1LW ®tt Tn the mind of Professor William H. Ragsdale was conceived the idea of a school to he devoted solely to the purpose of fitting teachers for the public schools in the eastern section of North Carolina. As a county superintendent, he knew well how great was the need for better schools, and he steadfastly held to the belief that the trained teacher was the surest way to make the schools better. The idea may have been in other minds, but he did not stop until he had planted the idea in the minds of others and enlisted in the cause those who could give shape and form to it, carrying it through its stages until it was a plant ready for young people who were eager to become good teachers. His happiest years were those after the realization of his dream, that of a school sending out trained teachers into the rural schools of Eastern North Carolina, had come true. Professor Ragsdale worked untiringly for its establishment and lived to see the school a force in the educational work of the state and ranking high among the normal schools of the whole country. It was fitting that his co-workers made Professor Ragsdale a member of the first faculty. To the students, who were prospective teachers, he was an inspiration. He kept them in touch with the actual conditions and problems as he met them daily in the schools of Pitt County. His colleagues were in turn an inspiration to him: he was quick to catch new ideas of worth and put them to work in the country schools. I !i practical knowledge of educational affairs, coupled with his years of experience, his sane judgment, optomistic nature, and never-failing tact, made him of inestimable value to the college. child as ot greater value tl
