We beg to submit the report of
the County School commissioner
■and refer to report of Mr. Batts as
to the general condition of this of
fice.
To the Honorable Grand Jury of
the spring term of the Superior
Court of Pulaski County, 1911:
Gentlemen: Conforming to the
law, I beg leave to submit an an
nual report upon the schools of tlie
the county for the year 1910.
There is no more complex busi
ness than that of managing and su
pervising a number of schools, and
in doing this work there is neces
sarily some friction, but on the
whole, there has been less during
the past year than usual.
The customary troubles of school
life on the part of both teachers and
patrons have been comparatively
few. Our teachers as a body, have
been consciencious workers. Many
of them trealize the necessity of
continuing their studies from year
to year after they have become tea
chers and this is a good symptom.
The discipline in some of the
schools is far from perfect, but
there is noticeable improvement.
I nearly all communities there are
boys and occasionally girls whoclash
with authority, but the number is
very small in comparison with the
enrollment.
These clashes are brought about, in
main, by lack of co-operation be-

tween tlie parent and teacher.
The schools are becoming more
efficient year by year. The teach
ing is better, with a few exceptions,
and the children arc becoming more
and more interested in their work.
The Boys’ School Dorn Clubs and
Girls’ Home Life (Tubs will arouse
still greater interest and more en
thusiasm not only in the study of
agriculture, but also along all lines
of school work.
The buildings for the schools are
being gradually improved and
where needed the best, grade of
school furniture is supplied.
The Board [of Education, as a
body has been ..prompt 'in attend
ance on all meetings, and the in
terest of the schools will not suffer
for lack of attention.
In conclusion, i wish to assure
you honorable body Hint the Com
missioner and Board of Education
will not he lulled into a state of
satisfaction by what has been ac
complished. On the contrary,
they fully realize that there is al
ways room for improvment, and
what has [already been done will
lead them to strive harder for bet
ter results and higher achievement.
Financial statement:

sheriff’s office
We find all entries in this office
neatly and correctly entered. The
general condition of the jail is good
and prisoners seem to he well prov
ided for.
JUSTICE OF THE PEACE
The hooks of the various justices
of the Peace have been carefully ex
amined and so far as we are able to
find everything is in order.
ROADS AND BRIDLES
The condition of all roads, where
they have been worked within a
reasonable period of time, are well
made and in good condition. They
indicate that tlie Superintendent
has given our county his best ser
vices. The bridges, so far as we
know, are in good condition.
There has come before your Grand
Jury numerous complaints from va
rious portions of the county to tlie
effect that roads in some communi
ties have received no work in what
appears to the residents of those [sec
tions a n unreasonable length of
time. However, we realize that
with tiie present, small chain gang
force it is impossible t o cover all
the county in less than aproximate
ly two years. We also suggest to
our County Commissioners that
they give particular attention to the
distribution of their chaing gang
work in order that each communi
ty may receive its pro rata share of
the convict labor.
Tlie general condition of the
county’s property as handled by the
chain gang force is good. The
mules are in excellent condition.

4\ e think it advisable, however,
to call attention to the fact that ex
pense in the camp appears rather
excessive. From tlie best informa
tion in hand we find that it lias
cost Pulaski county for the past
eight months an average of $19.94
per head for mule feed.
We also find that the average
cost of feeding prisoners for the
past eight months has been $5.81
per month.
The Treasurer’s final report indi
cates an insufficient fund on hand
at this time for road work and we
recommend that tlie County Com
missioners make such financial ar
rangements as they deem proper at
a rate of not exceeding 8 per cent,
in order to obtain sufficient funds
for operating until the Fall taxes

We recommend that as soon as
possible the County Commissioners
bridge what is known as Town
creek at Hawkinsville, leading out
I from Progress avenue, and to pro
vide a railing along the big /flitch
just heyoml Town creek for public
safety. It is also suggested that the
large partition in the river bridge
be removed and that a smaller tim

will allow vehicles to go from one
side tu the other in ease of emer
gency. We also recommend that
the high embankment at Double

that grass be planted on this em
bankment to prevent washing.
