THE COUNTY BOARD OF EDUCATION. 

The chief argument usually urged against the "County 
Unit of Administration" is the fear expressed that the mem 
bers of the county board of education may not measure up to 
the ediicatienal den t,EC'S of the towns and cities. But surely 
the problems and needs of rural education indicate the ne 
cessity for as broad and constructive educational statesman 
ship as the towns and cities; and both deserve and call for the 
services of the very best and biggest men the county affords. 

Unless the men composing our hoards of education are in 
advance of the prevailing1 educational sentiment of the com 
munity we cannot expect them to lead any movement for better 
urban or rural public schools; ami unless they are strong and 
influential men we cannot expect them to command much fol 
lowing. 

A few and increasing number of counties have evidently 
come to this view, and it is a matter that should seriously 
engage the attention of the Grand Juries who appoint board 
members. 

 WHICH IS THE BEST SYSTEM? 

It is thought by many that the cause of public education 
has suffered in Georgia from a confusion of too many school 
systems, for there is a great lack of uniformity in the various 
public school systems over the State. 

Almost every town and city has a "system" of its own, cre 
ated by special Act of the Legislature, and often conforming 
more or less to the supposed political interests of some local 
representative who "got it through." 

There are also several types of systems for rural schools in 
operation in the several counties and districts in the State 
(said to be as many as nine different kinds in operation in one 
county). These run all the way from the many, which rely 
wholly upon the State for support, and upon nobody in par 
ticular for direction and administration, to the few counties 
which levy a county-wide local school tax (in some cases 
amounting to more than is received from the State) and ad 
ministered by a county board of education and a professional, 
trained, superintendent. 

The educational demands of the day cannot be satisfied un 
der former conditions, and it is an important problem to be 
determined as to which one of the most progressive county sys 
tems will he the best for all. 

Therefore some investigations have been in progress with a 
view of ascertaining the relative merits and demerits of sev 
eral of the best approved county systems, and the results of 
these investigations are available in the "EDUCATIONAL 
BULLETINS," published by the State Department of Edu 
cation from time to time. 

Particular attention is called to (I) Bulletin No. 6, "An 
Educational Survey of Jackson County," showing efforts at 
progress through the "District Local Tax Plan" and a multi 
plicity of administrations. Here and elsewhere under this plan 
much of the benefit that should come from a high tax rate 
seems to be partly dissipated through a system that would not 
be tolerated in any other business enterprises. (2) Bulletin 
No. 7, "An Educational Survey of Houston County," repre 
senting county-wide local tax levied and administered by a 
county board of education, and supervised by a whole-time 

professional superintendent, but with independent munici 
pal exceptions. (3) Bulletin No. 8, "An Educational Survey of 
Eanclolph Comity," representing "A Single Unit of Support 
and Administration" including1 all municipalities, but with 
the towns under special Acts of the Legislature or otherwise 
levying a supplementary local tax after contributing to and 
participating in the county-wide local tax—similar to the re 
cent Alabama school laws. (4) Bulletin No. 9, "An Educa 
tional Survey of Monroe County," representing a "Complete 
County Unit System of Support and Administration," without 
any exceptions, but including municipal high schools. 

In the interest of the cause it is to be hoped that legisla 
tors will give the State a more uniform system for all counties. 
Let this be suggested and indicated in the revision of the 
School Code, so much needed. 

MONROE COUNTY PUBLIC SCHOOL SYSTEM. 
A Complete County Unit System. 

The public school system of Monroe County, Ga., presents 
an interesting example of the much-discussed "County Unit 
Plan of School Support and Administration" without any mu 
nicipal exceptions, for there are no "independent systems" 
here. The entire public school system of the county, including 
the municipalities of Forsyth and Culloden, is supported by a 
county-wide local school tax levied and administered by the 
county board of education. 

Since such a system is so strongly endorsed by the U. S. 
Department of Education and progressive public school men 
generally, that it merits a careful consideration. 

