surely. The work done has been thorough and of a high grade. Up to the
present time there have been in all 252 pupils connected with the
school. There have been five teachers aside from the music, sewing and
manual training teachers, principal and matron.
The students are instructed in the common school branches. The work in
the normal grades is designed to prepare them for teaching. The girls
have classes in sewing, are taught to care for their rooms, and each
one does her own laundry work. A certain amount of time, whether in
the dining-room, halls, kitchen or laundry, is required. In this plan
there are two objects; to aid the pupils in paying their school
expenses and to teach them the arts of housekeeping. Each boy is
required to give especial care to his room. A certain amount of work
is also required of them. It consists of yard work, carrying mail,
sweeping school buildings, attending to the lamps, etc.
When there have been white boarding pupils they have had separate
rooms and a separate table in the common dining-room.
Bible lessons are given twice a week by the pastor. A school prayer
meeting is held every Thursday afternoon in the school chapel. In this
meeting the majority of the pupils take part, and much interest is
shown. The Christian Endeavor, however, is the most enthusiastic
meeting in which the students engage. It is held in the chapel of the
church, and attended by both town people and the school. The colored
students have shown themselves efficient committee workers and
leaders. There have been several conversions in the society, and there
is great reason to be encouraged. It is in this field that personal
work is needed and is effective. So the school is educating the pupil
in different lines, industrial, intellectual, and religious.
Last May the Governor of Florida signed a bill, now well known, framed
by Superintendent Sheats, of the State Educational Department, which
was aimed directly at the Orange Park school. What Mr Sheats' real
intentions are in regard to the colored race is but too plain. One can
but perceive, if his policy is followed, that their education in
Florida practically ceases. During the last session of the Florida
Legislature he requested it to enact a law prohibiting any others than
negroes from teaching schools for negroes, except in normal
instruction in institutes and summer schools. This did not become a
law, but it was not the superintendent's fault.
Last May in Lake County only nine candidates obtained certificates.
There were sixty-seven schools to be supplied with teachers. This
closed the schools. During last year one hundred and sixteen schools
in the State, mostly colored, for the want of teachers were not held
at all. A county official remarked that this examination law would
probably "result in retiring nearly or quite all the colored teachers
in a few years." Such a law "is a barbarous souvenir to make the
country remember its bloody dealings with its black brother." "Though
slavery is dead, its spirit yet lives; 'the serpent's head is crushed,
but his tail still writhes, and sometimes it lashes out spitefully.'"
We who are engaged in teaching in Orange Park are glad that the
American Missionary Association is to test, and is already testing,
the validity of this law. In contesting this law aimed at the Orange
Park school, the Association takes up a question which has arisen
before, but has never been settled. Theoretically, in the United
States all men, whether white or black, enjoy equal civil liberties;
practically, in the South, they do not. If the law is found to be
unconstitutional, that will go a long way in establishing equal
liberties for all.
Meanwhile the school continues as before. The school and the
Association need your assistance. The great work before the
Association requires both the money and the prayers of the Christian
people.

ADDRESS OF MRS. HARRIS,
GRADUATE OF FISK UNIVERSITY, NASHVILLE, TENN.
Miss Emerson has invited me to say a few words to this meeting in
behalf of the women of my own race. As I have sat here and listened to
the helpful and sympathetic words which have been spoken, I have felt
that I bore upon my heart the burden of gratitude of all the negro
women in the South, certainly of all the women and girls who have been
under the influence of such schools and such teachers as the American
Missionary Association has supplied. I do wish that I could show you
enough of the need and tell you enough about the results to encourage
you in the magnificent work you are doing for womanhood, wifehood and
motherhood among us. My own father, years ago, studied for a time in
Fisk University before it was really Fisk University; my mother's
people, her brothers and sisters, also studied in Fisk University, so
they were very anxious that their children should be in the same
institution. For that reason, as it meant a good deal out of the
family purse to board three or four children in such an institution as
that, eight or nine years ago the family moved from a little town in
the northern part of Kentucky to Nashville. We were reared in a quiet
Christian home and early placed in Fisk University.
I did not have an opportunity to come into personal contact with the
class of colored people who make up the great mass in the South until
after I had left school and gone to a little town in western Tennessee
to teach. There I was placed in charge of the young women in the
boarding department, and I sought to come most intimately in contact
with their lives. Many of these young women came straight from the
cotton plantations, and, although they could not sing and play as well
as we who had been at Fisk, many of them boasted that they could
handle a plow as well as a man. We undertook mission work in
connection with the circle of King's Daughters which I organized among
the girls, and the condition of the people as we found it in the two
years I was there among the poor negroes of the city was very painful
to me. Very often I came in from my visits in the poorer districts and
closed the door of my room, feeling that I must leave it all to the
Saviour, it seemed so discouraging and so much more than we could do.
