GA Educational Survey of Morgan County Georgia By M. L. DUGGAN, Rural School Agent No. 5 Under the Direction of the DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION M. L. BRITTAIN State Superintendent of Schools 1915 %(^'^ AIM. To make every school in Morgan County as good as the best school in Morgan County. (To do tills will necessitate the sacrificing of many iiidividiial l)refei'ences and prejudices, but it's worth while.) RECOMMENDATIONS. 1 . A consolidation of some of the small one-teacher schools where located too close together. (The law contemplates four miles as a minimum, and efficiency demands as much. A three-teacher school can ordinarily render three times as good service to each i)ui)il as a one- teacher school.) 2. A more liberal maintenance to support a longer school year. (The children of the rural districts deserve it and the taxable l)roperty of the county can w(dl afford it. People ai'e more important than pi-o])erty.) .1 More attention to the organization and direction of Boys' Corn Clubs and Girls' Canning Clubs in co-operation with the De- partment of Agriculture. (It will [)ay to keep in close and active touch with thest' prac- tical educational movements of the National (ioverinnent.) Note: Some conditions re{)orted herein will i)rovoke inquiries that should be answered by those most immediately concerned, such as irregularities of attendnmr at sonn^ of the schools, etc. COUNTY BOARD OF EI H'CA'PK )X.

It is well worthy of iiotf that there exists in Madison, the county seat, a Woman "s Civic ("lul) which appreciates the iniral school teachers. Tender the h'a(h'rship of its I'l-esident, Airs. K. S. Bird, this club lias pi'ovi(hM! and maintains an attractive Kest Room at the City Hall ^\•here all the iMiral tea(diei's are welcomed when in town. The cluh has also ii-enei-ally enttM-tained the teach- ers at huudieon and in other ways on tlu^ days of theii' regular monthly teacdiei's' meetings. The citizens enter heai'tily into these attentions to the rural school teachei's of their countw School Districts"^ Location of Schools jASPEi Morgan County. Morgan was among tli. .arliest counties to adopt county- wide local taxation; and the entire county, excepting only the municipality of Madison, has for 6 years been operated under this system. This includes several small towns ami villages with good high schools. Compare the progress attained and the rate of the local tax levy (two mills) with other counties where the district svstem prevails. Countv-wide local taxation means not only a more liberal fi- nancial maintenance, but also a stronger central unit of admm- istration. The degree of school improvement atta.n.d here was possible onlv under these conditions, and should he sui^Kunt proof to commend the plan to other counties. Begiuniiitj' tlic sui-V(\v of tlic public scliools of Morgaii ("ouiity the second week in ^May 1 liad only two weeks before their clos- ing- dates. Sucli limitation jji't-vcntcd the possibility of any very thorough inspection of the work being (U)nc in tlie seliools. Tliis survey, therefore, lias to do mainly with the physical conditions of the scliools and some other features the investigations of which did not necessarily de|)end upon the schools being in session. The ending of llie school year, however, did make it possible to in- corporate in this i-eport the number of days that each pupil at- tended during the whole school year, to which I particularly in- vite the close attention of the ])atrons concerned. Physical Conditions. The photographs given herein do not fully portray the physi- cal efficiency attained at these schools, as at some of them many things had been accomplished that no picture could fully show, while at all of them the greatest improvements were to be seen on the inside. Even where they are still occupying old and un- suitable buildings their interiors have been made sanitary, com- fortable, and beautiful in every instance. Indeed, some of the oldest and most unsuitable l)uildings, which are being used only until better ones can be built, have been so transformed in- side as to afford a most pleasant surju-ise to any casual visitor. As for instance in the case of the Walker School, where tem- porarily a tenant house in a field is l)eing used, we found the wiinlows carefully screened and tastefully curtained; the floors well oiled ; the wall well ceiled and hung with intelligently se- lected framed pictures and school decorations, such as pennants, flags, etc.; single desks of suitable sizes and properly si)aced; globes, ma])s, charts, etc.; and a w^dl cared for school garden of small dimensions in the yard. Neither can any picture show all of the beauties of the well- ])!anned school gardens, yards, play groumls, sanitary toilets, and other improvements accomplished at nearly all of the schools of the county, or the manner in which both grounds and buildings are kept. In the proportionately large number of school build- ings that will measure up to best ideals in school architecture; in the sanitary, comfortable, ami attractive manner in which all of the grounds and buildings appear to be constantly kept ; in the number and sanitary condition of school toilets; in the matter of school <'(piipment, and in the nuinbei- ami character of school gardens, Morgan County stands in the very forefront. In these important respects I have not yet seen any county that quite equals it. A Model Country School. Probably the one school in the county that has accomplished the most in all of these respects, and is, therefore, serving its community best, is the Bethany School. We do not think it an exaggeration to say that a visit to this remarkable rural school plant would be worth as much to the average rural school teacher as an attendance upon a short session at any good Normal Scliool. Any fair report that I can write of this and several other schools of the county Avill seem exaggerations to the reader who has not seen them. There are, doubtless, as satisfactory conditions to be found at many other rural schools in Georgia, but pro])al)ly not so many of them in any otlier one county. Supervision and Administration. The teachers, pui)ils, and }>atrons (h'serve much of the credit for these gratifying conditions, but such luiiformly good conditions could not liave prevailetl throughout the county without strong and intelligent administration. With- out a doubt great credit should be accorded to Super- intendent E. S. l)ird and Supervisor (J. S. Parrisli. Both superintendent and supervisor have worked constantly, i)ersis- tently and intelligently with teachers and })atrons for definite ends, and have accomplished them. The sui)ervisor has in this county attempted far more than the regular monthly institute work with the teachers, for she has also visited all of the schools of the county with the superintendent, inspecting and directing the Avork throughout the county. The superintendent has kept up a constant visitation to his schools, devoting his entire time and energies to their interests. Teachers, pupils, and patrons have generally responded heartily to such active interests in their respective schools, and have given proof of their ai^precia- tion l)y their active co-operation. A Commendable Spirit. There is noticeable throughout the county a spirit of loyalty and school pride that is most helpful to the cause ; and in each respective community proportional to the degree of efficiency at- tained in the school plant. This would seem to be l)oth a cause and a result, and certainly most gratifying. This shows up strongest among the pupils, and is promoting their proper educa- tion. The beginning of progressive movements for the public schools of .Morgan ("ounty ])robabl^' dates back to 1909 wlien the county voted " For Local Taxation" foi- the sui)port of her schools. A year j)revious to this the county voted "Against Local Taxation," but upon the second election, like a number of other counties in the State, the measure carried by a safe majority. The school tax rate has never been above two mills (the present rate levied), and often lower. The county received last year from the State >|^1 7.469.87, and the local tax levy adch'd to this, $(),S1().68, nmkiiig a total school fund of $24,280.50. This has enabled the Board of Education generally to pay off the teachers promptly, and hence to secure good teacliers. The Teachers. With a reasonably liberal iiuuiiteiianci' fund secured through county-wide local taxation, and with a reasonably short school year, the Board of Education has been enabled to secure good, trained teachers for practically all of their schools. A careful study of the teaching force of the county syst(Mn shows 50 teachers employed, of Avhom one iiolds third grade li- cense, three hold second grade license, and forty-six hold first grade license. Twenty of these teachers have luul regular train- ing at one of the State Normal Schools, while seven others hold A. I^. dii)lonuis fi'om standard colleges. Several have had i)0st- graduate courses at some of the great universities. With only two or three exceptions these teachers have all had two or more years" experience. Standard Schools. It is worthy of si)ecial iu)te that fifteen of the county's schools luive been standardized. In this respect P^ulton County only stands ahead of Morgan. The Braswell Fund. Tn 1867, under the will of a Mr. IJraswell, there was left to the Ordinary of Morgan County a fund of about ."j^o.OOO.OO, in- creased later l)y Mrs. Kolb to about .$8,000.00, to be used for the education of indigent or])han children of the county. This fund was so wisely invested and nuinaged that it now amounts to al)Out $80,000., notwithstanding that it is used to su])ply tuition, l)ooks, stationery, etc., for all orphan children of th<' county. .10 ■mMS^^^.. -Bethany School, I'-MO. -^—Bethany School, 1^115. trial Exhibit. 4— Bare Places Made Beautiful.

