In submitting this, my second
annual report OF the schools and ed
vocational work in Giles county
am glad to say that there has beer
j considerable improvements made
e during the last year. 1 have Wis
D tied nearly every school In the
county and some Of them twice
and find that We need q lonee
school term and more uniformity il
K textbooks and general manage
8 ment. Most of the schools hav
/. given satisfaction, and the masse
in general are taking more interes
o in education.
O Many noble teachers are laborin;
q earnestly tor the development of tn
e minds of the youths in thei
charge.
g Several new school houses hav,
e been erected this year and the old
!, log cabin with its log benches i
d giving way to neat school house
with patent desks.
The State Normal Institute beit
} at Martin College in Pulaski, unde
d my supervision with the assistance
of Capt. Chas. Douglass, Profs.
q A. Mynders, j. L. Lampson, Fran
: Goodman and Capt W. r. Garrett
was quite success. About 8
g teachers we're in attendance, an
(, considerable interest was NANTES
b ted on the part of teachers, and th
citizens of Pulaski.
T our other institutes or teacher
meetings have been held in th
< four sections of the county whicl
y we're very well attended by th
20 teachers.
:, The institute for the colore
- teachers held in June was the mos
Il intering one ever held in the coun
Is ty. OF the eighty colored teachers
d seventy-two were in attendance
a Our colored teachers are becoming
very much interested In the educa
70 ton oftheir people, and are dom
Is some good work in their schools.
Ia A meeting of the school director
|. was held on the 18th of October, a
which the following textbook
were adopted for five years:
o' Selected words in spelling, Nc
'e Guffeys Revised readers, Long
N Language Lessons, Pineoes Gram
h mars, Rays Old and New series c
. Arithmetics. The New to gradu
~ ally take the place of the Olt
III Electric Biographies to gradual
u take the place of all others.
Considerable interest was man
tested en- the part of the director
and some Of the members of th
" county court.
Re In conclusion l will say that tn
ID educational topic has been agitase
% in our county paper through the ed
), vocational columns, and l am en-
= deavering to create more favors
u BILE popular sentiment in regard t.
o public education.
