Not one cent has any member of the board received for services, though a number of them have made gifts personally and in spired others to make donations. Details All Worked Out. Every detail ol what shall be eventually a magnificent, humane and educational institution has been worked out. The location of every building has been fixed. We know where the barn and milk house, to bo built by the boys when they are working, shall be located. We know where the wood-working shop shall be placed when an interested friend says the word to commence. We know where the little chapel shall be built, in which every denomina tion known to Christianity shall in rotation hold service, when time will permit laying the question of cost per capita before the official - heads of the several denominations in North Carolina. We know where the drill crounds shall be as soon as our own boys may find time to make their imitation guns of woods, tor the government of the institution will be military. We know where the little pavilion shall be built for weekly concerts (music hath charms) when we find the man to donate us instruments. We know where the other eight cottages are to be built (two now complete) as soon as we can find five benevolent folks or charitable organizations to furnish the funds, and the boys can find time from their studies to assist in erec tion. Three of the remaining eight are provided for. One of them the King's Daughters are raising funds for another will be provided for by a source we are not at liberty vo this time to make known; and the third we have reason to know that several countv superintendents of the state will provide for to be known as cottage. name to be selected at the next annua 1 meetlne. We know where the Dastures shall be (already- made) when funds available ior tne purchase of cattle can be had. We know where the corn and cotton fields and earden spots shall be when spring comes on. We know where the little hosiery mill shall be loca ted, when funds for the building can be secured, for a friend has been found to furnish the machines.

Some will try to escape, but they will come back for the system is so perfect. It may be of interest to your readers to look into the life of a cot tage just at sun down. Twenty-eight boys are seated at tables eating whole some, yet plain food. They have clean faces and hands. Hair neatly brush ed. Two boys delegated for the week to assist the matron in cooking etc., are waiting on the tables. Supper is finished. In the assembly hall, some are playing innocent games, some read ing good books (hundreds of which lov ing Christian friends of the state have already sent in), at 9 o'clock all retire to the first floor. They undress, hang ing un their clothes in individual ward robes. They don night-shirts and, put ting on house slippers, march up two flights of stairs. The doors close be hind. Each boy has a bed. The window sash rises only 5 inches at bot tom it comes down at top only 5 inches. The transoms elevated 12 feet, open entirely af weather demands, it is 25 feet to the ground. To keep intruders away or guard against fire there is of course a night watchman on constant duty. It is hardly proba ble that any boy in his night shirt alone, would become so home sick dur ing the night and lean down 35 feet into the night and so awav before breakfast time! The arrangements for the care. keep, instruction and control during the day are equally as satisfactory. Some boys may get away just for awhile; but they'll come back. There is nothing else possible, under our arrangements.

THOMPSON'S "Sbrup tech The School in Class of Its Own. No other institution in the state gives free absolutely all that goes to one's keep in school. No other Insti tution has much concern about the real physical detention of their pupils yet the small amount we feel cer tain we need does not approach per ! capital 50 oer cent, of what is asked and given to other institutions. I have been criticised for making a mod est request, but I am speaking for the board as well as myself when I say that we do not desire a single dollar that we cannot spend judiciously and in a way that will best carry out the spirit of our institution. We have a property worth more than $30,000 upon an appropriation of only $10,000. Knowing the temper of my board, the spirit and the enthusiasm of interested friends in the state and out, I am safe in declaring that, when we again give an account of our stewardship, it will be two dollars for every one the state contributes. This is the low view, how ever, for value of a useful life to the state or the condition of a soul here after is net to be figured on these lines. The Stonewall Jackson . Training School, Mr. Editor, is the response to the demand of humanity. It occupies an important sphere in the activities of the state. It believes all boys un der 16 years of age deserve a chance, other than that in the environment of a criminal. It believes that no boy. violating law and order, should be turned loose because of his youth; neither does it believe that a great Senate bill to amend charter of Greensboro . by providing for inspec-1 tion of metres.

