particularly of the Goldsboro
school. Last year there were 81
boys and girls attending colleges
or high schools, sent from the
Goldsboro Graded School. He
said that city graded schools in
stead of injuring the first class
preparatory schools greatly aided
them. A dozen years ago he
could count upon the fingers of
one hand all the Goldsboro boys
and girls off at school and col
leges at any time given him. Mr..
Howell thought the criticisms of
the colleges made by the two
first speakers were well taken.
North Carolina ought to raise
their standards of admission and
adhere to them. He saw no diff
ference between admitting boys
to college unprepared to enter
the freshman class, and having
a preparatory department.
It was decided to postpone the
discussion of this question until
the following morning.
This evening State Superin-
tendent Scarborough delivered
an address in Assembly hall.

A refreshing breeze has blown

short time this morning.
