Think of beautiful children growing up in a home where "excoriating" people who differ with you is regarded as a manly Christian exercise! It is pitiful beyond words.

There is no way to lift up life that is on so low a level except by the free education of all the people.

Let us work for that and, when the growlers are done growling and forgotten, better men will remember us with gratitude.
I felt greatly complimented and pleased to receive an invitation the other day to attend the North Carolina Teachers' Assembly in June.

I have many things to do in June, but I am going--going with great pleasure.

I hope to see you there.
