director of the A. M. E. church bu
reau of information and publicity
so rthe following illuminating record
of that church in the cause of edu
cation.

SELF HELP IN RELIGIOUS
EDUCATION
By R. R. Wright, Jr., Ph.D
Booker T. Washington laid great
stress upon self help in his educa
tional propaganda. No race can
raise another. To reach the goal in
his excellence, every one must helf
itself upward. As with an individual
so with a race. The Negro race is
no exception. Its biggest strides
have been those made by its own
help. Philanthropy has done much;
our white friends have stood by loy
ally. But they would be disappoint
ed if after all their help the Negro
was not learning to carry his own
load.
When we look into the subject of
how the Negro has helped and is
helping himself in education, in
business, in church, in Industry, etc.,
we find a great deal of ground for
optimism as to the future. Indeed,
we hind much surprise. As far back
as 1798 a school was opened In
Philadelphia in Bethel A. M. E.
church to help Improve the intel
lectual status of the few colored
people then inhabiting that city. As
far back as 1841 a group of Negro
ministers of the African Methodist
church of Ohio, laid plans to start
"a manual labor school” for poor
colored boys. In most of the large
centers of the North of the vbgkq
centers of the north long before
the Civil War private schools were
held by colored people for their own.
Sarah Douglass taught for many
years in Philadelphia and had a
famous private school. In fact in
places where prejudice kept color
ed children out of the public schools
the colored teacher took much of
the burden of education of their
race in their own private schools.
Even in the south this was done
in spots. One of the most famous
of the Negro private school teachers
was Daniel A. Payne, afterwards
Bishop in the African Methodist
Episcopal church. He operated a
school in Charleston for many
years, and Is sand to have had some
white punils. He was expelled from
the state because of the law passed
in the early thirties prohibiting Ne
groes from teaching school. This
same Daniel A. Payne, however, was
one of.the founders of Wilberforce
unlverflty In 1858, and when the
white people had abandoned the.
work. he. ss he said, without a dol
lar but onlv on faith, contract'* to
purchase the Wilberforce property
•'in the name of the Negro race
and the A. M. E. church.” This to
day is the oldest Institution of the
New World owned and operated by
Negroes. It has a plant worth more
than a million dollars: has shout »
thousand students, and stands sec
ond among all the colleges of the
country in number of students and
th» value of Its equipment.

glous Improvement. All over the
country. Baptists, Methodists and
others have vied with their white
brethren in doing something for the
education of their race. The first in
the field was the African Methodist
church. In 1863 it took over Wilber
force university in Ohio. This was
before the Civil War was over, and
before Negroes were really liberated'
That same year it started church
organizations in Georgia and South
Carolina, and private schools sodon
sprang up. Wherever a church was
started, soon after a school was
opened. Hundreds of these schools
were scattered over
many bright young men and women
who had been educated in the north
were imported to teach these
schools. ..
