Of those who steadfastly attended it's
sessions the past twenty-six days have
gotten out of it all the benefits posi-
bic and returned to their homes to di-
gest what they have received. The
session closed today marks a new era
in institute work. There was an en-
rollment during the four weeks term
OF l33 pupils and teachers, about 80
per cent of these being bright, pretty
females. From the opening session
there has been, l am told and I am
prepared TO accept the statement as
true, for this was my immediate i'm
preston, a determination manifest on
the part of every one present to enter
into the work before them with a zeal
that ever results in knowledge gained.

work, the afternoons to recreation, the
evenings to lectures. A splendid facul-

these having delivered addresses during
the term: DIR. r. T. Vann, of Raleigh;

Raleigh. Congressman Small took as
his theme, Universal Education and
said while he did not come as a teacher
to teach, he did come in the interest
of 100000 children that needed to be
taught, claiming that the child is en-
titled to protection against ignorance
as much as is the citizen to protection
in life and property. and, that, if
child is allowed to grow up in ignorance,
somebody had failed to do his duty. He
proudly referred to the fact that the

flourishing cities, while Boston was
little trading center.
