THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS OF ROME.
GOOD AS THE BEST
They Rank Among the Very First of
the South
SUPT- HARRIS’ SPLENDID WORK
He is One of the South’s Lead
ing Educators.
AN EFFICIENT CORPS OF TEACHERS
The Schools Are Up-to-Date in Every
Particular, And Most Excellent
Work is Done.
In the excellence of her public
Bchool system Rome stands without a
superior in the land.
This refers not only to the supe
riority of the teachers, the well
equipped buildings and the high stan
dard, but to the details of actual
work, beginning at the lowest grade
and continuing through to gradua
tion. There is a careful and con
scientious regard in each and every
department for the advancement and
solid improvement of the pupil, and
no fear or favoritism is shown in hold
ing all to strict requirement.
The main buildings are located on
tower hill, from where an excellent
view of the city and surrounding
country is obtained. These buildings
are up above the dust and smoke of
the city, and everything conduces to
healthfulness. It is an ideal locality*
for the purpose.
As early as 1875 the subject of pub
lic schools was agitated, though no
serious consideration of the matter
occurred until 1881. During that year
the mayor (Major Samuel Morgan)
and council adopted a resolution ask
ing that a bill be introduced in the
legislature looking to the establish
ment of a local system. Such a bill
was introduced by Hon. Seaborn
row
n &
SUPERINTENDENT J. C. HARRIS.
Wright, one of the representatives
from Floyd county,during the session
of 1881; the bill was approved August
11th, 1881. Under a provision which
required that two thirds of the votes
of the city should vote in favor of this
establishment, an election was held
on December 6th, 1881, and the vote
stood: for public schools, 203, against
public schools, 107. The city attor
ney, to whom tbe matter was referr
ed, decided that the tw'o-thirds vote
had not been received and the schools
were not established.
Under the mayoralty of Col. Daniel
S. Printup, another election was or
dered for May 1, 1883. In this election
the vote stood: for public schools,
349, against public schools, 52. The
mayor and council thereupon passed
the necessary ordinances establishing
the system, levied the necessary taxes,
and in June 1883, elected the follow
ing board of trustees: J. F. Shanklin,
P. M. Sheibley, Max Meyerhardt,
John H. Reynolds, J. C. McDonald,
who organized by the election of J.
F. Shanklin as president and Max
Meyerhardt as secretary.
On December 20, 188*3, the corner
stone of the main building on Tower
Hill was laid with Masonic ceremonies,
orations having been delivered by
Hon. John S. Davidson, Grand Mas
ter Mason, of Georgia, and President
J. F. Shanklin. The building was
completed and furnished by October
1, 1884, and the first c ' °«ion of the
schools began October 12th -nder the
superintendency .of tl elatel i tented
Benjamin F. Neely, who rem net! in
charge of them until bis ueath in
December 1892. The board of trus
tees then elected as superintendent,
James C. Harris, who entered on the
discharge of his duties December 1,
1892
The place of president of the board
was made vacant by the death of
Capt. M. M. Pepper, and Mr. J. L.
Camp was elected to fill the place.
Capt. W. H. Steele is the secretery,
and a most excellent one.
The attendance during the past
year has been over 1200, the largest in
the history of the schools, and much
splendid work has been done.
Superintendent J. C. Harris.
The excellence, and in most in
etanaces, the superiority of the Rome
public schools is easily found to be
due to the conscientious, energetic
and intelligent endeavors of Superin
tendent James. C Harris, who ranks
with the leading educators, of the
south. He stands without a superior
and with few equals, and Rome is
proud to claim him as the head of ,
tier public school system. Possessing ,
a high education, a studious mind, a
knowledge of the latest and best I
methods, a love for the work and
ability carryout the most approved I
line of work, it is but nutiirnl that,
our schools shou d become known for
their excellence, and that other
schools should try to secure Prof.
Harris. He has refused many tempt
ing offers, having become attached to
the schools here, to the city and to its
people, he has determined to put in
h’s most earnest and best work for
the children, the coming men and
women of Rome.
Prof. Harris was born in North
Carolina in 1858. Directly after the
war his father, now a leading physi
cian of Cedartown, began the prac
tice of medicine in the latter named
place, to which his family had refu
geed during the war. Prof. Harris is
the eldest of ten children, those living
being: Charles, Quartermaster 13th
U. S. Infantry; Seale, physician at
Union Springs, Ala.; Will, a promi
nent and popular insurance man at
Cedartown; his sister is the wife of
Judge C. G. Janes, of the Tallapoosa
circuit.
