To the Grand Jury, Spring Term, 1901. GentlemenAs required by law, I submit herewith the report from.this department, together with such statements as are sug¬ gested by the present status of the schools cf the county. Teachers.—D uring the year a total of 48 teachers were employed, 28 white and 20 colored. ' Nnm her of* "normal trained teachers 4 white and 2 colored. I fuid that our normal trained teachers, as a rule, do very superior work. Attendance.—D uring the year a tota! o 1,(363 pupils wore en rolled; 889 white, 7/4 Average number of pupils in daily attendance 1,003; white 029, ored 474. Teachers’ Salaries :—Monthly salaries paid teachers : First grade wite $35; colored $30. Second grade white$30; colored $25. Third grade white $25: colored $ 20 . Above salary was based on an average attendance of 30 pupils for each month. If average ex¬ ceeded 80 pupils, said salary was not increased; but if average fell below 30 pupils, said salary was diminished in proportion thereto. Visits by Commissioner.—N um¬ ij ftr G f visits *to schools made by County School Commissioner dur¬ ing the year, 130. School Term. —Length of school term was five months. Financial Statement: Receipts for the year: Bal. on hand from 1809 $ 5.94 Amt ; Tree surer’s cbecKB 4,189.73 Total reeeipts 4,195,07 Expenditures : Salary C. S. C. 815.CO Amount paid M. B.

School Houses. In my visit:! tions of schools it has been bly impressed upon me that one of the greatest reeds of our coun¬ ty is comfortable school houses. Several of our white communities seem to manifest more concern in providing protection for then stock than 1 hey do in f uini- 1 )iug a building where their children’s minds can be expanded, ennobled for life’s duties 1 fov etermty J a nd where their bodies can be protected from T-lio inclemency of the weather, In most all of our schools I find little children compelled to sit on high seats that their feet cannot rest upon the floor, thus endangering the/r young bodies to dieeafce ;md deformity. Most all of our colored school houses I fi nd ver y -uncomfortable—the walls and floors abounding in cracks, without lofts, frequently the roofs leaky, and rough planks without backs, for seats. It would be well-nigh impossible tor the very best of teachers to do good w rk in an average colored school building of Rockdale county. Very few of our school houses ox • m \ V':L >.>r, Um .A- ^! l- ! 1 •0 ) ^ PC. l»f< ■ ^rexsaa^ both races are furnished with am pie black-board facilities Remedy. —In view fthe above facts, patent, to every rue, 1 ear - neetly ask this honorable Day to recommend that a local school tax he assessed sufficient to expend $40 on Ihu improving of every white school house in the county outside cf the city of Conyers and $20 on the improving of every colored school house in th- same territory. There is not a school building in the county where $50 could not be most prof¬ itably invested iu the way of pat¬ ent desks, paint, library etc. Present School Fund —The present school fund received by the county from the S' a tc is whole ]y inadequate to meet the demands which now are being uade upon it Many of the counties of the State pay * their white teachers better . salaries than Rwckda! county pays and our present school term, five months, is far too short. Our County Board of Education could not withdraw from our present school fund enough money to im j p rove our 8 C h 00 l houses . ufion the Etchers and ; c liildroni of our schools an injus ( ; co . Importance of this tax. —To leave tbs improving of our school buildings to their respective com¬ munities means, in 'many instan¬ ces, that this important work will remain neglected, unu where it- is p *rformed the burden will be borne by just a few of the most progres¬ sive citizens. Both equality and economy suggest that this work be accomplish d by taxation. Local School tax.—B efore at local school tax could he assessed it would have to be r commended by two successive Gland Juries and ratified by the people that at the! j polls. I sincerely hope present Grand Jury will see fit to recommend that the above tax be levied. ! Scr 001,8 for 1901.—For the pres A1165 thew ar® FOE $$le fl; 'iéihe LO‘WEST POggifiLE ?RESES eut year our county will draw th* same amount of school fund from. Stut ‘ Treasury which i« drew ' uS *"' F eftl • changes have, been made in the h»i« i ios of our teachers nor in the length of school term and school year. Com. Salary.— The salary of tiie County School Commissioner for this year will be 4285.00, as he v/aS paid hn-t year 515 above :ii* agreed upon salary, Books Ready.—M y books, ne counts, etc, are ready for ami nation, and it will affo pleasure to furnish you any uesq* cd information concernin'. utjr schools within my power t< give.
