布克·T·华盛顿:力争上游·摘录 181

布克·T·华盛顿《力争上游》· Up from Slavery · 领导

Soon after the opening of our humble boarding department students began coming to us in still larger numbers. For weeks we not only had to contend with the difficulty of providing board, with no money, but also with that of providing sleeping accommodations. For this purpose we rented a number of cabins near the school. These cabins were in a dilapidated condition, and during the winter months the students who occupied them necessarily suffered from the cold. We charge the students eight dollars a month—all they were able to pay—for their board. This included, besides board, room, fuel, and washing. We also gave the students credit on their board bills for all the work which they did for the school which was of any value to the institution. The cost of tuition, which was fifty dollars a year for each student, we had to secure then, as now, wherever we could.

白话

简陋的寄宿部开办后,学生来得更多。连续几周,我们不仅没钱解决伙食,还要解决住宿。我们租了学校附近一些破旧小屋,冬天学生挨冻。每月收八美元食宿费,这已是他们能付的全部,包含吃住、燃料和洗衣。学生为学校做的有价值的工作,可以抵扣食宿费。学费每人每年五十美元,和现在一样,得四处筹措。这体现一种原则:让付不起全费的学生用劳动换教育,既解决经费,也培养自立。

上下文

塔斯基吉学院早期通过低收费、劳动抵费等方式解决学生食宿和学校经费问题。

今日一问

你能否设计一种方式,让资源不足的人用劳动或贡献来换取所需,而不是单纯施舍?
