2 TEACHERS’ ASSEMBLY WAS ORGANIZED AT HAYWOOD WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS IN JUNE, 1884. TWELVE SUCCESSFUL YEARS. The Idea Originated With Col. Eugene Harrell, Who Has Been Secretary From the Beginning —Only Building in the Country Owned by a Teachers’ Assembly—Prof. J. Y. Joyner, the New President, and Prof. Charles J. Parker, the New Secretary of the As sembly. The North Carolina Teachers' Assem bly was formed at Haywood. White Sul phur Springs, June 16th, 1884. The idea was the conception of Col. Eugene G. Harrell. To a News and Observer representa tive Col Harrell said: “The idea occur red to me while visiting in the moun tains, at Haywood White Sulphur Springs. The spot seemed to be so favor able as a resting place for tired teachers, I asked the hotel proprietor if he would be willing to take fifty teach ers on ‘ the following summer at a dollar a day board for two weeks. He consented, and 1 immediately began the publication of the N. 0. leacher in order to arouse an interest in the com ing meeting. Instead of fifty teachers there was an attendance of 865, and the N. C. Teachers' Assembly was then an assured success. “That meeting was known as the North Carolina Chautauqua. The presidency was unananimonsly offered to me as the originator of the idea, but 1 declined this honor, preferring to be secretary of this organization, well knowing that a very large amount of work must be done by the secretary in order to complete the organization and insure continued sue cess. JsSp- President Joyner. “Capt. J. J. Fray, of Raleigh, was elect ed first president with Dr. R H. Lewis, of Kinston, as vice-president. “The place selected for the next meet ing of the Assembly was Black Mountain and before this meeting convened Pre sident Fray had passed away and Dr. P,. H. Lewis, of Kinston, succeeded to the presidency. At this meet ing there were present 620 per sons. It was decided that the next meeting should be held at the same place, Black Mountain, and the attend ance grew to 720, being about 400 more than the strained capacity of the hotel. It then became evident to all that the Assembly had far outgrown the accom modEtion of any single hotel in the west, and the attention turned toward the seaside and the big Atlantic Hotel, at Morehead City; and that place was unanimously chosen for the fourth annual meeting. Something over a thousand persons attended the sessions, which were held in the ball room, where the incessant noise iHid confusion of the dining room,and children playing around the balconies, made attention an impos aibility. But all were delighted with Morehead City and the sea. “The necessity for a building of our own became apparent, and the idea was Secretary Parker. proposed to the Assembly by the Secre tary, he agreeing to assume the respon sibility of the erection of an audi torium, not to cost over $1,750. And he was inst. acted to go ahead with the work, if he eon id succeeded in raising the money. The Secretary conferred with the owners of the hotel and asked them to give $1,750, which they very promptly did, well know ing the necessity of the assembly to them. “Mr. A G. Bauer, the Raleigh arehi tect, very kindly drew the plans of the Assembly bnildiug, of much more im, o ing dimensions than the original itiua “It was an elegant two story structure with an auditorium to seat 1,200 people on the second floor, and twelve large rooms for committees and educational exhibits on the first floor. He gave the plans and specifications to the Assembly. The lowest bid for the contract was $5,500, which, with extras as pro posed, amounted to about $6,500 The Secretary solicited donations from varous publishing houses iu 'he North, and succeeded in raising $2,500. Know ing that the building was to be erected for the future, be finally decided to go ahead with the work under the enlarged form, and it was built by J. A. Wilson At Co., of Selma. The secretary ad vane j ed considerable money, bat yet lacked SB,OOO of enough to complete the pay ments, and for this amount he gave his notes, assuming the responsibility of payment. This was in 1888. “Every session since then has been held at Morehead City in the Teach ers’ own splendid building, which is the only State educational building owned by teachers in the United States. With the annual fees of membership and advances which the secretary was able to make from time to time, he has paid all the current expenses of every session, and reduced the SB,OOO notes down to a last one of only SBOO. “The sessions have grown in interest from year to year, and the organization has given an impetus to the cause of ed ucation in North Carolina, such as no other influence or power in the State. This is freely admitted by all, and it will be hard to realize the vast amount of good which has been accomplished.’ The Presidents have been: 1. John J. Fray, of Raleigh. 2. R. H.
