NORTH CAROLINA ILLITERACY Why Popular Education Has Failed in This State. - i ' .- - :; BY SUPT. LOGAN D HO WEIL Of Raleigh, Before the University Sum Cost f Education, mr school The . Kte. The following is a brief synopsis of a paper read before the Univer 8H.J aammer achool by Superin tendent Logan D. Howell, of Ral eigh, on Why Popnlar Education Has tailed in North Carolina:" In considering the results ol popnlar education in North Caro lina, we must compare this State with all others in the Union. One of the results! of education is wealth. Judged by this standard education in North Carolina has lamentably failed. For with th exceptions of South ; Carolina and MS8iMiinni here is less wealth rtAr capita in North Carolina than any where else in the Union. But South . Carolina anrl Mi'asicoir.n; ha?e over; half 'their nonnlatinn black. 'North Carolina onp..thiri ouly.. . t, , . . - But the first object of education is to remove illiteracy. Judged by this standard our popular educa tion has been an ignomiuious fail ure. In fact there is no nnnnlur education here. For the neonio are not educated. More than a third of'those over ten years of age cannot read or write. Our con dition is worse than that of any other State or territory except six, namely : Louisiana, South Caro lina, iew Mexico, Alabama, Mis sissippi and Georgia. Bat all these States except NewTMexico nave a larger per ceut. of neero population than North Carolina. Virginia aud Florida also have larger per cent, of negro popula tion man JNortn Carolina, vet their illiteracy is less than purs. - lbese facts are unpleasant to admit, but the most humiliating is ioi8, tuac our state was nearer be ing the most illiterate in 1890 than it had been in 1870. It is true the whole amount of illiteracy was somewhat reduced. But we have been more laggard than other Southern States. .Florida which has nearly half its poplation blaek nas gone by us. so that whereas in 1870 we ranked 1 8th in illiteracy. ia 1890 we ranked 7th. At this rate it is only a question ol time wben North Carolina, the other States having educated their chil dren, will be the! home of the most illiterate people in the American Union. Shall we let this come to pass I Already it is the home, of the most illiterate white pnple in the United States except ii the Terri tory oi New Mexico. Our State ranks worse in illiteracy when we compare the white people of the diffeient States than we count the negroes. This does not mean that the white people of North Carolina are more illiterate than the ne groes. It noes mean that the white people of North Carolina are the most ignorant of all the white people in the United States except New Mexico, and that the negroes of North Carolina have more edu cation thau the negroes of several other States, i About one white person out of every four in North Carolina cau- notread; to be exact, the illiter acy is twenty-three per cent. The enormity of this appears wben we consider other States. Massachu setts and Nebraska have. less than one per cent, of illiteracy among their native white population. There are seventeen States with less than two per cent. Counting the District of Columbia and ex cluding the Indian Territory and Alaska there are forty-nine States and Territories There are thirty- seven of these that have only half as much illiteracy among their na tive white population as North Carolina. In other words the white people of North Carolina are twice as illiterate as the white peo pie almost anywhere else in the Union, including the States of Marjland, Delaware, Missouri, Ari zona, Texas, Florida, Mississippi and West Virginia. We have more illiterate white persons than South Carolina and Georgia combined, more than Alabama and Missis sippi, more than Louisiana and Texas, whose combined white pop- hulatiou is twice as great as North Carolina's. Delaware, Maryland, District of Columbia, Virginia and Florida, together, fall short of North Carolina's number of white illiterates, but their Aggregate na tive white poplation is over twice as great. The cause of this large per cent. of illiteracy is seen when we com- Da're the school terms of other States with North Carolina. The report of the United States -Commissioner of education for 1894 and 1895, gives the average length of terms of the public scnoois ot tne United States, one hundred and fortv-one days, or oyer seven months. North Carolina's is the shortest term of all, sixty-three days. For twenty years we have been struggling in vain to teach four months in the year. All the other States except South Caro lina, Alabama and Oklahoma, have more than a four months' term. The school terms in New Jersey, Bhode Island, Massachusetts, Maryland. District of Columbia and Connecticut are three times as loner as ours. There are tbitteen States that have an eight months' term or longer, twenty-four States that have a seven months' term or longer, thirty-one States that have a six months' term or longer, this includes Virginia, Arkansas ana Kentucky; there are forty-one RtatMH fall but eizht) that have five mouths' term or longer; this in eludes Georgia, Louisiana, Missis - i ri w til i i m i m. w - i, a iiib rits v , i i f-w w - m an.

