Description
Excerpt from Education for Life: The Story of Hampton Institute, Told in Connection With the Fiftieth, Anniversary of the Foundation of the School
Hampton Institute may be studied as a well-organized school for industrial training, or as am evidence of the Negro's capacity for education, or as a contribution to the economic welfare of the Southern States; and in all these aspects it has important lessons to teach. Yet, before approaching these contributions to economic and educational progress, it must be pointed out that none of these external or statistical results represents the essential significance of Hampton, or gives it the place which it has attained in the affection of its friends, and which it is likely to hold in the social history of the United States. This permanent distinction, which it is the chief purpose of this volume to describe, is the con sequence of three characteristics, whose concurrent ac tion in institutional life is rare, if not unique.
