The North Carolina College Of Az
rlculture and Mechanic Arts.
Attention is called to the advertise
ment of the North Carolina College of
Agriculture and Mechanic Arts. No
institution in the State has ever grown
more rapidly than this. fact which
every citizen who realizes and appre-
ciates its scope and influence has cause
to be proud of. Its success shows that
the times are ripe for its work, and
that our young men need and are seek
ing such an education as it offers. The
college is steadily advancing in equip
ment, in quality of work, and in num-
bers, having had 1872 students during
the past session.
Two Judges of our Supreme Court,
after careful examination, have selected
this as the best college for their sons.
The Cosmopolitan Magazine pro-
nounces it already one of the first in
situations of the South in excellence of
work and organization.
The Educational Editor Of the AMER
lean Trade Journal unreservedly rec
| Ommends this North Carolina college
as second to none.
Hon. VIM. LeDuc, for eight years
United States Commissioner of Agri-
culture, and other experts Of national
reputation, have inspected this college,
and declare its instruction to be equal
to any of the older colleges-and better
than most.
One-half of its first graduating class,
June, 1898, already provided with val
liable situations, showing that the gen.
eral academic education is equal to
any, while the technical training is not
merely good in books and theory, but
is also Thoroughly practical.
Next session will begin September
9th, 1894. For catalogue and further
information address the president Alex
