will take up each advantage named and C1iscUiss them through the press.
1. The health of the children :is better, they being less exposed to stormy wea,t,her, and not compelled to sit aE dray in damp clotlhing.
2. Attenc]ance is from 50 to 150 per cent. grC'ater, more regnlair. 'and of longer conbinuance; and there is neither tardinE'SS nor truancy.
3. Fewer teachers 'are required, 8'0 better ones mJay be becured and better wages paid.
4. Pupils work in gradedE'chools, and both teachers and pupils are undersystema,tic and closer supervision.
5. Pupil1s are in better schoolhouses, where there ils better lighting, heating and Ycntilation, and more appliances of all kinds.
G. Better opportunity is offered for speci'al work in music, drawcing, nature stlldy, manual tI1aining, etc.
? Cost in nearly all cases is reduced. Under tIris i,:;ineluded cost and maintenance of school buildings, appamtus, furniture and tuition.
S. School year is lengthened. ~). Pupils are benefited by a wi'dened circle of acquaintance aIlll the culture resulting therefrom. 10. The whole community, the 'borders of which 'haTe beell widened,is drawn together. 11. Circulating libraries far the community are rendered more feasible. 1':. Public barges used for childre'l1 in the day time may be

104
used to transport their parents to public gatherings in the evenings, ,to lecture courses, etc.
13. Transpor,tat:ion makes possible the distrrbution of mail throughout tJhe whole county daily.
14. It secures swfety to the children in going to and from school.
15. Finally, by transporta1tion, the :lJarm aga'in, as of old, becomes 'the ideal pla,ce in which to bring up children, enabling them to secure the advantages of centers of population and spend their evenings and horielay tlime in the country in contact with n'ature and plenty of work, instead of idly loafing about toWIl,.
Some of the States in the Union that have tried the transportation of children with more or less success are as follows;
Connecticut, Florida, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Maine, Massaclmsetts, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Kew York, North Dakota, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Dakota, Vermont and Wisconsin. In almost everyinstarrce these States report better attendance, better service, money saved.
Several 'countie2 in Gorgia are experimenting Witil the transportation of children. '1'he following are the only ones I have 'heard of: Washington, Fulton, Mtlscogee, Greene, Twiggs, and possibly others. I am sorry I cannot report in deuU!il as to the service in these counties. In gene'ral, the work in each county h'as proven very satisfactory, both as to cost of operating the system and the quality of the increased service received.
We ih'ave never yet inaugurated the traspOTtation of cihildren to school in our connty, but we have successfnlly Te'duced the number of schools; and I can better illustrate the advantages of consohdabon by relating our experience.
1. Subdivision of county into school districts. 2. Reduction of number of white schools from .2.5 to 14; colored from 40 to 25. 3. The increase in length of term toSeYE'll montllS. -L The p3Jment of better !salaries to white teachern.

10.5
5. The employment of better te'achers. 6. The grading of the country ISchools. 7. The retention of our teachers for a longer period u f' time. 8. The adoption of a nine months' term by half or more of our country schools. 9. The employment of more th'an one teacher to many of our schools.
TRANSPORTATIOX.
lfr. Smith:
The paper we have just ~i5tene:d to is one on which I can on1\' give my experience. Last year we had four schools in ourdi&[,Iwl. One had an enrollment of 25 scholars, 'and all average of 22, a!t a cost of $150.00. Therc were two othel'S in fire miles. In the first we had 16 pupils enrolled, and 'an average atoondanceof 10 7-10, at a cost of $150.00. The other had no weather-boarding, and ~he window lights were brokep out. It was .twenty by 'sixteen feet, and had an enrollment of 12 pupils, and an average attendance of six and a very small fra'Ctiol1,at a cost ad' '$125.00, or about 20 cents a day. IntJhe 4th district, the people came 'together and 'before the board of education, and asked for a school for their district. They cla,imed they had 24 pupils, but we never could find but 22. The board of education helped them build the house and furnished it.
It was afterwards decided tlh'at we should drive the wagon6in ifJhat community. We bought a two-horse wagon at a cost O'f $85.00, and a set of harne,ss at 'a cost of about $15.00. And the 22 pupils that we :J1ound came in this wagon to thIS centr'al school, five milelS. I should say that there are over 83 , pupillS in the school this year. The twition is something over 7~ cents. The result has been that for five months we run nhe school at a cost of 71 cents a day for 420 days. We then agreed to run it three months at a cost of $25.00 a month.

106
The average at'tendance of ,the other 6chool was ahout 50 per cenit.; now, up ,t,o :the pmsenlt t.ime, it is 68 per Ce'lll!:. Then fhe 'COIst of running t.he four scllOlols was 20 cenJts, 191 cenlts and 12t cen'ts, making an 'average cost of 171 cents. The C06t now is 12t C'ents for the pupil and 7i fm theteac'her.
We had some difficurty in getting somebody to furnish tb,:, horse. They said you furnish the wagon, and now you furnish the horse. We told them, no, sir, that we would give it out by contract to any man who would bring the children for flv", .::ents a day. We h'a'd to clrange one of these wagons three times. The two~horse wagon is successfully run now by a widow lady, who keeps a horse to pl'rl\V her garden and go visiting. IVhen we 'alsked her to let her children go to the school, 8ihe said, "No, sir, they might flall OUt and break their necks." She was ~o well pleased with the wagon that when the man ,vIla had been running it quit, Ishe said, "I'll run it." She is very much pleased with the job, and says she will never give it up.
The children come in better shape than those who live in 300 yards of the school, and they go back with no wet feei, and don't have to come to '&chool in the we'ather and stay in all day with their wet clniJhes on. They come to Ischool making melody in their 'hearts; they come singing; and ,they g') home singing and making melody in their 11earts. Tilley like to go to school, and the a,ttendance is 30 to 35 per cent. better N1'aIn it was before we got :the wagons.
We have two wagons: a one-horse w1agon and a two-horse ,mgoJ1. 'T'hey are covere'd, and have seats in them. And we get better results now there is only one school, than we did when we had flour schools.
Major Jones: rrransportation is a success. We transport {lUI' children for a'bout a dollar a month, and carry them three or four miles. IVe have increased attendance, and our .children come regularly to school, and are therelby benefited ..

AGRICULTUHAL EDUCATlOX.
Chancellor Hill: President Elliott says that the object of education in the Demoeraltic Society is 'to lead the population to a higher plane of intelligence, conduct and halbit. Now, the popula!tilon of Georgia is, practically, an agricultural population. It would 'be within bounds to 'Say 'that :three-fourlhs of those who are en/gaged inoecupa'tions in Georgia are farmers. If that be true, it would be just as plain as two and two make four, and jus~t 'als 'true for us to say 'that the mDst important educational branch in Georgia is that of agricuHural (dl1eation. 1 have dlOsen that topic for my talk to-night.
Before discussing this topic, 1 'have two '8tatemen'ts to make thai: will at first seem to be 'conflicting. One is, that in coming before you to-night, 1 feel thoroughly prepared for my audieJ1lce. The other statement is, 'thait 1 didn't know until Jour o'clock on Sunday afternoon last, and that by an accident. that 1 was on the program of this meeting at all. It was only because Colonel Wooding and his good wife happened tOi'top a~t my home then, that 1 learned in conversation ,riih him that my name was on. 1 don'fknow, of course, how this happened. 1 am not mentioning it by way of complaint. 1 sUP110se our good secretary wrote me a letter and mailed it, andscJmeoneelse got my letter.
There has been so much taJk done on the subject of education, that has been the talk of the Democratic people, as one .Tohn Allen, who said he was talking for the farmers.
When a man goes to run for some public office he always lels it be ]mown as an inducement in his favor that he was horn on 'the farm. One of these fellows went to a man once in the .field, and he said to the farmer, "1 was raised rnysclf betweeen two rows of corn," and 'the farmer looked a~ him ,m'tl said "\Ve11, you air a punkin' ."
Before coming to the discussion of the subject, 1 confess to you Iny utter ignoraJ1!ce of it. When 1 sai<l 1 felt thor.onghly prepared for my audience, 1 meant 1 had the prepara-

108
tion of a:bsolul:e ignoraTIce. I hope this will be a thoroughly informal mectiing, and that I can get you to answer some of the questions I intend to ask you.
I am not ashamed to confess my ignorance since, as :l mait.er of course, I do not know how to handle this agricultural subject. I beg thOlse of you who are better acquainted with
me to help me 011t, by taking a genuine par,t in it.
I will begin with some propositions that may seem to be yeryconsiderably removed from !the sta'tement in hand. The reason why men have homes is due first to a biological fact, and second, to a sociological fact. If the child did not require its mother's constant care and presence, and if she could go about at will, as do the animal mothers, then there never would have been a home. If you go t'o the lowest, and simplest forms of life, you will find the child and offspring is within a very few minutes after its birth fully equipped to enter into i'tsenvironments.
Go from the lowest to the highest, and you will find nowhere in the world does the offspring have a long period of infancy, until you come to man, where the period of infancy required to develop the infant, has reached, not only t,he period of helplessness, but has actually reached the period of twenty-one years, because you know the law says that eyery child is an infant until he is twenty-one years 'old. It takes a1bout one-third of the life O'f a man to fit him to en'ter upon his environments. Now, if the human mother had been allowed as the animal mather, to pa'Ss about at will, and the infant had 'been as animal offspring, we can never say that there would have come a suggestion into the human life for a home.
God intended to put the parent into the only place that would make the human lire stable and not as the life of wild animals. With these preliminaries, we commence on our subject to-night.
AgricuNure was the earliest occupation of man. In that remote period before history began, agriculture was the only occupation of man. But man was not 'Stable. Hc was continually moving from one place to another.

109
After tha t came the pastoral occupahan; men became shepherds. But even in that they had to be continually moving aboU't to find new pastures for 'their flocks.
The agricultural stage was past, and the pastoral stage was outlived, and still man was a wanderer. What was it that 11rst bound him into one place, that made it necessary for him to be stable? It was agriculture. It seems to me that we <:.mght to take great pride in agriculture when we remember ,hat every part of the human life is dependent on it.
We are indebted to agriculture in some form, for nearly, if not quite, everything we have, and for life itseU.
I have divided the subject in vwo fmms: First, the child, and second, the country. 'l'hat is a very 'natural association of ideas.
.~ few years ago, Judge Bleckley, my wife and I were walking through a pass of woods, and Judge Blelckley turned to my wife and said, "You ought to buy this pass of woods for a boy pasture." And we did. I had, when I was a young fellow, the inestimaibleprivilege of a boy pasture. I am Slorry lor the youth who does not have a boy pasture. He is cheated out ()f the best part of his life.
We see a great movement of population from the ruml distriete into the cities. I am not able to give you the statis'tics. I never get a:ny information out of them. You don't know what 1JwO million is~ nor do 1. We know it is a large numL-t'I" and that's all we do know about it. I ~Jll~d HaggeI' your minds with the large number of citizens who have moved from the country into the whirl of city life.
One of the saddest sights I ever saw, or that we have to confront in this age, is to see a young girl, and I may say boys. holding positions in the city for which they get practically nobhing, and can scarcely make a support; strong, able-bodied men who, in t1he country, WOilTM be their dwn mas,tC1I1S, and would do work that other men couldn't do; and wDrk that will not only please them, but will help the State itself.
I wish it was possible to turn this flow back to the country

110
and help us to keep our farm boys in the country, and keep them from loafing around the city, which }vas led so mallY boys dk:>lwn ;into ruin, and away from the lig1J:t o:f God's face.
In aU the States of the Union, bills for the es.tablishment of colleges of agriculture were pas6cd in the year 1862. It was called the .Morrill Act, and aUached these branches of agriculture and mechanic art so as to promote the welfare a11<l practical education of the industrial classes in the several wcl1ks of life.
1'he only idea that Senator }Iorrill had-I am quoting from a speech made by himself-certainly the leading idea he ,had was to found in these States, colleges in which the mind would be taken away from Greek and mathematics and put upon agriculture and mechanics.
Those who are interested in these colleges began earnesth to give them some more specific and definite work, that will make them do even more Nlan it was contemplated they should do at the time this .Act was introduced by Senator Morrill.
In a great many States there has been an effort made to l'!'late the said college of agriculture and mechanics with the college schools.
Our children have got the idea that school is the place to learn lessons, and out of doors is the place to learn life. If we are going to educate them as they should be, we must get tha:t idea oult of their heads, nOlt by argument, but by living it out. They ought not to think a1bout school as the place to learn lessons, and out of doors as the pla'ce to learn life.
r heard the president of J.ohns Hopkinls tell of a yOUll'g man about eighteen years of age, who came to him and wanted to enter the class of chemistry. He asked him 'what reason he had to believe that the air had anythi'llg to do with the burning of the fire. The man looked amazed, and said he studied
certain books, which he mentioned, but he said, "r don't believe r remember anything about that." 'Dhe president had
" little boy about ten years old, and he said he thought

