LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL
Chapei. Hill, N. C, October 24, 1908.
HONORAULE J. Y. 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.

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.

Part III-
REPORT OF PRINCIPAL OF SLATER SCHOOL
To the Board of Directors.
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. „ ..^ ,,

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:

REMARKS.
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.

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.

REPORT OF RURAL LIBRARIES.
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.
Total number original rural libraries 1.892

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.
