THE THIRTY-FOURTH ANNUAL REPORT
FROM THE
DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION
TO THE
GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE STATE OF GEORGIA.
Gentlemen of the General Assembly: The statements touching the condition and progress of edu-
cation, and the statistical reports required from the State School Commissioner in the Acts of 1892, page 82, can not give to the General Assembly every detail of our educational work, nor present so vividly as desirable the interest, the efforts, the difficulties encountered, and the triumphs of patrons and school officials in .the work of educating the children of the State. I trust that each member of the General Assembly has not only conferred earnestly with his constituents in regard to school problems, but has also visited the schools and inspected the methods and quality of the work. It is a matter of frequent occurrence, and gratifying to meet members of the General Assembly visiting our common schools, high schools and colleges. I want to assure you that the patrons of the common schools, though less demonstrative, are not less appreciative than those who represent institutions for higher education.
ANOTHER YEAR OF EDUCATIONAL PROGRESS.
The year 1905 has been notable in the history of our State for its material prosperity. Our educational institutions, from kindergarten to college, have enjoyed a large share of this pros-

6
perity. There has been a general forward movement along all lines of educational work There have been some notable instances of progress in school districts, in counties and in institutions for higher education.
In many rural communities the patrons have provided for long-term schools, and have built splendid schoolhouses. There is nothing in the State that so surely guarantees prosperity, culture and happiness to the next generation as the hundreds of modern school buildings planted in the midst of communities whose people are united in their sentiments, and who are determined to give their children the best possible educational advantages. There are many recent instances where schoolhouses worth one or two hundred dollars have been torn down and replaced by'" houses costing from one thousand to two thousand dollars.
In several counties the school officials and interested p<J trons have aroused enthusiasm for good schools in every Q_ trict of the county. Elsewhere in this Report you will find a brief account of the work by counties as reported by the County Superintendents. To an observer and co-worker in the educational field of this State it is more evident that one of the most effective forces in educational progress is efficient supervision-supervision that inspects, supervision that gives time to details, and supervision that gives wise and enthusiastic leadership.
As a means of arousing interest, County Contests for pupils have proven most effective. In another part of this Report will be found several programs of these contests. Our sch~ol work needs not only thorough supervision and full report through statistics and specimens of written work in the schools to school officers and patrons, but teachers and pupils need to be encouraged, their i.ntet'est and enthusiasm must be awakened. There is life and tremendous growth in enthusiasm.
Progressive school communities and counties have turned

7_
to the recent local taxation law as a means of securing longterm schools and a satisfactory school system. Within the last year many school districts and four counties, namely, Fulton, Hancock, Monroe and Randolph, have voted for local taxation for schools.
HIGH SCHOOLS AND AGRICULTURE.
The want of high schools is being keenly felt throughout the rural districts. It has been found easier to bring the high school to the rural pupils than to try to take rural pupils to the high schools already established principally in the towns and cities. If the Legislature will enact a law that will encourage the establishment of rural high schools, th.ese high schools, with the proper course of study, will bring to the pupils of the rural districts advantages which they have sorely needed. These pupils need high school work to prepare them for usefulness and happiness and good citizenship; they need the high school work to prepare them to enter the institutions of higher education in .our State. In the Report of Professor Matheson, of the State School of Technology, I note that only one-tenth of the students enrolled in that insti.tution are from the rural districts. In some of the rural high schools of our State agriculture is receiving a great deal of attention. Agriculture can best be taught in rural school~ where the necessary land for school gardens and experimental work can be secured. Our people are beginning to appreciate the advantages of agriculture as a branch of study in our common schools, high schools and colleges. In his message to the General Assembly last year, the Governor of Georgia gives some timely suggestions touching agricultural education:
"The groundwork of our prosperity is agriculture. And yet the State has rarely given direct assistance towards its development. In the past it has encouraged railroads and manu-

8
facturing enterprises by means of State aid, donations, sub~ scriptions, indorsements of bonds, and even more by exemption from taxation. But it has done little for that industry in which four-fifths of our people are exclusively engaged, and in which
all the rest are vitally interested. * * * *
"Securing improved seed, discovering the cause and cure of plant disease, the means of destruction of the boll-weevil, and other insect pests, the study of plant foods, the adaptability of soil to particular products, and the investigation of many of the problems which confront the agriculturist the world over. Our Experimental Station has done good work, but this is only
a small part of what the State can do. * * * *
"In no calling is there such demand for all-round men. When it is considered that the farmer must use, and necessarily repair, tools, wagons, l'eapers, cotton planters, gins, engines, and other appliances, it is apparent that he must have more or less mechanical skill. Successful terracing involves some engineering ability. The raising of stock, as well as the care of dairy cattle and farm animals, often calls for speedy action when a veterinary can not be obtained. Soil and fertilizers, and the adaptation of each to products involves problems of the most intricate character. In addition, he must have that business skill demanded of every man who is both buyer and seller.
"Agriculture is the most complex of all callings, and not only affords a field for the highest endeavor of mind and body, _but for its greatest success demands a special training to enable the farmer to cope with the infinite variety of practical questions with which he must deal. Planters recognize the imperative necessity for studying what others have done, and learning the secret of their success. State and County Fairs, Farmers' Clubs, Farmers' Institutes and Agricultural Societies are but some of the modern means by which the farmers of the country have themselves endeavored to meet this demand."

9
SCHOOL LEGISLATION.
Recognizing the need of revisions in our school laws, the General Assembly, in 1903, appointed a committee to recommend a codification and revision of the school laws. Senate Bill No. 53, which is now before the House, represents largely the recommendations of this committee and the present committees on education. The proposed amendments will bring greater efficiency and harmony in the administration and operation of our common school system. Among the most important provisions of this Bill are: Power of eminent domain is given County Boards for securing school sites; the County Board is given special authority in assisting in the erection of schoolhouses, establishing school libraries and consolidating schools; more frequent visits to schools are required of the County School Commissioners and specific duties as to supervision are enumerated; the County Board of Education may pay better salaries; the school year is changed to begin September 1st instead of January 1st; provision is made.for more than one set of examination questions for license in the several grades, and the standard of permanent license to teach is raised; diplomas from our Normal Schools are to be recognized as a license to teach.
The Bill provides for an increase of the salary of the clerk of the Department of Education, who should be familiar, by experience, with school problems, and who should be qualified as an educational expert to assist the State School Commissioner when necessary in making official visits for the purpose of inspection.
It would be well to revise our School Law touching Annual County Institutes. The experts, or institute instructors, should be required to make special preparation for the work in order to be placed on the eligible.1ist of Institute Instructors. It would

10
be well to have all these Instructors meet annually and assist in planning a definite course of institute work which will be carefully followed throughout the State.
The County School Commissioners, in their recent Annual Convention have wisely recommended that drawing be included in our State Course of Study, and that County Boards be given the power of introducing Manual Training into their schools as they think proper. The County School Commissioners have also recommended that some provision be made for gathering up and pt:inting a brief educational history of the State by counties. Much valuable matter can now be secured which will be lost before many years.
There is a great demand throughout the 'State for plans for school buildings. A resolution authorizing this Department to secure the best modern plans and issue a pamphlet containing these plans would greatly assist in the work of School Improvement.
NEW SCHOOLHOUSES.
During the year I90S an unusual number of school buildings were erected, the total number being two hundred and sixtyfive. In Gilmer county twelve new buildings were erected. Bulloch, Henry and Emanuel each erected ten new buildings. Pulaski erected eight, \iVashington, seven, Wilcox and Marion six, Screven, Charlton, Coffee and Warren, five, Irwin, TattnaIl, Towns, Twiggs, Upson, Walker and Wat th, four.
SUPERVISION OF SCHOOLS.
Thorough supervision is one of the essential features of the school system. As interest in education increases and school problems are better understood, the work of the superintendent is more appreciated. Strict requirements should be made as to the qualification of the County School Commissioner.

11
More liberal salaries should be paid, and when necessary in the larger counties a clerk should be provided, in order that the work of school supervision may be adequate. The maximum salary at present, under the general law (allowing a per diem of $3.00 per day) is $939.00 per annum; in one county the salary has been as low as $100.00. In several Southern States the minimum salary for County Superintendent has been fixed at $400.00, and in many counties the salaries of the County Superintendents range from $2,000 to $2,400.
The following statement is taken from the North Carolina School Report of 194:
"Under the amendment passed by the last General Assembly to the School Law allowing an increase in the salary of the County Superintendent, there has been a marked improvement in county supervision. The average salary of County Superintendents was, in 1903, $46.54, and in 1904, $506.63, as against $245.80 for 191, and $355.50 for 192, an increase of $51.04 in 1903, and of $100.09 in 1904, in the average salary of the County Superintendent. The total average salary of the County Superintendent for these two years is $3 I 1.87 more than the total average salary for the preceding two years. The average salary of the County Superintendent has been more than doubled since 1901.
The following resolution touching the qualifications of county superintendents were adopted by the State Board of Education of Louisiana, and recommended to the General Assembly of that State:
1. Scholastic qualifications r~quired of parish superintendents:
(a) A present technical knowledge of the subjects taught in the public schools, hold a State teachers' c,ertificate, and have taught at least twenty months within the six years immediately preceding his appointment as parish superintendent.
(b) The attainments necessary to enable him to examine the

12
papers in an examination for the three grades of teachers' certificates, taking into account the professional as well as the scholastic attainments of the applicants.
2. Professional qualifications required of parish superintendents:
(a) Ability to conduct a practical recitation and to test the work of the classroom.
(b) A practical knowledge of the theory and practice of teaching sufficient to advise and direct teachers of his parish in the schoolroom; and to direct, inspire, and train his corps of teachers in his parish teachers' meetings and institutes.
(c) Skill in assisting and advising his teachers in the application of a course of study, and the methods of instruction, to the end that his teachers may render their best service, and the time and opportunities of the children are not wasted.
(d) A practical knowledge of school systems, school apparatus, school supplies, and school buildings, to the end that he may give practical advice to his school board.
THE COLLEGES ARE PROSPEROUS.
The colleges of this State have enjoyed a year of unusual prosperity. The denominational colleges, private institutions and State institutions have been loyally supported by patronage and financial assistance. In all these institutions the buildings are being improved and extended, and the curricula are being raised and enriched. The statistical reports of these institutions will be found in detail elsewhere in this report.
The cause of education h,is sustained, a great loss in the death of Dr. Walter B. Hill, Chancellor of the University. His interest and his service touched every phase of educational work in this State. His interest in the welfare and upbuilding of the common schools of the State was felt and appreciated. In appreciation of his exalted character and the noble work

13
which he was doing and planning for the education of the rising generation, I wish to quote some extracts taken from the Hill Memorial Bulletin, published by the Trustees of the University. In his memorial address Prof. David C. Barrow says of Dr. Hill:
"He greatly valued what he called the spirit of service; by which he meant a willingness to do the general work of the University. When he found one who was willing to help in this way, he valued that man and let him know that his service
was appreciated. * * * * * "He was a practical friend, a man who preferred to show rather than tell his friendship. He was a wise friend-and he was so patient. Above all else, he could be relied on. He was oneof those rare men who will do more than he will promise: When men find such a man there comes the feeling of great restfulness. We trusted in his strength, we rested on his relia-
bility. * * * * * * "Mr. Hill had great reverence for law. He believed that lilwS were carefully made, and that they should be observed. He adhered to and upheld the law. This he did uniformly. All a young man really expects is justice. When the students found that the laws were respected and administered uniformly, they.agreed that justice was given, and in their hearts they
approved. * * * * * * "He told the faculty one day of his dreamof the greater university of the future, its drives, its halls, its residences, its life. It was a beautiful picture which he pre~ented. Whether we live to see it materialize or not, who can tell? Our Ulysses will never return, and who can bend his bO\v?
"After all has been said that may be said, he did great deeds because he was great, he did lovely deeds because he was kind, he did good deeds because he was pure in heart and could see God."
From a letter from Mr. George Foster "Peabody to HOll. N.
E. Harris, Chairman of the Memorial Committee, I quote the
following extract:
"It seems to me that in a peculiar manner, he had gotten

14
hold of the soul of that centuries old phrase which calls out the best in us, 'Noblesse Oblige'; which the Southland had the moral courage to ~ssume to follow after with the splendid persistence and unfaltering determination of the Anglo-Saxon mind. He went steadily forward to apply it in its fullest sense to the unique and unexampled conditions with which the life of the Southern man and woman has to cope in building up a life of his family and his community and commonwealth. He had no fear that any harm could come to any man or woman who lived up in sincerity and truth to the spirit of love which commands us ever to forget self in the fullest sense and give the best that we have to those who most have need of that which is entrusted to our stewardship, whether it be knowledge or culture, sympathy or grant of power, which latter in its due relation is always, not only the extreme test of character~ but the necessary 'element from which the highest strength shall be wrought in the development of humanity. His was indeed a true Christ life, a revelation of God and man than which none can be nobler or more inspiring.
He was by nature ~ poet with a vision, and as I think of him now I am reminded of those words of Browning, 'A man'i reach should exceed his grasp, else what's heaven for?' Surely it is easy for us on this day, as we recall to mind our latest recollections of him, to realize how splendid the reach of his mind was. It will, I think, be a fine course tor his successor to run to endeavor to grasp and make sure of only a part of those great visions of his of which he has left record with us and' especially those implanted in the hearts and minds of those young men, students and alumni of this great University, who will, I trust, make real to future generations many of those revelations of what a man may be, which in their intercourse with, and knowledge of him, have taken root in their hearts and minds.
"Let us each strive to make true for our time that best evidence of the great man, 'His works do follow Him'-by following in the path made plain by Walter Barnard Hill, who being dead, still may speak to many."
I am yours in truest sympathy,
GEORGE FOSTER PEABODY.

15
A SPIRIT OF PROFESSIONALISM.
A most gratifying condition, the portent of which can not be measured by tabulated statements, nor adequately expressed in words, is the increased manifestation of professional enthusiasm and pride among the teachers of the State. From every county Institute, or teachers' meeting of any kind comes the tidings that more interest in professional work is shown than ever before.
The sacrifices being made by many of the consecrated men and women in the profession for broader scholarship and a more specific preparation for special lines of work desired by their respective communities is so evident as to need no special argument to convince an observant mind that a higher estimate of their work and a broader comprehension of their responsibilities and possibilities are being realized by these leaders of the people. Not only are more of the prominent educators in attendance upon summer universities and summer training schools, but many hundreds of the more inexperienced teachers are taking advantage of these opportunities to improve their equipment for the stupendous work to which they are giving their most earnest thought and labor.
The increasing demand for a more practical development of the child mind is being felt by our teachers, who are planning their work in accord with the opinions of the greatest thinkers of this generation on this all-important question. The old adage, "As is the teacher so is the school," has been broadened into "As is the teacher so is the progress and prosperity of the entire community."
STATISTICAL TABLES.
Owing to a lack of pern1anent records in many of the city :lnd town sc.hool systerr s, it was impossible for some of the

16
. superintendents to furnish .such information as was requested for this report at the ~nd of the year. Still some could have reported who did not. In some instances the reports sent were received too late for compilation. I referred to this matter in my report last year and suggested that some legislation is needed to insure prompt and full reports from all separate systems.
As has already been mentioned, the number of new buildings exceeded the number built in any previous year. The quality of the buildings is also a matter worthy of special mention. The two hundred and eighty buildings were erected at a cost of $296,660. Such an outlay annually will in a-'VP:lr<:; give us good buildings throughout the State.
There is seemingly a slight decrease in the enrollment of the county schools. This is to be attributed to the fact that three counties, Fulton, Hancock and Monroe, are transferred to the list of local systems. Reports from. two other counties were received too late to be tabulated. The number of pupils reported from these counties, if counted in the list of county systems, wolild show a satisfactory increase over previous years. The large number of local systems failing to make reports causes the column of totals to be much lower than would otherwise be. But even with these left out, much gain is shown along desirable lines.
The raising of the standard of -grades in many schools and more strictly grading in others has caused a slight decrease in the number of pupils reported in the high school grades. This reduction is no indication of lower scholarship on the part of the average pupils:
It is cause for regret that so few of our county teachers are in sympathy with the calling of their patrons. To illustrate the indifference with which they treat the study of agriculture, compare the number reported as in that study with others in the list. Forty-two per cent. are reported as studying geography,

17 while only six per cent are studying agriculture. In a few counties the subject is receiving proper attention, and the gratifying results show that a little preparation on the part of the teacher can make this subject as interesting and as pro.9-uctive of desired educational results as any in our common schoo] course.

Atlanta, Ga., August 10, 1905. To the County School Commissioner.
DEAR SIR: The next examination of applicants for license to teach will be held August 25th and 26th, as stated in my ci.rcularletter of March 30th.
Please publish the date of this examination. It will not be necessary, I think, to hold another examination this year.
Some recent orders for the Manual of Methods were not filled in full because the supply is exhausted. You can easily secure a supply from teachers to whom copies have been loaned during previous years.
Yours truly, W. B. MERRITT, S. S. C.
September 3, 190 5. To the County Sd~ool Commissioner.
My DEAR SIR: I have 11]ailed to you a copy of the .local taxation law which was enacted at the recent session of the General Assembly. Another act of the General Assembly provides that if the convict hire is applied to the school fund in Y01tr county, it will hereafter be sent to you as other school fundS are forwarded, and not through the County Treasurer.
Please let me know if the Grand Jury directed the convict hire to be applied to the school fund of your county; a payment is now available.
The Bill providing for the codification and revision of the School Laws was passed by the Senate, reported upon favorably

19
by the House Committee, and read twice in the House. This Bill will doubtless become a law at the next session of the General Assembly. The Bill provides that the school year shall be changed and begin September 1st. Your county will be better prepared for this change if your Board will plan to operate your schools so that not more than four months of the public term of 1906 will be taught before ~eptember I, 1906.
I am having inquiries from a few counties as to whether the schools for 1906 may begin before January I, 1906. The law is very clear on this point. The schools for 1906 can not begin and legally draw the public school fund of 1906 before January 1st. Several counties have operated their schools in November and December by private subscription and tuition. For further information on this point I refer you to my letter of August 17, 1904. You will find this letter on pages 93, 94 and 95 of my Annual Report for 1904.
In my circular letter of October 3, 1903, I advised that applicants for permanent licenses must have taught at least five years. As the Bill for revising the School Laws, mentioned above, provides frat applicants for permanent license shall have taught three years, you might at this time send in papers of applicants for permanent licenses who have had successful experience as teachers for three years, and who make a general average of 9S per cent. in the examination.
In grading the examination papers of applicants for lkenses to teach, an average of 70 per cent. will entitle the applicant to a third grade license; 80 per cent. a second grade license; and 9~ per cent. a first grade license.
If you have a pamphlet containing an annual report of the school work of your county I shall be pleased to have you send me a copy.
Please notify me at once of any changes of superintendents of local school systems in your county.
I am sending you by express copies of the Annual Report

20
from the Department of Education for 1904. Please give a copy of this report to each member of your County Board of Education. On page 195 of this report, I have printed a full list of the members of the county boards. This is in accordance with the recor~s of this department. If the records of' your offic differ from this, please let me know.
A number of counties are planning for monthly institutes during 1906. Please give me your suggestions in regard to this work. It is my purpose to arrange the institute work for 1906 in time to be used in monthly institutes.
I have recently received a Premium List of the Georgia Farmers' Fair and Live Stock Exposition to be held at Macon, Ga., October 24 to November 30, 1905. The premiums for educational exhibits will be found below.
Very truly yours, W. B. MERRITT,
State School Commissioner.
September 26, 1905.
To tke Superintendents of Schools.
DEAR SIR: Through the efforts of Mr. VVm. Riley Boyd, I have been able to supply many rural schools with choice periodical literatur,e. The standard magazines contain some matter which does not go out of date or lose its interest and educational value. There is an increasing demand for this literature, and it is proving a great stimulus to the establishment of school libraries.
I write to ask your co-operation in the collection and distribution of reading matter for the schools. \Nill you please appoint a committee of three or more to assist you in securing donations of magazines? Please send the names of your committee to me or to Mr. Wm. Riley Boyd, Atlanta, Ga. Ask the secretary of J'~Jr' committee to communicate with the

21
County School Commissioners in your section of the State, and ascertain the names of teachers who want magazines and will pay the freight on them.
In some places the pupils of the schools are making very effident collectors, and the work has for them a definite educational value. The work of collecting this literature will arouse in your pupils a greater interest in such reading matter and also an interest in the pupils for whom the reading matter is collected.
Please ask the secretary of your committee to report to Mr. Boyd, or to me, the number of periodicals distributed.
In behalf of the children of the State I thank you for your interest and co-operation in this matter.
Very truly yours,
w. B. MERRITT,
State School Commissioner.
Atlanta, Ga., September 26, 1905.
To the School Superintendents: As a layman greatly interested in all that makes for educa-
tional advancement, I respectfully ask your co-operation in a work which has for about three years progressed in some sections and which should be effective all over our State. I refer to the distribution of magazines and illustrated papers in the rural schools and homes. A little reflection and practical effort will convince you of the great value of this work in which your co-operation will render valuable assistance.
Some three years ago a lady in Atlanta said to me: "I have a lot of several hundred magazines which we have read; can they not be of use somewhere?"
After conference with the School Commissioner several packages were sent to the County Commissioners in territory contiguous to our city.

22

From this small beginning there has come very satisfactory

results. More than ;r 5,000 magazines have been distributed in

thirty cQunties. And the hopeful feature is, that in some instances where the answer came to us {{There is na demand far

such reading matter,'} we now have urgent requests not to let

the work be hindered, but to continue the supply.

There was always the need; we have created the want.

N ow, as to supply, my practical suggestion is, that in each

town of 1,000 or more inhabitants there should be formed a

club, appeal should be made through the local newspaper asking

that persons having such material should send it to some desig-

nated place, and the distribution will be a matter of detail easily

made.

From this effort there might arise the forming of clubs for

mutual improvement in all local matters, centers of literary ef-

fort, where all. matters of public interest might find full and

free expression.

.

I am confident that a crowning need for us is the enlarge-

ment of our field of work; the recognition of a need for greater

attractions in our home life. Free interchange of views and

little deeds of kindness will bring us to the recognition of a

common humanity, a universal brotherhood.

These are but suggestions. I rely upon my valued friend,

the School Commissioner, to put them, with your aid, into a

working which shall mean much for our greater happiness and

social advancement.

Respectfully and fraternally,

WILLIAM RILEY BOYD.

November 7, 190 5. Ta the Caunty Sc.haal Cam1nissianer.
DEAR SIR: Please forward your itemized statements as soon as possible, that they may all be checked up and approved by the time the usual Decetnber payment is available.

23
The second quarter of convict hire was sent by the State Treasurer to your County Treasurer. The third and fourth quarterly payments of this fund which are applied to the schools will be sent to you by the State Treasurer.
The general interest in education is very gratifying. School districts and counties are lengthening the school term either by tuition or local taxation. There are many other indications of educational progress, but wise planning and faithful, vigorous efforts are now demanded as never before.
A strong movement for school libraries is now timely. Please place in the hands of teachers and trustees our list of School Library Books, a supply of which has been sent to you, and impress upon them the educational value of reading the best books. A fondness for good literature is easily acquired and invariably arouses the interest of pupils and parents in school affairs. I suggest that you urge your teachers, pupils and patrons to give their best efforts to placing a school library in every school, or to adding good books to school libraries already established.
In the observance of Thanksgiving Day and Arbor Day it would be well, in preparing programs, to bring the claims of school libraries to the attention of the people of every school district.
I have recently attended a monthly teachers' meeting in a county all the teachers of which were present, and every teacher ordered a school library. There were present at this meeting patrons from many of the schools, and they promptly declared that the cost of the libraries should not fall upon the teachers. The patrons will co-operate with you and your teachers in this important work.
Please report to me the school districts which have voted for local taxation for schools. When it is needed in your county, . 1 can supply you with some good literature touching local taxation.

24
The Southern Educational Association will meet in Nashville, November 22-24.
Please prepare a brief report reviewing the educational work of your county for 1905, and stating some lines of work you wiII stress in 1906. I want this for my next Report to the Legislature.
\Vith an earnest desire to aid you in every forward movement for the good of the children, I am,
Very truly yours, W. B. MERRITT}
State School Commissioner.

December I I, 1905.

To the County School Commissioner.

'" .. ,

County.

DEAR SIR: For the year 1906 your county wiII receive $ ....

as your apportionment of the common school funds. This

amount does not include the school funds apportioned by this

Department to local school systems and the convict hire which

will be sent by the State Treasurer directly to the County

School Commissioners of those counties whose share of the

convict hire has been applied to the school funds.

With your supply of report blanks, etc., I am sending you a

few copies of a pamphlet containing School Laws and Decis-

ions.

A complete set of record books is being printed for several

counties. If you need a set of record books please let me know,

as we can have these records printed cheaper if a number are

ordered.

.

The term of office of many board members wiII expire on

the date of the next term of your Superior Court. I suggest

that you bring this matter to the attention of the Grand Jury,

and see that the clerk is supplied with the proper blanks tor re-

porting the election of a member of the Board of Education,

25

and urge members to qualify promptly by taking the oath be-

fore the Ordinary.

.

You can secure some leaflets on local taxation for schools by

wl'iting to Dr. W. B. Hill, Athens, Ga.

Very truly yours,

W. B. MERRITT,

State School Commissioner.

