THE REFLECTOR. Greenville, N. C. Editor 2nd Proprietor WEDNESDAY. MAT 23rd, 1894. at Greenville, N. as second-class mail matter. The President was in State last week looking after fish and game. We believe be does well be spends bis spare mo- on waters of Eastern North Carolina because fish and game of every variety exists in abundance. Saturday morning tho government steamer Violet on which President Cleveland and and were taking their outing, ran up to Washington to take on coal and get supplies for the light- houses, remaining there a few hours. President did not go ashore but several of tho citizens saw him.

Mr. interests of tho county say j Dobbin, representing tho that the duties of the Southern States, is visiting points dent have at no time been more faithfully and efficiently perform- ed than since he has been in charge. And no one in the county has more interest in the public schools than be, for, as we have him repeatedly say, the success of private schools is due in a large measure to tho of public schools, and. much as good public schools ways serve as feeders to higher grade private schools, his interest in them is all the It is well known that Pitt county has at no time had a better or more successful teacher than Prof. and as the school law in speaking of the selection of a Superintendent shall be of good moral char- liberal education, and he shall otherwise be qualified to discharge the duties of the office as required by law, due BUBO GIVEN TO EXPERIENCE IX ho is the man who should be chosen for the position on the first Monday June- The only objection that has been raised to Prof. as Superintendent of Public In- has come through as- for the position, and all they have been able to say that should be in his is that be has such a large private that he does not visit the public schools as much as would a man who had nothing else to look after. Well, do the people of Pitt county want a man for who else to do ride over the county and draw the entire support of him- self and family from the already school fund Do they want a man who has proved a failure at every business he has T best test of a man's capabilities for managing the affairs of others, either pub- or private, is that he has executive ability to manage his own affairs successfully. So far as visiting the schools is con- there is no need for a Superintendent going to them more than once a year, and going oftener is just so much waste of the school fund. Of course the people are aware that the Super- is not a salaried officer, but his pay is regulated at so much per day for the days he is engaged tho work. If a man has but else to depend on except what he makes out of the position he will apt to take advantage of every excuse that permits a day's salary being drawn from school fund. Therefore it is to Prof. credit that he has a successful private school, and the people need have no fears that ho will draw a single dollar from the school money that he does not render full value therefor. Again, it is well known that during the spring months that Prof- has been in the office there have been very few of the public schools open, as they are usually taught in the summer months, therefore has no need of visiting them. When they open this summer it will be found that they receive all attention from him. The public school interests will never suffer or lag while he is and the Magistrates will do a wise thing by keeping him in the position. along the line of the railroad to confer with parties interested, and every section should take ad- vantage of the opportunity to be represented.
