Bamberg COlOred Graded School.

Seeing the great need OF better
school for the colored youth of Bamberg,
and knowing that nothing great can be
achieved without strenuous effort on the
part of those in need, we the under
signed trustees and principal OF the
Bambcrg graded school, in cooperation
with our much beloved pastor, Rev. W.
G. Valentine, have made an attempt to
better the condition of our people NOR
ally, religiously, and educatiopally. TO
do this We elected Prof. &: W. Moore
principal of our school, and authorized
him to travel, lecture, and solicit aid
from any source to help build and equip
q school shousc which would meet the
demands of the hour The following is
the result of his labor during last Sep
tember and October, 1900. We arc sorry
that we cannot publish every name, but
We hope that all donors will recognize
that we feel very grateful to them Tor
all their precious gifts, that they have
our PRAYERS and benevolent wishes, and
we hope that God will bless their fields,
homes, stores, and other enterprises.

We extend through this issue our
heartfelt thanks to all our people for
their very liberal donations and we
trust that they have realized ere this
time that no great schools can be estab-
lished without their aid and the libcrallty
of our white friends We also feel very
grateful towards the following white

Iibcrality toward this laudable cause:

There are many others whom we would
like to mention, but space will not allow.
We will only say that we hope our white
friends at Bamberg will show as much
appreciation to our appeals as these
stran gers. Our lumber for the building
is now on the grounds, and we are
about ready to begin the work. Let our
white friends help US when we call 1or
we can do very little without their en-
couragement. Our school IS much better
this year than last, and we hope to make
it stand high like the sun sending forth
it's rays to every nook and shade of this
our happy country. ann
Our school began October 22nd, 1900,
with Prof. G. W. Moore, of Clatin Uni
yersitv, principal; Miss Alice NJ. Fred
erick, of Clatlin University, assistant.
Our school has been Increasing in num-
bers ever since its beginning, and to-day
it numbers 2O6 students. On account OF
this large number we have secured the
assistance of Mr.. Alonzo RentZ, of the
State Colored College, Orangeburg, 5. Z.
Our patrons have purchased about $6'.W
worth of new books adopted by the state
for use in the public schools This Will
show the interest our people have IN
nroyidins means for the development OF
their children. At present our school
is divided into seven distinct grades, all
Of which arc max ing conscientious strides
upward, Our doors are open to any
student of the public schools who would
like to further prosecute his studies at a
small tuition fee Come, young men anu
women, and reap the benefit Of ourtrain
ing and experience.
