Interesting Addresa of Prof. Carlyle et
the Cloning of Anheboro Graded
School.
As stated la3t week the Asheboro
Graded School closed Thursday
night. The program appeared iu
our last issue. The feature of the
program was the address of Prof.
J no. B. Carlyle, of WaLe Forest
College.
Prof. Cttilyle is one of the best
known educators in the Old North
State and has taken an uctive in
terest in the forward movement
the State is making along education
al lines.
There is not in the State a more
versatile speaker than Professor
Carlyle, nor one more entertaining
in conversation.
His address last Thursday night
was "The Man of the Hour".
Every age has its peculiar spirit.
The age of Martin Luther whs one
of intense religious enthusiasm.
That of Columbus was pasion for
discovery; that of U. ie..-n Eliza ieh
was marked by deep devotion to
literary excellence.
The charac'trstio of our age is a
tribute to ideals of a Democracj.
Hence ours is intensely Democratic.
Addressiug his young hearers he
declared with us the inm (f the
hour must have knowledge. He
must know. Second he unut be
willing to dare. Ih'.rd, he must
have profound faith, not only in
his own ability but he mast have
faith in the ability of the Supreme
Being and rely upon him for aid in
all he undertakes. Fourth, with a
spirit of hopefulness he will aspiie
evei t greater tnings which, it is
possible for all to obtain who are
predominated by those four charae
teristics.
Oar 'people "heird Prof. Carlyle
with deep interest.
