JOYNEK, State Superintendent of Piihlic Instruction, Raleigh. Is. C. Dear Sir :—I have the honor to submit herewith my First Annual Report of the Public High Schools, established under an act of the Legislature of 1907, for the scholastic year ending June 30, 1908. I have included also, in accordance with your instructions, such a report of the city and town high schools as could be made from the reports sent in to your office by the principals of these schools. It is to be regretted that this part of my report is not complete. It was, however, impossible to make it so, since many of these schools failed to make to your office any report of their work. Very truly yours, ^ ^ WALKER, State Inspector of Public High Schools. TABLE OF CONTENTS. Letter of TRANSiiiTTAL. Comments and Suggestions. Table I — Public High Schools : Schools. Principals.

REPORT OF THE STATE INSPECTOR OF PUBLIC HIGH SCHOOLS 1907-'08. COMMENTS AND SUGGESTIONS. The establisluuent of a system of rural public high schools in North Carolina has come as a logical step forward in the advancement of popular education. The recent rapid development of our elementary schools has made the begin-ning of this system not only possible but imperative. The need of high-school facilities for the boys and girls of our rural districts has long been evident, but no serious attempt to supply this need was made until 1907, when the Leg-islature passed our present high-school law and provided an annual appropria-tion of fifty thousand dollars to stimulate high-school instruction and teacher traniing. And thus the State has entered with seriousness of purpose the field of secondary education, and in so doing it has tried to meet an importaflt duty and has assumed a solemn obligation. During the first year of the operation of this law provision was made for the establishment of one hundred and fifty-six State high schools in eighty-one counties. One hundred and forty-five of these schools, in seventy-six coun-ties, opened their doors the first year, and enrolled three thousand nine hun-dred and forty-nine students. This fact alone, I think, is an eloquent com-mentary upon the beginning that has been made, and a prophecy of no small significance. The indications are that during the current year we shall enroll in these schools between five thousand and six thousand high-school students. It does not take a prophet to see that this system of schools, adequately pro-vided for and properly directed, can be made to exert a tremendous influence in the development of the intellectual and industrial life of our State. It may not be out of place to mention here some of the blessings and ad-vantages that must come to our Commonwealth through these State high schools. And let us bear in mind that these results are neither hypothetical nor visionary: they are practical. They have been achieved in other States, and what has been accomplished elsewhere can be done here in North Carolina. (1) These schools will offer to all children equal opportimiti/ for self-develoi)- iiiriit, Avhich opportunity heretofore has been restricted to a limited few. They will thus be the means through which hundreds and thousands of bright boys and girls can be reached at that most important period of their life, the period of adolescence, aad lifted to higher ideals of living and inspired to nobler service. Our rural life must be enriched, and enlarged, and spiritualized, and there can he no more effective agency for accomplishing these purposes than an adequate system of rural pulilic high schools. (2) Not only will these schools train thousands of children for more useful citizenship, but for the ambitious youth of slender means ilicij icUl open the doors of our lufiher wstittitions of learning by bridging the chasm between the elementary school and the college, which heretofore has made higher training impossible to countless deserving young men and women. The State needs 8 Public High Schools 1907-'08. more trained leaders; the high school must find the boys and girls that have the ambition and the talent to become leaders, prepare them for higher train-ing, and send them on to college. (3) These schools will serve as a stimulus to the educational work of the counties and to the intellectual life of the communities in which they are located, and will thus help to advance all our educaiional interests. We can-not have an adequate system of elementary schools until we develop also a sys-tem of high schools. They will serve the elementary schools in two very im-portant ways: (a) By hnprovhig the teaching force in the lower schools. With a good public high school in his county the superintendent can insist that all applicants for positions to teach in the lower schools shall be at least high-school graduates, (b) The high school will prove to be an incentive to the children to remain in school until the course is completed, whereas the great majority of them now droi) out before they get even the benefits to be derived from the elementary school. If ignorance is ever to be blotted out, the children must be got into school and kept there under competent teachers. To all who are deeply interested in the progress of public education it is gratifying to know that the first year of the State high schools has been a most successful one. It is true that there have been some irregularities, some mistakes, some instruction given that was not of high-school grade, but the work as a whole has gone forward steadily and hopefully. No institution was ever started on its career fully equipped and jierfect. There are defects that have already appeared which must be corrected; there are adjustments to be made here and there, and they will be made; but all this was expected. School systems in their development are no exception to the law of growth; they can be perfected only through the slow process of evolution. And so it will be with the public high schools of North Carolina. As at present organized the public high school is within comparatively easy reach of the majority of pupils of high-school age. Thus the high school is a matter of personal interest to a majority of the people, and this popular inter-est is going to serve as a valuable asset in our work of the future. In starting this system we have proceeded along the line of least resistance, and I am con-fident we have made a proper beginning. A sure foundation has been laid upon which the structure of the future may be reared. Now. if