Educational Plants Hardly LCHM Prominent Thun Industrial. (H. H. Edmonds, Editor, in Manu facturer's Record.) On tho highway from Haleigh through Durbam and Greensboro and Charlotte to Spartanburg and beyond the motorist is scarcely out of one industrial town before another is in sight. At some points the factory towns are almost as close together as in the densely-populated sections of Now England. One factory town al most runs into another, and the great cotton mills, surrounded by hundreds of operatives' houses, in dicate the rising prosperity of this section mid the concentration of tho enorgy of its people on industrial pursuits. Next to this feature of the landscape which commands the trav eler's attention is tlx; unusual list of colleges ulong the Hue. Tin-re are colleges, many of them, al Haleigh; and theil come Wake Kniest, a great Baptist institution, and Trinity, so richly endowed by thc Dukes, of Dur ham; the state University at Chapel Hill; a few miles farther on is Klon College; then Greensboro, Charlotte and Spartanhurg, with their colleges of Ililli rank and line equipment for men and women alike. All through this section college life is becoming more and more a factor with all classes. Thc standard ol' college work is steadily advancing. In Snar t nibing there is one woman's col lege, Converse, which, in connection with tho people of that enterprising city, has an annual musical festival which is an event in life of the whole (.(Mitral South, and which is probabl) unmatched by any musical effort by any other, college in tho Knited States. The college feature of this region is almost as striking and even more interesting than the long list of in dustrial enterprises which one sees wherever he travels, for these col leges bespeak both prosperity and educational progress. It is to the prosperity of these industrial enter j prises that the prosperity of many of j these colleges is due. The increasing j wealth of the South is making pos sible increasing educational advant i ages, and all through this section the colleges are overcrowded, the num ber of students seeking admission generally exceeding the accommoda tions. !
