LETTER OF STATE, SUPERINTENDENT. 
 
 State of North Carolina, 
 Department of Public Instruction, 
 Raleigh, N. C., January 28, 1905. 
 
 To His Excellency, Robert B. Glenn, 
 
 Governor of North Carolina. 
 
 Dear Sir : — In accordance with section 70 of the Public School 
 Law, I transmit to you a copy of the report of the State Board of 
 Examiners, for your information and that of the General Assembly. 
 The report of the Superintendent of the Colored Normal Schools is 
 also attached. Very respectfully, 
 
 J. Y. Joyner, 
 Ex officio Chairman State Board of Examiners. 
 
 
REPORT OF STATE BOARD OF EXAMINERS. 
 
 Raleigh, N. C, January 28, 1905. 
 Hon. J. Y. Joyner, 
 
 State Superintendent of Public Instruction. 
 
 Dear Sir : — In compliance with the Public School Law, section 70, 
 we beg leave to make this our report of the management of the State 
 Normal Schools for the Colored Race in North Carolina. 
 
 During the past two years the board has visited and carefully in- 
 spected the Colored Normal Schools situated at Elizabeth City, Ply- 
 mouth, Goldsboro, Fayetteville, Franklinton, Winston, and Salisbury. 
 We thoroughly examined into all the conditions existing at each 
 place — the buildings, equipment, course of study, methods of teach- 
 ing, etc., and became fully convinced that the work at no place-was 
 justifying the outlay of money that the State was making, and that 
 the best interests of the colored people would be advanced by the 
 consolidation of the seven schools into not more than four stronger 
 and better equipped institutions. 
 
 We, therefore, heartily united with you and appeared before the 
 State Board of Education, urging that the consolidation recom- 
 mended be put into effect. The State Board of Education thereupon 
 abolished the schools at Plymouth, Goldsboro, and Salisbury. Upon 
 further recommendation of this board, the schools were put in charge 
 of a superintendent. 
 
 Last July a summer school of three weeks was held at Greens- 
 boro, for the teachers who are giving instruction in the normal 
 schools. This was done in compliance with the law governing these 
 normal schools. 
 
 Finally, we believe that, since these schools have been put in 
 charge of a competent superintendent who can give them the time 
 and attention necessary for their careful supervision, there is no 
 longer any need for a continuance of the State Board of Examiners. 
 We, therefore, recommend that our board be abolished. 
 
 Respectfully submitted* 
 
 M. C. S. Noble, 
 J. I. Foust, 
 F. L. Stevens,

SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT. 
 
 LETTER. 
 
 Raleigh, N. C., January 20, 1905. 
 
 TO SUPERINTENDENT J. Y. JOYNER AND PROFS. M. C, S. NOBLE, J. I. 
 
 Foust, and F. L. Stevens, 
 
 State Board of Examiners. 
 
 Gentlemen : — Complying with the request of your chairman, State 
 Superintendent Joyner, I submit a report of the past and present 
 condition of the State Normal Schools for the negro race, together 
 with such recommendations as I think should be adopted in order to 
 make those schools worthy the name they bear and of the State they 
 represent. 
 
 Very respectfully, 
 
 Charles L. Coon. 
 
 A BIT OF HISTORY. 
 
 On the 16th day of April, 1873, the State Board of Education 
 adopted a resolution requesting the friends of education in North 
 Carolina to meet in convention in the city of Raleigh on the 9th day 
 of July, 1873, for the purpose of considering and recommending such 
 measures as should be thought advisable for the promotion of educa- 
 tion in the State. The State Superintendent of Public Instruction 
 was appointed to formulate a programme. In answer to this call 
 the convention was held in the hall of the House of Representatives. 
 Hon. W. H. Battle 1 was chosen president. Papers were read by Rev. 
 B. Craven, D. D., of Trinity College; Prof. W. C. Doub, of Greens- 
 boro Female College ; Major Robert Bingham, of Bingham School ; 
 Prof. W. G. Simmons, of Wake Forest College ; John W. Norwood, 
 Esq., and Prof. A. F. Redd, of the Baptist Female Seminary. 
 
 This convention appointed a committee on resolutions, of which 
 Hon. A. S. Merrimon was chairman. The resolutions reported for 
 adoption recited the supreme importance of education, referred to 
 the alarming and deplorable general educational condition of the 
 State, and called on every true son of North Carolina to come to the 
 relief of such serious difficulties as then confronted the State. The 
 resolutions also urged at least a four months' school term, national 
 aid to the States for the promotion of education, and finally called on 
 the press and the clergy and every friend of the State to set to work 
 "to arouse the whole people to a realizing sense of the paramount 
 importance of education." Resolutions were also adopted looking to 
 
6 
 
 "the revival of the University," a compulsory school law, the prepara- 
 tion of "a practical elementary treatise on agriculture" for use in 
 the common schools, for "the formation of a State Educational Asso- 
 ciation, and for the establishment of normal schools." 
 
 The Rev. Dr. Wingate submitted the resolution in regard to normal 
 schools in the following words : • 
 
 "That in view of the low standard of scholarship in the public 
 schools, the necessity of providing well qualified teachers, and of in- 
 troducing the most approved methods of instruction into the public 
 schools, while the committee recognize the financial difficulties which 
 embarrass the subject, they earnestly recommend that this convention 
 memorialize the General Assembly of North Carolina, at its next 
 session, to establish one or more normal schools at such town or city 
 in the State as will subscribe the largest sum to aid in defraying the 
 expenses of establishing and maintaining such school or schools ; and 
 that there shall be connected with such schools primary and inter- 
 mediate departments, in which all the children of the vicinity shall 
 be admtted and instructed free of charge." 
 
 In addition to the persons already named as taking part in this 
 convention, the proceedings show that Gen. W. R. Cox, Governor Tod 
 R. Caldwell, John H. Mills, Thomas M. Argo, Joseph W. Holden, Rev. 
 Dr. Neil McKay ,and many others prominent in all walks of life were 
 active participants in the deliberations. 
 
 This bit of our educational history is referred to to show that the 
 leading men of our State at the time of its deepest financial, political 
 and educational trials recognized the necessity for normal schools, 
 and gave such reasons for their establishment as all intelligent people 
 must recognize of first important in any effective system of public 
 education. 
 
 In former times Archibald D. Murphy, Joseph Caldwell, and Cal- 
 vin H. Wiley and others had plead for the establishment of normal 
 schools for the training of teachers for the public schools. It is 
 significant in the day of our greatest social peril, at the time all our 
 State institutions were in chaos, there should arise new leaders tak- 
 ing up the cause of popular education and pleading for the training 
 of teachers for the children with as much fervor as Wiley or Caldwell 
 had ever done. > 
 
 But no normal schools were established as a result of the meeting 
 in 1873. But teachers' institutes, aided by the Peabody Fund, had 
 begun to be held as early as 1872, notably those at Ellendale, Alex- 
 ander County ; at Pine woods and Lexington, Davidson County ; at 
 Ashboro, Randolph County, and at Wilmington. All these institutes 
 were conducted for white teachers. In 1874 the North Carolina. 
 Educational Association again discussed the education of teachers 
 and resolved to conduct an educational campaign in the interest of 
 popular education. A committee was appointed to suggest improve- 
 
nients in the public school law and appear before the Legislature in 
 the furtherance of its suggestions. 
 
 THE BEGINNING. 
 
 The Legislature of 187G-'77, on the recommendation of Governor 
 Vance and of educational associations and leading citizens, passed a 
 law looking to the training of teachers for the public schools. This 
 law carried an appropriation of $4,000, and provided that $2,000 of it 
 should be spent for a summer normal school at the University of 
 North Carolina, and that $2,000 be used to establish a normal school 
 for the teaching and training of young men of the colored race be- 
 tween the ages of fifteen and twenty-five. The law left it to the 
 State Board of Education to select a suitable place for this first col- 
 ored normal school and to provide for its proper conduct. I ask 
 your attention to a brief history of this and the other colored normal 
 schools established from time to time since then. 
 
 The Fayetteville Normal School was begun on the first Monday in 
 September, 1877, with Robert Harris as principal. The building in 
 which the school was conducted did not belong to the State, nor has 
 the State ever acquired any such property at Fayetteville, though 
 it has been twenty-eight years since a so-called State Normal School 
 was opened and since conducted there. A local board of managers, 
 consisting of Messrs. J. H. Myrover, E. J. Lilly, and W. C. Troy, was 
 appointed by the State Board of Education, an arrangement some- 
 what similar to the present plan of management. 
 
 This first normal school continued for a term of eight months. 
 Students, male and female, between the ages of fifteen and twenty- 
 five, were admitted and those living at a distance were refunded 
 their railroad fare. Books and tuition were furnished free. Appli- 
 cants for admission were required "to pass a good examination in 
 easy reading, spelling, writing and the fundamental rules of arith- 
 metic," and furnish evidences of good moral character. The stand- 
 ard set twenty-eight years ago for admission is still the standard for 
 admission to the colored normal schools of the present day ! That 
 this standard cannot now be raised simply shows that the rural negro 
 public school of to-day is doing about the same work as it did twenty- 
 eight years ago. 
 
 All who received the benefits of the school were required to give a 
 pledge to teach three years after leaving. The course of study pre- 
 scribed by the State Board was as follows : 
 
 "Junior Class — First Year. — Reading, Articulation, Spelling, De- 
 fining, Dictation, Phonetics, Elementary Grammar, Primary Geogra- 
 phy, Mental and Written Arithmetic, Writing, Drawing, Rudiments 
 of Music, Theory and Practice of Teaching and Making and Keeping 
 School Register. 
 
8 
 
 "Middle Class — Second Year. — United States History, Advanced 
 Geography, Practical Grammar, Orthography and Etymology, Mental 
 and Written Arithmetic completed, Penmanship, Map Drawing, Com- 
 position, Spelling, Vocal Music, School Management and Discipline, 
 Declamation. 
 
 "Senior Class — Third Year. — Universal History, Physiology, As- 
 tronomy, Algebra, Book-keeping, Grammar completed, Analysis, Arith- 
 metic reviewed, Geography reviewed, Spelling, Dictation, Composi- 
 tion, Oratory, Manners and Morals." 
 
