HERgjFIFTYjTHREE YEARS V:;: I Hy Offering?An cc'redited Course, Brewer Is Meeting _ Needy of Greenwood . - . r'i ' " " "i' . f Very often we hear this expression j thut "Education is life" and at other . times, we hear that education Js a preparation fbr,life. It is both life for life outside of the school walls. It . , is this that Brewer Normal School is striving --to do. * : Brewer Normal School is situated . in Greenwood, South Carolina in Greeinwood County which i9 in the I heurt of the Piedmont sect-ion. The 1 students come from the city; from nrTO^r^totVTTS^anil ^iiiufiy- of them come from cities which are more dis- - ftant. In .the city of - Greenwood, Brewer holds a very unique position hand- realizing that is the duty and the~"~ | aim of each school to feieet the prob-lems andthe-meeds'of^tKcFplaceAvhereit is situated, it has played ahd is " t still playing a very definite part in ' the life of this community. Since '* ! t'he school >vas ,established here fiftythree years ago,, many changes in j conditions have taken place and with [ the changes in. general conditions, . j there lias come of necessity a dift'er: ence in the relatton of the school to j the community. > \ - ' .But at all timcs"~U hat4tr-i.ed in I every wav possible to meet. thr. nnmln ; i of the community. It is now meetling these needs in many, ways; sgnte ' ! of which I shall point out. In the first place, Brewer is meeting the needs of this particular seei tion by offering an accredited course I of study. This is significant because l it is the only accredited high school , \vi hin a radius of about sixty miles. ! Realizing that " a high . standard of -r [^education is one of om- grontcst bopos?. ? Ha^r"a rare and that oui- T>f'Tgro^ is ^ ~ I'we feel that this Is one definite step towards meeting the noedg i neople. ^ | Another witness that Brewer is , meeting the needy) of the community and of the county is the fact figures show that-about eighty-five .per cent oof the Negro deachers in Greenwood County are graduates of this school or .have had some training hura Niot ?? only is this school responsible- for ^? trainings young _ people for teach ers but the contact and training which theylreceivie- here - nvakes them perform menail tasks better and with more dignity than they otherwise would. Many times employers ask _ for Brewer graduates or those who ?? have been 'under the Brewer influ v. i ence.
