+The Jubilee Year Fund.
+
+Extract from the appeal of the Executive Committee of the American
+Missionary Association:
+
+
+Fifty Dollars a Share.
+
+It is proposed to raise during the next six months a special Jubilee
+Year Fund of $100,000 in shares of $50 each, with the hope and
+expectation that these shares will be taken by the friends of missions
+without lessening those regular contributions which must be depended
+upon to sustain the current work.

+
+JUBILEE SHARES.
+
+Our readers will notice that our jubilee share list is increasing in
+numbers. We have reason to be grateful to God in that he has moved the
+hearts of so many and led them to help our Lord's needy ones. We would
+that those who have responded to our appeals could see the things that
+we see, and hear the things which we hear. We have nothing but gratitude
+for the fact that in this time of financial distress and uncertainty,
+when money is so hard to get, the cause which we bring to the Christian
+love and patriotism of good people is not losing, but gaining in their
+sympathies and help. This trying year--trying to so many, therefore
+trying to us--brings a jubilee thanksgiving to us, in that we are not
+sinking deeper into the horrible pit and miry clay of debt, but are
+little by little being pulled out of the slough. We know not how long
+the pull may be, but if those who love the Lord Jesus Christ will pull
+all together we shall not fail, and we need not be discouraged. Our feet
+will get upon a rock and our goings be established; for which we pray.
+
+
+LEADERS.
+
+The _Home Mission Monthly_ of the American Baptist Home Mission Society,
+in an article upon "Leaders," agrees with us in saying: "A different
+style of men is needed as leaders of the colored people to-day from that
+of those who aspired to leadership twenty-five years ago; the race has
+made great progress; there are multitudes now of Negro men and women who
+have had the advantages of the common schools, many who have a college
+education, and some who have university culture; to wisely influence
+them in their thought and action is more difficult than to control the
+masses of the illiterate and untrained. It is especially worthy of
+consideration that among the Negroes of the South to-day are some men of
+power and of education who are leaders; but whose leadership,
+unfortunately, is in the wrong direction. This renders it all the more
+urgent that the Mission Society and kindred organizations should seek to
+supply them with a class of leaders who, by reason of their godly
+character, their knowledge, their training, their consecration, will be
+able to counteract the evil influences now at work, and to lead their
+people into paths of righteousness.
+
+"The Mission Society does not attempt to provide a college education
+for the multitudes of Negroes; even this would be a task beyond its
+resources. What it does aim to do is simply to secure, if possible,
+the education of a comparatively few young men and young women, who
+shall become leaders among their people; men and women who by their
+knowledge, training, culture, power, will be able to organize and
+direct the energies of the masses of the people. Leaders are needed,
+and these should be thoroughly competent for leadership; it is a hard
+task to influence successfully the development of a race of eight
+million people, and those who attempt the work require natural
+qualities of a high order and also unusual attainments."
+
+What is to prevent these people who have been enfranchised from
+becoming the prey of demagogues and designing men who wish to use
+them for unchristian purposes and in unchristian ways, unless they have
+large minded, thoroughly educated leaders with knowledge of history
+and of life who can lead their own people in the ways of righteousness?
+Events now transpiring give significance to this question.
+

+
+
+The University of Pennsylvania has conferred the degree of Doctor
+of Philosophy on Mr. Lewis B. Moore, who graduated from Fisk University
+a few years ago. We listened to his "graduating address" at
+the close of his college years at Fisk, whence he went to Philadelphia
+to take charge of a branch of the Y.M.C.A. While attending to the
+laborious duties of this position he has, during four years of earnest,
+patient, and thorough study, earned his degree of Ph.D. in Greek
+and Latin and Ethics, in one of the severest graduate schools in the
+country. Dr. Moore is one of "our boys"; and there are many of
+them who are preparing themselves, by their vision of a larger life
+and their attainment of larger possessions, to be wise leaders among
+their people. Dr. Moore is now an instructor in Howard University,
+Washington, D.C.

+
+
+There are those who object to the constitutional rights of the Negro,
+and some who object to his Christian privileges, lest his recognition as
+a man shall lead to "social equality," whatever this may mean. The
+following from a leading Negro paper, _i.e._, edited by a Negro for a
+Negro constituency, is a testimony as to what is and what is not the
+Negro's idea of "recognition":
+
+"That the Negroes in recognizing constitutional rights are at the same
+time seeking an arbitrary social equality with any other race is
+erroneous. From the time of emancipation, the colored people have had no
+disposition to force a social alliance with the whites. The colored
+citizens have all their civil and political rights, and these rights
+they demand. When honored colored men or women enter a first-class
+hotel or restaurant, or seek a decent stateroom on a steamer, they do
+not enter these places because they are seeking social contact with the
+whites, but because they demand their just privileges for their personal
+protection and comfort."

+
+
+HARRIET BEECHER STOWE.
+
+Of the illustrious ones who laid the foundations for the liberation of
+the slave, the name of Harriet Beecher Stowe leads all the rest.
+
+What America's greatest woman did towards making freedom possible, our
+devoted and consecrated women teachers have been carrying out these
+thirty years to the full Christian conclusion. Those who read the
+records of the closing days of our schools in this present August number
+of THE MISSIONARY will be reminded how these faithful teachers are still
+engaged completing the unfinished work of their greater sister.
+
+Next to "Uncle Tom's Cabin," perhaps the book which has the truest stamp
+of the genius of Mrs. Stowe is her "Old Town Folks." In her incomparable
+description of "School Days in Cloudland," in which she shows how her
+sympathies went out to the people of every nation and tongue who are
+oppressed, she compares the influences of education in New England with
+a country without schoolhouses, saying: "Look at Spain at this hour and
+look back at New England at the time of which I write, and compare the
+Spanish peasantry with the yeomen of New England. If Spain had had not a
+single cathedral, if her Murillos had all been sunk in the sea, and if
+she had had, for a hundred years past, a set of schoolmasters and
+ministers working together as I have described Mr. Avery and Mr.
+Rossiter as working, would not Spain be infinitely better off for this
+life at least? That is the point that I humbly present to the
+consideration of the public."
+
+This point which Mrs. Stowe presents to the consideration of the public,
+is the one to which her younger sisters are faithfully directing their
+faith and their works among a people who up to Mrs. Stowe's day never
+saw a schoolhouse.
+
+We make our tribute to the gracious memory of her whose words went out
+into all the world and extended to the ends of the earth: and we ask
+remembrance of those who under the same inspiration are living among the
+children of these liberated ones and are taking with them the love and
+wisdom of Him who was "anointed to preach the gospel to the poor, the
+recovery of sight to the blind, and to proclaim the acceptable year of
+the Lord."
+
+We are sometimes asked how this work of education, which Mrs. Stowe did
+more than any other person to inaugurate, is regarded by the intelligent
+white people of the South. We can gladly say that we have too much
+recognition and appreciation of our work among good people of the South
+to be otherwise than thankful for it, and for the fact that these good
+people are increasing every year in numbers and in readiness to
+encourage us. We have never united in more earnest prayers for our work,
+and for those who carry it on, even in our annual meetings than in our
+worship in the South with many Southern pastors, and nowhere have we
+heard more appreciative words respecting our work than from good people
+of the South who have acquainted themselves with what we are doing and
+how we are doing it. That multitudes are still unable to see and unready
+to prophesy does not count. The day of appreciative recognition has not
+fully come, but it has dawned, and will come by and by.

