Education occupies an impor~tant.pla~e in the progress~ and
development of any people, Education is as old as. civilization
itself. The emancipation of the
Negro in 1865 enlarged the program of education in the South.
- Negroes had some educational! advantages -in other sections of
| the country before the Civil
War. Ullin Whitney Leavell,
} writing on philantrophy in Negro education, summarizes previous efforts for Negro education as follows: ~The first efforts exerted in the colonies to
ward the education of the Negro were prompted ~by religious
| motive, The churchmen believed
that the slave should be educated before he could become a

give enlightenment ot the Ne
