SCHOOL WORK OF THE STATE.
THE COUNTY COMMISSIONERS IN
SESSION AT ATLANTA.

Recommendations To BE Presented 10
the Legislature at Its Approaching
Session TO BE Decided On-Neariy
Every County superintendent in
the state Expected TO BE Present AZ

esting Papers Read at Yesterdays
Session.
Atlanta, Ga. oct. 15.-The convention Of
the county school commissioners Of the
state. which was called to order in the
Senate chamber this morning by State
School Commissioner Glenn. was attend
ed by us Of the 49, county commissioners
Of the state. Others are expected to ar
rive in time to be present tomorrow, when
the recommendations TO the legislature
are presented for discussion. so that what
ever is adopted viii be practically the
unanimous sentiments OF the school com
missioners Of the state. and consequently
expected TO have much weight with the
legislature.
In calling the convention to order Com
missioner Glenn made a brief address in
which he set forth the objects for which
he had invited the school commissioners
10 come together. The common schools, he
must be ample or the state cannot pro-
gress. The first thing man with family
who is seeking a new home asks is, what
are the facilities offered for the education
OF his children. If the common schools
are not abreast Of the times, the state
cannot hope to advance. He. therefore,
urged that the commissioners consider
the needs Of the common school system
of the state of Georgia as they now exist
and unite on some plan to enlarge and
increase their usefulness.
At the conclusion of Prof. Glenn's ad-
dress Maj r. G. Quinn. assistant state
school commissioner, was made seereta-
~ of the meeting and a committee was
appointed to report at to-morrow's ses-
sion upon the permanent organization of
the county school commissioners.

ed of the following commissioners;
Messrs. Wilson of Jackson, Duggan OF
Hancock McElvany of Rockdale, Nor
Bridges of Floyd, Davis of Dougherty,
Bush of Miller, Martin Of Liberty and
Wall of Ebert. This committee, whose
report will be the most important work
of the convention, will report to-mor-
row.
