tations from the experience of indi-
vidual lives, the teachings of concrete
history and the proverbs of the Bible.
Quoting the PrOverb that where there
was no vision from the wise the peO-
pie were in darkness, he applied it for
ceably, often eloquently and philoso-
phically. Thousands, he said could
think, could speak, could act, where
enc could see. There was need for
more see-ers, seers today.
President Nenable was followed by
Dean Russell of Columbia University
who spoke in a clear cut concise, elO-
quent style. He spoke not schOolteach-
erIy at all, but as father advising his
own or a neighbor helping modestly a
less oppOrtunitied neighbor, and friend.
Discussing "what was worth while in
education" Dean Russell divided his
lecture into four heads: First health;
second, correct manner, (of dress and
grammar): third, capacity to earn a
livelihood: fourth, appreciation Of
things worth while.
This closed the morning session. In
the afternoon, at the various section
meetings at Smith Memorial hall, the
Opera House and the Graded School
building, Prof Burkett of A. & NJ. Col

At five fifteen o'clock all gathered

Write the Record Straight.

Our good friend of the Clarkton Ex-
press is slightly mixed in his recol-
lection Of sOme things. as all who are
well posted in recent events will see
from the following, which Is copied
from that paper:
All newspapers sometimes give POOR
advice, but If the last legislature had
listened to the advice given by the
Raleigh News and Observer and many
other good papers in the state, includ-
ing this one, the ~disgraceful spectacle
of seeing men and women OF the very
best families I'm the state locked up in
the county jails and treated as crimi-
nails because they were so unfortunate
as to lose their minds, would be q
thing Of the past. The great cry rails
ed by the press of the state when the
legislature first met, was, First make
arrangements for the immediate care
of the insane, and then make appro-
priation for other causes" The imme-
date care of the insane should have
been attended to before another thing
was considered, n every member OF
the legislature who opposed this hould
bow his head in shame when he looks
over the state and sees men and wo-
men of the highest refinement n in
telligence in the common jails because
there is no room in the hospitals. It's
a shame and a disgrace on North Car
olina so long as this state of affairs
exists"
1t is right to keep the record
straight. AS a matter Of fact, which
the files Of the papers will show, while
the Morning Post and other papers
were urging the legislature to make
ample provision for the very class Of
unfortunates mentioned by the Elk
press, the News and Observer, which
that paper now gives the credit for
doing that which it did not do, used all
it's influence to defeat the identical
thing which the Express says should
have been done. Every sensible man
saw that it was a financial impossible
ty TO furnish the necessary accomo-
dations for the insane out of the states
income and at the same time take care
of the other absolutely necessary re-
auirements. The Post, along with
other papers, urged a sufficient bond
issue to answer ~humanity's call. and
take care Of the insane. The News
and Observer said: Pay as you go:
il you can't pay don't go" That mean
to let the poor unfortunate creatures
| stay n jails and suffer on without re-
| lief rather than increase the states
| debt by a small amount, an Invitation
to shame and disgrace to rest upon
| the state. an unblushing share I'm that
| shame and disgrace in order to court
