CATHCART HALL, LINCOLN ACADEMY, KING’S MOUNTAIN, N. C.
Founded in 1892, by Miss E. C. Prudden. Miss Lillian S. Cathcart is principal. Three
hundred and eight students and 12 teachers, in 1908. Three points have been made most
prominent, first, to win students to Christ; second, to recognize the fact that if the
colored people are to be educated it must be by those of their own race; third, to prepare
girls for home workers by systematic training in all lines of housework and sewing.
TRINITY SCHOOL, ATHENS, ALA.
Founded in 1866 by the American Missionary Association. First located in the little
brick church which had been used as barracks by the Federal Army, Athens being head¬
quarters for the troops guarding the railroads, by means of which Sherman’s Army was
being fed in Georgia. Miss Wells and two associate teachers were protected by the
soldiers. The property is valued at $16,000. The annual expenses, $3,400, are provided
by the American Missionary Association and by tuition. Miss Ida F. Hubbard is prin¬
cipal. Early in the work of Trinity, a Sunday-school was organized, out of which
has grown a flourishing church with its own Sunday-school and missionary societies.
The enrollment of Trinity School, in 1908, was 6 teachers and 198 students. While
this is one of the smaller schools of the American Missionary Association, it covers a
large field of influence in a needy “ Black Belt.’*