 Remembering the standard for entrance, it is difficult to see how 
 such a course could have been successfully taught to nearly one hun- 
 dred normal pupils "in a house 75x35 feet, two stories high," by three 
 teachers, who also had charge of "the primary and grammar schools 
 held in the same building." Yet the reports of that first year seem 
 to leave no doubt that it was done ! 
 
 The real difficulties in the way of this first Normal School were the 
 following : Attempting to have a normal school teaching, the theory 
 and practice of education in three years, beginning where the present 
 public schools call their fourth or fifth grade ; the poverty of the 
 pupils, which resulted in very irregular attendance ; and, finally, the 
 poor equipment, both as to teachers, library, furniture and buildings. 
 And all these are present-day difficulties. 
 
 By authority of chapter 54, Laws of 1879, a "preparatory depart- 
 ment" was provided for the Fayetteville school. What the course of 
 study of that department was can easily be imagined by reference to 
 the entrance requirements already mentioned. The attendance for 
 1878-1879 was 95 ; for 1879-1880 it was 106, more than half of whom 
 were in the preparatory department. 
 
 On October 24, 1880, Robert Harris died. Fie was born at Fayette- 
 ville, in 1839, of free parents ; he was educated in Cleveland, Ohio, to 
 which place his parents had moved in his youth. At the close of the 
 Civil War Harris came to Virginia as a teacher of his race, and later 
 to North Carolina. He was much respected by everybody and seems 
 to have had the good of his race much at heart. He was succeeded 
 at Faj^etteville by his assistant, Charles W. Chesnutt, whom you will 
 doubtless remember as the author of a number of well-known books 
 recently issued, among them "The Conjure Woman." Mr. Chesnutt 
 continued with the school through the year 1882-'83, when he was 
 succeeded by E. E. Smith, the present principal. 
 
 From the principal's report for 1880-'81 I find that eight persons 
 completed the course of the Senior Class, ten completed the Middle 
 Class, and twenty the Junior. The principal described the prepara- 
 tory department as follows : "The Preparatory Department consisted 
 partly of children, who are admitted at twelve years of age and up- 
 wards, but principally of teachers and older pupils, mostly from the 
 country, who were not prepared to enter the Normal Department. 
 
9 
 
 During this session the Preparatory Department was mainly under 
 the instruction of the normal school teachers, experience having 
 taught that it is not best to leave the recitations entirely in the hands 
 of normal students." 
 
 The total enrollment of the school for 1880-'81 was 109, only thirty- 
 eight of whom were in the normal school proper. It was also said 
 that "the present accommodations of the school are quite limited, and 
 a suitable building is badly needed." I make these quotations from 
 the report of the school for 1880 and 1881 to show how similar were 
 conditions then and now. No suitable buildings, no equipment with 
 which to work, and a low standard of scholarship prevailing every- 
 where. 
 
 FOUR NEW SCHOOLS. 
 
 The Legislature of 1881 established four additional normal schools 
 for colored teachers and four for white teachers, increasing the 
 annual appropriation for normal instruction from $4,000 to .$8,000. 
 The white normal schools, four in number, were located by the State 
 Board of Education at Elizabeth City, Wilson, Newton and Franklin. 
 The University Normal School was continued. These five normal 
 schools were held four weeks each, and were each in charge of a 
 superintendent and a local board of managers. The four additional 
 normal schools for colored teachers were organized on about the same 
 plan as those for white teachers, except that the State Board of Edu- 
 cation thought they should continue for a longer time than four weeks 
 and should provide for "drill in the public-school studies with 
 methods of teaching, school organization and government." The first 
 session of these four schools continued for about five months each. 
 Salisbury reported 49 students, Plymouth 33 and Franklinton 67 on 
 the opening day ; all three schools opening in October, 1881. The 
 total revenue of each of these four schools for the year 1881-1882 was 
 only $705 ; $500 being derived for each from the State appropriation 
 and $205 from the Peabody Fund. This small revenue was only suf- 
 ficient to employ a principal and one or two assistants at small sala- 
 ries for about five months. The school at Plymouth opened in a 
 house with "two recitation-rooms, each 25x15 feet, and a studying 
 and entertaining room 50x25 feet." The principal of the Plymouth 
 school, A. Hicks, reported that, during the first session, the school 
 used "Quackenbos' History, Davies' and Sanford's Arithmetics, Na- 
 tional Readers, Maury's and Mitchell's Geographies, Reed and Kel- 
 logg's and Harvey's Grammars, Webster's and Worcester's Dictiona- 
 ries, National Speller, and Payson's Copy Book." It was said that 
 "one day in every week was devoted to general exercises." It was 
 also reported by the principal that "our method of teaching differed 
 greatly from the ordinary way of imparting instruction. Students 
 were not required to overtax their brain by committing everything as 
 
10' 
 
 given in text-books, but were trained in such way that they could 
 very easily recite a lesson by using their own composition. Every 
 lesson that could be placed on the blackboards was recited from 
 them ; consequently everything was made practical and a greater 
 progress made." The enrollment was 91 and the average attendance 
 41. It does not appear that the students were divided into classes 
 during this year, but at New Bern some attempt at classification 
 appears to have been made, under the principal, George H. White. 
 The 63 pupils were divided into Middle, Junior, Sub-Junior, and Un- 
 classified. The "unclassified class was one of emergency, being com- 
 posed of pupils who came in late in the term and were unable to enter 
 any of the other classes proper. They were taught according to each 
 one's grade of scholarship." This school had a library of 98 volumes, 
 some maps and charts and a rented organ. The "current expenses" 
 for the first year were $30. The Rev. A. A. Scott was paid $10 for 
 ten lectures on sacred history, and $7.50 was paid for the closing 
 exercises. 
 
 The first session of the Frauklinton Normal enrolled 65 pupils, only 
 eight of whom were teachers. The principal, M. A. Hopkins, ac- 
 counted for the small number of teachers attending by saying that 
 "many were too poor to attend," that "many were too proud to show 
 their ignorance," and that "many were too wise in their conceit to 
 attend." 
 
 The first report of J. O. Crosby, principal of the Salisbury Normal, 
 says "the directors found no easy task to secure a suitable house in a 
 desirable locality, and the building finally selected was incommodi- 
 ous." Mention is also made of the inability of many candidates for 
 admission to comply with the scholarship requirements and the great 
 lack of equipment. 
 
 During the year 1881-1882 the New Bern school added natural phil- 
 osophy, physiology, chemistry, rhetoric, and book-keeping to the 
 course previously taught. The public school-house of that town was 
 placed at the disposal of the normal school. The building was said 
 to be 60x30 feet, two stories high, and commodious for 300 or 400 
 pupils ! It would now be interesting to know how this could be. 
 
 The enrollment of the Fayetteville school for 1882-'83 was 105, only 
 35 of whom were classified as normal students. Two pupils were 
 graduated. Poverty and other causes seem to have reduced the en- 
 rollment in the senior class and in all the other normal classes. Very 
 few students were then financially able to enter the first normal 
 class and remain continuously until the completion of the course. 
 This condition still prevails. Then as now the county superintend- 
 ents seem to have had very low standards for granting certificates to 
 the colored teachers. This operated then and operates now against 
 the normal schools. Not many will attend these schools when they 
 can easily obtain a certificate to teach without doing so. The prin- 
 
11 
 
 cipal of the Salisbury Normal School in his report for 1882- '83, after 
 reciting the conditions of admission to be the ability "to read and 
 write well and to understand the fundamental operations of arithme- 
 tic and the rudiments of English grammar," says he suspended these 
 requirements as to four pupils out of an enrollment of ninety-two 
 and an average attendance of thirty-eight. The three years' course 
 of study was reported to be the following : 
 
 "Junior Year. — Spelling and Defining, Reading, Writing, Arithme- 
 tic, Grammar, Composition, Geography, Map-Drawing, U. S. His- 
 tory, Sounds of Marked Letters. Theory and Practice — Model Class. 
 
 "Middle Year. — Reading, Arithmetic Complete, Geography Com- 
 plete, TT. S. History Complete, N. C. History Complete, Grammar and 
 Analysis, Spelling and Impromptu Composition, Algebra, Physiology, 
 Philosophy, Theory and Practice — Model Class. 
 
 "Senior Year. — Algebra, Geometry, General History, Drawing. 
 Composition and Rhetoric, Elementary Chemistry, Elocution, Philoso- 
 phy. Botany. Book-keeping, Essay, Theory and Practice from Text- 
 book." 
 
 It is hardly necessary to call your attention again to the practical 
 impossibility of making such a course effective in three years with 
 such a standard of admission as was set, to say nothing of utter 
 lack of equipment in teachers, library and apparatus necessary to 
 give such pretentious course. But somebody's duty it was to have 
 made those normal courses of study consistent, and adapted to then 
 existing conditions. 
 
 During the year 1882-'83, A. Hicks, the principal of the Plymouth 
 Normal, died, and was succeeded by Henry P. Cheatham. At the 
 time of his death Principal Hicks was a member of the Board of 
 County Commissioners of Washington County. He had been a mem- 
 ber of the Legislature of 1881, which increased the appropriation for 
 normal instruction. It is said he was elected a County Commis- 
 sioner of Washington County by the Democrats. 
 
 i 
 
 During the year 1883-'84 the Peabody Fund of about .$205 a year 
 for each one of the five colored normals was withdrawn, except $100 
 spent at New Bern and $189 at Salisbury. This reduced the total 
 resources of the five normals to about $4,300 a year. In his report 
 for 1884-1885 and 1885 and 1886. page 14, State Superintendent 
 Finger said: "We are now applying four thousand dollars ($4,000) 
 per annum for normal schools for the colored people. Two thousand 
 dollars ($2,000) of this is directed by statute, section 2G51 of The 
 Code, to be applied at one place, and it is applied at Fayetteville ; 
 the balance, $2,000, is directed by statute, section 2652 of The Code, 
 to be applied to not less than four schools, and it is applied at Salis- 
 bury, Franklinton, Plymouth, and New Bern, $500 to each, a sum 
 entirely inadequate to support them. Rather than have one central 
 school, I think it better for the colored people that something be added 
 
12 
 
 to the appropriations to make the schools they now have more 
 efficient." 
 
 INCREASED APPROPRIATION AND EXPANSION OF 
 
 CURRICULUM. 
 
