D.DTLTt.D.

When the charter has been
formulated and accepted by the,

be done in the near future.
The chapel room on the main floor
of the building was comfortagly ?.11ed
with students, members of tho
faculty and people from the city
when President Edgar A. Lowther
announced the opening hymn, number
2, In the new Methodise h>mn
book, "Come, thou almighty King.
Help us thy name to sing." Then the
beautiful hymn of John CTreeult-af
* WhitUer, number 128. was sung.
-while the audience was seated.
PrVjrer was then offfered by the Rev.
Ernest A. Rayner, M. A., head if the
jfc'V Academic department of lo'J institute.
This prayer was an appropriate
1 "petition for tho blessing of divine
Providence to rest upon the school,
those who have labored on' the building,
those who conceived Its establishment,
the faculty and student
body. After the pra?Sr the audience
aroso and Joined In the repetltlou

piano duett was next renderel by
Miss Martha B. Smith, the instructor
4*music in the Institute and one o<
r ? ' her pupils. Miss Gladys Alllgnrd.
The duett was rendered iq a very
effective manner. Miss Smfth has
- already attracted many student^ ?3
; iter department of vocal and instrumental
music. The stirring hvmn,

forth to war," was thea sung b7 the
mudienco. All cptered into the service
of song with puch enthusiasm that
' the sacred strafha made tho halls rewound
with the melody.
Before the singing of th^ school
li-r ~~? aong President Leather stated that
as yet the Bchool had not formed tho
traditions that lend atmosphere to
1 'school and college life. Ho said, "We
are now writing our book of Genesis.
Wo are passing through the iaya

[ A pleasant air of informality wan

ll.owther then called on the Rev. R.
\M. Broom, the Rev. R. L. Gay and
ithe Rev. J. H. Warren and Congressman
John H Small to make
Irief responses. These remarks were
Ivery happily phrased hnd produced
la deep impression,
j Bishop HeDderBon was next Introduced
,to the audience and delivered
a masterful address on tho chief
characteristics of a well-rounded,
educated man and woman. Ho held
tho- closest attention of tho audience
Xy his clear and eloquent description
|of the Idodl personality. Tho educated
person must bo industrially productive.
By this Is meant that there
| uu?t be a return on tho original investment
of talent. No person can lay
Just claim to an education who does
tot reach efficiency In some chosen
, valk of life. There must be growth
:tnd improvement Tho one talent
iiust be two, tho two talents must be
four and the five talents must bo
[ en. This point was also illustrated
from the economic standpoint by-the
Increased productivity of the boII
through tho methods of scientific
agriculture. The second point in the
address stressed the necessity of the
Mucated person being intellectually
compctont. He clearly showed how
brains are responsible for the groat
achievements of men in every walk
of life. TJaing a phrase that Presldent
D. H. Hill, of the State College
I of Asrirftltnre hud n?od whnn ho
|said that the young: man today must
have "power to let," he said that this
was/ far preferable to the condition
of that peraon who had "rooms to

a*tee to run on. schedule time was
one of brains. Brainb are the real
po-wcr thfct is moving the world and
enhancing our commercial and industrial
supremacy. The third point
showed that the educated person!
must bd morally wholesome. There
Rnnst he moral health as well as intellectual
competency. Brilliance
does not guarantee character. Many
brilliant people recruit the ranks of
the criminal and depraved. Brains
mast'be dedicated to a hpb.'e end ?r
they are to hies humanity. The
bishop created a profound impres
|s!on wli^a he showed how the edu-1
jested pc-. in must be soctaHy redemptive.
Education must be direct- J
led into channels of service. This
joint was impressively sent home by
jthe observation of people who had
dedicated knowledge to the service
>f humanity. The address will long
?e remembered by those who heard
it. It was construed along such
ines as to form a policy for the new .
institute. We'I will it be for the
Washington Collegiate Institute if It
8end3 forth Its graduates into their
various lffe vocations with such an
jr^ulpment. Industrial productivity,
^intellectual competency, moral
Mundness, and the redemptive pur!
pose.
After thanking Bishop Henderson
in tho name of the school and?its
local trustees for his presence and
inspiring message, President Lvwiher
announced hymn 686, written
by a college professor of Blui'-p
Henderson, Dd. Caleb T. Winchester.
These two stanzas seemed pecu- '
lrarly appr-?pr.ate,
"Thou sovereign God, receive this i
gift
Thy willing servants offer thee, .
Accept the prayers that thousand^ .

And let theo? halls thy temple be. '
Ard let tho.ie horn, who here abal'

THE MEANING AND NEED
OF A COOgGIATB
INSTITUTE.
' (By E. A. lowtlicj.)
There i^ay or may notho nmeh
in a nfinnv
been exercised in its selection, to
the end that tlio name may also explain
the purpose and mission of
the thing named. Washington's
now institution of learning is not
a high school n> r is it n nollfiv^
ikougt many will persist in calling
ii such. It is not a grammar school
though just at present the majority
of its students are in the grammar
department. It is a collegia!*
institute which properly includes
collegiate, academic ur high sch'
and grammar debarments. Such a
school will fit iti with the local
needs and servo tho interests . ;
Xorth Carolina for some time r
tome as well as any other kind . ;
School epnld possibly do.
The wisdom of tho establishment
of a collegiate institute haul
ready boon shown as the work < f
crganization and the classification
tf students has proceeded. If wo
iiad dcided to accept no students
l>clow high school grade, then we
would have been forced to refuse
admission to -tho majority of our
students who have eomc with the
best their local noigld>orhoods have
furnished, by way of preparation.
All these applicants are themselves
the besb arguments for a more efficient
teaching force in our rural
public schools. They-sjiow the se
nous disadvantages under which
every one must study in a "oneteacher
school whero there is a
maximum of confusion and a minimum
of efficiency. Then again, if
evo had not had a high school department
because of a decision fo
receive only students'of collegiate
standing, ?wo would have had to
turn away somo of our most promising
pupils. As it is, we have the
teachers and the departments
whore we can place students with
varying degrees of preparation
and at various stages. of educational
standing. We can easily promote
from one department into
mother as tho case requires or the
