Nothing eK "ates a community in the estimation of the. world higher than doe its care Tor tbe young people witnin 11 gates: and no community in the State, of the size of ours, can show better schools than we can. A report called forth by a recent in quiry in The Kkek Press shows that the schools white and colored are .-now upon a substantial basis. Their career has not been smooth, but care' 7ul management has placed them where "they now are. The report also shows that 675 white children and 375 colored children have been enrolled in the respective schools 'The members of the teach in? force 'come In for their share of praise for the work that has been done. The people of Kinston are grateful "to the old board for services rendered without compensation save that com ing from a sense of public service faithfully performed: and they con ildently look forward to a wise, care ful, and liberal management of their schools by the new board. OUR GRADED SCHOOL. continued from first pa6hl) PEOPLE WANT SUITABLE ACCOMMODATION. The eyes of a great many people are on Kinston. They want to know what -we are going to do about public im provements. Tbey want to know whether or not our people are going to make the place an attractive field for, loca tion or not The man of family would like to lnow whether or not Kinston will offer inducements for him to come here -and live with us, and put bis children Unto one of our excellent schools. There are at least two business en terprises that tire waiting to see what ICinston ia going to offer in the way of Inducements before coming here to . Jocate. If we refuse to vote bonds for our jmuch needed improvements, we will taadly cripple the town's growth and prosperity; we will give it a blow from which It may never rise to Its wanted position. -:- ,.' ." ''"' Him THE SUNDAY SCHOOL CONVEN e llargement of the old building above referred to, during tbe last year when the supreme , court bad decided that Ones and penalties must be paid Into the general school fund, the board of aldermen of the town called upon tbe board of trustees to assist in the pay ment of such fines and penalties, alleg ing at the time as a reason for so do ing that the town did not have the money t meet the demand made upon it at the time. To this request of tbe town the board of trustees responded by the payment of 1300. This is only referred to for tbe purpose of directing attention to such items of expenditure as have not crone to the maintenance of the schools. The rate of taxation (or school purposes could have been and would have been reduced this year, but for inability to use the Lor tin Bank money, which has not yet be come available, and for the unexpected - , t . 1 ' J .1 .. . J ayuieui vi we emu hujuuiii ui cjw. 'he rate of taxation for schools may be materially reduced hereafter by the board of trustees, provided the income from taxes can be confined to the ex penses incident to the maintenance of the schools. This can be done even under the present assessment of prop erty. But when the new assessment shall hare been made in June, with the remarkable growth of our munici pality during the past four years to be addt'd thereto, and with the striking and manifest enhancement in value of much of our real property, on a fair and just basis to all parties and all interests, the atrcrreifate value of the property liable to taxation will most surely be so greatly increased as to justify a substantial reduction of the rate of taxation on property ana polls . i r.v . . : i ior itcnuui puruuw. liiutji ittir nuu equitable assessment of property will be made in June, one in Keeping with the sentiment ot our people, and one that will place Kinston in its rightful position amoufir the cities of the State in so much as its material wealth and prosperity are concerned, I have no reason to doubt. I favor a fair, just and equitable assessment, one made in compliance witn tne spirit or the law. I think we shall have it, and then, under present conditions, school taxes should be greatly lessened. Now in reference to the school build ing and building fund. Out of the $20,000, borrowed by a vote of the people for the erection of the school buildings, there has been paid: that the community should not expect or be willing to receive them without compensation.. This I have alwav refused. The part that I have taken in tbe establishment and building up of our splendid systenoi svnoois, and in their conduct since establishment, was not prompted by the desire for gain or personal reward, out witn me earnest nope that I might assist in educating the children of all the people within our gates, and thereby help in promo ting the prosperity ana future great ness of this community, and- their un selfish service warrants me in making ine same assertion reiauve to my as sociates on the board and co-Taborers in this work. i , ; I did not desire to remain member or tne ooara oi trustees, i snouid, of course, have appreciated some appear ance or recognition oy tne board of aldermen of an attempt to faithfully rrform my duties. I was willing, as have always been, to continue to serve the community in that capacity if necessary to the continued success of the school. I shall be only toy triad to have been relieved of its burden, if oaly the schools shall be benefitted thereby. I trust that such may be the case, our successor snail nave my support ana sympatny in tneirenueav ors to that end. Six hundred and seventy-five white children and three hundred and seventy-five colored chil dren have been enrolled during the present school year. This has been the school's best year. The members of the faculty have all been faithful and have done conscientious and efficient work. I am glad of this opportunity to pay them this meed of well-earned public recognition of satisfactory per romance of duty. The future of the school is bright, and is full of promise of blessings to this community. Let us all stand by the schools and hold up the hands of those to whom has been committed the important trust of conducting them, and let us hope that they may wisely administer it. - v;' Yours very truly, . wAl N.
