SOME DREADFUL STATISTICS.

AS compulsory education is neither
not favored it. 1t has not been willing
to endorse a Measure that appeared
extremely ~violative of the rights of the
home and imported. But it does not
look pleasant When so many white
parents refuse to avail themselves Of
the facilities for educating their child
rem furnished free by the state. There
are in the school census in North Car
DINA 439,421 white and 900, 1913 negro
children of school age. Total 659, 629.
OF these, the school enrolment amount
ed to but 27O,447 whites, and 40, 005 ne
rollnent leaving 259,0 900 not enrolled.
A shameful business showing criminal
neglect. But mark. The actual attend
nee was d~isgraceful. Of those re-
ceiving the rudiments of education
there were but 142,413 white or less
were but 65, 5O6 or but little more thar
o~ne-fourth of the total. That is to say
in all North Carolina out of a school
census of 659, 629 children of school age,
but 209, 91S attended regularly. The
average attendance was muchleSS tina
one-third of the whole. which is very
bad. There are in the state 5.422 white
schoo districts and 2,4SS colored dis
tricts. a total Of 1910. The receipts
from taxes for public schools and ex-
pended to them last year were $1,031,-
1874, as shown by the report of the
superintendent of public instruction.
What is to be done? What can be
done with such a condition? Why ex-
pend so much money for schools the
parents neither desire nor appreciate?
Must these bad things continue? Must
the illiterates continue to abound?
Where lies the remedy? We give it UP.
We know not where unless after all
hat car be said against a law of COM
pulSion the state is driven to enforce
by law regular attendance upon the
schools of all children of given ages.
And that would be compulsory educa-
tion," which the Messenger has
favored. But are not ignorance and
studied neglect of opportunities deserv-
ing of some thing mandatory when the
interests of society aud the repute of a
great state are involved? We give it
up.

II regret that the suggestion of a

whether 1 am called upon to give it
notice: but there are now questions of
the gravest Importance before the ad-

just consideration should not be pref
udiced in the public mind by even the
suspicion Of the thought of a third
term. In view, therefore, Of the reit-
Grafton Of the suggestion of it, / will
say now. once for all, expressing a long
settled conviction. that 1 not only am
not and will o be a candidate for a
third term, but would not accept a

to Secretary Long late yesterday after
