Endorsement by Trustees.

Having had Prof. Crawford employed as president of our college for the past scholastic year. and having enjoyed ann pie opportunities for knowing the char acuer and quality of the work done there, we take great pleasure in certify ing to it's superior merit and excellence. The groundwork of our system, we can now say has been established within the lines of the most approved experience, and as a result it has been enabled to take on such new and desirable addi tions as to make it symmetrical in all It's parts. To our president we are chiefly indebted fer thest results. Go where we will the evidences of his supervision, direction and executive ability are ap- parent, and thus it is that we have ob- tained degree of harmony between teacher, pupil and patron highly satis- factory His administration combines the conservatism of experience and the energy of youth. His system has no weak parts The teachers ara in happy sympathy with the president, inspired with fervor the glow of which is felt by nearly every pupil. Believing that nothing will conduce more to the pros psrity of a community than an educated citizenship, we have recently organized our school on a new basis, making the tuition free, except an incidental fee of two dollars per year for each pupil. This, joined to the location of the col lege in our beautiful, thriving little town, with it's noble citizenship and healthy climate, i'ts pure water and good morals, makes Roanoke Normal College a most desirable ard attractive school and 1t is with pleasure that we recommend it to the consideration and patronage of any who may be looking for school in which to educate their sons and daugh- ters.

 trustees, stockholders and citizens meeting was called to assemble at the Baptist church on August 29, 1892. At this meeting much enthusiasm prevailed and Col. Hand1ey and a great many oth- CTS doubled their subscriptions, which swelled the subscription greatly. Be- fore this meeting adjourned another meeting of the citizens was called at the Baptist church on Sept. 1, 1892. At this meeting we succeeded in raising our sub scription to $10,0O0, making the subscrip- tion binding, having passed the $10,000 mark At ths meeting w. A. Handley, B. c. Jones, F. P. Randle, A. J. Driver and A. M. Awbrey were elected as the building committee. They soon noted up the subscriptions and proceeded to let out the contract for the rebuilding of Roanoke Normal College. Mir. N. B. McPherson was the contractor and he soon went to work.
 Col Handley is a man of noble char acter but we have taken only that side devoted to the upbuilding of the educa- tional interests of this county and vii cinity, as we regard it as the cap Sheaf crowning a broad and useful life. This story of part of his life is the more ind teresting at this time because largely has been made absolutely free to all pu- pills This is a great work, the outcome of a high and noble ambition, and will be monument to his memory more en- during than brass, more lasting than marble or stone.

largely the result of the generosity and public enterprise of Col w. A. Handley, united with an earnest desire on the part of the citizens of Roanoke and vicinity to have in their midst such an institu- ton of learning as would afford to their children the highest educational advantages, convinced as they were that a community so famed for it's intellectu- al and cultivated society, for its locality and environments. might be made one of the best institutions of the state Ac- cordingly, in 1874, the first college build ing was erected, and the school organ- ized in 1875, with pr. J. P. Shaffer as president. The school continued to flourish until 1891, when the building was consumed by fire. This misfortune, coming in time of financial pressure, seemed about to terminate the brilliant career of usefulness and prosperity of the school, when Col. Handley again, with his customary magnanimity and generosity, came forward and by lih- eral donation inspired the entire bonn munity with renewed energy and conAr dence. The result is that College fnn is now crowned with a building which is a. specimen of handsome modern archi- lecture, constructed of the most sub- stantial material-stone and brick-cov- cred with slate, and is externally fire proof Internally 1t is beautifully finish ed. and furnished with all the modern

The object is not simply to make pictures, but to cultivate the per- spective faculties, thus rendering the pu- pil capable of appreciatfng for her own pleasure and profit much of the good and beautiful which would otherwise be unperceived.

Tn continuing the presidency of the Roanoke Normal college we do so with the determination of fully sustaining stitution for high curriculum and thor ough work, and we shall endeavor to promote the interests of the pupils en- trusted to our care. A full corps of the best teachers is selected with reference to broad culture, technical skill and so- cial excellence; teachers whose precept and example will not only strengthen intellectual power, but train in morals ship develops in pupils fondness for learning and for all things refining. Knowledge is power." It may be a power for evil as well as for good. The importance of giving this power the right tendency and direction cannot be overestimated. Upon no subject con- nected with our school work will great CT emphasis be placed than that of mor- al training. The best possible guarantee of effective moral influence is the char actef of the teachers. Dry lectures on ethics may not prove effective, but the thoughtful teacher will find opportuni- ties daily in connection with the lessons, or the simple occurrences of school Mfe, for inculcating right ideas of truth, honesty, purity, kindness, respect, rev. erence and all the practical virtues. All these ideas should be implanted in the child's heart, that they may grow into his very life and being.
 We shall attempt to develop in the student the habit of independent judg- ment-the habit of investigating state- ments and principles for themselves. and thus, for themselves discovering their truth or falsity. therspY fitting
