The progressive farmer. [volume] (Winston, N.C.) 1886-1904, 1903-03-03

1luIdLd, DuG even Jn6y are not DONG
it. They are not relying upon raw
material, but are creating finished
products and are recognizing indus
trial education as an essential there
to. We must do likewise. We must
educate boys and girls on the
farm and teach them to use machin-
cry. We must also train many of
them to become manufacturers.
There are three industries which
belong to us by nature. Our system
of education should look to their de-
velopment.
1. Woodworking - Our forests
are abundant and woods varied. Our
climate is such that a new forest
will grow up in a single generation.
With proper care our woods will last
forever and suffice to supply the
world with certain kinds of valuable
furniture and tools. Formerly we
used them all for fire wood. After
a while we sawed them into rude
lumber, or shipped the logs out of
the State. Recently we have begun
to manufacture. Factories at High
Point are now turning five dollars
worth of oak timber into eighty dol
lars worth of furniture. Greater
skill and knowledge will double and
quadruple its value. General indus
trial education will produce in North
Carolina fifty towns like High Point,
sending furniture over the world and
bringing into the State more money
than all our farms.
2. The Textile Industry.-Under
stress of poverty we have made much
progress in this line. Cotton mills
have trebled the value of our cotton
crop. With finer skill and better
training they will multiply it by so.
The textile industry might employ
at three or four dollars a day, as de-
signers and skilled needle women, at
their own homes hundreds, even
thousands, of women, who are now
begging for employment at ten, ff-
teen, or twenty dollars a month, and
are failing to find it.
3. Clay.-Our North Carolina
clays are excellent and abundant. I
have seen Kaolin from Jackson
County made into tea cups and sau-
GERS in German factories, not infe-
rior to any on earth. The quality of
the clay cannot be surpassed. But
we have not the skill to work it. 1t
is being shipped daily out of the
State, by thousands of car loads, to
New Jersey, New York, and even
Germany. Would these countries
think of sending us their clay, or
their lumber, or their raw material
of any sort to be manufactured by
us into fine products? But why not?
We have not the skill. We don't
know how. We buy skill from 9th
ers, and sell them muscle. Our labor
commands the smallest wages, and
our products the lowest prices.
Our system of education is largely
responsible for this state of things.
From whatever point of view we ex-
anime it, it is deficient. 1t does not
fit our youth even for the rude work
that they will have to do, much less
for the skilled labor that they ought
to do. IT is not in harmony with the

TALKS ON INDUSTRIAL EDU-
CATION.
VII.-The Cost of Ignorance.

our capital city are paved with brick
bauIed into North Carolina from
other States. We are buying dirt
because we have not the skill and
knowl lge to press, burn, and glaze
#, A century or more ago we got
orr fine brick from England. We
have now reached the point of get
ting them from Pennsylvania or
Ohio. A few years ago an English
man was buying thousands of white
oak trees in central North Carolina
and shipping their trunks to Liver
pool. Other trees unbought were. de-
caving in the woods. We scarcely
think of producing anything except
raw material.
For lack of industrial education
and training we have few skilled in
dustrics. We take it for granted
that we can't make things and that
other people can. Somehow or other
we expect to learn how some day
without employing the means used
by other people who have learned
how. Other States have learned, and
we must follow their example. Mas
~sachusetts makes more money from
cotton than the whole South. It
sells skill and knowledge instead of
raw material. 1t secures skill and
knowledge by technical education.
Massachusetts, has two textile
schools, each larger and better equip
ped than the North Carolina Col
lege Of Agriculture and Mechanic
Arts. 1t has at least lively techno-
logical and industrial colleges and
schools, better equipped than our one;
and the manual training departments
Of Its city high schools are also bet
ter equipped than our single college.
Our ignorance is so great that we
scarcely believe technical and indus
trial education to be a necessity. We
take 1t for granted hat a graduate
OF a literary college or of the Univer-
slty Is well equipped for any indus
trial career. But his industrial
training has yet to be obtained, and
years viii be required for its compile
uon. Industrial and technical edu-
cation does not differ from literary,
scientific, or mathematical in the
'ine II process required. 1t cannot
Ne picked up in a year or two, at lei
sure or at pleasure. 1t should begin
at the very beginning of education
ana extend to the very end. Our sys-
tenn of schools, instead of leading
away from labor, should stimulate to
II and prepare for it.
Industrial and technical educa-
non, II desirable for other States, is
'"r North Carolina an absolute ne
'es>itE. Our soil is too poor to COM
r''' except under the most intelli-
gent system of intensified and diver
S'"eo farming. We must pursue
"SLI'"Iturc with skill, intelligence
anu technical knowledge. We can
"o' i've upon rude, ignorant and un-
framed labor. Nor can we live bv
''O"clhg only raw materials. Louis

