Others have said in expl ana- nation, that the invitation waa ax tend ed b7 the students, s that, the faculty and trustees had nothing to do with the matter. : And another reason ad- vanced has been that the invitation, that of asking -for an address at the commencement exercises, waa the us- ual one extended to a former graduate, or a man who had a public following. Accepting the situation in its best Dhas3. everv excuse .offered seems fatuous, and to the ordinary person, it seems remarkable that any speaker should be invited to address the great gathering which must assemble at the State's University, for whom a single explanation or apology was necessary, Certainly the University must have among its graduates, men who need no apologist, men whooe address would mean everything their audience, for the reason that the speakers themselves ! TNE WONDERFUL WEST. tab. rino,' '0 New Bern, N. C, May 15. 1906. WEAKNESS IN MUNICIPAL OWNER SHIP. Theoreioally, there is so much in municipal ownership of public utilities, that the practical carrying out of its attractive features nppears simple, and of no serious moment, and for a muni cipality to take over and run water, lights, sewerage, and even transpor tation, appeals to tax payers, and the trade is made, without the first assur ance thnt the conduct of these proper ties will be along practical and business lines. It is the failure to assure the practi cal, that works the evil, for municipal ownership is a general ownership, and a general ownership results too easily into its being no special business of any citizen or tax payer, to look into or in quire after the conduct of the proper ties under control. This leaves the management to a few. who soon find that they have only themselves to ac count to, that people are too busy to demand accountings, and tax payeis accept any kind of report, just :sj there is the appearance of all being right, and light, water, sewerage, etc., are given. No personal business can be c onduct ed successfully, unless there be care ful management, yet tax payers wil bond and pledge themselves for hun dreds of thousands of dollars, and then lot a half dozen men have complete con trol and charge of the properties for which they, the tax payers, stand lia ble, and only tbe most meager account ings will be gratefully accepted, when if the matter was a personal business transaction, everything would receive the closest scrutiny. It is this indifference and neglect on the part of tax payers to take note of municipal affairs, which makes muni cipal ownership of public utilities a hazardous and expensive matter. The theory of municipal ownership, with its great saving to each tax payer, the extra servico given, and the great pro fits resulting, can all be placed in fig ures beforehand, but it is a failure, un less the tax payers shall give earnest and serious heed to the conduct of these public utilities, for unless this is done the tax payers are to wake up some day with broken down properties, and a big bond issue to make good, be cause no sinking fund has been pro vided against the day of reckoning. And it is not necessary to go far from home to make application of these . weaknesses in municipal ownership. f HE stood always for . the bent of North Carolina citizenship. The Journal has to say for its parts, that educational advance and progress is not worthy of a name of honor, if Marion Butler, stands as a sample of what it does for this State's young THE SERIOUSNESS OF LOST SCHOOL DAYS PRESENT STATUS OF MA RION BUTLER The announcement of the invitation to Mr. .Marion Butler to make an ad dress at th Tune commencement of the Univers v nt North Carolina, has provoked both public and private, com tnent, most f it of a tenor of surprise and chagrir nd even from those not personally interested, there has been expressed enuine surprise. That either surprise or disapproval has .been expressed, by press or indi vidua!, indicates that Mr. Butler must have some status different from the average university graduate, or any ' personage who may be deemed worthy of the honor of being invited to make - an address at a commencement of great university. For the most part the press of Nortj Carolina has been very quiet on this matter, of Mr. Butler s invitation, ' no question it being due to the respect f lt for the educational institution to which the ex-Senator has been invited The South Carolina press has been de ...i eidedly frank in its expressions on the - - subject, and its criticism bas been one of lurprise that such an invitation bas , been extended to even a graduate, with tuck t personal record made sine his leaving the university. .i Apologists for the University, and hay have had to come out, have said invitation had no 'political signl- The young child first attending school eannot of course recognize that tardi ness at school or a day'B absence from school, is a specially serious matter, or loss to the child which so disregards at tendance. At this season of the year, the teach er has much to contend with in keeping up the attendance of pupils, for almost everything serves as an excuse for a pupil's tardiness or absence for one day or several days. Those parents who will visit the graded school in this city, or those who will see that this season is particularly hard upon the teacher, who must use all means to sustain school in terest so tliat the pupil will not be lured away by outside attractions, and so lose time from school, and so suffer at the close of the school year, the result being a setback, or the necessity of go ing over again at thenext school term, the lessons neglected during this terra. In a recent lecture before the Wo man's Club in this city, by Mrs. Cotton, on the child's study department, the peaker made a most able presentation of the subject, and specially was the eceasity dwelt upon, the need of the parent's co-operation with the teach ers. There is much stress, rather over much, on the teacher's responsibility, as the person to successfully solve the Droblem of school attendance. Too much is expected of the teacher as the one atone to solve the child's mental, moral and physical needs, and solving these, to direct the child and success fully develop and produce the well bal anced man and woman. But to prove this success, the teach er must be given the child every school day, and the child must be on time, and in a mood which shall give the teacher a receptive pupil. How is the child to be on time, regular every, day at school, and in a thoroughly receptive mood, unless there be the home influ ence of the parent to give this daily im' petus to tho child, and so prepare it for the teacher ? It is the parent first, who must impress the child with the seri ousness of each day's value at school, that a day lost, is as it were, a bargain lost, which can never be found again. If the child should be early impressed with this idea, there will be no need of tbe push, the hurry, the excitement, which so often is to be found in homes every morning as children, and. parents struggle together, to get. tb children away to school. The child feeling the seriousness of the school day and is so impressed that it Jjeeda jno urging to get ready, but is daily found, featjy and in trim, and enh trouble of school attendance will vanish, and the teach ers work will be half done, as the child comes prepared and liking every school duty. It would be education with no compulsion of any kind, ... An Interesting Letter From a. B. Morri. a Former RMidint of Craven County. The friends and relatives in Vance boro and elsewhere of Mr. A. R.

Since my last letter we have moved 20 miles up the Vigor river, where it comes tnrougn a long, aeep canon. There is a hot sulphur spring near here in which the water is as hot as one can place his hand, and one hundred feet higher is a sulphur mine. This mine is j about a quarter of a mile from our home; pieces of sulphur from the mine average five pounds in weight. La Verkin is a pretty place to live in and is noted throughout this section on account of the sulphur spring. Peo ple from all over the country come to bathe in this spring, principally those affected with rheumatism but victims of other diseases find successful treatment in the waters here.
