DISTINGUISHED EDUCATORS
TRIED TO BLOW OUT
ELECTRIC LIGHTS

Mr.. w. H. Ragsdale, Of Pit
county, and DR.. Harrison, o
Halifax county, are two Of tn
best known educators attending
the State associations meeting
of county superintendent, nov
in session here.
These gentlemen occupy tn
same room at the Gates Hotel
where Mr.. Ragsdale early re
tired last night. His friend, re.
turning about eleven O'Clock.
found him, wild eyed and ex.
cited, sitting bolt upright in bed,
staring intently at the electric
light in. front of him,
muttering and talking to him
self.
why, what's the matter?
Why aren't you asleep" he in
quired, slightly alarmed at his
friends strange appearance.
s
the matter, you say? That's
what I want tito know!" was
the reply. Here I've been in
bed for three hours with the
covers plum over my head try
ing to sleep and that doggasted
light burning rioht along-and
keeping me awake. I've tried
every way I know of to put it
out but the blame thing wont go
out. Say, Doc, you try now and
see what you can do"
DR.. Harrison examined the
electric light from all points. He
got upon a chair and looked at it
carefully from above. He peer
ed closely at it from every angle,
but could discover no means of
extinguishing it's bright rays.
At last a smile rippled over his
face and turning in supreme
disgust to his friend still sitting
up in bed and who looked real
cross, he said:
why didn't you blow it out?"
BLOW it QUIT" snorted Mr..
"b-b-l-ow it out! Why,
I've blowed on the blame thing
until I'm black in the face and it
even fickered. Blow it
out, indeed-why don't you blow
it out, hey?"
well, don't get excited, I
but stop! Now | know what
this light is! Now remember
it all comes back to me-it's
what is called an electric light and
you can't put it out as long as
the motor runs. That's the
motor now-hear it? No, that
noise isn't the elevator, it's the
motor, l tell you, and as long as
that runs the light burns"
well, it wont burn long, Doc"
was the reply, for I'll take a
stick and knock the doggone
out the window. I want
some sleep sometime tonight!"
mo. don't do that-you can't
tell what may happen. Get
your clothes on and We'll go
downstairs and ask the clerk
about it."
And in a few minutes the two
friends, arm IN arm, were seen
talking earnestly to the hotel
who carefully, very care
explained to them how to
turn out the electric light, eau
them finally, to never,
never blow it QUIT might be
dangerous!

Public High Schools
Doing Great Work.

Prof. N. H. Walker, of the
University at Chapel Hill and
inspector of the State High
School system, is enthusiastic
over the prospects of future adj
vacement in the State along edu-
cational lines. He doesn't OBJ
ject, in the least bit, to talking
about the possibilities of the
State High Schools, (which indi-
Gates the great interest he is
taking in the work.
Asked to state something of
the results already accomplished
and, also, concerning the future
prospects of the same Prof. Wal
ker said:
''Since the establishment of
the first public high school in
1907, the door of opportunity has
been opened to thousands of boys
and girls in North Carolina who
without the schools never could
have received any training be-
yond the elementary school
course. AS you know, provision
was first made for the establish
ment of State High Schools by
the Legislature of 1907. The first
year 145 schools were opened,
and they enrolled 1000 pupils;
the second year 159 schools were
opened, and they enrolled close
to 5000 students; this year there
will be f76 State High Schools,
and we expect to enroll over
1000 students. This will give
you some idea of the growth and
development of the public high
school work since it's Inaugural
ton two years ago."
mo educational work of the
State has been begun in the last
two decades that promises to
yield larger returns in educated
and elevated manhood and wom-
anhood in the next generation
than this public high school
movement. The high school ap-
proportion made by the Legisla-
ture of 1909, has already proved
a God-send to thousands of the
youth of the State. The work as
a whole has gone forward most
satisfactorily, and it's future
prospects are, indeed, bright.
"Our big problem at present is
to make adequate provision for
the growth of the schools in or
der that they may be able to
meet the demands now made up
on them. There have been a
few schools that have not grown
but they are exceptions, and
whenever such a school is found,
it's failure can be traced to one
of two causes, Cd an incompe-
tent principal, or, (2) a back
ward community. We are now
planning big things for the en-
largement and growth of these
high schools that prove them
selves worthy to survive.

INTERESTING TALKS TO
CONVENTION LAST NIGHT


The meeting of county superin
tendents last evening was one OF
the most interesting of those
held so far. An opportunity was
given Mr. J. P. Cook, editor
of The Uplift, a paper published
at the Jackson Training schoo
at Concord, to present the
cause of the paper and also OF
the school. Mr.. Cook made g
very impressive talk and al
who heard him were strongly
impressed with his earnestness
and zeal in the work he has
taken in hand. He told a num-
Der of stories connected with
the Jackson Training School,
chief among them the story of
howsMr. G.. T. Roth was per-
suaded to give $500 towards
building a cottage. Mr.. Cook
called upon the county superin-
tendents to aid in getting 10, 900
subscribers for The Uplift at a
yearly price 81. 90 per copy. The
worksof printing the paper is done
by the boys and Mr. Cook him
self edits it. Since there is no
cost in producing the paper, $40
600 secured from the 10, 900 sub
scribers would be used in the in
terest of the school. 1t is the
purpose of Mr.. Cook and others
interested to build with this
money a cottage known as the
educational cottage. Mr.. Cook
in his address,, suggested that
it be named after a prominent
living educator. He mentioned
no names. However, Mr.. z. V.
Judd, superintendent of Wake
county schools, carrying out the
suggestion of Mr.. Cook, made a
motion that it be called the J. Y.
Joyner Cattage. This motion
seemed to meet the hearty in
dorsement of the county superin-
tendents, but Mr.. Joyner would
not put the motion and refused
to allow it to be named in his hon
or. He thought that it should be
called the educational cottage
and not after any living man. He
made a stirring talk in behalf of
Training School, and in
telling the story Of little Joe,
(as told by Dickens in Bleak
House, made a profound i'm
preston on his audience. The
county superintendent, by a
vote. pledged themselves
to do all in their power to help
secure a subscription list of 10,
300 for the Uplift. There is no
but that this will be done.
Another interesting address
was made by DR.. w. S. Rankin
Secretary Of the State Board of
Health. DR.. Rankin made no
to outline a plan Of pro-
5ecting the health Of the school
children, but he made an earnest
appeal to the County Superinten-
dents to see that this important
feature Of school work was given
more attention. He spoke at
length of the necessity of paying
more attention to the health of
the people, and gave them some
very startling statistics showing
the cost in money of the peoples
neglect of this duty. He stated
that something like So, O95, OOO,-
were wasted each year be-
cause the prevalence of prevent
able diseases. Among these he
mentioned typhoid fever, tuber-
culosis and the hook-worm
disease. He stated that 40 per
cent of all the people of Eastern
North Carolina had the hook
worm disease. He also stated
that a few years ago he made an
examination of LAT students at
Wake Forest College, and found
