The premiums have been ordered from the best manufacturing establishments, and will, in every ln- ttancr, come fully up to their published value.

T. FORSYTII COUNTY. Ezzard’s School—Interesting; Exer cises. Editors Constitution: It was my good fortune to attend thecloslog exercises of Captain G. W. Hazard’s school on the night of the 3d Instant. Tha school was taught at Midway Church, in ths southwest corner of Forsyth county. I failed to go to the examination, but was informed that it was satisfactory. After the examination was over, our school commissioner. Judge Clement, addressed the school very forcibly on the advantage of education and did not fail to gain the confidence and affection of the scholars and commu nity. The scholars, about fortv In number, acquitted themselves creditably, convincing all. parents and friends, that their teacher understood his busiress, that his administrative ability could not be excelled—his scholars all love and yet fear him. The exhibltio < excel'ed anything I Lave wit. neestd for years, espe tally in this section ol the country, constiering ths number of scholars and their advancement in knowledge, it was not only amusing but gratifying, to see fiose little boys and girls, the youngest only four years old, standing erect upon the stage, renting their pieces; their demeanor would have done credit to older heads. The ept eches and dialogues were systematically arranged and varied from the aablimeaod pathetic to the most comic, in* terspersed with music from two violins, witch also performed their pnits to t v e edification of the school and audience. The stage was isstefnlly decorated with evergreens and flowers, by ths ladles of the community. The gills were all uniformed. Tbe scholars foimed a procession, beaded with music, marched some dis tance and then in tbe house. The procession was greatly admired by the spectators The introductory remarks were made by Mr. James Spence, which were very appropriate. The exhibition was opened about seven o'clock by Miss Mattie Orr. There wore stout thirty-five per formances on the stage. There were present e great many spectators. Everybody seemed to enjoy them, solve*, and 1 have no donbt hut that each parent resolved that in the fntnre th*y would be more prot In sending tbeir children to school. This examina tion and exhibition wll! do good In this section. It will increase the ocsire for iduc&tion&l improvements. After the exercises were over, there eras an invitation given to anybody that wished to address tbe people, which was re sponded to by Judge Ezzard, and Dr. Allen, who did honor to themselves and their country. After Which, our teacher imade a few remarks, thanking bis schol ars and patrons for their kindness, tried to Impress npon their minds, the advantages In education. I am glad to lerrn that it is being impressed npon the minds of the up country people, that on educational knowledge will increase the morals of the rising gene ration. | which would prove a blessing to our country, j P. A Call for the Scliool Fund. Tbe Second Annual Report of tbe Superintendent* Mr. B. Ration. Tbe Scbcole In Satisfactory Condi tion* Doing Good Work and Constantly Improving. ATLANTA’S GLORY. EE POET or THS SUPERINTENDENT. To the Hoard of Education of the City cf Atlanta: Gentle men—I have the honor to submit the second arnutl report of the condition of the schools nnder your charge. The schools were opened ic September last, (1872,) after a vacation of two months, with full numbers, and a complete organ:'zation. The enthusiasm cf both scholars and teachers, which was so noticeable in all the schools during the first five months of their ex- lstcnce. seemed not in the least to have abated. Oaring the year, however, the novelty having some what passed sway, very naturally certain defects in the details of instruction and management have ap peared. There defects are cot serious; they will be remedied by time and the increasing power and skill of the teachers, and by tbe inherent virtue of the pub- school system itself. In the main the schools are in a satisfactory condl tion, doing good work, and constantly improving. The organization and c.aesitication are nearly perfect; the course of study is liberal end well-planned, ad mirably combining the practical, the disciplinary, and the aesthetic; and tbe teachers are rapidly improv ing both the Instruct! ,n and the discipline of their schools. I invite your attention to the following statistics of the schools for the year ending August 31,1873: ATTENDANCE.

