THE LEES McRAE INSTITUTE.
(Co-Educational Department.)
To the surprise and delight of many of
the friends of the Lees McRae Institute,
Mr. JL L. Mast, of Mast, Watauga County,
N .C., has made it possible for us to
open at an early date a Co-Educational
Department of this school.
Mr. Mast is one of the most successful
merchants in Watauga County and presidetit
of the Watauga Bank. He is a
9 *
consistent member of a sister denomination,
but liberal and broad minded in
church matters. For several years he
has been interested in building a high
grade Christian school near his home.
The first step was to buy from us for
$325 a building and lot that we had been
using for a school and church. To this
building he added nearly one thousand
dollars worth of improvements, which resulted
in one of the nicest school buildings
in the county. He then offered this
DrODertV to the Mpthnrfiat Ctmrnti -
school. This church, while deeply impressed
with the needs and possibilities
of the school, declined to accept it because
it is on the extreme edge of the
Conference district. Mr. Mast then proposed
to give this property, with all the
improvements, back to us free of charge
and also an option on several acre3 of
valuable land, and a five years lease on
a ten-room dwelling, for a nominal sura,
all of which amounts to a gift of about
$1,500.
With this splendid offer before us and
knowing something of the needs of such
a school in this part of the county, we
laid the worn before Rev. T. E. P. Woods
of Plum Tree, N. who, after careful
consideration, has decided to accept it
and open up the school in the early fall.
Mr. Woods has had much successful
experience, both as a teacher and as a
preacher, two years of which have been
in connection with the Boys' Department
of the Lees McRae Institute at Plum
Tree. So that we have every reason to
believe that he will prove the "right man
in the right place."
My object in writing these few facts is
to let our friends know how auspiciously
this Department of our school is opening
up and to make an earnest appeal in
its behalf for contributions. A few hundred>
dollars, or its equivalent in furniture
and household goods will be needed

In view of the magnificent gift on the
part of Mr. Mast and the self-sacrificing
spirit on the part of Mr. Woods in undertaking
this work, and the needs for such
an Institution, I hope that many who
read these lines will lend a helping hand
to this new department of our school.
For further particulars write Mr.
Woods at Mast, X. C.
