PLANS FOR NEXT YEAR
Resolutions Adopted by the s--Speeches
Yesterday Morning by Supt. Moses,
Mr.. Parker, Profs. Burkett
and Hill.

School yesterday morning were very i'm
pressive and very encouraging for the
success of next years school, for it seems
assured that this year was but the be-
ginning OF an established, permanent sum-
mer school at the A. and M. College.
Some 100 teachers were present yes
terday morning in the Pullen building at
ten o'clock, the hour set for the final
words to be spoken.
First Superintendent E. p. Moses, OF
the Raleigh Graded Schools, Dean of the
Literary Department of the Summer
School, made a short address that was of
very great interest.
Following Superintendent Moses Mr.. c.
j. Parker, the Secretary and Treasurer,
addressed the teachers, bringing out the
fact that the school was started without
money, in fact with nothing but the faith
of its promoters. It's success had been
wonderful, bringing out the largest num-
Der of teachers ever congregated at d
summer school in North Carolina. The
cooperation of the people, he said, was
now assured. and hereafter they would
have an even more successful school than
this one.
Next Prof. c. w Burkett, Dean of the
Industrial Department, spoke just few
words of farewell to the teachers.
Prof. D. II. Hill, of the A. and M. Col
lege, was the last speaker. He returned
thanks to the pupils and teachers for the
hearty loyalty with which they had up
held the management of the school, for
the enthusiasm with which they had tax
en- up and carried on their work, and for
the beautiful spirit they had shown in all
their dealings with one another and with
the faculty, and to the members of the
faculty for their efficiency and zeal and
entire singleness of aim in carrying on
their work.
Then Prof. Hill spoke of the plans for
next year. They hoped, he said, that
Raleigh might be the intellectual as well
as the political capital of North Carolina.
and that they might build up summer
school here that would be in every way d
source of pride to the city and the whole
State, q school that would stand for hon
est and faithful work and that would be
source of inspiration to every rural an6
city school in North Carolina, and that
one of the peculiar missions of this schoo
might be an effort to help particularly
the rural schools of the State.
After the addresses were over, the teach
ers unanimously adopted the following
resolutions:
Resolved Cd That the Agricultural ant
| Mechanical College with its breezy rooms
beautiful campus, and attractive surround
| ings is~an ideal place for Summer
School.
"(2) That the school here has been al

80 That our hearty thanks are ex
