esting one with the teachers, though the
matters which were discussed were of
professional nature, and probably would
not interest the general reading public.
Not that the subjects are lacking in
interest, but they have been such as pro-
fessional people only can fully aRpre-
ciate.
It has been
''Modern Language and Literatsre
Day.' r.
The subject of the first paper was
English Etymology and the Forming of
Vocabulary" by Prof. G. A. Wan
chope, Ph D., of Horner School, Oxford.
The Language of the English Bible
was the subject of an intensely inter-
esting paper by Prof. Geo. 1. Wells, of
Oak Ridge Institute.
This was followed by paper of equal
interest from Prof. @. A. Smith, who
treated the very interesting subject of
''The Literature of the Old South"
These papers were the special features
Of the morning exercises, and consua3d
the forenoon session.
Appointment of Committees. ]
The assembly resolved to day to make
official recognizance of all work and do
nations made in the interest of educa-
tion in this State, and with a view to.
doing this properly, it has appointed q
committee of five on resolutions and re-
cognizances with regard to North Caro-
fo0 0fi khn rs ol,
ton. The members of the committee
are Prof. G. D. McIver, Rev. DR.. Thos.
Hume, Prof. Hughes, of Reidsville;
Prof. w. s. Currell and Prof. w. L.
Poteat.
Another committee was also appointed
whose duties are to prepare suitable In
Memoriams" on deceased members Of,
the assembly. i.
County Superintendent AssociatiQn.
At $3.50 p m. there was meeting Of
the State Association of County Super
intendents of Public Instruction. This
was the second annual meeting of this
organization and several counties were
represented.
The lowing officers were elected for
the ensuing year President, Isham
Royal, of Sampson county; vice-presi-
dent, p. M. Pearsall, of Jones; secre-
tary, W; N; shaMa Of .pY nYpplin,t lMina,ttazs va7a
discussed during the session, among
which was the "Book Trust" The mat
ter was suffered to go over without con-
clusion.
1t was resolved that the superinten-
dent of instruction Of each county should
seek to enlist some prominent county
newspaper in the interest of particular
matters with reference to public educa-
ton; and that, where practicable, each
superintendent should write one column
each week on county educational matters.
Night Session.
Tonight brought on another very de-
lightful and instructive lecture. The
subject was "How to Study an Epoch,
with Special Reference to the Fourteenth
Century," This paper was prepared by
Prof. w. s. Correll, of Davidson College.
I would be very glad if I could give
the "gist" of these addresses, but can
not unless should give them all in full
for they all seem to be ''gist." The sub
iects were all we'll studied and the pa
pers were all freighted with condensed
thought.
Tomorrow will be s'Natural Science
day and bids fair to be one of the great
est interest yet.