111
he 'Would ask him this question; 'and the boy said, "I never see you make a fire but that you make it in a chimney where the air can reach it, and when you want to make the fire burn you put the blower on," by which he knew that the air had something to do with tlhe burning of the fire.
T:his boy went off to school, and came back home one vacation, when he was about sixteen years old. And one day the idea struck his father to ask the boy that same question; the boy looked amazed, and said, "\Yhy pa'pa, we haven't had that yet."
That is the case of a mind that had actually been injured by 'his books. He didn't know what he knew when he was ten years old.
In some schools they ha:ve leaflets IWhich has some 8:tory on it. of birds or insects, and they give these fio the children to
take home with tlhem. I wish we could send va every school
in Georgia ,similar leaflets about Georgia biI'c1s and Georgia insects, and Georgia bugs and butterflies. I don't know whether that method could be tried in Georgia. I would like to know whether you think we could have this plan tihat is so admirably worked in olther places.' I would like you to have your opinion ready-made and to speak out.
Secretary: Some of the teachers in our county, for want of leaflebs of that kind, have been Ul8ing leaflets pre'pamd by BroHher B.
I don't know if our rural schools 'can ever introduce the study of agriculture, especially with the corps of teachers we have in hand. With such a corps of teachers you wiII see that 8uch leaflets coruM be used by any teaicher. This study could be made more useful if there were attached to the school a gaI'den in 'which some plants were gro:\vn by each pupil, which he would take pleasure in looking after.
I believe !that is true. The children could be made to learn these 'tlhings with which they come in daily cont.act, and we would not have so much moving froIll the country into the city. It is a question of affection. The child could have

112
small patches of earth in which vegetables could be grown, .and he would learn to love ~t; and the children would get a great deal of instruc'tion in botany and chemistry.
There have been some States (notalbly Pennsylvania) where i,t has been impossible Ibo dralw the son's of farmers initothesc colleges. They have accepted the Biblical way. of ge~ting them in. The college sen't out its agents over the State, and has gotten a great many men 'to come in. Several other States have tIried the same method.
In Wi'sconsin, which is one of the agricultural States, there have only been fifteen gradwates in the <;iourse of the last fifteen years. I will say, by the way, that in Athens we didn't
get but 'tiwenty young men to come; but while we didn't get
but twenlty to come, we got twenty to come. 'They got two months of agricultural education.
You may say a man can't learn a great deal in two month6. Well, he can learn now to learn a great deal more, and that is a very gre'at thing to do.
I thank you a great deal for your polite attention, and I 5hallijhank you a great deal more to-morrow if you wi'll kindly discuss this matter 'wi:th me.
Georgia is one of only four or five Sbtes in the Union that has failed to give anything, or to increase her donations to education, for the use of the College of Agriculture.
Oalifornia gave to her College of AgricU']ture $385,000; Georgia not a dollar; Wisconsin gave $210,000; Georgia, not ,3 quarter; Michigan gave $149,000; Georgia not a dime; Indiana, $81,000; Georgia not a nickel; South Oarolinla, $60,000; Georgia not a cent
Mr. M. L. Duggan: It seems tD me that it is a hopeful sign for the children of Georgia, when the Chancellor of our State University is interesting himself in their behaH.
I believe we ought to talk some more on this to-night. With ,our srchoolhon'ses we have lots varying from two to seven acres. I had an ide1a that the time would come when we could use :those lots. I believe that when the time comes that boys and

lUI
;!;'irl~ on the farm can understand how the plant grows, that farm work will be no mean drudgery to them, but will be a pleasure.
We all know bhat the welfare of any people depends very largely upon their children.
I ]J'ave just finished reading one of the books on nature that
is just from tihe press, although I have been very busy. When I pick it up, I can't lay it down.
It seems to me t'ha1t no boyar girl can read a book of that kind without a greait deal of information.
Some time ago I had a negro 'hoy working for me, about eigfhteen years old, and I told him to put some gu'mo on some corn that I had growing in the yard. I told him to put about a teaspoonful on it. I went off and came back, and saw the corn drooping and wilted, and I asked him if he put the guano on the corn, and he said "yes, sir," and I said, "how much;" "a teaspoonful, sir;" and I said "how did you put it on;" and he said, "I put it right down in the bud, sir."
He itad never seen any corn grow before. At first I wanted to kick him, and then I felt sorry for him.
We must not forget that three-fourths of the people of Georgia ,derive their livelihood from agriculture.
Dr. Buttrick: Dr. Glenn, and my friends and brethren: I had it in my heart, and almost on my lips, to al2..0logize for not, being here yesterday. I am not going to apologize to you, but to myself, because I am the only loser. I am a member ad' a board, which has in its care a considerable sum df money; not such a sum as you read of in the Eapers, but what we people of the North call a small sum.
I wish you could read some of the letters I have received from some ,of the Southern people; nolt 'ooch sensible people as you, not at all, but from other people here. The:y seem to think I have a mine of gold up there and will distribute it.
We have a Gm'all sum of money, and are responsible for the wise investment of that money. We have no money to give :away.; we are not clharitably disposed. We are put in pOSSeS-
s Be

114
fion of this mrney to invest in e6ucation within the -;el'l'itory of the Lni/ed Sbtes, and just now, at the South, as offering the hest field for such investmcnt.
Let me 'take you into my confidence. This is a formal meelting, and I am talking in a confidential way. A few years ago a business manager at the North, and a friend O'f mine, s'Clid to me, "We m11st do something at the South; we must go to Iwork at the South, and do larger work than ever has been done at tihe Soufh."
We have found that the only way for us to do anything at the South is for us to co-operate with you, who 'are 'the educationalleaders at the South. To enter into co-operaEon with you, and to represent educational leaders at the South in connection with the Southern Educational Convention, the Southern Educ'ational Board was organized.
With the men on this committee, and the sum of money that has been entrusted to our care, we hope to work with you, and to co-operate with you in the South in the work which you are doing, and which you must do. It is the purpose of the board to promote education in the United States, without distinctian of race, sex or color. Secondly, our purpose is to esta!blish puhlicschools, as the only permanent 'school supported by taxation.
Tihey tell me you don't like the free school here, because it stands for pauper school. Well, now, that is the way it used to be at the Korth. I can remember When the private school was called a select school, the se'led folks went there; and when my father made some money they sent my sister to the select school. Free school now stands for something honorable. Thirdly, to promolte the principle of self-help by urging increase of loca'! taxation. Fourthly, the South is the virgili land. I remember I hought a picce of land that had never heen worked once, a11d had 'the best crop of potatoes around thcre. It was virgin soil.
I was up at Charlotte a few weeks ago, and in the early morning went over and sat down in the great auditorium of

115
the Y. }f. C. A. Before the meeting was called, a man stepped up to the platform and began to playa wetty song. I could: hear that some one was singing, but I couldn't catch the words. Soon they marohed in singing th'at simple song that is familiar to every parent who has children in the public schools, "lHarch, March, March, see the Children, they are Corning."
I want to say to you that no motive under heaven could hilve induced me to corne here, and leave a congenial home and a ministerial life, 'but for that vision before me: "March, March, March, see the Ohildren, they are Com~ng." How worthy the cause that will promote good citizen"hip, life here, and 'that life eternal.
President Branson: La'st year, just before taking charge of the school, one of the teachers from an adjoining county carne to me, and said, "Mr. Branson, can't you give me something to do." "Well," says I, "my child, what do you want., to do." "Oh," she says, "anything; if I go away from this school I must go back into the c'Qtton-field. I will be a clerk, anything; am, let me work, anywhere."
A meeting of the trustees was held the next day, and I said to them just what she said to me. They ro"e up in a body, and said, "We,'11 take care of her."
:Kow, "ee how the way i'sopening for the"e young girls WhO, but for this little statement made to me twelve months ago, might never have known of such a thing.
I didn't ask for buadings, I asked for scholarships; and they said, "IVe'll give you 50 scholar"hips, if you will secure fifty." And tllOse 50 will come from tihe "tudent's themselves. They said to me, "l\lr. Braman, let us who are able to pay our way 'through this school, let us get these scholarships, while we are helping ourselves, let us help them." I have secured ten of these additional scholarships from that student-body. Now, tlle"e additional fifty are corning in rapidly. They are coming in from various counties all over the State. Two have come from our students from Elbert county.

116
J nst one word, and I am done: That normal school has done a great many bhings for the State, without calling upon the State of Georgia, or taxing the pockets of this State. Eighteen months ago the library of the school could have been hauled away in a \\"heelbarrow; to-day there are 5,000 volumes in the library.
When 'those teachers leave that school aMer a three or four years course, they will leave with the best in the school, and the best in themsclve8. I do not feel ithe least like an intruder in this company, because I feel that you are interested in whatevert'he schools of Georgia are doing.
I have come to 'ask you to take your new scholar, and gently, tenderly, train him up in the way he should go.
Meeting adjourned to meet in special meeting the week before the opening of the University in September. The next annual meeting to be held in Macon, Georgia.
Executive Committee: Messrs. J. N. Wall, M. B. Dennis, J. lVI. Pound, lVI. L. Duggan.
RESOLUTIOXS.
"Ye recommend that the generous and timely offer of :l\Ir. George Foster Peabody, of Kew York, looking to the establishment of much needed libraries for the rural schools, be accepted, and the sincere thanks of this convention be tendered .Mr. Peabody. We recommend that the amount be divided into the sums of ten dollars, making each library cost with the sum raised in the comnnmity, $20.00.
We hereby petition to the Georgia Legislature, to so amend the present school law as to allow county boards of education to contribute from the county school fund $10 to each of the smaU schools in the county, as will duplicate such amount, for the purchase of suitable books for a library for the use of the school and school community under proper regulations.

INSTITuTlO~S FOR HIGHER EDUCATION SUPPORTED BY THE STATE.

UNIVERSITY OF GEORGIA,
Athens, Ga., September 17, 1902.
Han. G. R. Glenn, State School Commissioner, Atlanta, Ga. DEAR Sm ;-Purslwn,t to your request I have the honor to
.. submit the following report relative to the University of Geor-
gta:

THE COLLECTIVE UNIVERSITY.

The Universi'ty of Georgia is not only unique in being the

oldest State university in the United States, and in being the

first institution whose charter co-ordinates primary, second-

ary, and university education, bnt also in having this peculiar

organization; All the colleges reprc5enting what the State is

doing in behalf of higher education ore under t,he control of a

single baard of trustees. The University board has endeav-

ored to emphasize this unity of the colleges composing the

university system by the publication of a joint catalogue; by

having representatives of. the various colleges participate in

the commencement exercises; and by organizing a University

Council, composed of the presidents of the several colleges.

In the collective sense of the term, the enrollment fO'r the

past year in all the colleges was as follo'ws:

Tatal students of college grade

1,884

Total students in professional 8'chools

147

Total students in preparatory departmellts. " 658

Grand total

2,689.

This was an increase over last year O'f eighty-three.

119
URIVERSITY OF GEORGIA AUXILIARY.
Friend's of 1he university sys1tem havethQught that there should be some organization which would constitute a channel for private benevolence to the various colleges composing the University. Such an organization has been formed and is de'nominated the University of Georgia Auxiliary. Its purposes have been set forth in a pamphlet which has been printed and widely distributed at the expense of a friend of the University who is a native of Georgia, and who is greatly ilHerestecl in the entire univc'rsity system. 'The following gentlemen have agreed to serve on the Advisory Boarclof the
Auxiliary: J. L. :U. Curry, Walter B. Hill, George Foster
Pealbody, Joseph M. Terrell, 'iV. B. :JIerrit1, Clark Hmvell and Hobert E. Park.
The following gentlemen compose the Executive Commit tee: Harry Hodgson, Athen's; Hugh M. Dorsey, Atlanta; Jere YI. Pound, Macon; Joseph R. Lamar, Augusta; Manning J. Yeomans, DawsO'n; Pleasant A. Stovall, Savannah; Henry R. Goetchius, Columbus; G. Edward Maddox, Rome.
'l'here is strong reason to hope thu,t great good will come to the entirc univers~ty system from the work of this valuable Auxiliary.
UNIVERSI'TY AT ATHENS.
Restricting now this report hereafter entirely to the institutions at Athens (composing what is ordinarily called the University, namely, Franklin College, offering t~e A.B. Degree; and the State College of AgricultufC and the Mechanic Arts,offering the B.S. Degree; and fue Law Department, offering a oourse for the Degree of B.L.), the last session was both pleasant and profitable. The discipline of the studt'ntbody has been excellent. On this subject, the report of the Board of Visitors for 1902, is as follows:
"After most careful inquiry as to the moral tone prevailing