 The Legislature of 1887, chapter 408, Laws of 1887, in view of the 
 above recommendation increased the appropriation to the colored 
 normals from $4,000 to $8,000, making the resources of Fayetteville 
 $2,000 a year and each of the other four schools $1,500 a year. The 
 most immediate effect of this increase of appropriation is to be seen 
 in the courses of study of these schools as reported for 1886-'87 and 
 1887-'88. The Fayetteville course of study was enlarged by adding 
 Latin, botany, chemistry and psychology, together with lectures on 
 history, biography, pedagogics and topics of the day. The whole 
 course was now five years, beginning at about' the fourth grade of 
 the elementary school. There were only three teachers ! The Senior 
 course is interesting, being reported as embracing rhetoric, algebra, 
 four books of geometry, book-keeping, astronomy, Latin, Caesar, 
 theory and. practice of teaching, chemistry, psychology, botany, draw- 
 ing and vocal music. The Senior class of 1886-'87, consisting of four- 
 teen members, was reported to have completed this course. During 
 the year 1887-'88 the Fayetteville course of study was still further 
 enlarged. The preparatory department was expanded to three years 
 and the Senior normal (third class) included Latin, algebra, rhetoric, 
 astronomy, book-keeping, school economy, botany, theory and prac- 
 tice, civil government, and moral philosophy. The faculty still re- 
 mained the same, being composed of a principal and two assistants. 
 The principal speaking of the course of study in his report for 1887-'88 
 says : "The course of study has been raised from year to year to 
 meet the demand of the steadily advancing teaching force of our 
 public schools, and the popular sentiment everywhere to be observed 
 in favor of more proficient teachers." 
 
 In 1887-'88 the Franklinton Normal claimed to "offer a school for 
 thoroughness in studies, as well as scope in English studies, second to 
 none in the State." The course as outlined embraced four years 
 with three regular teachers and one teacher employed for six and a 
 half months. The Senior class studied book-keeping, English litera- 
 ture, astronomy, geometry, botany, zoology. Greek. Latin, natural 
 philosophy, mental and moral culture, logic, vocal music, and the 
 history and science of education. The standard for admission em- 
 braced what would now be called fourth grade work. 
 
 The catalogue and circulars of the Salisbury Normal for 1887-'88 
 offered "advantages equal to that of any other school in the State." 
 Its course of study was four years in length. The first year was "pre- 
 paratory." The Senior year embraced in its course of study such 
 
13 
 
 subjects as algebra, general history, composition and rhetoric, draw- 
 ing, trigonometry, botany, chemistry, book-keeping, theory and prac- 
 tice, elocution. Latin, school organization, methods of culture, and 
 
 school law. It is interesting to note among other inconsistencies that 
 geometry was not taught at all, though trigonometry was provided 
 for. The faculty consisted of three teachers. 
 
 The Plymouth Normal School advertised a four years' course of 
 study very similar to the course of the Fayetteville, Franklinton, and 
 Salisbury schools, the Senior year embracing algebra, English and 
 American literature, general history, composition, rhetoric, logic, 
 geometry, Latin, natural philosophy, book-keeping, and pedagogics. 
 The faculty consisted of only three teachers. 
 
 During the summer of 1887 the school at New Bern was moved to 
 Goldsboro and was in charge of L. I*. Berry for 1887-'88. The records 
 for the year are very meagre, but no doubt it was conducted on lines 
 very much like those of the other schools. 
 
 It may be interesting to note here that the Legislature of 1885 dis- 
 continued the University Summer Normal School and established 
 summer normal schools for white teachers at Washington, Asheville, 
 Boone, and Winston, dividing among them the $2,000 heretofore 
 given to the University school. The summer normal schools for 
 white teachers at Elizabeth City. Wilson, Newton, and Franklin were 
 retained. The State by this act and the Act of 1887 provided for 
 spending $8,000 a year for training colored teachers and $4,000 a 
 year for white teachers, unless we consider the money spent on the 
 normal department established at the University in the fall of 1885 
 as an additional sum. 
 
 Such conditions as have been described above remained until 1889. 
 The Legislature of 1889, chapter 201, Laws of 1889, provided that 
 the $4,000 heretofore spent for the summer normals at Winston. 
 Franklin, and other towns should be expended to employ two com- 
 petent men, under the direction and supervision of the State Super- 
 intendent, to hold institutes throughout the State in addition to the 
 county institutes that were then already provided for by law. This 
 appropriaion was so used until July 1. 1891. when it was turned over 
 to the normal school at Greensboro. The work of Dr. Charles D. 
 Mclver and of Dr. Edwin A. Alderman resulted from the passage of 
 the law referred to above. And the State Normal College for Women 
 at Greensboro is directly attributable to the educational awakening 
 they created during their three years and two months of service. But 
 I can only refer to the provisions made for the training of white 
 teachers. 
 
 INDUSTRIAL EDUCATION. 
 
 The reports of the Fayetteville school for 1889-'90 show that such 
 a thing as industrial education or manual training had not yet 
 
14 
 
 gamed a foothold. The Senior course of this school seems to have 
 been the subject of still more expansion than ever before, for, during 
 this year, >Sallust, Cicero, Greek and other subjects were added. The 
 course of the Plymouth Normal was also enlarged, political economy 
 being taught for the first time. But very little equipment and no 
 teachers were added. 
 
 In the report of the Goldsboro Normal for 1888-'89, the principal 
 being L. P. Berry, the subject of manual training for these schools is 
 first mentioned. Principal Berry says : "Encouraged by benevolent 
 friends and the faithful efforts of the teachers, we were enabled to 
 organize an Industrial Department ; sewing and needle-work for the 
 females, under the instruction of the lady teachers ; carpentry and 
 the use of tools for the males, under the superintendency of Mr. A. 
 M. Smith. This new department, though in its infancy, has made 
 commendable progress." The principal of the school for 1889-'90, S. 
 B. Pride, seems to have continued the industrial work begun by his 
 predecessor. And such work appears also to have been begun at the 
 Salisbury school during 1889-'90, by the principal, J. O. Crosby, espe- 
 cially work in carpentry and dress-making. 
 
 CONSOLIDATION CONSIDERED. 
 
 On September 11. 1889. a normal school for the Croatan Indians 
 was begun and continued during the year by Ezra Bander, A. M. 
 The Croatans became divided into two religious factions and this 
 crippled the school-work during the year. It seems this school was 
 originally established in 1887, but no report of it was made until 
 1889. 
 
 In his biennial report for 1890-'91 and 1891 -'92, State Superintend- 
 ent Finger first mentions the question of consolidating the colored 
 normal schools in the following language : "The normal schools for the 
 colored people and the Crotans have been so successful that I have 
 no recommendation to make as to any changes. The six schools for 
 the colored people do need more money to enable them to reach more 
 enlarged usefulness. The colored people have for some years been con- 
 sidering whether it would not be better to have a reduction in the 
 number of these schools, and so have more efficient and more ex- 
 tended instruction. I doubt whether the time for that step lias yet 
 arrived, but I think it is to be desired in the not very distant future.*' 
 
 CHANGES. 
 
 The Legislature of 1891 discontinued the $2,000 animal appropria- 
 tion to the Fayetteville school and put it on an equality with the 
 other colored normals as to revenue. This Legislature also removed 
 the school at Franklinton to Warrenton. Through the State Super- 
 
15 
 
 intendent some Peabody money was again secured for the normals, 
 beginning in 1891. But this source of revenue was limited, only 
 about $250 being given to any one school. The number of teachers 
 at all the schools remained the same, about three in number. But 
 the Plymouth school added psychology to its course of study during 
 the year 1891-'92 ! 
 
 ANOTHER SCHOOL ESTABLISHED. 
 
 On January 1, 1892, a new normal school was established in ac- 
 cordance with a law enacted by the Legislature of 1891. Instead of 
 decreasing the number of these schools, as the State Superintendent 
 seems to have thought should soon be done, the Legislature added 
 one more school and made no provision for buildings or equipment. 
 Beyond about $1,500, this school had no revenues, so it was in the 
 same precarious financial condition with all the other schools of its 
 kind. I refer to the Elizabeth City school. Its first session was con- 
 ducted by the principal, P. W. Moore, and one assistant. 
 
 The report of the Goldsboro school for 1891-'92 shows that it had 
 changed principals and "raised the school curriculum." Reference 
 is also made in the report of the year showing a continuation of its 
 industrial department. If we are to rely on the reports of all these 
 schools for 1891-'92 and the preceding years all of them were enjoy- 
 ing unprecedented prosperity and were becoming better known and 
 more highly appreciated. One thing common to them all I have not 
 yet mentioned — "the lectures by prominent citizens" to the students 
 during the year. This seems to have been a very widespread evil. 
 Then, each school also had its commencement ; its literary society or 
 lyceum, and as much parade in the local papers as could be obtained. 
 
 STILL ANOTHER NORMAL ESTABLISHED. 
 
 Perhaps enough has been given of the history of these schools. It 
 would be useless to mention the constant change of principals and 
 teachers. But some other facts should, perhaps, be noted. The 
 Legislature of 1893. again established a normal school at Franklin- 
 ton, with J. A. Savage as principal, and. discontinued the one at War- 
 renton. The same Legislature established the normal department 
 for white teachers at the Cullowhee High School in Jackson County, 
 appropriating $1,500 annually for that purpose. The Legislature of 
 1895, chapter three hundred and ninety-three. Laws of 1895, passed 
 an act making it the duty of the State Board of Education to estab- 
 lish another colored normal school at Winston, appropriating $1,000 
 a year for the same on condition that $1,000 additional should be 
 raised by the local board each year. This school was organized as 
 an industrial and normal school, with S. G. Atkins as principal. It 
 
16 
 
 seems that at the heginning the normal course of this school did not 
 attempt more than the public school studies. The State now had 
 seven normal schools for colored teachers and made an annual appro- 
 priation of $10,000 to them all, or an average of less than $1,500 each. 
 The Legislature of 1897 increased the appropriation to the colored 
 normal schools from $10,000 a year to $14,000, making the revenue of 
 each about $2,000 outside of a few hundred dollars contributed by 
 the Peabody Board. 
 
 CONSOLIDATION RECOMMENDED. 
 