+
+
+THE HISTORIES OF OUR CHURCHES.
+
+We have asked the pastors of some of our churches to give to us
+sketches of the histories of those churches--their location, pastors
+and membership, the condition of their members financially and otherwise,
+how many have homes of their own, and what are their employments.
+The details are truthful and are of value as showing the people
+in their church, home, and business life.

+
+DEER LODGE, TENN.
+
+By Mrs. Ella Gill Sedgwick.
+
+Deer Lodge, on the Cumberland Plateau in east Tennessee, is delightfully
+located. The adjacent country is highly picturesque--rocky cliffs, deep
+ravines, winding wooded streams, giving beauty to the landscape. To the
+eastward, stretching far in undulating lines, are the mountains, seen
+through a purple mist of great beauty. We often repeat the words, "As
+the mountains are round about Jerusalem, so the Lord is round about his
+people." We are nearly 2,000 feet above the level of the sea, so the air
+is pure and healthful. A spicy fragrance fills the air, blown down from
+the pines that crown the hills.
+
+Deer Lodge has been settled mostly by Northern people. In a religious
+point of view we are divided into Congregationalists, Methodists, and
+Baptists, with a few Episcopalians. There is only one church building,
+however, the Congregationalists'. This is a beautiful little edifice
+worthy of the growing importance of this interesting field on the
+Cumberland Plateau. The church has a choice location on Ross Avenue.
+
+On April 13, 1889, the corner-stone was laid, and on August 4 of the
+same year the church was dedicated. The church has good officers and
+earnest working members. The present membership is forty-one. No
+hostility is shown toward our church by the members of other churches,
+but all are united and recognize in every one who loves the Master a
+fellow-worker in the vineyard of Christ.
+
+The present pastor, Rev. G. Lusty, during his residence among us has
+endeared himself to all. A promising work is being done in the
+Sabbath-school, and we believe that from it constantly go forth many
+little rills of influence that are entering the homes and bringing the
+people a higher and purer life. The Christian Endeavor society is doing
+a good work among the young people. The prayer-meetings held on Thursday
+evenings are well attended. The growth of the church has not been rapid,
+but is steady, and during its history has enjoyed some revivals of
+religion.
+
+Under the direction of the pastor's loyal wife the young people have
+been gathered into a sewing-school at her home every Saturday afternoon,
+and everything is done to encourage the little fingers in their attempts
+to guide the needle; and we feel that here, too, is a work being done
+that will bring forth fruit in the homes.
+
+The barrels of supplies, sent to us by friends in other States, have
+enabled us to assist many needy ones. While packing these missionary
+boxes, if you could only see "the other end of the line" you would feel
+rewarded for your gifts. The kindness done for Christ's sake will not be
+forgotten.
+
+The country around Deer Lodge is sparsely settled. One can travel miles
+without meeting any one. The people are somewhere--where, we are unable
+to tell; yet when they have an opportunity to hear preaching you will
+always find many people gathered in the schoolhouse where the "meeting"
+is to be held. In traveling through the surrounding country you will see
+many rough log houses, with only one room and often without windows, two
+doors opposite each other, one door always kept open winter and summer.
+A huge fire-place is in one end of the room. If you would have a view of
+humanity in its simplicity, visit one of these mountain homes. You will
+find everything of the most primitive kind. The hum of the
+spinning-wheel and the heavy thud of the loom will greet your ears. In
+one room you will very often see several beds, while the rest of the
+furniture will consist of a few wooden chairs, a table and perhaps a
+cupboard, and into this one room will be gathered the whole family, the
+women with old shawls over their heads, sitting by the fire chewing
+tobacco, or with the invariable snuff-stick in their mouth. But
+everywhere you will be treated with kindness and invariable civility.
+"Come and see us," they say; "we are mighty poor folks, but we will do
+the best we can." These mountaineers take life in a slow and easy way;
+you cannot make them "step to Yankee time."
+
+Last Sabbath we attended one of the afternoon services. Our road passed
+for several miles through a lovely forest, with its soft shadows and
+calm repose. The only sound to break the stillness was the song of the
+birds. After a while we heard ringing out through the pine woods the
+echo of gospel hymns. Following the sound, and wending our way a little
+farther through the woods, in a quiet glen we came to the school house
+where the services were to be held. Here we found an earnest, attentive
+audience. In one place an outdoor meeting was held. It was a rare,
+perfect day. The people came in twos and threes, finding places wherever
+they could. One could almost fancy that other scene of centuries ago,
+beneath the blue skies of Palestine, where, when the multitude were
+gathered upon the mountain, the Master "opened His mouth and taught
+them."
+
+Among these mountaineers are young men and women eager in their desire
+for knowledge, and anxious for an opportunity to learn of a better way
+of life. We believe that to the question, "What of the night?" the
+answer can be given, "The morning cometh."

