People who do lme the honor of reading my articles ill observe my Interest in school mattsrs. The fact Is, the school men and women In this day are being watched by a great cloud of witnesses who' are anxious to see the Idea of higher education carried 'out and bring; forth fruit for the glory ; - L. d,., , nA Ik. urntut txf IVim vniinff folks. Therefore .It 4s proper that much be spoken and written from every sec, tion where the good work is going on. And It gives roe pleasure from the standpoint of a man up the tree to put down in Cod type what X see as we go marching on to the , promised land In which we Will all be a part when the black cloud of Illiteracy has been lifted. ;Next week. 29th and JOth. the com mencement exercises of the Durham city graded schools will take place and the patrons of these schools who may pass through i th .; Morehead 5, school building will see much to interest them. It was the privilege and pleasure or the writer In company with Dr. Mnthe son, the superintendent, to take a recent look at the exhibits in this puuding. What the children have dons In ' the matter of drawing and manual train lnff Is wonderful but only an evidence of the talent which Is possessed by them. And we might add possessed by children alt over th State. But Dur ham Is the only town In the State hav ing a department of manual training and domestic science In Its schools. The result of experience In 4 these ' depart ments have been entirely ; satisfactory, So the superintendent Informs me, and be is one of th best and has well ,ln hand the graded school system in Dur ham, which, under his management and assisted by a score and more of faith ful teachers, has reached the ton-notch of excellence. Ills re-election has given satisfaction to everybody. " rawing lessons begin- In- the first grade and go through the tenth." And there are exhibitions of talent marvel ous tar my eyes. ; In connection . with this drawing Is the miniature farming according to the child's own notions of a "farm, and Its equipment; e There wis pencil work, including lettering - and pencil sketches, adorning the walls of the halls and recitation rooms, which will be a revelation to parents who wouldn't know how to draw a cat. jTie fact la the men and women of our day didn't, have opportunity to develop tal ent If they had any, 1 n ' this article I have not time to mention names but will cay that Ernest Seamon IS a born artist. His fondness lies In the direc tion of bird sketching and this talent will make him a rreat naturalist. In the description of birds' which he draws he Is also fine.' His work will attract attention. But the entire exhibit - is commendable and points the lesson bf a progress leading on to perfection. The exhibits from the department of manual training Is evidence of great skill. There are foot-stools, lamp-shades, tool-boxes, f letter-nies, towei-rscKs. towel-rollers, hat-racks, and many are made without having a lathe. This shop work begins with the seventh grade, but manual training really begins In the first grade and there are many lit tle articles on exhibition which were deftly made with the pocket knife. Sewing begins in the fifth grade and goes through to the end of th course, Cooking begins in the seventh grade. I didn't see a sample of the . cooking but know the girls understood it. There Is nothing that heeds more looking after than the duty of teaching girls jiow to be first-class cooks. The aver age man cores more for nice light roils, biscuit, broiled steak, trailed ham. ete., than for a solo, either Instrumental or vocal. The solo Is not to be overlooked by and means, however, but to hear one going on at the cook stove sounds as sweet as from the stage. The woman who can sing, not hum, and cook well at the same time, need not fear of being an old-maid If she desires to. not abide In that blissful estate. But the way to a man's heart la by a good dlt ner. And the Durham school practical ly show's that fact . Some days ego the writer saw the young ladles of the tenth grade on the street.! i They were going to the market to see the beef cut up and learn all the different parts and points. I didn't hear though that the butchers cut the price. The class then went to a grocery store and the young ladles gave an order for an ordinary dinner for a family of five or six per sons, dinner to cost from CO to 76 cents. These girls understood the names of things and when they Set up housekeep ing will not be 'phoning the merchants for "paralyzed sugar," ''fresh lealt4" "desecrated (jod-flsh,M and "condemned milk."; ?v-ty . ,)?, Cooking, sewing, drawing, 4 manual and mental training Is the work that our graded schools do for the children who attend. ; '..? The graduating class this year is an excellent one. They are ready for-col lege or for life's work. May each one be a somebody who will do great things for others. ;: ..:;' ;.-. ":.?;). "'?.!,. Everything is Interested in education, and It looks now as If the day is coming when an uneducated man or i woman will have no show except to the hewers of wood and drawers of water, But some on has said that an education cannot be given, only th opportunity. Pretty good idea. The - opportunity : now is available to everybody. It is an age ot books and schools and teachers.

It Is a hickory stick beautifully carved ; and ' polished, having been cut somewhere In the mountains of Tennessee. On the inside of the stick Is a picture of the "Bat tie of Lookout Mountain." which h speaks of as the "Battle ot the Clouds," Tom says that he and President Alder man In earlier days often', spoke to gether, probably when Tom was sha ing mm, : and that he loves no man under the sun as he does Dr. Alderman.

Even the pegro preachers, though often grosaly1 Ignorant them selves, are as a rule intensely active In promoting the education of ther people, As to the white preachers, the rprl" vatesl of th Methodist and Baptist churches are - with us at least the 'liumbler,; clergy. The only- possible ground for Mr. Ralph's statement Is the fact that a majority of these preach ers have opposed State aid to higher education, intending that while North Carol I mi was unable to offer even four months of school to the children, and was pennlttlng thousands of them to grow up In complete Ignorance, she should leave the college work to pri vats or ul least voluntary benevolence. and gty every cent ; that could be spared from the treasury to the chil dren, f 1 ' As an alumnus and friend of the Uni versity of North Carolina, I did not think the two conflicted. , Indeed, as time has proven, I believed the money thus ient well Invested, even, from the standpoint ot tnoso who sought the edu Cation, of the maRsea. Nevertheless, the men who opposed State aid to high er, education were almoBt without ex ception-Intense, persistent and force ful advocates of the education of every child In the State. The "humbler cler gy" of North Carolina have been among the chwf influences which have brought about our present determination , to give the best , posslhle , opportunity to every child In North ..Carolina, .; I am able to add that I have submit ted the foregoing statement to Hon. C. B. Aycock, whose powerful advocacy of this movement on the stump and In his Inaugural address has won for him the title of the Educational Governor, and that he indorses what I have written in most unqualified terms, . I send you herewith bis letter. I doubt not that you will give to this proven denial the widest publicity, to correct so far as possible' the Injury don by your corre spondent.

Yet the insect during Its breeding season, is . busy by tens of thousands in every orchard. : "The reason why the codling moth Is seen so rarely is that it alone among the many varieties otf moths has not the habit ot being attracted at night by a tight or flame, and lt has the faculty of secreting itself so completely during the day that the most violent disturb ance of its retreat does not cause It to take wing or move from Its ;: lurking places ir. the: orchard trees, the rough rcaly bark of which it so closely : re sembles that even if one of the Insects were resting on the exterior of the barkyir would defy the sharpest of eyes to detect.

It, comes from the cocoon at night and at once begins .de positing Its eggs. A codling moth's egg la nearly fiat and not: larger than a small plnhead; So small Is tt that al though the moth has : been know. ' to naturalists for nearly three centuries; It was only .four five years' ago its egg was discovered positively and described. The egg is deposited and glued to the surface of the apple, only a single egg on an apple. - If one codling moth finds that another one has already fas tened an egg on am apple It will not leave an egg of its own there, but will seek unipre-empted fruit. Each moth lays from eighty to one hundred eggs.