120

among the students, and all those matters of discipline that we feel are especially within the sphere of the duty of the Board of Vi:;itors, it is with unfeigned pleasure that we report the most satisfactorv condition of affairs in these respects. Not only do the chancellor and professor.s express to us t'heir belief that the moral tone prevailing among the students is exceptionally high and is constantly improving, but the older students also confirm these gentlemen in their opinion. We are siatisfied that there has been little dissip'ahon on the part of the students during this session, and there is a constantly growing sentiment among them against such practices as drinking, gambling, and other immorality. Such a thing as cheating on examination has been so severely dealt with during the past few years, and is so strongly condemned by the Faculty and students, that it is now practically unheard of in the 1)niversity. The students, as a whole, manifest the greatest respct for the Faculty, and there is every reason to believe that the relation between the Faculty and the student-body ,vas never so cordial and helpful as at present."
The attendance in the academic departments increased considerably over that of the Centennial year, which represented the high-water mark of ilttenclallce. The enrollment was as follows:

Franklin College

123

State College of A. &: :\I. Arts

132

Winter Course in Agricnltlll'c

20

:Law Department

32

Graduate School

5

Total

312

The increase in the ae,adcmic attendance over the last year was 36. There was a reduction in the Law Department, owing to the in'troduotion of a two years course. This reduction was anticipated, but the trustees were confident that such

121
course should be inhoc1ucec1 despite the temporary reduction, and the movement has commended itself to the bar of the State, who sympathize with the effort of the University to raise the standard of legal education.
AGRICULTURAL EDUCATION.
The School of Agriculture is being brought actively in touch with the needs of the State. The building formerly known as Philosophical Hall, has been fitted up as Argicultural Hall, and. in the language of the committee of the General Assembly in November, 1901, is "one olf the best equipped departments of the University." A cut of this building accompanies this report. The first floor of the Hall is used for the Dairying Department, and a co'l:nplcte equipment for the teaching of dairying has been installed. The second floor is used for the lecture-room and office of the professor. Seven acres of land immediately adjacent to this Hall have been set apart for the purpose of experimentation on the intensivc scale, ,,-hi Ie the University farm has been rescrved for experimentation on a larger scale. (Two views of the farm are printed hercwith) , The progress in this department was commended in the report of the legislative COIllmittee above mentioned, and in the report of the Board ,'I' Visitors at the last commencement. This board was appointed under the new law requi~ingth'at two members of the board shall be persons skilled in the theory and practice of agriculture and horticulture. The Short Winter Course was successfully introduced last year and numbered twenty students. A much larger attendance may naturall v be expected at the present session.
The most important action of the Board of Trustees in reE, erence to this department at the last session, was the intel" duction of a one-year course. It has been found difficult ley the colleges of agriculture all over the country, to attract students to the full four-years course in agriculture, leading to

122
the degree of Bachelor of Science in Agriculture. In fact, ~(}me of the most successful of these colleges and rthose to which the largest State appropriations have been made supplementing the Federal fund, have had very few graduates in agriculture. vYhile this is gre'atly to be regretted, it is a fact that must be recognized so long as it continues to exist; and consequently the suggesiion 'has been made of introducing in the State College a one-year course for those who desire fuller instruction than can be had in the Short Winter Course, and yet cannot stay in the State College four years to obtain a degree. This one-year course has been mapped out, and although there was no opportunity to advertise it except during the brief vacation, a few students havc already applied for this eo.urse. It has been made ihOToughly practieal without the sacrifice <1f scientific requirements.
OFFER OF A LIBRARY.
A member of the Southern Education Conference which was in session in Athens in April, has offered in writing to give to the University a fin~-prO'oE library building to cost from $30,000 to $50,000, as needed, the only conditions being for an appropriation by the General Assembly of $10,000 for each of the two years for which they will make appropriations, the sum to be applied to the maintenance and support of the University. It may naturally be assumed that a fire-proof library buildingadequMe to the proper housing of our 30,000 volumes, with provision for future growth, will cost as much as $50,000, which the offer authorizes. This generous offer is the first opportunity for development that has come to the University from private sources in many years. The space in the present library building will, of course, be released, and in thart space (though probably an annex will be required) provision can be made for the teaching of the six schools of languages ,that are now taught in the, 'building now known as New College. This building was once a dormitory, and is, in

123
fact., only suited for that purposc. It can easily be changed back into a dormitory and will supply rooms far about eigthy men. This dormitory space is greatly needed. All the rooms in ,the old dormitory and in thc ncw one, named Candler Hall, were taken wceks in advance of the opening of the present scssion, and a large number of applicants for dormitory room havc necessarily been disappointed. There is no risk in saying that another dormitory might have been filled at the present session. The dormitory accommodations are of course necessary in order to lower the expense of education to the young men of Georgia. The Denmark Dining Hall, in which excellent meals are furnished at $8.00 per month, IS .proving to be an institution of the greatest value.
GIFTS TO THE U;..JIVERSI1'Y.
Among tlle gifts to the University during the present year .the following may be mentioned:
1. A gift of $500.00 by Mr. Oscar S. Strau~, of R ew York, for the Department of Psychology, etc.
2. A marble bust of the :Madonna for the University library, by Mr. George :Foster Peabody.
3. Grading the campus on the western side, by the Count.y Commissioners of Clarke county.
4. Gift of $1,500.00, by Judge Horace Russell, of New York, to endow a PIize of $[jO.OO per annum in the School <If Psychology, and one of $30.00 in ,the School of Ethics.
5. The class of 1875 gave a medal for general excellence to be awarded annually to the most deserving member of the Freshman Class.
6. Additions have been made by gift to the Industrial Museum of eighty-three articles illus'tr.ative of the proce,'it:~ and products of Chemical rrechnology.
7. Legacy under the will of the lamented Brantley A. Den~mark, of $4.000.
8. Contribution of $1,000 by the friends of the Univer-

124
sity in New York, secured by Mr. Marion J. Verdery, Presdent of the University of Georgia Club in New York. This sum brings up the alumni SUbscription almost to the amount of $50,000.

The sum of $10.00 is charged for matriculation, $5.00 for library fee, and $1.00 for sustaining fee to literary societies (this being, in the case of new students, initiation fee of $2,00). The only other items are some small charges in the Departments of Chemistry and Biology, where these subjects are elected.
Rooms in the new and old dormitories are free. The ~tu dent furnishes lights, attendance and fuel, and in the old dormitory supplies his furniture. In Candler Hall the rooms contain bedstead, washstand, table and two chairs. The student furnishes all other articles and fuel and lights. Board at Denmark Hall is $8.00 per month.

Respectfully submitted, WALTER B. HILL, Chancellor.
STATE ~OlnIAL SCHOOL. STATE NORMAL SCHOOL. August 19, 1902.
Dr. G. R. Glenn, State School Commissioner, Atlanta, Ga.: DEAR SIR :-1 beg to report to you upon the status of things
at the State Normal school of Georgia, upon our progress since our last report, and our prespects for imp;ovemen'(; in the future.
The school last year registered 602 students, 247 of whom came to us with first-grade certificates, or diplomas from reputable high schools and colleges ,throughout the State.

129
This fact alone indicates a great advance upon general scholarship of the student-body. However, only thirty-six of the students last year were able to remain with us for the full ten months, or a little more than six per cent. of the total students enrolled for the year.
To-day, the opening day of our new year, every place in the dormitory is filled with students, and with forty more than we have room for. (A committee of the faculty is now searching quarters for these in the neighborhood of the school, and if they cannot be comfortably pla'ced tJhere, it will be necessary for them to return to their homes. Some of ,these have come without notification to us in advance of their coming, and some others have come in spite of the letters and telegrams urging them not to come. Twenty other students who are applicants have been notified not to come because of the fact that the dormitory is full). The opening this year is there~ for, nearly three times as large as ever before in the his,tory of the school. What is still better, sixty per cent. of those who have entered this year, 'are registered, not for ten weeks, as heretofore, but fm ten months. In other words, we have for the first time in the history of the school, a stable studentbody. We are no longer a transient boarding-house, but a sohool devoted to good work.
Heretofore, if we had had the most ample buildings, the best possible course of study, and the most brilliant faculty, the school must have failed of its purpose because of 'the fact that 90 per cent. of the student-body were here for shori periods of time to nibble at our courses. I consider this stable student-body as marking the first grea't epoch in the progress of the school. Heretofore we have been a big school, now we are in way of becoming a great school.
One full year of instruction has been added to the course, and our old freshman class h'as come to be a preparatory class. The raw, unfinished student who enters here, who is net llblc, upon satisfactory Itests, to enter upon our diploma
9 Be

130
course, falls back into this preparatoy class or falls out al~ toge'ther.
Heretofore, we have had forty-six situdents, who have been in the school upon our scholarship plan, and the Southern Educational Board in fast April, gave us fifty scholarshjp~ to match these, and fifty more scholarships conditioned upon our raising an additional fifty. This was done, and before the opening of the present year the full amount of $2,500 was deposited with the cashier of the Savings Bank, and the Southern Education Board promptly checked us $5,000 as promised.
Most o'f these forty-six scholarships that we had originally, were scholarships given to students who, in a quiet way, entered the school, and so far as the student-bodJ knew of it, were paying their own bills. The full list of all scholarships, however, will be submi'!ted to the Southern Education Board 1upon demand, with the names of benefactors and beneficiaries of all the scholarships awarded. Under our scholarship plan, (lur meag-erly paid tcachers enter this school and remain for
ten months with all of their expenses paid, at a cost to them-
selves of only about forty doHars. The fifty doUar scholarship pays the rest. This includes lights, fuel, laundry, water, servant hire, table fare, salaries of matron and housekeeper, expenses -of running farm, and so on. Our schol'arship students, therefore, may stay here until they get the most and best out of themselves and out of the school.
Our course has been greatly enriched, and the student who wins our full diploma. will be presented to the State with the full confidence of the Faculty, as being competent and capable in scholarship and training far beyond what is customary in
any State in the South-at least, the Faculty holds w this be-
lief. The grounds have been graded and turfed, shade-trees and
shrubberies have been put out, walk-ways and drive-ways have been laid down, the grounds and buildings put into a thorough state of sanitation, and every inch of the entire property

131

is under cultivation and care. The appearance of things has been tremenduously improved and last year, with a studentbody of 602 students, the doctor's bills for this institution amouni:d to less than $25.00, all told.
It mny not be amiss to mention the amounts of money that h:lve been raised for this school and its purposes within the Inst year:

The Winnie Davis Memorial Hall, Daughters of

the Confederacy

The Daughters of the Confederacy will lay the corner-stone of the 'IVinnie Davis Memorial in October. The architectural drawings will be complete in a few days, and the contract wili be let for a $20,000 building. A1bout the same time, we will be able to begin the erection of a Practice School building.
The Southern Education Board will give us five thousand doUars more for two more years, if we meet the conditions. Also, $4,500 was given by the Southern Education Boord toward the erection of the Winnie Davis Memorial Hall, wilen the nine thousan'd doUar mark should have been reached by the ladies. They now have, I think, just about that amount in hand.
Mr. George Foster Peabody, who gave us ten thousand dol lars for the Practice School Building, agrees to give ten thousand dollars toward a commodious, well-equipped college building-, if we s11all be able to raise $25,000 in the State. Mr. Harry Hodgson is now organizing the Alumni of the Uni-

132
versity of Georgia, who will attempt to raise $25,000 to meet Mr. Peabody's condition-this amount to be raised in small sums from individuals in every county of the State.
We feel that Providence has been good to us, far beyond ou:' deserts. Nevertheless, these magnificent benefactions do not overtop the magnificent possibilities of this slchool for usefulness.
The only building we have for college uses and purposes is the auditorium building, costing $7,000, which was built by money saved by cutting the salaries of the teachers here. No~ a sin'gle member of the faculty uttered a word of protest. Only four small recitation rooms are available for recitation purposes. The University of Georgia has six buildings devoted wholly, or in part, to recitation and laboratory uses for a student-body not larger than this. We are hoping that by the first of January we shall have this building that we so urgently need. Our dormitory capacity is far beyond our college faciliues, and the development of this school is almost estopped until this building can be secured. All told, in the history of this school, the Legislature of the State has given only $7,000 for building purposes. We are hoping that it can afford to do much more for us in the future. The crowds here are already so great that we are having to 'set the tables in our mess-hall twice for each meal served, or six times per day. Weare hoping that we may be able to convert our present dining hall into dormitory rooms. With the Winnie Davis :Memorial Hall, this should give us room for eighty-six additional students, making our total dormitory capacity to be about three hundred students. We need, therefore, and we need urgently, another new building, devoted entirely to a kitchen and mess-hall uses for the entire school. It ought to provide for the needs of five hundred students at the very least. It will cost about $25,000.
The present men's dormitory is insufficiently heated by grates and defedive flues. It ought to be steam heated, and it must be. In other words, $60,000 would be a very moder-

133
ate estimate of the amount we need for the immediate necessities of the institution here.
At present we are using the old shanty in the rear of the girl's dormitory as a shop for 'our Art Education, Manual Training, and handicraft courses. The cooking school, which has been so liberally outfited by Mr. Robert C. Ogden, who stands ready to increase the equipments in it whenever we have the necessary space, is at present in a little unceiled outhouse. All of these courses, together with the additional work in the departments of the Domestic Arts and Sciences, demand ampler facilities and better buildings.
Since the first of October we have received from the Peabody Education Fund, through you, the sum of $2,200.
Our summer school of methods has just closed, and in spite of the fact th3lt we adverrtised in a'dvance that we had places in our dorm~tory for only seventy-five teachers, we have over two hundred in attendance, all told.
The city of Athens is undertaking to raise among its citizenship a fund of three thoU'sand dol!lars with which to run a summer school of methods here upon a larger scale next summer, and I think that the generous interest of Athens can be safely counted on to back a tremendously big summer school next year. One thousand and fifty dollars subscribed in a canvass of only two hours on yesterday and the day before.
For all of your earnest and efficient serrvices in behalf of this gchool, and all of the schools of the university system, and the public schools of the State, the faculty and studenh of this institution extends to you their most cordial gratitude.
Yours truly, E. C. BRA)l"SO~, President.

