Excerpt from Educational Survey of Stephens County, Georgia From illustrations and descriptions and reports of the schools of Stephens county as given herein it will be seen that the public school situation isnot such as to excite the pride of the citizens or afford a fair opportunity to the children, and it is very clear that the entire county school system must be reorganized before a basis can be laid for adequate educational facilities for the children of the county. The problem, which is the most important one confronting the people, shculd be considered as a whole rather than from the standpoint of any one school or locality. It is a countywide problem of far-reaching importance, and well deserves the most serious consideration of all good citizens. It is not even second in importance to permanent good roads or streets or court houses. No school in the county can ever attain its highest efficiency or render its greatest service until every school in the county is made a good school. Each one is more or less dependent upon and influenced by every other one, and all should be organized into a harmonious educational system with the purpose of providing for every child in the county equal and adequate opportunities for a thorough education. This can only be done by a business-like organization well indicated by experience and opinions of public school administrators, and the unselfish cooperation of all the citizens of the county. Such reorganization will first involve abolishing the legal wall of separation in educational matters set up by special legislation around the towns of Toccoa and Martin, and making one cause with the rest of their county for a thoroughly efficient educational system. This can be done as it has been done in many other Georgia counties, without any sacrifices, financial or educational, to either of these Stephens county towns. On the contrary, there is much to be gained by both towns from cooperating in such proposed reorganization. Still more would be the gain to rural sections of the county; and no good fortune can come to any part of the county without being shared by the county seat. The public schools at Toccoa and Martin have probably about reached their full growth and development already until they can render better service and receive better support for their county, and to perpetuate their limitations would be selfish, non-progressive, and suicidal policy.
