SUMMARY  AND  BRIEF  OUTLINE  OF  TWO  YEARS'  PROGRESS  IN 

EDUCATION. 


The  following  summary  aud  brief  outline  of  the  progress  in  yublic  etlucation 
for  the  biennial  period  beginning  July  1,  1008,  and  ending  June  30,  1010,  is 
based  upon  the  official  reports  on  tile  in  the  office  of  the  Superintendent  of 
Public  Instruction,  and  can  be  verified  in  detail  by  the  published  statistical 
reports  of  this  biennial  period. 

Increase  in  School  Funds. — The  total  available  school  fund  for  the  year 
ending  June  30,  lOlO,  was  $3,550,575.06.  This  is  an  increase  of  $250,343.30  over 
the  total  available  school  fund  for  1008.  Of  this  total  available  school  fund 
for  1010,  $2.(;31.0(;2.17  was  raised  by  State  and  county  taxation  and  appropria- 
tion, and  $877,899.01  was  raised  by  local  taxation  in  special-tax  districts,  of 
which  $.580,885.28  was  raised  in  urban  districts  aud  $206,014.63  in  rural  dis- 
tricts. This  is  an  increase  in  1910  over  1008  of  $157,101.33  in  the  amount 
raised  by  local  taxation  in  rural  districts  and  $69,800.18  raised  by  local  taxa- 
tion in  urban  districts. 

Of  the  total  available  school  fund  for  1910,  $2,377,652.47  was  the  rural 
school  fund  and  $1,172,012.50  the  urban  school  fund.  In  percentage  there  has 
been  an  increase  of  112  per  cent  in  the  funds  raised  by  local  taxation  in  rural 
districts,  and  13  per  cent  in  the  funds  raised  by  local  taxation  in  urban  dis- 
tricts, and  13  per  cent  in  the  annual  available  fund  raised  by  general  State 
and  county  taxation  and  appropriation  in  1010  over  1008. 

Excluding  bonds,  loans.  State  appropriations,  and  balance  from  previous 
year,  the  whole  amount  raised  by  taxation  for  public  schools  during  1010  was 
$2,657,372.83,  an  increase  of  $283,456.22  over  1008.  The  rural  increase  in 
funds  x-aised  by  taxation  in  1910  over  1908  was  $216,057.57,  the  city  increase 
$67,308.65.  These  figures  show  that  during  1010  $3.58  was  raised  for  each 
child  of  school  age  enumerated  in  our  State  school  census ;  $2.88  for  each 
child  outside  of  the  cities  and  towns,  and  $6.80  for  each  child  within  the  cities 
and  towns.  This  was  a  per  capita  increase  in  1910  over  1908  of  29  cents  for 
each  country  child  of  school  age,  and  44  cents  for  each  city  child  of  school 
age. 

These  comparisons  are  made  between  the  last  year  of  this  biennial  period 
and  the  last  year  of  the  preceding  biennial  period,  so  as  to  indicate  the  prog- 
ress of  the  i)eri()d.  The  figures  for  the  year  1000  can  be  easily  ascertained 
from  the  published  statistical  reports  herein,  and  the  relative  progress  of  1010 
over  lOOf)  can  easily  be  ascertained. 

For  What  the  Money  was  Spent. — With  this  increase  in  the  available  funds 
for  educational  purposes,  there  has  been  during  the  period  a  corresponding 
increase  in  those  things  which  can  be  provided  only  by  increased  funds. 
There  has  been  an  increase  of  $585,745  in  the  value  of  rural  school  property 
and  $3.50,912  in  the  value  of  urban  sthool  property,  making  a  total  increase 
of  $945,657  in  the  total  value  of  the  public  school  property  of  the  State. 
There  has  been  expended  during  the  period  $667,605.02  for  building,  improv- 
ing, and  equipping  public  school  houses.  Seven  hundred  and  twenty-five  new 
rural  schoolhouses  have  been  built  at  an  average  cost  of  $705..56.  There  has 
been  an  increase  of  601  in  the  number  of  houses  equipped  with  patent  desks, 
and  $141,683.85  has  been  expended  during  the  biennial  period  for  school 
furniture. 


8  Two  Ykars'  Progress. 

Four  and  six-tenths  days  have  been  added  to  the  average  annual  school 
term  of  the  white  schools  of  the  State,  and  .7  day  to  the  average  annual 
school  term  of  the  colored  schools  of  the  State,  3.5  days  to  the  white  rural 
school  term,  and  9.7  days  to  the  white  city  school  term.  In  the  newly  estab- 
lished local-tax  districts,  of  course,  the  school  term  has  been  greatly  lengthened 
and  in  many  instances  doubled.  There  has  been  an  increase  of  594  in  the 
number  of  white  teachers  employed,  and  18  in  the  number  of  colored  teachers 
employed.  There  has  been  an  increase  of  .$10.92  in  the  average  annual  salary 
of  white  teachers,  and  $5.21  in  the  average  annual  salary  of  colored  teachers. 
The  average  annual  salary  of  rural  teachers  has  been  increased  $13.88. 
There  has  been  a  necessary  increase  in  the  expenses  of  collecting,  expending, 
and  administering  a  larger  fund,  and  an  increase  in  the  current  expenses  for 
longer  terms  with  more  schoolrooms  and  teachers. 

The  total  expenditures  for  all  schools  during  1910  was  .$3,178,950.50,  which 
represents  an  increase  of  $220,790.31  over  1908 — an  increase  of  $250,469.45  in 
rural  expenditures,  and  a  decrease  of  $29,679.14  in  urban  expenditures.  Of 
this  increase,  rural  teachers  and  superintendents  received  $192,194.18.  and 
urban  teachers  and  superintendents  $85,053.60.  The  increased  expenditures 
for  administration,  including  treasurer's  commissions,  the  expenses  of  boards 
of  education,  school  committeemen,  and  taking  census,  was  $6,138.67  for  rural 
schools,  and  $452.73  for  city  schools.  The  increase  in  expenditures  for  all 
other  purposes,  including  overchai'ges  arising  from  overestimates  of  poll  tax. 
errors  in  treasurers"  commissions,  etc.,  borrowed  money  for  building,  teachers' 
salaries,  etc.,  repaid  out  of  collected  taxes,  was  $5,255.80  for  rural  schools ;  and 
there  was  an  increase  of  $99,424.09  for  public  high  schools.  This  last  item, 
however,  does  not  represent  the  percentage  of  gi'owth,  as  a  separate  report  was 
made  in  1908  of  all  high-school  expenditures,  except  county  appropiiations. 
The  increase  is  based  on  that.  There  was  a  decrease  in  tbe  amounts  spent 
for  a  few  items,  namely,  buildings  and  supplies,  and  loans,  in  particular. 
When  this  is  accounted  for  and  taken  from  the  items  of  increase  above,  the 
net  gain  in  expenditures  for  the  State  is  $220,790.31. 

Increase  in  Value  of  School  Property.- — In  1910  the  total  value  of  school 
property  of  the  State  was  $5,802,969.  Of  this  amount  the  value  of  rural 
school  property  was  $3,094,416,  and  the  value  of  city  school  property  was 
$2,768,553.  This  is  an  increase  in  1910  over  1908  of  $945,057  in  the  total 
value  of  all  school  i)roperty.  of  which  $585,745  is  the  increase  in  the  value  of 
rural  school  property  and  $359,912  the  increase  in  the  value  of  city  school 
property.  The  value  of  white  school  property  in  1910  was  $5,185,521,  of 
which  $2,700,911  was  rural  and  $2,478,010  was  city.  The  value  of  colored 
school  propertj'  was  $677,448,  of  which  $387,505  was  rural  and  $289,943  was 
city.  The  percentage  of  increase  in  the  valuation  of  school  jiroperty  during 
the  biennial  period  is  19  per  cent — 23  per  cent  rural  and  15  per  cent  urban. 

In  1910  there  were  7.609  schoolhouses  in  the  Stat(^-7.350  rural  and  2.59 
ui'ban ;  5,150  rural  white  and  109  urban  white.  2,194  rural  colored  and  90 
urban  colore<l.  The  average  value  of  each  rural  white  house  was  $525;  the 
average  value  of  each  city  white  house  was  $14,606;  the  average  value  of 
each  rural  coloretl  house  was  $176;  the  average  value  of  each  city  colored 
house  was  $3,221.  There  has  been  an  increase  of  $100  in  the  average  value 
of  each  white  rural  schoolhouse  and  of  $20  in  the  average  value  of  each 
colored    rural    schoolhouse    in    1910   over    190S.     During    the    biennial    period 


Two  Years'  Progress.  9 

$533,872.1(5  was  expended  for  rural  school  buildings  and  sites,  and  $239,781.10 
for  urban  school  buildings  and  sites — $482,714.74  for  rural  white  and  $51,157.42 
for  rural  colored ;  $210,804.19  for  urban  white  and  $28,970.91  for  urban  colored. 

New  Schoolhouses  Built. — During  the  biennial  period,  725  new  rural  school- 
houses  have  been  built — 564  white  and  1(51  colored — at  a  cost  of  $511,530.58. 
A  total  of  725  new  schoolhouses  for  this  bieiuiial  period  means  an  average  of 
one  new  house  for  each  day  of  each  year,  Sundays  included.  This  pace  of 
building  a  new  schoolhouse  for  every  day  in  the  year,  according  to  approved 
plans  of  modern  school  architecture,  prepared  by  most  competent  architects 
and  distributed  from  the  office  of  the  State  Superintendent  of  Public  Instruc- 
tion, has  been  maintained  for  the  past  eight  years. 

Increase  in  School  Furniture  and  Equipment. — During  this  biennial  period 
.f229,450.40  has  been  expended  for  school  furniture  and  necessary  equipment, 
an  increase  of  $01,981  in  the  expenditures  for  this  purpose  over  the  preceding 
l)iennial  period.  In  1910  there  were  2,170  rural  schoolhouses  equipped  with 
modern  school  furniture — 2,022  white  and  148  colored — an  increase  of  535 
white  and. GO  colored  over  1908.  Four  thousand  one  hundred  and  twenty-six 
rural  schoolhouses  were  reported  furnished  with  home-made  desks — 2,791 
white  and  1,335  colored. 

Increase  in  Local-tax  Districts  and  Funds  Raised  by  Local  Taxation. — Dur- 
ing this  biennial  period,  288  local-tax  districts  have  been  established  by  volun- 
tary vote  of  the  people  in  rural  communities  and  small  towns,  an  average  of 
2.8  districts  a  week  for  each  week  in  each  year.  This  is  an  increase  of  59 
local-tax  districts  over  the  preceding  biennial  period,  and  makes  a  total  of  995 
local-tax  districts  in  the  State  on  July  1,  1910. 

In  1910,  $877,899.91,  about  23  per  cent  of  the  total  annual  school  fund, 
was  raised  by  local  taxation,  $296,914.03  in  rural  districts  and  $580,885.28  in 
urban  districts.  All  counties  of  the  State,  except  three,  now  have  from  1  to 
47  local-tax  districts  each,  levying  special  taxes  therein  to  supplement  their 
apportionments  from  the  State  and  county  fund  for  longer  terms,  better  houses 
and  equipment,  better  teachers  paid  better  salaries,  for  better  schools. 

Increase  in  Enrollment  and  Attendance. — The  increase  in  the  school  census 
of  1910  over  that  of  1908  was  19,452—13,102  white  and  0,290  colored.  The 
increase  in  the  school  enrollment  was  22,088 — 13,540  white  and  9,142  colored. 
The  increase  in  average  daily  attendance  was  22,847 — 15,501  white  and  7,346 
colored.  These  figures  indicate  that  the  increase  in  enrollment  and  average 
daily  attendance  is  more  than  keeping  pace  with  the  increase  in  the  school 
population,  especially  in  the  white  schools. 

Increase  in  Length  of  School  Term  and  in  the  Average  Salary  of  Teachers. 
In  1910  the  average  length  of  school  term  in  rural  white  schools  was  92.7  days, 
in  the  city  white  schools  175.2  days,  and  in  all  white  schools  of  the  State  104.6 
days ;  in  the  rural  colored  schools  81J  days ;  in  the  city  colored  schools  1(54.8 
days,  and  in  all  colored  schools  of  the  State  93.7  days.  This  is  an  increase 
over  1908  of  3.5  days  in  the  average  length  of  the  school  term  in  the  rural 
white  schools,  9.7  days  in  the  city  white  schools,  4.6  days  in  all  white  schools 
of  the  State;  a  decrease  of  .4  day  in  rural  colored  schools,  an  increase  of  1.7 
days  in  city  colored  schools,  and  an  increase  of  .7  day  in  all  colored  schools  of 
the  State.  The  average  length  of  school  term  in  the  white  rural  local-tax 
school  districts  is  129  days. 


10  Two  Years'  Progress. 

Taking  these  figures  as  a  basis  of  calculation,  it  will  be  seen  that  the  average 
monthly  salary  of  white  rural  teachers  in  1910  was  $34.47,  an  increase  of 
$2.23  over  1908.  The  average  monthly  salary  of  white  city  teachers  was  $42.72, 
a  decrease  of  $2.32  from  190S.  The  average  monthly  salary  of  rural  colored 
teachers  was  $23.48,  an  increase  of  $1  over  1908 ;  the  average  monthly  salary  of 
city  colored  teachers  was  $30.64,  an  increase  of  44  cents  over  1908. 

As  stated  above,  tliere  has  been  an  increase  of  612  in  the  number  of  teachers 
employed — 594  white  and  IS  colored. 

Improvement  in  Teachers'  Institutes  and  Other  Facilities  for  Teacher- 
training. — Under  amendments  to  the  school  law  by  the  General  Assembly  of 
1909,  a  two-weeks  teachers'  institute  was  made  mandatory  in  every  county 
biennially.  Teachers'  institutes  were  held  in  30  counties  in  1809  and  in  60 
counties  in  1910,  attended  by  6,553  teachers.  With  the  aid  of  the  Super- 
visor of  Teacher-training,  also  made  possible  by  an  amendment  to  the  law  in 
1909,  the  work  of  the  county  teachers'  institutes  and  the  county  teachers'  as- 
sociations has  been  organized  and  systematized,  and,  through  teachers'  reading 
circles,  a  valuable  course  of  home  study  and  home  training  for  the  professional 
improvement  of  the  rank  and  file  of  the  teachers  is  being  successfully  con- 
ducted. Teachers'  associations,  holding  moTuthly  meetings,  are  in  successful 
operation  in  91  counties.  3Iost  of  these  associations  have  also  organized 
teachers'  reading  circles  for  pursuing  the  prescribed  course  of  professional 
reading. 

A  trained  man  and  a  trained  woman  have  been  appointed  to  conduct  each  of 
these  county  teachers'  institutes.  All  institute  workers  have  been  required  to 
attend  a  conference  of  three  or  four  days  with  the  State  Superintendent  and 
the  Supervisor  of  Teacher-training,  for  the  discussion  of  their  worli  and  the 
arrangement  of  uniform  and  definite  plans  of  work,  before  beginning  the  insti- 
tutes, and  have  been  furnished  with  bulletins  containing  definite  outlines  and 
approved  suggestions  for  the  work  of  the  institutes.  Under  this  plan,  there  hns 
been  marked  progress  in  the  organization  and  direction  of  this  institute  work. 
It  has  been  uniform,  practical,  and  progressive,  with  more  teaching  and  demon- 
stration and  less  lecturing,  with  more  emphasis  on  the  essential  subjects  and 
less  on  the  frills. 

The  reports  received  from  these  institutes  have  been  the  most  encouraging 
ever  received  by  the  State  Superintendent.  They  have  been  more  largely 
attended  and  the  teachers  have  been  more  interested  and  benefited  than  ever 
before.  A  fuller  report  "of  this  institute  and  teacher-training  work,  by  the 
Supervisor  of  Teacher-training,  is  printed  elsewhere  in  this  Report.  An  attempt 
has  been  made,  with  encouraging  success,  to  correlate  and  coordinate  the  work 
of  these  agencies  for  home  study  and  professional  improvement  of  teachers — 
the  teachers'  institute,  the  county  teachers'  association,  and  reading  circles,  to 
plan  the  work  so  as  to  make  it  more  progressive  and  continuous  from  year  to 
year.  XortJi  Carolina  Education,  our  ofiicial  State  teachers'  journal,  is  heartily 
cooperating  and  rendering  valuable  assistance  in  carrying  on  this  work. 

Improvement  in  County  Supervision. — There  has  been  an  increase  in  the 
number  of  county  superintendents  giving  their  entire  time  to  the  work  of  super- 
vision and  an  increase  in  the  time  devoted  to  their  work  by  nearly  all  other 
county  superintendents.  Forty-three  county  superintendents  now  devote  their 
entire  time  to  their  work.  The  county  superintendents  are  thoroughly 
organized  into  a  State  and  district  associations,  holding  annual  meetings  for 


Two  Years'  Progress.  11 

the  dismssiou  with  each  other  and  with  the  State  Saperiiitencleut  of  thoir  coiii- 
mou  problems,  for  au  exchange  of  views  and  experiences,  for  umtual  counsel 
aud  adA'ice,  and  for  the  forming  of  plans  for  carrying  on  more  uniformly  and 
successfully  the  great  work  of  educating  all  the  people  in  the  schools  of  all  the 
people.  It  has  seemed  to  me  that  during  this  biennial  period  the  county  super- 
intendents have  improved  in  the  efficient  and  intelligent  discharge  of  their 
duties,  and  that,  on  the  whole,  they  have  manifested  a  fine  spirit  of  loyalty  and 
devotion  to  their  work.  Much  progress  has  been  made  in  the  organization, 
training,  and  direction  of  their  teaching  force  and  in  the  systematization,  clas- 
sification, and  gradation  of  the  work  in  the  rural  schools. 

Progress  in  Rural  Public  High  Schools. — During  the  biennial  period  14  new 
public  high  schools  have  been  established,  making  a  total  of  170  such  schools  in 
87  counties  of  the  State.  There  are,  therefore,  now  only  11  comities  that  do  not 
have  one  or  more  of  these  schools.  The  annual  State  appropriation  for  their 
maintenance  was  increased  $5,000  in  1900,  making  the  total  annual  State  ap- 
propriation for  them  $50,000.  During  the  biennial  period  $240,040.51  has  been 
expended  for  the  maintenance  of  these  schools. 

The  total'  enrollment  of  country  boys  and  girls  in  them  has  been  5,282  in 
1909,  and  5,775  in  1910,  a  total  of  11,057  for  the  biennial  period — 5,182  boys  and 
5,875  girls.  This  is  au  increase  of  1,82G  in  the  total  enrollment  of  1910  over 
,  the  enrollment  of  1908,  an  increase  of  41  per  cent  in  enrollment.  There  has 
been  an  average  daily  attendance  of  3,787  in  1909,  and  4,145  in  1910.  The 
percentage  of  enrollment  in  average  daily  attendance  has  been  71  per  cent  for 
the  two  years. 

In  connection  with  some  of  these  high  schools,  dormitories  have  been  built 
and  equipped,  in  which  high-school  students  can  secure  board  at  actual  cost  and^ 
pay  for  it  in  money  or  in  provisions  at  the  market  price. 

These  figures  show  an  encouraging  increase  in  enrollment  and  attendance 
upon  these  public  high  schools,  indicating  a  commendable  growth  in  public  sen- 
timent among  the  rural  population  for  high-school  education,  for  the  elevation 
of  the  average  of  intelligence,  and  for  better  preparation  for  citizenship  and 
service.  A  full  report  of  these  public  high  schools,  prepared  by  the  State 
Inspector  of  Public  High  Schools,  is  printed  in  another  part  of  thi^  Report. 

Increase  in  Rural  Libraries.^ — During  the  biennial  period  528  new  rural  libra- 
ries have  been  established,  costing  $1G,S40,  containing  an  average  of  about  100 
volumes  of  well-selected  books.  Seventy-six  new  supplemental  libraries  have 
been  added  to  libraries  formerly  established,  costing  $1,140,  adding  about  35 
books  to  each  of  these  libraries.  The  total  number  of  rural  libraries  in  the 
State  at  the  close  of  the  biennial  period  was  2.420,  the  total  number  of  sup- 
plemental libraries  428.  More  than  one-thii'd  of  all  the  school  districts  in  the 
State,  white  and  colored,  are  now  provided  with  rural  libraries. 

Loan  Fund  for  Building  Schoolhouses. — During  the  biennial  period  the  total 
amount  of  new  loans  made  from  the  ^tate  Loan  Fund  for  Building  and  Im- 
proving Public  School  Houses  is  $122,000  to  65  counties,  for  building  and 
improving  houses,  A-alued  at  $290,49.5.  The  total  amount  of  loans  made  from 
this  Loan  Fund  since  its  establishment  in  1903  aggregates  $523,280.50  to  89 
counties,  for  building  and  improving  995  houses,  valued  at  $1,265,788. 

This  fund  continues  to  be  of  incalculable  service  in  building  and  improving 
public  school  houses,  the  loans  from  it  often  making  possible  at  once  much 
needed  new  houses  where  they  would  not  otherwise  be  possible  without  clo.s- 


12  Two  Years'  Progress, 

ing  the  schools  and  using  the  entire  apportionment  to  the  district  for  one 
or  more  j^ears  for  building.  A  timely  loan  from  this  fund  also  often  means 
to  a  district  the  difference  between  a  poor,  cheap  house,  and  a  good,  properly- 
constructed  house.  A  full  detailed  report  of  the  Loan  Fund  is  printed  else- 
where in  this  Report. 

Enlargement  of  the  Work  of  the  State  Department  of  Public  Instruction. 
The  work  of  this  Department  has  been  enlarged  and  increased  in  efficiency : 
First,  by  the  addition  of  a  trained  man  as  Insiiector  and  Supervisor  of  Ele- 
mentary Rural  Schools,  working  under  the  direction  of  the  State  Superintend- 
ent and  in  cooperation  with  him  and  the  county  superintendents  for  the 
improvement  of  these  schools,  giving  his  entire  time  to  a  careful  investigation 
and  study  of  their  conditions,  their  needs,  and  means  of  improving  them.  His 
salary  and  expenses  are  generously  provided  out  of  the  Peabody  Fund. 

Second,  by  the  addition  of  a  trained,  experienced,  professional  teaclier  as 
supervisor  of  the  teacher-training  work  of  the  Department,  giving  his  entire 
time  to  the  supervision  and  direction  of  the  work  of  the  county  teachers' 
institutes,  the  county  teachers'  associations,  the  teachers'  reading  circles,  and 
to  the  general  supervision  of  the  three  State  Colored  Normal  Schools  and 
the  Croatan  Indian  Normal  School. 

Third,  by  the  addition  of  a  competent  man  of  special  training  and  experience 
as  supervisor  of  the  agricultural  work  in  the  public  schools,  woi'king  in 
cooperation  with  the  State  College  of  Agriculture  and  Mechanic  Arts,  the 
State  Department  of  Agriculture,  and  the  Demonstration  Department  of  the 
United  States  Department  of  Agriculture,  and  giving  his  entire  time,  in 
cooperation  with  the  State  Superintendent  and  the  county  superintendents,  to 
the  organization  and  direction  of  Boys'  Corn  Clubs,  the  stimulation  of  agri- 
cultural instruction  in  the  public  schools,  the  cultivation  of  public  sentiment  for 
agricultural  and  industrial  education.  His  salary  and  expenses  are  gener- 
ously provided  by  the  General  Education  Board. 

As  will  appear  from  reports  of  their  work  elsewhere,  all  of  these  men  have 
proved  most  valuable  additions  to  the  educational  force  of  the  State  Depart- 
ment, and  made  most  valuable  contributions  to  the  educational  work  of  the 
State. 

Boys'  Corn  Clubs  and  Increased  Interest  in  Agricultural  Instruction. — 
With  the  aid  of  Prof.  I.  O.  Schaub,  Supervisor  of  Agricultural  Extension  Work 
in  the  Public  Schools,  and  the  active  cooperation  of  county  superintendents  and 
public  school  teachers.  Boys'  Corn  Clubs  have  been  organized  in  60  counties, 
enrolling  l,.57o  boys.     The  following  is  an  extract  from  Mr.  Schaub's  report : 

"Eighty-five  boys  made  over  75  bushels  of  corn  per  acre  and  will  win  one  of 
the  Governor's  certificates.  One  boy  made  146  bushels  at  a  cost  of  $40.20,  and 
won  the  free  trip  to  Washington,  where  he  was  presented  with  a  certificate 
from  the  United  States  Department  of  Agriculture.  Most  of  the  county  super- 
intendents have  cooperated  heartily  and  deserve  great  credit  for  the  success 
of  the  work." 

Practical  Instruction  in  Public  Health  and  Hygiene. — With  the  valuable 
assistance  and  cooperation  of  the  State  Board  of  Health  and  its  eflBcient  and 
energetic  secretary  and  assistant  secretaries,  much  valuable  work  has  been 
done  in  the  public  schools  in  increasing  interest  and  giving  instruction  in 
public  health  and  hygiene.  Bulletins,  dealing  in  a  concise,  simple,  and  practical 
way  with  the  simple  hygienic  law's  affecting  the  everyday  life  of  the  child 


Two  Years'  Progress.  13 

and  the  people,  have  been  prepared  under  the  direction  of  the  Secretary  of  the 
State  Board  of  Health,  and  printed  and  distributed  to  teachers  of  the  State 
by  the  State  Department  of  Public  Instruction.  A  list  of  these  bulletins  will 
be  found  under  Educational  Literature. 

Directions  have  been  given  to  the  teachers,  through  the  county  superintend- 
ents, to  make  use  of  these  bulletins  for  the  systematic  instruction  of  the  chil- 
dren of  their  schools  in  public  health  and  hygiene,  and  to  give  to  the  entire 
school  at  least  three  brief  health  talks  a  week,  the  information  for  which, 
progressively  and  logically  arranged,  has  been  furuishe<.l  them  in  the  Health 
Talks  Bulletin.  Teachers  have  also  been  notified  that  they  will  be  held  respon- 
sible for  this  work,  and  will  be  examined  on  the  contents  of  these  health  bul- 
letins as  a  part  of  their  regular  examination  in  physiology  and  hygiene  for 
teachers'  certificates. 

This  health  and  hygiene  work  is  a  long  step  forward  toward  the  improvement 
of  sanitary  conditions  and  public  health  in  the  rural  districts.  County  superin- 
tendents and  public-school  teachers  have  responded  intelligently  and  enthusi- 
astically to  the  call  for  it.  Emphasis  was  laid  upon  this  worli  in  the  county 
teachers'  institutes  and  special  attention  is  being  given  to  it  in  tlie  county 
teachers'  associations. 

By  addresses  and  tallvs  to  teachers  and  to  the  general  public,  the  secretary 
and  the  assistant  secretary  to  the  State  Board  of  Health  and  the  physicians  of 
the  State  generally  are  aiding  greatly  in  this  campaign  for  the  instruction  of 
the  children  and  the  people  of  the  State  in  public  health  and  hygiene  and  in 
the  cultivation  of  public  sentiment  therefor.  It  is  impossible  to  calculate  how 
much  can  be  done,  through  simple  instruction,  line  upon  line,  precept  upon 
precept,  for  the  rising  generation  in  the  public  schools  for  the  prevention  and 
eradication  of  typhoid  fever,  tuberculosis,  hookworm  disease,  scarlet  fever, 
smallpox,  diphtheria,  and  other  preventable  diseases  that  constitute  the  chief 
scourges  of  our  population.  The  sentiment  is  rapidly  growing  and  the  demand 
rapidly  increasing  that  such  instruction  shall  be  made  an  essential  and  organic 
part  of  our  educational  work. 

Campaign  for  Education.— The  campaign  for  education,  by  bulletins,  through 
the  press,  and  by  public  addresses,  has  been  carried  on  without  cessation.  The 
State  Superintendent  has  used  all  the  time  that  he  could  spare  from  his  work 
ill  the  office  for  field  work  and  educational  campaign  work.  Through  the 
continuance  of  the  generous  aid  of  the  Southern  Education  Board,  in  pro- 
viding funds  for  the  payment  of  their  expenses,  strong  spealvers,  who  gen- 
erously contributed  their  services,  have  been  sent  to  every  community  asking 
for  the  agitation  of  the  question  of  local  taxation  and  the  consolidation  of 
schools,  and  to  communities  in  which  elections  on  the  question  of  local  taxation 
for  public  schools  were  pending.  Among  these  speakers  have  been  represent- 
ative teachers,  editors,  lawyers,  preachers,  business  men.  public  officials,  and 
others.  The  campaign  has  been  under  the  direction  of  the  Campaign  Com- 
mittee for  the  Promotion  of  Public  Education  in  North  Carolina,  of  which 
the  State  Superintendent  of  Public  Instruction  is  chairman,  and  Hon.  C.  H. 
Mebane,  of  the  State  Department  of  Public  Instruction,  is  secretary.  Exclusive 
of  the  large  number  of  educational  addresses  by  the  State  Superintendent  of 
Public  Instruction,  under  the  direction  of  the  committee,  120  educational 
addresses  have  been  made  in  65  counties  during  the  past  two  years. 

In  many  counties,   of  course,  enthusiastic  and  consecrated  county  superin- 


14  Two  Years'  Progress. 

tendents  have  carried  on  almost  continuously  effective  campaigns  for  public 
education  and  scliool  improvement,  by  personal  work,  public  addresses,  circular- 
letters,  newspaper  articles,  etc.  In  this  work  many  of  them  have  been  assisted 
by  consecrated  teachers  and  public-spirited  citizens  of  all  classes  and  vocations. 
After  all,  the  most  effective  part  of  this  campaign  is  that  carried  on  from 
year's  end  to  year's  end,  without  blare  of  trumpets,  in  the  county,  under  the 
direction  of  an  efficient  county  superintendent  of  common  sense  and  conse- 
cration. 

Woman's  Association  for  the  Betterment  of  Public  School  Houses  and 
Grounds. — With  the  aid  of  funds  generously  donated  from  the  Peabody  Fund. 
Mrs.  Charles  D.  Mclver  has  been  employed  during  the  past  two  years  as  field 
secretary  of  the  Woman's  Betterment  Association,  giving  her  entire  time  and 
her  devoted  service  to  this  work.  Marked  progress  has  been  made.  Many  new 
county  associations  have  been  organized.  Through  the  unselfish  work  of  the 
patriotic  women  of  the  State,  county  and  local  associations,  thousands  of  dol- 
lars have  been  raised  for  the  improvement  of  schoolhouses  and  grounds,  and 
much  valuable  voluntary  service  that  cannot  be  measured  in  dollars  and  cents 
has  been  rendered  in  making  the  schoolrooms  and  the  school  grounds  more 
beautiful  and  attractive,  and  in  cultivating  public  sentiment  and  public  interest 
for  the  betterment  of  the  public  schools.  Many  county  superintendents,  public 
school  teachers,  county  boards  of  education,  and  school  committeemen  have 
given  their  hearty  cooperation  to  the  women  in  this  work. 

In  the  county  of  Wake  alone,  $6,021.18  was  raised  during  the  year  1910  by 
the  women  of  the  Betterment  Association  for  the  improvement  of  the  public 
schools.  In  many  districts  the  women  secured  the  cultivation  of  the  school 
farms  in  cotton  and  tobacco,  making  hundreds  of  dollars  for  the  schools ;  and, 
in  some  instances,  the  women  of  the  association  picked  the  cotton  with  their 
own  hands.  If  space  permitted,  interesting  and  inspiring  reports  of  similar 
work  in  other  counties  could  be  made. 

Important  Educational  Legislation. — The  General  Assembly  of  1909  increased 
the  annual  State  appropriation  for  public  schools  $25,000,  without  a  dissenting 
vote  in  either  branch  of  the  General  Assembly.  The  State  appropriation  for 
public  high  schools  was  increased  $5,000.  The  law  was  amended,  changing  the 
method  of  apportioning  the  special  annual  State  appropriation  of  $100,000  to 
equalize  school  terms  and  secure  a  four-months  school  term  in  every  public- 
school  district,  so  as  to  require  all  counties  receiving  aid  from  this  appropria- 
tion to  levj^  and  collect  a  special  tax  on  all  property  and  polls  of  the  county 
sufficient  to  provide  one-half  the-  deficit  needed  for  a  four-months  school,  except 
that  the  special  tax  levied  for  this  purpose  was  limited  to  a  maximum  of  5 
cents  on  the  $100  valuation  of  property  and  15  cents  on  the  poll,  and  counties 
levying  this  maximum  are  entitled  to  receive  all  the  balance  needed  for  a  four- 
months  school.  This  required  special  tax  has  increased  the  annual  school  fund 
for  a  four-months  term  in  the  weak  counties  about  $105,9G9.GT. 

The  terms  of  the  members  of  the  county  boards  of  education  were  changed  to 
two,  four,  and  six  years,  respectively,  so  as  to  have  the  term  of  only  one 
member  expiring  every  two  years,  instead  of  having  the  terms  of  all  three  mem- 
bers expiring  every  two  years,  thereby  retaining  a  majority  of  old,  experienced 
members  of  the  board  each  year,  preventing  the  possibility  of  a  radical  change 
in  the  educational  policy  of  the  county  every  two  years  and  the  danger  of  mis- 
takes from  the  administration  of  school  affairs  by  new  and  inexperienced  men. 


Two  Yeaks^  Progress.  15 

Under  this  hnv,  tbe  eouuty  board  of  education  will  have  at  all  times,  unless 
they  should  resign,  at  least  two  members  of  not  less  than  two  years'  experi- 
ence in  the  management  of  the  public  schools.  This  ought  to  contribute  to  the 
permanency,  continuity,  and  progress  of  the  educational  work  of  each  county, 
and  aid  in  removing  the  county  school  system  further  from  i)artisan  and  fac- 
tional politics  every  two  years. 

An  amendment  was  made  to  the  county  institute  law,  making  a  county 
teachers'  institute  in  every  county  mandatory  biennially,  and  not  oftener.  Pro- 
vision was  also  made  for  increasing  the  salary  and  enlarging  the  duties  of  the 
Superintendent  of  the  State  Colored  and  Croatan  Indian  Normal  Schools,  add- 
ing to  his  duties  the  supervision  and  direction,  in  cooperation  with  the  State 
Superintendent,  of  the  entire  teacher-training  work  of  the  State  Department  of 
Public  Instruction,  including  the  county  teachers'  institute  work,  the  county 
teachers'  association  work,  the  teachers'  reading  circles,  etc. 

The  rural  library  law  was  so  amended  as  to  allow  the  use  of  the  accumulated 
balance  of  the  biennial  appropriation  for  supplemental  libraries  at  the  end  of 
each  biennial  period  for  the  establishment  of  new  rural  libraries. 

The  compulsory  attendance  law  of  1907  was  so  amended  as  to  allow  com- 
pulsory attendance  to  be  ordered  by  the  county  board  of  education,  in  its  dis- 
cretion, under  the  provisions  of  the  act,  upon  petition  of  a  majority  of  the 
parents  of  children  of  school  age,  without  the  delay,  the  expense,  the  trouble, 
or  the  friction  of  an  election ;  and  further,  so  as  to  authorize  the  county  board 
of  education,  of  its  own  motion,  to  order  compulsory  attendance,  without  peti- 
tion or  election,  in  districts  in  which  the  em*ollment  and  daily  attendance  fall 
below  a  certain  per  cent,  thereby  furnishing  prima  facie  evidence  of  the  need 
of  it  and  of  such  indifference  to  education  and  lack  of  interest  in  it  in  those 
districts  as  would  render  it  unlikely  that  it  could  be  secured  by  petition  or 
election. 

To  sum  up,  the  important  educational  legislation  of  the  period  increased  the 
public  school  fund  by  special  appropriation  from  the  State  Treasury  and  special 
county  taxation ;  provided  a  more  satisfactory,  more  efficient,  and  more  etiuita- 
ble  method  of  distributing  the  second  .$100,000  for  a  four-months  school,  guar- 
anteeing thereby  a  full  and  efficient  school  term  in  every  district;;  rendered 
more  effective  the  compulsory  attendance  act  of  1907 ;  greatly  improved  the 
provisions  for  the  home  training  of  teachers;  increased  the  efficiency  of  the 
educational  administration  of  the  county  by  changing  the  terms  of  office  of  the 
members  of  the  county  boards  of  education. 

Educational  Literature. — During  the  two  years  the  following  educational 
literature  has  been  prepared  and  sent  out  from  the  Superintendent's  office :

Besides  the  foregoing,  blanks  covering  every  phase  of  school  organization 
and  work  have  been  sent  out.  These  have  aided  all  school  officials  in  keeping 
their  records  and  making  accurate  reports  of  the  work  done.  The  eiTorts  along 
this  line  have  secured  the  gradation  of  at  least  three-fourths  of  all  the  rural 
schools,  which  means  a  great  saving  of  time  to  the  children  who  attend  these 
schools. 


RECOMMENDATIONS. 


To  aid  iu  the  accomplishment  of  some  of  the  work  here  outiiued  lor  the 
progress  and  development  of  the  public  school  system,  I  beg  to  make  the  fol- 
lowing recommendations : 

1.  That  there  shall  be  no  radical  changes  in  the  present  general  public 
school  law.  Some  additions  seem  to  be  necessary,  but  there  should  be  no 
more  changes  than  are  absolutely  necessary.  The  people  and  the  school  offi- 
cers are  beginning  to  become  acquainted  with  the  law  and  to  be  familiar 
with  its  workings.  It  will  be  wise  to  seek  to  continue  progress  along  the  lines 
already  marked  out  by  the  present  school  law  and  to  follow  a  permanent 
educational  policy. 

2.  That  the  General  Assembly  appropriate  not  less  than  $50,000  annually 
to  aid  iu  the  establishment  and  maintenance  of  county  farm-life  high  schools, 
iu  conjunction  with  the  best  and  most  conveniently  located  of  the  existing  high 
schools  iu  those  counties  complying  with  the  conditions,  to  be  prescribed  in  tlie 
law,  for  the  adequate  equipment  and  maintenance  of  such  schools.  A  full  dis- 
cussion of  these  schools,  of  the  cost  of  their  equipment  and  maintenance,  the 
reasons  for  their  establishment,  the  benefits  of  them,  the  conditions  to  be  pre- 
scribed iu  the  law  for  the  counties  securing  them,  etc.,  will  be  found  elsewhere 
iu  this  Report,  under  the  heading  "Farm-life  Schools." 

3.  That  the  annual  State  appropriation  for  public  high  schools  be  increased 
$25,000,  to  meet  the  present  needs  of  the  constantly  increasing  patronage  of 
these  schools,  which  will  appear  from  the  report  of  the  State  Inspector  of 
Public  High  Schools,  published  elsewhere  in  this  Report. 

4.  That  the  provisions  for  training  the  teacliing  force  of  the  State  be  fur- 
ther enlarged  and  improved  by  requiring  the  University,  the  State  Normal 
and  Industrial  College,  the  A.  and  M.  Colleges,  and  all  the  Normal  Schools 
of  the  State  to  conduct  summer  schools  as  a  part  of  their  regular  work,  open 
without  charge  for  tuition  to  all  public-school  teachers  and  all  persons  pre- 
paring for  teaching.  That  provision  be  made  for  such  summer  schools  in  the 
annual  appropriations  for  these  institutions  as  a  part  of  the  annual  budget 
of  necessary  expenses.  That  the  courses  of  study  tlaerein  be  correlated,  as 
far  as  possible,  with  the  work  of  the  county  teachers'  institutes  and  county 
teachers'  associations  and  the  regular  work  of  these  institutions.  These  in- 
stitutions are  so  located  as  to  place  a  summer  school,  under  this  plan,  within 
easy  access  of  the  teachers  of  every  section  of  the  State  by  utilizing  the  ex- 
pensive State  plants  that  have  heretofore  remained  idle  three  or  four  months 
each  year. 

5.  That,  on  account  of  the  increased  cost  of  living,  the  higher  standard  of 
requirements  for  certification  of  teachei-s,  and  the  difficulty  of  securing  quali- 
fied teachers,  the  law  be  so  amended  as  to  fix  the  maximum  salary  of  second- 
grade  teachers  at  $30,  instead  of  $25. 

6.  That  the  law  relating  to  coimty  teachers'  institutes  be  so  amended  as  to 
require  all  teachers  of  all  counties  of  the  State  to  attend  some  county  insti- 
tute, or  properly  accredited  summer  school,  at  least  once  in  two  years,  unless 
providentially  prevented,  and  to  forbid  any  county  superintendent  to  issue  a 
certificate,   or  approve  a   certificate  to  teach   in   the  public   schools,   or  any

school  committee  to  employ  any  teacher  until  such  a  certificate  of  attend- 
ance upon  some  county  institute  or  some  properlj*  accredited  summer  school 
shall  be  exhibited  and  accepted. 

7.  That  the  law  relating  to  the  adoption  of  text-books  for  use  in  the  public 
schools  be  amended  as  follows : 

a.  By  requiring  the  establishment  of  one  or  more  joint  State  depositories 
for  the  more  convenient  and  expeditious  supply  of  books  to  the  local  deposito- 
ries in  the  various  counties  of  the  State ;  and  that  contracting  publishers  be 
required  to  furnish  books  to  local  depositories  on  consignment,  if  necessary, 
in  order  to  secure  the  placing  of  the  books  within  convenient  reach  of  the 
patrons  of  the  rural  schools. 

6.  That  the  subcommission  shall  contain  at  least  two  representative  pri- 
mary teachers  of  the  State,  three  representative  county  superintendents,  and 
two  representative  city  superintendents,  actively  engaged  in  school  work.  That 
the  members  of  the  subcommission  shall  meet  in  joint  session  with  the  Text- 
book Commission  for  the  adoption  of  books,  and  shall  constitute  a  part  of 
that  Commission,  with  full  authority  as  members  thereof  for  the  adoption  of 
books. 

c.  That  the  law  be  so  amended  as  to  include  city  schools  as  well  as  rural 
schools  in  the  adoption. 

Under  the  present  text-book  law,  the  subcommission,  composed  of  profes- 
sional teachers,  is  directed  to  consider  only  the  merits  of  the  books  and  to 
report  their  ratings  according  to  merit,  and  are  forbidden  to  consider  price, 
the  expense  of  changes  to  the  taxpayers  and  the  patrons  of  the  schools,  and 
other  practical  considerations  of  that  sort.  The  Text-book  Commission,  com- 
posed of  the  State  officers  constituting  the  State  Board  of  Education,  only 
one  of  whom  is  a  professional  teacher,  is  directed  to  consider  the  price,  the 
expense  of  changes  and  other  practical  considerations,  and  are  in  no  sense 
bound  by  the  report  of  the  subcommission,  except  by  the  general  direction 
that  they  shall  give  due  consideration  to  that  report.  The  difference  in  view- 
point of  these  two  separate  boards — one  an  exclusively  professional  board, 
instructed  to  consider  and  report  on  the  professional  merit  of  the  books  only, 
without  any  voice  in  the  final  adoption,  and  the  other  a  nonprofessional 
board,  upon  which  is  specifically  imposed  the  duty  of  considering  also  the 
price,  the  expense  of  changes  in  books,  and  other  such  practical  considera- 
tions—has necessarily  produced  variations  between  the  recommendations  of 
one  board  and  the  adoptions  of  the  other  that  have  given  opportunity  for  mis- 
understandings and  criticisms  that,  in  my  opinion,  can  be  avoided  by  the  con- 
solidation of  the  two  boards,  so  that  each  may  better  imderstand  the  view- 
point of  the  other,  and  in  the  final  adoption  may  wisely  view  the  matter  from 
both  viewpoints. 

I  believe  that  wisdom  and  justice  demand  that  the  teachers  should  have 
a  voice  in  the  final  adoption  of  the  tools  with  which  they  are  to  work ;  that 
the  members  of  the  State  Board  of  Education,  elected  by  the  people,  directly 
responsible  to  the  people,  guardians  of  the  financial  interests  of  the  State 
and  of  the  people,  responsible  under  the  Constitution  for  the  educational 
policy  and  the  administration  of  the  educational  system  of  the  State,  should 
also  have  a  voice  in  the  adoption  of  text-books  for  the  public  schools. 

Having  been  chairman  of  the  first  subcommission  in  1901,  before  I  was  a 
member  of  the  State  Board  of  Education  and  Text-book  Commission,  and  hav- 


RECSbMMENDATIOXS.  19 

ing  been,  in  1906,  when  the  second  book  adoption  was  made,  State  Superin- 
tendent of  Public  Instruction,  and  therefore  a  member  of  the  State  Board  of 
Education  and  the  Text-boolc  Connnisslon,  1  feel  tlint  my  experience  has  pre- 
pared me  to  appreciate  the  difference  in  viewpoint,  making  possible  perfectly 
honest  variations  between  the  recommendations  of  the  subcommission  and  the 
adoptions  of  the  Text-book  Commission.  My  experience  has  convinced  me 
that  the  best  results  will  be  obtained  from  adoption  by  a  joint  board,  such  as 
I  have  recommended,  each  acting  as  a  balance  wheel  to  the  other,  thereby 
avoiding  mistakes  from  an  undue  emphasis  of  theoretical  merits  of  the  books 
on  the  one  hand  and  undue  emphasis  of  practical  considerations  of  price  and 
expense  of  changes  on  the  other. 

Having  been  intimately  associated  with  the  members  of  the  State  Board  of 
Education,  and  having  heard  and  taken  part  in  all  the  discussions  of  the 
Text-book  Commission  during  the  adoption  in  1906,  I  deem  it  due  them,  as  the 
one  representative  of  the  teaching  profession  on  the  Text-book  Commission, 
to  say  here,  in  view  of  certain  criticisms  in  some  of  the  newspapers,  liable 
to  create  a  wrong  impression  in  the  public  mind  and  to  do  these  men  an  in- 
justice, that,  though  I  differed  from  a  majority  of  them  about  some  of  the 
adoptions,  I  have  never  been  associated  with  men  in  the  discharge  of  any 
duty  that,  in  my  opinion,  were  more  honest  and  conscientious  in  the  discharge 
of  that  duty.  It  was  an  unpleasant  duty  imposed  upon  them  by  the  law, 
without  their  influence,  request,  or  desire,  of  which  every  one  of  them,  of  my 
own  knowledge,  would  gladly  have  been  relieved,  and  would  now  gladly  be 
relieved.  These  men  are  created  by  the  Constitution  the  State  Board  of 
Education.  During  my  administration  they  have  taken  an  active  interest  in 
all  educational  matters  and  have  given  me,  as  State  Superintendent  of  Public 
Instruction,  wise  counsel  and  warm  support.  They  are  entitled  to  a  large 
part  of  whatever  credit  may  be  due  to  the  State  educational  administration 
for  the  educational  progress  since  I  have  been  State  Superintendent  of  Pviblic 
Instruction. 

I  recommend  the  addition  of  representative  members  of  the  teaching  pro- 
fession to  the  Text-book  Commission,  and  I  earnestly  desire  the  -benefit  of 
the  counsel  and  aid  of  representatives  of  my  profession  upon  all  matters 
pertaining  to  the  educational  administration  of  the  State,  but  not  to  the 
exclusion  of  honest,  capable,  and  patriotic  men  whom  the  people,  by  their 
Constitution  and  their  votes,  have  designated  as  their  representatives  in  the 
administration  of  the  educational  affairs  of  the  State. 

A  comparison  of  the  books  adopted  by  the  State  Text-book  Commission  in 
1906  with  the  report  of  the  subcommission  will  show  that  the  Text-book  Com- 
mission evidently  gave  careful  consideration  to  the  recommendations  of  the 
professional  board,  and  that  the  only  deviations  from  the  recommendations 
of  that  board  were  in  the  adoption  of  the  text-books  on  Reading,  Geogyaphy, 
History,  Spelling,  and  Arithmetic. 

In  Reading,  the  first  choice  of  the  minority  of  three  members  of  the  sub- 
commission  was  adopted.  The  first  two  of  the  series  of  five  i-eaders  adopted 
was  also  the  second  choice  of  the  majority  of  four  members  of  the  sub- 
commission,  the  others  of  the  adopted  series  being  their  third  choice. 

In  Geography  the  two  books  recommended  as  first  choice  by  the  entire  sub- 
commission  were  adopted.     Four  members  of  the  subcommission  recommended 


20  Eecommendations. 

the  adoption  of  a  third  book,  making  a  three-boolv  series  instead  of  a  two, 
while  the  minority  of  three  members  reported  against  this,  favoring  the  two- 
book  series. 

The  only  deviation  from  the  report  of  the  entire  subcommission  on  United 
States  History  was  in  the  selection  of  a  primai-y  history,  the  second  choice 
of  the  subcommission  being  selected  instead  of  their  first  choice.  The  book 
adopted,  however,  was  recommended  as  a  most  meritorious  book  in  all  re- 
spects, and  was  selected  by  the  Text-book  Commission  mainly  because  the 
majority  of  the  members  preferred  its  treatment  of  certain  topics  of  North 
Carolina  history  to  the  treatment  of  the  same  topics  in  the  book  recom- 
mended as  first  choice. 

In  Spelling,  the  second  choice  of  the  subcommission  was  adopted  instead  of 
the  first  choice,  both  books  being  recommended  as  meritorious,  the  second 
choice  being  preferred  and  adopted  by  the  Text-book  Commission  probably 
because  it  was  by  North  Carolina  authors  and  published  by  North  Carolina 
publishers. 

In  Arithmetic,  the  subcommission  recommended  strongly  a  three-book  series, 
and  reported  as  their  first  choice  a  three-book  series.  Their  second  choice 
was  a  two-book  series,  and  the  only  other  three-book  series  reported  as  worthy 
of  consideration  was  Colaw  and  Ellwood's,  which  was  reported  as  their  third 
choice.  This  series  was  the  series  already  in  use  in  the  public  schools  of  the 
State,  and  the  adoption  of  it  was  favored  by  the  majority  of  the  Text-book 
Commission  because  they  thought  that  the  difference  between  the  two  series 
did  not  justify  the  expense  of  a  change  from  an  old  to  a  new  series. 

In  Agriculture,  Drawing,  Writing,  English,  Physiology  and  Hygiene,  and 
all  other  subjects,  the  Text-book  Commission,  in  their  adoption  of  the  text- 
books, followed  to  the  letter  the  report  of  the  subcommission,  adopting  in 
each  ease  its  unanimous  first  choice. 

8.  It  is,  in  my  opinion,  just  and  wise  that  wherever  equally  well  qualified 
men  can  be  found  in  the  minority  party,  representation  should  be  given  to 
both  of  the  leading  political  parties  upon  county  boards  of  education,  since 
the  schools,  maintained  by  the  taxes  of  all  the  people,  patronized  by  the 
children  of  all  the  people,  irrespective  of  their  political  views,  need  for  their 
success  the  hearty  support  and  interest  of  all  the  people,  and  should,  there- 
fore, be  removed  as  far  as  possible  from  partisan  politics,  and  administered 
by  a  board  as  nonpartisan  as  is  consistent  with  the  constitutional  require- 
ment of  a  uniform  system  of  education  and  the  responsibility  of  the  major- 
ity political  party  of  the  State  for  the  successful  administration  of  that 
system  in  every  county  of  the  State.  The  method  of  selecting  county  boards 
of  education  should  be  made  uniform.  By  special  legislation,  six  counties 
now  elect  their  county  boards  of  education. 

9.  That  the  law  regulating  the  distribution  of  the  second  hundred  thousand 
dollars  to  aid  in  securing  a  four-months  school  term  in  every  school  dis- 
trict be  so  amended  as  to  change  the  maximum  special  tax  required  of 
counties  sharing  in  its  distribution  from-  5  cents  on  the  $100  valuatioii  of 
property  to  10  cents.  This  law  would  affect  only  28  counties,  receiving  much 
more  from  this  appropriation  than  they  raise  by  special  taxation,  and  most 
of  these  Avould  still  receive  more  from  the  State  than  they  raise,  after  re- 
quiring a  levy  of  the  maximum  of  10  cents.  This  increase  in  the  maxinnmi 
in  these  counties  that  receive  most  from  the  State  appropriation  seems  to 


Recommendations.  21 

be  necessary  to  provide  the  full  amount  needed  to  guarantee  each  year  a 
full  four-months  term  in  every  school  district  iu  these  counties,  and  in  the 
3G  counties  that  raise  more  by  a  special  tax  and  receive  less  from  the  second 
hundred  thousand  dollars  than  these.  It  would  seem  that  the  amount  of  self- 
help  required  of  the  counties  should  be  somewhat  proportionate  to  the  amount 
received  from  the  State  for  a  four-months  school  term — -those  receiving  most 
levying  most,  and  those  receiving  least  levying  least. 

10.  That  the  law  be  so  amended  as  to  authorize  any  coimty  to  vote  a 
special  tax  for  lengthening  its  school  term  and  improving  its  schoolhouses 
and  schools,  with  a  proviso  that  the  voting  of  such  a  tax  for  the  entire  county 
shall  not  interfere  with  existing  local-tax  districts  or  with  the  establishment 
of  other  local-tax  districts  under  the  general  law ;  and  with  a  further  pro- 
viso authorizing  the  special  annual  tax  levy  in  existing  local-tax  districts  to 
be  reduced  upon  the  recommendation  of  the  committees  of  those  districts  iu 
counties  voting  such  a  special  tax  for  the  entire  county  so  as  to  prevent  a 
burdensome  tax  in  such  districts. 

11.  That  the  law  relating  to  the  State  Board  of  Examiners  for  the  exami- 
nation and  certification  of  high-school  teachers  and  of  applicants  for  the 
Five-year  State  Teacher's  Certificate  be  amended  so  as  to  permit  the  mem- 
bers of  that  board  to  give  the  additional  time  needed  for  the  increased  work 
of  the  board,  and  so  as  to  allow  not  exceeding  $300  for  the  secretary  of  the 
board  for  his  increasing  labors  incident  to  the  rapidly  increasing  work  of 
the  board. 

12.  That  the  State  tax  for  public  schools  be  increased  from  IS  cents  on  the 
$100  valuation  of  property  to  25  cents.  This  increase  will  lengthen  the 
school  term  and  greatly  improve  the  school  facilities,  provide  for  the  employ- 
ment of  more  and  better  teachers  at  better  salaries,  largely  reduce  the  num- 
ber of  counties  now  required  to  levy  a  special  tax  for  a  four-months  school, 
and  greatly  reduce  the  amount  of  the  special  tax  required  to  be  levied  for  a 
four-months  school  in  the  small  number  of  counties  in  which  such  a  special 
tax  would  still  be  necessary.  It  would  also  decrease  the  amount  borae  by  the 
few  stronger  counties  for  a  four-mouths  school  in  the  counties  now  receiving 
aid  from  the  second  hundred  thousand  dollars.  In  fact,  in  a  few  years,  with 
this  increase  in  the  general  State  tax  for  public  schools,  every  county  in  the 
State  ought  to  be  able  to  have  a  four-months  school  without  aid  from  the 
second  hundred  thousand  dollars ;  aud  the  second  hundred  thousand  dollars, 
like  the  first  one  hundred  and  twenty-five  thousand  dollars,  could  be  appor- 
tioned to  all  the  counties  according  to  the  school  population  of  each,  to 
lengthen  the  term  and  strengthen  the  schools.  With  this  increase  and  with 
the  constantly  increasing  tax  valuations  of  the  State,  it  ought  to  be  possible 
within  the  next  few  years  to  bring  the  minimum  school  term  to  six  months. 

13.  That  the  law  be  so  amended  as  to^authorize  county  boards  of  education 
to  provide  for  consolidation  of  schools  and  transportation  of  pupils  where  the 
conditions  and  the  available  school  funds  justify  it. 

14.  That  the  following  minor  amendments  to  the  school  law  be  made: 

a.  That  section  4164  be  so  amended  as  to  require  that  one  of  the  tv\'o  com- 
mitteemen required  to  sign  all  vouchers  shall  be  the  secretary  of  the  com- 
mittee, thereby  enabling  him  to  keep  accurately  the  account  of  the  school 
funds  of  the  disti'ict. 


22  Recommendations. 

J).  That  section  4124  be  so  amended  as  to  require  ttie  County  Board  of  Edu- 
cation to  insure  aud  keep  insured  all  schooUiouses  valued  at  more  than  $350. 

c.  That  section  4148  be  so  amended  as  to  require  a  biennial,  instead  of  an 
annual,  census  to  be  taken  on  or  before  July  1st.  The  school  population  does 
not  change  enough  in  one  year  to  justify  the  expense  of  $12,000  or  $14,000 
for  an  annual  census. 

d.  That  section  4141  be  so  amended  as  to  require  the  attendance  of  county 
superintendents  at  the  meetings  of  the  district  associations,  for  conference 
with  each  other  and  with  the  State  Superintendent  about  their  work. 

e.  That  section  4165  be  so  amended  as  to  require  the  teacher  to  return  at 
the  close  of  the  school  term  the  school  register,  and  to  forbid  the  County 
Superintendent  from  signing  the  final  voucher  for  salary  until  the  register, 
properly  kept  and  concluded  for  the  tex*m,  as  required  by  law,  shall  be  filed 
with  him. 

/.  That  section  4155  be  so  amended  as  to  authorize  the  County  Superin- 
tendent to  administer  to  teachers  and  school  committeemen  the  oaths  required 
by  law  for  their  vouchers  and  reports.

WORK  TO  BE  DONE  AND  HOW  TO  DO  IT. 


Notwithstanding  tlie  encouraging  progress  along  all  former  lines  and  the 
encouraging  beginning  along  new  lines  of  educational  worli  during  the  past  two 
years,  as  revealed  by  the  othcial  reports,  the  work  to  be  done  and  the  ways  and 
means  of  doing  it  have  not  been  materially  changed  since  my  preceding  report. 
As  I  discussed  most  of  these  subjects  somewhat  fully  and  to  the  best  of  my 
ability  in  that  report,  basing  my  discussion  and  suggestions  on  the  most  careful 
study  of  our  educational  conditions  that  I  have  been  able  to  make,  T  have 
deemed  it  wisest  to  bring  forward,  with  some  changes  and  additions,  parts  of 
my  previous  biennial  report.  This  is  the  work  to  be  done,  as  I  see  it ;  these 
are  the  ways  and  means  of  doing  it,  as  I  see  them.  I  can  do  no  better  than  to 
cry  aloud  and  spare  not  until  the  General  Assembly  and  the  people  hear  and 
heed  these  suggestions  or  in  their  wisdom  find  and  adopt  some  better  ways  of 
doing  this  needetl  work. 

Thorough-ness  in  Essentials. — The  foundation  of  all  education  is,  of  course, 
a  mastery  of  the  rudiments  of  knowledge — the  elementary  branches  of  reading, 
writing,  arithmetic  and  spelling.  A  knowledge  of  these  and  the  training  and 
development  which  comes  from  the  effort  necessary  for  the  acquisition  of  such 
knowledge  are  absolutely  essential  for  every  human  being.  It  is  folly  to  talk 
about  higher  education  or  special  training  along  any  line  for  any  useful  sphere 
of  life  or  work  until  the  children  have  secured  at  least  this  much  instruction. 
According  to  the  United  States  Census  of  1900,  19.5  per  cent  of  the  white  popu- 
lation and  47.5  per  cent  of  the  colored  population  over  ten  years  of  age  in 
North  Carolina  could  not  read  and  write.  While  I  have  no  doubt  that  we  have 
greatly  reduced  this  per  cent  of  illiteracy  during  the  past  eight  years,  it  is  still 
painfully  true  that  there  is  yet  a  large  number  of  illiterates  among  us  and  a 
large  number  of , children  on  the  straight  road  to  illiteracy. 

A  large  majority  of  our  country  schools  are  still  one-teacher  schools.  The 
average  length  of  our  rural  school  term  is  still  only  89.9  days.  Our  chief  atten- 
tion should,  therefore,  be  given  to  doing  thoroughly  this  foundatiQn  work  and 
making  adequate  provision  for  it.  If  the  foundation  be  not  well  laid  first,  the 
entire  educational  structure  must  fall  to  pieces. 

The  law  now  wisely  forbids  the  teaching  of  any  high-school  subjects  in  any 
school  having  only  one  teacher.  It  requires,  however,  the  teaching  of  thirteen 
subjects  in  these  one-teacher  schools.  It  is  absolutely  impossible  for  one 
teacher,  with  as  many  children  as  are  to  be  found  in  the  average  rural  school 
in  seven  grades,  to  do  thorough  work  in  so  many  subjects.  It  seems  to  me  that 
the  number  of  required  subjects  should  be  reduced,  and  that  the  teacher  in 
every  one-teacher  school  should  be  required  to  devote  more  time — in  fact,  most 
of  the  time — to  teaching  thoroughly  these  fundamental  essentials  of  reading, 
writing,  arithmetic  and  spelling.  It  is  folly  to  attempt  the  impossible.  In  my 
opinion,  at  least  the  first  four  years  of  the  elementary  school  with  only  one 
teacher  should  be  devoted  almost  exclusively  to  these  four  subjects,  sandwich- 
ing in  just  enough  of  geography,  mainly  in  the  form  of  nature  study,  talks  on 
everyday  hygiene,  etc.,  to  give  a  little  variety  to  the  course  and  to  furnish  some 
foundation  for  a  little  more  extensive  work  in  these  and  kindred  subjects  later. 

