projected for boys it was the aim of
our fathers to establish a school ' for
girls, and this place (Oxford) seems

Rev. J. J. James, ot Yaneeyville, in
the Biblical Recorder this weeks.;
quotes the above, and after remarking
that the State convention in 1S3S
adopted a report in favor of estab
lishing a Female' Seminary in Raleigh,
but the resolutions, like many others,
was still born and nothing more was
done, goes on to say :
The writer must beg the indulgence
of his readers for what may seem un
due reference to bis own efforts, as he
can give the facts in no other way.
After forming a somewhat extended
acquaintance in the State, he was
impressed vfTen visiting families of
mtjans at the disparity in the education
of the sons and that of the daughters ;
and hen he met with "a family where
the daughters were -well educated and
asked fo what school they had gone,

Female Institute h"ad been established
and was in successful operation,-, and
wishing as editor to sustain the f-ame
relation to both schools, he resigiud
as trustee at Oxford, after which he
knew nothing of its internal manage
ment, lioth institutions received at
his hands the friendship and a d which
he as editor could give. After a sucv
cessful run of some years he learned
that the Oxtord College was financial
ly so embarrassed that it would have
to be sold, which afterwards wadonc,
and Bro. J. H. Mills became the pur
chaser, and for sume time continued
the school. How long, the writer
does not now remember.
"S..ihm." Wake Forest, Davdson,
Trinity and Chapel Hill supplied edu;
cation- for the bos of the State, but
where were similar institutions for the
girls? The subject so weighed on
the writer's mind that he made it a
matti. r of conversation with the heads
of families and with his brethren of
the minis'rj', and a few years later he
