This magazine is published by the\nAmerican Missionary Association quarterly. Subscription rate fifty\ncents per year.\n\nMany wonderful missionary developments in our own country during\nthis stirring period of national enlargement are recorded in the\ncolumns of this magazine.\n\n       *       *       *       *       *\n\nTHE AMERICAN MISSIONARY.\n\nVOL. LIV.     APRIL, 1900.     No. 2.\n\n       *       *       *       *       *\n\nFINANCIAL--SIX MONTHS.\n\n\nThe first six months of the present fiscal year of the American\nMissionary Association closed March 31st. The receipts are\n$18,961.74 more than for the same period last year. The increase in\ndonations is $10,699, and in estates $6,433.24, exclusive of the\nreserve legacy account. The tuition and similar receipts are\n$1,829.49 more than last year. This is a favorable and encouraging\nshowing. We gratefully acknowledge the generosity of the friends of\nthe great missionary work carried on by this Association, as evident\nin their increased donations.\n\nThe payments during this period have been $17,595 more than for the\nsame months last year. The net balance, exclusive of the reserve\nlegacy account, is $1,366.74 more favorable than that for the first\nsix months of last year. The increase in current receipts has been\nexpended in the mission fields which have been so greatly crippled\nby the enforced retrenchments during recent years.\n\nThe Association rejoices in its freedom from debt and in the\nfavorable showing for these first six months. The next six months\ninclude the summer season, in which missionary gifts are often\ngreatly reduced and the income suffers. We would again remind the\npastors, Sunday-school superintendents, officers of Endeavor\nSocieties and Woman's Missionary Circles of the great and pressing\nneed upon the Association, both in old and new fields, among the\nmany millions for whom our faithful missionaries labor. Porto Rico\ndemands increased gifts. The field is opening with great hopefulness\nboth in educational and evangelistic lines. Word comes from\nmissionaries there urging reinforcements, which means more\nconsecrated money to meet this pressing necessity.\n\n       *       *       *       *       *\n\nA WORD AS TO THE MAGAZINE.\n\n\nLetters frequently come to the editor of this magazine expressing\nregret that it does not reach the subscriber regularly each month.\nNo one can regret this fact more than the editor. It must be\nremembered that the magazine is no longer a monthly, but a\nquarterly. This reduction in the frequency of the issue of our\nperiodical was found necessary by the Executive Committee during the\nhard financial conditions through which we have recently passed. In\norder to economize in the expenditures, the four numbers per year\nwere decided upon. The economy was necessary. The disadvantages,\nhowever, are very apparent. Large space in each magazine is\nnecessarily occupied by the statistical report of receipts. This is\nessential. It is an important financial safeguard and an evidence of\nthe thorough business administration of the Association.\n\nHowever, less space is left for general matter. Partially on account\nof this restriction of space the magazine has taken a slightly\ndifferent complexion. It is our desire to present as complete as\npossible the nature and conditions of the missionary work in our\nvarious fields. The discussion of incidental or even fundamental\nproblems connected with the work of this Association is not often\npossible. Those who contribute to this work either money or prayers\nhave a right to know what is being accomplished. Nothing can present\nit so clearly as illustrated articles, prepared by those who are in\nthese mission fields. In the current issue two important schools are\npresented in this way.\n\nIn the Department of Christian Endeavor the development of work\namong the young people of the Highlands is interestingly presented.\nDuring the current year we plan to present our secondary\ninstitutions as the higher institutions were presented--through\nillustrated articles during the last year.\n\nWe acknowledge with gratitude the pleasant words spoken concerning\nthe AMERICAN MISSIONARY in various periodicals. The cordial notices\nin missionary cotemporaries of other denominations, and those of our\nown mission schools, is especially appreciated.\n\nA commission consisting of two members of the Executive Committee\nhave recently visited the mission field. Rev. E. S. Tead, of Boston,\nand President T. J. Backus, of Brooklyn, were selected by the\ncommittee for this special service. They were accompanied by the\nsenior secretary, Rev. A. F. Beard, and through a part of the field\nby Sec. G. H. Gutterson, of the New England District. They carefully\ninspected several of the schools of the Association, and their visit\nwas of great value. The testimony they bear to the efficiency of the\nwork and to the interests of the field is pronounced and emphatic.\nIn a future issue of this magazine we hope to present articles from\nmembers of this commission which will be of great interest to our\nreaders. The testimony of an experienced pastor and prominent\neducator must have great weight.\n\nStrong testimony to the value of the educational work among the\nnegroes is found in _Harpers' Weekly_ for February 10th. In an able\neditorial on \"Negro Education,\" we find the following: \"The storm\nand stress period of the South is still upon it. The curse of\nslavery has not yet been removed. But it is clear that the schools\nare sending the light into the dark places, and that everything that\nshuts off or reduces the brilliancy of the light is inimical not\nonly to the negro, but to the whites themselves, to the South, and\nto the whole country.\" No truer word than this could be spoken. The\neducation of the negro is not a question of sectional or local\nimportance alone. It is fundamental to the safety and development of\nour country. There are in the Southern public schools 27,445\nteachers employed in teaching negroes. Twenty-six per cent. of the\naverage attendance of school children in the Southern States,\nincluding the District of Columbia, are negroes. The total\nenrollment of the blacks constitute, however, only 52 per cent. of\nthe children of that race of school age. This fact again emphasizes\nthe necessity of such schools as the American Missionary Association\nplants among these black people. The high grade and exceptional\ncharacter of these schools are certainly worthy of commendation. The\nreport of our commissioners based upon facts personally and\nindependently gathered by each will present the conditions as they\nare. The years of heroic and sacrificial service on the part of a\nbody of missionaries and teachers, unsurpassed in any field, are\nbringing their legitimate and noble fruitage.