THE STATE AID QUESTION.
What Withdrawing the Appropriation
From the University Would do for
Public Schools.

What Withdrawing the Appropriation
From the University Would do for
Public Schools.
THE Caucasian.)
The Caucasian is not now taking up
this matter as party to the controversy
on either side. 1t is question. how
ever, which is up for settlement and sug-
gestions may be in order. AS to the prin-
ciple involved, we think the denomina-
tons have quite a strong case; but a
principle is worthless unless it can be
made effectually operative. 1t is mani
festly unjust for a State to provide high
education facilities that can be taken adj
vantage Of by only few Of its people,
and fail to provide facilities for, at least
the rudiments of education, which may
be taken advantage of by many. But
while this would be unjust, it would be
simply folly to take away what the few
have and at the same time provide nothing
for the many.
The twenty thousand dollars now an
nually given to the University does aid
perhaps as many as two hundred-or say
one hundred-young men to procure
higher education who would not other
wise get it. Certainly therefore some
good is done. Now take the twenty
thousand dollars from the University
and give it to the public school fund, and
what is the RESULT Let's see.
There are 1907 school districts in North
Carolina. If the twenty thousand dol
lars now given the University should be
divided among these districts, each one
would receive $3.50. This amount alone
would not result in any increase Of prac-
teal benefit in each district, and the gem
eral result would be this The opportunity
now given one or two hundred young
men for securing a higher education
would be taken away, and no practical
good would accrue to the 100000 children
Of school age in the various school dis
tricts.

WHEN THE cows COME HOME.

HE light on the mountain falls
aslant
The birds in the bush are still;
The cricket chirps in the pasture plant
When the cows come over the hill.
The swallows circle about the caves,
pale star mounts the sky;
The squirrels rustic the golden sheaves
When the cows are passing by.
over the valley the shadows creep,
Dark ming the green of the pine;
Down in the garden the honeybees sleep.
Missing the breath of the kline.
The tinkle of bells is sweet to the ear,
But sweeter the words of a song
That the singer is slowly bringing near
AS she follows the cows along.
She sings of a lover whose faith is fast
Wherever his footsteps roam;
And her cheek grows red when we meet
at last,
AS the cows are nearing home.
