BIG SUM FOR EDUCATION.

Beecher Memorial Association In
Brooklyn Aids TaIiadesa College.
The Beecher Memorial association
Of Plymouth church, Brooklyn, raised
$4,000 in November for the endow-
ment fund Of the Talladega (Ala.) col
lege. This faction was taken by the
association on account Of the great in.
terest which Henry Ward Beecher, ia
nous minister of Plymouth church, In
his lifetime manifested in the freedom
from slavery and the subsequent edu-
cation Of the colOred people. The cam
paign for funds lasted for ten days,
and there were many generous re-
sponses made by the public to the ap-
peal of the campaign workers. Pre-
vious to the beginning of the campaign
a public meeting was held at Plymouth
church. at which the work and needs
of Talladega college were explained.
The institution was founded forty.
eight years ago by the American Mis-
sionary association for the education
and training Of the youth Of our race.
The school farm comprises 750 acres
and among the various buildings are
hospital and nurses training school
a Carnegie library and an industrial
building for the boys and girls. The
enrolment is about $50. and there are
forty teachers.
Talladega has graduated several hun,
dred young men and women and has
sent forth thousands of others trained
for the practical duties of life. Its
students are force throughout the
state. Many have become teachers
and have helped to raise the standard
Of the rural schools.
One Of the graduates Of Talladega
studied at Columbia college several
years ago, where he did such excellent
graduate work that he had number
of tempting offers to head departments
in the larger schools of the race. He
refused them all and turned back to
Alabama. where. twenty miles from
any railroad station. he founded a
school that became model In its com
munity service. This graduate died
after having literally given his life to
his work.
Others have taken small rural public
schools and because of their educa-
tonal advantages and the spirit of
service that Tallageda gave them have
made their little one room school
houses models of industry and neat
ness Some graduates have gone into
the ministry and taken up parishes
north and south. One is the cashier
of bank I'm birmingham. Another Is q
farmer. holding real estate valued Al
k27.0o0. SIN another 4 woman. has
helped 30 people 20 purchase homes.

case the plans Of the coach are disar-
ranged he can always count on Fergu-
son to run any distance from one-half
mile to five miles. Critics say this
young man is one of the most con-
sistent runners In the western confer
ence. ....
Mr.. Ferguson is a self supporting
student. He has worked at one Of
the fraternity houses ever since he en-
tered this school and has been able to
realize a sufficient amount to defray
all expenses. He has been a great
helper to his fellow students. Many
have found work through his influence.
In 1914 there was organized In this
university the Ohio State jubilee Sing
ers. This organization was effected
after the persistent efforts of Mr.. Fer
guson to get a representative band of
colored singers for the university. At
present he Is the efficient head of these
singers, president Of the Alpha Phi
Alpha fraternity and member of the
Varsity Ohio association.
The elimination Of Mr.. Ferguson's
college career was reached on Oct. =,
1915, when he was elected class orator
over one Of the most active and prom
inent seniors on the campus. This Is
the first time in the history of the
Ohio State university that this dis
tinction has gone to >colored student
The public awaits in great anxiety
the unfolding of this young mans ca
reer. He has the proper attitude to-
ward his fellow man and the moral
courage to stand for his earnest con-
victions. Mr.. Ferguson's home Is at
Institute, w. Va. and the West Vir-
ginia Collegiate institute is proud of
his achievements.
