Lenoir, Dec. 15. Prof. Herndon
Goforth, who until recently was a
supervisor of schools in the Philip
pine Islands, delivered n most inter
esting address to the teachers, pu
pils and a number of visitors at the
traded school Friday afternoon at
2:30 o'clock. Mr. Goforth '8 thor
oughly conversant with educational
conditions in our insular possessions
and he relates these in such a way
that engages the attention of all. Es
pecially waa his exhiibtion of pic
tures and the handwork produced in
the manual and domestic department
of the schools attractive and instruc
tive. The Filipinos have an uniform 10
months' school, running from the lasl
of June till April and the -system of
schools is considered the best in the
Far East. China and the other coun
' tries are now adopting many of the
methods' used. There are 9,000 ua
tive teachers engaged in the wot k
under 250 supervisors. The two
things that are stressed most are the
practical training and athletics. The
students on graduation command the
very highest salaries from the start
in any kind of mechanical work and
everybody on the islands engages in
the sports from the Governor Gener
al down to the humblest pnpiU.
"The school houses are far super
ior to those in our own State," says
Professor Goforth. Textbooks are the
most practical, being written espe
cially for the schools They have the
free textbook system similar to the
Lenoir public schools.