There  is  more  educational  value,  more  acquisition  of  power  and  of  correct

intellectual  habits  in  a  thorough  mastery  of  a  few  subjects  than  in  a  super- 
ficial knowledge,  a  mere  smattering,  of  many.  The  one  lays  the  foundation  for 
real  culture;  the  other  lays  the  foundation  for  nothing  better  than  veneering. 
I  am  satisfied  that  there  is  great  need  for  a  substantial  reform  along  this  line 
in  the  required  course  of  study  in  our  elementary  schools.  The  sensible  teach- 
ers in  the  one-teacher  schools  are  not  attempting  to  teach  this  multiplicity  of 
required  subjects,  and  those  who  are  attempting  to  teach  all  of  these  are  failing 
to  teach  any  as  they  should  be  taught.  The  law  ought  not  to  require  a  vain 
and  foolish  thing. 

Public  High  Schools. — Every  child  has  the  right  to  have  the  chance  to  de- 
velop to  the  fullest  every  faculty  that  God  has  endowed  him  with.  It  is  to  the 
highest  interest  of  the  State  to  place  within  the  reach  of  every  child  this 
chance.  By  the  evidence  of  the  exiierience  of  all  civilized  lands  of  the  past  and 
the  present,  the  study  of  the  higher  branches  is  necessary  for  the  fullest  devel- 
opment of  these  faculties.  L'nless  provided  in  the  public  schools,  instruction  in 
these  cannot  be  placed  within  reach  of  nine-tenths  of  the  children  of  North 
Carolina.  If  the  great  masses  of  our  i)eople  are  to  be  limited  in  their  education 
to  the  elementary  branches  only,  we  cannot  hope  for  any  material  improvement 
in  their  intelligence  and  power  and  any  material  increase  in  their  earning 
capacity.  This  State  cannot  expect  to  compete  successfully  with  those  States 
that  have  provided  such  instruction  in  their  public  schools  for  the  highest  and 
fullest  development  of  all  the  powers  of  all  their  people. 

"The  old  idea  that  instruction  in  the  public  schools  must  be  confined  to  the 
rudimentary  branches  only,  or  the  three  R's,  as  they  were  called,  was  born  of 
the  old  false  notion  that  the  public  schools  were  a  public  charity.  This  notion 
■put  a  badge  of  poverty  upon  the  public-school  system  that  was  for  many  years 
the  chief  obstacle  to  the  progress  and  development  of  public  education  in  North 
Carolina.  The  notion  still  lingers  in  the  minds  of  a  few  that  at  heart  do  not 
believe  in  the  power  and  the  rights  of  the  many.  It  has  no  place  in  a  real 
democracy.  It  must  give  place  to  that  truer  idea,  accepted  now  in  all  pro- 
gressive States  and  lands,  that  public  education  is  the  highest  governmental 
function — in  fact,  the  chief  concern  of  a  good  government.  This  was  the  con- 
ception of  our  wise  old  forefathers  when  they  declared  in  their  Constitution 
that  'Religion,  morality,  and  knowledge  being  necessary  to  good  government 
and  the  happiness  of  mankind,  schools  and  the  means  of  education  shall  for- 
ever be  encouraged,'  and  when  they  wrote  into  their  Bill  of  Rights,  'The  people 
have  a  right  to  the  privilege  of  education,  and  it  is  the  duty  of  the  State  to 
guard  and  maintain  that  right.' 

"No  man  in  this  age  will  dare  maintain  that  instruction  in  the  mere  rudi- 
ments of  learning  can  be  called  an  education  or  that  the  people  have  been 
given  the  right  to  an  education  when  instruction  iu  these  branches  only  has 
been  placed  within  their  reach.  Under  this  broader  democratic  conception  of 
public  education  and  its  function  the  obligation  of  the  Government  to  the 
poorest  is  as  binding  as  its  obligation  to  the  richest.  The  right  of  the  poorest 
to  the  opportunity  of  the  fullest  development  is  as  inalienable  as  the  right  of 
the  richest.  Good  government  and  the  happiness  of  mankind  are  as  dependent 
upon  the  development  of  the  fullest  powers  of  the  poorest  as  upon  the  develop- 
ment of  the  fullest  powers  of  the  richest.  Where  the  Creator  has  hidden  the 
greatest  powers  no  man  can  know  till  all  have  been  given  the  fullest  oppor- 
tunity to  develop  all  that  is  in  them.     Every  taxpayer,  rich  or  poor,  has  an 


Work  to  Bk  Done  and  How  to  Do  It.  25 

equal  right  to  have  an  equal  chauce  for  the  fullest  development  of  his  children 
in  a  public  school  with  the  fullest  course  of  instruction  that  the  State  in  the 
discharge  of  its  governmental  function  is  able  to  provide. 

"Public  high  schools  constitute  a  part  of  every  modern  progressive  system  of 
public  education.  If  our  system  of  public  schools  is  to  take  rank  with  the  mod- 
ern, progressive  systems  of  other  States  and  other  lands,  to  meet  the  modern 
demands  for  eilucation  and  supply  to  rich  and  poor  alike  equal  educational 
opportunity,  instruction  in  these  higher  branches,  whereby  preparation  for  col- 
lege or  for  life  may  be  placed  within  the  easy  reach  of  all,  must  find  a  fixed 
and  definite  place  in  the  system." 

Under  the  act  of  the  General  Assembly  appropriating  $50,000  from  the  State 
Treasury  to  aid  in  the  establishment  of  public  high  schools,  175  public  high 
schools  in  87  counties  of  the  State  have  been  established,  and  applications  for 
the  establishment  of  many  others  have  had  to  be  refused  each  year  on  account 
of  the  insufficiency  of  the  appropriation.  A  full  report  of  these  schools  by 
Prof.  N.  W.  Walker,  State  Inspector  of  Public  High  Schools,  is  published 
elsewhere  in  this  Report.     I  commend  it  to  your  careful  attention. 

Under  the  law  and  the  rules  adopted  by  the  State  Board  of  Education,  which 
are  printed  elsewhere  in  this  Report,  not  more  than  four  of  these  schools  can 
be  established  in  any  one  county.  No  public  high  school  can  be  established 
except  in  connection  with  a  public  school  having  at  least  two  other  teachers  in 
the  elementary  and  intermediate  grades,  and  the  entire  time  of  at  least  one 
teacher  must  be  devoted  to  the  high-school  grades.  No  public  high  school  can 
be  established  in  a  town  of  more  than  twelve  hundred  inhabitants. 

Each  district  in  which  a  public  high  school  is  established  is  required  to  dupli- 
cate by  special  taxation  or  subscription  the  amount  apportioned  to  the  school 
from  the  State  appropriation ;  and  each  county,  unless  the  county  school  fund 
thereof  is  insufficient  to  provide  a  four-months  school  without  aid  from  the 
second  .$100,000,  is  required  to  apportion  to  each  public  high  school  out  of  the 
county  fund  an  amount  equal  to  that  apportioned  to  it  out  of  the  State  appro- 
priation. The  minimum  sum  that  can  be  apportioned  annually  from  the  State 
appropriation  for  the  establishment  and  maintenance  of  any  public  high  school 
is  $250  and  the  maximum  sum  $500.  The  total  sum  annually  available  for  any 
public  high  school  established  under  this  act  ranges,  therefore,  from  $500  to 
$1,500.  The  high-school  funds  can  be  used  only  for  the  payment  of  salaries  of 
the  high-school  teachers  and  the  necessary  incidental  expenses  of  the  high- 
school  grades. 

No  teacher  can  be  employed  to  teach  or  can  draw  salary  for  teaching  any 
subjects  in  any  public  high  school  who  does  not  hold  a  high-school  teacher's 
certificate  covering  at  least  all  subjects  taught  by  said  teacher  in  said  public 
high  school,  issued  by  the  State  Board  of  Examiners,  of  which  the  State  Super- 
intendent is  ex  officio  chairman.  The  course  of  study  is  prescribed  by  the  State 
Superintendent  of  Public  Instruction. 

As  indicative  of  the  need  and  demand  for  these  schools  I  beg  to  call  j'our 
attention  to  the  fact  that  there  have  been  applications  for  many  more  such 
schools  than  could  be  established  with  the  appropriation,  and  that  the  number 
of  such  applications  would  have  been  greatly  increased  had  it  not  been  under- 
stood that  the  appropriation  was  already  exhausted.  As  a  further  striking  in- 
dication of  the  need  for  them,  of  the  desire  among  the  masses  of  the  country 
people  for  higher  instruction,  and  of  their  willingness  and  determination  to 


26  Work  to  Be  Done  and  How  to  Do  It. 

avail  themselves  of  the  opportunities  placed  within  their  reach  for  such  instruc- 
tion, I  beg  to  call  your  attention  to  these  significant  facts,  taken  from  the 
official  reports  of  these  schools,  all  of  ^Yhic•h  are  in  country  districts  or  small 
towns  of  less  than  twelve  hundred  people :  5,775  country  boys  and  girls  were 
enrolled  in  the  high-school  grades  of  these  schools  during  the  third  year,  and 
of  these  4.145  were  in  average  daily  attendance;  3,541  were  enrolled  in  the 
eighth  grade,  or  the  first  year's  work  of  the  high  school ;  1,634  in  the  ninth 
grade,  or  the  second  year's  work  of  the  high  school ;  536  in  the  tenth  grade,  or 
the  third  year's  work  of  the  high  school ;  64  in  the  eleventh  gi'ade,  or  the 
fourth  year's  work  of  the  high  school. 

Do  not  the  large  enrollment  and  the  remarkable  average  daily  attendance  of 
more  than  71  per  cent  of  the  enrollment  in  these  high  schools  indicate  almost  a 
pathetic  eagerness  of  the  country  boys  and  girls  for  high-school  instruction, 
and  a  commendable  willingness  on  the  part  of  their  parents  to  make  the  sacri- 
fices necessary  to  give  their  children  a  chance  to  avail  themselves  of  the  oppor- 
tunities to  get  it?  Is  it  not  more  than  probable  that  perhaps  nine-tenths  of 
all  these  boys  and  girls  enrolled  in  all  the  grades  of  these  high  schools  would 
never  have  had  an  opportunity  for  any  higher  instruction  or  better  prepara- 
tion through  higher  instruction  for  service  and  citizenship  had  not  these  public 
high  schools  been  established  within  their  reach  and  means? 

The  State  and  county  cannot  afford  to  ignore  this  demand  and  need.  An 
adequate  system  of  public  high  schools  will  be  found  to  be  a  part  of  every 
modern  system  of  public  education  in  all  progressive  cities  and  States  in  this 
country  and  in  all  the  most  progressive  and  prosperous  countries  of  the  world. 
It  is  a  need  and  demand  of  the  age.  By  no  other  means  than  by  the  public 
high  school  can  high-school  instruction  be  placed  within  the  reach  of  the  chil- 
dren of  the  many.  By  no  other  means  than  by  the  rural  public  high  school 
can  it  be  placed  within  the  reach  of  the  great  majority  of  the  country  boj's 
and  girls. 

The  private  high  school  cannot  meet  this  demand,  because  the  tuition  and 
other  necessary  charges  for  its  maintenance  place  it  beyond  the  means  of  the 
majority  of  the  counti'y  boys  and  girls,  and  because  the  number  of  country 
parents  who  are  able  to  bear  these  necessary  expenses  of  instruction  in  private 
high  schools  for  their  children  is  far  too  small  to  maintain  enough  of  these 
private  high  schools  to  be  within  reasonable  reach  of  more  than  a  very  small 
minority  of  the  country  boys  and  girls.  No  one  church  is  able  to  support 
enough  of  these  high  schools  to  place  high-school  instruction  within  reasonable 
reach  or  within  the  financial  ability  of  more  than  a  mere  handful  of  boys  and 
girls  in  the  rural  districts. 

The  church  high  school  could  hardly  hope  for  the  patronage  of  more  than  the 
children  of  the  families  accepting  its  tenets  or  inclined  to  its  doctrines.  For  a 
complete  system  of  high  schools,  therefore,  that  would  reach  all  the  children, 
it  would  seem  to  be  necessary  for  each  denomination  to  maintain  a  system  of 
high  schools  in  every  county  and  to  have  as  many  systems  of  high  schools  in 
each  county  as  there  are  denominations  in  that  county.  The  impracticability 
and  expensiveness  of  meeting  adequately  the  demand  for  high-school  instruc- 
tion among  the  masses  of  the  people,  especially  in  the  rural  districts,  by  private 
high  schools  or  by  church  high  schools  must  be  apparent,  therefore,  to  any 
thoughtful  student  of  rural  conditions. 

The  task  of  placing  high-school  instruction  within  reasonable  reach  of  all  the 


Work  to  Be  Done  and  How  to  Do  It.  27 

cbildreu  of  all  the  people,  irrespective  of  creed  or  condition,  is  too  great  and 
too  complicated,  it  seems  to  me,  ever  to  be  successfully  performed  by  church, 
private  enterprise  or  philanthropy.  If  performed  at  all,  it  seems  to  me,  it 
must  be  by  all  the  people  supporting  by  uniform  taxation  a  system  of  public 
high  schools  of  sufficient  number  to  be  within  the  reasonable  reach  of  all  the 
children  of  every  county  and  community,  with  doors  wide  open  to  the  children 
of  the  poor  and  the  children  of  the  rich,  irrespective  of  creed  or  condition, 
affording  equality  of  educational  opportunity  to  all  the  children  of  a  reiniblic, 
of  which  equality  of  opportunity  is  a  basic  principle. 

The  church  high  school  and  the  jjrivate  high  school  will  still  tind  a  place  and 
an  important  work  in  our  educational  system,  but  they  can  never  take  the  place 
or  do  the  work  of  the  public  high  school  for  the  masses  of  the  people.  There 
will  always  be  those  among  us  who  will  prefer  the  church  or  private  high 
school,  and  who  will  be  able  to  indulge  this  preference,  but  the  main  depend- 
ence of  the  many  for  higher  education  must  still  be  the  public  high  school,  sup- 
ported by  the  taxes  of  all  the  people,  belonging  to  all  the  people,  within  reach 
of  all  the  people.  God  speed  the  work  of  the  church  and  the  private  high 
school  in  this  common  battle  against  ignorance  and  illiteracy.  There  is  work 
enough  for  all  to  do;  but  surely,  in  a  republic  like  ours,  one  of  the  cardinal 
principles  of  which  is  and  must  ever  be  the  greatest  good  to  the  greatest  num- 
ber, friends  of  the  church  high  school  and  of  the  private  high  school  will  never 
undertake  to  say  that  all  the  people  must  get  out  of  the  way  of  a  few  of  the 
people,  and  that  the  many  public  high  schools,  supported  by  all  the  people  for 
the  benefit  of  all  the  children,  must  get  out  of  the  way  for  a  few  private  and 
church  high  schools  that  can  at  best  hope  to  reach  but  a  few  of  the  children  of 
the  people. 

Future  Development  of  Public  High  Schools. — There  are  now  from  one  to 
four  public  high  schools  in  each  of  87  counties  of  the  State.  There  are,  there- 
fore, 11  counties  in  which  no  public  high  schools  have  yet  been  established. 
For  the  proper  maintenance  and  development  of  these  high  schools  more  money 
will,  of  course,  be  required.  I  have  elsewhere  recommended  an  increase  of 
$25,000  in  the  annual  State  appropriation  for  the  maintenance  of  these 
schools. 

It  is  our  hope  to  be  able  to  select  the  best  higlj  school  in  each  county,  tak- 
ing into  consideration  the  location,  the  accessibility,  the  environment,  etc., 
and  develop  this  into  a  real  first-class  county  high  school,  doing  thorough 
high-school  work  for  four  full  years.  Around  this  school  should  be  built  a 
dormitory  and  a  teachers'  home.  A  part  of  the  State  Loan  Fund  could  be 
used  to  aid  in  building  the  dormitory  and  the  teachers'  home.  The  dormi- 
toi'y,  properly  conducted,  would  afford  an  opportunity  for  the  boys  and  girls 
from  all  parts  of  the  county  to  board  at  actual  cost.  Many  of  these  could 
return  to  their  homes  Friday  evening,  coming  back  Monday  morning.  Manj^ 
of  them  who  do  not  have  the  money  to  spare  to  pay  their  board  would  proba- 
bly be  able  to  bring  such  provisions  as  are  raised  on  the  farm  and  have  them 
credited  on  their  board  at  the  market  price.  The  principal's  home  would 
make  it  possible  to  secure  a  better  principal  and  keep  him  probably  for  years, 
thereby  giving  more  permanency  to  the  school  and  more  continuity  to  the 
work,  making  a  citizen  of  the  teacher  and  enabling  him  and  his  family  to  be- 
come potent  factors  in  the  permanent  life  of  the  community,  contributing  no 
small  part  to  uplifting  it,  morally  and  intellectually,  by  their  influence.     A 


28  Work  to  Be  Done  aistd  How  to  Do  It. 

small  room  rent  could  be  charged  each  student,  that  would  probably  afford 
sufficient  income  to  repay  the  annual  installments  on  the  loan  for  the  dormi- 
tory. The  balance  of  the  cost  of  the  dormitory,  and  in  some  instances  all  the 
cost  of  the  dormitory,  could  probably  be  raised  easily  by  private  subscription 
in  the  community  and  county,  if  the  raising  of  it  should  be  made  a  condition 
precedent  to  the  permanent  location  of  such  a  county  high  school. 

It  is  my  hope  to  be  able  to  secure  the  development  of  a  number  of  these 
county  high  schools  in  the  most  favorable  covmties,  equipped  with  dormito- 
ries and  teachers'  homes,  and  demonstrate  the  practicability,  the  success  and 
the  value  of  them.  Having  done  this,  it  will  be  easy  to  secure  their  establish- 
ment and  development  in  other  counties.  The  increased  State  appropriation 
which  I  have  recommended  and  hope  to  secm'e  this  year  should,  in  my  opin- 
ion, be  used  for  the  development  of  these  central  county  high  schools,  so  that 
we  can  gradually  develop  in  every  county  of  the  State  at  least  one  first-class 
coimty  high  school  with  dormitory  and  teachers'  home.  Then  the  other  high 
schools  in  different  sections  of  the  county  should  be  correlated  with  this  cen- 
tral school,  and  the  course  of  study  in  these  should  be  limited  probably  to 
not  more  than  two  years  of  high-school  work,  requiring  all  students  desiring 
to  pursue  the  last  two  years  of  the  four-years  course  to  attend  the  central 
county  high  school,  which  will  be  fully  equipped  in  all  respects  for  thorough 
high-school  work. 

These  central  county  high  schools,  as  they  grow  and  develop,  should  become 
also  the  nuclei  for  successful  industrial  and  agricultural  training.  Parallel 
courses  of  study  for  the  last  two  years  might  be  arranged,  one  course  offering 
thoi'ough  preparation  for  college  to  the  small  nmnber  of  students  desiring  such 
preparation,  and  the  other  offering  practical  industrial  and  agricultural  train- 
ing for  the  large  number  whose  education  will  end  with  the  high  school.  The 
dormitoiy  would  afford  a  splendid  equipment  for  practice  work  for  the  girls 
in  cooking,  domestic  science,  household  economics,  etc. ;  while  the  boys,  during 
the  last  two  years,  could  have  training  in  agricultural  subjects  that  will  fit 
them  for  more  intelligent  and  profitable  farming.  The  practical  side  of  this 
work  coiild  be  supplied  by  acquiring  by  purchase  or  lease  a  small  farm  in 
connection  with  the  high  school.  The  development  of  this  sort  of  a  central 
county  high  school  in  each  comity  will  be  in  accord  with  the  plan  for  the 
establishment  and  maintenance  of  county  farm-life  high  schools,  recommended 
and  explained  elsewhere  in  this  Report,  and  they  will  form  the  nuclei  for 
such  schools  in  every  county. 

All  this  /development  must,  of  course,  be  a  gradual  and  perhaps  a  somewhat 
slow  growth.  It  is  best  that  it  should  be.  We  must  be  content  with  the  day 
of  small  things.  We  cannot  far  outrun  the  desire,  demand  and  ability  of  the 
people.  Our  schools  must  have  their  roots  in  the  life  and  needs  of  the  people 
and  gi'ow  out  of  these.  They  must  not  be  lifted  at  once  so  high  above  these 
that  their  roots  cannot  touch  them  and  that  the  people  will  be  unable  to  reach 
up  to  them.  They  must  connect  with  the  life  and  conditions  as  they  now  are, 
and  grow  upward  slowly,  changing  these  gradually  and  lifting  them  upward 
with  them  as  they  grow. 

Industrial  and  Agricultural  Education. — "Every  complete  educational  system 
must  make  provision  also  for  that  training  in  the  school  which  will  give  fitness 
for  the  more  skillful  performance  of  the  multitudinous  tasks  of  the  practical 
work  of  the  world,  the  pursuit  of  which  is  the  inevitable  lot  of  the  many,  for 


Work  to  Be  Done  and  Hoav  to  Do  It.  29 

that  training  wliich  will  connect  the  life  and  instruction  of  the  school  more 
closely  with  the  life  that  they  must  lead,  which  will  better  prepare  them  for 
usefulness  and  happiness  in  the  varied  spheres  in  which  they  must  move.  All 
these  spheres  are  necessary  to  the  well-being  of  a  complex  life  like  ours.  The 
Creator,  who  has.  ordained  all  spheres  of  useful  action,  has  not  endowed  all  with 
the  same  faculties  or  fitted  all  for  the  same  sphere  of  action. 

"  'We  are  all  Mit  parts  of  one  stupendous  whole, 
Whose  Tjody  Nature  is,  and  God  the  soul!' 

"Every  wise  system  of  education,  therefore,  must,  beyond  a  certain  point  of 
educational  development,  recognize  natural  differences  of  endowment  and  fol- 
low to  some  extent  the  lines  of  natural  adaptation  and  tastes,  thus  cooperating 
with  Nature  and  God.  The  education  that  turns  a  life  into  unnatural  channels 
and  into  the  pursuit  of  the  unattainable  fills  that  life  with  discontent  and  dooms 
it  to  inevitable  failure  and  tragedy.  In  recognition  of  these  established 
laws  of  Nature  and  life,  manual  training  and  industrial  education  are  begin- 
ning to  find  a  fixed  and  permanent  place  in  systems  of  modern  education. 
They  have  already  been  given  a  place  in  some  of  the  higher  institutions  of 
our  public-school  system — in  the  A.  and  M.  College  for  the  white  race  at 
Raleigh,  in  the  State  Normal  and  Industrial  College  for  Women  at  Greensboro, 
and  in  the  A.  and  M.  College  for  the  Colored  Race  at  Greensboro.  Under  the 
new  supervision  industrial  training  will  be  emphasized  in  the  State  Colored 
Normal  Schools  at  Winston,  Fayetteville,  and  Elizabeth  City.  Some  of  the  city 
graded  schools,  notably  those  of  Durham,  Asheville,  Wilmington,  Winston, 
Greensboro,  and  Charlotte,  have  introduced  manual  training  and  industrial 
education. 

"This  sort  of  education,  however,  must  come  as  a  growth,  a  development  of 
a  general  school  system  that  provides  first  for  the  intellectual  mastery  of 
those  branches  that  are  recognized  as  essential  for  intelligent  citizenship  and 
workmanship  everywhere.  It  must  be  remembered  that  the  first  essential 
difference  between  skilled  labor  and  imskilled  labor  is  a  difference  of  intelli- 
gence as  well  as  of  special  training ;  that  a  skilled  farmer  must  be  first  of  all 
a  thinking  man  on  the  farm;  a  skilled  mechanic,  a  thinking  man  in  the  shop; 
that  a  skilled  hand  is  but  a  hand  with  brains  put  into  it  and  finding  expres- 
sion through  it ;  that  without  brains  put  into  it  a  man's  hand  is  no  more  than 
a  monkey's  paw ;  that  without  brains  applied  to  it  a  man's  labor  is  on  the 
same  dead  level  with  the  labor  of  the  dull  horse  and  the  plodding  ox ;  that  a 
man  with  a  trained,  hand  and  nothing  more  is  a  mere  machine,  a  mere  hand. 
The  end  of  education  is  first  to  make  a  man,  not  a  machine. 

"It  will  be  well  to  remember,  also,  that  industrial  education  is  the  most  ex- 
pensive sort  of  education,  on  accoimt  of  the  equipment  necessary  for  it,  and 
the  character  of  the  teachers  required  for  it.  Teachers  prepared  for  success- 
ful instruction  in  this  sort  of  education  must,  of  course,  be  in  some  sense 
specialists  in  their  line,  and  always  command  good  salaries.  For  the  major- 
ity of  the  public  schools  of  the  State,  therefore,  with  one-room  schoolhouses 
without  special  equipment  and  with  one  teacher  without  special  training,  on 
an  average  salary  of  $.34.47  per  month,  with  barely  money  enough  for  a  four- 
months  term  and  for  instruction  in  the  common-school  branches,  with  more 
daily  recitations  already  than  can  be  successfully  conducted,  industrial  edu- 
cation and  technical  training  are  at  present  impracticable. 


30  Work  to  Be  Done  and  Hoav  to  Do  It. 

"A  study  of  the  history  of  this  sort  of  education  will  show  that  it  has  come 
as'  a  later  development,  after  ample  provision  had  been  made  for  thorough 
instruction  in  the  lower  and  in  the  higher  branches  of  study,  in  those  schools 
that  were  provided  with  school  funds  sufficient  for  instruction  in  the  ordi- 
nary school  studies,  for  the  expensive  equipment  and  for  the  teachers  trained 
especially  for  industrial  and  technical  edtication.  In  fact,  I  think  it  will  be 
found  that  such  education  has  been  provided  first  in  the  towns  and  cities  and 
great  centers  of  wealth  and  population  or  in  institutions  generously  supported 
by  large  State  appropriations  or  by  large  endowments.  To  undertake  such 
education  in  the  ordinaiy  rural  schools  of  the  State  in  their  present  condition, 
with  their  present  equipment  and  with  the  meager  funds  available  for  them, 
would  result  in  burlesque  and  failure,  and  would,  in  my  opinion,  set  back  for 
a  generation  or  two  this  important  work. 

"We  might,  however,  begin  to  develop  our  public-school  system  in  that  direc- 
tion in  those  communities  and  counties  where  the  conditions  are  favorable  and 
the  funds  sufficient,  and  we  might  begin  to  devise  ways  and  means  for  pro- 
viding the  necessary  funds  and  making  the  conditions  favorable  in  other  com- 
munities. I  trust  that  means  may  soon  be  found  for  the  establishment  in 
every  comity  of  at  least  one  or  more  schools  for  industrial  and  agricultural 
training.  This  will  require  more  money,  however,  than  is  now  available  for 
public  schools,  and  will  probably  require  both  county  and  State  appropria- 
tions. In  the  meantime  it  is  proper  and  wise  to  cultivate  public  sentiment 
for  this  sort  of  education,  and  to  provide  for  it  as  rapidly  as  we  shall  find 
ways  and  means  for  doing  so.  In  the  meantime,  also,  we  can  continue  to 
give  in  all  our  public  schools  elementaiy  instruction  in  agriculture  and  to 
encourage  nature  study  in  the  schools.  An  admirable  little  text-book  on  agri- 
cultiu'e  has  been  adopted  for  use  in  public  schools,  and  in  the  course  of  study 
sent  out  simple  nature  study  has  been  provided  in  every  grade." 

Farm-life  Schools. — More  than  eight-tenths  of  our  population,  according  to 
the  last  census,  still  live  on  the  farms.  I  hope  the  day  will  never  come  in  the 
history  of  the  South  when  a  majority  of  our  people  will  cease  to  live  in  the 
country.  In  great  crises  in  the  history  of  every  nation  the  hope,  the  strength, 
the  salvation  have  generally  been  found  in  its  country  people.  Its  qmetude  and 
peace,  affording  opportunity  for  meditation  and  reflection,  for  daily  communion 
with  God's  great  teacher,  Nature,  giving  time  for  great  thoughts  and  divine 
emotions  to  take  deep  and  everlasting  root  in  human  hearts  and  human 
character,  its  freedom  from  mad  excitement,  from  artificiality,  from  the  mani- 
fold temptations  of  gilded  vice,  from  the  effeminating  influences  of  luxury  and 
excessive  wealth,  make  the  country  the  ideal  place  for  the  development  of  the 
strongest  type  of  men  and  women,  and  help,  I  think,  to  explain  the  historical 
fact  that  the  country  always  has  been  the  greatest  nursery  of  great  men  and 
women.  The  old  myth  of  Antfeus.  representing  the  earth  giant  as  unconquer- 
able so  long  as  the  contact  between  him  and  his  mother  earth  was  not  broken, 
was  not  all  a  myth.  There  was  a  great  truth  at  the  bottom  of  it,  which  we  in 
modern  times  would  do  well  to  heed. 

We  cannot  hope,  however,  for  the  more  ambitious  and  aspiring  of  our  country 
people  to  continue  to  live  in  the  country  unless  their  children  can  be  given  an 
equal  chance  for  culture  and  training  in  the  country  schools,  and  unless  they 
can  be  taught  to  make  farming  more  profitable  and  farm  life  more  attractive 
by  bringing  into  it  such  modern  conveniences  of  life  as  increased  prosperity 


Work  to  Be  Done  and  How  to  Do  It,  31 

aloue  can  command,  and  enriching  it  with  the  higher  intellectual  and  social 
pleasures  that  sweeten,  soften,  refine  and  adorn  life,  impossible  withuut  intelli- 
gence and  iutelleetual  culture.  If  we  would  keep  the  best  of  the  country  people 
in  the  eoimtry  we  must  find  a  way  to  bring  the  best  of  modern  civilization  into 
the  country  without  forcing  the  country  people  to  leave  the  country  to  get  it. 
We  must  find  a  way  to  shape  our  education  for  country  boys  and  girls  more 
toward  fitting  them  for  making  life  on  the  farm  at  least  as  profitable,  as  pleas- 
ant, as  attractive,  and  as  livable  as  life  iinywhere  else. 

Of  course,  the  first  aim  of  all  education  is  to  make  a  man  and  an  intelligent" 
citizen.  The  successful  farmer  must  first  of  all  be  a  thinking  man,  able  to 
apply  his  intelligence  and  training  to  his  business,  to  mix  his  brains  with  his 
soil.  Our  rural  schools,  therefore,  must  first  of  all  provide  instruction  in  such 
elementary  and  secondary  subjects  as  the  experience  of  the  ages  has  declared 
essential  and  best  for  intellectual  and  moral  mastery.  Beyond  the  point  of  the. 
acquisition  of  these  essentials,  however,  I  believe  it  safe  and  wise  to  shape  the 
course  of  study  for  the  country  boys  and  girls  more  in  the  direction  of  special 
preparation  for  farm  life. 

With  our  limited  means  we  have  been  so  busy  striving  to  provide  sufficient 
elementary  and  secondary  schools  to  place  the  essentials  of  education  in  reach 
of  all  that  we  have  had  neither  the  time  nor  the  money  to  give  serious  atten- 
tion to  the  other  problem.  I  believe,  however,  that  it  is  time  now  for  us  to 
face  this  problem  and  begin  to  seek  to  solve  it  successfully.  Our  Agricultural 
and  Mechanical  College  and  our  State  Department  of  Agriculture  should  be  our 
chief  helpers  in  working  out  this  problem.  I  have  ventured  to  make  some  sug- 
gestions about  this  elsewhere  in  this  Report  in  discussing  the  future  develop- 
ment of  the  public  high  schools.  We  should  study  carefully,  also,  what  has 
been  done  by  others,  and  profit  by  their  successful  experience. 

From  the  information  that  I  have  been  able  to  get,  it  seems  to  me  that  Wis- 
consin has  been  more  successful  than  any  other  State  in  dealing  with  this 
problem  of  providing  practical  schools  at  moderate  expense  for  training  coun- 
try boys  and  girls  for  country  life.  Years  ago  they  began  with  one  such  school 
in  a  small  way,  with  plain  and  inexpensive  buildings  and  equipment,  conducted 
at  an  annual  expense  of  onlj-  a  few  thousand  dollars.  Fortunately,  this  school 
was  under  the  direction  of  practical,  trained  teachers  instead  of  faddish  spe- 
cialists. It  took  hold  of  life  and  conditions  in  the  country  as  they  existed, 
busied  itself  with  the  practical,  everyday  problems  and  tasks  of  farm  life  and 
work  and  with  finding  practical  and  more  profitable  ways  of  doing  those.  It 
had  to  win  its  way  slowly.  The  farmers  of  the  county  in  which  it  was  located 
had  to  be  convinced  of  its  value  a:id  necessity  by  results  obtained,  by  the  prac- 
tical benefits  they  observed  and  derived  from  its  work.  By  keeping  in  close 
touch  with  them  and  gathering  as  many  of  them  as  possible  about  the  school 
once  or  twice  a  year,  they  were  made  to  feel  that  it  was  their  school  in  deed 
and  in  truth,  and  their  hearty  cooperation  was  at  last  secured.  The  school 
was  kept  in  close  touch  with  the  Agricultural  and  Mechanical  College  of  the 
University  of  Wisconsin  and  under  the  general  direction  of  the  members  of  its 
faculty. 

As  the  farmers  of  the  county  in  which  it  was  located  saw  and  felt  the  uplift- 
ing and  transforming  power  of  its  work  in  their  homes  and  on  their  farms, 
they  I'allied  enthusiastically  to  its  support,  and  it  became  their  pride.  Farmers 
of  other  counties  began  to  take  notice  of  its  successful  work,  and  some  of  the 


32  Work  to  Be  Done  and  Hoav  to  Do  It. 

more  intelligent  of  tliem  began  to  demand  a  similar  school  and  to  work  for  it. 
There  are  now,  I  believe,  seven  of  these  schools  in  different  sections  of  the  State 
of  Wisconsin,  all  closely  correlated  with  the  Agricultural  and  Mechanical  Col- 
lege. They  form  the  most  effective  rheans  for  disseminating  among  the  masses 
of  the  people  a  knowledge  of  farming  and  farm  life,  that  I  am  reliably  informed 
has  been  worth  already  millions  of  dollars  in  increased  products  of  the  farms 
and  in  the  increased  value  of  those  products  on  account  of  their  improved 
quality.  What  they  have  been  worth  in  the  transformation  of  the  life  in  the 
farm  homes,  through  the  knowledge  and  training  given  to  hundreds  of  country 
girls  in  these  schools,  cannot  be  measured  in  paltry  dollars. 

I  believe  that  the  time  is  ripe  for  the  establishment  of  county  farm-life 
schools  in  this  State — that  we  have  reached,  in  fact,  that  point  in  our  educa- 
tional development  where  the  establishment  of  such  schools  is  a  necessity.  In 
the  future  we  must  have  in  our  sj'stem  real  rural  schools  and  not  mere  city 
schools  in  the  country — schools  the  training  in  which  will  grow  more  out  of 
rural  life,  tend  more  toward  rural  life  and  fit  better  for  rural  life. 

I  have  recommended  elsewhere  in  this  Report  an  annual  State  appropriation 
of  $50,000  to  aid  in  the  establishment  and  maintenance  of  county  farm-life 
high  schools,  in  conjunction  with  the  best  and  most  conveniently  located  of  the 
existing  county  high  schools,  as  a  part  of  the  regular  county  public  school 
system. 

Beyond  the  point  of  providing  the  common,  univei'sal  essentials  of  intelligence 
and  good  citizenship,  the  education  of  the  many  in  every  community  should  be 
turned  mainly  in  the  direction  of  increased  eflSiciency  in  the  sphere  of  human 
activity  to  which  they  are  best  adapted  by  nature  and  environment,  and  in 
which  they  are  most  needed  and  will,  in  all  probability,  be  most  useful  and  suc- 
cessful, and,  therefore,  most  contented  and  happy.  The  point  in  the  develop- 
ment of  the  public  school  system  of  North  Carolina  has  been  about  reached 
where  a  course  of  study  providing  instruction  in  the  common,  universal  essen- 
tials of  human  intelligence,  reading,  writing  and  arithmetic,  which  must  form 
the  foundation  of  all  education,  and  in  other  elementary  subjects  essential  to 
good  citizenship  and  right  living  in  a  republic,  has  been  placed  within  reason- 
able reach  of  all.  The  next  step,  therefore,  in  the  development  of  the  public 
school  system  must  be  adequate  provision  for  the  preparation  of  the  many  in 
each  community  to  make  the  most  of  what  is  about  them  for  the  most  efficient, 
most  useful,  and  happiest  life  in  their  environment. 

Eighty-two  per  cent  of  the  people  of  North  Carolina  still  dwell  in  the  country 
and  engage  in  agricultural  pursuits.  The  safety,  prosperity,  and  progress  of 
the  State,  the  preservation  of  the  best  in  its  civilization,  according  to  the  evi- 
dence of  all  human  history,  depend  upon  the  preservation  of  a  large,  prosper- 
ous, intelligent,  contented  country  population.  The  keeping  of  a  large  per- 
centage of  our  people  in  the  country,  on  the  farms,  must  of  necessity,  be  predi- 
cated upon  their  preparation,  through  the  right  sort  of  education,  for  making 
farm  life  more  profitable,  thereby  providing  the  means  for  bringing  into 
country  life  the  comforts,  conveniences,  and  higher  pleasures  of  modern  civili- 
zation that  will  make  it  more  livable  and  more  attractive — as  profitable  and 
attractive  as  city  life  or  life  anywhere.  It  is  natural  and  right  that  men 
should  live  where  they  can  make  most  of  themselves  and  get  most  out  of  life 
for  themselves  and  others.  Good  roads,  good  houses,  good  churches,  good 
schools,  good  clothes,  good  food,  good  vehicles,  all  the  necessities,  comforts. 


Work  to  Be  Done  and  How  to  Do  It.  33 

and  conveniences  of  modern  civilization  that  contribute  to  malce  iir(>  more 
livable  and  attractive,  cost  money  in  the  country  as  well  as  in  the  tt)\vn,  and 
can  be  supplied  to  keep  country  people  in  the  country  contented  and  happy 
only  by  providing,  through  their  schools,  for  their  children  the  sort  of  educa- 
tion and  training  that  will  enable  them  to  make  farming  sufficiently  profitable 
to  provide  the  money  necessary  to  secure  these  things. 

Ninety-five  per  cent  of  the  country  children  must  get  their  preparation  for 
making  country  life  more  profitable,  more  pleasant,  more  beautiful,  in  the 
coimti-y  schools  in  their  own  school  districts  and  counties.  These  country 
schools,  therefore,  in  order  to  minister  to  the  needs  of  the  many  in  the 
country  communities,  must  be  adapted  to  the  needs  of  comitry  life  and 
country  people,  must  be  schools  for  country  children,  dealing  more  largely 
with  countiy  things  and  country  life  and  teaching  how  to  make  the  most  out 
of  these,  instead  of  town  schools  transplanted  to  the  country,  dealing  largely 
with  town  things  and  town  life,  and  turning  country  children  toward  the 
town  and  the  city  by  interesting  them  more  in  urban  things  than  in  rural 
things,  and  preparing  them  more  for  urban  life  than  for  rural  life. 

Demand  from  Teachers  and  Farmers  for  Such  Instruction  and  Such 
Schools. — The  demand  for  such  instruction  and  for  such  schools  has  come  from 
the  teachers  as  represented  in  their  various  organizations  and  from  the 
farmers  as  represented  in  their  various  organizations.  For  eight  years  the 
State  Superintendent  of  Public  Instruction,  in  his  Biennial  Report,  has  empha- 
sized the  need  of  industrial  and  agricultural  education  and  the  establishment 
of  such  schools.  Two  years  ago,  in  his  Biennial  Report,  a  chapter  was  de- 
voted specifically  to  the  discussion  and  advocacy  of  the  county  farm-life  high 
schools,  and  notice  was  served  at  that  time  that  an  appropriation  for  the 
establishment  and  maintenance  of  such  schools  would  be  recommended  and 
pressed  upon  the  General  Assembly  of  1911. 

At  the  annual  meetings  of  the  State  Association  of  Ct)unty  Superintendents 
at  Hendersonville  in  September,  1909,  and  at  Chapel  Hill  in  September,  1910, 
the  discussion  of  farm-life  schools  occupied  an  important  place  in  the  pro- 
grams, and  strong  resolutions  were  unanimously  passed,  favoring  the  estab- 
lishment of  such  schools  and  an  appropriation  therefor.  The  North  Carolina 
Teachers'  Assembly,  at  its  annual  meeting  in  Asheville.  in  June,  1910,  also 
imanimously  passed  resolutions  favoring  the  e.-^tablishnient  of  such  schools 
and  the  appropriation  therefor.  The  State  Farmers'  Union,  at  its  annual 
meeting  at  the  A.  and  M.  College,  in  Raleigh,  in  August,  1910,  adopted  en- 
thusiastically and  unanimously,  after  full  and  able  discussion,  the  report  of 
the  educational  committee,  strongly  favoring  the  establishment  of  farm-life 
schools  as  an  organic  part  of  the  public  school  system  and  an  appropriation 
therefor.  The  Farmers'  Union,  through  its  official  paper  and  its  local  imions, 
has  been  carrjing  on  an  active  and  enthusiastic  campaign  for  the  proposition 
ever  since. 

It  would  seem,  therefore,  that  the  teachers  and  the  farmers,  the  two  classes 
most  vitally  interested,  whose  views  upon  a  proposition  of  this  sort  should 
receive  first  consideration,  are  in  hearty  accord  and  cooperation  about  the 
general  proposition  for  agricultural  instruction  and  the  establishment  of 
coimty  farm-life  high  schools,  in  connection  with  and  as  a  part  of  the  pres- 
ent   county   high-school    system.     Committees    on    legislation    have    been    ap-

pointed  by  these  representative  bodies  of  teachers  and  farmers  to  confer  in 
worlcing  out  the  details  of  a  practical  plan  for  the  establishment  and  main- 
tenance of  such  schools  and  to  cooperate  in  securing  the  enactment  of  the 
plan  into  law  and  in  obtaining  an  annual  State  appropriation  for  its  successful 
execution. 

I  submit  below  the  outline  of  a  carefully  considered  plan  for  the  establish- 
ment and  maintenance  of  such  schools,  based  upon  a  study  and  observation 
of  similar  schools  in  the  Middle  West  and  a  knowledge  of  existing  needs  and 
conditions  in  North  Carolina : 

FARM-LIFE   SCHOOLS. 

Additional  State  Appropriation  for  County  Farm-life  Schools. — The  State  is 
now  appropriating  $50,000  annually  to  aid  in  the  establishment  and  main- 
tenance of  high  schools  in  the  counties.  One  hundred  and  seventy-six  of  these 
schools  have  already  been  established  in  eighty-seven  counties,  ranging  in 
number  from  one  to  four  to  the  county,  receiving  annually  for  maintenance 
from  $250  to  $500  each  from  the  State,  and  an  equal  amount  from  the  high- 
school  district  and  the  county  respectively.  On  account  of  the  limited  funds, 
these  high  schools  must  of  necessity  be  devoted  mainly  to  higher  instruction 
in  literary  subjects  and  better  preparation  for  the  ordinary  duties  of  citizen- 
ship, which  is  important  and  necessary ;  but  they  have  not  sufficient  funds  to 
provide  also  the  teachers  and  equipment  needed  for  efficient  and  extended 
special  instruction  in  agriculture  and  home-making  on  the  farm. 

Equipment  and  Maintenance. — It  is  proposed  to  ask  for  an  additional 
appropriation  of  $.50,000  or  $100,000,  to  be  used  for  the  establishment  of  a 
comity  farm-life  high  school  in  conjunction  with  the  best  and  most  conveniently 
located  of  these  literary  high  schools  in  those  counties  complying  with  the  con- 
ditions to  be  prescribed  in  the  law  for  the  adequate  eqmpment  and  maintenance 
of  the  school.  The  equipment  of  such  a  school  will  necessarily  include  a  farm 
large  enough  for  demonstration  purposes  and  practical  work  and  instruction  in 
all  agricultural  pursuits,  a  baru  for  practice  and  instruction  in  dairying,  a  dor- 
mitory for  the  accommodation,  at  actual  cost  of  living,  of  the  boys  and  girls 
from  parts  of  the  county  too  remote  for  them  to  walk  or  ride  to  the  school, 
a  corps  of  competent,  efficient  teachers,  some  of  whom  must,  of  course,  be 
especially  trained  in  subjects  pertaining  to  agriculture,  housekeeping  and 
home-making.  The  equipment  should  be  modest  and  comparatively  inexpen- 
sive, such  as  would  be  within  reasonable  reach  of  any  fairly  intelligent,  indus- 
trious, prosperous  farmer  in  that  county.  The  course  of  study  should  minister 
to  the  needs  of  the  two  classes  of  students,  the  smaller  number  desiring 
preparation  for  college  and  the  larger  number  that  will,  in  all  likelihood, 
complete  at  this  school  their  preparation  for  life  on  the  farm.  The  parents 
of  both  classes  of  students  pay  taxes  for  the  maintenance  of  the  school  and 
are  of  right  entitled  to  have  provision  made  for  their  children.  Instruction 
will  be  the  same  for  both  classes  in  most  of  the  common  literary  subjects, 
and  in  these  subjects  can  be  given  by  the  same  teachers.  The  holding  of  the 
two  classes  of  students  together,  carrying  on  their  work  in  the  same  school, 
and  in  many  subjects  in  the  same  classes,  side  by  side,  will  be  more  econom- 
ical, more  just,  more  democratic,  will  tend  to  inspire  in  each  a  greater  respect 
for  and  sympathy  with  the  other,  and  will  help  to  overcome  harmful  social 
cleavage  along  vocational  lines  and  to  eliminate  false  distinctions  of  honor

and  social  standing  between  industrial  workers  and  professional  workers. 
For  the  preservation  of  tlie  homogeneity  of  our  people  and  the  integrity  of 
our  democracy,  the  vocational  and  the  cultural,  the  literary  and  the  agricul- 
tural and  the  industrial,  must  be  held  together  in  our  system  of  schools.  In 
a  democracy  like  ours  peasant  schools  or  separate  schools  for  separate  classes 
should  find  no  place. 

Cost  of  Equipment  and  Maintenance. — Last  fall  the  writer  availed  himself  of 
an  opportunity  to  visit  and  investigate  a  number  of  successful  agricultural 
high  schools  in  Wisconsin  and  the  Middle  West,  with  a  view  to  informing 
himself  upon  this  subject  preparatory  to  the  establishment  of  farm-life 
schools  in  North  Carolina,  because  he  has  been  interested  in  them  and  has 
foreseen  for  years  that  they  were  a  necessity  which  the  people  of  North  Caro- 
lina would  wisely  provide  for  the  education  of  their  children  in  the  near 
future. 

According  to  the  best  information  that  he  could  obtain,  from  $4,000  to 
$6,000  annually  will  be  required  to  maintain  and  successfully  operate  a 
county  farm:life  school,  and  the  equipment  therefor  will  cost  from  $10,000  to 
$25,000.  It  would,  of  course,  be  unfortunate  to  undertake  these  schools  with- 
out adequate  funds  and  equipment  for  their  successful  operation,  for  their 
failure  would  retard  educational  progress  along  these  lines,  discourage  the 
people,  and  prevent  for  years  any  further  growth  or  development  of  this 
important  movement. 

The  farm-life  part  of  the  school,  for  the  instruction  of  the  boys  and  girls  in 
agricultural  and  home-making  subjects,  will,  of  course,  prove  a  failure  and  a 
farce,  unless  the  right  sort  of  teachers,  with  the  right  sort  of  scientific  and 
special  training,  practical  experience  and  common  sense,  can  be  secured  to 
direct  it.  Such  teachers  are  difficult  to  find  at  present,  and  command  good 
salaries  when  found.  The  demand  for  them  is  already  greater  than  the 
supply. 

How  to  Provide  Equipment  and  Funds  for  Maintenance. — How  shall  the 
equipment  and  the  funds  for  annual  maintenance  be  provided?  My  observa- 
tion and  experience  have  led  me  to  the  conclusion  that  people  appreciate  more, 
are  bound  more  closely  to  and  support  more  heartily  schools  that  they  have 
helped  to  pay  for  and  make  some  financial  sacrifice  to  get.  In  a  government 
like  ours,  the  responsibility  and  obligation  for  the  education  of  the  children 
is  threefold,  as  are  the  benefits  derived  therefrom.  The  State  owes  an  obliga- 
tion to  the  child,  as  the  child  and  future  citizen  of  the  State ;  the  county  owes 
an  obligation  to  the  child,  as  the  child  and  future  citizen  of  the  county ;  the 
community  owes  an  obligation  to  the  child,  as  the  child  and  future  citizen  of 
the  community ;  and  each  will  presvimably  derive  a  correlative  benefit  from  the 
development,  through  education,  of  the  power  in  the  child,  and  of  his  efficiency 
as  a  worker  and  a  citizen.  Our  entire  public  school  system  is  based  upon  this 
democratic  idea  of  the  threefold  division  of  the  responsibility  and  the  burden 
and  the  threefold  sharing  of  the  benefits.  ^ 

This  farm-life  school  should  become  an  organic  part  of  the  State  and  county 
system  of  schools,  and  should  be  equipped  and  maintained  in  accordance  with 
the  same  general  plan  for  the  equipment  and  maintenance  of  the  other  parts 
of  the  system.  The  State  should  provide  part,  the  county  and  the  community 
part,  thereby  tying  all  three  closely  in  interest  and  responsibility  to  the 
school. 


36  WoKK  TO  Be  Done  and  How  to  Do  It. 

It  is  proposed,  therefore,  that  out  of  the  special  State  appropriation  of 
$50,000,  $2,500  should  be  anuually  apportioned  for  the  maintenance  of  the 
county  farm-life  school  in  those  counties  that  will  provide,  by  special  tax,  at 
least  an  equal  amount  for  maintenance  annually,  and  that  will  provide  further, 
before  the  State  apportionment  for  maintenance  shall  be  available,  adequate 
equipment  in  buildings,  farm,  etc.,  the  equipment  to  be  provided  by  the  county 
and  the  community  securing  the  location  of  the  school  by  bond  issue  or  by 
private  subscriptions  and  donations,  or  by  both.  This  would  provide  for  the 
equipment,  and  for  an  annual  maintenance  fund  of  at  least  $5,000.  The 
county  could,  of  course,  increase  the  equipment  and  maintenance  fund  accord- 
ing to  the  needs  of  the  school  as  it  gi'ew  and  developed. 

Of  course,  an  annual  State  appropriation  of  $50,000  would  provide  for  the 
establishment  and  maintenance  of  only  twenty  county  farm-life  schools.  An 
annual  appropriation  of  $100,000  would  provide  for  twice  the  number.  These 
schools  should,  of  course,  be  established  first  in  counties  where  the  environ- 
ment and  agricultural  conditions  and  public  sentiment  are  favorable  for  their 
success. 

On  account  of  the  conditions  prescribed  for  the  county  and  community,  of 
the  difficulty  of  getting  a  sufficient  number  of  the  right  sort  of  teachers  for 
them,  and  of  the  special  and  careful  attention  and  supervision  that  should 
be  given  these  schools,  especially  for  the  first  several  years,  I  do  not  think 
that  it  would  be  wise,  even  if  we  had  sufficient  funds,  to  undertake  the  estab- 
lishment and  operation  of  more  than  fifteen  or  twenty  of  such  schools  the 
first  two  years.  If  possible,  some  of  the  first  established  schools  should  be 
located  in  each  section  of  the  State,  so  as  to  deal  with  the  different  agricul- 
tural and  soil  conditions  in  each  section.  As  these  schools,  under  careful 
supervision,  direction,  and  economical  administration,  by  the  results  obtained 
demonstrated  their  value  and  practicability,  the  demand  for  them  in  other 
counties  would  increase  with  the  passing  years,  until  finally  the  entire  State 
would  be  covered. 

It  is  exceedingly  important  that  we  should  start  no  more  at  first  than  we 
can  reasonably  hope  to  make  eminently  successful.  The  success  of  every  new 
movement  depends  largely  upon  the  success  of  the  first  experiment.  In  the 
meantime,  provision  could  be  made  in  the  law  for  sharing  on  reasonable 
terms  the  benefits  of  these  farm-life  schools  with  the  country  boys  and  girls  in 
adjoining  and  other  arcessible  counties. 

Benefit  of  Such  Schools. — What  are  some  of  the  benefits  that  may  reason- 
ably be  expected  from  an  adequately  equipped  and  successfully  operated 
comity  farm-life  school?  Such  a  school  should  become  an  intellectual,  agricul- 
tural, and  industrial  dynamo  for  the  entire  county.  Its  farm-life  work  should 
be  twofold :  the  instruction  and  training  of  scores  of  country  boys  and  girls 
annually  in  the  best  methods  of  farming,  dairying,  orcharding,  stock  fudging, 
and  stock  raising,  handling  and  marketing  crops,  cooking,  sewing,  and  other 
things  pertaining  to  housekeeping  and  home-making.  Such  training  and  prac- 
tical instruction  would  send  them  back  to  the  farm  prepared  to  make  farming 
more  profitable,  farm  life  more  livable,  farm-houses  more  comfortable  and 
more  beautiful.  These,  in  their  various  communities,  would  become  sources  of 
inspiration  and  disseminators  of  agricultural  information  and  demonstration 
for  their  neighbors,  in  this  way  aiding  greatly  in  the  improvement  of  the  agri- 
cultural conditions  of  the  entire  county,  and  increasing  the  wealth,  the  tax- 


Work  to  Be  Done  and  How  to  Do  It.  37 

able  values  of  all  its  property,  and  the  general  prosperity  and  progress.  In 
a  word,  the  boys  so  trained  would  become,  in  their  oonnuunities,  eloquent 
apostles  and  living  examples  of  better  and  more  profitable  farming,  and  the 
girls  so  trained  would  become,  in  their  homes,  epistles  known  and  read  of  all 
in  the  sweetest  and  finest  of  all  arts,  the  art  of  making  a  comfortable  and 
beautiful  home,  in  the  best  environment  in  the  world  for  such  a  home — the 
very  heart  of  nature. 

Extension  and  Demonstration  Work. — Such  a  school,  in  the  second  place, 
could  and  would,  through  its  faculty,  carry  on  most  valuable  extension  and 
demonstration  work  among  the  farmers  and  their  wives  in  all  parts  of  the 
county,  meeting  with  them  from  time  to  time  in  their  communities  for  instruc- 
tion and  demonstration  in  all  things  pertaining  to  their  farm  life  and  work,  in 
this  way  carrying  to  them  the  new  truth  and  the  new  light,  and  pointing 
them  to  the  better  way.  From  time  to  time,  these  farmers  and  their  wives 
could  and  would  be  gathered  about  the  school  for  instruction,  for  inspiration, 
for  socializing,  for  organization  and  cooperation. 

In  this  and  other  ways,  such  a  school  would  indeed  prove  a  continual 
dynamo  of  agricultural  interest  and  farm-life  instruction  and  inspiration. 
Through  it  the  larger  agencies  of  the  A.  and  M.  College,  the  State  Department 
of  Agriculture,  and  the  National  Department  of  Agriculture  could  operate 
more  effectively  and  successfully,  and  the  interest  aroused  by  these  larger 
agencies  could  be  husbanded,  applied,  and  permanently  continued.  The  work 
of  the  school  could  be  correlated  with  the  college,  and  many  a  boy  and  girl 
would  be  inspired  by  the  taste  of  better  things  to  drink  more  deeply  at  the 
larger  fountain  ever  flowing  in  copious  streams  in  their  colleges  and  to  pre- 
pare themselves  for  splendid  leadership. 

Such  a  school  would  become  a  county  training  school  for  the  rank  and  file  of 
the  rural  school  teachers,  in  agricultural  as  well  as  literary  subjects.  The 
head  of  the  agricultural  department  of  such  a  school  could  be  made  the  super- 
visor of  agricultural  instruction  in  all  the  public  schools  of  the  county,  and 
in  cooperation  with  the  County  Superintendent,  through  instruction  of  the 
county  teachers  in  the  meetings  of  their  county  teachers'  association,  and 
through  visitation  of  the  schools  with  the  County  Superintendent  .from  time 
to  time,  could  aid  in  creating  a  farm-life  atmosphere  in  the  rural  schools  and 
in  bringing  into  them  such  simple  elementary  instruction  in  agriculture  as 
could  be  made  practical  and  effective  through  intelligent  and  interested 
teachers  under  intelligent  instruction.  It  would  be  altogether  possible  and 
practical  for  successful  work  in  agriculture,  cooking,  sewing,  and  other  house- 
keeping subjects  to  be  carried  on  under  supervision  of  the  teachers  in  the 
county  farm-life  school  on  a  smaller  scale  in  other  high  schools  of  the  county, 
and  perhaps  in  a  number  of  the  other  public  schools,  especially  in  the  local-tax 
schools  with  two  or  more  teachers. 

Leavening  the  Whole  Lump. — The  whole  lump  would  finally  be  leavened. 
Intelligence  would  demand  and  more  money  would  command  for  country  life, 
good  roads,  good  schools,  good  churches,  good  vehicles,  and  the  thousands  of 
comforts  and  conveniences  that  break  up  the  isolation  of  country  life  and 
bring  into  it  all  the  best  of  city  life  without  its  worst.  Thus,  indeed,  by  train- 
ing the  children  to  find  and  make  the  most  of  the  countless  treasures  God  has 
hidden  in  soil  and  stream,  in  rock  and  tree,  in  plant  and  air  and  cloud,  may 
the  country  life  be  transformed  into  the  ideal  life,  and  country  men  and  women

enter  into  the  rich  iuheritance  prepared  from  the  beginning  for  them — a 
healthful  life  of  freedom,  fullness,  sweetness,  peace,  and  beauty.  Then  will 
men  desire  it  more,  seek  it  more,  and  live  it  more  contentedly  and  happily. 

Some  will  say  that  I  have  overdrawn  the  picture.  Not  so.  I  have  but  inad- 
equately portrayed  what  I  have  already  seen  the  beginning  of  in  other  favored 
portions  of  our  own  land.  Only  through  the  portals  of  such  a  school  as  we 
have  endeavored  to  describe  can  our  country  boys  and  girls  enter  into  and  pos- 
sess this  promised  land  lying  all  about  them.  Shall  we  provide  it,  or  shall  we 
not?  The  cost  of  the  schools  will  be  as  nothing  compared  with  the  richness 
in  money  and  in  life  that  they  will  bring  through  the  passing  years.  If  we 
can  but  start  them  now  and  set  them  at  their  everlasting  work,  the  battle  will 
be  won,  for  the  people,  seeing  and  enjoying  their  beneficent  work,  will  be  more 
able  and  more  willing  to  give  for  their  maintenance  and  enlargement  as  the 
years  go  by. 

Illiteracy  and  Nonattendance  and  How  to  Overcome  Them — Compulsory 
Attendance.- — With  175,325  native  white  illiterates  over  ten  years  of  age,  or 
19.G  per  cent,  according  to  the  United  States  Census  of  1900;  with  54,208,  or 
19  per  cent,  native  white  illiterates  of  voting  age;  with  45,632  native  white 
illiterates  between  ten  and  nineteen  years  of  age ;  with  only  69.5  per  cent  of 
the  white  children  between  the  ages  of  six  and  twenty-one  enrolled  in  the 
public  schools  and  only  43  per  cent  of  them  in  regular  daily  attendance;  with 
about  137,340  white  children  between  these  ages  unenrolled  in  the  public 
schools ;  with  North  Carolina  still  standing  in  the  United  States  Census  of  1900 
next  to  the  last  in  the  column  of  white  illiteracy,  the  urgent  need  of  finding  and 
enforcing  some  means  of  changing  as  rapidly  as  possible  these  appalling  con- 
ditions must  be  apparent  to  every  thoughtful,  patriotic  son  of  the  State.*  Two 
means  suggest  themselves:  (1)  Attraction  and  persuasion.  (2)  Compulsory 
attendance. 