\n\n       *       *       *       *       *\n\nFIFTY-FOURTH ANNUAL MEETING.\n\n\nSpringfield, Mass., has set the doors of its hospitality wide open\nin its welcome to the Fifty-fourth Annual Meeting of the American\nMissionary Association. This city occupies an ideal position for\nsuch a convention. It is the center of many railroad lines, both\nsteam and electric. A large population are resident in the towns and\ncities and countryside, easily accessible through these lines of\ntransportation. It is so located geographically that many of our\nmost populous states are within easy distance. Add to this the\ncordial enthusiasm of the churches and citizens who invite the\nAssociation, and we have every element of a great and inspiring\nmeeting. Already committees are organized and arrangements are being\nperfected for this meeting.\n\nFull particulars will be given in a future number of the MISSIONARY,\nand in our Congregational papers. Rev. Philip S. Moxom, D.D.,\nSpringfield, Mass., is the chairman of the general committee, and\nwill receive and pass over to the proper sub-committee any\ncorrespondence which may reach him.\n\n       *       *       *       *       *\n\nTILLOTSON COLLEGE, AUSTIN, TEXAS.\n\nM. R. GAINES, PRESIDENT.\n\n\n[Illustration: ALLEN HALL, TILLOTSON COLLEGE]\n\nJanuary 17, 1881, witnessed the opening of this institution. It was\nchristened \"Tillotson Institute.\" The age of \"romance\" in the\neducation of the negro was well-nigh passed. The matter-of-fact\nbrain of the late Rev. George J. Tillotson, of Wethersfield, Conn.,\nformulated the plan, and his generous heart enabled him, with the\naid of individual contributors and the American Missionary\nAssociation, to carry his plan into execution. His purpose was to\ngive the negroes of this far-away Southwest opportunities for\nsecuring an education equal to those of any other portion of our\nfair land. With this end in view he visited Austin and secured an\nideal site for the coming college, destined to become the \"Yale of\nthe Southwest.\" Austin contains the magnificent Capitol, the State\nUniversity, St. Edward's College and other schools, public and\nprivate, besides the state institutions for the insane, the blind,\nthe deaf, the aged soldier and the orphan. Within the limits of the\ncity, and yet removed from its din and dust, commanding views of\nmany of these buildings, and of the far-reaching valley of the\nColorado and the wooded hills beyond, our campus of twenty acres is\na delight to the eye. Undulating, well suited for drainage, well\nstocked with shade trees and a profusion of wild flowers in their\nseason, it is at once beautiful, healthful and inspiring.\n\n[Illustration: CARPENTER SHOP, TILLOTSON COLLEGE.]\n\nThe first building erected on this lot was Allen Hall. It stands on\na hill of easy ascent, and is a substantial structure of stone and\nbrick, five stories in height. While it was approaching completion,\nas story after story was added, the ambitious and intelligent young\ncolored people watched its growth, eagerly anticipating the time\nwhen they would \"enter its basement and ascend story by story, till\nthey should step out upon the roof full-fledged college graduates.\"\n\nMoney for the purchase of the lot came mostly from Mr. Tillotson's\nown purse. His efforts in soliciting funds were largely instrumental\nin securing the means for erecting and furnishing the building. The\nlist of contributors to this part of the undertaking included the\nnames of men well known for their literary works, philanthropy,\npatriotism and fidelity to the Saviour of Men. Most of those early\ndonors have passed from earth, but they are still an inspiration to\nall engaged in the work, and we of this generation can clasp hands\nwith them in the purpose and effort to make real their intentions.\nThough dead \"their works do follow them.\"\n\nFor fourteen years Allen Hall afforded all the space available for\ndormitories for teachers and students of both sexes, dining-room,\nstudy-room, recitation rooms, chapel and church services. A series\nof partitions divided each floor, from basement to attic, into east\nand west halls. A small addition in the rear served for kitchen.\n\n[Illustration: BOYS IN CARPENTER SHOP, TILLOTSON COLLEGE.]\n\nAt the opening of the school there was no charge for tuition. The\naspirants for an education \"without money and without price\" carried\nthe enrollment to a point never since reached in the history of the\nschool.\n\nIn 1888 the carpenters' shop was built and industrial training was\nintroduced. An appropriation of $900 from the Slater Fund aided in\nmeeting the additional expense. A marked evidence of the\nappreciation of this advance is shown in the record of attendance,\nwhich increased nearly eighty per cent., and reached the highest\nfigures it has ever done under a charge for tuition.\n\nA material enlargement to the accommodations for teachers and\nstudents came in 1894, in the new Girls' Hall, that was occupied for\nthe first time in the autumn of that year. This was erected with\nfunds provided by the American Missionary Association, and is a\nbeautiful and convenient structure. The main part is three and a\nhalf stories in height, with wing and rear extension two and a half\nstories in height. It contains kitchen, dormitories and\nsitting-rooms for teachers and girls, and a spacious, airy and\nattractive dining hall for all.\n\nThe same year a new charter was obtained and the name changed to\n\"Tillotson College.\"\n\n[Illustration: DINING ROOM, GIRLS' HALL, TILLOTSON COLLEGE.]\n\nThe Tillotson Church of Christ in Austin was organized January 4,\n1885. Rev. J. E. Roy, D.D., Rev. Jeremiah Porter, D.D., and Rev. J.\nH. Parr, conducted the services. Twelve members were received by\nletter and seven on profession. While a large majority of the\nstudents are members of churches at entrance, comparatively few have\njoined the church of the school. The entire enrollment of active\nmembers has been one hundred and eleven. This, by no means, gives a\nfair indication of the Christian spirit and activity of the school.\nIn the religious meetings there is never any reference to\ndenominational or sectarian differences.\n\nOn the 1st of February, 1899, the church adopted the \"Mt. Holyoke\nPlan\" of a \"Wayside Covenant,\" and thirty-five teachers and students\nhave signed that and entered into fellowship with us, while\nretaining membership in their own churches.