(Continued from page 1)commissioned a first lieutenant. Hewasserving with the 15th Machine GunBattalion at the time of his death.We are reprinting herewith an edi-torial from the Greensboro Batty Newsof September 15, 1918:“The cablegram which Tuesday night

brought from overseas the news ofFrank Thompson’s death in action, Sep-tember 13, will carry as widespreadgrief as the passing of any North Caro-lina soldier. ‘“Mr. Thompson, who was a Raleighboy, had gained great reputation as acollege athlete and trainer of baseballand football teams. He was a typicalNorth Carolina boy, who played thegame for all that was in it, but neverplayed it unfairly. The clean collegesport of which he was such a giftedexponent and so skilled a representa-tive was advanced as definitely underhim as any trainer or player ever did.He played in many places in NorthCarolina, often in Greensboro. and thepresence of Thompson in the line-up oras coach of the team was guarantee ofa good game and gentlemanly tactics.“Perhaps the sporting instinct led him

as quickly into the war as he could getthere. He was a volunteer when theoffering was not obligatory nor likelyto be. .The game of war as interpretedby Germany was shocking to his senseof fair play, and it was just as impos-sible for Frank Thompson to remainout of a war in which. the rules ofnations were being outraged as it wastosee dirty baseball or football go onwithout protesting.“The reports give no details of thisfine young fellow’s death in battle. He

was a lieutenant in a machine—gun com-pany. He chose a position that calledfor action against the enemy. Playingthe game of life fairly and the gamesof skill cleverly, his friends at homeknow that his brief life as a soldierwas filled with honorable deeds, andthat as he taught boys how gentlemenshould play, he showed them evenbetter how a real soldier may die.”M.

DR. W. F. MASSEY DIES INMARYLAND

Salisbury, Md., March 30.—-Dr. Wil-bur Fisk Massey, one of the most widelyknown horticulturists in America, diedat his home here this afternoon aftera brief illness. He was 83 years ofage. Funeral services will be held at10:30 o’clock Monday morning.North Carolina friends of Dr. Masseywere informed of his death in tele-

grams received yesterday afternoon,and his passing will be noted with keensorrow throughout the State, where hewas widely known, not only as one ofthe members of the first faculty ofState College, but as contributing editorHe livedin Raleigh for 16 years.“The Father of the Cowpea” was the

name by which Dr. Massey was bestknown in North Carolina. More thana quarter of a century ago he developedthe fact that cowpeas are an importantfactor in soil enrichment, liberatingnitrogen and other plant foods in thesoil. He advocated the planting ofpeas for land enrichment, and his dis-covery has been an important factor inthe development of agriculture in theSouth.Dr. Massey was born in AccomacCounty, Virginia, September 30, 1893,and received his education at Washing-ton College, Maryland, and at Dickin-son College, Pennsylvania. After hisgraduation in 1858 he went west andwas engaged in railroad constructionin New Mexico, on the old Transcon-tinental. At the outbreak of the warhe returned to Virginia and enlisted inthe Confederate service.After the war he went to KentCounty, Maryland, where he becamehead of the newly reorganized systemof public schools, and at the same timeengaged in the nursery and florist busi-ness. which was later transferred toBaltimore. After twenty years in KentCounty, he determined to devote his en-tire time to teaching agricultural sub-jects. For four years he taught in theMiller School at Albemarle, Va.With the foundation of North Caro-lina State College here in 1889, Dr.

Massey was elected professor" of horti-culture and botany, and investigatorfor the North Carolina Experiment Sta-tion. He continued as a member of thefaculty from 1889 to 1905, when heretired from active teaching and re-turned to Maryland.Before and after his return to Mary-land he continued to write extensivelyfor agricultural publications. He wasassociate editor of The ProgressiveFarmer, _The Southern Planter, TheSouthern Farm Gazette, Market Grow-ers’ Journal, and The Southern Agri-culturtst. He is also the author ofseveral books 011 horticultural subjects,among them, “Crop Growing and CropFeeding,” and “Practical Farming forthe American Farmer.”—Raletgh Newsand. Observer, March 31. »A Pioneer in Diversified FarmingProf. W. F. Massey, who died yester-day at Salisbury. Md.. did more, per-haps. to teach diversified agriculturein North Carolina than any one else inthe last twenty-five years. As a mem-ber of the faculty of the State College,in special articles in The ProgressiveFarmer, The News and Observer, andother papers, and in going aboutthrough the State visiting farmers per-sonally and attending and speaking atfarmers’ meetings he carried on vigor-ously for years the work of promotingmodern farming and had a very great_ part in making possible the high rankwhich North Carolina now takes as anagricultural State. The State owesmuch of the credit for its materialadvance to the quiet, unostentatious,but thoroughly effective work of Pro-fessor Massey. He was a pioneer in ‘diversified farming—Editorial, RaleighNews and Observer.

Eight games won, one tied, and nodefeats is the record to date. The starthas been brilliant, with Wake Forest,Guilford, and Elon already eliminatedfrom the championship race, but thetesting time is yet to come. The serieswith Carolina and Trinity will tell thetale. If the team keeps up the paceno aggregation in this neck of thewoods will be able to stop the flyingTechmen, and we confidently expectHartsell‘s men to bear up under thestrain.