And the question is oiten asked, why is the money not paid ? Some time since Mr. Orr gave public notice that them was a large sum of money (ninety thou sand dollars if recollection is not at fault), ready to be sent out to .the counties of the State. Weeks, yea months hsve elapsed and yet the money ia kept back. Why to it, Mr. Orr, that the money t* not paid to the teacher* as yon promised it should be? Let the people have the facts, put It is said Mr. Orr to not to blame. It Is currently “rumor ed on the streets” that the Governor has ordered the money due tha teachers to be placed in a bank, or that the Treasurer has done it on his own motion, and that tre money cannot now te had. Isthistrue? Letthe facts be known. There to one (“it is rumored.”) con nected with tbe Executive office who to ever ready to furnish statements that seem to benefit his employer in pnblle «timatlon. and it to desired he will famish tbe facts in this case. Who is to blame? Is it the fault of Mr. Orr ? Has he made an announcement to the public that it ia not true? No one believes it Has the Treasurer placed the money in a tank or banks where it cannot now be bad ? If so, by wbst a ithcrity did be take the State's money ont of the Tn saury of the Store without a warrant drawn by the Executive? Has the Governor ordered the money of the State placed in any other cu c - tody than the Treasurer, in. whose hinds the law places It. If so, by what authority did he doit? Who has made money - Interest—by this ? Why does the Governor refute to draw his warrant on the Treasurer for tbe money due each county ? We want the facta. Lst Mr. Sniffle famish them tf be can, and that without coloring. The offer to give orders on the Tax Collectors to not sufficient. The question is, where to the money which ought to bs now in the Treasury oi the State? Why is it not paid out to the teachers to whom it is due” Has the State suspended* Let ua have tome of the “omnipotence of truth.’’ The scarcity of money is no answer Why is it scarce in the Treasury of the S ate? What has become of it? Again we ask for the facta—the whole truth—and let the responsi bility rest on the proper person. It no one la at fault justice to faithful officers requires that the truth be knownandthey relieved from censure If any officer of theState.no matter how high in position hs may be,has been osier the people's money to aid a friend or ben efit himself, let the fact be known. The teachers are generally poor and needy, and they ought to be paid what is jjistly doe them. They were not expected to bs paitj out of the taxes yet to be collected. Let theTreMU-erteU the people through the newspapers where the money is. An early and explicit state ment is expected. Inquirer.

We fear no competition, and are willing to compare prices and work with any similar establishment in this State, or out of it. Total $49,956 04 Balance, applied to reduction* f indebtedness of ths Board. $7,250 44 The inoebtedness cf the Board at the beginning of the school year, Sep tenner 1,1872, was $15,253 This amount has been reduce! to $8,002 56, and, with strict econrmy in tbe management of the schools, we may hope to free onraelves form: all indebtedness by the close of another year. The number of scholars enrolled daring the year has been 3.694, against 3,842 the fiist year of the schools. The cost per scholar, per annum, has been $18 29 against $18 32 last year. With the extension ef the schools from year to year, the average cost per schol ar, will continue to diminish, since the enlargement will be chiefly cf schools of lower grade. It will, however, prove a false economy to endeavor to hold this cost much less than $20 per annum. It cannot be done except at the sacrifice of the interests of the schools. Either the salaries of teachers must bs made so low that teachers of proper qualifications cannot be retained, or the number of scholars to the teacher must he made so great as to forbid effective teaching; or still lurther, suitable apparatus and other faculties for instruction, most be denied to the schorls. SCHOOL HOUSES. The school accommodations have been considerably extended and improved during the year. In March, the building corner of Washington and Mitchell streets, formerly occupied by Oglethorpe College, was leased from the trustees of that coUege lor three years, for the use of the Girls* High School. The house was thoroughly repaired, and on tbe first of April, the Girls’ High School was removed to that buUdlog. Oa the first of May the Haynes street senool was opened for colored children This school accommo dates abont 250 scholars, with four teachers. By the lioerality of the City Council, a new school building has been erected on Marietta street, to take the place of the old Lnckie street house, which was unfit for school purposes. The Marietta school building, like the other school houses built by the city, is a two-a-ory wooden building with eight rooms. I; has several improvements on the houses previous’y built. The school rooms are larger, the hall 1^ wider and unobstructed, there is a cloak and hat room attached to each school room, and an extra room for libra-y. with shelves tor books and apparatus. Tbe house ia weU built, complete and admirable in all its details and appointments, elegant in its general appearance, and is altogether an ornament to the city. For this valuable addition to our school accommoda tions, the Board of Education and the community generally are under obligations to the City Council, and especially to the efficient chairman of tbe Com mittee on Public