VOORHEES (COL) INDUSTRIAL SCHOOL
A Short Sketch of Work Being Done At School For Negroes
in Denmark, S. C. Remajrka ble Work of a Colored Girl For
Her Race and People—ssl Students in This School.
Denmark, S. C. —Klizabeth Evelyn
Wright, the founder of the Voorhee's
Industrial school at Denmark, S. C.,
was born in Talbotton, Ga., April
3rd, 1874. Early in her life she de
cided to work for an education and
went to Tuskegee, entering the night
school. The story' of her first
struggles has often been told. On ac
count of her frail constitution and
very poor health, she had almost be
come discouraged, and had given up
all hope of ever realizing her high
est ambition when Judge George W.
Kelly, of Rockland, Mass., hearing of
her perseverance, came to her aid
financially and she entered the day
school. Judge Kelly paid her bills
for the remainder of her time at
Tuskegee and has never had cause
to regret helping to educate this col
ored girl.
She was graduated in 1894, as a
trained nui'se and came to South Car
olina. She founded the school at Den
mark, April 14th, 1897 with fourteen
students and two teachers. fe*he was
without friends or money. Hut few
even of the negroes encouraged her.
The first purchase was twenty acres
of land with an old plantation house
upon it.. A little over eight years
ago, the present tract of .180 acres
was purchased by Mr. Halph Voor
hees, of New Jersey. The school
was named for him and incorporated
by special act of legislature of South
Carolina.
How the School Started
The manner in which the founder
of this institution became acquaint
ed with Mr. Voorhees is most inter
esting.
Alter teaching - throbgh the school
term in Denmark she went north one
summer to endeavor to interest some
of the northern people in her work.
While there she was compelled to
take a position in a hotel in the
Oatsklll mountains, where she clean
ed up thirty-five rooms a day for $25
a month and hoard. During her
spare time she did all she could to
raise money for her school. One day
when she went to call on Mr. Vonr
hees she was informed that he was
desperately HI from an attack of
acute indigestion and could not see
her. She announced that site was a
(rained nurse,, and being admitted to
his bedside was enabled to afford
him great relief before the arrival
of a ,]hysiclan. Krom that time* Mr.
Voorhees always took a great inter
est. in her work.
On the second day of June, 1900,
she was married to Martin D. Men
afee, who is now in charge of the
school.
In the latter part of 1900 she was
taken ill and although she. had the
very best of medical attention, both
You Should
Enjoy Your Meals
One of the Moat Important Questions
to Consider in the Search for
Happiness and Health.
If your stomach can not digest your
food, what will? Where’s the relief?
The answer is in Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets, because, as all stomach trou
bles arise from indigestion and be
cause one Ingredient of Stuart's Dys
pepsia Tablets is able to thoroughly
and completely digest 3,000 grains of
food, doesn't It stand to reason that
these tablets are going to digest all
the food and whatever food you put
Into your stomach?
You Can Eat With the Appetite of a
‘ Lusty Youngster, if'You Help
Your tSonioch.
Science nowadays can digest food
without hnvlng It enter the stomach
at all. And Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab
lets are the result of this scientific
discovery. They digest and digest
thoroughly and well, anything and ev
erything you eat.
The burning question to you Is. “Are
you getting out of life all the pleasure
and the health you are entitled to?”
If not. why not ?
No mutter whether every organ and
member of your body Is In a sound
state of health and strength, If your
stomach Is In uny way disordered, you
are not going to be “yourself." You
are going to be a worried, out-of
sorts. nervous or sullen Individual,
whose actions will reflect your con
dition inside, and people will naturally
avoid you.
So. if your stomach refuses to work
or can't work, and you suffer from
eructations, bloat, brash, fermentation,
biliousness, sour stomach, heartburn.
Irritation, indigestion, or dyspepsia of
whatever form. Just take one or two
of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, and so-!
the difference. It doesn't cost you
much to prove it. Then you can cat
all you want, what you want, when
ever you want, if you use these tab
lets. and you can look the whole world
in the face with a beaming eye and
you will have a cheerful spirit, a
pleasant face, a vigorous body and a
cUar mind and memory and every
thing will look and taste delicious to
you. That's life.

THE AUGUSTA HERALD, AUGUSTA, GA.
at Augusta, and at the Battle Creek
sanitorium, where she was sent later,
she died December 14th, 1906.
