At Tougaloo, the young men learn farming, carpentry, blacksmithing,
wheelwrighting, painting, turning and tinning; the young women, sewing, dressmaking, cooking and housekeeping. At Straight, the young men receive instruction in printing, carpentry, and floriculture; the young women, needlework, cooking and housekeeping. At Tillotson, carpentry is taught the young men; needlework, cooking and housekeeping, the young women. Our normal schools at Memphis, Tenn., Macon, Ga., and Williamsburg, Ky., have carpentry, printing, and other industrial training for the young men, and training in the various arts of home life for the young women. At Wilmington, Charleston, Savannah, Macon, Thomasville, Athens, Ala., Marion, Mobile, Pleasant Hill, Sherwood, and other normal, graded and common schools, the young women are trained in the things which they will most need in making comfortable and pleasant homes. Indeed, we make it our special care that the girls shall everywhere in our work be taught these things, so essential to the uplifting of a people. In many places where we have no schools, the pastor's wife, or our special lady missionary, is doing this same kind of work. THEOLOGICAL SCHOOLS. At Fisk, Talladega, Tougaloo and Straight, there have been during the year theological classes. The Theological Department of Howard |
