these:--
1. Three years' experience in teaching, one year of which shall have
been in Georgia, and the possession of a first-grade license.
or
2. A diploma from a reputable college or normal school.
or
3. Five years' experience in actual school supervision.
or
4. An approved examination before the State Board of Education as to

It is his duty to examine on a day advertised for that purpose all
applicants for licenses to teach, and to grade such applicants
according to the instructions of the State Superintendent of Schools.
He is a medium between the State Superintendent of Schools and all
subordinate school officers, and acts as the agent of the County Board
of Education in purchasing school furniture, apparatus, and all
educational requisites.
Besides partly supporting the public schools, the State supports other
institutions for higher learning. These institutions, though situated
in different parts of the State, are collectively known as the
_University of Georgia_, which has its seat at Athens. The head of all
these institutions is styled the _Chancellor_, but each has its
President and separate board of trustees. The trustees are appointed
by the Governor for various terms.
The University of Georgia consists of the college at Athens and the
following branches: The Georgia Normal and Industrial College, State
Normal School, South Georgia State Normal School, State College of
Agriculture, North Georgia Agricultural College, Medical College,
Technological School, and Georgia State Industrial College for Colored
Youths.
The educational system of Georgia is being constantly improved by
voluntary local taxation supplementing the State funds. Every child in
Georgia is entitled to receive a thorough education, suited to the
station in life to which he can reasonably aspire. This much should be
demanded. Nothing less should be accepted as sufficient. May the time
soon come when the people of Georgia will realize that money spent to
develop the minds and characters of their children is the best
investment to be made for them in time and eternity.
