MORE EDUCATION NEEDED.
Marion Buffers paper attacks the me-
mortal which the BaptIsts have presented
TO the Legislature, asking the gradual
withdrawal Of all aid 10 cne university
and other higher Institutions. Butler Is Il
graduate Of the university and one Of it,
trustees lie says: 1.-THE request virtually
IS that the state withdraw entirely from
the field Of higher education. This seems
To us entirely impossible. North Carolina
cannot consent 10 be the only Southern
State without n system OF higher edu-
cation. We need more education. and not
less There is need OF both Church and
State 10 work for higher education. The
State institutions must not be destroyed,
for this Is TO stab the State In a vital
point" The Caucasian goes on to say:
AS 10 the threat which the Baptlsts
Through Rev. Or. c. Durham) make 10
take the educational issue into the cam
paign OF 1885. we have TO say that we
have no fear of the results OF any such
action" This IS direct hit at the anti
university movement.
There are now Isl students ut the Agri-
cultural and Mechanical College here.

pensions to widows whose husbands died