The average for the United States is 818.98 a TPar for each child. We spend upon each child OBly $3.40 a year. This is less-than other States, except South Carolina, which spends $3 29. The wealth of Massachusetts is five times as great as North Carolina's, but Massachusetts snendf for poh child at school about ten times as much as we, $33.98. Seven South ern States spend for the education of their children twice as much as we do : New Mexico, Florida, Louisiana, -j Oklahoma, Virginia, Texas and Arkansas. i ! '- j ' m Our State tax is already one of tb largest, only six other States having a heavier one. But when we come to count the local taxe and the general tax North Caro lina drops to the lowest of all but six, - .j ... j j -.There are objections that ? local taxation may suit Maine, but it will not suit our condition as an agricultural people. We hear men saying that good schools cannot be maintained among a population so scattered as ours. Local taxa tion is not peculiar to the North or to cities. Kansas and Nebraska are great farming States and set tled only about half as thick as North Carolina.. Kansas has no State tax aud Nebraska only three-tenths of a cent, but by local taxes Kansas keeps its schools open six months in the year and Nebraska seven. Arkansas is not as densely settled as North Caro lina. Its tax rate for schools is two and a half times as great aa ours, and two thirds of it comes from local taxes. Arkansas' school term is nearly twice as long as ours. ! None of the following States are so thickly settled as North Caro lina and they raise all or nearly all their school funds by local taxes, and all have an average school term of from five to eight months : North Dakbta, South Dakota, Mon tana, Wyoming,' Wisconsin, Min nesota, Florida, and Louisiana. - Compared with other States south and west North Carolina is well populated. Scarcity of popu lation cannot excuse oar illiterate condition. ; " : Nor can we plead the negro as an excuse, i Seven States (South Carolina, Mississippi, Louisiana, Georgia, Florida, Virginia; Ala bama) have a larger share of ne gro population than North ' Caro lina, aud they all have a larger school term than ours, and all but Alabama nave a heavier school tax. Georgia has 300,000 j more negroes than North Carolina and a school term ten weeks longer. Virginia has 75,000 more 'negroes tnan .North Carolina and a school term twice as long aud a school tax nearly twice as great as ours. v Centuries ago people used to fear what they 1 called the pestilence. "Black Death." was the most terrible thicg in tne world to them. They feared it aa people now fear the Cholera and Yellow Fever. And yet there ia a thing that causes more misery and more deatna than any or these, it is so com mon that nine-tenths of all the sickness in the world is traceable to it. It is merely that simple, common thing, con stipation.

Jeney Lille of the Caofnl Klad-Bepre-j Mntativea of the Golden Family, With Pedigree, as ton, aa that of a Danghter J of the Revolution. A.heville CitUen, July 23rd. The importation of prize win ning dairy cattle from Jersey the little island so near France that ngland owns by George W. yanderbilt, brings to theBiltmore herd the possession or ideal ani mals that show points of surpass ing excellence, and fastens the in terest" of all the notable stock breeders of the country upon an other of the many sources of agri- cultural fancy and treasure to be found in Buncomb. . t .'These Jerseys left quarantine in KewToi-k, after thTecrmoiiths of detention-there, at 10 o'clock on Tuesday morning and arrived the estate on Wednesday evening at 6, a quick run that put Uie ar rivals through in good shape. At i Swannauoa tunnel their number was increased bv the arrival r a, baby calf, which Superintendent G. F. Weston says will doubtless go on the hetd book aa Swannn- noa." The infant occoniea a ran opposite its mother's stall where, nen not chasing, flies from it muzzle with both hind fppt. it sprawls and tumbles in best calf fashion.