December 19, 1905
To the Sttperintendent of the Local School System:
DEAR SIR: The apportionment to the school system of
. . . . . . . . .. for 1906, is $. . . . . . . .. This does not include
any funds arising from the net hire of convicts to which your system may be entitled. The convict fund is not disbursed through this office, but through the office of the State Treasurer. The law requires that your share of the convict fund be paid you by the County School Commissioner of your county.
On account of the fact that part of the funds arising from the hire of convicts was included in the general school fund in 1905, and is not included in the fund for 1906, the apportionment from this office is smaller than for 1905. The difference, however, is small. Please notify the Treasurer of your local Board of Education of the amount apportioned to your system.
If you have not received a copy of the Library List compiled by the committee from the County School Commissioners' Association, and desire a copy, please let me know. A copy of the pamphlet containing a Compilation of Laws and Decisions Relating to the Common School System has been sent you. If you have not received this, please notify me in order that I may send you a copy.
Report blanks for making the annual report of your school system to this Department will be sent you early in January. Please get the statistical matter for your school system in such

:26
shape that you can at once return this blank with the proper entries.
Very tntly yours, W. B. MERRITT,
State School Commissioner.
December 30, 1905.
To the County School Commissioner. DEAR SIR: If all your itemized statements for 1905 have not
been mailed, please forward them at an early date that your final payment for IQOS may not be delayed. It requires sonw days to check u.p these statements. Checks ~overing the December payment were sent as soon as possible to every county whose claims were on file. '::.'he cb ims from six or seven counties came in several days after the December paymert was made.
If you forwarded your final itemized statement for 1905 in time for the December payment and received a partial payment on this statement, please return your copy to this office not later than January 15th. This does not apply to those COUIlties that have a later statement on file now, or that will have a later statement for this payment.
A statement of your apporti'onment for 1906 has been mailed to you. The payments which will be made to you have been calculated on a basis of $2-42 for each child of school age according to the census of 1903. If your schools receive the convict hire that wiII be in addition to the amount of the apportionment of which you have been notified.
Please use your utmost influence to arouse an interest among your pupils in planting trees at school and at home. This work is so full of present good and future promise that it should be continued through January and Febntary. Arbor Day exercises may very properly be included in the programs which

27
your teachers may prepare for the 19th of January, and 12th and 22d of February.
Again prizes have been offered by the Daughters of the Confederacy for best essay written by a student under the rules and regulations found in the inclosed announcement. I hope you will co-operate enthusiastically with the efforts of these noble women, and arrange for a county prize. The preparation for this contest will be a most valuable study in history and composition. I hope a county prize will be offered for the best essay written in your county. You are authorized to ufkr a book, which I will give to the pupil in your county who writes the best essay on the subject assigned, viz. : "The Main Events of 1861, Their Importance and Influence." There should be not less than ten essays entered in each county. If you should desire further information touching the Medal Contest, write to Miss Eugenia Mandeville, chairman of State Committee, Carrollton, Ga.
Please call the attention of your County Board to the fact that it i~ important that the Board should require enough of the time of the County School Commissioner for the thorough supervision of the schools, and for the keeping up with every detail of his office work. He should receive a salary which will be proper for one having such great responsibilities, and one who is a specialist in his line of work. In many counties the salary of the County School Commissioner does not compare favorably with that of other county officers whose work is no heavier and whose duties do not require so much of executive ability and special skill:
I am pleased to state" that the sentiment in favor of local taxation is growing in counties and districts where the people want longer terms, and are demanding skilled teachers. A small sum raised by local taxation in counties will not only bring good schoolhouses and retain good teachers, but under the general law it will enable this Department to send promptly

28
all the school funds to your credit as soon as they are available without having to wait for an itemi~ed statement, and this means that you can pay your teachers more promptly. Local school systems are not required to make itemized statements, and receive their school funds when available.
Death has claimed Dr. 'vValter B. Hill, Chancellor of the University, and the educational forces of this State have lost a wise, able and beloved leader. He had faith in the saving power of education. He realized that any system of education which did not reach the people with the best facilities possible was inadequate and fal~e.
Although he had arduous duties in connection with the University, Dr. Hill gave valuable aid and inspiration to the teachers and school officials whose work is among the common schools of the State. I believe his words and his spirit of consecration to the cause of education will abide with us for the accomplishment of great good. Let us cherish them as live and precious seed sown in good ground.
'vVishing for you a year of most successful work, I am, Very truly yours,
w. B. MERRI'I''I\
State School Commissioner.
January 30, I906.
To the County School Commissioner. DEAR SIR: The final itemized statement containing claims
against the school fund of I905 have been received from all counties except one or two. A full statement of your account with this Department for last year will be mailed to you at an early date. in accordance with the plan adopted two years ago a duplicate of this statement will be mailed to the clerk of the Court for the Grand Jury of your county. If this statement does not agree with your books, please let me know.

29
The Executive Committee of the County Schoo,l Commissioners' Association will meet at an early date to arrange a program for our next annual meeting. At our last annual meeting a majority of those present expressed a preference for Rome as a place for holding our next session. The Directors of the University Summer School have extended us an invitation to meet in Athens during the s~ssion of the Summer School in July. Blease write me your preference as to place of meeting, and suggest topics which you think should be discussed.
The Department of Superintendence of the National Educational Association, which met in Atlanta in February, 1904, will hold its next annual meeting in Louisville, Ky., February 27, 28, and March I, 1906. The programs of the Department of Superintendence are of more interest and value to City and County Superintendents than any other educational convention of this country.
There will be two examinations this year for applicants for license to teach. One will be held during the latter part of June and the other in December.
In due time I will send you unifofm examination questions to be given to the seventh grade pupils of your schools on March 22, 1906. Any pupil who has attended school since March 24, 195, may take the examination and secure a Common School Certificate if his or her average is eighty per cent., or higher. The number of certificates awarded in your county during the spring term is given in my Annual Report for 1904, page No. 10. A number of Commissioners reported an increased interest among pupils and parents and an increased number of certificates when their attention had been often called to this examination on which certificates are awarded.
Very truly yours, W. B. MERRITT)
State School Commi<;sioner.

30
February IS, 1906.
To the County School Commissioner.
DEAR SIR: Please forward your annual report for 1905. and your first itemized statement for 1906, if they have not already been transmitted. The first payment, as in 1905, will be available about the second week in March, but this payment may be a little less than the first payment of 1905, since the convict hire for one quarter was paid through this department; and during 1906 all the funds arising from the hire of convicts will be sent directly to the several counties.
The executive committee of the Association of County School Commissioners will meet on the 26th inst., to arrange program and select place for next meeting. As stated in my circular letter of January 30th, our Association is invited by the directors of the University Summer School to meet in Athens in July, during the session of the summer school.
The Association, at our last annual meeting, expressed a preference fOf' Rome as the place of meeting. The invitation is renewed with the suggestion that the Association meet in Rome during the Commencement exercises of the Boys' Industrial School.
Supt. M. L. Brittain, President of the Georgia Educational Association, asks the Commissioners and the executive committee to consider the matter of arranging a joint meeting of our Association with the Georgia Educational Association, at some place to be selected, thereby more effectively combining and unifying the educational work of these two conventions.
Please write on the inclosed card your suggestions as to time and place of meeting, topics for discussion, etc.
Please inform me if there are schools in your county in which you prefer to have the examination of seventh grade pupils during the last week in May. Much interest is being taken in this exami!1ation, and some requests have been submitted for an-

31
other test for the seventh grade pupils about two months later than March 22d.
A County School Commissioner reports to me that agents, representing reference books of doubtful value; have used fraudulent business methods to deceive teachers in his county. It would be well for you to give your teachers warning.
A bill has been introduced into Congress providing for free postage on educational matter sent out from State departments of education. I hope you will use your influence to secure the passage of this measure.
Very truly yours, W. B. MERRITT,
State School Commissioner.
March 9, 1906.
To the County School Commissioner.
DEAR SIR: The examination questions have been sent to you for your seventh grade pupils, who will take the examination on March 22d.
In response to numerous requests I will send another set of examination questions for the seventh grade pupils in the longer term schools for another examination on May 24th.
The next examination of applicants for license to teach will be held June 22d and 23d. The scope of the examination is indicated in the Outlines for Institutes for 1905. Agriculture will be made. a special topic, and not be included in Geography, as heretofore.
The County School Commissioners will meet in annual convention in Rome, April 17th, 18th and 19th. A program of the meeting will be mailed to you.
I am sending you with this letter some announcements of the Teachers' Normal Institute, which will be held in the North Cem-gia Agricultural College during April.

32
The State Agricultural Society has offered $500.00 in prizes to boys who grow the best patches of corn and cotton under conditions named in Bulletin No. 44, which will be sent to you
by Prof. J. S. Stewart, Athens, Ga.
I find that County School Commissioners frequently experience great inconvenience by not receiving the annual reports from teachers in due time; and I suggest that you secure these reports from your teachers, either when their schools close or before you make final payment of their salaries.
Very truly yours, W. B. MERRITT)
State School Commissioner.
March IS, 1906.
To the County School Commissioner and Members of the County Board of Education.
DEAR SIRS: Many of the rural schools will close this month. The problem of keeping a good attendance till the end of the term is a difficult one. I hope you will find opportunity to visit the schools at this time, and urge parents and trustees to visit their respective schools, and encourage the attendance of pupils till the close of the term. It would be well for visitors who are interested to spend a part of the day, March 22, in the schools. On this day the pupils of the seventh grade will take a uniform examination sent out from this Department to a{l the schools of the State. (See Annual Report from the Department of Education, 1904, pages 10 and 124.)
The essays of pupils on "The Main Events of 1861, Their Importance and Influence," which are entered for the prizes offered by the United Daughters of the Confederacy, must be sent by April 10, 1906, to Miss EugeniCl; Mandeville, Chairman, C.arroll ton, Ga., who has given you the rules governing the contest.

33

The Georgia State Sociological Society offers nine prizes to

any person writing the best essays on several educationai

topics. These essays must be sent in on or before April IS..

1906, to Dr. R. R. Kime, Chairman Prize Committee, who has

given the details of the contest to the County School Commis-

SlOners.

I have not yet received from all counties a report of the

school work for 1905 to be included in my Report to the Legis-

lature.

In order to show the progress of work in each school, and

for the inspection of the County Board, the Grand Jury, and

others interested, I suggest that you keep in the office of the

County School Commissioner an exhibit of school work from

every school in your county.

I am receiving encouraging reports of the progress of schooL.

work all over the State. Special encouragement should be:

given by you to the improvement of schoolhouses, school li-

braries and instruction in Agriculture. I call your especial at-

tention to the article on pages 79, 139 and 153 of my Report

for 1904, and to the List of Library Books. (A copy of the

Library List and Report for 1904 has been sent to the County

School Commissioner for each member of the Board.)

I hope that every County School Commissioner can attend

the next meeting of our Annual Convention to be held in

Rome, April 17 to 19. I have recently known wonderful re-

sults to come of the enthusiasm and definite practical plans of

work which a County School Commissioner carried to his

Board and trustees from the Annual Convention. The Boys'

Industrial School at Rome, established by Miss Berry, is a

splendid object lesson. Many County Boards are finding that

the establishment of one standard school, even on a small scale,

has a contagious influence toward working up the educational

interest and progress of the county. (See Report for 1904.

pages 151 to 177)

asse

34

The program of our Annual Convention will include several

able lectures, and discussions of such topics as the following:

Agriculture in the Common Schools; School Libraries; Teach-

ers' Meetings; Improvement of School Buildings; Long Term

Schools; How to Secure More Thorough School Work; Graded

Salaries for Teachers; Qualifications of Board Members and

Commissioners, and Salaries; Qualifications and Duties of

Local Trustees; Some Needed Changes in Our School Law.

I shall be pleased to have your suggestions as to the best

plans of pushing forward the school work of the State, and

arousing and directing the interest of our people in the educa-

tion of their children.

Very truly yours,

May 1, 1906.

REMARKS BY J. O. A. MILLER, C. S. C. OF SPALDING
COUNTY.
Topic: "Our Educational Progress During the Past Twenty-five Years." Mr. President, Ladies and Gentlemen:
Taken in a just sense, the word progress indicates change in the direction towaJ;d improvement and betterment. To determine the question requires comparison between educational conditions that prevailed at the beginning of the period under consideration with educational conditions now prevalent.
To show that our school officials, a generation ago, realized the low status of education then existing, and anticipating future advancement, thought proper to map out a line of policy calculated to reach desirable results, I beg to read from the official school records of Spalding county the following resolutions passed by the Board of Education on March 2, 1872, thirty-four years ago:
Resolved, That we regard the system of education known

57

as the public school system the best calculated to promote the

great objects of education.

"Resolved, That no system of public schools can be success-

fully carried forward without zealous support, nor prosper,

without means liberally supplied to sustain them."

"Resolved, Thtlt we as 'a board of education heartily endorse

the cause of public schools and will use our utmost efforts to

establish them in our county.

"Resolved, That we recommend an assessment of a school

tax of three mills on the dollar of the taxable property of the

county of Spalding, and that the secretary of this board be

required to present the subject to the grand jury at its session

next term of court and urge its confirmation."

These resolutions carry us back to the transition period in

our educational methods-to the time of changing from the

"old-field" log schoolhuuse plans of ante-bellum days with the

"three R" curriculum to the present logical and more efficient

methods in education. It was no easy matter to supplant the

old with the new. The early educational tr;;t.ditions of the

country, however faulty ~nd defective in themselves, were

dear to the hearts of the Southern people. They were slow to

disengage their attachments to a kind of institution that had

helped to qualify so many of our leading men for places of

distinction in every department of life. The "old-field" school,

with its enforced and thorough mastery of a few educational

topics and its rigid drill in discipline, had ever been the step-

ping-stone to higher institutions of learning in America and .

Europe that polished and prepared our young men for the

highest and noblest service in their day and ~eneration. It

was, therefore, no easy task to turn the educational tide into

more successful channels. It has required the nerve, patience,

energy and benevolent foresight of the past generation to ac-

complish the task.

.

Like teacher, like school. We can judge of the inefficiency

of the schools of twenty-five years ago by the incompetency of

58
many of the rural teachers of that day. To note one instance :: While visiting ~chools and traveling an almost impassable road in a backwoods settlement, I came to a dilapidated log hut in which I found a schooL The teacher was a man frank and honest, and crippled with disease. He could barely spell and read the simplest sentences. Lacking book-learning, his main qualification for the schoolroom was a case of chronic rheumatism that unfitted him for manual labor.
The method of examining and licensing teacners then in vogue made many similar instances possible. The examination was generally impromptu and oraL The examiner propounded such questions as occurred to him "on the spot.'" Almost all applicants received certificates. The first-grade license was then the lowest grade, and third-grade license was the highest. Besides, there was a fourth-grade license, and a. license authorizing the holder to teach "some of the legal. branches of study." The present mode of examining and licensing teachers secures better instructors and better schools.
Great progress has been made in education in Georgia for the past several years. Up to 1867 there was no public school. system in this State. The public school feature was first introduced into the State Constitution by the "carpet-bag" convention of 1868, naturalized and permanently crystalized inc our fundamental law by the Constitutional Convention of 1877. Systematic public school work was begun in 1871, with. Dr. Lewis as the first State School Commissioner. Dr. Orr was next appointed, then Dr. Hook, afterwards Dr. Bradwell,.. followed by Dr. Glenn, succeeded by the present incumbent,. Mr. Merritt. Educational progress for the first years was slow on account of popular prejudice against what was deemed a needless foreign innovation, but this prejudice began to give way at an early date, from which time public schools have grown steadily and continuously in public esteem. At first there was only a three months' term during the year, then five, then six, and now in cities and counties with supplemental

.">9
tax money, schools are open nine months of the year. To further antedate this progress, we need a school fund of two millions a year supplemented by local taxation throughout the State, to enable eleven thousanCl teachers to instruct more than a half -million children.

REVIEW OF WORK FOR 1905.
BANKS COUNTy-G. G. STRANGE, C. S. C.
The school work in Banks county for the past year, and at present, has been and is encouraging in some respects, while in other respects there are more or Ie&; discouragements.
At present we are engaged in the work of dividing (')our county into school districts, in compliance with the recent school law. At present we have forty-five schools in the county, including negro schools. After we will have finished the wlTk, we will have less than thirty. In many of these new districts new buildings will be erected and well furnished. This feature of the work is real encouraging. Other encouraging features of the work are the efforts being made by local trustees to get better teachers. In many instances during the past year our people have supplemented the public funds and run their schools, some one, two, and three months, in addition to the public term. The outlook at present is for larger and better equipped schools, and local tax to supplement.
It is needless to mention the discouraging features with which we have to contend in running the rural ichools, as everybody is very familiar with these drawbacks.
In the course of a few years we will be much disappointed if we fail to develop our iChools in Banks county into an l1pto-date system.
CARROLL COUNTy-J. S. TRAVIS) C. S. C.
vVe have had an unusually good year for schools in our county. The enrollment has. been good. Not having received all of the annual reports from teacher3, I am not able to' give exact figures, but suppose we will reach last year's figures, about

63
'6,000 whites and 1,500 colored pupils. Several new school buildings have been erected, and quite a number refurnished with new patent desks. In many communities our people are awake to the importance of educational facilities for their children. Practically all of the school buildings in the county were erected and furnished, without a penny from the educational fund of the county. The earne.t and unremitting efforts of the: board and the Commissioner have been toward securing long-term schools throughout the county. To this end we -have held educational rallies at various points, and by addresses from a number of speakers urged the patrons to ~up -plement the school fund, thus enabling the Board of Education to continue the !lChools for terms of not less than seven months. "This work has been crowned with marked success, as we have 'over fifty white schools' that are in operation for that length ,of time, and quite a number are in session for nine mon,ths.
We are stressing the importance of school libraries for every school in the county. Two districts in the county-Mount 'Carmel and Wesley Chapel-have voted on local taxation, and both were carried by an overwhelming vote for this very important supplement to the school fund. We need more money to give to the 7,000 white children of Carroll county an opportunity to prepare themselves for the ~uties of useful citizenghip, and local taxation for schools is the source from whence it must come~ But more important, and even more imperative than money, is our need for earnest, devoted, thoroughly trained teachers, who, from no selfish or mercenary motives, will in a true missionary spirit help to enlist and train the best young lives in the country for the future upbuilding of our .country. Many of our teachers, principals of schools,are .young and inexperienced. They' are doing their best, but a scarcity of teachers confronts us, as many of them are leaving the work and going into other and more remunerative lines @f wtJrk.

64

During 1906 we expect to continue pressing long.,fenn schools, local taxation, school libraries, and a general advancement along educational lines. And by energetic, insistent work put beyond the question of doubt the ultimate and splendid success fora lcmg-tern1 school in every district, and in every school an enthusiastic, earnest, zealous, even heroic, te:K:her.
"So mote it be."

c. CHEROKEE COUNTY-J. D. ATTAWAY,

S. C.

The greatest hindrance to educational progress in this county is want of funds to extend our school term, and to employ firstc1a5s talent to direct the energies of our bt1ght boys and girls. Five months' schools, though sometimes crowded for a few weeks, show a small per cent. of average attendance. The term of employment is too brief and the salary too small to encourage our faithful young teachers to properly provide themselves with libraries and to attend business schools and summer normal schools.
Our long-term schools have a large attendance and the teachers are fairly well paid, the people supplementing the public fund.
Weare working hopefully.

GRAND JURY PRESENTMENTS.
From Commissioner Attaway's report, made to this committee, we quote as follows: "The attendance of our schools is larger than ever before. Much credit is due our faithful and zealous teachers, and we are sure that the good people of our county will continue to feel a pride in our common school .system."

65
COBB COUNTY-W. R. POWER, C. S. C.
In our school work I have decided to stress the idea of more creative thought on the part of pupil. The one great purpose is to connect the educative energy developed in our schools with the field, the forest, the mine, the quarry, the shop, so it will conserve the best purposes.
I think more time and attention should be given to English literature in connection with the study of authors.
I am using several hundred copies of the standard magazines furnished me by reading friends as a circulating reading course in the schools. Give fifty or a hundred copies to a school and when the pupils have read them send on to another school and get another supply. In this way pupils get interested in the continued stories and standard articles and form a habit of reading.
I am trying to have the boys understand the relation of sehoo1s tq intelligent farming and other vocations of life.
I want each teacher to show an interest in the community by looking after the children out of school, talking to parents and ascertaining the causes and excuses for the children being ont of school. The relation of teacher to the community is a vital matter.
There is as much need of education among parents as among children.
J COLQUITT COUNTY- NO. E. HOWELL, C. S. C.
Beginning the work November I, I904, I did not have opportunity to do much toward securing better houses and equipment for I905, for the reason that we had no real system or organization and no interest or enthusiasm among the schools. However, we did make a start and secured the improvement of several buildings and the erection of four (4) first-class one-room modern houses.
5S8C

66
Considerable interest was manifested in cleaning off and beautifying the school grounds and planting out trees.
\Ve had no end of trouble in securing a supply of suitable teachers. We insisted upon the patrons supplementing the . public fund with enough to pay salaries to good teachers. An advance of $5 per month for all grades of teachers was general throughout the county.
Through monthly meetings of the teachers we inspired them with the idea that they were undergoing the supreme test, and that they were expected to help us arouse the interest of pupils and patrons, and they rose nobly to the call.
During the month of June we held a twenty days' institute, and gave all who attended a thorough course in the common school branches, together with a few elective high school branches. The teachers who took this cOJ.lrse are doing far better work than before.
During the fall we agitated the question of local taxation, but lost out in the election on account of a misunderstanding. But the campaign of education that we made thoroughly aroused the people, and led the way for local school district taxation. Seven districts, in which fourteen schools are located, have already voted favorably. Elections are ordered now in four other districts in which eight schools are located, and there is no doubt about the result. There is every reason to believe that we will have twenty-five (25) to thirty (30) schools, supported from seven (7) to nine (9) months by taxation. A goodly number of normal-trained teachers can secure good places and salaries by applying here.
Seven schools supplenlented the public term with two to four months private terms.
\Ve have a fairly good library of about forty (40) volumes
sm for teachers, and just starting its first round a traveling
library of seven hundred and fifty (750) volumes. For the latter I raised the money by private subscription.

67
vVe initiated the grading of our rural schools. vVe had the prejudice of teachers and patrons to overcome, but it has been done in a fairly satisfactory manner. Another term or two, and we will be ready to compare notes with the graded city schools. A few certificates were issued upon seventh grade examinations. Being new to Commissioner, teachers and pupils, we did not do as well as we will in I906.
Outlook for I906! "The woods are on fire and the wind in our favor." Record-breaking enrollment. Teachers' salaries advanced generally $5 to $ro per month over I905. (Good first-grade lady teachers easily get $50 per month.) A fine corps of wor.kers this year. At least 25 per cent. better equipment and work. Pupils well supplied with books, etc. Getting nicely graded. Small schools all running on an adopted s-grade "Daily Program of Exercises." A printed postal card furnished for the purpose brings report of enrollment and daily attendance at end of each week from each school. Everybody enthused. Four (4) schools have already put in patent desks this year. Local tax "going" in district after district. New and modern school-houses talked everywhere. _ It's great!
JUDGE COVINGTON ON EDUCATION-HE WRITES A STRONG LETTER ENDORSING THE LOCAL TAXATION MOVEMENT IN THE COUNTY.
MOULTRIE, GA., November I7, I905.
Han. Ino. Howell, County School Commissioner, City. DEAR SIR : Your request of this date that I furnish you with
my views relative to the duty of the citizen in the approaching election on the subject of local taxation for the purpose of lengthening the term of our country schools is received.
It is my hope that the measure will carry at the polls. Our town and city children get eight and nine months schooling each year in exactly the same way. All my property in the city of Moultrie, for instance, is taxed so that the regular pub-

lie selwol term may be increased to nine months. If the children ill the country do not get an equal chance with the children in the towns, they are going to fall behind in the future struggle for existence.
President Roosevelt recently told the people of North Carolina that the greatest of all assets of that wonderful State was the children of North Carolina. This is true of Georgia, as well. Give us informed and developed childhood and place it to work in this great State of ours, and there is no way to estimate the glory of the civilization that Georgia may produce.
I look upon the proper training of the childhood of the State as the one thing so needful that it merges into itself every other aspiration and interest of our people. In spite of the notion so prevalent oftentimes that everything is going ,"rong in our country, I can see reasons for patriotic rejoicing. A complete public school system, good roads, and the rural free delivery of mail, taken together, really settle a thousand national problems. They will equip the citizen for the full discharge of citizenship.
Every citizen of Colquitt county ought to subscribe to his church paper, to a paper devoted to the interests of his particular business, to his county paper, and to at least one of the great Atlanta newspapers. He ought, in addition to this, to see. to it that his children have the proper school facilities-that is to say, proper books, proper teachers, and the proper amount of time in school.
Children are worth more than horses, cattle or pine trees. Yours truly, 'vV. A. COVINGTON.
COWET A COUNTY-V. A. HAM) C. S. C.
A review of the school work in Coweta county, I905: The entire county has been laid off into school districts.

69
Three of the districts, with little or no opposition, have voted for local taxation. Other districts are preparing to vote. The number of schools have been reduced. Many of our schoolhouses have been repaired and made more comfortable. In the Moreland School District, the Moreland and St. Charles schools will be consolidated, and a new and up-to-date school building will be erected.
The Turin and Sharpsburg schools will also consolidateand a new, well-equipped school-house will be built. There is also an effort on foot to unite Elim and Midway schools.
Great interest h"as been taken in the teachers'. monthly meetings. Many school improvement clubs have been organized, and an effort has been made to organize a club in every community where there is a white school, and it is having its effect, as is seen in the improvement of school-houses and school grounds, etc. Some of our schools run from six to eight months. Over 90 per cent. of the children have attended school during the year.
DAWSON COUNTY-A. 'vV. V ANDIV1ERE:, C. S. C.
In 1905 we built two good new school-houses and ceiled one old one. 'vVe now have only one unceiled school-house in our county. 'vVe placee,1 a supply of school desks in three of our schools in 1905. We bought one common school library. We now have seventeen common school libraries aggregating about 900 volumes. Our grand jury awarded the convict hire to the public schools, which has enabled us to operate our schools six months in 1905 and 1906.
In 1906 we expect to build one good school-house and to place a full supply of good school desks in four either houses. In 1906 I aim to do all that is in my power to encourage my teachers to improve in their general scholarship and methods of teaching. I think I can get one school district to vote in local taxation in J906.

70
DooLY COlJNTy-E. G. GREJo:NE, C. S. C.
lhn. W. B. :Merritt, Atlanta, Ga. DEAR SIR: The schools of Dooly county, for 1905, were
well attended. All our schools Wl~re supplied with teachers. Most of the teachers did good work, which was greatly appreciated, both by the patrons and the Board of Education. Many school-houses were repaired and improved, and trees set out on the grounds. The Board of Education has placed good patent desks in all the school-houses of the county.
There was more interest in the school work manifested by the patrons of the rural schools -than there ever was before. There is a growing desire among them for better teachers and for longer terms of school in the country, just as they have in the towns and cities. \Ve have tried to make them realize that, in order to do this, we must have more funds, and that the only way to obtain more funds is by local taxation. Therefore, local taxation is being talked from one side of the county to' the other. We hope to have an election on it soon.
\Ve shall try to make the school of 1906 the best in the history of the county.
DOUGLAS COUNTy-G. T. McLARTY, C. S. C.
We have made progress in grading our schools. Issued five certificates to pupils completing common school course for year 1905.
Teachers are scarce. Parents are getting interested, and have increased salaries of teachets for present year about IO per cent. \Ve are making a campaign in the interest of longer terms and better houses-think teachers will be more plentiful if we can provide the work at remunerative prices.