This survey, therefore, wras undertaken with the hope of 
furnishing accurate information as an intelligent basis for such 
study. In studying the details as reported herein one 
should constantly differentiate between such merits or demerits 
as should properly be chargeable to (a) the system, (b) the ad 
ministration, (c) the individual teachers. The thoughtful read 
er will easily do this. 

 SOME HISTORY. 

In October, 1906, the city of Forsytli voted against the es 
tablishment of a municipal public school system to be sup 
ported by a local tax levy. 

In December, 1806, Monroe County, including Forsytli, voted 
in favor of "county-wide local tax" by more than the requisite 
two-thirds majority. 

So, under the "County Unit Plan of Support and Admini 
stration" the county board of education levied a "county- 
wide local school tax" for the support of ALL the schools oh' 
the county in 1907; and this was the beginning of the system 
which is responsible for the present public school conditions 
and prospects in the county. 

ADMINISTRATION. 

Though the citizens of each school district have a right, 
under the law, to elect a local school board, they generally 
have not cared to exercise such legal right, being satisfied with 
the county administration. 

Where there are "local trustees" they have a legal right 
to select teachers for their several schools, etc., subject to 
the approval of the county board; but they have been satisfied 
to leave this important matter to the superintendent and 
county board, who generally have better facilities for selecting1 
and securing suitable teachers. In the case of the Forsytli 
High School the county board has insisted upon dividing this 
responsibility with a local advisory board, who usually refers 
the matter of nominating teachers to the school's superinten 
dent. 

The teachers throughout the county arc thus selected with 
reference to their professional qualifications, rather than their 
local or personal influence. 

TITLES. 

The county board of education locates the schools, and 
has acquired titles to grounds, thus establishing a first element 
of permanency. 

6 

SCHOOL HOUSES. 

The planning and building of school houses have not been 
left to haphazard local interests or indifference, but the re 
sponsible administration has constructed comfortable ami at 
tractive buildings, generally of uniform size and style, and 
planned with reference to the purposes to be served; and these 
are kept constantly repaired and repainted. They arc well 
supplied with single patent desks in suitable sizes, and with 
first-class blackboards, crayons, erasers, etc. A generous sup 
ply of fuel is also supplied to each school through winter 
months. 

The pupils and patrons, under leadership of the teachers, 
are reasonably expected to improve, beautify and properly keep 
the school grounds, school gardens, playgrounds, and interiors. 

The organization of the schools, arrangement of the daily 
programs, plans and methods of teaching, supervision and di 
rection of play, etc., are directly chargeable to the teachers. 

SOME RESULTS OF THE SYSTEM. 

The rural schools do not seem to have suffered from lack of 
attention from the county board. Practically all of the school 
houses have been built under the present system, and the re 
port shows them to be in first-class condition and well painted, 
Jiiauy of them recently repainted. 

But neither have the towns suffered under the system. For 
sytli had suffered from the need of a suitable high school build 
ing before the present system was introduced. Under ad 
ministration of the present system a modern high school build 
ing meeting all demands has been constructed. The building 
cost thirty-five thousand dollars, the comity board of educa 
tion paying twenty-five thousand and the city council ten 
thousand. The county board then added another five thousand 
for equipment. The titles vest in the county board, as with 
the other schools of the county. 

This school has steadily grown and improved until it is now 
rated by Dr. J. S. Stewart as a fully accredited high school. 
There has been, at times, complaint upon the part of some in 
the county and the city who feared that their respective local 

 interests would suffer at the hands of a "county unit of ad 
ministration," but all such fears seem to have beeii groundless 
and few complaints are now heard. It is worth remembering, 
however, that whenever there are grounds for complaint it will 
be easy to fix responsibility under such a system. 

THE SCHOOL YEAR. 

The school year throughout the county for these nine years 
has been nine months, except that in 190 the term was cut half 
a month, and in 190 one full month, the cut being uniform in 
town and country schools. This was thought necessary on ac 
count of the extraordinary expenses incident to the large 
amount put into new buildings. 

