North Carolina has a plenty Of col
leges. and in addition to having as
many as the other states Of the Union
Of similar or larger population, they
are divided among all sections. 1t is
noteworthy that in the list OF col !
leges and universities gathered by the
New York World. New York and
PENNSYLVANIA are the only two states

up all over the State, and that prac-
teal things are coming to the front
in all the schools and colleges to edu-
cate The young people OF both sexes

teal as we'll as in what is indicated by
that somewhat g word, culture.
The training school for teachers at
Greensboro has gained q reputation
that must certainly be satisfying to
the people OF the State. The short
courses for teachers. for farmers, for
various classes held at the different
institutions summer and winter are
effective help in bringing the neonle
to a higher plane, and perhaps more
! eIectlve helps than anybody realizes,
The training schools for colored stu
dents are exerting a most valuable
help toward making the negro a more
: efficient member OF the body polite.
S The results Of the school and col.
lege work are shown in a way in the

North Carolina. The Southern Pines
