G. G. BOND

   Professor G. G. Bond, Superintendent of the Athens City Schools 1891-1923
(date of sketch), was born in the town of Franklin, Ga., July 6, 1863. His
earliest recollections hover around the old military stockade in Andersonville,
where the sight of the Federal soldiers made a lasting impression on his memory.

   His early training along educational lines was secured first in "old field
schools" in South Georgia for three years; two years was then spent at a school
in Hogansville, and a year and one-half in a Gainesville school completed his
preparatory work.

   At seventeen, he was a teacher of a country school at Old Midway Church in
Forsyth, County; at eighteen and nineteen he was teaching country schools in
Cherokee County, Georgia.

   Graduated from Peabody Normal School, Nashville, Tennessee, in 1885, at the
age of twenty-two.

   One term in a country school in Hart County; two years of teaching in the
South Georgia M. & F. College, Dawson, Ga., completed his work before he came to
Athens, Georgia.

   In 1888 he became principal of the Washington Street School, on the lot where
the Georgian Hotel now stands, in Athens, and he was principal of this school
for two years, principal of the High School at Columbus, Georgia, for one year,
and superintendent of the Athens City Schools since 1891.

   Residence address, 198 Bearing Street, Athens, Ga. Business address, City
Hall, Athens, Ga.