 In his report for 1896-'97 and 1897-'98, State Superintendent 
 Mebane said : "The results that I see from our Colored Normal 
 Schools are not satisfactory to me. I find that a great deal of the 
 work done is not thorough and is not practical. I find that the 
 pupils have a smattering of many subjects, and do not know thor- 
 oughly and well any one subject. I find great haste to get away 
 from arithmetic,, geography, spelling, and English' grammar, in order 
 to study Latin, algebra and other higher studies. I would not for a 
 moment find any objection to the higher studies if the lower studies 
 are mastered first." 
 
 Superintendent Mebane recommended in the same biennial report 
 that the State Board of Examiners be required to make a course of 
 study for the normal schools and be given complete control of them. 
 He also strongly recommended, approved by Dr. J. L. M. Curry, then 
 Agent of the Peabody Board, the consolidation of the seven schools 
 into three. This was not done, and Dr. Curry withdrew from sev- 
 eral of the schools the support the Peabody Fund was then giving. 
 
 EXAMINERS' COURSE OF STUDY. 
 
 The Legislature of 1899 placed the power of making the course 
 of study for the normal schools in the hands of the State Board of 
 Examiners. This course of study, adopted in 1899 and revised in 
 1901, was the following : 
 
 First Year. — Arithmetic (5). English Grammar (3), Composition 
 (2), Reading (5), U. S. History (3), Geography (2), Drawing (2), 
 Writing (2), Spelling (5), Vocal Music (15 minutes each day). 
 
 Notp:. — The figures refer to the number of forty-minute recitations 
 a week, except spelling, which was limited to recitations of twenty 
 minutes in length. Twenty-five recitations a week were required in 
 all classes. 
 
 Second Year. — Arithmetic (5), English Grammar (3), Composition 
 (2), Reading and Civil Government (5), U, S. History (3), Geog- 
 raphy (2), Drawing (2), Spelling (5), Writing (1), Vocal Music 
 (15 minutes each day). 
 
17 
 
 Third Year — Fall Term. — Algebra (3), Arithmetic (2), Composi- 
 tion (3), English Grammar (3), Heading and English Literature (5), 
 North Carolina History (5), Physiology (2), Spelling (5). 
 
 Third Year — Spring Term, — Algebra (3), Arithmetic (2), English 
 Grammar (2), Composition (3), Reading and English Literature 
 (5), General History, (3), Methods of Teaching (2), History of 
 Education (3), Physical Geography (2), Spelling (5). 
 
 Fourth Year. — Nature Study, General History, Algebra, English 
 Literature, Methods of Teaching, History of Education, Physical 
 Geography, Review of the Common School Branches. 
 
 The requirements for entrance were fixed at about what is re- 
 quired for the completion of the fourth grade of the present State 
 course of study for the public schools. But even after its adoption, 
 the principal of the Franklinton Normal, in his report for 1899-1900 
 declared that "we should establish a course of lectures on the Science 
 of Government, the Philosophy of History, the Pressing Needs of the 
 Negro and Prerequisites to Teach. Two hundred dollars will cover 
 such a course." The principal of the Salisbury Normal reported, for 
 1899-1900, that "the attendance was less than in former years, due, I 
 think, to some extent, to a misunderstanding on the part of some of 
 our former students and patrons regarding the purpose and scope 
 of the new course prescribed by the State Board for the Colored Nor- 
 mal Schools. : - : * * At the beginning there was much complaining, 
 but after the first two months students not only became satisfied, 
 but delighted, with the change in the course of instruction." 
 
 In his biennial report for 1900-'01 and 1901-'02, State Superintend- 
 ent Joyner said that "we have made many and grievous mistakes in 
 the education of the negro. We may expect to make more. We can 
 correct these mistakes not by decreasing the quantity of his educa- 
 tion, but rather by improving the quality of it : not by destroying the 
 means of his education, but rather by directing it in proper channels. 
 All too often has his education been the tragedy of the blind leading 
 the blind." In the same report he urged the consolidation of the 
 seven negro normal schools into three. The Legislature of 1903 did 
 not consolidate these schools, but put them and the annual appro- 
 priation of $14,000 for their maintenance entirely under the control 
 of the State Board of Education and the State Board of Examiners. 
 
 CONSOLIDATION. 
 
 During the summer of 1903 the State Board of Education, acting 
 on the recommendation of State Superintendent Joyner and that of 
 the State Board of Examiners, consolidated the seven normal schools 
 into four schools, locating them at Fayetteville, Franklinton. Eliza- 
 beth City, and Winston. During the school year of 1903-'04 the 
 State Board of Examiners visited these Colored Normal Schools, 
 
18 
 
 examined closely into their work, and in further compliance with the 
 law held a summer school of three weeks' duration at Greensboro, 
 July, 1904, for the training of the teachers composing the faculties of 
 these schools. 
 
 In order to unify and improve the work done at these schools, the 
 State Board of Education, on the recommendation of the State Board 
 of Examiners, appointed a superintendent to take charge of the four 
 schools, whose duty it should be to try to make their work more 
 efficient by personal supervision and direction. 
 
 THE WORK OF THE SUPERINTENDENT. 
 
 What has already been said gives briefly the past condition of the 
 colored normal schools of the State. Mj work as superintendent of 
 these schools began on August 15, 1904. The first thing I did was to 
 study their history with the results above recounted. I then began 
 work on a new course of study, somewhat more definite and simple 
 than the course in operation up to the school year 1904-'05. That 
 course was submitted to your board and approved. It reads as fol- 
 lows :

 slightly modified to suit local conditions, carrying out in detail the 
 course of study, as best we can, considering the difficulties which I 
 set forth later on :

 PRIMARY SCHOOL COURSE OF STUDY. 
 
 It is necessary on account of the poor preparation of those who ap- 
 ply for entrance to the classes of these normal schools to have a good 
 primary school in connection with each normal. I have attempted to 
 organize such schools for that reason and also for the reason that such 
 a school will be necessary in the proper training of teachers. Most of 
 the colored public schools of the State at present should embrace 
 only the first four grades. It will be necessary to have such a school 
 in which candidates for graduation from these normal schools can 
 be required to teach successfully prior to graduation. I have, there- 
 fore, also made a course of study for the primary schools. These pri- 
 mary schools have been organized with very little additional cost to 
 the State, by co-operation with the local school authorities. The pri- 
 mary course of study reads as follows : 
 
 1. READING : 
 
 a. Phonics — spelling and writing. 
 
 &. Holmes' First Reader (third month), Holbrook's Hiawatha 
 Primer (Geography), Claxton's Grimm's Fairy Stories (History). 
 
 2. Language : 
 
 a. The Story (oral only). 
 
 6. Copying by sentences and paragraphs. 
 
 c. Dictation by sentences and paragraphs. 
 
 Teachers should use the readers for this work. The copying and 
 dictation must not take the sentence out of its place in the para- 
 graph. The relation of sentence and paragraph must always be 
 retained. 
 
 3. Drawing : 
 
 o. Permit and encourage children to draw live objects, such as 
 they desire. 
 
 &. Let the writing be introduced by means of drawing. 
 c. Use Book 1, Normal Drawing. 
 
 4. Arithmetic ; See second year. 
 
 5. History : See Reading. 
 
 6. Geography : 
 
 a. See Reading. 
 
 f). Let the children have a garden and by that means study the 
 life histories of at least four common plants. Let the location deter- 
 mine what plants are studied. Plants that furnish food, clothing 
 or shelter will be most interesting to children. The life histories of 
 
24 
 
 some animals should also be studied. The moth, the butterfly, the 
 toad and any animals which furnish food or clothing will be inter- 
 esting. 
 
 SECOND YEAR. 
 
 1. READING : 
 
 a. Phonics — spelling and writing; Harrington, Part 1, pp. 20-40; 
 also words from other subjects.

 (History), McMurry's Robinson Crusoe (Geography). 
 
 2. Language; See first year. 
 
 3. Drawing ; See first year. 
 
 i 
 
 4. ARITHMETIC ; 
 
 a. Counting 1-100, using real things, 
 ft. Notation and numeration, 1-1000. 
 c. The thirty-six addition facts. 
 
 The teacher should use Colaw and Ell wood's Primary Arithmetic, 
 pp. 1-109, omitting pp. 66-76 and pp. 1-6. 
 
 5. History ; See Reading. 
 
 6. Geography : 
 
 a. Let the children have a garden. See first year. 
 1). Children learn direction and get ideas of distance, form, color. 
 See Drawing Work.

 sons, should be learned and discussed in connection with the weather 
 chart.

 ers, Eggleston's Great Americans, and Montgomery's Beginners' 
 American History helpful books. 
 
26

 a. Use Home Geography in Tarr and McMurry's Geography 1. 
 
 l>. Continue to study life histories of some common plants and ani- 
 mals by means of the school garden. 
 
 c. Begin to study Maury's Elementary latter part of year. 
 
 Teachers should use Tarr and McMurry's Geography 1 for supple- 
 mentary work. 
 
 The Practice School will be in charge of a supervising teacher, 
 working under the Superintendent and the local Principal. The reg- 
 ular normal teachers and the fourth-year normal pupils will assist 
 in the teaching. The daily programmes will be made by the Superin- 
 tendent to suit local needs and conditions. 
 
 SETS OF BOOKS. 
 
 In organizing these normal schools I found that very few of the 
 pupils had done any reading of real literature or were acquainted 
 with the books in the State Course of Study, which they will soon 
 be called upon to teach. For the use of the fourth-year normal 
 classes at all the schools I had the following sets of books relating 
 to literature and geography bought after consultation with the local 
 boards, so that this year's graduates could become familiar with the 
 reading books of the primary grades : 
 
 12 Baldwin's Fairy Stories and Fables. 
 
 12 Guerber's Story of the Thirteen Colonies. 
 
 12 Pratt's Legends of the Red Children. 
 
 (American Book Company.) 
 
 6 Tarr and McMurry's Geography I. 
 6 Tarr and McMurry's Geography II. 
 G Tarr and McMurry's Geography III. 
 12 McMurry's Robinson Crusoe. 
 12 Moulton's Bible Stories (Old Testament). 
 12 Moulton's Bible Stories (New Testament). 
 12 Cook's Story of Ulysses. 
 