\n\nPorter Chapel, erected for outside missionary work in a needy part\nof the city, has had a checkered but useful experience. Once it was\nburned. It was rebuilt in 1890. Here Miss Martha J. Adams was wont\nto meet people, young and old, and dispense aid and comfort along\nmany lines. Here, too, have been held for many years Sunday-school\nservices, and preaching services from time to time, as strength and\nopportunity allowed.\n\n[Illustration: MECHANICAL DRAUGHTING CLASS, TILLOTSON COLLEGE.]\n\nIn the early years there were a few students, mostly children of\nteachers, in college courses, and a still smaller number in\ntheology. The aim from the first has been to give instruction in the\nelements of a good common school education, and to provide advanced\nwork for such as could complete a high school course, or were\npreparing to teach, or to continue their studies in higher\nprofessional schools elsewhere. The list of graduates is still a\nshort one. The motto, \"QUALITY NOT QUANTITY,\" finds its illustration\nhere as in all the rest of the work of the school. The standard of\nscholarship has always been high and is steadily advancing. Many who\nhave never graduated have done excellent work as teachers in the\npublic schools of the state. \"Tillotson\" students are in demand and\nare known and respected for their honesty and reliability. Of the\ngraduates, some are in responsible positions in this state, while\nothers are pursuing courses of study in higher institutions at the\nNorth, or have already entered upon professional work. The great\nwork of such a school is in its \"leveling up.\" Who shall measure\nthis? When a boy on retiring at night folds and carefully lays away\nthe sheets and pillow slips from his bed, to \"keep them clean,\" or\nwhen he thinks, on entering the dining-room, that he has \"reached\nheaven,\" evidently there is room for such work.\n\nTeachers and students together strive to make Tillotson a place of\nrefined and Christian culture. The chapel bell calls all to morning\nprayers, on school days, and to Sunday-school, church services and\nChristian Endeavor, on Sundays. Each evening the family gathers\nabout the Word at its altar in the dining-room. Bible-study is a\npart of the regular course through all the grades.\n\n[Illustration: SEWING CLASS, TILLOTSON COLLEGE.]\n\nTwenty years is a short time for estimating the harvest from such\nsowing as this. The beginning was small. The annals are meagre. Here\nhave labored earnest and consecrated men and women from the best\ninstitutions of the North. The citizens of Austin have always been\nsympathetic and helpful. Several of the most prominent of them have\nserved on the board of trustees. Many of them have contributed\ntowards the equipment of the industrial departments of the school.\n\nA small blacksmith shop on the place was a gift of the business men\nof Austin. The colored patrons of the school, in all sections of the\nstate, have always been most cordial and enthusiastic in their\ncommendation and confidence. It is little wonder that, with the\npassing of the years, the school has grown steadily in the\nestimation and affection of all classes. In the early days, the hall\nat commencement was occupied largely by white people. In these later\nyears the audiences are composed largely of intelligent and\nappreciative colored people.\n\nWhen one considers the scanty equipment of the school he can but be\nsurprised that it has accomplished so much.\n\n[Illustration: CLASS GROUP, TILLOTSON COLLEGE.]\n\nEndowment, aside from land and buildings, it has none. For income it\nhas always depended upon grants by the American Missionary\nAssociation from its own funds and the Daniel Hand estate, the\ndirect contributions of individuals, and payments by the students\nfor board and tuition. The intention is to make the expenses for\nstudents as light as possible. After the first session the charges\nfor tuition were fixed for the grammar department at $2.00 per\nmonth; for the normal department at $2.50 per month; for board and\ntuition together $12.00 per month. In 1887 the tuition for the\ngrammar department was dropped to $1.00 per month. The other charges\nremained in force for ten years, when the tuition was made the same\nfor all, $1.00 per month. To meet the necessities of the case we are\nforced to allow our students to work out at least half of these very\nmoderate charges. Nearly all the manual labor about the institution\nis done by students. Thus, in a very practical way, they help\nthemselves pecuniarily and acquire knowledge of housekeeping in its\nmanifold lines.\n\nTo train the hand as well as the head the boys receive instruction\nin carpentry and industrial draughting, and the girls have regular\nlessons in needlework, dress-making and kindred subjects.\n\n[Illustration: GIRLS' HALL, TILLOTSON COLLEGE.]\n\nTillotson has always done good work. She has made a name for\nherself. Standing, as she does, for thoroughgoing, non-sectarian,\nChristian education, for true manhood and womanhood, with mutual\nco-operation and helpfulness, with so many from all parts of this\ngreat State of Texas looking to her for light and leadership, her\nopportunities for usefulness are out of all proportion to her means.\nTo properly meet these demands she sorely needs many things. A full\nlist of imperative needs would call for too much space. A few must\nsuffice.\n\nA reasonable sum of money for endowment of professorships.\n\nA great addition to apparatus and appliances for experiment and\ninstruction.\n\nRefurnishing of present buildings from top to bottom.\n\nSanitary drainage and plumbing.\n\nA neat and pleasant chapel. A library and reading-room, with funds\nto purchase new books.\n\nAn extension to complete girl's hall, on the present plan, affording\nneeded rooms for girls and teachers.\n\nMusic rooms removed from study and recitation rooms.\n\nA building, with power, for metal working, tinsmithing, etc.\n\nA plant for typesetting and printing.\n\nAdditional teachers should be employed, and the courses of study\nextended, so that men fully equipped for the demands of the new\ncentury can be furnished here.\n\nTillotson thus sends forth her plea to Christian men and women all\nover our land to be used as the means of untold blessing to needy\nthousands. Her usefulness has been great. It can be indefinitely\nincreased with comparatively small outlay. Here are grand\nopportunities for investment in \"futures\" that will yield large\nreturns. Just after the death of the late Dr. Joseph Hardy Neesima,\nof Japan, who had been so generously aided by Hon. Alpheus Hardy, of\nBoston, who had also died not long before, a Christian friend\nwrote:--\"I wonder what Mr. Hardy thinks now of his investment in\nJoseph Hardy Neesima.