but city buses, and privately owned automobiles that run over paved, not cobblestone or dirt streets. The sidewalks have also been paved. ' Nearly every home has electric lights and running water. The streets are also wellilighted. Many large fireproof buildings have been built in other sections, as well as in the heart of the city. The Memorial Auditorium in honor of the World War dead, is perhaps used by the largest number of people. The North Carolina State Oiiicc Building and the Supreme Court Building are two of the most beautiful structures in Raleigh. The men and women that have done their bit to foster education have much of which to be proud. In 1931, the compulsory eight month school term was passed. In 194-1, the twelfth grade was added. These two things helped the city to realize the need for more buildings. Today Raleigh has three public high schools, two for white and one for Negroes. Therelare twelve ,grammar schools, nine for white, and three for Negroes. There are over 5,000 chil- dren enrolled in schools. A total of 308 people are em- ployed in these schools. The course of study ranges from the college preparatory to the vocational. There are four colleges for whites and two for Negroes here. Located here are two hospitals for white and one for Negroes. ' The social life of Raleigh has taken on a different trend in this century. Woman's Clubs, Country Clubs, golf courses, picture shows, conventions, and athletics of all kinds serve as drawing cards for people in all walks of life. Raleigh has two daily newspapers, and is the home of various other publications. Two radio broadcasting stations are within the city. Communication, as well as transportation, has had and is having its share in the history of Raleigh. As one studies the history of Raleigh, one will realize that it is serving the purpose for which it was irst laid out-that of a capital-and with it goes progress. Lunm HELEN Psscrnu.. 1-X 'If.'

On that day in Raleigh, the State of North Carolina severed its connection with the Union. When the decision of the State Convention was announced, one hundred guns were fired and the bells of the city were rung. The people went wild. Three companies of men were at once organized. Nearly every one en- listed. Of course, there was rejoicing when the news of victory arrived, but when Sherman's army arrived at Goldsboro in April 1865, serious thoughts came into the minds of everyone. General Lee surrendered the next day. The authorities of the city prepared to surrender. The enemy marched into the city on April 13, 1865. On April 15, 1865, Lincoln was as- sassinated. Then followed another night of terror. Later Sherman ordered that a. newspaper cease pub- lication, ,because he thought one of the articles re- flected on some of his actions. By May 24, 1865, the troops were gone, but some oiiicers remained for awhile longer. On July 18, 1865, the Commissioners of Raleigh voted to accept the terms of peace and restoration to the Union. In 1892, Raleigh's Centennial Celebration was held. Invitations were sent to notables all over the State requesting their presence on October 18, 19, and 20. Church services, parades, fireworks, addresses, and entertainments, floats to represent historical events that were connected with North Carolina as well as Raleigh itself, all centered on the anniversary. From its beginning, Raleigh has been filled with men and women whose names have gone down in his- tory in that they have been honored by having build- ings, streets, parks, hospitals, and churches bear their names. An example of one was Needham B. Brough- ton, for whom Needham B. Broughton High School is named. In 1856, Needham B. Broughton, an orphan lad, came to Raleigh from his rural home nearby. He was the fifth child of seven children. Since father died when he was seven, his mother placed him in a printing oilice to learn the art of printing. He learned it well. In 1872 he united with C. B. Edwards in the establishment of a book and job printing oihce. Today this establishment is still known as Edwards 8: Broughton Company. tl In church and Sunday school work, Needham B. Broughton had no superior. ' He was a deacon at the Tabernacle Baptist Church, he was Superintendent of the Sunday school, Secretary of the Baptist State Convention, Trustee of Wake Forest College, and the Baptist Female University fMeredith Collegej, be- W 9. .Qi .

He was known throughout the State for his efforts in all that made for advancement, both moral and material, of the people. With pen, tongue, and purse he took his place among the great and good men. In 1900, Raleigh, having a population of ...... , was fast becoming a city. Every year has found ' 'people in increasing numbers coming to the city, until now, in 1942, there are more than 446,000 people here. Many improvements have taken place that have been typical of the progress of the State and country in the iirst 42 years of the century. For transportation, there are no longer street cars,
