RURAL EDUCATION SOUTH.
How Miss Emma J. Wilson Built UP
the MaysviIIe Is. C.) School.


Perhaps none among the younger in
dustrial schools in the south is doing
u greater work for the education of the
masses than the Maysville Is. CD In
dustrial institute. The school was
started about ten years ago in an old
abandoned cotton gin building, with
little financial aid and no equipment.
The district in which the institution is
located is thickly settled, and the cOun-
try public schools are few and situated
at a great distance apart. Therefore
the people We're glad to rally to the
support of this new enterprise among
them.
Miss Emma J. Wilson, principal OF
the school. worked almost single hand
ed as teacher, missionary and superin.
tendent for three years after the school
was organized. She made the black
boards out of old pine planks. painted
them and nailed them to the side Of
the classrooms. constructed benches
and desks for classroom use. After n
short while she bought ten acres OF
land on which to cultivate corn, peas,
cabbages, beans and potatoes.
The institution has at the present
time 143 acres Of farm land, $50 board
ing students, forty three orphan chill
dren under its care and total enroll
ment of 500 students. Miss Wilson Is
making brief tour of several north
ern cities in the financial interest of
the school. She delivered a most in
structive address at the Concord Bap
tist church in Brooklyn, where she
made many friends.
Among those who heard Miss Will
sons story were several South Caro-
linians who are living north. They
became so much interested in the
school that they are going to form n
South Carolina club through which to
raise funds for the Maysville school.
Miss Wilson will return to the school
in time for the annual commencement
the latter part OF May.
