LIBRARIES OF NORTH CAROLINA
The first library of North Carolina
was sent over from England
Sept. 1723. over two liuudn d years
ago. This was a gift to the colony
and it was placed at Hath, tie old
est city of the state.
Altho we have made great progress,
today we rank only thirtyseventh
among all the states in
College literature and this includes
libraries in universities. Colleges,
professional, state, private and denominational
schools. It means that
in North "Carolina there are nearly
nine people for each volume in such
libraries.
Our state ranks forty - ight in
public libraries, with nearly twelve
inhabitants for every volume iti such
libraries. The average for the United.
States is less than three inhabitants
for each volume.
North Carolina ranks forty-six
among the states in th?. reading' of
daily newspapers, with nearly ten
people for every paper. Th,. state
ranks forty-six as a reader of literary
magazines, with nearly nine persons
for every magazine.
At the opening of the Tryon school
in the fall of 1022 we had only one
book case containing between three
and four hundred books. We now
have six book cases in the literary
room, besides ope in each of the
elementary ' and primary grade
rooms, containing altogether 10ftr>
volumes with an average riculation
of forty books each week.

accident toll are apparent In the grow- t
lug Interest In first aid Instruction as I
offered by experts of the America? c
Red Cross.
Approximately 20,000 Juniors and 1
seniors completed the first Aid "course 8
during the fiscal year, passed rigid 8
examinations and rece'ved Red Cross J
First Aid certificates. This repre- *
sents an Increase of 2.500 orer the '
preceding year, and this gain is attributed
to the emphasis on health ^
education by various public bodies In- '
eluding not alone the American Red
Cross and Government agencies, but
life and accident insurance companies,
and athletic and recreational groups.
In Dallas, Texas, playground supervisors
are required to hold First Aid
certificates. In many high schools
the subject is Included In the regular
curriculum. In order to assist In
training instructors for this phase of
the work, special courses nave been
conducted In the summer schools of
such leading Institutions as the University
of Maryland and the University
of Virginia. Instruction was continued
during the year at Loyola University.
New Orleans: University of
California, San Francisco; University
of Kentucky; Temple University,
Philadelphia; Peabody Teachers' College
aitd similar educational centers, i
Work with the public utilities group
has shown an exceptional Increase
during the year. Classes conducted
by fourteen of the associated Bell
Telephone companies were continued
with increased interest and a number
of the companies sponsored intensive
courses in First Aid f ir instructors.
The First Aid Instruction Car of the
Red Cross was busy throughout the
year. In the 125 cities visited by the
car 900 meetings were held with an
aggregate attendance of 94,000 persone.
Membership of the peoplo In the
American Red Cross makes such
services possible, the annual opportunity
of pledging support through mem
bership lining offered in the Roll Call
from November 11 to 25 thia year.
Educators Give Junior
Red Cross High Praise
Grow-in* recognition by leading educators
all orer the world has been an
achievement of the Junior Red Croua
In the last fiscal year.
Included in those which have taken
specially favorable cognltanoe of
Junior Re 1 Cross efforts are the
World Federation of Education Associations
at Edinburgh, Scotland, in
1925, the Department of Superintendence
of the National Education An
sociatlon, at Washington, 1816, and
the National Education Association
in Philadelphia, June, 1926. Various
State educational bodies have confirmed
this approval, the report adds.
As a phase of their work, the Juniors