we are to develop the type of high school that can be made of most service, we must begin to build along somewhat broader lines; we must take steps at the earliest practicable moment to develop the strong central high school, one for eacli county, fully equipped, offering strong courses of study, and segregatetl. if nec-essary, from the elementary school. This central school, in every ease, should be required to offer full four-year courses of instruction, in the classics, the sciences, and industry. I am confident that this type of school must come if the demands of the present and the future are to be met, and if the high-school work is to possess the strength, and the dignity, and the importance that justly belong to it. And as these schools grow and extend their influence there must come in connection with each one the principal's home, the mess hall, and dormitory facilities. A few counties are now ready, it seems to me, to build the central high school, and I can see no reason why they should not be encouraged to do so. Public High Schools 1907-'08. 9 The annual shifting of the high-school principals from school to school is at present a serious handicap. The principal who feels that he has but a transient relation to the community life and that he has no other responsibility to meet than merely to perform his classroom duties from day to day. although he may do this faithfully ahd efliciently, is not going to develo]) the strong school that is demanded. He must become identified with the oonmiunity and remain there long enough to impress his ideals upon its life and to give char-acter and tone to the work of the school. There must be some permanent plan of organization for each school in order that the work from year to year may have continuity and be progressive, thus pi'eventing great waste of educational effort and the loss of valuable time. In order to effect such a plan of organi-zation and to give stable character to the work of his school the principal must become something more than a passing show ; he must become a fixture for a few years at least. The mess hall and the dormitory are adjuncts that must be provided very soon. Already hundreds of students from the adjoining districts and from dis-tant parts of the counties are crowding into these public high schools, who must find board in the neighborhood of the schools. Of the students enrolled in the public high schools last year over five hundred were boarding students. The number this year will be decidedly larger, as the schools are better known and their influence stronger. The fact that there were so many boarding pupils the first year is a A'ery encouraging sign. Except in a few cases no special effort has been made to pi'ovide cheap boarding facilities. In some cases board has been provided by local boarding-house keepers, in other cases the students have found good board in the homes of the community, and in a few instances they have formed clubs and secured board at cost. In one school I saw a club of about a dozen young women who rented rooms near the high school, brought their provisions from home, and did their own work. The principal told me that by following this plan those students did not have to pay out in money more than three dollars a month. Such a plan could be car-ried out by a considerable number of students in various schools if the dormi-tory and the mess hall could be provided. There is a great demand for these adjuncts, and provision should be made for them in as many as possible of the stronger schools. Another matter that ought to be considered in planning for the central high school of the future is that of acquiring suitable lands for the purposes of agricultural and industrial instruction. "When it is generally understood by the people of the rural districts that the State has taken up the work of secondary education with seriousness of purpose and that it intends to build for its youth such schools as the future may demand, then it will be an easy matter to secure by donation, without one cent of cost in most cases, at a very small expense in any case, sufficient lands for the purposes of the high school. It will be a very wise investment for any community to donate the land for the central high school to the county in order to secure the location of the school. The increasing demand for instruction in agriculture, domestic science, and manual training is bound to be met in some way, and in planning for the larger growth of the public high school this fact must be taken into considera-tion. 10 Public High Schools 1U07-'08. Tliis, in brief, is tlie plan wo must begin to worlv to\Yards. We cannot accom-plish everything at once, but if the proper encouragement is given, it will be a matter of only a few years before every county in the State can have and will have one strong central high school. But in recommending the central high school I would not be misunderstood ; I do not advocate the discontinuance of the small high school, such as now exists in most of the counties. It will doubtless be necessary to discontinue many of the small schools, but it will be well if, in addition to the central school, each countj', according to its wealth and size, can maintain from two to four small secondary schools conveniently located and offering about two years of the high-school course. These small schools can be operated at small expense, and they will bring high-school instruction within reach of a larger number of pupils who will not, for some years at any rate, attend the central school. There are those who will say that it is a big undertaking for the State to operate such a system of schools as I have indicated, and I grant it. But we had as well acknowledge once for all that educating people is expensive, both in time and in money, but that it is infinitely more expensive to allow the children of the State to grow up in ignorance. We had as well acknowledge, too, and frankly admit that the business, above all others, that should con-cern a great State, jealous of its good name and mindful of its present and future welfare, is the education of its boys and girls. Particularly is this true in a democratic State, where equality of opportunity is the watchword of progress. It is true, because it is the kind and quality of their education, in the broad meaning of the term, that must determine a people's advance-ment, whether that advancement be in things industrial or in tbings spiritual.

