"uo he set the mv TEACHERS' ASSEMBLY Addresses From Presidents of Two of North Carolina's ; Leading Institutions. : VENABLE AND M'lVER. The Press and the Pulpit and Other Topics Discussed, by Various Speakers ON fleers Elected for Comloc Year. Resotntioos Adopted. W rights ville Beaoh, June 14. The teacheis hare been experiencing gray skies and abundant showers to day. This, however, baa been an aspect, of the seashore which they have seemed to enjoy, although a con tinuation of it would produce a differ ; ent effect. The broad verandas of the hotel afforded a delightful promenade; conducive to the social intercourse and exchange of ideas which the teachers regard as one of the most valued fea tures of the' Assembly. ; "" - To-day's programme was of especial interest, having to do with the . re lation of the press and pulpit to pub lic education and other topics relating to the educational life of the State. In fact; the proceedings were felt by many to be the most instructive of the session. Tne papers were .wen pre pared, and the interest aroused seemed to be of a more substantial order. The meeting opened with the usual exercises after which Prof. - W. H. Ragsdale, county superintendent of Pitt, offered his paper on "The County Superintendent in the Present School Law," which was brought over from yesterday, v It was an address of high order and very instructive. The Assembly then passed commen datory resolutions regarding Prof. O. H. Mebane, its distinguished and able secretary and treasurer, who has just declined re-election, Prof. Mebane, by the way, is a great factor in educa tional matters in our State. He -made au excellent Superintendent of Public Instruction of the State, and is alto gether popular and earnest in his edu cational interest. The election of officers for the com ing year was tnen entered upon witn the following result: President Dr. Hid win Mims, of Trinity College. First Vice President Dr. F. P. Ven able, President of the University of North Carolina. Secretary and Treasurer Prof. W. D. Carmichael, Superintendent Dur ham Graded Schools. - Other vice presidents were chosen. among whom we are pleased to .name Prof. Washington Catlett, of Wil mington. According to the regular programme of the day, Dr. E. W. 8ykes, of Wake Forest College,addressed the Assembly on the subject, The College Professor and Public i&ducauon." tie said tnac manv of the sreat movements in re gard to enlightenment and progress had J their beginning in college lire, in which seeds are sowii for future de velopment; that the college professor, in order to fulfil his obligation must believe in the universality of educa tion, that he may train young men in that which makes a State strong and enlightened. The college aims to make the man, a man for the new civiliza tion that is coming among us. Prof. L. R. Wilson, of Catawba Col lege, spoke upon the same subject. He urged' that more attention should be given by college professors to public school education; that iney snouia keep in touch with the schools, and from their higher plane often give words of inspiration and encourage ment to higher attainments. The col lege nrofeesor should always have an active interest in everything that con cerns the public schools. Mr. J. w. tfaiiey, or tne nwucai Recorder, then spoke with reference. to the press and puoiic education, ne said he joyed in the new breath of freedom that is spreading inrougn North Carolina, but we are yet some times bound with prejudicial shackles. kland, which it is said.will be ?Ae2???.;K Jff Jffi?. iSTS the Btate. . Tney are deterring ine peo- tila from error and narmiui una- ences. The contest lor iree scnoois is a contest for free souls.- Jesus died to make men free, and the State lives for the same object. We must keep that idea constantly before us, and use our best endeavors to bring to. pass the blessings of freedom. The press is no longer the source of power mat it formerly was on account of the great number of papers, but it is still the creat means of disseminating mior- mation. - it can uree tne poo pie u think of betterschools Und higher educational resoonsibilities. " There are a great many people in our State who have not informed themselves as to the status of the free schools, lie urged the great importance of ln nrpmspd interest in education in view of the state of affairs in 1908, doing all that can be done for the boys of our State by improving and perfect inc oinr aunervisinsr