Bennett operates under the board of education of the Methodist E piscopal church and is one of two four year liberal arts colleges in the United States exclusively for Negro women Tuskegee institute: During the year the board voted $60,000 of which $25,000 is for constructing and enuipping a building to house the statte’s administrative staff in vocational agrculture, and $35. 000 for equipment of the school of agriculture. These two buildings will bring together the agricultur al 'activities related to the public schools and Negro farmers of the state and provide adequate space and equipment for satisfactory service. The additional equipment will enable Tuskegee to strengthen its advanced work in agriculture and vocational education to meet the increasing demand from Ne gro students . In the field of public education $135,000 were made available for fVe support of state agents assist ant agents for Negro rural schools. This represents a slight reduction from former annual appropriations A $1,500 sum made possible a con ference of state agents to formu late plans for national defense pro grams in Negro high and county training schools. In addition to all this, goodly sums w'ere authorized to meet the current maintenance expenses of several other colleges, to produce • films on Negro life, and to support summer work shops, seminars and conferences for Negro teachers. Also 15 grants in aid Were made varying in amounts from $300 to $7,500 and totalling $31,096 Thirty five fellowships, includ ing six renewals, were awarded and amendments to others were Inade calling for $60,213. For the year 1941 the board voted $70t 000 for fellowships. In his comments, Dr. Fosdick re ports: ' Last year it was reported that the General Education board would shortly bring to a close its work in the field of general education. The year 1940 marks the end of this program, although a few further appropriations may be made in or der to meet past obligations. ‘‘The closing of the programs in general education and child growth and development leaves in tacit the existing work of the board in education in southern states. It was around this area of inter est that the board was organized in 1902, and a consistent program, in the development of education in both white and colored institu tions has been followed for nearly 40 years- In th|e few years of life that now remain to the board it would seem probable that its fast vanishing funds would be spent on what has been perhaps its central interest.” When in NEW YORK For the Day, The Weekend or Permanentfy The HOTEL THERESA 7th Ave. at 125th St FOR EXQUISITE LIVING distinctive location ...