Buildings, Hon. D. A. McDuffie, for his zeal and faithfulness in supervising the work from its inception to its completion. The architect was Mr. Calvin Fay, to whom is doe the beauty of the de sign, and most of the improvements in the plan and details of the house. COURSE or STUDY • The course of study remains the same as last year, and seems to require no change at present. It will be found in tho appendix to this .report. The following changes of text books have been m«da by the Board. Sinfocd’s Common School Arithmetic is used in the first, second and third grades if the Grammar Schools, instead of the Analytical Arithmetic by the same au thor; Stephens’ History or the United States to in the third grade instead of Holmes’United States; and 8 win ton’s Word Primer is used in the sixth and seventh grades. Holmes'Sixth Header is used in the High Schools. These changes of text books have in no way al tered the con-se or study. LANQCAOB. The course in this department to full, and of the most practical kind. Facility in the right use of lan guage to aeqnlnd not so much by the study of the fo.-mal rules of granm rand rhetoric, as by the cot- stout practice of speak in/ aid writing coder wise guidance and judicious criticism. Tbe following cjnrse is chiefly relied on to give.power and skill in thensnof our own language: Spelling, both oral and written; reading, with a thorough study of the fkords, sentences, and the thoughts expressed; daily exercises in copying, dic tation, writing or reciting the snbslance of reading lessons, oral and written descriptions of pictures, re- p odnetion of incidents and stories read or related by the teachers, writing letters, written recitations and examinations in the various studies, translations in French and Latin, both oral and written; weekly composition begun in the fourth grade of the Gram mar School, and continued throughout the entire course; English Grammer s’udied thoroughly in the Grammar Schools, and reviewed in the High Schools; rhetoric, and an extended course in English literature with a careful readirg of the principal English clas sics ; Latin, French. This is the regular course which all are required to take. Boys who are pre paring to enter coUege take Greek, and omit French. MATHEMATICS. Arithmetic is completed in the Grammar Schools and reviewed in the High Schools; where Algebra, Geometry, and Trigonometry are taken np in suc cession. SCIENCS. In the Grammar Schools, Geography, the simplest and most lmpoitant oi the practical sciences, is taught in the fifth, fourth, and second grades, and continued as Physical Geography In the first year of the High Schools. Natural Philosophy, Chemistry, Physiology, and Astronomy complete the course in the High Schools. History of the United States and England occupies two years in the Grammar Schools, in tbe third and first grades. General History, ancient and modern. Is read in the High Schools. MUSIC. Instrumental music cannot, for obvious reasons, be conveniently taught in the public schools. It is, thereiore, properly left to private instruction, and is attended to in time outside of the regular school hours. Vocal music occupies*a place in the regular course of study and is taught in nearly all the schools. The instruction is given by the regular teachers, hut, since few of them are speoially qualified to give instruction in this branch, the results are not so satisfactory in all the schools as could be desired. Still, they, by exchanging with one another or by combln-ng two or more classes, are enabled to accomplish very credit able reenlts. The children ore taught to read aimple music, to sing in correct time, and some attention is given to musical taste and expression. A special teicher in this department is greatly needed to ic struct the regular teachers, and to supervise the work in the schools. The propriety of introduc ing vocal mu-lc into the schools is generally admit ted; bul it is by many considered only a recreation— an amusement. Ids more than this—it is a refining influence in the school. It is an excellent physical exercise, and often safely carries off the restless ener gies of the children, which would otherwise find vent in troublesome disorder. The general cuhivitiohof music in our schools will not ouiy render school life more pleasant and attract ive to oor cuildren, but by means of it their moral nature may lie peweifully and favorably affected. HIGH SCHOOLS.’. The High Schools nave been well sustained through out the year. The number enrolled in the Boys' High i-chool has be-n 131; in the Girls’ High School 170. At the close of the schools in June aclass tvssgrad uated from each of these schools, consisting of eleven lrom the Girls’ School and five from ihe Boys’. This was the first graduating c’ass of the Public Schools. Their graduating exercises, which were held at the Representatives Hall, in tbe Capitol building, on the evening of the first of July, were of an interesting character, and were largely attended by the citizens of Atlanta. The Girls' High School has a course of study for four years, and at present consists of four classes with four teachers. The Boys’ High School has a three years’ course of study, with three classes and three teachers. The course in the Boys* hchool is too limited; it should occupy four years. It can be so extended as soon as the nnmber of pupils will justify tbe formation of four classes. The two daises in the High Schools, consisting of fifty girls and forty-five boys, who were received at the beginning of the school year, have been very suc cessful in