"CHARACTER
Have you ever heard of "Charac
ter qoth" that in guaranteed to nev
r shrink or fade? "Character
Cloth" ta destined to become as
familiar a household word as Ivory
Soap. This last statement calls for
an cxplanatiott- The Textile Indus
trial Institute makes this cloth.
Since this Institution is not only
a Model mill but a school as weU,
an account of its beginning and its
unusual growth will be of interest to
the readers of Post-Dispatch.
Dr. D. E. Camak, the president
and founder of this school, tells of
the beginning in these words: 1
was called to preach when a very
small boy. In college, in the heart
of cotton manufacturing section, I
had every opportunity to study at
first hand the epoch making transi
tion from cotton field to cotton mill.
The deep pathetic humanity of it
gripped me, and I, as others did,
watched the migration with some
thing of tremulous fear. By doing
religious work "on the Mill Hi"" I
came to see the educational, social
and religious needs of the people;
and one day in the class room, un
der the spell of that prince of lec
turers, Dr. H. N. Snyder, I felt the
call to give my live to the solution
of "the cotton mill porblem," as he
t onncd it. This one thing I have
done ever since with the deep con
viction t!mt it was God's purpose for
mv4tfe."
Immediately after his graduation
Dr. Camak asked- for a cotton mill
charge. During the first eighteen
months in this work five young men
were called into the ministry. One
is now a missionary to . Korea, an
other is doing social service work
with foreigners in this county, an
rothcr is a Baptist preacher, and the
other two are Methodist preachers,
one of whom is the Pastor of the
Piedmont Circuit, the writer of this
article. While on this first work
the idea of a mill school where boys
and girls by working one week and
attending school the next could re
a hih school education was
v- i ' v - U
born in the very soul of Dr. Camak.
i his nlan to have this a board
ing school of the Methodist Church.
i ivaa tn have its own couon uu.
The student-operatives wages would
make himself supporting ana tne
dividends of the mill would make
the institution self supporting.
For several years Dr. Ca....... whs
not uirtf! to secure any recognition
of Bw val .a of ins plan trota the
church. After Many y.oars of sell
sacrifice on the part of this man the
Methodist Episcopal Church, South,
has accepted this school as its own
property. This school is located at
Spartanburg, South Carolina. This
school is now ten years old and has
an enrollment of about three hun
dred young men and women. These
come from six southern states from
Virginia to Texas. As has been
stated above every student is sell
supporting, making not only his
school expenses but his living as
well. The average age of the stu
dents in this' institution is twenty
two ycarsmaiiy married men anu
women being enrolled among them.
It has been demonstrated that a
grown man can make five primary
grades in school in ten months
whftv wonking every other week in
the mill. A high school can be
conducted on this half-time basis
with the student-operative making
on the average a class a year just
as other high schools do.
This school is theonly one of its
kind in the South. It has attracted
the attention of educators through
out the United States. A former
United States Commissioner f Ed
ucation, P. P. Claxton, has stated
that it was a new departure of Ed
ucation. The late Senator Tillman
of South Carolina has said that a
dollar invested in this mill meant
more than in any other school that
he knew of. As has been stated, the
flacst cotton mill in the world be
longs in fee simpl to the Methodist
Episcopal Church, South, in whose
social vision and Christian sincerity
orscanized industry has shown its
confidence by donating heavily to
ward the Model Mill.
Tho most beautiful ginghams and
shirtings are made here. They are
sold directly form the mill to the
consumer. They are woven from
the finest long staple cotton. Sam
ples of these goods will ne gladly
