speaks of the patronage of the in-
sfitutiou in the following lans
guage:

think | will mention
tn $ first, because more depends on
the quantity OF the material that
an institution is called upon to der
ve'op. Ii would have been pecu-
liarly unfortunate il our patron
age had been drawn exclusively
from our wealthier and fashionable
c., clee. ]; would have been equally y
unfoJ tuLale il it had come excius-
lively from classes too poor to 60
elsewhere. The statistics which
have collected, which appear fur
ther on in his report, show that
our students represent socially, f.
naucially and eductionally, every
respectable class of North Caroo
linian people. They come ftom
al sections of the State,and among
them are graduates OF our leading
Institutions for girls; graduates
from the graded schools; those who
have been prepared by their local
private acadeuies;aud others whose
only educational opportunities have
been those offered by the public
schools of the State. Some have
come because they could not af .
ford to 60 elsewhere. O.hefs are
here because they want to prepare
for teaching or industrial pnrs
suits and prefer an institution
whose main purpose le to give such
pre- eharation and where the general
surroundings are in harmony with
neif purposes"
The number of students now in
Attendance Is more than two huns

have applied tor admission. bu'
cou d NOT be admitted because ol
the lack Of room to board them in
the domitories. The institution
oegan its work in October and the

and deserves to be; We endorse
what Governor Holt says SO wei
IN his message:
| 81 would recommend that the
General Assembly deal liberallJ
with their Normal and Industria
! School. Every dollar invested il
euch an Institution as it gives
promise of becoming will repay the
State ten told. Moreover, there is
no reason why The State should dea
less generously with it's daughter'
han 1t does with its sons. This i.
rue at ali times, but under present
conditions, when the State has two
institutions for men OF the white
race, and si. foE both sexes Of th,
coiored race. when the leading re-
llgious der ominations have endow
ed colleges for men. but none fol
