grove in military fashion. j
Kvery rank and tile of citizenship was
lepn-enred among those present, indi

aroused in the institution which cares
for unfortunate boys of ti.e State. The
high and low mingled in pleasing com
radeship. *ml every feature of tlie aji-1
propriate program proved of interest t*> !
each f»erson- in the audience.
Before the dedication exercises began
a number of the visitors made an inspec
tion tour of tlie memorial building,
which will be used as an administration j
building b> the si hool. .Others visited i
the rapidly growing and modern plant |
of the school, sjiecial interest being shown
in the model dairy, -aid to be one of
the tinest -in the State. The visitors
were ai-«> taken through some of the j
cottages, were shown the bakery. the
i.iuiidry. the school rooms and the print
.-In>p. In the latter two youngsters not
more than 12 years of age were delight
ed with the opportunity of demonstrat
ing their ability in mastering two of the
late-t model Linotypes.
The general insj»ectioii of the memorial
building was not made, however, until
after the dedication. The building was
then thrown open; and practically every
one present took advantage of the oppor
tunity of inspecting the structure at close
range..
p The invocation at the dedication exer
| rises was delivered by Rev. \V. A. Jen
kins. pastor of Central Methodist Church.
::fter which the students of the school
sang "Come Thou Almighty King.’** the
tir<t of several numbers rendered during
the service. Chas. E. Roger. sujM*rin
temlent of the .school, presided.
After the hymn Hon. David 11. Blair,
commissioner of Internal Revenue, and i
a son-in-law*of Mrs* Cannon, presented!
the building to the institution. Mr. I’.lair j
declared the structure would assist in
the “building of chanu-tey.** ami "is
j,-- dedicated to the advancement of the
' noble purposes for which this humanitar
ian institution was founded —-the build- \
1 ing of character, the making of good cit
izen- for the State."
"All the great civilized nations of the
earth have made notable contributions to
the worlds architecture." said Mr. Blair
in beginning. "Egypt gave to civiliza
tion the pyramids and obelisks, tombs and
temples, monuments and places of wor
ship. For more than six thousand years
they have stood and they .•♦till stand as
objects of wonder, delight and inspira- i
tion for the people of each succeeding
generation.
"A thousand years before the birth of
< hrist. Greece developed the Boric.
lonic and the Corinthian architecture,
which with all the experience and prog
ress of the ages have never been surpass
ed and seldom equaled. The Parthenon
still stands upon the Acropolis in Ath
ens. a model of symmetric beauty in
harmony, line and proportion.
"A thousand years later Koine gave to
the world the Coliseum and the Pan-!
theon and the Rennaissanee gave to civ
ilization the Gothic cathedrals of -the
British Lies and Europe.
“< »tir own splendid Capitol at Wash-'
. ingt< n with its crowning glory, the im
posing dome and lantern surmounted by
the statin* of freedom, towering high
above the street below js one of the beau
tiful and architecturally perfect build
ings of our own time.
"The names of the builders of these •
great structures in many instances are
forgotten, but their great works stand
as monuments to thei ■ genius and skill."
and despite tin* fact that they are un
known to us. they still live and the in- 1
lltieiice of their .creations have inspired
the peoples of all ages.
1 lie world owes its progress and its
advancement to builders, some of whom |
have devoted their lives and their tal-j
cuts to architecture, some ts> the build-j
ing ot great industries, some to commerce
and the means of transportation, and i
others to the building of character, such !
as the profession of teaching and the 1
ministry. The constructive history of j
the world is the history of these build
ers.
"The Pyramids. Parthenon. theJ
Coliseum, the great cathedrals and the'!
Capitol at Washington would have been i
impossible but for the wealth which is
produced by the builders of industry and
commerce, and industry and commerce i
would have been imimteut to produce the
needed wealth, but for that kind of char
acter which the Stonewall Jackson Train
ing School is successfully building to- j
day.
