An ECW "Special": Our Church is the first and only Church to provide such an opportunity for training

The Bishop Tuttle School for young women who are preparing to enter fields of Social Service or Religious Education has been maintained for a number of years as a special project of the National Women’s Auxiliary. Our Church is the first and only Church to provide such an opportunity for training so that this school is widely recognized as being a distinctive contribution of our Episcopal Church to the needs and development of the Negro people. Thus far however its merits have been recognized and its graduates used more largely outside of our Church than within it. There is still work to be done in securing suitable candidates from our Negro parishes and in providing them opportunities for service within the Church.