The team is hitting the ball hard andoften, with a team average well over.300, and the fielding is»mighty con-sistent. Couple these important itemswith the fine pitching the hurlers havebeen displaying and you have a com-bination hard to beat.The great showing of the team thisspring in no small measure is due tothree youngsters, Correll, centerfield;Faulkner, catcher, and Gladstone, sec-ond base. These were the positions tobe filled at the beginning of the season,and in the trio above Hartsell foundjust the men for the jobs. Each manhas come through handsomely.The letter men, also, without a singleexception, have put up a fine brand ofbaseball. Captain Redfearn, shortstop,Holland, third base, Lassiter, first base,and Ruth and Johnson in the outfield,have shown a steadiness under firethat stamps the 1923 team as one ofthe greatest in history.Curtis and Allen, pitchers, have neverlooked better than they do this spring,and Beal, after two years on the squad,at last seems able to take his regularturn in the box.The score by innings of the gamesplayed to date follows:At Riddick Field, March 30R.

ADDRESS OF THE LATE W. J.PEELE AT THE LAYINGOF THE CORNERSTONE OFHOLLADAY HALL, AU-GUST 22, 1888

In Three InstallmentsI

[EDITOR’S NOTE—The next three is-sues of ALUMNI NEWS will carry in-stallments of Mr. Peele’s address at thelaying of the cornerstone. This is inline with the policy recently adoptedof printing from time to time histori-cal matter about the College. Later inthe year we will use the address ofMr. Buxton in presenting the Peeleportrait to the College, and Mr. Owen’s“Short Sketches of College History”will also be resumed]It is said that ten years before theagitation of the movement culminatingin this institution some farmers inEdgecombe County suggested the pro-priety of an agricultural college. Asthe benefits of industrial education havebeen more or less familiar to all well-informed persons for the past twenty-five years, it is quite probable that thesuggestion was actually made as wasalleged. It was either not very wellreceived or not much insisted upon, fornone of the originators of this move-ment ever heard of it.But it is not the purpose of thispaper to treat of mere suggestions. Itwas said of John Huss that if he hadlived a century later he would nothave been burned at the stake, and thathis reformation would have succeededlike Luther’s. How this would havebeen we cannot tell. All that we nowknow is that he did not live a centurylater, that his reformation did notsucceed like Luther’s, and that he wasburned at the'stake. It is my purposein this paper to show that nearly tenyears later than ten years ago the pro-priety of establishing an industrialschool in North Carolina was suggestedamong some young men of this city;that when they showed how the thingcould be done, and that then. with thepowerful assistance of many others,they went ahead and did it.It is also the further purpose of thispaper to record the names of the prin—cipal actors in this movement. Thereare some like Mr. Primrose, Mr. Pullen,Dr. Dabney, and Mr. Page, whosenames will always be indissolubly con-nected with this institution. There arealso others like Colonel Green, Mr.Williams, and Mr. Leazar, of the Boardof Agriculture, whose names ought tobe underscored on the cornerstone.There are still others like Mr. Winslow,Mr. Leach, and Mr. Ashley, of theWatauga Club, Mr. Dixon, Mr. R. Win-ston, and Mr. Fries, in the Legislature,Major Harding, Major Tucker, Mr.Bailey, and Mr. W. G. Upchurch, of thecitizens, and Colonel Polk, of the Pro-gressive Farmer, whose services are apart of the history of industrial educa-tion in North Carolina.On May 26, 1884, the Watauga Club,which had just then been formed,adopted a prospectus of its principlesand purposes, containing the followingclause: “We proceed upon the assump-tion, which cannot be denied, that thereis in our community a serious lack of