Gentlemen :—Permit me to make this brief statement of tlie worli of tlie Slater Sclaool clnring tlie four years of my iucumbency as principal of said school. These years have been remarkable in many respects—years filled with hopes and discouragements alike, yet years of undoubted progress withal. Our recent commencement was marked by unusual interest and enthusiasm on the part of both visitors and our school folks. At no time during these years has there been shown so many evidences of devotion and loyalty on the part of our students, such a manifest determination to return to school the coming year, and on and on, until the prescribed course of studies shall have been completed. The commencement exercises also furnished evidences of growth and devel-opment in the matter of appreciation on the part of the colored people of this conununity. In beginning his remarks, our commencement orator. Bishop Edward Rondthaler, congratulated the school upon the splendid audience of the best colored citizens of the Twin City. As I look back over the work of the past four years. I am free to confess that mistakes have been made, though not intentional. Progress, too, has been made, possibly not as much as might have been made under different circumstances, still real and substantial progress along all lines that tend to make a strong and influential school. Good work also has been done by my colaborers. the teachers. In one or two instances our teachers may not have been so well prepared as the teachers of some of the schools of the State doing similar work, but scarcely could a more cheerful, harmonious, faithful set of teachers be found in any school, of whatever grade—without which we could not have made the progress that has been made: for it Is a i-emarkable fact that during these years as the whole number of students has increased the number of teachers has decreased. We had fewer teachers the year just closed than at any time within the past ten years. In 1898 there were 191 pupils with twelve teachers and officers : ten years later there are 388 pupils with ten teachers and officers. In the normal department the enrollment is now a little more than double the enroll-ment in the same department four years ago. There has been decided improvement in the matter of daily attendance. Our undergraduate students have learned that while school is going on their chief business is going to school, and when school is closed the chief business is to get work in order to make the means to get back to school. Although this growth has been gratifying to all concerned, it is now beginning to present a grave problem. Our classes are getting too large for our class rooms, and with the limited force of teachers it has been impossible to make divisions of classes. This difficulty is augmented when we consider the general question of room. Last term our dormitory for girls was filled before the end of the first month, every available place being used to put a bed—even the sitting room was improvised into a bedroom for girls, while one or more girls roomed with each of the lady teachers. With this continued increasing popularity of the school, a girls' dormitory is now an imperative need. State Xok.mal Schools. 51 OUB TERRITORY. Our students come from those counties allotted as tlie special territory of this particular one of the colored State normal schools. With few exceptions they are all North Carolinians, either present residents or the sons and daugh-ters of former residents who still prefer to have their children trained in their home school by men and women with whom they are more or less acquainted. The entire school of nearly four hundred students represents twenty-four counties of North Carolina, one or two counties of southwestern Virginia, with a single representative each from Maryland, Tennessee, Illinois, South Caro-lina and Georgia. CLASS-ROOM WORK. Under the present system of supervision, the work of the class room has greatly improved. For several years past our teachers have met regularly one afternoon in each week for professional work and mutual help in handling the problems of the class room. These meetings have proven of mitold value in helping the several teachers to better understand their particular subjects, and giving all a more general knowledge of the entire course of subjects pre-scribed. And so our teachers are more concerned about the (piallty of the work done than its quantity — results are sought. The students, too, have gradually learned to do more and better study in the preparation of lessons. At the recent test examination of our superintendent the entire class of fom'teen members made the required marks for graduation, the highest average made by a single student being 97.16 per cent, giving to Slater a second victoi*y in point of student scholarship in these State normals by more than 6 per cent. NEW COURSE OF STUDY. A noteworthy fact is the rapid decrease in the average age of our normal pupils, many graduating from the State course before they attain legal age to teach in North Carolina. They are then forced to remain at home unem-ployed or else go off to other schools to carry on their education. This con-dition our worthy superintendent, Capt. John Duckett. has been quick to see and apply the remedy in a more advanced course for the normal department with an added academic post-graduate course similar to our former Slater School academic com'se of previous years. This advancement in the scope of our work has already inspired new interest and enthusiasm in both teachers and students. Nearl.y all the class of 1908, together with several of former classes, have already signified their intention to return next fall and imrsue the academic course. THE PRACTICE SCHOOLS. Owing to the gi-eatly crowded condition of rooms for the past few years we have not been able to accomplish very much in the way of carrying on practice training of the graduating class at this school. And so the practice, or primary, school has not been able to contribute very much towards the normal work in this particular. This year, however, because of conditions previously enlarged upon in my monthly statements, the almost impassable way to be traveled by Happy Hill and Salem children, the enrollment in