circulated nearly twenty-five hundred

pledge 10 become teachers for a. least
two years after leaving The college ami
the average student teaches a much
longer time 1han>that.
That the states investment i'm the
training OF its young women 10 become
teachers is j good Investment IS con
elusive from the single fact that the
people Of the State have employcd them
10 teach in such large numbers that they
have touched The lives OF leo. GOO chill

lcge With all its grounds. buildings ana
equipment is the property !. the people
Of North Carolina, and while the state
has not invested in its plant all that
many Of US who had great faith in its
possibilities for usefulness desired. yet
it has in many ways shown a very cordial
appreciation of the college. and an eX-
ccedingly generous spirit towards those
who have worked for its development. |
wish that the State could sec its way
clear to show greater liberality for the
immediate enlargement and development
of the institution. Women ought not
to be turned away from its doors for
lack Of living room. In North Carolina
and beyond the borders of the State it
is recognized as q great educational
force. Not only has the State secured
by it the service of many trained teach
ers, but the present property is worth
much more han the State has invested
in TIE plant and equipment Of the coll
lege.
Il think it is not out of place to call
attention TO the private donations to
the college property during the past ten
years.

In view of the fact that the State
Board of Examiners of Public I%nstitu-
tons. in its report to the governor a
month ago, presented strongly the urgent
need Of the college for additional dormi-
tory facilities, a cold storage and cen
trail heating plant, the institution Will
gebeforc the Legislature with the strong
est kind Of official support, and its friends
and bencficiaries from every nook and
corner of the State confidently believe
that the appeal viii not be III vain.
