Sunday morning a colored wo
man and man got off the early
morning train and stepped up to
the night policeman. and asked
him how far it was to town. Ho
replied that they were in a town.
They then asked him to direct
them to a^ first class hotel, he
then directing them to Uncle
E.aneV, but by some mcitiis they
were not satisfied and asked to
be shown another place. Thi.s
was done and still Ifhey were not
satisfied and very quietly replied
to the policeman that they did
not want to go to a hotel any
way and walked off.
One of the biggest business
protnotions received by a young

Jwho has been appointed by the

'Adhelis, commission merchants
jof New York, as the head of

Way up in northwestern In
diana. chock up against Chicago,
is the steel town of Gary. It
was conceived and built by the
steel trust, and its growth was
only a little short of marvelous.
; Its inhabitants are foreigners,
mostly, of a rathei-, ignorant
.'grade. Murders are frequent
there, and t/he town is not noted
for its good order.
But it is noted for its school
sy.'item. The fame of Gary’s
school system has extended to
the fai'thest ends of the eiirth.
The school day is continuous
from nine o’clock in the morn
ing till nine at night, six day.'^
in the week, and during the
twelve hours, takinjr out time for
meals, the children are kept
bu.-iv at ihe employments they
yn,j(>y. In the e\ening the par
ents form a part of the school
circle. Study, work aiid play are
so coordinated that 'dhe chiJdron
are kept interested with all and
wearied or surfeited with none.
In brief, the life of the children,
outside of study hours, is trans-
feri-sd ti'om the streets to the
schooi liouse, and that place is
made a factor in the'home life.
I The oiinipnient of the achools
is extensive- There are play
grounds, gardens, swimming
pools, machine shops, modelin.;,'
rooms, printing presses, gymnas
iums. libraries, reading rooms,
and the system so requires the
use of them that work, study
and play are agreeably alternat-
*ed, and the thread of instruction
runs through all. Nothing short
Jof illness keeps the Gary boy or
'girl away from school, and th?
parents are coming to look for-
I ward to their evening.'; as a pro-
Ifitable experience.
j The peculiar part of this sys-
item is that tSie e.xpense of the
schools is not materially inci’eas-
|ed. The teachers, too, are bet-
■iter satified with their wor’k.
jSome of the results are thus
j summarized by Superintendent
jWirt: “All waste space in the
buildings is materially increased;
There is being pre.sented in
this city .just now awork on
American histoi-y, the wide cir
culation of vvhich would mean
the dawn ot a new day in this
couhtry~a f’ny in which chil
dren and grown-ups alike would
take a delightful interest in the
events , that have transpired on
this continent since 1492. That
day has not yet come, and the
term “dawn” is usd with the
fullest appreciation of its literal
meaning. This is not an adver
tisement, the name of no pub
lishing house will be lised, and
what precedes and follows here
is written simply and solely for
what it may be worth to t'iiose
who are not yet too old to wish
to know more about their coun
try’s history.
The average young man and
young woman .iust out of school
knows precious little about the
historj’ of North Carolina, The
usual ignorance of She high
school and college graduate in
this respect is appalling. But
the rea.^on therefor is not far to
seek or hard to find. It is simTi-
|ly this: There has never yet
jbeen a hiptory of North Caro-
jlina written that would grasp
jand hold tihe attention of the
'average person. Many interest-
jing and even thrilling events
:have transpii’ed in the building
'of this .State, but .so far no one
has put these events together in
a way that .young and old idiUc
would read with ze.st.
j The HHine could be said of the
I United States until a compara-
jtively recent dfit./.' i'liu iii.ui'v
every man and woman \v1io has
attendee! .school in this country
and has been required t(> take
iL’nited States histjry knows
'that eompaiativi-ly little etl’oit
jvvas made to make that histoiy
attractive. It was not so of
.England and Scotland, and it is
safe to say that nuc^t young
men and women, when they get
fhrmigh high .'ich>ol, know more
about the history of England
and Scotland than they do about
their own country. Dickens and
Scott may be thanked, or biam-
|Cd if .you prefer. f(>r this. For
■Dickens and Scott have njade
, the characters of history ii\ e
'and talk and work r.gain in

the reader and hold it to the
