Q. A. 4 P. EXTENSION
Building to Be Completed to Roar
ing Springs BY Early Summer
No Plans for Further Extension.

Sam Lazarus, president and
Charles H. Sommer, vice presi'
dent of the Quanah, Acme 4
Pacific. VINO have Just been to
Quanah and let the contract for
the construction of a forty mile
extension of the road, were in
Fort Worth for a short while one
day this week, leaving yesterday
for St. Louis.
The extension is being built
from Paducah to Roaring
Springs and the contract calls
for its completion May l, 1913.
Tuesday fifty teams were put
to work grading and otherwise
preparing the right-of-way, and
Mr.. Lazarus said the extension
as far as the Tongue river cross
ing. a distance of sixteen miles.
will be open by Dec. /.
The new extension will be con-
structed of the latest improved
material for railroad building
and all bridges and culverts will
be of reinforced concrete. Be-
ginning with last Friday. motor
car service was established be-
tween Quanah and Paducah,
with one car a day each day.
Owing TO heavy travel and
freight traffic, this service will
be doubled the latter part of this
week. The car used IN this
service is a seventy-five root all
steel, ninety-fve passenger gas
and electric motor car also hav-
ing a compartment for express
and freight.
Speaking of the conditions in
the vicinity of Quanah and Pa
ducah, both Mr.. Lazarus and Mr..
Sommer said crops were looking
better than they had seen them
in ten years. In many instances
farmers are making a bale of
cotton to the acre, and taking
that section as a whole, the
cotton crop will average about
so per cent better than that of
last year, according to the Off
cials. Fruit and grain, especial
ly peaches, Kaffir corn and milo
maize are in abundance and are
being shipped to Chicago and
other northern markets.
Neither Mr.. Lazarus nor Mr.,
Sommer Would confirm the re-
port that the Quanah, Acme q
Pacific would continue its line
from Roaring Springs after it
finally reaches that point.

TO PROVIDE TRAINING FOR
TEACHERS.
FOR

The announcements by the General
to the George Peabody College for
Teachers. of Nashville. Tenn, is a
matter of vital m to every Sou
thern State. This. the largest gift yet
made by the board. to a Southern in
stitution, is another evidence of the
wisdom of this board in studying the
educational needs of the entire coun-
trv and in responding thereto. like
the Peabody board. which has already
given to Peabody College ST.
600. 600 and has made a conditional
promise of $500, 600 more, the Gener-
n Education Board feels that with
the South's remarkable educational
awakening. a prime need is the eStaD-
lishnlent and proper maintenance q
a centrally located institution for the
advanced training Of teachers. super
intendentS. supervisors. and e~ducation-
al leaders of all types.
The Old Peabody College which was
the pioneer normal college Of thu
South, sent out some 1000 teachers.
The trustees felt that. with the multi
plication Of normal colleges in every
Southern State and with the estab-
hshment of departments of education
in all important colleges and universi-
ties. the institution at Nashville should
be recognized on a new basis-to pro
vide that advanced training for teach

rial APPROVAL Of the plans and ideals
If the Peabody College is the special
monev-the establishment Of a school
Ct country life as an integral part OF
the work Of the institution, the same
to be a memorial TO DR.. seaman A.
Knapp. who in the minds OF many,
did more than any other man OF ms
generation to Yeyolutionize the eco
nomit and social life Of the rur:il dis
tricts of the South. 1t IS very nttlns
that his name and memory should
thus be linked with that Of George
Peabody who in the time OF the SoLth s
dlrest need rave such an impetus TO
the public sch0o system Of this sec
ton. Through his School of Country
Life all the results Of departments OF
agriculture, national and state, Of aS-
ricultural colleges and experiment sta
tions, as we'll as all the best thought
of the time about the enrichment OF
rural life become vitality related to the
teachers work. Experts will be train
ed to superintend and supervise n
teach country schools in accordance
with the demands Of a new day. In
the readjustment Of educational sYS-
TENS and ideal now going on through
out the country, the School Of Country
Life Of the Peabody College will play
an important and formative part.
North Carolina will take a special
pride in all this work because the
President Of the Peabody College is
Bruce r. Payne. who was born and
received his early training In this
State. His special training at the
Teachers College Of New York. his
creative work in the adjustment Of
the high school system Of Virginia,
and his organization of h great
Summer School Of the University Of
commanding position to which he is
now giving his life. His energy. his
executive ability, his resourcefulness
mark him as one Of the foremost e.
nCatiOnal leaders Of the S,ith. He is
fully equal TO the organization of this
institution Which will begin it's work
in the fall Of 1919. With the allul
ing prospect of $4,000, 900 as a basis
for building and endowment, with the
advantage Of close afiliation with
Vanderbilt University. and with a fav-
orable location that gives it access tc
an extensive constituency, the George

its able and consecrated' president, j.

WHY 4 MONUMENT TO GOV
ERNOR AYCOCk.

Governor Aycock was the foremost
North Carolinian Of u generation:
foremost in oratory, IN craftsmanship,
in patriotism, in broad-minded hu-
manitarian and in popular leader
ship. A monument to Aycock is a
to North Carolina: for he
typitied in his life and character all
hat is best and noblest in the life
and character of the State. He was a
Tar Heel through and through, TO
the manner born" and bred. All his
education was received in the State:
all his training and development in
oratory and craftsmanship was had IN
North Carolina, all his life was spent
here; all his longings and aspirations
were for the welfare, honor and glory
Of his native State. He was North
Carolina in epitome, condensed, crys-
tallized. beautifed and glorifed.
The chief glory of Aycock, the
charm of his oratory, the strength OF
his advocacy, the power of his lead
ership, the i~ndestructible foundation
Of his popularity both in public and in
private life was his perfect natural
ness, his absolute sincerity, his rank
honesty and his thorough unselfish-
eSS His whole life was spent in the
service of others. He ived for his
family, for his friends, for his State
and for humanity. His hear was
warm, tender and sympathetic, and it
beat for all mankind.
He was a firm believer In the peo-
pie n in popular government. He
came from the ranks Of the people.
He knew them, loved them, trusted
them. But he knew what they need
ed to fit them for citizenship, SO he
never made a public address without
TO the people he never talked GoN.'
but up. He never yielded nor catered
to popular ignorance, prejudice, or
passion, but sought always to follow
the rule Of reason and justice and hu-
manity and to guide the people In
paths of wisdom n righteousness.
He was as far from demagoguery as
sunshine from darkness. He was a
true leader Of the people, a tender
guide n preacher; an inspired
apostle of education. No man coulG
lead q nobler life. For a quarter OF q
century he preached popular govern
ment and popular education with the
zeal and eloquence Of Paul.
No man could die a nobler death
He fell like a soldier in battle, in t
very midst Of an eloquent plea for the
education OF every child. The las
word he spoke was little child" the
last idea he had was universal educa
ton; the last vision Of his soul was al
educated democracy.
We will place his statue in the Cap
itol Square to recall the lessons Of hi
life, to guide the people along tn
paths Of power, wisdom and right
eousness, to inspire the youth Of fu
= ture generations to lives OF lofty pa
, triOtiSm.
