The following clipping from the Charlotte Observer of June
Oth indicates the record our boys and girls have made in the col¬
leges this year:
“STUDENTS GOOD SHOWING

“This is the time of year when the city school authorities an¬
nually congratulate themselves on the fine showing made by their
former graduates at the various colleges and universities. It is
an annual season of congratulations because never do these Char¬

standard of efficiency and thoroughness of the Charlotte schools
which are fortunate in the possession of a faculty unsurpassed
anywhere.”

voted almost his entire time to the matter of sending to the