ELEVENTH ANNUAL REPOR'r OF THE GEORGIA ~ORM:AL AND INDUSTRIAL COLLEGE, MILLEDGEVILLE, GA.

Hon. G. R. Glenn, State School Oommissioner, Atlanta, Ga.:
DEAR SIR :-1 have the honor to present to you the following report of the work of the Georgia .K ormal and Industrial College for the session of 1901-1902, the same being the eleventh annual session of the institution:

ATTENDANCE.
During the session we had in attendance three hundred and seventy-nine (379) regular matriculate students, ranging from fifteen to thirty years of age. They came from ninetyseven different counties in the State. Three hundred all J forty (340) of the number were boarding pupils, most of them living in the college dormitories, but owing to a lack of room in the dormitories quite a number had to board in prIvate families. During moS't of the year the college was crowded to its capacity with students.
Besides the 379 college students there were 64, chihirel1, from six to fourteen years of age, in the lIodel School con neeted with the Normal Department, making a total attendance of four hundred and forty-three (443) pupils.

CLASSIFICATION.

The students were divided among the several departments,

or courses of study, pursued in the college, as folloiF :

NOR}IAL DEPART}IENT.
The work of this department was very much the same as that of last year, with decidedly increased interest and better results in Nature study and in Manual training. The Manual training was done under more systematic organization this year. Some of the results were brought together and put on public exhibition in the Pedagogy room during commencement week and elicited great interest and admiration from hundreds of intelligent visitors, and especially from the many teachers and school officials who were present. INe plan to add valuable features to this work during Hhe coming year.
At 'our last commencement a conference of former students now teaching, also of other teachers, called to discuss phases of modern education. Two meetings were held and we're largely attended, and much interest was manifested. These conferences will be features of our commencement hereafter, and through them we hope to reach many more schools in Georgia than heretofore.

INDUSTRIAI~ DEPAR'r}IEKT.

The industrial arts taught in the college are such as are most suitable for women, either for making a livelihood or for home and domestic purp'ases. The industrial branches taught are stenography and typewriting, bookkeeping, dressmaking, cooking, industrial drawing and designing.
The number of pupils pursuing each of these branches during the past session was as follows:

Industrial Drawing and Designing

136
~early every student in the college above the Preparatory Department (members of which are not, as a rule, allowed t;-take 1'he Industrials) studied at least one industrial art, and many of them more than one.
The various branches of the Industrial Department have been during the past session, not only kept fully up to the high degree of efficiency alre,ady established, but have taken such progressive steps as the development and improvement of the times have rendered possible. The splendid exhibition of the practical work of the department displayed at our last commencement has, I believe, never been equalled in quality and comrprehensiveness, by any othe,r women's industrial oohool in America.
SOME RESULTS.
The Georgia K ormal and Industrial College has been in operation eleven years. During that time it has had an annualaverage enrollment of 350 students. About 1,800 individual Ge\:lrgia girls and young women, coming from nearly every county in the State, have attended the institution. Upwards of 800 former students of the college, graduates and undergraduates, are now teaching, or have t'aught, in the schools of Georgia and other States. More than 100 proficients from the Industrial Department have found lucraotive employment as stenographers, bookkeepers, dressmakers, industrial art instructors, etc. Ninety-three per cent. of the graduates have followed ror a livelihood the vocation for which they were specially educated at this school. Its graduates and proficients are in demand everywhere in Georgia. The supply does not meet the demand. A very large percentage of its pupils--usually aHer being wage earners for severa: years-get married and become the wives, mothers and homemakers of Georgia. For this, the highest function of womanhood, they have been well prepared b'y the education that they have received in this collE'ge, not only in literary branches, bnt

137
also, and more especially, in the domestic sciences, including practical training in cooking, sewing, household economics, and home sanitation.
Most of the pupils who have attended this college have been poor girls who, if the State had: not established this institution, where they could get a thorough education at a nominal cost, would have grown up in comparative ignorance with capabilities stunted and undeveloped.
'rhe above facts and figures show that the institution is doing well the work for which i,t was esta!blished by the State.
NEEDS OF THE COLLEGE.
The college is in great want of many things, but its most urgent needs at this time 'are:
First. An infirma,ry for sick students. At present we have for the sick only a single room of insufficient size in each of the two dormitories, in the very midst of the distracting noises that are unavoidable in a schoolgirl's boarding-house, with nearly two hundred oCiCupants. It is impossible to isolate a patient even though she have some virulent contagious disease, and impossible to secure quiet for her, however, nervous or desperately ill she may be.
Second. A Natural Science Laboratory for students. At pr0S(,nt we have no facilities whatever by which the students may perform individual experiments in physics and chemistry, an absolute necessity for the thorough teaching of the natural scienCiC's and of extreme importance to young women who are preparing for Ithe vocation of <teaching.
I earnestly trust that the State Legislature at its next session will give us a special appropriation for these two necessities. The entire 'amount required wouM not be more than $1',000.00,
Respectfully submitted. Your truly, J. HARRIS CHAPPELL,
Presiden t Georgia Normal and Industrial College. :J\filledgeville, Ga., August 16, 1902.

GEORGIA SCHOOL OF TECH~OLOGY.
HISTOHY Al';D GENEUAL INFOR1\IATION.
During the session of the Legislature of Georgia in 1882, a committee of ten was appointed to visit technical institutions of the North and report on the advisability of establishing such a school in Georgia.
The committee made its report at the summer session oE the Legislature in 1883, recommending the establishment of the school. A bill was introduced for that purpose, and was lost, receiving only sixty-five vote's.
The people of the State were appealed to by the supporters of the measure, and it was the issue in many counties in the election of members of the neX't Legislature. '1'hc State Agricultural Society recommended it, and many other prominent organizations of the State pressed the matter upon the attention of the people.
The bill was introduced again by Hon. N. Eo Harris, and was passed at the summer session, Odober 16, 1885, appropriating $65,000 to found the school.
'l'he first Board of Commissioners was appointed by Governor 1\IcDaniel, on or about January 1, 1886, as follows: N. E. Harris, S. M. Inman, E. H. Hodgs'on, O. S. Porter, and Columbus Heard. The board organized and selected N. E. Harris, chairman, and S. 1\1. Inman, secretary and treasurer.
The act provided for competitive bids for the location of the school from various sections of the State, and the commission, after considering propositions, located the school in Atlanta.
During the summer of 1888, the buildings and part of the equipment being ready, a faculty was elected, and academic and shop-work began October 3d of that year.

trustees were added to the local board of trustees, and the power to grant diplomas and establish rules and regulationswas also conferred on the local board.
In March, 1891, a Sub-Apprentice Clas's was established for the purpose of preparing those students for the Apprenlice Class whose opportuni'ties for advancement in studies, had been limited.
On April 21, 1892, between two and five o'clock a.m., the sohool shops 'were totally destroyed by fire. With the insurance OIl' -the building and machinery, and additional appropriation made by the Legislatme, the building and machinery were at once replaced, and the result of the misfortune was, in the end, must beneficial, as both building and equipment are superior to what were destroyed.
1'he lea.ding object of the school is to teach the principleS' of science, especially those which rel-ate to the mechanic and indllStrial arts.
The school offers an education of high grade, founded on :Mathematics, ,the English Language, the Physical Sciences, and Drawing, while it gives such famiEarity to some industrial pursuit.s as will enable the graduate to earn a living.
In December, 1896, the Legislatureappropriabed $20,000, for the equipment of a Department of Electrical Science ($5,000), and for building a dormitory ($15,000). The dormitory was built and first occupied by students at the opening of the fall session of 1897.
The Local Board of Trustees met in December, 1896, and established the degrees of Electrical and Civil Engineering.
In December, 1897, the Legislature appropriated $10,000 for the establishment of a Textile Department, provided that the friends of the school contribute $10,000 additional in money and machinery.
During the year 1898 nearly $20,000 W'orthof machinery was dOIlated to the school, and about $13,500 in cash. Experienced mill archikcts were employed to make plans for-

142
the rrextile building. The regular course in Textile", both in ,theory and practice, 'began in the fall of 1899.
Mr. Aaron French, of Pi'ttshurg, Pa., became interested in the school in the summer of 1897, and when he was asked to co-operate in meeting the conditions imposed by the Legislature, he made several donations. The first, $2,600, was given without any condition. The second, $3,000, was given provided the friends of the school raise $3,000 additional.
The city of Atlanta promptly met this condition by appro priating the necessary $3,000 in July, 1898.
Mr. :French'sthird donation amounted to $3,000, and enabled the trustees to make material increase in the size of the rrextile building.
Other gifrts of the school, as catalogued this year, have amounted to $55,000 in cash since June, 1899.
In honor of Mr. ]'rench the Textile Department is called
THE A. FRENCH TEXTILE SCHOOL.
The establishment of this department is an entirely new feature in education in the State of Georgia, and the superior equipment for instruction in the manufacture of all grades of cotton goods is expected to promote interest in manufacturing.
It will be noticed in the Textile course of study that mannal training, chemistry, dyeing and engineering are included.
APPROPRIA'l'IONS AND DONATIONS.
The school receives $40,000 per annum from the Stwte, and $2,500 per annum from the city of Ananta. During the session 'of the Legislature in 1900, the maintenance fund was increased from $30,000 to $40,000 per annum.
On account of the large increase in attendance, the pres'Cnt appropriations do not suffice for all needs of the school,

143

and its friends have responded liberally to aid its departments.
In December, 1900, the Legishture appropriated $10,000 for an electrical building, and $6,000 for additional textile e:quipment, with the proviso that these amounts would not be available until the friends of the school shouJd furnish $25,000 in cash donations. The condition was met as stated above.

BUILDI.N~GS.

The school occupies a beautiful site in a campus of nine

acres, lying at the junction of North avenue and Cherry

street, easily accessible by street-car lines on :Marietta, West

Peachtree and Luckie streets. The Academic building is a

splendid edifice of brick, trimmed with granite and terra-

cotta, slwte roof. It has one hundred and thirty feet front,

is one hundred and twenty deep, and is four stories above

basement story. It contains ample aceommodations in halls,

offices, apparatus-rooms, recitation and lecture-rooms, library,

and chapel.

.

'The workshops are als'O of brick, the main shop building

being two hundred and fifty feet long by eighty wide, and two

stories, with large basements. It is admirably de'Bigned with

reference to its use, and affords ample space for the machine

and wood-shops and the foundry. In the basement are com-

plete equipment's for hot and cold baths, and lockers for stu-

dents' clothes. The smith-shops, boilers, and cupolas for

foundry are located outside the main shop building, thus re-

ducing to a minimum all chances of another disaster by fire.

During 1898 a new smith-shop was built. It contains 21

forges, a vise-room, and office, and is well lighted by large

windows which extend e'lltirely around the building.

