ANNOUNCEMENTS FOR 1906-'07
WINSTON-SALEM, FAYETTEVILLE, ELIZABETH CITY
"THE PEOPLE HAVE A RIGHT TO THE PRIVILEGE OF EDUCATION, AND IT IS THE DUTY OF THE STATE TO GUARD AND MAINTAIN THAT RIGHT."-- Constitution of North Carolina.
The report of the State Auditor of North Carolina for the year 1903 gives the following facts about the value of property in North Carolina:
Assessed value of all taxable property, $433,687,809.50.
R. B. GLENN, Governor, President.
J. Y. JOYNER, Superintendent Public Instruction, Secretary.
F. D. WINSTON, Lieutenant-Governor.
J. BRYAN GRIMES, Secretary of State.
B. R. LACY, Treasurer.
R. D. GILMER, Attorney-General.
B. F. DIXON, Auditor.
CHARLES L. COON, Superintendent of Normals.
By authority of laws enacted by the Legislatures of 1903 and 1905, the general control and management of the State Colored Normal Schools is vested in the above board.
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.
During the school year 1905-’06 the Slater School Board at Winston-Salem conveyed to the State Board of Education its property, consisting of about sixteen acres of land, together with the school buildings 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 Fayetteville.
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 contributed 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 purchased 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 better,
the principals have had less trouble with discipline, and the citizens, 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 permit 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 usefulness and efficiency.
CHARLES L. COON.
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 maintained 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 schools.
3. No pupil will be 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 satisfactory 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 tardies 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 superintendent shall have the power to define the terms absence and tardiness.
7. No substitute teacher shall be employed, except upon the approval 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.

THE SESSION OF 1906-’07 BEGINS SEPTEMBER 17, 1906
Prayer-meeting.—The Wednesday after-school prayer-meeting is so conducted that it is a source of religious and spiritual help to the life of the students and teachers. The meeting is regularly conducted by Rev. J. T. Doles. Occasionally the colored and the white ministers of the city lead the meeting.
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.

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.

M. Q. Cele, 26 years old; born in Africa; he is learning our language and writes a fairly good hand. His story in his own words follows:
My home is in South eastern part of Africa. When the white missionary 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
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, indefensible right to an education; and there is the correlative duty of government to see that the means of education are provided for all. Government protects childhood, 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 manhood 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 dependent upon the education of the entire mass and not of the few.”—Charles B. Aycock.
“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-American.”—Gov. N. C. Blanchard.
