POE MAKES INTERESTING ADDRESS Zarae Number Heard Tairnted Speaker at Auditorium Last t ? S'ight. ? BPOK* OK BTATB DEVELOPMENT I)uctu*e? Intellectual Life, Com munity Life and General Democracy. MISS ETTA LEE CAMPBELL Pre?, of Graduating Class. Replete with interesting infor mation, instructive data and a* musing incidents, the address de livered last night at the high sehol auditorium by Clarence | Poe, editor of tho "Progressive Farmer," more than fulfilled the expectations' of a large audience present. Mr. Poe made a meet favorable impression on his hear ers and the vital points of hit speech will not soon forgotten. I "Tt i? somewhat difficult to-d< j tide upon a subject for occasion* of this kind/' he began, "in which l.<oth old and young will be inter ested. There is one topic, how ever, to which old and young a like respond and . that is the arfcjfl*ement? amh the amYritidjia' of this glorious state of ours. Tt is of this I wish to speak?of what is needed for the upbuild ing and betterment of our condi tions. "All Achievements are built on great aspirations and it is neces* sary that "we have a vision of our. possibilities before devoting our selves to the practical work of at tainment. "I am going to divide my talk into three parts; the development of the intellectual life, the devel opment of a community and the development of a true spirit of democarcy. uWe need a more intense com ntuxuty life. There has lieeu too much individualism. A man's home shouldn't be the four walls inside of which he lives; it should bo the entire community. Jf a fcian has a beautiful home, ^well educated children, pood roods a cposs his property, and if all the rest of his neighbors lire in shacks can't afford to educate their chil dren nor build'reads that are ser viceable, the first man's work is entirely nullified. I am glad to eay that there are plenty of towns in Norh Carolina whore the feel ing is prevalent that "whatever helps the town helps me," and whore the residents are ready and i willing to make some sacrifice for j tSe behorit of the community. A spirit t>f rivalry does much to de velop, community interest; coun ty ftAn. prizes for the beat-kept homes, for the school that makw toh beat record, for the neatest looking farm, for the best-kept lawhs, and so on. All these a rouae Intereet and a desire to out do tho other fellow. "And third, there is the devel opment of a'spirit of genuine <le mocarcv. We need to have great faith in the masses of our people. Tf we baftre this faith there i? no end to the ponsibilitie? we may firhiove. It is by faith in herself, f-iith in her people, faith in her development and faith in her fu ture that North Carolina, larger than Encrland and larger than Scotland may work out a civili" ration as trreat and as varied as these countries.*' The most dramatic feature of laat night's interesting prograi:' was the presentation by the l^au^rhteTT* the Confederacy, and unveiling of photographs of Generals Ixsp and Jackson. The presontafam^ap^och was made in a most pleasing manner by Miss Lena Windlev. , Upon the conclu sion of hc.r remark*, the flag* that hid the faces of the photo graphs from view, were removed to the accompaniment of "Dixie/* . mid heiartv applause. Miss Ruth Butler's rendition 'of "Avo Marie" was another en joyable feature. Miss Butler's voice is of wxqnisitc tone and the applause continued for fully fiv ? minute? after sho had finished, in the attempt to have her sine an other seJ.oc.tion. The remainder of the program was as follows: lw iCtioru^?Welcome pretty primrose flower. 2. Tnvtwation?Rev. R. J,. Gay. 3. Honor roll and honorable h rent-ion?Read by J.

"We have a right to bo proud oi! the progress havo made irv educational affair*, but not of the | position wo oooupy. It doesn't seem altogether consistent when von realize that Japan, which wo call a heelhen nation, gives all of her children ten months of schooling in the year, whilo we here in North Carolina have to be oontent with five. It ia neces sary to levy more taxes and to wage * great educatioanl cam paign. And we do not only need to have more education, hot also ? better qnality of education.
