HW T. ; DuriMun-of Concord, la the Aft- f fnm, of Mr. . WbJtehead Klutta . OUter Address. Special by .Staff Correspondent. f -Matthews. Sept. J Rev. w Durham, of Concord, was the orator f the day at the dedication here this morning of the splendid new brick high school building which the public spirited citlsens of Matthew have Just erected St a cost of $8,000. Mr. -.Whitehead KJutts, Of Salisbury, was have delivered the dedicatory ad ; dress, "but he could not be present owing to urgent business affairs which kept him away. Superintendent It. J. Cochran voiced the sentiments of lha great throng when he expresa ' his regrets at Mr. KlutU's Inability "to, attend. His place, however, was amply filled by Rev. Mr. Durham. Mr. R. F. Beasley. of Monroe; Rev. W. K. Abernethy, of Weddlngton. and Mr. T. A. Adams, of Charlotte, all of whom made nplendld addresses. The new Matthew high school building is of brick, of modern arch itecture and up-to-datn construction. It is beautifully situated within the In corporate limits, and rests on a knoll about 200 vards from the main thor oughfare of the village. It is, thrre fnre, easy of aec- and at the same "lme beyond the noise and confusion of the town life. A delightful grove 1s located, in the rear of the build ing which will provide a delight! ul playground for the school children during recess hours. Th building Is two stories In height, the upstairs be ing used for an auditorium and muMc tall, while the ground floor is devoted to class rooms. The equipment of the building consists of the latest patent desks and all other mod'fn sccpsho rles such ss are found in the most vp-to-date buildins of the .North and ast. There Is nothing wanting any where. In point of location, in respect to building and equipment and. m"t Important of all. In the co-operative spirit and backing of the community rWlthout which the rest would be worthless The presence of the build ing and its handsome equipment is Itself the nest criterion of the attl- f the enmmunitV. The people of Matthews subscribed their share of It, cost with cheerfulness and alacrity I and for school purposes the building! stands to-day second to none in t.ie Ptate. This point was brought out by Mr.lDurham In his magnificent ad dress when he declared that the build ing would ever be a Judgment to call to account every community that has played fast and loose with its youth. He commended those who had a hand In Its erection and the s. com plish ment of all that It stood for. and con gratulated the town and county on "having In its midst, the iirsi, such a school building and the second, surh a publlc-splritttd community. A.N IDKAI, DAY. more ideal day could not have been asked for. Tin- sun shone iirlgnl and clear and the blue bowl if the sky was unflecked by the fleeciest i loU.ls. i Tooling breezes blew intermittently, nature thereby neglecting nothing that might add to the comfort of j those engaged In suc h kooI work as( he dedication of a school building to; the development and enlightenment of generations yet to come. There was a great crowd present, more than enough tn till trie large auditorium of the building anil enough to make ap prehensive the hearts of some of the careful housewives, particularly such hid charge of the picnic dinner that followed the rnorninc exercises. Thrlr fears, however, were ground less, for there was more than enough nd to spare TIIK KXHIK'ISKS RKCIN. The exercises of the morning com I mented a few minutes after II o'clo; k. While the crowd was assembling ami rinding seats, the Steele ( reek Rind played several pleHslng selections Shortly after the appointed hour prof Tl. J. Cor lira n. who was niHster of ceremonies, wrapped for order and In a few wejl-rhosen wonts welcomed all those present. In h.ippy manner lie presented the speaker of tlie da. Mr. Durham, nnl explained how It was that Mr KlulU, who had been announced to speak, c u 1 r I nut he present Mr. Iiurhum spoke extemporanenu ly and any attempt at a synopsis of his address would not do him Justlie His plea was for that education which not only makes the Individual think but achieve; an education which Is in truth "a drawing out;" an education which strlkey off the shackles of Ignorance and prejudice and leads a man Into the clear llxht Of reason where he may stand una fraid of hJs fellow and of his environ ment and win re he recognizes but on. power above him anrl tTiat the truth I That Mr. Durham made a powerful Impression Uxn his audience goes without saying, for he treated his sub ject from a standpoint not often touched upon by others mid made every application In such l.uiKua?e ;n could be readily grasped and com-' prehended by all His thenie, while' an old ene, he made new by reason his original manner of exposition. MR. Dl'ltll A M FFKAKR Education, Mr. Durham declared to be a process whereby the Individ ual la led to think He prefaced this definition by the rather startling as sertion that people seldom think. ' We say with pilde that we are intelligent beings, find, we ert. has raised lis to the pinnacle of Mis being that we are rhi crowning achievement of His creation. We tl over to ourselves that we are superior to all things that nothing In all the universe l to be compared to the mind of