Raleigh. X. 0., June 9 (By the As sociated Press).—'"lt would be nothing short of a tragedy were it to become necessary for the New England capital ists to have to bring to the sontlt New England's skil’ed labor to fill the more ‘highly specialized positions within om borders" with the now steady develop ment of manufacturing industries. T. Browne, state director of vocational education, declared tonight in urging that inr leased emphasis be placed upon technical education in North Carolina. “Four gonerationtr we North t'nro limans have been the fact that we live in a rural state and have boast ed upon onr remarkable development along agricultural lines.” said Mr Browne. “We have made progress in this field which justifies our pride, and yet if the signs of the times indicate anything it is that our greatest develop ment during the next decade will be in the industrial field. with special emphasis upon sard ton rftinrftifoofurmg. "Even at the present time. North Carolina has more cotton mills than any wtatc in the Union and leads the soutli in the cotton textile industry. Our last report credits North Carolina with 5.095.102 spindles and 74.142 looms, consuming one and one-quarter millions of bales ;if cotton annually. There are within the borders of the Old North State several of the world’s lar gest industries. Located at Greensboro and Durham are the 'argest denim mills in the United Stataes: the largest damask mills in the United States are at Roanoke Rapids; the largest hosiery mills in the world are in Durham, and the largest towel mills in the United States are at Kannapolis. “Statistics relative to the enlarge ment of the cotton textile industry indi cate that there, will be added within the next twelve months more spindles in North Carolina than all the South com bined. "The press is constantly bringing to onr attention the fact tlu4) New Eng land cotton manufacturers are recogniz ing the advantages our state offers in the cotton industry, and arc rapidly seeking to invest their capital aud move their industries to the south. These facts arc presented to indicate how inqinrtant it is for those of us concerned with the education in North Carolina youth to realize both the responsibility and op* pbsfuliify' Feat In if upon* ft# ‘profteF directing of our educational program." In too many of the schools located in the textile centers of North Carolina said Mr. Browne, the teachers have been emphasizing the importance of boys securing an education to enter the professions rather than industrial enter prises. \ "These boys have been taught to look upon an education j\x a means of getting ont of the industrial environment." the director said. “A more false conception of the situation could not be thought of. For the bright, ambitions boy in a cot ton mill-, community, fit ly acqnaihted with the fundamental conditions of industrial life there is no greater op portunity for him to direct his education to the preparation for, leadership in the state’s great industrial development. “The teachers in these communities should begin early to acquaint the chil dren with the bigness of the textile in dustry. the opportunities for promotion for the highly skilled worker and the ever increasing demand for men of ability and vision to direct the activities in the state’s large industrial plants. "There is no state with purer Anglo- Saxon popu'ntion. with hoys and girls with greater native ability than North Carolina. These enlarged industries are necessarily going to demand workers of increased skill. It is the duty Os the school to use its influence to train both the young and the ndults of our state who will be called upon to man these industries to become well trained lead eri^ "It would be nothing short of a tragedy were it to become necessary for the New England capitalists to have to bring to the south the New England’s skilled labor to fill the more highly specialized position within our borders. “There is every reason for increased emphnsisis upon technical education of college grade and vocational training of secondary grade that our own folk may be prepared to step into the im portant places to be filled in this rapid development of North Carolina. “Until recent years, the American manufacturer had given little thought to the training of his employees, in the early days the men and women who came to America were from the coun tries of western Europe a nth were fair ly well educated. Because of the fact that the countries from which they came had well organized schools where industrial education was generally ac cepted ns an essential part of the school system and industry was well established —a large 'percent of the men were skilled artisans. Prior .to 1890. only one half of one per cent of the people who came trf Amoriyn were illiterate. These men were better train ed than the people of our own country and they furnished a large imrt of the skilled labor for industry in tlip east. “The old apprenticeship method was used almost exclusively, not only in in dustry but In the professions. The young men who wanted to study medi cine drove for the doctor, read the doctor’s medical books while he was at tending • patient, and studied in bis office. This method is largely relegated to the scrap! heap now. In all the learn ed professions rigid examinations are re quired.

Mr. Foil told the Ki wanians that the Commissioner had made the proposition that if Cabarrus County would pay half tlie cost of hard sur facing the highway from Concord to the Stanly’ County line on tlie Coucord-Al beninrle highway, tlie Highway Commis sion would assume the other half of the cost. He made a motion that the Ki-, wauis Club appoint a committee to go to Albemarle and take up with (he Lioiis Club of that place the matter of having tlie entire Coneord-Albemarle highway made a hard surface highway.

Dr. King made a motion that a committee be appointed to bring this matter be fore tile attention of the Road Commis sion of this county, ami see whether something could not be done about it. President Spencer referred this matter to the same committee named for tlie Con eord-Albemarle highway. Clarence Barrier made a motion that a committee be appointed to appear 'be fore the city aldermen, aud see if an incinerator cannot be procured for the needs of tlie city. He showed tlie great need of something of this kind, for the ilisgmsal of the city's garbage and trash, and upon the passage of iiis motion.

Albert Palmer reported that his com mittee had gone before the aldermen and presented the matter of marking the streets and numbering the houses in Concord, and that tlie aldermen had nam ed a committee to look into tile cost of street signs and make a report to the aldermen. The program for tlie meeting was in charge of team No. 9, Dr. Morrison King, captain. Dr. King called on Jim Cook to act as temporary chairman, and the latter, in his graceful manner, introduc ed Miss Vernie Goodman and five of the Jackson Training School boys, who had arranged ail entertaining program for tlie occasion. Miss Goodniuu, who is the idol of the boys at tlie institution, hud arranged a program that was heartily enjoyed by everyone. Her own remarks-and witty sayings kept tile club at a high pitch' of enjoyment all tlie way through. The en tertainment consisted of several solos, a declamation and cornet solo, ail of which were rendered in splendid manner by the different boys, their accompani ments boing rendered by Miss Goodman at the piano. Possibly not since the or ganization of the club has a program been enjoyed more thoroughly than the one givrti by Miss Goodman and the Jackson Training School boys.
