No. 2. +American Missionary Association. + + + +_OUR LIST OF FIELD WORKERS._ + +We present herewith our usual February list of missionaries, in church +and school, through the field of the Association. In this list many +thousands of our readers will recognize familiar names, some through +personal associations and others through their long-time acquaintance +with the work of the Association. It is no unimportant feature of the +great principle of co-operation on which our work is founded that we can +reckon upon a large force of long-tried and experienced workers in the +field. The Association has a wealth of wisdom in planning and carrying +on its work, by its ability to call into requisition the knowledge and +efforts of those who have spent many years in the South, and are +intimately acquainted with the needs, difficulties and advantages of the +work. Many individualistic schemes have failed at this point; but the +Association has developed a force that can be relied upon for the +intelligent investigation of new openings, the prudent planning of work +and its wise and steady support and development. At the same time, +associated with our older workers, we have the younger missionaries and +teachers with their fresh enthusiasm and fervent zeal, giving new +impulse of activity all along the line. This long list of names +represents years of self-denying attention and steady effort; it speaks +of large progress in the past and is the presage of still greater +progress in the future, for the list grows year by year. Our resources +and forces were never before so large as during the past year, and we +are encouraged to hope that they will be increased during the year to +come. + + * * * * * + + +_FINANCIAL._ + +Our current receipts for December were nearly $52,000, an increase of +$11,000 over those of December, 1889. For the first quarter of our +present fiscal year the current receipts amount to $106,000, as against +$100,000 for the corresponding period of last year. We thankfully +appreciate every enlargement of our resources, and shall continue to use +our best endeavors to keep the work within the means provided for it. +How difficult this is can be understood only by those who are in +constant receipt of numerous exigent calls for work in the great +populations among which our service lies. As a matter of record, +notwithstanding the utmost care on our part, while our receipts for this +quarter have gained $6,000 over those of last year, our expenses have +increased $12,000. We are profoundly grateful for the increasing public +interest and Christian co-operation in the work of the American +Missionary Association, and hope that the gifts of the churches will +continue to be accompanied by their counsels and their prayers. + + * * * * * + + +_THEOLOGICAL INSTRUCTION._ + +The association is undertaking to supply the serious need, met all along +its lines of missionary service, of a more intelligent and consecrated +ministry. For the use of our Biblical Training School for the ministry, +at Fisk University, we are engaged in the erection of the building; and +the work has been taken hold of by the Fisk University Singers, who are +meeting with cheering encouragement in the churches. It is our hope +that, within the coming year, an adequate structure may be provided for +this important work. + +The theological department at Howard University has received a valuable +accession to its faculty in the person of Prof. Ewell. This work will +now be re-classified and developed, and will offer unexcelled advantages +for practical training in preparation for the gospel ministry. + + * * * * * + + +_CONFERENCE WITH INDIAN COMMISSIONERS._ + +The Annual Conference of the Board of Indian Commissioners with the +representatives of the various religious bodies having charge of Indian +Missions was held in the parlors of the Riggs House, January 8th. The +presence of Senator Dawes, Representative Cutcheon, and other +distinguished persons, gave weight to the deliberations, and special +interest was added to the meeting by the troubles now prevailing in the +Dakotas among the Sioux Indians. Commissioner Morgan, Captain Pratt of +the Carlisle School, General Armstrong of Hampton, and the Secretaries +of the Missionary Societies presented an array of facts and of recent +information that gave a more favorable aspect to the situation than is +generally entertained. The disturbance among the Indians is confined to +at most 5,000 among the 250,000, and strong hopes are entertained that +serious bloodshed may be avoided. And yet, so great is the uncertainty +hanging over this matter, that before these lines reach our readers, the +daily press may give sad news of battle and disaster. + +The discussions of the Conference were ended with a series of +resolutions, the purport of which may thus be summed up: The Dakota +trouble is confined to a small number of Indians, and is due to the +inevitable opposition of the chiefs and anti-progressive elements among +the masses of the Indians. The removal of experienced Indian Agents for +political reasons was deprecated, and the importance of permanence in +the lines of policy pursued in the educational and Christianizing +influences was emphasized. Larger appropriations by the Government to +establish an adequate system of common-school education, until every +Indian child is enabled to attend school, compulsory education and the +continued support