 That a school of this kind should have been established here, and marked with such encouraging sue cess, was to OUT visiting committee source of wonder. It was more than evident that they were agreed ply surprised and astonished at what they saw and heard.
 The order, cIeanness and splendid condition of the institute was among the first noticeable features made mention of. The manual train. ing department was especially in- teresting. Here the secret of suc- cess in the proper education of our colored race was clearly demonstrate ed. The youth of both sexes are taught how to meet the demands of life and take care of themselves, self-respecting and self supporting citizens. To this end the girls are taught the different branches of do nestle science, cooking, dressmak- ing, etc, the boys are taught the various trades.