He has been teaching for twentv
years. Os these years a majority
was spent in Cedartown. Five years
were devoted to the building up of
the Boys High School at Marietta.
For many years he devoted himself
especially to the training of boys and
girls for college and was singul trly
successful. Many of his pupils took
honors at the University of Georgia
and elsewhere. In competitive ex
amination for places at West Point
and Annapolis those boys prepared
by him have nearly always been suc
cessful—a high compliment to his
training, in fact as strong a recoin
mendation as any teacher could well
receive.
He was given the degree of master
of arts by the University of Georgia,
in recognition of his high standing
and great educational work. Among
the positions of honor and trust that
have been held by him may be men
tioned: Grand Commander Legion of
Honor for Georgia, President High
School Depp, vinent Georgia Teachers
Association for two terms, on board
of visitors to University twice, being
president of the board last year. His
striking success as a teacher has not
gone unnoticed over the state, and
all over Georgia he is recognized as a
leading educator. He has twice been
elected to principalships in Atlanta,
but declined. He was offered, but
would not accept the principalship at
the Columbus High School. He was
also offe’ - id, but declined, thechair of
pedagog, in the normal school, prin
cipalship of Waynesboro schools, and
chair of English in Peabody Sumner
Normal school. He has taught most
successfully several normal institutes
in Georgia counties and received great
praise for his work.
This is a bare outline of some of his
work and some of the recognitions of
his ability.
Prof. Harris, after building up the
high school at Marietta, went back to
Cedartown to accept the superintend
ency of the public schools there. His
work in Marietta had met with great
success, and it was with great reluc
tance that his resignation was
accepted. The trustees passed very
complimentary resolutions, of which
the following is an extract:
“Prof. J. C. Harris has been in
charge of the Male Academy at this
place four years and a half. He was
our first teacher after the erection of
the new academy building. He be
gan with about thirty pupils, and by
the end of the first term he had more
than double that number. During
succeeding terms the school ran from
80 to 110. The enrollment of last year
has reached 140.
“Prof. Harris has made a study of
teaching, and is well up in the latest and
best methods. He has been very suc
cessful in building up and conducting
the school, as well as improving in
struction. He has worked for the men
tal and physical development of his pu
pils, and their moral training has not
been neglected.
“Our people have been united on him
during his entire charge of the Male
Academy. We would be glad to have
himiemain. He leaves at his own in
stance to take charge of the public
schools at Cedartown. We are sorry
I
■
PROF. R. J. GWALTNEY.
that he has made up his mind to go. He
will carry with him the respect and con
fidence of the trustees and patrons of
the school and the esteem of the entire
community.”
By his energv, his superior teaching,
his good judgment, his tact and his fine
discipline, he succeeded in building up
the academy from a little school with
one teacher to the largest training school
for boys in the state.
After staying two years at Cedartown
Prof. Harris accepted the call to Rome.
Among other compliments, the Cedar
town Standard said this of him: “The
Hill City may congratulate herself that
she has secured such a distinguished ed
ucator to direct her school affairs, tor
few men in tbe state possess greater
tact or ability as an organizer, and few
display more genuine or consumate ap
titude in his line than sterling hand
some Jim Harris. Greater honors and
emoluments await biin in his profession,
and the Standard rises to remark that
none will more worthily deserve them.”
Coming with such a reputation great
things were expected of Prof. Har
ris, and tie has more than fullfilled ex
THK ROME TRIBUNE, TUESDAY, MAY 26, 1»96,
oectation. The schools are in a splen
lid condition, and the pupils are trained
in the most approved and up to date
methods Rome is proud of her public
schools, and proud of that splendid ed
ucator and gentleman who is at their
heact. There isn’t his superior in the
land.
Principal and Teachers.
Prof. R. J. Gwaltney is principal of
the schools, and it would be difficult
indeed to find one in every way better
suited for the work. Possessing a
high education and the happv ability
to impart knowledge, he has made a
great success as a teacher. He is a
gentleman greatly beloved by all who
know him.
Mr. E. M. Gammon, a bright young
Roman, is his assistant. Mr. Gam
mon giaduated with distinction at
the University of Georgia in 1895,and
last fall tooK up this work, which he
has done with much ability.