"This administration building which I
we are about to dedicate has been made j
possible through the thoughtful generos
ity of Mrs. J. W. Cannon, the widow of 1
one of the State's most successful and
exemplary men. one of America's great
est industrial bui Ideas. At the time- of j
bis death, one year ago last December
the. press of the State and the Nation j
paid just and liberal tribute to the life
and achievements of Mr. Cannon, who j
was your fellow townsman, your neigh
bor and your friend. It was conceived j
■ by tie* donor that a gift to the Stonewall
. .Tack.sou Training School of a building
to replace the one which was destroyed
1 by tire would be acceptable and appro
priate. Mrs. Cannon was the constant
and capable helper of her husband in
building his great industries throughout
the South, and she now wants tb help
this, great State, through the Stonewall
Jackson Training School. to give to these
I young men the opportunity to build char
acter for themselves and to become build
er- in sin h line of endeavor as they may
determine to follow.
■ A generous gift by a noble woman to
a great State for an exalted purpose.
“No title.- and more, appropriate act
j could have been conceived. May it serve
las an inspiration t«* others to emulate
'her example.
“You are building your life's struc
ture right now. The training which you
; are receiving here is not so much a
preparation for lift* a- it ultimately suc
* ceed at anything. It you make mistakes,
j you should be discouraged. If by inad
vertence you should put into the struc
ture a .rotten plank, or a faulty stone,
take out the defective material and re
place it with the best that can be had.
Longfellow. ’The one man in literature
who understood all of your problems and
you, perplexities, expressed this idea in
-hi- beactiful poem called 'The Builders.'
: All are architects of Fate,
j .Working in these walls of Time;
j Some with massive deeds and great.
|. Some with ornaments of rhyme.
Nothing useless, is. or low:
Each tiling in it- place .is best ;
And what s»*ems~ but idle show
Strengthens and supports the rest.
• For the structure that we raise.
Time is with materials tilled ;
. i Mir todays and yesterdays
Are the blocks with which we build.
Truly shape and rashioA these:
1 Leave no yawning gaps between;
iTliink not. because no man sees.
Such things will remain unseen.
Iu the elder days of Art. -»
Builders wrought with greatest care
| Each minute and aiuseen part;
For the g«*ds see everywhere.
Let ii- do our work a- well.
Both the unseen and the seen :
Make the house where gods may dwell.
Beautiful, entire, and clean.
ELe our lives are incomplete.
Standing in the walls of Time,
Broken stairways, where the feet
Stumble, as they -eck to climb.
Build today, then, strong and sure.
"With a firm and ample, base;
And ascending and secure
Shall tomorrow find its place.
Thus alone can wo attain
To those turrets, where the eye
Sees the world a> one vast plain.
And one boundless reach of sky.

"The silent but powerful influence of
■ a well designed and beautifully propor
! tinned building, such as this, can hardly
jbe estimated or appreefated. It is
'plain, simple. * straight, staunch, strong
solid as a Stonewall, with iu> defective
material. No sham, no weak spots, gen
uine through and through. Choose it a
J model for your own life and in after
years it will recall to your minds this
occasion, and your hearts will swell
witii gratitude to the good woman who so
generously gave this building to >tlie
State, as a memorial to one of the great
est builders of bis time. You will be
inspired by his example. You will re
member that he started life as an errand
boy and by the application of industry,
honesty and intelligence he soon became
a clerk, flieii a merchant, then the head
.of a great mercantile establishment,
then a manufacturer on a small scale,
then on a large scale, then a builder of
a great city of spindles, then one of the
greatest powers in the textile world. The
example of his splendid life will urge
you on to do nobler and better things
each day. It will remind you that the
same door of opportunity is open to you
and that if you practice the same vir
tues as he you can in a measure attain
the same success. He is dead, yet when
you contemplate what he has accomplish
ed with no better opportunity than your
own you will say with Holmes:
\ "From his dead lips a clearer note is
home
Than ever Triton bh*w from wreathed
horn !
While on mine ear if rings.
Through the deep eaves of thought I hear
a voice that sings:
i *
Build thee more stately mansions. O my
soul.
As the swift seasons roll:
Leave thy low-vaulted past !
Let each new temple, nobler than the last
Shut thee fiotn heaven with a dome more
vast.
Till thou at length are free,
i Leaving thine outgrown shell by life's
I- unresting sea!”
i
"It becomes my peculiar pleasure, on
behalf of Mrs. James William Cannon,
to present to the State of North Caro
lina, through tiie chairman representing
the Board of Trustees, this administra
tion building which today we dedicate to
the advancement of the noble purposes
for which this humanitarian institution
was founded, the Building of Character,
the making of Good Citizens for the
State,"
The building was accepted for the
school by James P. Cook, chairman of
the board of trustees, and the man who
lias done more, perhaps, than any one
individual, or any agency for the school.
i Mr. Cook showed very deeply the appre
ciation he felt for the generous gift of
I Mrs. Cannon, and it was evident to ev
j cry one present that he spoke from the
| depths of his . heart when he made the
speech of acceptance.
