of it. In fact the Pride of Hender-

The course of instruction offered
and the methods are those of the
best of modern graded schools, and
this can be understood when it is stat

have had as their superintendent Prof.

being that the Henderson Graded

the State.
Not merely to have schools is the
purpose in Henderson, but the best
schools, so that as the young people
are educated and grow to manhood
and Womanhood they can carry for

make it a beacon light to North Caro-
lima in education and in all that fol-
