TRINITY COLLEGE.

The success of all our North Caro-
lima colleges and schools is a matter
of sincere pleasure to the GOLD LEAF.
1t speaks we'll for our State and people.
Advancement is the order and there
is progress all along the line. At the
Methodist Conference in Greenville
last week President John F. Crowell,
of Trinity College, made a report
which must be gratifying alike to the
friends of that institution and of higher
education in the State. 1t shows an
attendance of 2o7 for the present year.
Last year there were IT'S in attend
ance. The college has seventeen men,
bers in its faculty-the equal of the
largest of the State. These figures
represent to some extent the growth
of the educational work of the Metho-
dists in North Carolina. Its property
since 1888 has increased from $40, 900
to 100000. The college now does
its work in the old buildings at Trim
ity in Randolph county, but is erect
ing two large buildings and an Inn on
Trinity Park, Durham. Four resi-
dences have already been completed.
Under the new charter the following
named gentlemen were elected mem
bers Of the Board of Trustees of Trim.

20 the growth OF the railways Of the
world from 1885 to the close OF 1883:
The total length OF the railways at
the close Of the last decade amounted
70 $40. 1913 miles equal TO nearly Gf-
teen times the equatorial circumference
81 the world, and more than 124, 600
miles In excess OF the mean distance
OF the moon from the earth. On Dec
81. 1879, the length Of the lines in
actual operation was 2l1, 202 miles.
and the increase in the last ten years
has, therefore, been 1873 per cent If
a similar increase takes place in the
present decade me mileage at the be-
ginning Of the twentieth century VIII
be more than $40, 0G0.
America contributed the greatest
number of miles Of road during the
four years under consideration, and
especially the United States, where
the growth amounted to %. / per cent
Canada and Mexico also show heavy
gains. After America comes Europe
with 1916 per cent. OF the various
countries there. Germany shows the
greatest increase, followed by Austria
France Russia and Italy. In Asia
