SCHOOL APPEALS FOR FUNDS.
Emmanuel Browns Great Work For
His People at Richmond, Ala.

Emmanuel Browns Great Work For
His People at Richmond, Ala.
In a recent letter to the New York
Times commencing the efforts Of EN-
manuel Brown, founder and principal
Of the Street School For Manual Train
ing. at Richmond, Ala, Amelia 8.
Quinton makes the following state
ment and appeal. She says:
When Austria declared war who
thought the bolt would hit Alabama
Yet the war has forced the colored peo-
pie there to sell their small cotton
crops for less than cost. And now
what shall they do? Learn a new ag-
riculture, move to the already over
crowded cities or starve at home?
At Richmond. Ala, in a large COM
munity of both white and colored peo-
pie, a colored young man had seen the
helplessness of his race in such emer
gencies; had recognized that only edu.
cation, the teaching Of truck farming
general agriculture and other indus
tries were the remedy indispensable" I"
He opened school with fifteen boys
and girls In a small room having one
door and one window. Soon hundred
eager pupils in larger room were
making good progress in the primary
branches, busy learning domestic in
dustries and in planting In January
crops that could be harvested In
March. to be followed by other crops
in succession that would command
sale and also feed the laborers.
Later his sister Joined the young man
for his consecrated life work for their
race and others also, with barest neces-
stiles provided, came to share the en-
terprise, till now 300 learners under
six teachers are in the school. Mean
time few friends in Boston and else
where gave aid. whose gifts and the
constant self sacrifices Of the leader
and his teachers achieved a comforta-
BILE school building, and this work, in
augurated ten years ago. is now. 1t Is
believed, assured.
But the people among and for whom
It is are poor. very poor, and, though
full Of courage and devotion under
new ambitions ana ideals. cannot pro-
vide the much more still needed for
the full equipment Of the work. The
school has two horses, but needs a pair
of mules, cows. a kit Of carpenter and
blacksmith tools, Toulouse and shop,
a wagon. liberal supply Of seeds and
many other helps.
The white citizens near testify to
the decrease Of crime. the greatly i'm
proved moral tone Of the vicinity and
the improvement Of the meager. in
sanitary homes Of the colored people.
They also recognize the benefit to the
white population In gaining for them
honest and intelligent laborers.
The appeal of this Street School For
Manual Training at Richmond, Ala,
under the leadership Of its originator,
Emmanuel Brown. should win help
enough to make 1t a great success In
its own county and to make it a shin
ing model for the thousand other
southern counties sorely needing just
such noble institution.

EPISCOPAL CHURCH PENSION FUND
SUPPLIES LIBERAL PROJECTIONS
Will Give 5000 Year TO All Cergymen Who Retire at
6O Years Of Age or Who Are Forced Out Of Active
Service By Illness OF Accident Widows and Depend
emf Children Also Provided For By Plan

The plan Of the church pension
und--a regularly incorporated body
created by the General Convention of
the p. e. Church and chartered under
the laws of the State of New York
for providing pensions for disabled
and superannuated clergy. and for
the widows and orphans of deceased
clergymen of the Protestant Episco-
pal Church. was approved by the con-
vention of the Diocese Of Delaware at
the session held this week lt was one
of the most important acts of that
convention. The plan provides the
most liberal and scientific pension
scheme ever adopted by a church i'm
this country. Briefly stated the plan
is approximately as follows:
First-It provides for the item of
accrued liabilities" by a fund of
be raised by voluntary contributions
before the plal for continuing liza
oilities becomes effective. These ac-
,rued liabilities represent the needs
of the fund for pensions already due
or soon 10 become due. and take care
IF the interests of those clergy who
are beyond the age when they can,
through their parishes, make sys-
ematic provision for meeting their
pensions when they shall become due.
Second-lt provides for continuing
liabilities by a fixed assessment upon
he various dioceses. who in turn ap-
portion the same upon the several
congregations composing them. These
assessments are based upon exact ac-
.uarial calculations. precisely as they
would be in an insurance company
when annuity policies are issued: eX-
cept that the amount of the pension
ioes not in each case depend upon
is exact relation to the premiums
paid into the fund.
Third-The old-age pensions are tc
De determined according to a sliding
scale. which will provide pensions ap.
proXimately One-half of the average
salary received by a clergyman dur.
ing his term of active service the
retiring age being fixed at sixty eight
years. The minimum pension. how.
ever. is to be fixed at $500 per annun
and the maximum pension at S2,00t
per annum. No pensions are TO be
paid unless the clergy are actually
retired.
Fifth The pensions for disability
at any age, and for the widows ant
orphans of deceased clergy. are pro
Nided for on an exceedingly liberia
basis.
Fifth-The payment of pensions i:
conditional upon participation in tn,
scheme of providing the necessar,
funds for the same. Any parish
therefore, which defaults on its pay
ments does TO that extent invalidat,
the claim to a penEion for the clergy

time of its detection, unless the dc
'ault is otherwise made up.
