The address of Dr, Kilgo at the
educational picnic last Thursday
was recognized by all as one of the
ablest and most timely ever de

only able and eloquent, but it was
the utterance of a patriot and a
statesman. There was no taffy
and no demagoguery about it, and
we wish it could be beard in every
conuty in North Carolina. Pity
it is that there are too few ad

Children who are not taught to

not submit to discipline in later

It has become quite common to
see mention in the papers of an ar
