Mrs. Julia P. Bryant passed Sunday Morning, February 21, 
1965, in the Bulloch County Hospital. She was a retired teacher of 
the Bulloch County School System where she served as teacher, 
principal, and Jeanes Supervisor. She will be long remembered, 
highly respected, and deeply appreciated by the people of this 
county and state for the active part she played in helping to provide 
educational opportunities for the hoys and girls of this community. 
In her early years of service as Jeanes Supervisor, she traveled 
the back roads of this county day and night meeting with parents, 
a 
selecting and training teachers, and organizing schools in churches 
and lodge halls. She organized Parent Teacher Associations in all 
of these schools and spent many of her afternoon and evening hours 
teaching parents how to sew and make clothing for their child- 
ren. 
She believed that the aims of education could be served better 
through a program of consolidation, and was instrumental in or- 
ganizing four Junior High Schools in strategic centers throughout 
the county. These centers served well their purposes until mass 
consolidation took place in 1954 when she retired from active 
service. Perhaps, the crowning of her faithful years of service 
here on earth came in 1963 when the Bulloch County Board of 
Education, upon the recommendation of the people, built a 20 
teacher elementary school in Statesboro, the center of the county, 
and named it in honor of her  The Julia P. Bryant Elementary 
School.

SERVICE 
Id like to think when life is done 
That I had filled a needy post. 
That here and there I'd paid my fare 
With more than idle talk and boast: 
That I had taken gifts divine, 
The breath of life and manhood fine. 
And tried to use them now and then 
In service for my fellow men.