\" They both can now realize so much more fully\nthe meaning of the Master's words: \"Inasmuch as ye have done it unto\none of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto ME.\"\n\n[Illustration: GROUP OF STUDENTS ON STEPS OF ALLEN HALL, TILLOTSON\nCOLLEGE.]\n\n       *       *       *       *       *\n\nAVERY NORMAL INSTITUTE, CHARLESTON, S. C.\n\nM. A. HOLMES, PRINCIPAL.\n\n\nMore than ordinary interest attaches to this institution for the\neducation of colored youth and the training of colored teachers,\nlocated as it is in the very cradle of secession, and near the spot\nfrom which was fired the first gun in the long war waged for their\nperpetual enslavement; and in a city situated in the heart of the\ncotton and rice-fields of the Southland.\n\n[Illustration: AVERY NORMAL INSTITUTE, CHARLESTON, S. C.]\n\nScarcely had the smoke of the long conflict cleared away or civil\nauthority been fully restored in this long-besieged city, when\nGeneral Saxton, then Assistant Commissioner of the Freedmen's\nBureau, opened a school in the Memminger building on St. Philip\nStreet, built for and since used for the education of white\nchildren. Here, on the first day of October, 1865, were gathered a\nthousand children eager for the education so long denied to their\nrace. So great was the pressure to gain admission to this school\nthat one hundred children were seated in the great dome that\nsurmounts the edifice.\n\nThe studies during the first year embraced the entire range of\nelementary branches, from the primer to the Latin grammar. About\nthree-fourths of those who attended this first school were children\nof freedmen; the others, making up the advanced classes, were born\nfree and constituted an aristocracy of color, a distinction which,\nafter a lapse of more than a third of a century, still exists.\n\nThe closing examinations of this first year were attended by a large\naudience of both white and colored. There were present ladies and\ngentlemen, missionaries and teachers, civil and military\ndignitaries, and the leading representatives of both races. It was a\nnovel and moving sight, one that the wildest imagination could not\nhave foreseen or deemed possible five years before.\n\n[Illustration: PROF. M. A. HOLMES, PRINCIPAL.]\n\nIn its second year the school, then known as the Saxton School, held\nits sessions in the Military Hall on Wentworth Street, where with a\nslightly reduced enrollment, it remained until removed to its\npresent quarters, May 1, 1865. The large and handsome building which\nit now occupies was erected by the American Missionary Association\nthrough the Freedmen's Bureau. Rev. Charles Avery, of Pittsburg,\nPa., had given a large sum for the education of the colored people,\nand ten thousand dollars of his bequest were appropriated to the\ninstitution, and in honor of this noble philanthropist the name was\nchanged to Avery Normal Institute. Here the enrollment was\nnecessarily reduced and the normal character of its work made more\nprominent, a feature that had been contemplated from the beginning.\n\nIn any survey of the work of Avery, three principals should receive\nspecial recognition for their thorough, enduring and Christian labor\nin this needy field. They are the Rev. F. S. Cardozo, by whom the\nschool was first organized in the Memminger building, Prof. M. A.\nWarren, who succeeded him and graduated the first class in 1872, and\nProf. Amos W. Farnham, now of the Oswego Normal School. Each of\nthese men was distinguished for unusual teaching skill, for great\nadministrative ability, and for complete consecration to the work to\nwhich he was specially called. These worthy educators are still\nremembered here with affection and gratitude, but the full fruition\nof their labors will be known only in the great day when the books\nshall be opened.\n\nFor over thirty years about four hundred colored students have\nannually gathered here for the training which was to fit them for\nlife's work. For many years all grades, from the primary to the high\nschool and normal course, were maintained, but in later years the\nprimary and intermediate pupils have been excluded, their\ninstruction being amply provided for in the public and numerous\nprivate schools of the city, thus leaving the Institute free to\ndevote itself to higher grades and normal work, in which Avery has\nbeen from the first conspicuous and eminently successful. Its\ngraduates now number nearly four hundred and are found in almost\nevery department of human activity. Some are distinguished in\nprofessional life, others in trade, or in business. Among them are\ndoctors, skilled and eminent in their chosen fields of labor,\nclergymen of acknowledged ability, and teachers of long and\nsuccessful experience. About two-thirds of all its graduates choose\nteaching as their special vocation; and nearly all prove their skill\nand ability in the schoolroom, and have reflected great credit on\ntheir alma mater and have been a blessing to their race. There has\nbeen for the last ten years a steady and growing demand for colored\nteachers of ability and with special training for their work; and\nthere is not a county in the state to which our graduates do not go\nas teachers, and in the lower counties and along this malarial coast\nnearly all the schools for colored children are taught by Avery\ngraduates. In many places conditions are such that no one can\nundertake this work without jeopardizing health or risking life\nitself. But there are not wanting those whom zeal and devotion lead\ninto these dangerous fields. Names might be given of those who have\neven given up life itself at work in these malarial districts,\nproving their zeal and the missionary spirit which actuated them.\n\nAvery has cost large sums of money; to maintain such an institution\nby charity through a third of a century is no small undertaking,\nrequiring faith and consecration. But it has repaid more than a\nhundred-fold all that has ever been expended. Here in this historic\ncity, surrounded by lowlands of rice and cotton, the negro was found\nin overwhelming numbers, and after emancipation, in utter ignorance\nof book lore or a pure gospel. To this people the American\nMissionary Association, through the Avery Institute and its\nconsecrated workers, has brought the light of knowledge and a pure\ngospel, and awakened aspiration and hope of a better life. The\nbeneficial effects of this work upon such a people, and indirectly\nupon the city and state, are incalculable. Intelligent Christianity\nand Christian education has ever been the motto of Avery, and\nfaithfully has it been realized in the lives of its graduates, and\nexemplified by them in all the relations that affect good\ncitizenship and true manhood. Race conflicts in this city have been\nunknown since the days of reconstruction, and it is not too much to\nclaim that this better condition of things here is largely due to\nthe influence exerted by Avery.