inns forward movement, raising the
standard for educational advantages
equal 10 ,hat afforded in the city, in
iaot the citizens in this country dis
t1ct now have 1. Sraded school in full
operation. The plant is designed to
accommodate $50 pupils. At present 81
are enrolled With very high percent
age of daily attendance. Scholars
from a distance are brought to the
school and returned each day by
means Of carryall accommodating 80
children. Some scholars live as much
as ten miles from the school. The en-
tire initial cost of erection of build
ing. fencing and clearing the ground,
artesian well, water piping and sew
erage, also finishing of buildings, cost
= trifie over $12,500. And it is a great
source of pleasure TO learn that the
people making up that community re-
alize the value of such an unusual
privilege right at their very door and
as proof almost every child attends
the school. We trust that the day is
not far distant when other schools of
like nature can be attempted in other
parts of the county, for there is no
oher one thing that will tend to en-
courage settlers of good class NOV
ing in, than such good opportunities
70 educate their children. New set
tiers make more taxable property and
it will not be long ere the increased
revenues derived will easily take care
OF the additional cost of conducting
this graded county schol system.
We also paid a visit to the Mans
field street high school and were care
FULLY shown through its several de-
partments, and in every way we be-
iieye the many details to be worked
out to a nicely.
We made inquiry as to the other
schools, both iii the city and country
and was assured everything was NOV
ing along nicely and in the usual eff
cient way. Truly, Glynn county need
take no backseat as to her public
schools. even should Il most critical
comparison be made with other coun-
ties or communities, for she would
snow up of the highest standard Of
excellence and efficiency.
Public Roads.
Your committee on roads have
made actual inspection of about rs
miles Of the roads. We found all the
main roads as a whole in good condi-
ton. Much good work had been done
in the last year in demonstrating
roads, particularly the road to the
Altamaha river and the road to Ever
e5t City and the Wayne county line.
In the former road there is about u
half mile that has not been shelled
and there is Il few places that need re-
pairing in all the roads, particularly
Sterling to Old Sterling The county
commissioners have purchased some
up to date machinery Including a four
C6if motor truck which VIII be used in
keeping roads iii repair. 1t has long
been recognized that some such pro
vision for keeping roads in repair was
absolutely necessary
We commend the efforts being
made to get the first class highways
established from Brunswick to Black
shear along the line of the A., b. & A.
and from Brunswick to Waycross.
With the. exception Of perhaps two or
three miles on these highways in
+Glynn county this county has done All
the work necessary on the roads. The
remainder Of the work on the central
route, leading to Blackshear will have
10 be done by Wayne and Pierce coun-
ties on the road to Waycross will have
to be done by Wayne, iserce and
Ware counties.
With these roads opened up now so
as to be suitable for automobile travel
there would be great increase in
Brunswick trade territory. The Glynn
county commissioners have conferred
with the commissioners from Wayne
county about tllesetwo roads and they
have promised their cooperation.
Game and Fish.
Your committee on game and fish
desire to commend the department in
the very strongest terms for the eff
forts being put through for the pro
lection Of birds and other gme. We
especially commend the county war
den and his deputies for their efforts
which cannot fail OF producing excel.
lent results.
Recently there was issued from the
office Of the state game commissioner
pamphlet setting forth in the most
certain terms and in way to impress
the reader the value of the insect and
weed destroying birds giving fully
their value to the matter Of agricul-
.turc as well as health. We feel that
this circular should be given the wld-
est publicity coming as it does from
the very. best source Of information,
to-wit: The national government. We
feel sure that If the information con
tanned therein was read widely and
fully appreciated that the
of these valuable birds would cease.
The present fish law is new and I'M
tried end we are not able to say at
this time whether il is Q good law or
a bad law, however 1t is a step in the
right direction and II e should prove