to contract schools, and additional facilities for +securing lands in severalty to the Indians, were endorsed. + +The decision which it was understood the Government had made, not to +transfer the care of the Indians to the War Department, was warmly +approbated. + + * * * * * + + +_THE INDIAN PROBLEM._ + + The present difficulties among the Indians in the Dakotas will + probably lead to a re-consideration of the whole system by which + the Government and the nation deals with these people. As a + contribution to that discussion, we present in condensed form some + suggestions recently published in a Boston paper, from our esteemed + friend, S.B. Capen, Esq., whose intelligent interest in the Indian + entitles his opinion to thoughtful consideration: + +While public attention is everywhere called to this matter, it is time +to agitate for a radical change in the whole administration of the +Indian service. We believe that this should be disconnected entirely +from the Department of the Interior, and be made a _separate +department_. This whole Indian question is so important and so complex +that it ought not to be simply an annex to a department which has under +its control land, patents, etc. It should stand by itself; there should +no longer be a divided responsibility, which is always productive of +evil. We are finding the necessity in our cities of making +responsibility more direct and personal. The time, we believe, has fully +come to reorganize the Indian service on this basis. Our criticism is +not against any individual, but against a system which is the growth of +many years. + +We would suggest the following; + +1. Have the Commissioner of Indian Affairs responsible only to the +President and to the public. What he does, or may do, shall not be +controlled by the Department of the Interior. + +2. Ask Congress to provide such legislation that no agents or teachers +shall ever be removed without proper cause. + +3. All inspectors and special agents shall be under the absolute control +of the Commissioner. + +4. There shall be a division of the Indian reservation into school +districts, with an assistant superintendent for each. It shall be their +duty to visit the schools constantly, and keep themselves in full +sympathy and touch with the work. This is the method in the States--an +official responsible for a field which he can properly cover. + + * * * * * + + +_EDUCATORS' CONVENTION._ + +The recent Educators' Convention of Atlanta was a large and significant +gathering. Such consultations of teachers carry a wide and beneficial +influence. We learn that the papers and addresses were of a high +character, and that the discussions were carried on with great interest, +and we have no doubt that the educational work throughout the South will +feel the upward impulse of this Convention. + +We quote the following paragraph from the excellent report in the +_Congregationalist_: + + The importance of the work of the Convention may be indicated by + the topics discussed: Education in Rural Districts, Relative + Mortality of the Colored Race, Hygiene, Industrial Training, Better + Teaching in the Elementary Grades, A Scientific Course in the + College Curriculum, Compulsory Education, What Can the Negro Do? + What the Ministry is Doing to Elevate the Freedmen. A résumé was + given of the educational work of the different denominations, + mainly by the secretaries of their educational societies. The + reports of the colored Methodist churches were especially + interesting, as indicating the gratifying extent to which the + colored people are taking hold of the work of their own education. + No paper of the Convention, however, was received with such + spontaneous enthusiasm and applause as the report of Dr. Beard of + the work of the American Missionary Association. It was the + eloquence of facts. The proceedings of the Association will + constitute a large volume, which will soon be published and widely + circulated. + + * * * * * + + +_"AN OPEN PATH FOR TALENT."_ + +Napoleon said this was the meaning of the French Revolution. He gave +promotion in the army not for what a man's ancestry had been, but for +what the man himself could do. Who else ever had such efficient +subordinates? Opportunities became open generally in France, according +to each one's personal ability. The excesses of the revolutionary period +were transitory. The enlargement of the nation's power, by removing the +fetters of prescription, has been permanent. The recuperative energy +displayed by France in the last twenty years is a marvelous example of +the strength imparted by liberty. + +The educational work of the American Missionary Association in the South +makes no revolutionary disturbance. It quietly opens a path for talent +whose existence had been before unnoticed or denied. It has been already +instrumental in bringing forward many men and women to positions of +influence. Beginning with the lowest branches of education, it trained +the first colored teachers for the State school systems. Its schools +for higher education have as yet come far short of supplying the demand +for advanced teachers and for educated ministers and other educated +professional and business men. + +We cannot make talent, but opening the door for talent to find +development and activity adds rich gifts to the Nation's life. + + * * * * * + + +_IRRESPONSIBLE INSTITUTIONS._ + +_The Independent_, in its Symposium