\n\n[Illustration: NORMAL CLASS OF 1900, IN CHAPEL.]\n\nAlthough it is in the strictest sense a school, in which all studies\nin every department are prosecuted under a high pressure, which\nknows no relaxation, yet religious teaching has ever been a\nprominent feature, and the Bible is considered the best text book in\nthe school. It has never been sectarian, but always Christian in its\nteaching and influence. No year passes without numerous conversions\namong its pupils, and every church in the city has been blessed in\nsome measure by accessions to its membership from the students of\nAvery.\n\nThe blessings which this school has brought to this people, and\nindirectly to a far wider constituency, are not wholly a free gift\nto them. A monthly tuition fee has always been required and\ncollected from all in attendance, except in special cases, in which\nits collection would impose great hardship or compel the withdrawal\nof worthy pupils from the school. But in spite of this monthly\ncharge and the sacrifices made to meet it and keep their children in\nschool, these people, out of their meagre earnings, which in so many\ncases make accumulations impossible, have kept their children in\nschool, and to the end of a twelve years' course, in numbers that\nwould shame many a more prosperous community in more favored\nsections of our land, where schools and books are entirely free. In\n1895 twenty-four successfully completed its course and graduated\nwith honor; in 1896 twenty were added to the alumni roll; in 1897\ntwenty-eight; in 1898 thirty-one; in 1899 twenty-four; and at this\nwriting twenty-four are taking final examinations for graduation in\nJune. And from these large classes there is not one that is not an\nhonor to the community, scarcely one that has not found a position\nas a teacher or in some useful calling or industry, while a few are\ntaking higher courses in other institutions. Are not these facts\nsufficient answer to the charge so often made, that the colored\npeople are losing their interest in education, or that higher\neducation does not benefit them?\n\nOur work has been mainly academic; that is the purpose for which\nAvery was called into existence, to educate and train colored\nteachers, and to fit them for honorable positions in trade or\nbusiness.\n\nThe dignity of labor has always been faithfully inculcated, and\nopportunities for it have not been wanting. Nearly all the normal\nstudents and many in the lower classes go from school to some useful\noccupation, learning trades, or engaging in other remunerative\nemployment. Large numbers not only maintain themselves but are\nnecessary helpers to the bread-winners of their respective families.\n\nBut in keeping with the tendencies of the times and of the newer\neducation, and with the traditions and practice of the American\nMissionary Association, an industrial department has been added to\nAvery, and it has aroused no little enthusiasm among students and\npatrons. Needlework for the girls has been introduced, and under an\naccomplished and efficient instructor it has been from the first a\ngreat success. The girls from the lower grades as well as from the\nnormal classes are being systematically trained to do their own\nsewing, and will in time be taught to make their own garments. Our\npurpose is to add to this, cooking and other departments of domestic\nscience, as the resources of the Association will permit. Steps have\nbeen taken to establish a printing department.\n\nIn 1892 Avery Normal Institute was incorporated under the laws of\nthe state, though the control of the school has been kept in the\nsame hands as before, a majority of the trustees being in the\nexecutive committee or the administrative force of the American\nMissionary Association. The purpose of the incorporation was to\nsecure for its graduates the advantages which the laws of the state\nconfer upon graduates of all incorporated institutions.\n\n[Illustration: SEWING CLASS, SIXTH GRADE.]\n\nAn article of this nature would be incomplete without some reference\nto charges so frequently made, and in high places too, that\neducation, and especially the higher education, does the negro more\nharm than good, and that the educated classes furnish the larger\npart of the criminals. That there are educated criminals is not\ndoubted, but they are not confined to one race, nor do they come\nfrom the students of the American Missionary Association schools. Of\nthe nearly four hundred living graduates of Avery, not one is a\ncriminal nor has one ever been accused of crime, and the writer has\nyet to learn of more than two who have proved unworthy of the\ntraining they have received, or dishonored their alma mater by\nimmoral lives. These fell under a stress of circumstances that would\nhave ruined almost any young person. On the contrary, the graduates\nof this and other schools under the auspices of the Association are\nconspicuous for worthy and upright character, for thrift, for\nindustry and good citizenship.\n\nAnd this is true not only of those who complete our course and\nreceive their diplomas, but of hundreds of others who do not go\nbeyond the grammar grades. Such invariably make better citizens. It\nis a rare thing to learn that one of the students from any class of\nour school has become a criminal. The criminal classes are not\nrecruited from the pupils in missionary schools.\n\n\nOUR NEEDS.\n\nWe need large contributions of money or materials that will enable\nus to enlarge and develop our industrial department. A promising\nbeginning has been made, but it is only a beginning, and we desire\nto extend it in many lines, giving the widest possible scope to\nindividual talent or proclivities, without lowering in any degree\nthe present standard of scholastic attainment.\n\nWe need contributions of money and books to enlarge our library and\ngive to our students advantages which they cannot now find in the\ncity. A good library is absolutely indispensable in all educational\nwork. We have a few hundred well worn volumes, the merest apology\nfor a library, but it is the only one in the city to which colored\npeople have access.