ing, grading and improving, and is
completed to Thalman, and somewhat
beyond that point. AS far as COM
pleted the road is indeed creditable.
The same is true of the road intersect-
ing this Thalman road to Jamaica, and
from Jamaica to Bladen. The road
from Glencoe to Sterling is generally
good. There are. however, three short
unshelled gaps on this road, but the
sand here is not so deep as that re-
ferred to on the Darien road. 1t ap-
pears furthermore that steps looking
to the hardsurfacing of these gaps
have already been taken, as evidenced
by finding oyster shells piled at Thir-
teen mile post. and also at Sterling.
From Everett's store to Brunswick,
the road is shelled, and found to be in
fine condition. We would say further
that about eighteen and a half miles
out on the Jacksonville road, at the
point at which the Bladen road turns
to the right, we find this road to have
been graded and put in fine shape up
to the point where same joins the
Bladen-Brookman road. From this
point, however, to Bladen, distance
of about one and one-half miles, the
road is in very bad condition, has ap-
parently had no attention for years,
and needs attention. We recommend
that this stretch be put in proper
shape as soon as possible.
Public Schools.
yNo houo d1,1u ipcnootad +1a
public schools, visiting the four white
and one colored schools, including the
Community school, and find conditions
excellent with all of them, except that
the Risley school is too small to ac-
commodate all the pupils. At this
school it is necessary to hold two
sessions daily, one in the morning and
the other in the afternoon. Il
The discipline at all the schools is
good. We have nothing but words of
praise for the. schools. and the school
system generally of this county. We
think that the number of children as
signed to each teacher is perhaps too
large, yet they all seem satisfied, and
the work progresses satisfactorily.
We are particularly impressed with
the Domestic science branch of the
high school. In our opinion this is
an important addition to the curriculum
and we recommend that all possible
assistance be given to this course.
In examining the kitchen and dining
room in the high school building, we
find that the floors, being below the
street level, are made of cement, but
are almost continuously damp. This
dampness is disagreeable, and injuri-
GUS to teachers and pupils, and we rec.
ommend that a wooden grating be put
down so as to overcome this draw
back, or fault.

General Resolutions.
We observe that in the high school
Especial attention is paid to the teach
ing of the domestic arts. The teach
ing and equipment seem to be all that
could be desired. A reference has al
ready been made above to this de-
partment of the school system, and we
reiterate our hearty commentator.
While This is being done for the girls,
we note the lack of corresponding
training for the boys along industrial
lines. In our opinion such a depart
ment for the boys, teaching industrial
Dr. mechanical arts, is important, and
would make an especial appeal to at
east two classes-those who are pre-
pairing to enter technical schools, land
these are rapidly increasing in num-
5er), and those who wish to enter
iome mechanical trade or profession.
We deplore the fact that so many
BOYS drop out of school before complet-
/ ng the high school course, and be-
ieve if course offering Industrial or
3 vocational training were available in
'ur schools here at home II would be