71
ECHOLS J. COUN'I'Y- G. PRINE, C. S.. C.
There was one new school-~ouse built in the county, and most of the schools were supplied with good charts. Some improvements were made on school grounds, but not as much as should have been.
The planting of trees at home and school were both sadly neglected by pupils.
In number our schools were well supplied with teachers, but in quality the supply could have been better. Some of our teachers are striving to better prepare themselves for good and efficient school work. Others are indifferent. It seems that the teachers have failed in most instances to arouse the interest and co-operation of the parents of their pupils. Institutes are not held in our county very often on account of the small number of schools and the sparse population, and distance from county site. 'vVe have no summer school.
Parents are very lax in school work. They visit their schools but little, and in most instances seem indifferent about sending their children. In most instances parents are opposed to longterm school and local taxation.
'vVe have but one library in the county. It contains one hundred volumes. Hope to see others added befQIe this year comes to a close.
Not much progress has been attained in grading scl1Qol work. But few pupils complete the common school course while they are of school age. I find no specimens of school work collected in my office.
Agriculture in the schools- did not proceed as it should, while the text was taught in some of the schools.
The school problems of 1905 were solved by W. A. Ham. My plans for making the year 1906 one of the most effective years in the progress of educational work in my county are: 1st, to get the best teachers I possibly can; 2d, to get parent~

72
interested in school work and the education of their children; 3d, to have improvements made in school-houses and grounds, also the interior of the building, so it will entice the child to go to school; 4th, to have a library established in each school, to give the children good and wholesome reading; sth, to have local taxation established in each schoo} district of the county to give us more money to build and equip school-houses, and employ better teachers for longer terms; 6th, to establish debating societies, etc., so far as practicable in each school, and, 7th, to have school work collected from each school in the county and sent to me for exhibition in my office.
J. ELBERT COUNTY- N. WALL, C. S. C.
(At our annual meeting of county commissioners this year at Rome one of the most interesting topics discussed was "Our Educational Progress During the Past Twenty-five Years." The names of the following Commissioners, whose terms of service have extended over a longer period than a quarter of a century, were appended for the discussion:

While these are all beloved and respected in their own counties, as well as by the C. S. C.'s of the State at large, none are more so than the Commissioner of Elbert. vVe gladly give place to the following resolution passed by the grand jury of his county at the last session of the court:)
Resolved, That we, the grand jury, in body assembled, desire to congratulate the commonwealth of Elbert in securing the services, as county school commissioner, of our fellow citizen, Tames N. vVall-painstaking, energetic, careful, attentive in detail to every duty of his office; progressive, introducing such

work iuto the whole system.

74
FULTON COUNTy-M. L. BRI'I'TAIN, C. S. C.
Besides adding an additional room to several buildings, three new school-houses were built in Fulton county last year outside of any incorporated towns. These schools are Ben Hill, \Vestem Heights and Cross Roads. The first of these houses. cost $2,500, the second $2,000, and the last $1,000. The funds were raised mainly "on the field," with some help from the County Board of Education.
The picture of Rock Spring School will show what we are trying to do in the way of school ground improvement.
The most advanced step the county has ever taken in educational ,vork was in voting for local tax under the McMichael law last November. Twice before the effort had been made,. and at last the county has declared for the bill by a vote in the proportion of ten to one. After next September, when we begin operation under the local tax, Fulton will have. a longterm system all over the county. Our work is far from what it should be, b~i \~e l)elieve we are just beginning to get ready to start to cOl:i1iTIei1ce, and with the prospect ahead for sufficient finances at last, we hope for great improvemei1t by another year.
HANCOCK COUNTy-HaN. M. L. DUGGAN, SUPERINTENDENT.
(Extract from presentments of grand jury, March tern~. 1906.)
By special invitation from Prof. E. J. Robeson, principal of
the Sparta High School, and Hon. M. L. Duggan, C. S. C., we visited the Sparta High School and were shown through the several departments. Our attention was directed especially to the Manual Training Department. The entire school is evidently well organized and under most excellent management. vVe were most favorably impressed with the work being clone in the Manual Traning Department as it was illus~

75
trated and explained to us, and were mu~h pleased to know that the teachers of our rural schools had the benefit of regular training in this work, and that through them the children in country schools are being instructed along these lines. 'vVe express the hope that our County Board of Education may IJe able to prQvide ways and means not only for maintaining the present work, but for extending it.
HEARD COUN'l'Y-H. H. COOK, C. S. C.
In review of our school work in Heard county during the year 1905, I am glad to say there has been much progress made and much interest manifested in the advancement of education both by the patrons and pupils, much more than usual.
As an evidence of these facts, there have been a few substantial school buildings erected in the county, and others soon to follow, ranging in price from two So twelve hundred dollars. Besides our school attendance has ~~~xtremely good, increasing to some extent over previous ')~';'~also, there have been a few shrubs and trees planted on Arbor bay, and school grounds beautified and improved.
The majority of our schools has been graded, and a few held seventh grade examinations.
Some of our teachers have prepared themselves for better teaching, and I believe are working to arouse more interest and co-operation among parents. In fact, it is gratifying to know, and I feel safe in saying, that our school interests are progressing as rapidly as possible under the circumstances.
In mapping out our school work for 1906, we mean and hope to make it far exceed our efforts in 1905.
Weare advocating longer-term schools, local taxation, anel school libraries, and contests of various kinds. I am trying to arouse more interest in parents for the education of their children.

r
76
In fact they are becoming more enthused in the causeot education by wanting longer-term schools, better teachers, and a local tax to supplement the State appropriation.
Our county is to soon hold two district elections for local taxation, and I think in a short time it will sweep our county. All we need to make our county more progressive on the line of education is co-operation of ?ll her people, and this I will -endeavor to obtain.
JONES COUNTy-E. W. SAMMONS) C. S. C.
With few exceptions our school buildings-no reference is made to the colored, they generally use churches-are sufficiently equipped for present conditions. Sixty new desks were supplied them during the year. Steps have been taken to enlarge or to erect new buildings at three important points, viz., Bradley, Gray and Ha~dock. These are growing villages, and the purpose of the Board of Education to consolidate with them nearby sch6Q.ls renders enlargenent iJ.11perative. Already at Bradley a commodious two-room building is being constructed, which will be ready for occupancy early in 1906. This result is being achieved chiefly through the agency of Prof. F. M. Greene, whose diligence and persistency has aroused the 'Community to a realization of the necessity of better accommodations for the school. The \Vhite Oak School was consolidated at the beginning of the year with the Bradley School, with the result that two teachers were employed, a larger enrollment and a much larger average attendance was secured than both schools had before. Such an interest was awakened -better work being done-that many pupils never lost a day during the term. The success of this school is an objectlesson which is convincing many that like results may be se<cured at other places.
A number of our schoolhouses are located in beautiful

I,riginal groves. Around others some trees have been planted, though Arbor Day has not been observed with the enthusiasm that it deserves.
We found it quite difficult to secure well-equipped teachers, chiefly, I think, for the reason that the school term is too short and the pay insufficient. For the best located and the best paying schools-where the term was extended by private subscription to eight or nine months-either graduates of experience or teachers of more or less Nonnal training were secured. But for the smaller rural schools where no effort was made to supplement the public t.erm, only teachers of the lowest grade could be secured. Yet these cost the State more per pupil according to the average attendance than those in the larger and better-taught schools. We pay salaries only.
A growing demand for better teachers, and the difficulty of standing the examinations, is forcing upon the minds of teachers the necessity of better preparation for their work. Quite-a number have attended the State Nonnal College for a while at least. Some go to the Summer Schools, and more interest was taken in the Annual lnstitute, conducted most efficiently by Prof. H. R. Hunt, of Winder, than has been manifested in previous years. Subjects having been assigned beforehand, quite a number of interesting papers were read by the teachers. They placed on exhibition also at the Annual Institute many specimens of the work done during the year, all of which was good, and much of it excellent. Vye were glad that the State School Commissioner favored us with a short visit during the session, and saw the character of the work. About eighty per cent. of the white school population was enrolled, and about sixty per cent. average attendance. Of the negro population about sixty-six per cent. was enrolled, and about thirty-five per cent. average attendance. Forty white children sought high school and college advantages outside of our county, and as many or more negroes did likewise.

76
Some progress is being made in grading the schools, though on account of the irregularity in attendance, and the too frequent changing of teachers, the best resti1ts have not been attained. No pupil who stood the seventh grade examination received a certificate, for the reason that, though they passed in some studies, they were deficient in others.
There were ten white schools supplemented by private subscription that had terms of eight or nine months. Teachers complain that many children who come to the public term fall out during the pay term, which increases the difficulty of properly grading at opening of next public term, parents and pupils being dissatisfied if the pupil is not classed the same as if he had attended the pay term. An eight or nine months term supported by local taxation is a necessity. Many of our citizens are beginning to realize it, and are advocating it. At present our county has the burden of building a new court-house hoy direct taxation upon it, hence it is not an opportune time to force the issue now, but as soon as that matter is settled an agitation in favor of local taxation will be commenced.
In our opinion the district method of k,(<1] taxation would n.ot suit us, inasmuch as our rural white population in some districts is very sparse, while the negro population is very dense. \Ve favor it for the county as a whole, and to be managed as at present by the Board of Education, who will make an equitable division of the funds with respect to those who bear the greater burden of taxation.
J. LAURENS COUN'I'Y- T. SMI'I'H, C. S. C.
It is gratifying to note that there has been some progress made in the way of consolidating schools. In the year 1904 there were 109 schools in the county; last year there were only 99, and yet the average attendance was greater than the previous year, and the average enrollment per school was also

79
greatei". By comparing the report for 1905 with the report. for 1900, it will be seen that the number of schools in the county, within the last five years, has been reduced from 119 to 99-jusL20 schools-and yet the enrollm~nt for 1905 was greater than in 1900, while the number of teachers is 124, the same for both years. This shows that some of our schools had more than one teacher last year-some had as high as threeone principal and two assistants. This is a good indication, for every teacher who has had any experience will tell you that two feachers in one school, each having a separate room, can do twice as much, and in many cases twice as good work, as the same teachers could do if each occupied a little one-room school building. In this way the capacity of each teacher is more than doubled. And if three teachers occupy the same school, each in a separate room, the amount of work they can do is more than trebled; and in general, the greater number of teachers there are in a school, the greater number of pupils each teacher can manage and teach. A simple illustration will serve to show the advantage of consolidating schools. Let us taJ<:e two schools of twenty pupils each near enough to each other to be combined into one school. Let us say there are four grades of pupils in each school-the first, second, third and fourth. It will require all the time of each teacher to teach and manage her four grades of twenty pupils. Consolidate the two schools into one of forty pupils in a room sufficiently large and comfortable, and one teacher can manage and instruct the four grades of forty pupils just about as well as she could the four grades of twenty pupils. There is thus a saving of one teacher's salary. If it were practicable to thus reduce the number of schools all over the county, there would be a saving of half the amount of money paid out to teachers; and we would, in this way, be able to run our schools ten months during the year instead of five, since we would need only half as many teachers. This simple illustration shows that the amount of work done by a teacher

80
may be doubled by a judicious combination of two schools_ N ow, instead of putting one teacher out of school, let us put two teachers into the one consolidated school, each occupying a good, comfort,able room that will accommodate forty children. By a proper division of the work, each teacher now has, only two grades of pupils to teach, and each can therefore devote twice as much time to each grade or class, and the children will double their progress. So we may have eighty children instructed in the one consolidated school, whereas we had only forty in the two separate schools. N ow, since each of the eighty pupils in the consolidated school learns twice as much as a pupil in one of the little separate schools, the benefit derived by the consolidation is made four times as great as it was in the two small separate schools. The problem of consolidating the schools has been rendered easier of solution by the new law requiring the counties to be divided into school districts of not less than sixteen square miles in area. The law contemplates that there shall be only one school for the whites and one for the negroes located as nearly as pr<lcticable in the center of the school district, the schools of the two races being at a proper distance from each other. In aCcordance with this law, the County Board of Education has divided the western portion of the county into thirty-eight school districts approximating sixt~en square miles to the district, some more and some less, according to the natural and local conditions. This was done by taking forty-nine lots of land as a basis of area for the school district, forty-nine lots. being approximately four miles square. It is much more difficult to divide the east side of the river into school districts, as that part of the county is not made up of lots of land containing two hundred two and a half acres, and all these lots definitely numbered on the map of the county. So that part of the county lying on the east side of the river has been temporarily divicle(t into seventeen districts of no definite area till a more accurate

81
and satisfactory division can be made. It is thus seen that there are at present fifty-five school districts in the entire county, but when the boundaries of the districts on the east side of the river are definitely fixed, there will probably be not more thaI, twelve districts on that side of the river; and consequently there will be only about fifty school districts in the entire county. As a number of these districts will n~t have two schools in each district, there will probably be not more than seventy-five or eighty schools in the county. So the law requiring the county to be divided into larger school districts helps in the consolidation of schools.
LOCAL TAXATION FOR SCHOOL PURPOSES.
Our county, as a whole, has been against local taxation e':er since the question was sprung; but three of the school districts in the county have already voted in favor of taxin:.:;' t1~e!j1se1ves, and one other will do so within the next twenty days. Two of these local taxation districts have already built for themselves good two-room schoolhouses; and one of them, the Rentz schooJ district, will soon be compelled to put an additional room to its school building, thus making a good, comfortable three-room house. If local taxation did nothing more than to enable the people of the districts to build suitable schoolhouses, it would pay well for the people to vote for local taxation. If we had good schoolhouses in the proper places, we could have good schools, but without the houses we can never have the schools.
One of the best evidences that local taxation is a good and satisfactory thing is the fact that when once a county, district or city has secured schools by local taxation, the people r~tain them. I would be glad for our county, as a whole, to vote for local taxation.

82
BUILDING AND EQUIPPING SCHOOLHOUSES.
Our board of education and our people are \\raking tip tc, tIle fact that one of the principal essentials to a good school in every school district, is a good, comfortable, attractive two- or three-room school building. There are in the county two very good three-roon'! schoolhouses, and six two-room buildings, outside the city of Dublin. There should be in nearly ewry district at least a two-room schoolhouse. The work (lone, as I have already shown, would be more than doubled. OUt' Board, I am glad to say, has authorized the expenditure of $1,000 of the surplus of last year for school supplies and h';]dings. The supplies in the shape of school desk-, bbckbc:ards, erasers, etc., have already been ordered; and the blackboards, slated cloth, erasers, and school registers have already been received by the county school commissioner, and are now ready for distribution.
SUPPLY OF TEACHERS.
Forty of our white schools and several colored schools have commenced their work for the year 1906 with gOGel prospects of success. But a few of our white schools anel nearly all of our colored schools are still without teachers. The supply of teachers seems to become less every year. This renders it very difficult for us to have all our schools running at the - most suitable time. This deficiency in the supply of teachers does not apply to Laurens county alone. but I understand from the State School Commissioner that it is general. Prosperous times seem to draw teachers off into other avocations more lucrative. This fact forcibly reminds us that we should adopt some means to secure and retain the services of the best teachers. It can be done largely by having long-term schools anel paying our teachers better salaries. In order to have these, the State School Fund must be supplemented by private subscription or local taxation. In connection ,,,ith this, I wish to urge

83
every real estate owner to read Judge Thomas G. Lawson's address on local taxation for schools, a copy of which may be had by calling at the office of the County School Commissioner.
SCHOOL LIBRARIES.
Only a few of our schools thus far have procured school libraries. It is to be hoped that every teacher will do his or her best to interest the patrons of the schools in this very important matter. Every school should have a library and everyone may secure at least a ten-dollar library. The child's taste should be cultivated so as to desire good, wholesome literature, or he may fall into the habit of reading the most injurious literary trash.
SCHOOLS SHOULD ALL BE GRADED.
It is thought by some that perhaps the best work our State School Commissioner has done was the preparation of a graded course of study for the common schools of the State. All the teachers in the common schools of Georgia should be reminded by the county superintq1dents to carry out this course of study, and thus prepare the pupils to enter regularly the high school course. I have understood that one county superintendent in .Georgia made the statement that the preparation of this course of study was worth a year's salary of the State School Commissioner.
SOME THINGS THAT SHOULD BE ENCOURAGED IN COUNTRY SCHOOLS.
I. The planting of trees on the school grounds by the pupils for shade and ornamental purposes.
2. A county contest of pupils in declamation. Such a contest at the county seat or some central point, with a prize for the successful contestant, would cause a lively interest in educational matters.
3. Progress in the teaching of agriculture in the common

84
schools. Nearly all the boys in the country schools will become farmers. They ought to have all the wholesome instruction they can get on that subject. The great mistake that most of our schools and educational systems have made is training their pupils away from the avocation which most of them would naturally follow. Perhaps nine-tenths of the pupils in our rural schools will become farmers or farmers' wives. Then they ought to have as accurate and profound a knowledge of agriculture as they can acquire. The housekeeper ought to have a scientific knowledge of cooking; the planter should have a scientific knowledge of farming, just as the lawyer, the physician or the minister should have special training in their professions.
DIFFICULTY IN VISITING SCHOOLS AS OFTEN AS LAW REQUIRES.,
In a number of counties in Georgia the clerical work of the County School Commissioner's office is so great that it is a: matter of impossibility for one man to do all the work in the office and visit and superintend the schools as the law requires. Laurens is one of these counties. The school laws do not provide for the em!,>loyment and payment of a clerk and stenographer for the County School Commissioner's office. As theclerical work of the office must be done, if any is left undone" it must be visiting the schools. Therefore, in a number of our counties, and Laurens in the number, many of our schools are not visited by the County School Superintendent once a year as the law directs.
The salary of the County School Superintendent is not sufficient to warrant his employing and paying an assistant. This difficulty might be removed by a new law providing for the assistance and salary of a clerk in this office in all counties 'whose population is 25,000 or more. Or these large counties might vote for local taxation, and appropriate a part of the local tax school fund for the payment of, an assistant in the-

85
County School Commissioner's office. In my op1l11On this would be about the best investment that could be made of a small amount of the school fund in several large counties in the State. By proper real superintendence of our rural schools, by the county superintendent, these schools in many cases would accomplish much more good than they are doing. But as the case now stands, the superintendent must remain in his office and let the schools suffer. It is to be hoped that the grand jury will recommend some relief for this situation in Laurens county.

MADISON COUNTY-B. N. WHITE, C. S. C.

There were three school-rooms well ceiled and about one

hundred good home-made desks and fifty patent desks put in

the schools in 1905. There \vere more trees planted on school

grounds in 1905 than ever before in anyone year, and more

interest shown in improving the school grounds than ever

manifested before.

\Ve succeeded in getting teachers for all of our schools by

giving temporary license to at least thirty or forty per cent.

of them, and much to my surprise and regret, a majority of the

teachers who once teach under a temporary license seem to

lose all desire for any further improvement. They seem op-

posed to teachers' institutes and summer schools, and e\'ery-

thing else that seems to imlJrove and uplift.

Up to five or six years ago \ve had only five or six long-term

schools in the county. Last year \ve had thirteen, and this

year we have contracted for fifteen. The long-term school

seems to improve each year and the five-month's school seems

to fall off each year. This is very easily accOllnted for: A

teacher who is willing to take a five-m01;th's school at the

prices they pay is generally so very incompetent, indifferent

and lifeless, they can not get up any interest and inspiration in

either parent or pupil.

.

/
86
Temporary license has injured the schools of Madi50n county more than any other one thing.
Our board, to en~ourage long-term schools, agrees in the contract to pay for an extra month, provided the patrons of the school will supplement the school enough to pay for two extra months, and the teachers will teach eight months, instead of just the five months public term.
Up to date there has been very little progress made in the teaching of agriculture, and to encourage it our board has offered some prizes in furniture or other supplies of a permanent nature to the schools whose pupils make the most corn or cotton on an acre of land, and give full description how the lands are prepared, fertilized, planted and cultivated.
Our plans for 1906 are not fully developed as yet.
s. MORGAN COUNTy-F. L. FLORENCE, C. C.
The past session has been more successful than that of 1904. The difficulty of securing the new books in 1904 well nigh demoralized the schools, and anything like efficiency was impossible. The work in this county is now well adjusted to the graded system. But much is yet to be done before a satisfactory degree of efficiency is attained.
One of my greatest difficulties is to secure thorough work in those schools which furnish only a sufficient number of pupils to authorize the employment of one teacher, but in which all the grades are represented. I have limited such schools to seven grades, but that is too much for one teacher to do successfully. I have tried transportation, but it proves satisfactory only in one community, and that under very favorable conditions, such as no other community in the county can supply. Then, too, I find it impossible to transport pupils to central schools with anything like the small amount of money at our command. It is cheaper to operate the separate schools.

87
1 have done something in the way of consolidation, but when it is left to a vote of the communities" ,it is a slow processwell-nigh impossible. Only local tax districts can successftllly consolidate and transport pupils.
During 1904 we held an election for local tax for the county, which resulted in its defeat by only thirty-three votes. This was attributable, I think, to, our fixing the date of election too early. People are slow to vote a tax upon themselves until thoroughly convinced of its necessity. vVe have one district j hat voted a local tax, but it will not come under this report. It begun operation January I, 1906.
In the matter of oratorical contests, our county has been uniformly successful, increasing in interest each year since we introduced the custom-1903. The prize winners in our contest in 1905 also won the first prizes in the State contest at the Georgia State Fair, last October. vVe find this contest very productive of interest in our schools, both on the part of the pupils and their parents. It has also had a wholesome effect in bringing the country and town into closer relations. Our next coptest will be May 4, 1906. vVe have set the date on Friday at the request of many of our bw.iness men, who desire to attend, but can not do so on Saturday, which is a busy day with them.
Quite a number of pupils, I understand, will compete for the U. D. C. History Medal. And I am organizing a "Boy's Agricultural Club," to be composed of pupils in the county schools. vVe will have monthly meetings, and study systematically the subject. Each boy will have a plat of land at home and will there test the knowledge gained at the club meetings. Under the auspices of this club we expect to have a Fanller Boys' Fair in October.
Some interest has been taken in tree-planting in our schools, but I have received no definite reports of the work. I hope to give this matter more attention later.

88
Our schools are fuller this term than ever before at the beginning of the year-a very satisfactory evidence of increasing interest in education.
MURRAY COUNTY-\V. D. GREGORY, C. S. C.
Enrollment and average attendance slightly in excess of that uf 1904. \Ve have three long-term schools: Lucy Hill, at Spring Place; Sumach, at Sumach, and Pleasant Valley, at Dunn, Ga., all of which have done excellent ,vork this year.
\Vant of interest among patrons and irregular attendance of p~lpi1s are hindrances to our short-term schools, but these are being overcome to some extent. \Ve aim to do what "'e can toward consolidation next year.
NEWTON COUNTy-G. C. ADAMS, C. S. C.
The year 19()5 in 1\ewton county '~'as attended with gratifying success. The general trend was toward better things educational1y. There seems to be more sympathy existing among sl~perintendent, teac1.1ers, patrons and pupils than formerly. There is a rea1living interest in good schools among all classes of our people. As a rule, they are no longer satisfied "'ith the mere "keeping" of school. As a striking evidence of this, our patrons paid for additional salaries and to lengthen the school term of 1905, $2,000 out of their own poc.kets. Only a few
years ago less than $ roo were confributed in addition to the
public fund in the "'ho1e county. \Ve believe that our county contests-the Annual Oratorical
and Corn Gro\\'ing contests-have had large influence in these improved conditions. These bring great qmn1s of people together, and as they are counted a part of our school work, it is but reasonable that they become more or less interested in our schools.

In 1905 there were completed in Newton county two excellent schoolhouses, costing about $1,500 each. These houses are large and handsome, and are built according to the latest and best plans. These school lots contain four acres in the most desirable situation in the commumtIes. Indeed, our Board of Education make their appropriations on condition that the community make them a deed to a desirable lot of fOl1r acres. Two other splendid schoolhouses have just been finished in our county on the same terms as above, and cost,ing about the same amount.
Last year our county had the honor of planting more trees, vines, shrubs,etc., than any other county in the State. Our patrons andpbpi1s planted at home and at school more than 20,000. vVel1ave not ceased planting, as we have on now a contest coveri#g school ground work. A good friend to our schools has of{red a handsome library to that school which will do the most creditable work in planting trees, hedges, vines, ,etc., and in beautifying th~ grounds generally.
vVe have had but little trouble in supplying all our schools with good and efficient teachers who cheerfully attend teach ergf meetings and do professional reading, that they may keep abreast of the most approved methods in teaching.
There \vas a good increase in the attendance over the previous year. The average length of the term of our white schools was seven months, the patrons paying for half the time of two months above the public term. Local taxation is being discussed among our people, and, \ve think, -growing in favor. \Vhen the people come to see that to be for the tax is to be for the children, and to be against the tax is to be against the children, which, to our mind, is the only reasonable conclusion, they will be exceeding-1y timid in their opposition to it.
\Ve have about a hundred volumes of professional works in our teachers' library. Our circulating library, consisting of forty boxes of fifty volumes each, containing the choicest liter-

90
ature of all the ages for the children, is .the largest school circulating library in the United States. It is doing a great good. Reading circles in the homes of the patrons are being formed from it. Our teachers take a live interest in organizing Jhese circles. \Ve have many evidences that this part of our school work is of greater value than we know.
Our teachers have done much excellent work in the way of grading their schools. Many of our schools are as well graded now as the average village school. As a result of consolidation and transportation we have been able to put good teachers in charge of only two or three grades. It is patent that the value of this class of work as compared with the old one-teacher-forall-the-grade plan can not be measured by dollars and cents.
The teaching of agriculture in our schools is growing in interest. The people are waking up to the study of this very important branch in which so large a part of our population is engaged.
\Ve are encouraged with the outlook for 1906. More children are attending our schools at present. than ever before since the public school system was organized.
PAULDING COUN'rv-R. E. L. \VHI'YWORTH) C. S. C.
A new $6,000 school building was completed at Dallas 111 time to commence the year 1905 in it. A $300 house was built at New Hope; a $300 house was built at Mt. Moriah; a $400 house was built at Yorkville. About $40 was spent for' the repair of Granger schoolhouse. The school building at Hiram was nicely painted.
In seven of our schools Arbor Day was held. Two hundred' and thirty-six shade-trees, 284 fruit trees, 89 rosebushes, 249 flower plants of various kinds, 60 plants of shrubbery, were planted. Five compositions on trees were written and a number of speeches were made.