. "Our cup of joy is today running over,”
he declared. “Your beautiful and gra
; cious words, Mr. Blair, representing our
noble benefactress, in presenting this
1 splendid building to our institution.
touches our very hearts. Speaking for
I the Board of Trustees, the officers and
the student body, I beg to express our
j most grateful thanks and profouudest
l~ . .
appreciation.
| “This institution was conceived thirty
years ago. yet it was not until 1!H)7
that the General Assembly gave it a
charter. It started with the small and
simple blessing of a ten-thousand dollar
'appropriation. Concord and Cabarrus
county contributed three hundred acres
of land. The State King's Daughters,
with the financial help of the Women's
Federated Clubs, contributed five thou
sand dollars to the building fund, and
several godly women secured from gen
erous people in the State the entire
equipment of the first two cottages, and
furnished the farm with vehicles and
! tools and stock.
j "Though lacking an enthusiastic sup
port and sympathy from the State. be
•cause it was an innovation in the life
'of the State which had not ye; come to
jfully realize it’s duty in tin's particular
cause, the growth, the developiilent and
i good name of the Jackson Training
• School were from the very beginning
Jtjvith the board a burning passion. It is
still a passion. On the 12th day of Jan-
I uary. IJHI9. nineteen years after it was
j conceived and the cause took lodgment
lin the hearts of our people, the school
threw open its doors, starting with .iust
omj pupil, who today is an upright man
and a credit to organized society. That
accomplishment alone is worth, all that
it cost, for have we not heard of the
great rejoicing over the one found who
had gone astray, for it is not the will of
the Father that one of these little ones
should perish?
"Sixteen years ago this property was
a worn-out cotton farm, corrugate i witii
a series of impassible gullies. The build
ings « onsisted df a wrecked house and a
dilapidated barn and a well gone dry.
Behold it today! It represents \ value
cf over a million dollars, the majority of
which is an expression of the great
heart of North Carolinians, without a
cent, of cost to the institutio'n or to the
State. It. is no longer an innovation. It
has so well functioned that it has won
the confidence of the entire state and is
cited by other States a- a marvel of
success. It is an accomplished fact, and
not an experiment. This, however, is
the material side, the other side—t In
side that answers the question 'Am 1
my brother's keeper?'—is a record of
achievements. As a witness of this, hun
dreds and hundreds of dropped stitches
of a vanished hand, whom home life, tin
schools, society, and even the common
law confessed their inability to manage
properly, have been restored to' their
rightful places in society as. assets and
not as menaces. These be our jewels in
which we rightfully rejoice.
"But we have met today for another
purpose. We have come together to
modestly and fittingly take note of the
greatest benefaction in the history of
the institution, tine year and three days
ago our Administration building was re
duced to ashes. Tin* angry flames wiped
out the interior, nothing larger,
than my finger, destroying our business
offices and the home of the devoted wool
len —and they are 100 per cent, mission
aries— who aid in the conduct of lhe
school. It was a crisis. Faint we were
at the harrowing spectacle, but not with
out hope. No money, and tin* building
an imperative necessity. Right here,
my friends, permit me to give, public tes
timony to our abiding faith and belief
in the efficacy of prayer.
"Before the heat of that disastrous fire
had subsided, a fine hope bade us be
strong and brave under our affliction.
Not many hours had passed before the
restoration of tin* building, larger and
better adapted to the purpose for which
it is intended, was assured. One of tin*
State's noble women, touched by the
catastrophe and sympathizing deeply
with the work of tin* institution com
manded us to go forward and sin* would
bear the cost. That splendid and hand
some building yonder—a joy to us aR. —is
the expression of tin* interest and love of
Mrs. James \Y. Gannon, whose prompt
and beautiful generosity and goodness
blotted out the sling and injury of our
misfortune.
