American Church Institute.

The work that Is being done toward
the industrial education of the colored
race in dozen schools scattered
throughout the south by the American
Church Institute For Negroes was de-
scribed mt the recent meeting OF the SO
ciety by the Rev Robert w. Patton
before 400 women interested in social
betterment work
Dr. David III. Greer, Episcopal bishop
of New York and president of the in
stitute, presided at the meeting. which
was held in the assembly hall OF the
Colony club in New York, and intro
duced the speaker.
The Rev Mr. Patton in part said:
ut cost the nation $4,000 per capita
and million lives besides to emanci-
pate the slaves. But emancipation Is
not freedom. And after the bitterness
OF the reconstruction period in the
south, which should be called the re-
destruction period, a group OF men in
the north and south decided that this
was SO.
"The Church institute is freeing the
slaves at 500 each by giving the Ne
gro the freedom OF mind and body
which lie deserves" The reports OF the
past years work showed that much
good had been accomplished. The in
academic schools, five Industrial
schools. two hospitals and Il training
school for nurses.