their work, and ail cf them who have been in attendance tnroughont the year have been advanced to the next grade. ' They were promoted from the Grammar Schools list year on examination, and were consequently better prepared for High School work than were the classes preceding them. GRAMMAR SCHOOLS. The nnmber of these schools Is eight, -five for whito children, and three for colored. With tbe ex ception of two or the colored schools, they are all named after the streets upon which they are located. They are here named in the order of their organiza tion, as follows: Ivy Street School, Crew Street School, Walker Street School, Decatur Street School, Luckie Street School (now Marietta Street School,) Store’s School, (colored) on Houston street, Summer Hill School, (colored) on street, and Haynes Street School (colored) The Luckie Street School house was abandoned at the end of the school year In June, and during the next year the school will occupy the new Marietta Street house. The number enrolled in tbe several Grammar Schools during the year to as follows: Ivy Street School , 475 Crew Street School — 484 Walker Street School — 681 Luckie Street Schoal... Decatur Street School 245 Store’s School 442 Summer Hill School 363 Haynes Street School ,343 Tctd in Grammar Schools.......—.. 3,293 At the annual examination in June, the number of scholars promoted to the High School, was as follows: Eojs. Girls. Total. Ivy street School 16 27 Crew Street School 14 25 Wa’ker Street School....... 9 16 25 Lnckie Street School 13 22 Decatur Street school 1 3 Total 60 102 In the Summer Hill and Haynes Street Schools there were no scholars who had completed the usual Grammar School course, and therefore, no classes graduated from those schools. In the Stair's School the first class, numbering thirty-one, completed the Grammar School coarse in Jane, end left the school, no provision having been made by the Board for con tinuing their education in advanced studies. colohed schools. There are three schools for colored children under the care and supervision of the Board. Tne Siorrs School, on Houston street, was original ly established, and for several years maintained, by the American Missionary Association. Ths bnlldlng and grounds are owned by that society, but are given to the Board free of rent, the American Missionary Society nominating the teachers subject to examina tion and approval of the Board of Education. The Summer HU1 School, on - — street, was es tablished by the Freedman’s Aid Society of the Methodist Episcopal Church, and the house and grounds are now owned by that society. The house is given to the Board free of rent, the Board appoint ing teachers, and agreeing to keep the building and grounds in order. The Haynes Street Schosl occupies the building known as the old Friendship Baptist Church, (colored,; corner of Haynes and Msngham streets. The house was rented cn the 1st of January, 1873. It is divided into four rcoms and accommodates 250 scholars. These three schools have received nearly all appli- cants daring the year just closed, hut the schools were very much crowded. It will probably be neces eaiy to considerably increase the accommodations for another year. It will be better to enlarge the present schools, if practicable, than to Increase the number of schools. There has been a manifest Improvement in the character of the work done in the schools, dne chiefly to the increased Brill and success of the teachers. Near'y all the teachers hsve. in a good degree, se cured the confidence and affection of the children un der their charge, a* d have maintained go-d discipl ne without resort to violent measures. There has also been an evident improvement tn ths qnallty of the instruction given, as shown by the results cf the m >nthly, term, and annual examinations. The te cfaers. almost wt bout exception, have exhibited great zeal in their profession, availing themselves of every opportunity for instruction in normal class and- elsewhere, in oraer to belter fit themselves for their responsible duties. The teacher's duties are by no means so'simple and so light as many people suppose. To keep fiby children in order for tbe six hours of the school day, to train them in good habits, to keep them well’employid. to restrain the wayw-rd, to stimulate the Lile and slug gish. to Keep them all interested in the work of tne school, to spend an hour outside.of school in o erect ing the written exercises of the day, and another honr in preparirg for the work of the next day—wills > tax the vital energies of a faithful teacher, that there are few who can hear the nervous strain without se rious detriment to health. NON-RESIEENT PUPILS. At the regular meeting of the Board in August last the following resolution in relation to tbe admission or children whose parents are not residents of the city, isawdopted: Begj’ved, That non-resident pupils be admitted to the Pablic Schools on tbe'r paying tuition in advance each term, and provided that there is room, so that they do not prevent the admission of resident pnpiis. The rates of tution were fixed ms follows: For Grammar schools, per annum, $15,00. First term, four months $10.00 Second term, thn e months 7.R0 Third term, three months 7.53 $25,00 For High Schools, per annum, $40,00. First term, fonr month* $16 00 Second term, three months 12.00 Third term, three months 12,00 $40/0 Tbe tuition mnst be paid in advance each term to the Treasurer of the Board. DEFECTS. 