_The Woman’s Baptist Home Mission Society._—The Woman’s Baptist Home
Mission Society owns and maintains Mather Academy, contributes liberally
to the support of Spelman Seminary and Hartshorn College, and provides
some aid for other schools. So far as the facts could be ascertained,
the officers of the society supervise its contributions with
considerable thoroughness, and it is to be desired that their activities
in Negro education could be increased, especially in the education of
colored girls.

Church in developing schools and churches for colored people has been
very marked. The various orders of the church now own 112 schools of
which seven are rated by the Bureau of Education as large institutions.
While most of the colored schools are small they are rendering a needed
aid to the meagre public schools in the places in which they are
located. The following table is a summary of these schools:
