annual session in 1881 at Wake Gross
Roads. not far from the present vii
lage of Wake Forest, a committee on
education was appointed. The chair
man of the committee was John Arm

of Pennsylvania and graduate of CO.
iumbian College. On the committee
with him were N. G.. Smith, of Chath-
am, and VIM. r. Hinton, of Wake.
Since the convention then had nc
school, Armstrong offered to teach the
young men. The Convention accept
ed his offer and authorized the board
of managers to defray the expenses
of such students as far as they were
able with him or in any school to
which they saw fitNto send them The
education fund reported at this Con-