'While the organization and classification of our schools, the course ot study and in general our school houses, are quite satisfactory, it must be admitted that many ot the schools have not at’aineda h'ph standard of discipline. There has been too much noise in th* movements of the scholars, too mnch (ommunication with oue another at their seats, and generall v too mnch disorder allowed. The teachers are aware of this defect, and are mak ing earnest efforts to improve the disciplins of the schools and make it what it should be. Perhaps the most valuable results of good school training are the habits or obedience, of self-control, of quiet and or derly bearing, of punctuality, of Industry, and of syst-matic attention to duty, which are sure to be attained in a well-conducted school. These haoits are of more importance in ths formation of character, and. have more to do with success in life, t.bsn the amount of knowledge acquired in the schools. I trust tbit at the end of another year I shall be able to ray that the discipline of the schools is greatly improved, and that all the teachers have learned how to control the hearts, the thoughts, and the hands of the children nnder their care. OPPOSING ELEMENTS. The general education of tbe people of a com munity and the best means of attaining such result is the most important of social problems. Yon. gen tlemen of the Board of education, have endeavored to solve this great problem for the city by the estab lishment of Public Schools. The great body of oor people werepropared for and desired their establish ment, and are row satisfied with the echoolB. It is not to he denied, however, that there are several classes of our citizens who are opposed to them, either wholly or in part, while there are other still who are not pleased with their management. It is impossible that so great a public interest, touching as thts does all the families of our commu nity, should be so managed as to give satisfaction to all. There are chronic fault finders in every commu nity, men of peculiar views, and there are those also who look with disfavor npon every project cot d - vised or directed by them-elves. Prejudice and a narrow.self-interest influence others, and lead them to oppose the schools. In ail the schools, too, there are a tew children who are not >nccess'nl, and wbn do not advance with their classes, owing often to their msntal incapacity, perhaps, bat due sometimes, no donbt, to the want of skill and tact on the part of the teachers. To the parents of snch child en the schools of course appear to be a failure. Time, and tbe successful onward march of the schools nuder your wise management, will gradually remove both prejudice snd misapprehension and rednee to a minimum the number of those who are opposed to the education of all the people by a gene ral system of pub|jc schools, free to all, rich and poor. CONCLUSION. In conclusion, I desire to retnm my th&nkB to the Board oi Education for their kind personal considera tion, and for tuelr readiness to supply everything essential to the welfare of the schools. The various committees of the Beard have had respoosible duties to pei form, exacting mnch of their time, but they have discharged them faithfully, in the Interest and for the good of the schools, without compensation other than that which comes to all who labor disinter estedly for the public good. I feel it incumbent on me to make special mention of the efficient and impartial manner in which the Committee on Teachers and Text Books have dis charged their onerous and often thankless duties. I hsve been profoundly impressed with the singleness of purpose of this committee, and of the Board gene rally, in laboring for the best interests of the Schools. Tnis would be unnecessary, and Indeed wonld be improper to mention in this connection but for the fact that some of the disappointed applicants for the position of teacher, and their indiscreet friends, are ready to prefer charges of favoritism against this committee and the Board. I wish also to express my thanks to the teachers of the schools,whq > haveslwsvs'cordially co-operated with me in all plans and methods suggested for the tin provementof tbe schools.

THAT AT THE IAM1 TIME PURGES, PURIFIES AND STRENGTH ENS THE 8YSTEM. Dr. Tutt’i Pills are composed of many in gredients. Prominent among them are SarsaparBla and Wild Cherry, so united ss to act together; Ha-- one, through its admixture with other substances^. purifying and purging; while tbe other is strength ening the ayetem. Thn* these Pills are at the tarns - time a tonic and a cathartic, a desideratum loag. sought for by medical men, bnt never before dis covered. In other words, they do the work of two medicines snd do it mnch better than any twowe- know of, for they remove nothing from the systex* hut impurities, so that while they purge they tf so strengthen and hence they cause no debility and are- followed by no reaction. Dr. Tull’s Pills have a wonderful influence- on tbe blood. They rot only purify without weak*3- ing it, bntthey remove all noxious particles from the chyle before it to converted into fluid, and thus makes impure blood an utter tinposibtllty. As there is no debilitation, so there is ho nssusea or sicknesB ah tending the operation of this most excellent medicine, which never strains or tortures the digestive organs, hut causes them to work in a perfectly natural moa ner: hence persons taking them do not become pale - and emaciated, but on the contrary, while all impuri ties «ie being removed, the combined action of the- 8srs<iparUto and Wild cherry purifies and Invigorates the body, and a robust state of health is theresnltof their united action.
