LOYALTY TO FRIENDS' SCHOOL FOR NEGROES SHOVH AT SOUTHLAND Southland Institute activities again Slave reached a point -where the work of the Friends among the negroes can lest achieve satisfactory results, according to a report of the Southland committee of the board of home mis

sions of the Five Years Meeting of Friends, published in the American

Friend. Change of administration has

been consumated and the loyalty of the community to the new manage

ment has been very encouraging to all

Friends interested. The . report follows: - -

"Southland Institute has passed one

of the mo6t important turning points In its history during the last eight week3. Following the transfer of the school to the Five Years Meeting In 1920 and the official survey made in

January, 1921, by experts in negro

education called in by the board of

home missions, it became evident that

certain changes of policy in the management of the school must be made. After careful study and repeated con

ferences, these changes were agreed upon by the home mission board as

fundamental to its future best devel cpment. . " '

"Harry , a and Anna B. Wolford have been director and matron of Southland: since the summer of 1903, with the exception of one year, and

during that long period have made exceedingly valuable contributions of service to the institution. Many times of tesCTng and periods of financial

struggle have been survived by South

land Institute under their direction. Wide Influence

"They have made Southland a home for scores of Etudents who have gone

out to live better lives because of the

years spent there. They have exerted

a -wide influence in the surrounding

community. Unfortunately Harry and

Anna Wolford have not found it pts

eible to appreciate the need for cer

tain changes of policy agreed upon by

the home mission board as necessary,

and have experienced great difficulty

during the pst two years in carryinc out plans for the larger development

of the school.

The visit of a delegation to South

land, Sept. 29, to Oct. 2, as described

elsewhere In these pages, was arrang

ed by the Southland committee of the

home mission board with a final hope of adjusting difficulties which had de

layed the opening of the school, thel

efforts were unavailing. The board

was compelled to send a second delega

tion almost immediately and Harry

and Anna wolford withdrew from all

official connection with Southland on Oct. 8. Temporary closing of the

school was averted by the 10 teach

ers who volunteered in spite of great handicaps to keep it going without the

director and matron until permanent

arrangements could be made. Changes Made

"In this emergency, F. Raymond

Jenkins, newly elected principal

Southland, has been made acting di

rector, and his wife, Cecelia Jankins

has accepted the duties of acting mat

ron. By special arrangements with , the committee on Indian affairs, Lawrence E. and Amelia R. Lindley have been transferred temporarily from the Indian mission field to Southland, this being made possible by the recent closing of the Shawnee mission. Their presence has already proved exceedingly helpful to the teachers, seven of whom are newly appointed this year and mostly inexperienced In the south. "John V. Moses, last year director of agriculture at Southland, is no longer in the employ of the board, having been released from further eervice on Oct. 1. The agricultural department will be well cared for, however,- and

the boaid expects the Southland farm i3

this year to contribute more than ever, before to the support of the school. Recent gifts of equipment and livestock from northern Friends maka this possible. Loyalty Pledged "The reaction of the Southland community to this change of management has been very encouraging. Although naturally troubled at first, negroes all about the school have pledged loyalty to the new administration in daily increasing numbers. More students are enrolled than usual at this timo of the year and more coming every week. Classes are well started and splendid discipline has been -maintained , without a break. Negro members of Friends are asking for a revival of their Southland monthly meeting.

"The Southland committee wishes to

add another word of appreciation for

the splendid way In which the young Friends teaching at Southland have met this crisis and the great service they are rendering. Among them Irene Utter, a volunteer home service worker under the American Friends

service committee, receives no salary aside from expenses. Each and every

one, however, I3 making sacrifices.'