 (Macmillan Co.) 
 12 Holbrook's Hiawatha Primer. 
 
 (Houghton, Mifflin & Co.) 
 12 Claxton's Grimm's Fairy Stories. 
 
 (B. F. Johnson Publishing Co.) 
 The total list price of the above books is $55.60. 
 
 OTHER WORK OF SUPERVISION. 
 
 I shall omit mentioning hundreds of details that I have given at- 
 tention, to in the organization of these schools. I soon found, how- 
 ever, that for many reasons, I could not do very much supervision 
 
27 
 
 work this year, unless I bad something to put in the hands of the 
 teachers to direct them in my absence, and to be the basis of my 
 work while I could be present with them. To make myself more 
 nearly present at all the schools all the time and to carry on effec- 
 tive supervision work, I resolved to prepare teachers' manuals on 
 the several subjects of the course of elementary instruction, contain- 
 ing directions how to teach these subjects. I have completed most of 
 this work. One of these manuals lias been printed. It has been my 
 hope in preparing these manuals to be of use to all the elementary 
 teachers of the State. 
 
 FINANCES. 
 
 The total revenue of these four schools is $13,000. According to an 
 act of the Legislature of 1895, the Winston school gets $1,000 for the 
 use of its plant and equipment, provided the local board raises a 
 like amount. I have carefully estimated the cost of these schools for 
 this school year of nine months. The Elizabeth City school will cost 
 $3,442, Winston $3,000, Fayetteville $2,660, and Franklinton $2,360. 
 The total cost will be $11,462. On September 1, 1904, these schools 
 had a balance to their credit of $4,570.11. Thus it will be seen that 
 something can be saved this year for permanent improvements. I do 
 not think it wise to spend any more money on these schools than is 
 now being spent, until better equipment can be provided 
 
 The following table will show the amount the State has spent since 
 1877 on these colored normal schools : 
 
 From June 30, 1877, to July 1, 18S1 (one school) $ 8,000 
 
 From July 1, 1881, to June 30, 1887 (five schools) 24,000 
 
 From July 1, 1887, to June 30, 1892 (five schools) 40,000 
 
 From July 1, 1892, to June 30, 1895 (six schools) 24,000 
 
 From July 1, 1895, to June 30, 1897 (seven schools) 20,000 
 
 From July 1, 1897, to June 30, 1903 (seven schools) 84,000 
 
 From July 1, 1903, to June 30, 1905 (four schools) 28,000 
 
 Total expenditures, 28 years $228,000 
 
 The above amount has been spent almost entirely for teachers' 
 salaries, and does not include the Peabody Fund. The State, it is 
 safe to say, on account of the inadequate equipment of the buildings 
 in which these schools have been taught and the lack of supervision 
 has sustained a net loss of $114,000 dollars, or at least half of the 
 total sum spent. Any one who has seen the^e schools and the build- 
 ings in which they are now conducted will readily agree that the 
 above estimate of loss is very conservative. It is too late now to re- 
 cover this money, but the folly of its expenditure, under the condi- 
 tions I have heretofore tried to describe, must be apparent to every 
 
28 
 
 one. To-day the State owns no building used by these colored normal 
 schools. These schools have been taught in churches, in town public 
 school buildings, in rented private halls, and the like. A considerable 
 sum has been spent each year for rents, desks, blackboards and 
 chairs, rendered necessary by such a policy as has been pursued. I 
 have counted all these items in my estimate of loss as given above. 
 All these expenditures are now nearly valueless. The furniture and 
 other equipment which the State now owns at all the four schools is 
 worth considerably less than $1,000, according to my inventory. 
 
 THE BUILDINGS. 
 
 I think this statement of the facts is the best argument I can make 
 for a change of such an expensive policy. But, perhaps, I should 
 remind you of some details. The house now being used by the Fay- 
 etteville school is much too small. The children in the primary school 
 must sit on the floor or four on a seat intended for two. The normal 
 students are not much better off. At Franklinton the primary school 
 is in the same condition as at Fayetteville. There are not enough 
 seats for all the normal school pupils either. At Elizabeth City 
 about fifty children are huddled up in a room 18x20 feet. The nor- 
 mal school pupils are so crowded in the little rooms that good work 
 is simply impossible. Several of the school-rooms there have no 
 desks, and writing, if done at all, must be done on the knees. The 
 Winston Primary School is at present in as/bad condition as any I 
 have described. In addition, there is not a sanitary school-room in 
 any of the buildings now used by these schools, except some rooms 
 used by the Winston school. With the exception mentioned, every 
 one of the school-rooms in use should be condemned as wholly unfit 
 for school purposes. Such, gentlemen, is the pathetic picture of the 
 buildings in which the State is now attempting to train teachers for 
 one-third of its children of school age. I have said these buildings 
 are unsanitary. I mean they are cold, uncomfortable, dirty, and 
 cannot be cleaned; that the furniture is often a disgrace to the name 
 of school. And besides the closets at several of these places must 
 necessarily be so placed that they promote anything but good morals 
 and cleanliness. Some of you have seen what I am describing and 
 know that I have not overdrawn the picture. 
 
 Of course, under the circumstances, it is impossible to teach ef- 
 fectively the very rudimentary course of study which I have outlined 
 above and which is now being attempted. There can be no real edu- 
 cation under the circumstances, much less can there be such a thing 
 as manual training, except in name. 
 
29 
 
 WHAT CAN BE DONE. 
 
 I see only one of two things to do, under the circumstance: (1) 
 Abandon the work at all except one or two schools and use part of ' 
 the present appropriation for a term of years toward securing suitable 
 buildings in which to conduct the schools ; or (2) save as much of the 
 present appropriation as possible each year and secure an extra ap- 
 propriation which, together with the amount possible to save out of 
 the present appropriation, can be used for a term of years to secure 
 suitable buildings. One of these courses of action is absolutely neces- 
 sary to any future success. 
 
 The board of directors of the Slater property at Winston have pro- 
 posed to turn over all their land and buildings to the State for $12,- 
 000. The State has already given this school $1,000 extra for nine 
 years. The Slater board say they think the expenditure of this $9,- 
 
 000 should give the State an equity in the property. For $12,000 
 more the. State can secure land and buildings which have cost some- 
 thing like $40,000. The acceptance of this offer, the details of which 
 
 1 submit with this report, would enable the State to secure a plant 
 which could soon be made very effective. The county of Forsyth is 
 building a three-room modern school building costing $1,800 for the 
 primary school at this place, on condition that the normal teachers 
 teach the children of school age in the neighborhood of the school. 
 The county also has made this school one of its regular schools and it 
 will receive a liberal apportionment of public money hereafter. 
 
 For some time the State has owned five acres of land one mile 
 from Elizabeth City, given for normal school purposes. The present 
 site of the Elizabeth City Normal School is in a thickly settled part 
 of the town, and there is no land surrounding the building in which 
 the school is taught. Whatever extra appropriation the Legislature 
 might make could all be utilized for buildings at this place without 
 any expenditure for land. 
 
 OTHER SUGGESTIONS. 
 
 If the State should be willing to secure sites and buildings for all 
 the four normal schools, then their future development may be out- 
 lined. The present course embraces only the elementary course of 
 study with some instruction as to how to teach the first four grades 
 of that course in the public schools. If the necessary equipment is 
 provided, then these schools should each have a little higher course 
 of study, paying special attention to the manual arts. It will then 
 be possible to begin more definitely the training of teachers for the 
 negro public schools. The present arrangement can only be a poor 
 attempt and will finally result in failure, for the reason that the 
 present elementary course of study is not long enough to do more 
 than train the present normal students in the tools of knowledge. A 
 
 
30' 
 
 course so limited can not train teachers in any broad sense, and to 
 attempt it as a permanent policy is only to invite final failure. 
 
 THE NECESSITY OF TRAINING COLORED TEACHERS. 
 
 It is not necessary to call your attention to the fact that the county 
 superintendents in all parts of the State declare that they can not 
 get teachers for the negro public schools if they hold the colored can- 
 didates for teachers' certificates to the same standard which they 
 have for white teachers. Every one knows how low the standard of 
 scholarship now is for the second grade certificate issued to the white 
 teacher. How low, then, is the standard of scholarship for the sec- 
 ond grade certificate issued to the colored teacher can well be 
 imagined. And yet these second grade colored teachers are teaching 
 almost one-third of the school children of the State. They are teach- 
 ing a race, too, which above all else needs good teachers. It would 
 take a heart of stone to hold the negro responsible for the failure to 
 profit by such training as he has had within the last thirty years at 
 the hands of teachers trained under the system described above. That 
 system the negro did not invent for himself. It was devised by our 
 race, or, to be more exact, it was devised by no one, for there has 
 hardly yet been the semblance of a plan to train negro teachers in 
 North Carolina, and for proof I cite the historical record adverted 
 to above. However, I think every patriotic North Carolinian will 
 agree that it is the plain duty of the State to train, under proper 
 supervision, teachers for the negro race, and not leave that work to 
 those who may not be in sympathy with our best aims and ideals in 
 education. 
 
 CONCLUSION. 
 
 I see but one thing to encourage us in my visits to these schools, 
 and that thing is not equipment, not trained teachers laboring under 
 disadvantages, not pupils of good scholarship — not any of these. Per- 
 haps it is something higher and better than anything I have men- 
 tioned. In a word, the one thing I see to encourage us to go vigor- 
 ously about doing this work is the pathetic earnestness of the ma- 
 jority of the pupils who are attending these schools. They desire to 
 learn and to be better and to teach others. I have yet failed in all 
 my experience as a teacher to see greater devotion and self-sacrifice 
 in my own race than I have seen manifested by pupils in these normal 
 schools, under adverse circumstances, to obtain an education. We 
 cannot, therefore, escape the responsibility of making an appeal to 
 the conscience of the State of North Carolina to go about the problem 
 feebly set forth in the above story. And that appeal should be made 
 in the name of right and humanity, not in the name of selfishness 
 and greed ; in the name of Him who said that whosoever receiveth 
 one of these little ones receiveth Me.

 The above figures are taken from the reports of the State Auditor 
 of North Carolina. The figures show that the assessed value of 
 colored property is increasing at a more rapid rate than the rate of 
 increase for all other property except railroads and other corporation 
 property. 
 
