George Badger WctmOre.

To the Editor: In compliance with
request: George Badger Wetmore, a
native of Fayetteville, n. c., a gradu-
ate of the University of North Carolina
in 1850, was placed in charge of the
academy in this town, town of from
300 to 400 inhabitants at that date.
This was strictly then for boys and
young men. At times, during the
three or four years he was in charge
as principal, the number of students
ran as high as eighty. The impress
left by him here with the boys and
young men is yet seen and felt, though
over half century has passed.
A man well prepared for this avo-
cation-a man of fine literary attain
ments. from this preparatory school
many men entered the best colleges
in our Southland To have been pre-
pared for this by George B. Wetmore
was within itself a recommendation

BILE
The most hopeless boys are those
whose lives are hardened and brutal
lied by disobedience. They bring
shame to families and disaster to
themselves. The first law ever given
to man as touching relations of men
to one another was the fifth COM
mandment which simply required
children to obey parents and nothing
in this commandment said anything
about the character of the parents.
The best thing, the very ideal of child
life, is obedience to parents. even if
the parents themselves are unworthy.
In no other way can the child get the
experience and wisdom necessary to
solve the problems of life.
The school is the famil- life con-
tinued and the teacher takes the place
of the father and the Supreme Court
of the United States says that the
teacher has all the authority of the
parent. No people has ever surpassed
the Anglo-SaXon in manliness, in re-
finement. England is the home of
corporal punishment ana it has been
used and still is with great vfgor in
their great schools. To take Dickens
fiction as sound philosophy in schools,
it ought to hold in the ministry and
law as we'll If Pecksniff is to be the
ideal teacher, Uriah Heep ought by
fair reasoning to be taken as the
ideal lawyer. Dickens never attended
a great school and for that reason was
in revolt against society. Thomas

HELP STUDENTS
What the Loan Fund Does
for Young Men.
The Noble Fruitage of This Help in
the Useful Lives of Men in
Every Line of Industry
Shown.

The use of loan FUNDS for lndlgent
students of promise in North Carolina
institutions of learning is of compara-
lively recent origin. The originator
of the loan fund idea in our State IS
still living in Raleigh. Today the loan
fund is regarded as a regular part of
the college equipment The Universi-
ty and nearly all the leading colleges
for both sexes are supplied with con-
stantly growing funds for the aid of
ambitious youth. The popularity with
which these funds are regarded and
the potency of the influence which
they already exert Justify the belief
that they are in future to be a fixed
factor in our educational polity.
The purpose of this paper is to make
some comment on the work OF these
funds and to offer some suggestions
for their employment and manage

be extended to needy, promising stu
dents while seeking an education hard

self-reliant spirit may sometimes, with
reason hesitate to accept gift. Not
so with a loan. The principle of the
loan is an integral element in business
transactions and in accepting help
through this channel the student is
doing no more than other men, old
and young. are doing daily in their
business pursuits. He is simply ne

THE PEER OF ANY
Tribute to Stephen D.
BagIey and Stewart
[. Johnson.
They Did Their Best Work in the Dark
Days Succeeding the War Nhen
the People Were Poor and
the Outlook was Gloomy.
BY THOMAS w. BLOUNT

Of the instructors of youth who
have left their intellectual impress
upon this section. and gone to their
reward Stephen d. Bagley was easily
the peer of any teacher the South AL
bemarle country has known in the
last half century. A member of the
distinguished Bagley family of Rail
eigh, he was n man of fine intellectual
attainments and a master of solid
learning. As a teacher. he had the
peculiarly happy faculty of imbuing
his classes with an enthusiasm which
made study a delight, and the mastery
of each difficult problem an incentive
to greater efforts. His pupils loved,
honored and feared him. On the
playground he delighted them by
taking a keen interest in all their
sports but in the classroom he brook
ed no foolishness. Those who came
with well-prepared lessons felt that
they had the approval of a master of
learning, whose good opinion was to
be priced The honest, Woodworking
dullard received such encouragement
as kept him constantly hoping that
on the morrow, his tortoise pace would
be increased to the speed of the
bounding hare. The idle and indiffer-
ent quickly learned that laziness was
a disgrace, and that the neglect of
duty would surely bring failure and
contempt.
Mr.. Bagley opened his school in
Plymouth during the first halls of the
decade Immediately after the recon-
struction period. 1t was not the best
time. nor the most favorable locality,
perhaps, for the building up of a
great, strong school, but it was a
mighty happy circumstance for the
boys and girls of that locality. The
people We're very poor. and We're
daZed by the number and magnitude
of their misfortunes. Nearly all the
educated families had been destroy
ed, or had gone away to escape the
humiliation of being subject to their
former slaves. For no section drank
deeper of the vile dregs of reconstruc-
ton than did Plymouth. In spite of
all this Mr. Bagley succeeded in STIR
ring UP enough interest in education
to supply him, master of teaching
that he was, with all the pupils he
could attend to. He was of a restless
temperament, which compelled him
to go from place to place, doing good.
This disposition Of his, inflicted an ir-
reparable loss upon Plymouth, and
the country about it, and robbed him
of much9 of what should have been
the ripening fruits of his labors. The

a boy from the society of school life

when for his indiscretions, he simply

iStered not in wrath but for his own
good. The hazing of new students is
brutal. A dose of homeopathy would
cure it, and yet boys are either not
punished at all for brutal cruelty to
others or forever expelled from school
and opportunity. A school that does
not protect it's new pupils from hui
initiating treatment ought not to eX-
ist. There is no reason for its exist
ence. A school should add dignity to
its pupils. 1t is not necessary to pun
sh a boy severely. 1t is not the Sc
verify of the punishment that secures
obedience. 1t is its. certainty and its
Justice. 1t is very seldom necessary
to punish a boy for misconduct if he
knows that that punishment is certain
and that it is administered with JUS
tice.
The dignity of the court must be
preserved, if respect for law is to be
preserved. Can it be done in any
other way than by administering its
statutes?
North Carolina has remarkable
prosperity How much of it is based
on those splendid schools of splendid
discipline that trained the fathers of
the present generation. The Bin