Those who were intimately ac
quainted with her, speak of her as a
most wonderful woman, and surely
the work accomplished by her was
marvelous. Starting out without
money or friends or anything but a
determination to better the condition
of her face, she managed to found
this school in 1897 out of practically
nothing, and at her death in 1906 the
work had grown to a property valua
tion of $50,000 free from all debt.
Year by year, through the interest
and support of friends in various
parts of the country, the work has
continued to grow and exert an in
fluence for goitfl, until today, it has
a total valuation, including the en
dowment fund of $175,000 free of all
incumbrances. The endowment fund
now amounts to about SIOI,OOO.
Vocational Training
The object of the Voorhees Insti
tute is to provide young colored men
and women an opportunity to learn
a vocation and. to .gain a sound moral
literary and industrial training so
that when they leave the school they
may, by example and leadership,
help to change and improve the moral
and industrial condition of the com
munities in which they live.
The methods of instruction ern
ployed aim to correlate and combine
tiie academic studies and industrial
training in such a way as to empha
size the social and moral signific
ance of skilled labor, and at the same
time illustrate, in the shop and in
the field, the practical meaning of
the more abstract teaching in the
class room.
Every pupil of the institute is en
rolled in the academic department.
The student body is divided into the
day school and night school pupils.
The night school pupils attend acad
emic exercises from 0:30 to 8:40
o'clock five evenings in the week.
The day school pupils attend acad
emic exercises four days every week
from 8:45 to 12:00 and from 1:15 to
9:30 o'clock. The night school is de
signed for those young men and wo
men who earnestly desire to educate
themselves, but who are too poor to
pay the small charge made in the
day school. They are thus enabled
to spend the day employed in some
position which will afford them a
living, and to attend school at night.
Students are not admitted to the
night school' who can afford to at
tend the day school.
The day school Is Intended for
those students who are able to pay
all or the greater part of their ex
penses In cash, and the expense is
very low, amounting to about $lO per
month.
Students are taken in who do not
know their alphabet. Students in the
day school attend school four days
each week and are required to work
only six days in the month, one
school day each week, and every oth
er Saturday day school students,
however, are given the opportunity
to work out from $1.50 to $3.00 per
month on their board or even more.
Besides the academic work the
boys are Instructed In carpentry,
mechanical drawing, blacksmlthing,
wheelwrlghting, tinsmithing, sawmil
ling. printing, shoe-making, harness
making, wood-turning and plumbing
and steam-fitting, and suitable npa
ratus and equipment is contained in
the various buildings for the practice
of these trades. In the print shop,
the boys get out two monthly publi
cation*, The Southern Voice, which is
a record of work of the graduates
and former students, and the assis
tant which is devoted to the interests
of students, teachers and graduates.
The Dpartment of Agricultural In
dustrials is divided into the following
branches: Farming, truck gardening,
fruit growing, care and management
of horses and mules, dairy husband
ing, dairying, swine raising, beef pro
duction and slaughtering.
The Institution also operates a
canning plant for the double purpose
of preserving its own stock of fruit
and for teaching the industry to a'
class who remain at school during the
summer vacation for that purpose.
To the girls are taught plain sew
ing. dress making, millinery, launder
ing, mattress making, broom making,
cooking and trained nursing. Consid
erable attention is also given to
music at Voorhees. inadditlon to the
regular instruction in vocal and in
: strumental teachnique, good composl
| tion is studied. Special attention is
1 given also to those plantation melo
dies. whech represent an Interesting
and instructive contribution by Am
j erican negroes to musical art.
These melodies express better
than anything else thus far. the
spiritual life and moral struggles of
the black race in America. In this
spirit they are sung by the choir and
the student body.
The military system has been in
troduced to cultivate habits of order,
neatness and obedience. The Com
panies are officered by students who
are conmiDsioncd by the institute
commandant. *
The present enrollment is 551
students with twenty-four teachers.
There will be this year, seven grad
uates.
There has recently been completed
a new electric plant, and complete
lighting system. A great saving was
accomplished by having all the work
done by the students, the total cost
amounting to only about $8 000.
The general sentiment of all those
wh come in contact with officers
and teachers of the institute is most
friendly, and those who take the trou
ble to investigate the work being
dona there must realize that a good
deal is being accomplished toward
the uplift and betterment cf the con
j ditkn of th negro in this country.
