WAYNE COUNTY SCHOOLS
Any public school systern should be judged by two different standards, to-wit: (1) ideal conditions, towards which it should always strive; and (2) past conditions, from which it has made substantial progress.
Measured by the first, Wayne County has much hard work ahead before the public schools shall attain the efficiency that the needs of Wayne County children indicate; measured by the second, there is great cause for gratification and hope of attaining the first.
Depending mainly upon its timber and turpentine, tlie population of the county has been uncertain and shifting, making it difficult to build up permanent schools. Comparatively small portions of the county have even yet been well developed agriculturally; but the original timber is now practically gone, and the county is developing its agricultural resources. This gives promise of future permanency.
I n spite of adverse conditions, gratifying progress has been made. The rate of progress is hard to realize, except by comparing conditions at certain stated periods. Then it is seen that more progress is being accomplished than in some of the older and, supposedly, more progressive counties. After all, probably the character and rate of progress is of most importance.
THEN AND NOW.
The first official inspection and report upon any county school systems in Georgia was done in 1906, under direction of Hon. W. B. Merritt, State School Commissioner. This work reached only parts of a few counties, and Wayne County was one of them. Hon. W. R. Smith, in his published report to the State School Commissioner, of his "survey" in Wayne County, says:

"The first scliool I visited pays the teacher eighteen dollars per month, and the patrons add four more dollars to this man's salary. The county school commissioner supports his family, pays rent, keeps his horse and buggy, and received forty dollars per month for his services. However, his school work seems to all that can interest him, so be will finally succeed."
Present conditions fully verify this prophecy. The first Rural School Supervisor for Georgia (Prof. R. H. P o ~ ~ ~ enlolw, President South Georgia State Normal School) devoted a considerable portion of his first year's work to Wayne County. This was in 1910. The work was fundamental in its nature, such as creating and stimulating sentiment for better school conditions, waging a campaign for better financial support of the schools (local taxation), planning consolidations, better school houses, etc., etc. As a result of these efforts and previous work by the county superintendent the county voted "for local taxation" in 1910.
I n 1910 the total public school fund was . . . . . . . .$ 9,786.80
I n 1915 the total public school fund is. . . . . . . . . . . .$28,265.34
Showing an increase in five years of nearly 300%
In 1910 the length of the school year w a s . . . . . . . . . . ..80 days
I n 1915 the length of the school year w a s . . . . . . . . . . . l l 0 days Showing an increase in five years of. . . . . . . .37%
I n 1910 the monthly salaries of teachers averaged. .$ 37.77
In 1915 the monthly salaries of teachers averaged. . . .$ 51.20 Showing an increase in five years of . . . . . . . .35%
I n 1910 total value of school property in county was $17,775.00
In 1915 total value school property in county was $54,036.00 Showing an increase in five years of over. . . .300%
There are rnany educational agencies actively at work in the county in 1916 that were not even thought of in 1910, such as the Farm Demonstration and Home Economics PTorkunder trained agents, and a wide-spread and more vital interest in public schools generally.
The photographs of some of the present public school build-

ings in the county and the old ones replaced by them, as shown in the following pages, will give striking indications of progress accomplished in the past few years.
The greater dissatisfaction at present conditions and increasing demand for still greater progress manifested through out the county are probably the best evidences of what is to be.
The success of the Agricultural and Home Economics workers is particularly gratifying. There has been bitter prejudice against this work in the county, but the number of members of the corn, canning, and pig clubs, distributed through nearly all the schools of the county, give evidence of the progress in the public sentiment and fully justifies the wisdom and persistence of the school officials.
THE NEGRO SCHOOLS.
There are eighteen negro schools in the county, negro population being small. These have made very little progress, as their photographs given herein will show. They are without equipment, with one exception, having nothing more than very poor blackboards. Salaries for the negro teachers vary from $110.00 to $175.00.
SUGGESTIONS FOR THE FUTURE.
1. The educational interests of the children of the county demand better schools and longer terms than the present school funds will pay for.
The rate of t a x levied against the property for the benefit of the children is only twenty-five cents on the hundred. For the sake of the children, the property can stand a higher rate. Some counties are raising more money locally for their schools than they receive from the State; and every county ought to. Nearly half of the property of Wayne County as returned for taxation is owned by railroads and other corporations; and therefore little over half of any school t a x levied is borne by the people whose children get the benefit. Under these circumstances, the people will stand for a higher school tax. A more liberal maintenance is a t the bottom of the solution of nearly all of our educational problems.

6. There are too many schools in the county. By observing their location with reference to each other as given in this bulletin, it will be seen that the school districts are generally below the minimum size contemplated by la117 (16 square miles). A consolidation of many of the small schools into larger ones will admit of more teachers to each school, thus greatly increasing their efficiency. At every one-teacher scliool there are, necessarily, more lessons per day than any one teacher can well teach. The children are the sufferers. The administration should take the lead in this important matter, but can not succeed without the eo-operation of the patrons concerned. It will also involve some seeming sacrifices on the part of patrons, but the gains in increased efficiency will more than justify any apparent loss.
