To the Grand Jury, Montgomery
County, Georgia, May Term,
Gentlemen:
At thin term of the Superior
Court it become# my duty to
report to your honorable body
the condition and management
ot the Public School# of Montgom
ery county for the year BIOS.
During tint year the schools of
the county were operated a term
of seven months.
During the yeur there were 45
white schools taught employing
til teachers and twenty colored
school# employing 20 teachers.
During the vojir we enrolled
ySW! white pupils and and 1012
colored pupils noticing a total en
rollment of 8925 pupils. This
shows an increase over the roll
of 1007 of 111 white pupil# and
it] colored pupils making a total
increase of 585 pupils over the
year before
During the year there enrolled
in the Ist., 2nd.,and !ird., (trades
17*1 white pupils; 805 in the Ith
and sth (trade# 102 in the oth
nnd 7tli (trade# and To in the High
School (Iriides.
There were 857 colored pupils
enrolled in the first, three grades.
ISO in flic till and sth Grades, 7
in the Otlt and 7th Grade# Imt
none in the High School Grades.
Os the 01 white teachers em
ployed during tin* year more than
Ho'/i held first grade licenses and
the ot her 15'/ were most ly second
grade teachers. We are making
every effort that cun reasonably
he made to raise tlie standard id
tile teneliers employed in the
schools of the county. We give
no encouragement to any but
what we believe to he the best
teachers available.
Last fall just before tlm open
ing of the schools of the county
we employed I’rof.M. 1,. Brittain,!
Supt. of the schools of Pulton |
county to conduct a teachers' In
stitute five days and required all
the teachers employed to teach
in tins comity to attend said in
wt it nt •*. Ity tioing this the touchers
employed were taught how to
touch and went direct from thr
1 nst it ute to i he school room where
they could put into practice the
methods, theories etc. taught
them during these five days.
In order to operate the schools
of the county seven months the
Hoard of Education found it
necessary to levy a tax of $2.75
on each SI(KH> worth of property
returned for taxati m in the coun
ty.
