the baptism at the central Baptist
church of that city on last Sunday of
Mr. John S Prather, who is almost a

Tuskegee Ala
To the Gazette:

Thirteen years ago, on the out
skirts of the little town of Tuskegee,
in the State of Alabama, the Tus-
kegee Normal and Industrial Insti
tute had its beginning The sch oil
opened with one teacher and thirty
pupils, in an old church and two
neighboring shanties loaned for that
purpose.
Today it is the largest and most
widely known of colored institutions,
the one requiring the greatest exec
utive ability in its management ana
the largest expenditure of money.
There are over sixty instructors and
nearly one thousand students. The
property Of the institution, includ-
ing land, buildings, livestock, outfit
and apparatus, is valued at $780,
600. and is unincumbered by mort
gage. The school owns 1910 acres
of land, and thirty buildings,
used for classroom, industrial train
ing and domitory purposes.
The literary department is thor
ough and comprehensive, embracing
a regular four years course, besides
preparatory classes The industries
Taught are: carpentry, painting,
architectural classes. and mechanical
drawing. brickmaking, brick mason
ry, saw mill work, plaste, ing, wheel
wrighting, harness making, farm
ing, shnamaking. and Sc win :, milli,
merry, stockraising, dairying, oeecul
ture, blacksnithing, laundering, tail
oring. housekeeping and cooking.
Eight dollars Ter month covers
the sum total Of student expense,
and opportunity is given to work
ut, without interfering in any way
with classroom work from three to
four dollars of this amount Instruc-
ton in vocal music is free, and les
sons in instrumental music may be
had at reasonable rates. The girls
have class exercise in physical cul-
ture, and the boys dai y military
drill.
To stranger arriving on the
grounds, the general aspect of
things is more that of a busy village
than the ordinary school. There
are no drones in this hive, and what
is true of those present is true also
of those who have gore out from
this ins tuition, 1t has we'll been
said that "there are no lvafers to be
found among those who have gradu
ated from Tuskegee Her graduates
readily find employment. and the
demand for teachers fiom the school
is greater than car be supplied.
Too much credit cannot be given
Mr. Washington and his faithful )
sistants for the progress Of this i'm
portant work in the Black Belt, nor
can the colored peop'e Of the country
be too strongly urged themselves to
lend helping hand, Because we
cannot do all towards providing edu-
cational advantages for our youth,
lie no reason why we should not do
what we can Are there not among
US hundreds Of churches and other
organizations which, while heartily
endorsing the work of Tuskegee,
have never thought to aid it in any
way, though they might easily raise
fifty dollars for scholarship. Will
