ton School in Virginia, presided.
Booker T. Washington said that Tuske-
gee made hard struggle to keep itself in
touch with the masses of the negro people.
The negro conference was one very eff
fective method. The mothers meeting held
Saturday afternoon in the town of Tus-
kegee was another. The Bible training
school, which educated the negro preach
ers, keeps the school in touch with them.
The school devotes itself largely to the
common. everyday work, such as farming,
cooking. and assists the students intel
lectually.
Rev. Dr. Satterfield, president Of Scotia
Seminary, Concord, NJ c., said his school
was for girls and devoted itself to the
preparations for home life. The young
women were trained how to make beds,
set tables and cook proper food, as well
as in the knowledge of books.

tablished in the country districts of Ala

their efforts to improve the condition of
their people. In one of them, at Mt. Meigs
it was shown that the colored people them
selves had contributed nearly $1,000 within
eight years An account of the remarkable
work done by the school at Calhoun, Ala,

Then followed discussions of how the
