Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Anniversary Addresses Encouraged by his friends, of whom President Davis father was one of the foremost, he established a series of what, for want of a more fitting name, may be called impromptu teacher-training schools, long before West Virginia had established normal schools for the training of teachers. Prom these impromptu schools went out as able and as skillful a body of teachers as West Virginia ever boasted. Many of the methods and practices taught within the three decades now of the immediate past, as those of the most modern and most progressive, were in active use in north-central West Virginia a full score of years earlier, and all were introduced by this apostle of education trained and inspired by President Kenyon and his associates of the earlier Alfred. This leaven, by the way, so permeated and so reacted upon these communities as, for nearly twenty years, at one time, to send back to Alfred from West Virginia a stream of students that steadily increased in volume until the establishment of a college in their midst as their own stemmed the tide. President Davis, as did I, began his teaching in the district schools near home. He supplemented his professional preparation for teaching by study for a time in one of the state normal schools. With his inheritance of Welsh and of Norman-English blood, and brought up in such an environment as I have cited, he came to Alfred at the opening of the academic year of 1885-86, whither I had preceded him by a year. In those days, a large number of students were nearly, if not quite, wholly dependent upon their own resources for funds with which to pay their expenses through college; and many came to Alfred without sufficient money for that purpose, but with the hope of earning something, at least, while pursuing their studies. To that class of students we both belonged, and much time that we should have been glad to spend in athletics and in the social life of the college was spent in frequent sessions of our respective committees on ways and means and in executing the plans determined upon in that way. Circumstances so decreed that I graduated in 1888 and entered the teaching profession. He remained to graduate in 1890, and then entered the Divinity School of Yale University, where he was graduated in 1893, and at once entered upon the pastorate of the First Alfred Seventh Day Baptist Church, pursuant to a call previously extended.
