that some provision be made for
these toilets during the vacation, to
be entirely torn out, and Up-to- date
toilets put in, if possible, giving more
room, and with proper light and ven

PurVis School,.
We find this building in fair re-
small defects, as well as some re-
PAIRS needed to be made on the fence
We found two fire eXtinguishers in
this building, with an attendance of
two hundred and fifty pupils. Their
fire drill was excellent.
The janitors quarters in the fur
ing is poor; the well seems 70 be
falling and we understand that the
ram used to pump has not worked in
some time. We found the toilets in
this building in fair condition, but the
flush tank for the boys urinal has
not worked for some time, and the
iG2it0r cleans this by pouring water
from a bucket at stated periods.
The janitor's uarters in the fur
mace room were found untidy, which
is altogether unnecessary. It should
| be cleaned at once. We recommend
that the necessary repairs to this
building, toilet, fence and water sup
ply be attended to during the yaca-
ton.
Risley School (coiored).
We found the fence around the
school grounds and the building in a
very dilapidated condition and were
advised by Professor Ballard that it
was intended during the vacation FOR
the fence to be replaced with wire.
We we're also advised that the board
of education expects to spend, before
the next session of the school, one
| thousand dollars, which will put it in
fair condition.
| At the side doors where the pupils
enter the several school rooms, there
is no porch or shed and in case of
rain they would get wet while stand
ing on the outside, waiting :or ad-
mission into the school-room. We
recommend that when repairs are be-
ing made to this buil1ing, sheds be
made at the side entrance. also the
| front.
| In connection with this school, we
found a cooking department which we
highly commend and believe it is to
be along the lines of industrial de-
partments that should be looked we'll
| too, in the training of the Colored
children.
We recommend that suitable
building and equipment be royided
for This purpose.
Their drinking water supply is from
dippers and buckets. We recommend
that enc or two sanitary spigots pipes
be put in.
We noticed on the grounds of this
school, large hole where someone
has attempted to dig up a stump.
We recommend that this hole be filled
in and the entire grounds leyaled off.
The toilets at this school are out
side the building and are in bad re-
pair and entirely unsanitary. We re-
commend that they be torn out en-
tirely, and new ones put in, including
proper seats, etc.
During our visit to the several city
schools, Prof, Ballard ACCOMPANIED us
and the Committee extends thanks for
the courtesies and kindness shown
us by him as well as ali the teachers
in each school.
We believe that the system used in
the schools is the very best that the
County should be congratulated upon
havaing the very efficient Superin-
tendant and the excellent corps of
teachers, which they now have
Public Roads.
We have gone over the roads of the
county and, found them generally in
good condition with few exceptions.
The road to Dents plantation we
found could be put in excellent con
dition if the balance OF the road
tshould be shelled, and we recommend
tina, the County Commissioners be
re. Tested to do this at the earliest
o9aioIe moment. 1t would greatly
facilitate the automobile ira5el 10
and from Florida, and few, if any OF
the through travel, which now goes
over the Altamaha Ferry crossing VIA
Sterling, without coming to Bruns
wick, would do so, i there was Y
good shell road into the city.
he road to Thalmann we find in
good condition, hayi1g just been
worked by the conyicts. Other pub
lie roads are as good IS country roads
can be made, without using road ma
terial, with the eXceptin OF Clay Hole
road. We were informed by one of
the Commissioners, Mr.. W. R. Town
send, who has charge of the public
roads, that this road was in an i'm
passible condition owing to the high
waters Of the Altamaha CverrloWing
that section Of the county, and it is
the intention of the Commissioners
to move the county conyicts to this
section on the 18th, inst, and put
this road in good condition. In con-
