saddles to the present, something to rep
resent every stage in our progress. BY
this means we could the better under
stand our degree of progress, since these
old utensils, and bits of our work-Give
us some conception of where we stand
in comparison with the development of
other countries. This is one way to
study art, the evolution of a Grecian
urn shows Greek progress of art, so it
might, be with US. Much original work
was done in North Carolina before the
Civil War
In this museum, there would be some
thing to represent the Regulation War;
something to represent the overthrow of
the stamps at Wilmington in 1865; some
thing from Mecklenburg; something
from the Revolutionary period; a Corn
wallis chair; something from the battle
field OF Gettysburg, where so many
North Carolinians fell. The Daughters
of the Confederacy the Colonial Danes,
the Daughters Of the Revolution would
uphold our hands. Mrs. Emma Moffitt,
Mrs. Castor Meares, Miss Haywood,
would all lend their helping hands glad
ly. and many another.
Something should be here from the
Cape Fear River from Fort Fisher,
where one of the great naval battles of
modern times was fought; some are
from old st. Phillips, from Orion, and
from Brunswick and Fort CasweH,
something from the Roanoke; something
from the Chowan: the Catawba and the
Yadkin, Some mineral, or stone from
every mountain peak in the State: Il

of the Hotel at Southern Pines; of Mr..

the best graded school buildings in the
State: of some of the churches.
There would also be something to show
of our natural resources, of the Ca
tawba grape, the lscuppernong, of the

Some old family relics could be kept

WORDS OF Mr.. PEABODY
After Thirty Years, the Trustees May
Distribute Principal.
IF TWo-THIRDs OF The BOARD AGREES
The Association q City School Superintendent S
Yesterday Adopted Resolution 10
Memorabilia The Board Of

Yesterday morning, at the closing ses-
sion of the convention of the City
School superintendent of North Caro-
lima, the following resolution was
adopted:
Resolved, That committee of three
be appointed to memorable the Peabody
Board of Trustees to expend, for addi-
tional normal instruction in the State.
at as early a period as may be practi-
cable, such portion of the fund as North
Carolina may seem to be entitled to re-
ceive under Mr.. Peabody's requests of
February Z, 1867, and June 49, 1869.
Resolved, That the committee be in
structed to convey to the board orr
thanks for the timely assistance which
has so often been given to the various
schools of the State and the help extend
ed to our normal schools and institutes,
and our gratitude to Hon. j. L. M. Curry,
for his inspiriting and invaluable services
to the cause of public education through
out the State and the South
The. significance of this resolution is
somewhat as follows
In George Peabodys letter creating
the trust, under date of Washington,
EcDFudTY 4 1901, dIIeI Tue
ment of the gift of one million dollars
to the trustees addressed, to be by them
and their successors used for the pro
motion and encouragement of education
in the more destitute portions of the
Southern and Southwestern States of the
Union, occurs the following paragraph:
Il furthermore give to you the power,
in case two-thirds the trustees shall at
any time, after the lapse of thirty years,
deem it expedient, to close this trust,
and, of the funds which at that time
shall be in the hands of yourselves and
your successors, to distribute not less
than two-thirds among such educational
OF literary institutions, or for such edu-
cational urposes, as they may determine,
in the States for whose benefit the in
come is now appointed TO be used. The
remainder may be distributed by the
trustees for educational or literary pur-
poses, wherever they may deem it ex-
pedient.'
Mr.. Peabody's letter of June 10Th,
1859, informing the trustees of his fur
Their gift of one million dollars in secur-
ities. contains this paragraph:
All the stocks / have given as above
arc to be held in trust by yourselves
and your successors. for the same pur-
poses and under the same conditions as
the funds given you by my original letter
creating your trust.
What does this mean?
Does it not seem to be that the trus-
tees can, by a tWo-thrds' vote, after the
lapse of thirty years, take tWo-thirds oil
the principal sum and distribute it
among such educational institutions in
the South as they may deem proper?
This would mean that, if two-t thirds
of the Peabory trustees chose, they
could give to the South, for her educa
tional needs, something like thirds
OF two million dollars, or $1t333, 333~

Historical Museum az State Normal,

To the Editor: Now that a new build
ing is about completed at the State
Normal and the College is having more
room for necessities of actual existence,
a broader life is felt and wider influ-
ence in the State. A hall should be, it
seems to me at least, devoted to North
Carolina history in a way that has not
been done elsewhere, not even at Raj
eigh in the State Museum.
A museum is a great means for teach
ing history if it is properly arranged.
The proper study of mankind is,--not
birds and four footed beasts,-but people
in their development of a State. The
history of the making of North Carolina
should be of vital interest to our people,
and it is. Nothing could so riveJ the
affections of the State to her college for
women as museum devoted to North
Carolina History. In comparison with
this, the museum of birds would not lie
anywhere. Such men as Col. Burgwyn,
Mr.. James Sprunt the AleXanders, the
Grahams, Judge Allen, Mr.. Fries, Major
Hale, the Faisons, Millers, Col Dortch

General ]. S. Carr. Major Bingham, and
others would take pride in SUCH a
cause. A relic or portrait from each
would make fine beginning.
This museum would contain portraits

Serious Loss 10 PortIand's

LOCATION MORE CENTRAL

PomLASn, Aug. 1.-THE Telegram
Says: II has leaked out IN army circles
that the headquarters oithe department
Of the Columbia are 10 be removed from
Vancouver to Seattle within few weeks.
General q. II. Randall, who is In com
mand o. the department, will therefore
leave tor the Puget Sound city, taking
his staff with him.
Citizens Of Seattle have been working
hard for some time to induce the war
department 10 make the change, and al.
though their movements were known to
the people o. this city, no great efforts
we're made by Portlsndsrs TO Offset them.
Now that the removal has become GER
iainty. the loss Of business consequent
will be deplored. but too late to preyent
IT.
II is understood that General Randall
does not favor the removal, as his quar-
,ers at Vancouver hare been roomy and
comfortable. and was In close touch with
every garrison in the department. His
Ataii officers also view the removal with
disiayor, though Of course they do not
express themselves in public. To be
taken from q pleasant, roomy garrison,
where each family has large residence
TO itself, add placed in crowded city
where few rooms must suffice. is con-
siderable Of come down." and the
officers realize it.
When General Randall goes he takes
with him the chief quartermaster, chief
commissary, chief Of ordinance, pay
master, signal officer and chief OF sur
gsons II is naturaithat the supplies OF
each Of these important branches OF the
department will be bought wherever the
chief officers reside, so the loss in busi-
ness to Portland may be quickly appre-
ciated.
The reasons given for the removal are
that Seattle is more central than Van
couyer, when Alaska is considered, and
that the head Of the department should
not reside at i garrison, Where the
head officer and the post commander
have different opinions in regard to the
conduct Of the post, there is likely to be
friction. General Randall Is the only
department commander in the United
States whose headquarters are at gar
rlson. The other commanding generals
all reside IN cites.
a sub.station for the purchase Of sup-
plies will be retained In Portland.
Colonel Jacobs, who had charge Of the
quartermaster's department here since
1899, win retire from the position within
a few weeks, but who his successor is to
be is not yet made known.
The removal OF the official headquar
ser from Vancouver will not interfere
with the extensive improvements to be
made at Vancouver where the govern
msnt is about to expend $4,000 in
buildings, The garrison will be one oi
the largest on the coast, and win be
known as regimental headquarters in
the future.
