May 8.1901. Great Tar Heels in Other States. Work Accomplished Abroad By Carolina' B Sons. (Special to the News & Obsrrvt r ) Greensboro, N. C., M;VV 1 President Charles I> ; Mo vci. who returned last night from Richmond, Va., where he U livered the commencement ad dress at the University College of Medicine, talked interesting!} to the News & Observer corres pondent today. He said: "I was very much impressed with the rapid development oi ,l,c University Collogo of Med, cine at Richmond, \a. It n.»> completed its eighth year. I was founded by Pr. . luntei . (- Ciuire and some twenty phyn ciaus associated with him c i s')'> There are now tity-ii\- i;o„,W» of the facnl.y, Dr. J. Aiiison Hodges as presi dent, and it has matriculated nearly two thousand stud.mt> from twenty-seven btates. IHe class which graduated last week numbered eighty-one, lepre senting eleven States. There were twenty North Carolinians in tlie class. •*Dr. Hodges is a native oi this State and has been with the college since it was founded Mrs. Hodges is the daughter of the late Julius A. Grav, o Greensboro. Dr. Ilodges Xoith Carolina friends have every reason to be proud of the work he is doing Recently I liavt been impressed more than usu al by the many successful men North Carolina is giving to other States. A conepiciou? part on the program at Rich mond was taken by Rev. Dr. Robert Strange, of Richmond, who is one oi the strongest preachers in the South, and i one of North Carolina's contrib utors to Virginia. It is inter esting also to remember thai the head of the I- niversity ot Virginia, Dr. Paul Barringer. and the head of the Theological Seminary in Richmond, Dr. \\ . W. Moore, are North Caroli nians, "When in Atlanta recently 1 saw Hon. Hoke Smith, a native North Carolinian, and one of the foremost educational states men of the South. I was glad to hear of the success in Atlan ta of men like Shepard Bryan, Charles L. Pettigrew and Frank B. Dancy. I was told that Rev. John E. White, who had re cently gone to Atlanta, was producing a very line impres sion, and that Rev. Dr. Charles Byrd was the best Methodist pieacher in Atlanta. The night I spent in Atlanta Rev. L. G. Broughton had a congregation of two or three thousand people at his tabernacle. At the South ern Conference for education a f Winston-Salem all of the vice presidents, Page of New York ; Rondthaler, of Winston-Salem, and E.C. Branson, of Georgia, are North Carolina people. Ite\\ Robert P. Pell, of South Caroli na, Dr. Alderman of Louisiana, were also members of the Win ston-Salem Conference. The two former am natives of North Carolina, and Dabney lived in the State for a number of years until he was called to Tennes see. '•lt is a great State that can send out so many strong men. It would be greater if it could keep them ittrTiome and use tlieni in its own development." ♦ ■ No man lives to himself alone. The rich and the poor are alike dependent upon each other. If all the poor people should leave this community the value of re:tl estate would decrease great ly ; business would fall off and the wheels of industry become practically idle;. As a commun ity then we owe something to these people as well as ourselves —something beside employ ment and the right of citizen ship and the wealthy citizen ought not to think that In is doing other than his duty when paying taxes for public benefits, chief among which is public education. An intelligent com munity is more prosperous than an ignorant community; an in telligent community can only come through educating the The New School Book Question, It is observed that in some of the counties, probably 15 to the county superintendents of education and county _ boards have been induced to write let ters endorsing the school books now in use, furnished by what is called the '"book trust. Some of the advocates of bettt and cheaper books —the main object of the Aycock law say that Attorneys have been so liciting some of the?e ]ct'ei> and that therefore their effect upon the State Board and text hook commission will not b great. lam told on good au thority that among the best teachers of the State theie is a pronounced demand fo" a change in many of these books. Because of this then potent tact the Aycock bill when lirsl introduced, and as the law pro vides, made provision for this so that it will not cost the pu pils or their parents any addi tional outlay of money. Schol irs already having these books uul not having completed them ire allowed to retain them un til the study of the volume is completed. The Confederate Veteran comps have sent in a lumber of appeals for the uloption of a school history writ ten and printed in the -oath, and which gives due ■redit to the soldiers of the con 'ederacy. Some of the histories •vhicli southern school children lave been required t> study vcreoutrageously unjust to tin South. The text book sub-committe viil make its report to the tex> look commission in a few days, tndthe school book question A-ill soon be settled —and set tled right, let us hope and be lieve . As To School Children. The following portion of th new State health law will be of interest to parents and teachers : The school committees oi public schools, superintendents of graded schools and the prin cipals of private schools shali not allow any pupil to attend the school under their contro' while any member of th household to which the pupi belongs is .-ick of either small pox, diphtheria, and mea-des. -carlet fever, typhus fever o •holera or during a period oi two weeks after the death, re covery of removal of such sick person, and any pupil coming from such household shall be required to present to the teach er of the school the pupil de -ires so attend a certificate from the attending physician, city heal tJi officer or county superin tendent of health of the fact necessary to entitle him to ad mission in accordance with the above regulations. A wilful failure on the part of any school committee to perform the duly required in this section shall b deemed a misdemeanor, ami upon conviction shall subject each and every member of the same to a fine of not less thai: one nor more than twenty-livi dollars: Provided, that the in structions in accordance with die provisions of this section given to the teachers of the schools within twenty-four hours after the reception of each and every notice shall be deem ed performance of duty on the !> irt ef the school committee Any teacher of a public -school and any principal of a private school failing to carry out the requirments of this action shall be deemed guilty of a misde meanor and upon conviction shall be fined not less than on* nor more than twenty-five dol lars. The Home Paper. The local paper should be found in every home says an exchange. No children should grow up ignorant who can be taught to appreciate the home paper. It is said to be the stepping stone of intelligence in all those matters not to be learned in books. Give your children a foreign paper which contains not a word about any person, place or thing, which they over saw or porhaps ever heard of, and how could you expect them to be interested. But let them have the home pa per and read of the people whom they meet and of places with which they arc familiar, and soon an interest is awak ened which increases w i th every arrival of the local paper, 'i litis a habit of reading is form ad and those children will read the papers all tin ir lives and become intelligent men and [women, a credit to their ances tors, strong in the knowledge of the world as it is today.

Washington, May 2. —Although tiu? matter never has flfcurel before the Suite Department, the Navy Depart ment has been closely watching the happenings near Margarita Island, oft the coast of Venezuela, which have given rise to the report that a German ecaling station is to be established there. The facts have been reported to the department by some or the I'nited States naval ofheers who command >1 vessels which have cruised in tli waters recently, l.ast year a German v.arsliii »••. a ten w --Us in looking int-> the pc.-; jiiai. s >f Margarita Island and this luce led to an examination on our own account, which developed th? pretence on thvs important strategic point of one of the finest harbors in South America, the possession of which would afford !h■ ■ I'nited States, ~r any other nation with a navy, practical control ef the Panama canal from tae easte: n side. Aside frmi this island, some of the best posted naval authorities hold that the gulf of Cariaco, cn the north coast of Venezuela, offers by far the most advantageous site for an American coaling station if one is t> be located in that part of the world. In view of the reported German surveys in that quarter, the naval authorities here are showing unusual interest in the points available for American use. The State D. pp.rtment never has been called upon specifically to construe the Mon roe doctrine so far as it might relate to the attempt by a European government to secure a coaling station in the Gulf of Mexico or the Caribbean sea.
