Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Tuskegee Normal and Industrial School, for Training Colored Teachers, at Tuskegee, Alabama: Its Story and Its Songs Fourteen years ago, in 1870, it is said, Northern teachers in the South for the purpose of teaching colored schools, were frightened away by the whites from the town of Tuskegee, Alabama. Four years ago, the member of the Alabama Legislature from Tuskegee, a prominent democrat and present Speaker of the House, offered a bill which was passed by the General Assembly, appropriating 82000 annually to pay the salaries of teachers in a Normal School to be located at Tuskegee for the training of colored teachers. The Act of Assembly being approved in February, 1881, the State Superintendent of Education in Alabama wrote to Gen. S. C. Armstrong, Principal of the Hampton Normal and Agricultural Institute, Virginia, requesting him to nominate a fit person for Principal of the new school. He recommended Mr. Booker T. Washington of West Virginia, a graduate of Hampton Institute, class of ´75, who, after two years´ teaching of his people in his own state, had been put in charge of its Indian boys and had shown abilities of a very high order for such a position. Mr. Washington was appointed and at once entered upon his work. Arriving on the ground, he found no well appointed school-house ready for him or any prospect of one. The State appropriated money only to pay the salaries of the principal and teachers, nothing for school-building, or outfit of furniture, books and apparatus, or current expenses. For all these the colored people themselves were to provide, if they would take advantage of the State´s assistance. One week remained to prepare for the opening of the Normal School. The new Principal utilized it in surveying the field to see what need and encouragement for one existed. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
