Tones's Article ON the South

to, Mr.. Jones could easily have writ
ten about the South an article that
chambers Of commerce would have de-
lighted to reprint as a bait to tour
lists and settlers-and that without
telling any lies, but merely by judi
cious omissions. Instead. he has at
tempted to present the picture ~ he
sees it, with al its lights and shades.
This is not to say, Of course, that he
is necessarily correct in all his judg-
ments. He is not the universal Wis
itor-there isn't any such creature;
he is an individual, with a distinctly
individual way Of looking at every
thing, and he sets down frankly--and.
as ever with him, entertainingly--his
own Impressions. No two visitors
would react alike to the South or any
other land.

of one penny q gallon on all rum
and other spirituous liquors imported
into the Neuse River. Later the
charter granted to Queens College in
ChaElotte provided for the receipt by
this institution of "sixpence a gallon
on all rum or other spirituous liquors
brought into and disposed Of in Meek
lenburg county for the space Of ten
years." In those days the government
and the people got some of the money
paid for liquor, whereas we have now
so improved conditions that the boot
leggers get it all,
The Moravians in and around
Salem, the settlement which has now
expanded into Winston-Salem, gave
a great impetus to the movement for
public education.
Archibald D. Murphey f1ourished in
the first half Of the 10Th century, and
the document known in educational
circles as Murphey's First Report was
presented to the legislature in 1916.
The next year he made his second re-
port, which, says Mr.. Noble, "for a
full understanding of public education
in all of its details has never been
surpassed in our state and which has
ranked him as the foremost educa-
tional statesman Of the century among
North Carolinians. It is master
piece of constructive and suggestive
thinking and bears on its face the
evidence of careful thought and
patient investigation Of school sys
TENS in this country and in Europe" !"
So much has been said and written
about the struggle for education in
North Carolina since the Civil War
that few people unfamiliar with edu-
cational history know of the progress
that North Carolina was making, in
the way of schools, in the generation
preceding the COS. In its legislation
it was we'll abreast of other states in
the Union, and its leading men were
constantly attentive to educational de-
velopment. A fund bearing the name
of the Literary Fund, with several
sources Of income, was established for
the benefit Of public education, and it
was followed by measures extending
the benefit of public education, and it
was followed by measures extending
the benefits of schooling to an ever
increasing number Of children.
This progress was interrupted by
the War and Reconstruction, and the
groundwork had to be done all over
again, albeit the spirit Of the ante
bellum pioneers-Murphey, Wiley,
Manly, and the rest-persisted like
hidden fame and gave inspiration
to the men who took upon their
shoulders the burden of the new cru
sade.
Mr.. Noble himself, although his
part in it is omitted from the story,
was active in this later movement
along with Charles B. Aycock,
Charles D. McIver, Edwin A. Alder
man, Edward p. Moses, Alexander
Graham. and the other men, burning
with zeal for education, who went
about the state conducting institutes,
helping to train teachers, addressing
public gatherings, pleading before
local government bodies, and doing
everything else in their power to stir
popular enthusiasm and to bring tho
resources Of the state to the aid Of the
schools.

A Histoyy Of the Public Schools Of
North Carolixa, BY N. C. S. Noble.
The Uxiversity of North Carolina
Press, Chapel HUI ;. 1868 PIP. s..
In this volume a man who has spent
his life in teaching and in advancing
the cause Of education-tells the story
Of the rise Of the public schools in his
native state. His opportunities for
first-hand observation from the days
of his early youth, the nature of his
labors, all his surroundings and ira
ditions and associations, his studies
of lifetime, and especially his zeal
for his subject, have equipped him as
probably NO other citizen of the state
is equipped to record the beginnings
and the development Of public educa-
ton in North Carolina.
The narrative possesses throughout
the qualities Of simplicity and thor
oughness and judicious selection, with
the result that it will have a strong
appeal both to the student and the
casual reader. On every page it bears
the marks of painstaking investiga-
tion-which is no surprise to those
who know how Mr.. Noble, during the
last few years, has immersed himself
in the examination of old books and
periodicals and letters and govern
mental documents.
The University Of North Carolina
Press has devoted its usual skill and
care to the details of publication
the paper, the printing, and the bind
ing-with the result that the book
excellent content is we'll matched in
its physical form.
The first chapter tells of the
original efforts at public education by
Episcopal missionaries back in the
early part Of the 17th century when
the region now known as North Caro-
lima was British province. The first
benefciaries Of compulsory educa-
ton were destitute orphans, who, ac-
cording to the law, must be bound out
to someone who would agree to teach
them to read and write. This law was
followed by acts Of the provincial As
sembly which chartered private
schools and gave them, in addition to
certain rights, sites on which to build
schoolhouses. "The granting Of
charters and the giving of sites," says
Mr.. Noble in his preface, was called
encouraging education because with
this aid cheaper tuition was made
possible for would-be patrons. These
two practices-educating INDECENT or
phans and encouraging private schools
expanded slowly with the years
until they met each other, merged and
blended into a single system of free
public schools supported by taxation
for the children Of all classes, rich
and poor alike. The story of the ex-
pansion and final union Of these two
forces, originally 50 different in their
objectives, the one making for the
education Of the INDECENT orphans and
the other for the education Of the re-
latively rich, is the story that ! have
endeavored to tell in this book"
Edenton's school established in ITO
was aided by gifts and lots from the
public purse, but in the act authoriz-
ing these nothing was said about tax
alton. The first public school to
which even partial support was given
by taxation was in New Bern, and
the support was in the form Of q tax
