These gifts. except the last mentioned,
were donations to the college direct
Three other donations have been of
peculiar help to the college in another
and policies that will tend to its develop
ment.
An illustration of the Democratic spirit
to which / refer can be found in the MS
tory of the selection of marshals.
The marshals are elected and recon-
mended to the president by the two
literary societies, and upon his recon-
mendation are appointed by the board
of directors to serve for one year..
half dozen of these marshals and two
of the chief marshals during the past
five years have been students who work
ed their way through the college by
washing dishes and caring for the dining
room. In fact l think that every corps
of marshals since the system of student
work in the dining room was inaugurated
has had one or more representatives of
that class of students. This is Just as
it should be. and l only mention it to
illustrate that the spirit of democracy
here is not theory but a practice.
THE REAL WORTH OF A COLLEGE.
The worth of a strong college to a stu
dent is not as some suppose the fact
that it gives the opportunity to a stu
dent to perform systematic literary
tasks assigned by teachers or that it
gives opportunity to work in laboratories
and libraries. These are necessary and
important but the greatest advantage a
student can have at college is in the
spiritual and mental atmosphere of the
place. 1t is intangible, but you can feel
it. 1t cannot be measured, but its effect
is everywhere manifest. The love of
truth for truths sake; the belief in
equality before the law; the belief in
fair play and the willingness to zap
plaud an honest victor in every contest
class room or in social life the feeling
of common responsibility; the habit of
tolerance towards those with whom one
does not entirely agree; the giving up
of small rights for the sake of greater
rights that are essential; the recognition
of authority and the dignified voluntary
submission to it even when the reason
for the policy adopted by the authority
is not apparent the spirit of overlook
ing the blunders of others and of help
ing those who are weak: the contempt
for idlers and shirkers; the love of ones
fellow workers, even though they be
ones rivals; patience in toll; self-re-
lance; faith in human progress; conf

trained at this college. That is nearly
one-te tenth of the total white population,
including men, women and children.
OF the first 1000 teachers sent into
the State by this college, more than 700
taught in the public schools. most OF
them in the country public schools. The
others have taught in colleges, public
and private high schools and seminaries.
OF the 1900 students from whom | have
reports only 907 were under pledge to
teach, but more than 900 have taught.
IT the college continues to grow it is
probable that it will always have q
thousand representatives regularly teach
ing in the State, thus reaching from 25.-
600 to 10000 children each year. Many
of our representatives have not come to
the institution intending to prepare to
teach. A large number have come to
take the work in the commercial de-
partment a considerable number for
domestic science work, and still larger
number probably for the general culture
resulting from pursuing the college
of study offered. OF the 1,500 who have
reported l find that more than so are
filling positions in business offices as
stenographers and bookkeepers, and II
as trained nurses. More than 80 per
cent. of the women teachers in the grad
dents of the State Normal and Industrial

large number of high schools and semi
naries and colleges.
Representatives of the college are
working in 20 of the States of the Union
and the District of Columbia. In nearly
every leading city from Greensboro to
Boston representatives of the State Nor
NAL and Industrial College can be found
working as teachers, students, steno-
graphers, bookkeepers or trained nurses.
THE SPIRIT OF DEMOCRACY.
Whatever success has attended the
State Normal and Industrial College
during the past ten years has been due
largely to the representative character
and spirit of the young women who have
been its students. They have come from
all of the ninety-seven counties. Among
them can be found the names of 100 or
more graduates of Leading female COL
leges and seminaries and a much larger
number of those who received their prev
ious training entirely in the public
schools of the rural districts. In fact,
we have had every type of respectable
women in North Carolina, from the one
who has enjoyed the privileges which
money and social position can give, to
the girl who was never on a railroad
train until she boarded it for Green's
hero to become a student in the States
college for women
AS is the case with al people. some
have not b-tn so Studious as they might
have been. but one-third of these young
women have remained in the college at
their own expense without help from
parents, and this one-third with those
who are naturally studious and ambi-
tious have formed a serious minded nu-
cleus, and have eXerted a strong influ-
ence in favor of industry and the steady
performance of duty. The wholesome
fact that the college has not depended
upon the revenue derived from any class
of its students has not only tended to
aid the college in its discipline, but has
also imbued all the students with the
spirit of democracy.
Nowhere have I known the spirit of
fair play to prevail to a greater degree
than among these young women. The
State is always the gamer when it's
teachers can be trained in an atmos-
phere of equality which recognizes the
worth of honest toll and faithful service
regardless of class distinctions of all
kinds. The distinguishing characteristic
of Americanism is its theory, and / am
glad to say it's usual practice, of giving
to every man, woman and child a fair
chance in life. No board of directors and

for public education for the past ten
years. They have been promoters of the
movement for rural school libraries and
have aided in the agitation for road i'm
provement locally and throughout the
State. Members of its faculty have serv-
ed on various committees which have
appeared before the State Legislature to
secure improvement in public school
laws. and have also served on the COM
mission for the selection of text books
for the State
The State Normal Magazine, a self
supporting publication, has been the work
of the faculty and students of this col
lege. The best educational journal ever
published in the South and now one of
the leading educational journals of the
country, was established and managed
by our professor of Pedagogy in connec-
ton with his work here. Several text
books that have received generous recog-
milton throughout the country have been
published by members of our faculty.
The Audubon Society and the Associa-
ton of North Carolina Women for the
Betterment of the Public School Houses
of the State are two State organizations
which have resulted from the work Of
the faculty and students /of the State
Normal and Industrial College.
This college has given some prestige
to North Cardinals name beyond the
borders of the State. and has had the
good fortune to interest influential people
in the educational development of the
State which it serves
STUDENTS.
For the past nine years the average
number of students in the college has
five. This number will not materially
change until more dormitory room shall
have been provided. The total matricu-
latiOn for the past ten years has been
about 1920, about $50 of whom have been
in the college this year. OF the 1,750
who have left the college 6S have died
leaving about LOO. One thousand and
five hundred of these have reported to
me during the past two months, and
more than sc 2-3 per cent. of them have
taught school. l have asked each stu
dent to give the number of pupils taught
by her. The aggregate number reported
is in round numbers-130. 600 1t is ma
tural to suppose that some of these chill
dren have been taught at different times
by two or more representatives of the
college. Deducting, therefore, 10000 for
children have been taught by students

