Excerpt from Educational Survey of Screven County Georgia The following report upon a survey of the schools of the county is submitted to patrons and citizens with the hope that it may receive their earnest consideration. It will be seen that the schools throughout the county are doing "tolerably well," while some of them have attained the "Standard." The best, arc none too good for the children of Screven County or as efficient as the people of the county are able to make them. Hardly as much effort and attention have been devoted to any of them as to the development of agriculture and stock raising in sonic places in the county. "People are more important than property," and a still more liberal investment in the proper development and training of the children would be more profitable than in hogs and cows and corn and cotton. Money wisely expended on the public schools, whether through "local taxation" or otherwise, should not be regarded as an expense, but as an investment in present and future citizenship. Screven County voted "For Local Tax" in 1907. and the levy applies to the entire county, including municipalities. The rate levied is 31/2 mills, which is less than in former years. The State school fund appropriated to the county is $21,302.63. and the local levy yields $7,876.55, making a total maintenance fund of $29,239.18. This maintains the schools for seven months, and from a balance left an appropriation is made for another month to such schools as will locally raise by subscription funds for still another month, giving to these schools nine months. The board has also been able to duplicate all efforts of individual schools in the matter of buildings and equipment, thus stimulating local school spirit over the county generally.

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.
Relates the early history of the University of Georgia from its founding in 1785 through the Reconstruction era. In this history of America's first chartered state university, the author recounts, among other things, how Athens was chosen as the university's location; how the state tried to close the university and refused to give it a fixed allowance until long after the Civil War; the early rules and how students invariably broke them; the days when the Phi Kappa and Demosthenian literary societies ruled the campus; and the vast commencement crowds that overwhelmed Athens to feast on oratory and watermelons.
Informal science is a burgeoning field that operates across a broad range of venues and envisages learning outcomes for individuals, schools, families, and society. The evidence base that describes informal science, its promise, and effects is informed by a range of disciplines and perspectives, including field-based research, visitor studies, and psychological and anthropological studies of learning. Learning Science in Informal Environments draws together disparate literatures, synthesizes the state of knowledge, and articulates a common framework for the next generation of research on learning science in informal environments across a life span. Contributors include recognized experts in a range of disciplines-research and evaluation, exhibit designers, program developers, and educators. They also have experience in a range of settings-museums, after-school programs, science and technology centers, media enterprises, aquariums, zoos, state parks, and botanical gardens. Learning Science in Informal Environments is an invaluable guide for program and exhibit designers, evaluators, staff of science-rich informal learning institutions and community-based organizations, scientists interested in educational outreach, federal science agency education staff, and K-12 science educators.
First published in 1944, this is a detailed survey of twenty-four distinguished periodicals published in antebellum Georgia. Flanders shows that literary activity was generally confined to middle Georgia and often concentrated on themes of religion and morality, early American life, and European adventures. An extensive bibliography and three appendices give a comprehensive list of magazines published during the time, including dates, places of publication, and names of editors and publishers. More than nine hundred footnotes further elaborate on the analysis of backgrounds, local historical events, and information on contributors.
