THE FUTURE OF THE NEGRO.
Booker T. Washington scored a success here with
his brief but interesting address on Tuskegee In
stitute in Alabama. Mr. Moody asked for voluntary
! offerings and $3.50 given to him. About the
same amount given for the Armenian Relief
| Fund in response to the earnest appeals OF Miss
Kukarian and Miss Leitch and 800 given last
night for the Hampton Institute.
Mr. Washington is enthusiastic over the future OF
the negro. He said to The Tribune correspondent
| to-day regarding tho institution Of which he is
! president:
The work starting fourteen years ago at Tuskegce
| with one teacher and thirty students, has
grown to the point whore we have 800 students

LAND CULTIVATED BY THE STUDENTS
We have 1.4OO of land. $50 acres of which
are under cultivation by student labor. In all we
have twenty-five industries that are In constant
operation. The annual expense Of carrying,on the
work at Tuskegee Is now but $4,000.
But what is the object of this industrial training?
In the first place. 1t teaches habits OF thrift, in
dustry and economy. 1t gives our students moral
backbone and independence. 1t teaches them the
dignity and beauty in labor; teaches them how to
make nature work for them. and this labor instead