The new Textile building was completed in 1898, and is

150 by 70 feet with three floors for the aecommodation of

machinery, class-rooms, etc. It was designed by Lockwood,

144
,'Greene & Co.) of Boston, and fulfills every requirement of a modern cotton mill.
The Dormitory buildings consis t of the J anie Austell Swann Dormitories, containing 50 rooms for students; the Knowles Dormitory, containing thirty-six rooms for students, gymnasium, shower-baths, and dinning-room, two smaller dormitories of eight rooms each; and a small building of four rooms.
THE NEW BUILDINGS.
The Janie Austell Swann Dormitories, cosbing $30,000, for the accommodation of 100 students, has been completed. It is a handsome structure of three stories, 142 by 54 feet, and finis'hed in pressed brick and stone, with monumental pillars at 'the front entrance. It is heated by the blower system, lighted with clectricity, and contains ample halls, recepttian moms, etc. The bruilding is a memorial e,reCited by :Mr. J ames Swann to his wife.
'rhe new EledricRI building, costing $15,000, has been completed. It is three stories in height, 90x82 feet in plan, and will contain the Mechanical and: Experimental Laboratory, the Electrical Laboratory, Drawing-rooms, Blue-print room and class-rooms.
EQUIPMENT.
'ehe Mechanical, Eledrical, Chemical, and Physical laboratories have been fitted up with reference to practical work, and such additions will be made from time to time as may be required for expeTimental research. The apparatus and appliances are of the newest and best forms, and will be increased as occasion may demand.
The workshops have been equipped with machinery ani! tools from the best makers, and of the lRtest pattern, at a cost of over twenty thousand dollars. In pursuance of the fundamental idea of giving the students access to the best machin-

145
ery and experimental knowledge of the best meHlOds of mechanical work, the Trustees have put the Mechanical Department on a footing with the most improved and complerl:e shops in the country, and hardly any process requiring fine material and accurate workmanship is beyond its capacity.
The shops of the institution 'have already won an enviable reputation for the quality of their iron and brass castings, perfection in gear-cutting, and the beauty and variety of their wood and other work.
The Textile Building has an unsurpassed equipment of cotton manufacturing machinery.
Machinery for experimental. lahora'tory,shops and electrical department, is now being bought, amounting in cost to $20,000.
DEGREES CONFERRED.
The degrees conferred are as follows: Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering, Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering, Bache'lor of Science in Civil Engineering, Bachelor of Science in Textile Engineering, and Bachelor of ,O;;;:cience in Engineering Chemistry.
SESSIONS AND TERMS.
The session begins the last Wednesday in September, and -ends the Thursday before the fourth Wednesday in June. It will be divided into three terms of twelve weeks each. 'rhere will be an intermission of one week, embracing Christmas.
All students are required, and all applicants are requested to be present at the opening hour of each session, as punctuality operates to their advantage in many ways.
SUB-APPRENTICE CLASS.
Applicants for this class mus,t be at least sixteen years old .and pass a satisfactory examination in arithmetic, including

146
common and decimal fractions, compound numbers, percentage, ratio, proportion, alligation, square root, cuberoot and mensuration.

N a fees are refunded to students who are required to leave for deficiency in shop or mill work or studies.

DORMITORIES.
~ll students in the Apprentice and Sub-Apprentice classeR who do not reside with their parents or guardians, are required to board in the school dormitories.
This regulation was passed by the Board of Trustees oE the school April 2, 1902, after a careful examination of the advantages and protection afforded by the dormitories to stu(lents of the two younger classes. Students of the higher classes will be accommodated in the dormitories also, but their residence there is not compulsory.

BOARD AKD EXPENSES.

The scllOol is provided with dormitory accommodations for

two hundred students. The moms arc well lighted and ven-

tilated. Hot and cold shower-baths are accessible to all stu-

dents, in a new and well-heated bathroom.

The price of board, including laundry, fuel and lights, is

$1~i.50 per month, payable in advance.

Board is not. refunded to students unless they leave through

providential causes.

.

All students who aesire places in the dormitories must wri te

and secure them before reporting for duty, as the dormitories

149
do not accommouate more than one-half of the students who are in the ill3titution.
8tudents who board in the dormitories are required to furnish the following articles: One pillow, three pillow-cases, four sheets, blankets or comforts, six ,towels, and any other small and portable articles needed about their rooms. The articles named should be 'brought from home. The school furnishes with each room: Beds (single three-quarter widrth), mattresses, springs, wardrobe or closet, washstand, bureau, and table. It is intended that only two students shall occupy one room.
With the information given above, students may easily ,come to Atlanta without preliminary correspondence and be located, at least temporarily, a few hour'S after their arrival.
Every member of the Apprentice class must provide himself with gymnasium suit and shoes, the total cost of which is about $2.00.
Each student should have two suits of overalls, costing about $1.00 each.
The cost of books, etc., in the Apprentice year is large on .account of the purchase of drawing instruments.

NORTH GEORGIA AGRICULTURAL COLEGE.
11 on. G. R. Glenn, State School Commissioner:
DEAR SIR :-In compliance with your request, I send you report of that part of the University known as the North Georgia Agricultural College.
ORIGIN AND PURPOSE OF THE COLLEGE.
This College owes its origin to the Act of Congress of July 2, 1862, entitled "An Act donating public lands to 'the several States and territories which may provide colleges fOT the benefit of agriculture and the mechanic arts."
The College having been incorporated in 1871, received from :the United Sta'tes Government, in pursuance of an Act of Congress passed in that ye'ar, a donation of a building at Dahlonega, known as t'he United States Branch Mint, with ten acres of land connected therewiilll.
A contract 'was then made with the trus1tees of the U niversity, by which the North Georgia Agricultural College became a department of the University, the title of the above property being conveyed to the trustees of the University on the conditions specified in the donation, the trustees of the University appointed tlhe president of the College, making a certain allowance for its support, and exercising over it a general super-
V1SlOn.
BUILDINGS AND GROUNDS.
The College has forty acres of beautifully situated and valuable land-affording ample space for all military exercises and agricultural experiments.
The main building has twelve recitation-rooms and offices, the chapel, armory, and society hialls, and is well equipped with modern furniture and apparatus. The departments 01 English, History, Mathematics, Ancient Languages and Commerce, are located in this building.

MAIN BUILDING.

152
In 1900 Bos'twick Hall, the gift of Mr. J. H. Bostwick, of New York, was completed. 'rhe upper story of this builrling is devoted entirely to Chemistry, Bhysics, anel Biology. Each of these departments has a well-equipped laboratory with individual stalls for the students; and, as the program shows, every student in these departments is required to do from five to ten hours a week laboratory work. The lower floor is devoted to the president's office and lecture-room, and to the libraries and reading-rooms.
In addition to Ithe two large brick buildings, devoted to the departments of instruction, there is a large girls' dormitory with a capacity of forty boarders, and home for the manager; a boys' dormitory of the same capacity, and eight cottages of two, three and five rooms each.
EXPENSES.

students, has on file all the leading daily papers of the Starr,many weekly publications, and some twenty of the leading Iiterary magazines.
DORMITORY :FOR BOYS.
T:he trustees have built a dormitory with twenty rooms forboys. The rooms arc partly furnished with stove, chairs, table, washstand, double iron bed and springs; the two occupantsof each room furnish everything else needed for the room. Students should bring from home pillows, bed-clothing, cover.. towels, etc.
Each student will pay on entrance $1.00 to the manager for the first month's room rent, including above furniture, fuel and lights, and $1.00 on the first of each scholastic month thereafter on co-operative plan. The manager elected by the FacuHy, with his Executive Committee, will be responsible to the Faiculty for the discipline of the hall. Students will pay for all damage to property or furniture. Application for rooms should be made to the President.
This hall will be under good discipline, being inspected daily by military officers and the Faculty. Students who talm rooms are expected to keep rooms in order and preserve that quiet during study hours conducive to work, otherwise they will lIOt be allowed to remain. This building is on college campus convenient Ito Dining Hall where students may obtain excellent table board.
DORMITORY FOR GIRLS.
'The truS'bees have recently built and furnished a comfortable dormitory for girls. Forty young ladies arc provided for. The I'O'Oms are furnished with two single iron beds, and theother necessary heavy furniture. Occupants olf tihe room will furnish bed-clothing, towels, pillmvs, toilet artie:les. 'The young ladies will be under the immediate control of the residen professor, under rules made 'by Faculty. Parents may be assured that their daughters will find here a well-regulated

and disciplined home for girls. Board in college Dining Hall, including lights, fuel, laundry of twelve pieces a week, $10.00 a month on co-operative plan; that is, if any funds are left on hand at end ef year it will be prorated equitably.

COT,I,EGE DBITNG HAT,L.
On the lower floor of the Girls' Dormitory the trustees have established a dining-hall under the management of a professor, wh1?re the young ladies of the dormitory, the professors and their families, the young men having rooms in Boys' Dormitory, or those room~ng in town, may get good, wholesome table board at $8.00 a scholastic month, on co-operative plan. Everything will be done to make this the nicest, best-regulated and cheapest table ever furnished the students. By establishing this co-operative dining-hall the college is enabled to offer excellent board to young ladies at $10.00, including laundry; at $9.00 to boys rooming in Boys' Dormitory; and at from ten to eleven dollars for students rooming in private families, private families charging from three to five'dollars for furnished room for two.
T'he man'agement recommends the College Dining-Hall to all parents and students.

COTTAGES.
In addition to the dormitories for boys and girls, the trustees have provided eight cottages. These are rented, unfurnished, to students at the following rates per month:

VALUE OF MILITATI.Y TRAINIKG.
It is justly claimed by the authorities of this collcge, not 'only tha't 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-rcstraint, self-mastery, in prompt obcdience, in submission to law and authority,and in the exercise of authority.
Many are the boys who come here wi!th narrow chests, curved backs and rounded shoulders, with flabby muscles and careless habits, return home with soldierly bearing, robust constitutions and habits of neatness and gentlemanly conduct. T:housands of men all over the nation attest the value of military 'training while in college. The "setting up" ex-e!Gise gives development to every muscle, and is continued thronghout the year as a part of the military training.
COURSES 0]' STUDY.
SUB-FRESIHfAN DEPART:lrENT.
The Sub-E'reshman Department is the only preparatory school for boys connected with the U niversity. 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 branche::: of study. A great many young men can not secure at home the proper high school adv,antages.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, ,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.

BACHELOR OF BUSINESS SCIENCE COURSE.
PROF. ANSTED AND TUTOR.
L\ 'tbree years' course, beginning with "A" Class Sub-Freshman, t'i'pecially arranged for those wanting a "practical education." A diploma is granted those ,::ompleting this COurSl). This course gives a young man a thorough business education, w~th the culture derived from college work. \Ye believe it to be valua'ble for those desiring more than mere technicallrnowledge of commercial branches. The students get the benefit of the societies and libraries, and receive a good course in English, Science and History. It is a busines man's course, preparing the student to be more than a machine, to be a useful member of society by giving him culture. If a young man or woman wishes to be trained in three months for a bookkeeper or stenographer, or both, he should go elsewhere; but if he wishes 11 fair college training, together with his technic<ll studies, we offer him an ideal course at a minimum cost. :Military drill is required of those taking thi~ course, 'as in other courses.
COLRSE IN BOOKKEEPING.
Preparatory work in the study of Bookkeeping IS commenced in the Sub-Freshman classes, and includes Penmanship (Spencerian or Modified Slant), Business Correspondence, Spelling, Business Forms, Business Arithmetic, and Elementary Bookkeeping.
As soon as the student has made suitable progress in tllP elements he is put to work on the Theory of Accounts, aUll

DEPARTMENT OF BUSINESS PRACTICE.
Immediately upon entering iJhis department the sltudent i;; given a cash capital of $5,000, and begins business for himself, buying and selling merchandise, filling mail orders, making 'Out invoices, receipts, cLecks, notes, drawing drafts, and making it record of every transaction in the proper books. The students alternate with eadh other in taking charge of the different offices, performing the duties of the several bank tellers, :shipping and envoice clerks, and oft1ce assistants in general.
The work in this department also includes auditing in proprietorship, partnership and corporation bookkeeping; the writing of legal documents such as Articles of Copartnership, Mortgages, Warranty Deeds, Trust Deeds, Bond for Title, Powers of Attorney, etc., and concludes with special insL~uc tion in office management and general office routine.
DEPART:\fENT OF ADVANCED BOOKKEEPING.
Those students who have completed the foregoing business studies are now required to take advanced work in the Science of Acconnts, including a three months' course in "Modern Banking and Bank Accounting." A course of collateral work is pursued in Commercial Law, Commercial Geography, Commercial E'conomics, etc., in a series of lectures" all graduating students being required to have an intelligent comprehension of these subjects for graduation.
DEPAR1~MENT OF SHORTHAND AND TYPEWRITING.
The system of Shorthand' used is the Andrew J. Graham (unabridged). Typewri ling is taught by the "Touch" method

COURSES IN AGRICULTURE.

11 the Sub-Freshman classes, in addition to, and in con nection wi th, the science work prescribed else~vhere, students will be given from one to two months' work.
1. I'lant Life.-Principal parts of plants, and the use of these parts to man; how these parts grow, and what they do for the plant; conditions necessary for each part to make its best growth and t'O do its best work for the pla'llt and for man; how to bring about these conditions on the farm and in the garden.
2. Soils.-Relations of soils to plants; sand, clay, humus; how soils ar2 made, work of sun, ice, air, plant and earthworms in making soil; relation of soil to water, heat, and air; plant food in soil; how to bring about and maintain soil conditions which favor plant growth.
3. Insect Life.-General structure, metamorphosis, and habits are studied of grasshoppers, squash bugs, beetles, flies, moths, and butterflies; the habits of other insects common on the farms are studied as they are found during field excursions.
These three divisions are not taught as separate and distinct topics, an attempt being made to impress the student with the close relations existing between them. The work is conducted <by lecture, observation, and experiment in field and class-room, by written exercises and by discussions.

