The State has three kinds of
schools the State schools, the church
schools and the private schools. The
last named class is. of comparatively
small importance, because they are
so few in number. The private schools
and academies at one time formed a
much larger per cent of our schools
than at present. That a few still re
main and do good work, thus increasing-
the opportunities for education,
everyone, we suppose, who is interest
ed in the education of the youth of the
State are thankful.
As to church education, it is being"
confined more and more to the colleges, J
which draw their support from their
respective denominations and from the
liberality of private individuals. The
churches have found, themselves una
ble to maintain high schools, in many
instances, and are fast lelinquishing
the field of secondary education. They
do not attempt the common school, ex
cept in isolated instances, where a
school is established as a charitable or
missionary agency. Plainly, the power
of the churches for education lies in
their higher institutions. Here their
power is indeed great. Every No:th
Carolinian should rejoice that the de
nominational colleges of the State
have received big endowments, along
with the loyal support of the churches,
thus being enabled to do a great work
in the education of young men and
women.
The State's schools may be classi
fied as a system. This system includes
the public schools, the State high
schools and the University -which
consists of the State's three higher in
stitutions of learning. From an im
partial survey of the facts, it is evu
dent that the larger part of the work
of education must and does devolve
upon the State. There is, or should
be, no conflict between the State
schools and the schools maintained by
churches and private individuals. Are
they not all working to the same end
the education of good citizens and
as many of them as possible?
And yet, trom the resolutions re
cently passed in the Baptist State Con
vention at Hendersonyille, one would
be led to believe that the prosperity of
the State colleges would mean an un
doubted injury to the denominational
schools. How or why this would be
true it is hard to say. But those reso
lutions, read over and over again,
seem to mean just that and nothing
more:

men and women as the State colleges, Prepare that Banquet. He KNOWS
we are unable to see why the former
institutions are forced to increase their
endowment for the purpose of meeting
the existing condition at the State col
leges. Are the denominational schools
under the necessity of educating three
or tour times as many, instead of
twice as many" as the State institu
tions? And must the State's appro
priation for its schools be guaged in
such a way as to bring that about?
We shall not try to deal with the state

As to Gass. Basketball
Basketball seems to have come into
its own at last. Recognized as a Var
sity sport, enjoying the services of a
competent coach, more challanges on
hand than can be taken care of, being
the topic of conversation at breakfast
tables and this is the real test of live
athletics it seems that the dreams of
basketball's most enthusiastic support
ers has come true. Now that we have
taken up thegame, why not carry
to the limit and make the most of it?
A freshman enquired a few days ago
if there would be class basketball
teams. While the promoters of the
game probably have not given much
attention to this phase of the sport,
the suggestion of the freshman seems
to be a good one. Why not have class
games of basketball? Since only five
men play on a team, and since class
basketball would give twenty more
men a chance to make a team, it seems All the New
to us that nothing could be done Styles
which would place the sport on a firm- are ltl
er basis at the University than the
making it a phase of class athletics;
Class football has prospered this ses'
sion as it lias not before in the past
few years, and it is but natural to ex
tend this spirit into basketball.
Of course the greatest difficulty
would be the necessity for the election
of managers and captains by the dif
ferent classes to meet and elect their
officials. Coach CartmeU might simply
select five men from each class, ap
point captains, select the days, on
which to play and let them go it. We Q (jQfltS