Attraction  and  Persuasion. — "Much  has  been  done,  much  more  can  be  done, 
to  increase  attendance  through  the  attractive  power  of  better  houses  and 
grounds,  better  teachers,  and  longer  terms.  An  attractive  schoolhouse  and  a 
good  teacher  in  every  district,  making  a  school  commanding  by  its  work  public 
confidence,  respect  and  pride,  would  do  much  to  overcome  nonattendance. 
The  attractive  power  of  improved  schools  and  equipment  to  increase  attend- 
ance is  clearly  demonstrated  by  the  statistics  of  this  Report,  which  show,  with 
few  exceptions,  the  largest  per  cent  of  attendance  in  consolidated  districts, 
rural  special-tax  districts  and  entire  counties  that  have  the  largest  school 
fund,  the  longest  school  terms,  and  the  best  schools. 

"The  general  rule  seems  to  be,  then,  that  attendance  is  in  direct  proportion 
to  the  efficiency  .of  the  schools  and  the  school  system.  I  have  already  called 
your  attention  to  the  fact  that  with  the  improvement  in  the  public  schoolhouse 
and  schools,  and  the  increased  educational  interest  during  the  past  few  years, 
has  come  also  an  increase  in  the  per  cent  of  enrollment  and  attendance  in  the 
public  schools. 

"Much  can  also  be  done  to  increase  the  attendance  upon  the  public  schools 
by  earnest  teachers,  who  will  go, into  the  homes  of  indifferent  or  selfish  parents 
whose  children  are  not  in  school,  and  by  persuasive  argument  and  tact  and 
appeals  to  parental  pride  induce  many  of  these  parents  to  send  their  children ; 


♦These  figures  have,  of  course,  been  materially  decreased  since  the  United  States  Census 
of  1900,  but  the  figures  for  the  census  of  1910  are  not  available  for  this  Report. 


Work  to  Be  Done  and  How  to  Do  It.  39 

who  will  seek  out  children  iu  homes  of  poverty,  and  remove,  through  quiet, 
blessed  charity,  the  causes  of  their  detention  from  school.  From  the  census 
and  from  the  report  of  the  preceding  teacher  recorded  in  the  school  register 
each  teacher  can  ascertain  at  the  beginning  of  the  session  the  names  of  all 
illiterates  and  nonattendants  of  school  age  in  the  district  and  the  reported 
causes  of  nonattendance.  Under  the  rules  recommended  by  the  State  Super- 
intendent and  adopted  by  many  comity  boards  of  education  the  teacher  is 
required  to  spend  two  days  immediately  preceding  the  opening  of  the  school  in 
visiting  the  parents  and  making  special  efforts  to  get  these  children  to  attend 
school.  I  have  no  doubt  that  many  of  these  can  be  and  will  be  reached  by 
these  efforts.  Much  can  be  done,  also,  by  active,  efficient  school  committeemen 
and  other  school  officers,  who  will  take  an  interest  in  the  school  and  aid  the 
teachers  in  finding  and  bringing  in  the  children. 

"The  compelling  power  of  public  opinion  will  do  much  to  bring  children  into 
the  school.  Logically,  as  public  sentiment  for  education  increases,  public  senti- 
ment against  nonattendance  will  increase.  Public  opinion  might,  in  many 
communities,  be  brought  to  the  point  of  rendering  it  almost  disgraceful  for 
parents  to  keep  children  at  home  without  excellent  excuse  during  the  session 
of  the  schools.  Self-respecting  parents  would  be  loath  to  defy  such  a  public 
opinion  and  run  the  risk  of  forfeiting  the  esteem  of  the  best  people  of  the 
community. 

"It  is  the  tragic  truth,  however,  that  there  are  some  parents  so  blinded  by 
ignorance  to  the  value  and  importance  of  education,  and  others  so  lazy, 
thriftless  or  selfish  that  they  cannot  be  reached  by  the  power  of  attraction  and 
persuasion,  or  the  mild  compulsion  of  public  opinion."  It  is  the  sad  truth 
that  those  whose  children  most  need  the  benefits  offered  by  the  public  schools 
are  hardly  to  be  reached  by  any  other  means  but  compulsion. 

No  stronger  or  more  conclusive  evidence  of  the  impossibility  of  overcoming 
illiteracy  and  nonattendance  by  the  mild  means  of  attraction,  persuasion  and 
public  opinion  can  be  found  than  the  fact,  revealed  by  this  Report,  that  the 
percentage  of  enrollment  and  attendance  is  larger  in  the  rural  districts  than 
in  the  towns  and  cities  with  their  superior  attractions  of  better  houses,  longer 
terms,  more  teachers,  trained  superintendents,  shorter  distance  to  travel,  paved 
streets,  etc. 

Compulsory  Attendance. — Knowing  the  conservatism  and  the  independence 
of  our  people  and  their  natural  resentment  of  the  suggestion  of  compulsion 
in  anything,  I  have  been  slow  in  reaching  the  conclusion  that  a  compulsory 
attendance  law  was  necessary  and  wise  for  North  Carolina.  A  careful  investi- 
gation of  the  existing  conditions  in  North  Carolina  and  of  the  means  by  which 
similar  conditions  have  been  effectively  remedied  in  other  States  and  other 
countries  has  forced  me  to  the  conclusion  that  nonattendance,  irregularity  of 
attendance  and  the  resulting  illiteracy  will  never  be  overcome  except  by 
reasonable,  conservative  compulsory  laws.  For  eight  years  and  more  we  have 
been  building  new,  attractive,  comfortable  schoolhouses  at  the  average  rate 
of  more  than  one  a  day  for  every  day  in  the  year ;  we  have  been  improving 
the  equipment  and  increasing  in  every  way  the  attractiveness  of  the  houses 
and  grounds ;  we  have  been  carrying  on  a  vigorous  campaign  with  considerable 
success  through  a  friendly  press,  through  public  addresses,  through  the  wide- 
spread circulation  of  literature  for  the  cultivation  of  public  sentiment  and  for 
the  increase  of  interest  and  enthusiasm  for  education ;  we  have  been  increasing 


40  Work  to  Be  Done  and  How  to  Do  It. 

expenditures  for  all  educational  purposes ;  we  have  been  systematizing  and 
improving  the  course  of  study ;  we  have  been  increasing  the  compensation,  the 
efficiency  and  the  qualifications  of  county  superintendents  and  teachers;  we 
have  been  lengthening  the  school  term ;  county  superintendents,  teachers  and 
school  officers  have  been  increasing  their  efforts  to  increase  the  attendance,  and 
still  thousands  of  white  and  colored  children  have  remained  out  of  the  schools 
and  are  now  on  the  straight  road  to  illiteracy.  In  spite  of  all  these  efforts  of 
attraction  and  persuasion,  the  per  cent  of  enrollment  during  the  seven  years, 
and  the  per  cent  of  average  daily  attendance,  have  been  increased  but  little. 

The  tendency  of  illiteracy  is  to  perpetuate  itself.  The  majority  of  these 
illiterate  children  are  the  children  of  illiterates  and  perhaps  the  descendants 
of  generations  of  illiterates.  It  is  natural  that  ignorance  and  illiteracy,  being 
incapable  of  understanding  or  appreciating  the  value  and  the  necessity  of  edu- 
cation, should  be  indifferent  and  apathetic  toward  it — just  as  natural  as  it 
is  for  the  children  of  darkness  to  love  darkness  rather  than  light.  The  in- 
tervention of  the  strong  arm  of  the  law  is  the  only  effective  means  of  saving 
the  children  of  illiteracy  from  the  curse  of  illiteracy.  The  intervention  of 
the  strong  arm  of  the  law  is,  in  my  opinion,  the  only  hope  of  saving,  also,  the 
children  of  literate,  and  sometimes  intelligent,  parents  from  the  carelessness, 
indifference,  incompetency,  laziness,  thriftlessness  or  selfishness  of  such 
parents. 

No  child  is  responsible  for  coming  into  the  world,  nor  for  his  environment 
when  he  comes.  Every  child  has  a  right  to  have  the  chance  to  develop  the 
power  to  make  the  most  possible  of  himself  in  spite  of  his  environment  during 
the  helpless  and  irresponsible  period  of  childhood.  No  man,  not  even  a  parent, 
has  any  right  to  deprive  any  child  of  this  inalienable  right.  This  light  is 
vouchsafed  as  a  constitutional  right  to  every  child  in  North  Carolina  by  the 
following  clauses  of  our  State  Constitution : 

"The  people  have  the  right  to  the  privilege  of  education,  and  it  is  the  duty 
of  the  State  to  guard  and  maintain  that  right."     Article  I,  section  27. 

"Religion,  morality,  and  knowledge  being  necessary  to  good  government  and 
the  happiness  of  mankind,  schools  and  the  means  of  education  shall  forever 
be  encouraged."     Article  IX,  section  1. 

"Every  person  presenting  himself  for  registration  (to  vote)  shall  be  able 
to  read  and  write  any  section  of  the  Constitution  in  the  English  language" 
(which  went  into  "effect  December  1,  1908).     Article  VI,  section  4. 

The  right  of  the  State  to  intervene  and  protect  the  child  in  this  right  and 
to  protect  itself,  society,  and  humanity  against  the  ignorance  of  the  child  is 
recognized  and  clearly  set  forth  in  the  following  clause  in  the  State  Constitu- 
tion :  "The  General  Assembly  is  hereby  empowered  to  enact  that  every  child 
of  sufficient  mental  and  physical  ability  shall  attend  the  public  schools  during 
the  period  between  the  ages  of  six  and  eighteen  years  for  a  term  of  not  less 
than  sixteen  months,  unless  educated  by  other  means."    Article  IX,  section  15. 

Not  only  has  the  child  a  natural  and  constitutional  right  to  have  the  chance 
to  develop  through  education  the  powers  that  God  has  given  him,  and  thereby 
make  the  most  of  himself,  and.  therefore,  to  have  the  law  intervene,  if  neces- 
sary, to  secure  this  right  to  him,  but  the  taxpayer,  also,  has  a  right  to  de- 
mand the  intervention  of  the  Government  that  compels  him  to  pay  his  taxes 
for  the  support  of  the  schools,  to  secure  to  him  the  protection  that  he  pays 
for  against  the  ignorance  of  the  child.  The  Government  has  the  right  to 
intervene,  if  necessary,  to  protect  itself,  society,  libertj^  and  property  against

the  dangers  to  all  to  be  found  in  ignorance,  according  to  the  experience  of 
mankind  and  the  evidence  of  all  human  histoi'y.  If  it  has  the  right'  to  tax 
its  citizens  for  protection,  it  has  the  right  to  adopt  the  necessary  means 
to  insure,  as  far  as  possible,  that  protection.  If  the  State  or  the  community 
has  the  right  to  correct  and  punish  crime  and  vice,  so  often  resulting  from 
ignorance  and  illiteracy,  it  ought  to  have  the  right  to  take  the  necessary  steps 
to  remove  the  cause.  Prevention  is  cheaper  and  better  always  than  correction 
and  punishment. 

Compulsory  attendance  laws  are  the  only  means  found  effective  by  other 
States  and  other  countries  of  the  world  for  overcoming  illiteracy  or  largely 
reducing  it.  Practically  all  important  foreign  countries,  except  the  ignorant 
countries  of  Russia,  Spain,  and  Turkey,  have  found  it  necessary  to  adopt  com- 
pulsoiy  attendance  laws  in  order  to  overcome  illiteracy,  and  have  found  them 
effective  in  overcoming  it.  Thirty-live  of  the  46  States  of  the  American  Union 
have  been  compelled  to  resort  to  the  same  means  of  overcoming  it,  and  are 
finding  the  means  effective.  Illiteracy  is  least  in  the  States  and  countries  that 
have  compulsory  attendance  laws,  and  greatest  in  those  that  have  not.  West 
Virginia  and'  Kentucky  are  the  only  States  which  may  be  called  Southern 
that  have  such  laws.  Eighteen  per  ce;it  of  the  total  white  population  of  the 
United  States  reside  in  the  Southern  States ;  33  per  cent  of  all  the  white 
illiterates  of  the  United  States  reside  in  the  Southern  States.  The  compulsory 
attendance  States  and  countries  contain  more  than  80  per  cent  of  all  the 
people  of  the  world  that  we  call  enlightened  and  progressive,  and  are  the 
greatest,  richest,  and  most  progressive  people  in  the  world.  No  State  or 
country  in  modern  times,  so  far  as  I  have  been  able  to  ascertain,  has  ever 
repealed  a  compulsory  attendance  law  after  it  was  once  enacted.  If  such 
laws  have  been  found  beneficial  and  effective  in  all  these  great  States  and 
countries,  will  they  prove  otherwise  for  North  Carolina?  One  of  the  most 
striking  illustrations  of  the  effectiveness  of  compulsory  attendance  laws  in 
reducing  illiteracy  is  that  of  France.  In  1S82  a  compulsory  education  act 
went  into  effect.  At  that  time  31  per  cent  of  the  French  people  were  illit- 
erate ;  in  1900,  the  illiteracy  had  been  reduced  to  6  per  cent.  As  bearing 
upon  the  question  of  effectiveness  of  compulsory  attendance  laws  in  reducing 
or  overcoming  illiteracy,  the  following  tables  of  comparative  illiteracy  in 
typical  Southern  States  that  have  no  compulsor.y  attendance  laws  and  typical 
New  England  and  Western  States  that  have  such  laws  will  be  interesting  and 
suggestive :

The  tide  of  emigration  has  evidently  flowed  from  illiterate  to  literate ;  from 
ignorance  to  intelligence ;  from  darkness  to  light. 

To  sum  up,  in  view  of  the  fact  that  only  69.5  per  cent  of  the  total  school 
population  of  the  State,  71.6  per  cent  of  the  White  and  65.2  per  cent  of  the 
colored,  is  ever  enrolled  in  the  public  schools  and  only  about  45  per  cent  of

attendance;  in  view  of  the  large  number  of  illiterates,  white  and  colored,  and 
of  the  large  number  of  children  of  school  age  on  the  straight  road  to  illiteracy 
in  North  Carolina,  can  any  honest  citizen  doubt  the  need  of  the  intervention 
of  the  strong  arm  of  the  law  through  compulsory  attendance  to  overcome  such 
conditions?  In  view  of  the  constitutional  provisions  guaranteeing  to  every 
child  the  privilege  of  education  and  imposing  upon  the  State  the  duty  to 
provide  it  and  encourage  the  means  for  it,  and  of  the  constitutional  amendment 
recently  adopted  prescribing  an  educational  qualification  for  suffrage  and  citi- 
zenship ;  in  view  of  the  divine  right  of  every  child  to  make  the  most  possible 
of  himself  in  spite  of  any  sort  of  environment  in  childhood,  for  which  he  can 
in  no  sense  be  held  responsible,  can  any  citizen  fail  to  recognize  the  constitu- 
tional and  the  natural  right  of  every  child  to  have  guaranteed  to  him  the 
opportunity  to  get  an  education  and  the  duty  of  the  law  to  intervene  to  pre- 
vent any  man  from  depriving  any  child  of  this  natural  and  constitutional  right? 
In  view  of  the  fundamental  fact  established  by  the  experience  of  mankind  that 
in  universal  education  is  to  be  found  the  best  pi-otection  to  life,  liberty  and 
property,  and  that,  therefore,  it  is  right  and  wise  for  the  Government  to  tax 
every  citizen-  to  provide  the  means  of  miiversal  education,  and  thereby  secure 
protection  to  himself  and  to  every  other  citizen  ;  in  view  of  the  further  fact  that 
every  citizen  taxed  for  this  purpose  has  the  right  to  demand  from  the  Govern- 
ment compelling  him  to  pay  the  tax  the  protection  that  he  has  paid  for  against 
the  ignorance  of  every  child,  can  any  reasonable  man  doubt  the  right  and  the 
duty  of  the  State  and  the  community  to  compel  the  child  to  use  the  means 
of  protection  provided,  and  to  intervene  to  prevent  the  parent  from  preventing 
the  child  from  using  them?  In  view  of  the  further  fact  that  compulsory  at- 
tendance laws  are  the  only  means  found  effective  in  all  other  States  and  in  all 
fox'eign  countries  for  reducing  and  overcoming  illiteracy,  is  not  any  I'easonable 
man  forced  to  the  conclusion  that  North  Carolina,  will  be  compelled  to  resort 
to  the  same  means  in  order  to  bring  all  of  her  children  into  the  schools  pro- 
vided for  them  and  thus  reduce  illiteracy  and  secure  to  every  child  his  right, 
to  the  Government  its  safety,  and  to  the  taxpayer  the  protection  that  he  pays 
for? 

There  is  already  considerable  sentiment  in  the  State  for  a  compulsory  attend- 
ance law,  and  the  sentiment  seems  to  be  increasing.  The  conditions  are  so 
different  in  different  sections  and  different  comities  of  the  State  that  it  might 
not  be  wise  to  pass  a  State  compulsory  attendance  law  and  undertake  to  put 
it  into  operation  at  once  in  every  part  of  the  State.  It  is  safest  not  to  force 
public  opinion,  but  to  cultivate  it  along  right  lines  with  patience  and  pei'sist- 
ence  and  tact.  In  communities  and  counties  in  which  the  conditions  are  favor- 
able for  it,  and  in  which  a  healthy  public  sentiment  demands  it  or  can  be 
brought  to  demand  it,  I  can  see  no  good  reason  now  why  compulsory  attend- 
ance should  not  be  adopted  and  enforced.  There  are  already  many  such  com- 
munities, and  even  some  entire  counties. 

Compulsory  Attendance  Acts  of  1907  and  1909. — The  General  Assembly  of 
1907  passed  a  compulsoi-y  attendance  law,  which  was  amended  by  the  General 
Assembly  of  1909.  All  the  machinery  necessary  for  the  successful  execution 
of  the  law  is  set  forth  in  the  act,  and  the  County  Board  of  Education  is  author- 
ized to  put  the  law  into  execution  for  any  school,  school  district,  township, 
upon  vote  of  a  majority  of  the  qualified  voters  therein,  in  an  election  duly 
ordered  and  held,  or  upon  a  petition  of  a  majority  of  the  parents  of  the  chil- 


44  Work  to  Be  Done  and  How  to  Do  It. 

dren  of  school  age  therein.  It  is  left  in  the  discretion  of  the  County  Board 
of  Education  to  order  the  election  or  to  grant  the  petition  without  election,  or 
to  yefuse  to  do  either. 

Only  a  few  districts  have  as  yet  availed  themselves  of  this  law  and  adopted 
compulsory  attendance.  It  seems  to  be  working  well  in  those  districts.  It  is 
hoped  that  many  more  districts  will  avail  themselves  of  it  during  the  next  two 
years,  and  it  is  contemplated  to  have  a  campaign  next  summer  for  the  culti- 
vation of  sentiment  for  compulsory  attendance  in  many  communities  where 
conditions  for  it  are  favorable.  Good  roads  and  transportation  of  pupils  will 
greatly  increase  attendance  and  open  the  way  for  a  wider  adoption  and  enforce- 
ment of  our  compulsory  attendance  law. 

Improvement  of  Teachers  and  Increase  of  Teachers'  Salaries. — "Without 
the  vitalizing  touch  of  a  properly  qualified  teacher,  houses,  grounds,  and 
eciuipment  are  largely  dead  mechanism.  It  is  the  teacher  that  breathes  the 
breath  of  life  into  the  school.  Better  schools  are  impossible  without  better 
teachers.  Better  teachers  are  impossible  without  better  education,  better 
training,  and  better  opportunities  for  them  to  obtain  such  education  and  train- 
ing. Better  education  and  better  training  and  the  utilization  of  better  oppor- 
tunities for  these  by  teachers  are  impossible  without  better  pay  for  teachers. 
Reason  as  we  may  about  it,  gush  as  we  may  about  the  nobility  of  the  work 
and  the  glorious  rewards  of  it  hereafter,  back  of  this  question  of  better 
teachers  must  still  lie  the  cold  business  question  of  better  pay. 

"The  average  salary  of  rural  white  teachers  in  North  Carolina  in  1910  was 
.$34  47 ;  the  average  salary  of  colored  teachers  was  $23.48 ;  the  average  length 
of  the  rural  school  term  was  92.7  days  for  white  and  81.7  days  for  colored ; 
making  the  average  annual  salary  of  rural  white  teachers  in  North  Carolina, 
therefore,  $159.79,  and  the  average  annual  salary  of  rural  colored  teachers 
$95.91.  For  such  meager  salaries  men  and  women  cannot  afford  to  put  them- 
selves into  the  long  and  expensive  training  necessary  for  the  best  equipment 
for  this  delicate  and  difficult  work  of  teaching.  The  State  may  supply  the 
best  oppoi*tunities  that  the  age  affords  for  the  training  of  the  teachers,  but,  as 
long  as  the  rank  aud  file  of  them  receive  such  meager  salaries,  these  oppor- 
tunities will  be  beyond  their  reach,  and  they  must  inevitably  divide  their  atten- 
tion between  the  service  of  two  masters  to  make  even  a.  bare  living.  As  long 
as  they  must  work  at  some  other  business  for  six  or  eight  mouths  of  the  year, 
and  at  the  business  of  school-teaching  for  only  four  or  five  months,  they  can 
scarcely  hope  to  become  professional  and  masterful  teachers.  The  teacher  who 
does  something  else  eight  months  of  the  year  for  a  living  and  teaches  school 
four  mouths  of  the  year  for  extra  money  must  continue  to  be  more  of  something 
else  than  a  teacher. 

"With  short  school  terms,  small  salaries,  poor  schoolhouses.  aud  other  con- 
ditions adverse  to  success,  we  cannot  hope  to  command  and  retain  first-class 
talent  in  this  business  of  teaching  the  rural  school,  however  good  or  however 
accessible  the  opportunities  for  improviug  teachers  may  be  made.  We  must, 
in  the  outset,  face  the  cold  business  truth  that,  as  the  South  comes  more  and 
more  rapidly  into  her  industrial  and  agricultural  heritage,  aud  the  channels 
of  profitable  employment  multiply,  the  best  men  and  women  in  the  profession 
of  teaching  cannot  be  retained  in  it,  aud  little  inducement  will  be  offered  to 
other  men  aud  women  of  ambition,  ability,  aud  promise  to  enter  it,  unless  the 
compensation  for  the  teacher's  service  is  made  somewhat  commensurate  with 


WoKK  TO  Be  Done  and  How  to  Do  It.  45 

that  offored  iu  other  fields  of  labor.  As  long  as  the  animal  salary  paid  the 
teacher  \Yho  works  upon  the  immortal  stuff  of  mhid  and  soul  is  less  than  that 
paid  the  rudest  workers  iu  wood  aud  iron,  less  than  that  paid  the  man  that 
shoes  your  horse  or  plows  your  corn  or  paints  your  house  or  keeps  your  jail, 
the  best  talent  cannot  be  secured  and  kept  iu  the  teaching  profession — ^the 
teaching  profession  must  continue  to  be  made  iu  many  instances  but  a  stepping- 
stone  to  more  profitable  employments  or  a  means  of  pensioning  ineflicient  and 
needy  mediocrity. 

"The  first  step,  then,  iu  the  direction  of  improvement  of  teachers  is  an 
increase  in  the  salary  of  teachers  so  as  to  make  it  worth  the  while  of  capable 
men  aud  women  to  enter  the  professlou  of  teaching,  to  remain  iu  it,  to  put 
themselves  in  training  for  it,  aud  to  avail  themselves  of  the  opportunity 
ofi:"ered  for  improvement.  An  increase  in  the  monthly  compensation  and  an 
increase  in  the  annual  school  term  are  the  only  two  ways  of  increasing  the 
teacher's  salary.  The  only  means  of  increasing  the  compensation  and  the 
school  term  is  by  increasing  the  available  school  funds  for  each  school.  The 
only  practical  means  of  doing  this  under  present  conditions  are  consolidation 
and  local  taxation. 

"That  the  counties  and  districts  that  pay  the  best  salaries  secure,  as  a 
rule,  the  best  teachers,  is  the  best  evidence  that  this  question  of  better  teachers 
is  largely  a  question  of  better  salaries.  With  the  growth  of  educational  senti- 
ment aud  enthusiasm  the  demand  for  better  teachers  has  grown,  but  every 
community  that  demands  a  better  teacher  ought  to  remember  that  the  demand 
is  unreasonable  and  unlikely  to  be  met  unless  the  means  for  better  pay  be  pro- 
vided by  the  community. 

"The  raising  of  the  standard  of  examination  and  gradation  of  teachers  will 
be  ineffective,  and  perhaps  unfair,  unless  it  is  accompanied  by  a  corresponding 
increase  iu  the  wages  of  teachers.  Of  what  avail  will  it  be  to  raise  the  require- 
ments without  raising  the  compensation,  when  even  now.  with  the  present  low 
standard  of  qualifications,  it  is  almost  impossible  in  many  counties  to  get 
enough  teachers  to  teach  the  schools,  aud  when  even  now  the  same  qualifica- 
tions will  command  much  better  compensation  in  almost  any  other  vocation? 
The  logical  result  of  raising  the  standard  of  examination  aud  gradation  with- 
out raising  the  prices  paid  would  be  to  decrease  the  supply  of  teachers  and 
render  it  practically  impossible  to  supply  the  schools  with  teachers.  Au 
increase  iu  the  requirements  for  teaching,  a  multiplication  of  the  opportunities 
for  the  improvement  of  teachers,  and  a  mandatory  requirement  of  teachers  to 
avail  themselves  of  these  opportunities,  must,  in  all  reason  and  fairness,  be 
accompanied  by  a  corresponding  increase  in  salary.  Better  work  deserves  and 
commands  better  pay." 

The  increase  in  teachers'  salaries  during  the  past  ten  years  has  not  been  at 
all  commensurate  with  the  increase  in  living  expenses,  and  with  the  increase  in 
salaries  and  wages  of  those  engaged  in  other  professions  and  callings.  In  con- 
sidering this  question  of  the  salary  of  the  teacher,  it  must  be  remembered  that 
the  teacher  must  live  twelve  months  in  the  year,  even  though  he  receives 
salary  for  only  four  or  five  or  six  months.  The  financial  demands  upon  the 
teachers  must  also  be  i-emembered.  They  must  live  and  dress  well  in  order  to 
command  the  respect  of  the  children  and  the  patrons.  To  maintain  their  pro- 
fessional growth  and  increase  the  effectiveness  of  their  work,  they  must  spend 
a  considerable  part  of  their  salary  for  special  courses  of  work  in  summer 


46  Work  to  Be  Done  and  How  to  Do  It. 

schools  and  institutes,  and  for  tlae  purchase  of  professional  boolvs  and  maga- 
zines. It  must  be  remembered,  also,  that  teachers  must  look  forward  to  the 
years  when  it  will  be  impossible  for  them  to  teach,  for,  as  they  grow  old,  they 
become  less  efficient  for  the  arduous  work  of  the  school.  Their  salaries,  there- 
fore, should  be  sufficient  to  lay  aside  something  for  old  age,  as  no  pensions 
are  provided  for  teachers.  Finally,  it  should  be  remembered  that  in  a  republic 
the  intelligence,  morality,  power,  effectiveness,  and  earning  capacity  of  the 
common  people  are  dependent  largely  upon  the  work  of  the  teachers  of  the 
public  schools,  and  that,  therefore,  their  work  is  of  the  most  vital  importance, 
and  should  command  a  salary  commensurate  with  its  importance.  Unless  we 
can  bring  our  people  to  a  realization  of  these  truths  and  thereby  create  a  pub- 
lic sentiment  and  a  public  demand  for  better  salaries  for  better  teachers,  the 
ranks  of  the  rural  school  teachers  will  continue  to  be  filled  with  many  im- 
trained,  incompetent,  inexperienced  persons,  using  this  holiest  of  callings  as  a 
mere  stepping-stone  to  some  other  profession  or  calling,  with  mere  tyros  with- 
out serious  purpose  teaching  for  a  short  time  simply  to  make  a  support  until 
something  better  turns  up.  There  will  continue  to  be  a  dearth  of  men,  be- 
cause they  can  command  better  salaries  for  almost  anything,  even  for  bi'eaking 
rocks  on  the  road,  than  for  teaching  rural  schools  a  few  months  in  the  year. 
There  will  continue  to  be  a  dearth  of  trained  and  experienced  women  of  power, 
because  such  women  can  now  easily  command  far  better  salaries  in  other  call- 
ings open  to  women,  and  almost  any  woman  can  command  a  larger  annual 
salary  for  measuring  calico  and  selling  buttons  than  for  training  minds,  inspir- 
ing souls  and  forming  characters  in  the  rural  schools.  The  situation  is  serious. 
The  demand  for  good  teachers,  and  especially  for  good  male  teachers,  is  greatly 
in  excess  of  the  supply,  because  the  salaries  paid  will  not  command  and  retain 
such  teachers.  Let  us  wage  a  campaign  from  mountain  to  sea,  through  press 
and  public  speech,  for  the  education  of  public  sentiment  to  an  appreciation  of 
the  teacher's  w^ork  and  to  an  insistent  demand  for  better  compensation  for 
that  work. 

County  Institutes  and  Summer  Schools. — In  accordance  with  the  recommen- 
dations in  my  previous  Biennial  Report,  the  General  Assembly  amended  the 
county  institute  law  and  provided  a  Supervisor  of  Teacher-training.  By  virtue 
of  these  amendments,  as  has  been  pointed  out  in  a  previous  part  of  this  Report, 
and  as  will  appear  from  the  report  of  the  work  of  the  teachers'  institutes  and 
teachers'  associations  elsewhere  in  this  Report,  the  county  institutes  and  the 
county  teachers'  associations  and  the  teachers'  reading  circles  have  been  made 
effective  means  for  the  Improvement  and  home  training  of  the  rank  and  file  of 
the  rural  teachers.  As  I  have  recommended  elsewhere,  I  believe  provision 
should  be  made  for  conducting  summer  schools  for  teachers  at  all  of  the  State 
educational  institutions,  thereby  further  increasing  the  means  for  placing,  at 
small  expense,  within  easy  reach  of  the  rural  teachers  still  better  opportunities 
for  professional  improvement.  With  a  good  system  of  county  institutes,  county 
teachers'  associations,  county  reading  circles,  summer  schools,  permanent 
normal  schools,  the  State  Normal  and  Industrial  College  and  departments  of 
education  at  the  University  and  several  of  our  denominational  colleges,  profes- 
sional improvement  ought  to  be  within  easy  reach  of  any  teacher;  and  there 
ought  to  be  within  a  few  years  marked  improvement  in  the  teaching  force  of  the 
State. 


Work  to  Be  Done  and  How  to  Do  It.  47 

County  Supervision. — "As  pointed  out  in  the  first  part  of  this  Report,  there 
has  been  marked  improvement  in  comity  supervision.  Tlie  average  salary 
of  the  County  Superintendent  has  been  more  than  trebled  since  1901.  The 
superintendents  in  nearly  all  the  counties  of  the  State  are  devoting  more 
time  to  the  work  than  ever  before,  but  there  is  still  much  work  to  be  done 
before  county  supervision  can  be  made  as  efficient  as  it  should  be.  The  more 
I  learn  of  the  educational  work  of  the  State  in  the  discharge  of  my  official 
duties  and  thi'ough  my  visitations  and  field  work,  the  more  clearly  I  see  that 
the  real  strategic  point  in  all  this  work  to-day  is  the  County  Superintendent. 
Upon  this  subject  I  beg  to  quote  from  my  annual  address  to  the  State  Associa- 
tion of  County  Superintendents  delivered  November  11,  1903:  'The  work  of 
the  State  Superintendent  must  be  done  and  his  plans  executed  largely  through 
the  County  Superintendent.  The  work  of  the  County  Board  of  Education 
must  be  carried  on  and  its  plans  executed  largely  through  the  County  Super- 
intendent. The  work  of  the  school  committeemen  will  not  be  done  properly 
without  the  stimulation  and  direction  of  the  Covmty  Superintendent.  No 
proper  standard  of  qualifications  for  teachers  can  be  maintained  and  en- 
forced except  by  the  County  Superintendent.  No  esprit  de  corps  among  the 
teachers  can  be  awakened  and  sustained  save  by  a  county  superintendent  in 
whom  it  dwells.  No  local  and  permanent  plans  for  the  improvement  of  public 
school  teachers  through  county  teachers'  associations,  summer  institutes  and 
schools,  township  meetings,  etc.,  can  be  set  on  foot  and  successfully  carried 
out  save  under  the  leadership  of  an  energetic  county  superintendent.  All 
campaigns  for  the  education  of  public  sentiment  on  educational  questions  and 
for  the  advancement  of  the  work  of  public  education  along  all  needful  lines 
are  doomed  to  failure  or,  at  least,  to  only  partial  and  temporary  success 
withovit  the  active  help  and  direction  of  a  county  superintendent  knowing  his 
people,  knowing  the  conditions  and  needs  of  his  county,  knowing  something  of 
the  prejudices  and  preferences  of  the  different  communities,  endowed  with 
tact,  wisdom,  common  sense,  character,  grit,  and  some  ability  to  get  along 
with  folks,  and  enjoying  the  confidence  of  teachers,  officers,  children,  and 
patrons.  Upon  the  County  Superintendent  mainly  must  depend  the  bringing 
together  of  all  those  forces  in  the  county — public  and  private,  moral  and 
religious,  business  and  professional — that  may  be  utilized  for  the  advancement 
of  the  educational  work  of  the  county  and  for  the  awakening  of  an  educa- 
tional interest  among  all  classes  of  people,  irrespective  of  poverty  or  wealth, 
religion  or  politics.  This  work  of  educating  the  children  of  all  the  people  is 
too  great  a  task  to  be  performed  by  any  part  of  the  people.  No  real  coimty 
system,  composed  of  a  large  number  of  separate  schools  unified  and  correlated 
ia  their  work,  each  pursuing  a  properly  arranged  and  wisely  planned  course 
of  study  in  the  subjects  required,  and  the  whole  system  fitting  into  its  proper 
place  in  a  great  State  system,  can  ever  be  worked  out  save  through  the  aid 
and  under  the  direction  of  a  county  superintendent  with  an  adequate  concep- 
tion of  his  work  and  with  an  ability  to  do  it.' 

"Such  a  work  requires  for  its  successful  execution  a  man  of  mind  and 
heart  and  soul,  a  gentleman,  a  man  of  common  sense,  tact,  energy,  consecrated 
purpose,  education,  special  training,  and  business  ability — a  man  who  can 
give  all  his  time  and  thought  and  energy  to  the  work.  You  cannot  command 
the  services  of  such  a  man  in  any  business  without  paying  him  a  living  sal- 
ary, for  such  men  are  in  great  demand  for  any  work.      May  we  not  hope. 


48  Work  to  Be  Done  and  How  to  Do  It. 

therefore,  that  at  no  distant  day  the  sah^ry  attached  to  so  important  an  office 
may  be  sufficient  in  every  county  to  employ  trained  and  competent  men  for 
all  their  time,  to  unfetter  the  earnest,  competent  men  already  engaged  in  the 
work  so  that  they  may  have  a  chance  to  do  their  best  work  and  show  what 
is  in  them,  and  to  justify  men  in  the  coming  years  in  placing  themselves  in 
special  training  for  this  special  work? 

"It  is  noticeable  and  significant  that  educational  progress  along  all  lines  is 
more  rapid  in  those  counties  in  which  competent  superintendents  have  been 
put  into  the  field  for  all  their  time,  and  that  in  almost  every  county  in  which 
this  has  been  done  the  school  fund  has  been  increased  by  local  taxation  and 
by  economical  management  of  the  finances,  looking  carefully  after  the  sources 
of  income,  much  more  than  the  increase  in  the  salary  of  the  superintendent. 
For  example,  in  Guilford  County,  the  Superintendent's  salary  was  increased 
$1,000  a  year,  and  during  the  first  year  of  his  administration,  largely  through 
his  efforts,  the  annual  school  fund  was  increased  by  local  taxation  alone 
$7,745.  In  Pitt  County  the  efficient  Superintendent  was  put  into  the  field  for 
his  entire  time  at  increased  salary,  and  already  the  annual  increase  in  the 
school  fund  from  local  taxation,  secured  mainly  through  his  activity,  is  much 
more  than  the  increase  in  his  salaiy,  to  say  nothing  of  the  remarkable  increase 
in  the  efficiency  of  the  entire  county  system  of  schools  resulting  from  his  more 
efficient  work.  Similar  evidence  could  be  given  about  other  counties.  You 
cannot  make  a  success  of  any  great  business  like  this  business  of  education 
without  a  man  at  its  head  devoting  all  his  time,  thought  and  energy  to  it. 
Wherever  this  is  the  case  the  educational  work  of  the  county  is  moving, 
wherever  it  is  not  the  case  the  work  is  lagging.  You  cannot  do  anything 
worth  doing  in  the  world  without  a  man.  It  is  the  highest  economy  to  put 
money  into  a  man." 

More  Money  and  How  to  Get  it. — For  all  this  work  yet  to  be  done  in  the 
way  of  building  and  improving  schoolhouses  and  grounds,  lengthening  the 
school  term,  increasing  the  salaries  of  teachers  and  county  superintendents, 
providing  high-school  instruction,  etc.,  more  money  must,  of  course,  be  pro- 
vided.    Two  ways  of  providing  this  money  may  be  suggested: 

1.  The  adoption  and  enforcement  of  some  plan  for  getting  taxable  prop- 
erty on  the  tax  books  and  assessing  it  at  its  real  value,  or  something  near  its 
real  value.  An  examination  of  the  tables  of  the  statistical  reports  in  this 
volume  showing -the  school  funds  raised  in  each  coiuity  from  the  property 
tax  of  18  cents  on  the  $100  and  of  the  list  of  counties  asking  aid  from  the 
special  State  appropriation  for  a  four-months  school  term,  and  the  amounts 
received  by  these  counties  from  this  appropriation,  will  convince  any 
reasonable  man,  I  think,  that  there  is  something  wrong  in  the  method  of 
assessing  the  value  of  property.  Fifty-four  counties  now  receive  aid  in 
amounts  varying  from  $95.25  to  $4,462.99  for  a  four-months  school  term. 
Upon  any  reasonable  and  uniform  valuation  of  property,  many  of  these 
counties  would  have  money  enough  for  a  four-months  school  term  without 
any  aid  from  the  special  State  appropriation,  and  the  others  would  need 
much  less  from  this  source.  Much  of  this  special  appropriation  could  then 
be  available  for  other  needed  purposes  in  strengthening  the  public  school  sys- 
tem. To  one  who  has  traveled  through  many  of  these  counties  and  observed 
their  prosperity  and  rapidly  increasing  wealth,  it  is  self-evident  that  there 
is  something  wrong  in  the  method  of  assessing  property,  when  comities  like 


Work  to  Be  Done  and  How  to  Do  It.  49 

Cleveland,  Cumberland,  and  a  number  of  others  that  might  be  mentioned, 
fail  to  receive  from  an  18  cents  property  tax  enough  money  for  a  four- 
months  school  term  at  the  present  low  salaries  of  teachers.  Upon  a  correct 
valuation  of  property,  of  course,  the  school  fund  derived  from  this  18  cents 
property  tax  would  be  largely  increased  in  every  county.  In  my  opinion, 
if  all  the  property  in  the  State  could  be  placed  on  the  tax  books  at  a  fair  and 
reasonable  valuation,  the  public  school  fund  would  be  sufficient  to  maintain 
the  public  schools  of  the  State  for  an  average  school  term  of  five  or  six 
months  without  any  increase  of  the  present  rate  of  taxation  for  school  pur- 
poses. 

2.  The  second  means  for  getting  more  money  for  the  schools  is  by  an 
increase  of  the  State  levy  in  the  comities  for  school  purposes  and  by  levying 
a  special  county  tax  for  schools.  As  recommended  and  explained  in  another 
part  of  this  Report,  an  increase  of  the  school  tax  from  18  cents  to  25  cents 
on  the  $100  valuation  of  property  would  largely  increase  the  school  fund  and 
greatly  improve  the  school  system.  Under  the  decision  of  the  Supreme  Court 
in  the  case  of  Collie  v.  Ccmimissioners  of  Franlclin  Couniif,  the  County  Com- 
missioners, upon  demand  of  the  County  Board  of  Education,  are  required  to 
levy  a  special  tax  on  all  property  and  polls  of  the  county  sufficient  to  provide 
at  least  a  four-months  school  term  in  every  school  district  of  the  county,  as 
directed  by  Article  IX,  section  3.  of  the  Constitution.  In  their  estimate  of 
the  additional  funds  necessary  for  this  purpose  to  be  raised  by  a  separate 
county  tax,  the  County  Board  of  Education  can,  of  cou^-se,  take  into  con- 
sideration the  needs  of  the  schools  for  their  gradual  and  conservative  im- 
I)rovement  in  equipment,  supervision,  teachers,  etc.  This  opens  the  way  for 
a  sufficient  increase  in  the  school  fund  in  the  weak  counties  to  increase 
greatlj'  the  efficiency  of  the  schools  in  those  counties. 

Local  Taxation. — "This  business  of  public  education  is  like  any  other  great 
business.  For  successfully  conducting  it,  enough  capital  must  be  invested  in 
it  to  supply  the  necessai-y  equipment  and  to  employ  the  necessary  number  of 
competent  trained  men  and  women  to  carry  on  the  business  according  to  mod- 
ern progressive  business  and  professional  principles.  I  have .  undertaken  to 
show  in  this  Report  that  for  better  houses  and  equipment,  better  teachers, 
better  supervision  and  longer  school  terms  more  money  is  the  fundamental 
need.  The  constitutional  limit  of  taxation  has  already  been  reached  in 
all  the  counties  of  the  State  but  one.  Without  an  amendment  to  the  Con- 
stitution, therefore,  or  special  legislation  for  each  county,  the  general  school 
fund  cannot  be  increased  except  for  a  four-months  term.  A  special  annual 
State  appropriation  of  $225,000  has  already  been  made  to  the  public  schools 
by  the  General  Assembly.  Under  present  conditions  the  State  can  hardly 
be  expected  to  increase  the  school  fund  for  a  four-months  term  further  by 
special  appropriation.  It  must  be  very  evident,  therefore,  to  every  thought- 
ful man  that  in  addition  to  the  methods  suggested  above  the  only  other  two 
means  of  supplying  this  fundamental  need  of  more  money  for  the  public 
schools  are  consolidation  and  local  taxation.  As  heretofore  shown  in  this 
Report,  by  reasonable  consolidation  the  present  available  funds  can  be  greatly 
economized  by  reducing  the  number  of  schools  and  the  number  of  teachers 
necessary  to  teach  a  given  number  of  children.  In  this  way  more  money  from 
the  present  funds  will  be  available  for  each  school  for  more  teachers,  better 

Part  I — i

salaries,  better  houses  and  equipment,  and  a  longer  term.  After  making  the 
present  available  funds  go  as  far  as  possible  through  the  economy  of  reason- 
able consolidation,  the  only  other  means  of  increasing  the  school  fund  of  any 
local  school  is  local  taxation. 

"Under  section  4115  of  the  School  Law,  upon  a  petition  of  one-fourth  of  the 
freeholders  residing  therein,  a  special-tax  district  may  be  laid  off  within  any 
definitely  fixed  boundaries,  and  upon  approval  of  the  County  Board  of  Educa- 
tion an  election  upon  a  local  tax  for  the  schools  within  that  district,  not  to 
exceed  30  cents  on  the  $100  and  90  cents  on  the  poll,  must  be  ordered 
by  the  County  Board  of  Commissioners.  This  places  an  election  upon 
local  taxation  for  public  schools  within  easy  reach  of  any  comity,  town- 
ship, or  school  district  in  North  Carolina.  I  have  already  reported  the 
progress  in  local  taxation  during  the  past  two  years.  While  it  is  encouraging, 
still,  when  it  is  remembered  that  only  about  995  districts  out  of  a  total  of 
about  5,37.3  white  districts  in  the  State  have  yet  adopted  local  taxation,  it 
will  be  readily  seen  that  the  work  of  local  taxation  is  scarcely  more  than  well 
begun. 

"Sixty-nine  per  cent  of  all  the  money  raised  for  public  schools  in  the  United 
States  is  raised  by  local  taxation.  Nearly  one-fifth  of  all  the  funds  expended 
for  the  maintenance  of  the  public  schools  in  North  Carolina  is  now  raised  by 
local  taxation.  In  all  the  States  having  systems  of  public  schools  well 
equipped  and  adequate  to  the  education  of  all  their  people,  a  large  per  cent 
of  the  public  school  fund  is  raised  by  local  taxation.  In  some  of  these  States 
as  much  as  95  per  cent  is  raised  by  local  taxation.  In  North  Carolina  the 
only  towns,  cities,  and  rural  communities  that  have  succeeded  in  providing 
a  system  of  schools  open  eight  or  ten  months  in  the  year,  adequately  equipped 
with  houses  and  teachers,  have  been  compelled  to  supplement  their  State  and 
county  school  funds  by  local  taxation.  The  experience  of  other  States  and  of 
these  communities  in  our  own  State  compels  the  conclusion  that  the  only  hope 
of  largely  increasing  the  present  available  funds  for  the  rural  schools,  and  thus 
making  these  schools  equal  to  the  demands  of  the  age  and  adequate  to  the 
education  of  82  per  cent  of  our  population,  is  to  be  found  in  the  adoption  of 
local  taxation. 

"The  principle  of  local  taxation  is  right  and  wise.  It  involves  the  princi- 
ples of  self-help,  self-interest,  self-i)rotection,  community  help,  community  inter- 
est, and  community  protection.  Every  cent  of  the  money  paid  by  local  taxation 
for  schools  by  any  community  remains  in  the  community  for  the  improvement 
of  the  community  school,  and  every  cent  of  it  is  invested  through  a  better 
school  in  the  minds  and  souls  and  characters  of  the  rising  generation,  in  an 
increase  in  the  intelligence  and  efficiency  of  the  entire  community.  Every  cent 
of  this  local  tax  that  goes  into  a  better  school  to  give  the  children  of  all  a 
better  chance  to  be  somebody  and  to  do  something  in  the  world  is  invested  in 
the  best  possible  advertisement  for  the  best  class  of  immigration  and  is  the 
surest  possible  means  of  keeping  in  the  community  the  best  people  already 
residing  there  by  giving  them  a  better  opportunity  to  give  their  children  a 
better  chance  to  get  an  education  that  will  better  fit  them  for  coping  witli  the 
world  without  having  to  move  into  another  community  to  get  it.  Every  cent  of 
money,  therefore,  invested  by  local  taxation  in  a  better  school,  by  inviting  a 
better  class  of  immigration  and  preventing  the  disastrous  drain  uiwn  its  best 
blood  by  other  communities  that  offer  better  school  facilities,  enhances  the 


WoKK  TO  Be  Done  aimd  How  to  Do  It.  51 

value  of  every  cent  of  property  iii  the  community  by  increasiuy  the  demand 
for  it  by  the  best  people.  The  wisdom,  then,  of  such  a  tax  for  such  a  purpose 
is  too  manifest  to  need  further  argument." 

School  houses. — There  are  still  204  white  and  121  colored  school  districts 
in  North  Carolina  to  be  supplied  with  houses.  There  are  94  white  and  160 
colored  log  houses,  and  many  old  frame  houses  unfit  for  use,  to  be  replaced. 
There  are  hundreds  of  old  houses  to  be  repaired,  enlarged,  equipped,  and  beau- 
tified. The  equipment  of  most  of  the  old  houses  is  poor  and  entirely  inade- 
(juate.  Some  idea  of  the  inadequacy  of  this  equipment  may  be  obtained  when 
it  is  remembered  that  in  1910  only  $45,834.91  was  spent  for  furniture  and 
equipment  for  rural  schoolhouses.  A  comfortable,  well-equipped  schoolhouse 
is  the  first  essential  of  a  successful  school.  Such  a  house  insures  permanency 
and  inspires  in  children  and  patrons  pride  and  confidence. 

In  every  county  there  should  be  a  strict  enforcement  of  the  law  placing  the 
building  of  schoolhouses  under  the  control  of  the  County  Board  of  Education, 
and  requiring  all  new  houses  to  be  constructed  in  accordance  with  plans 
approved  by  the  State  Superintendent  of  Public  Instruction  and  that  board. 
A  revised  and  enlarged  pamphlet  of  approved  plans  for  schoolhouses  has  been 
recently  issued  from  the  oflice  of  the  State  Superintendent  of  Tublic  Instruc- 
tion, and  copies  of  it  can  be  secured  upon  application.  The  pamphlet  contains 
bills  of  materials,  specifications,  cuts,  floor  plans,  blank  contracts,  etc.,  for  the 
erection  of  any  house  in  it. 

The  law  requiring  the  contract  for  buildings  to  be  in  writing  and  the  house 
to  be  inspected,  received,  and  approved  by  the  County  Superintendent  before 
full  payment  is  made  should  always  be  rigidly  enforced.  No  more  money  _ 
should  be  allowed  to  be  wasted  on  cheap,  temporary,  improperly  constructed 
houses.  Properly  enforced,  the  law  is  now  ample  to  insure  the  construction 
(if  permanent,  comfortable  schoolhouses  and  to  prevent  the  impositions  of 
inefficient  contractors  and  builders. 

School  Districts  and  Consolidation. — In  my  preceding  biennial  reports  this 
subject  has  been  so  fully  discussed  that  I  deem  it  unnecessary  to  enter  into 
any  full  discussion  of  it  again.  Much  good  work  has  been  done  in  reason- 
able consolidation  and  enlargement  of  districts.  With  much  benefit  to  their 
school  interests,  some  counties  have  been  entirely  redistricted.  Hundreds  of 
unnecessary  little  districts  have  been  abolished,  but  in  many  counties  there 
are  still  too  many  of  these  little  districts.  There  are  still  5,373  white  school 
districts  and  2,-306  colored  school  districts.  The  average  area  of  the  white 
school  district  in  the  State  is  9.0  square  miles.  The  white  school  districts 
might  be  decreased  to  half  the  present  number,  where  streams,  swamps,  etc., 
do  not  prevent,  and  the  average  size  might  be  increased  to  double  the  present 
area,  and  still,  as  a  little  calculation  will  show,  in  a  district  of  fairly  regular 
size  with  a  schoolhouse  near  the  center,  the  farthest  child  would  be  within 
three  miles  of  the  house,  and  a  large  majority  of  the  children  would,  of  course, 
be  much  nearer.  The  decrease  in  the  number  of  school  districts  means,  of 
course,  an  increase  in  the  money  for  each  district,  an  increase  in  the  number 
of  children  in  each  school,  an  increase  in  the  number  of  schools  with  more  than 
one  teacher,  affording  instruction  in  more  advanced  branches  of  study,  a  better 
classification  of  the  children,  a  reduction  in  the  number  of  classes  necessary 
for  each  teacher,  an  increase  in  the  time  that  each  teacher  can  give  to  each 
class,  a  concentration  of  the  energies  of  the  teacher  upon  fewer  subjects,  a

stimulation  of  ttie  cliildreu  to  greater  effort  by  the  greater  competition  and 
greater  mental  friction  of  larger  numbers. 

This  work  of  enlarging  the  school  districts  by  the  consolidation  of  unnec- 
essary small  districts  or  by  redistricting  townships  and  counties  must,  of 
course,  be  carried  on  with  wisdom,  discretion,  and -justice.  Every  child  has  a 
right  to  be  within  reasonable  walking  distance  of  some  school  until  conditions 
and  funds  justify  provision  for  transportation ;  but  any  healthy  child  can 
better  afford  to  walk  two  or  three  miles  to  get  to  a  good  school  than  to  attend 
a  poor  one  at  his  gate.  It  is  wiser  and  more  economical  to  have  one  school 
taught  in  one  good  house  with  two  or  three  good  teachers  than  to  have  two  or 
three  little  schools  in  poor  little  one-room  houses,  taught  by  one  teacher  with  a 
handful  of  children,  with  almost  as  many  classes  as  children.  For  a  fuller 
and  more  detailed  discussion,  however,  of  this  subject  and  of  the  extravagance 
and  vmwisdom  of  a  multiplicity  of  unnecessary  little  districts,  I  beg  to  x-efer 
you  to  my  preceding  biennial  reports. 

Transportation  of  Pupils. — It  is  hoped  that  in  the  near  future  improvement 
in  roads  and  rural  conditions  will  warrant  consolidation  of  schools  on  a  larger 
scale,  and  the  adoption  of  transportation  of  children  by  wagons  and  teams  to 
central  schools,  which  is  now  in  successful  operation  in  many  Western  States. 
Transportation  is  also  in  successful  operation  in  a  nmnber  of  districts  in 
Virginia  and  Louisiana. 

The  State  Superintendent  recently  visited,  for  observation  and  study,  a 
number  of  centralized  rural  schools  in  Indiana  and  Ohio,  where  transportation 
of  pupils  is  in  most  successful  operation.  All  of  the  schools  in  some  townships 
had  been  consolidated  into  one  central  school ;  in  others  were  found  but  two  or 
three  schools  in  the  entire  township.  These  schools  covered  areas  of  from  20 
to  50  square  miles.  Children  were  transported  to  them  from  distances  of  from 
1  to  7  miles.  The  schools  were  conducted  in  houses  costing  from  $8,000  to 
$30,000,  with  heating  plants  and  modern  conveniences,  such  as  you  would  find 
in  our  large  towns. 

The  schools  had  from  four  to  ten  teachers,  affording  to  the  country  children, 
in  houses,  equipment,  supervision,  teachers,  libraries,  gradation,  classification, 
high-school  instruction,  all  the  educational  advantages  of  our  best  town  schools, 
with  the  added  advantage  in  all  instances  of  rural  environment,  and  in  some 
instances  of  practical  instruction  in  agriculture,  sewing,  cooking,  and  other 
subjects  pertaining  to  country  life  and  home-making.  Among  other  advantages 
observed  in  these  centralized  rural  schools,  were  a  most  commendable  pride  and 
school  spirit  on  the  part  of  teachers,  children,  school  officers,  and  patrons, 
excellent  attendance,  protection  of  the  health  of  the  children  by  prevention  of 
exposure  to  bad  weather,  etc.,  economy  of  time  in  reaching  school  and  home. 
In  some  of  these  schools  the  daily  attendance  for  the  month  was  found  to  be 
98  per  cent  of  the  school  population ;  the  lowest  attendance  reported  was  89 
per  cent  of  the  school  population. 

The  transportation  is  at  the  expense  of  the  township  in  neat,  comfortable, 
covered  two-horse  wagons,  each  wagon  carrying  about  twenty  children.  The 
wagons  run  on  schedule  time  and  tardiness  is  practically  eliminated,  as  is  also 
irregularity  of  attendance  on  account  of  bad  weather.  The  drivers  of  the 
wagons  are  usually  farmers  of  the  community  of  character  and  reliability,  who 
are  held  responsible  for  the  safety  and  good  conduct  of  the  children  to  and 
from  school.     The  wagons  are  owned  in  most  instances  by  the  township,  and 


Work  to  Be  Done  and  How  to  Do  It.  53 

the  horses  arc  owned  and  furnished  by  the  drivers.  The  wagons  are  operated 
at  a  monthly  cost  of  from  $40  to  $G0.  Some  of  the  schools  operate  as  many 
as  ten  wagons,  the  nxmaber  varying  from  three  to  ten.  Space  forbids  that  I 
give  fuller  details  of  my  study  of  these  schools  at  this  time. 

The  results  of  my  visit  and  observations  convinced  me  that  in  consolidation, 
with  transportation  of  pupils,  is  to  be  found  the  only  solution  of  the  problem 
of  placing  adequate  educational  facilities  within  reach  of  country  boys  and 
girls  in  sparsely  populated  farming  districts.  I  believe  that  the  conditions  in 
some  of  our  counties  in  North  Carolina  are  such  as  to  warrant  at  once  begin- 
ning in  some  townships  consolidation  by  transportation,  and  I  have  recom- 
mended elsewhere  in  this  Report  that  the  public  school  law  be  so  amended 
as  to  authorize  county  boards  of  education  to  inaugurate  transportation  of 
pupils  where  the  conditions  and  the  funds  justify  it. 

Better  Classification  and  More  Thorough  Instruction. — Through  the  use  of 
a  graded  course  of  study  sent  out  in  pamphlet  form  from  my  office  and  the 
new  registers  and  new  blanks  for  teachers'  reports,  some  good  work  has  been 
done  in  classifying  and  grading  the  rural  public  schools.  Much  more  remains 
still  to  be  done.  Upon  this  subject  I  beg  to  quote  from  my  previous  Biennial 
Report : 

"A  recent  inquiry  concerning  the  course  of  study  and  the  classification  of 
pupils  in  the  public  schools  of  the  State  reveals  a  great  lack  of  uniformity 
and,  in  some  coimties  of  the  State,  a  somewhat  chaotic  condition.  1  sent  to 
all  county  superintendents  blanks  for  reports  of  the  daily  programs  and  of 
the  progress  made  by  the  various  classes.  These  blanks  were  sent  to  the 
public  school  teachers,  and  the  superintendents  were  requested  to  send  the 
best  ten  to  my  office.  A  careful  examination  of  these  and  a  compilation  of 
their  contents  showed  that  the  average  number  of  recitations  in  the  school 
with  one  teacher  undertaking  to  give  instruction  in  all  subjects  required  by 
law  to  be  taught  in  the  public  schools  varied  from  35  to  55. 

"In  order  to  give  instruction  in  all  the  subjects  the  teaching  of  which  is 
made  mandatory  under  the  law,  at  least  21  recitations  a  day  will  be  required. 
The  legal  length  of  a  school  day  is  six  hours,  hence  an  average  of  only  twelve 
minutes  could  be  allotted  to  a  recitation  in  any  school  with  only  one  teacher. 
The  folly  of  even  expecting  thorough  and  successful  instruction  in  so  many  sub- 
jects in  so  many  classes  by  one  teacher  is  apparent  without  argument.  The 
need  for  a  better  classification  so  as  to  reduce  the  classes  to  the  smallest  pos- 
sible nmnber,  thereby  giving  the  longest  possible  time  to  each  class,  is  also 
apparent.  Owing  to  the  different  ages  of  the  children,,  ranging  from  six  to 
twenty-one  years,  and  the  different  degrees  of  advancement,  about  as  many 
classes  will  be  necessary  in  a  school  with  one  teacher  as  in  a  school  with  two 
or  more  teachers,  the  chief  difference  being,  of  course,  in  the  number  of  chil- 
dren in  a  class.  Unless  some  means,  therefore,  can  be  found  for  increasing 
the  number  of  schools  with  two  or  more  teachers  and  decreasing  the  number 
of  schools  with  only  one  teacher  I  see  but  little  hope  of  successful  instruction 
in  any  of  the  high-school  branches  or  of  improving  materially  the  instruc- 
tion even  in  the  elementary  branches  known  as  the  common  school  branches. 
It  is  apparent  that  in  a  well-classified  school  with  two  or  three  teachers,  with 
few  if  any  more  classes  than  a  school  with  one  teacher,  each  teacher  will 
have  two  or  three  times  as  much  time  for  each  class,  and  will  be  able  to  con- 
centrate his  thought  and  energies  upon  fewer  classes  and  subjects  and,  conse- 


54  Work  to  Be  Done  and  How  to  Do  It. 

quently,  to  do  more  thorough  teaching  in  those  subjects,  and  that  at  least  one 
of  the  teachers  would  have  time  for  instruction  of  the  older  children  in  the 
higher  branches.  I  have  been  so  firmly  convinced  of  the  impossibility  of 
thorough  instiniction  by  one  teacher  in  more  than  the  elementary  branches, 
that  I  have  advised  in  the  preface  to  the  Course  of  Study  that  only  in  excep- 
tional cases  should  instruction  in  any  higher  branches  ever  be  undertaken  in 
any  school  with  only  one  teacher.  (The  law  now  limits  instruction  in  one- 
teacher  schools  to  the  elementary  branches.) 

"The  only  means  of  reducing  the  number  of  schools  with  only  one  teacher 
and  getting  more  schools  with  two  or  more  teachers  and  the  better  classifica- 
tion, more  thorough  instruction  and  more  advanced  work  so  necessary  for  the 
growth  and  development  of  our  public  school  system  are  to  be  found  in 
reasonable  consolidation  and  local  taxation.  By  means  of  consolidation  more 
teachers  and  more  children  can  be  brought  together  into  one  school,  and  by 
means  of  local  taxation  more  money  will  be  available  for  the  employment  of 
more  teachers  at  better  salaries  and  for  the  lengthening  of  the  school  term. 
In  the  meantime,  through  the  adoption  of  the  graded  course  of  study  hereto- 
fore referred  to,  and  its  enforcement  iu  all  the  public  schools,  the  work  of  the 
public  schools  can  be  greatly  improved  in  unifoi'mity,  definiteness,  thorough- 
ness, and  classification."  There  has,  of  course,  been  marked  improvement  in 
classifying  and  grading  the  rural  public  schools  since  1904,  but  there  is  still 
great  need  for  reducing  the  number  of  classes  and  the  number  of  subjects 
in  the  one-teacher  school,  in  order  to  secure  more  thoroughness  in  the  few 
essentials,  and  also  great  need  for  increasing  the  number  of  two-teacher 
schools. 