The other teachets are :
Miss Kate Robeson, 7th grade A.;
Miss Helen Omberg, 7th grade B.;
Miss Laura Hume, 6th grade A ; Miss
Georgia Pepper, 6th grade B.; Miss
Mary Williamson, sth grade A : Miss
Bettie Ledbetter, sth grade B.; Mrs
Mary Shropshire, fourth grade A ;
Miss Annie Pei kins, Fourth grade B.;
Miss Battie Shropshire. 3d grade A ;

Floy Bailey, 2d grade A.; Miss Ada
Jenkins. 2d grade B : Miss Zoe East

Ist grade B.; Miss Callie Spullock, Ist
grade C.
All these are experienced and ex
cellent teachers. They are faithful
and conscientious in their work, and
no system of schools can produce a
better or more competent list.
THE COUNTY SCHOOLS.
The public school facilities of Floyd
county, like the other large and pro
gressive counties of the state, are,
taking them as a whole, generally
modern and up-to-date. For the last
few years, some very wise and whole
some innovations have been worked
into the system, which have placed it
upon a very high and commendable
basis. In several localities, the people,
in co-operating with the county
board, have erected suitable and con
venient school houses, arranged in
many respects, with all the necessary
appliances for ample and efficient
work, on the part of the teacher,
thereby resulting in the greatest
good to the pupil.
Up-to-date there are about sixty
schools in the county, presided over
by individuals, besides schools at
Cave Spring, West Rome, North
Rome, East Rome, (two in number)
and South Rome, which require from
one to three teachers in the same
building. From year to year, the in
creasing population of the colored
children require the additional num
ber of schools. And as a rule, the
people take readily the advantages,
thus afforded by the system, as a
means of educating their children.
If in no other respect, can Floyd
county boast, it can with respect, to
the number of its colored teachers.
The number is not all, indeed, of
which the county along this line,
can compare favorably with the other
large and important counties of the
state, but it can feel proud also of the
general capability and efficiency of
its teachers. While there are some,
who, by the more modern reforms
and up-to-date methods, will of neces
sity, under the keen and skilled eye of
our newly elected commissioner, Prof.
J. D. Gwaltney, be relegated to the
rear, we can safely say the majority
of them are men and women, who
keep pace with the times, and are con
versant with latest innovations which
yearly come into the system. Some of
the teachers in the county are among
the best in the state. They do not
represent simply our common and
grammar schools, as the places where
they received their training, but they
represent some of the best and most
reputable universities and seminaries
of the country; while another pecu
liar thing is, yet it is a very honorable
one, is that more than one half the
county teachers are young men and
women, who have been taught and
trained right here in Rome and in the
suburban schools. A commendable
thing about the teachers is that they
attend the yearly institutes, and are
zealous in improving themselves in
this line. It might be said however
that while the teachers are zealous
and generally efficient and the pupils
crowd the school houses, the system
is very weak financially. Indeed this
is true of the whole system in the
state, and we trust that our solons
will soon remedy this defect, for if
they do not, good teachers will seek
other fields.

THE EAST ROME SCHOOL AT
WYATT’S CHAPEL.
Miss Lula K. Warner established the
East Rome school at Wyatt’s Chapel
and under her efficient management it
has grown rapidly in patronage and
beneficient influence. It is located in
the beautiful and quiet resident por
tion of East Rome and considering the
rapid progress of that section of the
city recently, it promises to become a
still larger and better school.
The trustees are Messrs B. M. Park,
J. B. Patton, B I. Hughes, G. W.
Crumley, Win. Archer and Geo. C.
W yatt.
The enrollment for the past school
year has been forty-seven. The
school has eight grades.
Miss Warner determined in early
childhood to become a teacher and
having that one aim in view it is no
wonder that she has succeeded so
admirably in her chosen work. She is
a Virginian by birth and has the cul
ture and refinement for which Virgin
ians are noted. In every respect she
is a womanly woman and one has to
know her well to appreciate fully her
genuine worth. Her education is thor
ough for she is a graduate of Shorter
College and holds a state license. She
is a great advocate of physical culture
and rightly says that a bright mind
goes along with good circulation and
strong muscles and does not believe in
corporal punishment. The advocates
of corporal punishment would agree
that the law of love is sufficient with
| a teacher so lovely in person, mind
and heart.
JAMES D. GWALTNEY.