this school has not been so large as two years ago ; still a very considerable nimi-ber remained up to the close of the school this term. It may not be out of 52 State Js'okmal Schools. place to observe in passing that this practice school, in a large measure, has been the backbone of the normal school. Our best pupils, graduated from the normal, have been, without exception, those who came through the practice school. OUR SCHOOL GROUNDS. Through the generous activity of Mr. W. A. Blair, valuable garden seeds, berry plants, shrubbery and choice flower seeds were sent to us, which enabled us to multiply our garden products and beautify portions of our grounds. Some valuable landscape and terrace work was done this spring on the yard in the rear of Lamson Hall by the schoolboys, under the direction of the principal. This little effort in this direction only serves to demonstrate what is possible along this line. Just here permit me to mention the fact that the school has no playground on either of the school premises. The grounds now being used may be called in by the respective owners any day, and in such an event nearly four hun-dred pupils will be deprived of a suitable place for necessary sport and recreation. PERSONAL GRATITUDE. In closing this report, gentlemen of the board, allow me to thank you, one and all, for the confidence you have reposed in me, for the ready sympathy you have extended me, for your cheerful co-operation given me in this work of elevating my people through the agency of the State. Your words of appreciation, your kindly suggestions, your undoubted interest in the uplift of this race have all been sources of inspiration and encouragement to all of us, for which we are very grateful. Frequently in my perplexity and embar-rassment in handling this work I have longed to call on you for help and suggestion, but knowing all too well the many varied interests engaging your attention, and remembering that you have already given unstintedly of your time and your means for the furtherance of this school, I refrained from following my inclination. This I now see to have been one of the mistakes of these years. APPRECIATION OF TEACHERS. I cannot close this brief review without a word of thanks and appreciation to the teachers who have at all times responded with cheerful alacrity to every suggestion. Especially have I appreciated the help and encouragement that has come to the work out of the abundant experience of Prof. John W. Woody, the only executive oflicer of the old Slater School to remain during these years. And now, thanking you for your patience, I leave the matter of future plans to the arrangement of our very efficient superintendent, Capt. .John Duckett, and the worthy and honorable members of the local board. Respectfully submitted, ' ^ q O'Kelly, Principal of the Slater School. REPORT OF FAYETTEVILLE NORMAL SCHOOL. To Prof. John Duckett, Superintendent State Colored Normal Schools, Department of Education, Raleigh, N. C. Dear Sir :—I beg, respectfully, to submit to you this report of the work of the thirty-first annual session of this school. The session opened on Monday, September 16, 1907, with seventy-one stu-dents present. It closed on Friday, May 1, 1908, with an enrollment of 13 students in the high school, 21 in the fourth-year normal, 28 In the third-year normal. 61 in the second-year normal, and 72 in the first-year normal— a total of 195 students, who came from thirteen different counties. This num-ber does not include 32 pupils enrolled in the primary school. The session of the school was conducted in a two-story building located on Worth Street, this city. It is the property of a society (Royal Knights). This building was rented and temporarily fitted up for the school at a cost of $223. During the first month of the session it was found that there were not sufficient accommodations afforded in the temporary quarters to conduct a practice school in connection with the normal and high schools, hence the practice school was discontinued after the two first weeks of the session. The attendance was not all the instructors desired, in that twenty-two of the students stopped school and went out to teach. Of those who stopped school to teach were two from the second-year normal, one from the third-year normal, thirteen from the fourth-year normal, and six from the high-school class. Sickness interfered with the attendance of five others of the fourth-year students. These facts will explain why the members of the fourth-year class failed to take the final examination for graduation. Six of those who stopped to teach returned to school, after teaching in the district schools for a period of four months ; three of the five who were detained at their homes by reason of sickness returned to school after being absent from one to three months. The work of the school, how-ever, other than the facts set forth in the foregoing paragraph, was quite satisfactory. The average attendance of the students was, for the first month, 63 ; for the second, 78 ; for the third, 114 ; for the fourth, 124 ; for the fifth, 128; for the sixth, 114; for the seventh, 95; for the eighth, 85, and for the session, 100%. Our teaching force, at the beginning of the session, consisted of three female and two male teachers, not including the principal. With the discontinuance of the practice school the services of one of the female teachers was dispensed with. The daily program was arranged so as to give the female teachers seven and the male teachers eight recitations each, while the principal conducted three. Thus thirty-three daily recitations were given, as follows : to the first-, second- and third-year normal classes, seven each, and to the fourth-year normal and high-school classes, six each. 54 State Xoemal Schools. The school has enjoyed the moral support and co-operation of the public during the session in a marked degree. The manifest interest in the success of the school, shown in different ways from time to time by the people of the community, has been a potent stimulus to activity both on the part of the instructors and the students. The frequent visits, helpful suggestions, wise counsel and valuable instruc-tion of our efficient superintendent. Prof. John Duckett, have