The  Education  of  the  Negro. — As  the  conditions  have  not  changed  since  my 
last  report,  and  as  I  have  seen  no  reason  to  change  my  views  upon  the  subject 
of  the  education  of  the  negro,  I  shall  repeat  here  the  views  expressed  in  my 
preceding  Biennial  Report,  changing  only  the  figures  used  in  that  report  so  as 
to  conform  to  the  correct  figin-es  for  this  biennial  period. 

"It  would  be  easier  and  more  pleasant  for  me  to  close  this  report  without 
undertaking  to  discuss  this  most  pei-plexing  problem  of  the  education  of  the 
negro,  about  which  there  are  so  many  conflicting  and  widely  divergent  views 
among  my  people.  This  is  a  part,  however,  of  the  educational  problem  of  the 
State  and,  in  some  respects,  the  most  diflicult  part.  It  is,  therefore,  my  duty  to 
study  it  and  to  give  to  you  and  through  you  to  the  General  Assembly  and  to 
the  people  my  honest  views  about  it.  He  is  a  coward  that  basely  runs  away 
from  a  manifest  duty. 

"In  considering  this  question  of  negro  education  it  is  necessary  to  lay  aside, 
so  far  as  iwssible,  prejudice  on  the  one  hand  and  maudlin  sentimentality  on 
the  other.  There  has  been  too  much  of  both.  For  an  expression  of  my  gen- 
eral views  upon  this  question  I  beg  to  refer  you  to  my  Report  for  1900-1902, 
pages  6  to  12.  I  have  seen  no  reason  to  change  or  materially  to  modify  these 
general  views. 

"In  justice  to  the  negro  and  for  the  information  of  some  of  our  people  who 
have  been  misled  into  thinking  that  too  large  a  part  of  the  taxes  that  the 
white  people  pay  is  spent  for  the  education  of  the  negro,  it  may  be  well  in  the 
outset  to  give  a  brief  statement  of  the  facts  in  regard  to  the  apportionment  of 
the  school  fund.  As  is  well  known,  under  section  4116  of  the  School  Law,  the 
apportionment  of  the  school  fund  in  each  county  is  practically  placed  abso- 


Work  to  Be  Done  and  How  to  Do  It.  55 

lutely  under  the  control  of  the  County  Board  of  Education,  the  only  restr'ic- 
tion  laid  upon  the  board  therein  being  that  the  funds  shall  be  apportioned 
among  the  schools  of  each  township  in  such  a  way  as  to  give  equal  lengtli  of 
term  as  nearly  as  possible,  having  due  regard  to  the  grade  of  work  to  bo  done, 
the  qualifications  of  the  teachers,  etc.  The  Constitution  directs  that  in  the 
distribution  of  the  fund  no  discrimination  shall  be  made  in  favor  of  either 
race.  This  report  shows  that  in  1910  the  negroes  of  city  and  rural  districts 
received  for  teachers'  salaries  and  building  schoolhouses  $373,3!^0.55  for 
238,091  children  of  school  age.  The  whites  received  for  the  same  purpose  for 
497,077  children  of  school  age  $1,924,704.40.  The  negroes,  therefore,  constitute 
about  32  per  cent  of  the  school  population  and  receive  in  the  apportionment 
for  the  same  purposes  less  than  17  per  cent  of  the  school  money.  This  report 
shows  that  the  negroes  paid  for  schools  in  taxes  on  their  own  property  and 
polls  about  $163,417.89,  or  nearly  one-half  of  all  that  they  received  for  school 
piu'poses.  Add  to  this  their  just  share  of  fines,  forfeitures  and  penalties, 
and  their  share  of  the  large  school  tax  paid  by  corporations  to  which  they 
are  entitled  under  the  Constitution  by  every  dictate  of  reason  and  justice, 
and  it  will  be  apparent  that  the  part  of  the  taxes  actually  paid  by  individual 
white  men  for  the  education  of  the  negro  is  so  small  that  the  man  that  would 
begrudge  it  or  complain  about  it  ought  to  be  ashamed  of  himself.  In  the 
face  of  these  facts,  any  unprejudiced  man  must  see  that  we  are  in  no  danger 
of  giving  the  negroes  more  than  they  are  entitled  to  by  every  dictate  of 
justice,  right,  wisdom,  humanity,  and  Christianity. 

"Their  teachers  are  not  so  well  qualified  and  have  not  spent  so  much  money 
on  their  education,  their  expenses  of  living  are  much  less  and,  therefore, 
they  do  not  need  and  ought  not  to  have  as  much  per  capita  for  the  education 
of  their  children ;  but  there  is  more  real  danger  of  doing  the  negro  an  injus- 
tice in  the  apportionment  of  the  school  fund,  even  after  considering  all  these 
things,  by  withholding  his  equitable  part,  than  of  doing  the  white  race  any 
injustice  by  giving  him  too  much. 

"When  we  are  apportioning  only  $373,390.-55  for  the  education  of  238.091 
negro  children — and  some  of  us  are  complaining  about  that — we  need  not  be 
entertaining  many  hopes  of  giving  the  negro  much  helpful  industrial  education 
yet,  for  everybody  ought  to  know  that  this  amount  is  not  sufficient  to  give  this 
number  of  children  thorough  instruction  in  the  mere  rudiments  of  reading, 
writing,  and  arithmetic,  so  essential  to  civilized  living  and  intelligent,  efficient 
service  in  the  humblest  calling  of  life.  As  long  as  we  are  appropriating  only 
this  much  money  for  this  number  of  children,  nobody  need  have  any  real 
concern  about  turning  the  negro's  head  by  the  study  of  Latin  and  Greek  and 
other  higher  branches  of  learning.  The  fact  is  that  at  present  we  are  not 
giving  or  seeking  to  give  the  negro  in  the  public  schools  more  than  instruction 
in  the  mere  rudiments  of  learning,  nor  is  it  possible  with  our  present  avail- 
able funds  to  give  him  more  than  this.  No  one  believes  more  thoroughly 
than  I  in  industrial  and  agi'icultural  education  for  the  negro ;  but,  as  pointed 
out  above,  however  desirable  it  may  be,  such  education  for  the  majority  of 
negroes  is  hardly  to  be  considered  imless  we  put  more  money  into  their 
schools. 

"The  negro  is  here  among  us  through  no  fault  of  his  own,  and  is  likely  to 
remain  here.  There  are  but  two  roads  open  to  him.  One  is  elevation  through 
the  right  sort  of  education ;  the  other  is  deterioration  and  degradation  through 


56  WoKK  TO  Be  Done  and  How  to  Do  It. 

ignorance  and  miseducation,  inevitably  leading  to  expulsion  or  extermination. 
We  must  help  him  into  the  first  if  we  can.  If  we  do  not  our  race  will  pay 
the  heaviest  penalty  for  the  failure. 

"My  experience  and  observation  in  this  work  and  my  larger  acquaintance 
with  the  people  of  the  State  and  their  feelings  have  deepened  my  conviction 
that  the  only  hope  in  education  beyond  the  point  of  mastery  of  the  rudiments 
of  learning  for  the  negro  race  is  to  be  found  in  agricultural  and  industrial 
training — largely  in  agricultural  training.  Unless  we  can  give  him  such  train- 
ing in  the  schools  as  will  help  to  make  him  a  more  industrious  and  efficient 
workman  and  to  save  him  from  vice  and  idleness,  the  negro  race  is  doomed ; 
and  vmless  we  can  demonstrate  this  objectively  to  the  white  people  of  the 
South  through  living  epistles  of  the  lives  and  characters  of  the  negroes  so 
educated,  they  will  find  a  way,  justly  or  unjustly,  to  withdraw  all  their  aid 
to  his  education.  The  opponents  of  negro  education  contend  that  the  sort  of 
education  the  negro  has  been  receiving  in  the  public  schools  has  put  false 
notions  into  his  head,  has  turned  him  away  from  work  and  encouraged  him  to 
make  a  living  by  his  wits  without  work.  They  point  to  the  superiority  of  the 
old-issue  negro  over  the  new-issue  negi'o  in  character,  industry,  reliability  and 
in  nearly  all  the  virtues  that  make  up  good  citizenship.  The  contrast  between 
the  negro  of  the  old  school  and  the  modern  negro  is  too  often  to  the  detriment 
of  the  modern  negro. 

"These  opponents  of  negro  education,  with  the  lack  of  logic  characteristic 
of  the  man  who  draws  general  conclusions  from  a  few  particulars  and  sees 
only  what  is  superficially  discernible  without  looking  for  deeper  and  more  far- 
reaching  causes,  ascribe  the  cause  of  this  difference  to  the  little  education  that 
the  negro  has  received.  The  modern  negro  has  had  some  sort  of  education 
and  the  old-issue  negro  had  none ;  therefore,  they  argue,  education  is  the  cause 
of  the  inferiority  of  the  modern  negro.  They  forget  that  the  best  of  the  old 
negroes  were  trained  in  the  best  industrial  schools,  on  farms  and  in  shops 
for  the  work  that  they  were  to  do  in  life,  under  the  direction  of  intelligent 
masters ;  that  in  many  instances  the  intimacy  of  relation  between  them  and 
the  families  of  humane  masters  afforded  them  an  environment,  association 
and  example  tha"t  proved  most  potent  in  shaping  and  strengthening  their 
characters ;  and  that  the  whole  social  system  of  the  old  regime  was  conducive 
to  training  the  negro  in  obedience,  self-restraint  and  industry.  Though 
these  old  negroes  were  ignorant  of  books,  they  were,  from  earliest  infancy, 
trained  and  educated  in  many  of  the  essentials  of  good  citizenship  and 
efficient  service.  The  present  generation  of  negroes  has  been  given  a  mere 
smattering  of  the  essentials  of  knowledge  and  left  untrained  in  those  other 
things  so  essential  to  life  and  happiness  and  progress.  The  new  generation, 
without  preparation,  were  ushered  into  freedom  and  have  been  left  to  follow 
largely  their  own  will  without  direction  or  restraint,  sate  that  of  the  criminal 
law,  without  elevating  associations,  without  leaders  or  teachers,  save  a  few 
rare  exceptions. 

Under  the  old  regime  their  masters  were  educated,  and  many  of  their 
masters,  as  the  negroes  saw  it  superficially,  lived  without  work,  while  they 
were  compelled  to  work.  Is  it  any  wonder,  therefore,  that  the  negro  should 
have  had  a  false  idea  of  education,  and  followed  it  to  his  ruin  in  too  many 
cases?  Is  it  any  wonder  that  work  was  associated  in  his  mind  with  slavery, 
and,  therefore,  disgraceful;  that  idleness  was  associated  with  education  and 


Work  to  Be  Doink  and  How  to  Do  It.  57 

wealth  as  embodied  iu  his  former  master,  and,  therefore,  honorable?  A  race 
not  trained  to  think  would  not  find  it  hard  to  draw  from  these  superficial  facts 
the  conclusion  that  the  great  blessing  of  education  was  freedom  from  work, 
that  idleness  was  honorable,  that  work  was  dishonorable.  The  few  among 
the  negroes,  therefore,  who  succeeded  in  acquiring  a  little  knowledge  first 
became  at  once  a  sort  of  aristocracy,  ^and  the  temptation  to  these  few  to 
make  their  living  by  their  wits  out  of  the  ignorant  many  of  their  race  was 
too  great  for  a  race  in  its  childhood  to  resist.  Is  it  any  wonder,  then,  that 
we  had  after  the  days  of  reconstruction  a  multitude  of  pretentious,  half-taught, 
bigoted  preachers  and  school-teachers  constituting  themselves  leaders  of 
their  race  and  filling  the  negroes  by  example  and  precept  with  all  sorts  of 
false  notions  about  education,  character,  life  work,  and  citizenship?  Their 
conception  of  their  own  importance  was  greatly  magnified  by  the  court  paid 
to  them  as  self-constituted  leaders  of  their  race,  by  political  demagogues  de- 
siring to  ride  into  positions  of  prominence  and  profit  upon  negro  votes.  By 
the  Constitutional  Amendment  we  are  happily  rid  of  this  danger.  The 
negx'o's  ideals  were  not  much  elevated  by  the  example  and  teachings  of  our 
Northern  neighbors  who  came  among  us  as  educational  missionaries  to  him, 
but  who  were  ignorant  of  the  real  social  and  industrial  conditions  of  the 
South,  and  who  were  often  prompted  by  honest  but  blind  prejudice,  and 
oftener,  perhaps,  by  honest  but  tragic  fanaticism.  After  the  lapse  of  thirty 
years  we  are  reaping  the  harvest  of  such  sowing.  Is  it  not  time  for  us  to 
have  learned  the  lesson  that  it  teaches?  We  must  take  charge  of  negro  edu- 
cation and  direct  it  along  saner  lines.  We  must  no  longer  leave  the  blind  to 
lead  the  blind. 

"We  cannot  answer  effectively  this  prejudice  against  negro  education,  aris- 
ing from  the  results  produced  by  causes  largely  attributable,  perhaps,  to 
revolutionized  social,  political  and  industrial  conditions  wrought  by  the  tor- 
nado of  civil  war,  save  with  a  practical  demonstration  of  the  better  results 
of  a  better  education.  All  the  evils  of  a  reconstruction  of  society,-  life  and 
government  upon  a  weak  race  unprepared  for  such  changes,  ushered  into  the 
new  order  of  things  with  but  few  intelligent,  wise,  right-thinking  leaders, 
without  power  of  proper  self-restraint  or  self-direction,  have  been  laid  by  the 
demagogues,  by  the  unthinking,  and  by  some  other  men  and  women  as  honest 
and  patriotic  as  any  that  breathe,  at  the  door  of  partial  education  as  the 
quickest,  easiest  and  most  plausible  Solution  of  the  unsatisfactory  results. 
Too  few  stop  to  think  what  might  have  been  the  result  if  the  new  generation 
of  negroes  had  been  allowed  to  grow  up  in  absolute  ignorance  under  these 
changed  conditions,  with  the  rights  and  freedom  of  citizens  of  a  republic 
without  the  restraint  of  the  training  and  the  association  of  educated  masters, 
as  under  the  old  system.  Too  few  stop  to  think  that  whatever  of  deteriora- 
tion there  may  have  been  in  the  new  generation  of  negroes  as  compared  with 
the  old  may  be  more  attributable  to  a  change  in  civilization  and  in  the  whole 
order  of  things  than  to  the  little  learning  that  he  has  received.  Too  few  stop 
to  think  of  the  danger  and  the  unfairness  of  the  sort  of  reasoning  that  com- 
pares the  best  of  the  old  generation  of  negroes  with  the  worst  of  the  new, 
that  compares  the  partly  educated  negro  of  the  present  generation  with  the 
illiterate  negi-o  of  the  old  generation,  who,  though  ignorant  of  books,  had 
much  knowledge  of  many  useful  industries  and  trades  and  better  opportuni- 
ties of  acquiring  such  knowledge,  instead  of  comparing  the  literate  negro  of 


58  Work  to  Be  Done  and  How  to  Do  It. 

the  new  generation  with  the  illiterate  negro  of  the  new  generation,  that 
ascribes  all  the  faults  found  in  the  new  generation  to  the  smattering  of  learn- 
ing that  they  have  received  and  all  the  virtues  found  in  the  old  generation  to 
their  illiteracy.  One  is  partly  educated,  the  other  was  illiterate;  therefore 
education  is  the  cause  of  the  faults  of  the  one  and  illiteracy  of  the  virtues  of 
the  other.  The  absui-dity  of  such  logic  ought  to  be  manifest  to  the  average 
man.  Here  are  two  men,  one  educated,  the  other  ignorant.  One  becomes  a 
murderer,  for  there  have  been  educated  murderers  in  all  times;  the  other 
becomes  a  good  citizen,  for  there  have  been  ignorant  good  citizens  in  all  times ; 
therefore  education  makes  murderers  and  ignorance  makes  good  citizens. 

"In  the  consideration  of  a  great  question  like  this  mqn  should  look  deeper 
than  the  mere  surface  facts  and  see  the  danger  of  drawing  imiversal  con- 
clusions from  single  facts  and  undertaking  to  settle  the  educational  destiny 
of  a  whole  race  for  all  time  by  the  experience  of  a  mere  quarter  of  a  century 
under  most  unfavorable  conditions.  The  old  order  has  passed,  never  to 
return.  We  must  face  the  future  under  the  new  order.  Would  it  not  be 
wise  to  ask  and  to  seek  to  answer  without  prejudice  or  partiality  these  and 
similar  questions :  Are  not  the  changes  in  the  negro  mostly  attributable  to  the 
changes  in  the  oi-der  of  things?  According  to  the  testimony  of  all  the  ages, 
has  ignorance  ever  been  found  a  remedy  for  anything?  According  to  the 
testimony  of  all  the  ages,  may  not  education  of  the  right  sort,  properly  directed 
by  those  who  have  right  ideals  and  know  how  to  direct  it,  prove  a  remedy 
for  many  of  these  undesirable  changes  in  the  negro  incident  largely  to  this 
unavoidable  and  radical  change  in  his  life,  environment  and  .relations  to  those 
about  him?  Might  not  his  condition  and  character  have  been  infinitely  worse 
and  more  brutal  under  the  changed  order  of  things  without  the  little  training 
that  he  has  received  from  conscientious  teachers  here  and  there,  even  in  the 
poor  schools  that  have  been  opened  to  him,  and  without  the  little  glimpses  of  a 
better  life  and  the  aspirations  for  it  and  the  acquisition  of  a  little  power  to 
reach  out  after  it  that  he  has  obtained  here  and  there  even  in  these  schools? 
These  are  questions  to  which  conscientious  men  and  women  should  give  serious 
consideration  before  condemning  and  abandoning  the  experiment  of  the  educa- 
tion of  the  negro. 

"It  is  my  firm  conviction,  as  I  have  said  above,  that  we  must  demonstrate 
by  a  better  sort  of  education  for  the  negro,  and  a  more  effective  sort,  that  it 
may  be  helpful  to  him  and  to  us  before  we  can  hope  to  convince  many  of  our 
people  that  education,  even  of  the  right  sort,  is  a  good  thing  for  the  negro. 
We  cannot  answer  argument  and  prejudice  much  longer  by  theory  and  ap- 
peals to  conscience.  It  is  my  conviction,  also,  that  the  best  training  and  edu- 
cation for  the  masses  of  the  negroes  in  the  South  is  agricultural.  It  is,  of 
coiu-se,  absolutely  essential  for  every  human  being  to  have  first  a  mastery  of 
the  essentials  of  knowledge,  such  as  will  give  him  a  reasonable  degree  of 
Intelligence.  The  negroes  have  not  yet  acquired  this,  nor  would  I  preclude 
the  few  negroes  that  manifest  an  adaptedness  to  scholarship  and  learning 
and  a  power  to  acquire  them  from  the  opportunity  to  pursue  the  study  of  the 
higher  branches  of  learning.  I  must  express  the  conviction,  however,  that 
this  class  of  negroes  will  be  found  to  constitute  but  a  small  per  cent  of  the 
race  at  present,  and  perhaps  for  generations  to  come. 

"I  believe  that  farm  life  offers  the  safest  environment  for  the  negro,  or,  as 
for  that  matter,  for  any  other  race,  in  its  primitive  stage  of  progress  and  civ- 


Work  to  Be  Done  and  How  to  Do  It.  59 

ilization.  Strange  to  say,  however,  the  teudeucy  of  the  negro  is  to  tiock  to 
the  towns  where  the  temptations  to  idleness  and  vice  and  dissipation  of  every 
sort  are  far  more  numerous  than  in  the  country,  and  are  visually  greater  than 
negro  weakness  can  stand.  The  health  conditions,  too,  in  the  towns  are  worse. 
Scores  are  sometimes  huddled  together  in  small  rooms  and  houses  without 
regard  to  the  laws  of  health  or  sex.  It  can  but  prove  ruinous  to  the  negro 
if  he  seeks  town  life  before  his  I'ace  has  grown  stronger  in  character  and  intel- 
lect and  industry  and  in  all  the  essentials  of  racial  strength  by  the  Antean 
touch  of  Mother  Earth  in  the  quiet  country  life  on  the  farm.        * 

'•There  is  greater  demand  on  the  farm  for  the  negro  in  the  South  at  present. 
It  is  the  one  open  door  for  him,  as  I  see  it.  Not  only  is  there  great  demand 
for  his  services  on  the  farms  already  under  cultivation,  but  there  are  also 
vast  territories  of  uncultivated  lands,  exceeding,  perhaps,  the  cultivated  ter- 
ritory, that  invite  his  industry  and  offer  ample  compensation  for  intelligent 
cultivation  and  for  increase  in  the  wealth  and  pi'osperity  of  the  State.  If  the 
negro  can  be  trained  and  educated  to  occupy  this  field  intelligently  and  con- 
tentedly, thus  demonstrating  that  his  education  has  fitted  him  for  making 
better  crops  and  more  money  for  himself  and  his  landlord,  and  has  developed 
in  him  the  power  and  the  ambition  gradually  to  acquire  little  holdings  of  his 
own  and  to  help  redeem  from  waste  the  great  wealth  of  these  thousands  and 
hundreds  of  thousands  of  acres  of  unfilled  lands,  he  will  win  the  confidence, 
respect,  support,  and  aid  of  Southern  white  men,  because  he  will  deserve  them, 
and  he  will  win  a  permanent  place  in  Southern  life  because  he  w^ill  have  made 
himself  indispensable  to  it.  Unless  he  does  this,  the  time  is  not  far  distant 
when  Southern  farmers  will  be  compelled  to  import  foreign  white  laborers, 
when  even  this  safest  door  will  be  closed  to  the  negro. 

"Since  the  consolidation  of  the  State  colored  normal  schools,  under  the 
supervision  of  the  new  Superintendent,  we  have  already  begun  to  develop 
in  a  small  way,  at  the  three  colored  normal  schools,  departments  for  industrial 
and  agricultural  training  with  a  view  to  giving  this  training  to  the  teachers 
of  the  race  and  instilling  into  them  right  ideals.  We  have  been  handicapped, 
however,  in  this  work  by  the  insutficiency  of  the  appropriation  for  these 
schools  and  by  lack  of  permanent  plants  for  them ;  but  with  the  State  appropri- 
ation for  buildings  and  equipment  granted  by  the  General  Assembly  of  1907  we 
will  soon  have  fair  buildings  and  equipment,  as  will  be  seen  from  the  report  of 
the  superintendent  of  these  schools,  printed  elsewhere.  I  do  not  see  why  these 
State  colored  normal  schools  and  the  A.  and  M.  College  for  the  colored  race  at 
Greensboro  might  not  be  made  the  nuclei  for  eventually  working  out  a  success- 
ful plan  of  agricultural  and  industrial  education  for  the  negro  race  by  training 
at  these  institutions  teachers  for  this  sort  of  education,  and,  finally,  when  the 
means  can  be  found  for  it,  establishing  in  the  counties,  especially  the  counties 
with  large  negro  population,  one  or  more  schools  for  giving  this  sort  of  training 
to  the  negroes,  making  these  schools  a  part  of  the  same  general  system  and 
placing  them  all  under  the  same  general  management  and  supervision.  It  will, 
however,  require  time  and  money  to  work  out  this  plan. 

"This  question  of  negro  education  is,  after  all,  not  a  question  of  whether 
the  negro  shall  be  educated  or  not,  for  it  is  impossible  for  any  race  to  remain 
in  this  great  republic  in  the  twentieth  century  uneducated.  The  real  ques- 
tion is,  therefore,  how  he  shall  be  educated  and  by  whom  it  shall  be  done. 
If  his  education  is  not  directed  by   us,  others  that  do  not  understand  our 


60  Work  to  Be  Done  and  How  to  Do  It. 

social  structure,  that  are  iguorant  of  the  nature  and  needs  of  the  negro  and 
have  false  notions  of  his  relation  to  the  white  race  in  the  South,  will  take 
charge  of  it.  Our  safety,  then,  lies  in  taking  charge  of  it  ourselves,  and  direct- 
ing it  along  lines  that  shall  be  helpful  to  him  and  to  us,  and  in  harmony  with 
our  civilization  and  society  and  with  his  nature. 

"There  is  another  phase  of  this  problem  of  negro  education  worthy  of  the 
serious  consideration  of  our  people.  It  is  manifest  to  me  that  if  the  negroes 
become  convinced  that  they  are  to  be  deprived  of  their  schools  and  of  the 
opportunities  of  an  education,  most  of  the  wisest  and  most  self-respecting 
negroes  will  leave  the  State,  and  eventually  there  will  be  left  here  only  the 
indolent,  worthless  and  criminal  part  of  the  negro  population.  Already  there 
has  been  considerable  emigration  of  negroes  from  the  State.  There  is -no  surer 
way  to  drive  the  best  of  them  from  the  State  than  by  keeping  up  this  continual 
agitation  about  withdrawing  from  them  the  meager  educational  opportunities 
that  they  now  have.  Their  emigration  in  large  numbers  would  result  in  a 
complication  of  the  labor  problem.  Some  of  our  Southern  farms  would  be  com- 
pelled to  lie  untenanted  and  unfilled.  The  experience  of  one  district  in  Wilson 
County  illustrates  this.  The  County  Board  of  Education  found  it,  for  various 
reasons,  impossible  to  purchase  a  site  for  a  negro  schoolhouse.  Before  the  year 
was  out  the  board  received  several  offers  from  farmers  in  the  district  to 
donate  a  site.  Upon  inquiry  by  the  chairman  of  the  board  as  to  the  reason  of 
these  generous  offers,  he  was  told  that  when  it  was  learned  that  no  site  for  the 
schoolhouse  could  be  secured  and  that  the  negroes  were  to  have  no  school  in 
that  district,  at  least  one-third  of  the  best  negro  tenants  and  laborers  there 
moved  into  other  districts  where  they  could  have  the  advantages  of  a  school. 
This  is  a  practical  side  of  this  question  that  our  people  would  do  well  to  con- 
sider. What  happened  in  this  district  will  happen  in  the  entire  State  if  we 
give  the  best  negroes  reasonable  grounds  to  believe  that  their  public  school 
privileges  are  to  be  decreased  or  withdrawn.

counties  from  June  30.  lOOS,  to  June  30,  1910. 

The  State  gives  $10  to  each  original  library  and  $5  to  each  supplemental 
library.  Equal  amounts  are  given  by  the  county  board  of  education  in  Uk^ 
counties  where  these  libraries  are  located  and  the  same  amount  raised  jni- 
vately  in  the  districts.  In  many  instances  the  districts  give  more  than  enough 
to  meet  the  requirements  of  the  law.

Note.— Each  couny  is  entitled  to  six  original  libraries  and  six  supplemental  libraries  from 
each  biennial  appropriation  of  $7,500. 

Some  of  the  counties  have  not  availed  themselves  of  the  opportunity,  and  the  law  pro- 
vides that  funds  not  applied  for  on  or  before  the  30th  of  November,  biennially,  may  be  given 
to  the  counties  meeting  the  original  conditions,  regardless  of  the  number  of  libraries  previously 
established.  This  explains  why  some  counties  have  a  large  number  in  excess  of  the  six  during 
some  of  the  biennial  periods.

REPORT  OF  THE  STATE  INSPECTOR  OF  PUBLIC  HIGH 

SCHOOLS,  1908-1909. 


COMMENTS  AND  SUGGESTIONS. 

Enrollment  and  Attendance. — The  first  year  the  public  high  schools  were 
opened  (1907-1908)  there  were  145  schools  in  operation,  and  they  enrolled 
3,949  students  and  made  an  average  daily  attendance  of  2,963.  The  second 
year  (1908-1909),  which  is  covered  by  this  report,  there  were  160  schools  in 
operation,  and  they  enrolled  5,282  students  and  made  an  average  daily  attend- 
ance of  3,787.  The  increase  in  attendance  over  the  preceding  year  was  34  per 
cent.  There  were  enrolled  1,563  boarding  students*  and  .303  public-school 
teachers.  There  were  seven  schools  that  enrolled  30  or  more  boarding  pupils, 
ranging  in  number  as  follows :  61,  55,  50,  49,  34,  31,  30.  Twenty-three  schools 
enrolled  20  or  more  boarding  students.  These  facts  will  give  some  idea  of  how 
the  public  high  schools  are  beginning  to  make  their  influence  felt  even  at  this 
early  stage  of  their  development.  For  the  year  1909-1910  there  are  175  public 
high  schools  in  operation,  and  a  conservative  estimate,  based  upon  the  pre- 
liminary reports,  places  the  enrollment  for  the  current  year  at  about  7,000. 

Our  Chief  Problem,  Expansion.— These  figures  would  seem  to  indicate  that 
our  chief  problem  in  connection  with  the  public  high  schools  is  how  to  make 
adequate  provision  for  the  enlargement  and  increase  of  material  equipment 
and  teaching  force,  in  order  that  the  schools  may  meet  the  demands  that  are 
going  to  be  made  upon  them.  More  teachers  must  be  provided,  larger  school 
buildings  erected,  dormitories  and  mess-halls  built,  and  modern  furnishings 
added.  All  this  resolves  itself  into  a  question  of  greater  revenue  for  the  high 
school.  In  order  to  meet  this  problem  so  as  to  build  and  equip  the  type  of 
high  school  the  immediate  future  will  demand,  it  is  going  to  be  necessary  to 
increase  the  territory  from  which  the  high  school  derives  its  revenue  by 
direct  taxation.  As  the  high  school  is  a  county  institution,  the  county  ought 
to  be  made  the  basis  of  its  support.  As  it  seems  best  to  postpone  a  detailed 
discussion  of  these  matters  until  a  year  hence,  I  shall  have  more  to  say  along 
this  line  and  some  definite  suggestions  to  offer  in  my  next  annual  report. 

Building  Activity. — During  the  past  eighteen  months  twelve  handsome  new 
brick  buildings  have  been  erected  for  the  accommodation  of  public  high  schools 
(and  the  elementary  schools  in  connection  with  them)  at  a  total  aggregate 
cost  of  $92,300.  The  total  value  of  the  school  property  of  these  twelve  schools 
is  $111,000.  There  have  been  four  good  wooden  buildings  erected  during  this 
period  at  a  cost  of  $9,100.  The  total  value  of  the  school  propex'ty  of  these 
four  schools  is  $12,000.  This  gives  a  total  of  sixteen  buildings  in  eighteen 
months,  costing  $101,400,  and  a  total  property  value  for  the  sixteen  schools 
of  $123,000.  This  summary  does  not  take  into  account  the  numerous  cheaper 
wooden  buildings,  ranging  in  cost  from  $500  to  $1,250.  There  are  fifteen  other 
public  high  schools  housed  in  good  brick  buildings,  with  a  total  property  value 
of  $119,300.  These  buildings  were  erected  for  the  most  part  before  the  public 
high  schools  were  organized  or  during  the  first  year  of  their  operation. 


*This  means  students  from  outside  the  local  school  district,  many  of  whom  were  not  actual 
boarders.  Quite  a  number  furnished  their  own  conveyance  and  drove  from  home  every  morn- 
ing, many  from  as  far  as  seven  miles.

Public  High-school  Funds. — The  following  table  shows  the  amount  raised 
for  high-school  instruction  during  the  first  two  years  and  the  sources  from 
which  these  funds  were  derived :

Significant  Facts. — The  public  high  schools  have  done  much  more  than 
merely  offer  high-school  training  to  the  thousands  of  high-school  students  they 
have  enrolled :  they  have  exerted  an  upward  pull  upon  the  elementary  schools 
about  tiiem.  Evidence  of  this  fact  is  to  be  found  in  the  readiness  with  which 
progressive  communities  are  voting  taxes  upon  themselves  for  the  support  of 
the  high  schools  and  of  the  elementary  schools  in  connection  with  them ;  in 
the  voting  of  bonds  for  better  and  more  modern  buildings ;  in  the  consolidation 
of  districts  in  order  to  secure  sufficient  financial  support  to  put  a  central 
school  upon  a  substantial  basis  and  thus  get  State  aid  for  the  high  school ;  in 
a  growing  dissatisfaction  with  the  ineflicient  teacher,  and  in  an  increased 
willingness  to  pay  better  salaries  for  better  teachers  and  longer  school  terms. 
Again,  these  schools  are  extending  their  influence  more  widely  as  they  become 
better  known. 

Counties  Without  High  Schools. — For  the  current  year  (1909-1910)  there 
are  only  nine  counties  without  public  high  schools.  These  coimties  are: 
Brunswick,  Chowan,  Dare.  New  Hanover,  Pasquotank,  Perquimans,  Stanly. 
Tyrrell,  and  Yancey.

♦There  is  no  public  high  school  in  Graham  County;  but  the  county  is  allowed,  under  a 
special  act  of  the  Legislature,  to  co-operate  with  Cherokee  County  in- maintaining  a  joint  pub- 
lic high  school  at  Andrews. 


8  Public  High  Schools,  1908-1909. 

Tlie  number  of  public  bigh  schools  established  the  first  year  (1907-'08) 
was  156.  t 

The  second  year  (1908-'09),  18  of  these  schools  were  discontinued  or  moved 
to  other  points,  and  22  new  schools  established,  making  a  net  gain  of  four 
schools  over  the  first  year.  Thus  there  were  160  public  high  schools  in  oper- 
ation the  second  year  (1908-'09). 

The  third  year  (1909-'10),  2  schools  were  discontinued,  and  17  new  schools 
were  established,  making  175  schools  in  operation  for  the  year  1909-'10. 

THE   ELEMENTARY  SCHOOL  OPERATED   IN   CONNECTION   WITH   THE 

HIGH  SCHOOL. 

The  public  high  school  has  a  vital  organic  relation  to  the  public  elementary 
school  below  it,  and  this  relationship  must  never  be  lost  sight  of.  If  either 
the  public  high  school  or  the  elementary  school  is  ever  to  be  made  really  effi- 
cient, the  other  must  be  made  I'easonably  so.  It  is  necessaiy,  then,  that  a  little 
more  attention  be  paid  to  the  elementary  school  conducted  in  connection  with 
the  public  high  school.  Although  both  schools  may  at  present  be  conducted  in 
the  same  building,  they  are  legally  constituted  two  separate  and  distinct 
schools.  The  public  high  school  is  held  up  to  requirements  that  the  elementary 
school  may  disregard  with  impunity.  The  one  belongs  to  the  county  and  is 
open,  free  of  tuition,  to  pupils  of  high-school  age  residing  in  all  parts  of  the 
county ;  the  other  is  purely  local,  drawing  its  patronage  only  from  the  con- 
tiguous territory.  The  one  must  be  reasonably  well  equipped,  must  follow 
systematic  courses  of  instruction,  and  must  have  competent  instructors ;  the 
other,  too  frequently,  is  a  law  unto  itself  in  these  respects.  The  public  high 
school  has  at  its  head  a  principal  licensed  by  the  State,  who  also  exercises 
supervisory  and  disciplinary  functions  over  the  elementary  school,  but  he  has 
no  voice  in  the  selection  of  the  teachers  whose  work  he  is  to  supervise,  nor  has 
the  County  Board  of  Education  or  the  State. 

Now,  it  is  necessary  that  the  elementary  schools  which  are  operated  in  con- 
nection with  the  public  high  schools,  in  the  same  building  and  under  the  same 
principal,  shall  be  well  equipped,  well  organized,  and  well  taught.  The  merely 
nominal  requirement,  that  the  elementary  school  shall  be  well  provided  for. 
is  practically  inoperative. 

Much  can  be  done  to  improve  these  elementary  schools  by  establishing  for 
them  some  standard  of  teaching  efliciency.  Every  teacher  in  one  of  these 
schools  ought  to  be  required  at  least  to  hold  the  first-grade  county  certificate, 
and  a  much  better  requirement  would  be  that  every  such  teacher  should  hold 
the  five-year  State  certificate.  To  exact  such  a  requirement  at  once  would 
seem,  in  many  cases,  to  impose  an  undue  hardship;  nevertheless,  it  would 
certainly  improve  the  instruction  in  the  elementary  grades,  which  would  mean 
decided  improvement  in  the  high  school  as  well.  And  along  with  this  require- 
ment should  come  minimum  salary  and  minimum  term  regulations.  Not  a  few 
communities  are  at  present  crippling  their  elementary  schools  in  order  to  raise 
the  required  funds  for  the  high  schools.  This  should  not  be  allowed.  The  high 
school  and  the  elementary  school  must  be  improved  together. 


fEleven  of  these  school.s  did  not  open  the  first  year.  Three  of  these  eleven— Battleboro, 
Snow  Hill,  and  Selica— were  not  ready  to  open  at  the  beginning  of  the  second  year,  and  were 
discontinued  in  order  that  the  funds  might  be  used  elsewhere.

HIGH-SCHOOL    INSTRUCTION    IN    TWO-TEACHER    SCHOOLS. 

As  soon  as  it  is  practicable  to  do  so,  it  will  be  to  the  best  interest  of  both 
the  public  high  schools  and  the  elementary  schools  to  discontinue  the  teaching 
of  high-school  branches  in  the  two-teacher  country  schools.  There  are  per- 
haps 800  or  more  of  these  two-teacher  schools  in  which  some  high-school 
instruction  is  given.  I  have  taken  occasion  to  look  into  the  work  of  these 
schools  as  closely  and  as  carefully  as  time  would  permit,  and  I  am  frank  to 
say  that  much  of  the  high-school  instruction  offered  is  but  little  better  than 
none  at  all. 

Two  teachers  who  have  to  instruct  65  or  more  pupils  in  all  the  branches  of 
the  first  seven  grades  ought  not  to  attempt  to  give  insti-uction  in  the  high- 
school  branches.  To  do  so  is,  in  most  cases,  a  mere  waste  of  time.  It  means, 
too,  that  the  lower  grades  must  be  neglected  and  that  the  high-school  instruc- 
tion must  be  given  in  a  haphazard  way,  without  any  plan  or  system,  and  with- 
out adequate  time  for  recitation  periods.  It  too  frequently  happens  that  two 
or  three  advanced  pupils  who  are  pursuing  one  or  two  high-school  subjects — 
say  Latin  and  Algebra  or  General  History — are  allowed  to  take  up  one-half 
(or  more  in  some  cases)  of  one  teacher's  time,  while  30  or  40  pupils  in  the 
elementary  grades  are  being  neglected.  Again  it  happens  that  the  recitation 
periods  for  the  high-school  classes  are  not  more  than  ten  minutes  in  length, 
and  thus  the  high-school  pupils  ax'e  neglected ;  or,  sometimes,  the  teacher  has 
a  "favorite  study"  which  is  overstressed  to  the  neglect  of  all  other  subjects. 
Such  aimless,  haphazard  work  ought  not  to  be  permitted ;  and  now  that  the 
public  high  school  is  within  comparatively  easy  reach  of  all  pupils  of  high- 
school  grade,  there  is  no  valid  reason  why  such  pupils  should  not  be  taken 
out  of  the  local  two-teacher  school  and  sent  on  to  the  public  high  school. 

Of  course,  local  community  pride  will  in  many  cases  revolt  against  this  idea, 
and  may  for  a  time  operate  against  the  plan  proposed ;  but  as  soon  as  the  gen- 
eral public  shall  become  actually  sensible  of  the  fact  that  the  high  school  is 
not  merely  a  local  school,  but  that  it  is  a  county  institution^  this  objection  will 
no  longer  exist.  The  county  superintendent  can  do  much  to  remedy  the  situa- 
tion discussed  above  by  encouraging  the  older  pupils  to  go  on  to  the  public 
high  school,  and  many  of  them  are  exerting  their  influence  in  this  direction 
with  good  results.  But  there  are  not  a  few  cases  in  which  the  pride  of  the 
teacher  has  counteracted  the  influence  of  the  superintendent  and  kept  the 
pupils  at  home  in  the  two-teacher  school  by  assuring  parents  that  just  as  good 
advantages  are  offered  in  the  local  school  as  are  offered  in  the  high  school. 
This  situation  can  be  met  most  effectually  by  requiring  every  teacher  in  the 
public  schools  who  teaches  high-school  subjects  to  hold  a  State  certificate. 

If  the  public  schools  having  three  or  more  teachers  continue  to  give  high- 
school  instruction,  they  ought  to  be  required  to  employ  for  this  work  regularly 
licensed  high-school  teachers,  to  organize  their  work  upon  a  respectable  basis, 
allowing  adequate  time  for  recitation  periods,  and  to  follow  systematic  courses 
of  instruction.  Otherwise,  such  schools  will  operate  against  any  compact  and 
effective  organization  of  the  public  high-school  work. 

I  am  giving  herewith  the  number  of  students  reported  by  the  county  super- 
intendents as  pursuing  high-school  branches  in  the  various  counties  of  the 
State.    Following  the  name  of  each  county  is  the  total  number  of  high-school

"The  people  are  making  every  effort  possible  to  build  up  a  good  school  at 
Bay  Leaf,  and  the  school  is  in  a  very  prosperous  condition.    At  the  close  of  the 
school  $800  was  raised  for  a  new  dormitory,  and  they  expect  to  increase  this  to 
$2,000."  

Principal  M.  B.  Dry,  Gary  High  School,  Wake  County: 

"Rural  library  secured ;  campus  fenced,  and  fence  painted ;  school  farm 
secured  (during  lifetime  of  owner)  ;  State  flag  purchased,  etc.  Total  enroll- 
ment for  school,  307 ;  boarders,  77 ;  counties  represented,  18." 


Principal  R.  C.  Holton,  Wakelon  High  School,  Wake  County: 
"We  are  cultivating  three  acres  this  year — two  in  corn  and  peas  and  one  in 
cotton.    Part  of  the  work  is  done  by  the  boys;  the  rest  is  given." 


Principal  A.  R.  Freeman,  Pikeville  High  School,  Wayne  County: 
"Students  coming  from  the  country  districts  have  made  the  best  attendance. 
Some  drive  as  far  as  seven  miles." 


Principal  E.  G.  Suttlemyke,  WilkesTjoro  High  School,  Wilkes  County: 
"New  building  completed  for  next  term,  costing  $7,000.     The  old  building 
will  be  converted  into  a  dormitory  which  will  accommodate  about  35."

TOWN  AND  VILLAGE   HIGH   SCHOOLS. 

Sixty-four  of  these  schools  reported  in  full  or  in  part.  These  64  schools  re- 
ported an  enrollment  of:  boys,  2,275;  girls,  3,132;  total,  5,407.  Forty-one  of 
these  64  schools  reported  their  average  daily  attendance ;  23  of  them  did  not 
make  such  report.  These  41  schools  had  an  enrollment  of:  boys,  1,643;  girls, 
2,210;  total,  3,853;  and  an  average  daily  attendance  of:  boys,  1,330;  girls, 
1,844;  total,  3,174.  Assuming  that  the  average  daily  attendance  in  the  64 
schools  (23  of  which  did  not  report  their  attendance)  was  as  high  in  propor- 
tion to  the  enrollment  as  it  was  in  the  41  schools  that  did  report,  we  find  that 
these  64  schools  must  have  made  an  average  daily  attendance  of :  boys,  1,841 ; 
girls,  2,613 ;  total,  4,454.*

*Last  year's  report  showed  a  balance  of  $11,970.19.  The  seeming  discrepancy  is  due  to  the 
fact  that  outstanding  vouchers,  amounting  to  $5,794.48,  had  not  been  presented  for  payment 
when  the  county  treasurers  made  their  reports.

REPORT  OF  THE  STATE  INSPECTOR  OF  PUBLIC  HIGH 

SCHOOLS,  1909-1910. 


I 


COMMENTS   AND   SUGGESTIONS. 

Number,  Classification,  and  Distribution  of  Schools. — During  tbe  year  cov- 
ered by  this  report,  1909-'10,  the  number  of  public  high  schools  in  operation 
increased  over  the  preceding  year  from  160  to  170.  The  number  of  four- 
year  schools  increased  from  2  to  10;  the  number  of  three-year  schools,  from 
52  to  69;  and  there  was  a  net  reduction  in  the  number  of  two-year  schools 
from  106  to  91. 

The  public  high  schools  are  now  pretty  well  distributed  over  the  State — 
literally,  from  Currituck  to  Cheroliee.  There  were  this  year  only  11  counties 
without  such  schools,  and  apportionments  were  made  to  two  of  these,  but 
were  vmused  because  the  schools  to  which  they  were  made  failed  to  meet  the 
State's  requirements.  For  the  year  1910-'ll  there  are  only  9  counties  without 
public  high  schools,  namely,  Brunswick,  Chowan,  Dare,  Graham,  New  Han- 
over, Pasquotank.  Perquimans,  Tyrrell,  and  Watauga.  Of  these  9  it  will  be 
observed  that  2  are  in  the  extreme  west  and  7  in  the  extreme  east. 

Enrollment  and  Attendance. — These  schools  enrolled  this  year  5,775  stu- 
dents and  made  an  average  daily  attendance  of  4,145.  The  increase  in 
enrollment  over  the  preceding  year  was  493,  or  9.33  per  cent,  and  the  increase 
in  attendance  was  358,  or  9.45  per  cent.  The  number  of  students  enrolled 
from  outside  the  local  district  was  1,608;  the  number  of  boarding  students 
enrolled  was  1,190;  and  the  number  of  teachers  enrolled  was  349. 

In  view  of  the  fact  that  in  1908-'09  there  was  an  increase  in  enrollment  of 
34  per  cent  over  the  preceding  year,  it  would  seem  that  the  increase  of  only 
9.33  per  cent  for  the  year  1909-'10  is  rather  small.  But  it  must  be  added 
that  during  this  year  the  schools  have  been  a  little  better  organized,  and  that 
many  pupils  who  formerly  would  have  been  graded  as  high-school  pupils  were 
not  this  year  counted  as  such.  For  instance,  there  were  several  hundred 
grammar-school  pupils  pursuing  one  or  two  branches  in  the  high  school  who 
were  not  counted  as  high-school  pupils  at  all.  And  again,  it  would  seem  that 
there  was  a  falling  off  in  the  number  of  boarding  students,  whereas  such  was 
not  the  case.  In  the  report  for  1908-'09  there  were  reported  by  the  principals 
1,563  boarding  pupils;  but  since  this  number  included  all  high-school  pupils 
enrolled  from  outside  the  local  district,  many  of  whom  boarded  at  home,  the 
number  of  actual  boarders  could  not  be  obtained.  In  this  report  the  proper 
distinction  has  been  made  by  the  principals  in  their  reports,  as  is  shown  in 
one  of  the  tables  below,  in  order  that  the  number  of  actual  boarding  students 
might  be  known. 

Teaching  Force. — The  number  of  teachers  in  the  public  high  schools  has 
been  increased  from  236  to  259,  and  there  was  urgent  necessity  for  more  as- 
sistant teachers  in  many  of  the  schools,  which  could  not  be  met  because  of  a 
lack  of  means.  And  there  is  going  to  be  a  still  greater  demand  for  addi- 
tional teachers  from  now  on,  as  the  schools  develop  and  increase  their  courses 
of  study  from  two  to  three  years  and  from  three  years  to  four.  There  has 
been  gradual  improvement,  too,  in  the  preparation  of  the  teachers  entering 


s 


54  Public  High  Schools,  1909-1910. 

the  Iiigh-school  work  from  year  to  year.  Most  of  them  are  now  graduates 
of  our  better  colleges  and  universities,  and  practically  all  of  those  who  are 
not  graduates  are  college  trained.  It  is  true  that  many  of  them  who  enter 
the  work  are  fresh  from  college  and  have  had  but  little  or  no  experience  in 
teaching,  but  every  effort  is  made  to  assist  them  through  conferences  with  the 
State  Superintendent  and  Inspector  of  High  Schools,  through  visitation  and 
suLCgestion,  and  throuy;h  high-school  literature  sent  out  from  the  State  Depart- 
ment and  from  the  University. 

Receipts  and  Expend itures.^The  total  receipts  this  year  increased  from 
$123,318.16  to  $138,631.77,  and  the  total  expenditures  increased  from  $112,985.63 
to  $127,054.88,  making  a  net  increase  of  $15,313.61  in  receipts  and  $14,069.25 
in  expenditures. 

The  average  salary  of  the  high-school  principal  was  increased  from  $622.42 
to  $665.93.  There  were  10  principals  who  received  $1,000  or  more,  and  27 
who  received  less  than  $500.  These  figures  do  not  include  four  graded  schools 
that  received  students  on  a  tuition  basis  and  one  school  whose  term  was 
unavoidably  cut  short.  The  total  expenditures  for  principals'  salaries  in- 
creased from  $98,187.59  to  $109,878.52. 

The  average  amount  expended  per  pupil' enrolled  was  $22;  the  average  cost 
per  pupil  in  daily  attendance  was  $30.65.  The  highest  amount  paid  per  pupil 
seems  to  have  been  paid  in  the  Morven  High  School.  The  cost  per  pupil 
enrolled  in  that  school  was  $59.38,  and  the  cost  per  pupil  in  daily  attendance 
was  $92.54.  This,  of  course,  with  our  present  limited  funds  for  high-school 
instruction,  is  out  of  reason. 

There  were  calls  this  year  for  about  $25,000  more  for  high-school  instruc- 
tion than  was  available.  Many  of  the  schools  have  now  developed  to  the 
point  where  additional  equipment  and  teaching  force  are  absolutely  necessary 
if  they  are  to  continue  to  develop  and  to  increase  in  efficiency. 

Length  of  Term. — The  average  length  of  the  term  of  the  high  schools  was 
30  2-5  weeks.     This  is  an  increase  of  only  two-fifths  of  a  week  over  last  year. 

Improvement  in  Equipment  and  High-school  Environment.— -Several  new 
high-school  buildings  have  been  erected  during  the  year,  and  much  decided 
improvement  has  been  made  in  the  general  surroundings  of  many  of  the 
schools.  Several  schools,  too,  have  secured  dormitories,  two  have  secured 
large  and  valuable  farms  (Reynoldson  High  School  in  Gates  County  and 
Teacheys  High  School  in  Duplin  Coimty).  and  many  have  made  advancement 
in  other  directions.  I  have  appended  below  a  number  of  extracts  from  the 
principals'  reports  which  tell  in  a  terse,  concise  way  something  of  the  im- 
provements made  in  the  directions  mentioned  above  and  also  show  the  schools 
and  the  commiuiities  in  which  such  activity  has  been  taking  place. 

The  photographs  in  this  report  show  a  few  of  the  new  buildings  recentl.v 
erected  to  accommodate  iniblic  high  schools.  All  of  those  shown,  w^ith  possi- 
bly one  exception,  were  erected  or  enlarged  and  improved  in  response  to  the 
demand  for  better  accommodations  for  the  high  schools.  These  few  views 
tell  a  more  graphic  story  of  the  progress  that  has  been  made  than  could  be 
given  in  words. 

Better  Internal  Organization. — A  persistent  effort  has  been  made  to  improve 
the  internal  organization  of  the  high  schools,  and  some  improvement  has  been 
made  in  this  direction.  Much  has  been  accomplished  towards  this  end 
through  the  high-school  literature,  and  especially  through  the  series  of  con-

fei-ences  held  with  the  priucipals  and  county  superintendents  at  Greensboro, 
Greenville,  Asheville,  and  Goldsboro. 

Conferences  with  Principals. — These  meetings  afforded  an  excellent  oppor- 
tunity for  the  principals  to  discuss  together,  iu  an  informal  way,  with  the 
State  Superintendent  of  Public  Instruction  and  the  State  Inspector  of  Public 
High  Schools,  some  of  their  definite  problems,  and  to  have  answered  such 
questions  relating  to  the  organization  and  administration  of  the  high  schools 
as  they  might  wish  to  ask.  In  this  way  they  got  a  better  understanding  of 
what  the  high-school  movement  really  means,  were  better  prepared  to  attack 
their  problems  in  the  light  of  larger  experience,  were  better  enabled  to  see 
matters  of  administration  from  the  point  of  view  of  the  State,  and  thus  to 
work  together  with  greater  unity  of  purpose. 

No  formal  programs  were  prepared  for  these  meetings,  but  the  general 
order  of  work  and  the  topics  discussed  were  about  as  follows: 

First  Day — A  joint  meeting  of  the  county  superintendents  and  public  high- 
school  principals,  at  which  meeting  topics  of  common  interest  were  discussed ; 
such  as  The  Relation  of  the  Public  High  School  to  the  County  System  of 
Schools ;  The  Necessity  for  Cooperation  Between  the  Principal  and  the  Super- 
intendent; The  Necessity  for  Keeping  Complete  Records,  and  for  Making 
Prompt  and  Accurate  Reports   (financial  and  statistical). 

Se(oxd  Day — A  meeting  of  the  high-school  principals,  at  which  such  topics 
as  the  following  were  discussed:  The  Admission.  Gradation,  and  Promotion 
of  Pupils;  brief  reports  from  the  various  principals  as  to  the  progress  of 
their  schools ;  The  High-school  Library  and  the  Literary  Society ;  How  to 
Advertise  the  School  Through  Catalogues.  Circular-letters,  and  the  Local 
Press ;  and  various  other  topics  which  the  priucipals  brought  up  for  dis- 
cussion. 

These  meetings  certainly  should  be  continued,  for  they  have  meant  more 
for  the  improvement  of  the  schools  than  any  other  single  effort  put  forth  in 
this  direction. 

HIGH-SCHOOL    INSTRUCTION    IN    TWO-TEACHER    SCHOOLS. 

I  wish  to  quote  from  my  report  for  last  year  what  I  had  to  say  regarding 
high-school  instruction  in  two-teacher  schools  : 

"As  soon  as  it  is  practicable  to  do  so,  it  will  be  to  the  best  Interest  of  both 
the  public  high  schools  and  the  elementary  schools  to  discontinue  the  teaching 
of  high-school  branches  in  the  two-teacher  countr5'  schools.  There  are  per- 
haps SOO  or  more  of  these  two-teacher  schools  in  which  some  high-school 
instruction  is  given.  I  have  taken  occasion  to  look  into  the  work  of  these 
schools  as  closely  and  as  carefully  as  time  would  permit,  and  I  am  frank  to 
say  that  much  of  the  high-school  instruction  offered  is  but  little  better  than 
none  at  all. 

"Two  teachers  who  have  to  instruct  65  or  more  pupils  in  all  the  branches  of 
the  first  seven  grades  ought  not  to  attempt  to  give  instruction  in  the  high- 
school  branches.  To  do  so  is,  in  most  cases,  a  mere  waste  of  time.  It  means, 
too,  that  the  lower  grades  must  be  neglected  and  that  the  high-school  instruc- 
tion must  be  given  in  a  haphazard  way,  without  any  plan  or  system,  and 
without  adequate  time  for  recitation  periods.  It  too  frequently  happens  that 
two  or  three  advanced  pupils  who  are  pursuing  one  or  two  high-school  sub- 
jects— say,  Latin  and  Algebra   or  General  History — are  allowed  to  take  up 


56  Public  High  Schools,  1909-1910. 

one-half  (or  more  in  some  cases)  of  one  teacher's  time,  while  30  or  40  pupils 
in  the  elementary  grades  are  being  neglected.  Again  it  happens  that  the 
recitation  periods  for  the  high-school  classes  are  not  more  than  ten  minutes  in 
length,  and  thus  the  high-school  pupils  are  neglected ;  or,  sometimes,  the 
teacher  has  a  "favorite  study"  which  is  overstressed  to  the  neglect  of  all 
other  subjects.  Such  aimless,  haphazard  work  ought  not  to  be  permitted ;  and 
now  that  the  public  high  school  is  within  comparatively  easy  reach  of  all 
pupils  of  high-school  grade,  there  is  no  valid  reason  why  such  pupils  should 
not  be  taken  out  of  the  local  two-teacher  school  and  sent  on  to  the  public 
high  school. 

"Of  course,  local  community  pride  will  in  many  cases  revolt  against  this 
idea,  and  may  for  a  time  operate  against  the  plan  proposed ;  but  as  soon  as 
the  general  public  shall  become  actually  sensible  of  the  fact  that  the  high 
school  is  not  merely  a  local  school,  but  that  it  is  a  county  institution,  this 
objection  will  no  longer  exist.  The  County  Superintendent  can  do  much  to 
remedy  the  situation  discussed  above  by  encouraging  the  older  pupils  to  go  on 
to  the  public  high  school,  and  many  of  them  are  exerting  their  influence  in 
this  direction  with  good  results.  But  there  are  not  a  few  cases  in  which  the 
pride  of  the  teacher  hjis  counteracted  the  influence  of  the  Superintendent  and 
kept  the  pupils  at  home  in  the  two-teacher  school  by  assuring  parents  that 
just  as  good  advantages  are  offered  in  the  local  school  as  are  offered  in  the 
high  school.  This  situation  can  be  met  most  effectually  by  requiring  every 
teacher  in  the  public  schools  who  teaches  high-school  subjects  to  hold  a  State 
certificate. 

"If  the  public  schools  having  three  or  more  teachers  continue  to  give  high- 
school  instruction,  they  ought  to  be  required  to  employ  for  this  work  regu- 
larly licensed  high-school  teachers,  to  organize  their  work  upon  a  respectable 
basis,  allowing  adequate  time  for  recitation  periods,  and  to  follow  systematic 
courses  of  instruction.  Otherwise,  such  schools  will  operate  against  any  com- 
pact and  effective  organization  of  the  public  high-school  work." 

THE  ELEMENTARY  SCHOOL  OPERATED   IN  CONNECTION   WITH   THE 

HIGH    SCHOOL. 

I  am  firmly  convinced  that  more  attention  should  be  paid  to  the  elementary 
school  operated  in  connection  with  the  public  high  school.  I  beg  to  repeat 
what  I  had  to  say  in  this  connection  in  my  report  one  year  ago : 

"The  public  high  school  has  a  vital  organic  relation  to  the  public  elementary 
school  below  it,  and  this  relationship  must  never  be  lost  sight  of.  If  either 
the  public  high  school  or  the  elementary  school  is  ever  to  be  made  really 
efficient,  the  other  must  be  made  reasonably  so.  It  is  necessary,  then,  that  a 
little  more  attention  be  paid  to  the  elementary  school  conducted  in  connection 
with  the  public  high  school.  xVlthough  both  schools  may  at  present  be  con- 
ducted in  the  same  building,  they  are  legally  constituted  two  separate  and 
distinct  schools.  The  public  high  school  is  held  up  to  requirements  that  the 
elementary  school  may  disregard  with  impunity.  The  one  belongs  to  the 
county  and  is  open,  free  of  tuition,  to  pupils  of  high-school  age  residing  in  all 
parts  of  the  county;  the  other  is  purely  local,  drawing  its  patronage  only 
from  the  contiguous  territory.  The  one  must  be  reasonably  well  equipped, 
must  follow  systematic  courses  of  instruction,  and  must  have  competent 
instructors;  the  other,  too  frequently,   is  a  law  unto  itself  in  these  respects. 


Public  High  Schools,  1909-1910.  5Y 

The  public  high  school  has  at  its  head  a  principal  liceused  by  the  State,  who 
also  exercises  supervisory  and  disciplinary  functions  over  the  elementary 
school,  but  he  has  no  voice  m  the  selection  of  the  teachers  whose  work  he  is 
to  supervise,  nor  has  the  County  Board  of  Education  or  the  State. 

"Now,  it  is  necessary  that  the  elementary  schools  which  are  operated  in 
connection  with  the  public  high  schools,  in  the  same  building  and  under  the 
same  principal,  shall  be  well  equipped,  well  organized,  and  well  taught.  The 
merely  nominal  requirement,  that  the  elementary  school  shall  be  well  provided 
for.  is  practically  inoperative. 

"Much  can  be  done  to  improve  these  elementary  schools  by  establishing  for 
them  some  standard  of  teaching  efficiency.  Every  teacher  in  one  of  these 
schools  ought  to  be  required  at  least  to  hold  the  first-grade  county  certificate, 
and  a  much  better  requirement  would  be  that  every  such  teacher  should  hold  the 
five-year  State  certificate.  To  exact  such  a  requirement  at  once  would  seem, 
in  many  cases,  to  impose  an  undue  hardship ;  nevertheless,  it  would  certainly 
improve  the  instruction  in  the  elementary  grades,  which  would  mean  decided 
improvement  in  the  high  school  as  well.  And  along  with  this  requirement 
should  come  minimum  salary  and  minimum  term  regulations.  Not  a  few 
communities  are  at  present  crippling  their  elementary  schools  in  order  to  raise 
the  required  funds  for  the  high  schools.  This  should  not  be  allowed.  The 
high  school  and  the  elementary  school  must  be  improved  together." 