\n\nWe appeal to individuals, to Sunday-schools, to Christian Endeavor\nsocieties and to churches for the establishment of scholarships for\nworthy and capable pupils. We have many such, on whom the burdens\npress so heavily that continuance in school to the end of the course\nis an impossibility. We wish to help such after they have reached\nthe normal department. A small sum expended in keeping these worthy\nstudents in the school may bring rich rewards when the harvests of\nlife are all finally gathered.\n\n       *       *       *       *       *\n\nSOUTHERN FIELD NOTES.\n\nGEORGE W. MOORE, FIELD MISSIONARY.\n\n\nEarly in the school year the teachers of Trinity School, Athens,\nAlabama, made their annual visitation to the country people. They\ncarried with them the good cheer of the holiday season in the\ndistribution of odds and ends from barrels from Northern friends.\nGifts were distributed to a hundred persons, old and young. One old\nlady, fearing that she had been overlooked, exclaimed: \"Wat you\ngwine to gib me?\" and she was made happy by the gift of a bandanna\nhandkerchief. Trinity School fills a large place in that community,\nas it is the only school for colored pupils in a radius of several\nmiles of Athens.\n\nA revival followed the week of prayer service at Talladega College.\nThe school is full, and all are happy in the work.\n\nSecretary Beard's trip through the Southern field was a delight to\nthe workers and students. His sermons and addresses and wise counsel\nwere helpful to all. Porto Rico was made very real by his graphic\ndescriptions of the country and people.\n\nOur church at Shelby Iron Works, Ala., is flourishing under the\nlabors of Rev. E. E. Scott. Mr. Scott, with his rich tenor voice,\nleads the people in the singing of the old spirituals, and the choir\nin anthems and song.\n\nRev. T. J. Bell and his people are doing good service at Selma.\n\nMiss M. L. Phillips and her associates are happy in their work at\nMarion, Ala. A deep religious interest was awakened both at Marion,\nAla., and at our Lincoln School at Meridian, Miss. Rev. M. Jones, a\ngraduate of Tougaloo University, is pastor at Meridian, and Rev. C.\nL. Harris, the former minister, is now at Mobile.\n\nThe Emerson Institute at Mobile is doing excellent work, under the\ndirection of Dr. Burnell and his teachers.\n\nThe meeting of the Louisiana Association was held with the Central\nChurch, New Orleans. The attendance was good, and the reports of the\nchurches, addresses and papers were full of interest.\n\nThe Woman's Missionary Union, Christian Endeavor and Sunday-school\nAssociation also held interesting meetings.\n\nThe Straight University has a large attendance; the school is making\ngood progress in its various departments of literary and industrial\nwork.\n\nAfter the meeting of the Louisiana Association, I visited the work\nat Thibodeaux, Schriever, Chacahoula, Abbeville, Lake Charles and\nNew Iberia. At several places a deep religious interest was\nawakened, and a large number avowed their faith in the Saviour.\n\nA new church has been organized at Lake Charles, La., with thirty\nmembers. It gives promise of growth and fruitful service. Rev. S. J.\nWood, a graduate of Straight University, is pastor. The people\nbought a lot, and the Church-Building Society aided them in buying a\nmeeting-house which has been removed to their lot.\n\nThree miles from Fort Davis Station, on the Georgia and Alabama\nRailroad, and forty miles from Montgomery, is our Cotton Valley\nSchool, which is located in the heart of the Black Belt of Alabama.\nThis country school is the one bright spot in the lives of the\nlarge population of poor black people of Cotton Valley. It is in\ncharge of four young women, graduates of Fisk University--Miss\nCarrie Alexander, Principal, and Misses Pearl Binford, Lelia Haynie\nand Lizzie B. Moore. Besides the school work, the teachers visit the\npeople in their cabin homes, hold mothers' meetings, Sunday-school,\nChristian Endeavor and Junior Endeavor meetings, sewing classes, a\nliterary society and singing-school. It is a veritable social\nsettlement. The people look to these young women for advice,\nmedicine and help in all kinds of ways. They have won the love and\nconfidence of the people, and gladly help them in all ways. The\nschool is under the management of the American Missionary\nAssociation, and is supported by the Woman's Missionary Union of\nMassachusetts. The school is located in a most needy field for\nmission work. A teachers' home is greatly needed. The teachers\noccupy the log cabin home built by the first missionary teacher,\nMrs. Lillian V. Courtney, _nee_ Davis. This cabin home has done good\nservice; but a larger home is needed for the teachers, with\nfacilities for industrial training for girls.\n\n       *       *       *       *       *\n\nBITS OF EXPERIENCE IN THE INDIAN COUNTRY.\n\nMISS M. P. LORD.\n\n\nLittle-Dog was very sick, they said. We thought of the beautiful\ntwo-year-old boy whom he had loved with all a father's tenderness,\nand of the day when he had come and told us of the child's death;\nand how his eyes were still inflamed with weeping; and how grateful\nhe was for the little food, and for the words of comfort we had\ntried to give him.\n\nHis home was ten or fifteen miles up the winding river, with two\nfording-places between. We found at the first a broad, swift stream,\nswollen by a recent rain. We were glad we had made preparations\nbefore starting in, for the water flowed six inches deep over the\nbuggy floor. At the village beyond, Cross-Bear advised us to return\nby another road, as the river was still rising. Long-Feather, with\nwhose family we also stopped to shake hands, gave the same advice,\nsaying that he would see us safely over the next crossing, but that\nhe was just starting on a long drive in the opposite direction.\nGood-Boy, who lived near the fording-place, would help, he said. So,\nfollowing directions, Good-Boy was found. His pony was quickly\nsaddled, and galloping on ahead he piloted us not only to the\nriver-crossing, but all the way to Little Dog's, some miles beyond.\n\nMrs. Little-Dog and ten-year-old Martin greeted us at the door, and\ninside the house we were cordially welcomed by the blind and almost\nhelpless sufferer. The wife said, \"I wanted to go and get medicine\nfor him, but there was no one to take care of him while I was gone.\"\nThey were miles from the nearest neighbor. And the sick man added,\n\"I didn't like to have our little boy go so far alone.