Ga. My DEAR SIR: I am this morning in receipt of your letter of the 2nd inst., tendering your resignation as State School Commissioner of Georgia, to take effect on January I, 1908. In accepting your resignation, permit me to thank you for the faithful and efficient service you have rendered the people of the State in the important office you have held for five years past. Our personal relations, also, have been most pleasant, and 1 regret that business inter6sts are to call you to other work. With my best wishes for your success in your new field of labor, I remain,
Very sincerely yours, HOKE SMITH, Governor.
Some days later, the Governor in a personal interview, tendered me and I accepted the offic6 thus made vacant, beginning service on January I, I908.

REPORT.
It, therefore, becomes my duty in compliance with the law, found in Section I, page 85, of the- Acts of the General Assembly of 1892, to submit the Thirty-sixth Annual Report of this Department, which I have the honor of transmitting through his Excellency Governor Hoke Smith. It has been a care to make this re-port fairly representative of every educational system, institution, movement, and tendency, now of special interest in the State. But in this purpose, we have had only partial success. In spite of e-very possible effort to make them accurate and complete, many of our statistics are not thoroughly trustworthy nor brought up to date. This is true, because, while the law makes it incumbent upon t~e Department to gather such information, the law has given the Department no power to compel those from whom J'nformation was sought to render it; and in very many cases it has not been given at all. In all such cases, we have had to use statistics and facts furnished in previous ye-ars to supply the deficiencies. Then, too, during the year 1907 there was a complete change in the personnel of the Department itself, not a single person being in this office now who was there a year ago; and county school commissioners have been elected in 133 counties of the State. Very many new members of boards of education, also, have been inducted into office :5ince the first of the year; so that the common schools of the State are almost wholly manned by new officers at the present time, many of whom have not at their command much information that was desirable. Therefore, I submit this report,

8
thoroughly conscIOUS of its imperfections and inaccuracies. but believing it to be as perfect as could be made under the circumstances.
SOME STATISTICAL OBSERVATIONS.
Nevertheless, I believe a careful and thoughtful study of the statistics presented will reveal a record of continuous progress and achievement along many lines. There are now. barring Chatham, Bibb, Richmond and Glynn, which adopted kcal tax systems prior to the Constitution of 1877, fifteen counties supplementing the funds received from the State by local taxes; and there are 33 I districts and 105 local systems doing t~e same thing. The amount of money raised by local taxation during the year, as reported to us, is $75,577.5; and this added to other incomes available for school purposes, raises the amount of the school fund to the magnificent sum of $3,011,768.46.
The number of new schoolhouses built during the year was 298, as against 243 for the precetling year; and the value of school properties has been raised from $5,295,97.00 to $5,822,172.00, a very creditable increase.
To offset these, there are some losses. For instance, only 954 libraries containing 120,930 volumes are reported as against 1,107 lIbraries and 131,59 volumes of the year before. The library report of this year or the preceding one is, in the face of this discrepancy, absurd. No such loss could occur in one year. Again, the total enrollment of the schools this year appears to be 59,182. The year before it was 516,268. The loss is confined wholly to negro children, the white showing an actual normal gain. In attendance there is

9
a loss vf only 2,000, which is relatively a gain at a very important point.
But the most curious and interesting, if not startling, revelation of the figures now presented is the fact that in 1906, there were 4,713 white schools with 7,095 teachers, and 2,209 negro schools with 3,457 teachers; while this year there are only 4,559 white schools with 7,002 teachers, the negro schools increasing to 2,751 and their teachers decreasing to 3,377 teachers. There were, therefore, during the year just closed. 154 less white schools in the State and 93 less teachers, but 542 more negro schools with 80 less teachers than during the pre~eding year. All told, therefore, we operated 388 more schools last year with 173 less teachers than the year before.
A natural conclusion from the above is that the number of pupils per teacher has increased, more relatively in white schools than in black, and that' the schools have declined in efficiency, therefore, in an inverse ratio. But this conclusion, while natural, is not logical. The facts above presented merely show in a somewhat impressive way the practical effects. of the McMichael law.
THE M'MICHAEL BILL.
That law requires each board of education to layoff its. county into districts of approximately sixteen square miles 111 area. Many counties are so laid off and a great number of small schools with one teacher have disappeared. or been consolidated with other small schools making larger. better, and more efficient schools with a vastly increased enrollment and with more teachers per school. This tendency is more

10
manifest in white schools. Boards of education have had greater regard, as was natural, for the white schools in laying off districts than for the colored, since it was hardly possible to accommodate equally both raC6S in any division of their counties, and have consistently made the white schools larger, while the colored have become inadv6rtently rather smaller. To my mind this means somewhat more efficient schools for the white and somewhat less for the colored people. This conclusion I reach through the general proposition that no one-room school can be a very good one. That this conclusion is true is in a rrieasure confirmed by the fact that while the total attendance for the year falls short of that of 1906 by about 6,000 pupils, the loss has been altogether in the colored schools, tho wl~ite showing an actual net gain. This can mean only that the white people are becoming more interesteel in education as the result of better facilities while 'the negroes are in a measure losing interest through stagnant -conditions.
The facts above recited direct attention to the McMichael bill. No law affecting the educational systems of the State, passed in recent years, has provoked wider discussion, created more annoyance or done more good. The discussion alluded to has arisen from the many questions of a doubtful nature springing out of its practical application; t!1e annoyance from the breaking up of old school sites, the changing of district lines, and the cqns6quent formation of new school centers; .and the good from the impulse given to the consolidation of schools and the stimulus to local taxation. The discussion and the annoyance is the price we have had to pay Or its very substantial benefits.

11
But It needs some amendment yet. The point at which it now seems most defective is in the provision it makes for the surrender by local systems of their autonomy in order to become parts of the county systems. It is very de-sirable, I think, that the county should be the favored unit of our common school system; and many towns are willing to give up their independent systems for this purpose, but they are not willing to have- the legislature abolish their rights to support local schools first and hazard an election throughout the county afterwards. In the event the election should issue adversely, such towns would become dependent upon the county board for all 6ducational facilities and would be able to tax themselves neither as a part of a county system nor alone, in spite of their willingness so to do, for better schools.
Then, too, most boards of education as now constituted are officered by men who liv6 in the rural districts and who have prescribed rules that are good for the country but are less applicable to tOwn conditions. Under these circumstances. municipalities are 6xtremely hesitant about giving over their school properties to a body of men who may not be quite sympathetic with their views about the conduct of their own schools and with their aspirations for better educational facilities. In view of these facts, it would seem wise for the legislature to provide an easier and a safer way for towns to abolish their local schools and become a part of the county system, and to permit such towns, or the boards of trustees of such towns, to kee-p a little larger measure of freedom of .action than is allowed to the trustees of the a~erage rural district. This suggestion arises from the unfortunate experi-' ence of one town, at least, that has with patriotic purposes

12
surrendered its school property to the county board and from the known hesitancy of others to incur a similar experience.
Another amendment, too, is needed. In those countieswhich have voted to tax themselv0s under this bill to supplement the State fund, a great deCJ,1 more of labor is imposed upon the county school commissioner. Yet, owing perhaps,. to oversight,. he is no whit better off in a financial way by r0ason of this progressive step, which he, perhaps, more than }ony other person, has inspired. On the contrary, his burden is greatly augmented while the old and, I might say, shameful "three-dollar-a-day" law regulates his salary. That limita~ion of the salaries of these public S0rvants ought to be made more liberal, if not stricken out altogether, particularly as it affects the commissioners of local tax counties.
. SCHOOLHOUSES.
There has been a pleasing increase in the number of school-louses built during the year. But the increase is neitl1er great enough nor rapid enough yet, particularly when we consider how some of our counties are equipped for educational work. One county reports no buildings owned by the board of education. All schools in that county are taught in what the commissioner calls "miserable shacks." Another county reports. sixty-two buildings, worth, when all is told, $r,965.00, 0r less than thirty-two dollars eacf.l. N ow, I submit that no educational growth can take place amid such conditions. It is not wonderful that neither children nor patrons take pride in\ . their schools. How can they? A good schoolhouse is a fundamental necessity; and money spent for education where-

13
tbere is not such, is generally wasted in great part. To my mind, it would be a wise thing if county boards of education were required to see that each school district which they establish has a good schoolhouse, even though all the school money of that district for a year or two were devoted to that purpose.
BALANCES.
Earlier in this report, I have stated that the amount available for the schools during the year just ended was $3,OII,678.46. Perhaps this neeq,s explanation. The amount appropriated last year was $1,786,588.33. The amount raised by local taxation and other sources during the year was $887,366.86. The convict hire, amounting to $199,659.71, was also an asset of some of the schools. The remainder, $180,14.33, represents the savings of a number of counties, perhaps fifty per cent. of them, from appropriations of previous years. From this it is not to be inferred that such counties have had too much money or more than they could use. On the contrary, they, like the rest, have not had half enough. But they have forced a disagreeable temporary condition in order to obviate a more disagreeable permanent one. Thirty or thirty-fi~e per cent. of the amount appropriated is as much as the State is ever able to pay during the first half of the fiscal year. But in most of the counties at least sixty per cent. of the school term is taught during that period. The result is, normally, that teachers must wait for at least thirty per cent. of their pay for completed work six or eight months, or until the treasury is repleted in the fall from the inflowing taxes. To meet this unfortunate condition, many boards have

14
resorted to the drastic expedi'ent of reducing salaries and thenumber of schools, and of operating the schools for the minimum time prescribed by law, for a few years, thus acquiring a balance to their credit with which they pay teachers promptly for work done during the late spring or early summer, at which time the State's resources have always tailed. This, is a very severe remedy for a very distressing condition; but it appears to be the only effective remedy-indeed, the only one of any kind. This species of kiting, of borrowing from Paul to pay ~eter, makes a 'magnificent appearance in the statistical columns; but it does not give county boards any more money with which to operate their schools; it merely provides a little ready money with which to pay teachers somewhat more promptly-in itself a most desirable re3ult.
But a great many of the counties have not done this. 1vlany have done nothing at all. The teachers of such counties have to wait for th6ir pay until the State is able to recompense them or discount the acceptances of their county school commissioners at rates rangl'ng from ten to twenty-five per cent. Other counties still, realizing the tremendous injustice to which their teachers are subjected in this way, have themselves borrowed money for this purpose at from five to nine per cent. It is estimated that in the counties alone, irrespective of the local or city systems, at least $15,000.00 per annum is consumed in interest. The average salary of a teacher last year was computed to be betw6en $29.00 and $30.00 per month, while the legal 'term was five months Putting the average salary at $30.00 per month, the yearly salary would be $15.00. At this estimation, the salaries of just one hun-
clred teachers would be eaten up III interest on money oor-

15
rowed by the counties, not to speak of that borrowed by individual teachers or by city systems. I respectfully suggest that a remedy for this state of affairs is well worth your consideration; for whether nothing is done by the counties or a balance is acquired by the process described above or mo~ey i5 borrowed, the teacher at last is the loser. She pays from her already too meager pittance for her own relief. It is unthinkable that a great and wealthy State like Georgia shaH continue indefinitely to impose so unfeelingly upon its worst paid, most helpless but most useful servants.
If some remedy is not provided and if better salaries are' not paid promptly, the effoct upon the schools will be disastrous. Already the signs are ominous. It is becoming increasingly difficult to supply the schools with proper or acceptable teachers, or even with teachers at all. Only immature and untrained boys and girls can accept places in the average common school; and they cannot afford to remain there longer. than three or four years, for in that length of time, their services will be worth more in almost Bvery other line of endeavor. Even now, here in Georgia, it is calculated that the period of service of the average teacher is but four years. This means that just when a teacher has acquired ex. perience enough to remove her sBIf-consciousness, to develop her self-confidence and to really prepare her for her profession, she finds it more profitable to engage in other work and quits teaching. We have nearly eight thousand white teachers. Assuming that the average serves four years and abandons the work and that an equal number quits Bach year, we have a deficit of nearly or quite two thousand teachers each year to supply; and we offer no adequate inducement to any compBtent man or woman to enter the profession.

16
SOURCE FROM WHICH TEACHERS ARE SUPPLIED.
This brings me to another phase of this question. Recently I had occasion to investigate the sources from which supplie~ of common' school teachers in the South are derived. In Texas, about fifty per cent, have had no other training than that given by the common schools; in Louisiana, about forty-five per cent.; in North Carolina, about fifty per cent. These three States probably make the best showing in this particular. In all the other States the number amounts from seventy-five to ninety-five per cent. 0f the whole. Now, in Georgia, we have only two white normal schools and only municipal or private high schools. Many counties have not a single high school in them; and nowhere in the commonwealth are there State-aided or State-supported high schools belonging to the common school system. The two normal schools will graduate this year less than eighty t~achers, but many under-graduates will teach, most of wh0m will be absorbed at once into the local systems. But suppose they are not, and that all of them' should become. teachers in the common schools. There would still be more than 1,500 vacant places to be supplied. The graduates of our 'colleges can not or will not take these place.s. The local systems generally use such of the graduates of their own high schools as care to teach in their own grades. Therefore, there are no normal graduates, no college graduates, and few high-sch001 graduates to fill the more than 1,500 places that become vacant annually in Georgia. These must be filled from the common schools alone. Seventy-five per cent. at least, I w0uld say, of the common school teachers of the State come from the

17
'Common schools and have no preparatIOn or training but such as the common schools give!
Gentlemen. think what this means. Our common school ,course is arranged to cover a period of seven years. If. th6refore. a child should enter school on his sixth birthday and should attend for seven consecutive years, five scholastic months each year, he would emerge from school at thirteen, if he should make a grade each term, with all the preparation l;ecessary to teach in Georgia and with as much scholarship of a bookish kind as seventy-five per cent. of our common school teachers POSS6SS! Thirty-five months of scholastic training thus transforms an absolutely unlettered child into the equal in point of scholarship of the vast majority of those whom we select to train our children for hfe and for good citizenship. Surely hero is a condition so startling as to attract your soberest consideration and to invoke for its correction all your wisdom.
HIGH SCHOOLS.
\Vhat is the remedy? \Ve have two normal schools. \Ve need at least two more. But normal schools aro expensive. The two we have, over and above the value of theil' plants, are costing this year $65.000 for maintenance; and their work justifies the expenditure. They furnish the only leaven for the whole lump. Without them our plight w,Juld be sorry, indeed. But we can not increase the number indefinitely. To do so would bankrupt the State. And yet, jf every normal school in the Southern States were in our own borders and on our own soil, their combined output in any single year \vould not supply every school in the
2 sse

18
State with trained teachers nor even equal the demands of any cne year.. We must, therefore, turn in another direction. No, person with a common school education only is prepared to' teach in the common sc11001s. Every teacher ought to have a training of at least two or three years more than the highest grade she essays to instruct. This qualification, if made a requirement of our law, would demand of our common school teachers some training in a high school. But I have already shown that there are none, except in the cities and towns,. which usually employ all their own graduates. There is no remedy then, except in the establishment throughout the State and in every county of high schools as a part of the common school system. This Georgia may well afford to do. Indeed she can not afford not to do it. She is perhaps the only civilized state in Europe or America that does not already maintain such schools as an integral and absolutely indispensable part of the common school system. I~ot to go this far is to waste much of what is spent for education-is indefensible extravagance. For this and other reasons which I shall not now detail but which are equally imperative, I .recommend the submission to the people of a constitutional amendment which shall remove every obstacle to the establishment of high schools wherever conditions justify and demand them. From high schools ought to come the common scho,)l teachers; and no one ought to teach who has not had at least the equivalent of a high-school course.
AGRICL:L'fL:RAL SCHOOLS.
Perhaps the most conspicuous advance made in educationai matters during'the year was the establishment of the Agri-


19
cultural Department of the University of Georgia on a new and broader basis and the development of eleven agricultural high schools in the several congressional districts of the State. Certainly no educational departure anywhe-re has attracted more national or international interest and attention than has this. All these institutions which are In operation, or have been during the year, have brief reports elsewhere in this volume; and all have been in operation except the schools of the Ninth, Tenth and of the Eleventh districts. The second mentioned was prevented from opening by financial difficulties, which, it is believed, will be removed in time for opening in the early fall; and the last postponed its opening- for the purpose of making more thorough preparation for that event.
The future of these schools and theIr fate depends upon your wisdom. \Ve have classical schools, technological schools, normal schools-schools of medicine, schools of law, schools of science.; but these constitute the only recognition we have ever given in an educational way to a business in which three-fourths or four-fifths of our children will engage and upon which we all without exception must depend. Of courSe), ignorant men may farm; they may support themselves in this way; they may even appear to make money. But they can do these things only at the expense of the soil. \;Ve are now easily in sight of a period when the p1:evention of soil erosion and waste will become a most vital problem~ \vhich shall appeal for solution to every intelhgent citizen. Already, as is shown by the census just completed, many school districts of counties in middle Georgia are losing large percentages of their population, for reasons which we need not go far to find. Thoughtless and wasteful methods of

20
cultivation have worn out much of the sOlI of what was once the choicest part of the State and have left the red hills sterile and gashed and .scarred. There is yet fresh land elsewhere. Hence the exodus. But ignorance will soon waste and exhaust that likewise. Then we shall be face to face with the problem that I have mentioned-the most momentous problem that any people shall have to face ever-the problem of replenishing by artificial means a wornout land whose forests have vanished in a generation or two through heedless, wasteful, w<;lnton, almost criminal destruction. To dwell upon these things is not pessimism. It is simple prudence. Our ()wn children now in school will live through harder and more artificial conditIOns than we shall witness. It is, therefore, our bounden and manifest duty to prepare them for their future, and particularly to prepare that portion of them who through manual toil and labor must make the food supplies for all the rest, so that they may perform their task \vith a minimum of discomfort and a maximum of profit and pleasure. The development of agricultural education IS not, therefore, a question that concerns the countryman and the farmer alone. It concerns every citizen of the State. Our whole civil and social structure is concerned in it; for neither the State nor society can endure any strain of misfortune which shall overwhelm our agricultural Interests. The towns can not prosper unless the country does; and, as it does, so do they. Above everything, therefore, we need a trained and intelligent rural citizenry.
But another consideration, and one more pertinent to my -office, moves me toward the same conclusion. I have long thought that if it were desired to devise a type of education

21
to dissatisfy the country child with his environment we could hardly have fallen upon a more successful form than our common schools, as they are now operated, present. Most of our teache-rs are bred in towns, live there, and go to the country merely to ply their trade. This would not matter-indeed, it would be a positive advantage-if only they knew and loved nature and were in sympathy "with its visible forms." But this is not true. Scarcely any of them know the trees, the flowers, the rocks, the birds, the beasts. the insects, or the crops, or are capable of interpreting to the country child the life myste-ries everywhere unfolding about him On the contrary, their knowledge is confined to the dull platitudes of lifeless text-books, and their illustrations are all drawn from the artificialities of town life. upon which the child's attention is imwitably fixed and by which hiS imagination is ultimately fascinated. Schools are but the lengthened shadows of their teachers. Whatever most interests the teacher will soon equally interest the pupil. If, therefore, the teacher is continually harping about the town, It will not be singulal" if the pupils should dance to the tune. Brought up under such conditions it would be wonderful indeed if children did not early in their lives determine as soon as the apron strings are relaxed and they are free, to quit the solitude and drudgery of what under such influences the.y come to regard a dull and dreary life for the m6re alluring and thrilling scenes of town and city.
The teachers are not to be blamed for this. They are mere-Iy true to their own training. They are merely passing on what has been passed to them. The truth is, few teachers in the State were ever properly trained for rural teaching.

22
No one is, who doe-s not know the country and love it, who
is not willing to live in it, who is not happy when there. This
element of training is not given by our normal schools and possibly can not be given by them. The study of a'rithmetic or of grammar, or of history or of geography WIll not supply it. Necessary as this is, it must be directe-d by men and women of deep insight into the spiritual beauty and glory of the coun~ry and who are capable of revealing their visions to those who sit at thei'r feet. The-se men and women are more likely to be trained in the agricultural schools than elsewhere; and to such schools I look for the redemption in great part of our comlTIon schools from their aimless \Vande-rings toward unseen ends. Indeed, I regard the effort to inaugurate a thorough system of agricultural education as the kindest and best thing that has been done for the- common schools since their inception. I sincerely trust, therefore, that you may find some way to support these institutions liberally, that they may help in the de-velopment of the common schools and in the education of our great rural population.
LOOSENESS OF SCHOOL LAWS.
The present year is unique in the history of the Educational Department. All the exceptional duties which de-volve upon it will demand attention, 'while none of the routine duties are remitted. During the summer or autumn, there- must be a readoption of text-books, since the previous adoption expires January 1st, next. The census enumeration, which occurs once e-very five years, was taken during the month of April; and the consolidations are now being made and returned to this office. Moreover. during the spring, one hundred and

23
thirty-three commissioners were elected and received their comm1SSlOns.
A few of these elections were contested; and these contests, together with other things, have revealed in a striking way the flimsy texture of our school laws. For instance, doubt has arisen as to such simple and elementary matters as what constitutes a legal meeting of boards of education, as whether more than four meetings a year may be held, as whether meetings may be called, as who should call them, as what constitutes an election, as whether two votes under certain conditions may not be sufficient to elect a commissioner, as how a contested election should be appealed, etc. Trivial as these questions seem, they have been raised 1n contest 01 .appeal and the department has been kept needlessly busy determining them, not according to the letter of the law, fur the [etter availed nothing, but according to reason and common sense. The law itself was neither clear nor conclusive. It was generally silent. Now, what has developed with respect to election laws is only a type of what may happen should other parts of the school law be tested. It w.ould be well, therefore, if all existing acts were submitted ~o a commission, that out of their conflicting and antagonistic elements a consistent system might be evolved. I would recommend this but for the fact that there is already pending a bill to enlarge the State Board of. Educati6n and change the character of its membership. If this bill should pass, as I trust it will, it ought to carry with it some such power as I have suggested should be delegated to a commission. In this connection, . permit me to add that the two sessions of the Georgia Educational Association, which is composed of the leading teachers

24
and superintendents of the State, the County School Commissioners' Convention, and the Conference of Business Men have recommende,cl with absolute unanimity the passage of this bill.
COUNTY COMMISSIONERS.
Another example of the looseness to which I have alluded may be found in the provisions for the examination .)f county school commissioners before their election. The law says that all applicants shall submit to an examination on questions furnished by the State School Commissioner; but it does not say what grade they shall make nor what qualifications they shall possess; but dismIsses the whole subject with the naive injunction that the examination shall be "satisfactory" to the county board of education. Now some boards, under some circumstances, are easily satisfied; and in such cases the examination IS, mildly speaking, an unmitigated farce! This is not as it should be. The office of county school commissioner is too important to be thus lightly considered or treated. Its work is too near our hearthstones for the incumbent to creep into position by fraud or other improper influences. He ought to acqUIre and hold his place throug-h competency and merit alone; and he ought ever to be measured by a high and rigid standard. It is not always true, of course: that pedagogical training alone makes a good comillissioner; neither, on the contrary, does the lack of it necessarily make a bad one. But it is true that the burden of proof is aga1l1st him who has no such training. It is so true, that it were well if only trained men could occupy this office. To insure our getting such, or at least the best possible, the right to pass

25

upon the papers submitted in examl11ation by all applicants

should vest in the State Board of Education, as it does in

some states; and such qualifications as applicants must pos-

sess should bo plainly written in the law.

Again, the county school commissioner has too varied an

assortment of duties. He is a sort of educational factotum

in his county. The duties which public opinion ascribes to him

as essential make him a cross between a bookkeeper and

a clerk. This ought not to be. He stands at the

strategic spot of the entire system. He is the "goel of the

machine." As is he, so is the system. It can not be other-

wise than as he is. It would not be difficult for many of us

to point to a commissioner who has been for years an impedI-

ment to all educational progress in his county. On the con-
trary, many of us know commissioners who are worth more

than money or normal schools in uplifting, stimulating and

inspIring their people to seek for better things. Co:nsequent1y

the commissioner should be a leader, trained in all the arts,

taught in all the sciences of the schools, studious of every

trend and tendency of oducationa1 thought, anel capable of

harmonizing and unifying the ideals of teachers serving under

111s direction. To this end, his entire time should be given to

work among his schools and with his teachers, and he should

be paid a salary that will make it worth his while to do this.

No mere clerk or bookkeeper will suffice. The times demand

educators. 'vVe do not go to blacksmiths for medicine nor

to cobblers for legal advice. It is equal folly to seek peda-

gogy from another profession. Every man to his trade-and

teachers for teachers' pla.ces!

That this ideal may be realized for our schools, it will be

26
necessary for tp.e financial business of the system to be turned over to the board, where it rightfully belongs, leaving in this particular only advisory privileges to the commissioner; and his official name should be changed to indicate the new sphere and scope of his labors. He should be a superintendent ; and his work-his only work-all his work -should be supervision.
:Now, this must not be construed as an assault upon our county' school commissioners. As a body they are a magnificent set of men, doing the work to which they are called conscientiously and well. Some of them would stand an ideal test; many of them any reasonable test; a few would fall below the latter. But this condition has not always prevailed. It may not in the near future. To prevent such a catastrophe to the schools of any county, and to insure that every county shall have at the head of Its schools a man who really knows what education is, is the motive which prompts this suggestion. I. close this subject with the declaration that, although the county school commissioner is often regarded among county officials as neIther "fish nor flesh nor fowl," his work in its permanent and enduring effects, in its far-' reaching but silent influence, is immeasurably superior to that of any other office in the county. It is simply inestimable!
CENSUS RETURNS.
I regret exceedingly that at this writing the census returns are not sufficiently complete to justify comment upon them; aild it appears probable that they will not be until after we shall have gone to press. Enough, however, is known to warrant the statement th.at in the last five years there has been

27
:a considerable shIfting of school, if not of actual, populatiol1 .and that the next apportionment of funds will be very different from that of the present year. There have been startling :losses in some counties and astonishing gains in others. This seems to be in most cases the result of no incompetency of the 'enumerators b~lt of actual migration. The completed enumer 7 .ation will be a very interesting study.

CONCLUSION.

Now, gentlemen, in conclusion permit me to say that the (observations I have offered and the suggestions made are, I ;be1ieve, not only pedagogically sound, but representative (of the wishes and opinions of nine-tenths of our thinking teachers. The educational forces of the State were never so unanimous, so united, nor so hopeful as they are at this moment. They are doing a good work and a great work under severe limitations. They are looking to you, as never before, to remove these, to give them room for expansion and growth, to prune from the common school system its dead .and useless branches and to thoroughly reshape it in many necessary particulars. . If you should not do this now, you would dissipate in a measure their interest, destroy their en-
thusiasm, and disappoint their hopes; and it is probable that so opportune a moment for the renovation of our old and
outworn educational machinery will pass away not to come again in years.
Respectfully submitted,

JERE M. POUND)

To the County School Commissioner _.__._.._ _ County.
DEAR SIR: For the year 1908 the apportionment of public
school funds for your county is $._. ._. ._. .
Please send in all itemized statements and annual report for 197
Please report to this department any new local school systems which will draw school funds through this department.
In your annual report please state the months in which your board will operate the public school term in 1908.
I congratulate the school officials and their co-workers on the progress made in educational work in 1907. I earnestly wish and believe that our State will keep abreast with the advancement of school work in this age of educational awakening, and that great progress will be made during the administration of my successor.
\Vith grateful appreciation of your courtesies and co-operation, I am
Yours very truly,
W. B. MERRITT) State School Commissioner.
(See circular letter in my report for 1906. page 40.)
ATLANTA, GA.) January IO, 1908.
Tu the Coulity CU1nmissioners:
Early in October, as you know, Hon. \V. B. Merritt, after a long period of service, honorable alike to himself and to the State, handed his resignation to the Governor. That resignation became effective January the first; and, authorized by the Governor's appointment, I have qualified as State School Commissioner and have assumed responsibility for the affairs of the office.

32
Naturally, a change of leaders always creates more or less confusion in rank and file. Until the point of view of the new incumbent is known, there can be no positive or assured action on the part of those who look to him for direction. A consideration of this fact impels me to declare to you, here at the beginning of my administration, some ,)f the things for which
r shall stand and in which r believe. r believe that the office of State School Commissioner is as
purely an administrative a place as is that of a superintendent of a system of city schools and, like the latter. should be conducted on a purely business anel professional basis, efficiently and economically, without reference to the personal or political fortunes of the incumbent, and with a view only to the welfare of the schools and the children of the State.
r believe that the county school commissioner stands at the
strategic spot of the entire eelucational system and is a central and controlling figure in all educational movements; that, therefore, he should be a man possessing all the qualities of successful leadership-frankness, courage, enthusiasm, insight. etc., and that the law should allow him, if he is not himself a trained educator, to have in his office as an assistant and adviser, some one who is, anel who can give his entire time to the supervisory function of the office.
r believe in such salaries for commissioners as will enable
them to live by their offices and give their entire time to the schools they serve-in such salaries for teachers as will not only enable them to live by their vocation but will make possible and probable constant growth in professional equipment culture, pride, and zeal.
r believe in as large and liberal appropriations for schools of
every grade and kind as a sound condition of the treasury will permit; and in a local, county or district, tax, when the State has reached the limit of its power or disposition to give for such purposes, or whether it has or not, provided local environment justifies it.

33
I believe in a thoroughly articulated system of schools from the universities and colleges all the way down through primary schools of the lowest grade; that these should Le in a real sense folk schools; that all should keep constantly in touch with the people, study their industrial, social,. moral, and intellectual needs, and contribute not alone to their culture but to their vocational and economic aspirations as well-that to these and other ends State-aided high, or se~ondary, schools in every county are absolutely fundamental and necessary.
I be1iev~ in higher qualifications for teachers, more highly qualified teachers, and better teaching.
I believe that no teacher, whatever her qualifications, can do good work if required to teach seve!! grades; that, therefore, a consolidation of schools, when possible, is not only wise but always economical; and that transportation of pupils, if planned well and efficiently managed, is usually so.
I believe in good, artistic, and hygienic school buildings; in spacious and beautiful school grounds; in well-selected libraries for all schools; and, above all, in a freer, happier, more beautiful school life.
I believe in as good schools for the country as for the town and better for both; and, in a unification and organization of every civic, social, and educational force to work for these.
Finally, I believe that every child has a right to an education, that it is every child's duty to be educated, that education should have regard to his present and probable environment, that it should consider life itself as the greatest thing in life, and that it should enable the child to live his life in the largest, happiest, most useful way.
Now, I have told you a part of my educational creed; I take up my official duties, with the sincerest purpose in the world to <lo, without reference to my own future, what I can for the development along tqese lines of the interests committed without my seeking to my care. But I must fail without your help. I
3 sse

34
want your sympathy, your suggestion, your cooperation. I shall not work over you or above you, but with you-be, as far as may be, one of you, always interested in your trials and your struggles, your successes and failures. Self-reliant as I am, no one knows better than I that I have much to learn; and, wide a3 has been my experience in school work, it has merely taught me to suspend judgment-that "circumstances alter cases," and that probably I shall not know what is best for your county and section until you ha'Ve taught me. Therefore, inform me when I am ignorant and command me when I can serve. All working in this spirit, we can not fail; and the result of our labors will ultimately be manifest in greatly improved educational facilities and conditions-my supreme desire.
Now a practical suggestion. Our teachers are isolated. They work in seclusion. There is unity neither of method nor of purpose. They need to be brought together for fellowship, conference, and discussion. The attrition of mind against mind is a condition necessary to growth. Your county i~stitute does not reach the case. It gives your point of view, or that of the expert. It does not develop that of the teacher or her initiative. Here is a force very generally wasted. I suggest, therefore, that YOH organize your teachers, if you have not done so, into a county association, independent of the institute, and patterned after the Georgia Educational Association. If this is done at once, I will see that steps are taken, at the next session of the latter, to have all such county associations recognized by it, to provide a basis of common membership, and to have the proceedings and printed matter of the State Association distributed to all who qualify themselves as members according to the plan that may be prescribed then. Please inform me if you have such an asso~iation already, giving names of officers.
The Georgia Educational Association will hold its next annual session at Augusta on April 30th-May 2d. Make your plans so that you may let your teachers go and urge them to attend. It is one of the reproaches of the profession in this

35

State that, with nearly ten thousand white teachers, scarcely two hundred ever attend the sessions of the body that has done more for the cause of education than any other agency whatsoever.
An examination of all applicants for county commissioners" places will be held on February 4th. Questions will be sent out in due time. Please notify the president of your board of this.
Final settlements of all your claims against this- department will be made about the middle of January. Therefore, have your final statements made up and in our hands as early as possible.
Until further orders, please operate your schools according to the directions given you from time to time by my predecessor. I especially urge you to be very prompt in making all your reports and returns to this office. Negligence or delay on your part may clog every effort of the department, and cause both you and us much inconvenience.
Now wishing you a most prosperous and successful year, I

am

Very truly yours,

JERE M. POUND, State School Commissioner.

ATLANTA, GA.) January 21, 1908.
To 'the President of the County Board of Education:
On ~bruary 1st, I shall mail to your address questions to be used in the examination of all applicants for the office of county school cQrnmissioner. Please get them promptly, nott~ whether the envelope enclosing them has been tampered with, and keep them safe until you open them in the presence of the applicants.
The examination will take place February 4th.

36
The law requires you, or some one appointed by you or your board, to conduct it. Please make such arrangements as will cause no confusion or delay in the examination.
I have tried to frame questions that will make this examination as practical as possible. N early all bear directly upon some requirements of the office, and most of them have a definite aim. Answers in many cases will vary greatly; but in them, nevertheless, a critical eye may discern the fitness or unfitness for this office of the person writing them. I beg, therefore, that you will study with special care the very answers that are not required to be exact and in which the applicant is apparently merely writing his views. In them you will find not scholarship, perhaps, but unmistakable evidences of his ,character and competency.
The office of county school commissioner is a very important one, so important, in fact, that it deserves and should receive more consideration than was ever given it. It should go by merit and not by favor. Its work is so close to every hearthstone that the election of one to occupy it should afford no occasion for a display of petty local, personal, or partisan politics. Every care should be exercised to get the best man in the county for this position. If you already have him in ,office, keep him, hold up his hands, and encourage him. If you have him not, find him. The best is never too good for the children. This fact Georgia is slowly awakening to and becoming insistent about; and the insistency will increase, if the issue can be affected by this department.
Very truly yoors,
JERE M. POUND, State School Commissioner.

37
ATLANTA) GA.) February 28. 190".
To the County School Commissioner:
I beg to advise you that at a recent meeting of the State' Board of Education it was determined that the census required by law should be taken during the month of April. County' boards may select such a time within that month as they shall require or as may be convenient for them. In the meantime,. this department will provide blanks for the same and forward them with instructions on or before the first of the month.
I beg also to advise you that certain of the book companies. have notified me that they are receiving- from their patrons in some counties orders for books wliich are not on the State list. Please inspect your schools rigidly and see if books are used anywhere in violahon of law.
The convention of county school commissioners will meet at Brunswick, pursuant to a decision of that body at Milledgeville last year, on March 31 and Aprilz. This date was selected by the executive committee, after due deliberation, for thereasons that at that season the weather on the coast is delightful, and that there are no courts in session in any of the coun- ties. We expect every commissioner to be interested enough .in his office and loyal enough to his association to attend, if he possibly can. Let each constitute himself a committee of one to help make this our most helpful, interesting and enthusiastic meeting. Bring members of your board with you; and district trustees, I feel sure, will not be without a welcome. Educational affairs in Georgia, are facing a promising future. Let us all help to realize it.
In this connection, permit me to direct your attention again to the fact that just one month later the Georgia Educational Association will hold its annual session at Augusta. This is a meeting of great importance and every teacher who can possibly spare the time and money should be present. Please urge yours to attend. I feel quite sure that they will gain much

38

"from such attendance and will come back to their work with.

renewed inspiration and interest. Nor will it be amiss if you

will come with them. We ought to have at least one thousand

teachers at Augusta; and we shall have a vastly larger attend-

ance than ever before 1 our educational forces can be made to

realize how helpful and uplifting such associations are to

teachers and superintendents, and how they attract the atten-

tion and develop interest of laymen in our work.
The Conference for Education i~ the South will hold its an-

nual session at Memphis, Tenn., on April 22 and 24.

