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. Summary of Statistics.

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: In the year 1900 Massachusetts spent for her schools, according to per capita of popula- tion $4 93 Rhode Island 3 66 -New york 10 4 60 Pennsylvanra . . . . . . .. 3 41 Ohio " 3 21 IlliIlJOis .. . . . . . . .. 3 68 'Colorado 5 18 Oalifornia . . . . . . . .. 4 65 Virginia 1 08 North Carolina.. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 51 South Carolina , . . 67 Florida 1 45 Alabama . . .. 50 Louisiana 82 Arkansas 1 04 Georgiil. 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 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 Wlie? ,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 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. 4sc 50 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. ATLANTA, GA., July 14, 1D02. To the Oounty Superintendent: Pursuant to the vote of the County Superinrendents' Association, at their meeting held at Augusta, May 20th, you are hereby notified that there will be an adjourned meeting of the Association at Athens on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, September 10th, 11th and 12th, 1902. It ,is desired to have a real round-table conference for the interchange of informa!tion concerning the condition of educational affiairs in Georgia, so that the needs of each locali,ty may be krrownby all. The following questions, among others, may ,serve to indicate the possible scope of the enquiry : 55 1. BUILDINGS- 1. How many bui1din'gs built by private 'Subscription? 2.

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. 2.

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 ,sKETCH OF PL~NTJNQ 75 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 Gardll 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 .. 107 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 sailwn ;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 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! 181 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. 182 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- 2.5, \v ... 17 1<- ,.A \10' IN : 6 .'-;,L J. " j; lL-~ 24 L Highland. 2. Pisgah. 3. Lewis. 4. Grace. 5. Wahoo. 6. Garland. i.

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. 13 sc 106 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, 198 LIBRARIES .FOIl HUBAL SCHOOLS. I wigh to comnwnd the 'Work of the Li'hrary Oommittee of the Georgia Educational Agsoei',lti0l1. Sinlce 1894 tllis committee, composed of the followingnamerl educators: Jos. S. Sle'wart, chairma'n; K 'C. Branson, iJ. B. Evan:s, M. L. Brittain, W. C. Wright, W. R. Powers" G. R. Glenn, c.r officio, have been active in showing the lack af library facilities in our schools and in planning Wiays and nlClans to put small libraries in the sclwals, or to circulate in the county from sdlO'ol t,o school. U nlcler this stimulus, aiderd by athens, over 400 libraries have been e,sltablished. 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.
