Tribute to Mr. Turlington A XOBLE, humble, and good man was Ira Tlionias Tuidington. Fondness for books, which he showed as a boy, led to his thorough preparation for college and to his entering the University of Xorth Carolina at twenty years of age. Upon graduation from the University, he founded Pleasant Hill Academy, and edited (he Smithfield Hcrahl for two years. In 1886 he founded Sniithfield Collegiate Institute, name of which changed 1891 to Turlington Institute, and which is now Turlington Graded School in honor of him. He did ten times as much for education in his native county of Johnston as any other person. For twenty- three years he was County Superintendent of Schools, and planned and thought for the progress of education. He undertook the arduous but loved labors of unfolding and uplifting the minds and instilling the highest moral principles into the hearts of the pupils he taught. His labors were as the labors of ten because his heart was pure. His faith and consecration were increased by the family altar by his fireside. He realized that Reading maketh a full man, and this made him a better leader. On his classes he drew from his storehouse of fact, fancy and experience, and taught with such life and ability that his pupils wondered that one small head could carry all he knew. His influence and service were multiplied, for he taught those who were to become doctors, lawyers, teachers, preachers, merchants, farmers, congressmen, and statesmen. ISTo one has been of as much service to Johnston County as he. Turlingt.oh Institute was a fount of knowledge and a shrine of learning. Professor Turlington was a gentleman according to Thackeray ' s definition : What is it to be a gentleman? It is to have lofty aims, to lead a pure life, to keep your honor virgin, to have the esteem of your fellow citizens, and the love of your fireside ; to bear good fortune meekly, to suffer evil with constancy ; and through evil or good to maintain truth always. Show me the happy man whose life exhibits these qualities and him we will salute as gentleman, whatever Jjis rank may be. The message of his life to us is: Be eager and faithful in your work, and always fair with one another. Do your best at all times, to be manly, kind, tolerant, forgiving, thoughtful, energetic, ambitious, intellectual, happy-hearted, altruistic, and spiritual— be a lover of nature, a lover of life, a lover of man, and a lover of God.
