This is the condition prevailingto a very great extent among the masses of Negroes. The demand is for capable teachers to give proper instruc-tion, and the need is for schools sufficiently equipped to givethe training necessary to make good teachers. Scotia Seminary is designed to meet this need in at leastsome measure. We cannot hope to reach the masses, but ifwe can prepare teachers who are capable, conscientious, andconsecrated; teachers anxious and ready to do good and helptheir people rather than earn large salaries and minister toself, we have no doubt as to the results. Several facts are evident, and well-confirmed by our expe-rience in the work. One is that the Negro can be educated;another, that only a genuine Christian education will save. Forty-Sixth Annual Catalog 17 him; a third, that the church has no line of missionarywork which yields larger results in proportion to the invest-ment made. The same principle, however, governs here thatgoverns in any great and important enterprise, viz.: an in-crease of invested capital means larger returns. To meet the varied demands, our work has been plannedso as to provide for three courses of study—Preparatory,Seminary, Normal and Scientific; in all of which we keepbefore our minds the same general result, viz.: A thoroughknowledge of the common English branches, as large a fundas possible of general information, and minds trained to dotheir own thinking, able to convey their thoughts to others,and possessed of sufficient confidence in their own ability torender our students who finish the course capable of assumingthe responsibilities awaiting them. 18 Scotia Seminary, Concord, N.