+
+COMMENCEMENT AT FISK UNIVERSITY.
+
+By Miss Alice M. Garsden.
+
+I cannot promise you a sketch of our commencement abounding in local
+color, for, if one were afflicted with color-blindness, he would
+probably be unable to discover many points of difference between
+commencement at Fisk and the same exercises at an Eastern college of
+about the same size.
+
+As a mere reprint of the programs of the various anniversary exercises,
+which continued for three or four days, would occupy more space than is
+allowed for this article, it is evident that many things of interest
+must be crowded out.
+
+_The Department of Music_ gave a characteristic performance. Every
+selection on the program was well rendered. No music but the best is
+ever studied at Fisk, and the productions of the great composers are not
+only well played, but also well appreciated by our students.
+
+The exhibition given by the _Gymnastic Department_ showed that Fisk has
+athletes as well as musicians. The young men went through a series of
+feats which showed both agility and strength. If they fail in the work
+of life, it will not be for lack of hard, well-trained muscles. This
+department has been under the direction of a student for the past two
+years.
+
+Rev. Ira Landrith, D.D., of Nashville, preached the annual "missionary
+sermon." Dr. Landrith possesses true Southern eloquence, and was
+listened to with marked attention. During the year he has, on several
+occasions, expressed himself as heartily in sympathy with our work. Such
+friendliness on the part of an influential Southerner is pleasant to
+note.
+
+Dr. Beard, our secretary, preached the "baccalaureate sermon." He
+presented in a very vivid manner the blessings to be won by those who
+conquer the hindrances of life. He showed how the law of struggle is the
+law of strength and of possession. The duty and necessity of overcoming
+evil, as well as the rewards, were illustrated and urged.
+
+The various alumni associations are now endeavoring to raise a fund of
+one thousand dollars for the university. They are faithful to their alma
+mater.
+
+The graduating exercises of the Normal Department were largely attended,
+and the thirteen young women of the class would have been listened to on
+any Northern commencement platform with earnest and thoughtful
+attention. President Cravath's address to them was on "The New Woman."
+"The educated young colored woman of to-day," he said, "is, in a
+peculiar sense, the new woman of her race." He contrasted the
+opportunities of the young women before him with those which their
+mothers had, and besought them to consider their peculiar
+responsibilities linked with their opportunities.
+
+For the regular college graduation exercises every seat in the spacious
+chapel was filled. Plants and wild-flowers had been used to decorate the
+platform, while large flags were artistically draped on either side. The
+class, numbering fifteen, occupied the front seats. President Cravath,
+Dr. Beard, and other guests were on the platform. The orations were,
+without exception, highly creditable. The speakers chose subjects of
+current interest instead of recounting the exploits of the ancient
+Greeks and Romans or making Napoleon fight his battles over again for
+us. They bore the marks of thoughtful and accurate study. After the
+conferring of the degrees, the audience rose while the Mozart Society
+rendered the Hallelujah Chorus. What a debt of gratitude we owe to
+Handel for giving us that Chorus! General Fisk used to say that there
+were glories and hallelujahs and amens enough in it to make several
+rousing Methodist camp-meetings.
+
+After the commencement exercises a collation was served to which all
+the alumni and the parents of the students present were invited. After
+the refreshments the speeches followed. These were not of the
+time-honored sort. Fathers and mothers rose and told of the struggles
+they had made to get their boy or girl through school. Many were the

+HOWARD UNIVERSITY, THEOLOGICAL DEPARTMENT, WASHINGTON, D.C.
+
+By Prof. J.H. Ewell, D.D.
+
+The American Missionary Association was obliged to reduce the
+appropriation for our work by one-fourth this year. This has occasioned
+so much extra work, care, and anxiety, but the good hand of our Heavenly
+Father has been upon us, and the teachers have increased their hours in
+the classroom, and kind friends and churches have lent a helping hand.
+Grateful mention should be made of large assistance from the First
+Congregational Church, of Washington, and of aid from young churches
+with heavy burdens upon them. One devoted and steadfast friend who gave
+according to her power, yea, gave beyond her power; whose means were
+small, but whose charities were large, because she spent so little upon
+herself, Miss Mary F. Andrews, of Millbury, has been called home during
+the year. Who will take her place? I wish there were space to speak of
+all who have co-operated with us by giving. Almost every gift has some
+association that has made it specially cheering.
+
+Our Anniversary Exercises received the heartiest commendation. The class
+numbered eight more than four years previously. We are greatly
+encouraged by the good work that our graduates are doing. May the Lord
+reward all of our beloved supporters! We always pray for them and for
+the Association, and for all our varied workers under its auspices, and
+we ask especially that all who are interested in our work will pray for
+us that Charles Wesley's petition may be fulfilled in us,
+
+  "Write Thy new name upon my heart,
+  Thy best new name of Love."

