Excerpt from A History of Georgia for Use in Schools The author has tried to present in this book the leading facts of the history of Georgia, and he has spared neither time nor trouble in endeavoring to obtain them. Leading facts in the history of the United States are interwoven in the narrative wherever the closeness of their relation to Georgia history makes it necessary or desirable. The book is written for pupils of from twelve to fifteen years of age. Though not descending to childish narrative, the author has endeavored to make the story easily under stood. But it cannot be mastered without study, for with out study nothing really valuable in education can ever be acquired. The narrative that is merely pleasing is not always the most serviceable or the most likely to be retained in the memory.

Excerpt from A School History of Georgia: Georgia as a Colony and a State, 1733-1893 IN comparison with most of the states which composed the original thirteen, Georgia has not a great deal of history, being the youngest tree that was planted by more than half a century. But that history is very interesting and should be made familiar to the young pe0p1e, whether they be children of the state by nativity or adoption. This little book is not intended to embrace all of that history in its many details, but is merely an abridgment compiled from larger and more comprehensive works. It begins with Oglethorpe, the founder of the colony, and comes down through many changes, many disasters and successes to the present hopeful and prosperous condition. To this compilation have been added a few chapters con cerning slavery, its origin, continuance and abolition. Also concerning the causes that provoked the late unhappy war and the results that followed in its wake. These historic readings contain the facts of the case - facts that have been established but have not heretofore been published in any book of history. The author regards these readings as especially important to the young people whose fathers and grandfathers fought in that war - fought for something they believed to be right.

Excerpt from A Standard History of Georgia and Georgians, Vol. 5 Marshall Wellborn Dunn was educated in country schools, which he attended until reaching the age of sixteen, at which time he left school In order to assist his father in the management of the plantation, of which he later took entire charge, residing on it until 1909. He then organized a partner ship with W. T. Parish, under the style of Dunn Parish, and founded a general mercantile and supply house, which is now one of the leading busi ness concerns in Thomson, the enterprise having been successful. Mr. Dunn has long taken a strong interest in educational matters, and his fellow citizens, knowing him to be a good man to entrust with school matters, in 1899 elected him a member of the board of education. After serving efficiently for several years, in 1904 he was elected as county school superintendent, which position he still retains. He took a leading part in the erection of the fine new high school, completed in 1911, and which cost $20, 000. In putting through this project to its final consummation, he had to work hard to overcome the strong opposition against it on the part of many citizens who objected to the city's incurring so great an expense, but persuasion and argument finally prevailed, and it would now be hard to find anyone who does not take a pride in this magnificent and commodious building, or who would wish to go back to the old condition of things.
