Newport News Press: The work of
the Constitutional Convention, so far as
it concerns the suffrage clause of the

The Question.

Of whether you like the new Constitution
or whether you indorse the method by
which it was put in effect. The question
is, Do you ever want to vote again? Then
you must register, and It is easier to do
that now than it will be at some future
time.

funds for an adequate building. A large
frame building was erected on Ann
street with accommodations for over 800
students, and the school numbered 225
during 1901, showing that the interest
had increased with the opportunity. The
present membership is 245, the largest
ever enrolled in the county.
The school is thoroughly organized
and offers a course covering twelve
years, including four departments: Kin
dergarten, two years; primary, four
years; grammar, four years and high
school, two years. The school offers
thorough instruction in instrumental
music. Tuition for academic instruction
is from $1.00 to $500 and for music $500
a month.
The school has about 100 scholarships
covering $l.00 per month"; which are sup

opportunity is given every one who really
wants to acquire an education. 1t is

campaign for the voting of special tax
for the establishment of the schools.
This movement was met by bitter oppo-
sition on the part of those who were op-
posed to the levying of an extra tax, or
who were opposed TO public education
from principle. During the spring the
contest waX9d warm, both sides mar

The equipment includes improved types
of apparatus and supplies for expert
mentation and illustration of lectures.
The students are provided with modern
apparatus for observation and study.
Each department also has a museum,
containing collections illustrating the
courses in scientific subjects. The depart

ence, treatises and journals.
The Literary Societies offer facilities
for practice in debate, oratory, declama-
ton and essay writing Each society
owns a large well-furnished hail. the
walls of which are hung with oil pOr-
traits of illustrious members. The So
cieties have given direction and force TO
the enthusiasm for debating which has
prevailed in the past five years. There
are frequent intersociety contests, which
give valuable training in the art of debate
and prepare contestants for the inter
collegiate contests in which the University
has been most successful. The societies
for special culture, the Elisha Mitchell
Scientific Society, the Pathological So
ciety and the Shakespeare Club, offer
unusual facilities for original research
and study. The North Carolina Historical
Society is located at the University. Its
work is open to all students and gives
access to valuable historical material.
The University comprises the following
departments:
The Academic Department.
The Graduate School.

ter for its incorporation. Consequently
il IS the Oldest State University in the
Southern States and in the entire Union

pie OF The State through legislative APP
preY riations and requests OF lands,

funds for the support of instruction and
