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 that
something should be said as to changes made in this work. At a
session of the North Carolina Board of Education, held November
22d, 1881, it was resolved that "the Board expressly reserve to
itself the right to require further revisions" in Moore's School
History of North Carolina, the second edition of which was then
adopted 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 effort
to perfect this work. To Mrs. C. P. Spencer, E. J. Hale, Esq.,
of New York, and Hon. Montford McGehee, Commissioner of
Agriculture, the work is indebted for many valuable suggestions,
but still more largely to Col. W. L. Saunders, Secretary of
State, who has aided assiduously not only in its revision, but
in its progress through the press.

The teacher of North Carolina History will be greatly aided in
the work by having a wall map of North Carolina before the
