Educational Awakening.

The best part of the Educational
Conference at Cary yesterday is left
for the laSt-the meeting of the WO-
mans Betterment Association presided
over by Miss Edith Register, president.
1t was an inspiration to hear the re-
ports and speeches Of a score of WO-
men who have raised over $4,000 in
Wax during the past year to i'm
prove the public school houses and
grounds, to buy pianos and pictures,
to lengthen the school term, and to
interest parents in the work OF maxi
ing better public schools in their dis
trictS. When this work was begun a
few years ago in Wake under the
leadership of Mrs. E. z. MofTitt and
faith and zeal.
The women in most parts of the
county took hold ~zealously and you
car tell the districts where the women
are at work by looking at the school
houses and reading the reports The
following officers were elected:
President-Miss Edith Register.

Mrs. W. A.. Smith; Eastern District,

A PLEASING

To the Editor: AT the recent session
of the N. G. Teachers Assembly at
Morehead City there. was one pleasing
and hopeful incident that has not been
noticed in the reports Of the meeting
SO far as I have seen that I desire to
mention briefly.
On Thursday morning the presiding
officer of the Assembly noticed in the
audience the chairman Of the Stone
wall Jackson Manual Training and In
dustrial School,-James P. Cook, Esq.
of Concord. Mr.. Cook was invited to
tell the teachers something of the
work Of the school, and for thirty min
utes he held their undivided attention
as he wildly placed before them the
steps in the creation Of the school. A
number Of pathetic incidents were re-
cited showing how in many cases mere
boys for a slight Offense had been sent
in the past to spend months with har-
dened criminals in convict camps, thus
shutting them off from all hope in
life, and turning them to the ways Of
darker days among those for whom
there could be but little hope.
The work already accomplished at
the Jackson Training School was de-
scribed, the plans for the future out
lined, n altogether Chairman Cook
made a profound impression upon the
North Carolina teachers and won their
he is doing.
hearty sympathy for the great work

withdrawn from their church control
and AVE severed their connection with
the churches which eSta blished them.
Now am not advocating denomina-
tional colleges or other colleges. I
believe hat church colleges have done
great good, as I believe the State col
leges have done great good, but /
see in this discrimination the power
of the givers Of this large fund to
ultimately dominate the educational
policy Of the country, and it is ten
thousand times better that our peo-
pie should have no education beyond
such as they can pay for themselves
than that any corporation or indlVld-
ual with large wealth shall be able
to determine what shall be taught or
shall not be taught in any college. II
the donor can say that a college shall
not specifically teach theology, why
cannot he say that you shall speclf-
cally teach protection or free trade or
imperialism or any political doctrine
he wishes to be taught, and thereby
convert the colleges into mere annexes
of oil factories, or steel works, instead
of being the fountains Of education
and principle and high aspiration? p
Another EducatiOnal Conference
will be held next year, the time and
place to be fixed later. Cary has set
the pace for hospitable entertainment.
and every person there yesterday was
loud IN praise OF the CIVIC pioSiSSS
shown by that delightful village. 1t
has a population second in character
to that of no place in North Carolina.
It never had a saloon and has always
had a good school. Cary High School
as a private institution cache its
high water mark under Prof. T. l..
Middleton, who recently retired to be-
come the State Secretary Of the Bap-
fist Sunday School work. He is still
a leading citizen Of Cary and gave
cordial greeting to visitors in a fine
speech. Cary High chool was the
first public high school to be estab-
liShed in the county and under the
guidance Of Professor Dry is doing a
great work for this section and is at
tracing pupils from other parts of
Wake and from half a dozen other
counties.
