Additional Details

A collection of 6 articles compiled by students at Atlanta Baptist College, as a sequel to their similar 1905 pamphlet, "The Little Helper." While numerous copies of "the Little Helper" survive, this present pamphlet appears to be completely unknown until now. The articles include "The Noble Work of our Women" and "The Power of Oratory" by James T. Saxon; "The Negro Enterprise" by Marion W. Miller; "The Open Door for the Negro in Christianizing Africa," by A.P. Shaw of Gammon Theological Seminary; "Home Duties" by Minnie Freeman, teacher at Chattanooga High School; and "The Future Hope of the Negro" by John R. Saxton. Not in OCLC, and none traced at auction.

Taped in as a rear wrapper is another unrecorded pamphlet headed "Bean Creek Colored School," concerning the July 1909 establishment of an industrial training program at that White County, GA school, signed in type with the initials of Principal I.J. Cantrell.