+LINCOLN ACADEMY, KING'S MOUNTAIN, N.C.
+
+By Rev. A.W. Curtis.
+
+Lincoln Academy is beautiful for situation, in the midst of groves of
+young pine, on a considerable plateau sloping southward, overlooking
+the valley of a little creek with the grand old mountain towering above
+them on the farther side. A quiet restful spot removed from the
+temptations of town life, four miles from the village station; just the
+place for the great family home school which I found on this occasion,
+Wednesday night, busy as bees preparing for the great event of the year.
+The boys had put up a brush arbor in the grove near by, and provided
+plenty of plank seats beneath.
+
+We had a rousing Christian Endeavor meeting that night, the last of the
+session. All of the students belong to the Senior or Junior branch, and
+with the schedule topic, "The Widening of Christ's Kingdom," brought
+home and made personal, "What can I do to extend Christ's Kingdom during
+this vacation?" Many very practical talks were given, and many pledges
+of best endeavor to this end in the home life or where they were
+expecting to teach through the summer. Strange noises were heard during
+the night, which the morning light explained by the covered wagons,
+prairie schooners we would call them at the West, which had come in and
+camped out near the spring. As the hour approached a perfect string of
+nondescript vehicles bringing the whole family, and many others on
+muleback or on foot, came pouring in from near and far, until by 10 A.M.
+nearly one thousand people had gathered in and around the arbor; some of
+them coming from thirty to fifty miles overland.
+
+"Old Glory" had been floating from the flagstaff above the central
+school building all the morning, and now the scholars, neatly dressed,
+came marching up the hill and crowded the platform to sing their welcome
+song. Prayer was offered by one of the first graduates, now a minister.
+Then the principal, and lady general, gave out the orders for the day in
+such a womanly and winning way as showed her fully mistress of the
+situation.
+
+"No _smoking_ anywhere on the school-grounds; no changing of seats
+during any exercise; no selling of liquors or even ice cream, lemonade,
+or other refreshments--not because these latter were not good in
+themselves, but because of the temptation to spend money which they
+could not afford in these hard times, and while complaining that they
+could not raise money for the schooling of their children, they must not
+spend their nickels in such ways. Take care of their nickels and they
+would soon count up to dollars."
+
+Several hucksters and peddlers, who had come with their wares, the
+principal succeeded in driving off, and in a region where whisky has
+flowed freely and smoking is almost their vital breath, she that day had
+an orderly assemblage of nearly a thousand, on uncomfortable seats,
+quiet and interested for four and a half hours without any intermission!
+
+It was a very carefully prepared program; speeches, essays, recitals,
+dialogues, and such splendid singing as only these trained voices of
+colored students can give. It was no easy matter to speak so as to be
+heard by such a crowd in the open air, but every girl as well as boy
+succeeded admirably, and all showed most careful training and drill. The
+themes chosen were very practical and fitted to the occasion.
+
+Tobacco got rough and fearless handling, and liquor-drinking was rebuked
+in almost every conceivable way and rubbed in repeatedly. The old and
+the modern ways of teaching were compared and illustrated; indeed, every
+recitation was evidently selected with reference to its moral effect.
+
+Certainly these huge commencement gatherings are themselves educators
+for the fathers and mothers and kinsfolk of these young people, whom
+they are proud to see doing so well. The words of all the songs were
+thoroughly learned, so they will do service in many another gathering
+wherever these students may be. It was the writer's privilege to give
+the commencement address on "Making the best use of life as God's plan
+for our highest good."
+
+Thursday night we held a parting communion service with the
+Congregational Church, which is mainly composed of students. The maps
+shown me and many of their examination papers were exceptionally good.
+Last winter mumps and measles successively swept through the school, and
+at one time made the home almost a hospital, but the brave teachers went
+through all, kept up recitations with the well ones, and nursed the sick
+and brought them all safely through without the expense of a doctor. Now
+all were well and evidently thriving on good food, though it is marvel
+to me how good board can be afforded with tuition, and all expenses
+covered for $4.50 per month, and yet work be furnished to most of them
+for one-third of that, bringing the cash outlay to _ten cents a day!_
+but they do it, and a happier household I have never seen than those who
+gather at Lincoln Academy.
+
+A white man with whom I was talking at the station said, "Those lady
+teachers are doing a great work for this whole region."
+
+So the leaven works.

+
+ALLEN NORMAL SCHOOL, THOMASVILLE, GA.
+
+By Miss Amelia Merriam.
+
+The fact that with the graduation of the class of '96 our school would
+complete its first decade, added interest to the occasion.
+
+One member of the class has been in the school from its organization. In
+the class history she gave quite a vivid description of those trying
+days when the building at Quitman, Ga., where the school was first
+gathered, was burned to the ground, as the result of hostile feeling on
+the part of the citizens of the place. Certainly there has been progress
+toward a just appreciation of the work of the American Missionary
+Association in the communities where its work has been done, as seen in
+the kindly feeling toward the school manifested in various ways by the
+people of Thomasville.
+
+Of the six graduates, five are young women; three of these begin their
+work of teaching in country schools immediately. One, the valedictorian
+of the class, has already written something in regard to her
+surroundings. At the place, which is the best in the neighborhood, where
+she was to board--if the word may be used in connection with such a
+state of things--she writes that there is almost nothing in the way of
+necessities for decent living. There is not a lamp in the house; not
+even a tallow candle, the room in which the family eat and sleep being
+lighted only by building a fire upon the hearth. Of such an article as a
+towel they apparently do not know the use; and the one basin in which
+she washed her hands serves for various other domestic purposes. Almost
+the only household appliances are two ovens, as they are called--two
+flat-bottomed, shallow iron kettles, with iron covers, and legs a few
+inches long. Under these kettles, out of doors, the fire is made, and
+coals put upon the flat covers. In this way the hoe-cake is baked in
+one, while the bacon is fried in the other. These two viands, with an
+occasional mess of greens or potatoes, constitute the bill of fare month
+in and month out. No wonder the poor girl lost her appetite. She was
+supplied from the Home with what she needed to make herself comfortable
+in the one very small room which she is fortunate enough to have to
+herself.
+
+It is from country places like these that we wish to bring scholars into
+the school. The truth is that the young people in these communities are
+too ignorant to have any desire for anything different from what they
+now have. Here is an almost limitless home missionary field, to be
+worked by the graduates of our schools. These teachers are good
+object-lessons, showing what an education, including a knowledge of
+homemaking, as well as what is learned from books, can do for boys and
+girls like themselves.
+
+We rejoice in the fact that when the school closed, all of the girls in
+the Hall were professedly disciples of Christ, and will, we believe, go
+back to their homes to be better daughters and more helpful members of
+the communities so much in need of the influences which we trust they
+will exert.
+
+Five of our scholars connected themselves with our church at the last
+communion service.

+SALUDA SEMINARY, N.C.
+
+By Rev. E.W. Hollies.
+
+The closing exercises at Saluda Seminary took place on Friday evening,
+May 1. Visitors overflowed the schoolrooms before the appointed hour.
+After the introductory march had been rendered by one of the music
+pupils on the beautiful Estey piano which adorned the platform, there
+was not a standing place left for seeing nor hearing. The young people
+kept everybody interested and pleased for three hours, by readings,
+recitations, instrumental music, and songs. "The Delsarte Children," a
+drill by eight little girls, whose motions were accompanied with strains
+of music, was prettily and accurately presented, and was much
+appreciated.
+
+A cantata, "THE VOICES OF NATURE," was presented by the Juniors, and was
+an interesting and pleasing feature of the evening, and showed that
+careful instruction had been given by the teacher of music. Two well
+prepared essays were read by their authors; one for, and the other
+against, "Woman Suffrage."
+
+The "SALUDA HERALD," a paper of thirty-two pages, published by the
+pupils of the school, was read by four of its editors. This paper
+contained many good things in the form of prose, poems, puns, and
+puzzles. It abounded in wit and good humor. Its production was a credit
+to the young people and added much to the enjoyment of the visitors; and
+it was also unmistakable evidence that the young people attending this
+school are taught to think and to write their thoughts with grammatical
+accuracy, and also to give intelligent vocal expression to the same.
+Saluda is highly favored in having this excellent school within its
+borders.

