It has been appropriately remarked that the Lutheran church was born in a university. Its founder was one of the staunchest advocates of education, and education lias ever been a cardinal prin ciple of the Church of the Reformation. When historic Organ church, one of the oldest of the North Carolina synod, sent a committee across the Atlantic to secure a pastor, the same committee was charg ed with the duty of engaging a Christian teacher. This spirit never abated, and when the membership of the church in North Carolina was yet comparatively v ninll, the president of the synod, the Rev. J. A. Linn, Sr., said in his report: ‘We have but one subject that we would recommend to your wisdom and . discre tion, one which we conceive of vital im portance * * * the establishment of a high school of collegiate character, ■ which is the general wish of our laity. * * * Shall we bury the minds com mitted to our care and tuition for want of action in supplying the means neces sary to their improvement? Nay. verily, brethren!" This was * in 1812. The same year, a convention was ealed for the purpose of maturing a plan for estab lishment of a literary institution. A temporary hoard of directors was ap pointed who selected Mount Pleasant. Cabarrus county, as the location. An admirable site was secured on an emi nence overlooking the entire community, tt threestory brick building and a presi dent’s house were erected, and in 1813 Western Carolina Male Academy began its career under the presidency of the Rev. William Gerhardt, a graduate of I’ennsylvania college. Gettysburg. The academy enjoyed a splendid pat ronage and prospered under the able and efficient administration of Doctor Ger hard!. Gratified and t\icouraged by the growth of the instiution, the synod de nied to raise its standard to that of a college, and in 181!) the legislature of the state chartered North Carolina college. Two additional brick buildings were erected, physical and chemical labora tories were installed, the library was en larged. more professors were added, and an endowment of more than $20,000 was raised. Rev. I). H. Riddle. I>. I)., was elected president of the college and it started auspiciously on its career as a graduate school. Soon the war clouds lowered, and North Carolina college un derwent the sad experience of so many southern institutions. The large majority of the young men in attendance at the outbreak of tin* war answered the call to do battle for their native states. The carpets from the beautiful society halls were torn up and cut into blankets for the soldier boys by ithe ladies of the village. The college was practically all lost, as a result of ftie war. The college resumed operations in 18<;<> The first class was graduated in 4871. During the 30 years that followed 21 classes were graduated with a total of 70. More than 47 iter cent, of the gradu ates entered the gospel ministry, some of these becoming leaders in church and state, north and south. Hundreds and hundreds not taking the full course were prepared for the real duties of an intelli gent citizenship; and the wholesome and splendid influence of the work of the college has been and is felt today throughout every section of the state and our southern church. It is indeed in spiring to dwell on the thought of how far down into the dim future educational and religious effort fruitfully travels. Despite the splendid work done and the enviable record made by North Caro lina college under the able and energetic administration of such men as Doctors L. A. Rikle. G. D. Rernheim, J. R. Davis, G. F. Schaefer. J. G. Schaid, J. D. Shirey, M. G. G. Schere and IV. A. Lutz, -the in stitution never recovered from the serious losses sustained in the (50’s and, for vari ed and wise reasons at the time, college work was suspended by act of synod con curred in by the hoard of trustees in 15)01. Mt. Pleasant is wlmt its name im plies—a pleasant, enterprising orderly town of 800 inhabitants, 20 minutes’ drive east of Concord, which is on the main line *of the Southern railway, mid way between Charlotte and Salisbury. The elevation, favorable climatic condi tions. pure cold water, beautiful land scape scenery and wholesome environ ment render it an ideal location for a school. No one can visit the grounds of the Collegiate Institute without being impressed by their naural beauty and classic scenery. On a rolling eminence overlooking fix' town, are situated the Institute* buildings. It js a rare ex ception that a young man does not enjoy his stay in Mount Pleasant. The rule is that students become warmly attached to the place. The social advantages are many and they are highly appreciat ed by the students. THINK SLACK’S BID IS ONLY “A SUMMER DREAM" This Is Opinion of Shipping Board Rel ative to Offer For Merchant Fleet. Washington. June I.—A thorough in vestigation lots convinced the shipping hoard. Chairman Lasker announced .to day, that there is no prospect that the bid of more than a billion dollars made by John W. Slack, of Silver Creek. N. Y., for the board's merchant fleet would ever l>e 'executed if it were accepted. An inquiry on the subject was conducted by the shipping board in con junction with other government depart ments with which Mp. Slack has had business transactions with the result that Mr. Lasker said, that the offer had been definitely classified, as a "summer dregm," Score of Special Trains for Big Spring Meeting, Spencer. June 1.4-Southern Railway officials are making detail arrangement for handling 21 special passenger trains through Spencer bound for Washington on account of the Shriners' meeting in that city this week.

First Effort of Governor Smith’s Action. New York, June 2. —Genniro Gelongi noui, arrested last night charged with possessing 110 gallons of wine, was dis charged today by Magistrate Goodman on the ground that the court had no jur isdiction since the arrest was made after Governor Smith had signed the Mullen- Gage state prohibition enforcement act. TH£ CONCORD TIMES MONT AMOENA SEMINARY Ry J. H. C. Fisher. Education of women no longer needs defense or apology. L is now recog t'd as fundamental. Given a truly educa t'd and trained Christian woman, the cafety of the home, the church and the : tate is assured. In fact demonstrations of this statement are to be found on every hand. It is a common thing nowadays to find a woman the defense of her home, the (hnmpion of the church, the purifier of public life and aggressor in the arts and sciences. She may be said to be. in the most real sense, the teacher .of the coming generation. She must be tlu' mother of it. and most of the school rooms will be filled by her. In order that she may do .this great work well and secure for herself happiness and future, institutions. Mont Amoena among them, especially adapted to woman’s needs, have sprung up all over our land. The design of this institution is to furnish, at the lowest cost, a Christian education lo the daughters of the church, and to all who wish to take advantage of our opportunities. She does not pur sue this policy to secure patronage, but 'because it is the duty of Hie church to make education as easy to secure as pos sible, in order that all her daughters may be trained for useful positions in life. Mt. Pleas6ut is a favorable location for :m institution of such a character, on account of the town's being a cultured moral and Christian community and the cheapness of products. Many attend our school because they cannot afford to pay a large sum for education ; many at tend because they do not want to pay a larger sum ; many attend because the school has a record for thorough class room drill and scholarly work; while many attend because the location offers attractions and inducements which can not be found in a city with the costly and fashionable demands. The work of the Mont Amoena semi nary is under the supervision of the board of trustees in whom the evangeli cal Lutheran Synod of North Carolina has-vested, by .appointment, authority and the obligation for its welfare. The board in turn is under the control of the synod. The local management is under the direction of Rev. J. H. C. Fisher, principal and Prof. 11. A. Fishey, assistant principal, both having been duly elected by the foard of trustees. The constant aim of the management -pHRRr.T | D CONSIDER YOUR LOSS , ij if your important papers, jewelry, and other valuables i || should be stolen or destroyed by fire.
