d dormitory to start with to accom-
modate % boys and % girls In
order to establish a school IN 4
county, this equipment must be pro-
vided by the county and special tax
must be provided that will affosd
$4,000 per year for maintenance
When this Is done, $4,000 additional
win be provided from tho state
Treasury.
AS far as Durham county is corr
cerned, the cost is a mere bagatelle--
81. 500 per year and the interest on
$685. daresay that there are
several townships In the county
which stand ready to furnish tue
s25, 900 for equipment to have the
institution in their midst
A number of questions were asked
DR.. Joyaer BY the farmers at this
point in regard 10 the details OF the
cos. and maintenance and it was dis
cnssed freely in open meeting.
The Advantages
Nov as to the advantages of this
school. All of the prosperity Of
North Carolina is dependent upon
agriculture. upon farming. When
ever we do anything to increase the
amount of products raised on the
farm We increase the general pros
perity of the entire state.
Whenever the proportion OF citl-
Gems living in the cities become too
great the very foundations OF our
government and our society is In
danger. In order to keep the pcpu-
lation in the country we must teach
the people how to make farming
more profitable,s so that the comforts
and modern conyeniences of life can
be provided on the farm. The trouble
with farming has been that we have
had too many hands TO the pillow and
too few brains. We must teach our
farmers to mix brains with the SOIL.
DR.. Hill Speaks.
DR.. Hill was introduced by Mr..
Umstead at the conclusion Of the adj
dress OF DIR. Jcyner.
There seems to come a time in
the history Of all industries" Dr.
Hill said, when radical changes
must be made. II seems that such q
time has come when we must make
these changes on the farm. In the
first place the lack of new lands Il
bringing about this change. We are
beginning TO realize that we must
make the land bring more. Another
factor that is bringing about this
change is the scarcity OF labor. II
the days of slavery, labor was plenty
but today we are beginning TO realize
that we must make labor producs
more. Another factor that is bring
| ing about this change is that th'
farmers are beginning TO want more
More Of the eonyeniences OF life mus
be available on the farm.
In order to bring about thes'
changes We must put our farms i
the haIds Of more efficient men. |,
order tc get these efficient men, VI
must have more Industrial ednca
| tion."
| DR.. Hill made an eloquent plea 10
lplacing a greater knowledge OF tn
underlying principles Of farmin
within the reach Of the young peopl
OF the farm. and thus make thei
Occupation happier.