inspired the teachers and enthused the students, and each has applied himself with dili-gence to the performance of the work assigned. Very respectfully and obediently, ^ ^ Smith Principal of Fayetteville ScJiool. REPORT OF ELIZABETH CITY NORMAL SCHOOL Hon. J. Y. JoYNER, Hui)criiitcn(Jcnt of Public In si ruction. Raleigh, N. C. Dear Sir:—Please allow me to make a brief report of the seventeenth annual session of the Elizabeth City State Normal School for your consid-eration. The session began September 10, 1907, and closed May 1, 1908, being a term of one hundred and sixty school days. The work of no previous session was more arduous than that of the last session. Yet the work was cheerfully, faithfully and well performed by all connected with the institution. There were marked evidences of this in each department. The student-life bore manifestations of habits of neatness, politeness, punctuality, industry and order. There were also strong evidences of moral, spiritual and intellectual growth and development among the students. The superintendency of Capt. -John Duckett, his words of advice, counsel, addresses, and his very presence served as sources of inspiration, encourage-ment and cheer to the student-body and teaching force. Particularly was this true as to myself. Hence, the cause of the general improvement of the normal school at this place. I hereby register myself as being profoundly grateful to him and the State Board of Education for all of his and their great and worthy efforts exerted for the benefit of the State colored normal schools and for education in general. In the normal department there were enrolled 274: students and in the practice school the enrollment was 4G. These students represent 2(i different counties. The senior class numbers 4.3, but only 33 applied for graduation. Thirty-one of this number passed Captain Duckett's examination and were awarded diplomas. Permit me to refer to the first session of the normal, when there were only 09 students representing 9 counties, who were instructed by one assistant teacher and the present principal. The school did not own anything at that time, but its property is now valued at not less than .$1.5,000. The following amounts were raised by the school during the year : For the new building .$208.00 Music department 5.5..50 Boys' dormitory 52.07 Practice school, tuition 142.07 Domestic school department 9.53 The City Graded School Board appropriated for the prac-tice school 150.00 Total (;17.77 My sense of duty and gratitude dictate that I should not close this report without expressing to you my appreciation and thankfulness for the wisdom and counsel of the local board of managers in all things pertaining to the permanency and success of the State normal school at this place. Very truly yours. „ ..^ ,, •' • P. W. Moore, Principal Elizaheth City Colored Xornuil School. July 1, 1908. FINANCIAL The annual I'eports of the treasurers of these schools have, until July. 1908, been made to correspond with the fiscal year, hence I have found it difficult to ascertain accurately the exact amounts received and disbursed in these schools from July, 1906, to July, 1907. The reports from July, 1907. to July. 1908, have been arranged and classified. The receipts and disbursements for 1906-'07 are as follows: STATE NORMAL AND SLATER INDUSTRIAL SCHOOL AT WINSTON.

It will be obsei-A-ed that, after deducting from the total disbursemeuts the amounts paid ou uew buildings at Fayetteville and Elizabeth City and the amount paid ou debt at Winston, the per capita expense was, at Winston $29.93, at Fayetteville $16.97, and Elizabeth City $13.67 (this is the per capita expense for eight months, or a monthly expense at the Slater School at Win-ston of $3.74, at Fayetteville of $2.12, and at Elizabeth City of $1.70). The enrollment in the normal department at Elizabeth City was 274, at Fayette-ville 19.5, and Winston 164. and the enrollment in the practice school at Eliza-beth City 46, at Fayetteville 32, at Winston 182. The practice school at Eliza-beth City costs the State very little, for the reason that the city appropriates $150 to this practice school, and each pupil is charged 50 cents per month for tuitiou. At Fayetteville the practice school was discontinued for laclv of room. The practice school at Winston costs the State $360. the balance being paid by Forsyth County. After investigation, I decided it was an injustice to the other schools to spend so much more per capita at the Slater School than at Fayetteville and Elizabeth City, hence I recommended that the business agent, who was paid $600 a year, and the superintendent of the farm, who was paid $.500, be dis-continued. I did this for the reason that I thought there was not business enough to justify paying an agent $600 a year. The State owns only about 15 acres of land at Winston, not more than 12 acres of which were in culti-vation, and it did not pay to have a superintendent at a salary of $500 a year to look after such a small farm. Further. I did not see that the industrial features were educational under his management. The principal of the school is now placed in entire charge, and the farm and other industrial work will be under his direction. He is required to give a $.500 bond to protect and take proper care of the stock and other State property. Hereafter the farm will be cultivated by the pupils, every pupil being required to average one hour a day on the farm or other industrial work. If extra work is necessary, pupils will be paid out of the funds arising from the farm and boarding departments, and not from the State appropriation. My purpose is to make the industrial departments self-sustaining. If a surplus is made above ex-penses, it will be put in the bank to the credit of the school, to be used for additions and expenses. A study of the enrollment of ll^MJ6-"07 and 1907-"0S shows there was an increase this year in the normal department of the Slater School of 93 per cent., at Fayetteville 31 per cent., at Elizabeth City 5 per cent. Though the percentage of increase was small at Elizabeth City, yet there are 110 more pupils in the normal department than at the Slater School, and 79 more tlian at Fayetteville. The current expenses at Winston, including the practice school, were $5,753.03. at Fayetteville $4.