"It is an agency in our hands for a
greater service—it is more than that. It
is a fitting memorial to the memory of
me of the State's greatest constructive
leaders and builders. James William Gan
non. No man in all tin* history pf North
Carolina or in the South ever surpass
ed him in tin* possession of an unerring
vision: no man ever surpassed him in
analyzing the potentialities of the pres
ent and measuring the possibilities of
the future. In these he was a conspic
uous master. His power tp read and
measure, character and capacity and un
derstand human nature was a marvel.
He picked out scores and scores of men
here and there, in whom he unerringly
saw the ability to execute the delicate
details of a great undertaking, which he
had whipped into shape in his remarka
ble mind. While building enormous man
ufacturing enterprises and being an out
standing lea del* in putting North Caro
lina on the industrial map. he discovered
line subjects and built them into strong
and outstanding men in the business and
commercial world: and the thousands to
whom the carried tin* opportunities of a
broader and rider life attest the might
and power of the great intellect that in
augurated and carried to a successful
conclusion huiulreds of developments.
This memorial.’ therefore, is in perfect
harmony with tlie task that -belongs to
us. which seeks out the overprivileged
and the under privileged amongst our
youth, and like this great builder in an
other field of activities, gives to each of
them, having wiped the slate clean, tin*
chance to burgeon out the good that is
in them.
“Speaking for the Board of Trustees
and the officers of the Jackson Training
School, we accept this splendid gift of
Mrs. Cannon with profouudest thanks and
gratitude; and we are proud tq have it
as a memorial of her distinguished hus
band —the"departed and she who is spar
ed to us, in life were typical of the
very finest* examples of devoted compan
ionship I ever knew—for it will prove
an incentive to the youngsters now with
us and those to follow to strive for bet
ter and more substantial things. This,
my friends, is an inspiring business—it
is no small matter to throw out the
life line and pull to safety a drowning
and perishing soul.
“Askupwledgiug, as we do in the con
duct of this institution. the eternal
truths in the Book of all books as the
only safe guide to proper living, and t
•onsciou* of tlie power and goodness of ‘
he giu*at God. who feeds and protects
us. aim without disrespect to any consti
tution. or doing violence to the feelings •
of any of our pupils, we would appeal
to the King of kings to bless this fine gift
to our service and to His glory. • *
"The Rev. Mr. Rowan will please lead
THE CONCORD TIMES
ft
us in this petition to' the throne of mer
cy."
The dedicatory prayer* was then de
livered by Mr. Rowan, pastor of the
i First Presbyterian Church of this city.
[ Hon. Clyde Hoey. of Shelby, deliv
j cred the principal address. He spoke in
the absence of Governor Cameron Morri
son. who wired from New York that on
account of important State business he
was unable to be present.
Mr. Hoey. one of the most gifted
speakers in thelßtnte, and always ixjpu
lar with Concord audiences, spoke most
interestingly and most appealingly for
greater State and individual aid for such
institutions as the Jackson Training
School, which he characterized iu his
opinion as “the greatest of State insti
tutions." Mr. Hoey was introduced by
Mr. I). B. Coltraiie, treasurer of the
school, who had been presented by Supt.
Roger as the man who "keeps money for
the school at all times."
Mr. Hoey declared that a State should
have a threefold life —physical, intel
lectual and spiritual, or humanitarian.
North Carolina has made great and
marvelous strides in development each of
these necessary characteristics, lie as
serted. but in the latter especially, the
State has not done all that she can or
should do.
"\Ve rank fourth agriculturally in the
I'nited States." he assorted, "and opr in
dustrial life is astounding the rest of
the world. Mr. Blair just informed me
that this State will pay $140.000.000.in
revenues to the Federal government this
year. That is more than nine other
Southern States combined will pay. \Ye
have built larger, greater and better col
leges and schools, and we are developing
the intellectual life its well as the phy
sical.
“But a State is like a man. If a
man has riches and does not use them in
service to humanity he is a poor man. It
is the fame witii a State. There is a
limit to physical and intellectual devel
op incut. but the spiritual development
lias no limit. The greatest tost to civ
ilization is the capacity of a State to
minister to the needs of its people. We
have done well by the Cripples, the <jeaf.
the dump, tin* feeble-minded, the unfor
tunate —but we have not done enough.
