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 let" In Che upper sto>y.

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, .

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 Land Sal I Lots. /.. 'v' ;T A'.: ' ' -y & ' ?a?Lu:-;' i' probably 'air. ? ibeu ??. mi; " --I 5 For it 10 ( ? A.
