from conference with State Superin-
tendent Glenn and the incoming Super
tendent Merritt and chancellor of the
University, President Branson, OF the
Normal School and Mr.. Z. r. Hodgson,
a. prominent citizen AT this conference
we drafted 2. series of questions from
which it is hoped TO elicit the full kaoWl-
edge regarding the schools which we de-
s!re. These questions Will be propounded
to each county superintendent in turn in
the hearing of all others. that conditions
in each county may be known by all.
From the knowledge thus gained,
A card catalogue covering all
the schools, viii be prepared for the use
of the State superintendent of Georgia
and our board. From this it will be seen,
;irst. that it is cur purpose TO operate
only in connection with the educational
authorities of the several StatoS and to
lie guided by their counsel. We believe
THAI Inc men whom the people of the
State hive elected are the persons through
whom we should reach the problem we
arc set TO solve. We have no thought
of colonizing teachers from the North,
nor of transplanting Northern ideas. On
the contrary, We believe that the teachers
OF the South should be the product of
the soil of the South, and that your
schools should beorsanized by yourselves
in harmony with your traditions ana IN
stitutions.
NORMAL SCHOOLS.
From these considerations it will be
seen that it is imperatiTely necessary
to give specific appropriations for rural
schools, until after we have developed
a constructive programme based upon
accurate knowledge of the facts.
However, we are anxious TO invest our
funds in ways which shall contribute to
the Accomplishment OIL inns great Cd
ject.
!. We have noticed the tremendouk
industrial developments in the South and

schools of technology sustain to this de-
velopment We have therefore made
contributions TO The Georgia School of
Technology OF Atlanta, the Alabama
School of Technology at Auburn. and
the School Of Technology connected with
Tulane University at New Orleans.
. We have made appropriations to
normal training schools. convinced that
there is an increasing demand for teach
ers specially and technically trained. We
have also established at the Teachers
College of New York city 4 few scholar
ships of $500 each which are TO be given
to selected teachers from The faculties

INDUSTRIAL EDUCATION.
1t is also our intention, always in CO.
operation with State departments. to es-
tablish a limited number of model nor
NAL schools, where emphasis will be
placed on manual and industrial educa-
ton We have also had khe pleasure
of contributing To Summer Schools of
Methods in different States including the
school now in session here
In conclusion. DR.. Buttrick likened
the work of his board to that Iof an
inconspicuous engine whose end is
served when the great train has reached
the Top of the hill. The board Graves
the privilege of thus aiding you. after
Which it will quietly 'hock, hook" and
wait for the next train that may need
its help.