“Os all the great institutions in tin*
State none is greater than this. I sa
lute you. young men. anil tell you we
have faith in you. There is no greater
task than saving boys and giving them
a chance. We raise good crops and
manufacture fine goods, but our greatest
work is producing boys. Boys are tin*
only things men ever grew from.!'
JThe greatest men in history. Mr.
Hoey pointed out, are'those who have
rendered service. He showed that in
tin* Hall of Faun* in Washington, where
hang pictures of two men from each
state, there is not a man pictured there
who did not render great service to hu
manity. "Men who merely made money
-do not have their pictures there. The
men chosen from each of the 4<S states
were men who worked not for tliem
sevles wholly, but met) who strived for
humanity.”
There is great wealth in North Caro
lina. Mr. Hoey declared again, and it
should be spent for institutions that will
render great aid to society. "We-do
not admire the man who hordes hi*
money. He is sooti forgotten after he
dies. It is the same with a State.
Wealth* is worth nothing to a State un
less it can be used to help person who
need help. It should be given in great
er quantities to such institutions as this
—institutions which deal directly with
life.”
To every boy who enters the Jackson
Training School. Mr. Hoey pointed out,
an opportunity is given to get away from
the past and build for the future. “Each
boy as be enters the school is forgiven.
He has the opportunity to grow into a
useful citizep, an asset to society. The
fact that UO per cent, of the "boys from
this school have made good is proof
enough to the worth of the institution,
and is proof enough, also that this school,
which deals with life, should be given
more financial support by the State and
by wealthy individuals.”
The address of Mr. Hoey was foll owed
by the singing of another song by tne
school students, after which the service
was concluded at tin* memorial building,
where the memorial tablet was unveiled
by James William Cannon*, son of Mr.
and Mrs. J. Ross Cannon, of York.. S.
and William Coltraiie Cannon, son
of Mr. and Mrs. C. A. Cannon, of this
city. The benediction was pronounced
by Rev. T. W. Smith.
The tablet has inscribed on it :
Erected in Memory
of
James William Cannon
By His Wife
To aid the aid the Jackson Training
School in its high purpose and service
in the giving of a chance to the boys cf
the State who need its cares and direc
tion.
The memorial building is three stories
in heighth, counting the large basement,
which houses flu* kitchens and din’Mg
rooms.
The structure is built completely of
brick, \vith jyrge white columns adding
‘o the beauty of the front. At
a pergola adds to the appearance of tie*
building.
There are thirty-one bed rooms, in ad
dition to the administrative offices.- ktch
ens and dining rooms in the building.
In each room there is hot and cold water,
and there are two baths on each of the
second and third floors. The bed
rooms will be used by the house mothers,
family of assistant superintendent, lady
instructors and clerks. Three of the
larger rooms on the ground floor will be
used a* administrative offices.
Over the mantel iu the left living room
on the ground floor there hangs a hand
some and strinkingly true portrait of the
man in whose memory the building was?
erected.
On :1m ground floor there are two
large kitchens, two (lining rooms and
a ‘ number of closets. The building is
eonipped with steam heat.
Every piece of furniture, which tones
in perfectly withHthe finishings in each
room, way a gift from six children of
Mrs. Cannon. They are Mrs. C. E.
Lambeth. Mrs. C. G. Hill. Mrs. Julian
S. Carr. Mrs. Blair. C. A. Cannon and
J. Ross Cannon.
Before the formal exercises began ti>e

Prof. Webb Pleased With Manner in
Which Schools of City Began Their
Work Monday Morning.
I’rof. A. S. Webb, superintendent of
the Concord public schools, this morning
expressed delight with t-he manner in
which the I!i2M-24 school term b gan
Monday morning. Everything in the
schools moved off smoothly on the op- j
eing day. Prof. Webb stated, with the
largest enrollment in the history of the
schools recorded. I
The greatest congestion at present-is!
at Central School. Prof. Webb stated. |
Some of the rooms there are badly •
crowded, and in the primary building
there are not enough rooms for each i
teacher to have one.
For this reason. Prof. Webb stated. '
it will be necessary for one primary
teacher to conduct her class in the after
noon. For the first two weeks
Clara. Harris will teach in the afternoon,
and after that other first grade teachers
will alternate with her.
When the high school building is coin-'
pleted the congestion in the schools will
be relieved, Prof. Webb stated. It is
hoped that the building will be com
pleted some time in November.