of December 11th upon Gen. Booth's +Plan, has an article from Charles D. Kellogg, Superintendent of the +Charity Organization Society, in which, referring to a certain +irresponsible piece of charity, he says: + + We do not believe that it is right for any one to ask for the + support of such an individual enterprise, except from those who + give it because of personal knowledge and confidence in the + manager. When the public is appealed to, such contributions take on + the nature of trust funds, the receipts and disbursements of which + should be audited and accounted for in the fullest and frankest + manner. To encourage such private, uncontrolled and unaccounted for + undertakings, is simply to open the door for any number of + conscienceless schemers who are quick to impose upon the benevolent + public. + +The same is true of irresponsible educational institutions. All who +receive funds for such charitable purposes, are virtually stewards of +_trust money_ and ought to give an account of the same. All properties +thus developed ought to be put into a shape to be held securely and +perpetuated, and not left to become the personal possession of the +solicitors. Pious zeal and "faith" do not prevent the waste in such a +case. "Wisdom would not put cut and hammer-faced stone for the +foundation of a mountain school house, and costly glass in the windows," +but "faith" has done this, and keeps on doing similar things. + + * * * * * + + +_NOTES FROM NEW ENGLAND._ + +By District Secretary C.J. Ryder, Boston, Mass. + + +TWO WAYS OF DOING IT. + +"So you have come! Well! I don't know but it is just as favorable a time +as any. Still, we are in a very pinched condition. We have a debt that +we have carried for ten years and have scarcely been able to pay the +interest. The parsonage is in a desperate condition, and we are very far +from comfortable in it. Secretary Hood was here two months ago, and he +stirred the people up and took all that ought to be given to any of our +Benevolent Societies. Then, a month ago, Puddefoot was here, and you +know he sweeps in everything that can possibly be reached. I sometimes +think that he awakens too much interest, and that the churches give too +large collections. Our women are all interested in the American Board, +and will not feel like doing much for the American Missionary +Association Still, it is the time for our annual collection, and I +think no harm can come from an address on the A.M.A. work to-morrow. We +are very glad to see you." + +_This is one way._ + +"How do you do, dear old friend? I declare, it seems as if I had known +you a life-time. I am ever so glad you could come and speak to my church +to-morrow. We need stirring up tremendously. Although my people are a +large-hearted, generous people, they are so much absorbed with our own +interests here, that I fear sometimes they do not appreciate the larger +work done through the Benevolent Societies. Secretary Creegan was here a +little while ago and took away a splendid collection, but he left a lot +of ripe grain to be gathered in the harvest of some other society. Then, +dear old Puddefoot came here and rattled the dry bones till he made +living men and women out of some of the skeletons. He took away one of +the largest checks that ever went from our congregation to any +benevolent cause. Secretary Maile presented the work of the College and +Education Society in such a way as to rouse the people to a sense of its +great importance. We are wonderfully glad to see you and you see are all +ready for another ingathering to-morrow. These brethren have left more +than they took away in money, and have enlarged the scope of vision of a +good many people. They see the importance and the growing needs of these +Mission fields, as never before. Put in your best blows to-morrow. Don't +be afraid that you will take anything away that ought to remain in the +community; that isn't possible. God bless you in the splendid work the +A.M.A. is doing!" + +Now, brethren, these are two typical ways of meeting the collecting +Secretary when he calls. + +_Which is the better way?_ + + * * * * * + + +WHAT THE YOUNG PEOPLE AND CHILDREN ARE DOING THROUGH THE AMERICAN +MISSIONARY ASSOCIATION. + +The readers of this department of the AMERICAN MISSIONARY magazine will +remember that some time ago the Busy Bees in the First Church in Dover, +N.H., contributed money enough to furnish the nucleus of a greatly +needed Reference Library at Gregory Institute, Wilmington, N.C. This was +the beginning of several such movements on the part of the young people +and children. The Y.P.S.C.E. of Dorchester contributed a goodly sum for +the establishment of such a library at Grand View, Tenn. A gift toward +the work in Alaska comes from the Y.P.S.C.E. at Dedham. A good many +Sunday-schools have also contributed both to the general fund and to +special objects. In Gorham, Maine, the children were greatly interested +in the Stereopticon Exhibition, which was conducted by our faithful +missionary, Rev. S.E. Lathrop. Three of them determined to give +something substantial to this work. In order to raise money, they held +a Fair, making with their own hands many of the articles that were for +sale. This resulted in a considerable amount, which was supplemented by +a gift from the Sunday-school to constitute one of these children, +Robert Hinkley, a boy eight years of age, a Life Member of the American +Missionary