James Davidson Gwaltney, school
commissioner of Floyd county, was
born in North Carolina in 1858. His
father is the distinguished Baptist
minister and educator, Dr. L. R
Gwaltney, known all over the south
as one of the leading men of that de
nomination. In 1868 Dr. Gwaltney
moved to Rome. James, after attend
ing school at Stevens & Graves’, Proc
tor’s and other institutions, went to
Mercer University in 1875. In 1876 the
family moved to Alabama, and in 1878

JAMES D. GWALTNEY.
he was graduated at Howard college.
Part of this year he taught school in
Talladega county. After graduation,
he went to Shelby county, Alabama,
and spent five years there teaching.
He began with an ordinary small pub
lic school, and built it up until it was
one of the first academies in that sec
tion. He here showed that ability to
manage and to teach which few men
possess together, and the school which
he established yet stands as evidence
of his enthusiastic efforts.
“Being a country school teacher is
no sinecure,” says Mr Gwaltney. “I
was one a long time, and can tell you
they have great difficulties to over
come.”
He left Shelby county on account of
the illness of his father here. This
was in 1884, and from then until 1891
lie taught at Shorter college Here
he again demonstrated his ability, and
the rapid yet substantial rise of his
pupils was a high compliment to him
and his teaching. All familiar with
his work there know of its splendid
character. In 1883 he organized a
boy’s high school, and did well with
it In February of this year he was
chosen county school commissioner.
He is singularly well fitted for this
work, and will make a success that
can not fail to be of great benefit to
the schools of the county. The years
he spent as a country school teacher ]
taught him the hardships and trials
of that class, and a bond of sympathy
exists from the beginning of his term
between him and the teachers. He
has begun his work with energy and
conscientious care, and has made a
splendid impression on the teachers
and all others with whom he has
come in contact as an official. As a
man, he is a broad-minded gentleman I
whose friends are many and strong.
In his work, Mr. Gwaltney intends, '
with the assistance of the teachers,
to labor always for the improvement,
and advancement of the schools and
the system. That he will succeed no
one who knows him can doubt. No
county in the state can b >ast a more
able, more highly educated, more en- I
ergetic and intelligent commissioner
than Floyd. And with it all he pos
sesses the art of organizing and man
aging, and his wide and growing pop
ularity will greatly assist him in giv
ing to the county a system of common
schools upon which all citizens can
look with pride

ally and Suffering. The Great Vic
tory Won by Science Over a
Stubborn Diaeaw.
(JVom the Atlanta, Ga.,
Foremost among the best known lawyert
find farmers of North Carolina stands Col.
Isaac A. Sugg, of Greenville. Mr. Sugg has
resided in Greenville 22 years. While
nearly everyone in Pitt Co. knows Mr. S’e
history, perhaps all do not know of his re
turn to business again after an illness of 16
years. No man has gone through more than
he, and lived. It was a case of the entire
breaking down of the nervous system, at
tended by excruciating, agonizing, unendur
able pain. Opiates and stimulants only
quieted temporarily, and all treatments
failed‘him. Only his love of family and
friends prevented suicide. He told a ra
pe r ter the following interesting story:
“I kept at my work as long as I could
but nature gave way at last and 1 succumbed
to the inevitable. My entire nervous sys
tem had been shattered by the stimulants
and opiates I had taken, my blood had actu
ally turned to water, my weight had drop
ped from 173 pounds to 123, and it seemed to
everybody that the end was in sight. Why
i could not bear the gentle hand of my wife
to bathe my limbs with tepid water. I was
simply living from hour to hour. I had
made my will, settled ray business and
waited for the last strand of life to snap.
It was at this time that a somewhat simi
lar case as my own was brought to my
notice. This man had suffered very much
as I had, his life had been despaired of as
mine had and yet he had been cured.
Think what that little word meant to nie—
CURED. The report stated that the work
had been accomplished by a medicine
known as Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale
People. I investigated the leport thorough
ly and found that it was true in detail. Then
I procured some of Dr. Williams’ Pink
Pills and began taking them and began
to get better. I began to sleep like a health
ful child, sound, calm and peaceful. My
appetite came back and, my nerves were
soothed and restored to their normal condi
tion and I felt like a new man. But the
greatest blessing was the mental improve
ment. I began to read and digest, to formu
late new plans, to take interest in my law
practice, which began to come back to ms
as soon as my clients realized that I was
again myself. After a lapse of 10 yea's I
rile horse back every day without fatiene.
“ That Dr. Williams’ Pink Pillssaved my
life is beyond doubt, and I am spreading
their praise far and wide.”
