March, president of the union for
th Carolina, was the most notable

? the afternoon session the open
r raver was offered by Mrs. Ellen
I ayor of Greensboro, and, as stated
3, the principal feature of the ses
was the "president's report.
re Were also during the afternoon
:n reports of state superintend-
of departments, as follows
the national at the first were edu
cate, agitate, organize and 'their con
vincing power has been proclaimed un
ceasingly, with marvelous results,
through every state and territory dur
ing the thirty years of the life of the
organization. 1
"North Carolina stepped into line
by the courage and purpose of a few
brave ones calling a convention of.
Christian women from over; the state
in 1S83, and were organized for work by
Miss Frances E. Willard, who was in
vited for the occasion. At once the
work f organization began, and dur
ing these twenty-three years, local un
ions have been formed in many towns I
nnd cities of the state. , . j
"The departments" of work adopted by
the state W. C. IT. XL are as follows:
"Organization, evarjf-listlc, scientific
temperance instruction, temperance
literature, press work, anti-narcotics,
medal contest, Sunday school work,
mercy,; non-alcoholic dedication, ; fair
and open-air metino, flower mtssion,
purity in literature and art and legis
lation and petition, peace and arbitra
tion, prison work, unfermented wine,
Sabbath observance, systematic giving,
mother's meetings and purity.
"The groupings of the . sub-depart
ments as arranged in our state report
under the five general heads, are:
Bible in the Schools
"The efforts made, in many of the
states to have the reading of tne
Bible discontinued 'in the public
schools is an unmistakable bugle note
of warning. We will emphasize this
fact by quoting from the report cf
Miss Elizabeth W. Greenwood, super
intendent, of evangelistic work in the
national W. C. T. IT., give last year
at the convention in Philadelphia. She
saidn part: 'Far more important than
questions of tariff, or even of capital
and labor, is the question whether re
ligion and morality shall be included
in the system which the state provides
for its children. This is a question
which touches the very heart of the
nation's life.'
"When the public school was firs
established, and for 150 years after,
definite religious Instruction was an
important part of its curriculum. To
day special religious teaching is pi-ac-tlcallv
banished from the public
schools of the country. .In a few of
the states the reading of the Bible is
still authorized: In some, permitted it
no one objects: in others, positively
prohibited by statute.
"Religious and moral teaching are
essential to character. Any system-1
enontinn which does not inculcate
sound morality is defective and danger
oys to the state. The culture of the
conscience is far more essential to
manhood and citizenship than the cul
ture of. the intellect,
"But .there are other lines of work
that nress their claims, chief of which,
we believe, is scientific temperance in
struction in the public schools. Twen
tv-six vears asro the idea of ingrafting
into text books onty physiology and
hygiene, scientific truths that would
make pupils in the schools intelligent
aa.tn th( nntnre and effects of of
alcohol and other narcotics, was an
insniratirm to Mrs. Mary H. Hunt
who was appointed" "national superin
tendent and very soon scientific tern
perance education in. the public schools
became an organized part of the work
of the Woman's Christian Temperance
Union. During, these years the idea
has been embodied in the laws of 11
states and territories, also the Distric
of Columbia. -Now twenty-two mil
lions of children' of school age are un
der these laws.
"It was a herculean undertaking, but
Mrs. Hunt, with the co-operation of
i ah advisory boai'd, composed of men
eminent in their professions of medi
cine, and the ministry, and her co
Avorkers in the W. C. T. U. proved
herself equal to the task of dispellin
i ignorance and prejudice, meeting argu
ment with reason, securing evidence
from the' laboratories of the world
that, refuted Prof. Atwater's tneoO'

A Lest Opportunity
What an opportunity it was for the
state superintendent of public instruc
tion and other leading educators at the
State Teachers' Assembly last June tn
Greensboro to have emphasized the ab
solute importance and justice to tne
children that every teacher, prepare
himself or herself by careful study of
the subject in its various divisions m
physiology and hygiene prepared wun
special reference to the nature and ef
fects rf alcohol and other narcotics and
faithfullv teach the same' to the pupils
r.or thPir instruction. It was a dis
appointment truly to learn the suDjecx
was not spoken upon nor discussed in
anv way.
"If North Carolina wants good citi
zens she must educate her children for
the duties of good citizenship. Tem
perance laws and other laws for the
promotion of good morals will be in
effective unless the people are edu
cated so as to realize and appreciate
the wisdom and justice of their enact
ment.
"North Carolina's law providing for
the teaching of scientific temperance m
the DUblic schools is excellent if it were
properly enforced. Can there be any
good reason why there should not be
the most approved text-books provided
and teachers rectuired to obey the law
to the letter? They would be better
for it, and the children developed into
vastly better men a-nd women.
Praise for Aycock and Glenn
"The TjeoDle of North Carolina should
forever honor the name of ex-Governor
Aycock for his persistent efforts to
promote the general interests of edu
cation, and we are impressed that equal
honor can be conferred upon our pres
ent governor, Hon. Robert B. Glenn.
"We were gratified that the last leg
islature took advanced ground on the
temperance question. And we shall
hope at the next session the subject of
'Purity, in Literature and Art will
have the due consideration it so justly
deserves. ' '

Hon. Morgan G. Bulkeley, president, Aetna Life Insurance Company, Harti
ford: ; .
Dear Sir: You will find enplosed herewith a copy of the report of the ex
amination of .your company that was recently made by this department In
compliance'with the law providing for such examinations. The work began
on the 19th day of April and ended October 24th, 1904. The result of the ex
amiantlon is very gratifying to the department and fully confirms the sta-t.
ment of the company as to Its financial condition. The figures show the sur
plus of the company as the result of this 'examination to be $S,047,248.fi
more than was claimed in the statement filed with thi department. The
larger surplus shown by the department's figures arises mainly from th
fact that you have charged yourselves with a special reserve Jlabillty of
more than $2,000,000 above th'at required by the statutes. The investigation
makes It quite apparerit that the company is 'eading fairly with the policy
holders and complying with all' the requirements of the law. ;
. Respectfully yours, j
