Whereas the Constitution of North Carolina, article two, see- tion nine, authorizes the State to make provisions for her feeble- minded, idiots, and imbeciles; and whereas it is necessary from a humanitarian, economic, and health standpoint that some provi- sion be made for this class of unfortunates: now, therefore, The General Assembly of North Carolina do enact:
The board of trustees shall have power to take any measures which they deem expedient for encouraging subscriptions, donations, and bequests to said school; to take charge of al) the interests and concerns of said school: to enter into and bin said institution by such compacts and engagements as they may deem advantageous; to make such rules and regulations for thei own government and that of the school, not inconsistent with thi: act, as may appear to them reasonable and proper. They ma} sue and be sued, and own all classes of property, both real anc personal, that may be advantageous to said school.
