To the casual observer it has appear
eU that good old and sacred docu-

of our rights as American citizens. For
so long time we seem to have been
living under the rule Of precedent on
ly, a complication of contradictory
rulings increasing by the many thous-
andS pages each year until it is a
wonder that the courts and lawyers
ever evolve decision on the merits

Public school system, which has been in operation
now twenty-six years and which~has furnished
tree school books to all of its pupils, white and
colored throughout the eleven grades Of the city
schools Judge Crum went extensively into the
condition OF the rural schools of the county and
gave some interesting statistics, which no doubt
vas mostly new information to the grand jurors
as we'll as the large number of citizens in the
court room at the time Judge Crum stated in
part:
when your county was created IN 1907, the
entire revenue for that year went to the parent
counties and neither the schools Of your county
nor the administrative part OF the county had any
funds with which to start housekeeping The earl
cst records show that the schools outside of Fitz-
gerald at that time consisted of eighteen poorly
constructed school houses with practically no
equipment. No definite data is available for the
first years of the county's school system Begin
ning in 1915, the record shows that there were Is
White teachers employed at an average salary OF
S4S per month for men and $38 for women with
an enrolment of 1000 pupils and daily average
attendance of about 500 During 1915 $l6O was
spent by the Board for equipment and 81 0l6 for
new buildings. The income consisted Of $8,2l5
from the state and $500 from the county for
school purposes. From 1915 to 1920 the county
ad state funds increased from $4,000 to $4,000
but even this increase was not in proportion to the
advance in teachers salaries the cost of equipment
or buildings material In 1922 the county shows
it had 81 white teachers at an average salary of
$9l.& for men and sos for women teachers The
enrolment had reached the number OF 1900 with
daily attendance of 1900 white children
AS Judge Crum states, settlers Of desirable
class of cizens, best be attracted through good
schools in the rural districts and whatever it may
cost to the property owners to secure the full
school term and competent teachers, is well in
vested and will bring large returns in increased
property values and better citizenship