Programs for all these meetings will be sent you in due time.

Give them as wide publicity as possible.

Mr. E. C. Merry, of this city, is interesting himself in the

development of a magazine which shall be an exponent of

every educational interest in the State. As projected, it is to

be a high-class publication of a more serious and catholic nature

than any similar enterprise that was {.ver attempted among us.

I am not more interested in it than any other educator should

be, but I think we all ought to be interested in whatever prom-

ises us help in our work or gives us an efficient organ for edu-

cational propaganda. Mr. Merry will doubtless write you

:about the matter. Help him in every way possible in this

Jaudable enterprise. We-need now, and we have always needed,

such an exponent as he contemplates.

Please see that your itemized statements reach this office at

:the earliest possible date after the end of each month. Thus

far the department has paid all claims for 1908. I do not know

Just how long we shall be able to continue doing so; but we

are going to carry the schools on a cash basis as nearly as we

-can during the year. We do not promise to do this but merely

to try; and promptness on your part will help us in a measure.

With best wishes for you personallv and for the success of

your schools, I am

Very truly,

JERE M. POUND, State School Commissioner.

ATLANTA} GA.} March 7, 1908.
To the County School Commissioner:
I shall send to you, if you desire, on the 16th inst., questions for the seventh grade final examinations, as has been the custom of this department. Please inform me, if possible, how many copies of the same you will need. It is hoped that the examination may be held on the 20th inst.; but if for any reason, that is impracticable, hold it on such other date as you may select, having care only that the children .have not previously seen the questions and made preparations on them. Please make returns to this department as you have been accustomed to do.
The law requires me in the discharge of the duties of this position to be frequently out of the office, which often occasions a delay in my replying to your communications. When I am in the office, it is my habit to answer every letter received on the day it comes to hand. If, therefore" you do not receive a prompt reply when you have written me, you may assume that I am out of the office and will give your communication as 'early attention as is possible. But to insure p~omptness in the transaction of mere routine business, I request that you address all letters containing itemized statements, reports, etc., or such as relate only to our bookkeeping, to the Assistant State School Commissioner, Department of Education, Atlanta, Ga.
I desire this year to make as complete an exposition, of educational conditions in the State as is possible. To this end, I request each commissioner to send me not later than May 1st, and as soon as practicable, a written statement, such as is found in the State School Commissioner's report of 1907, in which all educational growth, movement, or tendencies, shall be fully set forth. Please make as complete a showing for your county as you can, but do not let your statements exceed two thousand words. These statements, I find, are wonderfully stimulating

and are very interesting reading to all who are concerned III educational matters.
Please allow me to again call your attention to the necessity of making prompt returns to this office, of the use of the new blank forms for itemized statements, and of adding columns 8 and 10; and remember that the summary is intended to show a complete statement of your finance and accounts from the first of the year to date.
Quite a number of annual reports have not yet been forwarded to this office. The failure to do so is retarding the work of this office somewhat.
Very truly yours,
JERE M. POUND} State School Commissioner.
To the County and City Superintendents: On February 28th, I notified you by circular letter that the
State Board of Education had ordered the census of school children to be taken during the month of April, but had left to county and city boards the duty of determining on just what days during the month this work should be done. Later you were furnished with blanks. The census should be drawing to a close and should be finished by May 1St. Please, therefore, make your consolidations and forward the same to this department as promptly as possible. Send in only the consolidation on the large blank furnished. The other papers may be retained as a part of your records.
The examination of teachers for the year will occur on June 19th and 20th. The rules governing the examination will be the same as heretofore, and there will be this year no change in texts. I suggest, however, that, if possible, those preparing for the examination should read in addition to Roark's work, and Page's, Dutton's School Management-this not so much as a preparation for examination as for teaching afterward.

41
Dutton's book is a publication of the Scribners, and may l;>e had of the Southern School Book Depository of this city. I intend this year to make examination rather more of a test of professional equipment than has been the case in the past. The difference will be about such as was manifest in the recent examination of the county school commissioners.
As you have opportunity, please remind your teachers again of the approaching meeting of the Georgia Education Association in Augusta on April 30th and May 1st and 2d. If you can do so, make it possible for your teachers to attend. Their presence at this convention will be worth far more to them and to the children they teach than will be the time lost by them. Teachers constantly need suggestion, stimulus, and inspiration. This they can get best by associating with each other on such occasions as this.
Permit me to remind you of my request for a written review of educational conditions and operations in your county for publication in the Annual Report. The time for these to be in our hands was May 1St. Up to the present not half a dozen responses have been received. I am very anxious that each county should be fully reported thus. Not many people will care to go through your statistical report, but a great many will read with interest what you yourself may have to say about your county in this way.
A great many of the local systems have not yet forwarded their annual reports. Will you be k~nd enough to remind the local superintendent, if there is such in your county, to send in his report at the very earliest possible moment, if he has not already done so?
One best essay in the Southern Cottonseed Crushers' Association's contest, as selected by you, should be sent me not later than May 1st, as the contest closes on that date.
Very truly yours, etc.
JERE M. POUND, State School Commissioner.

Let the parent as well as teacher, then, enS courage every child-girl or boy-to plant, to help in 9 planting, if too young to work alone, some flower, 10 shrub, vine, or tree, to be known by his or her name. II Such offspring they will watch with pride, as every 12 month or year new beauties appear, and find a peculiar 13 pleasure in the parentage of trees, whether forest, fruit 14 or ornamental, a pleasure that never cloys, but grows 15 with their growth. Such tree-planting is a grand dis16 cipline in foresight. Mental myopia means weakness 17 and folly, while the habit of forecasting consequences IS is the condition of wisdo~. Many youth will sow only 19 where they can quickly reap. With them a meager 20 crop soon in hand outweights a golden harvest long in 2 I maturing. The tree-planter can appreciate the apo22 thegm, "To patiently work and wait, year after year, 23 for the attainment of some far-off end, shows a touch 24 of the sublime, and implies moral no less than mental 25 heroism."-B.

REVIEW OF SCHOOL WORK BY COUNTY SCHOOL COMMISSIONERS.
ApPLING COUNTy-H. J. PARKER} C. S. C.
The schools were kept in operation for four months, or eighty days. In September, 1907, the board of education opened another public term for five months, to be taught in the fall and spring of 197-08.
The enrollment and attendance were rather poor during the spring term of 1907. This was due mainly to two causes: Scarcity of farm labor and an epidemic of measles raging in the county.
There were seventeen schools that were not taught during the spring term. This was due to the fact that teachers could not be secured at a time when the children could De spared from the farm.
For the past two years we have had a one month's normal institute for the white teachers, instead of only a week. The first year only eleven teachers remained the last three weeks, while last year twenty teachers remained the entire month. Prospects are bright for the best work in the history of the institute in this county for the present year. Our teachers seem to realize the necessity of more thorough preparation for their work.
The term of 1907-08 has been most successful up to thisdate, May 1St. At this time there are only eight vacant schools in the county, as follows: One colored school, threewhite schools where there are school buildings, and four white schools where there are no buildings. The four districts in which we have no buildings are consolidated districts created under the recent Act of the Legislature.
The reports from the various schools are exceedingly encouraging as to enrollment, attendance and efficiency of work.

Two districts have voted local taxation without a dissenting vote. Three others will hold an election in the near future. Since the election of trustees by popular votes in the school districts people seem to be taking more interest, and the organization of school workers is more thorough.
The greatest need at this time is better school buildings, and they better equipped. Last year four new buildings were uuilt under the direction and by the aid of the board of education, and three were built independent of the board. The board has contracted four for this year and will let a contract in the near future for ten or twelve more. All buildings are built according to the plans and specifications of the educational campaign committee of Georgia.
BAKeR COUNTY-J. H. HALL} JR.} C. S. C. think the schools of our county are moving up. \Ve built two new school houses and repaired several old ones last year. Weare having a seven months' school this year, and I am glad to say that I am very much pleased with the work that is being done in the schools of our county this year.
BANKS COUNTy-G. G. STRANGE} C. S. C.
During the year 1907 the schools of Banks county have made commendable progress, considering the hardships we have undergone in redistricting the county in accordance with the recent school law. Before redistricting we had fortynine (49) white schools and ten (10) colored. Now we have only twenty-six (26) white and the same number of colored. Out of ten (10) of the old districts we made three districts, and in each of these districts we have erected a modern threeroom building. Our people are just beginning to see the great advantages of consolidation.

59
There was much dissatisfaction at first, but at present I Tather believe everybody is well satisfied.
During the ensuing year (1908) we are planning for some six or eight new buildings. We hope to place a new building in every district, where needed, within the next two or three years.
On account of the general tear-up in the district work and the building of the new houses, our attenclance for the year ,was not as large as it was during the years 1905-6. As our people are demanding better facilities, we are trying to supply them, feeling assured that better attendance and better results will immediately follow .
.The oratorical contest, first inaugurated in the year 1903, has taken a permanent place in oUr school work, and results in great educational and social value.
vVe confidently look forward for glorious results in the near future.
We have many reasons to be proud of the substantial efforts that are being made in a number of our districts, and I should be proud to speak of each of them, but time and space forbid.
BARTOW COUNTy-HENRY MILAM, C. S. C.
In reviewing school conditions of Bartow county for 1907, will say that I only came into office in July, so the year's work in the school room was practically finished. All we -:ould do was to plan a campaign for another year; this we did. We held several educational rallies, and found the people easy to arouse and interested in their schools. We agitated the question of local taxation for public schools, and as a result we have four local tax districts, three of which have been established under present administration, and prospects for :several more this year.

6U
We have secured a better grade of teachers for 1908 than for several years past, and we confidently expect better work in our forty-five white and fifteen colored schools of the county.
Our board of education is composed of good men, successful business men. They are progressive and interested in school affairs; they are working with and sustaining the commissioner in his work admirably.
With school officials aroused, and determined teachers interested in and considering the great opportunities offered for good by their work, a growing sentiment for better schools among the people, we have reason to expect a very successfuL school year for 1908.
To this end we shall lend all OUr energies.
BERRIEN COUN1'Y-W. G. AVERA, C. S. C.
REpORT 1'0 THE GRAND JURY, TERM 1908. In making this my first report of the school work done In' this county, I beg leave to say that during the year 1907 there were fifty-seven white schools in operation in the county, with an enrollment of 3,548 pupils and an average attendance of 2,575, or 72 per cent. of the enrollment; also twelve colored schools, with an enrollment of 725 pupils and an average of 500, or 75 per cent. of the enrollment. A great many of our county school houses are in very poor condition. The floor area is inadequate to the proper seating of the children, thus making school room discipline a hard and unsolved problem. As a rule, the desks are very poor and are not adjusted to the size of the children, especially is thistrue of the seats occupied by the primary grades, many of whose feet can not reach the floor, thus preventing a free circulation of the blood and thereby causing sickness. Another serious defect noticeable in our school buildings is broken

61
window panes. The cold air blowing through a broken win<low pane is very dangerous to the health of children. Many ,cases of pneumonia are caused by draughts of cold air. The doctor's bills arising from such improper conditions would more than remedy the defects.
Gentlemen, we owe it to the children of oUf county to see that such conditions do not continue to exist.
Many of our school buildings are poorly lighted, some hardly at all. Think of the increased strain on the' eyes of the children while trying to prepare their lessons, and think, too, of the serious results in after-years.
To give children sufficient light by which to study, there should be one square foot of window for every six square feet of floor space. These are trifles in and of themselves, I know, yet when we consider a human life and consider these factors in the welfare of that human life,they become signifi-cant problems and should receive our most careful attention.
I spent one-half a day in every school in the county in close investigation of conditions and in testing the children's knowl,edge of the text-books in the different grades, and I found not only the conditions as above outlined, but also that at least seventy-five per cent. of the children are graded too high according to their knowledge of the text-books. I found the foundation work of a common school education almost entirely neglected. These are strong assertions, but they can not be successfully disputed.
Teachers and parents are to blame for this improper grading but the most inexcusable blame lies in the county school commissioner, whose duty it is to prepare a definite outline of school work grades. Such an outline should state definitely what to teach and how much in each grade, thus making it possible to have one uniform system through the whole county.
I acknowledge my part of the blame, and am working hard in the preparation of the outline which I hope to be able to place in the hands of the teachers ere long.

62
By an Act of the Legislature, approved August 2I, I906, it was made compulsory on the board of education to layoff the county into school districts. Accordingly, the board ordered the county school commissioner to make the districts in accordance with the instruction laid down in the law.
This I qave done to the best of my ability, and am and sh~ll continue to bear patiently the criticisms which some people are making against the work, earnestly believing that in the near future every lover of true education will see and acknowledge the justice of the law and the justness of t11e work.
I find from close calculation that Berrien county contains 725 square miles. In laying off the districts I found it necessary to make two county line districts. The one contiguous to Tift county contains four and one-fifth square miles, the other adjoining Lowndes county contains seven and threefifths square miles, leaving 7I3 I-5 square miles which I divided into fifty districts, thus making an average of fourteen and one-fourth square miles to the district, which is one and three-fourths square miles less than the letter of the law requires.
Fully believing, gentlemen, that you are deeply interested in the best educational facilities possible for the children of our county, and being fully aware of your influence, both as a body and as representative citizens, I have endeavored to lay the needs of the schools of the county as clearly before you as my limited ability will permit. And by so doing I hope to enlist your hearty co-operation in the development of some plan by which school work can be made more effective. You, gentlemen, may not agree with me when I say we do not need longer term schools in our county. I know that the popular idea of the day is to lengthen the term, but I have given the subject a great deal of thought and I am fully convinced that what we need worse than we need long term schools is more efFective work done in the term we already have.

63
A child that can not master the subjects taught in the common school branches, in one thousand days, under proper conditions, would not master them though you double the term.
To secure more effective results, we must have competent teachers, and competent teachers can not be secured and held without better remuneration, and then competent teachers can not do effective work without better facilities.
We have in our county to-day some as earnest and competent teachers as ever graced a school room, but they are not giving the children what they need, because of improper conditions.
In conclusion, gentlemen, I ask you to consider carefully the points I have brought before you, and make such recommendations on them as you believe will best meet the desired improvements.
Pardon me, gentlemen, in saying to you that the trust reposed in you is a sacred one, and that your body is the most powerful factor in the moral and educational upbuilding of our county. I believe you feel the responsibility as a body, and I confidently hope that. you will not only act favorably on the suggestion offered, but that you will carry the spirit of it into the various communities in which you reside as private citizens, so that in the near future we may have educational facilities in our county second to none in the State, and our school work so systematized that children whose lot it 'is to move from one part of the county to another may find themselves at home i'n any school in the county.
This, gentlemen, is the greatest desire of my heart, and the one great end to which I shall give my whole life for the next 'four years.

BIBB COUNTY-C. B. CHAPMAN) SUPERINTENDENT.
Complying with your request, I beg to submit the following report upon conditions in the schools of Macon and Bibb county:
The schools of the city and county are operated under the management of a single board of education, and under the supervision of one superintendent. The same grade of teachers is employed in country and city schools, the course of study is the same, and a pupil may be transferred at any time without loss from anyone school in the county to another.
This- uniformity of grading is facilitated by monthly grade meetings at which the ground to be covered during the ensuing month is mapped out by the teachers of the city schools. At these meetings the teachers of the grades assemble in different rooms, the principals presiding and taking it by turns so that each keeps in touch with the work of all the grades. The secretary for each grade sends to the superintendent's office a report in detail of the work agreed upon; this report is placed on record, and is copied by country teachers who come in from time to time on Saturdays.
The same forms for reporting attendance, deportment, c1ass- standing, are used throughout the county; so that parents and children moving out from the cityur in from the country have become educated in the mechanical side of our school work, so that there results from the change neither misunderstanding nor loss of time.
Through the liberality of the board of education and the county commissioners, more than $30,000 has been spent during the past three years in the improvement of buildings, in the erection of new ones, and particularly in establishing consolidated schools. The new consolidated schools at Lizella and Bellevue are up-to-date buildings, and the appreciation of the people of these districts has been manifested by their increased interest in education resulting in a largely increased enrollment of pupils_

the same order of talent as is found in the city schools. In conclusion, I beg to express my appreciation of your

efforts and plans for the betterment of the schools of Georgia.

CAMDEN COUN/l'Y-J. O. MANGHAM, C. S. C.
Camden county has twenty-eight white schools and twenty:six colored schools. There were admitted into the schools in I907, of white children 530 and 978 colored.
Feeling that it would be better for us not to have so many 'schools an effort has been, ~I.lld is now being, made to lessen the number by consolidation. The result in that line, so far, is not very encouraging, though some progre3s has been made.
Camden is so interspersed with creeks and marshes that it seems to be almost impossible to enlarge school districts. Communities very near together are sometimes separated by marshes which make insuperable barriers to consolidation.
The board of education is composed of faithful, progressive, intelligent men, who are anxious that every child in the county shall have provided for it as good educational facilities as it is possible to furnish it. They are trying to arrange so that no child in the county shall have an excuse for a failure to secure a common SChDOl education. I do not see any reason now for any child staying out of school in the county. The facilities compare favorably 'with those of any 'County in this part of Georgia. Of the many hindrances which the board of education has to contend with, perhaps the greatest is lack of support on the part of parents or guarciians. This lack of support sometimes amounts to real opposition to any change looking to improvement. This is especially true if the proposed change costs any money. The board is trying to overcome this opposition, or improve the :schoo1 facilities in spite'of opposition. It i3 in a measure succeeding. . Some progress- is being made.
Our school houses are generally very poor, in many instances they are almost untenable. The board of education has furnished some of the houses with patent desks, thereby adding very largely to the comfort of the pupils. An effort
.'

67
is being made to get patrons to build better school houses. Vile need many things in the houses we have, especially we need maps and globes. Assistance is proffered to any community that will try to furnish these necessities.
While we have some earnest, faithful teachers, some others are inefficient. Some of them have had poor opportunities for getting a knowledge of even the text-books, and few indeed have had normal training. Constant effort is being made to overcome this want of education and training by frequent visits to the schools by the county school commissioner, and by gathering the teachers frequently in institutes, where they may exchange ideas and discuss their plans and purposes. By judicious direction of the conductor of these institutes, much interest comes to the teachers, and good is accomplished, which is shown by better work in the schools. I can see an increasing ambition in some to be better teachers.
On the whole, I think our school interests are on the hearts of the people more than formerly. I think I can see light ahead.
CLARKE COUNTY-THOS. H. DOZIER) C. S. C.
REPORT TO THE GRAND JURY.
The public schools in the rural districts of Clarke are not ~deal in all respects, and will, perhaps, never be until parents are fully. impressed with the importance of sending their children to school regularly, and to this the commissioner is giving much time and thought. There has, however, been very marked improvement along all lines since the adoption of a nine months' term, and the addition of a supplemental fund to the amount received from the State, which has authorized the county board of education to pay better salaries, . .and to pay promptly at end of each month. This has made

68
it comparatively easy to secure the best grades of teachers. and to retain them from year to year; the frequent changing of teachers being one of the most serious drawbacks to the successful operation of the rural public schools, and which is the natural result of short school terms, small salaries and payments long delayed.
At the beginning of the fall t~rm, last year, we lost five of our most capable teachers, who were elected to positions in the Athens city schools. The vacancies thus created were, . however, readily and acceptably filled; which would not have been the case if we had not been able to offer positions for nine months, with good salaries promptly paid.
The source from which our supplemental fund has been re. ceived having failed, some other plan must be devised to sup-
ply the deficiency, when the amount of this fund now on hand is exhausted, if the schools are to be kept up to their present standard.
By reference to the foregoing statistical report, it will be seen that one new school house was built last year. This is located at Oconee Heights, four miles from Athens, on the Gainesville Midland Railroad. The outlook for this school is at present very encouraging, the enrollment this term being such as to require the employment of two teachers. It is the purpose of the board to build up at this place a school similar to the one at "Winterville, and which will afford to the people on that side of the county high school advantages for their . children, who have advanced beyond lhe (Common school course, without having to incur the expense incident to sending them into the city or e1sewhere.
The management and discipline of the schools have, in the main, been good; a few cases only having arisen in which . the aid of the commissioner and the board had to be invoked. and in which drastic measures were deemed advisable in order to sustain the teachen, save the schools, and protect the pupils.

generally from the demoralizing influence of bad boys and girls.
If parents would cease to accept exaggerated statements . from their children and thereon condemn and harshly criti-
cise teachers without investigation, it would save much trouble in the schools.
The term of office of two members of the county board of education expires this month, Jas. H. Towns and Geo. H. Thurmond, and it becomes your duty, at this term of the court, to fill the vacancies by election.
These gentlemen have been prompt, efficient and thoroughly interested in the success of the public schools during their term of office.
CHARLTON COUNTy-L. E. MALLARD, C. S. C.
REPORT TO GRAND JURY.
It becomes my duty to report t~ your honorable body the condition of your school affairs and the educational work, and of the progress made during the last twelve months. Nearly all of the schools were taught. all or a part of the regular school term, and we think our people are gradually showing more interest in favor of better schools andbett6r pay for teachers. We need more funds, and to supply these funds we think local taxation for the entire county would be beneficial. Two districts in the county have voted unanimously in favor of local taxation, therefore the schools in these respective districts are well supplied with funds, and likewise blessed with a good supply of efficient teachers; wherever local taxation is existing the interest and co-operation of the public generally are manifest, therefore, good results.
Our system of education is not really faulty, but the lack of interest retards the progress of education to a certain extent.
The board of education has complied with the law in re-

70

gard to districting the county, and have called elections for the selection of trustees for each school district; a few of the districts have failed to elect trustees, but we are insisting on this being done at once.
These trustees have the control of school affairs in their . respective school districts. Quite a considerable power once belonging to the county school commissioner and board of education is now delegated to the district trustees, and their duties, when performed in conjunction with the county scho~l commissioner and county board of education, are of great importance and interest to the schools. We have insisted on good, practical education being taught in each and every school, as we believe that all learning should be made practical, so as to be of practical benefit to the pupils.
We do not claim to be perfect in OUr administration of the affairs of this office, but we are endeavoring to further the interest of education legitimately; we again say that more general interest is being shown along these lines than ever before. The improvement. of school houses and the erection of new ones is becoming to be of interest to our people and to the board, who shares in the expense of such improvements.
Now, gentlemen, the above covers in brief the general conditions of our school affairs.

Respectfully submitted.

L. E. MALLARD, C. S. C.

We approve the foregoing report, this April 8, 1908.

COW~'TA COUNTY-V. A.HAM, C. ,S. C.
Since the passage of the McMichael bill, seven districts have voted on local taxation. six carried the election for, and one against local taxation. Strange tv say, that in the district where local taxation was defeated, nearly all the people who own the land live inthe towns and cities.
The districts that are now being operated un<;ler the local tax system show an increased enrollment and attendapce. The most competent teachers are employed, and a reasonable salary is paid.
The condition of the school houses in the towns and villages is fairly good, but the rural school houses are in a bad condition. The attention of the board of education has been called to this matter by me, and an effort to enlist the interest of the people in building new school houses will shortly be made on'the part of the board of education by appropriating' a part of the public school fund to such communities as are willing to contribute as much as the board. Many communities, in this way, can be induced to build new school houses.
Many of our schools now have small libraries, and are increasing the number of volumes every year.
A plan has been adopted this year by which it is hoped our
schools may be supplied with new desks. A committee of
pupils from each school will be appointed to solicit subscriptions for their respective schools.
The teachers' monthly institute is well attended, and much interest is manifested. A regular program was printed and put in the hands of the teachers at the beginning of the year. Topics are assigned a month ahead, and the teachers come to the meeting full of enthusiasm, and with many profitable and interesting things to discuss.
The teachers' pay was raised last year, and has been advanced again this year. ,

72
Some of. our schoqls supplement the public fund by private tuition, or by local tax, which enables them to run seven or nine months. The people of several of our school districts are waiting to see the success or failure of the districts that have adopted local taxation, and expect to take steps towards the adoption of local taxation if the other districts are successful.
Judging from the success already attained by local tax districts, I do not think the other districts need to hesitate any longer.

DECATUR COUNTY-I. S. BRADWELL} C. S. C.

REPORT TO GRAND JURY} MAY TERM} 1908.

Accompanying this report to your honorable body, I submit

you a copy of the last annual report of the county sch(j()1 com-

missioner, to the State department, covering the operations

of the public schools of the county for the year 1907, the

financial accounts and vouchers of which are on file in this

office for your inspection. This report will show you that the

past year has been the most prosperous year for the white

schools in the past history of the common school system oi

the county.

The white enrollment exceeded that of the previous year

by 209.

.

The colored enrollment, however, decreased by 201.

This we account for in part by the inducement of the unu-

sual high wages paid last year for colored labor on the tobac-

co farms.

Up to this date 21 districts out of the 44 in the county

have voted for a local tax to supplement the state public school

funds, the majority of which are now operating long term

schools.

The others have not been able to extend the term longer than

-.the six months provided for by the county board of education for the reason that it was necessary to expend the most of these funds of the first year to build and equip new school houses.
In the twenty districts which levied a local tax last year there has been collected the sum of $14,985.53; of this amount the sum of $4,298.34, was collected out of the two railroad and "the telegraph and telephone companies operating lines through nine districts, Attapulgus, Bethel, Brinson, Donalsonville, Faceville, Fowltown, Iron City, Matthews and West Bain7bridge.
Quite a number of modern school houses have been built amI furnished and some old ones repaire.cl during the past year.
Owing to the generosity and wisdom of your honorable :body for the past several years in directing that the state funds due this county for the hire of convicts be devoted to the school fund and by the supplementing of this fund by local taxation, we have been able to pay better salaries and to employ a higher grade of teachers throughout the county and to -establish new schools where none were before.
It has ever been the policy of this board of education to pay -nothing on school houses or school furniture. We think, and -our experience has demonstrated the wisdom of the policy, that the employment of the best teachers is the first requisite to a successful'school system.
- Every dollar expended by the board of education for school !buildings and furniture would be taken from the salaries of the teachers. This policy has not impeded our progress in :school improvement, but on the contrary our advancement in this direction has at least kept pace with any of the counties not following a like policy.
Under instruction of the .State Board of Education, the :school census of the county was taken during the past month.
When Grady county was formed, 2,421 children of the

74

census of 1903 were taken from us leaving us a sdl.Ool popu--

lation of 6,544.

'

This year's census gives us a total school population of

7,390, an increase of. 846 over the previous census. Of these

the whites number 3,136, and the colored 4,256.

In comparing these figures with the school enrollment of

the past year, it appears that 26 per cent. of the white chil-

dren and 43 per cent. of the colored children of school age in

the county were not enrolled in a public school last year, in'

spite of the fact that the average distance from the residence

of each child in the county to a public school house is only

one and three-quarters (I %) of a mile, as shown by these-

census returns.

It is gratifying, however, to note that the statistics present-.

ed in this census show that of the total of 3, 136 white children

between the ages of six and sixteen years of age, there are'

only 82 over ten years of age who can neither read nor write.

These figures show that although much has yet to be done in

making the schools more efficient, they are accomplishing

much towards dispelling the dark cloud of illiteracy that has

so long hung over our county.

J. ECHOLS COUNTY- G. PRINE) C. S. C.
The year 1907 was not what it should have been in the advancement of education in our county, but the work done' was an improvement on past years. Our county is thinly populated and we have to divide the small amount of money we get from the State among too many schools to be able to pay a salary sufficient to induce good teachers to take our schools. Very nearly every school supplemeJ;1ted the salaryuf its teachers last year. This enabled them to get better teachers tharu before.
Our school houses are in much better shape than they were

75

'when I came into office a little over two years ago. The people seem more interested in schools this spring than at any time before. I hope to see local taxation in ~ur county by the first of January, 1909. A great many of our school patrons are beginning to realize that it will be ch~aper to have

local tax than to supplement teachers' salary privately. It is my earnest desire to work up local tax for the whole county so we will be able to pay enough to induce good men and

women to take charge of our schools. We built one new school house last year and repaired two

others. The board of education help all they can on school houses where the title to the land is vested in them. vVe now

own ten school houses, nine white and one colored.

There are fifteen whIte schools in the county. Two of these are line schools. There are five colored schools, and

one of these is it line school. Teachers were rather difficult to obtain last year. vVe only
had sixteen schools in operation during the year,twelve

white and four colored. In the sections where we had no schools we could not get a sufficient number of children to-

gether to open school. Some of the districts are mostly peopled by families who follow public work; this causes those

districts to be able to have a school one year and may be none

the next. The timber of turpentine privilege gives out in one

place and the people- move to another. There has been only one library added to our county since

last review, but I am trying to get teachers, pupils and pa-

trons awakened to the necessity of a good library in each

school.

.

Grading of school is progressing slowly on accot;nt of irregular attendance. Only a very few of the children remaIn

in school after they pass fifth grade. But I am quite sure if we had a high school in the county it would induce parents to

send their children to school, and it would make most children take more interest in scl,aol work.

1
76
My school problems during 1907 were securing better teachers than we had had before, arousing new interest in the cause of local taxation, and getting the people generally interested in school work. I could not work at all of above as I would like to have done, because I had to' devote part of my time to other causes as the commissioner's compensation will not warrant him sufficient income to devote the time to education that he should. To do effective work a commissioner should be paid a sufficient compensation so he could devote his whole time to the schools and cause of education, which is under his charge.
It is my earnest desire that the year 1908 be the most successful of any preceding year in educational work. We want the best teachers possible for the amount we are able to pay them, and the patrons of all the schools are willing to supplement the salary we pay. We want to get parents more enthused in schools and school work than they have ever been in the past, and by this means get a better attendance in all the schools of Echols county.
ELBERT COUNTY-J. N. WALL, C. S. C. The schools of Elbert county are doing a great work towards removing illiteracy, there being less than two per cent. from the last census, of our white children over ten years of age who can neither read nor write, yet their condition is far from ideal. We are suffering on account of young and inexperienced teachers as we are unable to procure the servi'ces of plenty of men and women to carryon the work as it should be done. Our county authorities take something like $8,000 or $9,000 from the fund due us by working convicts on our public roads. If this annual shrinkage was left in the treasury we could soon build good school houses wherever needed and also employ a better grade of teachers to do the work.

,7'
We have but one district under local tax, but others are considering the question in order to supplement the fund.
The enrollment is usually large but they attend irregularly and in this way progre.ss is very much retarded.
FAYETTE COUNTY-W. N. P. DIXON, C. S. C.
This county has been laid off into twenty-four school districts. Five of these have voted for local taxation, and are operating under that system. Some of these district will e.rect new buildings in the near future. Several schools have placed new desks in their houses. I have. visited all the schools each term and some I visited several times. Most .of the teachers manifest much enthusiasm in the work. We had last year thirty-one white schools in twenty-three school districts. We should have fewer schools and better. We have on6 district that insists on having three white schools and one colored school. We are trying to have people consolidate these schools as much as possible.
It is' my purpose to secure good school houses and have them supplied with good desks and other supplies.
I hope next year to begin grading the schools of the county. We are making some progress but our schools are not what we would like. Irregular attendance is the main obstacle in the way. This is caused by want of labor in the county and the farmers use the boys from twelve to eighteen years of age. We will have six long-term schools next year. Most of the school work collected during the year was very good. Much interest in the study of agriculture was manifested this year. Local taxation for school purposes is gaining favor throughout the county and this we take as being indicative of a dee-per interest in the cause of agriculture.

7~
FULTON COUNTy-M. P. BRITTAIN} SUP;RINTENDENT.
GRAND JURY PRESENTMENTS.
Some of our members had the pleasure of serving on the committee on public schools during the spring term grand jury two years ago. This gave an opportunity to notice the marked and continued improvement in our county school system.
Our committee has visited practically all of the schools in the county. There is no word of censure we could say concerning their manageme-nt and operation. The citizens in the neighborpood of each school take pride in the schools and all that concern them; there is a friendly rivalry in some of the districts for the be-tterment of the school buildings, grounds, libraries and education of the scholars. The industrial and beautifying work by the Woman's Club at the Eagan school is specially good; these ladies should be highly commended for their work. The-re are some cases where the parents do not properly appreciate the opportunities offered them for the education of their children. In one instance there- is a family of six children, all of school age, none of whom attend school because the father will not permit them. This, we- think, illustrates the need in our State of a compulsory school law.
We foimd a disposition on the part of the teachers, scholars and pare-nts to beautify the school buildings and grounds and in many instances the grounds do credit to a f10rI'st and the inside decorations to an artist. These attractions, in our opinion, in no way detract from the work of a school proper, but are rather the natural outgrowth of education.
The te-xt-books used are prescribed by the State. \;\Te are iuformed they are as good as can be had, but in addition to the regular course of study, we find a great many of the

70
"teachers instructing the scholars 111 much useful knowledgtJ -not required by the State.
The sanitary and safety conditions are uniformly good. Attention is given to proper ventilation and cleanliness, and in -all two-story buildings the fire drill is taught.
Without previous notice being given, the committee saw -a room contai'ning fifty first grade children c1ear6d in thirty -seconds, and a building containing two hundred scholars ,in one minute.
The committee attended a session of the teachers' normal class; a bright6r, more willing and more energetic set of teachers we nev'er saw, but the room in which the normal class is held is entirely too small for the -corps of teachers. At very small expense, by removing the walls, this room could be enlarged so as to furnish ample quarters for the normal class and your committee strongly recommends that our board of county commissioners make such changes as will give the proper facilities.
Special mention can well be made of' the negro schools. In some districts the negro citizens have bought the ground, furnished material, er6cted and furnished a school building, and their children, are receiving good training and a thoroughly moral education, which in the future can have but one fruit, that of ii1c1ustry, peace and happiness b6tween the races. We strongly recommend a consolidation of the New Canaan and South Bend school's. This would be of much benefit to both. In other districts where schools have boen consolidated the improvement is marked.
The grand jury is glad of an opportunity to emphasize the many favorable commendations of Professor M. L. Brittain, our superint6ndent. Too much can not be safd of his energy, faithfulness and ability. Fulton county is to be congratulated .:m having such a man at the head of our public schools; Our 'County board of education is composed of five of our most

80

prominent cItIzens who have given much time to the work

and are largely responsIble for the very fine system of schools..

GRADY COUNTy-J. B. WIGHT, C. S. C.
The year of 1907 was a fairly good Clne with the schools of Grady county, the enrollment and average attendance both showing an increase over 1906. The following are the exact figures: Enrollment in the public schools for 1906, 3,667; for 1907, 3,993. Average attendance for 1906, 2,126; for 1907, 2,367. Of the pupils enrolled for 197, 2,651 were white and 1,342 were colored. The percentage of attendance in 1906, as compared with the enrollment', was 57 per cent.; in 1907, 59 per cent. While this shows an increase, yet the average attendance is much below what it should be. It means that the average child who ent6rs the public schools of the county receives only three months of instruction; whereas, his priVIlege is to have five months. At this rate it will tako a child many years to get grounded even in the rudimentary branches of an English education. It too often occurs that a school starts off with a full attendance during the early months of the year, but as spring opens the children are put to. work and the teachers are left with a mere handful of pupils to look after.