RECORD OF PROGRESS 1905-'06. 
 
 During the school year 1905-'06 the Slater School Board at Winston- 
 Salem conveyed to the State Board of Education its property, con- 
 sisting of about sixteen acres of land, together with the school build- 
 ings and equipment, which have cost about $40,000. The State Board 
 assumes a debt of $12,000 on this property. But the property' is easily 
 worth $25,000. This means that a gift of at least $12,000 has been 
 made to the State by citizens of Winston-Salem and elsewhere, who 
 owned this property. 
 
 During the year twenty-six acres of land near Fayetteville have 
 been purchased for a school site, at a cost of $1,500. The colored 
 people and their white friends in that vicinity have contributed 
 $529.84 of this amount ; $500 has been paid out of the Colored Normal 
 School annual appropriation, and the remainder has been advanced 
 through the liberality of Messrs. E. E. Smith and T. W. Thurston, the 
 first-named being the principal of the Fayetteville Normal School and 
 the other the superintendent of the Ashley-Bailey Silk Mill. Both 
 are colored men deeply interested in the success of the work at Fay- 
 etteville. 
 
 At Elizabeth City eighteen acres of land have been bought during 
 the year, at a cost of $2,000. Of this amount $1,652.43 has been con- 
 tributed by the colored people of that section of the State, aided by 
 their white friends in that vicinity and elsewhere. Some years ago 
 a gift of five acres of land for a school site at Elizabeth City was 
 made by a friend of the work at that place. The eighteen acres pur- 
 chased this year adjoins this five acres, making a site of twenty-three 
 acres in all. 
 
 During the year, therefore, it will be seen that $15,500 has been 
 added to the permanent equipment of these three colored normal 
 schools, less than $1,000 of which has been expended out of the annual 
 appropriation of State funds. This means that the State has been 
 given nearly $15,000 during the year to aid in helping along the work 
 of training teachers for the colored public schools. 
 
 In addition to what is said above, it should be remembered that 
 about $5,000 in good pledges remains to be collected at Fayetteville 
 and Elizabeth City. This sum will be available as soon as building 
 work is begun at these places. Many colored people at both these 
 places have also expressed a willingness to aid by means of labor as 
 soon as the State can see its way clear to undertake such operations. 
 
 But this is not all the progress that has been made. The teachers 
 and pupils of these schools are more in earnest than ever. They are 
 doing better work than ever before. The average attendance is bet- 
 
6 
 
 ter, the principals have had less trouble with discipline, and the citi- 
 zens, both white and black, are taking more interest in the work than 
 ever before. The work of each school in detail can be seen from the 
 matter contained in this catalogue. I regret that space does not per- 
 mit printing more complete and detailed accounts of what is being 
 done. But enough is given to convince any fair-minded person that 
 these schools are worth the State's attention and care. An extra 
 appropriation from the State equal in amount to what has been given 
 by the local communities would enable us to put these schools into 
 permanent homes of their own, thus greatly increasing their useful- 
 ness and efficiency. Charles L. Coon. 
 
GENERAL INFORMATION. 
 
 TUITION. 
 
 Tuition in all the normal schools is free to those who intend to teach 
 in the colored public schools of North Carolina. Those who do not 
 intend to teach must pay $10 a year tuition. These schools are main- 
 tained for the purpose of training teachers for the elementary public 
 schools. It is only just and right that those who take advantage of 
 these schools, and who do not intend to teach, shall pay the tuition 
 charges. 
 
 PURPOSE. 
 
 The Colored State Normal Schools at Winston-Salem, Fayetteville 
 and Elizabeth City are maintained by the State for the purpose of 
 training teachers for the colored elementary public schools of North 
 Carolina. The school at Winston-Salem was established in 1895 ; the 
 school at Elizabeth City in 1891, and the school at Fayetteville in 1877. 
 
 REGULATIONS. 
 
 The following general regulations apply to all the normal schools : 
 
 1. Pupils of both sexes are to be admitted, but all boarding pupils 
 must consult the local principal before making' any arrangements for 
 boarding outside the school dormitories. 
 
 2. Only pupils of good moral character will be admitted or retained 
 in the scJwols. 
 
 3. No pupil tcill oe admitted to any of the schools after the opening 
 week, except upon, examination, which examination will cover the 
 previous work of the class to which admission is sought. All such 
 examinations and their result must be approved by the superintendent. 
 
 4. No pupil will be advanced to a higher class except upon the satis- 
 factory completion of the work of the preceding class. 'All tests and 
 examination questions shall' be first approved by the superintendent, 
 and no promotion to a higher class shall be valid except approved by 
 the superintendent. 
 
 5. The school year shall consist of eight months of twenty school 
 days each. No holidays except Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Day and 
 New Year's Day shall be given. A Christmas recess not exceeding 
 ten days may be given, but such recess shall not be included in the 
 school year of 160 days. 
 
 6. Three unexcused absences or tardics during the year shall cause 
 any pupil to be suspended from school for the remainder of the year. 
 No principal shall accept any excuse for tardiness or absence except 
 the serious sickness of the pupil or his immediate family. The super- 
 intendent shall have the power to define the terms absence and tardi- 
 ness. 
 
8 
 
 7. No substitute teacher shall be employed, except upon the ap- 
 proval of the superintendent, and no student shall be permitted to 
 teach any normal class. 
 
 8. All students who receive free tuition shall sign a pledge to teach 
 two years in the colored public schools of the State. 
 
 9. The satisfactory completion of the work of the fourth grade of 
 the elementary school as set forth in the State Course of Study will 
 be required for entrance on the work of the normal course of study. 
 
 BEGINNING OF SESSION 1906-'07. 
 
 The session of 1906-'07 will begin at Fayetteville, September 17, 
 1906; at Elizabeth City, September 17, 1906, and at Winston-Salem,

 those who apply for entrance to the classes of the normal schools, to 
 have a good primary school in connection with each normal. It is

 tion from the normal schools can be required to teach successfully 
 prior to graduation.

HOW SOME STUDENTS PAY THEIR EXPENSES. 
 
 Hugh It. Mosley, Rockingham County, worked on a brick-yard to 
 secure enough money to enter Slater in the winter of 1902. During 
 first vacation he worked on a railroad in West Virginia. Has since 
 paid his own way by all kinds of manual labor. Graduated May, 
 1906. He is 23 years old. 
 
 W. E. Patterson, Mecklenburg County, is 21 years old ; is in the first 
 Normal class. He was born and reared on a farm ; picked peas and 
 cotton for his neighbors to get money enough to come to Slater two 
 years ago. He has been working on the school farm and making his 
 own way. 
 
 Charles W. Roseman, Lincoln County ; born 19 years ago. Carried 
 mail on a star route to get railroad fare and clothes with which to 
 leave home. Entered the primary school at Slater in 1902. He has 
 steadily worked on the farm and at other work to make his own way. 
 He is now a member of the regular First-year Normal Class. 
 
 Belle Ballard, 18 years old ; born in Camden, S. C. ; entered Slater in 
 January, 1904 ; has worked at Slater Hospital, laundry, in the Slater 
 kitchen and at other work and has made her way for two years. She 
 is now in the First-year Normal Class and thinks she can continue in 
 school until she graduates. She pays all her expenses. 
 
 Cornelius Redd, 17 years old ; graduated in 1906 ; has worked in a 
 tobacco factory and made money enough to pay his expenses for five 
 years. 
 
 M. Q. Cele, 26 years old ; born in Africa ; he is learning our lan- 
 guage and writes a fairly good hand. His story in his own words fol- 
 lows : 
 
 My home is in South eastern part of Africa. When the white mis- 
 sionary first came over to the part of Africa where I came from I was 
 very young, but he lived till I was grown enough to know him. So 
 before he was there a long time my father became civilized, and he 
 was told of this country and its school, so he made up his mind to 
 send me over here. Although the expenses were so high to pay my 
 way from Africa to here we knew that we can make up enough to 
 bring me over here. We didn't know that the school shall cost me 
 any thing since we didn't have any body to tell us that. So after all 
 my father starded me for America. I reached New york City May 
 25, 1901. I stop there one week, the white good friend I stoped with, 
 he learned of Slater so he sent me to Slater School. When I first 
 come here, three things discourage me badly that many times I wish 
 that I never knew of this country. First was I couldn't talk English. 
 Second I didn't have funds to pay my way in school. Third I came 
 from a place where a man don't have to work, and so I never work 
 
55 
 
 before I come here but when I find that I must work if I must live in 
 this country so I make up my mind that I am going to work, so now 
 I can do as much work as any man of my size and also I can talk 
 little English and write such as I have written in this letter. I have 
 been making my own way through school every since I came here. 
 The way I get my schooling I work hard during vacation and two 
 years ago I was fortunate to get a job in the city that I work at every 
 afternoon when school duties are over I have to go there for cleaning 
 up, and in that way I get help. And I hope to do that till I get 
 through the school then return home to Africa.

 Every son, whatever may be his expectations as to fortune, ought to 
 be so educated that he can superintend some part of the complicated 
 machinery of social life ; and every daughter ought to be so educated 
 that she can answer the claims of humanity, whether these claims 
 require the labor of the head or the labor of the hand. — Horace Mann. 
 
"Every human being has an absolute, indefeasible right to an educa- 
 tion ; and there is the correlative duty of government to see that the 
 means of education are provided for all. Government protects child- 
 hood, but childhood has more than physical wants. Infanticide is 
 prohibited, but life is not worth living unless instruction supervenes. 
 Otherwise, no true life, no real manhood. It is a travesty on man- 
 hood to make a brutal prize-fighter its representative. Education is 
 due from government to children. The school is supplementary to 
 family, to churches, in the province of education. Society rests upon 
 education in its comprehensive meaning. Man must be educated out 
 of, lifted above animal impulses — a state of nature — and made to 
 respect social forms, the rights and duties of persons and property. 
 Education is to prepare the individual for life in social institutions. 
 Crime and ignorance and non-productiveness are antagonistic to 
 society. . . . The first necessity of civilization is a system of 
 universal education. "—Dr. J. L. M. Curry. 
 
 "The strength of every community is dependent upon the average 
 of the intelligence of that community, and this intelligence is depend- 
 ent upon the education of the entire mass and not of the few." — 
 Charles B. AycocTc. 
 
