Feb. 13.——An ar ticle by Governor Angus \Y. McLean, of North Carolina, on “Good Rends and Public Education on the Basis of Economic Progress in North Caro lina” will appear tomorrow morning in (tie Atlanta Constitution, j The artie'e follows : “North Carolina has justly been advertised throughout the country as ,|one of the states whose recent prog ress in wealth, industry, eduention '•and social advancement has been reln j tively so great as not only to prove | attractive to investors from abroad | but to present a subject of study for I other commonwealths. I “There has been so evidently in evi dence a new spirit c.f energy and ini tiative. t'jere has been such a willing -1 ness manifested to build and plan for the future, there has been mb a virile confidence in popular ability to achieve prosperity and support new i demands of a greatly elevated an ex panded scheme of living, that the search for the causes of the change has has a particular fascination. "Abroad, the first and most potent explanations of this new era has been the activity in road building. A- the tides of motor travel have increased, the fame of North Carolina highways has spread throughout the land. Bus iness men. commercial travelers, tour ists have for several years 'had our state under inspection under the most favorable circumstances. They have witnessed a well-planned system of inter-communication between the peo ple of a state that from the seaVdiore on the cast to the mountains of ex treme western North Carolina covers over 600 miles. They have seen ev erywhere thriving small cities, med ernly equipped towns, a population which carries with it an unmistak able assurance of success and inde pendence. They have seen along these highways mile after mile of con centrated industries whose power comes from electricity generated by North Carolina streams. They have seen great resort areas on the coast, in the piedmont and in the mountains, to which these roads are tributary. Seeing whnt has been done, the visi tor to North Carolina is apt to say. ‘See what good roads can do !’ “Good roads are in fact an achieve ment of which the state is proud. Our highway system now includes 4.- 44S miles of completed road. On w J iieh there has been expended in four years a total of $82,200,053. During the year 1025 there was new road con-, struction of 1.544 miles at a cost, with bridges, of $27,327,006. There is at present under construction an addi tional mileage of 810, to cost $14.- 639.532. and this will be greatly in creased during the year 1925 by the expenditure of from ten to twelve million dollars loaned by various coun ties to the highway commission. “Whatever the influence of good roads in ease of communication, inter* (Gauge of products, inter-relatiohs of business, and a welding together of ideas in terms of the state as a whfide, it follows, of course, that such a pro gram could not have been conceived or realized without a previous nCCu mulation of wealth and power inci dent to the employment of natural re sources and the activities of business, industry and commerce. ] “Back of the highway system so es sential to the unity of an active state, | r.ierefore, we must look to the ad-j vancement in material prosperity on which it rests. A few figures will show what that progress has been in the last quarter of a century in prep aration : “In 1900 the true valuation of prop erty in the state was $682.000.000; by 1924 it had increased to $4,500,- 000.000. “In 1900 the value oV manufactures was $85,000; in 1925 they exceeded $750,000,000. “In 1900 bank resources were $15,- 362.182; in 1925 they were in ex cess of $500,000,000. “In 1900 the value of farm crops was $89,000,000; in 1925 it was $318,001,000. “These are high points of the values created by thrift, energy and business and industrial imagination, and it is! these values which have made possible the great asset of good roads us a means to stimulated prosperity. To them should be added-asia vital con tributing factor the investment of more than $100,000,000 in developing for the use of industry 600,000 of pri mary horsepower for hydro-electric en ergy. which, with steam auxiliary, de liver annually more than a billion and a half kilowatt hours of electric pow er. These figures illustrate a mnrvel ’ ous and inspiring record of achieve ment. beginning about 1900 and never halted except momentarily, and then only to be renewed more vigorously. It is even more inspiring to follow this era to Its beginning and find it bottomed on a crusade of a few men whose idealism took small account of I the practical results which have' flowed from it. "Tills crusade was one for impular education. Its active evangels were Charles Brantley Aycock. governor of North Carolina 1900 to 1905; Ed win A. Alderman, now president of the University of Virginia, and ('has. D. Melver, founder and president 'of the state's first venture in the educa tion of women. Elected governor in 1900, Aycock declared as his central, policy the equality of educational op-* portunity for all children of the state, regardless of color, age or sex. It was revolutionary polities, calling for j the maxima mos zeal and courage. . Yet in twenty-five years, the figures bf school expenditures, the increase in sc'aool attendance, the multiplied* j tion, of school houseu, have been ho many indices pointing to greater wealth, larger production, more fac tories, better homes. _ r “In 1900, when Aycock was e!ect«i governor, total public school expen . ditures were $1,062,303. They fiavr , increased under the policy , I tered to over $30,000,000 in 1925. If I the whole period is considered, it , I means that t'ue state has steadily’ in .l creased Us expenditures for schools - approximately a million and a halt -a ■ yea< Th<* facts are that {he bulk . | of this money spent on education has i i been expended since 1910. amounting l . to the great total for these six years of approximately $53,000,000. : “In addition to this expenditure on public the State of North Carolina *uas spent millions in per- ] i manont improvements on the Cniver- ' » sity. State College of agriculture and - engineering, the North Carolina Col- j 1 lege for Women. Teacher**’ Training ; . College, the college for agricultural ‘ and vocational training for negroes. ; I etc. Its expenditures for these in-: ■ stitujions of higher and special edu-; tatioii were last year $2,015,500. j “In 1900 the total school enroll- 1 - ment in the State was 400,452; in J . 1925 it was 509.R34. “In 1900 there were thirty ’liigh i sehools. enrolling 2.00 students. In * 1924. 738 high schools had an en rollment of 63,375 and 6,900 *grad-' . nates. » The more closely one looks at th^ 1 . figures which mark this state’s prog-j ress in the material values vvhitfi [ make possible the social advances in , cident to a higher standard of living' . and a more diffused prosperity, the! more strikingly is borne in upon the ; mind the synchronism between the . tides of education and wealth, of pop . ulnr enlightenment and of practically . universal employment for returns suf ficient to provide a hopeful liveli » hood. • “This has been no matter of chance. . During the calendar year 1925, we , paid to the federal government taxes . on income and industry which to ; tailed over one hundred and eighty million dollars taxes, greater than any . other state with four exceptions. t “There is no estimating the amount . in values to support taxes with which . our roads should be credited. , “Still lesaiiis in my stomach were al most unbearable. So on account of my restricted diet I was losing in weight and strength and was not equal to my task as boiler maker, but since 1 have taken HERB JUICE for several weeks' time I can hit a hard blow now. I feel more likg doing a ' real day's work than I have in years. It is the most effective and most pleasant of any medicine I have ever found. Now for the first time in months I can eat and enjoy three good meals a' day amt I get so much more nourishment from my food now that I have increased in weight until I feel like a new man. Today m.v stomach is in excellent working con dition. I have also found HERB JUICE to be a wonderful laxative and through its mild yet, very effective ac tion I have been entirely relieved of constipation, liver and bowels ’are functioning splendidly and 1 am in better health generally than I have been in a long time. I feel sure that any medicine that would make ,the great improvement In me that HERB JUICE has. will help others in the same way. so I have no hesitancy whatsoever in recommending it to everyone as a most effective laxatime and system regulator.” For Bale by Gibson Drug Store.