Josephus Daniels established the .'Ade-
laide Worth Daniels Loan Fund of $500

funds, while small have aided in the edu-
cation of several students. In 1896 Gen
eral and Mrs. Julian S. Carr established
the Ida Carr Fellowship Fund" the
income of which is 5000 a year. This has
people to remain in the college each
year since that time, who could not
otherwise have done so. Much help along
this line has been provided by the two
literary societies, by the Alumnae Asso-
citation, and by the Woman's Education
Club.

BENEFACTORS.
This report would not be complete
without some reference to the special
benefactors of the institution
Within the past two years Mr.. George
Foster Peabody, of New York, donated
$1,000 to the State Normal and Indus
trial College; $4,000 of this is to be used
for developing the Peabody Park, named
for the great philanthropist, George
Peabody, who in 1867, gave to the public
schools of the South $4,000, 600.
The Students Building is a gift to the
college which means more than any sim
gle donation of money. 1t represents
the affection and loylty of it's daughters
and those whom they have been able to
interest in their Alma Mater The gift OF
81, 900 from Mr.. and Mrs. T. B. Bailey who
lost their only two children while stu
dents at this college, was made as a
subscription to the Students Building.
Mr.. and Mrs. Bailey have also estab-
hshed permanent scholarship to be
known as The Sarah and Evelyn Bailey
Scholarship"

Ten years ago was founded at Green's
boro the youngest of the States educa-
tional institutions, the State Normal and
Industrial College. The success of the
college was immediate and unparalleled
in the history of educational institutions
in North Carolina IN the ten years of
it's existence it has become as strongly
entrenched in the regard of the people
of North Carolina as if il had an hundred
years of history behind it. In this short
period it has enrolled $500 students,
every county in the State has been rep
resented in its matriculates, and ninety
per cent of its graduates have taught or
are now teaching in the schools of the
State. About every year witnesses an
addition to the building of this institu-
ton made necessary by it's increased at
tendance and it's growing usefulness.
Only about two months ago the corner
stone was laid for the Curry Building, a
Practice and Observation school, and a
new Alumni Building is to be erected
during the coming year.
This institution was the outcome of a
persistent demand by the teachers for a
school for the better education and pro-
fessional training of teachers and of an
the duty of the State to provide for it's
women educational facilities somewhat
commensurate with those that it had
been providing at the University for it's
men for more than a century. The in
stitution, as it's name indicates, is a COM
bination of a Normal College and an

The North Carolina State Normal and
Industrial College is a part of the public
school system, and it's chief mission is
to prepare people to work in and improve
that system. The authorities of the in
stitution recognize the fact that the chief
factors OF any civilization are it's homes
and it's schools; that homes are made by
women; and that it is in the home and
from the mother that the child receives
its earliest education and it's first lessons
in citizenship.
That the college is filling a long felt
need in the State. and that it is in a
measure fulfilling it's mission, is shown
by the fact that each year there have
been more applicants for admission than
the institution could accommodate-and
this in spite of ever increasing dormi-
tory facilities; that there is not a county
in the State that has not been repre-
scented at the college,; that over 80 per
cent. of all its graduates have taught
or are now teaching in the schools or
the State; that it's students have been
employed as teachers in almost every
county of the State; that every impor-
tant city school in North Carolina has
employed or is now employing its grad
yates; and that each year sees an in
creased demand for it's graduates as
teachers in the public and private schools

are offered to others.
The college has an annual State appro-
priation of $25, 900 and a special appro-
priation of $4,000 a year for four years
for improvements, etc. Its annual en-
rollment for the past nine years has been
between four and five hundred.
The institution has had a phenomenal
growth and has attracted attention and
Without eXaggeration it may be said to
be one of the best State institutions for
women in the South.
The college has ample grounds, includ-
ing a large park, numerous buildings, all
modern and we'll equipped, a good library
and proper laboratories. The faculty

f. REMAINS WERE IDENTIFIED.
Dead Man Found Near Dyersville Was
james Reese, of Belmond.


Dubuque, May Coroner Hoar re-
ceived q message Saturday from Bel
nrond, Iowa, requesting that he tele-
graph a description of the dead body
found near Dyersville a week h
coroner telegraphed the required infor-
nation and yesterday w men named
Reese came here and claimed the re-
mains. identification of the person was
made by means Of pieces of paper
which had been tori from two letters
addressed to the dead person. One of
the men who claimed the body is q son
of the deceased, and he had the letters
with him from which the pieces of pa
Fer, found on the person of the corpse,
had been torn. Further indentifcation
was also made from a Masonic pin and
pocket knife.
The remains, which were inferred
several days ago., will be disinterred
and shipped to Belmond for burial.
The dead man, whose name was
James Reese, was 65 years of age n
is survived by a family of several sons
and daughters. He was a contractor
and left home about ten days g in
quest of brick masons whom he wished
to engage to work for him on a building
that he was erecting at Belmond. His
relatives can give no reason for him
committing suicide. When the body was
found a bottle containing laudanum lay
beside the remains.
