ONE DOLLAR A YEAR
To Standardize State Schools.
Atlanta, Ga., Nov. 26.—The Sthte
■ superintendent of education has start
ed on one of the most important
I works ever undertaken in Georgia—
lan effort to standardize the schools
of the state and bring about unl
: formity of excellence.
Superintendent Brittain is mailing
I out now a circular letter to county
| school superintendents embodying the
| salient features relative to inaugural
; ing this standardization. It gives
the patrons as well as school offi
cials a test by which they can know
whether their schools are doing the
work which they and the state au
thorities have a right to expect for
the money expended.
It is the first instance in the
South of work of this character and
a great deal is expected of it. Chan
cellor Barrow says of the plan: ‘I
have gone over your standard for
county schools very carefully and
have no amendments to suggest. I
think it is fine, and 1 am glad you
have done this.’
Supervisors M. 1,. Duggan and Miss
Celeste S. Paris, both teachers of
long and wide experience in the
State schools, say it is the most
helpful work which five State de
partment. lias yet undertaken for
raising the standard of the eountry
schools. With the various features
plainly specified which go to make
up a standard which is a unit of
measurement for good and effective 1
educational work, there is no reason
for tile continuance of the weak and
inferior schools. The Georgia cam
paign committee will print a large
number of these tests and send them
throughout the state for the use of
patrons and teachers as well as of
ficials.
The plan and scope to secure uni
formity in excellence is set forth in
the circular under seven heads, as
follows:
Tile teacher: Good teaching; good
order and management; first grade,
certificate; full, neat and accurate
school register; dally program post
ed in tile school room; teacher's
manual on desk.
Grounds: Good condition; play
grounds; school garden; two sepa
rate sanitary closets.
Building: Painted outside; plaster
ed or ceiled and painted; no leaks;
windows without broken panes; cloak
rooms; good doors with locks and.
keys, clean and well kept.
Equipment: Patent modern desks,
at least twenty lineal feet of black
board per room; building comforta
bly heated and ventilated; framed
pictures on the walls; dictionary;
maps and library; sanitary water
supply.
Associated activities: Manuel arts,
corn, canning, poultry or cooking
club.
Salary of each teacher: At least
S4O per month.
Term: At least seven months.
Upon compliance with every point
under each of the seven heads, the
State department of education will
; send a certificate which can be fram
, ed and will designate the institution
as a standard county school, it is
understood that many counties can
comply with these requirements at
once, while with others it will prove
a matter of time and perseverence.
But when one or two schools come
i up to the standard in a county it is
, expected to have a stimulating ef
fect on the others.