81
One new school house was built in the county during 1907,.
and several received substantial improvements; but the condition of our average school house is still poor. Many of them are in such condition that it is impossIble for the children to keep comfortable during the winter months. This; needless exposure of our children is inexcusable. But probably. the greatest hardship that the children suffer in most ot our country schools comes from the very poor seats that are used. It is unreasonable to expect a child to do more work when he is required to sit for six hours each day on one of these benches. This hardship appears the more unreasonable when it is considered that an average expenditure for patent ~esks of $1 -75 per scholar will seat each child comfortably. If for no other reason, the economy of the physical and mental powers of our children would require that a change be made here. Few of our schools have any maps, charts, or globes, except such as are furnished by the county board of education. When our teachers are required to make "bricks without straw," the product they turn out is a very poor one. But notwithstanding the fact that conditions are as poor as they are, there are indications that we are improving.
The greatest weakness in our educational system comes from the fact that in most of our schools there is but one teacher. There are four hundred and fifty square miles in the county, and this area is divided into forty-four school districts. When the county was formed and the present board of education came into office, they found the above number of white schools in operation, and they made school districts to suit the convenience of the schools already established. Some of these houses are within two miles of each other. One teacher has to care for every grade from the lowest to the highest. It is needless to say that when this is the case, it is impossible for even the most industrious teacher
6ssc

82
t.o do justice to every pupil. Our people have been educated to think that the nearer the school house is to their homes that the better off they are. Efforts are being made to con-
vince them that it is better to send two or three miles to a
:good school than to have a poor one at their door. And I am glad to say that these efforts give promise of better conditions in the future. When two or three of these schools unite, and there are' two or three competent teachers in each 'One, from the first to the last of the term, then we may expect as good work in our country schools as is being done in the town schools. The children in one-teacher schools are not g~tting more than half of what they should for their expenditure of time. Furthermore, as a result of this system, the children in mC'.y cases are forming habits of physical idleness and mental listlessness that are wellnigh rui'nous to their future success in life.
One of our most useful educational enterprises is the County Teachers' Library, which is kept in the office of the ,county school commissioner, and contains something over two hundred well-selected volumes. This library is open to the use of every person in the county, and I am encouraging every pupil to read these books. During one month one hundred and thirty-five volumes were taken from the library, and there is good reason to beheve that the greater part of them were read to advantage. The nu~ber of these books is being increased from time to time.
During the year four school districts in the county have voted special taxation for educati'on. So far this plan has proven satisfactory.
Our teachers' institutes were held monthly during the first nve months of the year. This plan, as compared with that ,of having one solid week for the institute, works well. There is some interest on the part of the teachers and they are able to put in practice the ideas they get from month to month. A different expert is usually secured for each meet-

83
"tug, which tends still further to relieve the .monotony incident to a week's institute with only one expert. These experts are secured from neighboring towns within a radius of fifty to one hundred miles. We usually have to do nothing more than pay the traveling expenses0f the expert.
As a whole we are progressing educationally.

HARRIS COUNTy-To L. THOMASON) C. S. C.

DEAR
review o

SIR: In compliance with your f educational conditions for the

request for year 1907,

aIwbreigtt

en to

submit the following:

I think school conditions in Harris county are gradually

improving. Parents are taking more interest in educational

problems than ever before. Three school districts have re-

cently voted local taxation and cItizens of other districts are seeking information in regard to the working of th~ local

school law and I believe that a majority of the school districts

of the county, if not all of them, will vote local taxation at

an early date. The demand for good teachers is on the in-

crease and I consider this fact the highest evid~nce that the

people are being aroused and are thinking to some purpo,se.

I am trying to impress both teachers and patrons that the

most important thing is to so teach and train the children

that they may become good and useful citizens-for this is

our greatest need. This can not be accomplished without high

moral training. We can not hope to accomplish this unless

we teach by example as well as by precept. I am trying to

.arouse the people to the importance of cooperation, because

no teacher by her own efforts can build the ideal schoul.

The attendance during the annual institute was greater

than at any time in the past. The teachers manifested con-

siderable interest and much good was accomplished.

The grand juries continue to recommend that the school

fund be applied to education, which enables us to pay better salaries and to run the schools longer. It wou~d be quite a calamity if the fund was applied to any other cause; in fact I do not see how we could successfully operate the schools without it. Better school buildings well furnished and surrounded by attractive grounds are much n~eded. I am working to bring these thIngs to pass and hope to be successful in the near future.
HEARD COUNTY-H. H. COOK, C. S. C.
In review of the school work of Heard county for 1907, I fe61 assured in stating that under our present system and management they have made fine progress. In the first place, we pay our white teachers according to grade, which has a tend6ncy to stimulate them for more and better prepa~ation and for better work in the school room and for better grades. There seems to be more interest taken in 6ducation by our people generally throughout the county and they are advocating and looking forward to longer t6rm schools, better qualified teachers and more comfortable school buildings. Our county has in the last year or so built some very substantial school houses, but there is need for more and we hope to see them erected as soon as possIble.
I believe if we could get our county under the banner of local taxation it would readily solve the problem of better schools, better teachers, and longer terms, but our people seem siow to act. vVe have only one district in the county under local taxation, and while there is some opposition to it, yet it is giving satisfaction.
'liVe have only a few schools in' the county supplementing the public term with private pay. As a whole our county schools are doing fairly well, yet we intend to strive for their ccntinued betterment in the future.

HENRY COUNTy-LAWRENCE DUFFEY, C. S. C.
In submitting a brief review of school work and school conclltions in Henry county, I desire to say that we have endeavored first of all to adopt a system that -would bring the best results to the children.
A short while ago our school buildings were poor indeed, scarcely a building in the rural districts was in any condition whatever for any kind of school work. We have consolidated 2. number of these old-time school neighborhoods and have buildings with two, three, and four rooms, costing from eight hundred to three thousand dollars. In some of these districts, say Union Graded and Pleasant Grove, we have built good substantial teachers' houses near the school buildings. This is a great advantage for the reason that often we can have teachers who are married and with families to locate at these IJlaces for several years, and to become identified with the people and build up school conditions. In my judgment this. is one of the best plans to cause good teachers to go out in r'lral districts, as it tends to make them satisfied and contented.
In some of our consolidated districts we have adopted the wagon system and are transporting a number of children to s~hool. We are having good results from this investment as we are able to grade our schools, which is so much needed. The little one-teacher school with all the multitudinous duties of the one teacher is a thing of the past in our county.
Our county is laid off into school' districts under the amended McMichael bill. We have endeavoured to comply with that law in full. Trustees are elected incompliance with same and the trustees as a rule are looking after the affairs
of their districts enthusiastically and with energy. They are
a great help to the school officials, in the matter of classing teachers, keeping house and grounds in good condition 'and aid teachers in successfully carrying on the work. We have

1
86
tnree taxing districts and others contemplating voting taxation. We notice among other things that the attendance in school in these districts is much higher than in other districts.
Our grand juries have invariably voted the felony convict fund to the school board for school purposes. This is no inconsiderable sum and it is substantial aid to us in fost6ring the work.
Our school term is six months, beginning with N ovemb~r and closing in April, making a continuous term, which is preferable to any term which would include the summer months. Our salaries, $50 per month for first grade t6achers, $40 for second grade, $35 for third grade (white.) Owing to increased appropriations for 1909, we hope to raise these figure for we be1i6ve that to have efficient teachers they must be paid in accordance with their ability.
In our report to the grand jury, April term, 1908, we estimate value of school buildings which have been erect6d in our ~ounty in the past three years, at $64,400. These buildings are not confined to the towns or villages, but are. scattered over our county. All of our buildings are equipped with patent seats, while some have good working libraries to which, through the efforts of our teach6rs, additions are being made constantly.
Our school board and teachers are doing all they can to build up school conditions. Our grand juries are aiding and encouraging. Our people are wide awake and becoming aggr6ssive and progressive and altogether the outlook in Henry county is encouraging and bright.
We hope in the future to report more and better conditions as we grow.
MURRAY COUNTY-W-. D. GREGORY, C. S. C.
We began the 1907-8 school term on November 11th last. and a number of the schools have already closed the full term.

87
though many schools will hold a summer sessi'on during July and August.
Taken as a whole, our schools are in a prosperous condition. More interest is taken by the general public -than heretofore. A few school buildings have been erected and others repaired recently. Out of a total scholastic population of twenty-five hundred we have enrolled two thousand twa. hundred and fifty. However, our real or average attendance' was only 1,250, showing a total loss by the pupils of our county who entered school of 100,000, days. We have forty white teachers, most of whom are young ladies, and many of whom are really interested. in the work and thus are accomplishing much good. Our great difficulty in at all times securing efficient teachers is from the fact that we can not pay the salaries that the best grade of teachers demand.
We pay teachers holding first grade license who average 30, salary of $38.
We pay teachers holding first grade license who average 25, salary of $36.
We pay teachers holding first grade license who average
\
20, salary of $34' We pay teachers holding first grade license who average
15, salary of $30. Second and third grade teachers are paid $5 less per grade. We have four long-term central schools in which high
school branches are taught, as follows: Lucy Hill Institute-Three teachers; enrollment, 125. Sumach-Two teachers; enrollment, 90. Chatsworth-Two teachers; enrollment, 100. Eton-Five teachers; enrollment, 215. The principals of thes~ schools are all first grade and first
class teachers and we pay them each forty dollars per month, which is supplemented by private tuition. The assistants are paid, $36 per month.

88
These central schools are our mainstay and they are all doing a splendi'd work, being well supported by the public. N early all of our young teachers come from these schools and as a rule we find them very well trained in theory and methods necessary to good school work. Two other such central schools are contemplated for the near future-at Ramhurst, on the L. & N. Railroad, and at Gregory, near the State line.
We have twenty-four school districts in the county but as yet no local taxation has been adopted. Elections will probably be held in two districts this year.
Considering all the surroundings, the outlook and prospects for an advanced movement are very good.
MADISON COUNTy-G. A. GRIFFITH, C. S. C.
The statistics have been taken from the records of the office as I found them, my term not beginning until April, 1908.
Then~ are forty-two white teachers in Madison county. Of these, twenty-six hold first grade and State license, nine second grade and seven third grade. All colored teachers hold third grade licenses. The school census of 1903 shows that there were 4,495 children of school age in the county; 4,321 were enrolled during 197, the per cent. of enrollment being ninety-six. The average attendance was 2,331, being fifty-four per cent. of enrollment.
Twenty of the whi'te school houses belong to the board of education of the county; ten do not. The board owns one colored school house.
Two new school houses have been built and two are in process of erection. Some additions have been made to old buildings. Our patrons are becoming somewhat enthused over better school houses.
The board of education has agreed to buy land for school

89
sites and furnish {he rough material for building new houses and repairing old ones. They require an unconditional deed to be made to the board in all instances where they aid in the erection or repairing of houses. .
Our county has been districted according to the McMichael law, but the board of education feels that they may better conditions by changing a few lines; which will be done during the present year.
One district I wish to call especial attention tb is Progress. In that district were two schools, viz.: Moon's Grove and Union Church. The board, over the dissension of fifty per cent. of the patrons, consolidated the two, erected a threeroom building, completed and painted same and employed three teachers, two of whom are normal trained, and instructed them to grade the school. The result is that where they had two one-horse schools they now have one first class graded school and the people are beginning to appreciate the school. The board is planning to build more such schools during the present year.
One district only has voted local tax. I feel that a majority of our people favor local taxation, but we will have to get our people more enlightened on the subject before we can have it in the entire county.
The board of education has increased the salaries of teachers from $S to $10 per month over 1907 and extended the public term from five months to six months. Out board is getting on the idea of paying teachers according to efficiency. We feel that in order to keep brain and talent in the school work we must pay them for their labor.
Some progress has been made on the line of educati'on and J feel that a brighter day still is' dawning upon our county.
Yours very truly

NEWTON COUNTY.
TRANSPORTATION OF PUPILS.
By PROF. H. H. 'STONE) PRES. Bn. En.
Coming still nearer home, let us take some examples of consolidation and transportation from the schools of !Newton county, Georgia.
In 1903 tht} board of education of this (Newton) county deci'ded to consolidate three small schools in Brewers district into a single school. The territory served by these schooI3 was a long,. narrow one between two rivers and the schools were almost in a line. At first the patrons in the ent.ire territory favored the idea of consolidating the schools, but when the new school was located some of the patrons of the two lower schools, disappointed that the mi'ddle school building was not selected as the site for the consolidated school, refused to have any connection with the new school and opened a. private school in the middle school building.
Those patrons who believed in consolidation went ahead and with some financial help from the county board of education purchased four acres of ground and erected on it a neat" substantial frame school house having four rooms, each twenty by thirty feet, with two vestibules, each eight by twenty feet. Each class room is well ventilated and lighted by six large windows and is well heated in winter by a stove. The windows are so arranged that the light comes in from the side and rear of the room. There is space for some thirty linear feet of blackboard in each room. The rooms are ceiled on the side and overhead with matched plank. At the end of the school session the entire building can be converted into a temporary auditorium of forty by sixty feet, by removing the blackboards and planks from the partitions to a height of nine or ten feet. Four teachers were placed in this school and as the territory to be served was a large one it was decided

91

to employ four wagons in transporting the pupils. The board

had no experience in this work, but after carefully con.ider--

ing the matter, it was decided to furnish only the covered

wagon bodies, requiring the contractors to furnish the rolling

stock as well as the mules, harness and driver.

These wagon bodies were thirteen feet long, made to fit on

the bed of an ordinary two-horse wagon and were provided

with springs and brakes. Two seats running almost the

. length of the body provided accommodations for twi:mty-six

pupils. A short seat across the front would .accommodate the

driver "md one or two additional pupils. The covering em-

ployed was twelve-ounce ducking. There were side and end

curtains for bad weather and adjustable steps at the rear.

This equipment cost the board of education about twenty-five

dollars.

.

One section of the territory did not seem to offer a suf-

ficient number of pupils for a two-horse wagon, so a body ten

ftret long, capable of carrying twelve pupils, was provided to

fit the bed of a one-horse wagon.

The contracts were let, the board of education furnishing

the bodies before described, the. contractors furnishing rolling

stock, driver, mules and harness at from $25 to $30 per school

month for two-horse wagons and for $17.50 per school month

for one-horse wagons. The wagons made their round each

morning oh schedule, reaching the school some ten minutes

before opening time. Again in the afternoon they are at the

school building when school is dismissed and the children are

soon delivered, without accident or delay, at their homes if

they live on the route or at the poi'nt nearest their homes if

they live back from the route.

It was found impractitable, without great cost, to take up

each pupil at his own door and return him to the same each

day. In the handling of the pupils the board made use of

the plan used for the distribution of mail Dn the rural free:

delivery routes. In this the government requires those who

1
92
live off the road traversed by the mail carrier, to put his mail box on the road if he wishes the carrier to deliver his mail; so the board of education had to require those living off the road traveled by the school wagon to walk out to that road and board the wagon at the point nearest his home.
A comparison of the Mixon School two years after consolidation with the three schools which had been merged into it, at a time two years before that consolidation might be of interest.
In 1902 the enrollment at Pleasant Grove was 47, and the average attendance was 48 per cent. of enrollment, at a cost to the public fund of six cents per pupil per day; at Stewart the enrollment was 70, with an average attendance of 4J per cent. of enrollment, at a cost of six and two-thirds cents per pupil per day: at Alcova the enrol1ment was 54, with an average attendance of 44 per cent. of enrollment, at a cost of eight and three-tenths cents per pupil per day.
In 1906 the enrollment at Mixon School was 184, with an average attendance of 66 7/10 per cent. of enrollment, at a -east of six and two thirds cents per pupil per day. Th.is last figure includes the cost of transportation.
The attendance at the three single schools had been sufficient to warrant an assistant teacher at but one of them, and that for only twenty-seven days of the free term, the schools not being able to keep up an attendance which would allow them to continue but ninety-one, one hundred and one, and one hundred and three days respectively-the board of education having a rule that when a school fails to make a certain attendance average it is discontinued as a public school for the balance of the free term. On account of the poor attendance jeopardizing the pri'ncipal's salary under a rule of the board of education, which scaled the salary when the attendance fell below a certain standard, it was more or less difficult to secure principals having first grade license for these three individual eschools. In 1902 one principal held second grade license and

9"u
the only assistant a third grade license. In 1903 two of the principals held second grade license and one principal a third grade license; there was no assistant teacher that year.
In 1906 at the Mixon School there were four teachers, each holding first grade license and beIng college trained-two at Peabody Normal School, Nashville, and two at Wesleyan. The attendance was such as to warrant one assistant the entire free term of one hundred and thirty days, a second assistant for eighty days and a third assistant for seventy-five days-the number of assistant teachers being determined by attendance of pupils accordIng to a fixed rule of the board of education. In addition to this the patrons were so enthusiastic over the school that they ran an additional term of forty days, in which they met all expense of salaries and transportation and at which the average attendance was 104.2.
At the same time a private school of some fifty scholars was being taught a mile and a third from Mixon School.
As to the work done by this consolidated school, let us hear a little testimony from some of its patrons.
Mr. A. C. Heard, a farmer and one of the foremost citizet}s of Newton county, who lives near the consolidated (Mixon) school and who had been a patron of Alcova school before conso1idativn, writes under date of September 28, 197:
"You asked me for my opinion as to the work done by Mixon School as compared to that of the schools whose place it took. I think the first four terms (two years) of Mixon School was worth more to the children than ten years of the Alcova, Pleasant Grove and Stewart Schools all Dut together. As to relative progress of pupils, there is no companson. The children learned more thefirst four terms at Mixon than they had ever learned in all their lives before. 'Whi1e we have had schools more or less ever since the war, we have had nothing io compare with Mixon; In fact it is about the only school we have had wort~ anything in Brewer's district in many years. As to the practical working of hauling the children to school

1
94
:all over the county, I am unable to say, but I can say that it has worked well in our di'strict. The children seem to enjoy it and are always ready and anxious to go. It makes the attendance better. It has worked well with us, but I think the teachers deserve great credit for the work they did in building up the Mixon School."
Mr. R. F. Dick one of the best men in his section of Newton county, a patron of Mixon School and a frequent visitor to the school says:
"I consider the consolidated school much better than the old plan. I feel safe to say that my children advanced five times as fast while Professor Whitworth taught for us as they did in our schools before. What we want and what we need is good teachers and good transportation, regardless of cost."
Rev. A. C. Mixon, a teacher in our county schools for very many years, who has the respect and confidence of every man who knows him, and who lives near the consolidated school, says:
"I think the people generally prefer the consolidated schools. It gives prestige to the pupils. Children and parents take pride in numbers. I am highly pleased with hauling the children. It protects them from the inclemency of the weather, muddy roads and other dangers. By this means some little fellows can attend school who otherwise could not. The attendance of alI is more regular."
Similar testimony is on file from Messrs. J. A. Bohannon,
W. H. I vey, and A. Wilson, men of the highest standing in their neighborhood, who are patrons of the consolidated (Mixon) school, and who strongly endorse both the consolidation and transportation plans.
Mixon School is eleven miles from Covington, the county site, and eight miles from the nearest railroad station or town.
Another example of consolidation, but without transportation, may be found in Downs district, Newton county, ten

95
-miles from Covington. There two weak schools, Bethany and Prospect, were ~onsolidated at a central location. The patrons, with some help from the board of education, have built a commodious school house, with four rooms, 36 feet by 20 feet, 24 feet by 24 feet, 12 feet by 20 feet, and 12 feet by 20 feet, respectively, with two cloak rooms and two verandas. Everyone in that neighborhood took an interest in the school, and a large enrollment came promptly. In 1906 the enrollment at this school was 142, with an average attendance for 120 days of 62.6 per cent. of enrollment. The patrons, by voluntary subscriptions, added thirty days to the school term. There were three first grade teachers here all the while. The .cost of the school was five and nine-tenths cents per day per ,pupil. The exhibitions given by this school, as those given by Mixon school, would have done credit to any city school.
As to the work done by this school-Livingston High
School by name-we will hear the testimony of J. C. GibsQn,
M.D., a man respected and honored throughout West Newton, a trustee and patron of the 'school, who lives near it and is familiar with its work:
"I will say that our school is far ahead of any we ever had before Bethany and Prospect schools were consolidated. I think at least 75 per cent. better. The attendance is a great deal better, and the progress made by the pupils is far ahead of anything we ever had before. I think there is no doubt that the consolidation of two or more schools, where it can be done, is the thing to do."
Mr. E. C. Hull, a prominent farmer, lives near a one-teacher school, but sends his children, at his own expense, some distance to the Livingston school, because he recognizes a good thing when he sees it. He writes under date of September 30, 197:
"I will say I think the present school at Livingston is at least 100 per cent. better than the little one-horse schools we

96
did have. I am glad I have the privilege of sending my children to a graded school. Th& idea of hauling children to school, I think, is the thing to do where the distance is too far to walk; prqvided, you pay a salary to authorize a man todrive the wagon. I don't think it can be managed by the' school children."
A form of consolidation, wlithout trat$portation, which: might under certain conditions prove successful, but which has never been tried, so far as the knowledge of the writer goes, is to locate the seven-grade scho0ls of the county not less than six miles apart. Each of these schools to have a principal, with one, two or three assistants, according to average attendance. This would give an average walking distance of one and a half miles for the pupils, if the country population was evenly distributed-some, of course, having to walk three miles.
In this arrangement the distance to be walked by the little folks of the chart, first, second and third (reader) grades might in very many cases prove so great as to practically exclude them from the schools until they become large enough to walk the necessary distance, thus causing them to lose two or three years from their school life. To meet this difficulty, a one-teacher school, in which no pupil is allowed under any circumstances higher than third grade, might be located half way between each of the seven-grade schools. This would reduce the average distance for these little folk to walk to three-quarters of a mile; none of them having to walk more than a mile and a half. Each of these schools could be considered as section B of the primary department of some designated seven-grade school, and be under the supervision and care of the principal of that school.
The transportation of scholars in the United States has taken various forms. In somli cases an allowance was made to the head of the family, say five cents per day per pupil, and

97
he was 'to provide transportation. Under these conditions many of the children have developed wonderful qualities as pedestrians. In some cases, where horses we)re plentiful, stables were built on the school grounds to shelter the animals ridden or driven by the school children.
In some communities the electric cars have been used, the school authorities furnishing tickets to the' children through the teachers.
In some cases conveyance was furnished only in winter or stormy weather-in some cases only over route to school, the pupils walking home after dismission, unless weather conciitions made traveling bad.
In some cases the entire transportation outfit has been owned by the school authorities. Sometimes a farm has been rented near the school upon which the horses have been worked during school hours by the drivers of the conveyances.
In one case, in Newton county, Georgia, the driver owned his team and lived near the school house on his farm. He arranged to spetld the night, with his team, at the end of his route so as to save the additional trip morning and afternoon, and thus rest his team as much as possible. At 8 :30. 0'clock each morning he had collected his children, deposited them safely at the school door, and was at work in his fields. His farm work engaged his attention till 4 p.m., when he was ready with the team he had been plowing to carry the children back on the return trip.
Where transportation at public expense has followed the consolidation of schools, it has generally been one of three forms:
( I) To have all the pupils of the abandoned school to assemble at the old site and be transported in a body to the consolidated school. In the afternoon they would be returned to the same place, and from there they would walk to their respective homes.
7 sse

98
(2) To have the school conveyance pass down the proscribed route and have -those pupils living off the road to walk from their residences out to the main road and board the conveyance there; this process being reversed in the afternoon.
(3) To convey every pupil from his door to the school house door in the morning and back again in the afternoon.
Since upon the efficiency of the driver, more than upon anything else, hinges the success of transportation of scholars, we may formulate some statements in regard to 'him deduced from the collected experience of those who have tried this plan.
(I) In awarding the routes, explicit contracts need to be made with the drivers as to details of route, the furnishing of lap-robes in cold weather, as well as amounts to be paid for service itself, team, rolling stock, etc., and time of payment of same.
(2) The contract should not be let necessarily to the. lowest bidder. The element of responsibility should far outweigh the mere cost.
(3) No young person, and no irresponsible person, should be allowed to drive a wagon.
(4) The driver should be clothed by the school board with authority, and he should be a man of sufficient personality' to enforce his authority without undue friction.
(5) Pupils should be under his immediate control, and their behavior on the wagon be counted as part of their school deportment.
(6) The principal of the school should exercise the same supervision over the wagons and the driver that he does over his-assistant teachers and their work-possibly more.
In educational problems, as in most problems which come before us for solution, the first question asked by the average man is-Does it pay? The answer concerning consolidation

99

and transportation is by asking, in true Yankee fashion, an-

other question-Are we to make up our balance sheet on the

dollar and cent basis entirely, or are we to take into con-

sideration the efficiency of the school?

Since an assistant teacher can be secured at a smaller salary

than a principal, a three-teacher school can be handled on a

smaller salary list than three single schools, or, which is bet-

ter, the money can be used in paying better salaries and se-

<curing a better grade of teachers.

Where transportation is practiced at the consolidated school

the total cost is, of course, increased, but hardly as much as

at first it might seem.

'Where three schools are consolidated the relative cost would

probably be:

Principal at consolidated school

$ 40 00 per month

Assistant at consolidated school

30 00

.cost of two wagons at $27.50 per month 55 00

Total cost of consolidated school. .... $125 00 per month Principals at three single schools at $40 120 00

$ 5 00 per month

Here the difference in money is only five dollars per month

;in favor of the three separate schools.

\;\Then four schools are consolidated the relative cost, be-

fore and after consolidation, would probably be:

Principal at consolidated school

$ 45 00 per month

Two assistants at $30.00 per month .. " 60 00

'Cost of three wagons at $27.5. ~ . . . . . . 82 50

Total cost of consolidated school .... $187 50 per month

Principals at four separate schools at

$4.00

160 00

$ 27 50 per month

1
100~
Here the difference in money is only twenty-seven and a .half dollars per month in favor of the four separate schools. If,however, this consolidated school could be run with two wagons it would reduce the cost per month to the same figures as that of the four separate schools. The total expenditure for a consolidated school, where the pupils are hauled, will probably be more than that for the scattered spelling shops, which are falsely called schools; but when the figures are summed up, it is found that owing to the increased average attendance the C0st per pupil per day is about the same, possibly a little less, under the most unfavorable circumstances, and very much less where conditions are normal.
There are, however, some elements which enter into the estimate which are hard to put a value on, measured in terms of a dollar.
( I ) The increased enrollment and the very much higher percentage of attendance, even on the increased enrollment. It is the universal testimony that tardiness is very largely decreased, and truancy practically eliminated; which element of irregularity is one of the most serious handicaps under which our rural schools labor.
(2) The bettered health of the pupils by being largely relieved of wet feet and the exposure to rain, snow and mud. Some careful parents have estimated that the saving in shoe leather and doctors' bills alone are sufficient to pay all cost of transportation.
(3) The relief of mind which comes to the parents who know that the little folk are not overtaxing their strength by reason of the hardships of the way, and more especially when they realize that the joy and comfort of the home, their older daughter, just blooming into lovely maidenhood, is not exposed to the lurking danger of the unfrequented road.
The advantages of the consolidated school over the single school are many, even where transportation is not practical.
It largely secures:

101
( I ) The permanency of teachers. Every observant patron is aware that the pupil suffers more or less whenever there is a change of administration in the school.
(2) Better school houses-better heated, lighted and ventilated, better desks, more blackboards, etc.
(3) Increased interest on part of pupil and patron. Enthusiasm and rivalry come with numbers; how much the large attendance at our country churches is due to the desire to be in a crowd and to see folks, it might not be flattering to the preacher to determine with accuracy. Not only would the recitations be improved, but the games would be bettered and the social life elevated. (4) Better supervision on the part of the principal and the county superintendent. (5) More rapid advancement and more thorough work on the part ofthe pupil. Having better teachers, being better graded, with more time for recitation work, and with minds whetted by contact with other bright personalities, there is obliged to be greater growth and development. ( 6) A lengthened school term. In many cases the increased efficiency of the school has caused the patrons to lengthen the term by voluntary contributions. (7) An enlarged course of study. High school work is made possible. In the single teacher school there were possibly from three to ten pupils who might do advanced work. If the already overcrowded teacher undertook to do this, the work would necessarily be of a superficial nature, and, at the same time, it would be unfair to the pupils in the common school grades, to whom all his time rightly belonged. In a consolidated graded school, .with three or four teachers, there would be from five to thirty pupils who could be handled in advanced work by one of the teachers without' much detriment to the lower classes, thus furnishing the almost ideal school. What better conditions could be found for high

102
school work than in the quiet and healthfulness of the counfry, surrounded by the glories of nature and away from the distracting influences and temptations of the town.
Here the child is free to grow and develop naturally and normally in body, mind, and spirit.
Enlarging the illustration of another, I would say: With many people a school is a school, just a3 a cow is a cow. One animal may live a half-starved life on the short grass of the hillside, only affording a scant measure of bluish Equid, by courtesy called milk, which is neither agreeable to the eye nor pleasant to the taste, rewarding neither the mu,:;de of the chumer nor the appetite of the consumer; the other animal, grazing on fertile meadowland, rewards its keeper with abundant cream and golden butter, tempting to the eye. delicious to the palate, and strengthening to him who eats. Let us quit dwarfing the intellects of our children by sending them to these little spelling shops. Let us under,:;tand, once for all, that everything that is called a school is not a school. We should not tolerate for a day those schools, falsely so-called, where it requires three years to do one year's work. It is a crime against childhood and a premium on ignorance. Let our watchword be, fewer schools if need be, but better schools at all costs. With good roads t? insure. easy access to the town and neighborhood, with telephones and rural mails to Rive easy communication between those having relations of friendship or business;. and with churches and good schools to give 0P'portunities for spiritual and intelledual growth, the country life is freed from its most objectionable features and the enticing town hfe deprived of its most exclusive blessings. What ne.ed is there to move to town when the thing sought can be transferred to the farm? Here the boys and girls can be reared to be independent, to think for themselves, to be.

103
honest and h~lpful, to know that idleness and loafing is dis~ honorable, whether practice-d around the village store or in the mother's sitting room.
With her country homes filled with independent, thoughtful, upright, contented people, the old State of Georgia will blossom like the rose and become in very truth the "Garden of the Lord."
JENKINS COUNTY-W. V. LANIER} C. S. C.
In presenting this re-view I shall pursue the sa~e plan as set forth in my last report. I shall take up the conditions as I find them in the several school communities.
PERKINs.-Here we have not succeeded in creating a school sentiment that should exist but the conditions are better than they were. We have put in good patented desks there during the year and made some improvement in the looks of the surroundings.
DRY BRANcH.-Plans have been perfocted and the money raised to build a nice two-room house to take the place of the old ugly house that has been the school home of the children of the community for the last twenty years. The grounds have been very much improved already by planting tre-es and adding" some shrubbery. The blinds that all these years have been nailoo in, have been put on hinges, good desks have been bought and the school recently supplied with good blackboards.
CENTREvILLE.-Since my last report, this house has been completed, a piazza has been adde-d and we hope to soon have the grounds enclosed. Then the work of beautifying the exterior will move steadily on.
SCARBORo.-He-re_ two weak schools have been consolidated and a 111ce house has been built. The house is 23x45 feet, wit~ nice vestibule and room for hats and cloaks and a bell tower. This has not been ceiled or painted yet but the time is not far

104
clistant when both of these things will be done. It is furnished with patented desks and acme plate boards.
LONG BRANcH.-Here the school has been furnished with good blackboards as the above mentioned and a full supply of patented desks. The grounds have been improved sam&what, but can not be made to show much improvement until they have been enclosed.
ROOTY BRANcH.-When I wrote my last report the money to build had ~ardly been subscribed. Now we have a nice school building 23x45 fe6t complete with the exception of the paint. It is a credIt to the community. Built right out in the woods we have much to do to make it the place it should be from an esthetic point of view, but I believe the people will measure up to the work. This house, too, is furnished with good desks and blackboards.
N orwood.~Here where 16ss than a year ago there was not a building worthy to be called a schoolhouse there is now a good, three-room building constructed of good dressed ~ate rial and practically complete except the paint., The location is beautiful and will soon be enclos6d and before long I am sure it will present a very inviting aspect. The house cost' $800.00 besides a great deal of gratis work. Th6 people raised about 75 per cent. of the money.
OGEECHEE.-Here two weak schools have bee-n consolidat- . ed (Ogeechee and Kent) and a handsome school built. This is the place whe-re I was warned that a school could not be run for more than two months in a year. It was pitiful to see the houses in which those bright children had to go to school. Now there is a splendid house 23x45 feet sitting ,in the pine grove with fts spire rivaling some of the surrounding sapplings in height. The building is complete. It is tastily painted and the windows have good 'spring roller shades. Hat hooks have been supplied, good furniture has been put in, blackboards have been provided and a good, earnest Christian teacher is

105
:in charge. Need I say the childre-n are happy? The communi1:y furnished the money except about $100.00.
GORDoN.-Here the people have abandoned an old rickety :building for one e-xactly like the one described above efcept ..as it was built later the people had to do something better and they put maps on the wall.
It may be said that the building mentioned has been done ~ince tho first of last December except o~e house that was begun previously.
It is the work of two years, however. . I have only three more houses to build this year and then the county will be fairly well supplied.
Disappointment has come to me in two or three localities but I am still hoping that the future has something promising for me, even where I have hitherto been disappointed.
Having secured houses where I could feel that a library would be safe, I am now turning my attention to that and I -feel sure the next report will show several in the county.
SCREVEN.-H. J. ARNEY, SYLVANIA.
Our schools opened this year with brighter prospects than at any time in the past. We have a very superior body of teachers, who are doing excellent work. The- enrollment in January was very encouraging and all facts show great interest on the part of parents. Nearly all the schoolhouses for white children have been made comfortable; many of them have be-en supplied with patent desks and all are fairly well -furnished.
The State appropriation will be a few hundred dollars more "than last year and in addition to this we are to receive about :$5,800 from county taxation. Only one month will be- added to the school term this year, as the plans arranged by the lboard of education require a considerable amount for school

buildings and furniture, and to increase the salaries of our faithful teachers who have so long been working for insufficient compensation. It is the purpose of our board to try to induce our best teachers to remain in the work. Poor teachers, are very expensive at any price, and if we improve our schools it will be necessary to give adequate compensations to those' teachers who are doing the best work and co-operation with, the board in making our schools more efficient.
Screven county has now local taxation for her schools, the issue having been carried in an election in July, 1907, and our ~ise and patriotic grand jury has directed that the convict hire should be paid to this fund.
Seven years ago the value of school property in our county' was less than $9,000 and now it is more than $35,000 and' efforts are being made in many of our schools to secure good' libraries. Altogether the outlook was never more encouraging.
We have a board of education composed of broad-minded men who are doing a great work for the children and if they can be induced to remain in office our people will see the wis~om exercised by our grand jury in their selection.
PAULDING COUNTY-J. S. TURNER, C .. S. C.
Our county school board made an attempt to district the county under the McMichael bill, but their work is incomplete and unsatisfactory. However, we hope that, profiting by the mistakes of the past, before this year is ended they will have done their work well. . The individual efforts of citizens to have schools located near their respective homes must not be regarded; but in the future, homes and roads should be built with regard to the school houses.
We have only twenty-two good schoolhouses in the county belonging to the board of education. Three of these were

lQ7
built during 1907, and e,leven others painted. The board of education encourages the building of good schoolhouses by paying one-third of the cost, provided said houses are bUIlt according to the plans and specifications furnished by the board. The,se plans vary according to the number of pupils
to be accommodated and the money to be expended. \e are
sending photographs showing some of the dlffer6nt plans.
The board of education agrees to contribute one-third the value of a library to any school in the county whose patrons will first raise the other two-thirds; provided the books are selected from the list recommended by the State lIbrary committee. So far, only four libraries have been purchased. But we have good reports from these four. One teacher, soon afte,r having obtained a library, said: "I have never had anything give such impetus to my work. I never saw such enthuSlasm. The children just devour the books." Our energy and zeal shall not be abated until we, have competent teachers and a library in every school in the county.
The negro population of our county is so scattered that scarcely enough pupils can be got toge,ther to have schools> and it is still harder to get teachers for them.
The forty-six white schools ought to be reduced one-half. If our people could realize that the teacher's work is measur6d 110t so much by the number of pupils as the number of grades, the,y would favor consolidation. Eight of our best common schools are doing some high school work, thus increasing the demands on the time of the already overworked teachers. But we ought to furnish enough teachers and encourage this work, for here these pupils get the inspiration that impels them to enter high schools.
Our people have been slow to avail themselves of th6 benefits of the local tax law. Only two districts have voted for it. The trustees of one of these districts now have in proce,ss of building a schoolhouse which, when completed and furnished>

108
will have cost twelve hundred dollars. It will reflect credit upon them and their district.
Our public school term is only five months. But not a few of the schools supplement this by individual subscriptions or by donations sufficient to run the schools from one to four months longer.
Teachers' salaries are based upon scholarship, training, and work to be done, and these are usually supplemented by individual subscriptions guaranteed by the trustees. Thus the salaries of teachers range from thirty to sixty-five dollars a month. And our policy is, the more lIberal are the trustees with their teachers, the more liberal are we. With the surplus carried over from 1907, commencing with the fall term, we will be able to make more liberal contracts with the teachers than we have ever made.
Our teachers are deficient both in scholarship and professional training, but not so much in the former as in the latter. Low salaries and short terms do not attract the best talent, and consequently we have had to draw largely upon the inexperienced student body of the high schools.
One of the most potent factors in our educational progress is the Dallas Graded School. We make special mention of this school because it is partly under our supervision and receives public funds directly from us, and because of its influence upon our common schools. Prof. H. H. Ezzard began the superintendence of this school five years ago in an abandoned hotel with three teachers. He now has eight teachers in a modern six-thousand-dollar school house, with an annex contemplated. Students of this school have won four medals out of eight offered by the Northwest Georgia Oratorical Association, which is composed of ten of the leading high schools of this section; and at the Georgia State Fair a pr.emium of ten dollars was awarded this school for oratory. The Dallas High School is an accredited school of the University, and seven out of the twelve graduates of the class of 1907 are now attend'-

109
ing some of the best colleges in the State, and all of them are making good records. One of our boys at the University helped to win both the Freshman and Sophomore debates, and wIll be one of the Sophomore declaimers at next commencement.
SPALDING COUN1'y-J. O. A. MILLER, C. S. C.
The purpose, plan and outlook in reference to our schools, may be briefly summarized.
It is the aim of those in control of our school affairs to give all the children, resident within our territorial limits, a common school education. The door of opportunity to attend school shall be open a sufficient number of months each year during childhood to accomplish this desirable result. Schoolhouses, comfortable but not very expensive, have been erected and furnished to suit present demands, leaving to the future such changes and improvements as may hereafter become necessary. School terms shall be so adjusted as to secure the attendance of the greatest numoor of pupils for the greatest possible length of time ~ach scholastic year. Harmonizing with the best modern public school spirit, and cooperating with the official head of the Department of Education, it is our purpose to show gratitude in the acceptance of Georgia's proffered aid to schools by constant effort to develop all our children into upright, intelligent, law-abiding, patriotic citizens.
Our plan conforms to our purpose and always looks toward school betterment. Efforts will be continued to have every child attend school until each is morally and mentally equipped for the duties of life. If we can not transport the cllildren to school \ve will transport the school to the children. Although this may necessitate a few small schools, it is the glory of the public school that it is no "respecter of persons," and if there is any privileged class, it specially includes the

1
110
children of the poor. We shall endeavor to secure good teachers, and shall insist upon their faithful performance of duty._ Our county board of education and that of the city of Griffin work in harmony, and pupils from the rural districts have access to the city public schools and to the high school. The owners of the cotton mills in and around Griffin strictly observe the law as to school attendance of the children employed by them and hberally supplement the school fund in aid to these schools.
These favorable conditions betoken success and, in the main, the educational outlook is hopeful. Our people are conservative, and although school improvements will be gradual yet it is assured and certain. Ouf of sixteen public school districts, into which Spalding county has been laid off, seven have adopted local taxation for school purposes. In other school districts, leading patrons have preferred to supplement the school fund out of their private means. If local taxation, already adopted, prove helpful, it will doubtless soon become uniform throughout the county, especially if certain deterrent conditions can be eliminated. In any event, the inherent value of education will be constantly kept before the people. Like heavenly treasures bestowed beyond the destructive reach of moth, rust or modern graft, education acquired will be represented as some-thing more than a material asset that may be destroyed by fire, flood or such disasters as the cyclones that have recently devastated Spalding county and other sections of ~he State.
SUMTER COUNTY-W. S. MOORE, C. S. C.
We have repaired one new school building in Andersonville district, cost to the board four hundred dollars ($400). Since this building has been put in first-class shape the school has increased in attendance, and the patrons have shown more interest in school work.

