The comfort of these dormitories has been greatly enhanced by placing on every floor porcelain baths, and by the introduction of single beds and the substitution of gas with Welsbach burners for kerosene lamps. The growth of the College, from an esthetic point of view, has been no less rapid and steady. The portraits of famous men and women of this and other states, upon the College walls, teach a glorious past in which have been laid the foundations of a yet more glorious future. The services of a landscape gardener for two years have transformed the barren clay hills of the College campus into grassy slopes fringed with blooming roses. Recent donations, notably that of Mr. George Foster Peabody, render possible in the near future the development of a College park, where the students may not only do homage to Pan, but be reminded of their debt of gratitude to Xorth Carolina ' s heroes, both ])ast and present. The success of the College is forcefully demonstrated l)y the fact that there is no section of the State, and no kind of educational institution requiring women teachers with ordinary professional training, from the country public schools to our Ijest colleges, where students trained at The State Xormal and Industrial College have not been employed. It is a notable fact that nearly every city public school system in the State, from Waynesville to Wilmington, has given employment to the students of this College. Four of the six orphanages in the State, and several prominent col- leges for women, also number among their faculties ex-students of The State Normal and Industrial College. A large number of young women trained in the commercial department have been able to earn salaries ranging from $300 to $1,200 a year as stenographers and bookkeepers, some of these positions having been secured by civil service examinations. The scope of patronage for the past ten years liears testimony, not only to the need of such an institution, but to the wisdom of its policy. In the Presi- dent ' s last report this policy is well defined as follows : ' ■ The State Normal and Industrial College stands for a public educational system that will educate all the people. It teaches its students and urges them to teach others the doctrine of universal education. The authorities of the insti- tution regard the College as a part of the public school system of the State, and believe that it has a duty to discharge, not only to those who study within its walls, but to that great body of people who, for one reason or another, will not enter this or any other school or college. ■• The greatest amount of educational opportunity to the greatest number of people, is its motto and its aim. ' ithout reservation, members of its faculty stand for local taxation for public schools, and for every movement which tends to secure to the State effective teaching for every child, preparing him for pro- ductive labor and intelligent citizenship. This institution undertakes to emphasize, in every legitimate way, that any svstem of educatimi whicli refuses td recognize the equal educational rights of women with those of men is unjust, unwise, and permanently hurtful.
