Abstract:

J. H. Rose, a Pitt County educator, principal, and superintendent, wanted to be a railroad man, but Rose's professor at Trinity College (now Duke) persuaded him to take a position in education in Kinston. Later, he came to Pitt County, remaining for the rest of his life. Because of his involvement with his students, Rose missed the announcement of his appointment as superintendent because he was on a trip with students. Rose was active in Jarvis Memorial Church and in statewide civic organizations.
