pr. Mclver Reports.

The report of Dr. Charles D. Mclver of Greensboro N. C., president Of the state Normal college of North Carolina, lol- lows: s .,,.
 ..ln my opinion the majority or the schools of the south need and need badly:
 "1 Better houses and equipment.
 "2 Longer terms.
 ..3 Stronger teachers.
 .4 More effective supervision.
 "Redueing these needs to d common de- nominator we have four distinct cdlls for more money. Not only is 1t call Tor more now-one time-but for all tune. IL is a perennial call. And, without discount inc inc very great value of temporary stimulating funds, it is nevertheless true fhat no man and no community was ever educated into strength unless the man or inc community contributed to the traln- ing in self-denying drudgery ana other wise more than was contributed rom all outside sources.
 .It is the salvation of democracy that education cannot be bought or given or inherited or sold, like clothes and what we choose to call real estate. The person educated must contribute more to his education than all others combined, though he cannot do the task alone. Par ents, teachers, taxpayers and philanthropy ists can aid him, but all of them com bined cannot educate man without his  tient toll. It Is in this sense that every man is the architect of his own fortune
 Tt is a fact, moreover. that the more we can induce a man to do for himself for his better training the more will he be able to do not only for himself but for others The principle is as true for communities as it is for men.
 Has the Advantage.
 s'In one sense the southern education board has the advantage of any other phianthropic board. It has nothing to give but advice and has no work except to persuade the judgments and inspire the hearts and consciences of men. Its high mission is to teach adults to know and practice the truth that will make them and their children free.
 "ro persuade a man or a people to tax himself or themselves to the utmost for education is a glorious work. It is teach ing them to sell all that they have, if necessary. in exchange for this pearl of great price. and I know that the angels must rejoice over one civic sinner who repents of his selfishness and hatred of taxes and becomes an enthusiastic sup porter Of universal education by taxa tion.
 aI have introduced my report with these automatic and rather platitudinous statements to indicate exactly my point of view in the campaign l have helped to manage during the past two years.
 .sIt has been my constant endeavor to persuade men and women to beautify their school grounds, to build better houses and improve their equipment, and, above all, to insist upon having real teacher in each school house. As none { of these improvements can be brought about in any considerable degree with ont more money, and as more money can be had only by local taxation, have made i everything else in my plans secondary to honorably securing votes for this funda- mental necessity.
 E..I have discussed almost no other ques-

Public School System.

Before going into q report of last years work, I want to remind you that our public shool system is less than for ty years old man rented some land from a wealthy gentleman in my town a few years ago and they were walking over it in October, when it ought to have been grown and in full fruitage. Why said the land owner, the cotton is very small 'Yes,' said the renter, but you must remember that it is not year old yet Our school system, as system. did not exist prior to 1868 My report this year to the general assembly was the thirty-ffth annual report of the su- perintendent of education. Fifty years ago we had private schools galore. and a plan to aid poor children in these schools
 but there was no public school system. We now have but half system. Our white schools, on an average, ran ll2 days last year and the colored school seventy-four days It is crisis in our work until we have a session of twice that length, and until child can receive first class education at any of the public schools. We spent last year $i,-

Predomlnance of White People.

"'The northern half of South Carolina is and has been the home of the Scotch Irish the English and the German. This is the land of the small farms and a large predomnance of white people. Here is an undulating, rolling country which reaches to an elevation of 5000 feet, where nestes the home of the stur- dy mountaineer. Here may be found our cotton. corn and wheat fields and here is where 'odr waterfalls, wearied with the solos of centuries, have joined in musical duets with the shuttle and the looms.' In this section you may travel more than a hundred miles and not be out of sight of a prosperous mill village for more than five minutes at n time. It is here that school administrators must face the difficult problems of the mill towns and the not less difficult ones of the depleted country from which the operatives have gone. Ambition grows wildly and luxuriantly in mountainous environment; and there are enough ann bilious, aspiring children beneath the frowning cliffs of the Blue Ridge to guide the destinies and direct the ener- gies of the greatest nation under heaven What greater privilege on earth than to provide wholesome and adequate train ing for such childreni