111
The attendance of all schools shows an increase over the previous year. We have 27 school districts, only one has voted local taxation, others may during the present year. The teach,ers of the past year showed a marked improvement in their work over the previous year. Our monthly meetings were well attended and much interest was manifested. Our public term runs seven months for the whites and six for the colored. Nearly all the white schools have a library and the children are reading to advantage. We are transporting children to two schools, the attendance of these children is good. We are following the course of study and trying as best we can to grade the schools. We have paid our teachers each month as soon as their reports were rendered. My board of education greatly aided me in my school work and we will continue to stress all lines of school work for the upbuilding of the schools of Sumter county.
PRESENTMENT OF GRAND JURY.
We find the books neatly and correctly kept, and all vouchers properly taken, and filed in their respective places. \Ve als') find that the present incumbent, Mr. VV. S. Moore, is a capable and efficient officer, one who realizes the great responsibility which has been entrusted to him, and we believe he is doing all in his power to advance the educational interests of our -county.
We also find that we have sixty schools in the county, twenty-four for whites and twenty-six for colored. The county owns twenty-four school buildings, and all of these are comfortably fitted with desks and blackboards.
By referring to the county commissioners' report, we find that our schools, by the aid of the convict fund, have been kept -in operation an average of seven and one-half months per year, which is one to two months longer than any county in the State. It seems to us that sixty schools located in different parts of the county ought to afford an opportunity for every

1
112
boy and girl in the county to attend school, but we regret to. say that we find ten to twelve per cent. of the ,white children do not attend school, and that thirty per cent. of the white pupils enrolled do not attend regularly. We regret to see the seeming indifference upun the part of parents to give their children the advantage of, at least a common school education, and trust they may realize the importance of educating their children and have them attend school more regularly another year.
TALBOT COUNTY-O. D. GORMAN, C. S. C.
Nothing can be of more importance to the people, or reflect more their enterprise, than good and comfortable schoolhouses. Certainly nothing so surely marks advance in the general culture of a people as well-attended schools, conducted by practical and competent teachers. Talbot county has for several years been building and improving schoolhouses as her re,sources would authorize, and it is most gratifying to note that the improved condition of buildings has been productive of beneficial results. Suitable furniture, where added, has also contributed to the comfort and convenie,nce of teacher and pupils. In all cases where possible we have preserved a most attractive feature of school grounds, natural growth, and have made an effort at the planting of flowers, thus increasing the care and beauty of the grounds. This will interest the pupils, and stimulate local attention to features of school life hitherto negleded. Properly considered, this IS a department of popular education developing better care of houses and grounds, which attract attention to the enterprise of com!11unities.
The, general conditioR of our schools I'S encouraging, showing increased interest in more regular attendance, and in the daily program of school room work. The teachers are attentive and zealous in the discharge of the,ir duties, and are re-

113
Geiving the cooperation of their patrons throughout the county. Too much attention can not be given this feature of successful schools, and parents and pupils should feel an active interest in all matters promotive of the e,ducational advancement. of the people.
TooMBs.-T. A. McQUEEN} VIDALIA.
Toombs county being one of the new counties that began fo exist on the first of 1906, we claim some indulgence on account of our extreme youth. This county was formed from territory furnished by Tattnall, Montgomery and Emanuel counties, and: this being the case, it will appear a little singular that the' school buildings are so nearly the same in size and general appearance.
There is not a county in southeast Georgia that surpasses: Toombs in healthfulness, fertility of soil, or citizenship. We feel assured, that under all these favorable circumstances, that it will not long remain with the backward counties in educational progress, but will soon rank with those counties most progressive along these lines.
The county has a board of education that will compare favorably with any in the State; they all being men of fine business ability, and men fully alive to the educational advancement of the youth of our country. These men have given the school commissioner all necessary assistance in matters pertaining to the school interest of the county; especially have they assisted him in the proper formation of school districts. Their motto has been fewer and better schools, which was not popular with the masses until they were convinced of the advantages of this system, but now the most obstinate ones are assisting in this needed reform. This county is as well divided into school districts as is possible. No district contains less than sixteen square miles, and few that have so'
Ssse

114
~small an' area; the majority containing from seventeen to twenty square miles.
It would, indeed, be difficult to locate the most fertile and 'promising section of the county. In each school district there ;are prosperous farms and much undeveloped farming lands. ;there is not a single school that has reached the height that its possibilities will warrant, hence, it is an inviting field for progressive teachers who are willing to put forth labor and energy for the building up of schools that will be an honor to the teachers thus engaged, ai1d a benediction to our people.
'The present term of only five months, together with the 'Small salaries paid, can be overbalanced by the possibilities that now exist. The county will, in a short while, vote on local taxation, which, it is generally conceded, will be an almost unanimous vote in favor of local taxation for the entire county. When this is accomplished we shall have a nine months' term instead of five months, as at present. vVe shall also be prepared to pay much better salaries, and this change will be made as soon as the earnest, progressive teachers will :assist us in its accomplishment.
\Ve are endeavoring to arouse interest in rural high schools, and have met with some encouragement, but can 'not work this satisfactorily until we are prepared to contract for a nine tnonths' term.
RULES GOVERNING THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS OF TOOMBS COUNTY.
1. The length of school term shall be five months of twenty days each, and all legal holidays must be observed with :appropriate exercises.
2. Teachers not having State license or license from Toombs county must be examined by the county school com- missioner or have license endorsed; and present a contract signed by the trustees or patrons of the school before contracting for said schooi with the board of education.

1
I
115
3. Teachers are required to teach at least six hours, extelusive of recesses, each day. The time for opening and closing, and the length vf recesses, must be determined by the teacher and trustees or patrons.
4. No teacher shall vacate his school for more than two days in succession without first notifying the commissioner.
5. All white teachers are required to attend the teachers' monthly institute, and to take such part in the work as may .be assigned them by those whom they have put in authority.
6. All differences arising between teacher and patron must first be referred to the local trustees, and if not satisfactorily adjusted the case may be brought before the board of education.
7. Teachers are required to send to the county school commissioner a monthly report of the month ending before the first Tuesday in each month, that their accounts may be regularly audited by the board of education at their monthly meetings.
8. All teachers are urgently requested not to allow the school building or furniture to be marred or defaced, and to keep the same together, with the school grounds, in as good and cleanly condition as is possible.
9. All the prescribed tex~-books, including agriculture, must be taught in the grades as designated by the State School Commission.
10. Teachers are required to observe Arbor Day, and if not teaching at the time designated as Arbor Day to use first Friday in February.
TWIGGS.-B. S. FITZPATRICK, FITZPATRICK.
ATTENDANCE.
The reports of attendance show that for 1907 there was an increase of 14 per cent. over the preceding year. I. regard

lUI
this as a most hopeful sign in the operation of our schools, as it shows a rekindled interest on the part of patrons in the education of their children. Getting a full and regular attendance of the children in school is one of our greatest problems, and so constant a failure to do so is causing in the minds of many a strong conviction of the necessity of a mild compulsoryeducationallaw. In the absence of that, every method, every effort, has been used to secure this attendance; and the above showing is gratifying to the school officials of the county.
THE SCHOOL TERM.
Our school term is for seven months, five being taught in the spring and two in the fall; but where communities prefer the last two months taught in the summer, this choice is allowed them. A number of our schools are taught in the summer to accommodate the children that have to help in harvesting the cotton crop.
TEACHERS.
Our reports show the employment of a larger number of first grade teachers for last term than for the one preceding.
Realizing that the teacher is the most important factor in the system, a constant effort is made to secure the best teachers available, and to inspire these to continue to improve their scholarship and skill.
We have been able to make the monthly payment of teachers more prompt by being fortunate enough to borrow funds at the Twiggs County Bank, at Jeffersonville, at the low rate of 6 per cent.
MONTHLY MEETINGS.
Monthly meetings of teachers are held, a good working program planned, and these meetings are made to serve the purpose of inspiring a greater professional spirit among the

117
teachers, stimulating in them effort for better scholarslfip and skill, and promoting deeper sympathy among all having the matter of education in hand.
THg SUMMER INSTITUTE.
The ~ummer institute, which .was held at Jeffersonville in June, with Professor Earnest, of the State Normal, as expert teacher, was full of interest, pleasure, and profit to a fairly good crowd of teachers and visitors.
CONTESTS.
At this institute contests were held in declamation, docution, reading, composition, drawing. with pupils from the different schools competing.
These contests have been found to serve not only the purpose of. exciting effort in the pupils in the different lines, but in . arousing public interest in education.
THE CORN AND COTTON CONTEST.
In October was held a corn and cotton fair. The board of education awarded premiums for the best corn and cotton raised by the pupils, and there were prizes offered for colts and flowers.
There were nineteen contestants for the corn and cotton prizes and five for the colt prize.
Prof. J. S. Stewart, of the State University, ~nd Mrs. Wal-
ter B. Hill, president of the Improvement Club of the State, were present on this occasion, and made able addresses to a large crowd of eager listeners.
SCHOOL IMPROVEMENT.
We have a school improvement club of the county, and each school has a local club. By the effort of these faithful coworkers much good has been done in the improvement of our

118
school grounds, buildings, etc., and much more good is con. templated for the coming year.
What we want to strive for for the coming year is improve~ ment in all lines named, and also in the better grading of our schools, better results from the efforts of our teachers, and better and more effective supervision.
PUBLIC APPRECIATION.
The grand jury before the last voted the convict hire unanimously to our schools, and the jury for the recent court said of these schools: "We congratulate the county upon the flourishing and efficient system of its public schools."
UPSON COUNTY-R. D. SHUPTRINE, C. S. C.
In response to your circular letter to the county schoof commissioners, I am glad to report that we are making some substantial improvements.
Our county board of education, fully conscious of its grave responsibility, has labored very earnestly to place Upson's public schools upon an approved basis.
Considerable progress has been made; but this progress has been necessarily so gradual that it can be properly appreciated only by a comparison of present conditions with the past.
SCHOOL IMPRovEMENT.
If we look back at the cabins that were called school houses t.en or twelve years ago, and then at the comfortable buildings which now replace nearly all of them, we will have at least one practical viewpoint from which to estimate our progress. But there is much to be done yet in planting shade trees and beautifying the grounds; for these things are both useful and ornamental, and tend to cultivate the esthetic taste of the children.

119,
RECENT IMPROvEMENTS.
Nearly eleven thousand dollars have been put into schoof buildings and equipments since last May.
Besides valuable additions made to one large building, two new ones have been built-one of them costing about five thousand dollars.
Most of these sums was raised by the issuing of bonds.
AN ORATORICAL CONTEST.
Our annual oratorical contest has grown in popularity until the whole county manifests an enthusiastic interest in its exercises. Instead of promptin'g and encouraging pupils to enter this contest, we now haye to guard against having too many entries for the allotted time.
IRREGULAR ATTENDANCE.
Our teachers are doing good, earnest work. But irregular attendance in some schools nearly paralyzes the teachers' efforts, by preventing such grading as will allow them to do successful work. This increases the teachers' labors, renders their work unsatisfactory to themselves, and nearly ineffectual cpon the pupils.
SCHOOL DISTRICTS.
Though every community has its district lines clearly defined under the McMichael law, the children are yet allowed to attend the schools of their choice. One reason for this is that certain consolidations required by this law-when completed-will necessitate changes in the lines of several school districts.
PROSpECTS FOR 1908.
The beginning of this scholastic year gave promise of a larger enrollment in our public schools for 1908 than for any llrevious year in their history. But the measles became epi-.

120
demic in the county, invaded half our schools, and sadly interfered with their attendance.
LOCAL TAXATION.
When we get ready to take advantage of local taxation for school purposes, under the McMichael law, it seems best, for several reasons, to adopt it on the county plan. This would make its, administration less complicated, and would give the remote and thinly settled sections a share in the taxes paid on all the corporate property in our boundaries; while' the adoption by districts would have the effect-in this countyof giving all these taxes to the most populous and wealthy districts, leaving the poorer and weaker ones without any assistance from this source.
The result would be a gradual moving towards these populous centers to get the benefit of' better school facilities.
This would soon depopulate certain sections of our county, leaving the lands without cultivation, and almost worthless.
WALKER COUNTY-C. M. CONLEY, C. S. C.
During 1907 we operated fifty.white schools and thirteen coloren schools, employing seventy-four white teachers and fifteen colored teachers.
At this time not all of our schools are graded, but we think this condition will not last long, as we confidently eXPeCt to see them all graded in the near future. The school attendance this year has been the best in the history of Walker county, and the interest manifested by both teachers and patrons has been very encouraging.
While the public school term is five months, yet we have sixteen schools that run from seven to nine months. The patrons of these schools supplement the public school fund in order to do this. Nearly all of the schools observed Washing-

121
ton's Birthday and Arbor Day with appropriate exercises. We do not have monthly meetings, but hold the regular annual institute. Our last institute was very successfully con.Qucted by Prof. D. L. Earnest. Seventy-five teachers and ,~lso a large number of patrons and visitors were in attendance.
Three good school houses, costing from $1,000' to $3,000, were built this year by private donations. Thirty-nine dollars is the average salary paid to the teachers.
Our county has four local tax districts.
WAYNE COUNTY-B. D. PURCELL, C. S. C.
A poor showing was made during 1907 in enrollment and ,:average attendance. Out of a school population of 2,989 only 2,494 pupils were enrolled, and the average attendance was -only 1,54I. Some of the causes of this are: First, an epidemic of measles and mumps in the spring, when most of the :schools were in session; second, carelessness and indifference -on the part of patrons; third, scarcity of farm labor, which necessitated patrons who were otherwise willing to send to ;school to keep their children at home to work on the farms; -fourth, the uninviting and uncomfortable condition of the 'school houses; fifth, the small salaries paid teachers, which made necessary the employment of many who were not trained , for the work.
Thus, it will be noticed that one of our great problems is, how to get the children in school, and how to keep them there. VIe are endeavoring to find the remedy which will overcome ,these obstacles, and in many ways improvement is being made; '1908 promises to be the best year in the history of our schools. .At this date (April 30th) two-thirds of the schools have :already opened, and the enrollment and average attendance have been much better than usual. It has been a healthful spring .and the usual epidemics, sucq, as measles, mumps and grippe,

122
have done but little hurt. Farm labor is more easily obtained' than has been the case for many years. The very best patent desks have been placed in several of our school houses. Nearly $2,000 has been expended for this purpose during the past year, the patrons paying about half. Four new school houses were built during 1907, and that number will be built this year. V/ith few exceptions, all the teachers now employed are doing good work, and they are better preparing themselves for their work. They have been faithful in attending the monthly teachers' meeting, and through it a professional spirit is being aroused.
For more than a year a quiet, systematic campaign has been waged for local taxation, and the last three grand juries have recommended a small tax for school purposes. It is thought that at present a majority of the voters favor a one mill tax. .Even with this small additional tax, the five months' public term could be made absolutely free, and in a few years all the school houses could be placed in a comfortable condition and well furnished and equipped for work. A petition has been sent to each school district, and already the necessary number have signed it to get the election; although, on account of the political campaign and the business depression, the campaign committee has thought best to postpone the election until late in the year or the early part of next year. Since the people have found out that such a small tax is asked for, that probably the rate would never exceed one dollar on the thousand,. those who first opposed the tax are now favoring it. The people are reading and thinking as never before. Intelligence is. taking the place of ignorance and superstition. We are assured that when a vote is taken the citizens will not place thedollar ahead of the child.
Since the county has been redistricted, and trustees elected by the people in each district, the school is becoming more and more the center of interest.

123
On the whole, the educational work of the county is in better shape than ever before, but the next few years will find many needed improvements.
WILCOX COUN'ry-E. S. HAMILTON, C. S. C.
I beg to submit a brief report of the school operations of \;Vilcox county for the term 1908.
We have in Wilcox county twenty-nine rural schools for whites, eleven for colored, of these nineteen of the whites are supported by local tax and ten of the colored. The Georgia Normal College and Business Institute, located at Abbeville, and the Rochelle High School, located at Rochelle, are supported by the town, each of these towns also support a colored school.
The Pineview High School, located at Pineview, is under a local system, and the only local system we have in the county. The total number of schools in the county is forty-five.
Most of the schools opened the 28th of October, and have just completed the five months term, those that opened at this time have had a larger enrollment and better attendance than ever before; we still have one or two communities that think June, July and August are the months in which the schools should be operated. In visiting these summer schools I usually find about seventy-five pupils crowded into a little building just about half large enough, and only one teacher. I have discouraged this in every possible way, and have succeeded in convincing most of the patrons that they were getting very little out of such schools as these.
I am pleased to say that more improvements were made in the way of providing more comfortable school buildings last year than at any time before; several school houses were ceiled, and several extra rooms were built, and assistant teach-

124
eft! employed in communities where the enrollment had grown too large for one teacher to manage the school.
Until the beginning of the present term only one rural build- , ing was equipped with patent desks, since that time five others have been equipped with patent desks and good blackboards. About $500 has been spent in this way, and all has been paid out of m0ney collected as local tax. Three new school buildings have been built at a cost of $1,000, most of which has been paid by local taxation. About $500 has been spent in c~iling school buildings, and most of this has been paid in the same way. We had very little trouble in securing teachers, but had only a few normal trained teachers. lam trying to impress upon the minds of the people of this county the importance of employing teachers that have been taught in schools where a thorough normal course could be given them: and have also tried to impress upon my teachers the importance of attending a normal school and preparing themselves for their work. We have held monthly institutes during the year under the
direction of Prof. H. J. Lawrence, of the Rochelle High
School, and he has given our teachers a thorough review of Page's Theory and Practice, Seely's History of Education and Roark's Methods. Professor Lawrence is a trained educator, and has done much for the teachers who have taught in this county. During the year we organized a Teachers' Association, and through this association we hope to do much for the advancement of education in the county. It has been rather a difficult matter to get the ladies of the county interested in school improvement work. I have been able to get clubs organized in some districts, but have as yet failed to get a county club to take the proper interest in the work.
We have done very little toward putting libraries in oar rural schools, and because of the fact that very few of the doors have locks on them and are allowed to remain open on , Saturdays and Sundays and through vacation, the few books

125
and pictures which we have put in have been torn up Mld destroyed by mischievous boys. I have asked the. trustees of the various schools to put locks on the d~ors of their school buildings, and most of them have done so; I also intend to ask the grand jury to investigate mischief of this kind and bring the guilty parties to justice, which I think will break up trouble of this kind.
We feel that we have done a great deal the past year; yet we fully, realize that we have only begun and are in nowise content, and expect to continue to do all in our power to educate the youths of our county.
REPORT TO GRAND JURY.
In accordance with the Acts of 1887, page 81, I beg to submit my report of the school operations of Wilcox county for the year 1907.
It is gratifying to report much progress along educational lines during th@ past year. This progress has been along the line of securing better buildings, repairing old buildings, improving school grounds, securing more competent teachers at better salaries, and in many districts exten9ing the length of the school term for one or two months. Several of the rural schools have equipped their buildings with modem patent desks; up to this term only one rural school building (Pine City) in the county had patent desks inside. During the past year patent desks have been put in at House Creek, Kramer, Edna, Seville and Pitts, amounting to about $500, in the way of comfortably seating the buildings. A new school building has been erected at Kramer and one at Midway, one in course of construction at Bush. An extra room has been built to the Powers school house, and one to the Liberty Hill school house, expenditures in this way amounting to about $1,200. Good blackboards have been put in several buildings,

1
126
amounting to about $25. Some school grounds have been fenced, amounting' to about $50. Assistant teachers have been employed at Liberty Hill, Seville and Powers, which has not been necessary before.
The enrollment and average attendance has been better than ever before, however, only about sixty per cent. of the children in the county have attended school, and only about eighty. per cent. have even entered; this is an increase of about ten per cent. over last year.
While good work has been done, and decided improvements made, our people have not yet attained what they should in the matter of educating their sons and daughters. A great many are disposed to treat this matter of education lightly, and send their children to school only when it is absolutely free in every respect, yet these same people are making out of their own children slaves, striving to lay up something of this world's goods that they might leave them an inheritance when they pass away, never realizing that houses and lands may be taken away, and no power to regain them;. but that an education will endure while life exists, with no power on earth to take it away.
If it were not for ignorance grand juries would have little <cause to assemble in our dear old county, the cost of courts and maintenance of jails and penetentiaries would be lessened by thousands of dollars, the rights of one man would not be infringed upon by another, murders, crimes, thefts, would almost be eliminated, and in its stead prosperity, good feeling, civil rights would be substituted. We pay enormous taxes to build court houses and jails in which to try and keep criminals and negroes, we provide comfortable stalls for our cows and domestic animals, comfortable kennels for our dogs, yet we permit our own children to sit several hours each day in houses which are uncomfortable, improperly lighted, heated and ventilated, on seats which are so high that their little feet dangle

127
;all day long, and then blame the teacher, or some school offi<Cial, because their children do not get any more out of school than they do. If we have a pointer dog to be trained we want -an expert to do the work for fear the dog will be ruined, and yet we will commit our children to the care of just anybody who comes round claiming to be a teacher, and will take the school for most anything the people are willing to pay. I admit that some teachers are 0verpaid, yet the vast majority are underpaid. The right kind of teacher can not afford to tE;ach for just any amount, if he has prepared himself to teach and intends to make it a life profession. What he has spent in preparing himself is his capital in business, and the scarcity of good teachers is proof positive that there is too little to be realized in these kind of investments. The merchant can take a few hundred dollars, invest in goods, and sell them at a good profit, thereby realizing from the investment; the same with the banker, manufacturer and others who engage in commercial pursuits. The farmer plants his crops and by a little effort harvests enough to do him twelve months in advance; but the teacher spends several years in school preparing himself for his life-work and spends hundreds of dollars, comes out, gets employment for about five months in the year, waits twelve months for his money, is expected to keep fully .abreast of the times, meet his obligations promptly, Or be con-
I
sidered a deadbeat, and while he is employed there is continual strife among the patrpns because he does not teach just like every man thinks he should, and unless he pleases every man in the community, they begin to set up a howl and talk unpleasant things about him in presence of their children, and send these same children to him expecting them to derive some benefit from his teaching; the children after nearing these things have no respect for the teacher, they go into the school room with a rebellious spirit, and soon it is evident that the teacher can not control his school, and the only thing to do is to give it up.

128
The next teacher that comes along usually m<:;ets with the same fate; it has been practiced in the community, it has been. bred in the children, and taught to them from the very first day that they enter school. This same man, who was instrumental in breaking up the first school, will begin to devise plans to break up the next one, and he usually succeeds; if a merchant should allow every customer to manage his business, his business would soon go up; if railroads were to allow just anyone to run their trains they soon would have no trains, and if any community expects for just any man in the community to manage the school and have it run his way, he is expecting nothing less than the vilest kind of ignorance to be bred into his sons and daughters.
It takes co-operation among patrons, pupils, teachers and school officials to operate a school successfully, and give to them what God has ordained they should have. I mention these facts because we do not have to get outside of Wilcox county to find these things existing, and until the remedy is applied the disease will spread on to future generations through our sons and daughters.
I am going to work for better buildings, better furniture, better teachers, consolidation of schools, longer terms, more attractive and better kept school grounds. I am going to make an effort to establish a model school in Wilcox county. At this time there is not a rural school in the county sufficiently equipped to advance a student beyond the seventh grade. After the child finishes this grade he must either be sent to .the towns to receive his higher training or his education is at an end, so far as the school is able to carry him. This is the cause of so many boys flocking to the towns and cities. Who can blame them? they are educated there; he usually finds an attractive school building, comfortable seats, and his school days are made pleasant instead of a drag. If a boy is to be a farmer educate him on the farm and for the farm, and just

129
as soon as our people begin to do this then very few of our boys and girls will leave the farm and go to the towns. I believe in having agriculture taught in all our schools, and believe in having it taught by having it done. If all our school grounds were fenced we could have trees and flowers planted in quantities, and make every school site a beautiful landscape instead of a little, old, dirty hut out on one side of the road. If the patrons of each school district would fence their school grounds we could get the trees and flowers planted by the teachers and pupils, and at the same time teach them valuable lessons, far more important than anything they would get out of their books in the same length of time.
I might write a great deal more in connection with the schools of the county; but for fear of making my report too lengthy, I beg to have your consideration of the matters set forth. I would be pleased to have any suggestions from your honorable body for the advancement of the cause of education in our county. The grand jury may do much toward having these views carried out by their approval. In several counties of the State the grand jury recommended that the ordinary call an election in the county for the purpose of voting on the local tax question to supplement the school fund, and in almost every instance the county went solid. They have expressed their approval of having school grounds fenced, and of consolidating schools, and of providing comfortable buildings, and properly equipping the buildings, and in almost every instance the work has been taken up and carried out.
J. PIKE COUNTY- BEN RIDLEY, C. S. C.
REPORT TO THE GRAND "JURY, APRIL TERM, 1908.
I have the honor to report to your body, as the law requires, matters relating to the public schools of the county.
9 sse

130
During the past year your board of eduar.tfon has labored . earnestly and continuously for the betterment 0f the system and to bring tho school work of our county folly up to the
requirement of the times. Its progress has been slow and oftentimes impeded by obstacles which have seemed very discouraging but through patient work, I am glad to say,_ we <:an 'see many evidences of substantial improvement in many of the districts.
The year 1907, in my opinion, was, in s.ome respect~, the most prosperous year we have ever had. The enrollment and average attendance hqs been very little better than that of 1906, but the patrons and public.in general seem more and more disposed to co-operate with teachers and school officials and they realize the importance of supplementing the public fund in order to employ better teachers and to run for a longer term than the six months for which the county pays.
We have in the county thirty white schools and twentyeight negro schools, which run six months and, with few exceptions, are taught in very comfortable houses.
Several of the white schools have been improved during the year. The citizens of Bolton's school district have built a splendid new model one-room school house and have completed it both inside and out. It is an honor to the community. They have voted for local taxation.
The citizens of New Hope school district have added a room to their already splendid building and have employed an assistant teacher. They have also voted for local taxation for public schools. \Ve have seven districts in the county that have voted for the privilege of collecting a local tax, if they need it, with which to supplement the school fund.
Our public school year embraces six scholastic months, or 120 days, as follows: Beginning January 1st and including eighty days between January 1st and June 1st, and forty days to be taught consecutively between September 1st and Dectmber 25th. Heretofore 'we have had two months in the

1
!
131
summer instead of in the fall, but the white people of the county, especially, as the past teachers' monthly reports will show, do not appreciate the summer schools. For the average attendance in nearly all the white schools shows, notwithstanding the bad weather in January and February, better than in July and August. Singing schools, protracted meetings, etc., kill the summer schools. The weather is too hot to get the best results and your board thinks that this division of time is for the best interests of the sysem, as it practically puts the six months public term together, and the same teacher can be retained through the fall and spring terms, thereby accomplishing more. This plan seems to be workIng to advantage in other parts of the State and we decided to at least give it a trial. The law requires that we pursue the course of study which is adopted and carefully outlined by the State School Commissioner and we are endeavoring to do so in all of our schools.
System and proper classification is absolutely necessary to successful work in the school room, hence we are endeavoring to grade as best we can all of our schools.
One source of gratification to your board of education is the worth and efficiency of our teachers. As a whole, I believe, they are the best that we have ever had. A large pe'( cwt. of them are normal trained-have made special preparation for the work of the school room. In the main they are intelligtmt, consecrated, devoted to duty and seem to have a genuine appreciation of the great possibilities and responsibilities of their office. They deserve our respect and encouragement, hence your board has for several years adopted the plan of borrowing money and paying them a salary at the end of each month instead of compelling them to wait until January for the bulk of their pay. The Interest paid, it is true, comes out of the public fund and is therefore paid by the teachers themselves, but the board can borrow money much cheaper than the individual teacher can have his account

132
discounted. Mr. Chas. T. Smith, president of the Concord Banking Company, is a faithful member of our board. He is a very earnest supporter of public education and is thoroughly in sympathy with the teachers. He is always ready to loan us money at the very lowest rate of interest, and last year loaned the board $5,000 for three or four months without interest.
In the matter of school room appliances, such as maps, charts, globes, pictures, blackboards, etc., I regret to say that many of our otherwise splendid country school rooms are very poorly equipped. But this very great need is gradually being realized by patrons and trustees and they are being supplied, and I trust all of them will soon be provided with such appliances. I also regret to report that among the schools of the rural districts we have very few school libraries, but we are ende-avouring to impress the parents, as we have the opportunity, with the value and importance of providing their children with good literature-the best books. We want not simply to teach the children how to read, but also why to read and what to read. As I view it, school libraries WIll serve admirably to widen an~l deepen the good effect of our schools.
The great and crying need of the public schools of our county is not so much better teachers as better conditions; 1>0 that the teachers can do better work.
Our teachers are faithful and efficient in the main. but the trouble is they have too many classes or subje-cts to teach to do their best work. That condition of progress is a reduction in the number of schools in the county where it can be done without inconvenience to the, pupils and the placing- of two or three teachers in every school in the county. It is impossible for one teacher to hear thirty-five or forty recitations effectively during the day-and most of our schools necessarily have seven and eight grades, even though they do not enroll more than thirty-five or forty pupils, and each

133
grade will average five recitations. The b~st teacher in the state could not do satisfactory work under such conditions. In order to get the best results we should have a teacher for the first four grades and another for the fifth, sixth and seventh grades. But in order to do this we must have more money, even to run the schools six months during the year. Until more funds are available for the country schools there can be no material advancement in the system. It must be remembered that the public schools of Pike county are being conducted on less than fifty cents per month for each child of school age and 80 per cent. of our children, both white and black, are enrolled. If we had about one-half as much more money as we now receive from the State, I am persuaded that we could accomplish more than three times as much good. In other words, if we will expend $3.00 per year for each white child of school age in the county we will save more than $9.00 per child in the quality of instruction from the same teachers. And money saved in this way is indeed money made, because the great majority of our children in the country will spend less than 800 days in school and under the tutorage of a teacher-making preparation for a life of fifty, sixty or maybe seventy years. How important then, that they should have the very best teacher and the very best conditions and surroundings so that that very best teacher. could do his or her very best work.
How, then, shall we raise t.his small amount in ~rder to save so much? If we attempt to raise it by tuition or public subscription, a very few will have it all to pay and very often, those who are least able financially, and those who are greatly benefited pay nothing, because they are not willing.
I have studied the question thoroughly-looked at it from ~very standpoint-and I am fully convinced that local taxation is the best, and at present the only means of properly furnishing adequate. educational facilities for the rural sections of Georgia.

1
134

I do not know of any other way to develop our school sys-

tem. Every dollar expended in this way would be an invest-

ment in property as well as in brains, and would raise the

country to a higher inteollectual and moral level.

Local taxation for the primary schools, is pure Jeffersonian

democracy, and who does not believe in the political infalli-

bility of Thomas Jefferson? Seven of our school districts,

VIZ: Meansville, Concord, Milner, Bolton's, Neow Hope, Mid-

way and Vega, have voted almost unanimously for local tax,

and next year will have very much better schools than they

have had heretofore, but I long to seeo the county as a whole

adopt this system of local taxation for public schools and

especially do we need this before your honorable body takes.

from us the convict hire.

The grand jury is a reopresentative Qody of the best citizens

in all parts of the county and I deem it appropriate to call

their attention to these things that each one when he returns

home may go to work to do something to arouse an inteorest

in educational matters. Let's do what we can to better con-

ditions and make our schools what they ought to be and let'.~

do it now while it is day, for we will not "pass this way

again," and the night wiII soon some "when no man can

work." Especially should parents realize the importance of

improving their opportunities for giving their children an

elementary education while it is day. It will beo too late in

a few years to grieve over "what might have been."

.-

I shaH continue to stress the things that are for theo up-

building of the schools of the county during the year 1908,

and I pray for your encouragement and co-operation at all

times, that we may put our schools in the forefront and give

our childreon as good a chance as any boys and girls in the

world.

