It. is immaterial whether the act be a public law as defined in State v. N.

While that is binding upon the conscience of the gen- assembly and doubtless is intended to be observed by that the courts will not under- take to review the action in that respect of a co-ordinate depart- of the State government, and will conclusively presume from ratification that the notice has been given. v.

He is Delighted With Spirit Shown by Board of Trustees. To rive an idea of the feeling of the trustees and the outcome of their meeting to organize and plan the beginning of the work on th- Eastern Carolina Training School to be located in Greenville, The Reflector asked ex-Gov T. J. Jarvis, the dent member of the board of trustees this are you pleased with the spirit exhibited by the different of the board of trustees, and what do you think of the out- come of th. To this I am delighted with the spirit shown by every member of the board at the recent meeting on the 10th and They demon- i y their words and ac- that they realized that they were laying the foundation of a great institution, which would great service to their Mate, and become an important factor in educational forces. They seamed determined to prof- it the experiences of the past in adopting all the good and avoiding all the errors that have been made in planning for such an institution. They wisely availed the services of Mr. H. an ex- landscape architect, to lay out the grounds and t the location of the various build- now and hereafter to be erected, that we may have an artistic plan to up to. I think we are especially for- in the selection of to get up the plans for the buildings now to be erected. The Something like two million brick will be required and other ma- in proportion. It is earn- hoped that those desiring to furnish brick and other ma- for these buildings will keep in mind that it is great public institution and that they will enter into the spirit which seems to animate everybody to contribute something to the pub- service, and that they will make their prices for material as low as possible. We do not ex- to obtain material and labor for nothing, nor do we expect anybody to charge more than . seasonable compensation for either. So I may say that I am greatly pleased with the outcome of the meeting of the board of trustees and that I look forward with bright hopes to the future work of board in connection with the institution.
