The Northwestern Mutual Lite Insurance Co.
Our Georgia business for 1910 was quite interesting. We paid Georgia Policy-Holders in 1910 very
snug sums, as follows: : : : :
We paid LIVING Policy-Holders for Matured Endowments $
and Surrenders........................................................................................... 128,000.00
We paid LIVING Policy-Holders for Dividends.............................. $ 167,000.00
We paid Death Losses............................................................................................. $ 183,000.00
Total Payments to Policy-Holders...................................... | 478,000.00
We Loaned in Georgia.......................................................................................... $ 587,000.00
$ 1,065,000.00
This is considerably more than $400,000.00 in excess of all premiums collected last year in Georgia.
We have been quietly doing this for many years, until we have between $7,000,000 and $8,000,000 in mortgages and other
good Georgia securities. This is a sum much larger than the value of all its Georgia policies.
There has not been, we believe, a year in many years when sur investments in Georgia, and payments to Georgia policy¬
holders have not far exceeded the premiums collected from our Georgia policy-holders.
The Northwestern is not only the great policy-holders’ compsny, but is as well a great Georgia policy-holders' company.
The Assets January 1,1911..................... $ 275.813,036
Insurance in force January 1, 1011 $1080.139.798
Insurance in Georgia................................... $ 20.925,464

Educationin Georgia
BY PROF. M.L. BRITTAN.
STATE SCHOOL COMMISSIONER
Ten years ago Georgia appropri¬
ated $1,410,642 to the support of
her Common Schools. In 1910 the
appropriation had reached the sum
of $2,250,000.
Ten years ago four counties only
and ten or twelve Georgia cities
had a local tax regulation for
school purposes. In 1910. twenty-
one (bounties, about two hundred
systems and four hundred and
twenty-two districts supplemented
the State school funds by local
taxation to the amount of $1,478,
245.
Ten years ago the total available
money for Georgia’s common
schools amounted to but $1,478 245
In 1910, the aggregate amount
available totaled the magnificent
sum of $4,229,254.78.
Ten years ago the total value of
school property in the State was
but $3,155,433 In 1910 it had in¬
creased to $8,603,853.
Ten years ago there were only
one hundred and seven high schools
in Georgia. In 1910, the number
had reached eight hundred and
forty nine.
Ton years ago the average sal¬
ary of the teachers in Georgia
school system was $26.00 per capita
per month. In 1910, the average
per capita was $36. 58 in the rural
and $52. 30 in the city schools.
Federated with the State Univer¬
sity in the sphere of higher ed¬
ucation. there is a State College
of Agriculture, with a full four
years course for those who desire
full, scientific knowledge of the
subject; cultural the North Georgia Agri¬
College, the Georgia School
of Technology, one of the finest
institutions of its kind in America;
the Georgia Medical College, the
State Normal School, and the Girl’s
normal and Industrial College.
Georgia is essentially an agri¬
cultural State and her last import¬
ant educational step has been the
establishment in each Congressional
District, eleven in all, of Agricul¬
tural High Schools. These schools
are modeled largely after the
agricultural schools of Denmark,
where this system of education
has been most highly successful.
The insignificant sum often dollars
per month will pay the board and
tuition of a pupil and every
youngster is given opportunity to
earn money in the field, which
further reduces cost.