Again,  many  of  the  high  schools  are  to-day  so  seriously  fettered  by  the  ele- 
mentary schools  operated  in  connection  with  them  that  development  seems 
hopeless.  Time  and  again  it  happens  that  a  local  committee  will  endeavor  to 
use.  either  directly  or  indirectly,  high-school  funds  for  elementary  school 
instruction.  Of  course,  this  practice  is  forbidden,  and  it  is  checked  whenever 
it  is  discovered.  But  local  committees  in  too  many  cases  do  not  discriminate 
between  the  elementary  school  and  the  high  school.  If  the  money  is  to  the 
credit  of  the  school,  they  are  goiug  to  use  it  in  one  way  or  another.  It  seems 
difficult  to  get  committees  to  understand  in  the  first  place  the  meaning  of 
"high  school,"  and  in  the  second  place  that  the  high  school  and'  the  elementary 
school,  though  operated  in  the  same  building,  are  legally  constituted  two  sep- 
arate and  distinct  schools.  It  frequently  happens  that  an  effort  is  made, 
where  the  elementary  school  is  crowded  and  the  high  school  is  not,  to  force 
the  principal  to  do  a  part  of  the  elementary  school  work;  again  it  happens 
that  an  effort  is  made  to  have  one  of  the  elementary  school  teachers  paid  from 
the  high-school  fund  by  giving  her  a  class  in  the  high  school  and  paying  her, 
say,  two-thirds  of  her  salary  out  of  the  high-school  fund.  For  such  illegal 
practices  the  apportionments  to  several  schools  have  been  greatly  reduced  or 
withdrawn  altogether.  It  was  never  intended  by  the  high-school  law  that  one 
cent  of  the  high-school  fund  should  go  for  elementary  instruction,  thus  causing 
the  local  elementary  school  to  develop  at  the  expense  of  the  county  high 
school,  nor  that  the  elementary  school  operated  in  connection  with  the  high 
school  should  become  a  fetter  to  the  high  school  and  thus  handicap  its  growth. 

The  point  at  issue  here  is  that  in  too  many  cases  the  administrative  policy 
of  the  high  school  is  too  largely  shaped  by  local  opinion  and  governed  by 
purely  local  needs.  Definite  standards  of  excellence  must  be  demanded  of  the 
high  school  which  the  local  elementary  school  for  the  present  cannot  hope  to 
attain,  and  these  standards  can  only  be  demanded  by  officials  whose  policy 
and  action  are  not  shaped  wholly  by  local  needs. 


58  Public  High  Schools,  1909-1910. 

Unless  the  evils  referred  to  iu  the  foregoing  paragraphs  are  elimiuated  or 
reduced  to  a  minimum,  it  is  going  to  be  necessary  to  segregate  the  high  school 
from  the  elementary  school  altogether.  It  is  beginning  to  appear  that  segre- 
gation is  the  only  satisfactory  solution  to  this  problem  if  the  integrity  of  the 
high  school  is  to  be  preserved  and  if  its  standard  of  efficiency  is  to  be  ad- 
vanced. 

RECOMMENDATIONS. 

In  my  report  two  years  ago  I  called  attention  in  a  general  way  to  the  type 
of  central  high  school  that  we  should  begin  to  build.  I  wish  to  bring  forward 
certain  passages  from  that  report : 

"As  at  present  organized,  the  public  high  school  is  within  comparatively 
easy  reach  of  the  majority  of  pupils  of  high-school  age.  Thus  the  high 
school  is  a  matter  of  personal  interest  to  a  majority  of  the  people,  and  this 
popular  interest  is  going  to  serve  as  a  valuable  asset  iu  our  work  of  the 
future.  In  starting  this  system  we  have  proceeded  along  the  line  of  least 
resistance,  and  I  am  confident  we  have  made  a  proper  beginning.  A  sure 
foundation  has  been  laid  upon  which  the  structure  of  the  future  may  be 
reared.  Now,  if  we  are  to  develop  the  type  of  high  school  that  can  be  made 
of  most  service,  we  must  begin  to  build  along  somewhat  broader  lines ;  we 
must  take  steps  at  the  earliest  practicable  moment  to  develop  the  strong 
central  high  school,  one  for  each  county,  fully  equipped,  offering  strong 
courses  of  study,  and  segregated,  if  necessary,  from  the  elementary  school. 
This  central  school,  in  every  ease,  should  be  required  to  offer  full  four-year 
courses  of  instruction,  in  the  classics,  the  sciences,  and  industry.  I  am  confi- 
dent that  this  type  of  school  must  come  if  the  demands  of  the  present  and 
the  future  are  to  be  met,  and  if  the  high-school  work  is  to  possess  the  strength, 
and  the  dignity,  and  the  importance  that  justly  belong  to  it.  And  as  these 
schools  grow  and  extend  their  influence  there  must  come  in  connection  with 
each  one  the  principal's  home,  the  mess-hall,  and  dormitory  facilities.  A  few 
counties  are  now  ready,  it  seems  to  me,  to  build  the  central  high  school,  and  I 
can  see  no  reason  why  they  should  not  be  encouraged  to  do  so.     *     *     * 

"The  mess-hall  and  the  dormitory  are  adjuncts  that  must  be  provided  very 
soon.  Already  hundreds  of  students  from  the  adjoining  districts  and  from 
distant  parts  of  the"  counties  are  crowding  into  these  public  high  schools,  who 
must  find  board  in  the  neighborhood  of  the  schools.     *     *     * 

"Another  matter  that  ought  to  be  considered  in  planning  for  the  central 
high  school  of  the  future  is  that  of  acquiring  suitable  lands  for  the  purposes 
of  agricultural  and  industrial  instruction.  When  it  is  generally  understood 
by  the  people  of  the  rural  districts  that  the  State  has  taken  up  the  work  of 
secondary  education  with  seriousness  of  purpose,  and  that  it  intends  to  build 
for  its  youth  such  schools  as  the  futiu-e  may  demand,  then  it  will  be  an  easy 
matter  to  secure  by  donation,  without  one  cent  of  cost  in  most  cases,  at  a 
very  small  expense  in  any  case,  sufficient  lands  for  the  pui-poses  of  the  high 
school.  It  will  be  a  very  wise  investment  for  any  community  to  donate  the 
land  for  the  central  high  school  to  the  county  in  order  to  secure  the  location 
of  the  school.  The  increasing  demand  for  instruction  in  agricultiu*e,  domestic 
science,  and  manual  training  is  bound  to  be  met  in  some  way,  and  in  planning 
for  the  larger  growth  of  the  public  high  school  this  fact  must  be  taken  into 
consideration. 

"This,  in  brief,  is  the  plan  we  must  begin  to  work  towards.  We  cannot  ac- 
complish everything  at  once,  but  if  the  proper  encouragement  is  given,  it  will 


Public  High  Schools,  1909-1910.  59 

be  a  matter  of  only  a  few  years  before  every  county  in  the  State  can  have 
and  will  have  one  strong  central  high  school.  But  in  recommending  the  cen- 
tral high  school  I  would  not  be  misunderstood ;  I  do  not  advocate  the  discon- 
tinuance of  the  small  high  school,  such  as  now  exists  in  most  of  the  counties. 
It  will  doubtless  be  necessary  to  discontinue  many  of  the  small  schools,  but 
it  will  be  well  if,  in  addition  to  the  central  school,  each  county,  according  to 
its  wealth  and  size,  can  maintain  from  two  to  four  small  secondary  schools 
convenientlj^  located  and  offering  about  two  years  of  the  high-school  course. 
These  small  schools  can  be  operated  at  small  expense,  and  they  will  bring 
high-school  instruction  within  reach  of  a  larger  number  of  pupils  who  will 
not,  for  some  years,  at  any  rate,  attend  the  central  school." 

The  logical  unit  of  organization  and  of  support  for  the  central  high  school 
is  the  county ;  and,  if  the  type  of  school  which  we  most  need  is  to  be  developed, 
it  Is  plain  that  the  county  must  be  made  the  basis  of  its  support  rather  than 
the  district  or  the  township.  To  make  the  county  the  unit  would  not  only 
make  it  possible  for  the  central  high  school  to  receive  adequate  support,  but 
it  would  also  remove  the  officers  from  certain  local  fettering  influences  that 
are  now  impeding  the  progress  of  so  many  of  our  .schools.  Provision  should 
be  made  to  allow  counties  establishing  central  high  schools  to  provide  for 
their  support  either  by  a  direct  high-school  tax  or  by  apportionment  from  the 
general  county  school  fund  In  cases  where  this  fund  is  sufficiently  large  to 
justify  it. 

Certain  it  is  that  more  money  niust  be  raised  for  the  central  high  school ; 
yet  In  many  counties  there  is  far  more  expended  for  high-school  instruction 
of  an  indifferent  sort  than  would  be  required  to  operate  a  first-class  central 
high  school,  could  this  be  concentrated  and  could  the  high-school  pupils  be 
assembled  in  one  school. 

The  township,  or  in  some  cases  the  district  or  village,  could  be  made  the 
\anit  of  organization  for  the  small  two-year  school  now  in  operation  in  so 
many  of  the  coimties.  As  so  many  of  the  short-term  couuty  schools  are  not 
able  to  prepare  adequately  for  high-school  work,  it  might  be  well  to  allow 
those  small  schools  to  offer  three  years'  work,  beginning  with  the  seventh 
grade.  They  could  then  advance  their  students  so  they  could  complete  the 
remainder  of  the  course  at  the  central  high  school  in  two  years.  It  may  be 
found  practicable  to  continue  these  schools  as  State  graded  schools,  thus  en- 
abling them  to  improve  the  quality  of  their  instruction  from  the  first  grade 
up.  Such  a  plan  would  have  telling  effect  upon  increasing  local  taxation  and 
consolidation,  and  in  hastening  transportation  where  that  is  necessary. 

If  such  a  plan  as  I  have  briefly  sketched  is  ever  carried  out.  the  State  ap- 
propriation for  high  schools  would  have  to  be  greatly  Increased  in  order  that 
the  maximum  State  apportionment  to  the  central  high  school  might  be  $1,500 
or  $2,000,  made  on  condition,  of  course,  that  all  necessary  buildings,  equip- 
ment, etc.,  be  provided  without  cost  to  the  State,  and  that  the  county  contrib- 
ute a  like  amount  for  annual  expenses  of  the  high  school,  raised  either  by 
taxation  or  by  apportionment  from  the  general  county  fund. 

SUMMARY   OF   RECOMMENDATIONS. 

1.  Make  the  county  the  unit  of  organization  and  the  unit  of  support. 

2.  Segregate  the  central  high  school  from  the  elementary  school,  and  thus 
free  it  from  too  great  dominance  of  purely  local  interest  and  influence. 


60  Public  High  Schools,  1909-1910. 

3.  Continue  the  small  two-year  high  schools  now  in  operation,  converting 
them,  if  necessary,  into  State  graded  schools,  and  requiring  of  their  lower 
grades  higher  standards  of  efficiency. 

4.  Increase  the  State  appropriation  for  public  high  schools  to  $100  000,  and 
increase  the  maximum  apportionment  to  the  central  school  to  $1,500  or  $2,000.

Principal  R.  C.  Holton,  WaJcelon  High  School,  Wake  Count }/: 

Yielding  somewhat  to  the  demand  for  less  Latin,  I  did  not  require  it  to  be 
taken  by  pupils  having  little  opportunity  of  going  to  college,  or  by  those  seri- 
ously objecting  to  that  study.  I  supplied  instrumental  music,  agriculture, 
and  civil  government. 

The  Wakelon  and  Zebulon  divisions  of  the  school  were  brought  together  (in 
the  new  $15,000  building)  February  14,  and  the  work  more  thoroughly  organ- 
ized.     Two  rooms  were  then  available  for  the  high-school  work.

cultivated.  A  ton  of  high-grade  guano  has  been  given.  First  crop  is  good 
Irish  potatoes;  second  will  be  corn.

lated in  the  school  by  frequent  notices  in  the  local  papers  in  regard  to  the 
work.     The  publishing  of  a  catalogue  was  also  found  to  be  very  helpful.

♦Apportionments  were  made  to  these  five  schools  for  the  year  1909-'10,  but  they  failed  to 
meet  the  requirements  and  were  discontinued.  Sladesville  and  Unionville  are  ready  to  meet 
the  requirements  now,  and  so  appear  in  the  list  of  new  schools  for  1910-'ll. 

tThere  was  no  public  high  school  in  Graham  County;  but  the  county  was  allowed,  under 
a  special  act  of  the  Legislature,  to  turn  its  apportionment  over  to  Andrews  High  School,  Cher- 
okee County,  on  condition  that  high-school  pupils  from  Graham  be  allowed  to  attend  the 
Andrews  School  free  of  tuition.  The  number  of  pupils  from  Graham  was  not  sufficient  to  jus- 
tify the  continuance  of  the  State  apportionment,  and  it  was  therefore  withdrawn.

REPORT 


OF 


Supervisor  of  Teacher-Training 


FOR   THE 


YEARS  1908-09   AND  1909-"10 


J.    A.    BIVINS 

Supervisor  of  Teacher-Training 


LETTER  OF  TRANSMITTAL 


Raleigh,  December  28,  1910. 
Hon.  J.  Y.  Joyner, 

Raleigh,  y.  C. 

Dear  Sir  : — I  desire  to  submit  the  following  report  of  work  clone  iu  the 
Department  of  Teacher-training  during  the  last  biennial  period,  which  work 
has  been  carried  on  in  conformity  with  the  plans  and  ideas  outlined  by  you 
when  I  assumed  charge  of  the  department. 

Although  the  period  covered  by  your  Biennial  Report  ended  June  30,  1910, 
this  report  is  made  to  cover  some  institutes  that  were  held  as  late  as  Sep- 
tember 2.  since  a  new  series  of  institutes  will  begin  next  summer. 

Respectfully,  J.  A.  BIYINS, 

Supervisor  of  Teaclier-training . 


TEACHER-TRAINING. 


The  work  of  teacher-traiuiug  has  been  prosecuted  through  three  chauuels, 
(1)  teachers'  institutes,  (2)  county  teachers'  associations.   (3)  teachers'  read- 


ing circles. 


teachers'  institutes. 


Plan. — A  manual  for  teachers'  institutes  was  issued  in  190D  and  another  in 
1910,  setting  forth  a  definite  plan  of  work  to  be  followed  for  the  two  weeks  of 
the  institute,  and  containing  outlines  of  the  lessons  to  be  presented.  These 
lessons  dealt  largely  with  the  work  of  the  elementary  school,  and  embraced 
such  subjects  as  phonetics,  reading,  language,  number,  home  geography,  agri- 
culture, history,  writing  and  drawing.  Instruction  was  given  in  these  sub- 
jects by  means  of  definite,  practical  lessons  that  should  serve  as  models  for  the 
actual  work  of  the  schools.     Lecturing  was  reduced  to  a  minimum. 

Program. — The  following  daily  program  was  adhered  to  in  the  institutes, 
with  slight  modifications  in  some  instances  which  were  due  to  local  causes: 

8:45.  Calling  the  roll  and  keeping  the  register. 

8:55.  Opening  exercises. 

9:10.  Phonics. 

10:00.  Language  and  Composition. 
10:45.  Writing  and  Drawing. 
11:30.  North  Carolina  History. 

Intermission. 
2:00.  Number. 

2  :45.  Home  Geography  and  Agriculture. 

3  :30.  Reading  and  Seat  Work. 

4:15.  General   (see  Institute  Manual). 

A  portion  of  each  day's  program  was  set  aside  for  the  consideration  of  gen- 
eral topics,  such  as  the  following : 

1.  Preparation  of  definite  plan  of  work  before  the  first  day  of  school. 

2.  What  teachers  should  know  about  the  course  of  study. 

3.  Gradation  and  classification  of  pupils. 

4.  Individual  differences  in  pupils  to  be  considered  in  promotion. 

5.  Promotion  at  close  of  session.     Promotion  cards. 

6.  Written  reviews  or  examinations. 

7.  Keeping  the  register. 

S.  Daily  program  of  school. 

9.  Improvement  of  schoolhouses  and  grounds. 

10.  Round-table  discussions. 

11.  School  history. 

12.  School  exhibits.  ' 

Conductors. — An  experienced  school  man  was  appointed  by  the  State  Depart- 
ment of  Education  to  conduct  each  institute ;  and,  to  assist  him,  a  woman  of 
successful  experience  in  primary  work  was  also  appointed. 


108  Teacher-training. 

Conductors'  Conference.— Much  of  the  success  of  the  institutes  was  due  to 
the  conference  of  conductors  in  Raleigh,  June  7-10,  1010.  At  tliis  conference 
eve.ry  phase  of  the  worli  rehiting  to  the  institutes  was  discussed,  especial 
effort  being  made  to  arrive  at  the  most  helpful  and  practical  plans  for  the 
teachers  of  the  rural  schools.  The  institute  manual  is  an  embodiment  of  the 
plans  formulated  at  this  conference.  The  institute  workers  will  be  called 
every  summer  to  confer  with  the  State  Superintendent  of  Public  Instruction 
and  the  Supervisor  of  Teacher-training. 

Progressiveness  of  Work. — To  prevent  duplication  of  the  work  from  year 
to  year,  the  institutes  have  been  made  progressive  in  character.  During  the 
last  biennial  period  especial  stress  has  been  placed  on  primary  work.  The 
next  series  of  institutes  will  consider  the  work  for  the  more  advanced  grades, 
at  the  same  time  keeping  in  review  the  most  vital  things  pertaining  to  the 
elementary  worlv. 

Attendance. — Thirty  institutes  were  held  in  1009  and  sixty-six  in  1010.  A 
more  equitable  division  is  desirable,  but  under  the  operation  of  the  law,  as 
amended  by  the  General  Assembly  of  1909,  no  county  was  compelled  to  hold 
an  Institute  until  1010;  so  the  30  counties  that  held  institutes  in  1000  did  so 
from  choice.  Printed  post-cards  announcing  the  date  of  the  institute  were 
sent  by  the  county  superintendents  to  the  teachers.  These  cards  contained 
an  extract  from  the  institute  law  relating  to  the  compulsory  attendance  of 
teachers,  also  a  list  of  books  and  materials  needed  by  the  teachers  in  the 
institute.  Furthermore,  a  circular-letter  was  sent  to  the  county  superin- 
tendents from  the  State  Department  of  Education,  calling  their  attention  to 
various  matters  affecting  the  successful  operation  of  the  institutes.  Large 
posters  announcing  educational  rallies  to  be  held  at  one  or  more  points  in  the 
county  were  also  distributed. 

Below  is  a  list  of  counties  in  which  institutes  were  held,  with  the  number 
of  teachers  enrolled  according  to  sex.  As  there  are  6,026  rural  white  teachers 
in  the  State,  it  will  be  seen  from  an  examination  of  the  statistics  given  below 
that  95  per  cent  of  these  teachers  were  enrolled  in  the  institutes.  Perhaps 
some  allowance  should  be  made,  however,  for  city  teachers  and  others  who 
designed  to  become  teachers.  But  the  figures  of  enrollment  represent  bona 
fide  rural  teachers,  in  the  main.

112  Teacher-trahsting. 

Institutes  for  Negroes.- — In  a  majority  of  the  counties  separate  provision 
was  made  for  giving  instruction  to  the  negro  teachers.  In  most  ca.ses  negro 
conductors  were  provided,  but  in  some  instances  the  white  conductors  took 
charge  of  the  negro  institute  also,  especially  where  the  buildings  in  which 
the  sessions  were  held  were  conveniently  located.  A  few  of  the  mountain 
counties  have  so  small  a  number  of  negro  teachers  that  no  attempt  was  made 
to  give  them  an  institute.  Accurate  statistics  will  be  kept  of  the  next  series 
of  negro  institutes. 

COUNTY   TEACHERS'   ASSOCIATIONS. 

Number. — Ninety-one  of  the  ninety-eight  counties  held  teachers'  meetings 
during  the  school  year  of  1909-'10.  Most  of  these  counties  held  monthly  meet- 
ings. A  few,  in  the  mountains  and  on  the  coast,  where  the  conditions  of 
climate  and  travel  were  adverse,  held  only  one  or  two  meetings.  An  increas- 
ing number  of  the  counties  are  holding  township  or  section  meetings  in  addi- 
tion to  the  regular  monthly  gatherings,  and  with  good  results. 

Purpose. — The  main  purpose  of  these  meetings  is  to  continue  the  work  of 
teacher-training  along  the  lines  laid  down  in  the  institutes.  A  carefully  pre- 
pared program  is  usually  made  out,  printed,  and  distributed  among  the 
teachers  at  least  a  month  before  the  meeting,  thus  insuring  defiuiteness  in  the 
work  of  the  association. 

Program. — As  a  rule,  this  program  embraces  three  main  features: 

1.  Problems  of  supervision,  led  by  the  county  superintendent. 

2.  A  model  lesson  in  primary  work,  presented  by  some  teacher. 

3.  Some  phase  of  the  reading  circle  course,  led  by  the  county  superintendent 
or  a  teacher. 

Attendance. — The  attendance  of  teachers  at  these  meetings  is  usually  grati- 
fying. The  sentiment  is  growing  among  the  teachers  that  if  they  would  meas- 
ure up  to  the  increasing  demands  made  of  them  they  must  lay  hold  of  every 
opportunity  afforded  them  for  professional  improvement.  However,  the  coun- 
ties that  report  the  best  attendance  are  those  that  pay  the  teachers  a  small 
amount  to  cover  their  traveling  expenses. 

Lectures. — A  fault  that  is  too  common  in  many  of  the  county  associations 
is  the  having  of  one  or  more  lectures  at  each  meeting.  It  is  comparatively 
easier  to  secure  a  lecturer  who  will  consume  the  time  of  the  meeting  than  it 
is  to  plan  and  carry  out  a  program  of  definite  and  systematic  work.  Too 
much  lecturing  would  kill  the  spirit  of  the  County  Teachers'  Association,  as  it 
formerly  came  near  killing  the  Teachers'  Institute.  A  model  lesson  in  read- 
ing, drawing,  or  number,  or  a  round-table  discussion  based  on  a  chapter  of 
McMurry's  Hoiv  to  Stiidi/,  would  be  productive  of  far  more  good  to  the  teacher 
than  the  average  lecture. 

THE    READING   CIRCLE. 

Purpose. — The  North  Carolina  Teachers'  Reading  Circle  was  established  in 
the  summer  of  1909.  Its  design  is  to  furnish  from  year  to  year  a  carefully 
selected  course  of  reading  adapted  to  the  professional  needs  of  teachers. 
Such  a  course  would  be  admirable  even  for  the  trained  teacher,  but  the 
necessity  for  it  becomes  imperative  in  view  of  the  fact  that  two-thirds  of  our 
rural  teachers  are  without  any  professional  training  whatever. 

The  Course. — The  books  of  the  course  are  selected  by  the  Supervisor  of 
Teacher-training,    subject    to   the    approval    of   the    State    Superintendent    of 


Teachek-tkaining.  113 

Public  Instruction.  Ttie  selection  is  made  in  the  spring,  usually  by  the  first  of 
April.  A  pamphlet  describing  the  year's  reading  and  containing  general 
directions  to  teachers  and  county  superintendents  regarding  the  organization 
of  reading  circles,  purchase  of  bboks,  certificates  of  membership,  etc.,  is  then 
issued  and  distributed. 

The  course  for  1909  was  as  follows : 

Hamilton's  The  Recitation. 
Tennyson's  Idyls  of  the  King. 
North  Carolina  Education. 

The  course  for  1910  embraces  the  following : 

Ritchie's  Primer  of  Sanitation. 

Jean  Mitchell's  School. 

Dinsmore's  Teaching  a  District  School. 

McMurry's  Hotv  to  Study. 

Noi'th  Carolina  Education. 

In  the  course  for  1910,  the  Primer  of  Sanitation  is  required,  and  any  two 
others  of  the  list  are  elective. 

Diplomas. — To  those  teachers  that  have  successfully  completed  four  years 
of  reading  and  have  certificates  to  that  effect,  a  diploma  will  be  issued  by  the 
State  Department  of  Public  Instruction. 

Certificate  of  Enrollment. — A  teacher  joining  the  veading  circle  must  sign 
a  certificate  like  the  following  and  deposit  it  with  the  county  superintendent : 

CERTIFICATE  OF  ENROLLMENT. 

To  THE  County  Superintendent: 

You  are  hereby  authorised  to  enroll  my  name  as  a  member  of  the 

NORTH  CAROLINA  TEACHERS'  READING  CIRCLE 

for County,  North  Carolina,  and  I  hereby 

agree  to  procure  and  read  faithfully  all  the  books  prescribed  in-the  course  for 
the  year  1909-1910.

Date P.  0. 


Certificate  of  Credit. — This  certificate  is  given  when  a  teacher  has  finished 
the  reading  course  for  the  current  year  and  has  successfully  passed  the  exami- 
nation on  "Theory  and  Practice,"  which  is  based  from  year  to  year  on  the 
reading  course.  The  examinations  on  "Theory  and  Practice"  are  a  part  of  the 
regular  uniform  county  examinations  held  in  .July  and  October.  The  certifi- 
cate of  credit  for  1909-'10  was  as  follows :

Membership. — While  membership  iu  the  reading  circle  is  technically  op- 
tional, it  is  virtually  compulsory  to  those  teachers  that  desire  to  have  any 
professional  standing.  To  encourage  teachers  to  take  the  course  the  county 
superintendents  have  been  advised  to  renew/ free  of  cost,  the  first-grade  cer- 
tificates of  all  who  are  members  of  the  reading  circle  and  County  Teachers' 
Association,  and  to  give  such  teachers  the  preference,  other  things  being  equal, 
in  positions  and  salaries.  A  special  blank  post-card  was  prepared,  on  which 
the  county  superintendent  reported  to  the  Supervisor  of  Teacher-training  every 
month  the  essential  things  done  in  his  county  in  the  way  of  professional 
training  of  teachers.  From  these  reports  it  is  estimated  that  about  60  per 
cent  of  the  teachers  were  enrolled  as  members  of  the  North  Carolina  Teachers' 
Reading  Circle.  The  enrollment  during  the  liext  biennial  period  promises  to 
become  much  larger. 

Educational  Bulletins. — A  very  important  feature  of  the  work  of  teacher- 
training  is  the  preparation  and  distribution,  free  of  cost  to  the  teacher,  of  a 
series  of  helpful  educational  bulletins  on  various  topics.  Teachers  are  urged 
to  read  these  bulletins  and  to  keep  them  on  their  desks  for  ready  reference. 
Five  of  these  bulletins  form  a  part  of  the  reading  circle  course :  How  to 
Teach  Reading,  Course  of  Study,  Institute  Manual,  Health  Talks,  and  Opening 
Exercises. 

Success. — The  county  superintendents  are  responding  heartily,  as  a  rule,  to 
all  plans  and  suggestions  respecting  the  operations  of  the  reading  circle,  and 
are  meeting  with  marked  success  in  their  respective  counties  in  the  important 
work  of  stimulating  greater  professional  zeal  and  knowledge  in  their  teachers. 

PERSONAL  VISITATION   BY  THE  SUPERVISOR. 

The  Supervisor  of  Teacher-training  has  personally  visited  sixty-five  counties, 
either  during  the  institute  or  some  meeting  of  the  County  Teachers'  Associa- 
tion. During  the  school  term  he  is  absent  from  his  desk  the  latter  part  of 
almost  every  week  attending  county  teachers'  associations,  where  he  presents 
some  phase  of  the  work  of  teacher-training. 


REPORT  OF  STATE  SUPERVISOR  OF  RURAL  ELEMENTARY 

SCHOOLS. 


Raleigh,  N.  C,  Jamuary  6,  1911. 
Hon.  J.  Y.  Joyner, 

State  Superintendent  of  Public  Instruction, 
Raleigh,  N.  C. 

My  dear  Sir  : — I  herewith  submit  my  report  as  State  Supervisor  of  Rural 
Elementary  Schools. 

The  most  of  my  time  has  been  spent  in  the  field  making  a  close  study  at 
first  hand  of  the  existing  needs  and  conditions  of  the  rural  schools  of  the  State, 
in  order  to  get  a  more  intelligent  and  accurate  notion  of  the  nature  of  the 
work  most  needed  to  increase  the  value  of  the  teaching  and  the  supervision  of 
these  schools. 

With  this  purpose  in  mind,  I  have  spent  my  time  in  those  counties  that 
seemed  to  be  most  representative  from  the  standpoint  of  size,  educational 
needs,  and  conditions.  These  counties  selected  for  special  study  and  investiga- 
tion were  taken  from  the  Mountain  region,  the  Tidewater  section,  and  the 
Piedmont  region.  I  have  studied  the  needs  and  conditions  of  the  rural  schools 
in  counties  in  which  the  public  school  sentiment  was  weak  and  indifferent,  with 
barely  a  four-months  school  term,  without  a  single  local-tax  district  or  a  single 
public  high  school,  with  a  number  of  small  one-teacher  schools  taught  in  build- 
ings unattractive  both  inside  and  out,  uncomfortable  and  meagerly  equipped, 
with  teachers  without  professional  knowledge,  teaching  spirit,  or  teaching 
ability,  and  having  from  twenty-five  to  thirty  daily  recitations,  with  pupils 
improperly  graded  and  classified  and  lacking  a  vital  interest  in  their  school 
work,  with  the  superintendent  employed  for  only  a  part  of  his  time  and  at  a 
meager  compensation,  and,  therefore,  making  his  supervision  of  these  schools 
totally  inadequate  and  almost  valueless.  I  have  studied  the  situation  in  coun- 
ties in  which  the  public  school  sentiment  is  healthy  and  strong,  with  the  length 
of  school  term  varying  from  six  to  eight  mouths,  with  a  large  number  of  con- 
solidated schools,  taught  in  attractive,  comfortable,  well-equipped  buildings, 
with  quite  a  large  number  of  local-tax  districts  and  efficient  high-school  advan- 
tages, with  teachers  enthusiastic  and  progressive,  having  a  fair  degree  of  pro- 
fessional knowledge  and  good  teaching  ability,  with  the  pupils, to  some  extent 
properly  graded  and  classified,  and  with  a  live  superintendent  employed  for  his 
full  time  at  a  living  salarj^  Between  these  types  of  communities,  which  seem 
to  present  such  a  striking  contrast,  I  have  spent  a  good  portion  of  my  time  in 
those  counties  that  may  be  considered  as  representing  the  average  county  in 
its  educational  needs  and  conditions. 

In  connection  with  my  study  and  investigation  of  the  needs  and  conditions 
in  these  representative  counties,  my  work  has  been  directed  along  two  broad 
but  well-defined  lines,  viz.,  (1)  with  the  county  superintendents  collectively  and 
individually,  and  (2)  with  the  teachers  collectively  and  individually. 

WORK  WITH  THE  COUNTY  SUPERINTENDENTS  AS  A  WHOLE. 

At  the  annual  meetings,  the  county  superintendents  and  the  Supervisor  of 
Rural  Schools  have  been  students  together,  studying  to  get  a  clearer  vision  of 


116  KuRAL  Elementary  Schools, 

the  field  of  professional  supervision,  trying  to  get  a  deeper  insight  into  its 
scope  and  significance,  trying  to  pick  out  and  to  concentrate  upon  the  larger 
and  more  vital  problems  common  to  all  the  county  superintendents  throughout 
the  State. 

During  these  meetings,  we  have  concentrated  upon  the  one  large  problem  of 
county  school  organization,  have  tried  to  understand  more  fully  the  signifi- 
cance of  this  problem  in  all  its  bearings,  have  endeavored  to  find  out  how  forty, 
fifty,  eighty,  or  even  more  separate,  distinct,  and  independent  tvhite  schools  of 
a  county  may  successfully  be  unified  and  brought  into  an  organic  union  or  sys- 
tem of  schools,  with  more  of  unanimity  among  the  teachers  as  to  the  most 
efiicient  method  of  teaching  the  various  subjects  in  the  course  of  study,  with 
more  of  unanimity  among  them  as  to  the  quantity  and  quality  of  work  that 
should  be  done  in  each  of  the  grades  throughout  the  schools  of  the  county,  and 
with  a  more  general  and  active  recognition  by  all  the  teachers  of  what  consti- 
tutes standards  of  real  teaching  efficiency. 

But  not  only  have  we  been  concentrating  upon  the  organization  of  these 
separate  and  independent  schools  with  reference  to  each  other  in  their  work 
and  aims  and  with  reference  to  a  completely  unified  system  of  county  schools, 
but  we  have  also  emphasized  the  organization  of  these  different  individual 
schools  with  reference  to  the  growth  of  the  child  through  a  more  vital  relation 
to  the  life  of  the  community. 

WORK  WITH  THE  COUNTY   SUPEEINTENDENTS  IN  GKOUPS  OE  DISTRICTS. 

The  county  superintendents  of  the  State  have  been  divided  into  five  groups  or 
district  associations.  Each  district  embraces  from  seventeen  to  twenty-one 
counties,  whose  superintendents  meet  once  during  the  school  term.  It  is  the 
purpose  of  these  meetings  to  bring  the  county  superintendents  together  in 
these  small  groups  to  discuss  and  to  study  the  most  important  problems  con- 
fronting them  in  the  supervision  and  administration  of  their  schools.  Each 
superintendent  is  expected  to  come  to  these  meetings  prepared  to  discuss  in  a 
definite  way  the  problem  he  is  stressing  most  in  his  work,  giving  his  method  of 
solution  and  the  actual  results  he  is  obtaining.  In  this  way  each  superintend- 
ent present  has  the  henefit  of  the  experience  and  suggestions  of  all  the  other 
superintendents  to  aid  him  in  the  working  out  of  his  particular  problem ;  and 
in  this  way  each  superintendent  is  enabled  to  return  to  his  schools  with  well- 
thought-out  plans  and  valid  suggestions  that  will  enable  him  to  render  a  more 
valuable  service  in  the  supervision  of  his  schools. 

In  these  conferences,  we  have  been  concentrating  upon  and  studying  the  fol- 
lowing practical  and  important  problems,  viz.:  (1)  The  elimination  of  tardi- 
ness; (2)  Increasing  the  school  enrollment  and  daily  attendance;  (3)  The 
vital  things  the  county  superintendent  should  look  for  and  the  essential  things 
he  can  and  should  do  in  his  school  visitation;  (4)  The  importance  of  making, 
and  keeping  a  written  record  of  his  observations  made  on  the  teacher's  work, 
the  physical  conditions  of  the  school  and  the  school-yard  environment,  and  the 
definite  use  he  should  make  of  these  written  and  accurate  records  of  his 
observations;  (5)  What  the  superintendent  can  and  sRould  do  in  the  proper 
gradation  and  classification  of  the  pupils  in  the  schools  visited;  (6)  What 
important  things  the  superintendents  should  have  his.  teachers  do  during  the 
week  before  their  respective  schools  open,  and  (9)  Definite  plans  for  unifying

the  work  of  the  elementary  schools  through  the  graduation  of  the  pupils  from 
them  at  the  close  of  the  session.  These  are  some  of  the  most  important  and 
immediate  problems  now  demanding  the  serious  study  of  the  county  superin- 
tendents in  the  supervision  of  their  schools. 

In  addition  to  this  conference  for  the  study  and  the  working  out  of  some  of 
these  live  problems,  which  has  consumed  an  appreciable  portion  of  time  at  our 
best  meetings,  we  have  conducted  a  practical  study  in  the  supervision  of  teach- 
ing as  demonstrated  in  some  of  the  best  city  schools  of  the  State.  It  has  been 
our  plan  to  secure  one  of  the  most  efficient  teachers  in  the  city  schools  located 
in  the  city  in  which  the  District  Association  meeting  is  held  to  give  a  model 
lesson  on  reading  for  the  benefit  of  the  superintendents.  Previous  to  our  visi- 
tation to  this  room  in  which  the  model  lesson  is  to  be  taught,  a  printed  folder 
containing  a  suggested  plan  for  tlie  observation  of  teaching  has  been  placed  in 
the  hands  of  the  superintendents  as  an  aid  to  their  accurate  observation  of  the 
work.  The  superintendents  were  taken  to  this  room,  and  full  and  accurate 
notes  were  requested  to  be  kept  of  the  conduct  of  this  lesson  from  its  beginning 
to  its  close.  Following  this  intensive  study  in  practical  supervision,  a  confer- 
ence was  held,  based  upon  the  observations  made  by  the  superintendents.  At 
this  conference,  each  superintendent  was  called  upon  to  read  the  observations 
he  had  made,  to  point  out  all  the  valuable  points  he  observed  in  the  presenta- 
tion of  the  lesson,  and  to  indicate  the  valuable  points  in  the  teacher's  method 
that  his  own  teachers  can  and  should  apply  in"  the  conduct  of  their  recitations. 
It  is  needless  to  say  that  this  kind  of  work  makes  supervision  practical,  stimu- 
lating, and  valuable  to  the  superintendents ;  that  it  will  tend  to  establish  in 
their  minds  a  more  definite  standard  of  teaching  efficiency  and  enable  them  to 
acquire  a  more  effective  method  in  the  supervision  of  their  respective  schools. 

If  these  studying  and  working  conferences  can  be  continued  as  now  begun, 
if  they  shall  be  thoughtfully  planned  with  reference  to  the  solution  of  these 
practical  problems,  and  if  these  programs  of  work  can  be  placed  in  the  hands 
of  each  superintendent  two  or  three  weeks  prior  to  the  meeting,  then  each 
superintendent  will  come  to  the  meeting  carefully  prepared  to  make  a  definite 
contribution  to  the  solution  of  some  particular  problem  that  seems  to  him 
most  vital  and  that  he  is  specially  emphasizing  in  his  work,  and  each  super- 
intendent will  then  come  prepared  to  appropriate  from  the  experience  and 
well-thought-out  plans  of  all  the  others  whatever  shall  seem  to  him  the  most 
valuable  in  aiding  him  to  solve  his  particular  problem.  If  these  provisions 
shall  be  made — and  I  am  sure  that  they  will  be — then  these  conferences  will 
prove  an  invaluable  means  for  improving  the  efficiency  and  the  supervision  of 
the  rural  schools.  I  am  encouraged  to  believe  that  through  the  agency  of  such 
meetings  the  time  is  not  far  ofC  when  there  will  be  a  number  of  progressive 
county  superintendents  in  each  of  the  five  districts  of  the  State,  with  clearer 
visions  of  their  respective  fields,  who  will  decide  with  a  greater  degree  of 
accuracy  and  intelligence  upon  the  problems  that  are  of  the  most  worth  and 
that  are  the  most  urgent,  and  that  they  will  be  able  to  work  on  them  with 
that  method  and  persistency  of  effort  that  their  schools  will  be  revitalized, 
x-econstructed,  and  redirected. 

Already  the  superintendent  of  Wayne  County  has  gone  to  work  in  a  definite 
way  upon  a  practical  and  important  problem,  the  construction  of  a  county 
plan  for  the  graduation  of  the  pupils  of  the  county  from  the  elementary 
schools.     This  plan,  if  successfully  carried  out,  as  I  believe  it  will  be,  will 


118  Rural  Elementary  Schools. 

mean  much  in  stimulating  the  public  school  sentiment  of  that  county  and 
improving  the  efficiency  of  the  schools,  and  will  prove  a  helpful  contribution 
to  the  other  superintendents  of  the  State  now^  working  on  the  same  problem. 
I  expect  to  see  this  number  of  constructive  county  superintendents  begin  to 
increase  within  the  next  year. 

INDIVIDUAL    WORK    WITH    THE   COUNTY    SUPERINTENDENTS. 

It  has  been  my  purpose  here  to  study  with  the  individual  superintendents, 
in  the  representative  counties  selected,  the  needs  and  conditions  of  the  typical 
individual  schools,  including  the  most  efficient,  the  average,  and  the  most  in- 
efficient. Upon  our  visitation  to  these  schools,  and  after  we  have  had  time  to 
make  a  careful  study  of  their  needs  and  conditions,  the  physical  condition  of 
the  schoolroom,  its  heating,  lighting,  ventilation,  its  appearance,  its  comfort 
and  equipment,  the  appearance  of  the  school  yard,  its  provisions  for  sanitation, 
and  after  having  had  the  time  to  study  the  work  of  the  teacher,  her  gradation 
and  classification  of  pupils,  her  daily  program,  her  school  management  and 
conduct  of  the  recitation,  we  have  then  attempted  improvements  through  pri- 
vate conference  with  the  superintendent,  and  occasionally,  with  the  consent 
of  the  teacher,  the  recess  period  has  been  prolonged,  in  order  that  she,  the 
county  superintendent,  and  the  supervisor  might  have  sufficient  time  to  discuss 
definite  plans  for  improving  the  conditions  of  the  school  and  the  work  of  the 
teacher.  This  visitation  of  the  individual  schools  with  the  county  superin- 
tendent, spending  a  continuous  week  in  private  conference  with  him,  discuss- 
ing their  definite  needs  and  conditions  and  constructing  well-thought-out  plans 
for  their  revision  and  improvement,  I  am  persuaded  to  believe  has  always 
resulted  in  stimulating  and  strengthening  him  in  his  work. 

But  when  we  consider  the  fact  that  in  fifteen  counties,  which  may  be  consid- 
ered as  representative  of  the  State,  the  average  number  of  separate  white 
schools  for  each  superintendent  is  seventy-two,  when  we  consider  the  fact 
that  the  average  number  of  different  schools  visited  during  the  day  by  each 
superintendent  is  only  two,  and  wlien  we  consider  the  further  fact  that  the 
average  length  of  the  rural  school  term  throughout  the  entire  State,  including 
the  local  and  non-local-tax  districts,  is  less  than  ninety-three  days,  we  are 
brought  face  to  face  with  the  inevitable  fact  that  no  county  superintendent, 
however  progressive  and  zealous  he  may  be,  however  much  time  he  may 
spend  in  supervision,  can  ever,  by  the  very  nature  of  the  situation,  give  to 
his  schools  that  efficiency  of  supervision  so  imperative  to  the  needs  and  de- 
mands of  the  country  children  of  this  State.  It  is  because  of  this  fact  and 
this  situation  that  this  State  has  reason  to  welcome  the  beginning  of  a  move- 
ment started  through  the  agency  and  generosity  of  the  Peabody  Board  for  pro- 
viding a  competent  woman  to  assist  one  of  our  county  superintendents  and 
whose  entire'  time  is  to  be  given  to  the  supervision  of  the  schools  of  that 
county.  If  the  State  shall  recognize  the  great  possibilities  involved  in  this 
movement  and  shall  encourage,  extend,  and  enlarge  it  by  adequate  provisions 
until  every  county  in  the  State  shall  have  a  competent  supervisor  of  rural 
schools,  to  aid  the  county  superintendent,  then,  and  not  until  then,  will  the 
problem  of  practical  and  efficient  rural  school  supervision  be  effectively 
solved.

WOEIC  WITH   THE   TEACHERS. 

Frequently  after  having  spent  some  time  in  a  county,  studying  the  work 
and  needs  of  the  individual  schools,  we  have  met  with  the  entix'e  teaching 
force  of  the  county.  In  these  meetings  we  have  attempted  to  hold  before  the 
teachers  the  standards  that  should  prevail  in  their  respective  school  environ- 
ments and  the  standards  that  should  guide  them  in  the  teaching  and  man- 
agement of  their  schools.  Often,  by  means  of  some  particular  lesson  they  had 
taught,  we  have  endeavored  to  illustrate  the  difference  between  simply  hearing 
words  called  and  the  efficient  teaching  of  a  lesson. 

CONSOLIDATION  OF  SCHOOLS   AND  THE  PUBLIC   TBANSPOKTATION  OF  PUPILS. 

In  addition  to  the  time  spent  in  the  field  in  studying  the  needs  and  condi- 
tions of  the  schools  in  the  respective  counties  of  the  State,  I  have  spent  a  con- 
siderable portion  of  the  time  during  the  last  six  months  in  studying  the 
problem  of  consolidating  the  small  one-teacher  schools,  whenever  and  wherever 
practicable,  and  the  public  transportation  of  pupils  to  one  large  central  school. 
This  investigation  has  included  one  month  of  special  study  at  first  hand  of  all 
the  representative  consolidated  schools  in  which  public  transportation  is 
employed  in  the  State  of  Virginia.  It  has  included,  a  study  of  the  best  Ameri- 
can experience  in  dealing  with  this  problem  through  questionaries  sent  to  all 
the  States  of  the  Union  that  seem  to  be  solving  this  question  most  successfully, 
through  bulletins  issued  from  the  State  Departments  of  Education  of  the  sev- 
eral States,  through  periodicals  and  magazine  articles;  and  this  investigation 
has  also  included  an  extended  and  intensive  study  of  the  cost  and  efiiciency 
of  the  small,  white,  one-teacher  schools  of  this  State.  The  final  purpose  of 
this  investigation  is  to  establish  a  rational  basis  on  which  to  form  a  more 
intelligent  opinion  as  to  whether  the  continued  erection,  maintenance,  and 
encouragement  of  these  small  one-teacher  schools  can  be  justified  as  the  most 
practical  and  final  policy  for  the  State  in  the  development  of  its  rural  schools, 
or  whether  the  erection,  maintenance,  and  encouragement  of  these  small  one- 
teacher  schools  are  to  be  justified  only  as  exceptions  in  a  more  constructive 
policy  in  the  establishment  of  rural  schools.  It  is  my  hope  to  embody  the 
results  of  our  investigations  of  this  problem  in  bulletin  form  within  the  next 
few  weeks. 

All  my  work  has  been  done  in  accordance  with  definite  plans  approved  by 
the  State  Superintendent  of  Public  Instruction,  and  in  cooperation  with  and 
as  an  organic  part  of  the  work  of  the  State  Department  of  Public  Instruction. 

Very  truly  yours,  L.  C.  Bkogden, 

State  Supervisor  of  Rural  Elementary  Schools. 


REPORT  OF  AGENT  IN  AGRICULTURAL  EXTENSION. 


Raleigh,  N.  C,  December  13,  1910. 
Hon.  J.  Y.  Joynek, 

State  Superintendent  of  Piiblic  Instruction, 
Raleigh,  N.  C. 

My  dear  Sib  : — I  beg  to  give  below  a  brief  accouut  of  my  worli  in  Agricul- 
tural Exteusiou.  It  lias  not  been  possible  to  confine  tbe  limits  of  the  report 
to  the  school  year,  because  definite  figures  could  not  be  supplied  until  after 
the  corn  harvest. 

During  the  last  year  1,57.5  boys  were  enrolled  in  our  corn  club.  Eighty 
counties  were  represented,  and  60  fully  organized.  Cleveland  County  has  had 
the  largest  membership  of  any,  the  enrollment  in  that  county  alone  being  148 
boys,  with  Randolph  County  a  close  second  with  142  boys  enrolled.  The  enroll- 
ment has  been  smaller  in  the  counties  in  the  Mountain  section  of  the  State 
than  in  those  of  the  Piedmont  and  Eastern  sections. 

One  hundred  and  two  boys  made  over  75  bushels  of  corn  per  acre,  and  there- 
by won  the  Governor's  certificate.  One  boy  made  146  bushels  at  a  cost  of 
$40.20  and  won  the  free  trip  to  Washington,  D.  C,  where  he  was  presented 
with  a  certificate  from  the  United  States  Department  of  Agriculture. 

Wherever  there  has  been  an  active  corn  club  the  people  have  become  very 
much  interested.  County  superintendents  have  cooperated  heartily  in  most  of 
the  counties,  and  deserve  credit  for  the  success  of  the  work.  In  Stanly 
County  the  people  were  so  much  interested  that  they  employed  a  man  to 
visit  each  one  of  the  contestants  to  give  the  boys  advice  regarding  the  growing 
of  the  crop.  The  boys  have  been  extremely  eager  to  get  information  that 
would  help  to  improve  their  methods,  and  during  the  growing  season  the 
number  of  inquiries  that  came  to  me  varied,  usually,  from  five  to  twenty  letters 
per  day. 

The  spirit  of  the  boys  is  very  gratifying,  and  is  illustrated  by  letters  from 
a  number  of  them,  recently  received,  stating  that  although  they  had  failed  this 
year,  due  to  various  causes,  they  were  not  discouraged,  and  expected  to  get 
into  the  contest  again  next  year,  with  apparently  absolute  confidence  that  they 
would  make  larger  yields  than  before. 

In  making  this  report,  I  deem  it  advisable  to  give  the  following  information 
to  you,  which  is  a  source  of  great  encouragement  to  me  in  the  work  I  have 
undertaken : 

The  State  Fair  Association  offered  three  prizes,  of  $100,  $50,  and  $25,  to  the 
boys  of  the  State  who  would  exhibit  the  best  twenty  separate  ears  of  corn  and 
the  best  six  stalks  of  corn  with  ears  attached.  More  than  ninety  boys  sent  in 
corn  for  the  exhibition.  It  seemed  to  be  the  general  opinion,  considering 
quality  and  everything  connected  with  the  corn  exhibition,  that  this  exhibit 
from  the  boys  was  the  best  ever  shown  in  the  State. 

The  first  prize  was  won  by  J.  C.  Lewis.  Ready  Branch ;  the  second  by  Vester 
Blalock,  Norwood,  Route  2,  and  the  third  by  Raymond  Hill.  Lexington,  Route  4. 
This  boy  also  exhibited  ten  ears  of  prolific  corn  at  the  South  Atlantic  Corn 
Exposition,  at  Columbia,  S.  C,  and  was  awarded  $175  in  prizes.  The  exhibit 
was  the  grand  champion  sweepstakes  ten  ears  of  prolific  corn. 


122  Agricultural  Extension. 

In  addition  to  the  prizes  mentioned  above,  there  was  a  prize  offered  for  the 
best  ten  ears  of  corn,  and  also  a  prize  for  the  best  single  ear  of  corn,  these 
contests  being  open  to  both  men  and  boys.  There  were  a  great  many  entries 
for  each  prize,  and  I  am  especially  gratified  to  report  that  the  prize  for  each 
exhibit  was  won  by  a  boy.  The  prize  for  the  best  ten  ears  was  won  by  Shirley 
Schoolfield,  Greensboro,  Eonte  3,  and  the  best  single  ear  was  grown  and  ex- 
hibited by  Exum  Goodwin,  Apex,  Route  3. 

The  single  prize  ear  of  corn  was  later  exhibited  at  the  South  Atlantic  Corn 
Exposition,  at  Columbia,  S.  C,  and  there  won  the  award  of  a  silver  cup,  valued 
at  $100,  and  was  the  grand  champion  sweepstakes  ear  of  the  Exposition. 

All  of  the  work  in  connection  with  the  boys'  corn  clubs  has  been  carried  on 
through  the  cooperation  of  the  United  States  Department  of  Agriculture,  the 
State  Department  of  Agriculture,  the  State  Department  of  Public  Instruction, 
and  the  Agricultural  and  Mechanical  College,  and  uuder  the  direction  of  these 
departments.  Very  truly  yours, 

I.  O.   SCHAtIB, 

Agent,  Agricultural  Extension.

REPORT  OF  PRINCIPAL  OF  SLATER  SCHOOL 


To  the  President  and  Members  of  the  Board  of  Trustees. 

Gentlemen  : — Permit  me  to  make  this  brief  statement  of  tlie  work  of  the 
Slater  State  Normal  and  Industrial  School  during  the  half-dozen  years  of  my 
incumbency  as  principal. 

These  years  have  been  remarkable  in  many  respects — years  filled  with  pur- 
poses carried  out  and  hopes  delayed,  yet  years  of  progress  along  many  lines. 

Our  recent  commencement  was  marked  by  imusual  interest  and  enthusiasm 
on  the  part  of  both  visitors  and  home  folks.  At  no  time  during  all  these 
years  have  our  students  shown  so  many  evidences  of  loyalty  and  devotion, 
such  eagerness  and  determination  to  succeed  as  they  showed  this  past  school 
term.  These  commencement  exercises  also  furnished  evidences  of  growth  and 
development  in  the  matter  of  appreciation  on  the  part  of  the  colored  people 
of  this  eommimity.  In  beginning  his  address,  our  commencement  orator,  the 
Rev.  Howard  Roudthaler,  took  occasion  to  congratulate  the  school  upon  the 
splendid  audience  of  the  best  citizens  of  color  who  crowded  our  assembly  hall, 
with  here  and  there  a  representative  of  the  white  race,  although  the  weather 
was  inclement,  with  frequent  falling  showers.  Another  speaker,  in  remarliing 
on  the  same,  said  he  was  best  able  to  note  this  remarkable  growth  because  he 
had  been  unable  to  be  present  at  these  annual  commencements  for  the  past 
five  or  six  years. 

Such  testimonials  are  certainly  encoviraging,  to  say  the  least ;  and  yet,  as 
I  look  back  over  the  work  of  the  past  six  years,  I  am  free  to  confess  that  mis- 
takes have  been  made,  though  not  intentional ;  progress,  too,  has  been  made, 
possibly  not  so  much  as  might  have  been  made  under  different  conditions,  yet 
results  show  real  and  substantial  progress  along  all  lines  that  tend  to  make 
a  strong  and  influential  school. 

Good  work  has  also  been  done  by  my  colaborers,  the  teachers.  In  one  or 
two  instances  our  teachers  may  not  have  been  so  well  prepared  as  the  teach- 
ers of  some  of  the  schools  of  the  State  doing  similar  worlv,  yet  it  would  be 
hard  to  find  a  more  cheerful,  faithful,  harmonious  set  of  teachers  in  any 
school,  whatever  the  grade  of  work  carried  on.  Whatever  progress  has  been 
made  in  the  school  is  largely  due  to  this  fact.  For  it  is  noteworthy  that  dur- 
ing tliese  years,  as  the  whole  number  of  students  increased,  the  number  of 
teachers  has  varied  but  little  in  a  decade.  In  1898  there  were  191  pupils  with 
12  teachei's  and  officers,  while  a  dozen  years  later  the  register  shows  a  total 
enrollment  of  443  pupils  with  11  teachers  and  officers.  The  enrollment  in  the 
Normal  Department,  although  the  course  has  been  raised,  is  nearly  three 
times  as  large  as  it  was  six  years  ago. 

There  has  been  great  improvement  in  the  matter  of  attendance,  both  daily 
and  the  number  of  days  in  attendance.  Our  students  are  fast  learning  that 
while  school  is  going,  attendance  upon  school  is  their  business. 

Although  this  marked  growtli  has  been  gratifying  to  all  concerned,  it  is 
now  beginning  to  present  grave  problems :  Our  classes  are  getting  too  large 
for  our  classrooms,  and  with  the  limited  force  of  teachers  it  has  been  impos- 
sible to  make  divisions  of  a  class.  This  difficulty  is  augmented  when  we  con- 
sider the  general  question  of  room.     Often  our  dormitory  for  girls  is  filled 


128  State  Xokmal  Schools. 

before  the  end  of  the  first  mouth.  It  is  no  unusual  thing  to  have  a  girl  in 
with  each  of  the  lady  teachers  and  the  sitting-room  improvised"  into  a  bed- 
room. And  5^et,  a  dormitory  is  not  our  most  pressing  need.  The  question  of 
securing  more  land  lying  adjacent  to  the  school  grounds  before  such  lands  can 
only  be  secured  at  exorbitant  prices,  to  me,  seems  to  be  the  thing  of  vital  im- 
portance. Already  some  conditions  exist  that  in  no  small  measure  are  likely 
to  jeopardize  the  health  of  the  student  body.  Then,  too.  the  question  of  a 
safer  lighting  system  and  heating  arrangement,  after  careful  consideration, 
are  to  me  far  more  pressing  than  a  dormitory. 

OUR    TEBRITORY. 

Our  students,  for  the  most  part,  come  from  those  counties  allotted  as  the 
special  territory  of  this  particular  one  of  the  State  Colored  Normal  Schools. 
With  few  exceptions,  they  are  all  North  Carolinians,  either  present  residents 
or  the  sons  and  daughters  of  former  residents,  who  still  prefer  to  have  their 
children  trained  in  their  home  schools  by  men  and  women  with  whom  they 
are  more  or  less  acquainted.  The  entire  school,  close  on  to  500  students,  rep- 
resents only  27  coimties  of  North  Carolina,  one  or  two  covmties  of  Virginia, 
with  single  representatives  from  Maryland,  Tennessee,  South  Carolina,  Geor- 
gia, Illinois,  and  West  Virginia. 

CLASSROOM    WORK. 

Under  the  present  system  of  supervision,  the  work  of  the  classroom  has  im- 
proved steadily.  For  several  years  past  our  teachers  have  met  regularly  one 
afternoon  in  each  week  for  professional  work  and  mutual  help  in  handling 
the  problems  of  the  classroom.  All  have  been  helped  to  a  better  understanding 
of  their  particular  subjects  and  to  a  more  general  knowledge  of  the  entire  list 
of  subjects  taught  in  the  course.  The  result  is,  our  teachers  are  more  con- 
cerned about  the  quality  of  the  work  done  than  the  quantity  gone  over. 
Results  ai'e  sought.  The  students,  too,  have  learned  to  do  more  and  better 
study  in  the  preparation  of  lessons.  Our  students  always  pass  the  Superin- 
tendent's test  examinations.  The  highest  average  made  by  a  single  student 
in  any  of  these  was  made  by  a  Slater  boy  two  years  ago — 97.1  G  per  cent. 

THE    COURSE    OF    STUDY. 

A  noteworthy  fact  is  the  rapid  decrease  in  the  average  age  of  our  Normal 
pupils ;  many  of  them  graduate  from  the  State  course  of  study  before  they 
attain  to  legal  age  to  teach  in  the  State.  They  are  thus  forced  to  remain  at 
home  unemployed  or  else  go  off  to  other  schools  to  pursue  their  studies.  Thus 
it  happens  that  after  doing  the  A'ery  best  part  of  their  preparation  for  work, 
we  lose  them  in  the  end.  The  late  Captain  Duckett  was  quick  to  realize  this 
and  apply  a  partial  remedy  in  a  higher  Normal  Course,  followed  by  a  course 
of  two  years  for  post-graduate  work  on  the  part  of  those  who  could  afford  to 
put  in  more  time.  This  inspired  new  hope,  new  interest,  and  more  enthusi- 
asm on  the  part  of  teachers  and  students  alike. 

THE    PRACTICE    SCHOOL. 

Owing  to  the  crowded  condition  in  this  department  of  the  school,  we  have 
not  been  able  to  accomplish  as  much  as  we  should  like  to  accomplish  with  our 
practice  and  observation  classes.     Because  of  conditions  previously  mentioned 


State  ISTormal  Schools.  129 

in  my  luoutbly  statement,  the  almost  impassable  road  to  be  traveled  by  Happy 
and  Salem  children,  the  enrollment  in  this  school  has  not  been  so  large  during 
the  past  two  years  as  formerly ;  therefore  we  have  been  able  to  do  some  very 
effective  work  with  the  normal  classes.  It  may  be  a  little  out  of  place  to 
observe,  in  passing,  that  this  Practice  School,  in  a  large  measure  has  been, 
and  is,  the  backbone  of  the  Normal  School.  Our  best  pupils,  without  excep- 
tion, have  been  those  who  came  through  the  Practice  School  on  through  the 
Normal. 

OUR    SCHOOL    GROUNDS. 

Through  the  generous  activity  of  Col.  W.  A.  Blair,  valuable  garden  seeds, 
berry  plants,  choice  flower  seed  and  shrubbery  have  been  donated  to  us  from 
time  to  time,  which  enabled  us  to  multiply  our  garden  products  and  beautify 
our  gi-ounds.  Some  valuable  landscape  and  terrace  work  has  been  done  by 
the  boys  under  the  direction  of  the  principal.  During  the  school  year  just 
closed.  Professor  Cheek,  with  his  manual  training  classes,  did  considerable 
work  in  the  way  of  building  and  repair ;  all  of  which  added  greatly  to  the 
general  aspect  of  our  school  gi'ounds. 

Just  here,  I  wish  to  call  your  attention  to  the  fact  that  at  neither  school 
building  is  there  any  provision  made  for  playgrounds.  The  grounds  that  have 
been  used  are  likely  to  be  taken  any  day  by  their  respective  owners,  and 
nearly  five  hundred  children  or  young  people  would  be  deprived  of  suitable 
places  for  necessary  sport  and  recreation. 

