One does not have to go far from liome to find that our public schools, es pecially those In tho rural districts, are falling to educate as they should the boys and girls of tho Common wealth, It Is. true that the publie schools have longer terms now than over before, but with . an average school term of only four months In the year the boy or girl 'desiring- an education- Is miserably hampered. The State Is doing all In its power, no doubt, to setter our publlo school system, nowever. lt Is probably not going too far to say that so far only the surfaoe iias been touched by our educational campaigns and that much patient and, perhaps, laborious toll most yet be gone through with before we can lay claim to being a great State, educationally. Along with tho growth of publlo schools must coma the growth and strengthening of sec ondary schools. Just now the latter are especially In demand, both ss place for the ' Preparation of those 4 desiring to enter college and for students desiring a . sufficient train lag to enable them - to teach school, Upon tho secondary school occupy ing, as they do. a middle ground. must rest tho problem of bringing the boys and girls la the rural dis tricts out of semi-darkness and giv ing them the inspiration, for higher attainments .- In the great seats of learning, and -a; preparation which will enable them to cope with tho practical problems of a work-a-day world. Just m. proportion now to tho effort put' forth in the matter of sec ondary ' education will inspiration come for bettering oar publlo schools ana ins oiooa ox our future cituen- ship be enriched.

The entire occasion was one of the most plessant yet given and combined certain amount of instruction to gether with the social features of the gathering. Much favorable comment Is being made upon the fairs thus far held In the State. The side shows of many of the fairs had become eo low and vile that It become a matter of State reproach, and K is a matter of gen era I congratulation that this year seems to have marked the turn of the tide for better things. The degrad ing side show attachment for our fairs seems to have had Its begin nlng with ths so-called hooche-choo die shows and dances which were first seen In this country at the Chi cago Exposition of 18(S and from there have epread like a pestilence over the land. Infesting alike fairs. seaside resorts and cities. It Is to be hoped that North Carolina will never again tolerate such vlleness In con nection with her fairs. The eenlor class this year num bers thirty members twenty-five young men end five young wqmen.'

John Sharp Williams speak In hlgheet terms of his magnificent ad dres In Greenboro. It is ranked as one of the truly great speeches ever made In this part of the State.
