奥克伍德黑人手艺培训学校是本会惟一一所专用于教育和培训黑人青年成为工人为他们本族的人作工的学校。这所学校自1894年春季开办，尽管那些负责学校之人的努力因缺乏适当的建筑和设施而大受阻碍，但却已经从这所学校派出了一些青年男女做着很蒙悦纳的工作。其中的三人已经被任命为牧师。缺乏必要的建筑来适当地照顾和安慰学生，安置牲畜，以及处理和储存农场的产品乃是学校和农场成功运作的严重障碍。{SpTB12 2.1}
认识到更好地装备这所学校的必要性和重要性，总会委员会4月份在华盛顿举行的春季会议上，投票授权学校管理人员采取必要步骤，通过我们的人普遍的捐款，筹集13,000美元。{SpTB12 2.2}
这笔资金将用于建造和装备一个小型疗养院，学校大楼和男生宿舍的竣工，为厨房和餐厅建造合适的建筑，一个储存绿色食物的筒仓，一栋用作罐头厂的建筑物，使农场经理能够迅速和有利地处理农场每年种植的大量西红柿和蔬菜，和一栋在冬季存放红薯的建筑物。{SpTB12 2.3}
如果能提供这些设施，将有助于管理人员和学生自助，并以各种方式使他们能够更好地工作。入学人数不断增加，至少应为100名学生提供住宿。{SpTB12 3.1}
这所学校注定会越来越成为向南方数百万有色人种传达信息的一个重要因素。{SpTB12 3.2}
这本小册子只包含了证言中关于奥克伍德学校和为这一园地的有色人种所做工作的一小部分内容，但我们相信这足以让你意识到这所学校的重要性和必要性，而且你会感到，能够愉快和慷慨地响应这一求助呼吁，不仅是一种责任，而且是一种荣幸。{SpTB12 3.3}
SpTB12-《THE OAKWOOD MANUAL TRAINING SCHOOL》
【Introductory】
The Oakwood Manual Training School for Colored is the only school in the denomination devoted exclusive to the education and training of colored young people to become workers to labor for their own race. This school has been in operation since the spring of 1894, and notwithstanding those in charge have been greatly handicapped in their efforts by the lack of proper buildings and facilities, yet there have been sent out from the school several young men and women who are doing very acceptable work. Three of this number have been ordained to the ministry. The lack of the necessary buildings for the proper care and comfort of the students, housing of stock, and the handling and storage of the products of the farm have been a serious drawback to the successful operation of the school and farm.{SpTB12 2.1}[1]
Recognizing the need and the importance of better equipping this school, the General Conference Committee, at its spring session held in Washington in the month of April, voted to authorize the managers of the school to take the necessary steps to raise, by donations from our people in general, the sum of $13,000.{SpTB12 2.2}[2]
This means will be expended for the erection and equipping of a small sanitarium, the finishing of the school building and boy’s dormitory, the erection of a proper building for a kitchen and dining-room, a silo to preserve green food for the stock, a building to be used as a cannery to Enable the farm manager to promptly and profitably handle the large crop of tomatoes and vegetables grown each year on the farm, and a building in which to keep sweet potatoes during the winter months.{SpTB12 2.3}[3]
If these facilities can be provided it will help the managers and students to help themselves, and in every way enable them to do better work. The attendance is constantly increasing, and accommodations should be provided for at least one hundred students.{SpTB12 3.1}[4]
This school is destined to become more and more an important factor in giving the message to the millions of colored people in the South.{SpTB12 3.2}[5]
This little leaflet contains only a small portion of what the testimonies have said about the Oakwood School, and the work to be done for the colored people in this field, but we trust it will be sufficient to impress upon your mind the importance and need of this school, and that you will feel it not only a duty, but a privilege to cheerfully and liberally respond to this appeal for help.{SpTB12 3.3}[6]