91
The supply of teachers has been sufficient so far as numbers were concerned. The larger part of them need more training.
The interest of parents has been greatly increased. The attendance has been a little above the average of former years.
The Dallas graded school is the only long-term school in the' county at present.
\Ve have several school districts that will vote for local tax when they have an opportunity. It is doubtful if we could get it by a vote of the county at present.
\Ve expect to redistrict our county this year. 'Ne will cut out a number of little schools when we get it rearranged. This plan will make our salary system much better. The granct jury recommended that the convict hire be applied to schools for two years. This fund of about $3,000 will beus.ed for the better equipment of schoolhouses.
\Ve have six who stood the examination completing the: common school course successfully.
RANDOLPH COUNTy-E. \V. CHILDS) C. S. C.
Beginning in the fall of 1904, efforts were made to securelonger term schools by contributions from patrons. The public term is six months. In every school except two this is supplemented from one to three months. Salaries have also been materially increased. By the increase in the length of term we have been able to make progress in grading the schools. Twenty-four pupils passed the seventh grade examination in March, 1905. \Ve expect a hundred to pass in 1906.
Something over $2,30 was spent during the year for new buildings, . repairs, painting, and new desks. The County Board of Education appropriated about half of this amount. N early all the white schools have been supplied with libraries. This work will be pushed until every school has a number of

92
well-selected library books. During Arbor Day season COI1'Siderable work \yas done in improving grounds and buildings.
During 1906 the Ai-bar Day work will be continued, and on a more permanent basis. The teaching of agriculture has been, and will continue to be, stressed. Agricultural contests along the lines planned by the lJninrsity are being inaugurated. The work of repairs, painting, etc., will be pushed until every schoolhouse is put in first-class condition and equipped with modern furniture.
Our great need is a local tax to supplement the State fund. vVe hope to secure this in time for the term of 1906-07.
(Local tax carried by good majority in June, 1906.-\V. B. M.)
C. ROCKDALE COUNTy-A. D. HAMMOCK, C. S.
Several years ago. the Board of Education of Rockdale 'County eliminated summer schools for the whites. vVe arranged to have all of our schools to apen about the middle of Nonmber, on the same day, and to have all of the public term taught consecutiye1y, and to have all the schools to close on the same day. At first, in those sections that had been accustomed to summer schools, \ye met with considerable opposition. But now the people see. the wisdom of the change, and l1eartily endorse the present plan.
\Ve have about solved the problem of school consolidation in Rockdale, except in one militia district.
\Ve have circulating libraries for all of our schools, which are doing a great work.
Rockdale is a small county. and Conyers, the county seat, located near the center of the county, is the only large town in the county. A movement has just been inaugurated to ~1ave the local school system of Conyers and the county school system merged into one system, and to establish in Conyers :an up-to-date high school, which will be accredited by our State

University and other, higher institutions of learning. The plan embraces the lengthening of the term for all of our schools tunine months, and ~o have an open way for those pupils who receive certificates of gl~duation from our public schools for admission into the. high school without further examination. Of course, the teachers in our common-schools will be restricted to teaching the public school course ~xclusively. They will not attempt to do any high-school work.
\Ve are fully convinced that if the voters of Rockdale can be persuaded to adopt this plan the county will have an ideal. school system.
SPALDING COUN'l'Y-]. O. A. :M1LLER, C. S. C.
The common schools of Spalding county, in the main, were well and profitably conducted during the year 1905. There are several splendid communities in the rural districts of the county, in which dwell a good, thrifty, intelligent and contented population. These people appreciate their educational advantages and patronize our public schools. Their homes, farms and plantations indicate prosperity. They do not wish to move to town. Their success in agricultural and kindred pursuits, attested by premiums \von several years in succession at the State's expositions, proclaims Spalding as the banner county of the commonwealth. Agriculture is practically taught coram agricolis, as well as theoretically, in the schools.
The schools of Spalding county during 1905 continued the beneficial policy of previous years in offering educational advantag'es to the children of the poor and the rich on the same terms. This distinctive feature of our common school system enables poor children to attend school without embarrassment. The rich and poor herein meet together upon a common level, .so far as school privileges are concerned. The "poor school. fund," as provided for under the old law, was to many deserving children of the State a reproach rather than a benefit.

94
Our school prospects for 1906 are hopeful. Those that administer our school affairs have never been satisfied with past achievements. We wiSh to do more. Amongst other plans of work proposed, we desire to reach mOl.e effectually the children -of our mill population. To this end, we contemplate building at least one commodious school-house this year at the Spalding Mills.
STEWART COUNTy-To T. JAMES, C. S. C.
About one year ago the patrons of this school began to dis<cuss the advisability of building a new school-house. The board responded that it would help them liberally towards the building of the house. The people in that section are poor, but by energetic co-operation, and the aid of the board, they built a school-house costing about $700. The building h~s two rooms for recitations, and a' cloak-room and a front porch, with an .arch overhead. There is a door from each room out to this porch. Since the building of this house much more enthusiasm has been shown, and interest taken, in education. \Vhile they did not have but a six months' term for the past year, yet they hope to get a good teacher and run the school for nine months next year. This school teaches the common school branches, and also the high-school studies, including algebra, Latin and geometry. Seventy pupils were enrollecl during the past term, while S6 were enrolled during the term prior to the last one. The increase in attendance was due to the building of the house.
SUMTER COUNTy-W. S. MOORE, C. S. C.
The Board of Education of Sumter county realized that in order to' have a good system of schools it was necessary to have comfortable houses in every school district. In the year1891 schools were being taught anywhere a few children

95

could be gotten together. The board saw they would have to consolidate these schools. A school site was established about four miles apart. Building was done on the following plan: Board furnished all the material. Patrons furnished one acre of land and paid for the building of the houses. In a few places old houses were repaired and made good as new.
\Ve have twenty-five white schools. Houses all are owned by the board, except three, and are seated with patent desks and some other appliances. \Ve have commenced to improve the school grounds by putting out trees and flowers. The greatest improvement has been at Plains School during this
year. Prof. R. E. \Vhite has planted trees and flowers; the
work has been done in a systematic way, and in a few years

it will be a beautiful school ground. \Ve expect to encourage this work, and in the near future expect to have all the school

grounds well set with trees and flowers. \Ve have a library in about half of our schools, and expect
to place one in every school.

Our teachers are taking more interest in attending summer schools; they realize that thorough preparation is necessary for successful work.

More attention is being paid to the gr?ding of schools, the graded course of study sent out by the S. S. C. is being used, and nearly all schools are following the course as far as they can in a country school.
The seventh grade examin~tion will do much to stimulate interest in both pupils and patrons.

\Ve are still encouraging long-term schools. Most all our white schools continue for eight and nine months. Our county

does not seem to be ready for local taxation. \Ve shall continue to work for the interests of the schools, and strive for the upbuilding of a good system.

TEI,FAIR COUNTy-To P. \VINDSOR, C. S. C.
It affords me pleasure to report to you very encouraging progress in the erection of new school buildings, as well as repairs of many old ones. Much more pride is manifested along this line among the citizens of my county than ever before. Quite a number of our schools have added to the attractiveness of surroundings by setting shade trees and other shrubbery. \Ve have made fair progress in placing patent desks in our schools, and propose pushing the work along all of these lines until our school buildings shall be all new and modern in architectu-re.
\Ve have been very fortunate in supplying our schools with as good talent as the profession can furnish. It is very gratifying to report that our teachers are, as a rule, progressive and aggressive, and exceptionally capable in arousing interest. This is, perhaps, more clearly demonstrated in the fact that attendance has increased, anel interest on the part of parents greatly intens ifieel.
Our teachers are apprised of the good results attending interschool contests, and are planning for a more aggressive effort along this line for the ensuing school year.
\Ve regret to note but little progress in working up a sentiment in favor of local taxation. The scheme, however, is

.97
gradually increasing in favor. \lVe feel assured that it is only a quest'ion of time before the entire county will fully comprehend the merits of the policy, and adopt it without a dissenting vote.
TWIGGS COUNTy-B. S. FITZPATRICK, C. S. C.
My first and main duty has been to secure good teachers, realizing how much the school's welfare depends upon them. If we had a scholarly, well-trained, tactful teacher in every school, many of the school problems would disappear. My corps of teachers for the past term will compare favorably with those of any previous year. I found, howevei', that the popular demand for male teachers could not be supplied, on account of our inability to compete with other callings in the matter of salary.
The matter of better preparation is pressed upon the teachers continually, and the teachers' monthly institute is regarded as one of the means to that end. Early in the term the teachers were called together, an attractive program prescribed, subjects assigned to teachers, and the work of the monthly institute began. Care was taken to give every teacher some work to do, thus to enlist interest and develop talent. In these gatherings, as always the case, the best teachers were found to be the most regular in attendance and most respon~ive to calls for work. It was made a point to not hold institutes at one place, but at different places. This served the purpose of exciting local interest and enthusiasm.
ANNUAL INSTITUTE.
The Annual Institute, with Prof. J. N. Rogers :lS expert
teacher, was held at Jeffersonville, June 12-16. His practical way of treating the different subjects made his work one of real value to the teachers. The last day of the institute was
7 B Be

devoted to the exhibition of specimens of drawing, penmanship, etc., and in the afternoon of this day contests in elocution, declamation, spelling, and essay-writing were held. Hughes medal for oratory was won by ~aster Benton Linder, of the Danville school; the elocution medal was won by Miss Mattie May Miller, of the Fitzpatrick school; the Solomon prize for spelling was won by Miss Lucile Sanders, of the Williams school; the O'Daniel prize for the best essay on "Twiggs county since 1865" was won by Miss Rosebud Fitzpatrick, of the Fitzpatrick school.
The medals were delivered in a very happy manner by Dr.
J. C. Solomon, ,of Atlanta.
During the week popular addresses were made by Rev. P, D. Ellis, of Jeffersonville; Mr. Joseph Deese, of Longstreet,
and Dr. J. C. Solomon, of Atlanta.

SCHOOL-HOUSES.
The matter of school-houses is one of constant concern. Four neat, comfortable school buildings were projected in 1905, and completed for the present term. Two s~ts of patent desks have be~n put in, and others purchased for another school. I hope to be able to report soon every school-house in the county a model of comfort and beauty.

LIBRARIES.

Nearly all our white schools are supplied with libraries. This county was one of the proud winners of one of the li-

'braries offered by some benevolent gentlemen for Arbor Day

observance. This library of sixty handsome volumes has been divided into three sections of twenty volumes each, and is

going on its mission of sunshine and pleasure to the different

schools of the county.

/

ARBOR DAY.
N early all the schools in the county observed this day by planting out flowers, trees, and otherwise beautifying the school

99

grounds, several placing beautiful wIre fences around the

grounds.

SUPPLY OF BOOKS.

Some trouble has been experienced in the ample and ready

supply of school books. When the present law of supplying

school books went into effect three local dealers in the county

were secured to handle these books, but I find that the mer-

chants manifest no eagerness to handle them, and patrons are

often put to some trouble to secure them.

SCHOOL ATTENDANCE.
One of the greatest problems in our school work has been the indifferent attendance. Every effort has been made to render the work of the school efficient and acceptable; every device in the way of report cards, etc., has been resorted to with a view to bettering the attendance, but the matter remains one of our most serious problems. And until every patron shall consider it his paramount duty to educate his children. and look to the school with constant care and attention, this cry of poor attendance will continue.

. UPSON COUNTy-HaN. R. D. SHUPTRINEJ C. S. C.
vVe have made satisfactory progress in building, repairing and equipping our school buildings. There are only two shabby school-houses left in the county. We hope to be able in our next report to say that every child has the opportunity to attend school in a well-furnished, comfortable school-room.
Arbor Day was observed in many of our schools, and a large number of trees set. Our people have not yet realized the importance of preserving our forest growths, and planting trees where necessity has forced their destruction, but with the lessons our teachers are now giving along this line we have no cause to fear but that future generations will be protected in this respect.

100
Our supply of teachers is not altogether satisfactory. While 1he preparation is all that could be expected for the salaries paid, yet the teachers do not stay in the profession long enough that the communities in which they work may have the benefit of experienced instructors.
Our teachers' institutes are regularly attended, and are quiteinteresting and profitable. The teachers, especially the young ones, take part in these monthly conferences.
In about one-fourth of the communities of the county patrons have shown commendable interest, and have contributed liberally to long-term schools. There is increased interest, but it will be some time before a majority of the voters will endorse local taxation.
\Ve have not made satisfactory progress in grading all of our schools. Two obstacles havl! been the frequent change of teachers and irregular attendance of pupils. The certificates. heing sent out from the State Department of Education for seventh grade pupils are doing much to remedy the last mentioned trouble. The specimens of work which I have collected during the year are good.
\Ve had an enthusiastic oratorical contest during the summer which did a great deal of good. Much interest was manifested and enthusiasm aroused. The contest for the comingyear will be made the occasion of an educational rally for all the county.
Our teachers have done but little in the teaching of agricuiture. They have not had special preparation on this important subject, and hesitate to undertake it. We hope to be able another year to report satisfactory progress.
The problems we set ourselves to solve during 1905 were: First, to arouse enthusiasm and support from the patrons. to the schools and school officials. Second, to impress upon them the solemn responsibility regarding the education of their children.

101
For greater inspiration in my w~'rk for 1906 I shall look to the help of the Lord and the State School Commissioner.

'WALTON COUNTY-R. L. PAINE, C. S. C.
The ?chool-houses of \Valton being nearly all new, less than $300 was expended in building during 1905.
Some old debts, however, were paid on those previously built.
\Valton can boast of her corps of teachers (brought about by consolidation of schools).
Gut of the list of white principals, I find of the forty-two names thirty-eight are trained either by normal or college. Thirty-four have first-grade licenses.
Our public term was six months, but more than a dozen rural schools ran from seven to eight months, paying their principals from $45 to $65 salary per month. It is not difficult to supply such schools with excellent teachers, the difficulty being in the smaller schools run entirely by public funds.
Our annual institute was run by the teachers and commissioner, and so conducted as to bring out participation of all attending.

10~
Our monthly institutes were characterized by a fair attendance, and earnest, beautiful spirit of enthusiasm.
In order to have the patrons visit the schools our teachers arranged Friday afternoon debates, speaking, reading clubs, etc., and yet this is one of our problems yet to be solved.
\Valton county has more than a dozen good school libraries, each in as flourishing a condition as the interest of its teacher in reading.
\Ve collected about eight hundred volumes of magazines, periodicals, etc., donated by the kind reading public, and systematically distributed them among the rural schools.
At first this was a "slow go," but now each teacher that brings back a batch carries off another, saying that the interest in it has grown until pupils and many patrons read eagerly all they can get.
Grading in our rural schools, while not as perfect as in those of the towns, is steadily improving.
\Ve keep this subject "alive" before our institutes, bringing programs of d:1ily work and discussing the difficult features.
vVe had our annual educational rally in Monroe in August. This occasion is now looked upon by the public at large as a necessity, its effects being so manifest. First and second prizes are awarded to speakers and declaimers; school displays, consisting of written, manual and industrial work, and prizes in arithmetic and spelling-bees, and best song by school, with an occasional foot-race, are included in our pupils' rally.
A glance over the record shows that while twice as many pupils studied agriculture in 1905 as in 1904, yet this feature is still being neglected by our teachers.
My problem hardest to solve is, how to draw out the interest, sympathy and co-operation of the patron, teacher and pupil, that they may intelligently accept and adopt the methods of progress in this growing educational work.

103
'vVASHING'I'ON COUN'I'Y-WADE H. 'vVOOD, C. S. C.
I beg to hand you my annual report for the year 1905, con taining such statistical data and information as is required of the county superintendent at each spring session of the superior court. The law' relating to this report is as follows: Acts of 1887, page 81, "That it shall be the duty of the County School Commissioner of each of the counties of this State to make report of the school operations of the preceding year to the grand jury at the spring term of the court, and to place his books before them for examination; and, in making up the general presentments, it shall be the duty of the jury to take proper notice of the matters brought to their attention." The Jepartment which I have the honor to direct is as important and the duties thereof are as responsible as any other branch of the county government; and yet this body has only once during the past several years given any notice to this department further than that contained in the cursory report of some examining committee. I do not make this statement reproachfuIly, for fear that your body will be derelict in the performance of its duty, nor is it made egotistically, because I feel that my ccnduct of the department deserves special recognition; but I make such statement because I feel that this oversight on the part of your body indicates a general, public indifference in regard for the school system which stands so potently for the most vital needs of a strong and wholesome citizenship.
The law itself seems to have underestimated the importance of the department which I represent when it said, Acts of 1893, page 63, that it shall be the duty of the county authorities to furnish the County School Commissioner an office, provided there is sufficient room in the court house when all the other officers of the county are provided for. The great and vital mission of the system needs to be better appreciated; the earnest teachers and officials who labor faithfully to attain the grand ob-

104
jects of its operation should have constant and active cooperation and encouragement; and the function of the school as a mighty factor in shaping alL forms of our moral, social and civic well-being must be more clearly comprehended, and must appeal with greater power to those whose interests it promotes, and upon whose endorsement and aid its usefulness very largely depends. As sap is to the life of vegetation and the circulation of the blood is to animal life, so is the dissemination of education and learning to the perpetuation of free government and the improvement of society; and, since the school is our only source of formal education, it deserves and demands intelligent care and generous support.
\Ve have abundant reason to be grateful to our organic law which provides common school education for all, and offers like advantages to the favored and the unfavored ; and we should ever cherish the memories of patriotic statesmen i,vhose wisdom has thus enriched our statutes. The youth of our land have inherent rights to the benefits of free schools, under our system, but the mere provision for the scheme of common school education will not guarantee the greatest measure of benefits-the individual citizen a'nd public at large must understand the objects of the scheme, and enter heartily and actively into the spirit of its purposes in our la\v.
The court has perhaps given you comprehensive charge in which your duties as grand jurors have been clearly explained. He has doubtless defined to you many forms of crime. Probably he has indicated to you the dignity and majesty of the law, and told you that crime, violation of the law, springs from a lack of respect for our laws. Very likely the court has shown you that criminal tendencies would be curbed and respect for the law nurtured by a more rigid, fearless and less discriminating enforcement of the law; that crime is not due so much ts> weakness and insufficiency of law, as, out of sy11l-. pathy and personal feelings, the individual citizen is con-

105
:strained to tolerate the \vrong-doing of his neighbor and shield him from the penalties of his crime in a vigorous execution of the laws. Well enough-but isn't there a deeper cause than that? It is, I believe, true that fear of the severe penalties to be inflicted upon those who violate laws is a powerful deterrent; and, likewise, respect for the law on the part of the individual has much to do with his obedience thereto. In order to have a true respect for the law, the individual must not only fear the painful and hurtful effects of its impartial enforcement, but he must understand the justice and comprehend the object of the law-his attitude must spring from a deep civic conscience and be guided by a right-thinking intelligence. In other words, and to briefly summarize the thought I want to impress, the political character of the citizen is the product of and is shaped by his moral and ethical principles, which would distinguish his. life irrespective of laws which serve to restrain infractions thereof. He must, in order to accord right deference to the law, regard it as but the regulation of society in its larger sense.
Most men do as well as they know. An ignorant mind is a pernicious mind; or, to say the least, is an incapable mind. As men grmv in intelligence and become broadened in culture, they become more capable of self-government-the inception of all true government-and better capacitated to exemplify in practice the teachings of good citizenship. And the point I make is this: that the school and educatiomil influences, however much we may be unable to trace effects to direct causes, have large part in moulding the common standards of life which determine the conditions above described. On this point permit me to quote an utterance from that profound student of political economy and well-recognized exponent of liberal democracy, Thomas Jefferson, as follows: "If a natiGH1 expects to be ignorant and free, in a state of civilization, it expects what never was and never will be. No other sure founda-

106
tion can be devised for the preservation of freedom and happiness. Preach a crusade against ignorance."
I beg to repeat, also, the words of Horace Mann, one of the greatest educators in the history of this nation, and by some regarded as the father of the American school system: "An ignorant people not only is, but must be, a poor people. They must be destitute of sagacity and providence, and, of course, competence and comfort. The proof of this does not depend upon the lessons of history, but on the constitution of nature. N a richness of climate, no facilities for comm.erce, no stores of gold or of diamonds can confer even worldly prosperity upon an uneducated nation. Such a nation can not create wealth of itself; and whatever riches may be showered upon it will run to waste. Within the last four centuries Spain has had as much gold and silver as all the other nations of Europe put together, yet, at the present time, poor indeed must be the people who have less than they." The testimony of such thinkers is not needed to prove that the home and the school, working in harmony for the improvement of society in comprehensive terms, are the most potent agencies of civilization.
The tabulated report hereto attached shows that only about 78 per cent. of the total white school population of the county was enrolled in the schools last year, and that only about 53 per cent. of the total white school popUlation was in average attendance. From the condition thus indicated, it is clear that the usefulness of the funds appropriated is diminished by practically one-half; or, in other words, one-half of the benefits of free common schools is not utilized for want of initiative, or failure to appreciate the important need of enlightenment, on the part of the people. This defection is made the more lamentable when we reflect that 11.9 per cent. of the white population of the State at the present time is illiterate, and that 28,43 I boys and girls from ten to twenty years of age in this State can not read and write. \Ve may be made sadder

107
still by the fact that of the 277,000 white males of voting age in this State, 32,000 of them are illiterate; and this appalling status of affairs exists in the face of a general decrease in illiteracy, during the last twenty years, of I1.3 per cent., and a decrease in illiterate school-age population, during the same length of time, of about 3S per cent.
In view of this alarming condition, the people should be Impressed to better appreciation of means within their grasp; and in default of greater interest on the part of the common people, the State would be but safegual-ding her future security and happiness by adopting legal devices which would erase this deplorable condition from the records of the State. With a view to stimulating better and more regular attendance, I have adopted the plan of having teachers give perfect attendance certificates to such pupils as may be neither tardy nor absent during the month, and it is my hope that this practice may be the means of effectual improvement.
Hoping to broaden the scope of the school's usefulness and thus bring it into touch vvith the daily wants and needs of all the people, as well as affording incentives to regard the school as the vital center of community life, permitting it to shed a wholesome influence over all, I have for the past four years earnestly urged that a library be installed in each white school. In this connection permit me to. quote from a recent circular letter to the teachers: "Again I wish to impress the importance of the school library. A collection of good, well-selected books will add wonderfully to influence and usefulness of the school. No school is complete without a library. The progress made in this movement has been hopefully gratifying. Already, this year, four schools have ordered libraries consisting of from tryirty to seventy volumes each, and costing from ten to twenty dollars each. Other schools are planning to take similar steps. In such schools as have recently selected collections of good books, the parents have become greatly interested, and now

10~
they would not want to be without the books. It will be so in -every other school.
\Vhen we incite a love for good literature in the heart of a -child, we plant the germs of character and self-culture there; and with these powerful agencies of truth and intelligence, the school may properly assume its rightful station in our society, ranking as the most important of all our institutions of organized government. \Vith the influence of good literature permeating social and civic ideals, softening individual character, broadening personal culture and quickening the aspirations of our youth. we may take pleasure in contemplating the future of our people. I hope that I shall be able to again offer a prize to the school procuring the best library this year. The prize of ten dollars, personally offered by me last year, was won by the Smith Grove school, under the management of
Mr. T. J. Swint and Miss Bessie Sumner, who raised over
forty dollars, which they have wisely invested in good books." With the multitudinous sources of cheap and corrupt publi'Cations of all classes and the enlarged facilities for their widespread distribution throughout our country at the present time, the young are going to reac!. To guard against the pernicious influences ,of vile and hurtful publications. we must cultivate a love for the pure and the good in the child. There are other and important reasons why the library should be put into the school.
It is perhaps not inadvisable that I remind your honorable body that one of the most serious problems engaging the thought of the county superintendent at this time is the supply of teachers. Teachers are leaving the profession. It has been difficult to employ a sufficient number of qualified teachers for all the schools of the county, and in some few instances we have been forced to bridge over emergencies with unsatisfactory appointments. \Vhy they leave I am not able to ascribe definite causes, but I assume, and, I believe, con ectly, that with

109
the time required for necessary professional preparation now demanded of public school teachers and the large expenses. therein incurred, men and women can obtain better, more satisfactory and more remunerative employment in other professions. The fact that ninety per cent. of all teachers in this State have a tenure of office of from one to ten years, and thefurther fact that all teachers of the State have an average tenure of office of less than nine years, present problems that are difficult of solution. But when we realize that the average salary of a public school teacher is only $27-43 a month for a term of five months in this State, are they to be judged disloyal, and have we cause to blame them? The average yearly salary of a sel1,ool teacher in this State is only $137.15, and if they have no other sources of income, they must be forced to live on the beggarly sum of $11.43 a month. .
\Vhen we behold cultured men and women subsisting upon such paltry means of livelihood, we may well admire their heroic devotion and wonder that they remain in a profession which offers them no better assurances of material welfare. If this were all, it were bad enough. As if meagre salaries were not sufficient evidence of ill treatment of its most important officials-for teachers are officials-the great State of Georgia-the "Empire State of the South"-must further sap the vigor of its educational life by forcing these underpaid teachers to wait nearly a year for a large part of the miserly allowances made them for their faithful services-while our gallant statesmen sit in ~olemn dignity and the pretense of profound wisdom in the sacred councils of the State, viewing with complacent satisfaction the heroic fortitude with which they have discharged the stupendous responsibilities resting with depressing weight upon their patriotic shoulders, asking in inflated concern for the good of the State whether the same regime shall continue to promote their politi-cal advancement, wondering why it is that these little parasites called schooL

110
teachers should have the brazen temerity to beg for fair and honest treatment at their hands; being so blinded by the seductive allurement of their own political preferment that the hopes of this wealthy State are threatened by alarming evils-which prey upon the vitals of its government, and return to their homes amid the shouting acclaim of a loving and admiring
people! The Stalte's trea:tment 0/ its teachers is nothing less
than a legalized outrage. From a study of conditions in the $outh, I am convinced
that the only relief to which we may turn, and should turn, to supply our educational needs is the adoption of a local tax supplementary to the general tax now levied for general educational expenses. The eleven States of the South expend $550,000,000 annually for whiskey, tobacco and other unnecessary and harn1ful luxuries, while they spend less than $25,000,000 anually for educational purposes; therefore, pauperism can not be offered as an excuse for their recreancy in this respect. \Vithout presenting the many strong reasons why it might be wise for us to adopt a local school tax in this county, I will cite a concrete example in Guilford county, N. C., in which State local tax has been, in numerous instances, recently adopted. The total valuations of property in Guilford county, N. C., is $2,700,000.00, and there are 2,586 polls subject to taxation. Levying a poll tax of ninety cents a head and a property tax of ninety cents a hundred, local taxation would yield a total sum of $IOA30.00 to the above mentioned county. Such a tax would increase the present county school fund eighty-five per cent.; and four-sevenths of the taxpayers would have to pay less than ninety cents each additional property taxes.
Nearly all the States of the Union, whi.ch have good State systems of public instruction, raise their funds by local taxation. New York raises seventy-one per cent. of its $37,000,000 by local tax, while only ten per cent. of its school fund is secured by a general tax; and Massachusetts raises 97 per cent. of

111
its $14,000,000 annual school fund by this means. vVhen we remember that 75.6 of Georgia's population live in the country districts, and understand the limited opportunities afforded her youth, we may greatly profit by considering some change and improvement in our provisions for the maintenance of our public schools. (Extract from report to grand jury.)
WEBSTER COUNTY-So R. STEVENS) C. S. C.
There was taught in the county in 1905 thirty-one public schools, thirteen white and eighteen colored, with a total enrollment of 1,416 pupils. Of this number there were 667 whites and 749 colored. The average attendance was 916-whites 421; colored, 495. The average monthly cost per pupil is eighty-five cents; average amount paid by State is seventy-, eight .cents. There is in the county six white school buildings belonging to the County Board of Education, valued at $1,200, and seven colored valued at $IAOO. Number of school buildings not belonging to Board of Education, white two, valued at $1,000.

