confide their perpIexities, the minister
presents his difficulties. the civic officer
seeks conference.-the entire village
looks to the Spelman teacher and finds
in her counselor and friend.
Among the daughters of Spelman
who have entered upon a life Of self
forgetting labor is Mrs. 8. G. J. Bryant
Of this city. She completed the high
school course in 1901. Later she took
the degree Of bachelor Of theology at
Morehouse college. Her husband, DR..
p. J. Bryant, Is pastor Of Wheat Street
Baptist church, the membership of
which is something over 5000. Mrs.
Bryant Is woman Of many and va
ried interests, being state president of
the Woman's Missionary and Educa-
tional society and vice president Of the
national Baptist convention.
Besides being leader in church mat
tiers, she is also q vitality active men,
Der Of numerous committees for the
betterment Of the home, the school and
the community. Despite the manifold
demands upon her time and strength,
she has added to her cares by starting
q preparatory and Industrial school.
Her inspiration came from seeing mem
beers Of the Wheat Street church, keen
~ anxious to be about the Kings bust
ness, burning with zeal, but unable to
plan, to execute, to bring to fruition,
because Of the lack Of proper training.
Looking into their eager faces, she
read her masters message.
On Sept. 4, 1909, the Bryant school
was opened In Eve small rooms over a
grocery store. The enrolment that
year was 175, with four teachers. The
brave spirit Of this woman, her clear
vision and wise management, gained
for the school friends who made it pos
sible to close the year free Of debt.
Now there are eight teachers and 275
pupils. Thirty-eight Of these are in the
kindergarten department.
A recent visit to this school at night
was Of unique interest. The rooms
over the grocery store, in which the
school is still held, are in size II by Is.
Two classes were being conducted in
each. There are no desks in these
rooms, and the blackboards are very
poor. From 7:3O until 10 o'clock these
grown people who have worked hard
oil day pore over their books with an
eagerness which is pathetic. Some of
them walk six and seven miles to get
here. One woman, who conducts a
school Of her own Of sixty pupils dur
ing the day, attends here at night and
seizes with avidity every possible scrap
Of knowledge so as to have q bit of
new mental food for her children on
the morrow.
One man, long grown, Is now able to
manage his business owing to three
years. drill with Mrs. Bryant and her
helpers. Among other things which
impresses one is the marvellous pa
tience Of the teachers, for to instruct
men and women of the age Of sixty
five and over in the rudiments is not
calculated to soothe the nerves. The
hours which most of these teachers
devote to their profession are from
$50 q. m. to 10 p. m. and all this for
the princely salary Of SIS month or
less!

The formation of purposes in life is
a serious thing. We ought to form
purposes now that will satisfy us
throughout all eternity. Purposes
that reach no farther than the little

that extend beyond the fleeting period