168
THE TWO YEAHS' AGRICCLTCRAL COURSE.
T'his course will begin with Freshman Class, and, in addition to the work in English, History, ::\Iathematics, prescribed for other Freshman, will include Zoology (general), Entomology,. Botany (general), Elementary Horticulture, PO'mology, Military drills, elements of Bookkeeping.
In the second yem, the class will study English, Mathematics, History; and Chemistry, soils, farm crops, stock-feeding, plant diseases, farm equipment, market gardening, and military drill.
The work will be from texts, laboratory, observation awl experiment, lectures and discussions.
THE FOCR YEARS' COt)RSE.
This course will include the work prescribed for full B.S. diploma, with ccrtain options in favor of ,agriculture. It will give a more exhaustive study of subjects relating tl) ':,)11 chemistry, soil physics, plant life, growth and diseases, fruit culture and farm dairying.
The College farm, consisting of about thirty acres adjoining the College campus, will be in cultivation under the direction of the Professor of Agriculture. Students will thus have an opportunity to see daily the work of the farm and orchard going on about them. A certain amount of student labor can be employed at six cents per hour when students wish to supplement their other funds.
THE LICEXSE COCHSE FOR cmDfOX-SCIIOOL TK'CHERS.

studies and preparing for the duties of the school-room. 0thel' studies may be taken in addition to the above, as the teachers may find time. Regular teachers taking this course in the spring are not required to take full military course or purchase uniforms.
The teachers of rural schools may enter at any time during spring term, and remain as long as they desire, taking either the regnlar review course above, or such other studies as may be agreed upon. Thus teachers, after closing school, can study here for a month or more at actual cost of board and a fee of $1.50 for one month, $.2.00 for two, and $3.00 for three months. Military will not be required of these. Board will cost $8.00 to $10.00 per month.
GEXEHAL IX:FORJ\fATION.
Students nn arriving should consult the President as to arrangemen ts for board, as he keeps a list of approved boarding places and rates of board.
This is not a place to spend much money. Parents should llot allow over fifty cents a wee~ for pocket money, and twen ty-five cents a week ought to be sufficient. Nor should they pay their bills for other than college expens,~s made by a minor without a written order from them authorizing the same. Oitizens are notified not to credit students without permission of parent or guardian.
The averag8 age of tihe male student is over eighteen years, and a large majority are young men delraying their own expenses. There is rarely a case for discipline, as tht) studenb are here for 8tully. This is not the school for intercollegiate football a11d baseball, for idleness and frivolity, for fun and dissipation; but manly sports, innoc-ent pleasures, regular physical training 10r all, hard study and excellence in character are the requisites.
St6ct military rules, to enable the formation of good habits combined with the grcatest freedom to develop self-government, is the method pursucd.

171
The Epworth League, B. Y. P. U. and Y. ::\1. C. A. are well attended. From fifty to one hundred of the students attend these senices every Sunday afternoon. The Chapel Hymnal required for morning devotional services is used in these meetings.
ORATORY.
The College is one of the five members of the State Oratorical Association. Mr. B. P. Gaillard represented the institution in 1897, and Mr. W. 111. Smith in 1898; Mr. F. H. McClesk.'" in 18~9 ; Mr. W. M:. Smith in 1900, and :!\'II'. No'.'l W. Grant in 1902. Three times the college orator ranked third, and this year Mr. Grant won the Graves Medal over the representatives of University, Emory, Mercer and Tech.
During the past year the college enrolled 157 students from 57 counties. Owing to the improvement in dormitory facilities and the enrichment of our courses of study, we Dpened last week with 181 in attendance, the largest attendmlCe the first week of t:he session in the history of the College.
In conclusion, I desire to express to you my appreciation of your work for education in Georgia, and to thank you for 'your help in bringing this institution to t'he attention of the people. I am.
Very respectfully,

J. T. ::.\iILLER,

J. T. SARGENT,

G. G. EVANS.

JONAS J. SEABOLT, County School Commissioner.

To the Grand Jury of Lumpkin County:
Gentlemen: This communication is addressed to your body, for the reasons hereafter given.
vVhiIe it is true that the boards of education derive their powers from the General Assembly of Georgia, it has been left to the grand juries of the several counties to put these powers into operation by selecting the members thereof, and filling vacancies, from time to time, as they may occur.
In addition to this, the grand juries annually, and as often as may be deemed necessary, examine the books of the county school commissioners to see if the monies for the support of public schools have been faithfully accounted for. There is no law requiring the boards, through their presidents, to report anything more than is contained in the county school commissioners' reports, as the commissioner may make to the grand juries. There are good reasons why there should be the closest relations between the juries and the boards, and why the public might not have, in the presentments of the grand juries, such suggestions on education as might seem to be proper. These views would be disseminated, and much good accomplished by officiai means.

173
The peopie's hearts are right, in a general way, and all that is now needed to get the children into the schools is to make the parents feel that there is a heavy moral and political responsibility resting upon them. The schoolhouses are ready and the children abound everywhere. "Let them be gathered in." The people must get nearer to the schools and the teachers. Grand jurymen and school trustees can be a mighty help in agitating the question of education.
It is true that our board m~kes its quarterly and annual reports to the State School Commissioner, and the information thus conveyed is annually placed in a large volume, which goes to the Legislature and public libraries, but not in such a shape as will reach the common people and be read by them. It is not likely that there are five citizens ot Lumpkin county, outside the members of the board of education, who know how many schools we have in the county, the names and number of teachers, their pay, and where the schoolhouses are located.
This report is made to your honorable body in order that the facts and information it contains about our school Interests may be known to every father and mother and guardian of children in the county, and know what advantages they possess in matters connected with the educational advancement of their children.
I believe that what is contained in this brief circular. or report, if read, will greatly increase the desire to have all the children of school age-6 to 18 years of age-in the public schools of the county.
A school map of the county accompanies this report, from which it will be seen at a glance, where the schools are located. The location of the schoolhouses has been a work of no less than four years. Obtaining deeds for lanG has also been a heavy task. There have arisen local controversies in regard to almost every school site. Neighbors would contest against neighbors, all wishing to have the schools as near their own homes as possible. Often tile

174
question of facilities for reaching the schoolhouses-the danger from the rapid rising of our mountain streamswould arise and have to be settled. vVhen, however, all the facts were ascertained, and an eligible site was obtained by deed, the location was arbitrarily decided by the board. The wisdom of these selections is now admitted on all hands. Of course, in every case, the question of school population, and how best to give the greatest good to the greatest number of children, had to be considered as well as the distance to be traveled, which will hardly exceed, in any case, more than two miles and a half. A few small children may not live handy to some of the schools, but many of these live near schools in adjoining counties. An arrangement prevails with neighboring school commissioners whereby children living near to schools, in White, Hall and Dawson counties, may attend the same, and children in those counties may likewise attend our schools where it is most convenient, the commissioners adjusting the question of "pay" between themselves.
There is now no longer any reason why every boy or girl of eight or ten years of age, may not attend the public schools of the county.
The board of education has under its control, outside of the city of Dahlonega, thirty-one schools, three of these being for the colored children, and have been located so as to be convenient to the colored population of the county, which is small. The schoolhouses for the colored children have been made comfortable, both for summer and winter use. The teachers have uniformly been selected from among the best colored male and female teachers sent out by the Atlanta colleges for colored people.
The thirty-one schoolhouses have a seating capacity sufficient to accommodate two thousand children. If at any time it should appear that any of the schools are too crowded, the size of the houses can readily be increased. Of the above thirty-one schoolhouses, all have been made new or repaired within the past three years.

175
SCHOOLHOUSES AND WHY BUILT.
Five years ago I was honored with a seat in the board of education of Lumpkin county. Three years ago I was made president of the board. My first work was to ascertain why so few young men and young women of Lumpkin county were seeking higher education in the N. G. A. College at Dahlonega, when so many from other counties were availing themselves of the advantages afforded by this institution. Only a few from Lumpkin county had ever graduated. These were finding lucrative employment in various avocations at home and elsewhere. But it must be true that several hundred young men and young women of the county, between fifteen and eighteen years, were not going to school anywhere! I was determined to find out, if possible, the causes for this wonderful lack of interest on the part of our young people, and I made a tour of the whole county with a view of seeing for myself, and making enquiries of the young people themselves. I found that there was but one schoolhouse in the county under the entire control and ownership of the board, and this one could not be used with comfort in the winter months. All the rest of the schools were taught in churches or miserable excuses for houses unfit for almost any purpose. A few of these places had been gotten up years ago, jointly for school and church purposes. In one or two cases, the people had built the house for school and law ground purposes. But not a solitary one of these so-called houses were suitable for school purposes. Many of them leaked so that children could not sit inside without getting wet whenever it rained. On one occasion the school waited for my coming, and when I reached the place every child was wet, every bench was wet, all the book~ were wet, and the young female teacher was almost drenched. I immediately dismissed the school, informing the young lady that her salary for the balance of the term would be paid, but that the

176
school should close, as I was unwilling that the board should be charged with the sickness and probable death of children. The teacher persisted, however, in teaching on dry days, and keeping up the school. In about six months she carried her pupils into a beautiful new schoolhouse, and when Miss Lila Cain left the county to take charge of a department in a growing college at Jesup, Georgia, she was at the head of one of the largest and best conducted public schools in the county!
But my inquiries among the young men and young girls led to obtaining information like the following: Some did not believe that our young teachers could instruct them. Others had been kept away to do home-work until they were ashamed to enter school and learn in classes with very young girls and boys. This was true of quite a large number of girls, who had had the care of sick mothers, and looking after the younger children o~ the family. Not a few young men, having neglected to go to school until they were married, or had heavy farm work to do they couid not and would not attempt to catch up in book-knowledge. One or more young men attempted to prove to me that education was not necessary to enable them to hold office and go to the Legislature, as they knew several men elected to office in Lumpkin county who could not read and write. But three years ago the great obstacle to all classes was the want of schoolhouses and proper accommodation on the premises for the sexes.
From the moment I saw the wretched-looking shacks or barns where schools were taught, I determined to wipe out . these disgraceful substitutes, and erect houses that would shelter our children, and of which they could be proud. To do this would require the abandonment of some of the locations, the separation of the schools from the churches, and the law-ground court-houses. It would require the consolidation of some of the schools. Many of the schools were located without reference to population or distance to

177
be traveled by the children. Very often the wishes of a few prominent citizens prevailed over everything. Churches were accepted because the citizens could thereby save a few dollars, if a schoolhouse had to be built. Besides, wa~ it not so understood when the house was built that it should be used for both church and school purposes? To change any of these old arrangements was to bring about heartburnings and discord. Some of the schools had to stop in order that a little money could be added from the teachers' pay while the building was going up. Every schoolhouse has a little different history from every other schoolhouse, and I invite you to read what I have said about each and every schoolhouse under its appropriate name.
The work of building schoolhouses in the county is nearly finished. Two schoolhouses, one at Jay, in Davis District, and the other at Macedonia church, in Porter Springs District, have been burned down, and just as soon as the funds can be raised efforts will be made to restore these houses. Schools have been taught at these two places, but not in a satisfactory way. The patrons of the Garnet school have been patient, and although the school there has been taught all the time, owing to various con:tentions, their school building had not received that attention which it needed. But the patrons of this school have recently settled that question in a decisive day, and "Garnet school" will be made ready as a winter school before Janu., arv next.
By considerable effort on the part of the commissioner and myself, we have been able to supply all the schools with teachers this fall. The compensation of teachers has not been lessened since I became a member of the board, but on two occasions the pay has been increased, and we now pay $20, $25 and $30. Those possessing first grade licenses get the last named sum per month. In every possible instance we have discouraged teachers of the "third grade," and we have only two of the "third grade" now employed in the white schools. After the close of this year no teacher pos-

li8
sessing a third grade license will be contracted with. They must return to their studies in schools and colleges and prepare themselves for teaching. It is impossible for a teacher of the third grade to give satisfaction. Persons holding these licenses need not hereafter apply. To employ them is to throw money away. The people of the county are demanding better teachers, and the time will come when only teachers with first grade licenses will be employed, except as assistants and in rare emergencies.
Next year all teachers who expect to teach in Lumpkin county may prepare themselves to be examined here. And all teachers who are employed here will be expected to attend the institute for this county.
The work of the different schools in the county for 1902 has been more satisfactory than for 1901. The low attendance last year was largely owing to the presence of smallpox and scarlet fever in many parts of the county. So far the attendance this summer has averaged 70 per cent. of the enrollment, but this is not such a showing of attendance as we ought to have. vVhat can be done to increase the attendance? I believe that I have found a solution to this engrossing question. It is by giving up the schools for the summer months and making everything ready for
WINTER SCHOOLS.
Let us for a moment allude to the hinderances to our summer schools. First, the children-most of them-are just from the heavy work of "laying by" the crops, say the middle of July. Second, the teacher is busy the first month in grading the pupils, getting books for them, and becoming acquainted. In the second month the school is in confusion on account of the universal custom of our people to have protracted religious meetings, which parents wish their children to attend. This desire can hardly be resisted. Thus every class in the school is broken up, and the teacher

