THE NORMAL O

Education in itself means progress. 1t is the
building up Of the intellect SO that mankind may
develop the best that it is possible to be had and
that the world may go forward. If we were ever
to remain at a standstill the value Of an educa-
ton would be confined to the individual and the
age. But the true education is not.
One of the greatest factors in educational
growth has been the normal school, the school for
the special training of those who would be teach
ers. In North Carolina we are now beginning to
realize the value Of the State Normal and Indus
trial College and its younger sister, the East Caro-
lima Teachers Training School. These two irsti
buttons are having a marked influence on the pro-
sressive educational life of the entire State.
The growth of the teacher training institution
has been slow until the last few years. 1t has
been hard to get rid Of the idea that any well
educated, or partially educated person, is capable
as a school teacher. The normal school IS really
but seventy-hve years old, the first State insti-
tuition Of the kind IN the United States having
opened in Lexington, Mass, on July 3, 1899. The
parlor of a boarding house was the cradle OF this
educational system, says a historical review, which
gives a synopsis of the Development since that
time.
In those days, it continues, 1t was thought that
a school TO teach teachers how to teach was a
needless expenditure of time and money. IN
able to secure State aid, the pioneers accepted
money offered by Edmund Dwight, who later
became conspicuOusly identified with the new
educational movement. The first class. consist

LIQUOR bur OF THE NAVY.

There went into effect on the first day OF Iul-
the order of Secretary of the NAVY Daniels hv
which the wine mess Of the United States Nav
was abolished, it being prohibited that intox-
eating liquors be kept by officials of the NAVY
aboard ship or at naval stations. This had been
effective before as to the enlisted men, and the
order of Secretary Daniels made the same raie
apply to the officers, thus ending the dav of
liquor in the Navy. The Charlotte Observer #
yesterday, in referring to this lnatter, had the
following to say:
Very little to do has been made over the
going into effect Of Secretary Daniels order re
moving Whlskey from the Navy. Such criticism
as has been directed against 1t has been of the
light and supposedly funny kind and BY papers
given to that sort Of s1nartness. By the NOR.
thoughtful papers of the country it has been
treated in a becomingly serious manner, and that
means to say, IN commentator. The best edito-
nal thought is embodied in a paragraph in TIE
Philadelphia Record, which says that while there
may be room for some difference Of opinion re-
gaTdlng the necessity for the order. there is no
question whatever that it is too late in the
worlds history tor any man to drink freely, and.
all employers, commercial and governmental,
all. 1t develops that all alcoholic drinks have
been banished from the Norwegian Navy. that
several ships in the British Navy are dry and an
order making all Of them SO is expected. The
Kaiser, the Gar and the officials of the Govern
ments OF France and Germany are directing their
energies to discOuraging the use of liquor. Secre-
tary Daniels will not be disturbed by such crit
clsm as has been directed against him. His name
IS gong to take a prominent place in the future
history OF the country by reason Of the fact tina,
ne was the originator Of the order which ban
lShed liquor from the United States Navy

they fell back through Merbes Saint

thousand English retiring to Jeumont

most determined resistance offered by
the allies After two days continuous
artillery fighting, which swept the sur

most every structure, the entire right

entirely investing the fortress. The
English and French were on August 70
