This growth end de velopment Is peculiar to otfr own nation. Many educators would hare ve that our system ts Nd?vel based upon the faeCa oT y, as much as many sections of ntnr would llks to clalii prl rfor the establishment of our . public school systems. The truth is that this system is a slow *fclut*O0 ef* t*e public1 for the need of uni versal education as the real-founda tion for our Institutional stability. \ Every natiohNhas the form of g^T ornment best suited to the AeMs of the people, for the forlh or govern* Went is the out-growth of Oie con . senses of public thought. The voice of the people In every nation la the government. An absolute monarchy can exist only when the people ruled believe the power ef 'the ruler should be ab-j ^ ' solute. A limited monarchy can ex ist fdr only those who believe in that ^ form of gorernment. A republican forih. of government can exist for only those people who believes in a representative form of government. The voice of the people Is heard In the different -forme of government \ In just the proportion the peeple want their voice heard. It Is a no tlreable fkct In the htstofrDf human civilisation that the people have po litical M^erty In proportion to the public Intelligence.

'.In a nation like ours whhre the government rests upon the heads . of-its intelligent citiensblp. In a civ ilisation like the one In which we live, not only the form of govern* ment, but t\e civilisation itself de / pends In no smsll measure upon pub 4Br education. The nation, or the sUte In the* nation, or the country In the sUte, will prosper In the pro-, portion that public education la fos tered.

If, however, the Individ ual's service power .for the state to [properly developed then his earning power as an Individual adds greadRI to his capacity fOr -service to the, state; for his service power will In clude his economic worth. As we read the history of civili sation we are impressed with the. fact that the growth, development and decay of nations to after all only! the birth, establishment and work ing out of groat ideas. A little over a century ago a new nation sprang | up opotf the eastern htepei* the North American Continent, it Is to day perhaps the greatest nation up; on the earth. Ardund whai form does the American nation ccnter? The Greeks gave us the beautiful; Rome, Unt; Jews, Religion; England individual freedom an<^ American Po litical freedom.

We in North Carolina are so well grounded In our national Idea, and are-,troubled so little wtth the Immi gration problem that we\ have not seen the necessity of public educa tion, like our .lees favored sister Mates. I say' "less favored" with all the emphasis I can. It to a blessing to any man to have been born and reared in North Carolina.

And, the safety, to aayinQtfclM Pf the pros perity of our state, defends upon the Intelligence of its citlzons, our Yeo Our system of public * education from the otate University down to the kindergarten, while not perfect. Is based upon sane principles. %We realize that "the difficulties of. de mocracy are the opportunities of dd-, ucatlon," (N, M. Butslr) and that each generation Is not only the in heritor 'of a glorious past, -but {fcta> a trustee for posterity. And thab "to preserve, protect, and transmit its inheritance unimpaired, is its highest duty. To accomplish this is not t?e task of the few, but the duty I of III." IN. M. Butlefr). Again wc realize that "That democracy alone will be triumphant which has both in telligence and character. To devel op them among the whole people is thfe task of education in demac/acy." (N. M. Butler). We realise that "There is no smack of charity about the public educational system of~ America. It Is for sill. It is the un; Iversal and inalienable rlgftt of every man and woman, every son and I daughter of the realm. It Is the cor ner-stone of our plan, the essential factor of our governmental pur pose ..... The public schdoltf. I are jo train boys and girls,?not to 'support tho thriftless or the unfort unate." (Draper). We realize that "Whatever adds to the real enlightenment of the mul titude, adds to the happiness, the j strength and the securfty of a repub lic which rests upon the common In telligence snd equality of rights for all." (Draper.)? TJ?ls does not mean socialism If by socialism you mean a kind yof paternalism. It does mean equality of rights under the law, but not equality of results in spite of moral and legal fights. We realize thatuhe educational purpose of our state would make th? work of tho schools aid the indus tries, that it would give as much prominence and as much honor to | manual skill as to Intellectual occu pations, and yet its educational pur pose coaches forward to the very mountain tops of human learning. "It is tims for all to raalise tha* that purpose points not only to a tree elementary school in reach 6t every home, but also to a free high school," and a free university, col lege or training school for ^every young taan or womfcn who can avalt himself of theoe opportuhlties. I Realizing these things our state system is divided into two general typew of schools: v (a)?Stat* scohols to train for (b)?Public schools that wtti lay for us st least the groaad work for t0| -m ? ? < Ob.

No pen can describe It. np words express it.. May they, as they sit around the cold tortL have the coneoling thought that she was pare in spirit, upright in walk and that nowr after blessing their liome for twenty years, softly and tenderly Jeeus hath called her out of the shadowland into the sunshine V-the beautiful mansions above. 8he loved to livrfr she loved the compan ionship of her friends; she loved her Lord. Life was before' her with all its possibilities and uncertainties. She cared not for frivolities of this worlfcnor any of i\s allurements. She chose not to fritter away her life on things' ^superficial. Truly can we write?she was a woman. Uif until a few weeks ago when the finger of disease touched her, she waa the very picture of health; none thought but that fome sweet day abe would stem out on life's hillside and jcat<h glimpses of her %fternoon ? but not so?she only, sweetened the morning with her presence, choosing heaven to spend her evening. During all her illness she was patient and re aigned?no murmer escaped her lips and when'the angels lulled her to sleep none can gainsay she was not ready. She- passed out as she bad lived quietly, peacefully, for she was but a atranger and sojourner here? the New Jerusalem was her home. Thus another matured flower has *been plucked on earth to garnish the conservatory on high, but its sweet ness, its purity, its Innocence, sflll abides. Ruth's llfe'y work has been fulfill ed?tt was not for her to tarry but a day. Some glad dsy she and loved ones wm once again greet and clasp hands in tfcat City not made with hands. The sympathy of the entire city goes to those in the home. May the same hVnd that has seen fit to wound I be the one to su.ccor and comfort.
