W.A.JOYNE Remember We Have Moved 114, 116, 118 Cotton Aveni SECOND CHECK FOR $1,000 RECEIVED Prof. Reddick Accomplish ing Results for School. Having Just received the second check for $1,006 for tho Americus Colored Institute from the General Education Board, of New York, Prof. Reddick was In a happy frame of mind yesterday. This gift was made con tingent on the raising of t£e same amount by outside subscriptions, and really represents -donations to the school of $2,000. In order to get the first $1,006, Prof. Reddick raised $500 locally, but for each succeeding thousand, up to the limit of four thousand dollars, he must raise dollar for dollar with the gift from the Board. Thus far, then, he has raised $1,600 and the Board has contributed $2,000. Prof. Reddick Is going to start af ter another thousand dollars at once, ns it must be raised by tho middle of January to get the third installment from the Board. He beHeves'he can raise this additional amount Prof. Reddick points out that Am ericus gets the benefit of this money, both or what Is contributed locally and of the sums donated by the Board Thus for every dollar contributed here practically two are spent locally for materials and supplies. This he re gards os a strong argument for con tributions, Nut well as the fact that money will be used to educate his race and make them better citizens In every way. A girl's dormitory has just been completed, with eighteen rooms, and a boys’ dormitory of equal size is be< lng constructed. These two build ings will provide needed accommoda tions and will be a great thing for the work carried on.
