GREAT ADVANCE
IN EDUCATION
IN THIS STATE
AN INTERESTING STATEMENT
MADE BY CHANCELLOR BAR.
ROW, OF UNIVERSITY.
Statistics Prepared by Prof. Stewart
Shows a Great Progress in the
High Schools of the South-Some
Interesting Figures.

Atlanta, Ga, Oct. 24-"Tl.e most
notable advance of recent years in
education in Georgia is the improve
ment OF the high Schools" declares
Chancellor Barrow of the University
of Georgia. Some statistics have re-
Gently been compiled by Prof. J. S.
Stewart, of the University of Geor-
gia, showing tie progress of high
school development in the south.
These statistics cover the states of
Alabama Florida, Georgia. Louisiana,
Mississippi, North Carolina, South
Carolina and Virginia. The figures
for Georgia will doubtless prove Of
much interest in this state. Mr.
Stewart shows that in six years Geor-
gia has established 46 public schools,
81 private academies have been
changed to public high schools and
That the school course of 107 schools
has been heightened year or more.
In these six years the teaching force
has been strengthened by 81 addi-
tional teachers, school funds have in.
creased to the amount of $480,009,
and $1,S61 ,000 has been spent in the
erection of new buildings Tnls in
cludcs the district agricultural
schools.
The number of public high scools
in Georgia in the year 1909 totaled
231, with AZ private institutions.
Those with only one teacher devoted
onetalf the time to high school stud
les, and yet not high schools, were
l26. ~
Since the United States report Of
1904 the gain in attendance in pub
lie high schools has been $3.50; the
loss in private high schools has been
2,l19, the gain in sectarion high
schools has teen 25 showing altogeth-
er net gain of 6,16O. The number
of high schools accredited in 19O9-10
totaled l42, from which 1854 were
graduated in 1910.
In nearly all the 142 accredited
schools the recitation periods have
increased from 20 to 80 minutes to
40 and 45. Great improvements have
been shown in reducing the number
OF recitations from 5. g. and to
or ), and reducing classes taught by
one teacher from Is and 20, down to
or s. Longer periods, fewer sub
jects, more thorough treatment, bet
ter preparation, specialized teaching,
letter equipment and salaries char
acterize the progress in high schools
in Georgia.

1t is presumed that this city was
selected mostly tecause of the fact
that it is a port and has quite a large
