Abstract:

Charles Brantley Aycock promoted education through construction of new schoolhouses, equipping these schoolhouses, increasing salaries for teachers, and convincing the legislature to better fund teachers' colleges. Almost sixty years later, Terry Sanford continued this emphasis on education by expanding programs for gifted students, improving teacher training, and establishing the Learning Institute of North Carolina to emphasize research in education.
