handiwork he would marvel at
glorious result of his beneficence.
Tnis is a day of problems in educa
tion; all over this broad land or ours
individuals are vieing with each' other
iri Endowing educational institution
and making gifts to universities. It
is considered a privilege by men of
weajth to contribute largely of their
means to found . colleges and build
schools. ' '
Universal education by the State is
the?solution of the problem. This was
thedoctrine of Jefferson, and this
principle is now embodied in the con
stitutions and laws of every State in
theUn.
In 1850 Herbal Spencer, l.- great
apostle of universal education, said:
"Let there be light in every nook and
corner in the educational world.
Without this universal education how
can we expect to keep up the civiliza
tion of today? For as the civilization
of toda is the product of that of yes
terday, so the, civilization of the future
will be the outgrowth of that of today.
It has been said that taxation is on?
of ,the chief characteristics of civiliza
tion, and the savage pays no tax. '
I have read with some considerable
interest the many things that have
been written lately about levying a tax
for the T support of public schools in
New Hanover county, and am heartily
in accord with all public-spirited citi
zens who have been giving their time
to the advocacy of the tax being levied.
I do not know of any measure that has
ever been presented in this or any
other community' that should sooner
receive, at the hands of the people
more unanimous endorsement.
We have presented to us ever and
anon matters that affect- the public
good, and we are often honestly di
yided in our opinions as to the exped
iency of giving the cause our support,
and we conscientiously differ with our
friends as to the benefit to be derived,
and whether it is the business of th
State t or city to assume the. responsi
bility of spending the public moneys
for its maintenance. But here is 'a
question on which there should be nr
division of sentiment; a question thai
is so vital in its significance, and sf