REPORTS OF THE UNIVERSITY AND ITS BRANCHES.
UNIVERSITY OF GEORGIA.
Hon. Jere M. Pound) State School Commissioner) Atlanta) Ga.
SIR: The session of 1907-198 has been a successful one. The health of the student-body has been excellent, except for one attack of typhoid fever, in which eleven cases were developed, and which cost the lives of two promising young men. The most rigid examination by the physician of the University and by an expert from a distance disclosed no local cause for the disease, which was not confined to students, and there has been no recurrence. It is quite certain that five of the eleven cases were sick when they came to the University in September.
The conduct of the student-body as a whole has been irreproachable, and fewer than usual have been dismissed for inattention to duty.
The attendance is the largest in the history of the institution, the enrollment in regular classes reaching 501, exclusive of 320 in the Summer School, 104 in the Cotton School. The increase is well distributed over the various courses of instruction.
The limited dormitory room at the disposal of the University was soon exhausted and a number of cottages on the extension of the campus were turned over to students. The Denmark dining-hall has been full to its utmost capacity, and for some months has been crowded beyond its capacity by extra tables and chairs. If the attendance increases at the rate that has prevailed in recent years, the problem of housing and feeding will soon become acute.

136
SUMMER SCHOOL.
The session of the Summer School for 1907 was a dlstinct success. The experience of preceding sessions enabled both teachers and students to organize the work better, and all agreed that more was accomplished than in former years. There were 320 in attendance, most of them for the full term. Superintendent Woofter has already made his arrangements for the coming session, the Bulletin has been issued. It is confidently believed that the session of 1908 will be better than any preceding session.
HIGH SCHOOLS.
The work of examining high schools and fostering the founding of new ones has been continued actively. The system of "accredited schools," inaugurated by the University, has proved highly beneficial to the schools, and has increased the efficiency of the students who have entered college. Carefully compiled statistics of students entering by examination and on certificate show an advantage to students from the accredited schools. The University has taken an active part in the campaign for local taxation, as well as the foundation of the Agricultural High Schools, and in the course of study.
AGRICULTURE.
The most conspicuous advance of the year has been in the College of Agriculture. President Soule makes a separate report on the work and needs of this college, and I shall therefore refer only briefly to it.
The building for the college, occupying a prominent hill on the extension of the campus, is well advanced, and when completed will be the handsomest of all the University buildings, and have few equals in the South. It is gratifying to note that the architect is an alumnus of the University.
The Cotton School, which was held in February, which was the first of its kind ever conducted, was a surprise even to the most sanguine. One hundred and four men attended the

137

course, and the lecturers were all struck with the exceptional intelligence of the students and their eagerness to learn. Every day was fully occupied, and the students expressed themselves enthusiastically in praise of the work. It is planned not only to continue this school, but to add others of a like nature.
The educational train, which was made possible by the kind cooperation of the various railroads of the State, has been so .prominently described in the press that it is superfluous to do more than refer to it, and to bear record to the devotion and energy of President Soule and his colleagues, who were untiring in their efforts to make it a success.

GEORGIA HISTORY AND SOCIOLOGY.

The work in Georgia History and Sociology has been begun

and promises to be of great value to our students. The growth of the University demands enlargement. Al-

ready the teaching force in the Schools of English and Mathe-

matics has been increased and the teachers have their time

fully occupied. If the numbers continue to increase it will be-

come necessary to add new teachers in all schools.

. With the great number of young people in the State who are

not taking any instruction beyond the elementary schools, the duty of increasing facilities becomes imperative if our State

will maintain its high position in the sisterhood of States.

There is a steadily growing tendency to make such provision

by the State as will place its young people abreast with those

of other States in the struggle for existence. As I see it, un-

less this is done, we are in danger of falling behind and going

into a mediocrity which wi11leave our people as a prey for the

better trained men from other portions of the Union.

I hope you will aid us in impressing this situation on the

lawmaking power where the ultimate responsibility must rest.

Assuring you of the desire of the University Faculty to aid

you in every effort to build up educational interest of Georgia,

I am,

Yours respectfully,

DAVID C. BARROW, Chancellor.

The enrollment this year has been the largest in the history

of the institution. The increase over last year is 46.

The college is steadily growing in popular favor and use-

fulness. It was inaugurated in the beginning to provide higher

education for the young people of the northern section of the

State. It has long since outgrown the original design, and

now receives students from all sections of this and other

States. The fine mountain climate, the wholesome environ-

ment, the military discipline, are making the institution more

and more attractive to people who have boys to educate.

Col. W. P. Price, while a member of Congress from the 9th

district, secured from the government the old Mint building

and ten acres of land. The college began in 1872 with this

one building. Since then three buildings and thirty acres of

land have been added to the property. Bostwick Hall is the

gift of Mr. Bostwick, a wealthy friend of Colonel Price, and

the Legislature has erected two dormitories. The two dor-

mitories provide homes for one hundred and fifty boys.

140
In his report to the Governor Colonel Price summarizes so well the work done,here that I copy his words:
"The work of the year has been in the main very satisfactory. I do not think the University system has a school that is making better returns to the State than this institution is making for the amount of money appropriated by the Legislature. We have no daily paper to exploit the work of this institution. The location, in a quiet retreat in the mountains, forbids very much observation on the part of the outside world. Our situation is unique in this respect. But while our isolation places the school at a disadvantage in some respects, in other ways it makes for the good of the student body. We have quiet and peace, and a wholesome environment for hard and honest toil. Working daily under silent and overshadowing influences of the mountains and in the wholesome atmosphere of a mountain elevation is worth more than anybody has yet calculated to the average boy. The climate invigorates him, and the silent appeal of the everlasting hills inspires him to do and to be his best. Many a boy who comes here is literally made over, so far as the habits of his life and thoughts are concerned."
From the beginning the discipline of the school has been military. An officer of the United States army is in charge of the cadet corps. The more I have observed the effect of military training upon the young men of this institution, the more value I have learned to place upon it. The strict attention to duty, necessary and prompt obedience to rightful authority, the natural and normal physical development that comes from the military exercises, all of these add tremendous value to the training that a boy gets here. The men who have graduated from this school, and who have won success in life, now testify that they owe their success largely to the training in quickness of perception and to the habit of prompt attention to duty which they acquired from the military department here.

141
All of our students, except those excused for special reasons, are required to take the military training and to live in dormitories, where they are constantly under the control of military discipline.
A large majority of our students take either the short course or the complete course in agriculture. The department of agriculture has grown in efficiency in the past few years. We have a fairly good equipment for making soil analyses and for testing the values of plant foods and making a careful study of what is helpful or hurtful to growing animal and vegetable life. During the last year we have added a dairy to the farm, and we hope to make this one of the most valuable features of our work, not only for the school, but for this entire section of the State. All through the year the students are engaged ill actual experimental work on the farm. They conduct their own experiments, and are required to make a careful record of what they observe.
Two years ago the board of trustees inaugurated here a department of mining, in the belief that this is the natural place for a school of mines for the State. There is a growing demand all through this section for men who can intelligently superintend the work of mining. The State has untold wealth hid away in the hills of this northern country. This wealth ought to be developed and placed upon the tax-books by Georgia trained men. This section has never yet been intelligently pmspected. The mining industries have in most instances failed so far for the lack of trained supervision. Within the last few years more than $2,000,000 have been wasted in an ignorant and blind scratching for gold around Dahlonega alone.
The whole of North Georgia, from the Carolina line to the Alabama borders is rich in mineral wealth. There are deposits of asbestos, mica, corundum, iron, copper, pyrites, tin, cobalt, and many other kinds of minerals, that have not even

142
been assayed. This does not include the many kinds of marbJo, granite and other forms of building stones. The wealth is sleeping under the surface, owned sometimes by a man who scratches the soil with a black ox and a bull-tongued plow. Trained and practical intelligence is the only thing that will .ever find this wealth and place it in manufactured products on the tax-books: This trained and practical intelligence ought to be developed by the State right where it is needed. The mines are here; a school should be here to train men to develop the mines. They are Georgia mines and should be developed by Georgia brains.
This institution from the necessities of the case must adapt -itself more and more to the needs of the young people in this section of the State. The boys and girls here ought to have -industrial training. The questions that' they will have to determine in the future will be largely industrial questions. In addition, therefore, to the industrial training the young men ,get here, the girls receive training in all branches of domestic science. What the institution sorely needs now is a new building, costing not less than $25,000, in which we can locate the departments of agriculture, electrical and mining engineering and domestic sciences.
If the next Legislature will give us an appropriation for this building, it will add tremendously to the efficiency of our equipment.
Altogether the outlook for the institution is very bright. Our courses of study are arranged in harm(;my with the courses adopted by the leading institutions of the country, and the work done by our young people each year is becoming more and more satisfactory.
With high personal regards, I am yours very sincerely,
G. R. GLENN) President.

REPORT OF GEORGIA SCHOOL OF TECHNOLOGY.

ATLANTA} GA.} May 12, 1908.

Hon. Jere M. Pound} State School Commissioner} City.

DEAR SIR: I have the honor to submit the following report of the Georgia School of Technology for the current scholastic year 197-198:

ATTENDANCE.

During the current year we have enrolled 562 students, the

same number as enrolled last year, which was considerably the

largest enrollment in the history of the school. So great has

been the demand for room in the dormitories that it has been

found necessary to limit assignments to the non-resident

students of the Apprentice and Freshman classes only. When

the session opened, September 25, 1907, all the rooms in the

dormitories had been taken by the non-resident members of the

two lowest classes, 150 students were on the waiting list, and

it is estimated that over 100 applicants had decided not to

enroll because of inability to secure board on the campus.

The imperative demand for greater dormitory accommodation

is easily demonstrated.

DISCIPLINE AND DORMITORY REGULATIONS.
The students of the school have a record for good conduct unsurpassed by any corps in this country. They are required to obey but few regulations, the authorities bearing in mind the development and best interests of the student body. Every man is expected to conduct himself in a gentlemanly manner; when he fails in this and convinces the authorities that he has not come to work, his parents are requested to withdraw him. The discipline of the present session has proved no exception to the school's past record, but has been eminently satisfactory.
GRADUATES.
The school, by efficient and honest work, has taken its place in the front rank of American engineering institutions, and the demand for its graduates is much greater than the supply. In fact, during the past two years each member of the senior class has been placed in a lucrative position before graduation. Virtually ninety per cent. of the graduates of the school are engaged in the profession of engineering, and by their skill and leadership are proving most important factors in developing

145
the remarkable natural resources of Georgia and the South. Degrees of Bachelor of Science are given in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Civil Engineering, Textile Engineering, Engineering Chemistry, Chemistry and Architecture. It will be noted that the tentative effort made in September, 1906, to establish a Department of Mining Engineering has not succeeded. In the spring of 1907 there was reason to believe that a friend of the school residing in a Northern city would donate $25,000 for a Department of Mining, provided the legislature would appropriate $30,000 at its regular session in June of that year. In the failure of the legislature to meet the conditional gift, it was found impossible to conduct the department properly. Economic Geology and 'Mineralogy, however, are being successfully taught in the school, and it is hoped that on this basis such departments of mining as may be specially adaptable to Georgia will be developed.
By order of the local Board of Trustees at its regular meeting, April 8, 1908, a Department of Architecture was established, and will be put into full and effective operation at the beginning of the session of 1908-09.
F'ACULTY.
There are at present thirty-nine members of the faculty, besides six employees engaged in official work. The present faculty is the most efficient in the history of the institution, and it is a pleasure to record that comparatively few changeso will be made during the coming session. The following are the departments of the institution with their official heads:
Mathematics-Prof. O. T. Geckeler. Engineering Chemistry-Dr. W. H. Emerson.
Mechanical Engineering-Prof. J. S. Coon.
English~Prof. S. S. Wallace. Electrical Engineering-Prof. H. P. Wood. Civil Engineering-Prof. T. P. Branch.

BUILDINGS AND EQUIPMENT.
During the summer of 1907 all the buildings of the school were overhauled and put in good condition. The Library building, donated by Mr. Andrew Carnegie, was exteriorly completed, and it was hoped that the legislature would appropriate $5,000 for the interior completion and equipment of the handsome building. As the bill for this purpose was continued until the session of 1908, the Library, by strong effort, was put into such condition that it could be opened for use by the students in September, 1907. It is hoped that the above appropriation will be made available in June, so that the Library can be completed and fully equipped.
While no appropriations have been available for general equipment, substantial additions have been made thereto by donations from manufacturers and by work of the students in the shops.
CAMPUS EXTENSION.
In accordance with the policy pursued during the last two years, by which some five acres have been added to the campus, a very desirable lot, corner North avenue and Fowler street, has recently been purchased by means of subscriptions from friends of the school, and an option has been secured on a large adjoining lot which we shall hope to secure so soon as the financial depression has been relieved. The school likewise has options on other vacant land in its vicinity, which it

147
hopes can b.e bought by appropriation from the State. It is vital that an adequate campus be secured as soon as possible, else the rapidly increasing valuation of adjoining land will make purchase prohibitive in the near future.
TUITION AND FEES.
Each county in the state is entitled to fifteen free scholar-
ships. These scholarships will be awarded on the ground ct
excellence in character and preparation, and time of entrance. The amount of tuition charged to the excess .of fifteen from
a county of this State is $25 per annual session. Residents of other States pay a tuition of $100 per year, in
addition to the fees of $25 and $5, mentioned below. Every student, of whatever place of residence, pays an an-
nual fee of $25 to cover contingent expenses. Half of this amount is payable on entrance and the remainder on or before the first Saturday after February ro.
A contingent fee of $5 will be required to be deposited with the treasurer on entrance, to cover injury done to college building, apparatus or furniture, which sum will be returned to student on leaving, if not forfeited.
Until above fees have been paid, no student will be allowed to participate in the duties and recitations of his class.
Text-books and stationery may be purchased from the Quartermasters.
Each student is required to have two suits of overalls, costing about $1.00 each.
NIGHT SCHOOL.
Atlanta, as a manufacturing center, has a large population of operatives, most of whom have been denied vocational training above the average standard imposed by faulty apprenticeship and financial necessity.
In addition, the expanding manufacturing interests of the city offer constantly increasing inducements to the young men

148
who will prepare themselves for skilled labor. To meet both of above conditions, a night school was inaugurated in the institution March 2, 1908, and its first term will close June 19, 1908.
The night school is supported by appropriation of the city council of Atlanta, supplemented by a small contingent fec . charged e:lch student.
It is proposed to reopen the night school on September 30, 1908, and to continue in session until June 17, 1909, dividing. the session into three equal terms of three months each. The contingent fee for each term will be $5.00.
At present training in twenty-four trades is offered. Also instruction in Elementary English and Mathematics. It will be the effort of the authorities to institute such further course') as may be justified by demand. One hundred and thirty-five students have been enrolled to date.
succESSFUL YEAR.
The work of the year in general has been unusually successful. A hearty spirit of coope~ation has been developed between the faculty and students, and the result is manifested in fewer academic deficiencies on the part of students and a mark ed developmt.mt of esprit de corps.
In common with universal prevalence of certain forms of sickness, the school has had its share of such visitations this session, but so skillfully have conditions been met that the cases have been isolated and epidemics have been prevented.
The place of the institution in public confidence and esteem is secure, and with adequate funds, marked expansion along all lines is sure to follow.
Catalogues containing full information concerning the school will be mailed to all interested applicants.

REPORT OF GEORGIA NORMAL AND INDUSTRIAL COLLEGE.
MILLEDGEVILLE) GA.) May 20, 1908. Hon. J. M. Pound) State School Commissioner) Atlanta) Ga.
DEAR SIR: In response to your letter, I take pleasure in presenting the following report of the Georgia Normal and Industrial College for the past year, the same being the seventeenth annual session of the institution.
ATTENDANCE. During the past year we have enrolled students from ,110 counties, the total number of students being 483. (This does not include the younger students in the Practice School.) The attendance this year is the largest in the history of the institution. Besides this, 364 young ladies have been refused admission to the college because of a lack of room in the college dormitories. Below I give a table 'which shows the attendance of the college during the past four years:
1904-1905, enrolled, 363; turned away, none. 1905-1906, enrolled, 410; turned away, 130. 196-197, enrolled, 426; turned away, 179. 1907-1908, enrolled, 483; turned away, 364.
COST OF ATTE;NDANCE;.
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 $120. This is a lIberal estimate. Tuition is free to all Georgia students.
THE NEW DORMITORY.
Work on the new dormitory has been in progress during the past year, and it is dooired that the building should be com-

156
pleted by September, 1908. The building is beautiful in design and when finished will be one of the most complete college dormitories in the South. That this building is greatly needed is proved by the fact that 364 students were refused admission to the college during the past year because of a lack of dormitory room.
THE NEW INDUSTRIAL BUILDING.
The Chappell Industrial Building was completed on May 7, 1907. This structure is beautiful in architecture, and admirably adapted to the needs of the institution. The entire second floor of the bulIding is devoted to the Household Arts and Sciences (including Sewing, Millinery, Dressmaking, Cooking, etc.). It is believed that the advantages offered in this department will not be surpassed in the South. "One of the prime aims of the college has been to fit the young- women of Georgia for proper homemaking by giving them a careful and thorough course of instruction in such branches as Cooking, Household Economics, Home Sanitation, Sewing, Dressmaking, etc. It has been exceedingly grattJying to observe that these studies, which make for domestic utility, have become each succeeding year more and more popular with the students, and recently there has perhaps been more growth and progress in this direction than in any other department of the' college."
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, o.r 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

151
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:
1. 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 one 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 higher branches of learning.
S. To be skillful and expert in those domestic arts that lie at the foundation of all successful housekeeping and homemaking.
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. 3. The Industrial Department. 4. The Music and Fine Arts Department.
NORMAL DEPARTMENT.
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:
1. Broad and accurate scholarship. 2. Professional knowledge. 3. Skill in the practice of teaching.

152
The first of these requisites, namely, broad and accurate scholarship, 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.
COltrSe 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 themselves for the vocation of teaching that broad, liberal and accurate scholarship which is requisite to the education of 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.

153
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 istruction 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, color-study, design, modeling in clay, instrumental drawing, basketry, etc.
DEpARTMENT OF DOMESTIC SCIENCE.
Character arn.d Aims of the Work.
That group of subjects which bears upon the life and administration of the house is coming into great prominence in educational work, and is known variously as household science, household economics, science of the home and domestic science. As the last named 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 inv-estigation 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

154
tc 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 Gonditions of living within the reach of many women who must be home-makers, in'stead of leaving 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 teach iog 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.
DEPARTMENT oF' MUSIC.
The GeQrgia 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 Mi11e~evi11e for a form of application. This

155

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.

REPORT OF STATE NORMAL SCHOOL.
ATHENS, GA., April 24, 1908.
H on. ]. M. Pound, S. S. C,) Atla,nta, Ga.
DEAR SIRS: I have the honor to submit to you a report of the State Normal School for the fourteenth annual session, closing June I, 1908.
ATTENDANCE.
Students registered to date, April 24th, 475; pupils in Muscogee Elementary School, 110; total attendance, 585; teachers in Faculty, twenty-nine; teachers and officers, thirty-four; counties represented by students, ninety-seven; students holding diplomas from other schools, 116; students holding first grade licenses, fifty-one; second grade, eighty-six; third grade, thirty-eight; students having experience in teaching, 189; students who earned the money they spend here, 176. Sixty per cent. of our students are the sons and daughters of
farmers. Total registration since the founding 6 the school,
7,081; graduating class this year numbers forty-five; total graduates. to June I, 197,386.
GRADUATE STUDENTS.
Students holding diplomas from the University Accredited High Schools are offered here a two-year course for graduation. You will notice that about twenty-five per cent. of our student body are graduate students. The following schools are represented by graduates in the student body of the State Normal School: Georgia Military College, Palmer Institute, Lucy Cobb Institute, North Georgia Agricultural College, Martin Institute, Effingham Institute, Douglasville College, State Normal School, Glynn Academy, Wesleyan Female College, Grady Institute, Pierce Institute; Perry-Rainey College,

DEMAND FOR TEACHERS.
The demand on us for teachers is overwhelming. It is so, however, in every State in the Union. The scarcity of teachers is a national problem. We have, been called on by letter for 476 teachers since the closing of the session of 1907. This school ought to be graduating four hundred teachers every year instead of forty, and this number would be small whtm we consider that nearly two thousand new teachers go into the common school corps every year. All of this means, of course, that we need more, dormitories, more academic buildings, morc dining-room space, larger kitchen facilities. The State can well afford to give us these. INo cotton mill directors would invest two million dollars in an enterprise and the,nturn it over to raw, untrained help. No more ought a State, common sense and business judgment considered, invest two million dollars in common schools, and then turn them ove,r to raw, untrained teachers. The tim~ has come for Georgia to magnnify, and dignify, and glorify common school teachers and teaching.

158
'l'HE RELATION OF THE SCHOOL TO COMMON SCHOOLS IN GEORGIA.
More than 95 per cent. of the 7,081 students who have registered here since the founding ,of the school, have gone back to teach in the common schools in their communities and counties. Correspondence with our graduates discloses the fact that rather more than 80 per cent. of them have been teaching in the village and rural schools of the State. Every dollar appropriated by the Legislature to this school multiplies many times over the value of every othe-r dollar spent in common school education.
GROWTH OF THE SCHOOL.
In the last seven years the faculty has grown from nine teachers to twenty-nine, or more than 300 per cent. We began thirteen years ago with one building, the old Rock College, which served as dormitory, dining-room, kitchen, president's cottage, and recitation-room. There are now seven brick buildings, together with three small new wooden buildings. Toward this development in buildings, the State has contributed only $46,50. Generous friends have contributed, in addition, $I25,000. We are this year asking an increase in our maintenance fund of $6,000, making a total 6f $36,000 in all. We are also asking special appropriations for building purposes, steam he-at, fire protection, an infirmary, repairs and equipments, to the amount of $41,600. If the Legislature will give us this amount, we will be able, we think, to add at least $22,500 from outside sources. In which event the State can hardly afford not to help the school generously.
PURPOSES OF THE SCHOOL.
We are training teachers' for the common schools of the State, and we are doing this with an eye single to this end. For this reason we are gradually increasing the opportunities

159
for academic scholarship here, and a main part of this work is thorough reviewing of the common school subjects, with view to teaching them. There are four common school review classes which teachers may enter at any time during the year when they can get away from their schools. The courses offered are intensive, not extensive, the aim being thoroughness of scholarship. At the same time there are' eight teachers in the Faculty who devote themselves to the theory and practice ot teaching. The Practice School has 110 children in it, with six teachers and all the grades of the common school work.
COURSES OFFERED.
The school aims at setting a highwater-mark in the training of teachers. Georgia's normal schools must be just as good as the normal schools of any other State in the Union. For this reason the following courses are offered: The ordinary academic courses, common school music, with chorus work; instrumental music, elementary Agriculture, domestic arts and .sciences, manual arts, and physical culture.
THE LIBRARY.
Eight years ago we had ortly 47 volumes upon our library shelves. We have now nearly 5,000 volumes-numbering no dead or useless book: We expect to break ground in the fall for a new library costing at least $10,000, and possibly $20,000. It will be an immense multiplication of the culture value of the school. We could not have had this building but for the active intervention of generous, good friends.
THE UNOFFICIAL LIFE 01" THE SCHOOL.
All students know, of course, that a very large part of the value of student life comes out of that part of it which they themselves originate and control. The students' organizations here have been founded, in every instance, upon the noblest of

160
purposes. We have no Greek-letter fraternities, but we do have efficient Y. W. C. A. and Y. M. C. A. organizations; Bible study classes in every donnitory; the Millie Rutherford Literary Society; the Altioria Literary Society; the Eugenia Davis Girls' Debating Society; the Jeffersonian Literary Society (boys); the Freshman Boys'Debating Society; the Athletic Association; tennis clubs, basket-ball clubs; a school orchestra of fifteen pieces; and last (I had almost said best of all), the Saturday Night Round Table, and the Earnest Boys' Club. These are all wholesome, valuable features of resident school life here. It is inspiring to see how quickly new students come into the noble purposes of this student body. The student of improper or unworthy spirit is exceedingly rare here. We are not concerned with students wl10 study too little. Such students are not here, or do not stay here very long. A nagging, never-ending anxiety is the protection of our students against overwork. The worries of discipline are comparatively nothing. It is a pleasure to say that we have never had a young man in this school who has behaved in improper or unseemly way-a most remarkable statement concerning coeducation, but at least true of the State Normal School of Georgia.
ExpENSES.
When you consider that a dollar in 1907 purchased no more of the necessaries of life than fifty-five cents would do in 1900 (as shown by a recent Government report), the expenses of a student for a year i'n this school look almost unbelievably ::mal1. The registration fee, the charges for rooms, table board, light, heat, water, telephones, servant hire, laundering, trained nursing, library facilities, and what not, make altogether a total of less than $120.00 for the nine school months. Most of our students go through the year upon an expense like this. This school offers a maximum of opportunities for education and culture for a minimum charge.

The school bulletin and the special department bulletins will be promptly sent by addressing the registrar of this school-:Miss Emmie Jones.

THE GEORGIA STATE COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURE AND DISTRICT AGRICULTURAL AND MECHANICAL ARTS SCHOOLS-COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURE.
By ANDREW M. SOULE) PRESIDENT. .
INTRODUCTION.
The Georgia State College of Agriculture was organized nnder the provisions of the Conner bill on June 10, 1907. This institution is an outgrowth of the old State College of Agriculture and Mechanic Arts, which was foundeel as !a coordinate department of the University of Georgia on May I, 1872, upon the transference of the funds arising from the sale of Georgia's interest in the land scrip to the trustees of the University. Its further endowment was made possible, from time to time; by additional appropriations provided through the generosity of the Federal Government. The State, however, realizing that agriculture represented its principal industry, decided by legislative enactmerit to further differentiate and endow the work of the Agricultural College in order that it might more fully-serve the chief interests of all the people of the State.
THE AGRICULTURAL BUILDING.
The grounds of the Georgia State College of Agriculture proper are situated about half a mile from the present center -of the University. The new agricultural building now nearing completion is located on Compton Hill, which will ultimately constitute a part of the greater campus. It is 264 feet long by 72 feet wide and three stories in height. It is con-

164

structed of buff pressed brick, with a red tiled roof. The

trimmings are of Bedford limestone and terra-cotta, The

building, while plain and substantial, is very attractive in ap-

pearance, arid designed especially for instruction in agricul-

ture and the conduct of research work. This building win

furnish excellent facilities for the work of the College of

Agriculture, and will be ready for occupancy next September.

The new building contains the executive offices of the col-

lege, and the offices, class-rooms and laboratories of the de-

partments of agriculture, agricultural chemistry, animal hus-

bandry, dairy husbandry, agronomy, rural engineering, bac-

teriology, botany, entomology, veterinary medicine. Ample

provision has been made for an agricultural library and read-

ing room, and there is an auditorium with a seating capacity

of 550. The building will be heated by steam and lighted by

electricity, and have the necessary refrigerating apparatus for

the manufacture of dairy products. When completed and

equipped it will furnish a fitting home for the students of the

State College of Agriculture, and those charged with the ad-

ministration of its work; a home which, lacking in the past,.

has been responsible in large measure for the failure of agri-

cultural education to make more substantial progress in the

State.

.

THE COI<LEGE PARM.
Extending in the rear ~f the building for more than a mile lies the college farm, consisting of 900 acres. This land is diversified in character; some of it is rough and broken, while other sections are quite level br slightly undulating. Portions are well wooded and a diversity of soils is found, which is most desirable as it will enable tests to be made which will be applicable to the soil types found in many sections of the State. The farm 'has been accurately surveyed and mapped; first, with the idea of beautifying it as fast as funds become avail-

165
able by laying out the necessary roads and walks and locating such additional buildings as.will be required from time to time with due regard to desirable landscape effects; and, second, by the United States Department of Agriculture, so that all the soil types found might be defined and their physical characters ascertained. Thus, when experiments are undertaken, combining a chemical study of the soil.s results of accuracy and value may be expected.
BARNS AND LIVE STOCK.
Insufficiency of funds to erect suitable barns and purchase live stock and implements will prevent the development of the farm with any degree of rapidity. It will take several years of strenuous endeavor to put the farm in an ideal condition, and the expenditure of considerable sums of money, but when this end is accomplished', the Georgia State College of Agriculture will have a satisfactory location and a farm as well adapted to its needs as could be wished for by its most ardent supporters. In the meantime the board of trustees have authorized the erection of a temporary dairy barn and a barn for the department of field investigations. These structures have now been completed, and serve the ends for which they ~ere designed fairly well. The dairy barn will house thirty cows. A good foundation has been laid for a dairy herd, and it is proposed to demonstrate the profitable character of dairy industries in this State. Already there are representatives of both Jerseys and Holsteins in the herd, and it is making a gratifying economic record. A record will also be kept of all the crops produced on the farm. Thus, the dairy and farm together will be made of the greatest scientific and practical value to the students .of the college, demonstrating to them the necessity and value of agricultural training of the right type.

166
THE DEMONSTRATION FIELD.
A field of twenty acres has been set aside for experimental work. This area of land has been subdivided into mot:"e than
1,000 plat~ ranging in size from 1150 to 'IlIa of an acre,
which means that more than 1,000 questions of both scientific and practical value to the students and farmers of the State will be asked of the soil each year. Through the medium of this experimental field nature is constantly being asked questions, and n,ew facts of interest brought to light by actual field hosts; the value of principles and theories developed t~rough lCiboratory research is determined, and thus the education of the student is made more perfect and complete, since he receives insfruction not only in theory in the class-room, but has the underlying scientific principles fully demonstrated to him ,in the laboratory and sees the actual results which follow the application of these principles in farm practice.
Much attention will be given in the demonstration field to the development of strains of cotton, corn and other farm crops of superior merit to those ordinarily grown. This will enable the student to learn much of the principles of selection and plant breeding, and will result, it is hoped, in the development of useful varieties for distribution in limited quantities to the farmers of the State'. The relation of fertilizers to crop productions, the influence of various methods of cultivation, crop rotations and the merits of new and interesting varieties of farm crops will be fully tested in the experimental field, and made not only a part of the knowledege of. the student body, but the results will be prepared in manuscript form and distributed free of cost to the farmers of the State.
THE NEED OF LEADERSHIP.
Since agriculture is the State's chief industry and the problems which confront the farmer of a subtle and peculiar character, it is now generally recognized that our progress in the

167
future will be determined, not by bringing new areas of virgin soil under cultivation and ruthlessly exhausting the same, but by placing within the reach of all who till the soil accurate and definite knowledge relating to their vocation. To accomplish this there must be some institution of outstanding importance to train the necessary leaders for a work of such an important character. This institution must also be sufficiently endowed to permit of its undertaking research work of an extensive and comprehensive nature. The steam pressure on the boiler can not be maintained except by constantly adding fuel to the firebox; neither can the stream of knowledge be augmented or broadened in its scope except by diligent, exhaustive and longcontinued investigation. Briefly stated, then, the object of the State College of Agriculture is, first, to prov,ide leadership; second, to open up an avenue through which the young men of the State may acquire that correct and definite training with special reference to agriculture, which is now recognized as necessary to insure the highest success; third, to conduct experiments in order that more and more useful information may be discovered and made available to mankind; fourth, to assist in scattering these fundamental facts broadcast throughout the commonwealth through the agency of educational trains, traveling schools of agriculture, itinerant teachers, farmers' institutes and extension teaching.
At the outset it is well to realize that agricultural education is the most expensive of all types. Why? Because it em~ braces theoretical or class-room instruction, laboratory or applied instruction, and practical demonstration, which can only be successfully accomplished where a large farm, orchards, gardens, barns and special equipmen.t of an expensive character can be maintained. The costly nature of agricultural training, and the fact that it is based on a number of the most widely known sciences, is one of the chief reasons why it has not made greater progress in the past, for in order to teach the

168
humanities it was only considered necessary to have a classroom, blackboard and an instructor. Since it has been amply demonstrated that agricultural education will repay $r,ooo for every dollar invested, it should not be difficult to convince those who have hesitated to patronize it liberally in the past :to not only favor the money needed for the proper support and maintenance of an institution of this kind, but to benefit by the information it stands ready to impart to the youth of the State when properly equipped and manned.
COURSES OF STUDY.
The courses of study offered in a well-organized and coordinated college of agriculture will be first of a liberal and cultural character. There must of necessity be a four-years' course, as men can not be trained sufficiently to impart instruction to others during a shorter period of time. There should be post-graduate work provided for, so that men may develop their ability as investigators and familiarize themselves by that close application and continuous endeavor which is necessary in order to achieve success. There should be a two-years' course of a more practical nature than the four years' course, and there may very properly be a one-year's course of a more practical character even than the two-years' course. These courses will enable young men of limited means to acquire at least the practical training and general insight into the relation of science to successful agricultural practice which is necessary in order that they may read intelligently when they leave college and so keep abreast of the times. Courses of this character will also give an entirely different bent and point of view to a man's activities through life, and . if they did nothing more than broaden the horizon and enable him to grasp a few elementary, scientific principles, they would. be invaluable.
There must also be short courses; or special courses, for

169
-farmers during the winter season; courses such as were offeroed in the Cotton School, and which we hope to see expanded ;;another year so as to take in the corn-grower, the stockman, the plant breeder and the horticulturist. When these various '{:ourses can be properly organized and maintained, the college ~of agriculture will become an effective agency in developing -:the commonwealth and inspiring our farmors to improve their practice in a hundred different ways. History repeats itself, ,and the success of agricultural colleges organized along rational lines and properly supported by the people of the State they are designed to serve shows us that the same results may be anticipated in Georgia.
THE SUBJEcTS TAUGHT.
What should be taught in the College of Agriculture may ,[lOW properly be considered. Briefly enumerated, the subjects are as follows:
I. Agriculture: Study of soils and their' primary con:stituents.
2., Agricultural Chemistry: Composition of plant and :.anin~al bodies, and their relation to growth and nutrition.
,3. Cotton Industries: Detailed study of the history, growth, improvement and disposition of cotton and its various by-products.
4. Horticulture: Gardening, orcharding and fruit production.
5. Animal Husbandry: Study of breeds, feeding and -management of live stock.
<.6. Animal Breeding: Origin and improvement of species. 7. Dairy Husbandry: Handling of milk and manufacture 'Of butter and cheese. 8. Veterinary Science: Management of animals in health and disease. 9. Farm Engineering: Construction of farm buildings,

170
operation and repair of machinery, drainage and irrigation problems.
10. Agricultural Biology: Study of useful plants and: their improvement and adaptability.
11. Entomology: Control a'nd eradication of predaceous insects.
12. Agricultural Bacteriology: Control of plant diseases. 13. Forestry: Care and preservation of forest areas. 14. Extension Department: Placing the fundamentali truths befor~ "the masses.
FUNDS NEEDED FOR EQUIPMENT AND MAINTENANCE.
The need of the Georgia State College of Agriculture at thepresent time is proper financial support and men of the highest type to place in charge of the various departments of instruction and research, which must be maintained if it is to be an institution of the greatest service to our farmers. The college must have a maintenance fund of at least $50,000 a year, and' since no appropriation was made by the Legislature in 1907, the board will l1aturally have to ask for the reimbursement of the cost of maintaining the colleg~ during the past year. Since the present institution is withotJt equipment, suitable barns and various other buildings necessary for the carrying on of" its work along scientific and economic lines, the need of additional funds for this purpose will be apparent to all who win pause to consider the situation carefully, or who will take the time to investigate and ascertain the real needs of this new institution now in its formative condition. It is estimated by those who have studied the matter and should be in position to furnish expert information, that $50,000 will be needed for this purpose during the present year. These figures, considered collectively, may seem to call for the expenditure of 3! large sum of money, but when all the items of expense are considered, it wiH be seen to be a small amount; much smaller~

171
indeed, than many States with much less wealth than Georgia are appropriating at the present time. When you consider that this money is to provide salaries for the professors; postage and stationery; furniture and fixtures; laboratory and farm equipment; heat, light and water; maintenance of experimental work, and traveling and contingent expenses, the sum does not look so large. , When you realize that a professor worth having can not be secured for less than $2,000 to $2,500 a year, and that as much more is needed for his department if he is to be a really serviceable agent of the institution in learning new facts from,nature, it is easy to see that $50,000 dwindles away very rapidly.
The organization noted on a previous page called for the establishment of some fifteen departments, and each one of these on a very modest estimate should have at least $5,000 at its command. The board of trustees and the administrative authorities of the college realize the State's limitations and would not be considered extravagant nor accused of the desire to inflict a heavy burden on the taxpayer, but since it has been shown that the funds asked for are simply an investment which will be repaid a thousandfold to the State in the course of time, no such conclusion can be properly drawn by any rational-minded person. On the other hand, unless the amount of money actually needed to render the organization of the institution effective is asked for, those charged with its conduct are not doing their proper duty by the people of the State. Fifty thousand dollars is a beggarly sum to devote to the State's greatest industry, when it is considered that millions are lost every year because our farmers are not in possession of knowledge by which these losses could and would be averted. One-ninetieth part of the State's revenue is surely a small enough sum to set aside for the cause of agricultural education. The wealth of Georgia is increasing rapidly, and one-tenth of a mill on the taxable wealth would more than

17~
provide for the needed support of the College of Agriculture. Surely, there is not a man paying taxes on $500 who would not be willing to contribute five cents to the cause of agricultural education; while the man who pays taxes on $10,000 would only be called on to contribute $1. Of the fourteen Southern States, including West fVirginia, Georgia ranks fourth in wealth. Financially, she is in much better condition than many States which are making large appropriations for agricultural instruction. Georgia is financially able to support her agricultural college liberally, and if ilhe does so she will reap a rich harvest therefrom.
At this juncture, it may be proper to state that Missouri gives $85,000 a year to her College of Agriculture and $40,000 to her Experiment Station. South Carolina gives the fertilizer tag tax, which is more than $160,000 annually. Texas appropriated for the biennial period more than $177,000 to her A. & M. College. Alabama has recently given $175,000 a year for a period of four years to her A. & M. College and State University. The buildings and equipment of the Virginia College and Station are valued at $200,000. Minnesota has an investment of $684,000 in buildings devoted strictly to agricultural education, ~nd it costs $100,000 a year to maintain her College of Agriculture. She has, however, 1,000 students, because she has made a sufficient investment to demonstrate the practicability of agricultural education, and has organized her agricultural college on such a dignified and comprehensiv~ basis as to give it a standing throughout the length and breadth of the commonwealth.
These are but a few scattered cases cited to show what other States are doing, and to indicate the possibilities which may be placed within the reach of the youth of Georgia at a comparatively small cost and within a reasonable period of time, if the farmers of the State, through the Legislature, see proper to support and maintain the only institution of higher learning' in the State designed to serve and promote their interests.

