MESSAGE FROM EDUCATIONAL FIELD
II Was One Of the Lectures In the
Faculty Series.
THE Trinity chronicle.)

One Of the best lectures that
has been delivered here this year
was that by Hon. ]. Y, Joyner,
State Superintendent of Public
Instruction, last evening in the
Craven Memorial hall. His SUBJ
ject was "A Message from the
Educational F eld." Mr.. Joyner
is most thoroughly acquainted
with the educational conditions
and needs in this State. and it
was very interesting to hear a
man so thoroughly imbued with,
deeply interested in the great
cause of education. He presented
every phase of the subject, and
made a very earnest plea for men
to devote their lives to the teach
ing profession and thus CO. ribute
greatly to the good Of the State.
Mr.. Joyuer, began by saying:
Young Gentlemen bring you
a message from the field, where |
am an humble worker for the
children. bring it to you
young men. becaue you are
strong, because You are to be pc,
tent in moulding the thought. in
creating the ideals, in shaping
the destiny of the State" The
speaker thea gave the statistic of
North Carolina which shows that
there Is a school population in
North Carolina of about 100000
between the ages OF six and
twenty one-475,447 of which
are white and 23I,osI colored.
According to the reports only 7o.3
percent Of the white children. and
6o.4 per cent of the colored
school population enrolled during
the past year. On account oft he
large number Of children who
are out Of the school it is evident
that there are thousands of chill.

dren In North CaTollna on the
straight road to illiteracy.
Mr.. Joyner then took up North
Cardinals place in school work in
the United States, saying that it
was next to the last in the black
column of white illiteracy in the
Union, as per the census of 1900.
He then spoke ofthe heroic efforts
being made to relieve the situa-
ton, adding that he believed the
census ofIeIo wouldtell different
story to the world.
The speaker after telling Of
North Cardinals in educational
ranking, he told what is being
done to relieve the situation. He
said that the people were becoming
aroused to the importance of
education and its necessity as
never before. This is shown by
the voluntary voting in. different
localities an additional burden of
taxation for the betterment Of his
school. To supply the missing
link between the grammer school
instruction and the college, the
General Assembly of 1907 made
ID special appropriation of $4,000.
for the establishment of public
high schools; and in many ill.,
stances COMMITTEES and counties
have of their own accord duplicat-
ed the amount. He then spoke
of libraries that have been started
and the good that is being accom-
psished in this way.
Mr.. Joyner was both powerful
and eloquent in his appeal to
college man to bear their part Of
the common burden of universal
education and to give the ignorant
and illiterat the advantage Of the
superior training.
Mr.. Jorner then took up the
profession of teaching, showing
the need for strong men, and the
opportunities afforded. He also
stated that the demand was far in
excess of the supply, saying that
the salaries were being increased
rapidly, as il was now understood
that to obtain good teacher a
sufficient inducement must be
offered. In choosing yorr life
work. said the speaker, don't
leave ont Of consideration the
Christ-like clement of service.
The address throughout was
powerful and numbers of things Of
importance were discussed by Mr..
Joyner.
After the address the Tombs,
an organization ofthe college, ell
tertained in honor Of Mr.. Joyner
in the banquet hall of the New
Dormitory. Refreshments were
served aud number OF toasts re.
spouded to. The occasion was

How DIscrImlnallVe Freight Rates Work

Another result Of the freight
rates which discriminate against
Charlotte and North Carolina is
found in the announcement in
this mornings paper that the
Allen Hardware Company, of
this city, has consolidated with a
Chester, S. c., company and the
business is to be transferred to
Norfolk, Va. The Adams Grain
and Provision Company, of Char
lotte, some time ago established
a ware house in Richmond, Va,
which is now its principal ship
ping point, and two or more
years ago Mr.. J. Lee Koiner
transferred his whole -four mill
plant and business to Virginia
all three for the reason Of dis
criminative freight rates against
North Carolina. We have had
a great deal to say, from time to
time, Of the outrageous discrimi-
nation against this State in the
matter of rates but no amount Of
argument could be half so con-
vincing as the simple statement
that two well established bust
ness have, within a recent period
been pulled out Of one city and
transferred to a favored State
and that arrangements for the
removal of a third are now com.
plete. These facts tell a tale Ia
which no number Of words could
lend additional weight. Char

REAL ESTATE GOOD TO HAVE

The remark OF Councilman Carbon
that Elys growth must he toward

tween the TWO towns will be closed,
Ely City is spreading our steadily.

