whole should afford the people OF
Brunswick and tilynn county v4gy
complete measure of qualification. as
regards the material condition Of the
nairs of the comfy.
The subject Of finances and edu.
cation are at all times paramount TO
ali others, and these two very impor-
tant adjuncts Of Glynn county are
certainly in good shape, II the present
ments indicate The real condition.
on the question Of education the
grand jury says:
1--WE feel thatour community Is bless
ed with good system Of public
schools and in the. hands Of a compe
tent superintendent and eflcient corps
Tof teachers. In al, we were very fay'
orably impressed with the schools
visited. BY inquiry we learn that the
schools at Frederica, st. sImon's Mills
JekyI, Cypress Mills, Camp Walker,
Emanuel and coleridge. viii compare
lfavorabiy with the best county and vi
|lage schools throughout the state. The
smaller schools are below the stand
lard. which is largely due to insufficient
financial aid at the hands Of the board.
whe committee on public schools
reports very pleasant and salts
ctory visit to the city schools, known
las Glynn Academy and Purgis Gram
mar school, At Glynn Academy we
were received by Superintendent Bal
Hard, who courteously showed us
Through the grades, explaining every
detail and feature OF the school work,
from the room OF the first grade
where the very little folks seem 50
intent at their work, or up TO the
Eleventh or graduating grade In ey'
lery instance we were decidedly i'm
pressed with the earnestncss OF the
teachers. and their interest in each
scholar in their charge could be read
lily seen. we we're ushered into each
room unexpectedly and It gave US nc
little pleasure to note the perfect or
lder maintained in each and every IN
Istance. In our opinion the discipline
lis perfect. The recess period cams
during our visit aud we witnessed the
Iexit Of the different grades a. wei
Ia their return from the play grounds
Iamd all was conducted in the best O
Iorder each child filing the place as
signed so that the falling in line ana
marching to and from the Duildins
was quietly and readily accomplished
The fact that the county is in q
GOOD condition from tinancal point Of
View is best evidenced from the follow
line paragraph taken from the preaeh z
msn,s
III seems To your committee that
the handsome balance in the hands OF
|tho county treasurer should be earn
ling something and we would recon-
mend that so much of this amount as
il not required for immediate use,
| be placed at interest with our banks
mon a basis similar to that made by
the Sinking Fund Commissioners.
ii is the subject OF congratulation
Ito find the finances OF the county
lin such a healthy condition, especial
liz when we reflect that not many years
ago the obligations were 80 heavy and
credit so impaired that she coull
boast OF no financial standing. It
Igives us pleasure to attribute this
Iconditiop Of affairs to the good finan
cial Judgment and faithful! Discharge
Of duty by our various county officers
aud we commend them and their acts
| to the favorable consideration Of the
public"
However. to our mind the most i'm
Iportant recommendation made by the
grand jury was the one, framed in the
following language:
"ResoIsed, That inasmuch as the
Icounty Of Glynn has made good SUI,
lplus OF cash on hand, that We recon-
mend that the present court house BE-
lsold at the best obtainable price, but
mot less than It's total cost, and that
1.-THE proceeds Of same be applied TO
wards the erection Of court house
that is more in keeping with the
present demands of our county"
Glynn county needs and needs very
badly a new court house, The buta