173
HOW EDUCATION HELPS THE FARMER.
It is the aim, object and purpose of agricultural education to ameliorate and improve the condition of the farmer; to show him how by taking advantage of this or that weakness of nature; or through the correct application of a principle in mathematics, physics or chemistry he may render nature subservient to him, and at the same time lessen his labors and increase his profits. It was the failure in the past to apply the principles of agricultural education to solving the problems of the farmer that has led him to fear education in almost all forms, and to brand agricultural education, with peculiar fervor, as of an impractical character. Love and esteem and appreciation come from association and good fellowship. They are the outgrowths of confidence. They are the result of help of an appreciable character. So long was agricultural education remote from the farmer, and failed to serve him, it is little wonder that he regarded it with contempt. When it becomes llis handmaiden and he understands how materially it can assist in solving his problems, in bettering the conditions of his existence, he will embrace it with open arms. Just now we are undergoing such a transition in Georgia. Just now our farmers are beginning to realize that the cumulative knowledge of past ages will unlock to them a store of informatior; of the most helpful character; a store of information in fact which will wipe out with one. fell blow from their imagination a thousand misapprehensions under which they have labored in the past.
It is only now that the farmer is beginning to realize that he uses daily in his practice truths that are of vital and farreaching importance to him. All that we know, for instance, of commercial fertilizers is attributable to the advancement of the science of chemistry and to the efforts of our colleges or agriculture and the experiment stations. It is not uncommon to hear a farmer speaking of gathering nitrogen from the

174
air through the action of certain bacteria which live in the nodules on the roots of leguminous plants. This discovery, worth a sum of money represented by infinity to the ages of the world, past and present, is the contribution of a student of agricultural problems to the advancement of our civilization.
The foregoing statement illustrates how wide-spread has become the knowledge of some scientific principles which are of vast economic importance to the farmer. Dozens of other cases equally graphic could be cited as well did space allow. In view of the fears of farmers with reference to agricultural education, let us consider the subject briefly from a utilitarian standpoint, and see if this type of education has not now become a necessity to the tiller of the soil. Let us review what has been accomplished and see if science and practice must not go hand in hand in order that the farmer may gather from the soil ever-increasing stores of food and materials suited, on the one hand, for the better sustenance and nutrition of humanity, and, on the other hand, for clothing and bodily comforts of the race. Let us see if the aid of science is not essential to solving many of the problems which have constituted unsurmountable obstacles to progress and which have blocked effectually man's efforts for years and years, and yet which rightly approached and investigated have yielded as readily and as quickly to human artifice as snow on a May day Only a few illustrations can be here incorporated to show the potent influences which agricultural education has exerted on the welfare and progress of the human race, but these will be sufficient to demonstrate to any unbiased mind the valu~ of this character of training.
In 1889 the State of Wisconsin established a dairy school in connection with its State College of Agriculture. At the present time there are more than 45,(X)(),oOO pounds of cheese produced in that State each year, and the factories are chiefly

175
managed by graduates of the dairy school. In this dairy school boys from the rural districts were taught how to handle milk 3.nd manufacture it into butter and cheese. They were shown how to select and feed dairy cows. The courses were inexpensive and covered a few months during the winter season when farm operations were at a standstill. Yet out of the investment of a few thousand dollars has been built up a great industry that has given to the commonwealth an international reputation which has brought immense wealth to the people of the State and transformed millions of acres of wild land' into prosperous and happy homes. This result was brought about by simply applying the known scientific principles to the solution of the dairyman's problems and reducing dairying to a practical and exact science. What has been accomplished in Wisconsin can certainly be accomplished in Georgia. It is the object and purpose of the Cotton School, to which reference has been made elsewhere, to do a similar work in this State, and with the right kind of support and encouragement and the patronage of the farmers, there is no question as to the ultimate outcome.
In certain selections of potatoes made by the writer, it was found that a large number of strains only yielded at the rate of about one hundred and twenty-five bushels per acre, but one strain was found which yielded at the rate of two hundred and seventy-five bushels. The principles of selection involved are easy of appreciation by any farmer if they are only called to his attention. Yet ~he increased yield obtained through locating and emphasizing the right individual strain of potatoes increased the yield one hundred and fifty bushels per acre. Does it not seem that education which will place within the reach of the farmer's boy the power to multiply his efforts and increase the profits from his handiwork in this ration is a necessity to the farmer?
It is surprising to find how little we know of the influence

176
of climate and soil on our farm crops, and yet how vital these influences may be to our success. For instance, Blue Ridge wheat, when grown in Tennessee, stood twentieth on the list of varieties; when grown in Virginia, it stood first. Poole,. which stood thirtieth on the list in Virginia, was first in Tennessee. Niger was third in Tennessee, and twenty-third in Virginia. The distance between the two locations where these tests were made was 243 miles, and the difference in elevation above sea level less than r,200 feet. Yet, it was clearly demonstrated that the varieties adapted to one location wer~ utterly unsuited to the other. Do we not waste every year thousands upon thousands0f dollars in trying to grow varieties of cot- ~ ton, com and other farm crops unsuited to our local conditions? This experiment certainly shows that such is the case. \\That a woful waste of human effort that might be averted if we would only organize our agricultural educational fqrces along the right lines and set science to work through the right channels to solve these problems so vital to the welfare of our farmers.
It has been demonstrated that plowing under a legume will increase the yield of Irish potatoes as much as thirty-seven bushels per acre. Yet the farmer tries to buy commercial nitrogen at eighteen cents a pound to take the place of that which he can obtain free from the air through the use of legumes.
It has been shown conclusively that the farmer may feed alfalfa or clover hay within certain limitations, which he can make at a cost of $3.00 to $5.00 per ton, to dairy cows in place of wheat-bran, which costs him $25.00 a ton. It has been shown that we can' make cowpea hay without serious difficulty through the use of triangles under the cocks and hay-caps to protect the top from rain. This hay will sell at from $r8.00 to $20.00 a ton. Yet many a farmer is buying his supply from theWest.

177
It has been shown that a bushel of corn alone will only make 8.2 pounds of pork; when fed with 44.4 pounds of linseed-meal, as much as 32.4 pounds, or a difference of 24.2' pounds in favor of the balanced ration.
It has been shown that hogs may dress out from 72 to 82 per cent. of the-ir live weight, according to how they are bred and fed; that it costs only from one-third to one-half as much to make a pound of pork as a pound of beef; that, whereas cattle consumje from twelve to thirteen pounds of dry matter for a pound of gain, hogs consume only four to five pounds.
It has been shown that through seed selection the yield of cotton and corn may be increased from ~fty to one hundred per cent.; also that through the home-mixing of fertili'zers, the farmer may save as much as $5.00 to $6.00 a ton, or, in the aggregate, more than the cost of maintaining an agricultural college for years to come.,
It has been shown that while native steers only gain from
1
1.3 to 1.8 pounds per head per day, that high-grade' steers, the result of a pure-bred sire crossed on native cows, will gain from 2 to 2.20 pounds per day. Also that the cost of the gain on these two classes of stock will vary from 4.5 to IS cents, ~nd the amount of grain required for a pound of gain from 3.6 to rr.8 pounds.
We know that the average dairy cow in Georgia is worth $16.81, and that she probably gives less than 2,500 pounds of milk a year, and does not make over 125 pounds of butter. A cow under the writer's charge last year made 12,500 pounds of milk and 254 pounds of butter in a single lactation period. The profit on the milk at twenty cents a gallon was $201.05; on the butter at twenty-five cents a pound, $41.51. What a contrast; yet the difference was due to the exercise of principles which any boy trained in an agricultural college calli easily master.

The enormous loss caused annually by the potato scab, anthracnose of cotton, and the depredations of many insect pests can be mitigated, and, in many instances. practi-cally overcome through the application of scientific truths now known but not appreciated by the farmer. For instance, the blight of potato can be controlled by spraying with copper sulphate; five sprayings have been, known to increase the yield 233 bushels per acre and practically avert the destruction of the crop.
PROGRESS OF THE COLLEGE DURING 1907.
As previously stated, the Legislature failed to pass a maintenance fund for the college during the, session of 1907. This temporary difficulty was overcome by the patriotic action of the Board of Trustees in borrowing sufficient funds to maintain the work of the college until the next session of the Legislature. The action of the board was based on the belief that the organization and maintenance of the college was vital to the best interests of the people of the State, and that they would appreciate and justify the action taken in view of the difficult situation in which they were placed. In spite of the fact that the expenses were scaled down in every direction as closely as possible, substantial progress has been made during the year, and a report of the work accomplished may, therefore, not be inappropriate at this time.
The wo'rk has, of. course, been seriously hampered because of insufficient funds to organize certain departments essential to the well-being of any agricultural college, and we have had to refuse to undertake the inauguration of certain lines of investigation and teaching activities because of this fact. Nevertheless, the college started off well last fall so far as attendance was concerned, there being thirty students in the regular four-years' course, and forty in the one-year course. These students were as representative as any similar group

179
attending the University, and if all goes well there should be a number of men graduate next year capable of filling important positions in the State with credit and satisfaction to all the parties interested. The value of the training received by these young men and those who may come in the future will be greatly enhanced when additional buildings and the necessary scientific equipment for the organization of various laboratories are provided. Since the numbers attending the State College indicate the growing interest and belief of the farmers and their boys in the value of agricultural education, it is devoutly to be hoped that the equipment needed to further stimulate and inspire those pursuing this type of education may be provided at the earliest possible date.
Including the men attending the Cotton School of which mention is made later, 175 men pursued some form of agri'Cultural instruction for a longer or shorter period of time in the University last year. This, we think, is rather a remarkable showing, all things considered, and should increase the faith of those who have been afraid of the practicability and .utility of agricultural education.
Attention is called to the remarkably low cost for which a young man may take a full collegiate course in the college. By rooming in the dormitories he can get through for acout :$150.00 to $175.00 a year, which is almost as cheaply as he could live at home. There is no institution with which the writer is familiar where young men can obtain 'a liberal scientific education in agriculture at a lower cost, and we believe if an adequate appropriation is secured that many young men ,of limited means can perform enough manual labor, which will also be of an instructional character, in the laboratories, barns and on the farm, to further reduce the cost. . Those who desire detailed information about the new courses of instruction and the special provisions made for agricultural students in the State College of Agriculture are requested to apply to

180
the writer for a special bulletin which will be gladly sent free of charge.
THE COTTON SCHOOL.
The first cotton school ever held was organized by the State College of Agriculture, January 6-17, 1908.. Since cotton is the main crop of the State, as well as of the South, it is fitting that an attempt should 8e made to put in pedagogic form tlne large amount of scientific information which has accumulated during recent years and which will aid materially in solving many of the farmers' mO:3t perplexing problems. The object of the school was to preset'lt this inf0rmation at a minimum of cost and in a concrete form so that the facts might be applied iuccessully in every-day work on the farm. Admission to this courile was free, a regi5tration fee of $1.00 being charged. to cover incidental expense~. The cost to the iiltudent~ therefore, cotlsistetl of board while in Athens, and railroad face, and since the railroad~ made a special rate for tha occa~ion, the COlt to the students coming from the most l'iil>tant
points wa~ not over $25.00, which means that a free course' of
over eighty hours of actual i.struction in the technique Qf cotton production and grading was provided to the farmers
of Georgia. There were 105 meA registered in this course
from fifty-four counties in the State. Their ages ranged from eighteen to sixty years. They were a representative body of students, aftd were gratied with the nature of the instruction provided, and unanimously voted for the continuance of the Cotton School. This is the best evidence that agricultural education of the right type meets the needs of the farmers of the Stat~, and shows how beneficial a service the College of Agriculture may render the 'farmers through the organization of practical courses of tilis character. The course wi1l~ therefoce be continued as a permanent feature of the work of the State College of Agriculture.

181
RESOLUTIONS PASSED BY COTTON' SCHOOL.
The manner in which the work of the Cotton School appealed to the large body of farmers wilo attended it is best set forth in the following resol1ttions which were unanimously passed by the' student body, and a committee of twelve men was appointed to present the needs of the College of Agriculture in person to the proper committees of the State Legislature.
"WHtREAS, the agricultural interests of Georgia have taken on more life from many viewpoints by her citizens taking up varied questions heretofore unnoticed by a majority of the farmers; and
WliEREAS, since the entire citizenship of Georgia, and more especially that of the farmers, depends on agricultural education; and
WHEREAS) it is our opinion that it behooves us as farmer-s to seek an avenue through which the people's interest may receive support from the State; therefore, be it
Resolved) That we, as Georgia farmers, commend the work of the Cotton School held under th(l auspices of the State College of Agriculture, and ask for a continuance of this character of instruction. Through the medium of schools of this kind information of inelltimable service and of a high practical value can be disseminated to the farmers of the State.
Resolved)' That we, as Georgia farmers and students, have had opportunity through our contact with the State College of Agriculture and through the medium of the Cotton School to gain an insight into the possibilities of agricultural education for the amelioration of the condition of the farmers of the State.
We realize that the College of Agriculture, properly organized, will earn an increment of surprising magnitude on any funds the State may place at its disposal.
We realize that through the development of an extel16ion

18~
bureau it can reach and assist materially many of OUr agricultural interests, and thousands of our people who possibly can not attend courses of instruction at Athens.
We realize that it may be made the medium of assisting materially in the development of our district schools and in placing information in the hands of our teachers, which will enable them to give proper courses of instruction in the public and rural schools of the State.
It is impossible to estimate the value, not only to the farmer, but to every vested interest of the State, which will ultimately flow from the development of an agricultural institution which ,,;ill provide leadership for our farmers, and from a lack of which they have suffered so severely in the past.
Resolved further~ That we realize that agricultural education is expensive, and that to be most effective it must be. based on research; that there are hundreds of questions demanding solution for the welfare and advancement of our farmers, and that we realize through a strongly maintained and endowed , agricultural college that many of these problems can be solved at no distant date.
Resolved fUirther~ That in view of the fact that the College of Agriculture has no funds at its disposal at the present time, that it is not properly equipped with buildings, laboratories and the necessary facilities for instruction and research, that we request that the Legislature of the State at its next session make an appropriation of $50,000 a year for the maintenance of the college from any funds which may be available in the State treasury; that we ask for a special appropriation of $50,000 with which to complete and equip the Agricultural Hall now in process of erection, and for a special appropriation to payoff the indebtedness that the college incurred by reason of the failure of the last session of the Legislature to make an appropriation for its maintenance during the fiscal year I907-08.

183
Inasmuch as the income of the State is approximatflly $5,000,000 a year, it is certainly not asking too much that one-hundredth part of this revenue be set aside for the main,.. tenance of agricultural education, which is the backbone of this State.
We earnestly commend these resolutions to your attention, since they represent the views of more than one hundred thoughtful farmer students from every section of the State of Georgia."
THE EDUCATIONAL TRAIN.
The object of the educational train was to arouse an interest in the value of agricultural education and to call the attention of the people of the State to some of the great mistakes in agricultural practice which could be remedied, and to show wherein the farmer through a knowledge which might be placed within his reach with but slight cost might add to the productive values of the State fully $43,000,000 a year. The train was run to confer with the farmers and the children who are to be the future landowners of the State, because they could not come to the college, and there was no other way in which to call their attention to the vast amount of useful information which might be made of inestimable service to them except through personal contact such as the train afforded. The train was provided free of cost by the railroads, and consisted of a baggage car and two passenger coaches. The baggage car was filled with educational exhibits. The passenger coaches were used as lecture rooms in favorable weather, though most of the talking had to be done outside on account of the large number of people present. Among the subjects discussed were seed selection with the idea of improving corn and cotton, the mixing and application of fertilizers, the feeding and handling of farm stock, care of orchards, gardens and trt,tck patches, insects and fungi attacking cotton and other

184
farm crops, the value of agricultural education, the best methods of. handling and utilizing cotton and cottonseed by-products. The train left Athens on February roth and returned March 14th, being gone a period of thirty-four days. During that time it visited 150 towns and cities situated in some 125 counties. It traveled over 6,000 miles, and addresses were made to more than 150,000 people. Fully 25,000 circulars of information were distributed. About 1,000 speeches varying from fifteen minutes to one hour in length were made, four to six on the average being delivered at each stop. The crowds varied in size from 300 to 5,000. On not more than two or three occasions were there as few as 300 persons present, and though the weather was execrable on a number of occasions and undoubtedly interfered with the attendance, farmers came twenty and thirty miles to meet the train. Though it made its first stop at eight o'clock in the morning and the last one at four-thirty in the afternoon, the crowds were frequently as large then as at any other time, though it is certain a majority of. those coming from the country had to leave home before daylight, and would not reach home until long after night.
The trip revealed many practices which can and should be remedied, and will be as soon as their undesirable nature is more fully understood. For instance, it was shown that the major portion of the fertilizer now applied is of a low-grade character, and that on an average not more than 200 pounds of a 2-8-2 fertilizer is used per acre. This would supply four pounds of nitrogen, sixteen pounds of phosphoric acid, and four pounds of potash, which constitutes a very small proportion of the total amount removed from the soil by any of our leading crops, and since our lands are badly depleted in many instances and not in good mechanical or physical condition, it is apparent that the application of such a small amount of a low-grade f~rtilizer, containing a very considerable amount

185
()f filler, is a poor busines. proposition on the part of the
farmer, and accounts in large measure for the low yields me
:so frequently obtains. The information disseminated relative to the mixing and application of fertilizers will in itself confer <enormous benefits on the farmers of the State.
It was reported that in many instances 60 per cent. 0< the bolls developing in the field last year were destroyed by anthracnose, and in other localities that no cotton was gathered .at all. Think of the labor and effort involved in preparing, fertilizing and seeding cotton, and then reaping nothing, when the farmer was chiefly responsible for the disaster overtaking 1Jim, because he used diseased seed from year to year on his land. It is a well-known fact that some varieties of cotton ;are more resistant to anthracnose than others; that it is pos:sible to select immune strain~ through persistent effort, and that this work may be performed on the average farm; that by rotating crops the spread of anthracnose may be held in 'Check; and through the purchaie of a hand gin the farmer may gather his seed from selected and disease-free plants and delint it and obtain strains of cotton not only largely resistant to anthracnose, but which will give him increased yieldii a~ well.
More that $18,000,000 are spent in Georgia every year for fertilizers; yet there are $150,000 worth of nitrogen resting oQver every acre of land in the State, and legumes may be grown in all sections. A crop of cowpeas may be grovyn and made into hay, and the refuse and leaves and stubble on tIote hnd will supply from six to ten times as much nitrogen as is now supplied in 200 pounds of a 2-8-2 fertilizer. The cowTea will improve the mechanical condition of the land, will make a profitable hay crop, and save the farmers several millions of dollars that are now spent for commercial nitrogen. Yet it was observed that li1any farmers did not understand the true value of the cowpea or other legumes, and were quite:

]86
unappreciative of their benefits as nitrogen gatherers. Irr. other words, it was quite evident that the farmers were grop-ing in the dark in many instances; that they were seeking the' light, but did not know in which direction to turn; and did not know how to overcome the difficulties with which they arecontending, and which are as effectually holding them in leash. as the dread tentacles of the devilfish do the prey which comes within their grasp.
It has been conservatively e~.1mated that the loss on cotton between the 1\lne the bolls open and when the lint is placed on the market amounts to more than $12,000,000 annually in this State There is undoubtedly a loss of $5,000,000 every year throLgh not utilizing cottonseed meal, first as a foodstuff and later as a fertilizer. Plant diseases, particularly anthracnose and black root, destroy at least $5,000,000 worth of cotton every year. A failure to use selected seed reduces the value of our farm crops by at least $5,000,000. The cattle tick is responsible for a loss of at least $3,000,000, and yet it can be eradicated in the course of a year or two at small cost. The neglect of live stock industries which necessitates the pu~chase of slaughtered animal products and live stock outside the State adds another $5,000,000 to the debit side of the ledger. Improved implements would save us at least $3,000,000, and the proper utilization of leguminous crops $5,000,000 more on the purchase of nitrogen, which might as well be taken from the air. This makes in all $43,000,000 a year, a large proportion of which will be saved when the truths of agricultural sci~nce now known and applicable to our farm conditions are as 'widely disseminated and as thoroughly appreciated as they should be. These figures are not presente.d in a spirit of captious criticism, or for the purpose of faull finding, but with the idea of directing public attention to the: tremendous potential loss which we suffer from not understanding nature's fundamental laws, and because of the failure

187
to appreciate the constructive and economic value of agricultural education.
A brief review of the aftermath of the train is interesting as showing the beneficial influence which it has exercised. Already a flood of inquiries are being received on every conceivable subject from all sections of the State and from all classes of citizens. This shows the widespread interest and the determination on the part of those interested in soil cultivation to avail themselves of the knowledge which the State College of Agriculture, through its staff, is both willing and anxious to place before them in a practical form. It is quite evident from the tone of these letters that a widespread appreciation of agricultural education is developing, and that public sentiment is changing entirely from one of prejudice and opposition to a firm belief in the benefits which it will confer upon the population as a whole. There is an evident thirst and seeking after information which is delightful to see. There i.:i a passing away of old myths and 'fables, and the practices of our forefathers, so common and earnestly revered, are being shaken and are giving away to new and progressive ideas. There is a vitalizing hope and inspiration in the atmosphere; a turning towards the light of knowledge; a determination to secure education and to succeed; a growing faith in the power of research to solve the problems of the farmer; a better appreciation of the relation of science to the solution of perplexing agricultural problems; an understanding of the possibilities of agricultural education when of the right type; a firm belief that man is no longer to be the servant of nature, but nature to be his servant when he knows and understands her peculiarities and makes her will subservient to his wishes.
This end, so desirable and so fraught with momentous possibilities to the future of the Commonwealth, can only be attained through the development. of agricultural education in the highest possible degree, and when that end is brought

188
ttbout there will be a conservation, and at the same time an exploitation aad development of the almost untouched resources of the State that will be marvelous to see, and whid:!. will have a widespread influence in giving the State that eminence and leadership among the sisterhood of which she fontle a part which all true citizens desire to see her attain.
EXTENSION TEACHING.
It is the purpose of the College of Agriculture to aid all educational activities of every kind which are being carried forward in the State. The fulfillment of this purpose is one of its greatest. obligations to the State, and every effort will be made to further the cause of extension teaching. Two great ends are to be subserved by work of this character; first, the iystematizing of the educational activities of the State and the raising of these to a higher level of efficiency ; second, tlae dissemination of useful knowledge which has accumulated in recent years, but is not now a part of the knowledge of the mass of th people and which can not be brought to the altention of adults and those remotely situated from the college save through ext~nsion agencies. This work has already bee1>l in progress in the Univer~ity proper to a considerable extent in the past, but it is now desired to broaden the efforts in this direction, and to reach the farmer of limited means in a practical and helpful manner. A distinct extension department
has not beeri organized in connection with the college up to
this time simply because of insuiicient funds to provide for its maintenance on lines commensurate with the activities it is designed to serve. A good beginning has been made, however, particularly in the line of farmers' institute work and through the movement of the educational train.
It is the desire and hope of those associated with the work of the College of Agriculture that it may be in positton next year to hold a number of what may be properly termed

189
itinerant schools of agricultwre for periods of from five to ten days in remote sections of the State. During the continuano~ of these schools practical lectures would be given on a variety of topics of especial interest to the community, and thus much helpful and valuable information made a part of the knowledge of the residents of that community. Ia other wor&, farmers could be brought intimately in contact with the latest information, for instance, relative to spraying, the protection of orchards and gardens and the management of live stock, without the time and cost entailed in attending a coune in the College of Agriculture proper. The benefits of a system of ~tension teaching of this character can neTer be accnrately estimated, but those who have seen the marvelous improVlliment in farm practice which has followed in the wake of feeble efforts in thi-s directiola in t.e past realize fully what a iYiltematic extension bureau would accomplish i. KtmUb.1illli: an interest in better method~ of farming.
Another form of extension ot especial import&1'l~ woel. be-
that associated with the e5tabli~hmeftt of school gardens &t the oounty seats throughout the State. By this mean+3 tlM t<:achers in the outlying territory might be brougltt in contacl with nature's laboratory, and so trained for a period of te. days to utilize the material which surrounds them as to greatly simplify the teaching of agriculture and its underlying scientific principles ~uccessfully in the public schoo15 of. the State. The good that would be accomplished by Ii mOTement of thiekind is inestimable, and yet the plan is both f'tlasible and prlicticable, and it is sincerely hoped that work: of this character can be undertaken at no distant date. The principal truths. with reference to the soil may be 5hown to the children by means of simple experiment~ made with inexpensive apparatus, and the principles of impro...ing farm crops may 1:l. illustrated through it study of tRe corn or cotton plllnt made either in the school garden or neighboring field. The teacher

J90
who knows how to utilize the material by which he is surrounded will find himself in a rich field indeed, while the school board for an outlay of some $10 or $15 can place within the teacher's reach apparatus by which he can assist in demonstrating two hundred simple truths to the children of the public schools. It would not be a costly undertaking to establish, say forty-six of these garden centers, and the work need not cover a period of more than ten days. By having these centers properly located throughout the State the cost to the teacher of obtaining the necessary information would be greatly reduced. Surely this is a point to be considered for there is no body of people who are entitled to more consideration than our teachers who are poorly paid, as a rule, for rendering the most important service to the Commonwealth it is possible for a human being to render, namely, assisting in molding the type and character of ,future generations.
It would cost about $10,000 a year to organize and maintain an extension department in connection with the State College of Agriculture of sufficient magnitude to assist in training the school teachers in the art of school gardening and performing adequately all the other services enumerated as advisable to be undertaken by such a bureau for the betterment of the condition of the farmer. We are annually paying a tax of millions of dollars to a disease, the characteri3tics of which have been worked out. How long shall we continue in the old rtlt when it is possible for us to give OUr boys and girls the accumulated information of past generations and put them in touch with the latest and best information so they can battle successfully with the foes unknown to our forefathers? Can the Commonwealth do anything that will increase and promote its best interests more rapidly than to develop a successful and intelligent body of citizens who shall have in charge its agricultural interests? Multiplying the potential energies of the Commonwealth by two is a great undertaking; multi-

1
I.
191
plying them by six seems an impossible task, and yet there are illustrations coming daily to those who are cha'rged with the work of disseminating information relating to agriculture itl this State which show clearly that it is possible and quite probable that a result so desirable, a result so incalculable in its benefits and fraught with such wonderful possibilities to the future destiny of the Commonwealth, might be brought about, not in the distant future, but at an early date, through the united and consistent effort of all the people.
The College of Agriculture, through its extension department, proposes to publish circulars of information on pertinent topics from time to time. Some fourteen of these cir'culars were issued during the past fiscal year, besides three of what are termed educational bulletins. These publications 'summarize in a practical manner the results of investigations with commercial fertilizers, the improvement of corn and cotton, etc., and will prove of special interest to all reading and progressive farmers. It is proposed to expand these series from year to year, until eventually a first-class reading course and farmer's library will be the result. These publications are distributed free of cost to all farmers who apply for them, and we now have a. mailing list of approximately 25,000 names. Press bulletins are also sent out each month to all papers in the State. Thus, the college is taking an active part in endeavoring to disseminate the vast fund of useful information which has accumulated as the result of the researches of the experiment stations.
FARMERS) INSTITUTES.
The board of trustees of the University organized a farmers' institute system on January 16, 1903. When the board of control of the College of Agriculture was created the management of the farmers' institutes was handed over to it. For several years the direction of this work had been under the

192
charge of Han. Harvie Jordan, who, however, found the work 50 onerous and exacting that he decided to withdraw from it on November I, 1907, when it was turned over to the charge of the writer. There has been little opportunity since that time to hold institutes and, therefore, the report for the past fiscal year must of necessity be brief. It is planned to hold an institute in every senatorial district during the present fiscal year if the small appropriation available for institutes wIll permit of our doing so. The institute work will be pushed vigorously, as this fonn of extension teaching can be made of especial value to the fanners of the State. It is contemplated that a part of the institutes wiH be held during the early part of the year, and the balance in the later summer or early fall. Plans for the organization of this work are well
am under way, with the cordial cooperation and assistance of
the farmers a succe@sful series of mootings should be held during the year.
In the preceding pag~~ an effort has been made to illustrate the vital necessity of agricultural education as a means of overcoming the increasing poverty of our soil, due to bad management in rlie past. Through the exercise of intelligence we can reclaim and render profitable every acre of land devoted to the plow. We can double and treble the yield of many of our farm crop6. We can multiply the producing power of our soil. We can increase the wealth of our people remarkaBly. We can dominate and control nature. We can make our boys and girls indeed the masterg of the situation. We can give that true insight into plant growth and reproduction which is essential to progress. We can show that through the exercise of their own intelligence and skill they can overcome and solve many of thet most serious problems of the fann. Will this not .bind them to the country? Will they not take pride in their work when they realize what they may accomplish through their own efforts? Let a man understand

193
once for all that as a farmer he can carve out a destiny worthy of his highest ambition, and you have changed his attitude towards country life. And this end will certainly be accomplished when agricultural education comes into its own, and the basic principles of science are made a part of the knowledge of our farmers.
REPORT OF DISTRICT AGRICULTURAL SCHOOLS.
FIRST DISTRICT AGRICULTURAL SCHOOL) STATESBORO) GA.
The Agricultural School for the First Congressional District of Georgia is located one mile south of Statesboro, Ga., on a farm of three hundred acres. Statesboro is the county seat of Bulloch county and is the geographical center of the district.
To secure this school Bulloch county gave $60,000 in cash, 300 acres of land with water, light, telephone previleges for a period of ten years. The gift as a whole amounted to at loast $125,000.
Three large buildings, two dormitories and an academic building, have been erected at a cost of $48,000, and furnished in part at a cost of $3,50. The boys' dormitory contains forty-two rooms, and is well fitted up with b~throom~ water'Closets, hot and cold water, and the other modem, conveniences. The girls' dormitory contains thirty-six rooms with model {Iepartments for work in domestic science, and has all modern fittings the same as the boys' dormitory.
The school was opened February 5, 1908, with an enrollment of fifty-one. Of these, eleven are girls and forty are boys. They are divided into two classes, the seventh and .eighth grades, the former of which recites in the forenoon,
13 sse

194:
and the latter in the afternoon. This leaves half the day to be devoted to farm and practice work, carpentry, shop work and daily chores by the boys, and to work in domestic science and the like by the girls. Twenty recitation periods a week of forty minutes each,' in addition to all practice work, are required of all students.
While the school is being operated with only a limi'ted attendance for the present term of five months, nevertheless considerable interest has been shown. It has b~n found that there is practically no difficulty In securing the interest and cooperation of the student body in the industrial work of the school. The boys enter even more enthusiastically into the work of the farm and shop than they do Into the work of the class room. In like manner, they serve and clear tables, wash dishes, get wood, feed hogs, milk cows and sweep the buildings willingly and well. The girls, too, take their turn at the kitchen and dining room and seem to be happy in doing theilduty faithfully.
The farm contains about a hundred and fifty acres of cleared land, planted for this year as follows: Fifteen acres in oats. to be followed by peas for hay; fifty acres in corn with peanuts, soy beans, velvet beans, and field peas in middles; fifteen acres In long cotton; twenty acres in short cotton, fourdifferent vari6ties; seven acres in food of various kinds for hogs and arrflnged in lots or sections; two acres laid out for chicken runs, not yet finished; five acres in forage and early truck for stock; the remainder in sugar cane, SW6et potatoes, melons, garden vegetables and other truck.
The farm has four mules, five milch cows, sixty head of hogs, some chickens and turk6ys. There is only a limited amount of farm tools and machinery, owing to a lack of funds and shed room, but sufficient for present needs. , A few greatly appreciated donations have been r6ceivedone "Little Joe" harrow, one two-horse reversible disc plow (half donation), one cream separator, one two-horse turn

195
plow and an incubator. Other donations are pending and will doubtless be made later on.
The faculty is made up as follows: J. Walter Hendricks,
Principal and professor pro tern. of English and History.
of Otto T. Harper, professor of Agriculture and the Allied
Sciences. Frank M. Rowan, professor Mathematics and
Mechanics. Josephine Schiffer, in charge of Domestic Science department. Mrs. Isla Crumpler, Matron Boys' Dormitory.
Mrs. J. Walter Hendricks, Matron Girls' Dormitory and As-
sistant to the Principal. Geo. W. Kicklighter, Farm Superintendent.
The board of trustees consists of one member from each of the twelve counties of the district, as follows:
J. Randolph Anderson, chairman, Savannah, Chatham. J. R. Miller, secretary, Statesboro, Bulloch.
F. M. Cates, Waynesboro, Burke. S. W. Palmer, Millen, Jenkins.
J. H. Evans, Halcyondale, Screven.
George M. Brinson, Stillmore, Emanuel.
J. T. Wells, Guyton, Effingham.
M. E. Carter, Pembroke, Bryan. T. C. Chapman, Ludowici, Liberty. Geo. E. Atwood, Valona, McIntosh. B. F. Alexander, Reidville, Tattnall.
E. C. J. Dickens, Vidalia, Toombs.
In conclusion I desire to say that it is my firm convIctIOn that this and the other agricultural schools in Georgia must be more thoroughly equipped and much more liberally SUpe ported before they can fulfill the mIssion for which they have been created.
We greatly need a kitchen and dining hall, a laundry building, a mechanical building, and a model bam, each and all thoroughly equipped, not to menti'on a library building and ether things we ought to have. \Vith an educational plant thus furnished and equipped,. it would be possible to do such

196

'work as would impress the worth of the school upon the people, popularize agricultural and industrial education and :bring to the State the much-needed development along educa:tional and industrial lines. Without such equipment, the school will lead a more or less precarious existence for a time and finally change its character and work to conform to ;.the conditions with which it has to deal.

Respectfully submitted.