REPORT OF THE EDUCATIONAL WORK OF THE. GEORGIA FEDERATION OF WOMEN'S CLUBS.

The work of the Georgia Federation of \Vomen's Clubs is educational in the broadest sense, each committee adding its quota to the general betterment of all existing conditions not in harmony with the highest living, both mental and spiritual.
The specific work of the Educational Committee at the present time is the improvement of primary education through free kindergartens and model schools.

INDIVIDUAL VERSUS STATE EFFORTS.

\Vhile holding individual effort in the highest esteem, the

members of the Federation have been convinced for many years

that the highest wisdom for them lay in holding up the hands

of the State School Commissioner.

They, consequently, have given much time to the investiga-

tion of the most approved system of education adapted to the-

Georgia public schools, and to the collection of money to aug-

ment the sum already appropriated by the State for educational

purposes. By this method every dollar collected becomes at

once beneficial to the child pupil, it being dispensed either in

the salaries of additional teachers or needed apparatus.

Thus the Federation carries no dead capital, and at the same'

time improves the State property.



THE EDUCATIONAL COMMITTEE.
The need of the public school system in cities is the kindergarten. These schools have been established and maintained by the club women in many of the Georgia cities for years. The need of the country public school is industrial education. This need is removed by the Federation's model schools, in which all industrial branches are taught, namely, cooking, sewing, drawing, designing, laundry work and general training.

113

for the girls, ca.rpentry, agriculture and general manual train-

ing for the boys. The financial report of Mrs. M. A. Lipscomb, former chair-
man of education, shows the sum collected and disbursed last

year:

The money was divided between three schoo,ls situated, respectively, in Floyd, Bartow and Madison counties. The work accomplished was perfectly satisfactory to pupils, teachers, parents and club women. Following are two reports of interest:

REPORT OF' CASS STATION MonEL SCHOOL.",,~

DealY Madam President:

Since my last yearly report we have suffered the loss by fire

of all our school property. The next morning a number of

people gathered at the site of the burned building, not a plank

of which was left.

I . ,A'"

When I spoke of resuming school (one month of the sessiort

remaining) several places in which to teach were quickly of-

fered. Two ladies, one a patron, the other a friend, insisted

that a room in their homes be used.

A two-room cabin, near by, was selected, however; the pu-

pils and teachers whitewashed it and put it in as good order

as they could, and though the difficulties seemed insurmount-

able, good work was done.

Now, after much hard work and surmounting many intri-

cate difficulties, more than could be told, an attractive two-

story building has been erected and one much better suited to

the needs of the school.
Bsse

114
On the first floor is the kitchen, shop, assistant's room, cloak room and halls. The main school-room, which is to be, upstairs, is incomplete, as $150.00 is needed to finish it. For the present the shop is used for a school-room, and most of the manual training work is done in a side hall. ~
The cost of the building, complete, will be $2,000. The attendance is better than ever before. The lessons in habits of industry, neatness, promptness and value of time is bearing good fruit. Most of the pupils are deeply interested and are doing fine work. They have helped greatly in making tables, benches, shelves, and putting up and framing blackboards and pictures, etc. They will have their usual school garden, and will enter the State cotton and corn contest; also for the medal and prize offered by the Georgia Division United Daughters of the COIl-federacy, and are much interested in each. In a recent county oratorical contest one of the younger pu'pHs won the medal. The pupils keep the building and grounds in excellent condition. In each room is a motto, and they are: "Everything Depends Upon the Beginning." "Anything Worth Doing at All Is Worth Doing Well." "We Must Not Be Content Until We lIave Done Our Best." The Club women know so well what constitutes a model ~chool and what is done in one, that is unnecessary to repeat. The teachers, Miss Smith, Mrs. Clark and Miss Foute, keep -in close touch with each other, the children and their homes, ,and are doing remarkably good work. We need and must have for school and Sunday-school pur-poses a piano, and we only have $10 on the piano fund; yet we feel that in some way our need will be supplied. Massachusetts Federation, in the most generous manner, continues to support entirely the Industrial Department. The :.res1:llts of tAe work are manifold amd truly gratifying-.

115
One can hardly enter a home in the neighborhood (and the work is not confined to our own neighborhood) without observing many and various articles, both useful and orna mental, made by the pupils, and they teach others, so the ..."ork is continuous. Principles of housekeeping and home-making are inculcated. The influence for good of the school is n~le!ld ing.
\Ve have had the unanimous support of the County Board of Education and of the County School Commissioner, and they have rendered all the aid in their power. I wi~h I could mention each one who has helped, but the limit you have plal.:ed, and which I have already passed, makes it impossible.
Below you will find list of those donating equipment. We have been the most fortunate unfortunate people I know of
The hardware firms of Cartersville, Lumpkin Bros. and Knight Hardware Co., made generous discounts. The Atlanta Stove Works gave a handsome Barrett range. The Youth's Compant'on sent aU. S. flag, and six historic pictures. Through Mrs. Leighton, Chairman of Education for the Massachusetts Federation, came a box of books, a late U. S. map and globe. The Atlamta Const1~tution gave an excellent wall chart, consisting of a map of Georgia, etc. Foote & Davies, of Atlanta, a Georgia flag. Through Mrs. Hall, our former teacher, Miss Dozier, Mr. R. R. Phillip, of Atlanta, donated a heater. Mr. Clayton, . County School Commissioner, gave a fine primary chart. Mrs. Granger, of Cartersville, presented a large set of nature study pictures. From the Methodist Church at Cartersville, a bell. The News, of Cartersville, has rendered; valuable services. All this, -in: addition to the many who have donated so generously to the rebuilding fund.
Respectfully submitted :MRS. JULIA JOHNSON, Director.

REPORT OF WATTERS DISTRICT MODEL SCHOOL.
The Model School, established in Watters District, Floyd county, is the most isolated and inaccessible of the three model schools maintained by the Federation. It is, however, from that very fact working out a'problem even more difficult to solve than that of settlement schools; many of the children come miles, some on foot, some on horseback.
To the school proper have been added, since the establishment of the industrial departments, a shop, a kitchen and a large eight-room house, used as a dormitory. In the latter buildiMg the teachers live and the children whose homes are in the distant parts of the district. Last year every room had four occupants..
Many of the children bring their own provisions and do their own cooking. Since the Federation has become, in a way, responsible for the school, there has been as much gained by the improvement in the manner of teaching the regular common school studies as there has been advantage obtained by the industrial departments.
Formerly there were almost as many grades as there were children. All has now been arranged as nearly as possible to the standard of the city public school.
The good effects of the school is already showing in the health and homes of the citizens. The farmers have found the boy trained in manual work at the model school, during the winter, is valuable as a carpenter as well as farming during the summer.
The housewives have learned that the young girl taught in the model school kitchen knows how to prepare dainty and inexpensive dishes out of what she has about her; that she has learned sanitary laws that will aid in keeping the entire family in good health; that she has been taught many things which add, in time of sickness, to the comfort of the invalid.
The 'Watters District School, in what is undertaken, has

proved a perfect success. But there is yet much to be done by the school which can not be attempted until more funds are -in the treasury. Less than a thousand dollars a year would :supply a model school with the best of teachers and furnish all needed equipment. It is hard for the Club women to appre-ciate the wisdom of giving million-d~l1ar donations to State universities and for higher education, when they see the great need of primary education, and realize what a few thousand -dollars would do in the general betterment of the white mountain child of. Georgia.

The Federation desires to collect sufficient funds to establish a Model Schoo.J at Tallulah Falls. The associatioJ;l would gladly assume the care of one school in every county, if financially able, and it is in order to do this that it is asked that -donations be sent to any officer of the association, or the chairman of education.

THE SECONDARY INDUSTRIAL SCHOOL, AT COLUMBUS, GEORGIA.
C. B. GIBSON, Superintendent.
Practical industrial education introduc~d into the common schools of Germany, half a century ago, has made Germany the greatest manufacturing country in the world. This education introduced into the schools of New England a quarter of a century ago has enabled New England to lead the United States in manufacturing. The South is rapidly becoming an industrial section, and it behooves this section to shape its educational schemes accordingly.
The school board, recognizing the industrial growth of Columbus, and its marvelous future, decided, a year ago, to es~ tablish a secondary industrial school, or a school combining the essentials of academic training and practical work in one or several trades. Such a school proposes to prepare its pupils for actual efficient service in industrial lines as successful breadwinners of good earning power. This will give the boys andgirls of Columbus and adjacent section opportunity to prepare for remunerative service in a field that is rapidly growing in its opportunities.
Experience has demonstrated that without academic training the trade school is a failure. In the rapid industrial development of our country thousands of young people are unable to take advantage of the opportunities for bread-winning in honorable industrial pursuits because of the failure of their purely academic training, however good, to fit them for such pursuits. The school of the day is the school combining certain academic and trade features.
To generously maintain such a school will be giving to the people--the common people-the wealth-producing people, the very best there is in education. It will be fitting the youth for

119

immediate honorable service to mankind, which is one of the

chief functions of education, and for remunerative employ-

ment where their skill and efficiency will make themselves suc-

cessful and will contribute to the greater industrial work of

the South.

The establishment of the school is made possible by gen-

erous donations from practical and successful business men

and manufacturers, who, in this city, as all over the country,

believe thoroughly in !his kind of education and stand ready

to aid it. One of Columbus' citizens, Mr. G. Gunby Jordaa,

who happens now to be the president of the Board of Educa-

tion, gave promptly, upon learning of the plan of the school,

five thousand dollars, and with his .son, Mr. R. C. Jordan, gave

a beautiful site of two and one-half acres of land on Rose Hill.

Mr. R. C. Jordan also proposes to supplement this with a cash

subscription so soon as it is ascertained that the other necessary

f~nds have been provided for construction, as planned. Mr.

George Foster Peabody, a former citizen of Columbus, who

has never lost interest in his old home, asked the privilege of

having a part in the establishment of this school, and gave ten ~

thousand dollars towards it. Mr. John McIllhenny, who, as a

member of the city council of Columbus, in 1866, first intro-

duced the resolution creating the schools, and who, therefore,.

may be called the Father of the <;olumbus Public &hools, also

wished to have a part in' the establishment of such a school in

his old home town. He likewise made a generous donation of

five- thousand dollars. Other prominent manufacturers have

expressed their readiness to have some part in the equipment

and maintenance of this school whenever funds are needed.

The General Fire Extinguisher Company, of New York,

through ,its board of directors, passed a resolution offering to.

equip without expense, the entire building with automatic

sprinklers and other'devic~s for the prevention and extinguish.:',

ment of fires. So that the school will be probably the onlv on~

.

120
in the South efficiently protected by automatic sprinkler. The firm of Frederick Vietor & Achelis, hearing of the movement, promptly sent a check for one thousand dollars. The city council of Columbus set an example to other city councils by promptly proposing to maintain such a school, as well as to contribute largely to its establishment.
The Secondary Industrial School will be linked as closely as possible with the various lines of industrial work going on in the city. To this end there will be appointed by the Board of Trustees of the public schools, and under their direction, an advisory board of five superintendents or managers of various industries who sh"all be men of education and technical training, and who shall hold at least monthly meetings at the Industrial School of from one to two hours while the school is in session, there to make a thorough study of the work in progress in the several departments and make to the Board of Trustees a report after each meeting. The members of the board will be paid a reasonable compensation for their work. The superintendent of schools will be a member of this Board without additional pay.
The school will be open to boys and girls alike of ages ranging from fourteen years up. The only requirements for admission will be sound bodies and a common school education through the studies embraced in our first five or six grades.
Every instrudor will be a person specially trained in the line of industrial work he undertakes to teach.
The work of the school will progress continually throughout eleven months of the year, and avoid as much as possible the waste now going on in educational work through numerous holidays and long vacations. One-half of every pupil's day will be given to industrial work, and one-half to academic .training. The daily session will begin at 8 :00 a.m. and end at 4 :00 p.m., with an intermission of sixty minutes at noon. The work will continue through six days of the week.

121
DEpARTMENTS;
, The industrial department will embrace for boys, work in mechanical arts and textile arts; for girls, work in home economy, industrial sewing, textile arts and office help.
The Mechanical Arts Department will embrace practical carpentry, pattern-making, lathe work, foundrying, forging and machine work.
The Textile Arts will embrace carding, spinning, weaving, dyeing and designing.
It should be recognized that every girl preparing through any kind of education for life will have more or less to do with a home, with the chances largely in favor of her having, at some time, the entire care of a home; and upon the proper management of the home depends much of the efficiency of our service in industrial, commercial and professional lines. The girls of this industrial school, therefore, will hwe, first of ali, training in home economy, which will embrace cooking, care of the home, sanitation and decorative arts.
Industrial sewing will embrace dressmaking, millinery and machine sewing.
Girls will have practically the same trainiBg in the textile arts as boys.
Girls will have opportunity for training in office help, which will embrace stenography, typewriting, bookkeeping and cabinet filing.
STUDIES.
The academic studies of this school will be limited to English, Mathematics, Science and History.
English will embrace the essentials of grammar, composition bearing directly upon industrial and commercial life, letter-writing and reading.
Mathematics will embrace the essentials of arithmetic, omitting much that is now given in the best of common school .aritpmetics; so much of the elements of algebra as may be


122
necessary for advanced work; a thorough training in geometry as a subject of methematics perhaps most closely related to industrial work.
The work in Science will be made thoroughly practical and: limited to those subjects that are most closely related to the industries taught. A general course in Physi~ and Chemistry will be given all pupils and special courses in the departments. of these subjects closely related to their chosen industries. There will be a physical laboratory and a chemical laboratory equipped for individual work of pupils in their special lines.
History will embrace the history of the United States, the Civics and Civil History.of the nation and the State in which we live; a thorough course will be given in industrial history.
The corner-stone was laid with impressive ceremonies June
22d, Dean- James E. Fussell; of Teacher's College, New York, .

CONSOLIDATION OF RURAL SCHOOLS.
HON. M. B. DENNIS) C. S. C.
From nearly every quarter comes the demand for better schools in the rural districts. The people everywhere are waking to the fact that the country schools are sadly inefficient. The demand is confined to no one section of the country. The North, the East, the South and the West seem equally concerned. Newspapers and magazines are devoting no little space to the shortcomings of rural schools, and to the suggestion of remedies. Everybody, at all familiar with the prevailing conditions, recognize the need of improvement.
It does not follow that this demand, so universal, is always based on a true acquaintance with the root of the trouble, to say nothing of the remedy. The masses in particular, simply by comparing the tangible results of the rural schools with those of the towns and cities, recognize the great difference in favor of the latter, but knowing nothing of the causes, and less, . if such a thing is possible, as to the remedy, often gr(jUndlessly charge school officials with carelessness, incompetency or indifference.
While the demand on the part of the masses for improve- . ment is simply for "better schools," with no definite idea as to how better schools shall be secured, or what the cost will be; the reform demanded necessarily contemplates expert supervision, more thoroughly qualified teachers, longer terms, better Classification and gradation, more definite and systematic work, better school equipment every way.
Expert supervision and thorough instruction are predicated of better salar}es and longer terms than are usually found in the rural sections. The schools of the cities and towns underexpert leadership have produced the enviable results needed in the surrounding rural districts.

124
Better salaries and longer ,tenns are contingent upon an ~mple school fund, or such a contraction in the present number of rural schools as will allot to each a larger working capital. These the cities and towns have secured by reason of the great aggregation of wealth and population found in these centers, and of local taxation to supplement the regular State appropriation.
For the same reasons the cities and towns have improved physical school equipment not to be found in the country schools.
Improved classification and gradation of pupils, and systematic work will follow the employment of well-equipped teachers as naturally as day and night follow the diurnal rotation 'Of the earth.
Reduced, then, to its last analysis, more money, or what is equivalent, a better use of the present fund, lies at the very bottom of this all-important question.
How shall this money condition be met? This is the vital question, and the one the answer to which will unlock the -door leading to an easy and complete solution of the entire matter.
If the Legislature, which has already done so much to establish and maintain the public school sy~tem of the State, should see fit to meet the needed conditions, the question would be quickly solved. But delay and uncertainty would naturally follow a movement in this direction. Besides, the Legislature will likely make no increase in the present appropriation to the school fund. The passage of the McMichael bill providing for local taxation by counties and districts was practically a declaration to this effect, not to mention the proud fact that Georgia appropriates annually more money to public education than any other Southern State.
It was the fond hope of those who fathered the McMichael bill that its passage would open up the way for counties and

districts to quickly and amply meet the money conditions above referred to, and doubtless it would, in a great, measure, if adopted; but a long and tedious campaign covering perhaps many years, must be waged before many counties in the State can be brought to adopt its provisions. Again, should the various counties adopt local taxation, this alone would not answer the demand without a better adjustment of present conditions. More than this, we can not afford to sit down and wait until the McMichael bill becomes generally adopted. Time is too precious, and children are passing beyond the school age limit too rapidly to wait. Something must be done now to rdieve the situation. If need be, the McMichael bill can be postponed until later, and then adopted with a view of lengthening the school term to nine months. In fact, the results promised by the adoption of the measure will be greater if, the present conditions are first readjusted.
This brings us to the gist of this article, and to the answer of this most vital question, and it is expressed in one single word-
CONSOLIDATION.

A wise consolidation of rural schools, whereby the number

shall be reduced at least fifty per cent., will produce improve-

ments, if not all that may be demanded, yet wonderful in char-

acter and far-reaching in scope, and without costing the tax-

payers of the State a cent more than at present; and make pos-

sible in every county a term of seven months, with teachers

far above the average presiding over the schools. Then, if two

months additional are desired, the adoption of the McMichael

bill will be eminently in order, making the term nine months.

According to the best authority, twenty square miles to each

school district should be the minimum. Better, should it be

twenty-five. Study the prevailing conditions in the State, arid

almost the entire State, with ~chool districts ranging In area from eleven to fifteen and sixteen square miles each.
As an illustration, let us take one county containing 480 square miles, and examine conditions. This county, irrespective of the number of legally prescribed school districts or militia districts, has forty white schools, each drawing its pupils from an area of twelve square miles on an average. The schools are taught by teachers, as a rule, without experience or any special qualifications; each one laboring: day in and day out with from twenty-five to thirty-five pupils in ungraded classes ranging from the primer to the eighth grade. The pay of the teacher is small and unsatisfactory, less indeed than the annual hire of a Georgia convict, the consciousness of which naturally impairs his already limited capacity for usefulness and activity by rendering him restless and dissatisfied. It is just the kind of salary, in fact, that will attract no other than an indifferent teacher. Under the present condition of things the salary can not be more, for the reason that the county's apportionment to white teachers must be divided among fort) schools.
Let this county be redistricted, as every county board of education in the State is authorized to do, so that each school district will cover twenty-four square miles, with' one school for whites in each, and the results will at once be apparent. Instead of forty principals, twenty would answer. Instead of forty schoolhouses to build and keep in repair, there would be only twenty. Instead of forty schools to visit and supervise, the commissioner would have only twenty. Instead of an average salary of only $30 per month for each principal, $45 could easily be paid with enough left out of the county's apportionment to employ all needed assistant teachers. Instead of only one teacher to each school, two could be provided where needed. These results can all be obtained, and yet no child would have te walk man than hVQ and- a half, lM" tW8 aRd three-f@urt\ls,

127
miles to reach school; and, so far, no transportation of pupils .to and from school at public expense would be necessary.
Carry the consolidation a step farther, and let three schools be combined into one, and the results would be still more marvelous. True, transportation might become necessary, but the increased advantages would more than counterbalance the cost of runl'ling wagons, should that cost anything additional.
The following clipping taken from the Lynchburg (Va.) Advance, is to the point:
POOR PAY, POOR WORK.
"When the qualifications required in a teacher and the importance of the duties to be performed are considered, it will be .found that no other profession of equal dignity is so poorly paid. The practical question is, how can a remedy be found for this state of things? Of course, the teachers might be paid better salaries if a larger school fund could be provided, but something can be done even without an increase of the school fund. It is well known to all conversant with the subject that .there are too many schools in the rural districts. . Where one :school would suffice for a given neighborhood there are often found two or three or more. Every man wants a school near his house, and so it happens that the schools are unduly multiplied, and the money that would suffice tp pay one teacher a gool ~dlary is dissipated among s~veral, so that each gets only a small pittance. It follows, too, that the session must be curtailed, and instead of running one good school eight motlths. three or four schQols are run half that time. Here, then, is where a reform should begin. Consolidate the schools at a cen.tral point, lengthen the sessions and increase the salary. Then we may hope to secure teachers of the best qualifications, and teaching can be made a profession sufficiently remunerative to :become a safe reliance for earning a livelihood."

128
AN EXAMPLE.
A brief account of the history of Putnam, my own county~ bearing on this point, should suffice to demonstrate, not only the practicability of the consolidation of rural schools, but the wisdom of the movement.
About sixteen years ago the county had never been subdivided into school districts by the county board of education as required, or authorized, by law. The old militia districts were the only subdivisions that furnished a basis for establishing schools throughout the county. There were in operation in the county for a few months each year from twenty-five to thirty schoo,ls'. The number varied each year, the board of education,. up to this time, never having fixed a definite number for the county. As a class, inexperienced and indifferent teachers presided. Salaries were small and insufficient, offering no inducement for teachers to remain longer than one tenn, and changes. were constantly in progress. Owing to the number of schools to be patronized, the attendance at anyone of them was small. The school work was "void and without fonn," absolutely lacking in enthusiasm, without purpose, methodless, drifting without chart or compass, imparting to the youth no inspiration, opening up before them no new hopes and aspirations for the future higher than those revealed in the voice of nature about them; in fact, as we have often thought while musing on the situation, the tamest thil1g in all the country, and the most meaningless thing to be found anywhere, was the little school held in the little log cabin nestled in the pines over the hill. Nothing was taught beyond the three R's, and that very imperfectly. The patrons as a rule thought nothing about the school, cared nothing for it, except perhaps to consider' the position of teacher a gift of charity to be bestowed upon some worthy person in the community possessing no other claim than the need of help in providing sustenance for self and family, or as a means to furnish some young lady an opportunity to pro-

129
cure the necessary trousseau demanded by a venture upon the uncertain sea of matrimony.. Only about half the children of school age were ever enrolled, and not klf of these attendeet regularly. The school term was characterized by fits and starts. No special time for beginning and none for closing, but any time to suit the convenience of teacher and patrons. No progress was made from year to year, for the children actually forgot during the long vacation of seven or eight months more: than they learned at school, and it required no special effort on their part.
Do not understand us to intimate that these conditions were' confined to Putnam county. Nay, verily. The picture was a. common one, to be seen on a thousand hills in our beloved. State.. And, confidentially, from all we can gather, the same picture may be seen to-day in certain localities.
About sixteen. years ago our county board decided to make a change with a view of improving conditions. \Vhat were: the results? Briefly these: l'hecounty was subdivided intO' fourteen school districts with an average size of twenty-three square miles. In each, one school for the white:; was established, and only these established schools were recognized as. public schools and allowed to participate in the school fund. This reduction in the number of schools enabled the board of' education to offer better salaries, and at once a crusade for a higher class of ~eachers was begun. The average monthly salary of teachers was raised to $50 conditioned on the employment of qualified teachers only. In consequence a, corps of teachers was secured that compared favorably with any countyin the State. A uniform printed course of study with instructions. to teachers was prepared and every school in the county grad~d_ Where needed, two and three teachers were placed in theschools. A system of weekly and monthly reports to the county school commissioner and monthly reports to parents was inau- gurated, and each teacher required to prepare two programs;
II B Be

130
of daily recitations, one for the school room and one for the commissioner's office. Better school buildings at once began to be erected. One month extra in the length of the term was added, in that, while the public term for the State at large was five months (this being the maximum taught by any county in the State outside of two or three under special systems), this county taught six. And when the State's public term was lengthened to six, this county moved up to seven, and not a single year since, running back some ten or twelve years, has this county taught less than a seven months' term. The character of the work has improved to such an extent that pupils leaving our country schools enter sophomore class in the different colleges in the State and acquit themselves with distinction. The patrons became interested in the schools and in the education of their children to a degree before unknown. The enrollment and average attendance steadily increased until today, in quite every school in the county, the teachers report very nearly every child of school age in their respective districts enrolled. None report more than five of school age not enrolled, while several report only two or three. Not content with seven months, every school community in the county, except three small weak ones, has. for years voluntarily taxed itself sufficiently to add two months extra, thus providing for their children a continuous term of nine months. These advantages, which we deem invaluable, have been secured and enjoyed without resorting to the transportation of pupils to and from school, and have all resulted solely from a judicious consolidation of schools. Further consolidation would necessitate the hauling of pupils. This we are rea!dy for in some parts of the county, but the funds necessary to inaugurate the system are not available.

131
RESULTS OF CONSOLIDATION AND TRANSPORTATION IN THE
STATE.
From letters received from county school commissioners it appears that within the last few years, from 1898 to 1905, some ten or a dozen counties in the State have attempted a system of consolidation of schools, and, in some cases, tested the transportation of pupils at public expense. The counties so far heard from reporting anything like a fair trial of the scheme are as follows:
Carroll-Consolidation and transportation. Clarke-Consolidation and transportation. Henry-Consolidation and transportation. Muscogee-Consolidation and transportation, to a limited extent only. Newton-Consolidation and transportation. Randolph-Consolidation and transportation. Walton-Consolidation only. Washington-Consolidation and transportation, the latter, however, being reported as practically abandoned within the last few years. The length of this article will not permit a detailed account of the results in each county. We will attempt such a summary only as will give the most salient points of interest touching the success of the scheme. From the reports received we gather that the work of the consolidation of schools and the transportation of pupils began about 1898, and that from year to year since, up to the present time, it has been undertaken by different counties until about ten or a dozen have more or less tested its efficiency. The difference in the degree of success attained in different counties is due to the variance in conditions and the interest manifested by the county school officials. In a few counties where consolidation separately, or in conjunction with transportation, has been tried and abandoned,

132

the cause is attributed to the opposition of patrons and not to a

failure of the system to accomplish the purposes of its inaugur-

ation. As a rule, they were simply "against the thing," not

that it failed to answerthe object of its creation, not that it was

too expensive, not that it did not propose better things for their

children, not that it was menacing to health and morals, not

that it wasn't really a good thing so far as they could prove

either by proof or argument or example, but because it was

something new and they were against it. That's all. For the

want of patronage it failed.

