LanCaSter's COlOred School
Appeal by Principal Lee for
Better Facilities for Teach
ing the Hands as well as
Mind Of the Young Negro.

The Lancaster Normal and
Industrial Institute has cherished
the hope that an agricultural
plant for teaching scientific farm
ing and mechanical arts could be
more Prominently established.
We need one hundred acres of
land for gardening and farming.
Without farming facilities and
the necessary equipment we
can never be able in our school
to talk the beauty, pleasure and
profit of farming into the young
negro. Practical experience is
needed. The children must be
taught the industrial arts by actu-
al contact with tho work. No man
will love the thing that he is edu-
Gated away from. see the drift
In my own experience. Booker
Washington tells that he saw
from the start that to retain the
young negro in agricultural per.
suits would it be necessary to
educate his hands as we'll as his
head. He soon saw the effect on
the community, state, and the
whole sonth. Each student, girls
and boys, carry that love for
work to their homes, and now
young men all over the south
are establishing small industrial
schools in every state. Some
have gone to South Africa.