J. WALTER HENDRICKS,
Principal.

SECOND DISTRICT AGRICULTURAL SCHOOL AT TIFTON.
This school was established in 1906 by the trustees appointed by Governor Terrell. The second Congressional district is composed of 18 counties in southwest Georgia and the <school has a trustee in each of the counties. It has a larger territory from which to draw patronage, therefore, than any .of the other agricultural schools in the State. The trustees are men who have achieved signal success in their own business affairs. Among them are farmers, merchants, lawyers, bankers and doctors. With the exception of one or two, they are all engaged in farming and are therefore interested in agriculture.
Five towns made bids for this school, but that of Capt. H. H. Tift and the town of Tifton was the best. In land, money, water, and electric lights their offer was estimated to be about $95,000.00. The plant when completed will cost about $125,-
-000.00.
The school is located two miles north of Tifton on the G. S. & F. Railway. It owns 315 acres of land, all in the woods except about 35 acres, which is now in a high state of cultivation. The amount of timber on the place is large and valuable, never having been boxed for turpentine purposes. The land lies well and is very productive, being admirably adapted


197
to the production of cotton, corn, oats, peas, potatoes, fruits,. and all kinds of v6getables. The part now under cultivation was stumped three years ago and presents to our. pupils an object-lesson as to the advantages derived from the use of -improved and labor-saving machinery.
The three main buildings W6re completed in the falI of 1907 at a cost of $5,000.00. They have two stories each, and the dormitories wiII accommodate about 180 boys and girls. The
boys' dormitory was nicely furnished throughout last Ja-nu-
ary and is now provided with electric lights, artesian water, baths, litC. Both the academic building and the girls' donnitory have all modern conveniences and the latter wiII be furnished for the reception of girls by the falI opening 1908.
The school opened for boys the 19th of February last; 52 came from 15 counties. Had we been ready to open the first of January, I am confident 90 or 100 boys would have applied for admission to our school.
With us th6 day is divided into four periods-a work period, a recitation period, a recreation period and study period. Our plan of operation is so arranged that no confusion arises at any time and from day to day the work moves along in a systematic manner.
The present t6aching force is composed of Prof. L. O. F.eeman; Prof. K. C. Moore, Agriculturist; Miss RusselI Lassiter, Domestic Science; W. W. DriskelI, Principal.
THIRD DISTRICT AGRICULTURAL AND MECHANICAL SCHOOL AT AMERICUS.
BUILDINGS AND GROUNDS.
There has been complet6d an academic building and a boys' dormitory and a dining hall. The latter

1
198
building will be used, later, as a shop, and has been located at the place designated on the plan for the wood shop, and has been erected after the plans for the wood shop. The first two buildings have been erected after the plans of those of the other ten schools in the State. There is near enough for all purposes of the school, and on the school grounds, a farm settlement. This settlement comprises a farm house of four rooms, meat house, cribs, tool house, poultry houses and poultry runs, stables and barn for stock, and C). very large and comfortable barn wi'th conveniences for dairy cows and cattle. Several tenant houses in good condition are on the place, together with a blacksmith shop, the latter costing about $25
THE FARM.
Tho farm contains about 275 acres. About 225 acres have been cleared. More than half of the farm is in a fair condition for cultivation yet; while almost any crop grown in this part of the State can be g-rown on the farm, at present it does not seem advisable to attempt to grow other than special crops) due to the fact that some parts of the farm are badly infested with bermuda and nut grass.
About one hundred and ten acres are being cultivated the present year. About ten acres of the most fertile land on the place has been heavily sodded with bermuda, on which ten head of the Jerseys are now, in May, grazing. There are great opportunities here for cattle raising.
EQUIPMENT.
A I]erd of Jerseys for the use of the school has been placed at the disposal of the school by a friend. The :school owns no cows. Tw6 mules and one horse comprise the 'stock on the farm. The farm has been fairly well equipped with wagons, mowers, harrows, cultivators and other necessary cheap equipment. The academic building has been fairly.

]99
well equipped, while the dormitory and dining hall have been equipped throughout, the equipment for these two buildings baving cost over $5,000. Water, lights and sewerage have
been put in the buildings. Both the blacksmith and wood
shops have been fairly well equipped with tools and fixtures.
FINANCIAL CONDITION.
Both the Clty of Americus and Sumter county have paid all they promised to the school, and as a result the school is out of debt and has a small balance left over from this fund.
ATTENDANCE AND WORK NOW BEING DONE AT THE SCHOOL
. During the term one hundred and nine pupils have been enrolled. Fifteen counties are represented at the school. Only about ten girls are in attendanc6 for the reason that places could not be provided for them in the dormitory. A numher of local applicati 'Jns had to be refused admission for the reason
that it was thought best, on account of the limited equipment
and the need M other teachers, not to admit them. Three classes have been organized: "Prep," First and
Second year classes as contemplated in course of study subtr.itted by the State College of Agriculture.
The mechanical and blacksmith work have been satisfactorily inaugurated. Highly satisfactory work has been done in this work, the pupils willingly complying with all demands made on them in this d6partment.
Pupils have shown interest in the agricultural work, and a large per cent. of them have made no complaint of the duties required of them. This department needs to be much better <:quipped, that the subject may be the better scientifically and experimentally taught.
NEEDS.
While the income from the State, as provided by the law that created these schools, will not permit us to add another teacher, yet we really need to add three, and at the

200
same time the salaries of the present faculty are too low as compared with the salaries paid for the same ability in other schools.
The prospect is that not less than 100 pupIls will have to be turned away from the school in September unless room and more teachers an~ provided. A girls' dormitory must be built before many girls can be admitted.
There is a healthy local and sectional sentiment favoring the school. Boys from the families of w6althy parents, and those from the poorest families, and boys who have earned the money with which they are paying their expenses are at-. tending the school and work side by side without complaint.
Pupils boarding at the dormitory have paid $5 per month for board for the first five months. and it is beli6ved that it can be reduced still lower. Boys pay for their own laundermg.
FIFTH DISTRICT AGRICULTURAL AND MECHANICAL SCHOOL> MONROE, GA.
Han. Jere M. Pound, S. S. C., Atlanta, Ga'. DEAR SIRS: I hav th6 honor to present to you the first an-
fwal report of the Fifth DJstrict A. & M. School, located three and a half miles north of Monroe on the Gainesville Midland Railroad.
ATTENDANCE.
Our school opened on January 6th, with an attendance of 90 students. The total Emrollment has since grown to 115. Our one dormitory could not accommodate all the applicants we had, so that several who wished to attend the school hact , to be denied the privilege. Generous citizens of this county (Walton) and other parts of the district are talking of building another dormitory that WIll accommodate 80 students. 'vVe think that it will take another building of this size to m6et the

201

requirements of the comIng term. The school has been very popular from the day of its opening.

Of these 82 are boarding students, 64 being males Flnd I8

females. The males range from 14 to 23 years of age, and

the females from I3 to I9. The other students come on foot,

on the train or in buggies.

All the counties of the district are represented except three,

Campbell, Clayton and DOtlglas. Three outside the district

furnish students. namely, Rabun, Gwinnett and Richmond. It

is gratifying to reRort that our students are a sturdy, splendid

lot of the finest type of young ladies and gentlemen of the

State. We have the best of discipline practically without any

coercIon.

COST OF ATTENDANCE.-
Total average cost of attendance for the first three months of this term for board, bed, lights, fuel, water, laundry, etc., ,,,as $7.8I. It has cost some students less than $5.00 and some about $9.00, according to the amount of profitable work they did.

MEAGER EQUIPMENT.

We have suffered greatly on account of our meager equipment. We have some farm tools, wagons, shop tools, etc.,

202
but have. no shelter for the wagons and farm tools, and no barns for our cows and mules worth mentioning. We are using some old farm houses that were on the farm when the school was established. We pray that the coming Legislature will make some adequate provision for us along these lines. We are sure that our lawmaking body cannot appropriate money to a better advantage, for these district schools are reaching a class of students that have not had their just dues in an educational way heretofore.
EVERYBODY WORKS HERE.
We have here about $50,000 worth of school property, but we count our girls and boys by far our most valuable asset. They do all the work of. every kind that is done on the farm. Only $1.50 has been paid out other than to the students during this term for work and this was clearing out a well.
G. C. ADAMS, Principal.
REPORT OF THE SIXTH DISTRICT AGRICULTURAL SCHOOL, BARNESVILLE, GA.
School located at Barnesville, Pike county. To secure the school the citizens of Barnesville contnbuted $51,000 in cash, 300 acres of land, water, lights and sewerage estimated at $15,000. Two domitories and academic building have been completed at a cost of about $47,500. The first season began April 8, 1908. Owing to the lateness of the time for opening the attendance has not been large. Pupils range in age from 14 to 20, and grade from sixth to ninth. Divided as to sex, there are nine boys and si'x girls. The prospects are that at least one hundred will be enrolled by the oponing of the fall term in September.

SEVENTH DISTRICT AGRICULTURAL SCHOOL, POWDER SPRINGS, GA.
R on. Jere M. Pound, S. S. C" Atlanta, Ga. My DEAR SIR: Complying with your n:;quest, I give you
a brief history of our i!1stitution. Its history can but be brief for it was on February 3, 1908, that students were admitted.
The Seventh district Agricultural School had its inception .of course as all the schools of like character in the State, yet we have not grown quite as rapidly as some. We have at present the academic building completed and the foundation of the boys' 'dormitory laid, also most of the lumber on ground for it.
On February 3 we opened the literary department also the agricultural with an enrollment of 75 pupils.
All buildings for the school will be carried forward as rap.idly as possible.
Yours very truly,
H. R. HUNT, Principal.
EIGHTH DISTRICT AGRICULTURAL AND INDUSTRIAL SCHOOL, MADISON, GA.
Han. Jere M. Pound, Atlanta, Ga., DEAR SIR: Your favor to hand asking for a report of this
school. In reply I beg to say that a report at this time will hardly do us justice but I hereby present you some -facts that may be of interest to you.
Because of the fact that our buildings were not finished and that water and furnhure and other conveniences were not here at the time for us to open school, we thought it best to admit only 25 boys for the short spring term. Thus we have now on our roll twenty-five boys from eight counties in the district. Many girls from over the entire district applied, but we had

204
tc ask them to wait till September when we expect to admit boys and girls to the extent of our capacity for them. Wealready have about enough applicants to fill the buildings for the fall term and many other apphcations are coming in' weekly.
The cost to attend the school will amount to $40.00 a ses-sian. The boys do all the work on the farm, such as plowing,. attending the stock, milking, care of poultry, janitor's work ll.nd carpentry and shop work. The boys have built poultry houses, barns, and are now working on a corn cnb, laundry and permanent shops. Ten cents per hour is paid them for their labor, but such employment does qat interfere with their scholastic duties.
We have two elegant bulldings, one dormitory for boys and' an academic building. A girls dormitory will be built in the summer of 1908. Many trees and plants have been planted and: now a large orchard for several thousand trees has been plotted.
We have only four teachers in the faculty at present, but others a're in view for the coming fall term when we will openproperly the school to its utmost capacity.
Subjocts taught this year are as follow: Agriculture, botany, horticulture, elementary physics, elementary chemistry, English Grammar and syntax, arithmetic, algebra, naturestudy, reading, writing, spelling, geography, history and physiology. The agricultural studies are the first in importance, and the English branches are next. The studies are carried' on daily in the forenoon while the majority of the farm work is done in the afternoon.
The prospects for the coming fall term are very encouraging, and my opinion is that we can not accommodate more. thanhalf that apply for entrance. We divide the number equally among the twelve counties in this district, or as nearly as we can. A sign of satisfaction is that all pupils enrolled so farhave asked us to retain their rooms for them in the fall.

205
Let me say i'n conclusion that the State should certainly provide more funds, whether it comes from the conditional basis of f6rtilizer tax or otherwise. Each school should have
.at once $15,000.00 so that it can get to doing the great work
without further drawbacks and hindrances. A great many friends have made contributions of various kinds, from a steam 6ngine down to a chi'cken, and the State, in my mind, should meet its obligations to support them at once, and there,by not hinder the purpose for which the school was created.
Most respectfully,
L. CRAWLEY, M.A., Principal.
NINTH DISTRICT AGRICULTURAL SCHOOL, CLARKESVILLE, GA.
Hon. Jere M. Pound, Sta,te School Commissioner, Atlanta, Ga.
DEAR SIR: I have the honor to submit the following report on the Ninth District Agricultural School:
Our school is located one mile and a half north of Clarkesville in Habersham county, on a suitable tract of land contain. ing 300 acres, mostly in virgin forest. The site is well chosen and the beautiful mountain scenery visible is a source of continued inspiration. The altitude is nearly 1,400 feet above the sea level and the climate l'S ideal. Only on6 county in the United States has a health record that surpasses Habersham.
The academic building and the boys' dormitory, both handsome and substantial two-story brick buildings, are now ready to b6 received. These buildings will be equipped with modern conveniences.
We shall attempt to accomplish the purposes for which the district schools were designed, giving special attenti'on to dairying, cattl6 and poultry raising, and such other industries as are peculiarly adapted to this section of the State.

206
Each county is entitled to about five scholarships for each representative in the General Assembly.
We believe we shall be able to reduce the expenses of students, except text-books, to $6.00 per month or even lower.
School will open September 2, 1908.
Respectfully yours, W. H. MAXWELL.
TENTH DISTRICT AGRICULTURAL SCHOOL, SPARTA, GA.
From unavoidable delay, the buildings could not be completed 1ll time for the school to open during the present school year. Three buildings will be completed by June I, and all necessary arrangements are be-ing perfected for the school to open September 1. The buildings and furnishings cost $50,000.00.
Sixty acres of the farm are being cultivated this year and will be in as good condition for class instruction next fall, as would have been the case if the school had been in session this spring.
THE ELEVENTH DISTRICT AGRICULTU~AL SCHOOL, DOUGLAS, GA.
To Han. Jere M. Poung, S. S. C., Atlanta, Ga.
SIR: I herewith submit my first annual report of the Eleventh District Agricultural School:
At a meeting of the board of trustees in October, '07, the opening of school was postponed until September of this year. It was thought that there would not be much to gain by beginning the work in the middle of the school year, beside-s we did not have time to equip the school properly in so short a time.

207
The faculty is composed of the following t8achers : Chas. W. Davis (University of Tennessee, Iowa State College), principal, agronomy. Miss L. Vanna Bayless (Maryville College, U niv8rsity of Chicago), English and history, physical culture for girls.
J. M. Thrash (Georgia School of Technology), mathematics
and director of shops. David O. Thompson (University of Wisconsin), animal
husbandry apd Dairying. F. A. Merrell (Massachusetts Agricultural College), hor-
ticulture and natural sciences. Miss Agnes E. Harris (Georgia Normal and Industrial
College, Oread Institute), domestic science. Each member of the faculty is a specialist in his line. In
addition to the school work proper, much attention will be given to extension work in agriculture, experiment work, and research work in the laboratory.
Very respectfully yours,
CHARLES W. DAVIS, Principal.

REPORT ON HIGH SCHOOLS PROGRESS IN GEORGIA.
,By JOSEPH S. STEWART}
Professor of Secondary Education, University of Georgia.
For the past five years the University, with the help of the General Education Board, has been trying to improve the teaching force, the courses of study and equipment in the high schools of the State, and also to establish new high schools. This work has met with the support of nearly all the educational forces and the list below will show the schools that now offer courses and do a class of work that entitle them to a place on the accredited list. This list has gradually grown from 38 to 104. Each year shows the addition of about twenty to the list. With increased funds in many of our smaller communities, the list could be greatly increased within the next few years. This increase of funds should come from local taxation and State aid, amounting to from $250.00 to $600.00 a year, according to the grade of the school. This last can not be accomplished without an amendment of the Constitution. This State aid would undoubtedly stimulate local aid, as was witnessed last year in the location of the eleven congressional agricultural schools, when $830,000 was contributed by the successful counties. Similar stimulation of high school support has been secured through State aid in Virginia, North' Carolina, South Carolina, Florida and Alabama within the last two years. Weare, however, gratified to report so many schools that can find a place on our accredited list, and we hope that these may improve each year in efficiency, and that others will find a place next year.
,HIGH SCHOOLS ACCREDITED BY THE UNIVERSITy OF GEORGIA.
High schools, academies, seminaries or other secondary schools may, upon a vote of the University Committee of Ac-

209
credited Schools, after examination by the Professor of Sec:.. ondary Education, be accredited as making preparation for one or more of the University courses.
The University wiII accredit two classes of high schools: 1. Schools which fully meet admission requirements in either the A.B. or B.S. courses. 2. Schools which, while they can do only a part of the required preparatory work, are doing that part in a satisfactory manner. Credit will be 'given by subjects. No school wiII be accredited having less than three years of high school work beyond the prescribed seven years' elementary school; with less than two teachers, one of whom may be the principal or superintendent, giving the bigh-school instruction; requiring more than five prepared studies daily and more than an average of ten prepared classes daily to the teacher. Credit for science work must show laboratory instruction. Library facilities will be considered in determining the ability to give adequate instruction in English and> history. The college degrees and professional training of the faculty wiII be carefully considered. Schools desiring to become accredited should make application for blank to the Professor of Secondary Education. Upon receipt of this, properly fiIIed out, the school wiIl be inspected by the Professor of Secondary Education and a report made upon the work of the school. Upon acceptance by the University it is placed on the published list indicating the subjects granted credit. This list is accepted by nearly all the colleges of the State and by alI the State universities having similar accrediting systems. Schools falIing behind in their work may be dropped from the list. Annual reports are" required from the principals, and the schools will be visited annually, if possible, by the professor in charge of this work. Four-year high schools are designated Senior High schools and are indicated in the list by (S) after the name of the schooL
14 sse

210
"I'hree-year high schools are designated Middle High Schools and are indicated in the list by (M) after the name of the :school. Two-year high schools are designated Junior High Schools, but are not listed in this publication.
Sufficient blank certificates for all the graduates will be furnished the principal each year by the University. These should be filled out by the principal for the institution to which the pupil wishes to go. The institutions having accepted the University accredited system will be indicated on this blank. These certificates will be accepted in lieu of examinations for entrance.

The University Summer School for 1907 opened July 1st and closed August 2d. Both students and teachers unite in estimating this as one of the most fruitful sessions of the Summer School. The enrollment was 324.
The students were as usual mostly teachers who wanted the common school branches and pedagogy. It may be of interest to note the enrollment of the various courses. This will in a measure indicate the common school tendencies in Georgia. The following will show the number taking the work of various classes:
EDUCATION.
History of Education, 29; Psychology, 41; Child Study, 26; Practical Pedagogy, 45; Primary Methods, 55; Grammar School Methods, 75; High School Methods, 3; School Government, 48; School Supervision, 10.
COMMON SCHOOL SUBJECTS.
Arithmetic, 85; General Agriculture, 15; Elementary Agri'Culture and School Gardening, 10; Nature Study, 40; Civil Government, I I; Domestic Science, 20; Geography, 41; Grammar, 100; U rtited States History, 54; Literature in Grades, 75; Elementary Manual Training, 29; Handicrafts, 4; Bench Work, 3; Drawing, 77; Music, 23; Physical Culture, IS'
HIGH SCHOOL AND COLLEGE SUBJECTS.
Astronomy, 3; Botany, 3; Physiology, 15; Zoology, 4; Chemistry I, 7; Chemistry II, 6; Rhetoric, I I; Physical and Commercial Geography, 31; Ancient History, 9; English History, 6; Latin, elementary, 12; Cicero,S; C;;esar, 8; Greek, elementary, 4; Greek II, 3; French, elementary, 3; French

,
2:l3
II, 4; German, elementary, 4; German II, 8; Literature in High Schools, IS; American Literature, 12; Literary Criti<:ism, 20; Shakespeare, II; Algebra I, 14; Algebra II, IS; Geometry I, 12; Geometry II, IS; Physics, I I; Physical Laboratory, 7.
You may see that the smallest classes relatively are in foreign languages and natural sciences; that newer subjects, such as domestic science, agriculture, music, and physical culture are not freely sought, and that drawing, nature study, and manual training are being more favorably received. It is clear that in the direction of any reform in the nature of school work, no headway can be made without first educating the teachers along the needed lines.
MORE DORMITORIES NEEDED.
The students more and more prefer to stay in the dormitories. So few desire to go out in town that it becomes more and more difficult to house them. Our dormitories are not sufficient. A fresh new dormitory made attractive as a place for women would meet one of the greatest needs of the Summer School. Available cottages belonging to the University and not otherwise in use are being P4t in condition to accommodate men during the next session.
The following will briefly outline the plan and the scope of the school for the present year:
ORGANIZATION.
I. Pedagogical Courses. II. Common School Subjects. III. High School Subjects. IV. College Subjects. It is in the plan of the Summer School to cover pretty well the common school and the high school fields, and the field of elementary pedagogy; also to go as far into college subjects and advanced pedagogy as demands justify.

224

The schedule is so arranged as to allow the election of courses in anyone of these groups or a combination from dif~ ferent groups.
Special attention is called to the opportunities offered by this Summer School in agriculture, nature study, domestic' science, manual training, etc.

NEW COURSE OF STUDY.
In order to make the University Summer School stand for something a little more definite, an additional scheme is proposed offering an arrangement of subjects for a systematiccourse leading to a diploma.
Many teachers of Georgia can not take the full course at one of our normal schools or the University. The proposed scheme will give these and others the opportunity to extend their professional preparation and at the same time continue teaching. The scheme contemplates home work in connection with thework done in attendance, such work to be properly tested so as. to be given credit. This will make the Summer School a state: institution meeting a great need. Soon there will be no excuse for permitting anyone to teach who has not been professionally prepared. The profession will then take higher rank and a substantial recognition of this will be manifest in increase of salaries. If this increase is to be secured the teachers must contribute their part in increased preparation.
The following outline and arrangement of courses will explain this scheme;

Mathematics. Arithmetic. Algebra 1. Algebra II. Geometry 1. Geometry II. Trigonometry.

Preferably at least two of the courses selected should be in a foreign language. It will also be desirable to include four courses in Pedagogy, one from each of the four groups bracketed under Pedagogy. The three required in Pedagogy should not include two from the same bracket, though Practical Pedagogy may combine with a Method course as one course.

227
Those desiring credit for any course must take an examination covering the work done in that course during the session of the Summer School and also work assigned for home study in connection with that course.
Those not desiring credits towards a diploma or toward college entrance requirements need not take examinations.
DIPLOMA.
A teacher's Diploma with the title, Graduate of the University Summer School, wiII be conferred by the University upon anyone completing twenty acceptable courses. Such a diploma should receive credit towards a teacher's license.

REPORT OF GEORGIA SCHOOL FOR THE DEAF, CAVE SPRING, GEORGIA.
By THE PRINCIPAL.
To the Board of Trustees of the Georgia School for the Deaf. GENTLEMEN: Not knowing that a change had been made
in the State's fiscal year, the last report was made as usual, and covered the period extending from OctobeT I, 1904, to September 30, 1905.
This report covers the period from January I, 1906, to December 31, 1906, except that there is included, a statement of such financial transactions as occurred during the three months not included in the last report, extending from October I, 1905, to December 31, 1905.
There were entered on the roll in the white department the names of 182 pupils, and in the negro school 49, with a total of 231,
Miss M. A. Harris, for a number of years a valued teacher, retired at the close of school on accou?t of failing health. She was a Georgian, received her training in her home school, and it is to be regretted that it became necessary for her to leave, for her loss will be greatly felt.
Miss Annie McD. Ervin, having been offered a position in the North Carolina School at Morganton, her old home, on terms that were more satidactory to her than she was given here, tendered her resignation. Miss Ervin was a good teacher, interested ,in her work, and will be greatly missed.
Misses Pauline B. Camp, of Warren, Ark, Mary McClelland and Lucy Fallon, of Mercersburg, Pa., were given places as teachers. ~fiss Camp is a native of Georgia, and was for

229
four or five years connected with the Arkansas School at Little Rock, as clerk and as teacher.
Miss Lavilla Ward, of Atlanta, entered the school in October to learn to teach, and promises to be quite an acquisition to our corps of instructors. .
I have made an earnest effort to induce worthy young men and women graduates from the Normal College at Athens, and of the Girls' Normal and Industrial College at Milledgeville, to take up the work of teaching the deaf, but most of those approached seemed to think there was too much work in it for too little pay.
THE EDUCATION OF THE DEAF AND HISTORY OF THE GEORGIA SCHOOL FOR THE DEAF.
By W. O. CONNOR.
To Pedro Ponce de Leon, a Spanish monk of the fifteenth century, is usually accorded the honor of being the first in;structor of the deaf. From his own statement he taught persons who were born deaf, "to speak, to read, to keep accounts, to repeat prayers, to serve mass, to know the doctrines of the Christian religion, and to confess themselves viva voce." The writers of this age, however, were so inclined to throw a glamour of the marvelous over their work, that Ponce's account of his success with the deaf may be taken with some degree of, allowance, though he was probably an excellent teacher.
About thirty-six years after the death of Ponce, John Paul Bonet, also a Spanial'd, published a valuable treatise on the art of instructing the deaf. To him is generally ascribed the invention of the single-hand alphabet, with wkich almost

230
everyone is familiar, but it is known to have been in use at an earlier date.
As far as we know, John Bu1wer was the first English writer who in 1648 published a book on the subject of the education of the deaf. On the title page of his book he claims that "Man borne Deafe and Dumbe may be taught to Heare sounds of words with his eio and thence learn to speak with his tongue."
At various times during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, we find that in Italy, in France, Germany, Holland, and Great Britain, indlvidua1 deaf-mutes had received education, but the mass of the deaf, throughout the world was left to continue in darkness and solitude, and be classed as imbeci1os, or persons without responsibility.
Something oVor a hundred and twenty-five years ago provision began to be made in the enlightened countries of the Christendom for the relief of this class of society.
About tho middle of the eighteenth century, however, began the important period of deaf-mute education. It is a singular coincidence that in the same year, 1755, De l' Epee opened 2. school for the deaf in Paris, Heinicke began the instruction of a deaf boy in Dresden, neither knowing of the work of the other. Five years later Thomas Braidwood commenced the education of tho deaf at Edinburgh. De l' Epee died in 1789. Heinicke in 1790, and Braidwood in 1806, each devoting his. life to the education of the deaf. In his work, De l' Epee used' signs or the natura11anguago of the deaf, whlle Heinicke and Braidwood used speech, though Braidwood's method remained a secret in his family for sixty years.
The first deaf-mute of American birth to recoive education was Charles Green, a son of Francis Green. He was born in Boston, and from thence went with his father, who remained loyal to the crown of England, to Halifax, at the time of the British evacuation in March 1776. The next year he went to New York, where he remained until 1780. Having reached

231
the age of eight years, he was placed under the instruction of the Braidwoods, in Edinburgh.
In the United States the first attempt at 6ducation of the deaf was made in 1812 at Cobbs, the residenc~ of Col. William Bolling, the sixth in line of descent from Pocahontas, near Petersburg, in Goochland .county, Virginia. Colonel BoIling had two deaf brothers and a deaf sister in the school established by Thomas Braidwood, in Edinburgh and conducted by th6 Braidwood family, and he also had two d6af children. The teacher of the two deaf children was John Braidwood, a grandson of Thomas, but on account of his irregular habits he did not remal'n long at this work. In 1818 Col. Bolling put John Braidwood, who seemed to have reformed, in charge of a school at Manchester,.Va., this being the first school for the deaf in America, but this enterprise soon fell through from the same cause. that resulted in the failure at Cobbs.
WillialtI Albert Bolling, son of Col. Bolling, was born at Cobbs, February 2 I, 1799, anel died in Goochland county, October 30, 1884. He was the first pupil of the first school for the deaf in America.
The first succcssful school for the deaf in America, however, was opened at Hartford,Connecticut, on Apnl IS, 1817, by Rev. Thomas H. Gallaudet, with' about twenty pupils. Dr. Gallaudet having become interested in the. deaf-mute daughter of Dr. Mason F. Cogswell of that city, in 1814, devoted considerable time during the winters of 1814-15 to the instruction of the. child, Alice Cogswell, and this led her father to enter. tain the idea that a school for the deaf might be established in his own town, where his daughter, and others similarly afflicted, might be educated. A number of gentlemen met at Dr. Cogswell's house, March IS, 1815, and the result was the appointment of a committee to raise funds for the purpose of 's6nding some suitable person to Europe, to learn the art of teaching the deaf. The necessary amount was secured in a single day, and Dr. Gallaudet was asked to undertake the task,

232

which, after some hesitation, he consented to do. On the 25th 'Of April, ISI5, he sailed for Europe, but failing to secure the necessary instruction in Great Britain, he went to Paris, where ihe WillS most cordIally roceived by the Abbe Sicard, director of 'the Institution for Deaf-mutes. He soon familiarized himself with the methods used in that institution and returned to Hartford in August, ISI6. During the autumn and winter he collocted the funds necessary for inaugurating- the new enterprise, and the school was opened the followIng April.

The first appropriation of public funds, $5,000, in aid of the education of the deaf in America, was made by the Legislature of Connecticut, in October, 1816.

In the winter of 1818-19 the Congress of the United States

gave to this institution, a township of land amounting to more

than 23,000 acres, which was sold for something more than

$300,000.00, the interest from which has been used for the

benefit, mainly, of the New England States.



At the present time, 1908, there are 139 schools in the United States devoted to the education of the deaf, that of Georgia being eleventh in date of establishment.

The methods of instruction used in these schools are known as tho combined, the oral and the manual methods., In the oral schools it is claimed that speech only is used in giving instruction; in the manual, manual or finger spelling, while in the combined schools, wh1ch are eclectic in their nature, any and every method is used that will help in giving language to
the deaf. While in the oral and manual schools it is claimed
that no signs are used, yet signs or jestures of some kind must, of necessity, be resorted to, though they are not depended upon to that extent that they are in the combined schools. In every school, with perhaps two or three exceptions, in which the .combined method is used, there is a well equipped oral department, in which it 'is claimed that as good results are obtained in teaching speech, as are obtained in the pure oral schools.

233
In a great majority of the schools for the deaf-all the State -schools proper-that of Georgia among them, the combined method is used.
HISTORY OF THE GEORGIA SCHOOL FOR THE DEAF.
In the year 1833 a memorial was pre,sented to the Legislature of Georgia, by John F. Flournoy, a semi-mute, of Jackson county, praying for the establishment of an institution for the educataion of the deaf and dumb.
This memorial was referred to the, governor, Hon. Wilson Lumpkin, with a request that he obtain full information and report to the next meeting of the General Assembly; so in November, 1834, the, governor, who had become much interested in the subject, laid before the Legislature all the informa. tion he had secured, e,xpressing himself as particularly indebted to Governor Fort, of Connecticut, and to Lewis Weld, Principal of the American Asylum for the Deaf and Dumb, Hartford, Connecticut. In the latte,r part of 1834, Mr. Weld, accompanied by two deaf-mutes, Edmund Booth, of Massachusetts, one of hl's assistant teachers, and Thomas S. Perkins, of Connecticut, one of his pupils, who was then a lad of about twelve years of age, visite,d the capital of Georgia, and gave an exhIbition of the method of educating the deaf, before the Legislature, which was then in session, the result of which was an appropriation of three thousand dollars for educating the deaf, made by joint resolution of the Senate and House of Representatives, agreed to December IO, 1834.
On Saturday, December 20, 1834, Hon. John W. Burney, <of Jasper county, introduced into the House of Represe,ntatives, a series of resolutions prescribing the method by which to carry into effoct the purposes sought to be attained by the above mentioned appropriation, which were immediately agreed to, and the Rev. Elijah E. Sinclair was, under these resolutions,, the first commissioner appointed br Governor Lumpkin,

234
in March 1835, to gather up andtonvey to the American Asylum, at Hartford, Connecticut,the deaf-mutes of Georgia. He was faithful and zealous in nris work; was reappointed successively by Governors Schley and Gilmer, and was publicly complimented by the Legislature for his efficiency and integrity. He traveled extensively over the State searching for deaf-mutes, but he succeeded I'n inducing only a few to accept the beneficence of the State. This office was filled in succession by Rev. S. G. Hillyer and Rev. Jesse H. Campbell, both efficient officers.
In the years 1842 and 1843 five deaf-mutes, children of Asa Prior, of Paulding county, two of whom had spent several years in the American Asylum, \vere sent as day pupi'ls, to Cedar Valley Academy, which stood near the iarge spring in Cedartown, and was presided over by Benjamin Mosely, a' noted educator of that day, which may be considered as the first attempt in Georgia to impart instruction to the deaf and dumb. ' No record remains of this work that will give any idea of the measure of success that attended the effort made during these two years, but it is presumed that it did not amount to much, as there was no one connected with the enterprise who ha~ an experience with the deaf and dumb.
The deaf-mutes of Georgia are j'ndebted much to the energy and efficient actiem of Rev. Jesse H. Campbell, for his agency in plocuring the location of an institution for their instruction, within the limits of the State. His philanthropic and Christian heart prompted him to endeavor to ameliorate the. condition of those who, on account of the distance to the American Asylum, would not avail themselves of the privileges offered by the State.
His first step was to have the previous Acts amended so as to allow deaf-mutes to be educated in Georgia upon the same terms as at Hartford. One section of the amendatory act, approved December 25, 1845, and a grand Christmas gift it ploved to be to the deaf-mutes of the State, was as follows:

235
"SECTION 3. And be it further enacted by the authority aforesaid, That his Excellency the Governor be authorized to . remove such beneficiaries as are now at the said asylum at Hartford, if the means of a proper educatIon be supplied at the Cedar Valley Academy, or elsewhere, on the same terms of economy to this State, and the general usefulness of the appropriation, made by said Act of 1838."
After the passage of this amendment, he opened a correspondence with the trustees of several institutions of learn. ing, and among them was the board of trustees of the Hearn Manual Labor School, at Cave Spring, in Floyd county. An arrangement was affected between Mr. Campbell and the trustees of this school, by which a department should be ope-ned for the reception of deaf-mute pUpIls. The preliminary arrangements having been completed, Mr. O. p. Fannin, the associate principal of the Hearn School, a Georgian by birth and education, and a gentleman of fino hterary attainments, ,vas deputized to proceed to Hartford to learn the method of teaching the deaf and dumb, and to bring the Georgia pupils from the American Asylum, and enter them in the deaf-mute department of th6 Hearn School. This department was placed under the I'mmediate supervision of Mr. Fannin, and upon his return, after an aosence of several montI,s, was opened May IS, 1846, in a log cabin' which stood directly in the rear of the present Hearn School building, with four pupIls in attendance, viz.: Thomas Mims, of Thomas county; Murdock McDuffie, of Pulaski county; Temperance L. Jordan, of Oglethorpe county, and Elmira Pugh, of Upson county.
In 1847 the second step toward the establishment of a State School for the Deaf, was taken by the Legislature in passing an Act which provided that the unexpended balance of the appropriation for the education of the deaf, of $4,50, for the year 1847, and the whole appropriation of $4,50, for the yeaI1848, should be- expended by five commissioners, to be appointed by the Governor, one of whom should be the then in-

236
structor of the deaf and dumb beneficiaries of the State, in selecting a site and in purchasing a tract of land suitable, of forty acres, more or less, and to cause forthwith to be erected thereon, such buildings as might be requisite for an asyll1m and a school house for the deaf and dumb of thi's State, to be located at the most eligible point, not exceeding five miles distant from the place at which the deaf and dumb beneficiaries were then educated.
A lot of about ten acres, located in the western part of Cave Spring, was purchased from the trustees of the Hearn Manual Labor School, and a plan ~or a building was procured and adopted, which at the time, was thought to be ample for all who would apply for admission for many years to come. It
\
wa.s contracted to be built of brick, forty feet wide by seventy feet long, and two stories high. Halls running east and west on each floor, divided the building into four large rooms, two above and two on the ground floor.
In the spring of the year r849, the announcement was made that the building would be ready for occupancy by the first of July following, so the board of commissioners proceeded to select some suitable pers<9ns to fill the positions of steward and matron of the asyl1!m. Mr. John M. C;,trroll, a gentleman whose energy of character well qualifi~ him for the discharge 'Of the duties pertaining to the office, was chosen steward, and his wife, Mrs. Sarah Carroll, who was well fitted in every way for the place, was made matron, and it may be interesting to people of this generation to say that they accepted the positions under a contract which required them "to furnish all necessary household and kitchen furniture, and family utensils of such style and quality as the board of commissioners might approve, at their own expense, and to furnish the shops pertaining to said institution, with all necessary tools and materials for carrying on the business thereof, and procure the services of some one or more mechanics of sufficient skill to instruct the boys in the arts and mysteries of a trade at his own

237

e>"'"j>ense, provided nevertheless, that it should be such a on~



as the said board of commissioners would approve." As a

compensation for all this they were allowed the services of all

male mutes who were in proper, condition to labor, and to ap-

propriate to their own use all the proceeds and income arising

from the shops, and in addition were to be paid six dollars per

month for each pupil in attendance. And in this day of techni-

cal training, it may be well to give from the minutes of the

board of commissioners, of June 24, 1848, the following ex-

tract, to show that the importance of manual training was fully

recognized, even in the days which modern writers are dis-

posed to look upon and describe as days of elegant leisure and

idleness on the part of the Southern people. The commis-

sioners say: "The working department, which the board con-

ceives to be one of the most important and efficient auxiliaries

that has been or can be employed to give useful knowledge to

any class, can not, under the existing circumstances, be made

as effectual as could be desired."

