EDUCATION RECORD
IS DATED TO 1886
People of State Have Been
Interested in Learning
for 241 Years
Daily Dispatch Bureau.
In the Sir Walter Hotel.

By e. &c BASKERVILLE
Raleigh, Oct. 30.-There has been
a definite record of interest in edu-
cation in North Carolina for 241 years
as the first recorded public utterance
in favor of public education in this
State has been found in the court re-
cords of Albemarle county now
Chowan, Perquimans and PaSauotank
cOunties--at the term of court which
met on February &c, 1895, it was point
ed out here today by Lloyd Griffin,
executive secretary of the State
School Commission. This first public
evidence of interest in education in
North Carolina is found in the order
of judge in an indenture proceed
ing, in which he ordered the man to
whom the boy was bound must teach
him to read, Griffin said
The copy Of the court order is to
be found on page 449 of Book One of
Colonial Records, and was found and
called to my attention by Richard
Dixon, of Edenton, Clerk of Court in
Chowan county, Griffin said. This
order was handed down ten years be-
fore the accepted beginning Of edu-
cational history in North Carolina,
with the coming of the first school
teacher to North Carolina in 1905,
when Charles Griffin arrived in what
is now Pasquotank county from Eng
land and started holding schools in
the churches and homes Of the Abe
marie country"
The order handed down on Feb
ruary &C. 1895, and regarded as show
ing the first official interest in edu-
cation in North Carolina, is as fol-
lows:
Upon petition of Thomas Harvey,
it is ordered that William, son Of
Timothy Pead, late of this county, de-
ceased, being left destitute, be bound
to Thomas Harvey, Esq, and his wife
Sarah, until he be at the age Of Fl
and that the said Thomas Harvey
teach him to reade."
Thomas Harvey was large land
owner and lived in what is now Per-
quimans county at or near the place
now known as Harvey's Neck, Grit
fin said.

voting age tptalled about 1000 00o
Subtracting these two classes from
the twenty-one-year-age group would
mean that the number of voters in
1882 amounted to around $4,000, 0O0
Yet approximately only 10000, 600
votes were cast. Readers will be just
as startled as I was to learn that "a
100000 or over one-third, of the vot-
ers in this country were too lazy to
register and to vote in that important
election.
Stay-At-HOme Control Election.
Mr. Roosevelt's plurality four years
ago was just 100000. If the Repub-
lican organization had been able to
get 100000 of the 24,000,000 non-vot-
ers to the polls, they would have
swung the election on a plurality
basis to Mr.. Hoover. Estimates are
already being made as TO how many
votes will be cast on November 8 Of
this year. The president of the Ma
tional Get-Out-The-Vote Club thinks
the total will be between 41,0O0, 900
and 100000. Disregarding the fact
that 100000 more citizens have
reached the "age of reason" since
1882, this estimate would prove ridi-
culously low If every citizen would
exercise his franchise.
The figures which I have quoted
clearly show that the twenty-odd mill
lion stay-at-homes will elect our next
President. The figures also make 1t
plain why astute political managers
work like mad to tap this vast re-
servoirrsof votes on election day. The
party which can get the largest num-
Der of indifferent voters to the polls
is: the one which stands the best
chance of being elected. The weather
man also has something to saw about