+BURRELL SCHOOL, SELMA, ALA.
+
+By Prof. A.T. Burnell.
+
+The year 1895-6 will be long remembered by all connected with Burrell
+School, Selma, Ala., for the widespread religious interest gathering in
+nearly half of those attending in March; for the continued increase of
+enrolment, especially in the grammar and normal grades; and the closing
+of this year will be remembered as a great and successful financial
+endeavor, which netted for the school fifty dollars--"one jubilee
+share." It is to be said that Selma is a generous town, when
+entertainments come as at this season for the colored schools here.
+Burrell presented one for the primaries, in which an entire grade
+appeared upon the stage, some children impersonating trees planted by
+other children and growing as by magic, while still others played "hide
+and seek" about the trees or built nests therein.
+
+On the second programme, intermingled with the usual dialogues and
+"speeches" so loudly demanded by all pupils, there were the essays of
+three who had completed the tenth grade, and some excellent music, with
+shadow pictures, etc.
+
+But the chief interest centered in the drama, that brought a crowded
+house on Wednesday evening, and was repeated the next week.
+
+Public examinations were held for three days, beginning Friday the 22d,
+when a good number of friends visited the different rooms, noted the
+work of the pupils, and shared with the teachers the quizzing of the
+pupils, who seemed to enjoy their part. Not the least interesting
+because thoroughly practical was the display of garments, stitching and
+mending in the sewing-room; and, in the blacksmith and the carpenter
+shops, articles manufactured by the boys. The school ground gives
+evidence of workmen--attending to fences, repairs on buildings, a shop,
+and two pump-shelters erected.
+
+The catalogue just issued lists 287 students, a gain of twenty-four per
+cent. in two years; gives a history of Burrell from its start in 1869,
+and among former students names all the lady teachers of the city
+school, besides five on other faculties in Selma.

+BLOWING ROCK, N.C.
+
+By Mrs. Ellen R. Dorsett.
+
+Skyland Institute at Blowing Rock, N.C., has during the year continually
+had in mind the saying, "Children should be seen and not heard," and so
+has not lifted up her voice to report her work. But the child is now six
+years old, is growing in beauty and strength, and needs some attention.
+
+The year has been one of good things. Our pupils have been of a better
+class than in previous years, and better adapted to go out and teach.
+Our attendance has been more regular, our tuition has been paid as a
+rule, and, although epidemics have prevailed all about us, we have lived
+under the banner of the ninety-first Psalm and "no evil has befallen
+us."
+
+Our closing exercises consisted of reports from our different
+organizations by a representative from each; class histories, and an
+industrial exhibit on Tuesday afternoon, June 2. The following morning
+Rev. J.L. Murphy gave us an address on the topic, "Wanted--A Man." It
+was able, interesting, and inspiring. Mr. Murphy has for several years
+been president of a girls' college in Hickory, N.C., and we were
+fortunate in securing his services.
+
+We have more applications for places in our home and school next year
+than we have places, and just as soon as _that debt_ is paid, the North
+will hear a lusty cry from this child for _room, more room_.

+ENFIELD, N.C.
+
+By Rev. T.S. Inborden.
+
+The Joseph K. Brick Agricultural, Industrial and Normal School, located
+at Enfield, N.C., celebrated its first anniversary May 29. It was a
+noteworthy occasion for many who had not before visited the old
+plantation under the new regime.
+
+The exercises began at eight o'clock p.m., but as early as three o'clock
+the people began to gather. They came on foot, in ox carts, wagons and
+on bicycles. They were plain farmers, young teachers, politicians and
+merchants. All were enthusiastic in their interest in the school. The
+exercises were full of interest and the outlook for another year never
+seemed brighter. Another year, God willing, we will show a great
+advance.

+LINCOLN SCHOOL, MERIDIAN, MISS.
+
+By Mrs. H.I. Miller.
+
+Our school closed its doors on the night of the 26th of May. All went
+away saying "It was the best commencement Lincoln has ever had." I
+heartily endorse the opinion. There were seven graduates--six young men
+and one young woman. There were six orations, and all were so good that
+a higher institution might well be proud of them. At our Social meeting
+on the morning of the 26th, we had pleasant talks and addresses, after
+which the industrial work, papers on nursing and examination papers were
+exhibited. There were dresses, aprons, undergarments, sets of
+button-holes, quilts, skirts, cushions, specimens of darning and
+patching, and various fancy articles, some of them exceedingly well
+done. We also had delicate work from the kindergarten and primary rooms;
+paper folding and card sewing, showing great neatness of little fingers.
+
+Among other papers of interest were those from the general history
+class. Each pupil selected some country or character for review, and so
+our work extended from old China and Egypt to modern Africa. One young
+man writing on the last named country was induced to give the article to
+the State through the newspapers and it has been published.
+
+Some of our young people are teaching, and others are at other work.
+There are very few summer schools here now, and those opened are only
+for primary grades.
+
+The Lincoln school is reaping honors at Tougaloo University. Two
+scholarships this year were won by two of our ex-graduates, and this
+gives Lincoln the honor of five such prizes won in that institution.
+
+We shall greatly rejoice when the pulpits and places of great
+responsibility are filled with intelligent leaders. We cannot but feel
+amused, yet distressed, at the mis-read Scriptures. One brother in his
+morning lesson from the pulpit said: "Brothers, we should be of the same
+mind--_one body_ and mind, for it says here, 'the twins shall be one
+flesh.'" A young man came to us, and asked help in writing his sermons.
+He had no Bible; I urged his purchasing one, as he could read. One day
+he came and said his text was the 14th of John. I inquired the passage.
+"Oh," he said, "I takes the whole chapter, and so I don' have to say
+much." It surely was the best way for his audience.
+
+Our class motto was "The Future needs us," and I trust all the class
+will fully realize how much they are needed.

