Excerpt from A Course of Study for Teachers in the Public Schools of North Carolina It is the purpose of the State Board of Examiners to help especially those teachers who are willing to help themselves. Under the various subjects will be found helpful suggestions not only upon the work in the school-room, but also suggestions on private study for the teachers. We feel sure that there are many honest, conscientious teachers, who are not satisfied with their present qualifications for their work, but are not sure just what to do or what course to pursue in order to make progress and to better prepare themselves for the school-room and its duties. Owing to the multiplicity of books at this time, the average public-school teacher is at a loss to know what is best for him, when he needs a book on any special subject. The State Board of Examiners has suggested under each subject books that are among the best. It is not expected that the average teacher will purchase all of the books on any one subject. If only one can be purchased, we think the first one named under a given subject should be selected. We would like especially to impress upon the teachers the importance of making, if necessary, a sacrifice in order to have some good educational books. You should study the history and the science of education. You should become acquainted with some of the master minds in the teaching profession. Our successful lawyers study law. Our successful physicians study medicine. Our successful business men study business, and no less true is it, that our successful teachers study teaching. Let not any teacher throw aside this book, with the idea that it may do some good to teachers who are in the schoolroom for eight or ten months in the year, but for a teacher of three or four months work it will be of no service.

Excerpt from Public Education in the South This book is the outgrowth of several years' study of public educational problems in the United States, especially in the South, through courses in the history of education given at Trinity College and the University of North Carolina for teachers and prospective teachers and administrators. In such courses the aim has been to consider the principal problems of administration, support, and supervision of present-day education in the Southern States and to seek an understanding of their meaning in the light of their historical growth. The book is therefore a study of actual educational progress in the South rather than of educational theories and the relation between education and economic, social, political, and religious influences is given emphasis.

Excerpt from Teaching Democracy in the North Carolina Public Schools If the North Carolina public schools are to do their share in defending and improving American Democracy, we must continue with unabated zeal our program of curriculum construction. Democracy more than any other form of government demands a school curriculum that effectively meets the needs of the individual and the society in which he lives. The most. Effective curriculum emerges from locally recognized needs. In this critical period I trust that every teacher and administrator will be especially alert to the problems peculiar to their specific localities. In planning the next steps in our educational program for the defense and improvement of democracy let us continue with renewed vigor our efforts to secure.

A quarter of a century later there were white' and 5, 309 negro teachers or a total Of 22, 257 public school teachers. During this twenty-five year period, the number of teachers increased steadily and by 1925 the number employed was practically two and one -fifth times as great as the number employed during the year ending 1900. The per cent Of increase during the period 1900-1925 for urban teachers, both white and colored, was greater than the per cent Of increase for the number of rural teachers and the rate Of increase for whites was greater than the rate Of increase for negroes. The greatest factor in determining this rapid increase in number Of public school teachers has been the increase in school. Attendance. In 1901 there were white and negro children in average daily attend ance. For the school year ending 1925, there were white children and negro children or a grand total Of children in average daily attendance in the public schools.
