The prc- auct is made .from yellow pine shav ings and has a ready sale on the north ern markets. He thinks Wilmington is one of the best places on the entire Atlantic Coast to start a mill of this kind. Wilmington has about seven large saw mills on the river front and each of themVsays Mr. Arringdale, has more or less trouble In eettinsr rid of its waste which is now burned at an ex pense,- whereas. It a paper mill was started they would get quite a large profit from manufacturing this refuse Into paper. . Mr. Arrlnedale savs ha would be very glad to have the Vari ous mill men take the matter up with him as he would like to discuss it fully with them. It would, require about $300,000 to build and equip a plant of the kind and have a working capital. Buch an enterprise would prove a great advantage to the city, not only in the number of men it would em ploy, but in utilizing a refuse which has been wasted for 30 years. LOCAL DOTS.

While In the city be wss In consultation with Dr. Aker man and other physicians and Inci dentally made a thorough investiga tion of the hospital. Before leaving Dr. Hunner kindly consented to give the press an Interview as to' his obser vations as to the splendid institution in charge of Dr. .Akerman and was en thusiastic in speaking of the place and its' management In response to questions Dr. Hunner said: "What do I think of your hospital? I consider it the finest and best ar ranged small hospital I have seen. I am sure your citizens do not begin to appreciate the beneficence of the late Mr. Walker's gift, but it will be a mat ter of only a short time when they will awaken to their good fortune. In the large cities we have the public so educated that the hospital is now con sidered the only logical places in which to be I1L No matter how elegant-the homes, people realize that the equipment of a hospital cannot be imitated, nor can its military-like de votion to duty ba transferred, and therefore they prefer to go at once to the institution where It is the business of everyone to work for the one end making the patient comfortable, happy and well. This sentiment will gradual ly take hold of your Wilmington peo ple, as they see the good - work being done at the hospital. "The day la rapidly passing when sick people, will take long railroad journeys to the large cities. Excellent workisgoingtobe done In the home .hospitals and if an -occasional patient is particularly desirous of -the noted specialist.he will ba sent for to operate In the local hospital. - "One of the greatest benefits of your hospital will be its influence on the lo cal profession. It is one of the anoma lies of our great profession that while Its ranks are graced by the most cos mopolitan and most cultured men of the community, men who consider no sacrifice too great when their fellow man is in need of help, yet In their dealings with each other these same men often exhibit anytning out a broad-minded spirit of liberality and Belfcsacrlfiocr -H there be any of this petty spirit In the Wilmington profes ion vour hospital will do much to abolish it, for it will bring the mem bersuof the nrof essdon together in con sultation over Important cases and this will result In a better : understanding between the physicians, and at the same time give the patient, the benefit of better diagnosis and treatment. . "I am triad to see such a well organ ized training school for nurses, and the highest standard should be maintained so that your graduates may rank with those of the lareer hospitals. "Yes.

Mssterf ol Preseatstlsaof Onr Ednca. tlossl Needs-IflteKstlsg Topics 01s csuedst Moralsg -Hosr The 7 Attesdssce Is Incresalsf aaaaaaaaaat The first whole day's session of the North. Carolina Teachers'; Assembly concluded last night with a fine ad dress by Dr. F. P. Venable, president of the Assembly, and although he was the only speaker of the evening, Dr. O. Alphonso Smith, of Chanel Hill. having been - unavoidably detained elsewhere, the time was most profit ably taken up and upwards of three hundred people listened to the speaker with undivided interest The entire morning was spent In following the programme of routine business, and the afternoon was given over to more pleasant diversions, the visitors appearing to enjoy - every minute oL-their time. The weather continues perfect for a sojourn on the beach, and last night the ocean was more beautiful than a picture as It re flected the full visage of a resplendent moon. Everything Is propitious for pleasant outing and tbe pleasures seem to multiply. Of course from a general point of view the address of Dr. Venable last night was a most Interesting event and many Wilmlngtonians availed themselves of the opportunity to hear the distinguished president of the State University. Vice President J. B. Carlyle. of Wake Forest College.. a traduced Dr. Venable in his pleasant manner,- and gracefully said the duty assign edio him was exceedingly pleasant. - He had the high honor to present tbe speaker of the evening, the ideal university president, under whose administration our University has risen to the highest rank among the -educational Institutions of the land. He was a profound thinker, an eminent scholar, a chemist of more than national fame, who only last week had conferred upon him the de gree of L.L. D. by the University of Pennsylvania, and most of all a Chris tian gentleman. V -. - Dr. Venable thanked Prof. Carlyle for his kind words, saying but few of them he deserved He took for the subject of hisTaddres. "The Task of the Teacher," and began by saying every.true North Carolinian is deeply interested in the growth ot his State and la hopefully looking forward to its future. But something more than the interest- of a mere looker-on is necessary. There is work for all to do, DR. FRANCIS P. VENABLE, a President of The Unlversdtly of North Carolina and Presiding Officer of he Assembly. 7 earnest work, unselfish work, that our State may become great; and stand at the very front in all worthy competi tion with her sisters." OLall those who must work , to these great ends the heaviest burden must fall upon th teachers and educatonu A people freed from ignorance and lifted Into a higher, finer life, with talents uncov ered and usefulness Increased, a State grown strong with its fruitful fields, prosperous towns and Intelligent eitl- senhood these are things-, worth the striving for. -''7- 7-7 In speaking of the teachers jart In this treat work. Dr. Venable most strenuously . objected to the phrase, "educational redemption." Things are not atao an low ebb as that. Our peo ple-have not to be redeemed, irom a half-savage state: .They are not un civilized, nor bad, nor dangerous. There are worse things than Illiteracy and education 'Is not everything In life 7 nor a universal remedy for poverty and all the fleshly ills. .