Raleigh, Sept. 14—A school for the training of young colored women for religious and social work is to be opened here on October 1.
The school will be run in connection with St. Augustine’s School, and will be under the auspices of the Protestant Episcopal church. It is being established, it is said, in response to a general demand for trained negro women for church and community service.
The curriculum will cover two years, and will include courses in Bible, with special emphasis on the life of Christ, religious education, case work, community organization, recreation, club work, hygiene and sociology. Practical work will be given in the community and in St. Agnes Hospital and Training School. The entrance requirement is two years of junior college or its equivalent, but in case of vacancies, high school graduates may be admitted as special students.
The first building, a three-story brick structure just completed at a cost of $30,000, is known as the Bishop Tuttle Memorial House, and will accommodate part of the faculty and 20 students, besides providing a number of class rooms.