179
has no remedy but to fall into the meetings, if he be so inclined. As soon as the schools recover from these interruptions, there is a call in the third month for fodder-pulling, with the picking of cotton and peas. This ends the chapter, and the schools from that time on are mere "skeletons of themselves." Besides, after all, the pupils were making but little progress on account of the heat of the season. Fe".. summers have been so hot as the present one, and I have noticed great apathy and drowsiness on the part of the pupils. In one school, Mr. Arandale's, at Fairview, the thermometer in the middle of the afternoon stood at 99 degrees. The schoolhouse is a new one and well ventilated, . yet the heat was so great the children could not study. Recollections of my own experience as a school-boy came back to me, and I more than ever decided that a mid-summer school was not fruitful of good results, and that the early fall months were not much better.
I have conversed with the most intelligent and thoughtful people of the county, among them many mothers, and without a dissenting opinion, all have agreed that schools kept in the winter months are the best for the children and all concerned. Of course, to accomplish the best results the houses must be made comfortable in every respect. Then we can have five months of study, without a break of any sort, except for a few days at Christmas. The work should begin in October, and the schools will open just as rapidly as the houses are made ready. A few of them are ready now.
The expenses of the board have been economically met. Although we have added no less than $5,000 to the school property in the past three years, we have incurred no debts, and have increased the salary of our teachers. When most of the county boards of education in the State were behind with their "teacher's pay," the board of education of Lumpkin county did not owe its teachfrs anything. If a teacher needed money before his pay waf>
12 Be

180
due, he was accommodated by a friend of the board without paying interest or being subjected to a discount by "shylocks," who are every ready to help (?) teachers in this way. If necessary the board of education could have borrowed money at a low rate of interest. This has never been required. I can now think of but one reason why thill board should ever borrow money, and that would be when suitable furniture is bought for the schools. Seats, desks, blackboards, and many useful appliances are now needed, but the people themselves are, in some cases, coming to the help of the schools. If the citizens of each school district would tax themselves a small amount, like the citizens of Dahlonega are doing for the support of their city schools, all schools in the county would soon have every needed appliance. When will that time come?
I respectfully urge upon the grand jury of Lumpkin county to recommend that a tax of 25 cents for each hundred dollars of the value of real and personal property outside of Dahlonega, be assessed and paid for the support of the public schools of the county. If every taxpayer in Dahlonega pays from 65 to 70 cents, the rural taxpayer can well afford to pay 25 cents on everyone hundred dollar" of property. The country schoolhouses are already paid for, and only a sufficient amount of money is needed to pay for school furniture and increase the pay of the teacher. The sessions of the schools could in this way be extended to at least seven months in the year.
If this were done, then the attendance would be 90 per cent, at least, of the school population where it is now 70 per cent!

DAHLONEGA AND HER NOW FAMOUS GRADED SCHOOLS.
The city's school system was organized under an Act of the General Assembly of December 17, 1894, and is controlled by a Board of Trustees, consisting of the following named ge"ntlemen:
Han. W. A. Charters, President; Dr. H. C. \Vhelche1,
V-President; J. F. Moore, Secretary and Treasurer; H. 0.
Gurley and J. M. Brooksher.
FACULTY. Prof. Joel Mann Martin, Superintendent and Principal; Miss Belle Marion Tharin, Miss Kate R. Faver, Miss Fannie Gaillard.

THE CITY SCHOOLS.
The necessity for a system of graded schools in Dahlonega was a felt want for more than a quarter of a century. There was no near-by school to prepare pupils for entrance into the N. G. A. College. Unless a Preparatory Department could be maintained at the colle~e, our children had to abandon all hope of higher education. This kept many young men and young women from applying for entrance into the college. The board of trustees of the colIegt< sought to remedy this want by maintaining a Sub-Freshman class. Still, many pupils, who had been at the public schools of the county, failed to avail themselves of the faCIlities offered by the college. To meet the demands of the occasion, the people of Dahlonega, especially the taxpayers, resolved to establish a system of graded schools, where the children of the city and country could be prepared for higher education, by attending nine months of the year. An arrangement has existed by which pupils could attend the public schools in the country for five months, and then be transferred to the city schools by paying a small tuition fee, and continue their studies for four months longer. In this way, many pupils might enter the college who could not be prepared in any other manner. The city school has caused nearly every person within school age to attend the sessions the past two years. The total enrollment last year was 243 white pupils, with an average daily attendance of 152 pupils. The scheme has worked well. The people of the city are uncomplainingly sustaining the schools. While the public schools of the county are largely doing the elementary work, the city school is performing the necessary training work upon those students who expect to enter college for higher education. The public school and the graded school are stepping-stones--stepping into the c:ollege. What better system could our people desire? \iVhen the people out-

side the city discover that their duty lies in a better support of the public schools, and give their consent to be taxed a small annual sum to supplement the amount now given by the State, then, and not until then, will our rural schools come up to the full measure of the work before them. The tax secured from each militia district should be sacredly applied to furnishing the school or schools in that district with modern school furniture and all needed educational appliances, as well as supplementing the pay of the teachers for that district.
When the resident citizens and taxpayers of Dahlonega decided to submit to an educational tax, they set an example which all other towns and communities in Georgia would do well to follow. It will surely, in the end, solve the question of education in our midst.
The board of trustees for the city schools maintains a school for the colored children within the corporate limits, to which all children of that race can attend. The teacher has heretofore given satisfaction.
SCHOOLHOUSES AND WHERE LOCATED.
No. 1. HIGHLAND.-So called because it is situated on the highest point of land of any school in the county, near the left prong of Chestatee river, at the base of the Blue Ridge. The school was taught in Corinth Baptist church, but as the board had a title to one acre of land on the highland, the school and church were separated, and a new schoolhouse was built. With a little expense the house can be made comfortable for a winter school. The lot (one acre) was donated by David Jarrett. Present teacher is Mr. - - Nelson.
No. 2.PISGAH.-This house was built for church and school, and so unwilling were the people to change the location, it was finally agreed, in writing, that the board of edu-

185
cation should always control the teacher, who should not be disturbed by the church during school hours. The church, known as Mt. Pisgah, should have the right to complain to the board if the teacher was incompetent or immoral. The board of education paid for ceiling, and will furnIsh stove for heating the house. This contract is spread on the m111utes of Mt. Pisgah church and that of the board of education, and is a final disposition of the question of control. The school is called Pisgah, and has, perhaps, the largest enrollment of any public school in the county. The aver-
age attendance is likewise the greatest. Mr. M. L. Seabolt
is the teacher.
NO.3. LEWIS.-Named in honor of the late Hon. David 'vV. Lewis, who for thirteen years was president of the N. G. A. College at Dahlonega, and to whose memory a beautiful monument has been erected on the grounds of the college. Formerly a school was maintained near the White county line, on land belonging to the teacher, Mr. Wm. Grindle, but the house was too far from the center of the school district to accommodate the children who resided in that school district. This was remedied by purchasing land from Mrs. Martha Grindle, at the Frogtown law-ground, where a new schoolhouse was erected. It will be ceiled and painted this fall, and made ready for a winter school. Mr. O. C. Fleming is teacher.
NO.4. GRACE.-This school was for many years taught in Mt. Zion church, ncar the White county line, and the pupils were about equally divided between the two counties, and many children of Lumpkin county did not attend on account of the great distance. After many efforts to separate the church and school, a suitable lot was donated by Messrs. Joseph Christopher and John B. Stringer, the place selected being the old schoolhouse lot, where a school was taught sixty years ago, or more. The schoolhouse needs but little work to complete it for a winter school. A new

186
schoolhouse has been built just across the county line on Mr. Rodgers' land, and there are now two schoolhouses where none existed before. lVIr. Urban Bowen is teacher.
NO.5. WAHOO.-Messrs. G. G. Evans and H. L. Pierce, neighbors, donated the land and the schoolhouse was built by the board. At the present time, the number of pupils attending this school is probably greater in proportion to school population, than any other school in the county. It was recently stated that only about half a dozen children of the school district were out of school. Mr. Utah Anderson is the teacher.
No.6. GARLAND.--This school was for many years kept in Mt. Gilead Baptist church, and the new schoolhouse is in sight of the old church, and the children use water from the famous "Mt. Gilead Spring." The lot on which the house is located was donated by Mr. John H. Redmond. The present teacher is M. 'vV. Bowen.
N. 7. GARNET.-Near the Garnet mines, on a lot donated by the company of that name. Owing to the fact that there has been much contention about the proper location of this school, the board has done very little for it. Recently the patrons have spoken so unequivocally about this matter, that the present site will be retained. As soon as the present term is out the board will order that this schoolhouse shall receive a thorough overhauling, and made ready by January for a winter school.
No. 8. LYDIA.-A new and very excellent house was erected near Macedonia church, wherein was formerly taught the pupils of Porter Springs District. Land was
donated by Mr. J. P. Smith, and the new schoolhouse was
occupied for about one month when, through the carelessness of both teacher and pupils, the house caught fire in some manner from the stove-flue and burned down, saving

YAHOOLA.-PUBLIC SCEIOOL No. ro.

188
only the windows and some seats. The present school has been taught at the old Cedar Mountain camp-ground by M. C. Jarrard. It depends upon circumstances when a new schoolhouse will be built, but it would delight the board of education if a new house could be erected by January, 1903. The name Lydia has been given to this school because, Lydia was the first convert of Paul in Macedonia. Macedonia is the name of the Baptist church near by, and this name is given to prevent confusion, and will be used unless a better one is furnished after the new house takes the place of the one destroyed by fire.
NO.9. LIBERTY.-So called because the first citizens of that section of the county worshiped in old Liberty Baptist church, long since decayed. The school site was conveyed to the board of education by Andrew Caldwell. Miss Laura Cavender is the present teacher.
Ko. ro. YAHOOLA.-The little old log house where children so miserably assembled, has faded from recollection, and the new schoolhouse opposite to the church, on the Cedar Mountain road, has taken its place. The old spring continues to supply the children with the coolest of water. A picture of the school and its pupils is presented. in this report. It was taken soon after the new house wa~ occupied and before the fallen trees were taken away. It is one of the largest schools under the board's controL Miss Mary Davis has taught there for two years.
No. II. DEvVEY.-This name was given to this beautifully located school because Admiral Dewey had become the greatest living sea captain of the age, by the capture of Manila, in the Philippines, and the entire destruction of the Spanish Navy in the Pacific ocean, May I, 1898. He had won the greatest naval victory recorded up to that time, without the use of alcoholic liquors by himself or his gallant sailors. Only coffee was used as a mild stimulant.

189
This school, under Miss Lila Cain, became one of the largest and best in the county. The land was donated by W. K. P. Head. Present teacher, John Davis.
No. 12. CURRY.-This school is located on land donated by Messrs. Price and Charters, three miles east of Dahlonega. It bears the name of one of the grandest and best men of the age-Hon. Jabez L. M. Curry, agent of the Peabody Educational Fund. Dr. Curry is distinguished as a teacher, preacher and statesman. He was likewise a valorous soldier in the Mexican war, and fought under the "Stars and Bars" for the Southern Confederacy. He is known, also, as an accomplished diplomat, having been Vnited States Minister to Spain during President Cleveland's administration. His book, "The South," has become a text-book in many colleges. Above all, he is a native of Georgia, and an humble, devout Christian. The schoolhouse is admirably located to meet the wants of our mining community as well as the surrounding rural population. Present teacher, Mr. VV. F. Bryson.
No. 13. ASHLEY.-Located three and one-half miles south of Dahlonega, with a view of the Chestatee river for about one mile. A more delightful location could nowhere be found. The lot-one acre-is used by written consent of Geo. H. Bryerman and the late Frank 'vV. Hall. A deed will hereafter be executed. The building was erected at the expense, equally of the board and Jas. M. Ashley, of Toledo, Oh~o, who has been dredge mining extensively in Lumpkin and Dawson counties. 'vVhile engaged in dredge minillg on the Chestatec, he savv that the children of many of his employees were not attending school, indeed there were no nearby school facilities for them, and he proposeci to give $100 towards the building. His offer was accepted, and the new schoolhouse is having it first term, with about fifty pupils. Being a college-bred man, Mr. Ashley appreciates the usefulness of schools, especially among the

190
laboring class. No school in the county will reach, perhaps, more children of miners than this one. Already the benign influences of the school are seen and felt in the neighborhood. It will soon lead to the erection of a church, where all may worship together. The school is taught by Mr. Paul Abbott. By permission of the board a Sunday-school may be carried on in the school building.
No. 14. AURARIA.-The board believed that, in a short time, Auraria might become a great educational center for the southern part of the county. The district has a large school population, and these will largely attend Auraria school. To accomplish this purpose, and have one house large enough for all, the schoolhouse known as "Keystone," was consolidated with Auraria. Children west of the river can attend "Betz School," and those in the southern part of the school district (Leather's ford) can attend "Fairview." By contributions of citizens, the schoolhouse at Auraria was made somewhat larger than most of the new schoolhouses. It is being Pl,lt in excellent condition for a winter school. The land for Auraria school was donated by the late Capt. Jno. 'vV. 'vVeaver. The present teacher is Mr. V. R. Hicks.
No. 15. HAYGOOD.-Kamed 111 honor of the late Bishop Atticus G. Haygood, of the North Georgia Methodist Conference. For several years before his death he did much hard work in the cause of education in the South, especially for the whites and blacks in Georgia. The land was donated by Martin L. Jones. Present teacher is Mr. W. D. Seabolt.
No. 16. FROBEL.-This school is seven miles north of Dahlonega, near Cane Creek Baptist church, on land donated by M. R. Bryan. The little old dangerous schoolhouse was demolished, and the pupils now have a pretty building ceiled and painted. It will comfortably seat all

