report OF the supervisor of Iudus-
trial Work among the oolored

Supt. w. B. Coggin. and shows the
extent and success of the work for
the past year:
In the fall of 1910 I was employ
ed as supervisor of industrial work
for the colored schools. Of Charles
City county. AS this work was new
to the people. interest had to be
aroused and It was necessary to
call meetings from time to time in
different sections that the work We
wished to might be made plain. and
thus secure the cooperation of pa
rents and friends. which I am pleas
cd to say has been to some extent.
successful.
Leagues were organized and most
OF them have worked well.
In view Of the fact that several of
the school sites are 10 be moved IS
was not thought advisable to put on
improvements. In Tyler district
two schools are 70 combine and will
occupy the building that is being
erected by the colored citizens Of
this county. Because Of these facts
very few schoo Is made improve
ments.
