The one accomplishment which
shall be an eternal monument to
the MS, F.C.W.C. is the school for
delinquent Negroes at Oakley, a
few miles out of Jackson.
For more than twenty years the
organization struggled before the
effort was crwned with success in
1889 and 1910 when the state as
sumed full responsibility for car
ing for Negro delinquents. Early
in the struggle the organization
bought the old Mt. Herman semi
nary for girls at Clinton and open
ed up training school which was
later destroyed by fire. Efforts
were then begun which eliminated
in the school at Oakley.
The federation properties at Gin
ton are now being developed as a
recreational center. Present facili-
ties consist of lake for swimming
and fishing, forests for hunting,
and temporary quarters for camp
ing.
The Future
Plans are under way for fully
developing the recreation center at
Clinton. The Boy Scouts have al
ready asked permission to help de-
velop the project. The state ex-
tension service and other groups
and individuals are also anxious to
make contributions of various sorts.
While seeking public aid in de-
veloping the center, the Mississippi
State Federation will not relax its
own efforts. Among the first items
on the agenda of the special devel-
opmental committee are deep
well and an administration build
ing in which will be located per-
manent headquarters for the fed
