lied the appropriation Of 100000.
Bennett operates under the board
of education of the Methodist E
piscopal church and is one of two
four year liberal arts colleges in
the United States exclusively for
Negro women.
Tuskegee Institute: During the
year the board voted 100000 of
which $4,000 is for constructing
and enuipping a building to house
the states administrative staff
in vocational agriculture, and $685.
GOO for equipment Of the school Of
agriculture. These two buildings
will bring together the agricultur-
al activities related to the public
schools and Negro farmers of the
state and provide adequate space
and equipment for satisfactory
service. The additional equipment
will enable Tuskegee to strengthen
its advanced work in agriculture
and vocational education to meet
the increasing demand from Ne
gro students Il.
In the field of public education
$135,000 were made available for
the support of state agents assist
ant agents for Negro rural schools.
This represents a slight reduction
from former annual appropriations
A $1,000 sum made possible a con-
ference Of state agents to formu-
late plans for national defense pro
grams in Negro high and county
training schools.
In addition to all this, goodly
sums were authorized to meet the
current maintenance expenses Of
several other colleges, to produce
films on Negro life, and to support
summer work shops, seminars and
conferences for Negro teachers.
Also Is grants in aid were made
varying in amounts from $500 to
$500 and totalling $31,096.
Thirty-five fellowships, includ-
ing six renewals, were awarded
and amendments to others were
made calling for $6O,213. For the
year 1871 the board voted s70-
900 for fellowships.
In his comments, DR.. Fosdick re-
ports:
s"Last year it was reported that
the General Education board would
shortly bring to a close its work in
the field Of general education. The
year 1910 marks the end of this
program, although a few further
appropriations may be made in Or
der to meet past obligations.
"The closing of the programs
in general education and child
growth and development leaves in
tact the existing work of the board
in education in southern states.
1t was around this area of inter-
est that the board was ORGANIZED
in 1902, and a consistent program
in the development of education
in both white and colored institu-
lions has been followed for nearly
DO years. In the few years of life
that now remain to the board it
would seem probable that its fast
vanishing funds would be spent on
what has been perhaps its central
interest"