+A LESSON IN HOME BUILDING.
+
+By a Teacher.
+Andersonville, Ga.
+
+A woman came in this evening to sell strawberries which were neatly
+covered with a bit of white cloth. She looked around our sitting-room
+and shook her turbaned head, saying, "I sure would be afraid to live in
+this house." "Why," I asked, curious to know what fearful thing she saw
+in her glance. "Oh, it's so big, and has so many rooms." Our cozy home,
+so snug, with not an inch of unused room, that we call our "Bird's
+Nest!" Alas for the people that do not feel at home save in a one-roomed
+cabin, and do not feel the necessity of work unless they are hungry. I
+long so, sometimes, for something that will make this people hungry and
+thirsty for better things, that will make them dissatisfied with the
+things that content them now. The longing is _sure_ to come, if we can
+have patience to wait.
+
+A woman a short distance away lives in a house whose roof lets in the
+water in streams during a heavy rain. She called on us in the spring so
+hoarse that she could hardly speak. A few questions brought out the
+trouble, and revealed the fact that she owned a pile of lumber near by.
+I asked her why they did not repair it. She thought it too old, and the
+reason she gave for not building a new one was that she was waiting for
+her "old man" to begin. I found that her daughter was teaching school in
+the country, and had $25 already due her that she could use for the
+work. I told her to have one room put up at once, and build others as
+she had money. She thought a little, then said, "Tell me all about it,
+and I'll do just as you say." Now the room is nearly finished (not
+ceiled or plastered, for such extras are almost unknown), and a prouder
+woman would be hard to find. All are not so willing to be taught, but I
+rejoice over every improvement.

+AMONG THE INDIANS.
+
+CLOSING EXERCISES AT SANTEE NORMAL SCHOOL.
+
+By Miss Edith Leonard.
+
+The last busy days of the school year are over. We have gathered the
+first fruits of our work; we hope there will be a greater harvest in
+years to come.
+
+At the communion service, on June 7, three of our pupils were received
+into the church. The next Thursday came the evening of declamations,
+recitations, and music, for which the pupils had been preparing. During
+the last four weeks it was a common thing to find a boy declaiming to an
+imaginary audience in the schoolroom, or to find a girl reciting in
+some secluded spot in the yard, or on the hills in the pasture. In most
+schools that is nothing worthy of remark, but to us it shows that the
+young people are beginning to feel that their success depends on their
+own efforts.
+
+When the evening came we had an enjoyable entertainment. The house was
+decorated with the tall, graceful stems of the Solomon's Seal, and the
+platform had a rug and potted plants upon it, and our two beautiful
+flags draped behind it.
+
+Among the recitations, "Betty, the Bound Girl," and "The Peril of a
+Passenger Train," were well rendered. Lowell's "A Day in June" was given
+with a pleasant voice and manner that fitted the poem. There was an
+organ solo, an organ duet, and a sprightly little song by a quartet,
+"All Among the Barley." Among the best things were part of an address by
+Channing on "Distinction of Mind and Material Forms," and one by
+Mitchell on "The First View of the Heavens." The thoughts were noble and
+nobly expressed, and the young men delivered them with thoughtfulness
+and appreciation, which made us glad, especially as these addresses were
+their own choice.
+
+Immediately after these exercises we all adjourned to the dining room
+to see what the girls had done in their little missionary society. Here
+was a table gay with pretty articles they had made. Among them were a
+nice comfortable, some embroidered doilies, chair pillows, handkerchief
+cases, and other things. Most of them were quickly sold. There was also
+ice-cream and cake for sale. The girls took about seventeen dollars by
+their fair, and the proceeds are to go to the A.M.A.
+
+The next day was the last. We planned to have an exhibition of school
+and industrial work during the forenoon, and parade of cadets in the
+afternoon. And, in order to give the pupils a little uplift of
+enthusiasm in a good cause, we arranged to have a Christian Endeavor
+rally of societies from five neighboring towns, and also to invite the
+members of two Sunday-schools that are bravely "lifting the gospel
+banner," each in a scattered community near by, where there is no
+church.
+
+The people began to arrive about half-past ten. One party came in a
+large farm wagon made gay with flags.
+
+We hastened to take them about. In the blacksmith shop, two young men
+who had been in school only a year, were making some steel nut-crackers.
+A table covered with hooks, bolts, chains, towels, ice-picks, etc.,
+represented the work done during the year. In the printing office, the
+boys were turning the press, and printing our Indian paper. The
+carpenter-shop exhibit contained some neat boxes, tables, and cabinets,
+and here some small boys were at work making joints. In the cooking
+school, the girls were making biscuits, coffee, and corn-bread, while
+the table was covered with nice loaves of bread, cake, rolls, and
+cookies, made the day before. Here, also, the girls' sewing was
+displayed. There was a neat set of doll's clothing, a doll's mattress,
+pillows, sheets, and pillow-cases, a number of boys' shirts ready for
+use in the school, beside other clothing for the girls.
+
+The primary schoolroom contained clay animals, weaving and sewing done
+by the kindergarten class, and some neat language and number work by the
+older pupils. The other schoolrooms also had illustrated language work,
+examination papers, maps on paper and in sand, and a collection of
+botanical specimens.
+
+About seventy-five visitors came from neighboring towns. They enjoyed
+looking at the school work, and they enjoyed their lunch under the
+trees, and the marching and drilling of the boys with their wooden guns.
+
+But the best thing in the day was the meeting in the afternoon. Our
+Christian Endeavor guests, with the school and some of the agency people
+and neighboring Indians, filled the chapel full. Several of the
+societies had pretty banners, and it was inspiring to see them come
+marching in. The meeting was just a warm-hearted Christian Endeavor
+meeting. Each society responded by a verse of Scripture recited in
+concert, or a song, or by the words of some member chosen to represent
+them. There was also time for volunteer prayers and testimonies, and a
+number of songs. We were all glad to be there--glad to belong to a great
+army of Christian workers--and we believe our boys and girls will not
+forget it, but that the thoughts of that hour will help to make them
+strong.
+
+After these guests went home, there yet remained the principal's
+reception in the evening, where the school gathered with our Agency and
+Indian friends, to talk a little while and say goodbye. There was one
+delightful little surprise when Dr. Riggs called up thirteen of the
+Indian girls and gave to each, as a reward for faithful, successful work
+in bread-making, a copy of a cook-book to take home with her. The pupils
+enjoyed all these last days, but especially the Christian Endeavor
+rally, and we shall remember this year's close as our Christian Endeavor
+commencement.