INDI^'INITENESS    OF    OUR    WORK. 

While  it  is  true  that  considerable  progress  has  been  made  during  these  years, 
there  has,  nevertheless,  been  more  or  less  uncertainty  in  our  general  policy. 
Doubtless,  this  was  due  in  a  large  measure  to  the  general  changing  of  hands. 
In  the  transfer  of  the  school  to  the  State  all  or  nearly  all  of  those  particular 
features  of  the  work  that  appealed  to  Northern  philanthropy  were  dropped 
or  temporarily  discontinued,  although  we  were  being  extensively  advertised  as 
one  of  the  leading  schools  of  the  South  where  negro  youth  of  both  sexes  were 
being  trained  to  lives  of  usefulness.  This  notoriety  naturally  brought  to  us 
visitors  and  investigators,  not  a  few,  whose  visits,  to  say  the  least,  were  em- 
barrassing and  of  doubtful  value;  for  what  they  most  desired  to  see  and 
investigate,  we  were  forced  to  say  "had  been  discontinued  for  lack  of  funds." 
And,  too,  we  had  no  literature  to  send  out  from  the  school,  for  the  reasons 
named  above.  Moreovei-,  it  is  a  candid  doubt  whether  an  agent  in  the  field, 
however  adroit  and  facile  in  the  use  of  words,  would  very  greatly  interest 
contributors  to  give  to  the  support  of  a  State  Normal  School.  The  suggestion 
of  any  decided  success  of  such  an  agent  would  be  a  reflection  upon  the  great 
Commonwealth  of  North  Carolina.  So  we  have  lost  a  number  of  these  con- 
tributions. This  has  been  a  source  of  pain  and  regret  to  all  of  us,  yet  we  feel 
that  it  could  scarcely  have  been  otherwise  under  the  circumstances.  Yet 
since  this  survey  is  retrospective  rather  than  prospective,  recommendations 
and  suggestions  may  not  be  in  order,  still  we  hazard  the  opinion  that  until 
we  incorporate  into  our  work  other  features  than  those  of  the  Normal  Course, 
we  may  not  hope  to  secure  many  philanthropic  contributions.  And  still  the 
work  of  the  manual  training  department  under  the  industrial  teachers  this 
year  will  go  a  long  way  towards  this  goal.     It  is  only  fair  that  I  say  right

here:  In  our  recent  conference  in  arranging  an  apin'oximute  budget  of  ex- 
penses for  tbe  coming  school  year  Superintendent  Bivins  made  provision  in  the 
way  of  additional  teaching  and  clerical  force,  so  that  the  principal  might  have 
more  time  to  work  this  Northern  held  in  an  effort  to  regain  our  lost  contribu- 
tors and  try  to  interest  new  friends. 

APPRECIATION    OF   TEACHERS. 

I  cannot  refrain  this  word  of  thanks  and  appreciation  for  the  si)lendid  work 
of  the  teachers  who  have  at  all  times  responded  with  cheerful  alacrity  to 
every  suggestion.  Especially  have  I  appreciated  the  help  and  encouragement 
that  came  to  the  work  out  of  the  abundant  experience  of  Prof.  John  W.  Woody, 
who  discontinued  active  service  with  us  two  years  ago,  but  whose  interest  in 
the  work  is  still  active,  not  only  by  way  of  encouraging  words  and  suggestions, 
but  in  the  more  tangible  gift  of  $100  the  past  year,  a  special  contribution  to 
help  in  Htting  u])  our  Cottage  Home  for  girls. 

PERSONAL  GRATITl'DE. 

lu  closing  this  statement,  gentlemen  of  the  board,  allow  me  to  thank  yuu. 
one  and  all,  for  the  confldence  you  have  reposed  in  me ;  for  the  ready  sympathy 
you  have  extended  to  me ;  for  your  cheerful  cooperation  given  me  in  this 
work  of  elevating  my  jieople  through  the  agency  of  the  State.  Your  words 
of  appreciation,  your  kindly  suggestions,  your  undoubted  interest  in  the  uplift 
of  my  people,  have  all  been  sources  of  inspiration  and  encouragement  to  all 
of  us,  for  which  we  are  very  grateful.  Frequently,  in  my  perplexity  and  em- 
barrassment, I  have  longed  to  call  on  you  for  help  and  suggestion,  but  know- 
ing all  too  well  the  many  and  varied  cares  and  business  interests  engaging 
your  time  and  attention,  and  remembering  that  you  have  already  given  un- 
stintedly both  time  and  means  for  the  furtherance  of  this  school.  I  have  re- 
frained from  following  this  inclination,  no  doubt  to  my  loss,  yet  whatever  of 
success  has  attended  my  efforts  is  in  a  large  degree  traceable  to  the  work  of 
your  most  excellent  board.  May  the  destinies  of  this  school  always  remain 
in  hands  as  wise  and  as  skillful.     Again  thanking  you,  I  beg  to  remain, 

Very  truly  yours,  _    ^    _,.^

REPORT  OF  PRINCIPAL  OF  FAYETTEVILLE  NORMAL  SCHOOL 


To  Prof.  J.  A.  Bivins,  Superintendent, 

State  Colored  yornuil  Schools. 

Ralcif/h,   v.  C. 

INlY  DEAR  Sir: — 1  beg.  respectfully,  to  submit  to  you  the  following  report  of 
the  work  done  and  of  the  progress  made  at  the  State  Colored  Normal  School, 
located  at  Fayetteville,  N.  C,  for  the  sessions  of  19()8-'09,  1!X)9-'10.  and  also 
for  the  first  week  of  the  session  of  1910-'ll. 

First  Session  in  New  Quarters. — The  first  session  of  the  school,  conducted 
in  its  new  home,  began  :Monday.  September  14,  1908.  The  enrollment  for  the 
first  day  of  that  session  was  only  45,  and  the  daily  average  attendance  for  the 
first  month  of  the  session  was  37.  The  attendance  l)eing  so  small.  Superin- 
tendent Duckett  reconunended  to  the  board  of  directors  that  the  services  of 
two  of  the  five  teachers  employed  in  the  school  be  dispensed  with  until  the 
attendance  Increased.  The  board  promptly  acted  upon  the  suggestion,  and 
two  of  the  teachers  were  dropped,  one  of  whom  was  reemployed  after  the 
lapse  of  three  months.  TJbe  average  daily  attendance,  for  that  session,  was 
70.     Length  of  the  session  was  eight  months. 

The  small  attendance  upon  the  school  for  that  session,  however,  was  ac- 
counted for.  in  part,  by  the  distance  the  school  is  situated  from  town ;  and. 
at  that  time,  there  were  little  or  no  accommodations,  at  or  near  the  school, 
to  offer  those  desiring  to  attend  it. 

The  Next  Session. — The  beginning  of  the  session  of  1!M)9-'10  found  better 
accommodations  to  offer  students.  A  number  of  small  cottages,  within  the 
immediate  locality  of  the  school,  had  been  erected  and  were  rented  by  the 
school.  Hence  the  attendance  iipon  the  school  for  the  first  diiy  of  that  ses- 
sion was  69';  for  the  first  month  it  was  65,  and  the  daily  average  attendance 
for  the  session  of  eight  months  was  109.  The  instructors,  including  the 
principal,  were  three  males  and  three  females. 

The  Beginning  of  the  Session  of  1910-'11. — To-day.  Sei)tember  20th.  with 
one  week  of  the  present  session  jiast.  the  enrollment  is  141,  with  the  students 
present  coming  from  twelve  different  comities.  Including  the  principal,  there 
are  employed  in  the  school,  at  la-esent.  six  teachers,  three  males  and  three 
females.     Work  of  the  session  is  moving  off  quite  smoothly  and  encouragingly. 

The  Site. — The  present  site  of  the  school  comprises  forty  acres  of  land.  It 
was  purchased  in  the  month  of  August,  1907.  and  deeded  to  the  State  as  a 
permanent  home  site  for  the  school.  It  cost  $3,500.  It  is  situated  about  a 
mile  northwest  of  the  city  limits.  About  half  the  tract  is  cleared ;  the  re- 
mainder is  wooded  with  oak,  pine,  and  other  native  trees.  There  is  also  a 
beautiful  grove  of  majestic  shade  trees  which  adorn  the  campus. 

Fruit  Trees  and  Fruit. — There  are  220  pear  trees  and  305  apple  trees  in 
the  orchard.  These  trees  had.  however,  been  neglected  for  several  years. 
Soon  after  the  school  took  possession  of  the  site,  the  pruning-knife  was  put 
in  operation.  Along  with  the  pruning  of  the  trees,  the  ground  about  them 
was  cleared  of  its  abundance  of  shrubbery.     The  trees  i)roduced  very  little 


132  State  Normal,  Schools. 

fruit  during  the  year  1908,  and,  no  one  living  on  ttie  grounds  to  care  for  the 
property,  mucli  of  the  fruit  produced  was  taljen  by  persons  in  no  way  con- 
nected with  the  school.  During  the  summer  of  1909  the  sum  of  $59.14  was 
realized  for  the  school  from  the  sale  of  fruit.  With  $40  of  said  amount  a 
canning  outfit  was  bought  for  the  school,  with  which  we  put  up  a  few  hun- 
dred cans  of  pears ;  but  as  no  sale  was  found  for  them,  they  were  disposed 
of  at  a  fraction  below  cost  of  putting  them  up. 

Crops. — The  cleared  portion  of  the  land  belonging  to  the  school  is  not  very 
fertile ;  and,  while  we  have  cultivated  crops  of  corn,  peas,  potatoes,  grasses. 
and  garden  vegetables  each  season  for  the  past  three  years,  they  have  been 
grown  with  little  or  no  profit  to  the  school  and  without  cost  to  the  State,  save 
$20  for  fertilizer  and  a  small  amount  expended  for  farm  utensils. 

While  the  foregoing  is  true,  we  have  been  able  by  cultivating  the  crops,  to 
give  work  to  a  number  of  boys  and  thereby  enable  them  to  attend  school,  and 
also  leara  rudiments  of  practical  agriculture. 

Main  Building. — Soon  after  the  purchase  of  the  present  site,  the  erection 
of  the  main  building  of  the  school  was  begun.  It  was  completed  in  time  for 
use  at  the  beginning  of  the  session.  September  14,  1908.  It  is  a  two-story 
brick  building  covered  with  slate.  It  contains  four  large,  well-lighted  recita- 
tion-rooms, each  supplied  with  blackboards,  twenty-five  double  folding  desks; 
it  has,  also,  office  with  desk  and  chair ;  it  has  a  well-appointed  assembly  hall 
that  seats  250  persons.  This  hall  has  in  it  a  piano  which  cost  $205,  $121  of 
which  has  already  been  paid  with  the  money  realized  from  the  sale  of  fruit 
and  other  contingent  funds  coming  from  students. 

Dormitory. — A  brick  dormitory,  for  girls,  was  commenced  in  October,  1909. 
It  is  now  receiving  the  finishing  touches  of  the  painter's  brush  as  these  lines 
are  written.  It  is  a  two-story  brick  structure,  covered  with  tin  shingles.  It 
contains  twenty-nine  well-appointed  bedrooms,  and  also  a  basement,  with  a 
large  kitchen,  a  spacious  dining-room,  a  storeroom,  a  service-room,  a  compart- 
ment in  which  domestic  science  will  be  taught.  Orders  have  been  placed  for 
furnishing  this  building. 

The  Cottage.— There  is  also  on  the  campus  a  single-story,  six-room  frame 
building.  It  has  been  repaired  and  is  occupied  by  the  principal  and  a  num- 
ber of  boys. 

Barn. — During  the  month  of  August,  last  past,  a  barn  24x32  was  partly 
built ;  that  is,  it  was  framed,  weatherboarded  and  covered. 

Otiier  Conditions. — Perhaps  a  statement,  presenting  some  facts  with  refer- 
ence to  existing  conditions,  may  not  be  out  of  place  in  this  report. 

The  school  was  established  by  the  State  Board  of  Education  in  the  year 
1876.  The  sessions  of  the  school  were  conducted  in  the  upper  story  of  the 
colored  public  school  building,  in  Fayetteville.  from  the  time  of  its  establish- 
ment imtil  the  year  1904.  During  the  year  last  named  a  tract  of  land  con- 
taining 25  acres,  lying  in  the  western  suburbs  of  the  city,  was  purchased  and 
deeded  to  the  State,  for  the  school,  at  a  cost  of  $1,500.  The  principal,  with 
endorsement,  gave  note  and  borrowed  $1,000  from  the  Fourth  National  Bank 
of  the  city.     The  State  paid  the  balance  of  the  needed  amount. 

The  board  of  directors,  during  1907,  sold  the  said  25  acres  of  land  for  the 
Sinn  of  $2,.50O.  Soon  after  the  sale  just  mentioned,  the  present  desii'able  site 
of  40  acres  was  offered  for  sale  to  the  board  of  directors  for  the  sum  of  $3,500. 
Of  this  amount,  the  board  had  in  hand,  for  the  purchasing  of  a  site  for  the 


State  JSTormal  Schools.  133 

school,  only  the  price  received  for  the  25  acres.  A  thousand  dollars  must, 
then,  be  raised  at  once;  hence,  another  note  was  given  and  an  additional 
$1,000  was  borrowed  and  the  purchase  was  made: 

Borrowed  during  1904 $1,000 

Borrowed  during  1907 1,000 

Interest  on  money  borrowed  to  August  1,  1910 384 


$2,384 

Money  has  been  raised  and  payment  made  on  the  foregoing  sum  as  follows 

Paid  by  white  friends,  from  time  to  time $     269 

Paid  by  colored  people  508 

Paid  by  E.  E.  Smith,  from  time  to  time 1,207 

Balance  due  bank 400 


$2,384 


In  conclusion,  permit  me  to  express  my  sense  of  deep  indebtedness  to  the 
board  of  directors  of  the  school  for  interest  manifested  in  the  welfare  and  de- 
velopment, for  wise  counsel  given,  from  time  to  time,  and  directing  and  con- 
trolling the  work  and  affairs  of  the  school  generally. 

And  to  our  able,  talented,  and  most  excellent  Superintendent,  we  acknowl- 
edge abiding  gratitude  for  inspiration,  encouragement,  and  instruction  in  the 
work  and  progress  of  the  institution.  Very  obediently,

REPORT  OF  PRINCIPAL  OF  ELIZABETH  CITY  NORMAL  SCHOOL 


To  the  Superintendent  of  formal  Schools,  and  Memhcr.s  of  fJic  Loral  Board 
of  Managers  of  the  State  Normal  School,  Elizahcth  Cltij.  A'.  C. 

Gentlemen  : — I  have  the  honor  to  submit  the  following  report  as  Principal 
of  the  State  Colored  Normal  School  of  Elizabeth  City,  for  the  year  1900-1010. 

Since  my  last  annual  report,  you  are  aware  that  tbei'e  have  been  no  mate- 
rial changes  in  the  organization  and  management  of  the  institution.  The 
teachers,  students,  and  the  public  have  shown  the  highest  respect  for  the  local 
and  State  management  of  the  institution  and  h;ive  given  the  institution  their 
moral  support.  This  evidences  to  some  degree  the  wholesome  influence  this 
school  has  on  the  commmiity. 

There  was  one  change  in  the  faculty  duriug  the  session.  Trof.  J.  H.  Bias, 
head  of  the  Department  of  ^Mathematics,  resigned  after  teaching  five  weeks, 
to  accept  a  position  in  Shaw  University.  Raleigh,  at  an  Increased  salary.  He 
was  succeeded  by  Mr.  William  11.  Watson,  a  graduate  of  Atlanta  University. 
Atlanta,  Ga.  With  this  exce]ition,  the  faculty  remained  the  same  until  the 
close  of  the  session,  Api'il  20,  1010. 

The  following  teachers  of  last  session  who  have  offered  their  resignations 
are  those  of  the  Departments  of  English.  Music  and  English,  Preparatory  and 
Practice  School.  With  these  exceptions.  I  recommend  the  reelection  of  the 
other  members  of  the  faculty  of  1909-1910,  and  the  following  teachers  to  fill 
the  vacancies :  Head  of  English  Department,  Miss  E.  Romaine  Robinson. 
A.  B. ;  Music,  Spelling  and  Assistant  in  English,  Miss  Carter  Simmons,  gradu- 
ate of  Tuskegee  and  an  undergraduate  of  Fisk  University ;  Preparatory  De- 
partment, Miss  Sadie  Bruce  Davis,  A.  P..  ;  'Critic  Teacher  for  the  Practice 
School,  Miss  Helen  E.  W.  Lee. 

For  the  most  part,  the  faculty  was  ca])able  and  did  efficient  service.  There 
was  no  discord  in  the  institution  to  retard  its  moral  and  intellectual  progress. 
The  student  l)ody  enjoyed  good  health. 

As  to  the  attendance,  the  showing  for  the  year  just  ended  is  quite  gratifying. 
The  year  1908-1900  the  enrollment  of  students  in  all  departments  was  347. 
representing  25  counties,  while  the  enrollment  of  students  for  the  year  1909- 
1910  was  364,  representing  27  counties,  showing  numerical  progress,  both  as 
to  enrollment  and  the  territory  represented. 

One  year  ago  the  institution  graduated  7  students  from  the  Normal  Depart- 
ment. At  the  last  connnencement  9  students  received  diplomas  from  the 
Academic  Department  and  24  from  the  Normal  Department.  Seven  of  the 
Academic  graduates  received  certificates  of  graduation  from  the  Domestic 
Science  and  Art  Department.  Diplomas  will  be  awarded  to  two  other  mem- 
bers of  the  Normal  Class  1910.  after  they  return  next  fall  and  make  u])  de- 
ficiencies in  English  Grammar  and  Arithmetic. 

The  young  women  of  the  institution  are  vitally  interested  in  the  work  of 
the  Domestic  Science  Department,  which  is  handicapped  on  account  of  insuffi- 
cient room  to  seat  the  large  classes  and  the  lack  of  funds  at  the  disposal  of 
the  management  to  employ  an  associate  instructor  for  this  department.     How-

oniniend  that  this  nietliod  of  rclicvini,'  the  situation  he  continued  another  year 
at   tlie  same  saUiries. 

Permit  me  to  assure  you  tliat  there  is  vastly  more  worl^  to  l)e  done  in  tins 
school  now  than  ever  before,  because  of  the  numerical  enlargement  and  tlic 
expansion,  though  limited,  of  the  departments  of  instruction.  The  principal 
finds  tliat  a  large  amount  of  supervision  on  his  part  is  absolutely  necessaiy  to 
the  successful  operation  of  the  work.  The  instructors  are  t-apahle  and  effi- 
cient, but  the  lack  of  experience  and  skill  in  disciplining  and  instructing  large 
classes  somewhat  incapacitates  them  for  the  task. 

The  important  work  of  the  Practice  and  Training  School  Department,  where 
the  Senior  Normal  students  do  practice  teaching  that  fits  them  for  the  ])ublic 
schools  of  the  State,  also  demands  a  consideralile  jiortion  of  the  principal's 
time. 

The  commencement  was  largely  attended.  The  annual  sermon  was  preached 
by  Rev.  R.  H.  P>owling.  I).  I)..  Norfolk.  Va.  The  connnencement  address  was 
made  by  Mrs.  Mary  Church  Terrell,  of  Washington.  D.  C.  The  diplomas  were 
awarded  bj-  Prof.  J.  A.  Bivins.  All  of  the  addresses  were  tlioroughly  and  ably 
prepared  aiid  well  delivered.  Among  other  white  friends  who  attended  the 
graduating  exercises,  I  mention  with  pleasure  the  names  of  Prof.  S.  L.  Sheep, 
treasurer  of  the  local  board  of  nninagers.  State  Normal  School :  Superintend- 
ent G.  R.  Little  of  the  county  public  schools,  and  Rev.  I.  N.  Loftin,  pastor 
of  Blackwell  Memorial  Church,  city. 

A  number  of  merchants  and  other  business  men  i)resented  to  the  school  a 
nice  number  of  valuable  prizes  for  excellence  in  various  lines  of  school  work 
for  the  past  session.  The  judges  awarded  the  Meekins  medal  to  Ruth  S. 
Moore  for  best  essay. 

The  following  financial  report  for  the  year  ended  has  been  made  to  the 
treasurer  of  the  institution  :

When  it  is  considered  that  the  364  students  who  were  enrolled  here  last  year 
represent  various  phases  of  home  training,  and  that  the  greater  portion  of 
them  remained  in  school  without  causing  friction  of  any  kind  that  could  not 
be  easily  adjusted,  it  should  be  cause  for  encouragement  to  those  interested 
in  educating  the  negro  to  become  more  efficient  as  a  citizen. 

There  was  one  severe  case  of  illness  during  the  session.  Mason  C.  Harvey 
of  Dover,  N.  C,  became  the  victim  of  pneumonia.  His  attending  physicians 
were  Drs.  McMullan  and  Cardwell. 


136  State  I^oemal  Schools. 

There  was  a  greater  demand  for  the  graduates  of  the  State  Normal  as  teach- 
ers than  during  any  other  school  year.  In  fact,  we  could  not  supply  the  de- 
mand ;  but  the  niunber  has  been  recruited  by  thirty-five,  some  of  whom  have 
already  been  employed  to  teach  and  others  are  seeking  employment. 

Such  is  the  brief  story,  in  part,  of  the  work  of  the  nineteenth  annual  session 
of  the  State  Colored  Normal  School  planted  at  this  place  for  the  training  of 
teachers  for  the  public  schools.  There  are,  however,  many  other  problems  that 
arose  during  the  session  with  which  I  need  not  tax  your  patience,  since  enough 
has  been  said  to  justify  a  hopeful  outlook  for  the  future. 

At  no  time,  as  principal,  have  I  had  greater  reason  to  express  my  profoimd 
thanks  to  the  head  of  the  educational  system  of  the  State,  to  the  Superintend- 
ent of  Normal  Schools,  and  to  the  local  board  of  managers,  than  I  have  on 
this  occasion.  I  do,  therefore,  covet  your  acceptance  of  my  thankfulness  for 
all  that  you  have  so  kindly  and  wisely  done  to  build  up  this  institution. 

Sincerely  submitted,  t.  -rrr   T»r

REMARKS. 

Buildings. — The  uorniiil  sdiool  buikliujj;  ;it  Elizabetli  City,  costiuis?  .$12,U0U. 
has  been  completed  uiul  has  been  standing;  idle  for  nearly  two  years,  owing  to 
lack  of  donnitt^iry  facilities.  Plans  have  been  drawn  and  the  contract  has 
been  let  for  a  ."firi.OOO  dormitory.  By  September,  liHI.  it  is  lidiicd  that  the 
school  can  move  ont  of  the  old  (inarters  into  the  new. 

A  new  dormitory  costing  .$10,000  has  been  erected  at  Fayetteville.  This  dor- 
mitcn-y  has  two  stories  and  a  basement.  The  basement  is  cemented  and  con- 
tains tlie  coolviug  and  dining  rooms,  a  room  for  domestic  science,  and  two 
rooms  for  the  practice  school,  besides  other  rooms  that  can  be  converted  into 
special  use  as  occasion  demands.  The  dormitory  at  Elizabeth  City  will  be 
constructed  on  the  same  general  plan,  except  that  it  will  be  considerably  larger. 

No  dormitory  has  been  built  at  the  Slater  School  at  Winston  as  yet.  since  the 
need  for  one  at  that  point  is  not  so  great  as  at  the  other  schools.  However,  a 
strip  of  land  adjoining  the  normal  school  building  at  Slater  has  recently  been 
purchased  with  a  view  to  the  erection  of  a  dormitory  in  the  near  future.  The 
main  building  at  Slater  has  been  wired  and  is  now  lighted  by  electricity.  As 
soon  as  the  funds  are  available  all  of  these  schools  will  be  heated  by  heating 
plants.  At  present  they  are  heated  by  stoves — a  very  unsatisfactory  arrange- 
ment, from  the  standpoint  of  economy,  cleanliness,  and  safety. 

The  General  Assembly  of  1!)0!»  made  an  appropriation  of  $2,000  to  the 
Croatans  for  building  purposes.  Supplementing  this  fund  with  al)out  .$800 
raised  by  private  contribution,  these  people  have  erected  a  handsome  school 
building  on  their  new  10-acre  lot  near  Pembroke.  They  are  still  in  need  of  a 
dormitorJ^  Furthermore,  they  need  an  increase  in  the  appropriation  for  main- 
tenance such  as  will  allow  them  to  secure  an  extra  teacher  and  make  i)rovision 
for  instruction  in  domestic  science  and  agriculture.  These  yteople  are 
thoroughly  interested  in  their  school,  and  the  school  has  had  a  nmrked  influ- 
ence on  them  for  good. 

industrial  Work. — Efficient  work  is  done  in  the  Colored  Normals  in  domestic 
science.  The  salaries  of  the  domestic  science  teachers  are  paid  out  of  the 
Slater  Fund.  At  the  Winston  School  the  old  barn  has  been  converted  into  a 
manual-training  shop  for  the  boys.  This  shop  contains  a  room  set  apart  for 
mechanical  drawing,  one  for  blacksmith  work,  another  for  carpentry.  The 
shop  is  fairly  well  supplied  with  tools,  a  ]iart  of  the  equii)ment  being  a  gaso- 
line engine.  The  work  of  remodeling  this  old  barn  was  don<>  entirely  by  the 
students  imder  the  direction  of  Professor  Cheek,  the  master  of  industries. 

Attendance. — There  has  been  an  increase  in  enrollment  in  1909-'10  over 
11)07-"0S  of  exactly  14  per  cent  in  the  Winston  and  Elizabeth  City  schools. 
The  enrollment  in  the  Fayetteville  School  fell  off  considerably  in  the  fall  of 
190S-'00.  owing  to  the  disastrous  floods  in  that  region,  and  also  to  the  lack  of 
dormitory  facilities  at  the  new  school.  During  the  succeeding  year  it  just 
about  regained  its  former  standard  of  enrollment.  Already,  since  the  opening 
of  the  new  dormitory,  the  attendance  for  the  fall  term  of  1010  has  reached 
300  and  more.  The  enrollment  at  the  Croatan  Normal  for  10O!)-'lo  shows  an 
increase  of  331/5  per  cent  over  the  enrollment  of  the  year  ])revions.  and  an  in- 
crease of  166%  per  cent  ovei'  that  of  two  years  ago.

CIRCULAR-LETTERS  OF  STATE  SUPERINTENDENT, 
JULY  1,  1908,  TO  JUNE  30,  1910. 


It  seems  advisable  to  mclude  in  tliis  Report  only  tlie  most  important  circular- 
letters  of  the  biennial  period.  On  account  of  the  enlargement  of  the  State 
Department  of  Public  Instruction  and  the  growth  of  the  entire  school  work 
of  the  State,  the  number  of  circular-letters  sent  out  to  better  direct  the  school 
forces  has  necessarily  increased,  and  it  would  extend  the  limits  of  the  Report 
too  greatly  if  all  such  letters  were  included. 


INVENTORY   OF   SCHOOL  SUPPLIES   IN    SUPERINTENDENT'S   OFFICE. 

To  the  County  Superintendent:  Raleigh,  July  9,  1908. 

Please  make  a  careful  inventory  of  the  school  supplies  now  in  the  office  of 
the  County  Superintendent  of  Public  Instruction;  and,  with  this  information 
before  you,  kindly  itemize  on  the  enclosed  blank,  as  best  you  can.  the  supplies 
your  coimty  will  need  for  distribution  before  the  opening  of  the  public  schools. 
I  desire  to  have  this  information  at  once,  that  I  may  avoid  possible  delay  and 
inconvenience  by  having  enough  supplies  prepared  now  and  sent  out  early  for 
general  distribution.  Very  truly  yours,  J.  Y.  Joyner, 

Superintendent  0/  Public  Instruction. 


STATE   ASSOCIATION   OF  COUNTY  SU  PERINTENDENTS— CALL   FOR 

MEETING  AT  MOREHEAD  CITY. 

To  the  Count!/  Superintendent.  Raleigh,  July  17,  1908. 

Dear  Sir  : — A  majority  of  the  county  superintendents  expi'essed  a  preference 
for  holding  the  annual  meeting  of  the  State  Association  of  County  Superin- 
tendents by  tlie  seashore  this  year.  After  investigating  the  rates,  railroad  con- 
nections, etc.,  at  Wrightsville  Beach  and  Morehead  City,  I  concluded  to  call  the 
meeting  at  the  Atlantic  Hotel,  Morehead  City,  N.  C,  as  the  most  favorable 
terms  were  offered  by  that  hotel.  The  dates  of  the  meeting  are  Wednesday, 
August  26th,  Thursday,  August  27th,  and  Friday,  August  28th.  All  superin- 
tendents are  expected  to  arrive  at  the  Atlantic  Hotel  Tuesday  evening,  August 
25th.  The  first  session  will  be  held  Wednesday  morning,  August  26th,  at  10 
o'clock.  There  will  be  morning  and  evening  sessions  Wednesday  and  Thurs- 
day. The  last  session  will  close  Friday  at  1  o'clock  P.  M.,  in  time  for  those 
desiring  to  leave  for  home  on  the  afternoon  trains.  The  afternoons  will  be 
left  open  for  rest,  fishing,  bathing  and  other  recreation. 

The  rates  of  board  will  be  .$1.50  per  day  each,  two  in  a  room;  $2  per 
day  each,  one  in  a  room ;  $12  per  week,  one  in  a  room ;  $10  per  week,  two 
in  a  room.     The  same  rates  will  be  extended  to  the  families  of  county  super- 


148  Circular-letters. 

intendents.  I  presume  that  summer  rate  tickets  to  Morehead  City  will  be  on 
sale  at  all  important  ticket  offices.  You  can  compare  these  rates  with  mileage 
and  use  the  cheapest. 

Section  4141  of  the  Public  School  Law  makes  It  absolutely  mandatory  upon 
every  county  superintendent  to  attend  this  meeting  continuously  during  its 
session,  unless  providentially  hindered.  The  law  is  equally  mandatory  upon 
the  County  Board  of  Education  to  pay  the  traveling  expenses  of  every  county 
superintendent.  It  is  the  sworn  duty  of  every  county  superintendent  to  obey 
this  law,  and  my  sworn  duty  to  enforce  it.  We  cannot  expect  others  to  obey 
the  school  law  unless  we  obey  it. 

I  shall  be  greatly  grieved  if  a  single  county  superintendent  fails  to  obey  this 
law  this  year,  and  I  shall  feel  compelled  to  investigate  the  reasons  for  such 
failure  and  to  report  them  to  the  County  Board  of  Education  for  investigation, 
unless  the  cause  of  detention  is  really  providential.  I  believe  that  all  of  the 
county  superintendents  are  sufficiently  interested  in  their  work  and  suf- 
ficiently appreciative  of  the  value  and  importance  of  these  annual  gatherings 
to  render  it  unnecessary  to  invoke  the  law  to  compel  attendance  or  to  resort 
to  the  unpleasantness  of  an  investigation.  Public  duty  should  be  placed  ahead 
of  private  business,  and  a  public  officer  who  cannot  rise  to  this  conception  of 
his  public  duty  ought  to  resign. 

The  attendance  last  year  was  large  and  the  meeting  most  profitable.  There 
is  every  reason  to  expect  a  larger  attendance  and  a  more  profitable  meeting 
this  year.  There  are  many  important  questions  for  consideration  and  discus- 
sion. I  enclose  some  of  the  topics.  I  hope  every  superintendent  will  come  pre- 
pared to  give  and  receive  information  and  suggestions  on  these  and  other 
topics.  Most  of  the  meetings  will  be  informal  conferences  and  exchanges  of 
experience  and  suggestions  about  the  practical  problems  of  our  common  work 
immediately  pressing  for  solution. 

In  consideration  of  the  payment  of  his  expenses  by  the  County  Board  of 
Education  to  attend  these  annual  meetings,  the  time  of  the  county  superin- 
tendent while  attending  them  belongs  to  the  State  and  county,  and  it  is  his 
duty  to  use  this  time  first  for  the  transaction  of  the  business  of  the  Association, 
for  the  advancement  of  the  cause  of  education  in  the  State  and  county.  The 
county  superintendents  have  heretofore  shown  a  most  conscientious  apprecia- 
tion of  this  duty  by  prompt  and  continuous  attendance  upon  the  business  meet- 
ings of  the  Association  and  faithful  attention  to  its  business.  I  feel  sure  that 
they  will  not  permit  the  temptations  and  distractions  of  a  seaside  resort  to 
divert  them  from  the  faithful  performance  of  this  duty  this  year.  Every 
superintendent  will  be  expected  to  attend  continuously  every  morning  and 
evening  session  of  the  Association.  The  afternoons  have  been  purposely  left 
open  for  rest  and  recreation.  Superintendents  desiring  more  time  for  enjoying 
the  diversions  of  the  seashore  can  take  advantage  of  the  reduced  rates  at  the 
hotel  and  remain  longer. 

I  am  looking  forward  with  the  keenest  pleasure  to  meeting  all  of  you  at 
Morehead  City,  and  I  most  heartily  wish  for  every  one  of  you  a  most  delightful 
and  profitable  week  at  this  pleasant  seaside  resort. 

Very  truly  yours,  J.  Y.  Joynee, 

Superintendent  of  Ptiblic  Instruction.

IN  REGARD  TO  CERTIFICATES  OF  DEPOSIT  FOR  PUBLIC  HIGH 

SCHOOLS. 

„^,     ^       ^«         •  ^     ^     ^  Raleigh,  August  20,  1908. 

To  the  County  Superintendent. 

Dear  Sir  : — I  enclose  the  following  blanks,  relative  to  the  appropriation  for 
public  high  schools  in  your  county : 

First.  Treasurer's  blank  certificate  for  the  County  Treasurer  to  fill  out  and 
sign  for  each  of  the  public  high  schools  in  your  county,  as  required  by  sections 
7  and  8  of  the  Public  High-school  Law.  No  State  warrants  for  any  high 
school  will  be  sent  until  a  separate  certificate  for  that  high  school,  signed  by 
the  treasurer,  is  filed  in  my  office. 

Second.  A  committeemen's  blank  certificate,  to  be  filled  and  signed  by  the 
chairman  and  secretary  of  the  committee  of  each  special-tax  district  in  which 
a  public  high  school  has  been  established  and  in  which  the  district's  part  of 
the  high-school  fund,  or  any  part  thereof,  is  to  be  supplied  out  of  the  special 
tax  levied  and  collected  in  said  district.  This  blank,  when  filled  and  signed, 
must  be  sent  to  me  to  be  filed  in  my  office,  and  is  absolutely  necessary  for  my 
information  as  to  the  proportion  of  the  special-tax  fund  used  for  the  high 
school,  and  as  to  the  sufficiency  of  the  remainder  of  the  fund  to  maintain  a 
school  term  of  not  less  than  five  months  in  the  lower  grades  of  said  school. 

Third.  A  blank  note  to  be  filled  and  signed  by  the  committeemen  in  high- 
school  districts  in  which  the  district's  part  of  the  funds  is  to  be  supplied  out 
of  the  special  tax  when  collected.  This  note  is  to  be  given  to  the  treasurer  for 
his  protection,  so  that  he  may  accept  it,  if  satisfactory  to  him,  in  lieu  of  the 
actual  cash,  which  the  law  requires  to  be  in  his  hands  before  the  State  war- 
rant can  be  sent,  and  so  that,  on  the  strength  of  it,  he  may  certify  that  the 
money  has  been  placed  in  his  hands  to  the  credit  of  the  district.  Unless  the 
treasurer  is  willing  to  accept  this  note  in  lieu  of  the  money  and  certify  to  me, 
as  required  by  law.  that  the  money  is  in  his  hands,  the  State  warrant  cannot 
be  sent  until  the  taxes  are  collected  and  placed  in  his  hands,  and  he  then  files 
the  certificates  required  by  section  7  of  the  Public  School  Law^ 

Fourth.  County  superintendent's  certificate,  to  be  filled  and  signed  by  the 
County  Superintendent  and  returned  to  me  with  the  treasurer's  and  the  com- 
mitteemen's certificates. 

Please  confer  at  once  with  your  treasurer  and,  when  necessary,  with  the 
committeemen,  and  forward  to  me  as  early  as  possible  the  treasurer's  certifi- 
cate and  the  committeemen's  certificate,  so  that  the  apportionment  can  be 
made  and  the  State  warrants  for  the  support  of  your  high  schools  sent.  I 
am  anxious  to  send  the  State  warrants  as  soon  as  possible,  so  that  the  high 
schools  may  have  the  benefit  of  the  money  and  pay  the  teachers  without  re- 
quiring them  to  wait  for  their  salaries.  The  warrants  will  be  sent  for  each 
legal  high  school  as  soon  as  the  certificates  are  received  and  the  law  complied 
with.  The  County  Superintendent  is  the  executive  officer  of  the  public  school 
system  of  the  county,  hence  I  have  adopted  the  plan  of  dealing  directly  through 
him  in  all  matters  relating  to  the  public  high  schools.  I  shall  look  to  you, 
not  to  the  County  Treasurer  nor  to  the  committeemen.  I  have  not  written  to 
them  about  this  matter,  but  I  shall  expect  you  to  take  such  steps  as  may  be 
necessary  to  expedite  it.  All  State  warrants  for  public  high  schools  should, 
if  possible,  be  sent  during  the  month  of  September.  Such  as  are  not  sent 
before  November  30th  will  not  be  available  this  year.  Let  me  hear  from  you 
at  once.  Very  truly  yours,  J.  Y.  Joyner, 

Superintendent  of  Public  Instruction.

IMPORTANT  SUGGESTIONS  TO  COUNTY  SU  PERINTENDENTS— TEXT- 
BOOKS—GRADI  NG  PUPILS— COUNTY  TEACHERS'  ASSOCIATION- 
PROTECTION   OF   PROPERTY. 

To  the  (Joiudy  Superintendent.  Raleigh,  September  5,  IOCS. 

Deab  SiK : — I  beg  to  call  your  attention  to  section  4001  of  the  Text-book 
Law,  making  it  unlawful  to  use  in  the  public  schools  any  test-books  except 
those  on  the  adopted  list.  I  suggest  that  you  send  a  circular-letter  to  all  your 
teachers  calling  attention  to  this  law,  directing  the  enforcement  of  it,  and 
enclosing  a  printed  list  of  the  adopted  books  and  the  depositories  in  your 
county.  These  lists  of  books  and  depositories  will  be  furnished  in  any  numlier 
requested  from  this  oflice  upon  demand. 

I  suggest  that  you  call  the  especial  attention  of  your  teachers  to  Hill's 
Yonmj  People's  Historij  of  Kortli  Carolina  and  Peele'.s  Civil  Government, 
as  both  of  these  books  were  delayed  a  year,  not  being  ready  for  introduction  in 
the  schools  until  the  fall  of  1907.  They  are  both  excellent  text-books  on  im- 
portant subjects  by  North  Carolina  authors.  The  law  requires  them  to  be 
taught  in  all  grades  prepared  for  the  study  of  them  to  the  exclusion  of  all 
other  text-books  on  these  subjects.  Urge  their  introduction  at  once  if  they 
have  not  already  been  introduced. 

I  wish  also  to  call  your  attention  in  tlie  beginning  of  the  term  to  the  abso- 
lute necessity  of  grading  the  work  in  all  your  public  schools  in  accordance 
with  the  graded  course  of  study  adopted  for  grades  one  to  seven  and  sent  out 
from  my  office  in  Educational  Bulletin  No.  YIII.  This  bxdletin  also  contains 
inost  valuable  suggestions  to  teachers  for  teaching'  most  of  the  common-school 
branches.  This  course  of  study  and  these  suggestions  should  be  placed  in  the 
hands  of  every  public  school  teacher  in  your  county,  and  you  should  require 
the  teacher  to  grade  the  work  in  accordance  with  it.  Upon  your  request, 
copies  of  this  bulletin  for  distribution  to  your  teachers  will  be  sent  to  you. 

fjct  me  urge  you  also  to  organize  your  teachers  into  a  Comity  Teachers" 
Association,  if  you  have  not  already  clone  so,  and  to  give  careful  attention  to 
the  direction  of  the  work  of  the  teachers  through  this  association.  It  is  very 
necessary  for  you  to  meet  your  teachers  face  to  face  for  conference,  discussion 
and  professional  work  at  least  once  a  month,  if  possible,  during  the  session  of 
your  schools.  The  Recitation,  by  Hamilton,  the  adopted  book  on  Pedagogy, 
might  be  profitably  made  the  basis  of  professional  study  in  your  Teachers" 
Association  this  year,  devoting  at  least  one  period  each  meeting  to  it.  Let 
your  teachers  know  that  they  will  lie  examined  on  this  book  in  October  ex- 
aminations and  thereafter.  If  necessary,  it  would  pay  to  add  a  sufficient 
amount  to  the  monthly  salary  of  the  teacher  to  cover  at  least  the  actual  ex- 
pense of  each  meeting  of  the  County  Teachers'  Association  attended. 

Let  me  urge  you  also  to  trtke  every  precaution  for  the  care  and  protection 
of  the  schoolhouses  and  i»roperfy.  Tlie  title  to  all  public  school  property  is 
vested  in  the  County  Board  of  Education,  and  that  board  and  the  County 
Superintendent  as  its  representative  are  i)riniarily  responsible  for  the  proper 
care  and  protection  of  that  property  and  have  full  authority  to  control  it  in 
.•my  way  necessary  for  its  protection  and  preservation.  Let  the  teachers  under- 
stand that  they  will  be  held  strictly  responsible  for  the  condition  of  the  houses 
and  the  property  during  the  school  term,  and  let  the  connnitteemen  under- 
stand that,  under  section  4147  of  the  Public  School  Law,  they  are  entrusted 


ClRCULAR-LETTEKS.  151 

with  the  care  and  custody  of  all  schoolhouses,  grouuds,  aud  property,  with 
power  to  control  them  for  the  interests  of  the  schools  and  the  cause  of  educa- 
tion. Stir  them  up  to  their  duty  in  this  respect.  It  would  be  well  to  write 
a  letter  to  all  your  school  committeemen  aud  to  all  your  teachers  on  this  im- 
portant subject.  I  have  reason  to  believe  that  even  some  of  om-  new  school- 
houses  and  new  school  furniture  are  being  greatly  damaged  on  account  of  the 
carelessness  of  those  in  charge  of  the  property,  aud  that  many  schoolhouses 
are  left  open  after  school  hours  aud  during  vacation,  to  be  at  the  mercy  of 
every  passerby.  It  is  the  duty  of  public  school  officials  to  take  the  same  care 
of  the  public  school  property  as  they  would  take  of  their  private  property. 

Give  as  much  time  as  possible  to  visiting  the  schools,  inspecting  the  work, 
the  houses  and  the  property,  and  aiding,  stimulating,  and  directing  the  teach- 
ers. Through  brief  reports,  preferably  weekly  postal-card  reports,  keep  in 
touch  with  the  teacher  and  her  work.  It  will  aid  you  to  know  where  your 
visits  aud  services  are  most  needed  and  will  do  most  good.  It  helps  for  the 
teacher  to  realize  that  the  eye  of  the  Superintendent  is  on  her  school  and  her 
work,  and  that  she  has  his  interest,  sympathj-  aud  cooperation. 

Do  not  forget  that  you  occupy  the  strategic  ])oint  in  the  public  scliool 
system  of  your  county,  and  that  the  success  of  the  schools  this  year  will  be 
largely  dependent  upon  j'our  activity,  fidelity,  and  wisdom.  The  responsibility 
and  the  labor  are  great,  but  the  results  will  be  infinite  and  the  reward  some 
day  will  be  sweet. 

With  heartfelt  gratitude  for  your  past  kindness,  sympathy,  aud  loyal  sup- 
port, with  earnest  assurance  of  mj'  continued  sympathy  and  cooperation,  aud 
with  best  wishes  for  a  successful  and  haijpy  year's  work,  I  am. 

Very  truly  yoiu-s,  J.  Y.  Joyneb, 

f^uperintendent  of  Piihlic  Instruct io^i. 


LETTER    OF    INSTRUCTION    CONCERNING    APPLICATION    FOR   AID 

FROM  SECOND  $100,000. 

To  the  Count!,  su,HriHtr,nJcn1.  Raleigh,  November.  1908. 

Dkar  Sir: — I  am  sending  you  blank  applications  for  aid  from  the  second 
hundred  thousand  dollars.  I  suggest  that  you  collect  all  the  necessary  infor- 
mation and  be  ready  to  fill  the  blanks  immediately  after  the  meeting  of  the 
("ounty  Koard  of  Education  on  the  first  Monday  in  .Tanuavy.  lOOn.  so  that  they 
may  be  returned  without  delay  to  this  office. 

Before  filling  out  these  blanks,  please  read  carefully  sections  4097-4107  of 
the  Public  School  Law  of  1907,  pages  30-33.  Please  read  carefully  also  the 
heading  of  each  column  of  the  enclosed  blanks.  Read  carefully  also  printed 
directions  on  back  of  blanlc  application  for  api)ortionment  of  school  fund  and 
give  in  application  the  detailed  information  requested.  I  beg  to  call  your 
careful  attention  also  to  the  following  explanations  of  the  law : 

I.  Counties  entitled  to  aid. — No  county  is  entitled  to  aid  under  this  act 
imless  sections  4104  and  4106  of  the  act  have  been  strictly  complied  with,  and 
no  application  will  be  considered  until  the  affidavit  to  that  effect  required  by 
law  shall  have  been  made  by  the  proper  officers  on  the  back  of  the  application. 
Read  carefully  these  sections.     Read  carefully,  also,  section  4116  of  the  Public 


152  CiRCULAK-LETTEES. 

School  Law,  and  observe  especially,  as  explained  in  notes  on  this  section,  that 
counties  having  more  than  a  four-months  school  term  in  any  township,  and 
less  in  others,  must  use  at  least  one-sixth  of  their  county  fund  to  aid  all  their 
school  districts  to  have  a  four-months  term  before  they  will  be  entitled  to  aid 
from  the  second  hundred  thousand  dollars ;  and  observe,  also,  the  apportion- 
ment must  be  made  per  capita  by  the  trustees  as  required  therein  and  fully 
explained  in  the  notes  printed  on  the  last  page  of  the  application. 

II.  Districts  entitled  to  aid. — Read  carefully  section  4103,  and  observe  that 
no  school  district  with  a  school  census  of  less  than  65  can  receive  any  aid 
unless  the  formation  and  continuance  of  such  district  shall  have  been  for  the 
good  and  sufficient  reasons  mentioned  in  that  section,  and  that  no  application 
from  such  a  district  will  be  considered  until  the  affidavit  to  that  fact  shall 
have  been  made  by  the  proper  officers  on  the  application. 

III.  How  to  calculate  the  amount  needed  and  allowed  by  law. — Read  care- 
fully section  4105. 

The  average  monthly  salaiy  of  white  teachers  in  the  State  for  1908  is  $32.24, 
and  the  average  monthly  salary  of  colored  teachers  is  $22.48.  The  maximum 
amount  that  any  white  school  with  one  teacher  can  be  allowed  for  teacher's 
salary  for  four  months  is,  therefore,  $128.96,  and  the  maximum  amount  that 
any  colored  school  with  one  teacher  can  be  allowed  for  teacher's  salary  for 
four  months  is,  therefore,  $89.92.  If  the  salary  actually  paid  the  white  or 
colored  teacher  is  less  than  the  above  amount,  the  amount  that  will  be  allowed 
for  teacher's  salary  can  easily  be  calculated  by  multiplying  the  monthly  salary 
actually  paid  the  white  or  colored  teacher  by  four.  Schools  with  an  enroll- 
ment of  70  and  over,  actually  employing  two  teachers,  are  entitled  to  salary 
for  two  teachers.  Schools  with  an  enrollment  of  105  and  over,  actually  em- 
ploying three  teachers,  are  entitled  to  salaiy  for  three  teachers,  and  for  one 
additional  teacher,  if  actually  employed,  for  not  less  than  every  35  pupils  en- 
rolled. In  no  instance  can  more  salary  than  the  above  maximum  fixed  by 
section  4105  of  the  law  be  allowed  for  any  teacher.  In  no  instance  can  more 
salary  than  is  actually  paid  be  allowed  for  any  teacher,  though  this  may  be 
less  than  this  maximum.  The  amount,  therefore,  to  which  any  scliool,  white 
or  colored,  actually  employing  more  than  one  teacher  is  entitled  for  teachers' 
salary  for  a  four-months  term  can  be  easily  calculated  by  multiplying  the 
salary  allowed  by  law  for  one  teacher  for  four  months,  as  explained  above,  by 
the  number  of  teachers  actually  employed  and  to  which  the  school  upon  its 
enrollment  is  actually  entitled. 

The  only  other  expenses  besides  teachers'  salary  that  will  be  allowed  any 
district  are  the  actual  incidental  expenses  incurred  and  paid,  which  must  be 
reported  separately,  and  can  never  exceed  for  any  school  the  maximum  of  $25 
for  expenses  and  repairs  for  the  four-months  term.  No  incidental  expenses 
should  be  reported  that  are  not  actually  incurred  and  paid.  Superintendents 
should  watch  these  incidental  expenses  and  should  allow  none  that  are  not 
absolutely  necessary. 

Having  calculated  in  this  way  the  maximum  amount  for  teachers'  salary 
and  expenses  which  will  be  allowed  to  any  school  under  the  law,  or  the 
amount  actually  spent  for  these  purposes,  provided  this  is  less  than  the  maxi- 
mum allowed,  it  will  be  easy  to  calculate  the  amoimt  to  wliich  the  district  is 
legally  entitled  out  of  the  second  hundred  thousand  dollars  for  a  four-months 


Circular-letters.  153 

term  by  subtracting  the  total  available  funds  placed  to  the  credit  of  this  dis- 
trict from  all  sources  for  this  school  year  as  reported  in  your  application. 

IV.  Available  funds. — Read  carefully  section  4100  of  the  law. 

Be  sure  to  include  in  availahle  funds  your  apportionment  from  the  first  hun- 
dred thousand  dollars,  ichich  'Will  he  sent  January,  1909,  and  tchich  can  he 
ascertained  by  multiplyiuf/  the  number  per  census  of  1907  by  $0.13912. 

Every  district  asking  aid  must  report  every  cent  apportioned  to  that  district 
from  all  school  funds,  State  and  county,  received  or  -to  be  received  from  all 
sources,  except  local  taxation,  during  the  entire  school  year  from  July  1,  1908, 
to  June  30,  1909,  it  matters  not  how  these  funds  or  any  part  of  them  may  have 
been  used,  whether  for  building,  equipment,  paying  larger  salaries  than  those 
mentioned  above,  or  any  other  purpose.  No  district  will  be  entitled  to  receive 
from  the  special  appropriation  one  cent  for  a  four-months  school  term,  even 
if  it  cannot  have  a  four-months  school,  if  its  total  apportionment  for  that 
school  year  from  all  sources,  including  the  first  hundred  thousand  dollars,  and 
all  taxes,  except  special  local  taxes,  paid  and  to  be  paid  for  that  year,  is  equal 
to  or  greater  than  the  amounts  allowed,  as  explained  above,  for  teachers' 
salary  and  actual  current  expenses.  No  part  of  the  second  hundred  thousand 
dollars  can  be  used  directly  or  indirectly  for  paying  for  buildings.  Any  dis- 
trict using  any  part  of  its  apportionment  for  this  purpose  must  report  every 
cent  so  used  as  available  funds. 

To  illustrate:  No  white  school  district  with  one  teacher  that  has  received 
or  will  receive  from  all  sources  during  the  school  year  ending  June  30,  1909, 
$128.96  plus  the  actual  current  expenses,  not  exceeding  in  any  case  $25,  will 
be  entitled  to  any  part  of  the  second  hundred  thousand  dollars.  No  colored 
school  district  with  one  teacher  that  has  received  or  will  receive  from  all 
sources  during  the  school  year  ending  June  30,  1909,  $89.92  plus  the  actual 
current  expenses,  not  exceeding  in  any  case  $25,  will  be  entitled  to  any  part 
of' the  second  hundred  thousand  dollars.  The  same  rule  will  apply  to  white 
and  colored  districts  entitled  under  the  law  to  more  than  one  t'eacher,  and  the 
amount  may  be  ascertained  by  multiplying  teacher's  salary  allowed  by  the 
number  of  teachers  allowed.  You  can  easily  ascertain  what  your  county  will 
receive  from  the  first  hundred  thousand  dollars  by  multiplying  the  whole  num- 
ber of  children  in  your  county  census  of  1907,  by  the  decimal  .13972. 

With  the  increase  in  taxable  property  and  in  the  assessment  thereof  in  every 
county  in  the  State,  the  legal  demands  for  aid  this  year  ought  not  to  be  so 
great  as  last  year,  and  will  not  be,  if  the  law  is  obeyed.  If  I  can  secure 
through  yom-  cooperation  a  strict  compliance  with  the  law,  I  believe  that  the 
appropriation  will  be  more  than  sufficient  for  all  legal  demands  this  year. 
Unless  I  can  secure  a  striQt  compliance  with  the  law  in  the  apportionment  of 
the  second  hundred  thousand  dollars,  there  is  great  danger  of  the  repeal  of 
the  law.  Vei-y  truly  yours,  J.  Y.  Joyner, 

Superintendent  of  Public  Instruction.

SEPARATE   ACCOUNT  OF   FUNDS    FOR    PUBLIC   HIGH   SCHOOL 

TO   BE    KEPT. 

Kaleigh,  November  18,  1908. 

To  the  Treasurer  of County: 

I  beg  to  call  your  attention  to  sections  7  and  5S  of  tlie  Public  High-school 
Law,  foimd  in  chapter  820  of  the  Public  Laws  of  1907.  You  will  observe  that 
each  of  these  districts  is  required  to  place  in  your  hands  a  sum  at  least  equal 
to  that  received  from  the  State.  In  some  of  these  districts  all  or  a  part  of 
this  sum  is  to  be  provided  out  of  the  funds  i-aised  by  local  taxation,  which  may 
not  have  been  collected.  In  such  cases  you  should  have  on  file  a  certificate 
from  the  committee  from  the  district,  stating  that  the  amount  required  has 
been  apportioned  to  be  turned  over  to  you  as  soon  as  collected. 

Do  not  pay  out  any  part  of  the  higli-school  fund  sent  by  the  State  for  any 
district  until  the  funds  required  of  the  district  have  been  placed  in  your  hands, 
or  until  you.  are  so  certain  that  they  will  be  collected  and  paid  to  you  out  of 
the  special-tax  fimd  by  the  proper  officer  that  you  are  willing  to  become  re- 
sponsible for  the  entire  amount,  as  you  will  be  required  to  account  for  the 
whole  sum  received  from  the  State  and  required  of  the  district. 

You  will  observe,  also,  that,  under  the  rules  adopted  by  the  State  Board  of 
Education,  the  Board  of  Education  of  your  county,  unless  it  receives  aid  from 
the  second  hundred  thousand  dollars,  is  required  to  apiiortiou  to  each  of  the 
districts  named  an  amount  equal  to  that  apportioned  by  the  State,  and  that 
you  are  responsible  for  this  amount  also. 

The  high-school  fund  of  each  district  must  bo  paid  out  crrlusiveli/  for  the 
support  of  the  high  school.  This  means  pay  to  teachers  for  high-school  in- 
struction and  not  for  elementaiy  instruction.  A  proportionate  share  of  current 
expenses  for  janitor  and  fuel  may  be  ijaid  out  of  this  fund ;  that  is.  if  the  high 
school  occupies  one  room  of  a  three-room  building  its  part  of  current  expenses 
would  not  exceed  one-third  the  curi'eut  expenses  of  the  school. 

The  payment  of  any  part  of  thh  fund  for  any  other  purpose  u-ould  be  a  mis- 
uppropriation  of  the  funds,  for  irh'ieh  the  Count ii  Treasurer  and  his  hond 
would  he  Uahle. 

Keep  a  separate  account  of  the  high-school  fund  from  all  other  public  school 
funds,  so  you  will  have  no  trouble  at  the  end  of  the  school  year  to  make  a 
separate  and  distinct  reix)rt  of  all  the  receipts  and  disbursements  of  funds  for 
high-school  purposes  in  your  county.  Very  truly, 

J.  Y.   JOYNEE.

BOYS'   CORN   CLUBS— WORK  OF  STATE   DEPARTMENT  OF 

AGRICULTURE. 

rn    ^1     /I,      ,     V.  *      ;     *  Raleigh,  Jauuarv  9,  1909. 

To  the  Count!/  Superintendent.  ' 

My  dear  Sib  : — I  beg  to  ask  your  most  careful  consideration  of  the  following 
letter  of  Mr.  T.  B.  Parker,  and  to  commend  most  heartily  his  plan  for  the 
organization  of  "Corn  Clubs  for  Boys." 

I  am  sure  that  every  county  superintendent  will  appreciate  the  value  of  this 
work  and  will  avail  himself  of  the  kind  offer  of  the  State  Department  of  Agri-

culture  to  reucli  the  boys  of  the  State  aud  interest  them  in  this  practical  waj- 
in  the  most  important  of  all  subjects  to  farmers'  boys.  I  shall  give  the  move- 
ment my  cordial  and  hearty  support,  and  I  bespeak  the  active  interest  and 
hearty  cooperation  of  every  county  superintendent  with  Mr.  Parker  and  the 
State  Department  of  Agriculture.  I  will  thank  you  to  interest  yourself  actively 
in  bringing  this  to  the  attention  of  all  the  teachers  of  the  public  schools  of 
your  county  and,  through  them,  the  pupils  of  those  schools  and  their  parents. 

Very  truly  yours,  J.  Y.  Joyner,

JA:TTFAI  of  T.  B.  PAKKER,  DEMONSTPtATOR— premiums 
TO  BOYS'  CORN  CLUBS. 

ItALEiGH,  January  14,  1909. 

Dear  Sir  : — At  the  December  meeting  of  the  State  Board  of 
Agriculture  I  secured  an  appropriation  of  $100  to  be  given  as  pre- 
miums in  a  Boys'  Corn-growing  Contest. 

Corn  clubs  for  boys  have  been  formed  in  several  States  and  are 
interesting  them  in  agricultm'e  in  a  very  marked  degree.  In  this 
State  I  have  deemed  it  advisable  to  take  up  the  work  in  coopera- 
tion with  the  County  Superintendents  of  Public  Instruction.  In 
this  way  I  hope  to  reach  the  boys  of  the  State.  As  agriculture  is 
to  be  taught  in  the  public  schools,  anything  practical  along  this 
line  that  is  calculated  to  awaken  an  interest  in  our  boys  will  be 
of  Interest  to  you  and  to  the  teachers  in  your  county. 

The  $100  is  a  mere  bagatelle  when  compared  with  the  results 
we  are  hoping  to  obtain  from  this  work.  It  is  merely  a  starting 
point  to  the  work.  The  $100  is  to  be  divided  into  three  premiums 
for  the  three  boys  in  the  State  who  make  the  most  bushels  of  corn 
on  an  acre  of  land.  So  you  see  there  can  be  only  three  boys  in 
the  State  who  can  procure  those  premiums.  But  we  are  wanting 
the  Superintendent  of  Public  Instruction  in  each  county  to  solicit 
donations  from  bankers,  merchants,  manufacturers,  professional 
men.  and  all  public-spirited  people,  aud  procure  a  f\uid  for  pre- 
miums to  be  awarded  to  boys  of  that  county  regardless  of  whether 
they  secure  our  prizes  or  not.  One  county  in  Mississippi  last  year, 
raised  for  premiums  for  boys  of  that  county  nearly  .$500  in  cash, 
merchandise,  etc.,  which  was  divided  into  a  dozen  or  more  pre- 
miums covering  both  corn  aud  cotton  crops.  The  amomit  you 
raise  in  your  coimty  can  be  ai)plied  to  corn  and  other  crops  if  you 
and  the  contributors  think  best.  Full  details  as  to  this  can  be 
worked  out  later. 

Each  contestant  will  be  required  to  sign  a  form  which  will  be 
sent  to  you  when  we  ascertain  how  many  boys  in  your  covinty  will 
enter  the  contest. 

Two  years  ago  there  were  in  some  Western  States  as  many  as 
10,000  boys  contesting  for  premiums.  Think  of  what  it  means 
to  a  State  when  that  number  of  boys  become  interested  in  agri- 
culture and  in  better  methods  of  farming. 

