PACE TO WHOM 8 PACE IS DUE. . i" An occasional Elizabeth City friend I A this newspaper complains that the Advance Is not making the progress . J&ow that it once did and that its edl torials are not so interesting as here- ofore. - We beg to say that wflbn the Ad ' vance came to Ellzabetk City its hori zon hardly extended beyond the cor porate limits of the town. Ouu editorial and our aew space ' 'were given almost completely .to Eliz abeth City, ''But -Elizabeth. City remained wed ded o its Jdola. and did not adequate ly compensate us for our efforts, our , circulation In town never getting much beyond the hundred mark. Because today the greater part of our circulation la outslda. of Pasquo tank county, we must give these other counties part of our space. ' 0 j Meanwhile, however, Elizabeth City will not be neglected. When there Is news It will be published, when there la progress It will be noted, add when there are questions bef&re the people they will be discussed. -o- hi 'all part of the country Holiook are opewing for ilie fall and winter' 'term and iiuhIi of the future will dcjK'nd upon the training of the youth of to day. Never iu our history wa there a time when it wan nioit im perative that hasty pillions and vindictive teniKrainents lie curbed anjl eradicated. ' NVver wan there a time when the inculcation of brotherly love and a -onide.iarion for (others wan more uruentlv re. quired.

The oue cannot succeed with- f)ut the co-operation of the othetr, hut the two working earnestly, and jointly will ac complish wonderful reHilts. The Advance observed with no small degree of satisfaction the tribute paid to Professor ft. L. Sheep by the Citizens of Elizabeth City on the eve of his departure from the town. Leav ing our town after thirty five years of service as an educator among us it was not fitting that he should leave the city and ac tion without some expression of the esteem in which he is held. Professor Sheep came to Eliz- beth City in 1878 and from that time ha been a leader in Educa tion in this- part of the state. Under his supervision has bjeu built up a school that stands in the velry front rank among th? High School of the state, there being hardly a half dozen other institutons of its class with so (high a standing. This is due a,fide from the Superiimteudent native ability, to the further fact that the same -man has been at the head of our public school systeip from the beginning of II.C1HY 8 CO Cotton, Grain Produce ElMbeth City, N.C.

Elizabeth V 1 City has probab.y never realized yet how fortunate hag been it' lot in escaping continual change in the management of its school In many towns a new Superin tendent is elected every year or two, and ;where this its the case the establinhing of a schoo'.' with any recognized standard is almost an impossibility. Let us all hope, that Elisabeth City is not now coming upon a perial 'wihen educational progress a- fmong us will' be hindered and thwarted if not completely wrecked. That any teacher should hold a position for a considerable length of time without arousing ome opposition is not to be ex pected. That there wag op position to Mr. Sheep was not surprising, but when that op- l ii n .

However much Mr. Sheep's friends may regret lis resignation thu yean there i much consolation in the fact that the effort last year to violently oust him from his position waft a- failure. And the fact remainc that no year's work done by Mr. Sheep shows nHore crfrlit than the last. Work hng under an entirely new board of trustseH, many of whom had been chocren for no other qualifi. Ration than thqt of intense hco- Wlility to him, handicapped be LeauHe many of the usual preroga tives of the Superintendent had wieen taken out of'hs hand and todged by the trustee in them- fielvef, under Mr. Rheep's man- agement. there wwas still no ev ident impairment of discipline and the work, of the year wa completed without jar or fric tion. There could be no bet-, ter evidence of the dominance of the Superiflstendents ' personality in every department of his work or of his ability both as a teach er and a supervisor of teachers. The Advance has never con ceived the criticism of a super intendents method or failings as within the province, under circumstances at all ordinary, of a public print. Whatever of imperfection, therefore: may have appeared to the writer of thw editorial in 51 r. Rheep, this paper has had nothing to my It -would have been strange in deed if to !one teacher another had appeared as absolutely perfect. We will say, how evor, that had our regard for half we should till' have oppos ed with all our strength any ef fort to violently displace him trom ins position. And we will say too, that having heard many Trititdsnis of teachers, none ever appeared to us so groundless or so unworthy of all tnoughtnil consideration as I hose which Mr. Rheep's enemies brought forward in urging his displacement. .
