A Card From Mr.. Martin.

10 the Editor For the benefit and in
formation OF ex-Superintendent Mebane
! WISH 70 say that the Board OF Educa-
tIoh Tor ladkin county. at the meeting
IN April last. decided 10 redistTict every
township in the county, except two. one
q which has only one white and one
coIored school, and the other has only
hVe schools. all white, averaging moro
than one hundred children 10 the school.
Inc County Superintendent. with one
member of the board, will, before the
July meeting OF the board. canvass the
various townships for the purpose OF es-
tablishing district boundaries and locat-
ing school house sites and consolidating
districts, making larger and fewer dis
trlcts in every instance.
| VIII add further that this work OF
consolidating. or abolishing. the small
districts was really begun last fall.
he County superintendent has at
every school visited, and at every ap-
polntment, emphasized the Importance
ana necessity of larger, fewer and better
schools. The last result naturally fol-
lowing the first two.
! confess that We have undertaken a
hard and difficult problem, though one
that must be solved. first or last. bv.
- 'H'I louuts III tIt state.
| VIII say for the encouragement Of
other boards that may be contemplating
dong the same kind OF work that the
1adkin board has undertaken that last
fall When we first began talking the
matter and did really begin the work
We had such 4 storm of opposition that
lt would seem unsafe for the County SUI
peflntendcnt and the members of the
board to travel in the county alone un-
taken seriously. ! only want. if | can.
70 picture the very strong opposition
that rises up when talk Of changing the
location of the free school house is
known in the neighborhood.
The opposition at this time. however.
IS not near SO strong. In fact. talking
and reasoning with headed, reas-
enable men convinces them of the pro-
prlety and wisdom Of the plan Of having
larger schools We will necessarily have
TO diminish the number of schools.
We Will need money. of course. to
build houses, but we are acting under
the maxim Providence helps those who
help themselves"

Scholarships for the Needy.
President Dudley's Efforts Commendable
And Praiseworthy.
(GraanShnrn pooopJ
County Superintendent of Yadk
4~adkinyille, n. G. May 10.

i1u OIluy.
Greensboro Record.)
The efforts being made by President
Dudley, of the A. and M. College. in this
city, to procure scholarships for the
needy and deserving young men of his
race, who cannot without the pecuniary
aid Of others acquire an education. is
highly commendable and praiseworthy.
In his circular appeal to the friends of
his race, he frankly states I'VE wish only
TO help those who are doing all they can
to help themselves;' in other words, he
does not desire to establish scholarships
for the INDECENT poor. but for those who
are struggling to fit themselves for some
useful occupation in life.
He most aptly states that the time has
come in the conditions and environments
confronting his race, when they should
no longer look to Raleigh, to Washing
ton, OF exclusively to their white friends
for aid. but to themselves for the educa-
ton OF the young, and the Improvement
OF their condition., and hopes that his
own people Will be inspired by the ex-
ample of the white race in providing
scholarships for their deserving young
men, to emulate them. and assist him to
educate With the aid of the college those
most deserving of help. This line Of
action is in keeping with the broad and
progressive spirit which characterizes
President Dudley as a friend of educa-
ton. No longer ago than last week, he
subscribed out of his own pocket fifty
dollars to aid in the establishment of
schools in Guilford county, and We feel
sure that not only his own race, but his
white friends as well, Will render him
substantial encouragement in his laud-
able endeayor to not only better the con-
dltlon of his own race, but contribute
thereby a higher order Of citizenship
among them, of which both they and the
State would be the beneficiaries.
There is no doubt about it, the future
welfare and prosperity of the colored
race lie in the direction Of useful and
practical education and training in the
mechanic and industrial arts, and for
this the \. and NJ. College is a race
necessity.