Regulations  governing  the  contest  will  be  about  as  follows  :  The 
contestant  must  be  between  12  and  17  years  of  age  and  live  on  the 
farm.  He  must  cidtivate  one  acre  in  corn,  doing  all  the  work 
himself,  except  he  may  have  help  in  gathering  the  crop.  That 
acre  must  be  land  that  has  never  ])roduced  more  than  .35  bushels 
of  shelled  corn,  and  would  not  make  more  than  that  quantity  at 
this  time.  There  must  not  be  more  than  $10  worth  of  commercial 
fertilizers  used  on  the  acre,  cotton  seed  and  cotton-seed  meal  to  be 
considered  as  commercial  fertilizers.  All  the  stable,  lot,  or  other 
home-gathered  manure  may  be  used  that  is  available.     The  acre 


156  Circular-letters. 


can  be  in  any  part  of  the  field.  The  crop  must  be  gathered  and 
measured  or  weighed  in  the  presence  of  such  witnesses  as  you 
select. 

We  are  hoping  to  continue  this  worli ;  therefore,  the  contestants 
can  use  the  same  acre  of  land  for  contesting  for  the  premium  next 
year,  and  afterward,  if  he  continues  to  contest  for  the  premiums. 
I  make  this  statement  as  an  inducement  for  them  to  improve  that 
acre  by  growing  peas,  clover,  etc.,  on  it.  or  improving  it  in  any 
way  they  may  prefer.  I  should  also  be  glad  if  the  parents  would 
give  the  boys  the  crops  they  grow  on  the  acre  in  these  contests. 
That  would  be  a  stimulus  to  the  boys  in  better  farming. 

I  am  sure  you  will  appreciate  the  good  results  that  will  come 
from  this  movement,  and  hope  you  will  take  hold  of  the  work 
with  a  determination  to  have  as  many  boys  in  your  county  inter- 
ested as  there  will  be  in  any  other  county. 

By  taking  this  up  with  your  County  Board  of  Education  and 
your  township  committeemen  you  can  give  the  work  an  immediate 
impetus  that  will  be  very  helpful  to  you. 

It  might  be  well  for  you  to  ask  your  Board  of  County  Com- 
missioners for  an   appropriation   for  the  work  in  your   county. 

This  Department  will  be  glad  to  furnish  information  as  to 
methods  of  cultivation,  fertilizers,  etc.,  or  help  the  boys  in  any  way 
we  can. 

Permit  me  also  to  suggest  that  you  attend  the  Farmers'  Insti- 
tutes that  will  be  held  in  your  county  and  get  as  many  of  the  boys 
to  attend  as  you  can  and  have  them  ask  the  institute  speakers  ques- 
tions when  discussing  topics  in  which  they  are  interested.  This 
will  be  good  for  the  boys  and  will  likewise  encourage  the  insti- 
tute worker. 

I  shall  be  pleased  to  hear  from  you  promptly  as  to  the  pros- 
pects of  getting  a  number  of  boys  interested  in  this  work  in  your 
county. 

With  a  desire  to  help  the  boys,  I  am. 

Yours  very  truly,  T.  B.  Parker, 

Demonstrator. 


SCALING  APPLICATIONS  FOR  AID  FROM   SECOND  $100,000. 

To  the  county  Superintendent.  Raleigh,  February  6,  1909. 

Dear  Sir  : — In  order  to  bring  the  applications  for  aid  from  the  second  hun- 
dred thousand  dollars  within  the  appropriation,  the  State  Board  of  Educa- 
tion first  scaled  all  incidental  expenses  50  per  cent,  and  then  applied  the  fol- 
lowing I'ate  of  scaling  to  the  other  amounts  asked : 

Applications  from  $1,000  to  $2,000  were  scaled  10  per  cent. 
Applications  from  2,000  to  3,000  were  scaled  16%  per  cent. 
Applications  from  3,000  to  4.000  were  scaled  20  per  cent. 
Applications  from  4,000  to  5,000  were  scaled  25  per  cent. 
Applications  of         5,000  and  over  were  sealed  33%  per  cent. 

AH  applications  for  less  than  $1,000  were  granted  without  scaling. 

It  was  found  necessary  to  further  scale  all  applications  for  $3,000  or  more 
an  additional  10  per  cent.  After  this  was  done,  it  was  found  that  the  scaled 
applications  still  lacked  $251.78  of  coming  within  the  appropriation  of  $92,-500. 
(The  appropriation  of  $7,500  for  rural  libraries  has  to  be  deducted  from  this 
appropriation  for  this  year.)  This  excess  of  $251.78  was  deducted  from  the 
applications  for  $2,000  or  more. 


CiRCULAK-LETTERS.  157 

By  applying  these  per  cents  of  scaling  to^  your  application,  a  copy  of  which 
you  were  requested  to  file  in  your  office,  you  can  easily  calculate  the  amount 
that  each  district  applying  will  receive  for  incidental  expenses  and  teachers' 
salaries.  Please  notify  the  respective  districts  at  once  how  much  they  will 
receive,  so  that  they  may  know  how  long  to  continue  their  schools. 

The  requisition  from  this  office  upon  the  State  Auditor  for  $ ,  your 

county's  apportionment,  has  been  issued  and  filed  in  his  office,  and  the  warrant 
will  be  sent  as  soon  as  it  can  be  obtained  from  him. 

Very  truly  yours,  J.  Y.  Joyneb, 

Superintendent  of  PuMic  Instruction. 


WOMAN'S  BETTERMENT  ASSOCIATION— FU  NDS   FOR  SUPPORT. 

To  the  County  Superintendent.  Raleigh,  March  18,  1909. 

Dear  Sm : — You  will  recall  that  at  the  annual  meeting  of  the  State  Associa- 
tion the  county  superintendents  promised  to  aid  the  women  of  the  Betterment 
Associations  in  their  respective  counties  to  raise  .$500  for  the  State  better- 
ment work.  For  this  work  .$500  was  promised  by  the  campaign  committee  of 
the  Southern  Educational  Board  and  $500  by  the  Peabody  Board,  conditioned 
upon  the  raising  of  $500  by  the  women  of  the  Betterment  Association. 

The  $500  from  the  campaign  fund  has  been  spent  in  defraying  the  expenses 
of  cari*ying  on  this  work.  The  field  secretary,  Mrs.  Charles  D.  Mclver,  has 
been  giving  her  entire  time  to  the  work  since  last  September  at  a  small  salary. 
and  she  has  done  excellent  work.  The  funds,  however,  are  exhausted.  The 
money  from  the  Peabody  Fund  wall  not  be  available  until  the  $500  promised 
by  the  Betterment  Association  is  raised,  and  this  valuable  and  necessaiy  work 
for  the  improvement  of  our  public  schools  must  be  abandoned  unless  the 
women  and  the  county  superintendents  come  to  the  rescue  at  once  by  raising 
the  sum  required  of  them. 

It  ought  to  be  easy  to  raise  $10  for  this  work  in  each  of  the  larger  counties 
and  $5  in  each  of  the  smaller  counties.  I  have  never  called  in  vain  upon  my 
coworkers,  the  county  superintendents,  in  an  emergency.  This  is  a  serious 
emergency  in  an  important  work,  and  I  appeal  to  you,  in  the  name  of  our 
common  cause,  to  take  active  steps  at  once  to  interest  your  women,  especially 
the  members  of  your  county  and  local  Betterment  Associations,  if  there  be 
such  associations  in  your  county,  in  helping  to  raise  this  amount. 

Kindly  send  the  amount  raised  to  Mr.  C.  H.  Mebane,  Secretary  of  the  Cam- 
paign Committee.  Raleigh,  N.  C. 

The  field  secretary,  Mrs.  Charles  D.  Mclver,  will  be  glad  to  render  you  any 
assistance  in  her  power  in  the  organization  and  direction  of  the  betterment 
work  in  your  county,  if  you  will  communicate  with  her  at  Greensboro,  N.  C. 

Very  truly  yours,  J.  Y.  .Toynee, 

Superintendent  of  Pul^lic  Instruction.

CAMPAIGN   FOR  LOCAL  TAX. 

To  the  County  Superintendent:  Raleigh,  March  23,   llXiO. 

It  is  the  desire  of  the  Educational  Campaigu  Committee  to  do  as  much  sys- 
tematic, effective  work  for  local  taxation  as  possible  between  now  and  the  first 
Monday  in  June,  when  the  tax  levies  for  the  year  are  made  by  the  county 
commissioners  of  the  respective  counties  of  the  State. 

In  order  that  we  may  accomplish  the  most  possible  within  the  next  sixty- 
five  or  seventy  days,  it  will  be  of  great  value  to  us  if  you  will  give  us  the 
following  information  relative  to  the  work  in  your  county  : 

First.  How  many  districts  have  you  in  which  there  is  a  probability  of  carry- 
ing local  tax  this  spring? 

Second.  About  what  dates  would  it  be  best  to  have  public  meetings  in  these 
districts  in  the  interest  of  the  local  tax? 

Third.  Name  some  two  or  three  men  who,  in  your  opinion,  could  do  the 
cause  the  most  good  among  your  people. 

We  wish  to  call  your  attention  to  the  fact  that,  if  the  election  is  not  called 
in  time  to  have  levy  made  the  first  INIonday  in  .June  of  this  year,  the  tax 
cannot  be  levied  until  the  first  Monday  in  June,  1910. 

Remember  that  thirty  days'  public  notice  is  required  before  an  election  can 
be  held.  The  regular  meetings  of  the  County  Board  of  Commissioners  at 
which  elections  can  be  ordered  in  time  for  special  tax  to  be  levied  this  year 
are  April  5th  and  May  3d. 

If  an  election  is  ordei-ed  later  than  May  3d  the  tax  levy  cannot  be  made 
until  June,  1910,  unless  a  called  meeting  of  the  County  Board  of  Commission- 
ers is  held  so  as  to  give  thirty  days'  public  notice  before  June  7th.  which  is 
the  date  the  special-tax  levies  for  the  fiscal  year  will  be  made. 

We  send  you  some  blank  petitions  for  elections  and  some  blank  returns 
under  section  4115  of  the  Public  School  Law,  and  will  gladly  furnish  any 
additional  number  desired.  Very  truly  yours,

ESTIMATE   OF   FUNDS    NEEDED  TO    PROVIDE    FOUR-MONTHS   TERM- 
NEW    METHOD   OF   APPORTIONING   SECOND  $100,000. 

Raleigh,  April  19,  1909. 

To  the  County  Superintendent  and  the  County  Board  of  Education. 

Gentlemen  : — I  am  sending  you  blanlvs  for  the  itemized  statement  to  be 
submitted  by  the  County  Board  of  Education  to  the  Board  of  County  Commis- 
sioners of  your  county  on  the  first  ^Monday  of  June.  1909,  in  accordance  with 
Uie  act  of  the  General  Assembly  of  1909.  repealing  sections  4099  to  410G  and 
section  4112  of  the  Public  School  Law  and  providing  for  a  more  equitable 
apportionment  of  the  second  hundred  thousand  dollars  and  the  levying  of  a 
special  tax  for  the  maintenance  of  one  or  more  public  schools  in  every  school 
district  for  a  term  of  four  months  in  each  year.  These  blanks  have  been  pre- 
pared in  accordance  with  the  act.  and  you  will  find  attached  to  them  a  copy 
of  the  act  and  some  general  directions  and  explanations.  Please  read  these 
carefully  before  filling,  the  blanks.  Three  copies  of  the  statement  should  be 
prepared,  one  to  be  submitted  to  the  Board  of  County  Commissioners,  one  to 
be  filed  in  the  office  of  the  County  Superintendent  and  County  Board  of  Edu- 
cation and  one  to  be  sent  to  the  State  Superintendent  of  Public  Instruction  for 
his  information  in  ap])ortioning  the  second  hundred  thousand  dollars  in  .Tanu- 
ary,  1910.  The  blanks,  the  law,  and  the  printed  directions  are  sufficient  for 
your  guidance  In  correctly  preparing  the  required  statement. 

Please  prepare  carefully  this  statement  as  soon  as  possible  and  submit  it 
without  fail  on  the  first  Monday  of  .Tune  to  the  Board  of  County  Commission- 
ers, demanding  of  that  board  the  levying  of  the  special  tax  required  by  the 
act  to  raise  the  county's  part  of  the  additional  funds  ascertained  to  be  needed 
to  maintain  a  four-months  school  in  eveiy  district  of  your  county  for  the  year 
beginning  July  1.  1909,  and  ending  June  P,0.  1910.  Tinder  the  act  of  1909  and 
under  Article  IX,  section  P,.  of  the  Constitution,  as  construed  by  the  Supreme 
Coiu't  of  North  Carolina  in  the  case  of  Collie  v.  Commissioners  of  Franklin 
County  (145  N.  C.  Reports,  page  170),  the  commissioners  are  required  to  levy 
this  tax.  The  method  of  procedure  and  the  duty  of  the  County  Board  of  Edu- 
cation in  case  of  a  disagreement  as  to  the  amoimt  needed  and  the  rate  of  tax 
to  be  levied  are  prescribed  in  section  1  of  the  act.  I  sincerely  trust,  however, 
that  the  statement  submitted  by  the  County  Board  of  Education  will  be  so 
full,  coniplete.  accurate,  conservative,  and  reasonable  that  there  will  be  no 
just  cause  for  a  disagreement,  and  that  the  Board  of  County  Commissioners 
will  levy  the  necessary  tax  and  coJiperate  heartily  in  carrying  out  the  law 
and  the  Constitution,  and  providing  an  efficient  school  in  every  district  for 
four  months.  There  ought  to  be  the  heartiest  cooperation  between  the  County 
Board  of  Education  and  the  Board  of  County  Commissioners  in  securing  as 
economically  as  possible  the  most  efficient  system  of  public  schools  for  their 


160  ClKCIJLAE-LETTERS. 

county  for  at  least  four  months,  in  obedience  to  tlie  law  and  the  Constitution, 
and  in  the  performance  of  their  joint  duty  for  the  advancement  of  the  best 
interest  of  their  county. 

Your  estimate  of  necessary  expenses  for  the  maintenance  of  oue  or  moi-e 
public  schools  in  each  school  district  for  four  months  should  be  as  conservative 
and  as  economical  as  is  consistent  with  the  actual  educational  needs  of  the 
school  districts,  and  with  the  actual  educational  demands  of  civilization  and 
of  this  age.  Here  are  some  of  the  necessary  expenses  for  the  proper  main- 
tenance of  a  public  school  that  your  board  should  consider  conservatively  in 
making  its  estimate: 

1.  A  suitable  house  icith  respectaNe  equipment  in  evertj  district.  For  this 
purpose  set  aside  in  your  estimate,  if  necessary,  the  entii'e  amount  allowed  by 
section  4116  of  the  Public  School  Law  for  building  and  repairing  schoolhouses 
and  other  equipment.  You  will  observe  that  the  law  reasonably  limits  the 
proportion  of  the  school  fund  that  may  be  annually  used  for  these  purposes. 

2.  Reasonably  efficient  supervision.  It  the  salary  now  paid  your  County 
Superintendent  is  insufficient  to  employ  a  thoroughly  competent  man  to  devote 
enough  of  his  time  properly  to  supervise,  direct,  and  visit  the  public  schools, 
you  can  and  ought  to  include  in  your  estimate  a  sufficient  salary  to  employ 
such  a  man  and  provide  such  supervision.  The  Public  School  Law  requires  a 
county  siiperintendent  who  shall  supervise  and  visit  the  public  schools ;  there- 
fore, this  is  a  reasonable  part  of  the  necessary  expense  required  by  law  for  the 
proper  maintenance  of  one  or  more  schools  in  each  school  district  for  at  least 
four  months. 

3.  Properly  qualified  teachers  and  enough  of  them  to  do  thorough  tcorJc  in 
branches  required  to  be  taught  in  public  schools.  Under  the  law  the  Board 
of  Education  is  required  to  fix  and  report  the  number  of  teachers  necessary  for 
each  school  in  each  school  district  and  the  salary  of  each  teacher.  In  fixing 
such  salary  the  board  should  have  due  regard  for  the  grade  of  work  to  be 
done  and  the  qualifications  of  the  teacher  necessary  to  do  this  work,  and 
should  fix  a  salary  sufficient  to  command  a  competent  teacher.  A  school  can 
be  no  better  than  the  teacher.  As  explained  in  the  directions  attached  to  the 
blanks,  the  board  will  not  be  limited  in  fixing  salaries  of  individual  teachers  to 
the  average  salary  o"f  white  and  colored  teachers  for  the  State  as  under  the 
old  law  for  the  apportionment  of  the  second  hundred  thousand  dollars.  The 
average  of  salaries  of  all  teachers  of  the  county,  of  course,  cannot  exceed  the 
average  salaiy  of  the  State,  but  the  best  teachers  may  be  paid  more  and  the 
poor  teachers  less  than  this  average.  This  opens  the  way  for  strengthening 
the  teaching  force  and  for  preventing  the  best  teachers  from  leaving  the  weak 
counties  for  better  salaries  in  the  strong  counties.  Where  the  crowded  condi- 
tion of  the  schools  demands  additional  teachers  the  board  can  provide  in  its 
estimate  of  the  number  of  teachers  needed  a  sufiicient  number  to  do  thorough 
and  satisfactor.v  work  in  every  school. 

4.  Reasonable  incidental  expenses,  such  as  fuel,  stoves,  buclets,  etc.  Ex- 
travagance in  incidental  expenses,  however,  should  be  carefully  guarded 
against,  and  a  careful  estimate  of  these  for  each  district  should  be  made  by 
the  coimty  board  in  the  budget  of  expenses. 

The  Coimty  Superintendent  should  have  all  necessary  information  ready  to 
submit  to  the  County  Board  of  Education  on  the  first  Monday  of  May,  and  the 
estimate  should  be  prepared  and  passed  upon  at  that  time  or  as  early  there- 
after as  possible.     If  necessary,  of  course,  the  board  could  call  a  meeting  for 


CiRCULAB-LETTERS.  161 

this  important  matter.  You  understand,  of  coui'se,  that  the  necessary  levy 
must  be  made  by  the  commissioners  on  tbe  first  Monday  of  June  to  be  avail- 
able tbis  year.  You  miderstand.  also,  that  under  section  3  of  tbe  act  your 
county  will  receive  no  aid  from  tbe  second  hundred  thousand  dollars  unless  tbe 
special  tax  required  by  tbe  act  is  levied  by  the  commissioners. 

Patience,  persuasion,  and  persistence  will  perfect  at  last  our  school  system. 
We  must  be  content,  however,  with  gradual  but  continuous  progress  in  tbe 
right  direction.  Properly  enforced,  this  law  opens  the  way  for  great  improve- 
ment in  the  public  schools  in  the  counties  where  tbe  need  is  greatest  and  for 
providing  in  every  district  for  at  least  four  months  in  every  year  the  right 
sort  of  a  school,  with  the  right  sort  of  house,  tbe  right  sort  of  teachers  and  the 
right  sort  of  supervision.  Very  truly  yours, 

J.   Y.   JOYNER, 

Superintendent  of  Public  Instruction. 


IN   REGARD  TO  SPECIAL  COUNTY  TAX  LEVY   FOR  FOUR-MONTHS 

TERM. 

Raleigh,  April  2G.  1909. 

To  tJie  Chairman  of  the  County  Board,  of  Commissioners. 

Dear  Sir: — I  enclose  a  copy  of  the  blank  for  the  itemized  statement  of 
school  receipts  and  expenses  required  to  be  submitted  by  the  County  Board  of 
Education  to  your  board  as  a  basis  for  the  levying  of  the  special  tax  to  pro- 
vide a  four-months  school  in  every  district  in  your  county,  in  accordance  with 
the  special  act  of  the  General  Assembly  of  1909  and  in  fulfillment  of  tbe  re- 
quirement of  Article  IX,  section  3,  of  the  Constitution  of  North  Carolina.  I 
enclose,  also,  a  copy  of  my  letter  to  the  County  Superintendent  and  the  County 
Board  of  Education  in  regard  to  the  preparation  of  this  statement.  Examine 
tins  blank  and  read  carefully  the  letter.  I  beg  the  hearty  cooperation  of  your 
board  with  the  County  Board  of  Education  in  securing  as  economically  as  pos- 
sible the  best  possible  public  school  in  every  school  district  of  your  county. 

I  beg  to  call  your  attention  to  the  act  of  the  General  Assembly  of  1909,  under 
which  this  estimate  is  made  and  this  tax  is  required  to  be  levied,  on  pages  43 
and  44  of  the  enclosed  blank.  As  guardians  of  the  public  interest,  the  Board 
of  County  Commissioners  ought  to  be  and  will  be,  I  believe,  equally  interested 
with  the  County  Board  of  Education  in  providing  the  best  schools  that  the 
county  is  able  to  afford  for  at  least  four  months  in  every  school  district ;  and 
the  County  Board  of  Education  ought  to  be  and  will  be,  I  believe,  equally  in- 
terested with  the  Board  of  County  Commissioners  in  securing  those  schools 
as  economically  as  is  consistent  with  the  requirements  of  thorough  instruc- 
tion, good  equipment,  and  efficient  supervision.  It  is  my  earnest  hope  and  my 
confident  belief,  therefore,  that  there  will  be  the  heartiest  cooperation  between 
these  two  boards  in  the  enforcement  of  this  law. 

I  will  thank  you  to  lay  this  letter  and  its  enclosures  before  your  Board  of 
Coimty  Commissioners  at  its  next  regular  meeting. 

Very  truly  yours,  J.  Y.  Joyner, 

Superintendent  of  Piihlic  Inniruction.

NOTICE  OF  SPECIAL  COUNTY  TAX   LEVY. 

rr    *i     tij*^  Raleigh,  May  18,  1909. 

To  the  Editor.  ' 

Dear  Sir: — If  you  will  publis^b  the  followinjj:  notice  iu  your  paper,  you  will 
confer  a  favor  upon  me  and  rentier  a  service  to  the  cause  of  edueatiou  iu  your 
county.  It  is  a  very  important  matter,  that  should  not  be  overlooked  on  the 
third  Monday  in  .June,  as  that  is  the  only  time  in-ovided  by  law  for  the  levy- 
ing of  taxes,  and  unless  the  tax  is  levied  at  that  time  the  means  cannot  be 
provided  for  a  four-months  term  in  your  ]niblic  schools  this  year,  as  no  other 
tax  can  be  levied  until  June.  1910.  Very  truly  yours, 

J.   Y.  JOYNER, 

Superintendent  of  Fuhlic  Instniction: 

SPECIAL  COUNTY  TAX  LEVY. 

The  attention  <it  the  people  of  the  county,  the  County  Board  of  Education, 
and  the  Covmty  Commissioners  is  calle<l  to  the  fact  that  the  counties  hex-eto- 
fore  receiving  aid  from  the  second  hundred  thousand  dollars  for  a  four-months 
school  term  cannot  hereafter  receive  any  part  of  that  State  appropriation 
unless  the  County  Commissioners,  on  the  tirst  Monday  in  June,  levy  a  special 
tax  on  all  taxable  property  and  polls  of  the  county,  in  addition  to  the  ref,'ular 
school  tax,  sufficient  to  raise  one-half  of  the  additional  amount  needed  to  pro- 
vide a  full  four-months  term  iu  every  school  district;  and  no  county  will  re- 
ceive from  the  second  hundred  thousand  dollars  for  this  purpost^  more  than 
it  raises  by  this  special  tax,  except  the  counties  that  levy  the  maximum  special 
tax  of  5  cents  on  the  $100  valuation  of  jiroperty  and  1.")  cents  on  the  poll. 
The  counties  levying  this  maximum  special  tax  will  then  receive  from  the 
second  hundred  thousand  dollars  all  the  l)alance  needed  for  ;i  full  four-months 
term  in  every  district,  even  though  the  special  tax  does  not  provide-  one-half 
the  amount  needed. 

The  law  as  amended  by  the  General  Assembly  of  1909  requires  the  County 
Board  of  Education  to  submit  to  the  County  Commissioners  on  the  tirst  Mon- 
day in  June  a  carefully  itemized  statement  of  the  expenses  of  a  four-months 
school  iu  every  school  district  of  the  county  and  a  carefully  itemized  estimate 
of  the  receipts  from 'the  regular  school  tax  of  is  cents  on  the  .$100  valuation  of 
property,  from  fines,  forfeitures,  penalties,  and  all  other  sources,  showing  the 
deticit  needeiT  to  provide  a  full  four-months  term  in  every  school  district ;  and 
the  conunissioners  are  required  to  levy  a  sufficient  tax  on  all  property  and  polls 
of  the  county  to  ])rovide  one-half  of  this  deficit  up  to  the  maximum  of  5  cents 
on  the  .$100  valuation  of  property  and  1.1  cents  on  the  poll,  the  other  part  of 
the  deficit  to  be  supplied  out  of  the  State  appropriation  known  as  the  second 
hundred  thousand  dollars. 

The  new  law  encourages  self-help  and  economy,  and  absolutely  guarantees 
a  full  four-months  term  in  every  school  district  without  any  scaling,  as  has 
been  necessary  heretofore  on  account  of  the  excess  of  the  demauds  over  the 
appropriation  for  a  four-mouths  school.  This  guarautees  the  people  of  these 
counties  a  better  school  and  a  longer  term  than  they  have  ever  had  before. 
We  are  calling  attention  to  the  matter  now,  that  the  County  Board  of  Educa- 
tion and  the  Board  of  County  Commissioners  may  not  overlook  it  on  the  first 
Monday  iu  June.  The  county  that  fails  to  conform  to  the  law  and  secure  the 
State  appropriation  by  levying  this  snuill  necessary  special  tax  for  better 
schools  and  longer  terms  will  hear  from  the  people.

SPECIAL  COUNTY  TAX  LEVY  ON   POLL  IN  EXCESS  OF  TWO  DOLLARS. 

To  the  Count,,  XuiK'rintoulent.  Raleigh,  Juue  4,  1001). 

Dear  Sik  : — As  there  still  seems  to  be  some  doubt  in  the  minds  of  some  as 
to  the  levying  of  an  additional  special  tax  on  the  polls  in  excess  of  $2  for  a^ 
four-months  school  term,  in  accordance  with  section  4112  as  amended  by  the 
General  Assembly  of  1900,  I  send  you  a  copy  of  the  official  opinion  of  the 
Attorney-General,  that  you  may  lay  it  before  the  County  Commissioners  next 
Mcniday,  in  case  the  ([uestion  should  be  raised,  and  see  that  this  poll  tax  is 
levied.  The  failure  to  levy  the  tax  on  the  polls  as  well  as  on  the  property,  in 
case  the  Attorney-General  is  correct  as  to  the  duty  of  the  Commissioners  to 
levy  it,  would,  it  seems  to  me,  preA-ent  the  county  from  receiving  aid  from  the 
second  hundred  thousand  dollars,  under  section  4112  and  sections  4099-4105,  as 
amended  by  tlie  General  Assembly  of  1909.

LETTER  OF  ATTORNEY-GENERAL. 

Hon.  J.  Y.  Joyner,  Raleigh,  June  4,  1909. 

Superintendent  of  Public  Instruction, 

Raleigh,  N.  C. 

Dear  Sir: — Answering  your  recent  inquiry  as  to  whether,  if  a  poll  tax  is 
already  $2,  County  Conunissioners  can  levy  more  if  the  present  tax  is  not  suf- 
ficient to  support  a  four-months  school  in  the  year. 

In  the  case  of  Collie  v.  Conunissioners,  14.j  N.  (\.  170,  the  Court  holds  that 
if  the  tax  levied  by  the  State  for  the  support  of  the  public  schools  is  insufficient 
to  enable  the  commissioners  of  each  county  to  comply  with  the  law  requiring 
a  four-months  scIkjoI,  they  shall  levy  annually  a  special  tax  to  supply  the 
deficiency,  and  such  levy  is  constitutional  and  valid,  though  exceeding  the  limi- 
tations of  Article  V,  and  in  levying  the  tax  the  Board  of  Commissioners  nnist 
observe  the  equation  between  projierty  and  poll  tixed  in  the  Constitution. 

This  seems  to  make  it  very  plain.  It  is  said,  though,  by  Justice  Connor,  in 
writing  the  opinion  in  Railroad  v.  Conunissioners,  148  N.  C,  220,  at  page  245: 
"That  the  last  clause  in  section  1.  Article  V,  'that  the  State  and  county  capita- 
tion tax  combined  shall  never  exceed  $2  on  the  head.'  is  imperative,  and  pro- 
hibits the  levy  of  any  tax  upon  tlie  poll  for  any  purpose  in  excess  of  that  sum." 

This  is  in  contlict  with  the  case  above  citetl,  but  it  seems  to  be  more  in  the 
nature  of  a  dictum  than  a  decision  of  a  point  in  the  case. 

The  question  before  us  was  not  presente<l  in  that  case.  That  being  true,  I 
am  of  the  opinion  that  the  Court  would  hold  that  tlie  case  of  Collie  v.  Commis- 
sioners is  the  law,  and  that  Railroad  v.  Conunissioners  does  not  overrule  it. 

It  seems  that  the  Legislature,  by  section  4112  of  the  Revisal,  as  amended  by 
Laws  of  1909,  has  put  the  same  construction  upon  the  Constitution  as  was 
found  in  Collie  v.  Commissioners  as  ajbove.  The  statute  provides  in  effect  that 
if  the  amount  of  revenue  raised  is  less  than  the  amount  needed  for  schools, 
then  it  shall  be  the  duty  of  the  Board  of  County  Commissioners  to  levy  a 
special  tax  on  all  property  and  i)()lls  in  said  county  to  supply  one-half  the 
deficiency  for  the  support  and  maintenance  of  the  public  schools  of  such  county 
for  four  months.  This  being  a  special  act  of  the  Legislature,  it  is  my  opinion 
that  it  would  take  precedence  over  any  general  statute.     It  is  in  the  nature  of 


164:  ClKCULAR-LETTEKS. 

a  State  tax,  and  the  County  Commissioners  are  required  to  levy  and  collect  it 
as  other  State  taxes,  after  which  it  is  their  duty  to  raise  other  county  taxes  as 
directed  by  and  under  the  regulations  of  the  Constitution  and  statutes.

EXAMINATION  FOR  FIVE-YEAR  STATE  TEACHER'S  CERTIFICATE  AND 
FOR   HIGH-SCHOOL  TEACHER'S   CERTIFICATE. 

„     .,     ^        ,     „         •  ^      1     J.  Raleigh.  June  11,  1909. 

To  the  County  Superintendent. 

Deak  Sir: — The  State  examination  for  the  High-school  Teacher's  Certificate 
and  for  the  Five-year  State  Teacher's  Certificate  will  be  held  July  8  and  9, 
1909.  By  order  of  the  State  Board  of  Examiners  no  other  examination  for 
these  certificates  will  be  held  during  the  year,  or  upon  any  other  dates  except 
those  named  above,  in  any  county.  You  will,  therefore,  realize  the  importance 
of  arranging  to  hold  the  examination  in  your  county  on  these  dates  and  of 
notifying  all  applicants  for  these  certificates  that  no  other  opportunity  will  be 
offered  during  the  year  except  on  the  dates  named. 

If  for  any  reason  you  find  it  convenient  to  change  your  date  for  holding 
your  regular  examination  for  county  certificates,  do  not  fail  to  hold  these 
examinations  for  State  certificates  on  July  Sth  and  9th. 

I  enclose  a  copy  of  "Directions  to  Applicants."  Please  give  notice  in  ample 
time  through  your  county  paper  of  these  examinations  and  of  the  conditions 
thereof.  I  think  it  advisable,  also,  to  notify  all  known  applicants  for  State 
certificates  in  your  county  by  postal  card. 

The  examination  questions  for  both  classes  of  certificates  will  be  forwarded 
so  as  to  reach  you  about  July  1st.  Should  they  fail  to  reach  you  about  that 
time,  be  sure  to  notify  the  office  of  the  State  Superintendent  of  Public  Instruc- 
tion in  time  for  other  copies  to  be  forwarded  to  you  before  the  date  of  the 
examination. 

I  beg  to  call  your  attention  to  the  important  fact  that,  under  section  2  of 
the  Public  High-school  Law,  the  term  of  office  of  one  member  of  every  high- 
school  committee  appointed  in  1907  will  expire  on  June  30,  1909,  and  it  will 
be  necessiary  for  the  new  Board  of  Education  at  their  meeting  on  the  first  Mon- 
day in  July  to  fill  the  vacancy,  in  accordance  with  the  section  cited  above,  for 
a  term  of  six  years. 

I  suggest  that  you  be  certain  to  keep  a  correct  record  of  the  appointment  of 
the  high-school  committeemen  and  their  respective  terms  of  office,  as  much 
confusion  might  arise  out  of  errors  in  your  record  of  this. 

Very  truly  yours,  J.  Y.  Joyner, 

Superintendent  of  PuNic  Instruction. 


HOW  TO  PREPARE  AVERAGE  DAILY  ATTENDANCE  FOR  REPORT. 

To  the  County  Superintendent:  Raleigh,  June  12,  1909. 

I  wish  to  urge  you  to  prepare  your  annual  statistical  report  as  soon  as  the 
county  schools  have  closed,  and  be  ready  to  send  it  to  me  immediately  after  the 
first  Monday  in  July.     The  most  important  items  in  the  report  are  the  average 


Circular-letters.  165 

daily  attendance  and  the  length  of  school  term.  I  am  making  a  special  effort 
this  year  to  have  them  accurate  in  every  instance,  that  we  may  see  exactly 
what  progress  is  being  made.  Therefore,  I  am  giving  two  simple  rules  for 
your  guidance,  in  preparing  the  items,  as  follows : 

1.  To  find  average  daily  attendance  for  county: 

Add  together  the  average  daily  attendance  reported  for  each  school.  This 
gives  the  proper  total  for  the  county.     For  example : 

1  school,  term    80  days,  average  daily  attendance 20 

1  school,  term  160  days,  average  daily  attendance 40 

1  school,  term    GO  days,  average  daily  attendance 30 

Total  average  daily  attendance 90 

2.  To  find  average  term  in  days  for  county: 

Divide  the  combined  aggregate  attendance  in  days  (found  by  multiplying  the 
average  daily  attendance  by  the  term  in  days  for  each  school)  by  the  average 
daily  attendance  for  the  whole  county,  as  found  under  1  above.     For  example: 

80X20=1,600  aggregate  days  attended. 

100x40=4,000  aggregate  days  attended. 

60X30=1,800  aggregate  days  attended. 


7,400  aggregate  days  attended. 
7,400-^90=82.2  days,  average  term. 

I  trust  the  foregoing  may  be  helpful  to  some  of  the  county  superintendents. 
It  will,  I  am  sure,  secure  uniformity  in  the  methods  of  finding  these  two 
important  items  in  all  the  counties,  and  I  request  you  to  observe  the  rules. 

Very  truly  yours,  J.  Y.  Joyner, 

Superintendent  Puhlic  Instruction. 


DUTIES  OF  COUNTY  BOARDS  OF  EDUCATION  IN  ELECTION  OF 
COUNTY  SUPERINTENDENT. 

Raleigh,  June  15,  1009. 

To  the  Members  of  the  County  Boards  of  Education: 

My  dear  Sirs  : — You  will  enter  upon  the  duties  of  your  office  July  1,  1909. 
In  view  of  the  impossibility  of  conducting  the  public  schools  of  your  county 
successfully  without  an  efficient  county  superintendent  and  competent  school 
committeemen,  I  trust  that  you  will  pardon  me  for  taking  the  liberty  of  mak- 
ing some  suggestions  at  this  time  in  regard  to  the  wise  discharge  of  the  first 
and  most  important  duties  of  your  board,  the  election  of  a  county  superin- 
tendent and  the  selection  of  school  committeemen. 

As  to  the  necessity  and  importance  of  competent  supervision,  requiring  the 
entire  time  and  thought  of  a  competent  superintendent,  permit  me  to  ask  a 
careful  reading  of  pages  35  to  37  of  my  Biennial  Report,  a  copy  of  which  I 
send  you  under  separate  cover. 

Permit  me,  also,  to  call  your  attention  to  the  duty  of  observing  strictly  in 
your  election  of  county  superintendent  the  legal  qualifications  for  the  office  as 
set  forth  in  section  4135  of  the  School  Law.  Kindly  read  carefully  sections 
4135,  4138,  4139,  4140,  and  4141  of  the  School  Law,  and  observe  especially  the 
notes  upon  these  sections. 


166  CiRCULAR-LETTKKS. 

I  wish.  In  roiiclusiou,  to  iirge  you  to  observe  in  your  selection  of  a  county 
superintendent  the  following:  {!)■  Without  fear,  without  prejudice,  political 
or  denominational,  have  before  your  eyes  only  the  welfare  of  the  children  and 
the  success  of  the  public  scliools,  select  the  most  competent  man  to  be  liad  for 
the  money,  choosing  him  from  your  county,  if  such  a  man  is  to  be  found  there ; 
and  if  not  to  be  found  in  the  county,  seelv  him  wlierever  he  can  be  found. 
(2)  If  your  present  county  superintendent  possesses  the  necessary  qualifica- 
tions for  a  successful  administration  of  his  delicate,  difiicult,  and  important 
duties,  as  I  trust  he  may,  reelect  him  and  give  him  a  chance  to  show  what  Is  in 
liim,  and  to  malce  a  greater  success  of  his  work  by  paying  him,  if  i)osslble,  ;i 
sufficient  salary,  under  section  4144,  to  .iustify  him  in  giving  all  his  time  and 
thought  to  the  work  of  supervision,  and  to  justify  you  in  requiring  him  to  do 
this.  (3)  Talve  advantage  of  section  on  salary  of  county  superintendent  on 
page  57  of  School  Law  and  pay  your  su])erinten<lent  as  large  a  salary  as  your 
school  fund  will  justify,  Imt  be  sure  that  you  get  more  man  and  more  time  for 
more  money.  (4)  Tlie  office  of  the  county  superintendent  is,  in  my  opinion, 
the  most  important  office  in  the  county,  and  no  man  should  be  elected  to  fill 
it  who  has  not  experience  and  la-ofessional  qualifications  for  it.  It  should 
be  made  a  professional  office,  and  a  first-class  teacher  should  be  secured  for  it, 
if  jiossible.  It  ought  not  to  be  given  to  a  member  of  some  otlier  jirofession. 
who  will  use  it  as  a  side  issue  to  supidement  bis  salary  or  to  promote  his  pro- 
fessional advancement  in  another  profession.  A  man  cannot  serve  two  masters. 
No  board  of  trustees  would  select  a  man  whose  chief  attention  would  be  given 
to  some  other  i)rofession  or  business  as  superinttMident  of  a  town  or  city  system 
of  schools;  for  the  same  reason  the  County  15oard  of  Education  ought  not  to 
elect  n  man  whose  main  business  would  be  something  else  as  superintendent  of 
a  county  system  of  schools,  with  many  more  schools,  m:my  more  teachers,  and 
many  more  children  to  supervise.  Ite<iuire  tlie  county  superintendent  to  visit 
the  schools  while  in  session,  as  section  4141  of  tlie  Scliool  I.nw  ixisitively 
directs. 

By  way  of  suggestion  to  you  in  the  selection  of  school  committeemen,  let  me 
beg  you  to  read  carefully  section  414.5  of  the  School  Law  and  tlie  note  thereon. 
Let  me  insist  that  you  shall  earnestly  seek  to  tiiid  for  school  committeemen 
men  of  intelligence  and  good  business  qualifications,  who  are  linown  to  be  in 
favor  of  i)ublic  education,  as  required  by  law  :  who  will  talvC  an  active  interest 
in  the  public  schof)ls  and  will  have  the  courage  to  discharge  tlKMr  duties, 
especially  the  duty  of  selecting  teachers  without  fear  or  favor. 

In  order  to  secure  the  cooperation  (if  .-ill.  so  necessary  for  the  success  of  a 
school,  I  strongly  advise  tlie  selection  (if  ju-dpcrly  (|ualified  Republicans  as  well 
as  Democrats  as  school  committeemen.  The  schools  should  l>e  held  above  parti- 
san politics.  This  plan  of  selecting  committeemen  without  regard  to  partisan 
jiolitics  has  worked  successfully  in  many  counties,  and  should  be  observed  as 
far  as  possible  in  every  cdunty.  The  first  (lualification  of  a  school  committee- 
man is  to  lie  an  intelligent,  patriotic  citiz(>n.  de(>i)ly  interested  in  the  wlucation 
of  all  the  childri'ii  of  his  community. 

I  desire  to  .assure  you  of  my  liearty  (-(Wiperatidn  with  .-ill  vdur  effdrts  to 
advance  the  caus(>  df  education  in  your  comity,  and  to  request  your  lu^arty 
cooperation  with  me  in  my  wdi-k.  \'ery  truly  yours.

INSTRUCTIONS    ABOUT   TEACHERS'    INSTITUTES. 

Raleigh,  June  24.  1909. 
County  S II permten dents  and  InstittUe  Gotiductors : 

We  shall  expect  the  institute  conductors  this  summer  to  concentrate  upon 
a  few  important  subjects ;  to  teach  these  so  definitely  and  thoroughly  that  at 
the  close  of  the  institute  the  teachers  that  have  been  in  attendance  will  have 
such  a  grasp  of  them  and  of  the  ways  of  teaching  them,  as  illustrated  in  the 
institute,  that  they  will  be  able  to  apply  the  same  to  their  own  work  in  their 
own  schoolrooms. 

The  subjects  to  be  presented  by  the  teacher  in  charge  of  Primary  Work  and 
Methods  are  phonics,  reading  and  writing,  drawing,  number  work,  and  seat 
work.  At  least  three  periods  a  day  should  be  given  to  this  part  of  the  work. 
At  the  close  of  the  ten  days'  work  in  these  subjects  the  teachers  who  have 
taken  the  course  ought  to  be  able  to  teach  these  subjects  and  do  this  work 
by  the  methods  explained  and  observed. 

The  county  superintendents  should  annoimce  in  the  beginning  of  the  insti- 
tute that  teachers  will  be  required  to  apply  the  primary  methods  taught  in 
the  institute,  and  that  a  further  study  of  these  methods  will  be  carried  on 
through  the  county  teachers'  association  until  they  are  fully  understood  and 
in  general  use  in  ail  the  schools  of  the  county.  The  responsibility,  therefore, 
is  upon  the  teacher  of  Primary  Work  and  Methods  to  present  it  so  clearly, 
so  definitely,  and  so  concretely  that  those  she  teaches  can  be  reasonalily  re- 
quired to  teach  as  they  have  been  taught. 

We  suggest,  as  subjects  for  special  emphasis  by  the  teacher  in  charge  of  the 
intermediate  woi-k  of  the  institute,  language,  literature,  and  history.  This  is 
a  group  of  related  subjects,  and,  by  concentrating  upon  them  for  ten  succes- 
sive days,  some  definite  and  usable  methods  of  teaching  them  can  be  worked 
out,  which  the  teachers  ought  to  be  able  to  miderstand,  adopt,  and  apply. 
Hammer  at  these  few  subjects  until  you  are  sure  that  the  teachers  have  a 
workable  knowledge  of  them  and  of  the  best  methods  of  their  presentation, 
and  that  you  have  engrafted  your  way  of  teaching  them  as  a  permanent  part 
of  the  system  of  teaching  in  the  public  schools  of  the  county.  During  the 
institute  let  all  other  subjects  and  all  other  aims  be  subordinate  to  these. 
Let  your  motto  be,  "This  one  thing  I  do  this  time."  At  the  next  institute 
a  few  other  important  subjects  can  be  worked  out  to  definiteness,  and  fixed 
permanently  in  the  system  of  teaching  of  the  schools  of  the  county.  The 
course  of  study  for  teachers  and  the  work  of  comity  teachers'  associations  for 
the  ensuing  year  will  be  a  continuation  of  these  subjects  presented  in  the 
institutes  until  they  are  mastered. 

The  institute  conductor,  in  comi>any  with  the  county  superintendent,  is  ex- 
pected to  make  at  least  two  addresses,  in  addition  to  the  one  made  on  "Rally 
Day,"  in  portions  of  the  county  whei-e  they  are  needed  most,  in  order  to  arouse 
interest  among  the  ])eoplo  on  educational  questions,  especially  local  taxation, 
attendance,  improving  schoolhouses  and  grounds,  etc.  These  meetings  should 
be  advertised  beforehand.  One  of  these  addresses  should  !)(•  given  on  Satur- 
day of  the  first  week  of  the  institute,  and  the  other  on  some  convenient  day. 
when  the  institute  may  be  left  in  charge  of  the  lad.v  assistant.  .  On  the  last 
day  of  the  institute,  or  "Rall.v  Day,"  there  should  be  a  mass-meeting  of  citi- 


168  ClECULAK-LETTEES. 

zens,  especially  the  members  of  the  County  Board  of  Education  and  the  school 
committeemen,  and  the  conductor  should  address  them  on  educational  topics. 

All  the  educational  meetings  should  be  thoroughly  advertised  by  the  county 
superintendent  some  weelis  previously,  through  the  county  paper  and  by 
posters.  Special  invitations  should  be  sent  to  school  officials.  Every  teacher 
should  be  notified  by  mail  of  the  dates  of  the  institute  and  of  the  law  relat- 
ing to  continuous  attendance. 

A  blank  for  reporting  the  work  of  the  institute  will  be  sent  to  the  coimty 
superintendents.  Let  this  blank  be  filled  out  promptly  at  the  close  of  the 
institute,  and  forwarded  to  the  Supervisor  of  Teacher-training,  State  Depart- 
ment of  Education.  Very  truly  yours, 

J.   Y.    JOYNEE, 

Superintendent' of  Public  Instruction. 


DIRECTIONS    FOR   HOLDING    EXAMINATION    FOR   STATE 

CERTIFICATES. 

To  the  Coiintii  Snperintemlent :  Ralkigh,  June  26,  1909. 

Copies  of  the  questions  to  be  used  on  July  8th  and  9th  for  the  examination 
of  applicants  for  the  High-school  Teacher's  Certificate  and  for  the  Five-year 
State  Certificate  will  be  mailed  to  you  in  sealed  packages  the  latter  part  of 
this  week.  They  will  be  sent  early,  that  you  may  have  time  to  notify  us 
should  they  not  reach  you  several  days  before  time  for  the  examination.  One 
complete  set  of  questions  will  be  included  in  each  package,  together  with  a 
copy  of  "Directions  to  Applicants." 

Before  beginning  the  examination,  on  the.  morning  of  the  8th.  please  call 
the  attention  of  applicants  to  the  special  directions  on  page  3  of  the  "Direc- 
tions" referred  to  above,  and  have  them  read  carefully. 

The  following  pledge  which  should  have  been  included  in  the  "Directions," 
must  be  signed  by  applicants  at  the  end  of  each  paper  on  the  respective  sub- 
jects :  "Upon  my  honor,  I  hereby  certify  that  I  have  neither  given  nor  re- 
ceived aid  on  this  examination." 

Please  take  evei-y  precaution  to  see  that  the  examination  is  conducted  fairly. 
Do  not  give  questions  on  more  than  one  sub.iect  at  a  time,  and  do  not  give 
others  till  the  applicant  has  finished  with  those  given  formerly.  Require  all 
applicants  to  stand  examinations  on  the  same  sub.iect  at  the  same  time.  Do 
not  permit  examinations  on  two  subjects  at  the  same  time. 

The  papers  handed  to  you  should  be  properly  addressed  to  the  Secretary  of 
the  State  Board  of  Examiners  and  placed  in  the  post-oflice  on  the  afternoon 
of  Saturday,  the  10th.  This  will  avoid  delays  and  inconveniences,  that  must 
be  avoided,  so  that  applicants  may  have  a  report  on  their  papers  promptly. 

Do  not  return  any  questions  to  this  office.  Let  the  applicants  take  them 
away  with  them,  or  keep  them  on  file  in  your  office,  where  they  may  be 
accessible  after  the  examination  to  any  one  that  may  care  to  see  them. 

Very  truly  yours,  J.  Y.  Joyner, 

Superintendent  of  PuWe  Instruction.

AID    FOR    WOMAN'S    BETTERMENT    ASSOCIATION. 

To  the  County  Superintendent.  Raleigh,  July  1,  1909. 

My  dear  Sib: — As  you  will  see  from  the  enclosed  letter  from  the  president 
and  secretary  of  the  Woman's  Betterment  Association,  the  association  is  sorely 
in  need  of  funds  to  meet  its  contracts  and  carry  on  the  State  work.  You  will 
recall  that  the  county  superintendents,  at  their  meeting  at  Morehead  City  last 
September,  promised  to  aid  the  women  in  raising  their  $500  in  order  to  secure 
the  other  $1,000  from  the  Peabody  Fund  and  the  Campaign  Fund.  Only 
$144.3.5  of  this  amount  has  been  raised. 

I  will  greatly  appreciate  it  if  you  will  confer  at  once  with  the  women  of 
your  county  interested  in  the  betterment  work  and  with  the  teachers,  and 
aid  them  in  raising  at  least  $10  from  your  county  to  help  us  out  of  this 
financial  embarrassment.  If  we  can  get  $350  more  from  the  counties  we  can 
then  claim  the  Peabody  money  and  relieve  the  entire  situation.  Your  prompt 
assistance  will  be  greatly  appreciated.     With  best  wishes. 

Very  truly  yours,  J.  Y.   Joynee, 

Superintendent  of  Public  Instruction. 


SPECIAL   CONSIDERATION    OF   WORK    OF   WOMAN'S    BETTERMENT 
ASSOCIATION  AT  TEACHERS'  INSTITUTE. 

Raleigh,  July  3,  1909. 

Dear  Madam  : — I  wish  to  "urge  you  to  set  apart  some  period  during  the 
County  Institute  to  present  to  the  teachers  and  the  public  the  work  of  the 
Woman's  Association  for  the  Betterment  of  Public  Schoolhouses. 

This  organization  has  done  a  great  deal  towards  the  preservation  of  public- 
school  property,  and  has  in  it  some  of  the  greatest  possibilities  in  connection 
with  our  public-school  work.  To  make  the  schoolhouse  cgmfortable  and  at- 
tractive, as  well  as  a  social  and  intellectual  center  of  the  community,  is  the 
purpose  of  this  organization. 

Please  give  this  subject  the  time  and  attention  which  it  so  much  deserves 
in  connection  with  the  Institute  work. 

Very  truly,  J.  Y.  Joyner, 

Superintendent  of  Puhlic  Instruction. 


A  WEEKLY-REPORT  CARD  SUGGESTED. 

To  the  County  Superintendent:  Raleigh,  July  15,  1909. 

The  blank  weekly-report  card  enclosed  herewith,  prepared  by  Mr.  Barwick 
of  this  office,  is  a  specimen  sent  for  your  careful  examination.  If  you  have 
not  already  in  use  some  better  means  of  keeping  in  close  touch  with  all  your 
teachers,  I  suggest  that  you  adopt  this  one.  It  combines  the  best  features 
of  all  the  weekly  reports  that  have  come  to  my  attention  from  various  sources. 

There  is  still  one  item  to  be  added :  "What  educational  journal  have  you 
been  reading  this  week?"     The  same  answers  may  be  given  from  week  to 


1 70  CiRCULAE-LETTEKS. 

week,  but  the  subject  needs  to  be  emphasized.  With  this  exeejitu)!!.  I  know  of 
nothing  that  eoiikl  be  included  in  the  bhmk  that  would  be  wholly  pertinent 
to  the  work  of  the  ])articular  week  for  which  the  report  is  to  be  made. 

Other  than  postal  cards  may  be  preferred  by  some.  The  postal  card  is  the 
most  convenient  and  the  cheapest.  The  whole  cost  of  a  year's  supply  in  any 
county  will  not  be  too  great  to  make  for  such  a  purpose.  Excluding  the 
postal  charge,  the  printing  should  not  cost  more  than  $!.")()  per  1,000.  The 
State  Printer  at  Kaleigh  keeps  this  form  standing  in  type  and  will  furnish  the 
printed  postal  cards,  with  adaptations  as  to  county  and  address,  for  the  price 
stated,  if  he  should  be  called  on  to  do  the  work. 

For  a  discussion  of  the  subject  of  weekly  reports  and  their  uses,  1  refer  you 
to  ax-ticles  by  Mr.  Barwick  in  the  February  and  April  numbers  of  North 
Carolina  Education.  I  quote  from  one  of  these:  "In  the  face  of  all  pro.- 
visious  the  State  and  local  conmiunities  ax'e  making  for  school  facilities,  a 
very  large  number  of  children  never  see  the  inside  of  a  schoolhouse,  and  many 
of  those  who  do  can  be  counted  for  hardly  more  than  enrollment."  Wherever 
weekly  reports  have  been  required  attendance  has  improved.  Any  means  to 
such  a  result  will  be  welcomed,  I  am  sure,  by  every  count.v  superintendent. 
I  want  to  take  this  opportmiity  of  urging  you  to  make  your  county  show  a 
liirger  increase  in  attendance  this  year  than  it  has  ever  shown. 

^'ery  truly  yours,  .T.  Y.  Joyneb, 

Superintendent  of  Puhlic  Instruction. 


CENSUS  BLANKS— THREE  COPIES  CENSUS  TO  BE  MADE. 

To  the  county  SupcrintrndnU :  Ualeigh,  August  5,  IDO!). 

W^e  are  sending  you  three  copies  of  census  blanks  for  each  school  district. 
Section  414.S  of  School  Law  recpiires  connnittee  to  furnivSh  county  superintend- 
ent and  the  teacher  of  eacli  district,  at  opening  of  school,  copies  of  the  census. 
Instruct  every  census  taker,  personally  or  by  postal,  that  voucher  for  taking 
census  will  not  be  apiiroved  until  three  copies  are  prepared — one  for  you,  one 
for  the  teacher,  and  ojie  for  the  committee  of  district.  It  might  be  safer  to 
have  teacher's  copy  of  census  tiled  with  county  superintendent,  to  be  sent  by 
him  to  teacher  when  school  opens.  Very  truly  yours, 

J.    Y.    JOYNEB,

PROVIDING   FOR   SALE  OF  TEXT-BOOKS   BEFORE  OPENING  SCHOOLS. 
To  the  county  Supcrinlvndvnt.  Raleigh,  August  11,  1909. 

Dear  Sir  : — I  beg  to  call  your  attention  to  the  last  sentence  of  section  4083 
of  the  Text-book  Law,  page  SS  of  the  Public  School  Law  pamphlet,  requiring 
the  county  superintendent  to  notify  the  contractors  annually  of  the  date  of 
opening  of  the  public  schools,  at  least  thirt.v  days  before  they  ojieu. 

I  enclose  a  printed  list  of  the  depositories,  containing  also  the  names  and 
addresses  of  the  contractors.     Please^  notify   these  publishers   at  least  thirty 


Circular-letters.  171 

(lays  before  the  oi)eiilug  of  your  schools,  and  request  them  to  see  that  an 
ample  supply  of  books  shall  be  sent  to  all  dealers  in  your  county  before  the 
opening  of  the  schools.  I  would  advise,  also,  that  you  drop  a  postal  to  all  the 
dealers  in  your  county,  notifying  them  of  the  opening  of  your  schools,  and  re- 
nuesting  them  to  see  to  it  that  they  have  an  ample  supply  of  books  in  ample 
time. 

There  may  be  some  mistakes  in  the  list  of  depositories  for  your  county,  as 
this  list  was  prepared  in  1907.  If  any  of  these  depositories  have  been  dis- 
continued and  others  are  desired  and  needed  in  your  county  for  the  accom- 
modation of  the  patrons  of  the  public  schools,  notify  the  contractors  at  once 
to  establish  such  depositories. 

Please  attend  to  these  matters  immediately  upon  receipt  of  this  letter.  It 
is  exceedingly  important  that  the  books  should  be  on  hand  at  the  beginning 
of  the  schools,  so  as  to  prevent  loss  of  time  to  the  children  from  failure  to  get 
their  books  promptly.  Very  truly  yours, 

J.    Y.    JOYNEE, 

Superintendent  of  Public  Instruction. 


ASSOCIATION    OF    COUNTY    SUPERINTENDENTS    AT 
HENDERSONVILLE. 

To  the  County  Superintendent.  Kaleigh,  August  21,  1909. 

My  dear  Sir  : — The  annual  meeting  of  the  Association  of  County  Superin- 
tendents will  be  held  at  Hendersonville,  N.  C,  beginning  Tuesday  evening, 
August  31st,  at  S  o'clock,  and  ending  Friday,  September  3,  at  1  P.  M.  The 
daily  sessions  will  be  from  9  :30  A.-M.  to  1  P.  M.,  and  from  8  P.  M.  to  10  P.  M. 
There  will  be  no  business  sessions  during  the  afternoons. 

BATES    or    BOARD. 

Arrangements  have  been  made  for  the  entertainment  of  all  county  superin- 
tendents and  their  families  at  the  Hotel  Gates  at  the  following  rates :  .$1.50 
per  day,  each,  two  in  a  room  ;  $2  per  day,  one  in  a  room  ;  50  cents  extra  for 
room  with  bath.  The  projjrietor  has  kindly  agreed  to  allow  the  same  rates 
before  and  after  the  session  for  the  accommodation  of  those  desiring  to  go 
earlier  and  remain  longer.  The  hotel  accommodations  are  ample  for  the  en- 
tertainment of  all  the  superintendents  under  one  roof.  I  thought  it  best  for 
all  of  us  to  be  together.  The  sessions  of  the  association  will  be  held  either 
in  the  hotel  or  in  the  handsome  new  courthouse  next  door. 

SCHEDUI.E   OF   TRAINS.

EAILKOAD  RATES. 

Round-trip  summer  excursion  tickets  to  Hendersonville,  good  until  Septem- 
ber SOtb,  will  be  found  on  sale  at  all  important  ticket  offices  at  21^4  cents  per 
mile.  Mileage  will,  therefore,  be  cheaper  for  those  who  can  use  profitably  a 
1,000-mile  book. 

Section  4141  of  the  Public  School  Law  makes  it  absolutely  mandatory  upon 
every  county  superintendent  to  attend  this  meeting  continuously  during  its 
session,  unless  providentially  hindered.  The  law  is  equally  mandatory  upon 
the  county  board  of  education  to  pay  the  traveling  expenses  of  every  county 
superintendent.  It  is  the  sworn  duty  of  every  county  superintendent  to  obey 
this  law  and  my  sworn  duty  to  enforce  it.  We  cannot  expect  others  to  obey 
the  school  law  miless  we  obey  it. 

I  shall  be  greatly  grieved  if  a  single  county  superintendent  fails  to  obey 
this  law  this  year,  and  I  shall  feel  compelled  to  investigate  the  reasons  for 
such  failure  and  report  them  to  the  county  board  of  education  for  investiga- 
tion, unless  the  cause  of  detention  is  really  providential. 

In  consideration  of  the  payment  of  his  expenses  by  the  county  board  of 
education  to  attend  these  annual  meetings,  the  time  of  the  county  superin- 
tendent while  attending  them  belongs  to  the  State  and  the  county,  and  it  Is 
his  duty  to  use  this  time,  first,  for  the  transaction  of  the  business  of  the 
association,  for  the  advancement  of  the  cause  of  education  in  the  State  and 
county.  The  county  superintendents  have  heretofore  shown  such  a  conscien- 
tious appreciation  of  the  value  and  importance  of  these  annual  gatherings  to 
render  it  unnecessary  to  invoke  the  law  to  compel  attendance,  or  to  resort  to 
the  unpleasantness  of  an  investigation.  Public  duty  should  be  placed  ahead 
of  private  business,  and  the  public  officer  who  cannot  rise  to  this  conception 
of  his  sworn  public  duty  ought  to  resign. 

There  are  many  important  questions  for  our  consideration  and  discussion 
at  this  meeting.  I  enclose  some  of  the  topics.  I  hope  that  every  county 
superintendent  will  come  prepared  to  give  and  receive  information  on  these 
and  other  topics.  Most  of  the  meetings  will  be  informal  conferences  and  ex- 
changes of  experience  and  suggestions  about  the  practical  problems  of  our 
common  work  immediately  pressing  for  solution.  It  is  exceedingly  important 
that  we  should  confer  together  about  the  planning  of  our  new  work  for 
teacher-training,  supei'vision  of  elementary  schools,  and  public  health. 

Every  superintendent  will  be  expected  to  attend  continuously  every  morning 
and  evening  session  of  the  association.  The  afternoons  have  been  purposely 
left  open  for  rest,  recreation,  and  social  intercourse. 

I  thank  you  for  the  faithful  and  successful  performance  of  your  duties  dur- 
ing the  past  year.  I  am  looking  forward  with  keenest  pleasure  to  meeting 
all  of  you  at  Hendersonville ;  and  I  most  heartily  wish  for  every  one  of  you 
a  most  delightful  and  profitable  week  at  this  beautiful  mountain  resort.  Come 
and  let  us  plan  together  still  larger  things  for  the  education  of  the  children  of 
our  beloved  State.    '  Very  truly  yours, 

J.    Y.    JOYNEB, 

Superintendent  of  Public  Instruction.

