DR., JAS. E. SHEPARD AND THE
N. R. T. SCHOOL AT DURHAM
From the Charlotte Advertiser.

From the Charlotte Advertiser.
DR.. Shepard, as head of the Ma
tional Religious Training School, at
Durham, n. c., IS engaged in a
work that is attracting the attention
of the entire country. DR.. Shepard
IN his work. for the International
Sabbath School Committee, made a
profound impression on all Christian
We. tars while lecturing in the in
.terests of the Sunday School.
This service gave the public some
conception of the value of the man,
and at the same time gave the man
an opportunity to study at first hand
and over a wide area the needs of
our people - their excellences and
their deciencies.
Out of the fullness of an active
brain the n. R. T. School has sprung
iIIO DclIiS.
Instead of having himself endowed
to cover the country with lectures on
the Negro's deficiencies, DR.. Shepard
has had the wisdom to organize an
institution of learning for the pur-
pose of transforming these defcien-
cies into profciencies.
As to the personnel of the summer
school instruction force. the top
notcherS are here. The Negro is in
the midst of the highest civilization
on the globe, and DR.. Shepard is
aware of the fact that the race needs
instruction from men whose powers
nearest approach that of angels and
gods.
The school needs make no apology
for existence, nor have fear as to
continuance. Though infantile in age,
gigantic in aims.
