Founded in 1884. Located
in one of the “ Black Belt
counties of Alabama, where the
Negro population, according to
the last census, was 29,000 and
the white population, 7,000.
This is one of the schools of the
United Presbyterian Church, sup¬
ported largely by the Freed men’s
Board. Rev.
С.
H. Johnson has
been principal since May, 1895.
In 1908, there was an enroll¬
ment of 14 teachers and 303 stu¬
dents. The annual requirements
for expenses are $4,000, supplied largely by the United Presby¬
terian Church, with additional help from students, from friends,
and from the results of the industries.
Daily Bible study is a feature of the school work, and the influ¬
ence of this work is carried into the homes of the students.
A hospital is connected with the school work and nurse training
is especially emphasized in the school curriculum. The supply
of nurses for the hospital and private work does not meet the
demand. Forty -five dollars pays the expenses of a student
for the entire year.
