+ The Red Springs High schoo
closed last Friday evening. The
,
! school during the last year has
been under the management of
Prof, D. R. McIver, Of Moore
county. This has been one. Of its
mo. +':rrospetous years, notwith.
! to,,a;. the fact that there are
e or tbr, 'e private schools in
W. 'oparatory depart
town am. pi, ". Prof Me-
ment in the scmina. ~ :
liver enrolled 83 pupils, 3rae
whom were from the country.
McIver has won many friends in,
Red Springs and every one here
recognizes his ability and fitness
for his work. He has labored hard
to build up his school and his
ACHIEVEMENTS are more than anvil
one expected. The Seminary for
the past year has had everybody's
influence and the High School, to
a great extent, has been neglected.
We are all glad to see the Seminary
IN fourishing condition but the
prosperity Of the Seminary rests
largely on having a first class
male school here. Families are
moving in to SEND their girls tot
the Seminary. What are they
going to do with the boys?l
More would come if boys hadI
equal advantages with the girls. 1
The trustees of the Seminaryi
should take this matter into con-
sideratien and prepare for the boys
and young men. If thelpeople in
this country would throw aside
their old fogy notions and liveyin
the nineteenth century instead ofI
travelling in, the. same road and.
harboring the same thoughts. their
fathers entertained theee centuries |
ago the Seminary would be a CO.
educational institution and that |
would mean an adjustment of mat
ters.