PRELIMINARY   ANNOUNCEMENT   CONCERNING    ORGANIZATION    OF 
YOUNG  PEOPLE'S  CORN  CLUBS, 

To  the  County  Superintendent.  Raleigh,  October  15,  1909. 

My  dear  Sik  : — I  am  sending  you  for  distribution  to  each  teacher  of  your 
county  copies  of  the  Preliminary  Announcement  of  the  Organization  of  Young 
People's  Farm-life  clubs.      Please  read  the  announcement  carefully. 

Knowing  that  you  are  in  hearty  sympathy  with  our  plans,  as  discussed  and 
explained  at  the  recent  meeting  of  the  county  superintendents  at  Henderson- 
ville,  for  stimulating  interest  in  farm  life  and  for  working  out  a  successful 
method  of  utilizing  the  public  schools  for  providing  better  preparation  for  it 
for  the  masses  of  the  people,  I  feel  sure  that  you  will  give  your  hearty  cooper- 
ation to  Professor  Schaub  in  the  organization  and  direction  of  these  farm- 
life  clubs  in  your  county.  As  you  know,  Professor  Schaub  has  been  em- 
ployed, without  expense  to  the  State,  to  give  his  entire  time  and  attention 
to  aiding  us  in  making  the  schools  a  more  effective  means  for  the  prepara- 
tion of  our  people  for  a  more  profitable,  more  comfortable  and  more  attractive 
life  on  the  farm.  I  know  that  you  agree  with  me  that  this  is  perhaps  at 
present  the  most  important  educational  problem  for  at  least  82  per  cent  of  the 
people  of  the  State,  and  that  it  is  our  duty  to  give  our  active  and  hearty  sup- 
port to  every  effort  for  successful  solution. 

Professor  Schaub  will  work  under  the  direction  of  the  State  Department 
of  Public  Instruction  and  the  North  Carolina  College  of  Agriculture  and 
Mechanic  Arts.  The  United  States  Department  of  Agriculture  and  the  North 
Carolina  Department  of  Agriculture  will  heartily  cooperate  in  this  work.  The 
success,  however,  of  the  work  in  each  county  will  depend  mainly  and  almost 
entirely  upon  the  active  efforts  and  hearty  cooperation  of  the  county  superin- 
tendent and  the  public  school  teachers.  The  interest  and  cooperation  of  the 
teachers  of  your  county  will,  of  course,  mainly  depend  upon  the  county  super- 
intendent. I  beg,  therefore,  to  urge  you  to  get  into  communication  at  once 
with  Professor  Schaub,  to  bring  this  matter  at  once  to  the  attention  of  your 
teachers  in  your  teachers'  association,  to  urge  them  to  bring  it  at  once  to  the 
attention  of  the  children  in  their  schools,  and  to  use  your  county  paper  con- 
stantly to  arouse  the  interest  of  all  the  people  of  your  county  in  it. 

Very  truly  yours,  J.  Y.  Joynee, 

Superintendent  of  Puhlic  Instruction. 


DISTRICT    MEETINGS   OF    COUNTY   SUPERINTENDENTS— PAYMENT 

OF  EXPENSES. 

To  the  County  Board  of  Education.  Raleigh,  October  IS,  1909. 

Gentlemen  : — As  you  know,  it  is  exceedingly  helpful  for  the  county  superin- 
tendents to  have  occasional  conferences  about  their  work,  so  as  to  exchange 
experiences  and  get  the  best  ideas  each  from  the  other,  and  so  as  to  confer 
with  the  State  Superintendent  and  others  of  the  State  Department  of  Public 
Instruction,  for  the  better  planning  and  direction  of  the  public-school  work. 
The  annual  meetings  of  the  State  Association  of  County  Superintendents  have 
proved  of  almost  incalculable  benefit  to  all  of  us. 


174  Circular-letters. 

I  feel  sure  that  the  work  of  this  association  can  be  most  profitably  supple- 
mented by  holding  district  meetings  of  the  coimty  superintendents  once  a 
year.  The  State  has  been  divided  into  five  districts  with  a  view  to  conveni- 
ence and  economy,  with  about  twenty  counties  in  each  district.  These  district 
meetings  have  proved  profitable  and  inspiring.  In  them  smaller  groups  of 
superintendents  get  closer  together  for  round-table  discussions  of  their  work, 
and  in  this  way.  as  you  can  readily  see,  they  supplement  the  work  of  the 
larger  annual  meetings  most  profitably. 

The  law  does  not  re(iuire  the  attendance  of  the  county  superintendents  upon 
these  district  meetings.  Heretofore  they  have  been  fairly  well  attended,  how- 
ever. They  would  be  more  largely  attended  if  provision  were  made  b.v  the 
county  board  of  education  for  the  payment  of  the  actual  expenses  of  the 
county  superintendent  while  attending  them.  INIany  of  the  county  superin- 
tendents scarcely  feel  able  to  bear  this  additional  expense  out  of  their  own 
small  salaries. 

I  am  writing  to  you,  therefore,  to  suggest  that,  in  my  opinion,  it  woiild  be 
a  very  wise  expenditui-e  of  perhaps  from  .$.5  to  .$15  annually  by  your  board  to 
defray  the  actual  expenses  of  the  county  superintendents  while  attending  the 
meeting  of  the  District  Association  of  County  Superintendents.  In  my  opinion, 
the  board  of  education  can  legally  make  this  allowance  as  a  part  of  the 
necessary  exiienses  of  the  superintendent.  In  case  the  allowance  is  ordered, 
the  attendance  of  the  county  superintendents  should  be  ordered  also  by  your 
board. 

I  am  exceedingly  anxious  to  perfect  and  strengthen  the  organization  of  the 
county  superintendents  for  more  effective  work  through  these  district  asso- 
ciations. 

With  best  wishes.  Very  truly  yours,  J.  Y.  .Ioynkk, 

Superintendent  of  Puhlic  Instruct ian. 


BULLETIN    ON    EYES   AND    EARS— FOR  TEACHERS'   USE. 

To  PuhUc  School  Teachers:  Raleigh,  November  20,  V.m. 

This  is  the  first  of  a  series  of  bulletins  on  public  health  and  sanitation,  pre- 
pared by  the  Secretary  of  the  State  Board  of  Health,  at  the  request  of  the 
State  Superintendent  of  Public  Instruction,  for  distribution  to  the  public 
school  teachers.     Other  bulletins  will   follow. 

Every  teacher  is  earnestly  urged  to  read  carefully  every  line  of  this  bulletin 
and  to  observe  the  simide.  practical  suggestions  contained  therein.  Every 
county  superintendent  is  urged  to  insist  upon  the  observance  of  these  sugges- 
tions by  every  teacher  and  school  connnittee.  The  first  duty  of  every  teacher 
and  every  school  official  is  to  protect  the  health  and  the  lives  of  the  children 
committed  to  their  care  by  providing  for  them  sanitary  surroundings  in 
schoolroom  and  on  school  grounds.  Your  careful  attention  to  these  simple 
suggestions  will  result  in  adding  to  the  comfort  and  pleasure  of  your  pupils, 
in  impi'oving  the  discipline,  in  stimulating  intellectual  effort  and  study,  and 
may  result  in  preventing  much  suffering  and  saving  human  lives. 

in  matters  of  hygiene  and  sanitation  example  is  better  than  precept,  and 
the  teaching  of  daily  surroiuidings  more  effective  than  the  memorizing  from 
books  of  hygiene  rules  and  laws. 


ClRCULAE-LETTPmS.  175 

Simple,  brief  henltli  inlks  should  be  given  to  all  tlu'  cbiklreu  of  the  school 
by  every  teacher  once  or  twice  every  week.  This  and  the  bnlletins  following 
it  will  contain  all  the  infornuxtion  needed  for  such  talks.  The  examination 
on  physiology  and  hygiene  required  for  teachers'  certificates  will  hereafter 
comprehend  all  subjects  contained  in  these  health  bulletins.  Examination 
questions  on  these  will  probably  be  prepared  and  sent  out  from  the  office  of 
the  State  Superintendent  of  Public  Instruction.  Teachers  are.  therefore,  ex- 
pected and  required  to  acquaint  themselves  thoroughly  with  the  contents  of 
these  bulletins.  Very  truly  yours,  J.  Y.  Joyneb, 

Superintendent  of  Public  Instruction. 


HOW  TO  APPLY    FOR   AID    FROM   SECOND  $100,000  TO    PROVIDE    A 

FOUR-MONTHS   TERM. 

To  the  County  Superintendent.  Kaleigh,  November  22.  1909. 

Dear  Sir: — If  your  coimty  needs  aid  from  the  second  hundred  thousand 
dollars  for  a  four-months  school  in  every  school  district,  and  has  complied 
with  all  the  requirements  of  the  law  for  securing  it,  as  set  forth  in  section 
4112,  page  36,  of  School  Law,  fill  out  at  once  the  blanks  sent  herewith  and 
return  them  immediately  to  my  office.  If  your  county  will  not  apply  for  aid, 
and  has  not  levied  the  special  tax  reipiired  by  law  to  secui'e  it.  kindly  notify 
me  to  that  effect  at  once. 

If  you  filed  in  my  office  a  copy  of  the  estimate  submitted  to  the  county  com- 
missioners, under  the  law.  in  June,  1909.  and  tJicrc  is  any  difference  between 
tJie  estimated  salary  of  teachers  and  the  estimated  amount  to  he  rcccired  from 
the  special  lax  for  a  fovr-nionlliK  school  and<  the  actual  salaries  that  are  being 
paid,  or  have  been  contracted  to  be  paid,  and  the  actual  amount  that  you 
have  received,  or  will  receive,  from  this  special  tax,  please  fill  out  another 
blank,  shoirin<i  the  actual  facts  instead  of  the  estimates,  mid  return  to  my 
office. 

Read  carefully  the  instructions  on  page  2  of  the  blank  under  the  head  "Fix- 
ing Salaries  of  Teachers."  If  the  salaries  that  you  have  actually  contracted 
to  pay  differ  from  your  estimates  made  and  submitted  to  the  county  commis- 
sioners in  any  district  or  districts,  let  your  report  to  this  office  show  the  sala- 
ries actually  contracted  for  or  paid  to  any  and  all  of  tlie  teachers. 

Let  your  report  show  the  average  of  the  salaries  of  the  whole  county  for 
white  teachers,  and  also  the  average  of  the  salaries  of  the  colored  teachers. 
Remember,  the  average  salary  of  the  white  teachers  for  the  entire  county 
cannot  exceed  $32.34.  though  the  salary  paid  some  individual  teachers  may 
exceed  that  amount  if  that  paid  others  is  less,  so  as  to  preserve  the  legal 
county  average ;  and  the  average  salary  of  the  colored  teachers  cannot  exceed 
$22.48.  as  provided  by  law. 

Remember  that  pages  46  and  47  must  be  filled  out  in  full  and  signed  by 
the  official,  as  directed,  upon  oath. 

It  will  be  absolutely  necessary  for  the  applications  to  be  placed  on  file  not 
later  than  the  first  week  in  December  in  order  that  there  may  be  sufficient 
time  for  their  consideration  before  .Tanuary  1,  1910.  Please  attend  to  this 
important  matter  at  once.  Very  truly  yours, 

J.    Y.    JOYNER, 

Superintendent  of  Public  Instruction.

MONTHLY  CIRCULAR-LETTER,   No.  1,   OF  SUPERVISOR   OF  TEACHER- 
TRAINING— READING   CIRCLE— COUNTY   TEACHERS'   ASSOCIATION. 

County  Superintendents  and  Teachers:  Raleigh,  November,  1909. 

The  rural  schools  are  now  opening  throughout  the  State,  and  it  is  important 
that  all  concerned  get  actively  and  earnestly  to  work  at  the  earliest  possible 
moment.  It  is  a  good  idea  for  the  teachers  to  read  Diusmore's  Teaching  a 
District  School  at  the  outset  of  the  term.  Many  hints  are  contained  therein 
that  should  be  put  immediately  into  practice.  Especial  attention  is  called  to 
the  program  of  a  one-teacher  school  on  pages  44  and  45.  With  slight  modifica- 
tion this  program  can  be  followed  to  great  advantage.  Sample  programs  can 
be  found,  also,  in  Bulletin  VIII,  which  may  be  had  by  applying  to  the  county 
superintendent  or  to  this  office.  The  problem  of  classification  and  arrauguig  a 
daily  program  is  exceedingly  vital.  The  studies  for  the  different  grades  should 
be  assigned  in  accordance  with  the  suggestions  in  Bulletin  VIII.  Let  the 
teachers  keep  a  copy  of  this  valuable  bulletin  constantly  on  their  desks. 

In  the  study  of  Hamilton's  The  Recitation  the  attention  of  the  teacher  is 
invited  to  the  excellent  outline  furnished  by  Prof.  E.  C.  Brooks  in  each  num- 
ber of  North  Carolina  Education,  beginning  with  the  October  number.  In  con- 
nection with  the  study  of  this  book  let  me  again  emphasize  the  importance  of 
using  the  questions  prepared  by  Dr.  Hamilton,  which  are  to  be  found  in  the 
pamphlet  descriptive  of  the  Reading  Circle. 

If  the  teachers  are  not  yet  supplied  with  the  books  on  the  reading  course 
they  should,  to  save  delay,  order  them  direct  from  Alfred  Williams  &  Co., 
Raleigh,  or  from  The  Stone  &  Barringer  Company,  Charlotte.  The  chief  value 
of  the  course  lies  in  its  being  pursued  while  school  is  in  session. 

Bulletin  I,  on  How  to  Teach  Reading,  is  being  reprinted,  with  certain  cor- 
rections and  additions.  It  will  be  ready  for  distribution  in  a  few  days.  Teach- 
ers should  at  once  secure  a  copy  and  begin  the  study  and  teaching  of  phonetics. 
It  is  hoped,  also,  that  teachers  will  do  some  good  work  this  term  in  oral  and 
written  language  in  the  first  three  or  four  grades.  For  suggestions  see  Bulle- 
tins I  and  VIII.  At  every  meeting  of  the  County  Teachers'  Association  the 
program  committee  should  see  to  it  that  a  model  lesson  is  given  by  some  experi- 
enced teacher  on  phonetics,  language,  number,  writing  or  drawing. 

County  superintendents  are  requested  to  send  in  the  reports  of  their  associa- 
tion meetings  as  promptly  as  possible.  Blank  post-cards  were  distributed  for 
this  purpose  a  few  weeks  ago.  Thus  far  not  more  than  a  dozen  meetings  have 
been  reported.  It  is  my  purpose  to  publish  a  synopsis  of  the  best  things  done 
in  these  meetings  from  month  to  month  in  North  Carolina  Education. 

The  November  issue  of  North  Carolina  Education  is  full  of  good  things. 
Especial  attention  is  called  to  Professor  Brooks'  Hints  About  Home  Geography, 
Miss  Fulghum's  Number  Work  Suggestions,  and  E.  E.  Miller's  What  the  Coun- 
try Boy  Has  a  Right  to  Expect  from  His  Teacher.  Some  excellent  suggestions 
are  given,  also,  on  Thanksgiving  Day  exercises.  The  wide-awake  teacher  is 
always  ready  to  get  up  something  fresh  and  interesting  on  special  days. 

Hoping  that  this  may  be  your  best  year  in  educational  work,  I  remain. 

Sincerely,  j.  a.  Bivins, 

Supervisor  of  Teacher-training. 

P.  S. — As  it  is  difficult  to  get  this  circular-letter  into  the  hands  of  every 
teacher,  the  county  superintendents  are  asked  to  read  it  at  the  next  meeting  of 
the  County  Teachers'  Association.

MONTHLY  CIRCULAR-LETTER,   No.  2,  OF  SUPERVISOR   OF  TEACHER- 
TRAINING— READING    CIRCLE— INSTITUTES. 

County  Superintendents:  Raleigh,  December,  1909. 

Reading  Circie.^ — Owing  to  the  fact  that  many  of  the  counties  were  late  in 
organizing  their  teachers'  associations  and  in  getting  the  worli  of  the  Reading 
Circle  started,  it  has  been  thought  wise,  for  this  year,  to  modify  the  course  a 
little.  So  it  will  be  deemed  sufficient  if  the  teachers  who  have  joined  the 
circle  read  thoroughly  Hamilton's  Recitation  and  subscribe  to  North  Carolina 
Education.  The  two  other  books  will  be  continued  as  part  of  the  course  for 
the  following  year.  Tennyson's  Idyls  of  the  King,  which  comes  in  the  course 
this  year  as  supplementary  reading,  will  be  studied  in  the  institutes  next 
summer.  But  the  teachers  who  attended  the  institutes  last  summer,  aud  who 
will  not,  therefore,  be  required  to  attend  another  until  1911,  must  read  this 
book  during  the  year.  Outlines  for  its  study  will  soon  appear  in  North  Caro- 
lina Education. 

Certificates. — At  the  regular  July  and  October  examinations  next  year 
questions  based  on  Hamilton's  Recitation  and  Tennyson's  Idyls  of  the  King 
will  be  furnished  from  this  Department.  Every  teacher  who  is  taking  the 
course,  and  who  wants  credit  for  the  same,  must  stand  a  written  test.  If  the 
teacher  passes  the  test  satisfactorily,  the  county  superintendent  is  authorized 
to  fill  out  the  blank  certificate  furnished  for  the  purpose,  giving  said  certifi- 
cate to  the  teacher  aud  keeping  a  record  of  the  same  in  his  office. 

The  questions  on  Hamilton's  Recitation  will  be  used  in  lieu  of  the  regular 
examination  on  Theory  and  Practice.  A  teacher  who  holds  a  Tjona  fide  first- 
grade  certificate,  and  who  is  a  member  of  the  Reading  Circle,  and  has  satis- 
factorily passed  the  written  test  on  the  two  books  above  referred  to,  may 
reasonably  expect  to  have  a  renewal  of  certificate.  Under  no  circumstances 
should  a  certificate  be  renewed  otherwise.  If  the  county  superintendents  are 
strict  in  this  matter  it  will  not  be  long  before  every  teacher  in  the  State  be- 
comes an  active  member  of  the  Reading  Circle. 

Teachers'  Associations?— Since  the  November  letter  was  sent  out  there  has 
been  a  gratifying  increase  in  the  number  of  counties  reporting  meetings  of 
their  teachers.  A  decided  majority  of  the  counties  are  now  holding  regular 
monthly  meetings,  in  which,  in  most  cases,  excellent  work  is  being  done  in 
teacher-training.  All  of  the  counties  reporting,  except  two  or  three,  are  giving 
serious  attention  to  the  work  of  the  Reading  Circle.  Considering  that  this  is 
the  first  year  that  any  systematic  efforts  have  been  made  for  the  training  of 
rural  teachers,  the  results  are  already  very  encouraging. 

Institutes. — Blanks  will  be  sent  out  early  in  January  for  the  superintend- 
ents to  fill  out,  expressiug  their  preference  as  to  the  time  of  holding  their 
institutes  next  summer ;  also,  their  preference  as  to  conductors.  Provision 
will  have  to  be  made  for  the  negroes,  as  well  as  for  the  whites,  in  separate 
institutes.  As  it  will  be  difficult  to  get  negro  conductors  for  all  the  institutes 
for  that  race,  the  work  for  both  races  will,  in  most  cases,  have  to  be  carried 
forward  simultaneously,  the  conductors  of  the  white  institute  giving  a  portion 
of  their  time  to  the  negroes,  with  the  assistance  of  such  local  help  as  may  be 

Part  III— 12

afforded.     We  are  planning  a  vigorous  campaign  of  institute  work,  and  hope 
by  tliat  means  to  give  great  impetus  to  the  cause  of  teacher-training. 
Wishing  you  a  Merry  Christmas  and  a  Happy  New  Year, 

Sincerely,  J.  A.  Bivins, 

Supervisor  of  Teacher-training. 


HEALTH    BULLETINS. 
To  the  Cmmty  Superintendent.  Raleigh,  January  14,  1910. 

Dear  Sir: — I  beg  to  call  your  attention  to  the  following  bulletins  recently 
sent  to  you  by  express  package : 

(a)  Public  School  Health  Bulletin,  "Eyes  and  Ears,"  one  for  each  teacher 
of  your  county,  together  with  two  blank  reports  for  each  teacher,  one  to  be 
returned  to  the  county  superintendent  and  the  other  to  be  filed  among  the 
records  of  the  school  with  the  committee,  and  also  a  few"  warning  cards  for 
each  teacher  for  notification  of  parents.  If  more  of  any  of  these  are  needed 
they  will  be  furnished  upon  request  from  this  office. 

(&)  Bulletin  of  State  Board  of  Health  on  "Teaching  Health  in  Public 
Schools  and  Medical  Inspection  of  Public  Schools"  (Teacher's  Edition),  one 
copy  for  each  teacher. 

These  bulletins  are  the  first  in  a  series  of  health  bulletins  to  be  issuetl  in 
conjunction  with  the  State  Board  of  Health  and  this  Department  for  the  direc- 
tion of  the  public-health  work  of  the  public  schools.  A  bulletin  of  great  value 
and  importance  is  now  in  press  on  "Consumption,  Its  Causes  and  Preven- 
tion." Later,  other  bulletins  will  be  distributed  on  common,  contagious  and 
infectious  diseases  and  their  prevention  and  on  other  vital  questions  affecting 
public  health. 

These  bulletins  contain  the  information  needed  for  the  brief  health  talks  to 
be  given  by  each  teacher  to  all  the  children  of  each  school  at  least  two  or 
three  times  each  week.  It  is  important  for  the  counfy  superintendent  to  have 
one  of  each  of  these  bulletins  promptly  placed  in  the  hands  of  each  public 
school  teacher  in  his  county  and  to  require  tlie  use  of  it  for  the  instruction  of 
the  school  on  this  vital  question.  The  little  time  required  two  or  three  times 
a  week  for  this  instruction  cannot,  in  my  opinion,  be  so  A-aluably  used  for 
instruction  in  any  other  subject.  These  bulletins  will  also  be  made  largely  the 
basis  of  the  future  examinations  on  Physiology  and  Hygiene  for  teachers'  cer- 
tificates. Special  attention  should  be  given  to  this  public-health  work  in  your 
County  Teachers'  Association. 

Teachers  should  be  instructed  to  preserve  all  bulletins  carefully  for  perma- 
nent use.  Blank  cards  will  be  provided  later  for  the  county  superintendent 
to  report  the  results  of  the  work  of  the  teachers  in  this  line  as  compile^l  from 
their  reports  at  the  end  of  the  year.  Schools  that  have  already  closed  for  the 
year  should  be  provided  by  the  county  superintendent  with  copies  of  all  of 
these  bulletins  at  the  beginning  of  next  year.  Schools  that  are  now  in  session 
should  be  provided  at  once  and  directed  to  begin  this  public-health  work  at

once.     Auy  additional  number  of  any  of  these  bulletins  or  blank  forms  can  be 
secured  from  my  office  upon  request. 

The  State  has  been  at  considerable  expense  in  printing  and  distributing 
these  important  bulletins  on  this  vital  subject,  and  it  is  the  duty  of  the  county 
superintendent  to  distribute  this  valuable  information  so  that  it  can  be  made 
effective  for  the  upbuilding  of  public  health  through  proper  instruction  of  the 
children  in  every  public  school  of  the  county.  Do  not  let  the  bulletins  lie  in 
your  office.  Unless  you  are  going  to  distribute  them  among  your  teachers, 
please  return  them  to  my  office,  so  that  they  may  be  distributed  where  they 
will  serve  the  purpose  for  which  they  have  been  issued. 

I  bespeak  your  careful  attention  to  this  matter  and  your  hearty  cooperation 
in  this  important  public  health  movement. 

Very  truly  yours.  J.  Y.  JoYNiat, 

tiupcrinteuilGnt  of  Puhlic  Instruction.

TEACHER-TRAINING. 

County  Superintendents:  Raleigh.  January  17,  1910. 

We  are  planning  the  institute  work  for  the  coming  summer.  Already  the  list 
of  conductors  and  assistants  is  largely  made  up.  Enclosed  find  copy  of  a  letter 
sent  to  them,  from  which  you  can  see  something  of  the  plan  of  work.  As  the 
conference  for  these  workers  cannot  be  called  earlier  than  June  7,  we  hope 
that  no  county  will  have  its  institute  before  June  13. 

Please  fill  out  the  blanks  below  the  perforated  line  and  return  to  this  office 

at  once.  Very  truly,

SCALING  APPLICATIONS  FOR  AID  FROM  SECOND  $100,000  TO  PROVIDE 

FOUR-MONTHS  TERM. 

To  the  County  SupeHntendent.  Raleigh,  January  25,  1910. 

Dear  Sir  : — Contrary  to  our  expectations,  the  applications  for  aid  from  the 
second  hundred  thousand  dolhirs  for  a  four-months  school  term,  under  the  new 
law,  exceeded  the  available  appropriation  .?23.376.5S,  again  rendering  it  neces- 
sary to  scale  the  amounts  so  as  to  bring  them  within  the  available  appropria- 
tion. 

Twenty-one  counties  requested  more  than  they  raised  after  levying  the  maxi- 
mum special  tax  on  property  and  polls ;  the  amounts  to  which  these  twenty-one 
counties  were  legally  entitled,  according  to  their  applications,  aggregating 
$66,080.17.  Twenty  counties  raised  by  special  taxation  as  much  as  they  were 
legally  entitled  to  ask  from  the  State  appropriation  for  a  four-months  school, 
their  legal  requests  from  the  second  hundred  thousand  dollars  amounting  to 
$26,857.38.  Twenty-three  counties  raised  more  by  special  taxation  on  property 
and  polls  than  they  could  be  legally  allowed  from  the  second  hundred  thousand 
dollars,  the  amounts  which  they  could  be  legally  allowed  aggregating  $29,238.52. 

As  the  appropriation  was  insufficient  to  meet  the  legal  requests,  the  State 
Board  of  Education  deemed  it  just  to  scale  most  those  that  raised  least  and 
asked  most;  to  scale  next  those  that  raised  as  much  as  they  were  legally 
entitled  to  ask,  and  to  scale  least  those  that  raised  more  than  they  were 
legally  entitled  to  ask  from  the  State  appropriation. 

According  to  this  method  of  scaling,  the  amount  to  which  the  following  coun- 
ties were  entitled,  upon  the  face  of  their  applications,  were  scaled  SSy^  per 
cent:  Alleghany,  Ashe,  Bladen,  Caldwell,  Cherokee,  Hyde,  Wilkes;  the  follow- 
ing counties  20  per  cent :  Alexander,  Camden,  Carteret,  Caswell,  Dare,  Hender- 
son, Jackson,  Madison,  Mitchell,  Pamlico,  Stokes,  Transylvania,  Watauga, 
Yancey.  The  following  counties  were  scaled  16%  per  cent :  Chatham,  Cleve- 
land, Granville,  McDowell,  Randolph.  The  following  counties  were  scaled  10 
per  cent:  Anson,  Brunswick,  Clay,  Cumberland,  Graham,  Greene,  Harnett, 
Jones,  Lincoln,  Macon,  Montgomery,  Onslow,  Pender,  Polk,  Surry.  The  follow- 
ing counties  also  were  scaled  10  per  cent :  Catawba,  Columbus,  Franklin,  Lee, 
Moore,  Rockingham,  Sampson,  Rutherford,  Union,  Yadk'in.  The  following 
counties  were  scaled  5  per  cent :  Burke,  Currituck,  Davidson,  Duplin,  Gates, 
Hertford,  Iredell,  Northampton,  Orange,  Perquimans,  Stanly,  Warrenton, 
Washington. 

Your  attention  is  called  to  the  fact  that  the  scaling  in  each  instance  was 
calculated  not  on  the  excess  requested  by  the  county,  but  on  the  actual  amount 
to  which  the  county  was  legally  entitled  after  deducting  from  the  application 
items  of  expense  which  could  not  be  legally  allowed  from  the  second  hundred 
thousand,  such  as  installments  on  the  Loan  Fund,  appropriations  to  high 
schools,  excess  of  teachers'  salary  over  the  average  for  the  State,  etc. 

According  to  this  method  of  scaling,  your  county  will  receive  from  the  sec- 
ond hundred  thousand  dollars  for  a  four-months  school  term  $ 

If  the  applications  from  the  twenty-one  counties  receiving  more  from  the 
State  appropriation  than  they  raised  by  the  special  tax  had  not  greatly  ex- 


ClKCULAR-LETTERS.  181 

ceeded  the  applications  from  the  same  counties  last  year,  if  the  number  of 
counties  asking  aid  had  not  been  increased  eleven  this  year,  and  the  salaries  of 
teachers  increased  in  most  instances  to  the  average  allowed  by  law,  the  special 
State  appropriation  of  $100,000,  supplemented  by  the  special  tax  of  these  coun- 
ties, would  have  been  ample  to  have  supplied  all  demands  for  a  four-months 
school  and  to  have  left  a  balance  of  several  thousand  dollars  to  apportion  per 
capita  among  all  the  counties  of  the  State.  I  could  not,  of  course,  foresee  these 
increased  demands  from  these  counties  in  making  the  estimates  for  the  last 
General  Assembly  which  were  based  upon  the  applications  of  last  year. 

Your  attention  is  called  to  the  fact  that  all  the  funds  received  from  the 
special  county  tax  levied  under  section  4112  and  apportioned  from  the  second 
hundred  thousand  dollars  under  sections  4099-4105  must  be  used  exclusively  for 
providing  a  four-mouths  school  term  in  every  school  district  and  for  equalizing, 
as  nearly  as  may  be,  the  terms  of  all  the  public  schools  of  said  county.  Any 
other  use  of  one  cent  of  this  money  is  a  misappropriation  of  funds  and  a  viola- 
tion of  the  law.  You  are  urged  to  secure  a  full  four-mouths  term  in  every 
district  if  possible  with  the  aid  of  this  money ;  and,  if  necessary  to  do  this,  use 
a  part  of  the  building  fund  set  aside,  and  reduce,  if  possible,  contingent  ex- 
penses. Very  truly  yours, 

J.  Y,   JOYNEK, 

Superintendent  of  Public  Instruction. 


DEPARTMENT  OF  SUPERINTENDENCE  OF  NATIONAL  EDUCATION  AS- 
SOCIATION—PAYMENT   OF    EXPENSES    OF   SUPERINTENDENTS    BY 

BOARDS  OF  EDUCATION. 

Raleigh,  February  10,  1910. 

Dear  Sib  : — The  Department  of  Superintendence  of  the  National  Education 
Association  holds  an  annual  meeting.  The  next  meeting  will  be  held  in  In- 
dianapolis, March  1st  to  4th.  This  meeting  is  largely  attended  by  the  leading 
city  and  State  superintendents  of  this  coimtry.  It  is  a  meeting  of  great  value 
and  of  National  importance.  I  feel  that  we  have  a  system  of  city  schools  in 
North  Carolina  of  which  the  State  may  justly  be  proud.  For  the  honor  of 
the  State  and  for  the  benefit  of  these  schools,  North  Carolina  and  her  city 
schools  should  be  represented  at  this  meeting.  I  am  satisfied  that  the  State 
has  suffered  heretofore  for  the  lack  of  representation  in  such  National  educa- 
tional gatherings.  Last  year,  out  of  an  attendance  of  about  2,000  superin- 
tendents, there  was  barely  representation  from  North  Carolina. 

It  is  the  almost  universal  custom  among  the  cities  of  other  States  to  pay  the 
expenses  of  the  superintendents  of  their  schools  to  these  meetings.  The  sala- 
ries of  most  of  om"  superintendents  will  not  justify  them  in  attending  unless 
their  expenses  are  paid.  I  write,  therefore,  to  urge  your  board  to  arrange 
to  defray  the  expenses  of  your  superintendent  to  attend  these  annual  meetings. 
I  feel  sure  that  your  schools  and  the  State  will  derive  much  benefit  from  their 
attendance,  and  that  such  an  expenditure  will  be  one  of  the  wisest  that  can 
be  made  by  your  board.  It  would  also  be  a  just  recognition  of  the  faithful 
services  of  your  superintendent.     He  would  probably  return  filled  with  enthusi- 


182  Circular-letters. 

asm  and  with  many  valuable  ideas  for  the  improvement  of  his  work.  In 
addition,  his  attendance  would  be  an  excellent  advertisement  of  your  schools 
and  of  your  State. 

The  general  meeting  of  the  National  Education  Association  will"  be  held  this 
year  in  Boston  the  first  week  in  .July.  Many  of  our  superintendents,  county 
and  city,  and  a  very  large  number  of  teachers  expect  to  attend,  and,  in  fact, 
have  expressed  their  intention  to  attend  this  meeting.  If  arrangements  can- 
not be  made  to  send  your  superintendent  to  the  department  meetings  at  Indian- 
apolis, I  would  urge  you  to  insist  upon  his  attending  the  general  meeting  and 
provide  for  meeting  his  expenses  out  of  the  school  funds.  The  community 
will  be  more  than  repaid  for  this  investment. 

Very  truly  yours,  J.  Y.  Joyner, 

Superintendent  of  Puhlic  Instruciion. 


TliVlE  TO  CALL  LOCAL-TAX  ELECTIONS. 
To  the  County  Superintendent:  Kaleigh.  March  1.  1910. 

It  is  the  desire  of  the  Educational  Campaign  Committee  to  do  as  much 
systematic,  effective  work  for  local  taxation  as  possible  between  now  and  the 
first  Monday  in  June,  when  the  tax  levies  for  the  year  are  made  by  the  county 
commissioners  of  the  respective  counties  of  the  State. 

In  oi'der  that  we  may  accomplish  the  most  possible  within  the  next  sixty- 
five  or  seventy  days,  it  will  be  of  great  value  to  us  if  you  will  give  the  de- 
sired information  relative  to  the  work  in  yovir  county  by  filling  and  returning 
the  enclosed  blank. 

We  wish  to  call  your  attention  to'  the  fact  that  if  the  election  is  not  called 
in  tinje  to  have  levy  made  the  first  Monday  in  June  of  this  year,  the  tax 
cannot  be  levied  until  the  first  Monday  in  June,  1911. 

Remember  that  thirty  days'  public  notice  is  required  before  an  election  can 
be  held.  The  regular  meetings  of  the  County  Board  of  Commissioners  at 
which  elections  can  be  ordered  in  time  for  special  tax  to  be  levied  this  year 
are  April  4th  and  May  2d. 

If  an  election  is  ordered  later  than  May  2d  the  tax  levy  cannot  be  made 
until  June,  3911,  unless  a  called  meeting  of  the  County  Board  of  Commission- 
ers is  held  so  as  to  give  thirty  days'  public  notice  of  election  before  Jime  Gth, 
which  is  the  date  the  special-tax  levies  for  the  fiscal  year  will  be  made. 

We  send  you  some  blank  petitions  and  returns  for  elections  under  section 
4115  of  the  Public  School  Law,  and  some  leaflets  on  local  taxation,  and  will 
gladly  furnish  any  additional  number  desired. 

Use  the  closing  exercises  of  your  schools  during  March.  April,  and  May  for 
sowing  seeds  for  local  taxation  and  school  improvement.  Command  us  for 
any  help  that  we  can  render.  The  expenses  of  speakers  sent  by  us  to  aid 
you  in  this  worlc  will  be  paid  by  us,  and  witliout  expense  to  you  or  yom- 
people.  Very  truly  yours,  J.  Y.  Joyner, 

Superintendent  of  PuWie  Instruction.

ESTIMATE  OF   FUNDS   NEEDED  TO   PROVIDE  A  FOUR-MONTHS  TERM. 

Raleigh,  April  26,  1910. 

To  the  Chairman  of  the  County  Board  of  Commissioners. 

Dear  Sir  : — I  euclose  a  copy  of  the  blauk  for  the  itemized  statement  of 
school  receipts  and  expenses  required  to  be  submitted  by  the  County  Board 
of  Education  to  your  board  as  a  basis  for  tlie  levying  of  the  special  tax  to 
provide  a  four-^lOutbs  school  in  every  district  in  your  county,  in  accordance 
with  the  special  act  of  the  General  Assembly  of  1909  and  in  fulfillment  of  the 
requirement  of  Article  IX,  section  3,  of  the  Constitution  of  North  Carolina. 
I  enclose,  also,  a  copy  of  my  letter  to  th'e  Coimty  Superintendent  and  the 
County  Board  of  Education  in  regard  to  the  preparation  of  this  statement. 
Examine  this  blauli  and  read  carefully  the  letter.  I  beg  the  hearty  coopera- 
tion of  your  board  with  the  County  Board  of  Education  in  securing  as  eco- 
nomically as  possible  the  best  possible  public  school  in  every  school  district  of 
your  county. 

I  beg  to  call  your  attention  to  the  act  of  the  General  Assembly  of  1909, 
under  which  this  estimate  is  made  and  tliis  tax  is  required  to  be  levied,  a 
copy  of  which  is  enclosed.  As  guardians  of  the  public  interest,  the  Board  of 
County  Commissioners  ought  to  be  and  will  be,  I  believe,  equally  interested 
with  the  County  Board  of  Education  in  providing  the  best  schools  that  the 
county  is  able  to  afford  for  at  least  four  months  in  every  school  district ;  and 
the  County  Board  of  Education  ought  to  be  and  will  be,  I  believe,  equally 
interested  with  the  Board  of  County  Commissioners  in  securing  those  schools 
as  economically  as  is  consistent  with  the  requirements  of  thorough  instruc- 
tion, good  equipment,  and  efficient  supervision.  It  is  my  earnest  hope  and 
my  confident  belief,  therefore,  that  there  will  be  the  heartiest  cooperation 
between  these  two  boards  in  the  enforcement  of  this  law. 

I  will  thank  you  to  lay  this  letter  and  its  enclosures  before  your  Board  of 
County  Commissioners  at  its  next  regular  meeting. 

Very  truly  yours,  J.  Y.  Joyner, 

State  Superintendent  of  Puhlic  Instruction. 


PLANS  FOR  OPENING  AND  HOLDING  TEACHERS'  INSTITUTES-

COMPENSATION   OF   CONDUCTORS   AND   ASSISTANTS. 

While  the  State  Department  of  Education  does  not  fix  the  compensation  of   ' 
conductors  and  assistants,  custom  has  established  a  rate  that  may  be  regarded 
as  equitable.     It  is  to  pay  the  conductor  $100  for  his  two  weeks'  services  and 
the  assistant  $55.     They,  of  course,  bear  their  own  expenses. 

INSTITUTES   FOR  NEGROES. 

Provision  should  be  made  for  holding  an  Institute  for  the  negroes,  preferably 
at  the  same  time  as  for  the  whites.  We  have  a  list  of  available  negro  con- 
ductors on  file  in  this  office,  and  should  be  glad  to  suggest  the  names  of  any  on 
application. 

SUPPLIES. 

See  to  it  that  your  book  depository  have  the  following  materials  on  hand, 
enough  to  supply  all  of  your  teachers : 

Webb  and  Ware's  Drawing  I, 
Graded  Classics,  I  and  II, 
Classics,  Old  and  New,  III, 
Claxton's  Grimm's  Fairy  Stories, 
Hiawatha  Primer, 
McMurry's  Robinson  Crusoe, 
Baldwin's  Fifty  Famous  Stories, 
Dixon's  Special  Black  Pencil,  No.  321, 
Tennyson's  Idyls  of  the  King. 

Of  course,  if  the  teachers  already  have  these  books,  all  that  will  be  neces- 
sary will  be  to  bring  them  along. 

The  Idyls  of  the  King  should  be  ordered  from  the  publishers,  the  Mac- 
millan  Company,  of  New  York,  at  once.  Arrangements  have  been  made  by 
which  the  books  may  be  shipped  directly  to  the  county  superintendents  f.  o.  b., 
and  sold  to  the  teachers  at  25  cents  a  copy,  with  the  privilege  of  returning  all 
unsold  copies.  However,  it  is  better  to  order  too  few  copies  than  too  many,  as 
it  entails  useless  expense  in  returning  the  unsold  copies.  In  ordering  these 
books,  do  not  forget  to  mention  that  the  order  is  made  in  accordance  with  the 
arrangement  made  between  the  publishers  and  the  State  Supervisor  of 
Teacher-training. 

PREPARATION. 

Much  of  the  success  of  the  institute  will  depend  upon  having  all  things 
ready  for  the  opening.  Work  ought  to  begin  on  the  very  first  day,  and  at 
the  first  session.  It  will  be  found  more  satisfactory  to  have  a  morning  and 
an  afternoon  session,  with  an  intermission  of  an  hour  or  an  hour  and  a  half  for 
dinner.  Other  intermissions  may  be  arranged  to  suit  convenience.  By  all 
means  there  should  be  obtained  a  well-lighted,  well-ventilated  hall  for  holding 
the  institute;  there  should  be  ample  blackboard  space,  with  crayon  and  erasers; 
a  cooler  for  ice-water  should  be  provided,  if  possible.  One  of  the  most  impor- 
tant things  to  have  is  a  piano  or  organ.  An  ideal  arrangement  would  be  to 
hold  the  institute  in  a  graded-school  building,  where  the  teachers  would  have 


CiRCULAR-LETTEKS.  185 

desks  on  which  to  write  with  comfort  and  ease.  The  institute  is  to  partalie  of 
the  nature  of  a  school,  aud  will  therefore  be  crippled  in  its  work  in  proportion 
as  proper  facilities  for  doing  good  school  work  are  not  provided.  Teachers 
should  be  notified  at  once  to  attend  the  institute,  and  should  be  informed  as 
to  what  materials  they  should  bring. 

EDUCATIONAL  EALLIES. 

Circulars  have  been  sent  out  for  announcing  educational  rallies.  At  least 
two  rallies  should  be  held  during  the  institute,  the  last  one  being  at  the 
county-seat  or  wherever  the  institute  is  held.  The  first  Saturday  of  the 
institute  is  suggested  as  a  good  date  for  the  first  rally.  The  institute  con- 
ductor is  expected  to  speak  at  these  meetings,  though  other  speakers  may  be 
secured.  An  earnest  effort  should  be  made  to  secure  the  attendance  of  school 
oflicials,  leading  citizens  aud  friends  of  education  generally  at  these  rallies. 
Much  good  may  be  accomplished  if  they  are  properly  managed. 

BULLETINS. 

A  supply  of  institute  manuals,  and  the  bulletins  on  Outline  Course  of  Study 
and  How  to  Teach  Reading  will  be  sent  in  ample  time  to  each  county  holding 
an  institute.  The  lesson  outlines  that  are  being  prepared  are  for  the  use  of 
conductors  and  assistants  only. 

MOEAL  SUPPOKT. 

It  is  the  duty  of  the  County  Superintendent  to  give  his  moral  support  aud 
encouragement  to  the  work  of  the  institute.  He  should  be  a  constant  attendant 
and  student.  His  work  of  supervision  over  the  county  schools  will  be  materi- 
ally strengthened  if  he  familiarize  himself  with  the  methods  of  teaching  exem- 
plified in  the  institute.  It  is  especially  important  that  the  County  Superin- 
tendent encourage  the  introduction  of  phonetics  aud  more  rational  methods  of 
teaching  reading  and  language  among  his  teachers.  The  State  Department  of 
Education  expects  and  demands  better  teaching  on  these  and  kindred  subjects 
henceforth. 

BEADING  COUESE. 

Last,  but  by  no  means  least,  be  sure  to  organize  your  teachers  into  the 
Reading  Circle  for  1910-'ll  before  the  institute  closes.  The  course  for  the 
ensuing  year  has  been  selected,  and  arrangements  should  be  made  for  ordering 
the  books  at  once.  Remember  that  the  four-year  course  leads  to  a  diploma ; 
that  it  is  made  the  basis  of  examination  on  Theory  and  Practice ;  that  no 
teacher  who  does  not  take  the  course  may  hope  to  have  a  renewal  of  certificate. 

Hoping  that  your  coming  institute  will  prove  the  best  ever  held  in  your 
county,  we  remain,  Sincerely, 

J.   Y.    JOYNER, 

J.  A.  BrviNS,  Superintendent  of  Public  Instructiwi.

ANNUAL    MEETING    NATIONAL    EDUCATION    ASSOCIATION,    BOSTON, 

JULY  2-8,  1910. 

Raleigh,  Jime  6,   1910. 

Dear  Sir  : — The  annual  meeting  of  the  National  Education  Association  will 
be  held  in  Boston.  July  2d  to  8th.  This  is  said  to  be  the  largest  educational 
association  in  the  world.  At  the  meeting  in  Boston  in  1903  there  was  a  regis- 
tered attendance  of  So.OOO.  Such  a  meeting  of  the  leading  educators  of  this 
country  will  be  full  of  inspiration  and  profit  to  those  attending  it.  Special 
railroad  rates  of  about  one  and  one-third  first-class  fare  for  the  round  trij) 
and  reduced  rates  of  board  have  been  secured.  The  entire  expense  of  attend- 
ing this  meeting  would  probably  range  from  $50  to  $75. 

For  the  honor  of  the  State,  for  the  good  to  the  cause  of  education  in  North 
Carolina,  and  the  benefit  that  those  attending  the  meeting  w^ill  derive,  I  should 
like  to  see  a  representative  delegation  from  our  State  at  the  Boston  meeting. 
Knowing  that  in  most  instances  the  salary  of  superintendents  is  too  small  to 
justify  their  attendance  at  their  own  expense,  I  beg  to  suggest  that,  if  your 
superintendent  has  been  faithful  and  successful  in  the  performance  of  his 
duties  this  year,  and  has  manifested  a  spirit  of  progress,  it  would  be  a  beauti- 
ful expression  of  appreciation  and  a  profitable  investment  for  future  educa- 
tional progress  in  your  schools  if  you  could  supplement  his  salary  by  paying 
all  or  a  part  of  his  expenses  to  the  Boston  meeting  of  the  National  Educa- 
tion Association,  provided  your  school  fund  is  sufiicient  to  justify  this  expendi- 
ture. Progressive  superintendents  ought  to  be  encouraged  by  progressive 
boards  of  education  in  keeping  in  line  with  the  progressive  educational  thought 
of  the  State  and  the  Nation,  and  in  getting  fresh  inspiration  and  new  infor- 
mation from  great  educational  gatherings  to  bring  back  to  their  own  work. 

Very  truly  yours,  J.  Y.  Joyn^:e. 

State  Superintendent  of  Public  Instruction. 


SANITATION   AND   AGRICULTURE  TO   BE   EMPHASIZED   IN 
TEACHERS'  INSTITUTES. 

County  Superintendents:  Raleigh,  June  15,  1910. 

We  desire  your  cooperation  in  an  important  matter  affecting  the  work  of 
the  county  institutes.  It  is  to  make  provision  for  laying  special  emphasis  on 
sanitation  and  agriculture,  two  subjects  that  affect  profoundly  the  health  and 
future  life-work  of  the  children. 

Our  plan  is,  first,  to  have  a  reputable  physician  in  each  county  where  an 
institute  is  held  to  deliver  two  talks:  one  to  the  teachers,  explaining  how  to 
make  eye  and  ear  tests,  and  how  to  detect  the  presence  of  disease  among  the 
children ;  the  other'  on  rally  day,  treating  in  popular  style  the  subjects  of 
better  sanitation,  preventable  diseases,  the  prevention  and  cure  of  tuberculosis, 
etc.  To  bring  this  about,  we  ask  that  you  suggest  the  names  of  one  or  more 
physicians  who  are  competent  to  do  this  work.     These  names  will  be  handtxl 


CiRCULAK-LETTERS.  187 

to  Dr.  W.  S.  Raukin,  Secretary  of  the  State  Board  of  Health,  who  will  \\rite 
to  the  physicians  mentioned  and  tell  thoui  specifically  what  points  to  empha- 
size in  their  talks.  In  case  your  institute  convenes  within  the  next  few  days, 
do  not  wait  to  send  in  the  names,  but  select  the  physician  yourself  and  let 
him  do  the  best  he  can  according  to  the  above  general  suggestions. 

Second.  Prof.  K.  II.  Mclutyre,  of  Holly  Springs,  has  pre])ared  with  great 
care  some  simple  experiments  relating  to  soils  and  sood  germination.  The 
apparatus  which  he  uses,  and  which  he  carries  with  him,  is  inexpensive,  and 
can  be  rigged  up  by  any  teacher  in  the  rural  schools.  In  two  days'  time  Pro- 
fessor Mclntyre  can  so  instruct  the  teachers  of  an  institute  that  they  will  be 
able  to  perform  the  same  experiments  in  their  schools.  This  will  work  a 
revolution  in  the  teaching  of  agriculture.  Professor  Mclutyre  performed  his 
experiments  before  the  conference  of  institute  conductors  which  met  in  Ra- 
leigh June  Tth,  and  convinced  every  one  present  of  their  practicability  and 
value.  His  style  is  unique  and  interesting.  He  will  not  fail  to  hold  his  crowd 
and  impress  them  with  his  lessons.  He  is  no  theorist,  but  has  actually 
demonstrated  his  I'xperiments  in  his  own  school.  It  may  be  further  added 
that  he  runs  a  very  successful  farm  school  in  connection  with  his  high  school, 
and  can  fully  explain  how  such  an  enterprise  may  be  started  and  conducted. 

Since  there  is  no  fund  by  which  the  State  Department  of  Education  may  pay 
Professor  Mclntyre's  expenses,  his  services  will  therefore  be  available  only  to 
those  counties  that  can  afford  the  small  outlay.  He  pays  his  own  traveling 
expenses,  Including  hotel  bills.  He  will  put  in  two  days  at  an  institute,  and 
asks  $10  a  day  for  his  services.  This  is  the  same  rate  of  pay  as  is  given  to  a 
conductor,  and  will  be  found  reasonable  when  it  is  considered  that  Professor 
Mclntyre  cannot  put  in  as  much  time  at  work,  since  he  has  to  take  up  consid- 
erable time  in  traveling. 

If  you  desire  his  presence  at  your  institute,  please  let  me  know  at  once,  so 
that  I  may  arrange  his  schedule.  Very  truly, 

J.  A.  BiviNs, 
iiuper visor  of  Teachcr-tiainihc/. 


UNIFORM    QUESTIONS    FOR    COUNTY    EXAMINATION     PREPARED    BY 
STATE   DEPARTMENT— EXAMINATION   AT  CLOSE   OF   INSTITUTE. 

County  Superintendents:  li-VLEKiii.  .Tune  23.  IfllO. 

Uniform  questions  for  the  regular  July  examination  are  being  prepare*!  and 
vA'ill  be  ready  for  distribution  in  a  few  days. 

Several  superintendents  of  counties  where  institutes  are  to  be  held  this 
summer  have  requested  that  the  examination  be  deferred  until  the  close  of  the 
institute.  While  it  is  not  good  policy  to  end  an  institute  with  an  examination, 
yet,  for  the  convenience  of  teachers  and  superintendents,  it  may  be  permitted. 
However,  if  the  examination  is  held  at  a  time  other  than  that  prescribed  by 
law,  the  county  superintendent  and  the  institute  conductor  must  prepare  the 


188  Circular-letters. 

questions  on  all  subjects  except  Theory  and  Practice.  The  questions  on  Theory 
and  Tractice  are  based  on  the  work  of  the  Reading  Circle,  and  must  be  uni- 
form. 

Remember  that  the  teachers  who  joined  the  Reading  Circle,  and  who  have 
read  Hamilton's  The  Recitation,  and  who  hold  a  First-grade  Teacher's  Certifi- 
cate, should  be  excused  from  standing  the  examination  on  all  subjects  except 
Theory  and  Practice.  Teachers  who  did  not  join  the  Reading  Circle  should  be 
required  to  stand  on  everything.  A  distinction  must  and  should  be  made  be- 
tween those  who  seek  professional  improvement  and  those  who  do  not. 

Where  the  superintendent  and  institute  conductor  make  out  the  questions 
for  examination,  let  the  teachers  know  that  the  questions  will  be  based,  as  far 
as  possible,  on  the  work  of  the  institute.  This  will  serve  to  keep  the  attention 
of  the  teachers  from  being  diverted  from  the  institute  to  making  preparation 
for  examination. 

Furthermore,  let  it  be  understood  that  the  time  of  the  institute  must  not  be 
taken  up  with  the  examination.  By  no  means  should  the  examination  begin 
until  after  the  "rally-day"  exercises  on  Friday,  the  last  day  of  the  institute. 
It  may  then  continue  through  Saturday.  Where  the  legal  examination  day 
comes  during  the  last  week  of  an  institute,  the  examination  may  be  post- 
poned to  begin  on  Friday,  as  above  indicated,  and  the  uniform  questions  may 
then  be  used.  Very  truly  yours,  J.  Y.  Joyner, 

Superintendent  of  Public  Instruction. 
J.  A.  BrviNS, 

Supervisor  of  Teacher-training. 


QUESTIONS   AND    EXAMINATION    FOR   STATE   CERTIFICATES. 

To  the  County  Superintendent.  Raleigh,  June  30,  1910. 

Dear  Sib  : — Questions  for  the  examination  of  applicants  for  the  High-school 
Teacher's  Certificate  and  the  Five-year  State  Teacher's  Certificate  will  be  sent 
to  you  shortly,  in  sealed  packages.  These  are  to  be  opened  on  the  first  day  of 
the  examination,  .July  14th,  in  the  presence  of  applicants. 

You  will  note  that  the  questions  on  each  subject  are  not  on  separate  sheets 
this  year,  as  heretofore.  Only  one  subject  at  the  time,  however,  should  be 
given  to  applicants,  and  all  applicants  should  take  the  same  subject  at  the 
same  time.  The  questions  on  that  subject  may  be  easily  torn  from  the  large 
sheet. 

Please  requii'e  all  applicants  to  use  foolscap  or  legal-cap  size  paper,  write 
with  ink.  fasten  the  sheets  prepared  on  each  subject  in  their  consecutive  order, 
and  to  fold  papers  flat  if  they  have  to  be  folded.  We  prefer  to  have  you  send 
the  papers  to  us  flat,  without  folding,  if  you  can  conveniently  do  so. 

Special  directions  relating  to  the  preparation  of  papers  are  given  on  the  last 
page  of  the  "Directions  to  Applicants,"  a  copy  of  which  will  be  enclosed  with 
the  questions.  Read  these  carefully  to  the  applicants  before  you  begin  the 
examination.      Emphasize  the  importance  of  following  them  closely. 


Circular-letters.  189 

It  is  your  duty  to  use  every  precaution  to  have  the  examination  conducted 
fairly  and  honestly.  Applicants  should  be  seated  in  such  a  way  as  to  avoid 
the  appearance,  or  possibility,  of  cheating.  It  is  necessary  for  you  to  be 
pi'esent  throughout  the  entire  examination  and  supervise  the  work  of  it.  The 
State  Board  of  Examiners  has  had  considerable  trouble  on  account  of  lax 
supervision  by  conductors,  and  a  few  applicants  have  been  distressingly  embar- 
rassed because  of  negligence  in  this  respect. 

All  examination  papers  must  be  put  into  the  post-office,  or  express  office,  not 
later  than  the  afternoon  of  July  15th,  when  the  examination  closes,  properly 
addressed  to  Allen  J.  Babwick,  Secretary  State  Board  of  Examiners,  Raleigh, 
N.  C.  No  excuse  can  be  accepted  in  any  case  for  failure  to  comply  with  this 
requirement.  Very  truly  yours,  J.  Y.  .Toyner, 

Superintendent  of  Public  Instruction. 


DECISIONS  OF  STATE  SUPERINTENDENT. 


Pay  for  Taking  Census  in  District  Operating  Under  Special  Cliarter. — ■ 
Should  be  paid  for  in  same  manner  as  census  in  otlier  districts.  Special  char- 
ter does  not  necessarily  prevent  district  from  being  in  all  other  respects  a 
public  school  district  as  usually  considered. 

Additional  Apportionment  Out  of  Contingent  Fund. — The  County  Board  of 
Education  has  authority  to  make  an  additional  apportionment  out  of  the  con- 
tingent fund  to  a  district,  sutficient  to  meet  the  deficit  for  necessary  purposes, 
if  it  is  deemed  by  that  board  necessary,  fair,  and  equitable,  in  order  to  get  a 
full  four-months  school  term. 

New  Board  Bound  by  Contracts  of  Old. — All  contracts  made  by  one  board 
of  education  in  an  official  capacity  will,  of  course,  be  binding  upon  its  suc- 
cessor. 

Committee  of  Special-tax  District. — Under  section  4115  of  the  School  Law 
directing  the  Coimty  Board  of  Education  to  appoint  a  committee  for  special- 
tax  district,  the  local  committee  in  special-tax  district  supersedes  the  township 
rommittee  in  authority  and  control  of  that  district,  the  township  committee 
(section  41-45)  retaining  authority  only  over  the  other  districts  of  the  town- 
ship. 

Funds  for  Dormitory. — There  is  no  legal  authority  for  using  any  part  of  the 
school  fund  or  the  special  local-tax  fvmd  for  building  a  dormitory  to  be  used 
in  connection  with  a  public  high  school.  The  same  rule  applies  to  the  use  of 
the  Loan  Fvmd. 

Local-tax  Election — Ordered,  When. — An  election  for  special-school  tax, 
under  section  4115,  Revisal,  can  be  ordered  on  the  first  Monday  in  May,  notice 
given  at  once,  registration  books  opened  at  once — kept  open  twenty  days,  chal- 
lenge day  fixed  for  May  29th — some  day  during  the  following  week  before  the 
day  of  election  fixed  by  registrar  and  judges  for  hearing  and  deciding  chal- 
lenges, and  have  the  election  held  in  time  to  make  returns  and  have  tax  levy 
made  on  the  first  Monday  in  June,  1909. 

Special-tax  Fund  Belongs  to  District. — Funds  raised  by  special  taxation 
must  remain  to  credit  of  special-tax  district  until  used  and  paid  out  by  oi*der 
of  committee  of  such  district,  and  are,  under  no  circumstances,  subject  to  re- 
apportionment by  the  county  board. 

Right  to  Vote  in  Special-tax  Elections  After  Removal  from  District. — A 
person  who  has  moved  his  residence  from  one  township  to  another  in  the 
same  county  cannot  return  within  four  months  to  the  place  from  whence  he 
removed,  and  thei*e  vote  on  the  question  of  a  special  tax  for  the  precinct.

Decision's  of  State  Superintendent.  iUl 

Special-tax  Funds  for  Additional  Teaclier. — Special-tax  fuuds  may  be  used 
to  pay  for  services  of  an  additional  teacher,  not  previously  allowed  by  Covmty 
Board  of  Education,  if  committee  deems  it  necessary  to  employ  such  additional 
teacher :  but  such  employment  must  be  approved  by  County  Board  of  Educa- 
tion.   . 

Installment  on  Loan  Fund  Not  to  Be  Considered  Apportionment  to  District 
for  Four-months  Term. — In  making  up  estimate  of  fuuds  needed  to  provide  a 
four-months  term,  allowance  is  not  to  be  made  for  installment  of  loan  fund. 
In  other  words,  it  would  not  be  fair  or  just  to  allow  for  four-months  term 
and  then  apportion  enough  additional  to  meet  installment  on  loan,  for  the 
reason  that  such  allowance  would  be  the  equivalent  of  apportionment  from 
State  by  indirection. 

Maximum  Rate  Voted  May  Not  Be  Levied. — The  Board  of  County  Commis- 
sioners can  never  levy  more  than  the  maximum  rate  of  taxation  voted  for  by 
the  people  in  a  special-tax  district,  of  course ;  but  if  the  maximum  should 
provide  more  funds  than  needed,  upon  recommendation  of  the  County  Board 
of  Education,  it  would  be  lawful  to  make  the  levy  less  than  the  maximum 
voted. 

Cannot  Reduce  Rate  of  Tax  to  Be  Voted  After  Election  Has  Been  Called. — 
Such  reduction  would  be  equivalent  to  ordering  a  new  election,  and  the  same 
notice  would  have  to  be  given  after  the  reduction  as  if  no  notice  had  been 
issued  at  all. 

Tuition  in  Local-tax  District. — If  the  person  that  has  moved  into  the  special 
local-tax  district  has  come  into  the  district  to  make  his  permanent  home  there, 
he  is  entitled  *;o  the  benefits  of  the  school  without  tuition.  But  if  he  has 
moved  into  the  district  simply  to  get  the  benefits  of  the  school,  without  the 
intention  of  making  the  district  his  home,  he  must  submit  to  the  requirements 
of  the  local  school  board  in  regai-d  to  tuition.
