The address of President
Harris was next and was an
able effort. He gave a hasty sum-

schools and pointed out some of
the immediate needs. He had
the following to say in regard to
the method of selecting school
boards:
I'm this connection we had as we'll

that great change is soon to be
inaugurated in the public school sys-
tenn. Whether it be for good or for
i'll, it seems plain to me that this
State has to-day its last appointive
school boards. The idea is abroad
that we have passed the time when
anything tending toward centralized
government is necessary or wise, and
that We have arrived at that period in
our history when the suffragists of the
State are intelligent enough to know
their own needs, and to choose their
own administrators with better iudg.

that the school business will not be

At the close of his address
Miss Genevieve MOutOn rendered
a pleasing selection upon the
piano.
The feature of the evening was
Gov. Aycock's' address. 1t was
