Connolly, j Georgia Dade county; ' ■> To the Honorable Grand Jury of 3aid county, greeting: I, as County School Commis sioner, beg to submit this my an nual report showing the operation of the public schools for the year 1900. There were twenty-one white and two colored schools taught in the county with a total enrollment of 1079 children. I received for school purposes the following amounts to wit: From J. P. Jacoway former C. S. C. June ste 1900, 7.61 From State Department Sept. 20, 1901 $1,180.78 From State “ dan. 16, 1901 1,994,06 Total amount recejved 3,183,32 The following amount? were paid out to the following named teachers to wit: Misses Jackson & Killian $316 94 Miss Laura Killian 55 77 Miss Ella Forester 62 49 Miss Leta Allison 68 11 Misses Pope & Hale 126 38 Miss Mamy Alley 63 00 Miss Georgia Howard 50 59 Miss Saidy Chambers 175 72 Miss Fannie Cureton 75 36 Miss Daisy Tatum 245 13 ‘ Nina Jacoway 168 33 1 Maud Williams 198 72 * Naoma Killian 66 33 ‘ Myrtle Cureton 26 68 Colquit Chambers 93 04 Jake Sells 249 26 Garrett L.

C, 135 00 Balance on hand * 18 32 Total $3,183 32 I find that a deal of- the dissatisfaction with the working of the public schools of the county is due to the fact that most of the districts have very poor houses with very few of tne accommoda tions necessary for the success of either teacher or pupils and that too little interest is being mani fested by the patrons of some dis tricts. out am glad to say there has been some improvement on these lines and hope to see moie sub stantial buildings with better equipment and the hearty co-oper ation of all the people in the near future. Respectfully Submitt -d. W. C. Cureton, C, S. C.
