be used will be in making necessary
repairs on Risley school building, and
other material to be used in building
or making necessary repairs on
country schools in county; and the
lot on which the oEE Building stands
is to be beautified and used as a
park; all of which we heartily rec
ommend.
County Jail.
While we find that this building
in fair condition, We certainly
think it entirely too ancient in most
respects to be a credt to Glynn
county, it being unsafe to allow the
worst criminals to have freedom of
upper Goors at any time for air, as
it is very easy for them to pick
through the brick walls. We think a
rev ard modern Jail to be one of
the greatest needs of the county
The window frames and iron bars
across the windows are very much
in need of paint; also the roof needs
painting.
We also find that the floor in front
part of the building are some two or
three feet above ground, which at
times fills up with water and floods
floor. We think this space should be
filled in and this defect remedied.
The public buildings in county out
side of city are reported to us in fair
condition.
Public Schools
A visit was made to the two large
buildings used for this purpose, and
with the aid and courtesy of Profes-
sor Ballard, a thorough examination
vas made of same.
We find that some admirable i'm
provements have been made in the
past year. in the %Eansfieid street
school, which adds to its capacity
about one hundred scholars more and
provides q sanitary, convenient and
good physical condition of the en-
tire building Other improvements
are now in progress which will add
to the appearance and surroundings,
by way of tasteful lawns, trees and
flowers, ali of the plans and changes
being characterized by wise and taste
full care and economy.
We viewed some of the practical
work of the scholars, accomplished
under the modern and progressive
methods of Mr.. Ballard and his eff
cient assistants, and can attest to the
clear value of such methods over
the systems in practice in former
years. We were impressed with the
visit to this school, OF the earnestness
and ability of the present principal,
not only as a Jealous educator, but as
la business man and executive Of
force, tact and industry, and we be
iieve this school property in good and
reliable hands during his incumbency
We found the Rislcy school building
however, III very bad condition, and
would feel called upon to write
strongly upon this subject as it is
evident that our citizens have not paid
necessary attention to this to keel
the building in even a safe condition
but we find that steps have already
been taken, and THAT the matter o
immediate repairs is now in the hand,
of an architect and a sum suitlcien
for the purpose of makingehe buildin,
safe, comfortable and E,SSftable agan
Tor term of years is in hand to dc
the work, which will be begun ant
completed promptly
The superintendent states that ther'
| are several improvements cOntcmplal
ed in this school, that will much ill
prove its efficiency and results, Ol
OF the most important being the en-
ployment OF d graduate Of the TuS
kegee Institute, who will come endol
sed by Booker Washington as one q
his best pupils, and who is eXpecte
to improve the standard OF the teacI
ers employed in their school.
We find that there is deplorabl
JnSestion in the white school, an
while we have building that is con
moGious, modern ana a pride to ou
county that at icas' double th
ischool capacity is necessary for tn
Irrescnt and immediate future and
is gratifying TO know that plans hay
been adopted to provide for this nece
sity by erecting another building, an
that all that is now necessary to b
gin the work is the location Of sit
Work is now In progress 10 this Ell

settled at the reading Of these mi