PLAN FOR UauRo6 UNION.
Methodist Protestant, United Breth-
rem and Congregationalists Agree
Upon a Basis of Union.

The joint committee representing the
Congregational Methodist Protestant and
United Brethren Churches, after an all
day session at Pittsburg, Pa, on July |,
came to an agreement on a platform for
the union of the three denominations.
The greater part of the day was taken
up in considering the report of the sub
committe of FIVE members of each de-
nomination, which met in Washington a
few weeks previous to form basis of union.
This report embraced number OF rec
concentrations and letter to the churches.
1t was amended to some extent and finally
adopted. An address to the governing
bodies of the three churches was also
adopted. and both will be sent out at once
for consideration.
The recommendations of the sub-com-
mittee, as amended and adopted, are:
First-That the basis of representation
in the General Council shall be one tor
every 5000 members.
Second-The power of the General
Council shall be advisory, and any rec
ommendation it may make shall be referred
to the constituent bodies of the three de-
nominations for approval.
Third-That committteee OF three
from each of the general bodies represented
shall be authorized to arrange for the time
and place of meeting of the first General
Council.
Fourth-That at the first session of the
General Council temporary organization
shall be effected BY the election Of n
chairman and secretary. and that the
Council itself shall determine the officers it
may need and the manner Of permanent
organization it may prefer.
Ffth-The purpose ofthe General Coun
ell shall be-
(a) To present to the world some re
alization of that unity of believers which,
in accordance with the prayer Of our Lord,
seems so desirable among Christian
churches y
Cb) To promote better knowledge aud
a closer fellowship among the Christian
bodies thus uniting.
Cc) To secure as far a. possible the
unifcation of kindred organizations now
existing in the different bodies.
Cd To consider methods BY which in the
State, annual and district conferences the
bodies may be brought into eo-ordiusted
activity and organic unity,
(e) To prevent the unnecessary multi
plica:ion of churches aud 10 unite weak
churches Of the same neighborhood when
ever practicable.
81 To unite aud encourage the aft
liation with the Council of the Christian
bodies cherishing kindred faith and pur-
pose.
These bodies viii not meet until next
year, but in the meantime letter to the
churches viii be sent 10 every minister Of
the three denominations, that it may be
laid before the Congregations nd considered
deliberately.

Big Increase In Postal Deficit.

WASHINGTON, July Captain Castle.
the auditor of the treasury for the Post
Office Department, today made the official
estimate that the postal deficiency for the
fiscal year just closed will be 81, 6l7, 203.
The deficit for the previous fiscal year was
81, 96l, 10. This big increase is attrib-
uted to the enormous increase in expendi-
lures for the rural free delivery service
during the past year. The receipts of the
Postal Service for the year were S134, :
PCS, sos, and the expenditures S138, :
885, Sl2 The deficiency in the free de-
livery service is not yet definitely known
beyond the estimates made weeks ago to
the Postmaster General that it would be
1927, 600 by the close Of the fiscal year
The deficiency, however, may prove con
siderably larger than that figure

A Black Rain.

PARKERsBURG, w. VA, June Is
Barbour county had black rain yesterday
Cattle refused to drink the rainwater
White horses and cattle in the fields ap-
peared black after the storm. On Stew
art S run it is reported that the water was
SO black that many people thought the
Berryburg coal mine had been opened
through the hill and that the water was
pouring from it. This queer rain extended
all over the county, but was blacker in
some places than in others
There is much speculation as to the
cause of this phenomenon, which frighten-
ed many persons.