We found, among other things, that we needed to teach the women the
most common and necessary habits of life, how to put the children to
bed, how to feed and clothe them. Yet I would say that it is through
the students of such schools as Fisk University that the Northern
teachers whom you send to us can hope to reach the masses of our
colored people. We get the life from our Northern teachers and then
the great mass of the colored people look to us for it, for we can get
into the home and into the life of the people as they cannot. And we
begin to feel the responsibility; we begin to realize how much the
race depends upon the mother and the sister and the wife. We begin to
realize that we as negro women must be especially alive to the
quickening influence of all that is noble and grand and true. We
realize that we are indeed
"Living in a grand and awful time,
In an age on ages telling,
To be living is sublime."

EXTRACT FROM ADDRESS OF MRS. WOODBURY.
Our eyes and our ears have been greeted during the last few days by
those initial letters, "A. M. A.," and we have perhaps got a new
meaning which was hinted at yesterday morning, "A Master Artist,"
because the American Missionary Association takes the black clay and
transforms it into the immortal soul. But I like best of all the
meaning given to the letters by a little boy who had just begun to
study Latin. With that air of ownership which we are so apt to see in
the boys and girls who have just begun the study of a new language, he
came to his mother and said, "Here it is: A. M. A.--_AMA._, Love thou
them." I like better than all the meaning given inadvertently by that
little boy, because it seems to me that the American Missionary
Association, working as it does among the poor and oppressed classes,
striving to weld into one common brotherhood the black, the white, the
red and the yellow, is the best exponent we have here in our own
country of the fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man, and of
that self-sacrificing love which brought Christ into the world to die
for the rich and the poor, the high and the low, the black and the
white alike. So it is entitled to write on all its literature and
emblazon on its shield those cabalistic letters, "A M A"--"Love thou
them."
I will not try to add to facts or multiply incidents. Here we have
before us this great problem: ten millions of our people, one-sixth of
our whole body politic, sunk in the depths of superstition, ignorance
and sin. We may shut our eyes to this problem; we may ignore it; we
may say it has been exaggerated; we may even say it does not exist.
You and I in our quiet homes may not hear the mutterings or the
moanings of these ten million souls in bondage; but their cry goes up
to Him who in mankind's first morning uttered those two burning
questions which have ever since determined the standard of the Christ
spirit in humanity: "Where art thou?" "Where is thy brother?"
We are to make of these ten million people God-fearing, intelligent
citizens. We are to leaven this mass of humanity with the leaven of
the school and of the church, and, so doing, make of these two million
whites, these stanch, stalwart Anglo-Saxon men, and of these eight
million loyal, affectionate, docile negroes, all American-born
citizens--we are to make of them a bulwark which shall resist the
oncoming tide of socialism, anarchism and of atheism, which is trying
to overwhelm our American institutions, rob us of our public-school
system, profane our Sabbath and snatch the scepter from our fathers'
God.
And how is this to be done? How is this problem to be solved? By just
such work as this of the American Missionary Association, which has
abundant facilities, plenty of energy, wisdom and experience, and even
the consecration necessary for the great work before it--everything
but the money. And where is the money coming from? The money is coming
from the churches. How do we know? Because the American Missionary
Association was born in the churches, is the child of the churches,
was sent forth from the churches with the benediction and prayers and
blessings of the churches to carry out the policy adopted by the
churches. The Church will not forsake its own.
And this is our work. It is not the abolition of races, but the
recognition of brotherhood. This is the work which Christ has given us
to do; and if we would solve this negro problem, and all the thousand
and one problems which are ever vexing the life of our free Republic,
we must solve them by the principles of the Golden Rule and the
democracy of the Lord's Prayer. It is not sufficient for us to stand
with Thomas and say in rapt admiration, "My Lord and my God." Side by
side with our black brother and with our white brother, with our
yellow brother and with our red brother, we are to kneel and say, not
"My Lord and my God," but "Our Father," and the spirit of common
prayer to a common Father whom we have not seen will bind our hearts
in closer brotherhood to those whom we have seen, and we will rise
from our knees to carry out the principles of the Golden Rule.