 "To close the door of hope against any child within the borders of 
 the State, whatever be his race or condition, by deliberately removing 
 him from the possibility of securing such training as will fit him for 
 the life he has to live, is un-Christian, un-democratic and un-Ameri- 
 can." — Gov. 'N. C. Blanchard.

 4. No pupil will be advanced to a higher class except upon the 
 satisfactory completion of the work of the preceding class. All tests 
 and examination questions shall be first approved by the superin-

 ing ten days may be given, but such recess shall not be included in 
 the school year of 160 days. 
 
 (5) 
 
6 
 
 6. Three unexcused absences or tardies during the year shall cause 
 any pupil to he suspended from school for the remainder of the year. 
 No principal should accept any excuse for tardiness or absence except 
 the serious sickness of the pupil or his immediate family.

 proval of the superintendent, and no student shall be permitted to 
 teach any normal class. 
 
 8. All students who receive free tuition shall sign a pledge to teach 
 two years in the colored public schools of the State.

 PRIMARY SCHOOL COURSE. 
 
 It is sometimes necessary, on account of the poor preparation of 
 those who apply for entrance to the classes of the normal schools, to 
 have a good primary school in connection with each normal. It is 
 also necessary to have such a school in which candidates for gradua- 
 tion from the normal schools can be required to teach successfully 
 prior to graduation. This course consists of the first four years of 
 outline course of study for the public schools.

DEPARTMENTS OF INSTRUCTION. 
 
 NORMAL DEPARTMENT. 
 
 This department of the institution is organized under the auspices 
 of the State of North Carolina, and is designed to prepare teachers 
 for the rural public schools of the State. The course covers four 
 years, of instruction and practice work under the critical eye and 
 training of experienced teachers. 
 
 Three things especially are undertaken in this department : ( 1 ) 
 Grounding the students in the common school branches with special 
 reference to teaching these subjects; (2) Acquainting them with the 
 most approved facts of the history and science and art of education ; 
 (3) Illustrating in the model school for the benefit of the young 
 teacher the facts thus learned. 
 
 Our constant effort is to give the students such a well-rounded 
 culture of head, hand and heart as always stands the industrious 
 and conscientious teacher in good stead in assuming and directing 
 the weighty responsibilities of his great calling. 
 
 It is the purpose of the management to make this department of 
 the institution more and more professional, bringing it up as rapidly 
 as possible to the standard of the foremost normal schools of the 
 country. 
 
 It is proposed, under the direction of the State Superintendent of 
 Public Instruction, to give to the State a real normal school — such 
 as will at least command the respect of the friends of this cause at 
 home and abroad. 
 
 INDUSTRIAL DEPARTMENT. 
 
 This department of the institution is intended to give training in 
 the industrial arts, including sewing, cooking, laundry work, domestic 
 economy, etc., for girls ; and carpentering, iron-working, agriculture, 
 etc., for boys. 
 
 The institution owns horses, cattle, hogs, wagons and spring 
 vehicles, and an outfit of farming utensils. Great stress has been 
 laid upon truck-gardening and farming in this way, giving the stu- 
 dents some practical agriculture, besides furnishing vegetables for 
 the boarding department, and also supplying the growing population 
 of our school community. 
 
 Industrial education in our school is not intended to supersede or 
 overshadow the work in the literary department, but to be a coordi- 
 nate branch of education — our purpose being to train heart, head 
 and hand. We propose, in the words of Whittier, "Hearts of 
 
 (20) 
 
21 
 
 Health," together with "the cunning hand and cultured brain." We 
 propose that our students shall have the largest possible productive 
 capacity. 
 
 The ability to do in the very best way that which must be done 
 with the hand represents a master power in the world's civilization. 
 
 Industrial departments in schools for Negroes are the most means 
 adequate of giving them power. 
 
 DEPARTMENT OF MUSIC. 
 
 A chapel choir has been formed among the best singers for the 
 purpose of studying choral music and rendering cantatas and operet- 
 tas from time to time as well as leading in the chapel services. 
 Excellent work has been done by this choir. 
 
 The brass band and orchestra are composed of students who show 
 satisfactory progress in their vocal studies, aided by some of the 
 teachers. 
 
GENERAL INFORMATION. 
 
 THE FIELD. 
 
 The field for the work of the school is a broad one, in view 
 of the fact that the means for educating the colored people of 
 the mountain section of North Carolina are inadequate, and of the 
 fact also that there is an extensive territory in northwestern North 
 Carolina and southwestern Virginia, almost wholly unprovided for 
 in respect to higher, and especially industrial, education for colored 
 youth. And yet there is a continuous movement of colored people 
 toward these sections. 
 
 PRESENT EQUIPMENT. 
 
 The institution, with its present halls, offers first-class accommoda- 
 tions for a large number of boarding pupils ; the boys and girls hav- 
 ing separate dormitories. 
 
 Special attention is called to the efficiency of the faculty ; and to 
 the excellent appointments of the school-rooms. 
 
 This school is not compelled to consult in the selection of its 
 teachers any considerations save qualifications and competency ; hence, 
 it is always in position to offer the very best instruction. 
 
 We intend the next session to make the library a positive factor 
 in the work of the school. The reading-room is supplied with some 
 of the daily and weekly newspapers, and through the aid of kind 
 friends some of the leading magazines may be found regularly upon 
 our tables. 
 
 LITERARY SOCIETIES. 
 
 For training in composition, declamation, debate, and parliamen- 
 tary practice there are in the instituton two literary societies — the 
 "Eureka Literary Society" for the boys, and the "Garrett Literary 
 Society" for the girls. These societies have at their bi-weekly meet- 
 ings afforded the students an excellent opportunity for development 
 in the correct and effective use of the English language, and have 
 also been an efficient means of entertaining and instructing the 
 people of the community. The students are given in these meetings 
 also an opportunity to put into practise their knowledge of music, 
 being tested and trained at the same time in the art of vocal delivery. 
 
 RELIGIOUS SOCIETIES. 
 
 There are among the students three religious societies — the Young 
 Men's Christian Association, the Woman's Christian Temperance 
 Union, and the Christian Endeavor Society for all the students. 
 
 (22) 
 
23 
 
 These societies have exerted a decidedly wholesome influence upon 
 the students, and have contributed much toward good order and 
 discipline in the school. All of these societies are managed for the 
 most part by the students themselves, and are a source of real ethical 
 strength. 
 
 SPECIAL NEEDS. 
 
 The inost urgent need at present is the completion of the building 
 fund of $10,000 with which the hall for general school purposes was 
 built, and this special appeal to complete this fund is made to the 
 friends of humanity and negro education that the small debt on the 
 new building may be paid. 
 
 a girl's dormitory. 
 
 A dormitory for girls is greatly needed. We will be compelled to 
 reject applicants on account of lack of room, and it will be painful 
 not to be able to admit girls who want to fit themselves both as 
 teachers and home-makers. Shortly after school opened we were 
 forced to hire rooms wherever possible to house our students who 
 could not find room in the dormitories. 
 
 A LARGE INDUSTRIAL HALL 
 
 It greatly needed to facilitate the work in the industrial depart- 
 ment. The interest of the boys and girls in the industries of the 
 institution is noteworthy ; but the room and equipment necessary to 
 the most efficient instruction it has been impossible thus far to pro- 
 vide. We will hope that kind friends will help us in making provis- 
 ions for efficient work in this department. 
 
 BOOKS FOR THE LIBRARY. 
 
 It will be our effort to stimulate in the pupils a love for good 
 books and good literature of all descriptions, believing that this is 
 an indispenable means to the development of all that is best in us 
 of moral and intellectual endowment. 
 
 CHEMICAL AND PHYSICAL APPARATUS. 
 
 Our friends would greatly aid the work we propose to do by help- 
 ing us to secure some chemical and physical apparatus, that the 
 work of instruction in elementary chemistry and physics may be 
 made permanently effective. 
 
 A FARM. 
 
 We need more farming land. A fine farm adjacent to our present 
 property can be purchased at a reasonable price, and we beg the 
 aid of friends in securing the same. It is the purpose of the institu- 
 tion to make training in practical and scientific agriculture a princi- 
 pal feature of our work. 
 
24 
 
 students' aid fund. 
 
 Philanthropic friends would be surprised to know the circumstances 
 and history of hundreds of young colored men and women in the 
 South who are struggling to get an education. Some of the most 
 promising and deserving ones are absolutely unable to prosecute 
 their education at all, except as they are aided. . 
 
 We do not ask friends to pay the entire expenses of any person 
 through school. We ask only that they will contribute to the above 
 fund, from which we may be able to aid needy students according to 
 the emergency and merits of the case. Where persons desire to give 
 a full support, $60 will cover the entire expense for the session. 
 
 LOCATION AND ACCESSIBILITY. 
 
 The twin cities of Winston-Salem constitute the largest and most 
 progressive community in northwestern North Carolina. These towns 
 are situated at the foot of the outlying spurs of the Blue Ridge 
 Mountains and are high and healthy, the atmosphere being espe- 
 cially pure and invigorating. 
 
 Winston-Salem has become quite a railroad center and is easily 
 accessible from all parts of the country. The railroad link between 
 Mocksville and Mooresville being completed, the institution is now 
 easily accessible also to all persons on the Western North Carolina 
 Railroad and also to all persons between Charlotte and Taylors- 
 ville, N. C. 
 
 COLUMBIAN HEIGHTS. 
 
 The suburban settlement in which the school is immediately 
 located is a new and growing colored community, especially intended 
 to promote the ends of the institution. The settlers all have com- 
 fortable and well-arranged homes, which afford not only the means 
 of enlarged accommodations for the school, but also a wholesome 
 object-lesson to the students, giving them an idea of the home-life 
 that should characterize growing intelligence, in lieu of the one- 
 room log cabin. 
 
 Columbian Heights will be to the students of the institution a 
 tangible evidence of the new day of freedom and opportunity.

 DISCIPLINE. 
 
 Attention is called to the following special local regulations, and 
 persons who think they cannot observe them are warned against 
 coming to us : 
 
 1. Students on the institution roll, who live at their homes or 
 with their friends, and those who by special permission of the 
 faculty are allowed to board in families, are expected to observe, 
 in general, the same regulations respecting conduct, deportment, and 
 habits of study as those living in the school buildings. 
 