system. Dr.T. N. Ivev. of tne Christian Ad- twcafe,-Baleigh, followed with an ad-. dress upon rne iruipit' ana raouc TMnfttion " : He said that tne worn 'education" should be regarded as somewhat synonymous with the word "righteousness." ine ngnteous man ha a inn! moved and inspired by God- given thoughts and residing in a noble body. The relation between a preacher and a teacher is close and vital r and righteousness is the blossoming oi prinrtntion into forms of beauty and usefulness. The pulpit has sought to perform its obligation in tne runner ance of education,' although its efforts have been largely . directed to uenomi national schools. , It will now have a broader interest, and the sympathies or the tate should be likewise extended to all cfasses of schools alike," helping the weaker as well as aiding the poorer. so that all may have an equal chance. If this whole matter oi eaacauoa were controlled bv an.improved public sen timent, the standing of -ear State: in educational matters wouia oe greatiy elevated "Graded Schools; their Growth and Influence on Our Educational Lite, was discussed bv Prof. E. P. Mangum, snnerintendent of schools. Wilson, and Prof. Charles L. Coon, superintendent of Raliaburv schools. i Prof. Mangum spoke of the: graded school-from its beginning through iU fight with its enemies who gradually became fewer.: until now- one can hardly find an intelligent man who does not favor the graded system of schools. . He prophesied that the time was almost here when people would solicit the rleht to have local taxation for school nrdfiress. - - Prof. Coon's idea was to have - the graded schools use as the high school of the county in which thev are situ ated and to have this high school open for twelve months in the year, to be come in the summer a place for gather: ing in those children who cannot come in the winter for lack, of cloth- ing, and also as an institute for coun try teachers. He suggested that as teachers are volunteering to go up into the mountains and teach dur ing the summer months, surely there would be some willing to do the same thing at home. By. these means we would do much toward solvinsr the educational problem. .THK WVESISQ' SESSION. . Upon assembling for the evening exercises, a resolution was adopted ex- u A. A m . m A. m m pressing tne tnanas oi; the Assemniy to the people of Wilmington for their many acts of kindness and hospitality, to the newsoaners of the citv for . liv ing liberal space to the accounts of the proceedings and to the management of the Seashore Hotel for their courteous treatment President Holt announced a mes-. sage from Mr. Josephus Daniel, editor of the Raleigh 2Vetca and Observer, a warm? advocate of "any educational cauae. extending his congratulations upon tne good work accomplished by tne Assembly during the present ses sion, ; . f- The Assembly then had the plea sure of hearing addresses 'from the Presidents of two of North Carolina's eading institutions of learning, 'Pre sident . Venable of the University," and President Mclver of the State Nor-, mal and Industrial School: Each' was the finished product of an able and distinguished educator. Dr. Venable svoke of the mission of the teacher, wnose noble self-sacrificing work in training human minds and in leading children upward to the light is beyond a value which can .be calculated. Noble teachers live again n noble lives after them, and their reward is in the satisfaction of seeing the results of their earnest efforts, and n the knowledge that they did what they could for the minds committed to their care. His address was beautiful and eloquent throughout " Dr. Mclver then addressed the As sembly on the "Cost of Education." t costs about f 5.000. according to his careful calculation, to educate a boy from his infancy through college. It costs, also, the strength, vital force and nervous energy of the teacher. who sacrifices himself to the training of the minds of his pupils. Likewise, it costs a great self-denial on the part of the pupil himself, (when his instincts all urge him to the freedom of fresh air and bodily exercise. Yet the cost is fully justified by the finished pro duct, by the State, which is composed of the individuals. Dr. Mclver is an nspiring speaker, full of the force and enthusiasm which has enabled him to meet with the magnificent suc cess which his school . enjoys. He is a power m the Btate and his influence is marked and widespread. The Protranune For Saturday.