Friday, June 29, 1849, and the Sunday foHowing were set

apart for a public examination of the pupils and for a dedica-

tion of the building. Hon. Augustus R. Wright, of Cassville,

Ga., was chosen to deliver the dedication address, and Rev. N.

G. Foster, of Madison, Ga., the dedication sermon. On the

first day of July, 1849, Sunday, th.e Georgia Asylum for the

Deaf and Dumb began its first legitimate work.

From the opening of the institution proper, in 1849, to

March, 1862, there was no break in the operation of the

school, which was increased in numbers until there were about

sixty pupils in attendance. At this date, on account of the tur-

bulent and exciting times incident to the war between the

States, as well as from the fact that the two teachers on

whom the principal relied most were absent in the Confederate

army, the trustees thought best to close the doors of the in-

stitution, which was accordingly done, and all of the pupils

were sent home with the exception of two orphan girls, and

238
:a family was selected to live in the building, both to care for the two girls and to endeavor to protect the property.
During the \vhole four years of the war, although the village was alternately in the hands of the Confederate and of the Federal forces the school premises escaped without serious injury. The building at times was used for hospital purposes.
At the session of the Legislature in November, 1866, the first to assemble after the war, an appropriation was made for reopening of the school, and a board of trustees appointed, five of whom had been members of the former board. (The name, "Georgia Asylum for the Deaf and Dumb," was changed by act of the- Legislature, in 1858, to "The Georgia InstitutIon for the Education of the Deaf and Dumb," and the name, "Board of Commissioners" changed to "The Board of Trustees.") All necessary arrangements having been completed, the doors of the institution were again thrown open for the reception of pupils, and the exercises of the school resumed, on the 4th day of February, 1867, after a cessation of nearly five years, which covered a period fraught with the most momentous events in our country's history. From that time to the present, the exercises have continued without interruption, though several times during the vicissitudes of military government and reconstruction, it was thought the institution would be compelled to close its doors, but somehow it escaped such a calamity. Once, however, if Governor Bulloch, prompted by his kindness of heart, had not assumed a personal responsibility for the money ~ecessary to ke-ep it going rather than see its usefulness even temporarily suspended, the- school would have bee-n disbanded for want of funds.
In 1882, a department for negroes was opened with fifteen in attendance. In this department, negro teachers and other <;:>ffice,rs were installed, which arrangement continues to the present time.
All persons in the State between the ages of seven and twenty-five years, who are too deaf to be educated in the com-

239
mon schools, are entitled to admis3ion as pupils to all the privileges of the respective.departments 6f the school, free of cost, to remain such a number of school terms, or portions thereof, as the board of trustees, upon recommendation by the principal, shall see proper to grant; provided, no pupil shall be allowed to remain more than twelve terms.
In case parents or guardians are unable to furnish the pupil with such clothing as may be prescribed by the board of trustees, or to pay railroad fare to and from the school, the proper authorities are allowed to furnish clothing and pay railroad fare upon certifica~e of the ordinary of the county from which the pupils comes that said parent or guardian is not in condition to do so.
The primary object of the school is to give to the deaf a knowledge of the English language, both written and spoken, and in addition it is endeavored to give them a practical common school education.
As the deaf on account of their affliction, must, in a great majority of cases, pursue some branch of handicraft, the boys are given instruction in printing, woodworking, woodcarving, painting, shoemaking, blacksmithing and gardening, and the girls are taught plain and fancy sewing, cutting and fitting, and cooking.
During the last year there were registered one hundred and eighty-two white pupils and forty-nine negro pupils.
The schools for whites and negroes are run under one expense account and under one superintendence, but in all other respects are separate and distinct, each occupying its own premises.

HISTORY.
The Georgia Academy for the Blind was founded in 1851 as the result of the efforts of Mr. W. S. Fortescue, a graduate of the Pennsylvania Institute for the Blind. The necessary funds were secured by private subscription, and the Academy f0r the Blind was opened in the city of Macon with four pupils, Mr. \V. S. Fortescue being the first principal. In January, 1852, the legislature of Georgia passed an act establishing the Georgia Academy for the Blind and appropriated $5,000 for its support. This appropriation has been continued since that time, and increased from time to time as the circumstances required.
The school for negroes was established in 1881, and although under the same board and superintendent. has always had separate grounds and buildings.

LOCATION.
The white department of the Academy for the Blind now occupies the new building, located in V ineville, a. suburb of
16 sse

1 ]
242
L;~con. This building was completed in 1907 and with the gIOunds represents an outlay of approximately $125,000.
It is somewhat curious that the new building is modeled after the building of the school at Phlladelphia, which sent out the founder and first principal of this institution.
The building is of brick, with artificial stone trimmings, tile roof, cement porches and is lighted by electricity, heated by steam truoughout and supplied with water from the city mams.
The grounds compose twenty acres, and when ,improved according to plans already made, they promise to be unusually beautiful.
The negro school is located within the Qty limits of Macon, at 247 Madison street, at a distance of about two miles from the white school. The main building is a three-story brick structure, supplied with gas and water. The grounds contain about three and one-half acres.
PURPOSE o:r' THE ACADEMY.
The school is designed for the education of children whose s.ight is so defective as to prevent their pursuing successfully a course of study in the ordinary schools. To this end it is necessary to train their remaining senses as carefully as possible in order to make them accurate sources of knowledge; to afford them the same opportunities as other children to become acquainted with the facts of human history and achievement as recorded in books; to teach them to study and to train them in correct thinking; to develop sound bodies and sane minds; to teach them to obey properly constituted authority (which has usually been sadly neglected in the early training of blind children); to train their emotions to give appropriate and propo~i~te response to the ,iufluence of the varyingA~ grees of right and wrong; in short, to give them an opportunity to prepare ,themselves for pleasure and service-for the more abundant life which is the purpose and privilege of

243
every human existence. As incidental to all this-to train them, if possible, to be independent, self-supporting citizens. instead of public charges.
THE WORK OF THE SCHOOL.
At present the course of study covers ten years work, and is intended to give a preparation equal to that given in the standard grammar school of seven years and the high school with a three years course. As a matter of fact, we are ll';)t now accomplishing the same amount of work as the best schools for seeing chIldren accomplish, but we are sttiving toward that end, and hope to attain it before a great while.
In music, we give more varied instruction than is offered in the schools for seeing children of similar grades. Our pupils are instructed in singing, piano, violin, flute, cornet, clarinet and next year we expect to offer instruction in pipe organ and voice culture.
The academy has atwo-manual pipe organ which has been recently rebuilt and is in excellent condition.
In manual training the school gives instruction in broom making and chair caning. It is expected that at an early date it will be possible to add courses in sloyd, piano-tuning, basketmaking and such other handicraft as may be found suitable for the blind.
REQUIREMENTS FOR ADMISSION.
Any citizen of Georgia may enter his child as a pupil in the Georgia Academy for the Blind, provided the following conditions are complied with:
1. The child's sight must be so defective as to make it impossible to pursue successfully the course of study in the common schools. (They need not be totaIIy blind.)
2. The child must .be between the ages of six and ei~hteell
years.

244
3 The applicant 111llSt be sound in llDxfy' arrcf rnitrcf. fTlh.iiS'-is not an asylum and is no place for id.~ or invalids~')
4. The applicant mnst be able to dress~ amrdl undress I1Jiirnself.. 5. The parent must furnish a sufficiell1: 3Upply of suitable clothing-must pay the pupil's railroad f<lll~ to the academy;and return) llnd must take the pupil home our-i'ng v.acations..
'The State will furnish all necessary books and school: sup~
plies, board, laundry, medical attention, including the' serviceof an oculist when needed and necessary medicines.
Pupils can not be withdrawn from school during the sclioul: year without the consent of the superi'ntendent. If thiS: is, done, the pupil's rights are thereby forfeited. Leaves of ab~ sence may be granted by the superintendent when the circum;.stances warrant it.
The school year begins the second Wednesday in Septem;;.ber and closes on the second Wednesday in June in each year;.
HOW TO SEcun ADMISSION.
\"'1rite to the superintendent of the Georgia Academy fur the Blind and ask for an application blank, which will b~ sent: you promptly. As soon as you receive the blank, answer .carefully and fully all the questions in it, and return at: once to the superintendent. You will then be notified whe1!Jte.r the applicant will be admitted as a pupil, and full directiOns wi1lJ. be given as to when pupil should be sent. Do not under any circumstances send a child to the academy until dJirected to do so by the superintendent.
HOW TO REACH THE ACADEMY.
Persons in Macon wishing to visit the white school, should :take the Vineville street car, which passes the Union depot, :and ask to be put off at the Academy for Blind.. The street .car stops directly in front of the main building.
To reach the negro school, take the Cemetery Belt street .car and ask to be put off at Hendrix alley. The school build jng is at the end of this alley and one block from the car line.

PREVENTION OF BLINDNESS.

As the report of t~e State School Commissioner will be-

read by educators and people interested in th.e education arid'

welfare of the children of the State,it offeFs an unusual op-

portunity to reach a class of people of unusual intelligence and philanthropic i~terest in children. I des-ire therefore to

solicit their interest and co-operation in a matter which should

appe,al "Strongly to every lover of chjldren; I feel sure that
some at the facts. j'nthe case are not generally known, and

it will need zealous and earnest missionaries to carry the truth

to those 'dark corners from which so manv of the blind chil-

I

.

,

.,

dren -cOme. Call you not do something in this way toward

making men and women free? There is only one reliable

formula for freedom-"Ye, shall know the truth and the truth

.shall make you free."

It is a fact which is probably not generally known that more tbn twenty-five per cent. of all the pupils in schools for the :blind have be,come blind from causes which are absolutely iP,eventable. By far the most common cause is the infection -of -the child's eyes at the time of birth, known to physicians a.s"ophthalmia neonatorum." It is rare that a child is "born

blind." Within a fe,w days after birth "the child's eyelids become reel and swollen and a yellowish secretion may be seen forming and discharging from the eyes, The nurse should at once call a physician, and in the, meantime carefully cleanse the eyes by wiping them with a clean piece of cloth or absorbent every Half hour until the physician arrives. Care should be take,n to burn the cloth or cotton used at once, as the matter is highly infectious and may destroy the sight of even adults."

Dr. F. Park Lewis, chairman of the New York commission for the blind, who is an authority on this subject, says: "This is one of the commonest and, at the same time, one of the

most dangerous maladies of the eyes to which the child is

246
subject. It is not confined to the tenement district; it may occur in any class of society." To this I would add that in the tenement district there is less likely to be a competent nurse or doctor, and so the disease oftener runs its course without detection and without treatment. In some cases the infection is not sufficient to destroy sight at once, but it does its work none the less surely, and many children who lose their sight without any.apparent cause after they have entered the public sC~lOols, owe their affliction to infection at birth.
Many States have laws to protect their infant citizens, as yet Georgia has none, although it is "a consummation devoutly to be wished." All good citizens should work for the passage of such a law, and meanwhile each in his own small corner should try to protect the babies as far as may be poSsible.
DEFECTIVE SIGH'!' IN PUBLIC SCHodLS.
When a child in the public schools, previously bright, studious and attentive, begins to be listless and inattentive, unless caused by bad health, defective eyesight or hearing should be suspected, and examination made at once. Many children lose their sight by being forced to use their eyes when temporarily weak, or by using their eyes without the aid of suitable glasses. Blindness could be decreased and the sight of public school children improved by requiring the teachers in the common schools to test the eyesight of their pupils by the methods used in the Philadelphia public schools. Both the hearing and sight of all children in the schools should be tested at lec;1st once a year. Aside from the cruelty in permitting one of these little ones to be condemned to the "long night," it pays to save them from blindness or deafness as a matter of economy. To educate one of these defectives will
cost the State approximately $2,500, and then the chances are

2-47 .
probably five to one that he will not be as succ,essful a wageearner or wealth-producer as a normal person of equal intelligence.
HELP TO FIND THE CHILDREN.
There are doubtless many children in Georgia who should be in the Georgia Academy' for the Blind, and are not, for the reason that their parents are not fully acquainted with the provisions made for their education. We request citizens everywhere, and especially school officials, to put us in touch with such cases by sending to the superintendent the addresses of the parents of blind children. If we are to give them the best service they should be placed in school before they are ten years old, in some cases much earlier.
THE ADULT BLIND.
Other States are undertaking systematic work for the education of the adult blind, who have become blind after reach~ ing adult year~. More than fifty per cent. of the blind lose their sight after they are twenty years old. These need more sympathy and help than any other class of the blind. As a preliminary 5tep towards organizing this work I would be pkased to have the addresses of any citizens of Georgia whose sight is so defective that they can not read ordinary print.
It will take some time to get ready to start this work, and will need the intelligent and sympathetic co-operation of a large number of citizens.
You are earnestly requested to be one of the "tenth legion."

SCHOOL IMPROVEMENT CLUB'S REPORT.
ATHENS, GA., May 30, 1908.
The extension of School Improvement Club work for the past year has been carried on chiefly by correspondence, and in the distribution of literature on that and allied subjects. I have personally visited ten counties and some communities in other counties.
\iVhile county organization (with few exceptions only) are not developing rapIdly in strength and resources, the local club movement has been rapid, thorough and satisfactory. As the reports are not sent in until the general closing of the common schools, and sometimes as late as July, no complete 'statement can be made as to the exact amount of work done.
We can not hope to get tabulated statements concerning this line of endeavor, as the \vhole movement has been planned brgely for the development' of individual and community interest; looking not so much to reports and statistics, as to the awakening of a lively sense of responsibility among the patrons and friends of the schools.
In many small towns the School Improvement Club has been united wIth Civic Improvement, Library, and Garden
Clubs, and reports from these are largely in the nature ai
voluntary statements: Added to this is the fact that many schools in our county districts have had flourishing clubs, but only by accident has their existence become known to those of us outside those counties. In many cases the teachers or officers think the county commissioners have reported their excellent work, while they, good men, busy about many things, are sure that the teachers have attended to it.
Many of these clubs are of a dual nature, composed of a Mother's Club section, and of a Junior, or pupil section.

249
Wherever this partnership exists, with a well-trained teachelto direct, W5 find well-equIpped school rooms, libraries, well-behaved children and a fine school record. Outside interest is shown in judicious tree planting, in the care of shrubs and blooming plants and in well-planned public meetings.
One faithful t5acher says: "I can not express in mere words the comfort our School Improvement Club has meant to me and to the school children. My new work this year, compared to that I had left, is an oasis in the desert, a wellspring of content whose SW6et waters are -for the healing of my bruised spirit, and for the building up of my courage and strength. No teacher tan do. her task with satisfaction to herself or the community, when she has to deal with distrust, jealousy and an overwhelming amount of adv6rse criticism; when she is looked on as an alien and treated as a foe."
This is the spirit of many letters from teachers in various sections of the State. \IV6 can not find a better argument for the existence of organizations which bring mothers il]tO close touch with teachers; stirring a mutual ?ense of responsibility into a warm enthusiasm for the be~t results to b6 gained:n , school and community.
Popular Springs school, near Dublin, Laurens county, won the prize of twenty-five dollars for the ~reatest improvement for the year past. Flint HIlI school, in Newton county, was a c1os6 competitor, and dozens deserved notice for special work.
An increased interest has been shown this past year in the work of supplying schools with much-needed books. Much help has been given by the \Voman's Club and by individuals~ In many places th6 school girls and boys have earned the money to buy the books. and have been helped by their ad-'- miiii1g parents.' Whel~e this spirit of independence can be ' cultivated ~5 -have s~en the greatest results.' "Folks prize; what they work for," saidasch60l boy, patting with a loving'!

250
hand a "Life of Napoleon." "I picked cotton in the broiling sun in September to help buy this book and its worth it every time."
The planning for school gardens has not met with such encouragement as the library movement has received, but enough has been accomplished in a common sense, practical way, to show that the plan is feasible and needs only time, patience and leadership to develop satisfactorily.
Space will not permit a list of those successful organizations where persistent efforts are made to bring schools to a state of efficiency and to make them the social as well as the intellectual centers of interest f~r the community. It is weil to say, in this connection, that the mothers' clubs out in the real country are doing much good work, studying conditions, working out problems and getting in touch with the work of the great outside world concerning educational movements. The true value of such organized thought and energy can not be measured in tangible results. We do see the good done in practic?-l ways, although these are but the outer symbols of the deeper, finer currents set in motion by the determination "to do right by our school." The secretary of a Mothers' School Improvement Club, which holds its meetings at a small cross-roads country school, wrote: "At our first meeting this fall we took up for discussion the question of the w inter fuel for the school. Last year the children had colds and sickness, and one little boy died of pneumonia, so we decided that the club must look after this and not leave it to Tom, Dick and Harry to haul wood whenever it was needed. .We argued that if city parents paid taxes and incidental fees for their children's schooling we could do something, so we voted to collect a fee of twenty-five cents a head at the opening of school, and the treasurer of the club to act as chairman of the finance committee for the school to collect the money,
buy the wood, have it cut and store it in a dry place. The
club members headed the list and although it was hard on us,

I
251
baving five children in school, I took my dose and paid the assessment. We sent this list around promptly and everybody -except one paid up without grumbling. That one was Mr. G. who is rich enough to buy DUt the rest; instead he sent a load of sappy, old field pine which was mightily nigh as crossgrained as himself."
While the results of the year's work are showing up in 3. very encouraging way, the fact remains that a large proportion of our rural population has not been influenced nor even reached except indirectly through teachers and through county institutes. Where oratorical contests have be6n held some interest has been shown in the betterment of school conditions, but large tracts of Georgia, especially in the mountains, are practically undiscovered and undisturbed territory. How to reach these fathers and mothers and gain their good will is the problem now confronting us.
In planning for the summer it has been suggested to county school workers to have prizes offered for the best work accomplished by children at home during the long vacation. Such prizes can be awarded to girls for flowers, garden vegetables, sewing, cooking, canning fruit, preserving, jellying, chickens, etc.: for the boys rewards might be given for best vegetables, corn, cotton, groundpeas, sugar cane, chickens, pigs, calves, and colts.
Good cooking and good housekeeping are so essential to the welfare of our people, we hope next year to emphasize the needs of such domestic contests in all our counties.
The school improvement pr0blem brings with it many others not easy of solution, "a wheel within wheels," but we hope through our earnest workers to reach all of our people, in all sections of the State, until we have schools suited to the needs of the children, teachers properly trained for their positions and best of all, parents awake to the needs of their children, and alive to the responsibility of their positions as guardians of our public good.

1
252
In January last a sub-committee of the educational committee of the State Federation of Woman's Clubs was appointed for school improvement work, 'thereby enlisting the co-operation of those club workers who may be able to help the county school officials and teachers in the promotions of such organizations.
The extension of the School Improvement Club idea has been advanced materially by the county school commissioners and in many instances they have helped forlorn efforts and inspired success where defeat seemed imminent.
They deserve most hearty thanks for such timely support, and for the patience and courtesy shown \vhen circumstances did not seem to warrant the organization of county clubs.
Thanks are also given to the many earnest and strong f1 iends of ~ducation throughout the State who have aided in every way possible this movement for better school houses, and for advancement of community life along the lines projected by the workers for school improvement.
Very respectfully,
]'dRS. \VALTER B. HILL.
REPORT OF THE EDUCATIONAL WORK OF THE FEDERATION OF \VOMEN'S CLUBS OF GEORGIA.
Hon. Jere M. Pound, State School Commissioner. DEAR SIR: It is with deep regret that I find myself unable
to be in Brunswick to speak a word to the county school Commissioners of the work of the club women of Georgia in behaH of education. And, first, let me assure you that we are convinced that the effectiveness of our work depends largely upon the hearty sympathy and active cooperation of the coun-

253
ty school commissioners. More than ten years ago we had the pleasure of meeting with you in Macon. On that occasion we begged your assistance in establishing. women's clubs~es pecially mother's clubs~in the country districts; suggesting that your teachers might be the proper ones to inaugurate the movement for a closer understanding between the home and school, for the moral and mental uplift of the entire community through the agency of the schools and traveling libraries, the latter of which we were then introducing, and for the brightening of the monotonous lives of the country women ~the farmer women~in Georgia. \Ve wrote to every county' school.commissioner in the State in pursuance of this work, 2nd to many teachers and prominent women whose names they gave us. Many of the clubs appointed school committees to visit the schools, to keep in close and vital touch with the teachers, to observe the comfort and hygienic conditions of the buildings and to urge the beautifying of the school-rooms and school-grounds.
The federation has contended for twelve years that the need of the South was industrial education, for white and black, and that it should be and could be directly grafted upon the public school system as now existent in the rural districts of our State.
In pursuance of this belief, the Federation secured a scholarship at Oread Institute, \Vorcester, Massachusetts, which was awarded to l\Iiss Turnbull, a pupil of the Girl's Industrial School, Milledgeville. Miss Turnbull took the two years' course and returned to Georgia to train young teachers in the same institution from which she went forth.
Another scholarship was obtained at Teacher's College, Columbia University, New York, which was awarded to Miss Wilburn, who has successfully demonstrated, in our Georgia schools, the value of her training, as Mr. Duggan, of Hancock county, will testify.

254
The Federation has contributed at least three thousand dollars to maintain scholarships at the State Normal Sc11001 at Athens. But, first and foremost, it has demonstrated its faith by the establishment and maintenance of three model schools in the rural districts. These schools, in Watters district, Floyd county, at Cass Station, and at Danielsville, are now largely self-supporting, and in time will become entirely so. T11e efforts of the clubs will this year be concentrated upon the Tallulah school, for whieh we already have in hand a considerable amount. Good libraries have been sent to these schools, and to many more by local clubs or by our efficient State chair-
man of library work, Mrs. E. G. McCabe.
The observance of Arbor Day has been encouraged by club women, and the forestry movement has been largely aided by their co-operation. It is not necessary to speak of their patient and .persistent efforts in behalf of the child la1;>or bill.
\\That are we doing now? Perhaps the following extract from a late circular letter to the clubs, by the chairman of education, will best answer the question:
"And now for a brief outline of the plans of the committee on education for the ensuing year.
So widespread are these plans that the work they embrace has been divided into four sub-committees, e.ach with Its chairman, who is a member of the State executive board and responsible to it and to you for the conduct of her especial subject.
All members of these sub-committees, and the chairman thereof, are members of the central committee on education.
KINDERGARTEN COMMITTEE.
No work of the 'Federation has been more important than that of the kinMrgarten. and Mrs. Black is justly,{Leemed its mother in Ge-orgia. The report presented by her at Tifton last year gives the first full story of kindergarten work as now

255
existent in the State. Let all interested in inaugurating kindergarten work in their community confer with Mrs. Black for advice and direction.
COMPULSORY EDUCATION.
The work of the committee on compulsory education will be in the limeli'ght of public discussion in the near future, and will probably meet with such measure of opposition as is the 3hare of all plans for reform.
Such opposition, should it come, will in nowise discourage the Federation, whose thoughts for social betterment must always be "long, long thoughts," and whose watchword is patienC'e.
No better woman can be found than Mrs. Warren Boyd to represent every phase of this important 'question.
LOCAL TAXATION.
Like compulsory education, the necessity for local taxation has been for many year:> one of the issues of the Federation. It is more necessary each day in Georgia, as each day our educational necessities become greater.
Will not every club inform itself and report to Mrs. Edward F. Brown, our able chairman, the exact status of its county in this matter and the temper of the county in reference to this question?
SCHOOL IMPROVEMENT.
Mrs., Walter B. -Hill, one of the earliest and best club women in the State, will add this chairmanship in the Federation to the school improvement work, which she has for several years carried on under the campaign committee of t~e co?ference for education in the South. The work of beautifying and making better the rural sclJ.Qols of Georgia is as old in the Federation as its life itself, and the two bodies can greatly

1
256
strengthen and help' each other. Such an alliance between them is already in operation in sl!veral of the Southern States. In Alabama the School Improvement League was organized by means of a call through the Alabama Federation of Women's Clubs. In South Carolina the School Improvement League, immediately upon being formed, joined the State Teachers' Association and 'the South Carolina Federation of Women's Clu.bs, thus putting itself into organic connection with the two great bodies which represent the teaching profession, on on.e side, and the public on the other.
In Kentucky, the large work of school improvement has been done in close touch with the work of the committee on education of the Kentucky Federation of Clubs. In Georgia the school improvement work of the league must now be aided, in every way possible, by the clubs of the Georgia Federation.
THE CEN'fRAL COMMITTEE.
And now for the work of the central committee on education. As always, its especial activity will lie along the line of . the establishment and maintenance of the model schools for the rural districts of Georgia.
The schools, now six years old, have proven the experiment a sucessful one, and our hopes are high that the State will soon initiate some plan of the kind for all our schools, both white .and black.

LIBRARIES ESTABLISHED AND MAINTAINED BY THE FEDERATED CLUB WOMEN FOR THE BENSFIT OF SMALL TOWNS AND RURAL SCHOOLS OF GEORGIA.
Acworth, Bainbridge, Valdosta, Cartersville, Dalton, Tifton, Woodbury, Kingston, Norcross, Covington and Poplar Springs, are some of the towns in which these libraries are
17 ss c

258
owned by the club women, but free to all citizens, and the school children as well.
Cartersville and Tifton not only have the public library, but, in addition, transport books from school to school in their -respective counties; thus, with a limited number of volumes, furnishing fresh literature to the children.
The interest in libraries is growing, and there are few dubs which do not participate in the forward movement. When the -home town does not need assistance the clubs supply the :school, or schools, in their own county.
If there were only a live, active club in each county the 'question of books for the bookless would be greatly simplified. Until this state of affairs is established, the State Committee makes all possible effort to respond to the demands, either by referring the applicant to its nearest club, or supplying the needed books from its own collection. There is no money on hand with which to purchase books, but we depend upon the gifts, which, from time to time, come from friends of the cause. Like the "widow's cruise," the supply is never entirely exhausted. Through one of these gifts the 'Committee was able to furnish the nucleus of a fine reference library at the normal school in Athens. The books were beyond the need of the local school, but were most appropriate for use at the college, which each year sends out hundreds of young men and women, who are to be our Georgia school teachers, and the Federation was very happy to be able, through these gifts, to send to the school teachers, riches in mind, riches in soul, through a wider knowledge.
LIBRARY DAY.
For two years the 22d of February has been made Library Day, with encouraging success. Book showers, concerts, readings, or simple collections, make the order of the day, and

259
many good .books are amassed on that day with which to gladden the empty-handed lovers of books.
We hope that next year the school commission will observe the day. They will find that a definite day, appointed for making the start for a library, or for enlarging the old one, will greatly facilitate matters.
The last report of library commission, in November last, gave nearly I2,000 vqlumes in use through the efforts of the club WQmen. Since that was given wonderful strides have been made. One club (College Park) has just donated a hundred and fifty books to a little school, and has appointed a librarian to keep the library open during the vacation. Surely a good idea for all the neighborhoods. In all that we may be able to accomplish we wish it to be done in perfect co-operation with the commissioners and school authorities, for only in that way do we expect lasting results.

Mr. J. M. Pou,nd, Stolte School Commissioner, Atlanta, Ga.
My DEAR MR. POUND: Before sending you report of the Seaboard Air Line Free Traveling Library system I wish to know if you wish the report to include the work of I908 up to the present time? I have a most interesting report from January, I907, to January, I908, but will not send it until hearing from you.
It is interesting to know that our record shows that the work in Georgia includes !O3 schools, and that this spring twelve (I2) or more of these schools have established school

260
gardens, and twenty (20) rural communities have become library centers.
r am pleased 'to state that the work has now a strong foot-
hold in Georgia, and the future outlook for further extension is most promising.
While our meeting in Atlanta was very enjoyable, it was unsatisfactory in many ways, as we did not have an opportunity of talking about things of mutual interest.
r hope at an early date that we may have the pleasure of
having the promised visit from you.
r beg to remain, with high regard,
Very truly yours,
MRS. EUGENE B. HEARD.

HON. w. B. MERRITT. Resolved, That we, the county school commlSSlOners of Georgia in convention assembled, send friendly greetings to our former State School Commissioner, Hon. W. B. Merritt, and express our appreciation of the profound interest mani-

-tested by him in the public schools of Georgia and his efficient services done for them during his administration.
RESOLUTIONS ON DECEASED COMMISSIONERS.
The following report was offered by the Committee on Deceased County School Commissioners, and was unanimously adopted:
"Since the last annual convention of county school commissioners, God in his wisdom has seen fit to remove from our midst four of our most active and useful members, viz.:
"Hon. N. A. Crawford, of Lincoln county, who was in active service in the cause of education at the ripe old age of eighty-five years. For his honesty and faithful services he had the respect of all who knew him.
"Hon. H. M. Kaigler, of Macon county, another veteran at the age of seventy-nine years, has passed over the river and rests under the shade of the trees. He was born and raised in Georgia, married a Georgia woman, and his remains rest in Georgia soil. He served as county school commissioner for a quarter of a century.
"And still another veteran has been taken during the year,
Hon. J. B. Bond, of McIntosh county. He was about seventy-
five years of age, and had served as county school commissioner for a number of years with satisfaction to his people.
"Hon. R. A. Clayton, of Bartow county, although comparatively young in years, was a veteran in the cause.
"Resolved, That in the death of these four brethren we have sustained a loss that will be felt for years to come.
"We request that a copy of these resolutions be sent to the families of these deceased brethren, and that we extend our heartfelt sympathies to the families of eacp.
"Furthermore, we have heard with sadness of the death of former county school commissioner, Hon. H. W. Wooding, whose memory is still very dear to us. Col. Wooding was not a county school commissioner at the time of his death, but be-

266

cause of his great interest in the cause of education and in this Association, he had been made a life member of this body by a unanimous vote of the members at the time of his withdrawal from his official relations as county school commissioner.
R. M. MCCASLAN,
J. O. MANGHAM,
M. L. BURCH, Committee. "

RE;SOLUTION OF THANKS.

Resolved, That we tender our thanks to the people of Bruns-

wick for their hearty reception and most cordial hospitality.

Everything has been done to make our stay pleasant, and de-

parting, we will carry with us the most pleasant recollections

of a meeting that has been doubly memorable for its unstinted

cordiality and thoughtful entertainments. We wish especially

to thank Prof. N. H. Ballard and the board of education of

Glynn county for their unceasing attent.ion; the hotels for re-

duced rates; the press for their notices of our meetings; the

citizens of Brunswick for excursions both by land and water;

and last, but not least, the young people of the city schools for

their unique invitation to come, and their hearty welcome after

our arrival.

J. B. WIGHT, Chairman.

Resolved, That. we recommend the adoption of such an amendment to the Constitution as will allow the establishment in each county of high schools aided by the State, as the General Assembly may direct.
Resolved, That we most heartily welcome to the head of the educational interest of Georgia our new State School Commissioner, and that we pledge to him our loyal support and co. operation in upbuilding the educational interests of the State.
We, the Committee on Resolutions, in compliance with a request made by the Confederated Southern Memorial Associa-

267
tion, respectfully recommend that the State School Commis-sioner send out to the proper officials such instructions as hemay in his wisdom deem proper, that such exercises be held at the different schoolhouses in Georgia on the one hundredth anniversary of the birth of President Jefferson Davis, as wiU impress on the rising' generation the valuable lessons of hispatriotic life and undying devotion to duty and to his beloved Southland.

REFORMATORY WORK IN GEORGIA.
GEORGIA STATE REFORMATORY.
MILLEDGEVILLE, GA., JYIarch ~n, 1908.
H on. Jere M. Pound, State School Commissioner, Atla~lta, Ga. DEAR SIRs: .Your letter asking for data in regard to the
Georgia State Reformatory received. As you doubtless remember, the establishment of the reformatory was authorized by the Legislature in 1905. The building was erected in 1906 and was opened for inmates on December I, 1906.
There are now thirty-one white inmates and twenty-four r.egro inmates.
The crimes for which the inmates have been convicted are: Rape, attempt to rape, murder, manslaughter, burglary, larceny and escaping from other prisons. There is only one building in which both races are quartered. None but those who have the daily management of the inmates can conceive of the difficulty o.f keeping both races in the same building. According to the sanitary rules of the number of cubic feet of air per capita, we have sleeping space for sixty-five inmates. At the present rate of increase that space will soon be occupied. The institution is seriously in need of additional buildings, plumbing for the present building, and equipment for the school.
The plans and purposes of the institution is to protect society from the depradations of young criminals, and to save such criminals from themselves and from a life of idleness and crime by substituting for it a life of regular habits of industry in some useful employment.
To teach them the elementary branches of an English education, and to teach them a useful trade so that when they

273
go out from the Reformatory they will, in some sense, be prepared to maintain themselves in a reputable way and not have to descend to crime for a support.
While the class of people we handle is not composed of the most promising material for improvement, yet we are pleased to say that we can begin to see the results of training in some of the inmates who have been here for the longest period.
And the writer confidently believes that if the lawmakers in their wisdom see fit to provide the necessary means for -conducting the business of the institution on a proper plane, that the institution properly managed, will prove to be a great blessing to the State.
With best wishes, I am, Yours sincerely,
B. T. BETHUNE, Superintendent.
FULTON COUNTy INDUSTRIAL FARM, HAPEVILLE, GA.
This institution was opened for the admission of juvenile offenders on February, I9, I902.
The object of the institution is to develop the wards, physically, mentally, morally and religiously.
To do this they are taught to look on the citizens of the ,county as friends (shown in the provision made to fur'nish them an opportunity to learn how to live decently and hon,estly) .
They are taught three hours, five days in the week, in the' essential elements of an English education; are taught to do whatever is necessary to be done on the farm; bottoming of -chairs, carpentering, blacksmith work, harness and shoe-mending, canning vegetables and fruit, making syrup, sewing, washing. cooking, building, trucking, milking, etc.
18 sse

274

Hours for work, study, eating, play and sleep are adhered
to strictly. A little promiscuous play at noon is allowed
every day. They have books to read during spare moments, baseball Saturday afternoons, and house games for Saturday night; singing three times a week. Sunday-school and preaching on Sunday. On Sunday afternoon some kind of refreshments are served at 3 p. m.
After Sunday-school in the morning, we have military exercises till noon for the purpose of working off the exuberance which has by that time accumulated from inaction.
The theory is to have good influence always before, them,. and something definite in view for twenty-four hours a day. No such thing as idle time hanging heavy.
When the ward has reached that stage in self-control and good impulses which commends him to the authorities as a suitable subject for parole, he is placed in a position, neatly dressed, and all provisions made for his board. He is not disturbed so long as he keeps at work and pays his debts, but if he gives up his position without cause, and fails to find another, he is required to report at the farm.
All wards wish to find their relatives, and have a place to visit. It matters not how unworthy they are.
The serious hindrance to the paroled boy is to have h~s good resolutions slip away from him on account of the same evil influences which caused him to fall the first time. The old environment has so far been a serious hindrance to the ward on parole.