 2. Students absenting themselves from their classes, or from the 
 school grounds without permission render themselves liable to dis- 
 cipline. 
 
 3. All students are subject to the discipline of the institution for 
 immoral or unworthy conduct during absence from the institution. 
 
 4. The use of intoxicants and tobacco in any form, also profanity 
 and card-playing and having fire-arms, are forbidden in the case of 
 all students, both during term time and vacation. Infraction of this 
 regulation will subject the offender to the discipline of the insti- 
 tution. 
 
 5. Students must comply with all regulations for the promotion 
 of health, cleanliness, good order, and successful school-room work. 
 
 6. The correspondence of the students will be regulated by the 
 faculty as far as it may become necessary. Too many letters written 
 or received by the students are prejudicial to the best work. 
 
 7. Rooms are subject to inspection at any time during the day 
 after the ringing of the notice bell for breakfast. 
 
 8. A student's protracted failure to provide himself with the books 
 required will be an occasion for rigid investigation. 
 
 9. Every student, by entering the institution, is regarded as giving 
 a sacred promise to observe these and all other established regula- 
 tions.

 HOW TO SEND MONEY. 
 
 All money intended as a donation for the institution should be 
 sent to W. A. Blair, Esq. (Vice-President People's National Bank), 
 Winston-Salem, N. C. 
 
 All money intended for board and other regular expenses of 
 students should be sent to Prof. John W. Woody, Business Agent, 
 Slater School, Winston- Salem, N. C. 
 
 We wish to call special attention of parents to the fact that 
 money, in all cases, when intended to pay their children's expenses 
 in school should be sent to the Business Agent and not to the pupils. 
 It is not necessary to send expensive boxes of food to pupils, and 
 it is better to confine any remembrances to certain holidays, like 
 Christmas, if sent at all.

STATE COLORED NORMAL SCHOOL 
 
 FAYETTEVILLE. 
 
 HISTORY. 
 
 This institution was established by the State Board of Education, 
 under an act of the General Assembly of 1876-'7T, for the training of 
 teachers for the colored public schools of the State. It has com- 
 pleted thirty school years of from eight to ten months each, in which 
 1,676 different pupils, from 73 counties of the State, have been en- 
 rolled. Three hundred and twenty-eight (328) have completed the 
 prescribed course of study. Of this number only a few have failed 
 to engage in teaching. A large number of the undergraduates also 
 engage in teaching. 
 
 LOCATION. 
 
 Twenty-six acres of land, in the immediate southern suburbs of 
 the city, have been purchased and deeded to the State for the school. 
 New buildings for the school and dormitories will be completed, if 
 possible, before the opening of the school. 
 
 BOARD. 
 
 Board can be ohtained in the dormitories or in private families 
 at very reasonable rates. 
 
 NATURE AND DESIGN. 
 
 A normal school is neither a college, a law, nor a theological school, 
 but a school for the thorough instruction and systematic training of 
 students toho wish to oecome teachers; hence the design of this 
 school is — ■ 
 
 I. Thorough instruction in all the branches required to be taught 
 in the public schools of the State ; 
 
 II. The best methods of teaching these branches and governing the 
 schools, and 
 
 III. The cultivation of the habit of thinking clearly and system- 
 atically, and the practice of delivering the thoughts and explanations 
 in a lucid and pleasant manner. To accomplish this our course of 
 study, practice in teaching, library, and rhetorical exercises are ad- 
 mirably adapted. 
 
 QUALIFICATIONS OF A GOOD TEACHER. 
 
 1. Good health, good common sense, and sound judgment. 
 
 2. A thorough knowledge of the branches he proposes to teach. 
 
 (35) 
 
36 
 
 3. Aptness to teach. He may be rich in knowledge, but it will be 
 of little value to his pupils unless he has the skill of communicat- 
 ing it. 
 
 4. Perfect self-control. He cannot govern others when unable to 
 govern himself. 
 
 5. Love for his calling. Any work is easily done when prompted 
 by love. Whatever one does willingly is no trouble. 
 
 EXAMINATIONS. 
 
 Oral and written examinations of all the students will be held dur- 
 ing the first week of each term, and public examination and exhibi- 
 tion annually, at the close of the session. 
 
 LIBEARY, APPARATUS, ETC. 
 
 The school has a small but well-selected library, including the 
 Encyclopedia Britanica, and is supplied with the necessary maps 
 and globes, musical, historical, and writing charts, and, in addition 
 to these, a set of apparatus for the illustration of physics or natural 
 philosophy. 
 
 SOCIETIES. 
 
 The Normal Literary Society, which meets Friday evening of each 
 week, and the Normal Band of Hope (Temp.), which meets monthly, 
 are societies formed among the students and subject to their own 
 control, under the supervision of the teachers. They are excellent 
 means for drill in parliamentary usage and business habits. 
 
 NON-SECTARIAN. 
 
 The school is not conducted in the interest of any religious denomi- 
 nation or any political party. The teachers belong to different 
 churches, and students, while expected to attend some church, are 
 allowed to make their own choice. All the leading denominations 
 are represented by churches in town. 
 
 APPLICATIONS FOR TEACHERS. 
 
 There are usually connected with the school, or in correspondence 
 with the faculty, persons well qualified to teach, and willing to ac- 
 cept suitable positions when offered. All letters in reference to 
 teachers, etc., will be promptly answered, and, if applications are 
 definite enough, teachers can generally be supplied. 
 
 Applications should state : 
 
 1. Male or female teacher required. 
 
 2. Grade of certificate required. 
 
 3. Beginning and length of term. 
 
 4. Salary and price of board. 
 
37 
 
 The work under this head is all done as a matter of courtesy, and 
 although no charge is made to either committee or teachers, no effort 
 will be spared to send the right teacher to the right place. 
 
 ADVICE TO THOSE WHO WISH TO ENTER THE SCHOOL. 
 
 1. Carefully examine the course of* study, and decide how much of 
 it you have thoroughly accomplished, recognizing always the differ- 
 ence between the knowledge required by a teacher and by one who is 
 merely expecting to become a general scholar. 
 
 2. Do not be too anxious to enter advanced classes. There will be 
 little or no time in any class to make up back studies. Many who are 
 admitted to the advanced classes fail to do the work well, from 
 lack of elementary training, and regret not having begun to work 
 here in lower grades. 
 
 3. Bring with you, as useful for study or reference, all the text- 
 books you have. 
 
 4. Come expecting to work faithfully and honestly — to make study 
 your first and only aim while here. If you cannot come with this 
 spirit, or if you lack the determination to carry you through in this 
 spirit, you make a mistake in entering a normal school. 
 
 DISCIPLINE. 
 
 In a normal school there should be no need of reference to the 
 matter of discipline. Only those should come, or be admitted, who 
 have well-formed, correct habits. 
 
 This is, in no sense, a reform school, and young men or women 
 who are not disposed to submit willingly and cheerfully to all the 
 wholesome restraints found necessary for the good working and 
 good reputation of the school will be unhesitatingly dismissed. 
 
 We are, in a measure, responsible to the State for the character 
 and equipment of each pupil graduated from the school. Th ; s 
 being the case, we are compelled to exercise the most rigid scrutiny 
 in reference to both these ; and offenses that in a mere academic 
 institution might be passed over lightly, here are viewed rather 
 as indicating the unfitness of the offender for taking charge of and 
 training the children of the State. In this way it sometimes 
 happens that pupils are advised to withdraw from the school, or 
 are even dismissed, when no very serious charges are brought 
 against them. They have merely convinced us that they .are not 
 suitable persons to enter the profession of teaching. No publicity 
 is given to such cases. Nor is our action ever taken with a view 
 of punishing the offenders. 
 
 Our aim has constantly been to appeal to the nobler natures of 
 our students in order to secure compliance with the regulations of 
 the school. Our rules prohibit what is ungentlemanly or unladylike 
 and disorderly, and require only what is necessary to provide for 
 the mental, moral, and physical welfare of all.

 NEW QUARTERS AND EQUIPMENTS. . 
 
 Work is in progress. The Superintendent and Board of managers 
 of the School are doing everything possible to have in readiness 
 new quarters for the School, at the beginning of the session, Septem- 
 ber 16, 1907. The new home for the School will include a main 
 building containing well-arranged recitation-rooms for the different 
 grades and classes and an assembly hall. There will be provided, 
 also, buildings or rooms, necessary and suitable, in which to give 
 instruction, in domestic science, including cooking and sewing, for 
 females. Gardening and some practicable work in farming will 
 be taught male students.

 GENERAL REMARKS. 
 
 The enrollment of the session has been larger than that of the 
 previous session. The School enjoys the moral support of all classes 
 of the people in the city, community, and section. This in itself 
 is an invaluable stimulus to the teachers and students in the prosecu- 
 tion of the work undertaken. 
 
 W T hile the School has been, throughout the session, largely attended, 
 numbers have, by no means, been the object sought or the end in 
 view. The one aim of the teachers, from beginning to finish, has 
 been thoroughness, thoroughness. Carefully conducted reviews have 
 received special prominence, from time to time, throughout the 
 session. In carrying out this idea of thoroughness, interest in 
 study has awakened, per cent, of attendance has been increased, 
 and tardiness reduced to a minimum. 
 
 This new awakening, this increased interest and efficiency gen- 
 erally in the work of the School is largely, if not altogether, due 
 to the wise and helpful supervision of the superintendent of the 
 State Colored Normal Schools. 
 
39 
 
 The School is open to inspection at all times, and teachers and 
 friends of education are cordially invited to visit the School at 
 their convenience. 
 
 We hope to he ahle to have our new school building in readiness 
 for occupancy at the beginning of the fall term of the present year.

 Rev. J. T. Doles. Occasionally the colored and the white ministers 
 of the city lead the meeting and deliver addresses. 
 
 Christian Associations. — The Young Men's and Women's Christian 
 Associations are greatly instrumental in toning up and deepening the 
 moral and religious life and activity of the student-body. 
 
 Lyceum. — The Lyceum is a literary society officered by the students 
 but under the supervision of the teachers. It affords the students an 
 opportunity to become acquainted with parliamentary usages and to 
 have practice in public speaking and discussion. This society meets 
 weekly and renders an occasional public program.