- The State has already accomplished great things, especially in the 25 years just passed, and to speak of redemption Is to disparage those unselfish workers who have claimed so little and have done so much. " In the past 10 years illiteracy has been reduced by one-, fifth and wv have gotten a start which will speedily show a . still greater, re duction. .. ' ' -:7c -Ci 7-S The conditions -were briefly stated, as follows: Population 1,893,810, some 85 per ; cent, living upon the farm; 678,599 children of whom 266,- 570 are In school. 7 In some counties the percentage of children in school is as low'as 21. These must be brought in, for their own sakes and for sake of the SUte, which needs them as trained producers of wealth and : because laree umorant copulation is an un necessary menace to society. : .7 7; Dr. Venable pointed out three chief causes for the small attendance upon the schools,' the', attendance averaging only 38.9 per cent the Indifference or positive opposition of parents; the un attractive and In some cases wretched school houses, and Inuomplent teachers. , The - first obstacle may be met, said Dr. -Venable, by arousing pub lie sentiment a powerful agency. This is one of the most beneficial re sults to be expected from the present campaign" or education ; it has become very unpopular to decry education.- The second, or school house problem, Is of minor importance, in part provid ed for by the loan fund established by the recent act of the Legislature. The Association : for the Improvement of School Houses, formed last year at the State Normal Is doing a fine work and should be commended. Have a fine school house, if possible, but let there be no sacrifice of teaching effici ency. 77 .' '-.... Adverting to the latter point Dr. Venable made a powerful plea for bet ter instructors. There are now . 5,474 public school teachers in tbe State un. oer tne supervision or so county super, intendents and sad tossy they are very poorly paid. Eight coun ties pay less than $100, one paying only $30, for the administration of $13,250 and the care of 6,500 children. The te ach ers too receive meagre compensation and. the small salaries are causing mere and more men to drop out of the ranks. They .cannot live on $30 or $40 a month. . In this connection, Dr. Venable paid a high tribute to the teachers and superintendent but firm- PROF. W. D. CARMIOHAEL, Secretary and Treasurer of the Assem bly and Ex Officio Clerk of the -Executive Committee. ly contended for an Increase of the efficiency of the service. Pursuing the subject further Dr. Venable took , a very roseate view of the outlook' and reviewed with satis faction tbe changing of conditions. Speaking of the. need of more male teachers and having paid a high com pliment to tbe teachers being sent out by the State Normal for young ladies, Dr. Venable advocated a iNormal College In connection with the Uni versity, yet as distinctly separate as its Law Department, with -somewhat lower requirements for admission and a briefer course of instruction. The 1 address was-, listened to with much interest and pleasure, and the speaker was warmly applauded when he resumed his seat. 7 The Morning Session. . . The morning session of the Assem bly began at 9 o'clock and many new faces were seen In the audience, de noting an increased attendance. An air of enthusiasm was about the hall and the day's sessions started off well. On the walls of the room were 'ex hibits - of , kindergarten work by children of tbe .first and second year in drawing, paper cutting, color, work, paper folding, mats, pencil sketching, etc. This is the first year tbe Assem bly has paid especial attention 10 pri mary work and the interest created by the exhibition during idle moments yes terday indicates that it will be a popu lar feature of future gatherings. The exhibits are from various schools in the State, with one from Miss Susan P. Pollock, of Washington,4 D. C, one of the most-noted kindergartners in the South, who will spend the en tire week at the Assembly - demon strating the work. ; Mrs-J. A. Robin son, of Durham,- has general super vision of the primary department and teachers of the rural schools seem es pecially to take great interest. - All the . morning session was de voted to committee reports. 7 Prof. Julian Foust, chairman of the com mittee oh Legislation, discussed many desirable changes in the lw relating to public schools and made a strong plea for better school houses rural libraries and more efficient: super vision. He recommended that county superintendents should receive better pay. and urged that the State should aid the ' weaker counties in. working out the public school problem. Prof. CL H. Mebane led the discussion. The question of rural libraries was discussed upon the dommittee report from that department by Prof. Foust, Prof. Collier Cobb and others, the central' idea being that a - substantial private fund for a' library can be ob tained In most every school..-. Reports of committees on Correla tion and Monument to O. H. Wiley were postponed until Friday. ' . Under head of , Past, .Present . and Future 6f Local Taxation in -North Carolina, Supt. Thos. Foust, of Golds- boro, gave a splendid review of what had been accomplished since 1873. In 18817 it-looked .as if local taxation would sweep the State, but it received a back set on account of an irregular Ity of the law which took a part of the tax Intended for tbe white race and turned it to the fund - for. the colored. There are now 115 local tax districts in the 8tate. j During the past two years 50 towns, 8 townships and districts, which have voted on local taxation have carried it. : Over 10 per cent of the school fund collected in the State is by local taxation and the whole country collects about 69 per cent, by the same methods The idea should grow In North Carolina. Prof. M. H. Holt, ol Oak Ridge, dwelt upon the subject and nrged that the State must have' energetic supervisors, If best results are to be obtained.
