How the Schools Were Helped

The educational legislation of the
General Assembly of 1903 was liberal
and progressive, and, at the same time,
in my opinion, wise and sufficiently
conservative. The intense interest mani
tested by this body in all measures af-
fccting the public schools and the
adoption by them of every reasonable
measure looking toward the upbuiIdng
of those schools recommended or pre-
scented by the Committees on Education
was very encouraging and was indica-
tive Of the fixed purpose of the people
of North Carolina to maintain and
strengthen their public schol system and
make it. as rapidly as the means of the

school law were adopted and several new

M. College Progress Will

TO the Editor: Your letter asking me
to write you in regard to legislation that
most affected the farmers of the state,
has been received. l take pleasure in
answering at once.
When we consider that eighty per cent.
of our people live on the farms, and that
about eighteen thousand young men are
settling on the farms every year and that

work-such as men of other professions
must have if they succccd-when VIC

necessary for me to discuss them here.
Another hopeful sign was the large

has been impossible as yet to get the
exact number OF these bills, but l am
confident that there wore between
twenty and thirty such bills, as mnay
perhaps as have been passed by all the
General Assemblies Of the past ten
years.
We were very fortunate in having such
excellent Committees on Education and
especially fortunate in the excellent

the record of these committees was
somewhat remarkable in not having a

SUMMARY OF LEGISLATION.
Hon. A. w. Graham, House Chair
man, Sums 1t Up.

The condensation. by the General As
scmbly of 1901. of all the laws relating to
the public schools rendered the enact
mcnt of a general school law unnecos-
sary But many amendments were made
that tend to simplify and render the
administration of the law more effective.
The educational spirit among the mem
bers was marked Some little difference
existed as to the distribution of the
fund appropriated to insure to each
school district a four months term as
required by the Constitution. But no
backward step was suggested by any one.
The members Of the Committee on Edu-
cation in each house were most diligent
and attentive to their duties, and so
thorough was their work. they were re-
warded by seeing every bill, recommended
by them, enacted into law, without any
substantial amendment; record Of
which they have right to be proud.
Below will be found a brief summary
of the most important work accomplish
ed for the cause of cducation
I. A continuation of the special ap-
preparation Of two hundred thousand
dollars or as much of it as shall prove
necessary for a four months school in
every public school district in North
Carolina There were a number of help
full amendments to this act that ought
to result in the prevention OF abuses, in
more economical administration of TIE
fund and in saving of some thousands
Of dollars to the State. The various
counties arc placed on a uniform basis
as to expenses, salaries, etc, in the dis
tributon of the fund
2. Amendments to the Public School
Law. % There were several helpful
amendments to the public school law.
Among these arc the following: 4 change
of time Of meeting Of the County Boards
of Education from the second Monday to
/ the first Monday for the convenience OF
citizens having business with the County
| Commissioners as well as the County
Board of Education. enabling them to
! transact their business with both on the
same day and for the convenience also
| Of the Boards of Education and the
! Boards OF County Commission.
| ~ A change in the apportiOnmcnt Of
| the school fund reasonably limiting the
per cent Of the fund that may be used
! for building school houses which was
| before unlimited, thus preventing the uso
| of so large an amount Of the fund for
| this purpose as to materially reduce the
apportioumcnt and unnecessarily shorten
| the public school term of the county also
| another change permitting one sixth Of
! tho fund to be set aside if necessary, ia
! be used in bringing the terms Of weak
districts in the county mp to four months
! before asking any aid from the State for
| this purpose. This ought to save some
| thousands OF dollars to the state and

RAILROAD LEGISLATION.
Senator Justice Sums up Some of
The Important Acts of the Gener-
al Assembly.

To the Editor: Your favor OF recent
date, requesting me to give you brief
summary of what might be called the
railroad legislation enacted by the Legs
Iaturc of 1903 is received
1t is difficult to cover the subject with
out being able to refer to the acts.
I was impressed with the number OF
railroad charters granted at the instance
of substantial business men who had in
view the building of railroads and not
a purpose to speculate upon the charters
granted
The policy of the Legislature was tc
encourage, as much as il could by legiti-
mate and proper methods, the building
Of railroads, but there We're no concea-
sions made that would give them an ad-
vantage over other citizens of the state
who do business with them, or which
sacrificed any of the rights and interests
Of the State.
The powers Of the Corporation Com
mission were extended in several re-
spccts. They were given power to re-
'quire the construction and use Of joint
depot by two or more roads entering a
town when the public convenience and
interest require it.
They were given authority to super
wise and review tho action of town au-
thorities limiting the speed Of railroad
trains. so as to prevent unnecessary i'll
reference with schedules Of trains.
There was an act passed giving them
the power to punish, by imposition of
penalties, failure to furnish ears and
ship freight cXpoditiously
There was legislation correcting the
practice Of railroads in delaying refund
ing money collected on oyer-chargcs for
freight and requiring prompt settlement
when coal Of shippers is COntscatcd by
the railroads for their own use. This
is the most important legislation There
was much that was proposed which was
of great Importance to the people Of the
State but which was not enacted into
law because there was not sufficient
time to properly consider it. l intro
duced a bill looking t othe correcting Of
discrimination against North Carolina
points. in the matter of freight charges.
The towns in this State are greatly ham
pered in their growth and development
! because the business men in them are
charged for freight in excess of what
other towns and of the State pay, enough
to cause many business men to leave the
State and those who remain do so at 4
sacrifice. This is going to be one of the
great questions for the next Legislature
| to settle, and unless the railroad pcopl
| are wise and correct it themselves, it

great difficulty is in correcting the evil
without violating the Interstate com
Imerce laws.

tural building at the A. and NJ. College
so that the farmer boys should have an
opportunity to prepare themselves for
their work that the most important step
has been taken to bring about change
Of conditions in North Carolina. 1 be
licVe the discussions in the last Legs
lature showed very clearly what tn"
policy Of the State should be in the way
.of giving agricultural training. l believe
this one act Will mean more to North
Carolina and her development than any
other single act by that body.
Instead Of wasting money trying to get
other people to come here to buy our
lands, we have entered upon the true
policy OF educating and training our own
boys to become farmers. \ broad and
liberal foundation has been laid by the
last Legislature. The State could we'll
afford it and it will be a wise invest
ment to send educated farmers into every
township in North Carolina. These bows
who receive this education at the A. and
NJ. College Will, with few exceptions
settle in North Carolina and then We
will see the wisdom of this act of the
legislature ! believe that the A. and
NJ. College is to be the great factor IN
bringing about a great change in North
Carolina and I feel surc that the people
Through their legislators will be liberal
in their support of this institution II
we arc to compete with the west. VIE can
not do so with ignorance. other States
have been doing what we are just now
beginning to do. In conclusion. I viii
say that I believe that time will prov
this to be one Of the wiscst acts Of tho
Legislature, so far as affecting the agri-
cultural interests of the State.
