During the past twenty-five years four philanthropic agencies have contributed $1,877,132.00 towards the promotion of Negro Education in North Carolina:

State Agents of Rural Schools, [column 1] 71,610.69 [column 2] 3. County Training Schools, [column 1] 103,222.95 [column 2] 4. Training of Teachers in County Training Schools, [column 1] 2,762.00 [column 2] 5. Summer Schools, [column 1] 25,724.42 [column 2] 6. Home Makers Clubs [column 1] 17,014.31 [column 2] 7.

The constant aim of the Board has been to stimulate progress and to increase efficiency, and in all of the gifts to institutions it has sought to assist the officials and not to act as a patron. The appropriations made for public education have been made upon the request of public school officials, and have been used under the specific directions of local county, town, and city super

tendents and boards of education. When a contribution is made the local school officials are free to use it for the purpose agreed upon. The Board has never, in any way, indicated the slightest desire to exercise any control whatsoever over the administration of the schools, either public or private. What is done is done with a keen desire to be of assistance in providing a satisfactory school system for the children of the state.

All North Carolina people will remember with appreciation the Farm Demonstration work initiated and promoted some years ago by Dr. Seaman A. Knapp. His program was financed by the General Education Board. Likewise, North Carolinians will remember with gratitude the splendid work of Dr. C. W. Stiles in the eradification ofhook worm from our state. The Rockefeller Health Board provided the funds to carry out his program.

As the Farm Demonstration program was an aid in the economic development of North Carolina, and the Hook Worm Eradication program brought health and longer like to thousands of our people, so the General Education Board, and the other Funds discussed in this paper, are [begin crossed out] one [end crossed out] ^([an?]) aid in the development of an educational program for all North Carolina people. (It is probably not generally well known that the General Education Board has made large contributions for the education of white people also. A person who knew the facts, stated a few years ago that the Board had given for white education in the South about 5 dollars for each dollar contributed for Negro education).

Appropriations to the Normal Schools were made to purchase modern equipment for modern buildings erected by the State.

For fourteen years the salary and expenses of the Director of Negro Education have been paid under the head of "State Agents of Rural Schools". An assistant's salary has been paid in part for the past six years.
