Public Instruction in the Eighties in North Carolina
A reprint of the 1881 North Carolina Educational Journal recounts early public schooling in North Carolina. It quotes Miss Maggie Blank’s rickety schoolhouse, moral laxity, and debt-ridden towns, alongside praise for educators like Rev. J F Heitman and Prof. George T Winston. The piece notes low funding, two month sessions, and poor pay, yet lists familiar educators and hints at gradual reform toward consolidation, compulsory schooling, and better salaries.
