Book excerpt: Excerpt from Proceedings of the Fourth Conference for Education in the South: Held at Winston-Salem, North Carolina April 18, 19 and 20, 1901 It is our Union, it is our own country; we are one people, one in purpose, and in high aim, and in noble aspiration, one in a settled purpose. So I welcome you to this state, now the more. Gladly because we have entered upon a new era of educational things in North Carolina. I referred a moment ago to the campaign which we ran last year. While I shall not say anything that shall remind us of partisanship, I will remind you that that campaign was made an educational one, and every son and daughter within her bounds shall have an opportunity to be edu cated: we are keeping the pledge for education in this state. Three-sevenths of all the taxes of all the state levies are set apart for the running of public schools. I doubt if any other state does so much; other states have larger funds because other states are richer, but we pay three sevenths of our total state levy for the running of public schools. In addition to that, we have doubled this year the appropriation which we had but once before made in aid of public schools, and we have declared that there shall be no precinct, there shall be no school, white or colored, in which a four months' term shall not run this year. That is not much, but that is something, and is but an earnest of the things which we shall do. We have made it certain that our children shall be educated; we have written it in our constitution that any child who comes of age after 1908 can never vote in this state unless he can read and write, and that law applies to white and colored alike.
