The Governor’s Message. The message of Governor Glenn to the Legislature, although a lit tle long, is an interesting clojn- iiient and deserves to be res*d by the people all over the State. On most Rubject-s of interest the Gov ernor rings clear. .After dwelling on tlie blessings of I’rovidotice and the benefits of i)Mnuci'ai-.iC rule, he takes up the matter of tax.,atioii. H;-, is against tlie inequality in valuation of [iroperty in some counties, and shows - hat if the railroads and other cur]ior-itioiis were ta.xud at the’.t I'oii! worth tlie assessed value of priqie.'ty ill tfte Stats would be one liillioii didhirs. Regarding railroads, he thinks the two classes of fares sh-oulci be sbolisked. and a Hat rate oi 2 1-2 cents with 2 cents for mileage books siionld bo adojited. Tliis recommendatiou will be popular with tlie people. Toucliii g the child-labor ques tion, he thinks that n .jne. who can notread and write should be al lowed to work in the factories un til they are fourteen. We cannot attempt to give even a synopsis of the message. I'lib’.vo’ consider it a very able one and in most respects the recommenda tions will be popular with most people.

But now, he comes back to the Senate, re-ele^t-ed, but a fallen star. He confesses that as attor- neg he has accepted huge fees from an oil ciuiiipany subsidiary cai-i- to the fStaudar^ Oil Company, and also borrowed large sums of mon ey from that subsidiary company. It iB nothing wrong to accept big fees or to borrow money trom corporations so interisted in our law making and come forth with out the smell of fire or—oil.

Beware what you put first. There is but one thing first. We do hope that Senator Bailey will jirofit by his early’ blunder. We are glad Texas has re-elected him ill spite of it.

It was a happy and an unusual sight. Teaching is a spiritual art and classifies with music, poetry and oratory. Fc r several years these have been the first words I have seen oi opening my professional journal. And yet teaching, exce])t in the case of college or 11,iiversitv work, IS not recognized as one of the learned professions. Teachers neither meet with that social and financial recognition, nor exercise that iiifiuonce in the community which the supreme importance of tneir calling deserves and de- niaiiGS. Now 'wliy IS this? There are several reiS-'-ns why it is true but I think the chief one u tills—flnii the teachers tliein- selve,s fail 'io realize the magnitude of their calling, and of t'bp prepa ration It reqiiire,R. That teachor w'co doe.s not feel that he IS helping to bring alioiit even t'lough in a small way "’that one far off divine event toward which the whole creation moves” de.?orve- no Tilacein liis jirotessiou. One of the cinef duties of tlie iViiiericaii juiblie »-.‘.iiool ns liio preparation ol ilii’ cmlu lor an .;;iiligii lened oiti:-<eusllip. We tax the people of our State in order to (duoatethe children because universal iutelligenoe is absolutely necessary it we wish our republican fo.nii of govern ment to st,»nd. I wish to say right here that I am heartily and entire ly in favor of a oompulsoi'3" sciiool law in North Carolina. I believe the State has done only a part of her duty when she provides her chi.dren with schools. Sheshoiild require them to attend these soliools for at least four months in ever'y year, between the ages of 6 and 14. I believe the time has come when every teaoh“r in Bla den county, and every teacher in North Carolina, should begin to agitate this question. .As I said an educated citizen ship is necessary with our form of government. Not the education alone ivhioh enables a man to earn a livelihood, but rather that which enal.iles him to become a useful member of socie.y, and especially that which fits him to properly periorm his duties to his goveniinent and to his fel owmeii, | So it is the jiatnotic citizen we need. But “love of cauntry” must be preceded by knowledge of country. Can wo love that of which we are ignorant? Therefore I would urge upon you the need of pai'ing more at tention to the study of civil gov ernment in your scliools. This can be begun with the smallest children; they will be in terested to know the names of the officers of their town county, etc, and as they grow older they should know what qualifications are nec- essary fora man to be Presideimof the United States, to be a United States Senator, a Congressman, et-o. Then compare the qiiulifications of corresponding State officers. Hav* them realize the many, many times in which they come in touch -qit-ii 'ih.'ir State and local govisi'iiinenf, and that it is the national govci'nmnnt with which they aro in contact at the post-of fice, court-house, ott, Make jilain tiie difference be- twoen the national, State and local government. In this way the youth of our country will comprehend, in tlie language of Benjamin Harrison, that “Citizenship has its duties as well as its privileges. The first is fliat we give our energies and influence to the enactment of just, equal and beneficent 'laws. The second is like unto it; that we loyally reyeronce and obey the will of the majority, waecher we are of the majority or not: The law throws the algis of its jirotec- tion over us all To the law we bow with reverence. It is the one king that commands our allegi ance.” I think the act passed by the Legislature in 1901, that one day m each and everj’ year should I.ie known as “Carolina Day,” Slid sliould be celebrated as such by al 1 our scliools, 1)3’ devoting the day to the consideration of some topic of our State history, was a wise one indeed. It has already done much to arouse the patnotic- spirit within our borders. The law would not have been in vam were it only for the fact that each teacher in North. Caroiina has had copies of our patriotic songs sent him by our State Su perintendent, and he has taught these to the children under bis care. Do you realize what that Liieiins.? if thetsachers have done their duty It iiieacs this: That every public school child in North Oai'olina can sing “Carolina,” “Ho for C:iia.)hna,” and “Ameri ca.” Now if we had them ail togeth er what .a mighty chorus that wouidb'e! And do you know, I don’t believe any child can sing those soi.gS without being a better thild—a more patriotic child at least. And now that we have learned these songs, please do not forget all about them till “Caro lina Day” next year. I have found that nothing re lievos a school room of its drudg ery like bright, catchy songs. I have known children to work hard all day fer tlie privilege of singing the last ten or fifteen minutes in the afternoon. Have you ever tried opening your school in the morning with a good song, not necessarily a Siiiida3’ School song, but a song song the children Jike to sing? If so, have you not found that you did not have so many tardies? Or how about that time in school when everything is going wrong, when even the brightest seem stupid, and every one is squiniiiiig? Have 3’ou ev»r put on yi'ur sweetest smile and said, “Oonie, let’s stand and sing that song you like best of all.” Was that five minutes wasted? No, for that song iias acted like a stimulant, and ever3’one goes to work with renewed vigor, Use your patriotic songs on these occasions, •‘Carolina” and “Ho, for Carolina” are both fine and I’ve never seen a child who did not like to sing them. But whence must come the in spiration for this tasK? The thousands of children in our schools represnt all classes of society, and all stages of social and moral development. We can not hope to make scholars ot them all, much less perfectly developed men and wiiiiieii, Our aim is to do tlie best we can for each indi vidual, toeiiab e him to grasp the highest oiiportunities of which his 1 if; here !S capable, and to do his duty. 'Thus iiic eased intellectual ca pacity. enlightened conscience and mi;ral [le'rcepti'in are trans mitted from generation t;.) gener ation, and in tiiat wa3' flic teach ers inl'iniiice is immortal. 'I'iro- some a.so.iy work may seem from day to day, what more inspira tion than this is needed? Many a mail who has paid ev ery dollar he owed in this w’orld may be put in .hell at last for be- ii'g a thief. Theft is the _uulaw’- ful taking of the property of an other, without his knowledge and consent,—Sam Jones. Subscribe to The Express.
