Or. Winston’s Address.
It was our pleasure to hear the
able address of Dr. Winston, the
president of the Agricultural and
Mechanical College of North
Carolina, on last Saturday. The
address was made in the interest
of education and was well worthy
of the subject. There are no
[abler educators in the south
than Dr. Winston, and we feel
that hi.M efforts here will have a
most beneficial effect. He advo
cated a principal in education
that we have ever upheld—that
the hand should be educated as
well as the head. Wiiat the south
needs now is not so many pro
fessional men but more practical
woi-kers—men skilled in manu
facture and in handicraft.
It is with regret that we find
so few Transylvania boys taking
advantage of the state's effort to
educate them. Study up. boys;
go to the A. ct M. or to the Uni
versity. And then more of our
girls ought to go to the State
Normal at G reensboro. The cost
of tuition and living at these in
stitutions is very small.

reaching in their influence for
good government. The sale of

was so open that even the boys
could get it—now the traffic is al
most suppressed and what little

cloud of mystery which only the
initiated can pe}ietrate. Whis

cause it is virtually out of their

The promiscitous shooting of
firearms at t-nseemly hours
has ceased, ani for the past
