Forsyth, Halifax, Harnett, Johnston, Moore, New Hanover, Onslow,
Richmond, Robeson, Sampson, Wake and Wayne. The territory em-braced
by these is an extended area in which the teachers have, we hope,
been materially benefited. The daily average attendance was 136 stu-dents.
The Senior Class consisted of six students, three of whom completed
the entire course and received diplomas of graduation. There were 23
students in the Middle, 24 in the Junior and 28 in the sub- Junior Classes,
making a total of 81 students in the Normal proper, and 72 in the Pre-paratory
Department.
The course of study, covering six years, has not been changed. Refer-ence
to the inclosed annual announcement for 1888-'90, will show that
the curriculum is admirably adapted to the wants and needs of the
teachers of the public schools. The text-books in use are those recom-mended
by the State Board. The progress made by all the classes during
the year was good. During the seven years in which I have been con-nected
with the Normal work at Fayetteville, I have never seen deeper
interest taken in the thorough preparation of the lessons assigned the
students.
In the management of the session just ended, it was my constant
endeavor to educate not only the head, but also the heart and the hand.
A series of practical lectures on morality and other important subjects
was delivered by myself and others during the session. The proficiency
and mental discipline exhibited by the students at the closing exercises,
gave to the visitors and friends of education an insight into the general
progress of the school.
There was also in connection with the school an industrial feature
which served to show the character of the work done by the students
during the session. There was on exhibition fine paintings, pencil and
crayon drawings, map drawings and needle-work of nearly every
variety.
The Literary and Temperance Societies were continued during the
entire year. The annual address was delivered by J. F. K. Simpson,
A. M., before a large and appreciative audience.
The moral conduct of our students has been excellent. There was
only one suspension. The parents and guardians of the school have
aided me materially in discharging efficiently the duties devolving upon
me.
While it is not my purpose to enter here a plea for the Normals, yet,
if the educational field is as encouraging in other sections of the State
as it is here, in my weak judgment the discontinuation of these schools
would do considerable injury to the educational work of the State.
The success of the school is by no means due to any one person. It is
in great part due to the teachers in attendance, the earnest efforts of my
fellow-teachers of the Faculty, the interest taken in our work by the
