Editor of The Recorder Assails One Professor. In this week's Biblical Recorder Editor J. W. Bailey has his lending editorial on the A. and M. College. It is headed "The Failure of the Kid-Glove Idea." Mr. Bailey says .in the course of his editorial: "Conducted upon the plan originally intended there is great need and a great future for this institution; conducted as it has been so far it can never amount to a great deal. The only hope is "to begin all over again," profiting by the experience of the last few years. Even then, being dependent upon polilienl in fluence for support, it must needs have political changes and political greed lo contend with; but as a trades-sehol, a technical institution, a college of prac tical Instruction, it will find great rdiof. "There is no need for it and no future for it as n Literary Institution. To en deavor to make one of it is to ar.sua Ou t the University of the Stat-) lias failed and that the denominational colleges are inadequate. To make a literary institu tion of it can benefit no one cave the professors who conduct its departments." MK Bailey concludes his editorial as follows: "Better begin over again. "Get a teacher of llortieumiio who will teach that department, attend to his own business without writing scurrilous articles anonymously for the press, without recommending "Potash" for ev erything under heaven at so much per line, without assuming to 'run the Board of Trustees, without trying to run to other professors infinitely his superiors out of the faculty, without trying to get one of their houses to livo in. Do thU lor one thing, and there will be hope. "And in place of the fawning fellows who infest the halls of legislation, when they ought to be teaching, and lobby not only for appropriations, but of Trustees whom they can control, get real teach ers. Then, at any rate-, the alumni of the institution can have some considera tion in the selection of trmteos. "There is hope for th.j North Carolina College of Agriculture and Mechanic Arts, if its Trustees will 11-stst the facul ty clique wfto are running H awl making ife k burden for their fellow teachers; there is hope if the trustees will make of the institution somewhat of that which its founders desired. But there is no hope unless they begin sfl over again. "A splendid plant, aft excellent loca tion, a magnificent income, a large field of usefulness; but all so far to no pur pose. The kid-glove idea has failed; the people know it; enough of pretensions; let us come down to leather aprons and real work." tfhjs piorning the Sunday school of the Edentou Street Methodist church left fnr Uniilnh church irrove where thev are enjoying their annual picnic.
