Prof, Duckett For Superintendent
(Lumberton Argus.)

The editor of the Argus, as principal
of Robson Institute, where both gem
tIemen taught several years. wishes To
be among the first to nominate Prof.
John Duckett as successor to the la
mfnted Toon.
Prof Duckett is peculiarly well quail
fled for the position. Many years ago
he was superintendent of public instruc-
tion in Wake county where he made a
marked success of the office; while his
experience as chief clerk under Col.
Toon, together with the extraordinary
opportunity he has had during Col.
icons illness TO qualify for the duties
Of the office. makes his appointment es-
pecially appropriate. Prof. buckets
appointment is the natural sequence.
and we shall be disappointed if our Coy
crnor fails TO recognize the fact.

GEN. TOoN's SUCCESSOR.

The most important office in North
Carolina, next to that of Governor, at
this iuncture is the office of State Super
intendent of Schools it would be even
more important than the office of Chief
Executive if that office was not now
held by gentleman everywhere known
as 1.-The Educational Governor Every
child in the State, as well as every good
citizen, has personal interest in the APP
pointment of the successor OF General
Toon. That gentleman more than met
public expectation. His successor must
be able TO carry on the work mapped
out at the Educational Conference last
week with intelligent enthusiasm. Much
more depends upon the selection of the
State Superintendent than upon the Sc
lection of the next United States Sena-
tor. In this tide in the educational af-
fairs OF the State 1t is a more important
position.
The Governor will have a duty that
will tax his highest wisdom to select
from among the large number of fit men
who will be presented for the vacancy.
The sentiment of the State would indi-
cate that nc man should be named who
does not possess two essentials:
/. Ability to speak with convincing
power and eloquence to the people OF all
parts of the State, particularly in the
rural districts. He should have the fires
of devotion to the education of all the
people burning in his heart. and carry
the enthusiasm and earnestness TO the
people. AT other times capable official
fitted for detail duty alone. would suffice
Now an eloquent evangel of education.
as well as wise manager, is required.
. Ability to secure the earnest CO.
operation OF all the educational forces of
the State, 10 the end that a united and
harmonious successful educational CAM
raign for local tax shall be carried on in
every part of the State. While. with the
Governor. the Superintendent must lead
in the educational campaign, he must
know that many agencies must be en-
ployed in this great crusade. He must
have the wisdom to discard differences
on uon-essentials and weld all the edu-
Gators and school men into one united
army. all firing at the common enemy.
The mar who possesses these two
qualifications in the highest measure Is
the man who should be named. II he
possesses these qualities in an eminent
degree lie will have all the other quail
fcations necessary
