Excerpt from Educational Survey of Carroll County Georgia, 1919 (Submitted by M. L. Duggan, Rural School Agent for Georgia, on May 8, 1918.) To the Carroll County Board of Education, and Citizens of the County: At the request of your county Board of Education I was delegated by the State Department of Education to make a careful survey of the schools of the county and make recommendations to the county Board, especially with reference to school districts. I first discussed the situation fully with the county Board of Education, and afterwards with the Grand Jury for the Spring Term of Superior Court. The Grand Jury, after due consideration, unanimously passed the following resolution: "Believing that there are too many little schools in our county for many of them ever to become strong, and in order that better and stronger schools can be built so as to adequately educate All The Children of the county, we would heartily endorse the movement on the part of our county Board of Education (with the aid of the State Department of Education) to re-district the county, and we earnestly urge upon them the importance of making these school districts of such size as the law contemplates - a minimum of sixteen square miles - in order that stronger and better schools can be built upon broader foundations. We urge that in doing this the Board shall keep in view the future and permanent best interests of All sections of our county, and not be influenced by any seeming temporary individual or local interests to create small or irregular shaped districts, even though some localities may suffer temporarily in the interest of the permanent good for the whole county."

Few places in the United States feel the impact of courthouse disasters like the state of Georgia. Over its history, 75 of the state's counties have suffered 109 events resulting in the loss or severe damage of their courthouse or court offices. This book documents those destructive events, including the date, time, circumstance, and impact on records. Each county narrative is supported by historical accounts from witnesses, newspapers, and legal documents. Maps show the geographic extent of major courthouse fires. Record losses are described in general terms, helping researchers understand which events are most likely to affect their work.
Thomas G. Dyer’s definitive history of the University of Georgia celebrates the bicentennial of the school’s founding with a richly varied account of people and events. More than an institutional history, The University of Georgia is a contribution to the understanding of the course and development of higher education in the South. The Georgia legislature in January 1785 approved a charter establishing “a public seat of learning in this state.” For the next sixteen years the university’s trustees struggled to convert its endowment--forty thousand acres of land in the backwoods--into enough money to support a school. By 1801 the university had a president, a campus on the edge of Indian country, and a few students. Over the next two centuries the small liberal arts college that educated the sons of lawyers and planters grew into a major research university whose influence extends far beyond the boundaries of the state. The course of that growth has not always been smooth. This volume includes careful analyses of turning points in the university’s history: the Civil War and Reconstruction, the rise of land-grant colleges, the coming of intercollegiate athletics, the admission of women to undergraduate programs, the enrollment of thousands of World War II veterans, and desegregation. All are considered in the context of what was occurring elsewhere in the South and in the nation.