Association. Is he not the youngest Life Member of our +Association? Cannot we have some letters from our friends giving the +ages of children who are Life Members? If any feel disposed to "beat the +record" by the payment of thirty dollars, they can confer this honor +upon their baby boy or girl. One baby in New England, at least, has +contributed to the work among the millions of neglected children, just +by being born. The father, a pastor of one of our churches, hands into +the treasury each year one dollar for each pound the baby weighs. When +this is known, there will be many of our missionaries who will be +praying for the health and rapid growth of that baby! + +In Melrose, also, the "Golden Rule Mission Band" are helping our great +work, and at the same time gaining an intelligent knowledge of this +field. At the beginning of the summer one dollar and twenty-five cents +was distributed among them, each one taking five cents. This was the +seed from which they reaped a harvest of twenty-six dollars. The +following are some of the methods by which they secured this remarkable +result. One little girl bought flower-seeds and raised flowers which she +sold, and made five dollars from her five cents. Another made candy and +sold it. A little boy had a peanut stand, and one little fellow earned +his money by "going without things." Could not older people follow his +example? It suggests Thoreau's epigram, "Your wealth is measured by the +number of things you can go without;" or, better yet, Paul's magnificent +words, "poor, yet making many rich." This little fellow has hit upon the +real principle of success, whether the life is spent in a field of +active missionary work, or in "doing without things" for Christ's sake, +that His name may be proclaimed, and that His kingdom may come. + + * * * * * + + +_CALLS FOR BOOKS._ + +Calls often come to us from the field for hymn books. Churches or +individuals having unused books, enough of the same kind to supply a +small congregation, can get them put where they will do the most good by +sending them to our rooms prepaid. + +If any of our pastors have BARNES' NOTES in complete or incomplete sets, +which they may now no longer need, the American Missionary Association +can use them most profitably in supplying their young missionaries. Send +them to us at the Bible House. + + * * * * * + + +_THE FIELD._ + +1890-1891. + +The following list presents the names and post-office addresses of those +who are employed in the Churches, Institutions and Schools aided by the +American Missionary Association. + + +_THE SOUTH._ + + Rev.

Collins to the gospel ministry. Rev. A.W. +Curtis of Raleigh was Moderator, and Rev. A. Connet of McLeansville, +Scribe. + +A gracious religious interest is reported from Fisk University, +Nashville, Tenn., and many hopeful conversions have gladdened the hearts +of our teachers there. The pastor of the Howard Church at Nashville, +Tenn., writes us of twenty-one conversions during Mr. Wharton's stay +with him. Six conversions are also reported at Thomasville, Ga. + +From Knoxville, Tenn., comes this word: The labors of Mr. and Mrs. +Wharton were greatly blessed of the Lord, the hearts of Christians were +revived and twenty-six souls were brought to the knowledge of Christ. We +are very hopeful of many of the most promising and influential young +people. Our Sabbath-school has just been reorganized and a number of the +converts have been put into active service. We expect good results to +follow the work of the evangelists for a long time to come. + +From Memphis, Tenn: Our attendance for last November ran up to the +goodly number 508. The present month will show an advance on this +number, and for January we expect to reach the 550 stage. The increase +must be confined chiefly to the night school, which is flourishing. + +At the recent Tenth Anniversary of the Lincoln Memorial Church in +Washington, the following facts were stated: + +The church was organized January 10, 1881, with eleven members, and its +present enrollment is 235. It has sustained a sewing-school, in which +over 400 girls have been taught. It held night schools until night +schools were opened in the public schools, and it now sustains a +kindergarten. It has sustained various branches of missionary, +temperance and charitable work. It has a flourishing Sunday-school and +senior and junior Societies of Christian Endeavor. + +A Sunday-school superintendent in the South needs a Bible Dictionary for +the use of himself and his school. Who will send a good second-hand one +for him? We will forward it. + + * * * * * + + +_TOUGALOO UNIVERSITY, MISS._ + +The University of Tougaloo is most beautifully located on a plantation +of five hundred acres among great oak trees festooned with Spanish moss. +We have been having delightful weather for the past month, corresponding +somewhat to our Northern October weather. + +It is truly pitiful to think how most of our pupils have lived before +coming here. One girl had never seen a flight of stairs before and stood +helplessly at the bottom, not knowing how to climb them: and finally +attempted to go up on her hands and knees as she had climbed a ladder. +But whatever they have been accustomed to before, they can never live +the same again after having been here. + +The one-roomed cabin is said to be the curse of the Negro, but the white +man built it for him and it remains for him to give him a desire