A Tardy Recognition of his Plarf In New Bern's History. Desertes c Lasting Monument No Thought of Self, Griffin Saw With ; Prophetic ' Tlsien. , . ' ., ' j: The following address wai delivcr(i by Superintendent of Count ' Schnuls S. M. Brinson, Thursday nl.l.'. :it H e Griffln school dedication a eulogy to the memory of the man ''who oaU- llshed the educational Interest" oi New Berm are enjoying to th- lull. The example set by this man Is - o' thy of emulation and his monument i not a useless-granite shaft but ri institution of untold benefit and pro moter of progress. . . Popular education or education or the masses, is not a new thing, not is industrial training a purely modern invention. in these later days, wa, are prone to claim for ourselves, the invention of all things which have proven the;i worth. For an instance we hear muc:. these days about "consolidation oi districts", and the thought is in the minds of many, that we of recen' years, have been the pioneers In thit worthy undertaking, while the fact ii that our fathers fifty years ago werr acting upon the same principle, w are following In consolidating dis tricts. The arguments they advanced th' are precisely the same we are ad vanclng 'today with such show anC demonstration as 6f a wonderful mol- em invention. So too with popular education an - particularly with practical or Indus trial training. The wisdom and foresight of out fathers was not lacking as soma wouH have us believe. . The old academy on the other sld of the campus gives Bllent testimony to the Interest felt by the early cltl zena of New Bern in the educatlot of all the people while the will r Moses Griffin shows that 'at that earl' date, September 13, 1807, the free edu cation of all the children and, as f?i as jposslble, their industrial tralnln was apon his heart and mind. There are those in our city toda; whose early mental training was re ceived in' The Griffin Free School anr- not a few whose hands were taugh useful trades through the provlslcr made in Moses Grlffln'a will. Somewhat tardy public jecognJtlor' ta now being given the wholesom work inaugurated by him, whose nanu his building , hears. . While public recognition of our ob ligation la somewhat belated. It it nevertheless sincere and the' board ot trustees ha accepted the trust in th' serious and solemn spirit becoming the acceptance of a sacred office. They have given to thts bulldln the name j'Grlffln Memorial Building esteeming It a fit- and proper thin-.-that this the last and best of "iroup of school buildings on this his toric ground, shall stand as an en suring monument to the well directed wal for, free education of him whos' name It beara and whose benefaction provided the larger part of the cos if Its erection, - ','' I think we have warrant for term ing Moses Griffin the "Pioneer In the field of Industrial training in this state" and expressions In bis will- written a, century ago .are not less pronounced in support of that char acter of training than are the writ inga and speeches of the modern ad' vocata of .Industrialism. .- He was the largest contributor tc the primary or rudimentary educa tion of our children in fact the pro moter and, financial support of one c the first distinctively free schools In our state. It being second In point of sge to the "Inoess Academy" of Wil mlngton and possibly one or two oth era. i. -. - ' .There la this further and Important fact to be remembered, that while our state did not establish a free school system until 1340, Moses Grlffln by will eatabllahed one for the town or New Bera In 1816, the date of hti death, anticipating by twenty tour years the wise and patriotic action of ) our law-makers. The first constitution of our state, the "Halifax Constitution", ot 1776 - says in section 41: "A school or schools shall be established by the legislature ror too convenient instruo- tlon of youths, with , such salaries to . the masters paid by the public as and many yeara after may enable them to instruct at low prices. ; " . Thlg constitution,! providing for pay schools, was In effect at the time of Griffin's death. , ' The will of Moses Grlffln lays bare the man, reveals the generous qual ity of his nature and his clear and vigorous mind.. ' What the Btate would not do for bis people, he himself did, and the state; a quarter of a century later, accepts his views and foljows his lead. " It cannot be .doubted; that, were he alive today, be would be gratified at the . use to which his money Is being put and .the widening flcl i r his ever active though silent minis try. , - . His- dream of a free school for all 'be children has been realized and let us hope that the practical training in which his heart was strongly en: listed, may soon be a reality as well Moseg Grlffln deserves a lasting mem orlal and we honot ourselves In do ing honor to his memory. He whose vision looks beyond the present anj can accurately take meae lire of the future,. Is the prophet whose forecast we accept and whose leadership we follow. The poineer in any line of hump.n ffort, if his achievements is of any worth to the race, niprits and receivef 'he homage of all who 'walk the wa his genius and foresight blazed. In the bestowal of our thanks wr have too long neglected those wtit nil at the quiet tasks of peace anr -.olve the practical problems of life. We pour out unstintedly our praise 'o him, who in more Spectacular man ner has wrought well on field of bat 'Ie or in the forutn of political de bate. - Martial music and the excited cla nor of a political throng have dullec our senses to the quiet movement; f those benefactors of our- racr whose discriminating judgment ant" wise forethought have added mater nlly to the sum of human achieve ment. In these latter days we are less emc tlonal but not less appreciative pos- "slbly more discriminating than for nerly. More garlands are now gatherec for those who, In , practical fashion help -fheworld unwanf than forthos' who, under the stimulus of martla' music or the hoarse acclaim of shoir Ing multitudes, win military fame oi wlitlcal power. In this sober and rational period 'he Quality of the dead and the nierr1 of the doer are weighed In deliberat ind analytic manner, and unerlngl' is certainly as the turning of the nee lie to the pole does the thought o' he people In the end turn to them whi make easier the path of humanity an" nut Into the mouth of the people f new song of cheer and hope. No thought of self moved Grlffln lr the making of his will. No outsit pressure Induced the generous leg- icy. From reliable Information, It cai- be stated that the enterprise founder by his gift, had Its origin solely ir 'he prompting of his own generous nature and his own sound Judgment gave shape and dlreolon to It. -That the record of no similar en terprise could serve as a chart anr that, the venture In which his son was absorbed was an untried one dl not change his attitude nor swervt him from the course his judgment ai proved.