SCHOOL ATTENDANCE. 

The large arid increasing average attendance throughout so 
long a school year in the rural districts indicates the growing 
appreciation of the people. A still further indication is seen 
in the large number of high school pupils even at the one- and 
two-teacher schools; although this latter imposes a very evident 
and serious problem on the administration, which should en 
gage their earnest and early attention. 

SCHOOL SUPPORT. 

It is well worthy of note that while the State gives to IVIon- 
roc County schools $20,853.75, the county submits to a local 
tax that yields an additional $24,311.00. As expressed in dol 
lars and cents this indicates their appreciation of educational 
facilities for their children. The rate is five mills, and has 
never been less than four mills. Is this more than the edu 
cational interests of the children deserve? 

A COUNTY TEACHERS' ASSOCIATION. 

It is not at all surprising that there is maintained regularly 
a monthly teachers' meeting and an annual athletic and liter 
ary contest by the pupils from all the schools of the county. 

DISTINGUISHING FEATURES. 

L Titles to school property in county board of education 
—the first element of permanency. 

2. Good school houses, well-seated with, patent desks of 
suitable sizes. All kept in good repair. 

3. A nine months' school year throughout the county. 

4. A system that promotes the educational interests of town 
and county alike, recognizing the equal educational rights of 
the children regardless of residence. 

SOME RECOMMENDATIONS. 

(NOTE : A good system does not necessarily make good schools, 
but does make good schools possible. Much has been accom 
plished here under the "County Unit System," but still much 
remains to be accomplished.) 

1. CONSOLIDATION of some of the small schools at 
suitable convenient centers, where larger grounds and build 
ings can be planned for the school of the future, and enough 
teachers employed to make high school work possible. 

2. LIMIT the number of grades, according to the number 
of teachers. It is impossible for any teacher to teach as many 
recitation periods as appear on the daily programs of most of 
these one-teacher schools. Little more than a hurried hearing 
of lessons is possible. If the administration will carry out the 
first recommendation, the second will be easy of solution. 

3. For the sake of the moral and physical health of the 
children the matter of school toilets should have immediate and 
constant attention. 

4. The general absence of organized self activities among 
the pupils is a serious defect that greatly limits their education 
al possibilities. Every good teacher knows this to be true, and 
ean easily remedy it. Children should be encouraged to do 
something, as well as to know something. 

5. Unimproved and neglected condition of the school grounds 
is always a reflection upon the teacher and community. An 
enthusiastic leadership on the part of the teacher will always 
find a loyal following by pupils and patrons. Try it.

BESSIE TIFT COLLEGE. 

Forsyth, Ga. 
Joshua Hill Foster, A. M., D. D., President. 

This college is the property of the Georgia Baptist Con 
vention, and is said to l>e the oldest chartered college for wo 
men in the world, except Wesleyan College. 

The grounds comprise fifty-eight acres immediately in the 
city of Forsyth, much of which has been greatly improved. 
The campus is ample and beautiful, facing the Central of Ga. 
Railway. The athletic grounds are well improved, and pro 
vided with play appliances. A large swimming pool, con 
structed on a running branch, adds much to the athletics. The 
gardens and school farm arc utilized advantageously. 

The buildings are commodious and elegant, consisting of 
seven brick buildings. The central building contains an au 
ditorium, chapel, class rooms, laboratories, library, study halls, 
etc., and the president's office. 

There are several large and well-furnished dormitories, 
capable of accommodating three or four hundred girls. A well- 
equipped heating and lighting plant, a steam laundry, a san 
itarium, large barns, cottages, etc., give to the institution a 
modern educational plant. 

The college library, laboratories and general equipment is 
adequate to its demands. 

The student self-activities are cared for in organi/ed literary 
societies, B. Y. P. IT., Mission Study Clubs, Twilight Prayer 
Meetings, and a Self-Government Scheme. 

The Faculty consists of the president and some fifteen uni 
versity-trained teachers. 

The patronage has usually been very large and from all 
sections of Georgia, and some other States.