\" When the\nphysical pain and needs were relieved so far as possible, I asked if\nthere was a Bible. In answer the sick man turned and reached under\nthe pillow at the farther corner of the bed, from which he drew out\na little bag, and from that he carefully--almost tenderly, it\nseemed--took his Dakota Bible and handed me. Such times of drawing\nnear to God, in the homes of sick or sorrowing ones, mean quite as\nmuch of added strength and cheer to the white visitor as to those\nwho are visited, and we always come away feeling so glad that we\nwent. Tears were in the woman's eyes as the good-byes were said; and\nthe little boy, with his pony saddled, watched us out of sight, to\nbe sure that we were started on the right road home, as we had been\ndirected.\n\nOn another day we heard that our good old friend\nAfraid-of-the-Clouds had been thrown from his wagon and badly hurt.\nWe found the tall figure, which we had always been accustomed to see\nso erect and soldierly in bearing, stretched on the ground in his\ntent, silent and motionless. With evident pain and effort the dear\nold man tried to explain how it happened. He did not complain and\nspoke very gently, but the expression of suffering on the wrinkled\nface made me fear he would never get up again, and my own sorrow at\nthe thought was hard to conceal. He was only (?) an \"old Indian,\"\none of those \"old Indians\" who are often so lightly spoken of as of\nno account; but whose dignity and strength of character, and gentle,\ngracious courtesy, command the respect of those who really know\nthem. And he had been a loyal friend and faithful helper in the\nyears that we had been neighbors. And though he still clung to his\nold faith, he seemed as grateful for the reading of God's Word and\nprayer as for the material help we tried to give.\n\nTime passed, and by-and-by he was up and about again, and wanted to\nbe given some work to do. One day he came into the house and seated\nhimself in the deliberate way which told that he had something on\nhis mind, which would demand my undivided attention, and said: \"You\nare a white woman. I am a Dakota. But when I was sick your heart was\nsad. I hold it in my heart.\" That was all; that and the silent\nhand-grasp as he went out. But somehow I felt as if what the old man\nfelt in his heart was very secure there.\n\nOne bright Sabbath morning, with our deacon, One-Thunder, we visited\na neighboring church eight or ten miles up the river. The regular\nnative teacher was away, attending the great annual mission meeting;\nbut two other young men had been appointed to take charge of the\nservice together--Anselm Kill-the-Crow and Clinton High-Horse. The\nlatter took for his text, \"Ye are the salt of the earth.\" Retaining\nthe figurative form of the verse, the young preacher made clear its\nspiritual teaching, and by his direct and forceful application\nrevealed the thoughtfulness and earnestness of his own heart. The\nremarks of the other alluded to the name chosen for the little\nchurch. \"The Church of the Messiah;\" and he urged upon those present\nthat it be not in name only, but in deed and in truth, _His_ church.\nThe after-service greetings to the visitors were cordial, as\nusual--even the babies being encouraged to hold out tiny brown\nhands, with their mothers' injunctions to \"nape yuza\" (shake hands).\n\nHole-in-his-Tooth, who is always eager to take orders during the\nplum season, consented to postpone business transactions until the\nnext day. The Woman's Missionary Society had five dollars to hand\nover, to be forwarded to the \"Wotanin Waste;\" that is, far\nmissionary work. Everybody seemed wide awake and happy; and as we\ndrove away, the Y. M. C. A. were about to hold their services.\n\nNext to their interest in church affairs, is that in the school; for\nsince the Grand River (Government) Boarding School has demonstrated\nin their midst what faithful teachers can do for the children, the\nwhole community are ready to show their appreciation, from good old\nChief Grindstone to the wee little folk who carry flowers to their\nwhite friends in the school; and every little circle of influence\nwidens.\n\nThe blizzard was fiercely raging outside, lashing the little house\nin its fury. I had given up trying to warm more than one room, and\nthat was darkened by the snow piled against the windows, and the\npanes above were so thick with frost that nothing could be seen.\n\nThe storm was so severe--so bitterly cold, with blinding snow and\nwind--that I thought no one could possibly get out with safety to\ncome that day; when, to my surprise, there was a knock at the door,\nand there was Maza--faithful Maza--smiling as usual, through the\nfrost and snow.\n\nGlad, as well as surprised, I was to see him. \"They told me not to\ncome,\" he said. \"They said I would get lost or freeze to death;\nbut,\" he added, \"I told them I was coming.\" So the big drift was\ntunneled to the stable door, horses fed and watered, and all needed\nhelp given.\n\nBy these little homely incidents I have only tried to introduce a\nfew of the many friends on the Reservation, of whom it is sometimes\nasked, \"Can Indians ever be really civilized?\" \"Do you see any real\nresults?\" \"Do you find them very treacherous?\"\n\n       *       *       *       *       *\n\nDepartment of Christian Endeavor.\n\n       *       *       *       *       *\n\nCHRISTIAN ENDEAVORERS OF A HIGHLAND SCHOOL AND VILLAGE.\n\n\n[Illustration: CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH, WILLIAMSBURG, KY.]\n\nMiss Ella M. Andrews, one of the teachers at Williamsburg Academy,\nwhich is one of the interesting schools among our American\nHighlanders, has been an efficient leader in the Christian Endeavor\nmovement in that school and village. She writes under recent date of\nthe Senior Endeavor Society, as follows:\n\n\"The Y. P. S. C. E. of Main Street Congregational Church of\nWilliamsburg, Ky., was organized in 1887 with about a dozen charter\nmembers. From this beginning has grown our present flourishing\nsociety of about fifty members, many of whom are our students. The\ngood it has done these young people cannot be estimated. Many of the\nstudents organize C. E. societies in their home towns and in the\nplaces where they teach. The Tri-State Union was organized in 1893.\nThe organization was made for the purpose of promoting the C. E.\nwork in the adjacent counties of Kentucky, Virginia and Tennessee.\nBy bringing together the members of the societies in this section,\nmuch has been accomplished in the way of strengthening the weak\nsocieties and in the way of organizing and sustaining societies in\nplaces where none existed. All societies in the Union have been\nstimulated by its annual conventions.