for +something better. The Negro is essentially religious but he fails to +connect religion and morals. When you call upon one of the old aunties, +she talks about getting religion and what a glorious thing it is, and +describes visions of heaven and hell to you in the most vivid language: +but that doesn't prevent her drinking whiskey or telling lies. I have no +doubt, however, that some of the most egregious sins of these old slaves +are less in the eyes of God than many of our smaller ones. + +The students here carry on two literary societies and four religious +organizations, besides several little missionary societies; the King's +Daughters, the King's Sons, Young Men's Christian Association, and a +society called the Covenanters. The latter, however, have no meeting +outside of the regular Wednesday evening prayer-meeting, to which they +come prepared to take a part. This makes our Wednesday evening meetings +very interesting. It might not be a bad plan to have a body of +Covenanters in some of our Northern churches. + +The students work hard here. There are only a very few who have money +enough to pay their expenses. They begin school at seven in the morning +and finish at half past three. They work from that time until supper and +have study hours in the evening in the school-room, so that they have +absolutely no time for recreation, and Saturdays they work all day. Many +of them teach all summer after having been in school all the year. It is +really wonderful the way many of them do and it is a great pleasure to +teach them. + +Within the last two months we have commenced work among the churches +within four or five miles of here. Many of our older students make +excellent helpers and are so glad to go and teach in the Sunday-schools +and help their ignorant brethren in any way they can. I have never heard +one of our students express a desire to leave the South for anything +more than to complete his education. The most of them are planning to +work among their own people, teaching and carrying on trades in a way +that will be an example to the rest. + +Pres. Woodworth has a class composed of the pastors of the neighboring +churches, who meet him twice a week. Most of them can scarcely read a +chapter intelligently. Pres. Woodworth has taken up the Gospel of Mark +with them and is explaining it to them and showing them how to preach +from it, and they seem very appreciative, and say it is strange how long +they have misunderstood things. + +Considering the various opportunities for work in the school and +surrounding country, one could not ask for a more satisfactory field +than Tougaloo. + + * * * * * + + +_CONGREGATIONAL CHURCHES IN CHARLESTON, S.C._ + +By Superintendent R.C. Hitchcock + +Of much interest to me is the "Circular Church" in Charleston. As early +as 1690 a wooden building was erected on the site now occupied by the +Circular church, the street being named "Meeting Street" and the +building known as the "White Meeting." Its members were Scotch +Independents and Presbyterians, with a considerable element of Huguenots +from France. For one hundred fourteen years this house was used as a +place of worship, for the first forty of which the two bodies maintained +a union, after that two churches were formed, the Independents or +Congregationalists retaining the house. In 1731 the Presbyterians +erected a wooden building on the east side of the same street, many of +the Scotch going with this body. During the Revolutionary war, while the +city was held by the British, the church was used as a storehouse and +its interior shared the fate of the Boston "Old South." Its congregation +was composed of both white and colored members, but only "freemen" could +vote in meeting. + +The Civil War with its results, effected a separation of the white and +colored members, the white people rebuilding their lecture-room, the +colored worshiping in various places until 1867, when a letter was sent +the old church by a number of the former members, requesting an +honorable dismissal. This was granted and one hundred eight colored +people presented themselves for membership in a church contemplating +organization, as a Congregational church, to be called + + PLYMOUTH CHURCH. + +This organization was consummated April 14, 1867, under the auspices of +the American Missionary Association. And in 1872 a suitable edifice was +erected on Pitt Street at a cost of $5,000. The present pastor, Rev. +Geo. C. Rowe, is much beloved by his people. + +A tasteful parsonage is being erected on the church lot. It was greatly +needed. Plymouth Church is reaching out in schools and missions among +the colored people with earnest efficiency. + + * * * * * + + +_BUREAU OF WOMAN'S WORK._ + +Miss D.E. Emerson, Secretary + + +_OUR HOSPITAL AT FORT YATES, N.D._ + +By The Physician in Charge, Cynthia E. Pingree, M.D. + +I am sure that all will be glad to hear a word about the hospital for +Indians, especially as there is nothing but good news to tell. + +This hospital has now been built about two years. It will seem very +small when I tell you that it has but two wards, containing three cots +each, a bath-room, dispensary, reception room, doctor's and nurse's room +and dining room; and yet when the patient comes to us, he feels that we +have not only every convenience, but a great many luxuries, and from +this little Woasui Tipi or House of Healing, goes out many a ray to +gladden the