From the information so far gathered we note that a total

of seventy-three small schools have been discontinued, and

forty-six consolidated schools established in their stead. The

. number of small schools discontinued by each county ranges

from six to twenty, while the consolidated schools established

range from four to twelve.

The area of territory covered by the districts of the consC!l-

idated schools varies, ranging from fourteen to twenty-f] ve

square miles. The districts in one county run from fourteen

to twenty-four square miles; in another they are uniformly

twenty-five square miles.

The distance children are hauled also varies. From the re-

.

ports it would appear that none are transported who live less.

than two miles from school, unless when they are overtaken on

the road and room is plentiful. The distances as reported are

from two to five, two and one-half to five, three to four, four'

to six, two to seven. These will suffice to show the distances

and their variance in different counties..

In quite every instance reported the children are required to

meet the wagons at certain points on the main roads at a given

time each morning, where they are deposited in the afternoon

on their way home. The distances they are thus required to

walk do not exceed a mile.

The aggregate number of wagons reported as running is

thirty-two. The number in operation In each county ranges from two to seven.
The aggregate number of pupils transported in six of the . above-named counties is 625, an average of 104 to each county. The number reported to each county ranges from 25 to 143. Two of the counties make no report on this point. The average number of transported children to each wagon we find to be twenty.
The cost of operating the system presents some facts that are interesting and very important. The statistics so far obtained show a total monthly outlay, for five of the above counties (the only ones giving definite information on this point), of about $850. This represents an average monthly cost of $26.75 per wagon, or $1.31 per pupil. Allowing that the number hauled by each wagon, if no means of transportation were provided for them, would necessitate the establishment of another school, we find that thirty-two more schools would be required. The cost of operating these schools would be the average monthly salary paid by these counties for such schools. This, in the very nature of the case, if teachers of average ability are employed would be from $30 to $40 per month. The saving, then, in fayor of the consolidation and wagon system would be the difference between $26.75, the ~ost of each wagon, and $30 to $40, the cost of each additional teacher; not to mention the investment in thirty-two school buildings, furniture, other supplies, insurance, needed repairs and other things. To all this add the increased advantages offered by the consolidation system over the old plan, and the difference in favor of the former should be convincing to the most pessimistic.
In every instance the cost of operating the wagon system is paid monthly by the county boards of education.
The wagons and teams, in some instances, are owned by the parties contracting to do the hauling; in. others, partly by the boards of education and partly by the contracting parties. In

134
the latter case the parties contracting to do the hauling own teams and wagons without the bodies, the boa'rds, of education furnishing the covered and seated wagon-bodies at a cost usually of about $25. The b()idies are built on springs, covered, entered from the rear, with seats arranged all the sides. In some instances they are provided with heaters for use on cold winter days.
In most cases reported the drivers are required to be steady, reliable white men, and, when possible, a patron or some one personally interested. In some cases large schoolboys living at the extreme end of the route are employed to do the driving. In every instance they are held responsible for the safe delivery of the children, and required to take full control of them and to report all misconduct to teacher or parent. Smoking, tobacco chewing, or rudeness of any kind, not allowed. The school commissioner of Newton county furnished us with copy of contract required with the drivers, which we append hereto for the benefit of those counties contemplating the inauguration of the system.
In all reports received the statement is made that not a single accident to the children has occurred since the system has been in operation, in all, seven or eight years. The report from Newton county reads as follows: "In all we have hauled 200 children, and, so far as we know, not the least accident has happened to a single child."
Every county that has tried the system to any extent reports marked improvement in both enrollment and average attendance. One county reported the increase in enrollment at one school from 104 to 155, and the average attendance from 6IU per cent. to 77 percent. At another, from 115 to 149, with the average attendance fully as good as the first. Another county reported the average increase in attendance for the county to be 25 per cent.
Some of the counties report a saving in the number of

135
teachers employed, while others report none; and one reports more teachers employed.
All agree, however,that the system has resulted in better buildings and equipment, and improved instruction. In those cases where it is reported that the new system costs mo're money than the old, the statement is made and stressed that the in~ creased advantages far more than offset the additional cost.
Almost to a county, the system, while opposed by some in the beginning, is generally growing in favor every year with the masses, and giving reasonable satisfaction. In one or two instances it is reported as not satisfactory to some patrons. But there seems to be some local cause that in no way argues against the practicability and usefulness of the system. In one or two counties in the State the experiment has proven a failure, because of the half-hearted manner in which it was launched. Wherever the system has received strong backing from the county boards of education and the county school commissioners, and has been launched on a scale of sufficient magnitude and dignity to command the attention and respect of the people to be served, it has met with surprising success and is steadily growing in favor.
THE SYSTEM GOOD FOR FLORIDA.
The results obtained in Florida from consolidation of schools and, incidentally, the transportation of pupils, are summed up in the following, which swnmary is more or less verified in the experience of every county in this State that has given the system anything like a fair trial:
"I. Decreases the aggregate cost of rural schools, or give greater efficiency at the same cost.
"2. Secures to the pupils better instruction, better buildings and equipment, and longer periods for recitation.
"3. Insures closer supervision by officials and stronger principalf.

136
'''4. Conduces to better health and morals. "5. Continues in school country maidens liable to remain at borne because of vagabond tramps or large bodies of employed negroes in certain localities. "6. Holds in school youth advanced' beyond the curriculum and discipline of most small schools. "7. Relieves mothers a~xious about their girls and children ()f tender years. "8. Eliminates truancy and diminishes irregularity. "9. Causes to attend many out of reach of a school without transportation. "10. Enhances the value of the instruction, because the larger the number of pupils the fewer the grades per teacher, and the more of himself the teacher is enabled to give to each pupil. "I I. Awakens healthy rivalry through the inspiration of numbers. "12. Makes compulsory attendance more feasible and j ustifi.able." The next question is one that will interest in this age of -industrialism and practical results a great many people who otherwise would not be attracted:
DOES CONSOLIDA'l;ION PAY?
The following is taken from the report of the Commissioner -of Education for the United States, Vol. I, 1903, and answers the foregoing query :
"During 1902 three school districts in Mangum township, Durham county, N. C., were consolidated into one district, with the following results:
"I. Salary of teachers before consolidaJion : "I. Salary of teacher in district I, $35 per month. "2. Salary of teacher in district 2, $35 per month. '''3 Salary of teacher in district 3, $35 per month."

137

"II. Length of term before consolidation:

-"I. Term in district I, six months.

"2. Term in district 2, six months.

"3. Term in district 3, six months."

"III. Average daily attendance in districts before consoli-

dation:

"I. Average daily attendance in district I, IS.

"2. Average daily attendance in district 2, 16.

"3. Average daily attendance in district 3, 24"

"IV. Results of consolidation:

,

"I. Total salary of two teachers, $100 per month.

"2. Length of term, seven months.

"3. Average daily attendance, 80 out of total enrollment of

113
"4.Greatly increased inter,est in public education; three poor school-houses abandoned an,d one neat, 'Comfortable house erected; a graded school.

CONCLUSION.

"Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter:

"I. Rural schools are inefficient.

"2. Cause, under the present system prevailing in the State,

lack of money to secure properly qualified teachers and needed

school equipment.

"3. More money can not be hoped for, but under a judicious

policy of consolidation of schools the present fund can be made

to accomplish quite double the present work, both as to quan-

tity and quality.

.

"4. Should consolidation of schools be carried to the extent

that transportation of pupils at public expense be necessary,

the excellent results, as shown by actual experiment, would be

enhanced in the same proportion as smaller schools are discon-

tinued and combined into larger central ones. The fewer the

number of schools in any county, respect being had for a rea-

138

. sonable distance for transportation, the greater and more benefi-

"

cent the results."

".' .

These conclusions are drawn not alone from Georgia's ex-

perience, or from Florida's, or from North Carolina's, but

from the history of the system wherever it is practiced on the

face of the globe. Everywhere, North, South, East and West,

in Europe, or elsewhere, wherever the system has been prop-

erly tested, the results hav,e been not only satisfactory, but have

exceeded the hopes of the most sanguine.

Then, in He;aven's name, why should any county longer

stand back and hesitate, or refuse, to do that which the civilized

world has declared in no uncertain tones to be the very thing

that should be done for the children in order to improve their

opportunities, to develop their possibilities, brighten their

hopes, stimulate their aspirations, and to lead them on to that

preparation necessary to the accomplishment of their mission

. in the world as laid down at the very dawn of creation by their

Maker himself, when, fashioning man after His own image

and placing in his hand a fee-simple title to the world at his

feet, He instructed him to go "and subdue it."

THE RABUN INDUSTRIAL SCHOOL
AND
MOUNTAIN SCHOOL-EXTENSION WORK AMONG THE MOUNTAIN WHITES.
(BY ONE of THEM)

ANDREW J. RITCHIE, A.M., FOUNDER AND SUPERINTENDENT.

RabuA Gap, Georgia.

TO THE PROSPEROUS AND THE GENEROUS.

Rabun is my native county, and I have kept in touch with

its people all my life. I know their needs and their resources.

With a few rare exceptions, they are an excellent 1?'OPuiation

-none better anywhere within the range of my acquaintance.

But they are poor. There is no school of advanced grade with-

in the limits of the county, and never has been. Children in

that region abound; the valleys and hillsides literally swarm

with them, and many of them have as bright minds as can be

found on earth.

'

An effort is now being made to construct and maintain a

school at which these children, or a due proportion of them,

can obtain a practical education. The leader in this good cause
is Professor Andrew J. Ritchie, himself a native of the county,

.and one of the few natives who have managed to acquire a

-collegiate education. He is devoting his time and energies to

this noble work as a labor of love, and without the hope of

other reward than the good which others may derive from it
in the years to come. I have known him from his childhood,

..and Rave known his parents and his grandparent! from my

148

own early manhood. I vouch for his fidelity, and pledge my-

self for the honest application of all funds which may be en-

trusted to him for the purpose above referred to. Moreover,

I appeal to all the able and willing to aid him with such con-

tributions as they can afford.

.

Very respectfully,

LOGAN E. BLECKLF;Y.

Atlanta, Ga., January 4, 1904.

A PERSONAL WORD CONCERNING THE WORK.
The object of this prospectus is to ask assistance for a work to which the writer has felt himself moved in behalf of a peo~ pIe which he believes are to-day the most important element in the South or on the American Continent to be reached by education-namely, the isolated and unlettered white people of the Southern Appalachian mountains.
This work is one to which I have been impelled from a sense of patriotic duty and responsibility, and at the sacrifice of personal interests which it has been necessary to make to undertake such a work in this needy field. The county in which the work has been projected is the county in which I was bam and reared. These mountain people are my own people. I know their great potential worth, and the privations and destitutions by which they are surrounded. The disadvantages under which they labor are so great that no material improrvement of their educational status is possible in this generation unless they shall have assistance from the outside, and unless some one shall undertake to secure this assistancefor themby'enlisting the interest of the outside world it! their coQ-dition.

STORY OF THE EFFORT TO ESTABLISH THE INDUSTRIAL SCHOOL. '
In August, 1902, while on a visit to the county during my v,:cation as a teacher at Baylor University, Texas, Is~w the

149
great need of not only a strong school in the county, but of a -school that would provide something more than the old edu.cation of the text-books. I noticed that the brightest boys were leaving the county, and that the girls, as a rule, were :being.left without education and in the midst of surroundings . in which their social condition was helpless and hopeless. I thought how much it would mean if there could be a school in which these boys and girls could be educated at home and trained in profitable occupations so that they would remain in the county and marry and make homes and elevate the standards of life and society in their communities.
With this thought in mind, I urged the building of such :a school and agreed to undertake to secure outside aid for it if the people would take up the movement and carry it forward among themselves. This effort failed, however, on account of the divisions among the people and the lack of leadership.
In June, 1903, my health at the same time requirin~ a change of work and climate, I resigned my position at Baylor University and returned to the county with the purpose of giving my personal attention to the work until a school should be established.
CANVASS :FOR SUBSCRIPTIONS.
I had saved a few hundred dollars out of my three years' teaching, and with a part of this I purchased a pony and a typewriter, and with the assistance of my wife as my secretary I began a canvass for subscriptions among the mountain farmers and a correspondence with people outside the county whom I thought I might interest in the undertaking.
It was decided to locate the school in my home community, which was the strongest in resources and population in the county and which offered a large tract of land and liberal subscriptions toward the constru.s:tion. In the course of the summer and fall I found about twenty-five men in this community

150
who would give one hundred dollars each to have the schoof built in their midst.
I then entered upon a canvass of the county to find how many citizens would give one hundred dollars to have the school built in the county. A few were found outside of the local community who would give this amount. I then sought for men in the local community and elsewhere who would give fifty dollars, then for those who would give twenty-five dollars,. and on down to a dollar. I was anxious to get every grown person in the comrnunity to give something, and to get every voter in the. county to contribute if possible.
The subscriptions were taken on a two years' plan to give the people time to meet the payments, and to develop the plans. of the work and construct a suitable building.
It was no slight task to make this thorough canvass of a county which is forty miles from corner to corner and in which the best mode of travel is on horseback. The work of securing and collecting the subscriptions has been so great that I have been able to carry it forward only from month to month as I found time from the attention required to the construction of the building and the correspondence and travel in the interest of the undertaking outside of the county.
CONSTRUCTION OF THE BUILDING.
As soon as enough subscriptions were secured to warrant the undertaking of the building, I organized a Board of Trustees of the best citizens of the county to hold the title to the property, and then organized a Building and Finance Committee of the best men in the local community. The men composing these two bodies, numbering about twenty active workers in all, have shown the stuff they are made of in the struggles through which the undertaking has passed.
The building, a modem structure especially designed for an industrial school, was begun with very little money in hand. It was not the simple matter of making an appropriation and

151
coming within its limits, but of projecting the undertakingwithin its reasonable proportions and getting the people to pay in their money as they could, and when they had no money to give their labor and such building material as could be used.
Some of them brought their teams and made the excavations. for the basement story, others quarried and hauled the stone, still others cut and hauled the logs to the sawmill for the framing, and almost the entire community shared in hauling the rest of the material over the mountains from the railroad, a distance of fifteen or twenty miles fO[" the round trip, and in this way saved a great deal of money which they were unable to give. Thus the building was constructed as the money and! material came in, and with the great gain that as it grew the' people felt that it was their own, and that as friendly gifts came from the outside they realized they were doing what they could to help themselves.
THE PART OF THE MOUNTAIN PEOPLE IN THE WORK.
About $5,000 has been raised in the county. Of this the local community has given about $4,000, and the rest of the county about $1,000. The subscriptions have ranged from $125 to 25 cents. Nearly every grown person in the community has given something andmore than third of the votersof the county have contributed.
The Rabun Gap School Improvement Club, an organization among the women and girls, has proved a most valuable auxiliary to the work of the men. Its work of beautifying theschool grounds won for it, for amount of work done, first mention in a contest among the school improvement clubs of theState.
A WORK OF FAITH.
The work of constructing the building and operating the school for its first term has now (May, 1906) occupied almost three :years. During this long period I have gone into every-

152
part of.the county and have talked to almost every voter, either publicly or privately, on the subject of education. Most of the time I have gone on horseback, sometimes in a buggy, and often on foot. I have put my hands to every part of the work, from hauling the stone from the quarry and the logs to the sawmill.
I have gone by faith and not by sight. There have been many hours of discouragement and deep anguish of soul, but despair has never been quite despair. I have been guided at all times by an abiding faith and hope, and a consciousness of the great interests of the mountain people involved in the success or failure of the undertaking.
Throughout the work I have had the assistance of my wife, herself a native of the mountains, who has been my secretary, has assisted in the work among the women and girls, and has taught the classes in sewing and needle-work. I have also been constantly assisted by Mr. David Rickman, one of the mountain men, who has been my local manager, has been faithful in all things, and has given freely of his means and practically a year of his time and labor. The undertaking would have been impossible, however, but for the great help of my aged father and mother, who have divided their living with the school and have so kindly taken care of our little family while we have given ourselves and our all to the work.
SKETCH OF THE INDUSTRIAL SCHOOL.
LOCATION.
The school is located in the large and beautiful valley at the source _of the waters forming the Little Tennessee river, near the Rabun Gap, and near the watershed of the Blue Ridge between the Gulf and the Atlantic. It is on th~ line of the Tallulah Falls Railway, now being extended into the heart of this mountain region.
The valley is about twenty-five miles around the rim, and

A SCHOOL OF THE COVES SHOWING THE EEDS OF SCHOOL EXTE~S[QN WORK.

153
is regarded as the most beautiful in this part of the Appalachians. It contains about four hundred school children attending the new school and neighboring public schools. The school is so centrally located that the two largest public schools have been consolidated in the new building, and all of the four hundred children live within four miles of its site. It is hoped that with the aid of funds to provide school transportation all of these four hundred children can be brought to this central school. There is no school of advanced grade in all the surrounding country within a radium of thirty to forty miles.
GENERAL PLAN AND SCOPE.
The school is planned as an industrial and high school for the surrounding mountain country in which poor boys and girls can support themselves in part by their work, and as a model school for the local community. It is being operated in connection with the public school system and will be incorporated under the laws of Georgia with a board of directors of leading men and women in business and educational circles.
BUILDING AND GROUNDS.
The property at present consists of a main building erected at a cost of about $7,500, and ten acres of land in the campus. The value of the entire equipment is now about $10,000. The building contains a complete basement-story for the departments of manual and domestic training, and two upper stories in which are six recitation rooms, the assembly room, and library.
A contract has been closed on an adjacent tract of land of thirty acres for a school farm and school gardens. The building is seated on the crest of a beautiful knoll rising above the valley at its center, and this tract of thirty acres forms a plateau at the base of this elevation which affords an ideal seat for the dormitories, cottages and gardens of the school settlement.
Funds are being gathered by the Daughters of the Confed-

154
eracy of Georgia to build a large donnitory as a home for mountain girls who will do their own housekeeping and receive practical training in domestic science under the supervision of the teachers in charge.
A dormitory of a similar kind is being planned for boys who will earn a part of their expenses by their work and also dotheir own housekeeping.
Many pupils, both boys and girls, have been turned away from the school this year on account of the lack of room.
PRESENT STATUS.
Only a beginning has been made toward the kind of school' which has been planned. A group of six teachers have been found who possess the training and consecration required, and a day school was opened last October on an industrial basis. About 240 pupils have been enrolled. - These include seven grades of children and an additional grade of. older students, a number of whom are preparing themselves to teach in the puhlic schools of the county.
The usual common school and high school studies are taught in connection with training in manual, domestic and agricultural industries. Each pupil works an hour and a half each day~
Thus far departments have been organized in Agriculture and School Gardening; Carpentry and Blacksmithing; Domestic Science and Home Administration; Sewing, Needlework, and -Basketry; Mountain Settlement and Mission Work~ and School Music.
There is also a Library and Literary Circle, a Students' Prayer-meeting, a Temperance Union, and a Woman's Club which meets at the school.
EXPENSES.
The expenses are defrayed in small part by the public school fund apportioned to the community and such tuition fees and other contributions as the people are able to pay. These funds.

however, are so inadequate that the greater part of the funds required are raised by solicitation of individual contributions

a. Sixteen dollars will pay for tuition for the poorest child in the community for a session of eight (8) months, at $2 per month.
b. Fifty dollars will cover board and tuition and enable a. mountain boy or girl to live at the school eight (8) months, with what they can earn by their work.

SCHOOL EXTENSION WORK.
In January, 1905, I became County Superintendent of Schools. I found that there were in the county about two thousand school children and about thirty-five public schools. Less than three-fourths of the children were being enrolled in the schools, and less than half were in regular attendance. The school term was only ninety days in the year, and several schools were in operation only sixty or seventy days on account of the uncomfortable condition of the houses during cold weather.

156
SCHOOLHOUSES.
The average schoolhouse is a log cabin or weatherboarded shanty without ceiling, comfortabl~ heating, seating, or other modern equipment. Until the opening of the Industrial School, 1905, there was not a modern school desk in the county. Schools are taught in a number of houses which are not worth twenty dollars. The entire school equipment in 1903 was officially reported at $4,000, or about two dollars' worth of school property for each pupil, which was a high valuation.
SCHOOL CONSOLIDATION.
The county is made up of several small communities in which only one school is possible and of other larger ones in which the number of schools has been multiplied b~yond the number needed.
These larger communities are the large valleys and places where several valleys come together and form a natural school -center accessible to a large population. The roads come down the creeks to their junction with the larger creek or river, and at the junction of the roads is the country store, the post-office, the "law-ground," and the church, but, curiously enough, not always the school.
The reason is that the mountaineer wants the school as near as possible to his door and on his side of the creek. It matters not whether there are enough pupils to make a school which will pay a teacher or whether the teacher is competent to teach. There has been consolidation and centralization in everything else, but the community of interests in the school have been parceled out among the creeks, with the result of the log schoolhouse, the indifferent teacher, and the poorly-attended school.
.The importance of school consolidation in the little mountain community in which it takes all the people to build a good schoolhouse and all the children to make a good school, and in

157
which the people need to be brought together in harmonious community action, can readily be seen. The following are a few instances in which consolidation has been accomplished.

At the beginning of the work to establish the Industrial School at Rabun Gap there were in the community six public schools attended by about four hundred children. The two largest of these schools have been consolidated in the new school. The larger of the old buildings will be used temporarily as a dormitory for boys. This consolidation was made possible through the outside aid secured in building this large school.
THE OLD AND NEW AT WOL:F :FORK.
The Wolf Fork community lies at the junction of several creeks which come together from opposite directions. Here two schools have been brought together in a new school which will have about eighty pupils and two teachers, making possible a graded school. One of the old buildings and the new one appears in the cuts, showing the contrast. One of the old houses has been sold for $17, and will be removed and made into a barn. The new building cost $500. Another $100 has be~n added to purchase modern desks, and still another $100 to extend the public school term. A few years ago this community was a famous whiskey center. The consummation here presented has been brought about by a little outside aid and initiative, and the example of the people at Rabun Gap.
THE SITUATION AT TIGER.
At Tiger, in the southern part of the county, the situation was, until the beginning of this work, in a state of chaos. There were two little schools, almost in sight of each other, being taught in wretched houses; the two school constit1:1encies 'were jealous of each other, and one of them was hopelessly divided within *elf. After a series of school meetings and

158
'conferences, and with the offer of a little aid out of a building fund which I have managed to get together, the two parts of the community have come together and adopted a location for a consolidated school, have let the contract for the building, and have raised a subscription of $600 among themselves. The new school will bring together about 140 pupils and will :require three teachers.
THE REST OF THE COUNTY.
The work thus begun shows the way in which the public ~chool systm of the county is to be reconstructed and in which these struggling little schools are to be built up. There are :about twenty other places in the county in which new schoolhouses are badly needed, and at perhaps half of these, two schools should be consolidated in one. In most of the cases, however, the people are too poor to do as much as at the stronger places where the work has been started. In several places they are unable to contribute any money at all. They have, however, plenty of timber for building, and are willing to give this and cut it and haul it to the sawmill and help construct the house, if enough money can be secured to get such material as can be paid for only in cash.
NEEDS.
The needs of th~ school extension work are, first, a fund from outside sources to be used in consolidating schools and building new houses, to be given on condition that the people -do what they can. From $300 to $750 will build a schoolhouse that wi11last for a generation. With the start that has been made, if I could have at my disposal as county superintendent Dne thousand dollars a year for three years, I could in that time secure the building of a new set of schoolhouses throughDut the county.
Second, a similar fund to be used in supplementing the local funds to extend the public school term. AJil outside fund of

159
,one thousand dollars a year for three years would secure the ,extension of the school term to six months.
ENDORSEMENTS OF THE WORK.
"Professor Ritchie is a native of Rabun county who obtained a college education in Georgia and took a course at Harvard, and had a position as teacher in Baylor University. He gave up this position and prospect of advancement to return and help the people of his native county. I do not know of any instance of sacrifice and service equal to that Mr. Ritchie is rendering to his people, and I do not believe there ,can be found anywhere in the United States a local effort under hard and uncompromising conditions which would surpass what the rural mountain people of Rabun county have done for this school."-Walter B. Hill.
"The work undertaken bf Professor Ritchie is, in my judg-
ment, one of the greatest educational needs of the State.",W. J. N orthen) StK-Governor of Georgia.
AIM OF THE WORK.
These isolated mountain people are not only lacking in edu-cation but are lacking in social and economic efficiency. They are without community spirit and incentive to community action. They need not only education which will develop their latent intellect and talent, but also education which will develop their industrial and social activities. They need to learn how to live and how to work, not only to own their homes as most of them do, but to make them more comfortable and wholetlome, and to cultivate their mountain farms in a scientific and intensive way. They need to learn the value of time, to acquiresl<:i11 and efficiency, to cultivate thrift and frugality, ~nd to make the most of their resources.
Of the 210 counties in the South in which upwards of 20 per cent. of tIre white voters are unable to read and write, the greater number are found grouped together in the heart of

160
this mountain region in which the population is almost entirely white. In the area centering about the converging corners of the States of which it forms a part a map of 140 contiguous counties can be traced in which more than 90 per cent. of the voters are white, and in which more than 20 per cent. of these white voters are unable to read and write.
A PROBLEM OF NATIONAL CONCERN.
The Southern mountain region, lying in the heart of the South and comprising in one body the entire mountainous areas of the South east of the Mississippi, is the home of three and a half millions of white people. In its isolated position it has for a hundred years formed the neglected backyards of the States of which it forms a part. In the meantime it has furnished a sturdy American yeomanry which has rendered conspicuous service throughout our national history. Sam Houston, Andrew Jackson, Andrew Johnson, and Abraham Lincoln are types of the men it has produced.
This great region forms to-day a middle territory between the two sections recently divided by the Civil War. It likewise forms an intermediate territory of national integration between these two sections. These mountain people are Americans-Americans in descent and sentiment. They have always stood for the integrity of the nation. Their patriotism has always been national rather than sectional. They were foremost among the nation's founders, and have been foremost among its defenders. They form to-day the largest and l;l1oSt distinct body of original American stock on the Continent. It is from the great reserve of this virile stock which they constitute that the purest Anierican blood is to be transmitted to future generations. Shall it not be likewise that in their inherent patriotism and in their development by education are to be foUnd the best reinforcements for the solution of the jlf<;JbJel;bs which concern alike the South and thenaliorl; and for the; preservation of the highest American ideals?