-307.33, and at Elizabeth City .$4,060.68. It ought not to cost much more, if any more, to teach a negro pupil at Winston than it does at either of the other places. I have therefore undertaken to reduce expenses at the Slater School, and think it can be successfully done without impairing the efficiency of the school in either the normal department or industrial department. There were too many supervisors and not mucli supervision. It did not seem necessary to pay a principal $900. a business agent $600, a superintendent of the farm $500, when an efficient principal, assisted by his teachers, can easily superintend the school and industrial State Xoemal Schools. (>3 departments. In this change I hope to save at least $1,000 this year. This saving is much needed, for a heating plant is very necessary at the Slater School, and as soon as the funds will justify it I shall recommend the purchase of a heating plant. It will save at least $250 a year m the amount of fuel used. BUILDINGS. At Fayetteville the 2() acres of land purchased in 1900 for $1,.^)00 was sold for $2..")00. and the Bruner tract, consisting of 39 acres, situated one and a half miles from the city, was hought with the $2,500. This place has about 12 acres in woods, a good six-room house and a large apple and pear orchard. Owing to the fact that $1,000 was made on the sale of the Woodward land, and donations made by the colored people, the Bruner tract has cost the State only $550. There has been erected and paid for on this place an elegant two-story brick school building at a cost of about $8,000. The dwelling has been repaired and fitted ui) and will accommodate about sixteen boarders. A dor-mitory for girls and a few cottages for boys should be erected as soon as the funds are available. At Elizabeth City a $12,000 school building is partly finished, but work may have to stop for lack of money. At this place also a dormitory for girls and cottages for boys are absolutely necessary before the school can be opened in the new building. I think it possible that the large building now used for the school can be removed to the new site, and be utilized for a dormitory. The acre of ground in the city where this building now stands can be sold for about as much without this Imilding as with it. This lot will probably bring $1,000. The debt for the Slater property at Winston has been paid, except there is a balance of $3,398 that will be paid in June, 1909. The appropriation made by the last Legislature for buildings has been equally divided among the three schools: $3,333 to Fayetteville in 1907, and the same amount in 1908. and $3,33-1 to Elizabeth City in 1907 and in 1908. These amounts have been used in the new buildings at Fayetteville and Eliza-beth City and in liquidating the debt at Winston. The trustees of the Croatan Indian School own their school building. The Croatans have bought and paid $500 for ten acres of land in Pembroke, and desire to move the school from Pates to that place. I am assured by many leading citizens of Robeson that the State has never appropriated money for educational purposes that has accomplished more good than the small appro-priation to the Croatan Normal. A number of the best Croatans, that are now quiet, successful citizens, have been pupils of this school. I recommend that an appropriation be made to help them erect a new normal school building and dormitories. The homes of these people have been greatly improved in the last few years. They have built churches and many of them have good farms and have made decided progress in all lines of improvement. TEACHERS. According to ioistructions from your honorable board. I have examined the teachers that stood for re-election. Not a single one of the former teachers in the schools at Winston and Fayetteville passed such an examination as would entitle them to first-grade certificates. Several of these teachers that had taught in the schools two and three years made such low averages that they would not have been entitled to receive even a third-grade certificate. (34 State Normal Schools. At Fayetteville in 1907, on account of the low averages, I did not recommend the re-election of any of the faculty, except I wrote the local board that I would not oppose the election of one J. G. Smith, if no better teacher could be found. Some of the teachers at Winston fell short of the required average, but their deficiency was on subjects they do not teach and will not have to teach. So by agreement with the local board they were continued on probation. At Elizabeth City all of the teachers passed satisfactory examinations. It is absurd, to me. to think of having normal teachers who are expected to train young men and women how to teach, when these normal teachers, so called, have not scholarship enough to pass a creditable examination on the common-school branches. I do not think the local boards are responsible for these incompetent teachers ever being elected in these schools. These boards have heretofore necessarily depended on the recommendations of the principals of these schools. The principals never examined the applicants, but recommended the election of such teachers as they knew personally or were well recommended to them. I therefore think your order that all teach-ers in these normals should stand a satisfactory examination under the Super-intendent of the Colored Normal Schools before they could enter upon their duties an excellent requirement, and already it is manifest that such a require-ment will soon eliminate all incompetent persons from the faculties of these institutions. It is my determination, if I remain your superintendent, to drop all these teachers next year that have failed to stand a satisfactory average examination this year, unless they do better at the next examination. Teachers who do not know how to think themselves cannot train their pupils to think. I give a few samples of questions and answers : Use the follotc-iiig words correctly in sentences: great; grate; aivfitl; offal; alter and altar. Answer : 1. The offal was at five o'clock. 2. The alter was draped in white. 3. She will altar her dress. 