will certainly enter upon these impor-
tant duties on or about the first of May
next. Ibid. March Is. 1910.
The great educational and ministerial
work of DR.. McPheeters is too well
known, from repeated recital, to require
treatment in this sketch. DR.. McPhee-
ters resigned as principal of the Academy
in 1926; and as pastor of the Presby-
terrain church in 1880 But he ably ad-
ministered an academy of his own until
the very year of his death, 1912. The last
announcement probably, of the opening
of his school is found in the Raleigh
Register of January I. 1871.
After the resignation of DIR. McPhee-
tiers in 1926, the Raleigh Academy began
to feel the effect of competition spring
ing up in many schools all over the city
The decade of the forties was especially
fruitful of academies. In the Star OF
January 80 1910, is an advertisement aE-
nouncing that Mr.. w. G. Catlin will open
a school lin the old academy which he
has taken and comfortably fitted up"
Messrs. Gray and Dorratt announce the
opening of the North Carolina Classical.

the vicinity of the capitol, and on De-
cember 8 of the same year. Silas Bige-
low announces the opening of a school
for young men lin the building occupied
the present year by Mr.. Hicks '-wher
ever that may have been. In the Regis
ter of December 10, 1871, appears the
following: '"The sale of the Episcopal
school property in this vicinity, took
place agreeably to the advertisement
Monday, the 9Th inst. There being no
other bid for it, all old and tried friend
of the church, desiring of entering the

jects as near as possible to the original
design, came forward and took the prop

churchs original purchase money, the

Rev. Albert Smedes. a successful rector
of a female school in the city of New
York. Mr.. Smedes seems to have ar
rived in the city and opened his school
after Easter" 1872
About the same time, the old Raleigh
Academy was preparing to start forth
upon a new and long career of useful
ness, for, on December 8. 1912, announce
ment was made that j. NJ. Lovejoy would
open a school for males, having asso-
ciated with himself Mr.. Gray Mr.. Love-
joys work is well and generally known
but it remains for some writer yet to
gather up and give to the public it's gem

of Raleigh in speaking from memory of

the great foundations of the work were
laid by the citizens of Raleigh, under
authority Of the Legislature in 1901

century of this sketch. For more than
twenty-four years the Raleigh Academy
has been under the management of Mr..
Hugh Morson. associated for many years
with Capt benson. The labors
OF these gentlemen, and those
of Mr. Fray have earned for
them the warmest affection of their
pupils and the highest esteem, not only
of their patrons, but of all their fellow
citizens. 1t will be the verdict of his
tory that he who now represents th;R
part of the educational work of the city
which more than any other can lay claim
to being the true successor of the old
Raleigh Academy, will stand -four

ers who have gone before.

Gales was appointed secretary pro TEN.
1t was then resolved to open a SUBJ
scription to erect a suitable building
for the academy. copy of the paper
setting forth this action was to be sent
to each of the trustees and all were
urged to obtain signatures to the sub
scription. The trustees then adjourned

The effort thus continued must have
met with encouraging success, for at this

in December. 1901. or very early in 1902;