A TYPICAL MOUNTAIN COUNTY.
Rabun county, the county in which this educational work is projected, lies in the heart of this illiterate mountain region. It occupies a strategic position in this great field. It is within striking distance of four States, and in the midst of a section in which the mountain ends of three of these States converge. In the region to which it is fairly central a map of no less than fifty contiguous counties can be traced in which 95 per cent.
of the voters are white, and in which 25 per cent. of the voters
are illiterate. Situated in the heart of the Blue Ridge mountains, in the extreme northeastern corner of Georgia, hedged about by mountain barriers on its southern and western borders and on the borders of the Carolinas, it has been, until the recent advent of a railroad, one of the most isolated and inaccessible counties in all the Southern mountain region. In its isolated position all the conditions have prevailed peculiar to the remote mountain community. It presents the mountain problem in all its phases-educational, social, moral, religious and economic.
THE MOUN'fAIN PEOPLE.
The people found in this mountain county are of the early Anglo-Saxon' stock which has been preserved in the isolated mountain districts of the South as the purest and most distinct remnant of original American blood on the Continent. They are the descendants through several generations of early settlers who moved southward and westward into the mountains from Southern Pennsylvania, Virginia, and the Carolinas. They are principally of English and Scotch-Irish descent, with a sprinkling of Dutch and Huguenot. Among them are the descendants of men who fought at Cowpens and King's Mountain, and at the Horseshoe and New Orleans. They are a people of heroic and unsubdued spirit, prolific, patriotic, and in point of physique and native mentality the equals of any population on the globe.

162
ECONOMIC CONDITIONS.
Though rich in undeveloped resources, Rabun is one of the poorest counties in all the mountain region. The people are uniformly of small means. There is no wealthy family or individual among them. They have no money crop, and handle little money from year to year. Their possessions are limited to their small boundaries of mountain and valley land and the few head of live-stock which they raise on their mountain pastures.
While a portion of the more well-to-do have fairly comfortable houses, the great majority live in small cabins of one or two rooms, with scant furniture, without comforts and conveniences, and without many of the common articles of civilized life. Large families are the rule, and it is quite as common as otherwise to find a family of six to ten persons living in a cabin of one room, and often under conditions that are primitive to the last degree.
WEAKNESS OF THE MOUNTAIN COMMUNITY IN COMMUNITy
ACTION.
Not only are the people poor and thinly settled, but their weakness in community action is out of proportion to their poverty and fewness in numbers. There are almost insuper-. able obstacles to be overcome in organizing them in any movement requiring concerted action. They form a society in which they live as separate units. Their environment tends toward extreme independence and individuality. They are not given to the impulse and enthusiasm of cooperation. Their attitude toward their public interests is one of aloofness and indifference. They have not learned the lesson of the bundle of sticks -that in union there is strength. The greatest obstacles of all are the feuds and schisms which deprive any concerted movement of the solidarity of its full strength. For these reasons outside aid in educational and religious work is quite as

163
necessary to get the people to do what they can themselves as for the good it will do of itself.
PRESENT EDUCATIONAL STATUS.
Rabun is one of the most illiterate counties in all the mountain region. According to the census of 1900, upwards of 20 per cent. of the white voters were unable to read and write, and more than 98 per cent. of the voters were white.
Until the opening of the Industrial School in 1905 there was no school of advanced grade in the county. The only schools have been the little public schools which run from sixty to ninety days in the year; and these have" made little intelligent headway. They are taught in most wretched houses and by teachers with little more training than these schools afford. The average child attends school about forty days in the year, and the schooling which he gets is of the poorest and most rudimentary sort.
A NEw EDUCATION NEEDED.
The old education fails to reach the mountain problem be-cause it is not adapted to mountain conditions. The goal which it sets before the mountain boy or girl is too often an escape from the work and environment of the mountain community and a change to the life of the town or city. Its practical operation is to educate the brightest material out of the ,community and to leave its social and economic life weakened and impoverished. The kind of education needed is education which shall have a larger bearing upon the life which the people are to lead. The school through which this education is to be provided must establish a practical connection between education and work. Its course of study must have to do with the industries of the environment. The mountain boy needs to be trained in agriculture, forestry, dairying and animal husbandry, and in handicrafts in wood-work and other industries for which the materials lie at hand unused. The mountain

164
girl needs to be trained in the arts of orderly housekeeping and successful home-making which shall combine with the pure mountain air and water to give these people the physical health which is their birthright.
The mountain school must also be an evangelizing spiritual and moral force. It must do the work which is Qot being done in the remote mountain district by the church and the evangelistic preacher. It must set in motion influences which will soften the mountain temper and displace the spirit of feud. It must banish the evil of whiskey and its attendant 'evils. of moral and social degradation. It must impart such a breadth and richness of social life as shall make the mountain community an attractive place in which to live.
NATURAL BASIS FOR INDUSTRIAL EDUCATION.
The natural basis for this kind of education is found in the economic condition of the people and in the industries which they must pursue.' They must earn their living with the labor of their own hands. Their wealth must come from the soil and the products of their handicrafts. They are their own carpenters, their own blacksmiths, and to a large extent their own weavers. Their household furniture, farming implements, and wearing apparel are largely home-made. Their resources and industrial environment constitute a basis of wealth which if developed by industrial education will make them less dependent than any other people upon the outside world for their living.

REPORT FROM THE UNIVERSITY OF GEORGIA.
Han. W. B. Merritt) Stale School Comntissioner) Atlanta) Ga. DEAR SIR: I have the honor to submit the following state-
ment relative to the University of Georgia for publication in your Annual Report:
I.-GENERAL STATEMENT.
The most momentous event of the year was the death of Chancellor Walter B. Hill, on the 29th of December, 1905. Urged on by his consuming zeal for the great work to which his State had called him, he had drawn so heavily on his slight vitality that during the vacation of the last year he was prevailed upon to make a trip to Europe for recuperation, and returned in November seemingly restored to health. The improvement was, however, only apparent, and he was unable to withstand the attack of the pneumonia which finally carried him off. The Dean of Franklin College was designated Acting Chancellor until the board selects a successor to the office.
The University has also lost two of its student-body by death during the year; Mr. W. S. Loyd, of Fayetteville, Ga., a member of the Senior class, was killed by a deplorable accident in the fall term, and Mr. W. C. Tuck, of Athens, also of the Senior class, died after a lingering illness in the spring term. With these exceptions, the health of the student-body has been excellent. The attendance has been the highest in the history of the institution, 408 having been enrolled.
H.-NEW BUILDINGS.
The completion and equipment of LeConte Hall has furnished the University with the most convenient and best ar-

171
ranged biological laboratory in the South. The building was opened formally at the last Commencement with an address by Dr. W. M. Howell, Dean of the Medical Departme:1t of the Johns Hopkins University.
The completion and occupancy of the Li]xary building has made it possible to complete the plans for the arrangement of the interior of the Academic building, furnishing excellent quarters for the schools of L~tin and Greek, and greatly improved administrative offices.
IlL-EXPANSION.
By the generosity of Hon. George Foster Peabody, who has shown his interest in the University in so many ways, the Agricultural Department has been enabled to move from the old farm to a tract of 399 acres, lying south of and contiguous to the new campus, which forms the most desirable farm for the purpose which could have been secured. Work has already been vigorously begun on the new tract, and plans are being made to develop it as rapidly as the means at hand will admit.
In accordance with the plans already reported, a tract of land has been purchased to the south of the present campus, and a very careful topographical map made of it and of the farm by Mr. C. W. Leavitt, of New York, who has also laid out a detailed plan for the improvement and beautifying of the entire property. Provision has been made in this plan for all the buildings which the University will probably need for a half century.
TV.-FORESTRY.
In accordance with the policy of the University to expand and improve the instruction in agriculture, and by the generosity of Mr. Peabody, a chair of Forestry has been established and has been named "The George Foster Peabody Chair of Forestry." Mr. Alfred Akerman, at present Forester of the State of Massachusetts, a graduate of this institution and of

172
Yale, has been elected to the chair and will begin his duties on July 1st. It is his intention not merely to conduct courses in this subject in the University, but also to make research in forest problems in the State, with a view of improving and conserving this most valuable part of the material resources of the State.
V.-MILITARY.
At the request of the Board of Trustees, the United States \Var Department has assigned an officer of the regular army tv duty as Commandant and Professor of Military Science and Tactics at this institution, and has furnished the department with a full modern equipment of arms and ammunition for the
work. Lieutenant J. M. Kimbrough, of the 27th U. S. In-
fantry, who was assigned to this duty, has brought to his task not only great ability, but energy and enthusiasm, and the improvement in the department has been marked. The usual annual encampment of the corps was held at Gainesville during the last week in April, and the work of the cadets won a very favorable report from the inspector; while their conduct was most highly commended by the people of the city.
VI.-HIGH SCHOOLS.
The work of correlating the Univ~rsity with the high schools, and encouraging the founding and development of high schools in the State has gone steadily forward. The announcement of the University, which is attached to your annual report, will show the working of the system, and an investigation by a committee of the faculty has shown that it is in successful operation.
VII.-UNIVERSITY SUMMER SCHOOL.
The fourth annual session of the Summer School was highly successful. The attendance was about the same as that registered in the preceding year, but it is the consensus of opinion

173
on the part of those who have watched the development of the school that the work done was superior to that of any previous
session. The Board of Directors has appointed Prof. T. J.
Woofter superintendent for the current year, and he has completed arrangements which should make this attractive to progressive teachers.
Special courses will be given to prepare teachers for the instruction in elementary agriculture required in the common schools of the State.
The conferences of the high school and college teachers, which were found to be very beneficial at the last session, will be repeated at this session.
At the end of the Announcement of the University, which forms part of your Annual Report, will be found a summary showing the attendance in all the branches of the University system.
I wish to thank you for your uniform courtesy, and especially for your aid in connection with the Summer School.
Respectfully submitted. DAVID C. BARROW, Acting Chancellor.

G. Matheson, President, Atlanta, Ga., on application.

TUITION AND FEES.
Each county in the State is entitled to six free scholarships. These scholarships will be awarded on the ground of excellence in character and preparation, and time of entrance. The amount of tuition charged to the excess of six from a <:ountyof this State is $25.00 per annual session. Residents of other States pay a tuition of $100.00 per year in addition to the fees of $20.00 and $5.00 mentioned below. Every student, of whatever place of residence, pays an annual fee of $20.00 to cove~ contingent expenses.. Half of this amount is payable on entrance and the remainder on or before the first Saturday after February 10. A contingent fee of $5.00 will be required to be deposited with the treasurer on entrance, to cover injury done to college buildings, apparatus or furniture, which sum will be returned to student on leaving if not forfeited.
12 8 (0

178
All students will be required to deposit at the beginning of the fall term-
$10.00 of the annual fee. $5.00 damage fee, unless already deposited. $I2.50 of tuition fee, if subject to tuition. And on or before the first Saturday after February IOth$10.00 of the annual fee. $I2.50 of the tuition fee, if subject to tuition. Residents of other States are subject to the above requirements, substituting $5.00 for the tuition fee per half year. Until the above requirements are complied with, no student will be allowed to participate in the duties and recitations of his class. The student is advised to defer the purchase of drawing instruments and materials until he can have the direction of the professor in their selection. Text-books and stationery can be purchased from the quartermaster. Each student is required to have two suits of overalls, costing $I.OO each.
DISCIPLINE AND DORMITORY REGULATIONS.
The students of the school have a record for good conduct unsurpassed by any corps in the country.
They are required to obey but few regulations, the authorities bearing in mind the development and best interest of the student-body.
Every man is expected to conduct himself as a gentleman. When he fails in this, and convinces the authorities that he has not come to work, his parents are requeste~ to withdraw him.
BUILDINGS.
The school occupies a beautiful site in a campus of nine acres, lying at the junction of North avenue and Cherry street,

easily accessible by street-car lines on Marietta, West Peachtree and Luckie streets. The Academic building is a splendid edifice of brick, trimmed with granite and terra-cotta, slate roof. It has one hundred and thirty feet front, is one hundred and twenty deep, and is four stories above basement story. It contains ample accommodations in halls, offices, apparatusrooms, recitation and lecture-rooms, library and chapel.
The workshops are also of brick, the main shop building being two hundred and fifty feet long by eighty wide, and two stories, with large basements. It is 'admirably designed with reference to its use, and affords ample space for the machine and wood shops and the foundry. In the basement are completeequipment of lavatories, and lockers for students' clothes. The smith-shop, boilers, and cupolas for foundry are located outside the main shop building, thus reducing to a minimum all chances of another disaster by fire. . During 1898 a new smith-shop was built. . It contains 21 forges, a vise-room, and office, and is well lighted by large windows, which extend entirely around the building.
The new Textile building was completed in 1898, and is ISO by 70 feet, with three floors for the accommodation of machinery, class-rooms, etc. It was designed by Lockwood, Greene & Co., of Boston, and fulfills every requirement of a modern cotton:'mill.
The Dormitory buildings consist of the Janie Austell Swann dormitories, containing fifty rooms for students; the Knowles Dormitory, containing thirty-six rooms for students, gymnasium, shower-baths, and dining-room, and two smaller dormitories of eight rooms each.
THE NEW BUILDINGS.
The Janie Austell Swann Dormitory cost $30,000 and accommodates 100 students. It is a handsome structure of three stories, 142 by 54 feet, and finished in pressed brick and stone,

HIO
with monumental pillars at the front entrance. It is heated by the blower system, lighted with electricity and contains ample halls, reception-rooms, etc. The building is a memorial erected by Mr. James Swann to his wife.
The new Electrical building, costing $15,000, has been completed. It is three stories in height, 90x82 feet in plan, and contains the Mechanical and Experimental Laboratory, the Electrical Laboratory, Drawing-rooms, Blue-print room and class-rooms.
A small frame structure has been built on the school property, isolated from other buildings, for the detention and treatment of students who may have contagious diseases.
THE LYMAN HALL LABORATORY OF CHEMISTRY.
The new Chemical Laboratory, the funds for which were provided jointly by friends of the school and the State Legisla ture, will be completed by the opening of the Fall Term.
The corner-stone of this building was laid, with Masonic rites, on November 25, 1905, at which time it was dedicated to the late President of this institution, and named. in his honor "The Lyman Hall Laboratory of Chemistry."
The building, which is in the shape of a T, is of brick with limestone trimmings, and is two stories in height, with a full basement.
Each floor has an approximate area of 5,600 square feet. The lecture-rooms, stock-rooms, library, offices, gas analysis laboratory, photographic and spectroscopic rooms occupy the front, and the laboratories the rear wing.
Especial care has been given to lighting and ventilation, the laboratories being lighted on three sides. For the removal of noxious gases, they are amply provided with hoods, each of which has a separate flue leading to a tight wooden fume-box located just under the roof. This box communicates with the

181
outer air, and can be provided with forced draught if necessary. Each student will be allowed at least four feet of desk space,
and will be provided with gas, water, and a separate locker. There are three lecture-rooms, the largest with a seating
capacity of about one hundred. The laboratory for Elementary Chemistry occupies the en-
tire lower floor of the rear wing, and will accommodate about 220 students. The upper floor of this wing is devoted to the qualitative and quantitative laboratories, having working space for 30 and 60 students, respectively. The remainder of this wing is occupied by a research laboratory, and a room set apart for the use of hydrogen sulphide.
Stock-rooms, provided with a freight-lift, are placed convenient to the laboratories.
The balance-room is located so as to secure light from the northeast. It is provided with double doors, to prevent access of laboratory fumes, and a pier of masonry, free of all contact with the building. Upon the latter the most delicate weighings may be carried out without interference of vibrations.
A reading-room on the second floor will contain the leading current journals and reference books relating to chemistry.
A special room will be devoted to organic combustions and gas analysis, and there will be dark-rooms for spectroscopic work and photography.
The large basement in the rear wing will allow ample room for an assay plant, and additional facilities to be added later.
CARNEGIE LIBRARY FOR THE SCHOOL OF TECHNOLOGY.
Mr. Andrew Carnegie has recently donated $20,000 for a library building, on condition that the school appropriate annually .$2,000 for the support of the library. The Board of Trustees has accepted the condition, and a model library building will grace the campus at the opening of the Fall Term.

18::!
EQUIPMENT.
The Mechanical, Electrical, Chemical, Experimental anJ Physical laboratories have been fitted up with reference to practical work, and such additions will be made from time to time as may be required for experimental research. The apparatus and appliances are of the newest and best forms, and will be increased as occasion may demand.
The workshops have been equipped with machinery and tools from the best makers, and of the latest pattern, at a cost of over twenty-five thousand dollars. In pursuance of the fundamental idea of giving the student access to the best machinery and experimental knowledge of the best methods of mechanical work, the Trustees have put the Mechanical Department on a footing with the most improved and complete shops in the country, and scarcely any process requiring fine material and accurate workmanship is beyond its capacity.
The shops of the institution have already won an enviable reputation for the quality of their iron and brass castings, perfection in gear-cutting, and the beauty and variety of their wood and other work.
The Textile building has an unsurpassed equipment of cotton manufacturing machinery, listed elsewhere.
DEGREES CONFERRED.
The degrees conferred are as follows: Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering, Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering, Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering, Bachelor of Science in Textile Engineering, Bachelor of Scjence in Mining Engineering, and Bachelor of Science in Engineering Chemistry.

183
MEDALS.
A medal is awarded annually by the New England Manufacturers' Association to the Textile graduate who shows highest excellence in his work.
A handsome gold medal is awarded annually by Mr. Walter P. Andrews, of Atlanta, for the graduate who has made the highest record in pure Mathematics.
THE A. FRENCH SCHOLARSHIPS.
Mr. Aaron French, of Pittsburg, Pa., gave three scholarships to the Georgia School of Technology, which are selfperpetuating, in that the beneficiary refunds the money after graduation in payment of small monthly notes without interest.
The conditions under which the scholarships are awarded are as follows:
I. The applicant must be at least sixteen years of age. 2. No one is eligible whose family pays taxes on more than $3,000 worth of property. (Affidavits from city and county tax-collectors to this effect are required.) 3. The scholarships are to be awarded by competitive examinations in the subjects for entrance to the Apprentice Class. (See page 202.)
SCHOLARSHIP NUMBER I.
The competitive examination for scholarship number one was held at the School in the fall of 1898, and was won by Mr. W. E. Klein, of Atlanta. He graduated in 1902, and in the fall of that year, September 24, the scholarship was won by Mr. W. C. Appleby, of Winder, Ga. Mr. Appleby will graduate in the class of 1906, and the scholarship will be awarded by competitive examination September 26, 1906.

184
SCHOLARSHIP NUMBER Z.
. The competitive examination for scholarship number two was held at the School Wednesday, September 26. 1900, under the conditions named a~ove, and was won by ~Tr. G. A. H arbour, of Atlanta. He graduated in 1904, and another competition took place September 28, in that year, and was won by Mr. G. W. Gibbs, of St. Augustine, Fla.
SCHOLARSHIP NUMBER 3.
The competitive examination for scholarship number three was held at the School September 24, 192, and was won by Mr. Arnold Wells, of Belton, Texas. Mr. Wells will graduate in the class of 1906, and the scholarship will be awarded by competitive examination September 26, 1906.
The scholarships are limited to no State or section of the country.
The winners of these scholarships will be furnished funds at such times as the President may think necessary for expenses, books, fees, etc., but not over $125.00 will be furnished each year.
No formal application for entrance into the competitive examination is necessary. The presence of the applicant at the School at 9 a.m., on the opening day of the fall term, will entitle him to admission to the examination.
THE T. W. SMITH SCHOLARSHIP.
On January 27, 1906, Mr. T. W. Smith gave a scholarship to the school, self-perpetuating on the basis of the French scholarships. This scholarship will be available at the opening of the fall session, September 26, 1906, and applicants must come from the Second and Fourth Congressional districts of the State. The successful candidate in the competitive examination will be allowed $150 per annum for a period of four years.

Note.-It is impossible to form an accurate table which will show the percentages of graduates in different branches of engineering who are pursuing the special branches in which they received diplomas. Many Mechanical graduates easily fall into the Electrical business and the reverse. However, it is seen from the above table that out of two hundred and fifty-one living graduates, there are only twenty-six who are in Qther pursuits, showing that virtually ninety per cent. of the graduates of the School are engaged in the profession of engineering. It may be said also that many of those who seem not to be in

187
the engineering business utilize constantly their knowledge of engineering in the particular business which they pursue.
The Mechanical Engineering degree was established when the School began in 1888; the degrees of Electrical and Civil ,Engineering in 1896; the degree of Textile Engineering in 1898; and the degree of Engineering Chemistry in 191; and the degree of Mining Engineering in 1906.

REPORT, STATE NORMAL SCHOOL, ATHENS, GEORGIA-SEASON 1905-6.
Hon. T,V. B'-Merritt, Stale School Cormnissioner, Atlactlta., Ga. DEAR SIR: In response to your letter of reminder, I have
the honor of submitting to you a report in brief of the year just closed.
I. STA'I'IS'I'ICS.
Students enrolled, 430; children in the practice school, 76; total 507. Faculty 26. Counties represented 94. Students holding diplomas from other schools, 12I. Students holding first-grade licenses, 47; second-grade licenses, 50; third-grade, 46. Students having experience in teaching, 167. Students who have earned the money they spend here, 167. The percentageis as follows: Farmers, 141; merchants, 34; professions, 29; manufacturers, 2; county and city officials, 13; ministers, 9; miscellaneous 9.
Graduates during the first ten years, 189; graduates the last two years, 144. Considering the growing demand on us for teachers, the school ought to graduate at leqst one hundred teachers yearly.
2. GRADUATE STUDENTS.
Graduates from other schools are now coming to us in large numbers for two additional years of professional training. Graduates from the. following schools were present in our student-body this year: Emory College, Lucy Cobb Institute, Soule College, Tennessee; Opelika (Alabama) Female Seminary, Southern Female College, LaGrange; Butler M. and F. College, Perry-Rainey College, Wren's Collegiate Institute,

189
Martin Institute, R. E. Lee Institute, Gordon Institute, Georgia Normal \and Business Institute, Piedmont Institute, McIntosh Academy, Pape & West School for Girls. Also the high schools of Atlanta, Savannah, Columbus, Hartwell, Conyers, Marietta, Athens, Hephzibah, Dublin, Winder, Waynesboro, Pelham, Adrian, Fitzgerald, Sand~rsvi1le, Chipley, Washingt?n, Covington, W~rrenton, Eatonton, Newnan, El berton, Dawson, Royston, Oakland, Dudley. Ebenezer, Walden, Griffin, Carrollton, Americus, Danville, Dalton, Lawrenceville, Rome, Gainesville, Toccoa, Tallapoosa, Monroe, Sparta, Appalachee, Madison, Commerce.
College graduates or students holding diplomas from the accredited university high schools are admitted into our classes on the basis of their credits. According to the value of their diplomas and their ability as students, they graduate from the State Normal School in one or two years.
3. VALUE OF THE SCHOOL TO THE STATE.
Since its establishment about 5,600 students have been registered at the State Normal School. Thorough investigations last year showed that they have faithfully kept their obligations; namely, to teach in the common schools of the State as long as they have been students in the school. Only the fewest exceptions were discovered. All but eleven of the graduates were doing elementary school work. In other w~rds, every dollar spent upon this school by the State multiplies the value of every dollar spent upon public education in Georgia. The State derives a direct, immediate value from her appropriations to the Normal School.
4. NEEDS OF THE SCHOOL.
The two new buildings will be ready for occupancy September 1St. They, of course, are useless until they are equipped.

190
The steam-heating problem will also have to be settled. A central heating plant is now an absolute necessity.
An infirmary and a library building are next in order. Common humanity calls for the former. The school ought never to go through another year without adequate provisions for the care of the sick. A State institution without abundant library facilities is an anomaly in America nowadays.
Respectfully submitted.
E. C. BRANSONJ Presillent.

GEORGIA NORMAL AND INDUSTRIAL COLLEGE, MILLEDGEVILLE, GA.
FIFTEENTH ANNUAL REpORT.
MILLEDGEVILLE, GA., June 16, 1906. Hon. W. B. Merritt, State School Commissioner, Atlanta, Ga.
DEAR SIR: I have the honor to present the following report of the Georgia Normal and Industrial College for the past year, the same being the fifteenth annual session of the institution.
ATTENDANCE. During the past year we have enrolled 410 students. (This does not include the younger students in the Practice School.) The attendance this year is forty-seven greater than for the previous year, and the largest in the history of the institution. Besides this, over one hundred young ladies have been refused admittance to the College because of the lack of room in the College dormitories.
COST OF ATTENDANCE. The entire cost of attendance in the institution for the full session of nine months, including living expenses in the dormitories, matriculation fee, books and stationery, is about $1 IS. This is a liberal estimate. The actual cost often falls below the amount named.
THE INDUSTRIAL DEPARTMENT. The work of the College is divided into three principal departments: I. The Collegiate Department.

192
2. The Normal Department. 3. The Industrial Department. During the past year the policies of the College have remained unchanged, except that more time and attention have been given to the Industrial work. This slight change has seemed wise, and at the annual meeting of the Board of Directors of the College it was found necessary to add an assistant teacher in the Department of Domestic Science. At the last session of the Legislature $25,000 was appropriated for an Industrial building. The building is now in course of construction, the corner-stone having been laid on June 5, 1906. When completed, in September, this building will relieve the crowded condition of the class-rooms, and with proper equipment will greatly increase the efficiency of the work of the College. The entire second floor of the building will be devoted to the Department of Household Economics (Domestic Science and Domestic Arts--eooking, household sanitation, sewing, dressmaking, millinery, etc). It is believed that the advantages offered in this department will not be surpassed in the South.
NEEDS OF THE INSTITUTION.
The College needs a new dormltory. Scores of Georgia girls are denied the opportunity of study at this College merely because there is no place for them to board. The Atkinson Hall Dormitory was erected eleven years ago, but since that time no additional provision has been made to increase the dormitory accommodations.
Respectfully yours, M. M. PARKS, President.

PURPOSE OF THE COLLEGE.
The object of the State in establishing and supporting this school is to provide for the young women of Georgia an institution in which they may get such special instruction and training as will prepare them to earn their own living by the vocation of teaching or by those industrial and fine arts that are suitable for women to pursue. Subsidiary to these two main objects the institution also teaches those branches of learning that constitute a general good education. It furthermore instructs and trains its pupils in those household arts that are essential to the complete education of every woman, whatever her calling in life may be or in whatever sphere of society she may move.
In other words, the purpose of the college is to prepare Georgia girls:
I. To do intelligent work as teachers, according to the best methods known to modern pedagogics.
2. To earn their own livelihood by the practice of some on~ or other of those industrial arts suitable for women to follow.
3. To earn their own livelihood as instructors in music or in fine arts.
4. To exert an uplifting and refining influence on family and society by means of a cultured intellect, which can only be obtained by a systematic education in the higl,ler branches of learning.
5. To be skillful and expert in those domestic arts that lie at
the foundation of all successful housekeeping and home-making.
To accomplish these several educational purposes, the courses of study pursued in the school are divided, in a general way, into the principal departments, namely:
I. The Normal Department. 2. The Collegiate Department.

