AFTERNOON 8E8SION.
The President culled the Association
to order and introduced Dr G. J. Orr.
who said that the duty of the State to
| educate real d oh one principle, i. e.,
the State ou.'ht to protect itself. Puh-
lic education is much cheaper than pri
vate The public, school system rested
for its authority on the new Constitu
tion. Public echo ds do no injure pri
vate schools. The great, State of Geor
gia appropriates only 69 cents per head
to educate the children of the StatP.
Grorgia has done more wi*h this small
sum than any other State with the same
turn; hut our State cannot establish a
thorough system tf echools with thie
meager sum. T^e new Constitution
gives auth rity to tax property, whisky
and dugs to raise a school fund. Dr.
Grr had beon before twenty oue grand
juries of the State, advocuti g a law
taxing whisky und dogs to suppnri
schools. He had obtained eighteen prt-
•'atinents 'n favor of those laws, and
ad failed in only three instances.
Dr. Orr then gave an interesting ac
count of the Moffit bell-punch liquor
■aw in the State of V’trgiuia; and stated
iisn l ^ e ^ tat0 en J°7 ud nn income of
■GOO from this law. Said lew doeB
” ot ' iminish the amount of drinkit g.
eorgia would derive an equal income
torn such a law. Dr. Orr refuted the

run our schools from four to nin>
months, while now they are run only
from one and a half to three months.
At the close of the address, R-v. G
A Nunnally, of Shorter College, ofFm-rf
the following resolution and sustained
it with an able speech:
Resolved, That a committee of five
ladies be appointed to memoralize the
Legislature at its next session in July
to ho amend the present school luw, as
to ratRb a revenue for educational pur
poses hy the use of the Moffit bell
punch and by a tax on doge; further,
that the luw be so amended as to re
quire that the school shall be kept up
by the pat'ons for three months pre
ceding the opening of public schools,
and that thosj children only be eligible
to the benefits of the public school free
during the last three months who at
tended during the first three monthp,
except it be in cases where parents are
too poor to pay tuition during the first
three months.
On motion of Prof. S. C. Caldwell
the resolution was referred to a com
mittee consisting of Profs G. J. Orr, B.
Million, — Baker. W. H Fleming, A
Means, D D , t > report as Boon as pos
sible to-morrow morning.
The secretary then read his report,
which, on motion of Prof. S. C. Cald
well, was received, and action of Sec
retary endorsed.
Prof. Baker stated that he had never
seeu the need of an nfficiul organ, and
bjected to requiring members to hand
their papers to the aecretery.
The secretary said that his object was
to put these papers in the hands of the
people, and thus extend the influence
of our convention.
Prof. Baker replied that printing
these papers in an educational journal
was a very poor way to put them in the
hands of the people.
Convention adjourned.

Committee on Resolutions reported
as follows:
It is the unanimous sentiment of tins
Association that our visit to R -me and
the exercises of this body have been
rendered doubly pleasant by the many
courtesies we have received at the
nands of the citizens of this beautiful
city. As a sense of our appreciation of
this cordial welcome and kind recep
tion:
Rt-snlved, That the thanks of this
Association are hereby tendered to the
citizens of R ime lor the kind and gen-
rous hospitality extended to us during
our visit. In this connection we feel
inclined to make espeoial mention of
President and Prof. Caldwell, of Rome
Female College, and President Mallary,
of Shorter Female College, for their con
stant and kind attentions to the man-
tiers of our Association.
Resolved, That we return our thanks
to the piess of this city for the interest
they have manifested in our delibera
tions and for the polite notices they
have made of our exercises.
Resolved, That we appreoiatejihe fa
vors received from the several railroads
over which we have passed in granting
ug return tickets or reduced rates ol
fare, and return our thanks for said
favors. Respectfully,
8. G. Hillyer,