4. The semi-colon is used for a full pause, or change of thought. The following answers were given in history : 1. Give date of Jefferson's administration and principal events. Answer : "Jefferson's administration was in the years 1776 and principal events were decliracation of indepandance and the great war between the English and Americans." 2. Name four Americans tvho fought in the Mexican War that afterwards 'became famous through their connection ivith the Civil War. Answer : "Four Americans that fought in the Mexican War that after-wards became famous in the Civil War were Washington, Lee, Greene and Abraham Lincoln." 3. Name the last royal Governor of North Carolina. Answer : "Governor Charlie Reynolds." 4. Name two CaUnet officers from North Carolina, and during what Presi-dents' administrations did they hold CaUnet positions? Answer: "Governor Charlie Reynolds in McKinley's administration, and Governor R. B. Glenn in Rooseveler's administration." State XoraiAL Schools. 65 5. Who was the ''War Governor" of Xorth Carolina, and how many times elected:^ Answer : "George Washington was the 'War Governor' of North Carolina, and elected four times." These are only a few samples of ridiculous answers to simple, fair ques-tions. If I do nothing else, I am determined to see that none but competent teachers are allowed to teach in these schools hereafter. It is surprising the kind of appeals that have been made that I should favor the election of certain teachers in these schools. The following is one of the ridiculous appeals that have been made: There was in that city a white and a colored under-taker. The negro undertaker and his friends urged that the negroes should buy all their coffins from him. One of the negro teachers in a lodge meeting advised the negroes to buy coffins where they could get the best prices, etc. He gave good advice, but that did not seem to me a good reason to have him for a teacher in the State Normal, when I knew he was not educationally qualified. In 1S81 and 1882 I was County Superintendent of the Wake County schools, including the Raleigh schools. I examined all public-school teachers, and at least 75 per cent, of the colored teachers stood better examinations then than they have this year in the Colored Normal Schools. Why does it appear that the negro teachers have made so little progress in these twenty-five years? I think the reason is that then most of the colored teachers had been educated in Shaw University and St. Augustine Normal School, and these schools were then taught mostly by well-qualified white Northern teachers. The principal of the best colored graded school we had in Raleigh was a highly-educated white Northern woman. I am informed that all the teachers of the public schools in Charleston, S. C. are white. The Charleston public schools are considered among the best in the South. I am not advocating this policy, but it is a question that is worthy of serious consideration. A great deal of the objection to negro education arises, I believe, from its defectiveness. All the teachers now employed in these normal schools are graduates of leading colleges, and it is hoped by an extension of the course of study and the efficient instruction required that the pupils will go out far better trained and prepared for teach-ing the public schools than in the past. The industrial training is fitting the girls for better housekeepers and the boys for more careful and intelligent farming and trucking. Since the first of January, 1907, I have given most of my time and thought to the interests of the three State colored normal schools and the Croatan Normal School. I have visited these schools frequently, observed the work of the teachers, and made talks on civil government, the duties of teachers, etc. Many interesting and some perplexing questions have arisen in my mind dur-ing the time. Sometimes I have almost concluded that this appropriation was unnecessary and had not accomplished much good ; still, I am assured by many intelligent and close-observing white citizens in Elizabeth City, Fayetteville and Winston that most excellent influences have gone out from these normal schools, that they have had a most salutary effect upon the colored citizens of these communities and sections. W^hile they have not sent out as many well-qualified teachers as should have been trained during the years these schools have existed, yet there are many evidences that great good has been accomplished. Part III 5 66 State ISTokmal Schools. During the last year the work has been more efficient and satisfactory. The attendance in the normal departments has increased in all these schools. During my visits the conduct of the pupils has been commendable, and I have not seen nor heard anything that I thought derogatory to good training. The Bible is read and used at the morning exercises and its precepts impressively inculcated. As far as I have had opportunity to observe, the pupils are well behaved, polite, and seem sincerely to appreciate what the State and their teachers are doing for them. The principals of the colored schools seem to know the negro's place, and train their pupils to realize the proper relations that should exist between the races. The industrial training, while it is somewhat limited for want of fvmds and equipment, yet the girls receive practical instruction in domestic science and the boys are given valuable information in agriculture and trucking. There is a demand for these boys and girls in the sections where these schools are located. Most of the pupils are engaged in profitable employment during vacations, and many of them work mornings and evenings during the sessions to earn money to pay their expenses at school. A former railroad agent at Elizabeth City told me he had never employed better help about the depot than the boys from the Colored Normal School. REPORT OF STATE FORESTER. Chapel Hill, N. C, December 14, 1908. Hon. J. Y. Joyner, Superintendent of Public Instruction, Raleigh, N. C. Sir :—I herewith traiismit the report of the Forester regarding the worlc he has done in connection with the lands claimed by the State Board of Education. Besides this statement regarding the worli actually done, sugges-tions are given regarding certain legislation that it seems advisable should pass for future work. Trusting that same