Ely it will be the biggest city in
Nevada and the busiest. New rail-
road building whior is certain With
in the next year or two is bound TO
make such result. for the reason that
IL will connect the town with great
districts from which we. viii receive
large ore tonnage and much trade
To swell the great volume Of husi-
ness which this district will make
from its own operation OF mines and

the room for all expansion that a
population of 5o.00e may call for.
That room and modern convenienees
for such population will be re-
auirement here within the next ten
years AT the outside is certainty
The demands thar less than TWO years
of active development and building
by Nevada Consolidated and Cumher-
land Ely have made here is sufficient
tn determine this With the coming
of railroads giving us direct entry
To the mining districts Of the south
and to the southern harhors and mar

increase in population ana activity

Health and Morals.

The close relation of body and mind
In the matter of physical health, Of
which SO much is said by various re-
ngious and semi-religious organiza-
tons and by class of professional
"healers," is considered from fresh
point of view by an English clergy
man. His argument is that no person
who is healthy can be wholly bad.
The clergyman. further expressed the
conviction that there is a close con-
nection between health and morals,
and that the man who has reached
middle age in a sound bodily condition
thereby proves that he has led de-
cent life. In support of his position he
advanced the assertion that a large
proportion of the convicts in English
prisons are physical degenerates.
From this 1t would seem, says the In
dianapolis News, that he does not con-
fine his designation Of badness" to
the vices involved in intemperance
and other forms of sensual dissipa-
ton, but, since convicts are guilty of
many things apart from these, as
theft, burglary, forgery and the like,
holds that they are led to the perpe-
tration of even this class of crimes
by defective bodily state.

ANIMALS SENT TO PRESIDENT.
Gifts Made Are Mostly Sent to the
Geological Park.

No presidents family has been the
recipient of as many animal pets as
has that of President Roosevelt. This
is undoubtedly due to the widespread
knowledge of the presidents fondness
for hunting and his interest in every
thing pertaining to brute creation,
With few exceptions the animals pre-
scented to the president or his children
have been sent to the Geological park
in Washington.
Gifts of wild and domestic animals
from admirers in foreign countries
have not been infrequent. One of the
most interesting presents Of this kind
was that of King Menelik Of Abys.
sinia. who sent the president an Ara.
bian zebra and two ostriches as a
token of his esteem and admiration
for Mr.. Roosevelt.
The American animals received at
the White House range from white
rats and mice to cinnamon bear or
a mountain lion. The most treasured
pets of the younger members of the
family are their ponies. A Mexican
double yellow-head parrot was the ia
vorite of Miss Alice before she mar
ried, and the cries of Alice" by the
bird filled the White House for many
days after his mistress had left.
There is no home in Washington so
full Of pets of high and low degree
as is the White House.

Exauaerated IDEAS.

By a process of elimination, Le-
grand Powers, chief statistician Of the
census, reaches the conclusion that
our millionaires are not so plutocratic
as they are popularity supposed to be.
The probabilities are that Mr.. Powers
is right, remarks the Buffalo Express.
Everyone knows how the value OF
great estates ordinarily shrinks when
their owners die and the property gets
into the courts for valuation and dis
tribution. Popular ideas credited Rus
sell Sage with an estate Of 500, 000,-
900, yet its value was oficially given
after his death at somewhere in the
neighborhood of $60,OOO,0OO, quite suf.
ficient, of course, to provide for ones
needs, but much less than he was gen.
orally credited with having. It is so
with almost every very rich man who
dies; the public has had exaggerated
ideas of his wealth. When we have
sliced off anywhere from $10,O00,0O0 to
$4O,O00,000 from the numerous big
estates, there is quite balance which
must go to the rest of the people.

Come from Everywhere.

The people of Washington are peo-
pie from all parts of the United
States. In a limited degree they are
people from every corner of the world,
but the foreign-born population here is
not as large in proportion to the ma
tive-born population as it is in many
other cities. 1t was in 1900 only II
per cent, in comparison with 81 per
cent. for New York, 35.1 per cent for
Boston, 34.6 for Chicago, 22.S per cent.
for Philadelphia, 1914 per cent for St.
Louis and 1876 per cent. for Baltimore.
On the other hand, only 46.4 per cent.
of native-born Westinghouse we're
born in the District of Columbia, while
TAT per cent. OF Baltimore's popula-
ton are Marylanders, 500 of Boston's
people born in Massachusetts, So of
New York's people born in the Empire
state, and 65.3 of Philadelphia people
born in Pennsylvania. These percent
ages show striking comparison with
the Washington percentage, when the
large foreign-born population of Balti-
more, Boston, Philadelphia and New
York and the small foreign-born popu-
lation of Washington are taken into
consideration. Charleston, S. c., af-
fords much more striking compari-
son. No less than 90.3 of its inhab-
itants are natives of South Carolina.
