REPORT OF TIE BOARD OF TRUSTEES IN CHARLES
TON.
Gen9eYnen-We cannot close this second
session without recording our grateful sense
OF Gods great mercy towards our efforts TOT
the relief of our fellow citizens. ia the time OF
their great need. Within the expiration OF two
years we are enabled to point to hourlsh'
ing school esta ablished, aud home into which
ninety-four boys have been received, brought
from the country where they had no opportu-
mites to pursue their education, and have been
placed under the influences OF refined and
Christian home, with the advantages OF first
rate education. While come are In tue veiy
rudlments OF letters, our highest class closed 10
the third book OF Boud9n's l. 'gendre; .as1 haa
and Vuell IN Latin, and mcChntock and
AapabasH in Greek. while four boys have eone
to college, TWO to the Charleston and two to
Trinity, Hartford. and several: have procured
situations a,clerks.
By referring to the able and elaborate report
of tie rector Of the School and Home. IL will
be seen that to the Pioneer Southern Educo-
tional Aid Society, originated by Mr.. W. W.
Glenn, of Baltimore. Maryland ard by his ex.
ertions kept alive and sustained, we owe 1t
that our dshelencies. month by mouth. have
been met. 1t has been on his part, aud on
the part OF ali who have subs bscrlbed towards
this work. an instancs OF the most d'sinterest,
ed symp THY and oenevolence; and to him and
to all who have subscribed, we beg to return
our heartfelt and grateful thanks, knowing
that the only rewprd they eau have IN this
world ls In the lives and characters OF those
who they have helped to make useful nem.
bers of society, who without their AID would
have been deprived OF the great dement's wnlcn
have been conferred. We trust that God, who
is not unmiudtul that He should forget works
which proceed Of love, may return upon oil an
abundant blessing.
We feel it due to the matrop o. the Home
to bear testimony to the extraordin Try ability
which she has displayed, ,and our appreciation OF
her eminent fitness for the arduous duties which
she h,s 80 ably discharged. TO the principal
and his ss ,istants, male and female, We tender
cur acknowledgements OF sincere appreciation
ct the conscientious and able manner they
have carried out the details of this institute oa,
and to the physician to whose skill and atten-
ton ve ara greatly indebted. Having very
large number OF Applications, we snou!a .an", a,so
state that we hope TO commence our next term
on the first OF October, with enlarged accommo.
dations and Increased facilities. That in view OF
the improved condition Of things, and not vii
ling to tax the generosity OF friends abroad
beSond endurance, We propose to raise slight-
y the cost OF board aud tuitIon, but we know
here are many who can 90 no better
than last year, the price or production OF cot
ton. rice or phosphates making no difference
in their incomes; and We trust that we can
look for aid from the Pioneer Educational Aid
Society for the coming term. according to the
statements that we frat made them that we
would need aid for three years. Too much has
been done to let 1t be lost, and one more year
OF aid will put us upon selfsupporting basis.
To commence as an entire charity. and to sccom,.
plish this IN three years, We think will meet
with the approval Of our supporters. We feel
it our duty tc state that though this School
and Home has been and is under the influence
Of the Episcopal Church, we have never re-
fused deserving applicant because they have
not been Of that church, and we have both iu
the Home and in, the School many children
connected with the different denominations.
Respectfully submitted,
