DURHAMs EDUCATIONAL PRIVACY.

DURHAMS EDUCATIONAL PRIVACY.
Durham leads in educational facilities
as well as in manufacturing enterprises.
THE GRADED SCHOOL.
1t was one of the first towns in the
State to vote a tax for public schools
and it has invested more than one hun
dred thousand dollars in its public school
buildings and apparatus. It's citizens.
who are poor and those who are rich
alike have been leaders in the educa-
tional revival, not only establishing fine
public schools that are the life OF this
city set upon hill in educational
progress, but they have also help
ed generously in lettering the entire
public school progress of the State. It
is not too much to say that the public
schools of Durham are the equals of any
in the United States. In the matter OF
manual training they are far ahead of
any other public school system in the
State.
CONSERVATORY OF MUSIC.
Some, years ago the Conservatory of
Music was established here in a splendid
building. 1t has from the first had a.
large patronage an has advanced the
musical pleasures OF the music loving
city.
TRINITY COLLEGE.
This old and honored and useful insti-
tuition, established by the Methodist con-
ference of North Carolina, is located on
a magnificent campus in the western
section of the city. 1t has the best
equipment in every department, learn
ed faculty, and is located in modern and
comm OdiOuS buildings that are the per-
lection of the best architectural taste.
They are supplied with every modern
necessity, convenience and comfort.

Then other tobacco manufactures

dozen years, the biggest smoking tobacco
town in the whole country. And then it

: People.
The past year has been the greatest in
ago a member of the News and Observer
staff devoted several weeks to careful
preparation of the statistics of the
growth of the city during the past
twelve months, with the result demon
strating that within twelve months more
than million dollars have been invest
ed in manufacturing and in buildings:
Manufacturing enterprises .....$ 722,000

Church and school property. 126,6O0
New residences, fifty-six. ....... 28,300

The above table gives the reader some
idea of the fact how Durham is growing.
In giving the figures of the manufac-
turing enterprises, the buildings alone
are included. and not the additions in
the way of machinery. If these invest
ments were added, the money invested
in buildings, manufacturing establish
ments and additions to plants, aggregates
one and a quarter million dollars. The
entire assessed value of the real and
personal property in Durham, prior to
this addition, was $4,000 This shows
the magnitude of the increase.
This is a record not approached by
any city Of like size in the United States
or in the world. Not a dollar of this
money has gone in speculative land
values, but in the actual cost of the
land and brick and mortar.
Durham was once known as "the Bull
Town because the manufacture of the
Durham Bull Smoking Tobacco was the
