Description
An account of the resource
Superintendent Edwin C. Merry served as the Fulton County Schools Superintendent from 1908 to 1917.
In 1914, 43 schools (about half the system) were located five miles or more from the city center of Atlanta - and were thus considered rural.
The change to a 7-month school year came toward the end of an evolution in the school schedules that began with a 3-month term in 1871 when the system was first established. By the early 20th century, most schools had adopted the 9-month term that closely resembles the present school calendar; however, in rural areas, where school-aged children had responsibilities on family farms, schedules revolved around planting and harvesting seasons.