accurate and practical -~ informationupon the most common economic ques-tions which arise for our considera-tion.” In response to this sentiment,one of the members, whose age couldnot exceed 36 years at that time, whohad been appointed to “address theclub upon any subject he may elect,”prepared and read at the next regularmeeting of June 18 a paper upon “In-dustrial Education and the Feasibilityof Establishing an Industrial School inNorth Carolina.” From time to timeother papers were read and suggestionsoffered as to the most practical plansfor establishing such school.(NOTE—These young men, the mem-bers of the Watauga Club, were WalterPage, W. E. Ashley, A. D. Jones, G. E.Leach, Charles Latta, John W. Thomp—son, Dr. R. H. Lewis, who withdrewvery shortly from the club, and W. J.Peele. Arthur Winslow joined a littlelater, as also did Dr. Dabney, as didalso Mr. Thomas Dixon, Jr., during thesession of the General Assembly, or alittle before.)(NOTE—I made my usual industrialeducation speech, but it never struckfire before. I left the memorandum inpencil with Mr. Primrose about fouryears later—the memorandum was usedmerely as notes in making the speech.)On the 17th of December, 1884, acommittee was appointed with instruc-tions to present to the club at its nextregular meeting, to be held in January,1885, a “definite report” upon the prac-ticability of establishing an industrialschool in North Carolina, “with a Viewof submitting the same to the Legisla-ture, which should then be in session.”At the next meeting of the club,January 7, 1885, Mr. Arthur Winslow,_ himself a graduate of an industrialschool, read the report of the com-mittee. On the 15th of January, at acalled meeting of the club, Mr. W. H.Page offered the following:“Resolved, That a committee be ap-pointed to memorialize the Legislaturein the name of this club to establish anindustrial school in North Carolina, andrespectfully offer to the Legislature, ora proper committee thereof, all the in-formation on the subject in possessionof the club; that the committee beempowered, if need be, to publish suchinformation also.”(Norm—Winslow was a graduate ofthe Boston School of Technology andwas an exhibit in our case.his house where the Conns now live,one Sunday afternoon effectually settledthe question whether the school shouldbe agricultural as well as industrial bysaying that we would never get the billthrough the d—n farmer Legislatureunless there was some agriculture in itsomewhere.)This resolution was adopted, andMessrs. Page, Winslow, and others wereappointed as the committee. With theassistance of Dr. Dabney, the commit-tee prepared a memorial, the substanceof which is as follows:“1. 'To establish an industrial schoolin North Carolina, a training place inthe wealth-producing arts and sciences.“2. To be located at Raleigh in con-nection with the State Agricultural De-partment.

Page, at

“3. To erect a suitable building andprovide proper equipment.“4. That the instruction be in wood-work, mining, metallurgy, and practi-cal agriculture. _“5. That necessary shops and labora-tories be erected adjoining the build-ings of the Agricultural Department,and that an experimental farm in theVicinity of Raleigh be equipped.“6. That an industrial school is ofprime importance and greatly in de-mand."To this was subjoined informationand estimates of cost. .The committee appeared before theLegislative Committee on Education,whose acting chairman was Mr. Leazar.Mr. Thomas Dixon, an enthusiastic be-liever in industrial education, intro—duced a bill of his own without waitingfor the report of the committee. Mr.Leazar, for the committee, subsequentlyintroduced the bill which became theact of 1885. The bill passed the Houseby a vote of 51 to 11. In the SenateMessrs. R. W. Winston, Willis R. Wil-liams, Captain S. B. Alexander, andMajor John Gatling, deceased, Were itsspecial champions. It passed by a voteof 23 to 9, becoming a law on the 7thday of March, 1885.The time will come when posteritywill demand the ayes and noes on thisbill, but I will not call them today.The bill became a law not without con-siderable difliculty. Some opposed itbecause they. were fossils and opposeeverything; s’ome feared it would ulti-mately draw the Land Scrip Fundaway from the University. It was thegeneral opinion of its friends at thetime it was passed that it would havefailed if it had called for one dollarfrom the general treasury.The main features of the act areinteresting at this day. It provides:1. That the Board of Agricultureshould seek proposals of donations fromthe cities and towns of North Carolina,and when an adequate donation shouldbe made by any city or town, therethe school should be located, giving theplace the preference which offered thegreatest inducements.2. That the school should be underjoint control of the Board of Agricul-ture and directors from such town orcity.3. That the instruction should be inwoodwork, mining, metallurgy, practi—cal agriculture, and such other branchesof industrial education as may bedeemed expedient.4. That the Board of Agricultureshould be authorized to apply annually$5,000 of the surplus funds of theirdepartment to the establishment andmaintenance of said school.Pursuant to act of Assembly, andauthorized by resolution of the boardadopted October 15, 1885, Mr. McGehee,Commissioner of Agriculture, adver-tised for proposals. Charlotte re-sponded, offering an eligible site and$5,000 in money; Kinston offered $10,-000 in money; Raleigh offered $5,000in money (increased subsequently to$8,000), the Exposition Building, valuedat $3,000, one acre of land donated byMr. William Stronach (conditionedupon locating the school upon it), andsubsequently the use of twenty acresdonated by the directors of the StateFair, situated in the western part ofthe Fair Ground.(Continued on page 7)

They may serve college stu-dents for the removal of conditlons, orfor enabling the student to get aheadin his work.

Cotton classing courses are arrangedwith the View of helping the producerto judge good staple, and to turn h1sattention, in consequence, to the grow-ing of a better staple. They are alsohelpful to the buyer, and both buyersand producers will be admitted to thecourses.The demonstration school is intendedprimarily to be of assistance to themembers of the faculty in showmgteachers the best methods of present-ing a subject, interesting the puplls, andinspiring them to greater effort. Inel-dentally, it enables the children whoare members of the school to come intocontact with unusually skilled teachers.Instruction is limited to the first, sec-ond, fourth, fifth, sixth, and seventhgrades.There will be special courses forvocational agricultural students follow-ing the general plan of those givenheretofore during the summer sess10n.There will be courses in school admin-istration planned for superintendents,supervisors, and principals.

to who should govern the student bodyfor the next year. Nearly all of thevotes were cast before noon.The inauguration of the new officers,April 21, will be an interesting affair,and preparations for the occasion arealready under way.
