State Superintendent Joyner, CONSOLE
dated the seven schools into four, and
located them at Franklinton, Winston,
Fayetteville and Elizabeth City. These
four schools continued thus until June
of the present year when further eff
fort at consolidation resulted IN the
permanent location of three coiored
normal schools at Winston, Fayette-
Vile and Elizabeth City, the citizens
of those towns agreeing to give sub
stantial help to the State board in
permanently equipping the three
schools with suitable buildings. The
citizens of Winston and the State
School Board contributed about $15,-
600 for permanent buildings ana
equipment for the Winston Normal
School, the citizens of Elizabeth City
contributed $4,000 for the same pllr-
pose while those of Fayetteville
pledged $1,000. These contributions.

MORNING TONIC.
(Horace Mann.)

An ignorant people not only is, but
must be, a poor people. They must
be destitute of sagacity and comfort.
The proof of this does not depend
upon the lessons of history, but on
the constitution of nature. No rich
ness of climate, no spontaneous pro-
ductiveness of soil, no facilities for
commerce, no stores of gold or of
diamonds. can confer even worldly
prosperity upon an uneducated ma
tion Such nation cannot create
wealth of itself; and whatever riches
may be showered upon it will run to
waste. Within the last four CEN
turtles the people of Spain have own
ed as much silver and gold as all the
other nations of Europe put together;
yet at the present time poor indeed
is the people who have less than they.
The nation which has produced more
of the raw material and manufactured
from 1t more fine linen than all con-
temporary nations, is now the most
ragged and squalid in Christendom.

schools were established nearly a

1t may also be of general interest
to add that these schools will now DE

elementary course of study with u

somewhat advanced work in English,

to have these schools take vital part
in the solution of the problem of the

important work it seems to me that

PRESENT DISSATISFACTION. FL.
TURE HOPE.

superintendent John c. Hocutt, of
Orange county, pricks conditions with
a needle point when he states that
"as the public is dissatisfied with
present attachments, the future is
hopeful
The public was too long in the at
titude of indifference to educational
make-shffts. Any thing would do for
the schools; rough, plain buildings,
salaried teachers, slip-shop SUI
pervision in the counties were the
rule. So long as the form of a pub
lie school existed, there was no COM
plant. Teachers were not encourag-
ed to do their best, they were actually
looked upon askance if they ventured
to blaze new paths or seek to remedy
bad conditions.
But, as Mr.. Hocutt says, all that
is changed. The people have opened
their eyes. They are seeing the faults
in their county systems, they are spur
red by competition with other progress
sive communities. Instead of any,
thing being good enough for the
schools, the feeling now is that moth
ing is too good for them. Dissatis-
faction with conditions makes for i'm
provement; improvement suggests
further advances; the future is bright
indeed
With the thousands of new school
houses with the numerous and in
creasing special tax districks, with
the added enthusiasm of teachers and
the resultant Improvement in the ru-
raj communities through the expert
ence of what personal interest in edu-
cation will accomplish and on account
of the books which are being spread
broad cast through the means of the
rural libraries, the wave is gaining
daily force and larger sweep.
1t was a happy day for North Caro-
lima when the people ceased to be
inert and became dissatisfied.
What every great college and school
needs is teachers with good red blood
in their veins, who think as much
about shaping the character of youth
as imparting the knowledge of the
book, if they would escape the fate
of all others where wealth accumu-
lates and men decay
