merit of our schools and general control of the money raised by
the church for education, but it is also empowered to formulate
the courses of study and supervise the work of instruction as
actually carried on in the schools. The purpose is to co¬
ordinate and articulate the work in such a way as to make the
whole a unified, sympathetic system.
We now have only one institution of real college rank, viz.,
Livingstone College, Salisbury, N. C. We are well on the way
toward one or two more schools of such rank, and in the near
future to the development of Livingstone College into the field of
university work. We are already doing, also, considerable indus-

trial training, which, in the rounding out of our courses of study,
will be a regular and permanent feature.
The Chief Purpose
▲
“ Of course, the chief purpose of our work is to train preachers
for our pulpits. We have laid the foundation for a full-fledged
theological seminary in connection with Livingstone College,
and the courses of study in our other schools will soon include a
preparatory course of Biblical and theological instruction as
preparatory to distinct theological training in the theological
seminary at Livingstone College. Our idea, you will see, is
complete training, including the training of the head, hand, and
heart; and we believe especially in a Christian education.
Foundation for a Significant Work
“ We think we have the foundation for a significant and com¬
prehensive work in connection with the uplift of the Negro
people of the country. With our schools graded and co¬
ordinated, and all brought into harmony with the latest re-
quirements of the science of education, we shall hope to have a
system that will take rank with the best educational forces of the
world, especially as the enlightenment and Christianizing of
nearly a million people will soon be on our hands.”
Most of the first Negro schools were connected with a church,
and many of the early Negro teachers were also preachers. All
over the South Negro church buildings were used as the first
school-houses and many are so used to-dav.