man. And yet, detftlte this herorr boast, the fact remains thst It 1 the rare thing that we think, that it Is the rare thing that the nation thinks. What is thought ? "The proer we call thought Is made p of three or four activities of mind. Klrst comes perception, which Is nothing more thin the mere im pression. This Is followed by concep tion, when several perceptions sre pat together and a concept, an idea, results. Thought, however, has not yet been achieved. When several concepts rr dujix loxrmrr inn a roneirfuion - Judgment, ia deduced therefrom i E. : .. . . . - is inougni accomplished. Why do we build school houses? Why da we expend thousands of our dollars and give weeks and months, and ven years of our life to the de velopment of onr public school sys tem? We desire to lead our children to. think, we desire to arouse that God-given faculty' which otherwise wnuld Me, dormant. ' worthless. "Every person has the same per ceptions. The difference between the man who achieves and the. man who does not Is the nse of this faculty which enables the one to spplr those jreepilona, those,, conceptions, .and vitalize them into life: The difference between'Lord Kelvin end me ? and you is that be thouaat. eir Isaac Kew- ton - didn't ' set anything mors than thousands of other men had seen, and yet. because he made nse of -what ha saw, he Sana to-oay me peer oi mor tals. (.-.'. ;;;; ' ' 'Tennyson thought.- Ton have cross ed many brook and so have I. Tou have passed by In the first blqsh of morn and again Jir the late arternoon when the rippling waters -were light ed' aureole of the golden sunset, but neither have you nor given to me world such matchless poems. ; WHAT 18 EDUCATION?.. "Education Is 'the bringing : of the child to think. If r this process con tinues we will not hare to go to Eng land to get a Tennyson or- to the North to get an Emerson.'There la no reason why such' an . one snould not come out of Matthews. 7.- ' The man of the hour Is the man who thinks, who reasons out for him self the-problems that confront him. That man who appeals only to the prejudices, and who does not strike at the mind is dangerous, for of that type are demagogues born. ;8uch are to be shunned. 'Time was when we received our religious instincts by birth and heri tage and so also our politics. I am glad to see a better and brighter day dawning. What Is to become of North Carolina If the political beliefs of ti-r people are dependent upon the accident of birth or the prejudices of our fore fathers? God speed the day when purj people will eay to one bringing a mes sage: 'Come and present it on the basis of reason and we will listen.' 'The tragedy of our civilisation Is i the lack of that power to think on the j part of our women, especially in . matters of public lire. I pray for that j dny to come when all shall reason I alike on the great problems or tne j day. "Kducatlon not only enables a man to think, but to ac'eve as well. That education which doesn't enable the boy or the girl, the man or the woman, to bring thjngs to pass and do things better and easier and quicker, is no education at all. The educated farmer is the farmer who knows how to direct the affairs of the farm with a masters grip and a masters mind. In former days the Catawba river was used well, to wa ter stock. And what has one educated man done? He has harnessed the stream and has made it do what a hundred thousand men could not ac complish otherwise. He thought first and acbleed second." Mr. Durham's conclusion was di rected to the eud or inspiring those w ho had started upon the educational work in the community to continue to the end.. "Times." he said, "have changed. Many of you lived when It was incumbent upon all to bear a musket f!od paralyze my tongue should I sav aught to reflect upon you. But your children live with their faces to a better, a brighter day. I pray that out of this town, from this school rooms, shall come, should the State call for one to direct great enter prises, to cleave the mountains or muke the waste places productive, one eual to every emergency, a credit to the town, the county and State, and a benediction to those of you who are living unto generations yet unborn." Mr. Durham was followed by Kdi tor K. K. Beasley, of Monroe, who spoke for a few minutes on general educational topics, his central theme belnu the call of the country for edu cated men. Mr. Beasley was listened to with marked attention. KI.Ad AND HIBDK IMtKHKNTED. The nresentalion of the (lag and tue Bible to the school by Midway Coun cil. Junior Order United American Mechanics, came Immediately after the dinner hour. The presentation on he half of the council was made by the eloquent Itev. W. K. Abernethy. of Weddlngton. Mr. Durham, In a few words; ac cepted the Mag on behalf of the school and Mr. T. A. Adams, the Bible. The exercises were then brought to a close with music by the band and the benediction.

The wall of the all is old and the bricks were removed with little trouble. Closer examination disclosed that bricks had also been removed from around the- window sill. The prisoners 'had Intended taking out brick until they had . removed enough to admit them through the opening, and then escspe by making a rope of their blankets.