will meet with the approval of the State Board of Edu-cation, I beg to remain. Yours very truly, JOSEPH HYDE PRATT, State Geologist. REPORT ON CONDITION OF LAND OF NORTH CAROLINA. Dr. Joseph Hyde Pratt, State Geologist. Sir :—I beg to make the following report of the present extent and condition of the lands claimed by the State Board of Education : The total area of such land seems to be less than 100,000 acres. This in-cludes Angola Bay, which is the largest body of land claimed by the State Board of Education, containing about 44,000 acres; portions of Holly Shelter Swamp, estimated at 15,000 acres ; Keeders Bay, estimated at 1,000 acres ; lands claimed in Washington and Beaufort counties, 12,000 acres ; lands claimed in Hyde County, 4,000 acres ; lands claimed in Columbus Coimty, 5,000 acres lands claimed in Bladen County, 3,000 acres ; other lands, 13,000 acres. Since May 1, 1908, about three hundred acres of land have been located in Columbus County. Surveys have been begun to determine the extent of the board's holdings in Holly Shelter Swamp, Seven Creeks Swamp and Colly Swamp. It is a difficult and costly matter for the board to locate its holdings, since they are now usually small and isolated. Even after they are located, the cost of surveying them, legal costs in examining titles, and frequently suits to dispossess claimants, make the cost of obtaining a clear title much too high in proportion to the value of the property. To lessen this cost land has been offered at a fixed price to any one who would locate and survey it ; or a cer-tain proportion of its value has been offered for locating and surveying it. Several small tracts have been located and sold in this way, but on accoimt of the temporary low prices of timber during the past year it was not con-sidered advisable to actively seek to make sales. 68 State Foeestee. DRAINAGE. A drainage survey is being made of Hyde County. This may determine tlie feasibility and cost of draining Lake Mattamuslieet, the ownersliip of wbic-h is claimed by the Board of Education. It covers some 60,000 acres, and if its drainage, in whole or in part, can be cheaply effected by modern engineering means, as seems possible, it may be one of the most valuable properties of the board. In addition to this, it will be of enormous benefit to the landowners of Hyde County who border the lake, since it will facilitate the drainage of their wet lands and be of great advantage to the health and prosperity of this county. In order to defray its portion of the expense of drainage every third quarter section (160 acres) of the land drained around the edge of the lake should be set aside to be sold by the Board of Education, at or above a fixed price. A drainage survey has also been made of Angola Bay, through the instru-mentality of the North Carolina Geological and Economic Survey. The survey showed that the drainage of this swamp was perfectly practicable, and that, while the soils ai-e not rich in available lime and potash, they are suited for a wide range of crops, especially truck. Some of the holdings of the State Board are of the lowest grade of swamp lands, and it is doubtful if they can be profitably used permanently for farm-ing, even if thoroughly drained. Much land of this character in this State which has already been cut over for its timber has, on account of the lack of protection from fires, had its earning power and value as property largely destroyed. In the face of a decreasing cut of pine timber in North Carolina, the yearly cut having decreased more than 70,000,000 feet between 1900 and 1907, it would seem good policy for the State Board of Education to seek to extend and develop its timber holdings rather than to add to the already enormous area of unproductive land, which invariably occurs when the timber on nonagricultural land is cut off. It is not inappropriate to mention in this report that in connection with the educational work of the North Carolina Geological and Economic Survey twenty-one public addresses were made on forestry subjects in as many coun-ties and eight press bulletins were prepared on various phases of the forestry work. EECOMMENDATIONS. It is urgently recommended that the Legislature exclude the lands of the State Board of Education from the future operation of the statute of limita-tion. When the State was being settled there was ample reason why a bona fide homeseeker should not be dispossessed after he had built a home and made improvements on the land on which he had settled. At the present time, however, those who acquire title to State lands through this statute are not home builders. The statute is used to acquire possession of timber lands of the State Board which join private holdings, title being perfected by the pres-ence of logging equipment, lumber camps and conveyance of paper title which reduces the period necessary to perfect claim. It is impossible for the Board of Education to claim its lands in any other way than by surveying, and this is not suflacient when this statute offers such an excellent way for the board's title to be alienated by fraud.

The following list shows the libraries which have been established in the different counties of the State since 1901, when the Library Act was passed, to June 30, 1908. The State has given $10 to each original library and $5 to each supplemental library. Equal amounts have also been appropriated by the county board of education, and the same amount raised privately by the district. In many instances the district has raised more than enough to meet the requirements of the law. SUMMARY OF RURAL LIBRARIES.

Note.—Each county is entitled to six original libraries and six supplemental libraries from each biennial appropriation of $7,500. Some of the counties have not availed themselves of the opportunity, and the law pro-vides that funds not applied for on or before the 30th of November biennially, may be given to the counties meeting the original conditions, regardless of the nuniber of libraries previously established. This explains why some counties have a large number in excess of the six during some of the biennial periods. * This item does not include a considerably large amount raised locally in excess of that to meet the State's requirements.