191
the children of school age in the upper part of Cane Creek District. After numerous surveys and examinations it was plainly seen that it was necessary to construct two schoolhouses in that district on account of its great length. The school will be designated and known by the name of Frobd -German Froebel-in honor of two very distinguished men of that name. Frederick Froebel was an educational reformer in Germany seventy-five years ago, and with his wife established "Kindergartens" for children, which a former pupil of Proebel describes as "a paradise for children." The system which Proepel established is still kept up in many cities. "He elaborated the method which he invented, and has left it a gospel to childhood, for its principle is that free creativeness is at once the means and end of human education, and begins in spontaneous play so guarded and guided as to coincide with God's creativeness." He died in Germany in 1852. The other one of that name was the late Bushrod 'Washington Frobel, a distinguished Confederate artillery officer and engineer, who was for several years the chief officer of public works in Georgia. He was a Virginian by birth, a graduate of the United States Naval Academy, and was Longstreet's chief of artillery at the second battle of Manassas. He was an humble, pious layman in the Episcopal church, and a teacher in its Sundayschool. He was greatly instrumental in getting congress to survey a canal to connect the waters of the Mississippi with the Atlantic ocean. He was the companion and friend of the writer for many years, and his name is given to this little mountain school as a slight testimonial of his friendship for one who loved and fought for Georgia, worked hard to build up her waste places, and died while engaged in constructing the Macon and Northern Railroad. All that was human of this excellent man lies buried in the soil of Geor-
gia at Atlanta. The present teacher is J. F. Prewett.
No. 17. HILL-TOP.-Located on land purchased from Samuel S. Gaddis, and is within sight of Pleasant Hill Bap-

192
-tist church, in which the school was taught for many years. The patrons-some of them-were so opposed to separating the school from the church that they refused to help build the new schoolhouse. All now see the propriety of the change and the school is progressing under the present teacher, Mr. - - Davis.
Ko. 18. GROVE.-The schoolhouse is located near Oak Grove Baptist church, on land donated by Capt. F. M. Williams. The school was for a long time taught in Hampton's Chapel, a small frame building, and used for school purposes until it rotted down and was removed entirely away. The neighborhood is a good one and can readily furnish 60 or 70 pupils. It will soon be completed and used as a winter school. Its present teacher is Miss Higgins.
No. 19. PLAIN VIEW.-Located five miles west of Dahlonega, on the Ellijay road. The land was donated by Mr. T. W. Kellogg of Atlanta. It is in the south end of Davis District, and now that there is a safe iron bridge over the Etowah river, several pupils come from the west side of the river to this school, which can seat 70 or 80 pupils. The school formerly occupied Davis Chapel (Methodist). It will be completed for a winter school. The present teacher. is Mr. H. R. Sutton.
No. 20. BETZ SCHOOL.-Narned m honor of Mr. John F. Betz of Philadelphia, Pa., whose gold mills are near by. The land was donated by Mr. Betz. The children are principally from the families of miners and small farmers. It can readily seat 70 or 80 pupils. The present teacher is Mr. Joshua Anderson.
No.2!. FAIRVIEW.-Is located nine miles southwest of Dahlonega, on an acre lot donated by Mrs. Jennie H. McMillan of Atlanta. The school formerly used Soule's ,Chapel (Methodist church), and the present school is with-

193
-in a quarter of a mile of that church. The community formg the southern part of Auraria district, and contains many children of school age. A winter school will be
taught here, and it is expected that no less than 75 or 80
pupils will attend. The present teacher is Mr. J. V. Aran-
dale.
No. 22. FOREST.-This school is in Mill Creek District, near the church of that name. The school has long been taught in a small framed building, claimed to have been built for a schoolhouse and also for holding justice's court5 and elections. The new schoolhouse is located near the old building on land donated by Price & Charters, being a part of land lot No. 128-5-1. The present teacher is Miss Lula f-Iiggins.
No. 23. ETO\VAH.-This school was long known as the "lay Schoo1." \Vithin the last five or six years no less than three schoolhouses and their contents have been burned down here. Various surmises as to who the miscreants were have been given, but no evidence has been produced, though the board of education has been willing to pay a reasonable reward for information to convict. The board was unwilling to build or repair any more schoolhouses at . that point, but have been willing to pay the teacher a salary if the people would build a suitable house, or a house of any kind in which a school could be taught. This they have recently done, and a snug "pine-pole" house, well covered, has been erected on land donated by Mr. Isaac Woody, near the Hightower Bapti.st church. This house will be temporarily made comfortable for winter use, and if no future disaster occurs, a better building may take its place, after a few terms have been taught. The school has been nameJ Etowah because it is within sight of that stream. The present teacher is Mr. A. C. Shuler, who has gathered the scattered pupils into the primitive log cabin, and appears to be as happy as if he was in a "marble hall."

194
No. 24. NIMBLEWILL ACADEMY.-This is the largest common public school building in the county, and has facilities for instructing one hundred pupils. The citizens of Nimblewill district met in convention, and decided to consolidate Post Oak and Noonday schools with Nimblewill school, and locate the last named school in the center of the school district as near as possible. Nine prominent citizens located the site on land lot No. 314-5..,1, and procured a deed to the same from Mr. John F. Bennett. The community raised a considerable sum of money by voluntary subscriptions, which, added to what the board of education could give, paid for a very handsome school edifice, on a beautiful eminence on the road to the Amicalola falls. The patrons have selected the best teachers, to be found. The pupils have nearly numbered one hundred, requiring at one time an assistant teacher. This school possesses the only large bell, which from the Academy tower, is heard a distance of four or five miles. The building itself, with red roof and painted in attractive colors, catches the eyes of the traveler. The entire school district is proud of its fine Academy, and its presence has spread a fine moral influence over the entire neighborhood. Prof. Carl Schultz is now at the head of this school.
No. 25. JONES CREEK.-This school holds itself well in hand in the mountains of the western part of the county. The old schoolhouse has given way to a new one, which will comfortably hold all the children which can reach the place. A deed has been procured to the land. The present teacher is Mr. B. T. Montgomery.
No. 26. CENTER.-This school was for a long time taught in Mt. Zion Baptist church, which was built for both school and church purposes, but the members declining to put the agreement upon their minutes, allowing the board to control the school, another lot was procured and a very comfortable house was built. Several surveys were made

in order to scttle the qucstion of location, and as the presertt site was found to be very near the center of the school district it was so called by that name. It needs to be ceiled to make it comfortable as a winter schoo!. Miss Louisa Anderson is the present teacher.
No. 27. SEVEN MlLE.-Is the name of a school on the Gainesville road in Martin's Ford District, being seven miles south of Dahlonega. The land was given many years ago by the late Stephen Poor, and the house built by patrons and friends. The trustees were never appointed by the board of education, but they were appointed by themselves as vacancies occurred. A contract was made in writing giving the exclusive control of the school to the board of education of the county, but the building remained in control of its own trustees. The house was painted by our board, and school articles supplied, while the trustees were to ceil the building and make repairs from time to time. This has never been done. The location in the first place was rather arbitrary, and the general impression is that it is not the proper place for a schoolhouse, The patrons are not in harmony and it is difficult to keep the school up to the legal average attendance unless children from Hall county come in. It is quite possible that, in time, the school will be moved where the school population is denser and more likely to attend. The present teacher is Mr. John Byers.
No. 28. GLENN.-Named in honor of Hon. G. R. Glenn, the present State School Commissioner. The land was donated by Judge John Huff, ordinary of Lumpkin county, and is located in the southeastern part of the county. Mr. Glenn gave some valuable articles to be sold and the money applied to the school. The articles have been sold, and the sum realized has proved sufficient to pay for handsome seats and desks manufactured at Gainesville. The children and patrons are proud of "Glenn Schoo!." It has been placed in spendid condition for a winter schoo!' Prof H. S. Crawford is the present teacher.

SCHOOLS FOR COLORED PEOPLE.
No. 29. HICKORY.-This school is kept in a Methodist church at Big :;'-lickory, by which name the church is called. The colored people unanimously desired that the school be kept in the church, as heretofore. The board expended a considerable sum to put the building in suitable condition, appointed trustees to represent the board of education, which, under the contract, has complete control over the school. The present teacher is Mary L. Law.
No. 30. LO\iVRY.-This school is about three and onehalf miles northeast of Dahlonega, and a worthy colored man by the name of Samuel Lowry was, perhaps, the first teacher. The school has always exerted a good influence 011 the community. The present teacher is Rosa Reed.
No. 31. KEI1'H.-This school is located nearly four miles from Dahlonega, near the Auraria road. The site was donated by the Dahlonega Consolidated Gold Mining Company. The house is a new one and in every respect comfortable for the children. It bears the name of a well-known colored man, now deceased-Daniel Keith-who was a practical gold miner, and could read and write very well. He was a Baptist preacher and had a wide influence over his cqlored brethren for good. The present teacher is Helen Reed.
A V/ORD CONCERNING THE COLORED PEOPLE.
Appreciating the importance of giving to their children every possible school advantage, the families of colored people have generally congregated in three settlements outside of Dahlonega. The colored people inside the corporate limits of Dahlonega have a school for their children, which is under the control of the city board of education. The

197
. county board of education has had no control of this school since the city of Dahlonega took charge of its own ~chools. These three settlements have a school each, supp]j'2d with teachers and such school appliances as the board of education could supply. The school for colored people in Dahlonega was the first one built in Northern Georgia after the civil war, and it played an important part in the settlement of the Fifteenth Amendment by Mr. Geo. S. Boutwell (author of the amendment), as applied to schools and colleges in Georgia. The land was donated by W. P. Price, Sr., for a colored school, in the year 1870. It is the oldest schoolhouse in Lumpkin county now in use.
In conclusion, I desire to commend our County School
Commissioner, Mr. Jonas J. Seabolt, who went into office
about the time the writer became a member of the board. He has always been prompt, diligent and faithful. He was for some years a teacher himself in the public schools, and being a native of the mountains of Lumpkin county, his knowledge of the people and the topography of the county have enabled him to be of great advantage in the location of schoolhouses. We have canvassed the county together more than once, and I delight to bear testimony to his fitness, in every respect, for the office of county school commissioner. I would be very glad if the grand jury could provide him a suitable office for his books, papers and library. The law contemplates that this should be done, but there is now no suitable room in the court-house for this purpose. The business of the board of education is incff~asing every year, and some provision should be made for storing the books and other property of the board of education of the county.
All of which is respectfully submitted. W. P. PRICE, Sr.,
President of the Bo;:trd of Education,

Everyone who has seen the effects of these libraries upon the school and the community, has been convinced that the district school library is the most valU'a'ble adjunct to the 8c11oO'oi1 next to the teacher.
So dearly is this recognized by school officials, that 29 of the States a1llow a small paJ't of tIm school funds to be used in buying books for supplemental reading and general culhue. ~ine of the Southern States an'c1 Arizona do nothing in this work. In 'a large lnajori'ty of the Staltes nothing is granted from the sc:hool funds unless sOlJl1elthing is given by the people of HIe district.
I believe the time has conm when we should make permanenlt arrangements for supplying libraries in our rural districts. I, ,therefoJle, T(>commend the pi1ls:sage c)f a law allowing county school commissioners to set aside an amount, not to exceed $10.00 a year for 'an'y school community that will raise, by donation or otherwise, an equal aU10llllt, the combined fund to be used in the purchase of library books from a Jist, prepared by a committee of four e'dnca!tms appointed by 'the Goymnor for a term: of years.
'rhe State Edllcat-iorml Association, the Conn'ty School Commissioners' Associ'a,tion, the Southern Educational Association and the General Educational Conference have all adopted rcsoluhons urging the palssage 0' such a larw.
'rho State and county commissioners can prc1lare I'egulri-

tions looking to the safe-keeping and loan of books. The machineryisallready in operation. We need only a law authorizing the use of the money an:d granting the pre!Scl1It officials the right to regulate the same. N,o 'distri'Ct will get any money from the school fund un'til it shows enough interest to raise money for the library. 'rhis being done, therewill be public sentiment back of it to pl'otect it.
I call your aittention :to an addre~s on this subject by Prcsident ,T. S. Stewart, in another pa.rt of this report. On another page yau wiHfinld a liE'tof 58 books s~le0ted by the Library Commit:tee for rural school libraries estahlished this year ,through the gift of 1\11'. Gev. Fostm Peabody, of New York, obtained by the chairman of this committec. Such books should be in reach of every ch!ilcl in Georgia.
