M'lVER'S GREAT SPEECH For Tw) ,onrs he Received the Closest Attention of an Im mense Audience. REVEREND L. M. CURTIS ALSO MAKES A POWERFUL PLEA FOR LOXGEU SCHOOL TERMS KEV. A. CREK8 HAPPY S PEECII OF WEL COME A BOUNTIFUL PIN NER AND EVERYBODY . PLEASED. As was previously announced, the fiertie Teachers' Association met at Roxobel last Friday. Notwithstand ingthe rain early in the morning apd the threatening clouds, by 10:30 o'clock, the time advertised for the exercises to begin, a large crowd had assembled from nearty every part of Bertie and a large number from Northampton and Hertford counties. The meeting was held in the large Raptist church and was called to or der by the energetic and efficient county superintendent of Bertie, Mr. R. W. Ae-kew, president of the a a so n'ation, and the opening prayer was offered by Rev. T. T. Speight, D. D.. of Lew.reton. . Rev. Archibald Cree, pastor of the' church, in-a happy speech of about 15 or 20 minutes, welcomed the Association and visi tors to trie hospitable town of Roxo- tel5 He said Roxobel extend d to ih visitors present a North Carolina welcome and explained what that meant by pleasaut illustrations oi events in his -on lite since he has been in tin's county, he being a na tive of Scotland ard cane to this county about six years ago. His 'spre h 'was . brimful of plca'sant. in teresting things, very ir.struct've aud in.erested his audience greatly. President Askew responded in a few well (Ihosen remarks in which he uthned the work and intentions of the association After the reading of the declaration of independence v Mr. P. 8. Vann. (this meeting be ing first appointed for the 4th of July), and an essay on "Our Country" by Mr. K. S. Askefw, which showed j careful preparation and deep thought. ITon. F. D. Winston, Bertie's dis tinguished orator, stepped upon the rostrum, and in his happiest and eU oquent style introduced the orator of the day Dr. Chas. D. Mclver, presi dent of the Mate Normal and Indus trial school for women at Greensboro, br. Mclver began to speak a few min utes before 12 o'clock and it was 2 o'clock before he concluded We -would be doing him an injustice to at ' tempt a description of his speech in ; this brief space. It is enough to 6ay j that even available scat in the house I was occupied, the aisles and vacant places were filled with chairs, and that he held this vast audience spell bound on a hot Jul' day from a few minutes to twelve till after two, being over two hours, when most of the audience knew what a bountiful din ted thtru at the conclusion iresa. H is aadress was mainly a plea for beuer comruou schcoU and longer terms. He showed that of the 370,- , . . -.j ,u n 000 white children in Jsorth Carol.- na of school age only 35.000 attend- c'd private schools, leaving 335.C00 deiendent upon the common or pub-1 1 i i e - i u.ininrr f At lie schools for their training lor fu-1 . f . . lure lite. He enumerated the objec - lions raised apunst tl?e public free bchools and answered tbm in a way thnt carried conviction to his hearers J done away with, the common schools or the higier .eould almost con. eider it ao insult if any one should ask him which be preferred to re main; that the colleges and univer sities could never reach the masses while the common schools could, and tl)at 11 ffa essential to the welfare and , prosperity of the State that the masses be educated. Bat he saw no reason why the University, the State Normal ami Industrial School and the Agricultural aqd Mechanicsl School should be abolished. There was work in the State for all. He claimed that a whiter woman should i f ' . have the same educational advan tagc as a white man, a colored man or a colored woman. He was frequently applauded and it was plainly evident that he had the vast audience with him. At the conclusion of his speech and bene diction by Rev. Jesse T. J3raper, Rev. A. Cree announced that refresh ments had been provided on the grounds, and invited -.everybody to the tables and partake of such as had been prepared. In a few minutes the long tables in the grove which were laden not only with substantial but with all the delicacies of the season, were sur rounded as one of the best public dinners we have ever seen spread was served to the people. The Rox obel people sustained their reputa tion for open hearted generosity and hospitality. Dinner being over the people again, at the ringing of the bell, repaired to the church where the exercises of the day which -insisted of aii essay by Miss Rosa Askew on "The Cultiva tion of Conscience," a recitation, "A Thought," by Miss Nellie A. Bond, and the "Charge of the Light Brig ade," by Misses -'!la and Ljzzie Mitchell, Eiinua and Annie Jernign. Sue Morris and Anuie Tayloe were completed. All were well rendered andjreflect ed much credit upon the association. This ended the program except re marks by "Visiting Friends." Rev. -Ly M. Curtis, .of Aulander, was called for. lie arose and said that he objected to being called a vis'tor, that he wanted it under stood that he was a member of the association and was always happy to be with the workers in the 6eldof education. He complimented Dr.. Mclver on his masterly address of the morning and said he desired to say that he too was in favor of long er school terms and better equipped teachers. He soon warmed up on the subject and made a powerful, eloquent plea for -the free public schools. Mr. Cuttis is an able man and is always ready to help aiong the cause of education. At the close of Mr. Curtis' speech Dr. Mclver again arose and said he desired to explain some things he failed to make clear in the morning. He soon warmed up on the sulject j and made one of the most interesting and instructive speeches of the day which wae frequently and lordly ap plauded. He spoke for nearly an hour and one moment would have his audience almost in tears and the next paring with laughter. When he concluded, Rev. MrJ Curtis re marked that he (Curtis) believed that Dr. Mclver had "saved the best wine until the last." . After ringing "God be with you till we meet aain" by the choir, with Miss Essie Peele as organist, which had .by occasional SWBfit music through out the exercises of the da' which had been most excellently rendered, done much to make the occasion en- jovable, the meeting adjourned with j j Jenediction by ev. 1. l.Spe.ght. ID. D. .We are sale in saying that qq mUDg of tbe Benie Te. 'Association has ever been more en- Joyed by lliose present. In fact ev- ery meeting seems to be better than the last.
