GEN. T. F. TOON'S LAST WORDS.

The State of North Carolina has had no
braver son in war or no more patriotic
son in peace than the late General T. T..
Toon, who was elected State Superin-
tendent of Public instruction in 1900 He
was deeply interested in the work Of his
high office and entered upon its rcsponsi
bic duties with as much ardor as would
characterize a young man. He was doing
a great work. when he died early in 1902,
from pneumonia contracted while speak
ing for public school taxation in the
counties of Beaufort and Hyde His last
speech was the greatest and it made
profound Impression upon all who heard
it. His death was deeply lamented by
all educators or friends of education, and
at the coming session OF the State Teach
ers' Assembly fitting tribute to his MEM
ory will be paid.
The last letter ever written by General
Toon was q letter of regret that his
illness prevented his attendance upon the

WHAT GOVERNOR AYCOCK SAYS. S.|PROF. MI
The Problem Which Concerns Us Now is the Educa-
ton of Children of the White Race.

There is a great educational awakening
in the State. All the schools are full;
the people are aroused as they have never
been before. More than per cent. in
crease of attendance on the part of the
white children is recorded for the year
1901 over that of 1900. This is far in ex-
cess of the increase of population. 1t is
extremely gratifying. ] would that
could say that a larger percentage of the
whites have attended than the negroes
but | cannot, for S@ per cent marks the
increase of the attendance of the negro
children. This fact ought to stimulate

that "'The people have the right to the

of the State to guard and maintain that
right" When it says people | take 1t
that it means all the people. He who

did they were superb. We cannot laugh
at them for their mistakes, for if we have
better manners than they, as John Ridd
said in Lorna Doone they taught them
to us at their own expense" Loving
them as we do revering their memories,
anxious to become worthy of them we
must go forward and in going forward we
shall become with all our natural re-
sources the foremost State in the Amer
lean Union, and this ought to be tae am
bition of us all. Let us theh cast aside
all matters of controversy and labor to-
gether for the upbuilding of all develop
ing State rich in history, noble in in
tention and capable in every direction
Let Us make great paintings, write great
songs, record great history, make great
inventions and do all those things which
make a State respected at home and
abroad Then shall come the day when
our strongest sons shall cease to leave
Us and other people seeing what we are
shall seek to become citizens of our Com
monwealth. That we can do these things
our history assures us; that we can fail
to do them is only made possible by those
who throw stumbling blocks in our way.
Let US not trip over the negro, but real
iZing that he is among us to stay and
assets of the State, let us make him what
he ought to be if we can, and if we can
not, do not let us fail to make of the
white man what he ought to be and what
he can be.

intelligence is dependent upon the educa-
few. If we could double the wages of
every man in the State for the coming
year we would not increase It's wealth a
dollar, but if we could double the eff
cheney of every man in the State and then
double the wages we would quadruple the
wealth of the State. We are the poorest
State in the American Union, simply be-
cause we are the most illterate. We
have done great things in the past but
we have done them along the lines upon
which we have been trained. If we want
to become the most effective State in the
Union we can only do so by training our
entire population. l take these state
ments to be fundamental and they are
not new with me. They have been declared
from time to time by all of my predeces-
sors. l have carefully examined the pub
to the present time and l find that / have
enunciated no new thought and have de-
clared no new principle in advocating uni
versal education. My vanity has been
lessened by my study of what, has been
said in the past but my devotion TO the
cause of universal education has been in
creased and i trust that | am among
those who are willing to sacrifice vanity
to the good of the people. The great
question of the hour is not whether we
shall educate the negro but whether We
shall educate the white people in North
Carolina The negro is going to be edu

some man could speak adequately the

count him an enemy of his race who les
sens the attendance upon the schools by
discussing in this hour the propriety of
educating the negro. The great and up
permost question among us is the educa-
tion of the whites. Indeed this is vital
and l do not doubt that our people real

stance where the question has been sub
mitted to them they have voted an addi

The Meeting Together of so Many Teachers Has
Ment Much Increasing the EduCa-

Mr.. Charles Lee Smith, in his inter-
esting sketch of the history of education
in Moth Carolina, says: I'm studying the
present dynamics of education in North
Carolina the editor has observed no one
force more powerful for good than the
North Carolina Teachers Assembly,
which in the opinion of the State Superin-
tendent of Public instruction. is doing
more to further the educational advance
ment of the State than all other agencies
combined There is a note of eXaggera
ton in this statement and yet to even
the most casual student it must appear
that the meeting together of so many
teachers from so many different institu-
tions and from so many different locali-
ties has meant much in increasing the
educational spirit and furthering right
ideals OF educational work.
The assembly, as organized at present,
held it's first meeting at Haywood Sui

THE PHILOSOPHY oF LrFE.

(GOvernor Ayccck at Saleni.)
No one can adequately measure
the Importance of performing well
and perfectly the duty of today to
the end that those who follow us
may do the largest work tomor-
row, and it is a mark of real
greatness that without knowing
what the results of what we do
shall be, we perform each day the
duty that lies Immediately before
us, and by this performance make
life easier and better For a future
time.

knowledge is power, but it is
power merely because it enables us
to do something and to do some-
thing enables us to be something,
and to be something is what con-
stitutes character, and this last is
the only thing which we can take
into the world to come. Education
IS not reading and writing alone;
it is reading and writing, but it is
something more, something better,
something higher, for we read ind
write not as an end, but as n
means, and if we take what we
know to be the end we shall never
do anything. All that there is
in the books, calculus, poetry, as
tronomy, science, whatever things
may be taught to us are valuable
only because they enable us to do
something worth being done and to
become something worth being.
There is significance in the motto
of our State, ITO be, rather than
to seem," and education is being,
not seeming; for what we are is
