iss Lucy C. Laney, Principal
HON. WILLIAM H. TAFT, shortly before his inaugu¬
ration as President of the United States, visited Haines
School, and, speaking of Miss Laney, — who is con¬
sidered one of the most brilliant daughters of the colored race,
— said to the friends with him: “ That a colored woman could
have constructed this great institution of learning and brought
it to its present state of usefulness speaks volumes for her
capacity. Therefore, I shall go out of this meeting, despite
the distinguished presence here, carrying in my memory only
the figure of that woman who has been able to create all this.
The School was founded in 1886 by Miss Laney. The
enrollment in 1908 was 26 teachers and 694 students.
The property is valued at $43,000. The annual expenses are
$7,000, secured by fees, contributions, and appropriations from
the Presbyterian Board of Missions for Freedmen.
