When we examine these facts and fig.

gy and wisdom of Calvin II. ,,4ley, who
was the early and earnest advocate OF
q public school system, the faithful CON
secrated SUPERINTENDENT of North Caro-
lina's educational department for so many
years of his useful life. Judge Archibald
D. Murphey preceded him by many years
as an able and strenuous advocate Of a
State educational system DR.. Wiley took
it up later and pushed it by constant
assiduity and able advocacy to sue
cessful contamination so devoutly sought
and desired. Or. Wiley held that cdu-
Gated women were better school teachers
than were men. In this ne was possibly
wrong. At any rate, as it is usually the
case, the great teachers III this State
have been men-Johnston, the Binghams,
James II. Horner, LII. D., Ashold G.
Brown and others. In 1858, the school
fund exclusive OF .ae Swamp Lands, was
$2,155,8S2. In private schools $2,2000,C0
were invested. The private schools for
girls were very numerous-at Salem,