The Red Birds played ball like fiends. practically as a whole and it was by reason of this that Stanley was ena bled to win his game. The visiting twirler was easily outclassed by Vor hees, who struck out ten men, allowed only one man a free pass and only six hits. Then, too, he got a nice sacri fice and did well otherwise with the stick. It was an exciting game throughout and only in two innings did either team score; Raleigh only in one the third. The runs made in that inning were not entirely due to Crockett's and Stafford's errors, though justice demands that "Davy" have credit for starting the ball to rolling. In that inning the visitors gat three of the six hits during tbe entirf game and sent three men across the rubber. ' It wain this way. Venable singled but was forced by Stanley at second. Atz then came up for a single and Stanley scored on "Davy's" fumble of Kelly's hit. Hennager fanned and with two men down, Sorber drove to left for two bags, sending Atz and Kolly. across the plate. " Priorto"this time, with the excep tion of a free pass to Sorber in the second, both teams went out in their order. With three runs the lead for Raleigh, the Giants came up in their half of the third and after Thackara had- gone out to second, McGinnis singled and scored on Vorhees' sacri fice and Clayton's two base hit to right Crockett flew out to left Bynum, Raleigh's new man, was given a trial in right during the game but was too slow in the third and was displaced by Stocksdale. lie was also found easy fruit with the stick. An unaided single by Stocksdale in the fourth and a free pass to Devlin was all that kept both teams from going out in their order, as was the story of the fifth, which followed. The sixth was featured by a single by Sherman and a double of Stafford's drive to Hennager after "Davy" had drawn four balls. Both sides again went down in their order in the seventh with the excep tion of a rank error by Kelly In allow ing Warren' drive to pass through his legs. TB) error, however, cost nothing. In the eighth the Red Birds went out in their order and McGinnis came un for the Giants and flew out to centre; Vorhees drew four balls and Clayton, fanned with vorhees on second. Stafford came up and popped out tothfrd. -- The ninth came on and the Wil- mington rooter was on his ear for a score. Sherman fanned and LeGrande singled, but was forced a second by Stocksdale; Venable was. hit: by a pitched ball and Stanley went out to first The Giants came up for their last time and two runs would have tied the score and three would have won the game but they got only one on a bunch of three hits. Sebring flew out to right and three consecutive singles were made by Devlin, Warren and Thackara but slow base running did not bring a score, it remained for McGinnis to bit to second and score Devlin while "Mack" went out on his hit to first; Vorhees- flew out to right. --.: . .:'-:':,.;, - The features of the . game were a beautiful stop of Kelly's line by Clay ton, Atz's stop of Thackara's hit and star catches by Sebring in left SCORE BY INNINGS.. . 123456789 RHE Raleigh........0 0 30 0 0 00 0-8 6 1 Wilmington ....001000 0 012 6 2 Batterie Stanley and -LeGrande; Vorhees and Thaokara. r V THE TABULATED SCORE.- Raleigh. ab r h ro a e Atz,8b.. 4 1 1 2-30 Kelly.lb 4 1 0 12 0 1 Hennegar, 2b ... 4 0 0 3 5 0 Sorber, If 3 0 1 2 0 0 Sherman, cf ..4 0 1 1 0 0 LeGrande, c.T.... 4 0 1 5 0. 0 Bynum, rf 1 0 0 0 0 0 Venable, ss .2 0 10 10 Stanley, p .'..4 1 0 0 10 Stocksdale. rf.. 3 0 1 2 0 0 Total.. . .'. ..83 3 6 27 10 1 : Wilmington.

He Says Tbat the Adoption of tbe Ordinance is a Reflection Upon His Company and Quotes If In FaU-rScajes ' Were Ordered Prevlonsly.: . " .Editor The SSjrntng Star In or der that Ihe community may under stand ojnjr position, we respectfully re quest the publication of this letter. During iny absence,'7 and without any notice - to us the Board of Aldermen passed the following ordinance: ' . iSectibn: lThat Uny -personv firm 4RM-tMaetQ!;sgd Iff the sale and delivery of ice, shall, provide suitable scales for each delivery wagon and shall immediately priur to the delivery of the ice weigh, the same, and should any purchaser desire to inspect the scales and weigh the ice purchased, he shall have the right to do so. "Section 2. Any person, firm" or corporation violating this ordinance shall be fined $10." : Being the only firm engaged in the ice business, wo naturally took the passing of this ordinance as an attack on our integrity, as we had at that time received but three complaints. In order to facilitate the deliverv of smaller pieces of ice, which are usually wanted early in the morning, it has been our custom for years, to eut them at our platform, making an allowance of 20 per cent for the meltage during the time of delivery, which we had found by actual tests during the hot test weather to be ample to insure to the purchaser the quantity of ice paid for. It has been our aim and desire to conduct this business in a satisfactory way to tne community, and with that end in view, immediately following the first complaint, early in May, we ordered scales for each cart and wagon iniorder that any . dissatisfied purchasers could have the privilege of either weighing or seeing the ice - weighed. Scales for this purpose are only made to order. We are in this business for the pur pose of making money and -have ice for sale, and any one, white or black, who has the money to pay for it can buy it We have never refused to sell ice to any one: we have refused to de liver it - Very respectfully.