+set forth in the General Terms of Use part of this license, apply to
+copying and distributing Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works to

+Gutenberg is a registered trademark, and may not be used if you
+charge for the eBooks, unless you receive specific permission.  If you

+
+THE FULL PROJECT GUTENBERG LICENSE
+PLEASE READ THIS BEFORE YOU DISTRIBUTE OR USE THIS WORK
+
+To protect the Project Gutenberg-tm mission of promoting the free
+distribution of electronic works, by using or distributing this work
+(or any other work associated in any way with the phrase "Project
+Gutenberg"), you agree to comply with all the terms of the Full Project
+Gutenberg-tm License (available with this file or online at
+https://gutenberg.org/license).
+
+
+Section 1.  General Terms of Use and Redistributing Project Gutenberg-tm
+electronic works
+
+1.A.  By reading or using any part of this Project Gutenberg-tm
+electronic work, you indicate that you have read, understand, agree to
+and accept all the terms of this license and intellectual property
+(trademark/copyright) agreement.  If you do not agree to abide by all
+the terms of this agreement, you must cease using and return or destroy
+all copies of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works in your possession.
+If you paid a fee for obtaining a copy of or access to a Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic work and you do not agree to be bound by the
+terms of this agreement, you may obtain a refund from the person or
+entity to whom you paid the fee as set forth in paragraph 1.E.8.
+
+1.B.  "Project Gutenberg" is a registered trademark.  It may only be
+used on or associated in any way with an electronic work by people who
+agree to be bound by the terms of this agreement.  There are a few
+things that you can do with most Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works
+even without complying with the full terms of this agreement.  See
+paragraph 1.C below.  There are a lot of things you can do with Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic works if you follow the terms of this agreement
+and help preserve free future access to Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.  See paragraph 1.E below.
+
+1.C.  The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation ("the Foundation"
+or PGLAF), owns a compilation copyright in the collection of Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic works.  Nearly all the individual works in the
+collection are in the public domain in the United States.  If an
+individual work is in the public domain in the United States and you are
+located in the United States, we do not claim a right to prevent you from
+copying, distributing, performing, displaying or creating derivative
+works based on the work as long as all references to Project Gutenberg
+are removed.  Of course, we hope that you will support the Project
+Gutenberg-tm mission of promoting free access to electronic works by
+freely sharing Project Gutenberg-tm works in compliance with the terms of
+this agreement for keeping the Project Gutenberg-tm name associated with
+the work.  You can easily comply with the terms of this agreement by
+keeping this work in the same format with its attached full Project
+Gutenberg-tm License when you share it without charge with others.
+
+1.D.  The copyright laws of the place where you are located also govern
+what you can do with this work.  Copyright laws in most countries are in
+a constant state of change.  If you are outside the United States, check
+the laws of your country in addition to the terms of this agreement
+before downloading, copying, displaying, performing, distributing or
+creating derivative works based on this work or any other Project
+Gutenberg-tm work.  The Foundation makes no representations concerning
+the copyright status of any work in any country outside the United
+States.
+
+1.E.  Unless you have removed all references to Project Gutenberg:
+
+1.E.1.  The following sentence, with active links to, or other immediate
+access to, the full Project Gutenberg-tm License must appear prominently
+whenever any copy of a Project Gutenberg-tm work (any work on which the
+phrase "Project Gutenberg" appears, or with which the phrase "Project
+Gutenberg" is associated) is accessed, displayed, performed, viewed,
+copied or distributed:
+
+This eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere at no cost and with
+almost no restrictions whatsoever.  You may copy it, give it away or
+re-use it under the terms of the Project Gutenberg License included
+with this eBook or online at www.gutenberg.org
+
+1.E.2.  If an individual Project Gutenberg-tm electronic work is derived
+from the public domain (does not contain a notice indicating that it is
+posted with permission of the copyright holder), the work can be copied
+and distributed to anyone in the United States without paying any fees
+or charges.  If you are redistributing or providing access to a work
+with the phrase "Project Gutenberg" associated with or appearing on the
+work, you must comply either with the requirements of paragraphs 1.E.1
+through 1.E.7 or obtain permission for the use of the work and the
+Project Gutenberg-tm trademark as set forth in paragraphs 1.E.8 or
+1.E.9.
+
+1.E.3.  If an individual Project Gutenberg-tm electronic work is posted
+with the permission of the copyright holder, your use and distribution
+must comply with both paragraphs 1.E.1 through 1.E.7 and any additional
+terms imposed by the copyright holder.  Additional terms will be linked
+to the Project Gutenberg-tm License for all works posted with the
+permission of the copyright holder found at the beginning of this work.
+
+1.E.4.  Do not unlink or detach or remove the full Project Gutenberg-tm
+License terms from this work, or any files containing a part of this
+work or any other work associated with Project Gutenberg-tm.
+
+1.E.5.  Do not copy, display, perform, distribute or redistribute this
+electronic work, or any part of this electronic work, without
+prominently displaying the sentence set forth in paragraph 1.E.1 with
+active links or immediate access to the full terms of the Project
+Gutenberg-tm License.
+
+1.E.6.  You may convert to and distribute this work in any binary,
+compressed, marked up, nonproprietary or proprietary form, including any
+word processing or hypertext form.  However, if you provide access to or
+distribute copies of a Project Gutenberg-tm work in a format other than
+"Plain Vanilla ASCII" or other format used in the official version
+posted on the official Project Gutenberg-tm web site (www.gutenberg.org),
+you must, at no additional cost, fee or expense to the user, provide a
+copy, a means of exporting a copy, or a means of obtaining a copy upon
+request, of the work in its original "Plain Vanilla ASCII" or other
+form.  Any alternate format must include the full Project Gutenberg-tm
+License as specified in paragraph 1.E.1.
+
+1.E.7.  Do not charge a fee for access to, viewing, displaying,
+performing, copying or distributing any Project Gutenberg-tm works
+unless you comply with paragraph 1.E.8 or 1.E.9.
+
+1.E.8.  You may charge a reasonable fee for copies of or providing
+access to or distributing Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works provided
+that
+
+- You pay a royalty fee of 20% of the gross profits you derive from
+     the use of Project Gutenberg-tm works calculated using the method
+     you already use to calculate your applicable taxes.  The fee is
