This year also, the Institution was given A rating by the North Carolina State Board of Edu- cation. Miss Mary Mattoon and Mrs. Emma Thomas, daughters of the first President, Dr. Mattoon, made a gift of fifteen acres of land to the Institution thereby increasing its grounds from sixty to seventy- five acres. The gift brought great rejoicing during the fifieth anniversary celebration of the Institu- tion ' s founding. It was also in 1921 that Mrs. Johnson C.
