1 96 le 7906 C-Elfiit 6L Q ln the autumn of 1895, at the regular biannual session of the General Conference of Seventh-day Adventists, held in Battle Creek, Michigan, the unanimous decision was reached that there should be established an In- dustrial Training School in the South for the purpose of training Negro Seventh-day Adventist young people. Accordingly, a committee was selected to purchase suitable property, and they found a site about five miles from the city of Huntsville, Alabama, and purchased the 360 acre farm for the sum of 3B6,700. . The school opened November 16, 1896, with twenty students. The original sixteen were Frank Brice, George Graham, Ella Grimes, Robert Hancock, Etta Littlejolm, Mary McBee, Nannie McNeal, Charles Morford, Thomas Murphy, Lela Peck, Daisy Pollard, Grant Royston, Samuel J. Thomas, Frances Wortllington, and Harry Pollard. There were four buildings on the campus in 1896, among which was Old Mansion. The courses offered were grammar school and a special course in Religion. During the next ten years of steady progress, a new barn was built, Chapel Hall was erected for use as a boy,s dormitory and classrooms, and Sunnyside, a teacher's cottage, came into being, so that by 1905 the property was valued at 315,431 These improvement served to draw new students so that by the fall of 1905 seventy-one were enrolled.

NATELKKA E. BURRELL Education Head of Department The preparation of teachers and instructors to serve in the work of God as trainers of elementary and academy young people is the burden and pur- pose of the division of Education and Psychology. Education does not mean teaching people to know what they do not knowz, it means teaching them to behave as they do not behave, and those who serve on the staff of this department seek to instill with- in those who are the teachers of Tomorrow such fundamentals and principles as will aid them in their work of inspiring children and youth to uhehave as they do not behave.
