Muzrey's history: as a result of the
organized and' persistent effort of the
Dodson-Ramsuer chapter of ' the
Daughter! of the Confederacy, will be
eliminated at once from tne list of
text books used by the Concord High
School. The announcement followed
a public meeting of the Chapter at
the Y..' M. C. A. Wednesday afternoon..
7 Mrs. W. D. Pembertop, presided and
presented Mrs. L. D. Coltrcne, who
stated the obnect of the meeting: Mrs.
Coltrane briefly outlined me nistory
of the effort made to eliminate th?
book, declaring that, as a history it
has fc'ien found ImWiJrate, Jbiaseil
and untrue, particularly In presenting
the history of the South In the
affairs of the- nation, bue tuuu called
for a report from a committee of tbe
chapter thnt had made an exhaustive'
study of .the book and matters show
ed, by elting page after page, the
turth of iMrs. Coltrane's allegations.
Mrs. J., F. Reed, for a song time
connected ' with tlrs facully of the ,
city v schools, probably jbrougnt the!
most effective indictment against
iju ua&cj waaaA t" " - -
dence. She traced the history of the
nation through its page uaa suoweq
that scant reference was made to
events In the south that, with tnun as
a basis, should stand out In uiidylhg
glory. She aroused a wave or resent
ment against the author by rending
his referenece to the soldiers oi the
confederacy as traRors.
Representatives from various elub
and other organizations were present
and voiced their disapproval ar.rt the
disapproval of the organlzauivs mey
represented- of the book. Prof. A. 8.
Webb, superintendent of Schools, was,
unable to be present being in iU.ei;0i
at the Teachers' Convention, and Mrs.
Rnsa. representing the faculty oi the
school, brought a round of applause
by announcing that after t ctnehll
consideration of the subject the fa
culty decided to drop the boon ami
adopt a new history. .
Follpwlng this announcement, Mrs.
Minis stated that the Dodson-Bam-
uer chapter of the Daughters of the
Confederacy would purcnase msione
for any member of the eleventh grade
who was unable to purchase a hook
to replace the Muzzey history1.
