Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from State Normal Magazine, 1897, Vol. 1 Massachusetts has 278 inhabitants to the square mile. North Carolina has every kind of soil and climate in the temperate zone, and within her borders can be found nearly every variety of the mineral and vegetable kingdom. But schools are not a natural product, and the conditions have not been so favorable to education as they were in States of less area, denser population, and with less of Natures bounty. The old adage Necessity is the mother of Invention means that Necessity is the mother of Education. Hard natural conditions tend to make a people industrious, skilful, and frugal. If North Carolina had been blessed with less of game and fish and fruit and forest, she would be a much better educated State to-day. The last census report shows that thirty-five percent of her entire population is illiterate, and that twenty-six percent of her white population is illiterate. I believe, however, that, in the next census report, she will make a better showing. For ten or fifteen years, she has been taking on new life in all her educational enterprises. Her University, older than the century, always useful and always to be honored, has become a much greater educational power among the people during recent years. Her Agricultural and Mechanical Colleges, for the training of white men and for the training of the colored race, and her Normal and Industrial College, for the special training of white women, have, since their recent establishment, already given a practical turn to the education of her youth. In the meantime, old denominational colleges have prospered, and new ones have come into existence, private academies are more numerous, and the general public school system has advanced steadily, though slowly. Public sentiment is ripe for the next advance step, namely, the material improvement of the public school system throughout the State. This improvement began in the centers more than twenty years ago, when the town of Greensboro, with only seven dissenting votes, levied upon itself, in addition to the State tax, a special tax for public schools setting an example which has been followed by nearly every town in the State. The people in all of these towns have learned the value of a public school system, and they probably pay their school taxes more cheerfull- than they pay any other.
