jsb ' i " - -. . : 7 f VOL. XVTII NO. 133 SAL.I AY EVENING JUJSE 7, 1905 TWO CENTS CLOSING EXERCISES J OF GRADED SCHOOL Address by Dr. Mclver of Greensboro An Immense Audience Present--- Essays of Classes-Diplomas Delivered Qtlier Interest ing fxercises Last night Closed the commence- ment of Salisbury's graded schools. There were fourteen full graduates who received their diplomas, and from all we learn they all expect to pursue their studies at some higher Institution. , i The closing exercises 6f this school, at this time, makes an epoch m the lire ana long nistory 01 mis . pity. . The dedication of this magnificent house which has cost nearly $25000 and will cost that before everything rf is fully complete, is tne Dest tning wnicn nas nappenea in ims city witn-; in the last half century. The one V thousand boys and girls whose names appear on me ron dooks, are oui me earnest of what Is to be In the city, in the years to come. As w?.s so aptly and truthfully said by Dr. Mclver: "It is not( enough to say; these are Salisbury s children, the fact is, they are Salisbury itself." Men who have had observation, will never fail to note the personnel, the inborn dignity and refinement of one of these old town audiences. They not only observe it:in the grown up people, but In the faces andntellects; of the children as well. ! After 'the reading by certain mem- bers of the class, the essays prepared t - for the occasion, Dr. Chas. D. Mclver, the speaker for the occasion, was for- . merly introduced by the audience by j V Superintendent ' Griffin. v -r-r. , ne was in i his best frame and was evidently glad of an opportunity to speak, all men are who can speak, and who have a message for their audience. Now that Dr. J. L. M. Curry Is dead, Tr. Mclver is the meet effectual plat form speaker upon the general topicsl of education, in the entire South. He: i,,; .av.r nit tfn nTOr y.m'n' ' ) born a country boy, and this is one great source of -his power. He delivers his message from the standpoint of common, sense, and in terms that catches and holds the average man. He puts his hearers' mov0i them anxious to hear and see the j truth a rare accomplishment in any. speaker. The speaker's theme was the i i elements of cost, which enter into the getting of an education. But he runs all the time with a full head of steam and we dare say, the speaker himself, could not, if he were to try, repeat his speech tonight, as he spoke it to the audience last night. He said an i education represents about 5,000 in money, but that this was the most in--considerate item in the account. j The energy, the labor, and life blood of the man or the woman, who, day after day: week after week and year after year, gave the" boys and girls of their classes a new birth Into the realm of thought and of charac ter and who inspired their pupils with real desiresfor a higher j and a "better life, were far more costly and valua ble, said the speaker, than the mon ey which was- paid out. j The writer never felt so keenly be fore how inadequate, and how insuffi cient was the compensation which this high and valuable service on" the part of the teacher commanded. We never realized so sensibly before that the man who has charge of our pen itentiary convicts got more for his : services by nearly half, than the man who Is at the head of our State, school system. The State Treasurer gets twice as much for keeping Hhe State's money, as the superintendent of education does for superintending the schools of our State, which In the last analysis, are - the basis of the State's wealth and its credit. Its a shame that such" Is the case, even If our own State must plead guilty. The State pays its convicts as much to work on its public roads, as the aver age woman gets for teaching children in the public schools. The convicts may not get too much but tertain it is that the school teach er does not get enough . . Tpe third and most essential ele inert in the cost of education, said Dr; Mclver is, the drudgery, the sacrifices and! i the persistent effort which th student must put out in order to be educated. Fbr, said he, education is" neither boukht nor sold, neither can it be givdn to anybody. It can only be at tainted through the desire ant by the efforts of the recipient. At this poin in tis address v Dr. Mclver showed by the most convincing argument that the inspiration must come to the stu Jgnt to be educated largely through his teacher, and this gave I him his opportunity to define what of man or woman a teacher sort ""T w "' " io optam mem upon tne meager -pay they! ; receive. The address from first to last was mosti admirably suited to the occa sion.l and rave ereat satisfaction tn i,. i , n , ., , . , the pupils and friends of the school-.. i , - . ? At the close of ' the address, the Su perintendent asked that Mr. Craig a former teacher In the schnrl wnnTrf , . r ,. , . deliver the diplomas to the members Q Senior class. This he did, in - , ef, but most happy manner, and this closed the exercises of this moat deligLtful - d insmrinjr occasion. 7 N THE DIMOND.
