progression has j
and well marked |
the organization of tho
school system: but the proficiency
evinced for advancement in these
grades was more pronounced this
I year than heretofore, and necessi
tated a readjustment of some of
the courses to accommodate ithis
increased capacity of the pupils.
A “side feature” so to speak
—of the work this year meriting
speoial mention, was tho course in
manual training -raffia—conduct- j
ed by Miss Tharin. The course ;
was entirely optional and open to j
pupils of the four higher grades. |
The work was done after regular j
school hours. In addition to the ;
advantages accruing lrom its dis- j
tinct educative feature and the in- ;
terest it stimulated in the general j
works of the pupils who took the j
course, the practical value of the :
work in tho cultivation of a!
“home-interest’’ and the arts of j
home embellishment was distinct- !
ly manifest.
It is my opinion that the con
tinued efficiency of the school sys- j
tern demands the retention of tho j
present number of teachers. To i
( render clear my reasons for this |
| recommendation, I have placed j
1 near the beginning of this report— ;
j under the caption “Statistical Ab- |
i street”—the enrollment and at- i
tendance by department for the j
year just closed. A glance at |

although the number of pupils en
rolled this year was 195 against
248 for the preceding year—a fall
ing off of of. 48—, the average at
tendance for tins year was 126
against 152 for last year—a falling
off of but 26. Furthermore, the
percentage of tho total enrollment
in daily attendance throughout
the present year was 64:6 per cent,
against 62.5 per centage for
last year—an increase of 2.5 per
centage. This shows that
the attendance of chose enrolled
this year was more regular than
for any preceding year. It will be
observed that the average number
of pupils to the teacher for the
year just closed was 81 (126-1),

The J. P. Morgan Electric Car
system is all the talk in North
East Georgia now. Morgan, fnr
seeing as he is, has conceived tlve
idea that some day all cars and
machinery will he propelled by
electricity. lie therefore is se
curing rights of way for his car
system as rapidly as possible.
His agents sav Morgan knows
where the money is in the future.
They have already surveyed one
line from Athens to Carneaville.
Rights of way from Gainesville to
Gillosville, Homer and Carnes-
j ville, were secured sometime ago
I in the guise of a telephone line
which will connect Gainesville
I and Athens. From Gainesville
j the line is to extend to Dahlonega
j and into Tennessee and from
I Carnesville into South Carolina
i and the Atlantic coast. Tho line
I will also be extended from Carnos-
ville to Toccoa.
Homer will at last have the
latest mode of transportation to
the Coast and the grain states.
!t, is his purpose to have a com
peting line over the entire South.
He sees the rapid development <>f
the South and the certainty of the
Nicaragua canal, and the final sur-
premacy of cotton factories, coal
I fields, and iron industries in the

Whatever o'.' friction may have
arisen between patrons and teach
ers has, without doubt, been the
result of misconception regarding
the conditions pertaining to the
particular cases of school govern
ment concerned.
I have no hesitancy in com
mending the work of the teachers,
who have ' a-actuated not. only
j by true professional spirit, but by
i a distinct human interest as well,
} and by personal zeal for the in-
i tellcctuai and nUra' advancement
; of their pupils individually and
collectively.
The beneficial effects off the
four years of graded instruction
have been especially observable in
the three higher grades, in tho fact

Brooklyn used to tell 1 lie story of