The second floor, fronted by an attractive porch, contains kitchen, din- 'ing-room, assembly room, omcei b I room, small hall and stairway for use i of officer and matron exclusively. The same iron stair continues to third floor where there is a sleeping room con 'talning 30 white enameled iron bed i steads. This room has 12 large win idows and transoms and is open on three sides to the outside world. I would, to argue this point, insult the,, ladies, who appeared before the General Assembly of 1907, and the assembly itself. Eliminate that knowl edge entirely, and I am almost ap palled at the inquiries and applications coming to me daily. During the past week, here in Raleigh, four snlendid widows have beseeched me to take their boys back home with me. Boys twelve years old and beyond the con trol of teachers and mothers! What are you going to do with them? I have nearly 200 applications. The first pupil we received is less than 12 years old. He violated the dignity of the law. Turn him loose means a li cense for his doing worse. Convict him and imprison him with hardened criminals, without hope, you crush his life; you destroy him. So far as sav ing him to the state or so far as his soul is concerned, it might be cheaper and the shortest route, to give him a ticket to everlasting perdition. Every man and woman in the state of North Carolina knows of a boy or two in every town in the state who though young has gotten beyond con trol of parent and teacher has be come a law unto himself. Unless he is protected from himself beyond that most critical age of a boy 12 to 17 there is a strong probability of a crimi nal beins turned out. The Plain Condition. We have room n?w for sixty. We can have in the early summer or fall accommodation for sixty more. Were section 12 of chapter 509 of the laws of 1907 invoked, but discretionary with the governor, our capacity would soon be filled. We trust he will not invoke it at this time, for in a very short time (1) it can be filled from the courts now holding; and (2) we have now no funds, the cost of keep, care and teach ing falling upon a friend of the cause whose name it is unnecessary to men- tion in this connection. What We Need. WTe need from the state funds for the erection of an administration build ing. This building if erected by any ther state institution would cost $40,- 000 or more. We ask and need just $20,000. In this building we have offices, home for superintendent, home for lady teachers, four school rooms space for central heating plant and for the installation of industrial features, such as type-setting and printing, tail oring, shoe-making, etc., etc. The boys make the brick on the ground; the boys, under the direction of a com petent mason, make the mortar and lay the brick; they do the wood work and the plastering. In this way they are taught and become producers. We need $15,000 for the first year's support and maintenance and $20,000 annually thereafter for support. "It will require nearly as much assistance teaching, etc., etc., for the sixty this year, as 200 later on. We need to buy clothing, food, equipment, stocky ma chinery, tools, supplies and a thousand and one things during the first vear. And until we get our fields in shapo it would be useless to hoe lor u.a.a assistance from the farm, to which, f-o f?r ps the manual work this year is concerned, the boys will be directed, l am reasonably certain that even by the time we reach our ultimate capac ity (300) the cost of keep will not go beyond $20,000 annually. By that time we shall have, our orchards, berry patches, fields and industrial features so well installed that they will contrib ute largely to the support. who have no hope. It believes that hundreds of mothers and fathers, dis tressed over the condition of an in corrigible boy, should have some means of relief other than a prison life for their sons. The spirit that made the Jackson Training School take shape and come into existence believes that it is cheaper and better to control and train a wild, nervous boy than to later on arrest, try, convict, and punish a criminal. And this does not touch that higher and nobler plane which leads us to believe that possibly a useful life and an immortal soul. may be saved. .. it Has Friends. The Coat Suits, Silk, Wool and Wash Skirts, Muslin Underwear, Shirt Waists, Kimonas, Wrappers and many other garments, and we have "taken time by the forelock'' and have in these departments a liberal stock for early spring showing. It is pleasing, because it convinces us ot the wisdom ot our ettorts to have the unanimous and earnest en dorsement of the state association of county superintendents and that of the city superintendents; and it is of peculiar pleasure to feel that the Stone wall Jackson Training School and what it stands for has. the strong sup port of that able educational leader, Superintendent J. Y. Joyner, who vol unteers his personal and official approv al and help. As far as we know the futur'e by present conditions and by the knowl edge of the past, it is a certainty that every educational organization; the or phanages of the state, every minister and all the chiratable organizations and humane societies of North Caro lina will applaud a generous and kind support from the General Assembly of 1909. The Board of Trustees have done their best. It can plan and act in furthering th future of this important educational interest only as the Gen eral Assembly gives it support the measure of the institution's future is the measure bv which the Legislature deals with it. If they deny support that, caralvzing the cause, ends the chapter. If they will otherwise, it has in advance the pledge of the board of trustees of a faithful service in so far as it has light to do.