La Chass Flirt, Uarrowgate 12th, Bluebelle, and three unnamed calves, one born in quarantine two months ago that shows the mak ing of a high scoring cow. i There are now. in over 3ofl (AVI composing the Biltmore herd, 130 uuimais in iuu mug ana 10U full bred calves. The youngest are kept in classes by feeding periods in the grass lots surrounding the dairy barn, and with sufficient age are sent to the outstanding pasture farms. : The cows are fed on the summer ration of from six to eight pounds of grain, with millet in the stalk given morning and nieht and the run of the pastures during the in tervals oi oarn teeaing. : Superintendent Weston speaks with pride of the growth oi the Biltmore dairy, and says its de velopment has expanded with the Asheville demand for high grade products. Purity is the prime essential tuac governs in tne dairy pro cesses, ana aosoiate cleanliness is attained by the constant super vision of Dairyman F. Meacham, an A. & M. graduate, and his ex perienced assistants in all depart ments of the business, who care fully inspect each detail, beginning with the food and drink supplied to the COWS, and cnntinnlncr through the varied manipulations until; me laoeiea. ootties or mile and cream and the nrintnof e-fddpn butter are sealed for delivery to customers. The bottles and othpr TPsnpla utilized in the dairy, after thor- ongn wasuing, are sterilized in iron chambers by the application of live steam, turned on for 30 minutes to prevent the germs of fermentation aud to render impos sible the spread of any germs of contagion. Pasteurizing the milk is accom plished in special tanks, provided with inner chambers into which the milk is poured and then con stantly stirred while steam in the outer cylindeis is maintained for half an hour. The albuminoids are in no way affected by this beat as they would be at a higher tem perature, nsed in sterilizing milk. This Drocess beeins at the dalrv each day at 4 o'clock, immediately succeeding tne atteinoon milking All the milk sent ont from the Biltmore dairv is thnn trpntprt The management meets the popu- iar requirement in aenvery by bot tling, largely, and each bottle is labeled with the estate guarantee of two days freshness. Tests made in the dairy have shown the milk to do sweec alter being put 10 days. Four hundred gallons of milk are THURSDAY. JULY 29, 1S97 nanlled daily in the dairy. Two De Laval separators spurt with crestn, and barrel churns of 75 poubd capacity, are required in the outter making. The machinery is pperated by power furnished from tfeadmill run by young bulls. AM system of dairy effort de scried has prevailed on the estate emte tne early rail or 1896. 2o stock is purchased at Bilt moje until after satisfactory tuber culra testing and when admittance to the herd has been gained the health of each individual is con served with scrupulous fidelity. Since the first of the year the resiifent veterinarian of the estate baa keen Dr. A. S. Wheeler, B.

Washington, July 26 Neither Bias Uanna nor Mr. McKlnley are erpreiy satisfied with the wort nf ttJrJ extra session of Congress inst clksed. The tariff bill nleiutPd tl ?m all right ; it more than repaid tt dr campaign obligations to the tri8ts, not to mention the $32.- 0u),000 made by the sugar trust ana its mends while the bill was pending. But their efforts to re-' pay their campaign obligations to toe canning interests were a fail ure. Mr. McKinley, in bis special mtssage sent to Congress only a feW hours before adjournment, ask ing for authority to appoint a cur rdicy commission, quoted the In dianapolis bankers' convention as though it had been the assembled financial wisdom of the world, but that didn't bring the legislation asked for. The house railroaded through in 60 minutes a bill grant ing Mr. McKinley the authority asked for, although nearly every prominent republican In that body is really opposed to a currency commission ; but the Senate was not so accommodating, and there is nothing in sight to indicate that H will be more obliging-next win ter. Senator Morgan handled the conference committee ; without gloves, in a speech made just be fore the vote was taken on the conference report on the tariff bill, foi) its abandonment of the tax on bonds and transfers of stock a tax that was approved by the finance committee and by a repnb litan caucus closing with this ex plicit language, which no republi can attempted to deny : "I charge that the abandonment occurred ni der command or the sugar trust." Senator Teller's arraignment of tbo republican tariff bill, now the lav of the land, was one of the bitterest pills the republicans have had to swallow in a long time. Mr. Teller, who is a protectionist; chiracterized this bill as vicious. umair, extravagant and unsatis factory, and as having been framed entirely in the interest of trusts anl syndicates. Mr. Teller also took occasion to criticise in the strongest language the gold stand ard policy of lorcing professors out of educational institutions be cause of their belief in the free coinage of silver. He denounced the forced resignation of President Andrews, of Brown University, as one of the most u shameful acts of abase" the world has seen, and said in ringing tones: Thank God that President Andrews was big enough to refuse to be stifled." Senator Turley, of Tennessee, cast nis nrst vote lor tne Tillman resolution to investigate the sugar scandal charges, which was de feated, and his second against the conference report on the trast made tariff bill, which was adopted. . IA pertinent question often ac complishes more than argument.