+     owed to the owner of the Project Gutenberg-tm trademark, but he
+     has agreed to donate royalties under this paragraph to the
+     Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation.  Royalty payments
+     must be paid within 60 days following each date on which you
+     prepare (or are legally required to prepare) your periodic tax
+     returns.  Royalty payments should be clearly marked as such and
+     sent to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation at the
+     address specified in Section 4, "Information about donations to
+     the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation."
+
+- You provide a full refund of any money paid by a user who notifies
+     you in writing (or by e-mail) within 30 days of receipt that s/he
+     does not agree to the terms of the full Project Gutenberg-tm
+     License.  You must require such a user to return or
+     destroy all copies of the works possessed in a physical medium
+     and discontinue all use of and all access to other copies of
+     Project Gutenberg-tm works.
+
+- You provide, in accordance with paragraph 1.F.3, a full refund of any
+     money paid for a work or a replacement copy, if a defect in the
+     electronic work is discovered and reported to you within 90 days
+     of receipt of the work.
+
+- You comply with all other terms of this agreement for free
+     distribution of Project Gutenberg-tm works.
+
+1.E.9.  If you wish to charge a fee or distribute a Project Gutenberg-tm
+electronic work or group of works on different terms than are set
+forth in this agreement, you must obtain permission in writing from
+both the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation and Michael
+Hart, the owner of the Project Gutenberg-tm trademark.  Contact the
+Foundation as set forth in Section 3 below.
+
+1.F.
+
+1.F.1.  Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend considerable
+effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe and proofread
+public domain works in creating the Project Gutenberg-tm
+collection.  Despite these efforts, Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works, and the medium on which they may be stored, may contain
+"Defects," such as, but not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate or
+corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other intellectual
+property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or other medium, a
+computer virus, or computer codes that damage or cannot be read by
+your equipment.
+
+1.F.2.  LIMITED WARRANTY, DISCLAIMER OF DAMAGES - Except for the "Right
+of Replacement or Refund" described in paragraph 1.F.3, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, the owner of the Project
+Gutenberg-tm trademark, and any other party distributing a Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic work under this agreement, disclaim all
+liability to you for damages, costs and expenses, including legal
+fees.  YOU AGREE THAT YOU HAVE NO REMEDIES FOR NEGLIGENCE, STRICT
+LIABILITY, BREACH OF WARRANTY OR BREACH OF CONTRACT EXCEPT THOSE
+PROVIDED IN PARAGRAPH F3.  YOU AGREE THAT THE FOUNDATION, THE
+TRADEMARK OWNER, AND ANY DISTRIBUTOR UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WILL NOT BE
+LIABLE TO YOU FOR ACTUAL, DIRECT, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR
+INCIDENTAL DAMAGES EVEN IF YOU GIVE NOTICE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH
+DAMAGE.
+
+1.F.3.  LIMITED RIGHT OF REPLACEMENT OR REFUND - If you discover a
+defect in this electronic work within 90 days of receiving it, you can
+receive a refund of the money (if any) you paid for it by sending a
+written explanation to the person you received the work from.  If you
+received the work on a physical medium, you must return the medium with
+your written explanation.  The person or entity that provided you with
+the defective work may elect to provide a replacement copy in lieu of a
+refund.  If you received the work electronically, the person or entity
+providing it to you may choose to give you a second opportunity to
+receive the work electronically in lieu of a refund.  If the second copy
+is also defective, you may demand a refund in writing without further
+opportunities to fix the problem.
+
+1.F.4.  Except for the limited right of replacement or refund set forth
+in paragraph 1.F.3, this work is provided to you 'AS-IS' WITH NO OTHER
+WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO
+WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTIBILITY OR FITNESS FOR ANY PURPOSE.
+
+1.F.5.  Some states do not allow disclaimers of certain implied
+warranties or the exclusion or limitation of certain types of damages.
+If any disclaimer or limitation set forth in this agreement violates the
+law of the state applicable to this agreement, the agreement shall be
+interpreted to make the maximum disclaimer or limitation permitted by
+the applicable state law.  The invalidity or unenforceability of any
+provision of this agreement shall not void the remaining provisions.
+
+1.F.6.  INDEMNITY - You agree to indemnify and hold the Foundation, the
+trademark owner, any agent or employee of the Foundation, anyone
+providing copies of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works in accordance
+with this agreement, and any volunteers associated with the production,
+promotion and distribution of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works,
+harmless from all liability, costs and expenses, including legal fees,
+that arise directly or indirectly from any of the following which you do
+or cause to occur: (a) distribution of this or any Project Gutenberg-tm
+work, (b) alteration, modification, or additions or deletions to any
+Project Gutenberg-tm work, and (c) any Defect you cause.
+
+
+Section  2.  Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
+electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers
+including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers.  It exists
+because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
+people in all walks of life.
+
+Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
+assistance they need, is critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
+goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
+remain freely available for generations to come.  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 the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive
+Foundation
+
+The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non profit
+501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the
+state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal
+Revenue Service.  The Foundation's EIN or federal tax identification
+number is 64-6221541.  Its 501(c)(3) letter is posted at
+https://pglaf.org/fundraising.  Contributions to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation are tax deductible to the full extent
+permitted by U.S. federal laws and your state's laws.
+
+The Foundation's principal office is located at 4557 Melan Dr. S.
+Fairbanks, AK, 99712., but its volunteers and employees are scattered
+throughout numerous locations.  Its business office is located at
+809 North 1500 West, Salt Lake City, UT 84116, (801) 596-1887, email
+business@pglaf.org.  Email contact links and up to date contact
+information can be found at the Foundation's web site and official
+page at https://pglaf.org
+
+For additional contact information:

+     gbnewby@pglaf.org
+
+
+Section 4.  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