hearts of those whom we to-day are trying to bring from +darkness into light. + +But little has been done for these people when ill, except conjuring, +which is synonymous with torturing, but these "medicine men" are +losing their hold upon the faith of those who at one time, and that +not long past, trusted them fully, and the more intelligent ones +gladly avail themselves of treatment. And no class of people needs it +more, the filthy manner in which they live causing much sickness. It +has been a great surprise to me as well as to them, to see how much +simple cleanliness will do in very many of these cases. The old rule, +"remove the cause, the disease is removed," holds true in these cases. +It is encouraging to see how soon some of these come to see the great +importance of this. + +I have in mind now a bright little boy nine years old, who was brought +to me wrapped in filthy old rags, unable to take one step on account of +terrible sores, which had received no attention whatever. The mother's +heart was very sad as she told me this was the only boy she had, five +having died. All the while I was attending to the little fellow the +mother carefully watched. She was given all that was necessary to use +for two weeks and when they returned, at the end of that time, it was +very evident that the boy had received good care. The mother cared for +him almost entirely after this, and in two months he came _running_ +across the prairie, his braided hair just flying, asking for a piece of +bread. While the child was not cured, he had been made comfortable, the +parents' hearts had been lightened of a great sorrow, and they had +learned more than one lesson in thus caring for their child. + +This is only one of many cases. Until they feel their illness is +well-nigh fatal they prefer the tent to the hospital, and even then a +great many wish to die out of doors. So that often the family come with +the ill one and camp just outside the yard. The hospital wards bring +comfort to two classes principally; the more civilized Indian, who +realizes the great benefit derived from good nursing, and those +friendless ones who are brought because they are too much trouble +elsewhere. Both of these classes are very grateful for all they receive. +The dispensary is open all the time and a great many are provided with +medicine. I think the friends of this Hospital may be of good cheer. + + * * * * * + + +_WOMAN'S STATE ORGANIZATIONS._ + +Co-operating with the American Missionary Association + + +MAINE. + + WOMAN'S AID TO A.M.A. + Chairman of Committee--Mrs. C.A.

In 2001, the Project +Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure +and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations. +To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation +and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4 +and the Foundation web page at https://www.pglaf.org. + + +Section 3.

Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg +Literary Archive Foundation + +Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide +spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of +increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be +freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest +array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations +($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt +status with the IRS. + +The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating +charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United +States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a +considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up +with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations +where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To +SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any +particular state visit https://pglaf.org + +While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we +have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition +against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who +approach us with offers to donate. + +International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make +any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from +outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff. + +Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation +methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other +ways including including checks, online payments and credit card +donations. To donate, please visit: https://pglaf.org/donate + + +Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic +works. + +Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm +concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared +with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project +Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support. + + +Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed +editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S. +unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily +keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition. + + +Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility: + + https://www.gutenberg.org + +This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm, +including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary +Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to +subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks. |
