SCHOOL HISTORY OF NORTH CAROLINA,FROM 1584 TO THE PRESENT TIME.
BY JOHN W. MOORE.REVISED AND ENLARGED.
PREFACE TO REVISED EDITION.
In the publication of a fourteenth edition it seems proper thatsomething should be said as to changes made in this work. At asession of the North Carolina Board of Education, held November22d, 1881, it was resolved that "the Board expressly reserve toitself the right to require further revisions" in Moore's SchoolHistory of North Carolina, the second edition of which was thenadopted for use in the public schools.
Conforming to this requirement of the State Board of Education,the author has diligently sought aid and counsel in the effortto perfect this work. To Mrs. C. P. Spencer, E. J. Hale, Esq.,of New York, and Hon. Montford McGehee, Commissioner ofAgriculture, the work is indebted for many valuable suggestions,but still more largely to Col. W. L. Saunders, Secretary ofState, who has aided assiduously not only in its revision, butin its progress through the press.
The teacher of North Carolina History will be greatly aided inthe work by having a wall map of North Carolina before theclass, and to this end the publishers have prepared a good andaccurate school map, which will be furnished at a special lowprice.
