Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from First Annual Report of the Educational Commission for Freedmen: With Extracts From Letters of Teachers and Superintendents In this, our First Report, it is proper to give a sketch of the history of our Commission. The name hardly indicates the whole ground over which our operations have been extended. At the outset it was supposed that the most we should be called upon or allowed to do, would be to send a few missionaries and teachers to teach the rudiments of education, and while we then saw the great importance of organizing industry and bringing order out of the chaos at Port Royal, we little thought that means could be obtained, or authority granted by the Government to assume the entire charge of the agriculture, education, and to a certain extent, the religious teaching of the freedmen of Port Royal; but such has been the result, and we have the satisfactory statement from General Saxton, that the fixed population within our lines upon the Sea Islands, is now a self-sustaining and industrious community. The first regular meeting for the formation of this Society was held at the house of the Rev. J. M. Manning, on Tuesday, Feb. 4th, 1862, in pursuance of the following notice, an informal meeting having been held a few days previous, at which a committee was appointed. Boston, February 1, 1862. The undersigned were appointed a committee to bring to your notice a letter recently received in this city from E. L. Pierce, Esq., Agent of the United States Government for the "Contrabands" at Port Royal. In that letter the writer urges the importance of immediately sending out teachers for the eight thousand unfortunate human beings now within the lines of our army in South Carolina. You are earnestly invited to attend, with any friend who may be interested, a meeting for the consideration of the subject, to be held at the Rev. Mr. Manning´s house, 9 Boylston Place, Feb. 4th, at 4 o´clock, P.M. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