\"\n\nThe Junior Endeavorers in this field are under the especial care of\nMiss M. A. Packard, also a teacher in this academy. Under her wise\nsupervision the Juniors have done much interesting and valuable\nwork. She writes as follows:\n\n\"The Junior Endeavor Society, a company of 76 bright, happy boys and\ngirls, representing two departments (the active members and the\ntrial members), is under the direction of the superintendent and two\nassistants. The meetings are held every Sunday afternoon, led by one\nof the members. We use the 'Junior Endeavor Songs,' and the Juniors'\nvoices are tuned to sing praise to Him who took little children in\nHis arms and blessed them. It is an inspiration to attend the\nmeetings, to hear the recital of the Pledge, the reading of the\nScripture verses and the precious season of prayer, when, with bowed\nhead, sentence prayers are offered, often two and three at a time.\nDuring the past year the growth of the society has been marked, in\nthe Juniors learning to pray--God seems so near. Many precious\npetitions have been made for self and others.\n\n[Illustration: A MOUNTAIN HOME.]\n\n\"The Juniors are enthusiastic in bringing in their pennies, many\nearning them. They purchase all their literature. Last April they\nwere very happy to donate to the church the sum of $12.34, the\nresult of an entertainment given by them ('The Junior Endeavor\nGarden').\n\n\"This year we have taken up the prison work; sending the pennies to\npurchase Testaments, and writing letters to the prisoners. Services\nare held at the jail, and at the homes of the aged and sick, the\nJuniors taking an active part.\n\n\"Thanksgiving Day, nineteen homes were gladdened by baskets of\neatables, carried by the Juniors, and other gifts. At Christmas many\nhearts are made happy by their kind remembrances. During the last\nthree years twelve have graduated. All are active members in senior\nsocieties. The trial department is under the direction of the\nassistants, who are graduates. The society is most promising. The\nJuniors are preparing not only to take places in the senior society,\nbut in the church and as citizens.\"\n\n       *       *       *       *       *\n\nObituaries.\n\n       *       *       *       *       *\n\nMRS. MARY T. CHASE.\n\n\nMrs. Mary Tuttle Chase, wife of Prof. T. N. Chase, of Atlanta\nUniversity, Atlanta, Georgia, died in the home of her daughter, Mrs.\nDr. Kirkland, Bellows Falls, Vermont, Friday, March 23d. Funeral\nservices were held in the church in which she worshiped in her\nchildhood in Acton, Mass. The president of the University, together\nwith the pastors of this church conducted the service. Some\ngraduates of Atlanta University sang some of the pathetic old negro\nhymns. Mrs. Chase came of heroic New England stock. She was\ngraduated at Abbott Academy, Andover, Mass., and at once entered\nupon the work of teaching. She was married to Prof. Chase in 1862.\nTwo years later they went to Washington, D. C. In 1869, with her\nhusband, she went to Atlanta, Georgia, and entered upon the great\nwork of her life in Atlanta University.\n\nMrs. Chase was a ready and able writer, and frequently contributed\narticles to the AMERICAN MISSIONARY magazine. Her heart was quick in\nits sympathies for those who were depressed and needy, and the\nheroic courage of her ancestors ran in her veins. She was always\nready to defend the weak. She loved the work, and sought earnestly\nthe interests of the people to whom she gave the larger service of\nher life. Her loss will be sorely felt in the ranks of faithful\nChristian workers, of whom she was one. A large circle of friends\nsympathize with Prof. Chase and the family in this hour of their\nbereavement.\n\n       *       *       *       *       *\n\nMISS SUSIE T. CATHCART.\n\n\nWord has just come as we go to press that Miss Susie T. Cathcart\npassed away at King's Mountain, N. C., on Monday morning, April 9th.\nMiss Cathcart has been a teacher at Lincoln Academy, of which her\nsister is principal, for several years. At the beginning of this\nyear her health was so delicate that she did not feel that she could\naccept reappointment. She still hoped to be strong again, however,\nand looked forward to future service among the people whom she so\nsincerely loved. Her work has been always distinguished by ability\nand great personal sacrifice, and almost an abandon of devotion to\nthose to whom she ministered. Even in her sickness she did not for a\nmoment forget them. Her sister, Miss Lillian Cathcart, Principal of\nLincoln Academy, writes of her as follows: \"In her sickness she has\nbeen very patient, never other than cheerful, and always trying to\nspare others any unnecessary work. She has been able to take an\ninterest in what was going on almost all the time, and to send out\nmessages and to pray for the scholars.\" And so another earnest and\ndevoted life has gone out from earth, but its influence will\ncontinue and cannot be measured by the passing years.\n\n       *       *       *       *       *\n\nA SUGGESTIVE SUBSCRIPTION.\n\n\nTHE AMERICAN MISSIONARY received a subscription the other day which\nillustrates several things. The subscription read as follows: \"Mr.\nFrederick Raeder, Jurjev--Dorpat--Livonia, Russia.\" This illustrates\nthe wide circulation of a journal especially devoted to home\nmissions. Not a numerous foreign subscription list does it enjoy,\nbut at least one copy reaches this remote region. Another thing\nillustrated is the close connection between the home and foreign\nfields of missions. A few years ago the Indians and Alaskans were\ncounted in the foreign missionary field. Now the American Missionary\nAssociation conducts work in these fields. Porto Rico has just come\ninto the responsibility of our home work. And so in the progress of\nthese great missionary movements the emphasis is increasingly upon\n_missions_, and not upon any artificial distinctions. It is the\ncoming of the Kingdom of God which the providences make important.\n\n       *       *       *       *       *\n\nIf any reader of the AMERICAN MISSIONARY has a copy of the Annual\nReport of the American Missionary Association for 1849, he will\nconfer a favor by dropping a note to the editor of this magazine.\nThis volume is desired for one of our theological libraries.\n\n       *       *       *       *       *\n\nRECEIPTS FOR JANUARY, 1900.\n\n       *       *       *       *       *\n\nTHE DANIEL HAND EDUCATIONAL FUND\n\nFor Colored People.\n\n  Income for January                                   $10,013.75\n  Previously acknowledged                               14,431.66\n                                                      -----------\n                                                       $24,445.41\n                                                      ===========\n\nNOTE.--Where no name follows that of the town, the contribution is\nfrom the church and society of that place.
