Gentlemen: The law makes it my
duty as County School Commissioner
Of your county to report to your body
at the spring term of court the OBJ
erations of the schools under me for
the past year |, therefore, submit
the following statement in reference
to our schools:
The Board Of Education of the
County maintained during 1910, 81
white, and 26 cOlored schools, a total
of 80 schools under them.
There were enrolled in the white
schools 1864 children of school age,
with an average attendance of 2,408
The cOlored schools enrolled LIZ,
with an average attendance of 712.
To maintain these schools the Board
received from the State SIT ,80387, and
80 per cent of this was not received
until December, and the last half of
December
The Board expended on new build
ings, repairs and furniture, 81 $4,000,
leaving $16,353OO, for salaries of
teachers in so schools. This gives an
average Of $204.00 per school, which
will pay a teacher five months at
$4,000 per month.
But other incidental expenses, as
the salary of members of the Board.
salary Of the Commissioner, insurance
on buildings owned by the Board, sta
tionery, stamps. etc, must all come
out before the division is made.
Of course, many of the schools re-
ceive more than $4,000, being much
above the average size; while others
receive less than this amount. The
Board prorates the funds approx
mately in proportion to the size CT
the schools, paying the teachers sala
ries each month. In order to pay the
salaries promptly, we issue script
bearing seven per cent. interest, the
Board not having heretofore had au-
thOrity to borrow money to meet it's
obligations
The white school houses in the coun-
ty are worth $42,35000; and the fur
niture in them is worth 100000. Four
elegant school buildings were erected
during the year, one at AttaWay worth
about $4,000 one at AllatOona worth
