boro, the following letter written by
a distinguished and successful educator
is so full of the right kind Of senti ment
that we think proper to republish it..
There is no selfishness in what Prof.
Graham writes, but a broad gagged,
liberal minded progressive spirit is
manifest, and sincere desire to see
full and simple justice done the females
is the motive that prompts his action.
Writing to the State Chronicle he says ::
RIDGEwAY, N. c., Feb. 22.-The
Legislature will act wisely and justly
if it appropriates the full amount asked
for the Normal and Industrial College.
Liberal provision has been made for
the higher education Of our young men,
both by the state and the various re-
1igious denominations. Why should
not the young women have an equal
chance with their brothers? The North
Carolina boy when he enters the
Freshman class of our male colleges is
as we'll advanced in the languages and
mathematics as his sister is when she
graduates at our best female colleges.
This is not the fault of the presidents
of our female colleges. They do the
best they can with the means at their
command.
versity for her daughters, to be patron
lied by all classes of her citizens.
Make the Normal and Industrial Col
lege such an institution, and our edu-
cational interests are safe. Educate
the mothers and they will educate their
sons. Probably two thirds of the
teachers in North Carolina to-day are
women.
Ought not the opportunity to fit them
selves for their work, at reasonable
cost, be given them?
Extend, but never abridge the cur
riculum Of or new college. We need
higher education for our women than
they now can obtain in North Caro-
lima. Our female colleges are doing
good work, and North Carolina is for
tunate in having such able men in
charge of them, but oh! that all men
of all creeds and classes in our good old
mother State would write in establish
ing North Carolina University for
women.
No more suspicious time for its
establishment will ever occur. Our
taxes are not high, much lower than
in most states. Our people prefer
education to lower taxes.