High School: Four year High School, fully accredited in the Southern Association of Accredited Schools. Tlie lligii School f^aculty consists of four teachers and half of the tinu' of the Superintendent. All these teachers are A. B. college graduates, holding certificates of the highest grade. The work of the school is departmental from the sev- entli grade through the High School. The High School enrollment is 20 per cent of the en- tire enrollment of the school. The number of graduates for the past three years has averaged 16 \)ev cent of the High School enrollment. Hig-h School Department. Faculty: J. H. Purks, Supt. and Department of Mathenmtics (A. B.

Athletics: Tlic student body seems very much interested in ath- letics. Basket ball, base ball, and track events are the main features. The teaching force ap})roi)riates this in- terest in the scliool room work. The Madison High School course is so arranged as to articulate well Avith the State Course as it operates through tlie seventh grade in the rur- al school. The si)irit of co-operation between the IMadison City Schools and the County System of Public is beautiful. What is of interest to the one is felt to be of interest to the other. 75 EIGHTH DISTRICT AGRICULTURAL SCHOOL. (An Accredited School.) Located at Madison, Ga. FACULTY. W. G.

"Educational results and good teaching generally are not often secured in a shiftless looking building in which neither patrons, pupils, nor teachers take any pride. Indefiniteness has been removed at this point through the standard school. In the larger towns and cities pressure of public sentiment and the comment of visitors will sooner or later force good educational condi- tions — and they are improving constantl.v. Sural Communities need to be shown and inspired by educational leaders and we have sent diplomas to more than one hundred county schools where the superintendents have certiiied to the fact that they have measured up to the standard in every i)articular. Fulton, Newton, Morgan and Hancock have received half of these, and there are a nnm])er of localities in the State where the feeling is that no rural community in the county is able to bring its school up to these very reasonable require- ments. 1 cannot help but think that this is a mistaken view and that some standard schools could be secured in every county in Georgia and that these would serve to inspire the others to progress. Superintendents have written tliat the use of this efficiency test has developed more progress in the past twelve months than for years previous in the way of improvement. The plan is of no value, however, where it is not used or applied and I earnestly hope we will have the effort at least of every superintendent in the State to have his count.v represented on this roll of honor. The list will be published in the next Annual Eeport. The standard is not unreasonably high and no more than the Georgia parent has the right to expect, ('opies should l)e posted in every county school room in the State and can be secured for this purpose at any time on apjdication to the State Department of Education. To be entitled to a diploma a school should measure u]> to tlie standard in tlie following particulars:" I. ' (i. (4i)od Doors with Locks and Keys. 7. Glean and Well-kept. IV. Equipment, 1.