Committee.
On motion of Prof. W. H. Baker, the
resolutions were unanimously adopted
No other committee being ready to
report, the President introduced MBs
Fannie Schwatz. of Atlanta, who read
an interesting paper on geography. The
writer set forth at length the recent
great discoveries in this science. Geog
raghy ranks as the first in our ourricu
lum of studies. In all teaching, th-
nhief aim should be to awaken ideas,
Hence the teacher should be careful
that the pupil understand what he
learns. The teacher must love hlB work
a'«d feel a lively inti-rest in the pupils.
Topical method the best in teaching
Geography. Answers to questions
should be promptly and energetically
given, but boldness should be dis
countenanced.
energy. Maps should be taught by
drawing.
Prof. S. C. Caldwell moved to limit
discussions to five minutes. Carried.
W. H Baker highly commended the
essay. Thought that munh time was
wasted in the study of geography, and
that th*- essayist bad suggested a time-
saving plan. Unnecessary to learn the
details. Pupils should pay special at
tention to the mathema'ical part.
Prof. 8. C. Caldwell related an in
stance where advanced pupils were so
ignorant in regard to some important
facts in geography that they could not
take up physical geography. Caused
by too much attention being paid to
details Geography should be taught
with history.
Mr. Noyes spoke highly of learning
the positions of places by parallels of
latitude.
Mr. King stated his method with
primary classes, first teach them to
locate places in their vicinity with
which they are familiar. Thought that
six mouths, or one year at farthest, long
uough time to devote to the study.
Dr. S G. Hillyer was next introduced,
who read a paper on the Best Method
of Teaching English Literature. In its
widest sense, English literature includes
every puhlisbed work in the language.
But the writer did not propose to dis
cuss it in this broad sense, but would
confine himself to history, pro.-e works
of fiction, poetry, books of travel and
•ome others. Manuals of English lit
erature are good as works of reference,
bat worse than useless as text books in
the school room. English literature iB
the most important branch of secular
learning. Dr. Hillyer brought up
many arguments to show the import
ance ol the study, and then set forth at
length his excellent method of teaching
Dr. Hillyer showed that the pupils
themselves were interested in this study
from the fact that they f equmtly seek
advice from the faculty as to what
hooks they should read.
Prof. W. B; Bonnell moved to pro
ceed to election of officers. Carried.
Capt. R. E. Park uomiuated the fol
lowing officers:
President—A. G H.iygood, D D.
Vice-Presidents—C. E. Lambdtn, R.
D. Mullary, A. L. Hamilton, J. H.

Treasurer—J. M. Proctor.
The officers were unanimously elec
ted.
Resolution by R. E. Park to return
thanks to retiring President and Secre
tary :
Resolved, That the sincere thanks of
this Association be tendered to the able
and courteous retiring President, 8. P.
Sanford, and very efficient and accom
plished Secretary, Wm. B. Bonnell, for
the very satisfactory manner in which
they have discharged the duties of their
respective offices.
Carried.
R-i-olution by Prof. W. H. Woodall:
Resolved, That the heartfeluhanks of
this Association be tendered to Maj.
Robert Bingham, of North Carolina, for
his co-'cise, comprehensive, well delivered
aud exceedingly interesting address to
our Association on the evening of the
30th uit.
Committee reported on Mr. Nunnally’s
resolution as follows:
Resolved, by the Georgia Teachers’ As
sociation :
1. That, as the public school system
is now a part of the fundamental law of
Georgia, it is the imperative duty of the
State to make that system as efficient as
tossible.
2. That ia the opinion of this Associa
te i the passage of a law imposing a tax
on liquors as contemplated iu general by
the Moffett Bell Punch, and also a law
iinposiog a tax on dogs—the funds from
b ith sources to be used for educational
nurposes—would be of great assistance
in mtkiug the public school system more
efficient. *
3. That a committee of seven to me
morialize the Legislature upon this sub
ject be appointed hy President Sanford at
bis leisure, and of which committee be
shall be chairman.

Proctor reported following
to the cause of education in his munifi
cent gift of 8hurter College and its
splendid equipment, and we hereby re
turn to that gentleman our grateful ac
knowledgments.
Resolved, That the Secretary of lh<s
Association be instructed to send Col.
Shorter a copy of these resolutions.
Carried.
Mr. Baker moved that next meeting
be at Macon, time left to the executive
committee. Carried.
Prof. Lynes being invited to deliver a
lecture on the natural method of teach
ing languages made some interesting re
marks on this subject. He teaches lan
guage by conversations. Only his senior
class study grammar. On the request of
Prof. Baker, speaker cooseuted to he«.r a
class before the next convention.
Prof. B. Mallon requested Dr. Sanford
to address the convention before adjourn
ment. Dr. Sanford considered the teach
ers profession as second to none save that
of the ministers of the gospels. Ho made
some pleasant remarks on our kiDd treat
ment by the citizens of Rome, and ex
pressed sorrow at leaving.
