Public Schools who know no retreat; and
who shall beat only a charge-and beat
il, until all North::C h::Carolina's host shall be
marShalled to the rescue Of the Public

First We shall have a well-educated
citizenship. With the best and the most
competent men managing our Public
Schools we shall have a regular S-months
school in every county in North Carolina.
This will meet the demands of our people.
and soon the black cloud OF ignorance

Truth shall travel giving life as the morn

Secondly. w" shall have Il God-fearing

shall clap their hands. The babbling