195
,3. The Industrial Department. 4. The Music and Fine Arts Department.
NORMAL DEPARTMEN'l'.
General Plan.
The purpose of this department is to prepare young women -for the business of teaching. In the proper preparation of the -teacher there are three principal elements, namely:
I. Broad and accurate scholarship. 2. Professional knowledge. 3. Skill in the practice of teaching. The first of these requisites, namely, broad and accurate -scliolarship, this College undertakes to give in the course of -collegiate study as stated in detail in separate catalogue. The second requisite, namely, professional knowledge, it undertakes to give in the study of Psychology and Pedagogy, in the Junior and Senior classes, as stated in the catalogue of the -College. The third requisite, namely, skill in the practice of teaching,' it undertakes to give by a thorough course of practical training in teaching the children of the various grades in the Model :School and by instruction in methods of teaching.
Course of Study.
The course of study includes all of the studies of the Collegiate Department except that in the Junior year Chemistry is omitted and in the Senior year either Trigonometry or Latin is elected, the other omitted. In the place of these omissions a second year of Free-hand Drawing and the professional <courses as outlined below are required.
COLLEGIATE DEpARTMENT.
The object of the Collegiate Department is twofold: I. To give to those young women who wish to prepare

196
themselves for the vocation of teaching that broad, liberal and
accurate scholarship which is requisite to the education ot every
teacher. 2. To give those young women who have the time, taste and
capacity for it, that high education that develops a cultivated womanhood.
. No attempt is made to advance the standard of learning beyond what is already established in leading Southern female colleges, but in thoroughness and accuracy it is believed the work of this school is superior to anything .yet done in any higher female educational institution in Georgia.
INDUSTRIAL DEpARTMENT.
This department includes: I. The Business Course. 2. The Course in Sewing and Dressmaking. 3. The Course in Millinery. 4. The Course in Industrial Art. 5. The Course in Domestic Science. The Business Course embraces the thorough practical teaching of stenography, typewriting, bookkeeping, business forms and customs. The Course in Sewing and Dressmaking includes instruction in plain or domestic sewing, cutting and fitting, finished dressmaking, and a normal course in dressmaking. The Course in Millinery teaches the art of covering and trimming hats of all kinds for girls and women. The Industrial Art Course includes free-hand drawing, co1orstudy, design, modeling in clay, instrumental drawing, basketry, etc.
DEPARTMENT OF DOMESTIC SCIENCE.
Character a,nd Aims of the Work.
That group of subjects which bears upon the life and administration of the house is coming into great prominence in edu-

...
197
cational work, and is known variousl) as household science, household economics, science of the home and domestic science. As the last name is the one generally used in schools which teach those subjects, it is adopted here for the sake of convenience. The name is not as formidable as it sounds, and the work itself is simply an attempt to organize and formulate the best and fullest knowledge that can be obtained, both from investigation and experience, concerning the wise and economic administration of the home. It includes some knowledge of Chemistry and Physics as applied to the operations of the household, of Physiology and Hygiene with special reference to the food question, household economics, home sanitation, sewing and some instruction in home nursing and emergencies. It aims to put this systematized knowledge of easier, better and more healthful conditions of living within the reach of many women who must be home-makers, instead of leavipg it as heretofore in the hands of the few who are especially empowered for this work by reason of unusual aptitude or favorable opportunities. It does not claim to take entirely the place of experience, but it does make the gaining of that experience a much easier and happier process for all concerned. In teaching the principles underlying healthful cooking and sanitary living, domestic science is lifting home-making out of the realm of drudgery, and making it intelligent, attractive and effective.
Eqnip11tent for the Work.
The Cooking School proper, with its new and fine equipment, will be utilized to the utmost in carrying on the different lines of instruction in Domestic Science. It occupies a neat frame building, and consists of a large kitchen and diningroom, both of which are well equipped for the work they are to do.

,
198
DEPARTMENT OF MUSIC.
The Georgia Normal and Industrial College offers splendid advantages in this department of female accomplishments. Only able teachers, those well versed in the best conservatory methods, are employed, and the course of instruction and training is thorough and complete. The wants and capacities of different pupils are carefully considered, and exercises for technique and pieces for esthetic culture selected accordingly. Numerous opportunities are given for those auxiliaries, almost as essential as good instruction, namely, hearing good music, playing before audiences.
The music-rooms are of convenient size, well arranged, and are furnished with good instruments.
TERMS OF ADMISSION.
To be eligible to admission to the college a girl must be at least fifteen years old. She must be of good moral character and in sound physical health..
Persons desiring to enter the college should write to the President at Milledgeville for a form of application. This paper must be carefully filled out and signed by the applicant and mailed back to the President. Unless some reason appears to the contrary, he will in due time send to the applicant a certificate of admission to the college and assignment to a place in the dormitory. Applicants are examined for class admission after they reach Milledgeville.
COST OF ATTENDANCE.
Tuition is free to all Georgia students. The entire cost of attendance, including board, incidental fee, books and stationery, is only $110.00 for the full session of nine months.

ANNUAL REPORT OF THE PRESIDENT OF THE NORTH GEORGIA AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE.
DAHLONEGA} GA., June, 1906. Hon. W. B. }I.;ferrtt} State School Commssoner} Atlanta~ Ga.
My DEAR SIR: The year now closing has been one of the most prosperous this institution has ever known. The work of the faculty and the student-body have been eminently satisfactory. The faculty has worked in the utmost harmony, and that we have a superior class of students is shown not only by their progress, but by their general excellent deportment.
Altogether, the College is in a healthy, growing condition, and if we can procure from the Legislature funds necessary for the proper development of the plans we have in view a bright future for the institution is assured.
The College owns but" one small dormitory, and we urgently need a new dormitory building that will accommodate one hundred students. We also need here additional appropriations for the Mining and Agricultural departments. The legislative committee that r.ecently visited the institution will urge liberal appropriations for the purposes above mentioned. The Mining School started here last September is, so far as I know, the only mining school in the South, and it is certainly worth while for the Legislature to consider the importance of this new branch of our college work. There is untold wealth sleeping beneath the hills and mountains of all of this North Georgia section. This unseen wealth can never be developed and placed on the Tax Digest of the State until the young men have beep intelligently trained to do this service. Already .many thousands.of dollars have been wasted in mining in North

201

Georgia simply because there has been no intelligent or expert

supervision.

The Agricultural Department of this institution has already

become a most valuable factor in the development of the agri-

cultural interests of all of this North Georgia section. The head

of the department has organized the farmers in many places in

the adjoining counties, and these farmers are learning that by

improved methods of seed selection and a more intelligent

treatment of their soils they can with the same labor and ex-

pense tremendously increase the yield from their crops. These

farmers also visit the college from time to time to review the

interesting experiments that the students are making under

skilled supervision.

.

During the spring we held here a normal institute for the

teachers of this section. We had with us to aid in this insti-

tute Superintendent M. L. Brittain, of Fulton county; Super-

intendentG. G. Bond, of Athens; Prof. D. L. Earnest, of the
State Normal School, and Prof. T. J. Woofter, of the State

University. All of these gentlemen did most excellent service.

Many of the teachers who were here were so enthused and

helped that they expressed a determination to take a full course

for better professional work, either at the University or at, the

State Normal School.

The money for the support of this institute was generously

given from the Peabody education fund.

The military training which the young men receive here in

connection with the system of athletics adopted is of great

value in the development of the young men attending this in-
stitution. Captain E. J. Williams, of the 5th U. S. Infantry,

who is the Commandant here, is one of the most valuable offi-

cers that the institution has ever had. He has devised a plan

for training about fifty students for service in the National

Guard. He has outlined this plan in a little booklet that will

be placed before the Legislature. The matter has been pre-

202

sented to most of the officers of the National Guard of this State, and has met everywhere the most cordial approval. If the plan is adopted by the Legislature we can have fifty select young men here all the time, and in the course of years these young men will become potential factors in developing and maintaining a high type of civic and military spirit in this State.
The cost of living here to our students ranges from $100 to $150 per annum. Many of our boys work their way through college, and no young men are more respected here than the young fellows who wait on the tables in the dormitories and do other things to earn money to pay their expenses. The young man who won the highest medal that the college gives this year is a mountain boy who is paying his own way by doing service of this kind.
The following is the enrollment of the student-body for the current year:

GEORGIA STATE INDUSTRIAL SCHOOL FOR COLORED YOUTHS.

SAVANNAH) GA.) June 4, 1906:
Han. W. B. Merritt) State School Commissioner) Atlanta, Ga.
DEAR SIR: I beg to tender my fifteenth annual report. The past scholastic year has been a very gratifying success. The grade of scholarship has been greatly improved, the industrial features enlarged, and progress made in agricultural instruction. I have seen the school grow from less than a dozen students to more than the school can well accommodate. The present enrollment is a little less than in some previous years, simply because we have raised the standard of admission and have consequently been compelled to exclude some.

We have only six teachers, including the principal, in the Literary Department; the remainder are employed in the Industrial Department. During the past 156 students took the trades and 55 the agricultural pursuit. Sixty odd girls took

204
plain sewing and dressmaking. The idea of farming or agriculture has been fostered by the school not only by teaching agriculture, but by holding among the students and farmers of the neighboring counties farmers' conferences. The farmers' conferences have grown so large, interesting and important that they have attracted farmers from quite a distance. Leading farming experts from the State Experiment Station, from the Agricultural Department at Washington, and elsewhere, have given instruction to the assembled farmers, and much good has been accomplished.
The school is eminently practical in all its instruction, and has sent out about ISO graduates from all its departments, who are engaged at their trades, in farming or teaching.
The school is very much in need of increased facilities for its work, but for the amount of money at its disposal and with its limited number of teachers and sparse equipment.
R. R. WRIGHT.

205
THE UNIVERSITY SUMMER SCHOOL.
The attendance upon the Summer School was large throughout the session of 1905. The students received the class-room instructions and lectures with eagerness and appreciation, and zealously pursued their studies and investigations. The Summer School is giving advantages to the teachers of Georgia which they appreciate.
The following extracts are taken from Bulletin, 1906: "The purpose of the Summer School is primarily to extend to those who are otherwise engaged during the school year the advantages for instruction which the University can offer, to-gether with the libraries, laboratories, and other facilities of the University. Courses are planned to meet the needs of the following classes: "1. The needs of those engaged in teaching have been placed foremost in planning the school. "2. Students desiring to prepare for college by making up deficiencies to be able to meet the requirements of entrance examinations. . "3. Students in college who have conditions to work off or who desire to do more work in some special line. "4. Persons who wish to add to their general culture and attainments, but who are unable to pursue a regular college course. "The work of the school is therefore manifold. Present conditions make i\ necessary to offer rather a large number of courses in the common school branches. It is to b~ hoped, however, that the scholarship of Georgia teachers will gradually improve until in the near future there will be a far greater demand for higher courses in the University."

206

LOCATION.
"The school will be held in t~e city of Athens, from June 26 to July 27, 1906. This location is chosen because Athens is the seat of the University of Georgia, the center of the University system, and also because it is peculiarly suited to the purposes. The town lies on the rolling hills of Northeast Georgia, is high and healthy, is easy of access by the four railroads which enter here (the Seaboard, Southern, Georgia and Central of Georgia), has a delightful summer climate with cool and pleasant nights, perfectly pure water, paved streets, electric lights, street cars, local and long-distance telephones, and all the conveniences of modern life.
"The class-rooms, laboratories, libraries, dormitories, and dining-hall of the University have been placed at the disposal of the Summer School. Heretofore the school has been divided, part being at the Normal School, part at the University. This division has been the source of so much dissatisfaction on the part of students in the past that the managers have decided to hold all the sessions this year in the University, using the University dormitories, dining-hall, and rooms nearby. The school will thus be more of a unity than ever before."

CORRELATION OF EDUCATIONAL FORCES AND INTERESTS OF

GEORGIA.

"The faculty will include many of the professors of the Uni-

versity, of the State Normal Schools at Athens and Milledge-

ville, and also professors and teachers from Mercer, Emory,

Wesleyan, Cox College, Piedmont College and other institu-

tions in Georgia; also a number of City Superintendents,

County School Commissioners, High School teachers, and

other educators.



"A number of able men interested in the cause of education

will deliver lectures and addresses. There will be a number of

207
conferences, such as on High Schools, School Improvement, Country and City Problems, and others.
"A number of instructors and lecturers from other States will also be present from week to week. No pains have been spared to secure some of the finest talent in the United StatetO to inform, to inspire and to entertain.':

When pupils have been taught to read they should be taught to love literature.
Carefully selected reading will greatly increase the value of school work, and will enable the student to continue his education after leaving school.
Some publishers and dealers are advertising books for school libraries whose titles are good, but whose print is dangerously small. Our Library Committee has thrown out of their list books which contained very small type, and also books which are biased and unfair to this section.
There are many other good books which the Committee thought deserved places on the list; this list, however, seemed full enough to issue at present. Another list will probably be selected later.
Some good books are suggested in each chapter of the Manual of Methods for Georgia Teachers, and in the University Hand-Book for Accredited. High Schools (January,
195,) The teacher and school librarian should keep a careful rec-
ord of all books loaned. A good bookcase with lock and key is very essential.
The Library Committee has carefully sought to secure good books at the lowest prices. The Educational Publish-

229
ing Company, Atlanta, Ga., has been selected as the dealer to supply libraries with the books on the enclosed list at the special prices to school libraries.
In ordering books the exact title, the class, grade and special price of the book should be given. On orders amounting to ten dollars or more the freight will be prepaid by the Educational Publishing Company.
HOW TO READ.
1. Read but few books. 2. Read the best books. 3. Read the books that help you most. 4. Read the same books many times. 5. Read for ideas more than facts. 6. Take notes while reading. 7. Commit to memory striking passages. 8. Make indexed scrap-books of gems read. One hour of thoughtful reading each day will furnish food for meditation for all your leisure hours. Persist in this practice until it becomes a controlling habit. Read and study the lives of good men until you have discovered the secret of their goodness and greatness. Read and study the history of a nation until you appreciate the people, measure the leaders and are able to comprehend the reasons why it helped or hindered the world's progress. Read and study one of the classics until you make your own the ideas of the author, see the pictures he paints, understand the characters he portrays and can think out to their legitimate conclusions the ideas expressed. Verify statements in science, by observation or by experiment, if possible. Do not feel satisfied with understanding the words of the author. Master the thought, welcome the enthusiasm he inspires and follow out the ideas your reading suggests. Study and respect the opinions of other~, but in the end stand by your own conclusions-Supt. W. W. Stetson.

QUOTATIONS ABOUT BOOKS AND READING.
"Take fast hold of instruction, keep her, for she is thy life. "-Solomon.
Harriet Martineau says: "The parent's main business is to look to the quality of the books the children read, and he must see that the children have the freest access to those of the best quality."
The late Professor George E. Hardy wrote: "Worthless literature is the curse of the child's intellect and the bane of the child's morals, yet it has the market; and its widespread distribution and rapid sale are striking testimony alike to the deterioration of the popular taste, and of our defective scheme of elementary education."
"Books are the friends of the friendless." -George S. Hilliard.
"There neE.d be no loneliness in old age, no friendlessness at any time, if we knew enough to make friends of the great minds locked up in books always ready to talk to us."
"The young ought to be directed with authority to what they must read, to what they may read, to what they should postpone and to what they should avoid."
Pres. Daniel C. Gilman, Johns Hopkz'ns University.
"A taste for books is the pleasure and glory of my life. I would not exchange it f.or the glory of the Indies. "-Gibbon .
"The only true equalizers in the world are books; the only treasure-house open to all comers is a library."-Dr. LangfOrd.
"I pity the man who is too poor or too mean to buy books for his children. He might as well refuse them bread and meat. "-John C. Calhoun.

231
"My opportunities in youth for acqUlnng an education were limited, but I had the great good fortune of being well supplied with useful books, and these gave me my start in life."-Daniel Webster.
"A wise mother and good books enabled me to succeed iil life. She was very poor, but never too poor to buy books for her children. It is a mean sort of economy that starves the mind to feed the body. "-He1try Oay.
"The choice of books, like that of friends, is a serious duty. We are as responsible for what we read as for what we do. The best books elevate us into the region of disinterested thought, where personal objects fade into insignificance, and the troubles and the anxieties of the world are almost forgotten."-Sir John Lubbock.
,. But the old books, the old books, the mother loves them best; They leave no bitter taste behind to haunt the youthful breast; They bid 11S hope. they bid us fill our hearts with visions fair; They do not paralyze the will with problems of despair. And as they lift from sloth and sense to follow loftier pains, And stir the blood of indolence to bubble in the veins: I'lheritors of mighty things, who own a lineage high, We feel within us budding wings that long to reach the sky." -The Spectator.
Benjamin Franklin was once asked by a committee from a town in Massachusetts for money to help fnrnish a bell for that community. He replied by sending some books and saying that he preferred to furnish sense to sound for the community. From that little village afterwarqs came Horace Mann, who revolutionized the school system of America. He says he got his inspiration for this from the books put into that school long hefore by Benjamin Franklin.
"God be thanked for books. They are the voices of the distant and the dead and make us heirs to the spiritual life of past ages. No matter hdw poor I am, no matter though the prosperous of my own time will not enter my obscure

232
dwellin!-if Milton will cross my threshold to sing to me of Paradise, and Shakespeare open to me the worlds of imagination and the workings of the human heart, and Franklin enrich me with his practical wisdom-I shall not pine for want of intellectual companionship, and I may become a cultivated man though excluded from what is called the best society in the place where I live."-William E. Channing.
,< 0 child, 0 youth, a treasure house behold! A store more precious than the minted gold The poets from all time and from all lands Have ~iven here into your blessed hands - all the treasure vast That has been left you by the storied past." -Edith M. Thomas.
IGNORANCE OF THE BIBLE AS LITERATURE.
"A boy of seventeen should intimately know the Engl.ish Bible. He should know it as literature quite aside from its religious teaching. He should know it from having had it read to him from his earliest years, and from reading and studying it for himself. A boy who grows up without this intimate acquaintance with the great masterpiece of all literature is without something for the loss of which nothing can compensate, and which nothing can replace. It is needless to speak of the strength of the language,. the beauty of the poetry, and the interest of the narrative of this wonderful book, but necessary merely to emphasize concerning it what was said of the myths and legends-that, without knowing it well, it is impossible to really understand or appreciate the great mass of our best literature."-.H: L. Elmendorf.
"All that mankind has done, thought, gained, or been, is lying as in magic preservation in the pages of books. They are the chosen possession of men."-TILOmas Carlyle.

~33
THE LIBRARY AND THE COMMUNITY.
"I love to think of the library as a great tree, whose roots grow down into every stratum of life and into every mine. of truth; whose trunk, strong and enduring, shall stand against time; whose branches shall grow out and cover w~th their benignant shade every home in the community j and. opening upward shall be an inspiration for a higher life. Here will the old delight to come and listen to the shepherds of old, telling their tales anew under the hawthorn in the dale. Here will the husbandman come and in bucolic measures catch new meaning in his work, and go whistling over the furrowed land where peace and plenty abound. Here will the laborer come, and amid the buzz of saw and the whirr of machinery will find the dignity of labor as he converses with Palissyand Watts and Morse, who toiled while their companions slept. Here will the young and fair come, and as they Esten to the strains of some ..iEolian harp, the p~ans of the Greeb, to English battle-hymns of our own 'America,' will take courage and keep bright the fire of liberty. Let us plant this tree in every community, let us nurture it, dig about it, and prune it of all that is false and spurious. The showers of God's blessing will fall upon it ; the sunlight of his love will shine upon it, causing it to bring forth much fruit. In the rustle of its leaves will be heard the grand anthem of the ages-the good, the beautiful and
the true. "-J. S. Stewart, University of Georgia.
LITERATURE AND IDEALS.
"Literature presents the ideal of human life as it has expressed itself in the great institutions of family, church, state, and society. It clothes these ideals in the flowing robes of the

imagination and adorns them with the jewels of well-chosen words, set in rhythmic and melodious forms. To feed the mind of youth on the ideals of a noble and elevated human life; to win his fidelity to the family through sweet pictures of parental affection, and filial devotion, and pure household joys; to secure his loyalty to the state by thrilling accounts of the deeds of brave men and heroic women; to make t"ighteousness attractive by pointed fable, or pithy proverb, or striking tale of self-sacrificing fidelity to the costly right against profitable wrong; to inflame with a desire to emulate the example of patriot, martyr, and philanthropist-this is the social mission of good literature in the public schools. To interpret this literature, so that it comes home to the boys and girls, so that they see reflected in it the image of their own better selves, so that they carry with them its inspiration through all their after-lives-this is the duty and privilege of the public school. It is not of so much consequence what a boy knows when he leaves school, as what he loves. The greater part of what he knows he will speedily forget. What he loves he will feed on."-William De Wilt Hyde, President of Bowdoin College.
REPORT OF LIBRARY COMMITTEE.
MACON, MAY 11,195.
At the last meeting of County Superintendents a committee was appointed to select and recommend a list of books for the school libraries of the State. That committee, after diligent research and careful selection, wishes to submit the following list for your consideration. But before doing so they wish to make some suggestions, and state the rules by which they were guided in this selection.

235
In the first place, an effort has been made to select books suited to all the grades in the public schools.
No book has been chosen except such as have a recognized literary merit.
The books selected cover well-nigh every department of literary effort.
While your committee has not been actuated by any narrow or provincial motive, it has been deemed proper to give due prominence to Southern authorship and Southern subjects. As more books of this character are edited and published in a form suited for school libraries, they should be placed where our children can read them.
Will not some gifted pen of Southern birth and Southern sentiment write the life of Jefferson Davis, that it may be placed in our school libraries beside that of Lee and Jackson? Is there not in this life, that took conspicuous part in three bloody wars, no noble deed of courage and daring that will excite the emulation of our youth? Does not this long life, spent in public service, furnish some brilliant defense of right and truth and principle, that shall inspire our boys and girls to nobler deeds? Does not his Christian resignation and patient suffering over the defeat and dismemberment of his government challenge the admiration of the world? Believing as he did that it was "better to have fought and l0st thaR not to have fought at all," his chief reward was not in victories won, but in duty done. Perhaps no heart in all the South bled more for the Lost Cause than did that of Davis, and it is with sadness that our memories follow him to his private home, where he lived nearly a quarter of a century, with the indictment for treason hanging over his head, shut out from the rights and privileges of the government that held him under bond, a living manyr to the I..ost Cause. Let not the youth of the South grow up in ignorance of this great man, through our ingratitude and neglect.
Believing a taste for good literature and a habit for read-

236
ing one of the greatest blessings that can be acquired by any boy or girl, indeed a bul wark against vice and a tower for strength and usefulness, special pains have been taken to select books calculated to strike the childish fancy and foster this taste. Books often selected for children would better fit the taste and years of grown-up people. To this, perhaps, more than anything else is due that intellectual dyspepsia, so to speak, and literary nausea so prevalent. Books selected for children are often too heavy, too advanced, too dull. Your committee has tried to guard against this. Two things must be borne in mind: The child must be shielded from that pernicious stuff with which the country is flooded, and must be taught to love that pure, wholesome, helpful literature, which the school library should give. Nor is the work all done when the library is procured and the books placed in the hands of the childten. Much depends upon the teacherher literary taste, her zeal, her interest, her tact. The teacher who fiuds no companionship with those immortal bards whose undying songs come ringing down the ages, nor delights to walk the halls whose walls are p'ainted with fancy's daintiest imagery, can scarce be expected to lead the wavering feet of childhood there. The most sacred, the paramount, duty of the teacher is to instill into the heart of the child this love for pure and wholesome literature.
Your committee notes with regret the small number of libraries reported to the State School Commissioner, as shown by hi3 last annual report, and hails with delight the movement put on foot by benevolent persons to supply the country schools with libraries.
We urge that greater prominence be given to this department of school work in future j that blanks be furnished teachers annually, asking for reports as to whether the school is supplied with a school library, as to how many books it contains, what grades covered, what subjects embraced, how many books read by pupils and others during the term, how

237
many added to the list, as to who fills the place of librarian during vacation, the teacher acting in that capacity during the school months. This report should also state the source of supply 6f books.
In reference to supplying our country schools with libraries, we beg to recommend the co-operative plan adopted in South Carolitia, and urge that the law be so changed that a small per cent., not to exceed one per cent. of the school fund apportioned to each county, may be expended for school libraries, and that this amount be so expended on condition that communities will supplement with a like amount.
Your committee suggests that the book list be revised from year to year, with view to leaving out such books as may prove objectionable and adding others that may be thought mor,e desirable.

THE IMPORTANCE OF LIBRARIES AND HOW TO SECD RE THEM.
BY J. S. STEW ART, State Agent, University of Georgia.
I.-THE PURPOSE OF THE SCHOOL READING CIRCLE. 1. To cultivate a taste for good reading. "2. To bring children into contact with beauty and truth as found in
the best books. .3. To counteract the vicious influence of detective heroes by the posi-
tive influence of communing with real heroes of the race, thus creating higher ideals of life. -4. To awaken an interest in good reading in the home. 5. To put a library in every school-room in the State.
H.-ITS IMPORTANCE. 1. Notice the lack of reading on the part of the young. 2. Notice the dearth of school and home libraries.
.s. Notice the vast increase in sales of cheap detective stories.
4. Notice the results of the habit of reading upon the moral life, upon the tastes, upon the social life of a people. To teach a child to read and not to cultivate a taste lor good literature is dangerous.
IlL-GOOD RESULTS FROM THIS WORK. 1. Its effect upon thp, regular studies. 2. Its effect upon the interest in school work. .3. Its effect upon the character of the pupil. 4. I ts effect upon the home. -5. Its effect upon the community.
IV.-HOW TO CREATE AN INTEREST IN IT. 1. Among teachers:
a. By showing the importance and value of the work. b. By discussion in the institutes. c. By the commissioner creating a rivalry among the ~chools of
his county, as to which can make the test report. 2. Among the pupils:
a. By putting the books within their reach. b. By readinB' or telling part of the story.

253
c. By using the books in connection with school work, not as'additional tasks, but to throw added beauty and life into it.
d. By offering certificates to all who read two books of the course during the year.
3. Among patrons: a. By interesting the children. b. By having the books in the home.
V.-HOW TO SECURE THE BOOKS.
1. By taking small collections from the pupils and purchasing one or more books.
2. By encouraging individual pupils to buy books. 3. By securing subscriptions from enterprising citizens. 4. By giving entertainments at which take up a collection. 5. By trustees purchasing the books for each school. 6. By donations from the teacher.
We hope to see the day when every school will have a gooi library .. Will not the teachers make a beginning and leave behind them, if not a fine library, at lelWt a cracker-box, with a part of the list selected. therein?
