INDUSTRIAL FARMS FOR PORTO
RICO AND THE PHILIPPINES.

My conversation with Booker T.
Washington began with the discussion
Of the improvement Of the natives of
Porto Rico and the Philippines.
asked him whether institutes like this
would not do much TO make these
people good American citizens. He
replied;
II doubt whether any other method
can be adopted which will so soon ac-
c0mplish the desired results. There Is
only one solution Of the race problem,
and that is TO show the people how
they can support themselves, to edu-
cate their hands, as well as their heads,
to give taem mental and religious cul-
ture, and at the same time industrial
training, We must teach them first
how to make a living, make them in
dependent and show them that labor
Is both manly and profitable"
Have you had any experience with
the Cubans and Porto Ricans, Prof.
Washington / asked.

our school They do fairly well, and ]
cannot see why they should not be edu-

one Porto Rican who was quite savage
when he first came to Tuskegee. He
carried knife with him, and he had
a way Of becoming very angry, raging
about aud nourishing his knife. He
attempted to vent his rage upon one
OF our boys. whereupon the young
American took the knife from him and
gave him a good thrashing. From
that time on the Porto Rlcan changed
his methods. He learned to control

Washington, d. c., Dec, 2, 1899.
I had long chat this afternoon with
Prof. Booker 7. Washington Of Tusga-
gee, Alabama Prof. Washington Is
today the leading colored man OF the
United States, As an orator he has
taken the place that Frederick Doug
lass held for 50 many years, and at
the same time he IS doing more In a
practical way to solve the problems OF
the future Of the negro than any man
who has yet appeared. Born a slave,
raised In log cabin, getting his first
education at night school by toillng In
the mines Of West Virginia, walking
hundreds Of miles from the mountains
to the sea In order that he might enter
the school at Hampton, he is now. al
the age Of forty, at the head Of one of
the great educational institutions OF
this country, He has established and
built up an industrial school at Tuske-
gee In which there are now more than
one thousand students. coming from
twenty-three States and Territories and
also from jamaica, Cuba, Porto Rico.
Africa and England Beginning to
teach In shanty, his institute Is now
forty-two buildings, the most OF which
have been put up by the students
themselves. Its property Is valued at
OOOOO and the school farms comprise
more than mn upp.1 80 1and
In the schools colored students over
fourteen are given practical. indus
trial education. They have thorough
mental and religious training. but, at
the same time, are taught such trades
and professions as will make them self
supporting. The students pay a large
part Of their expenses In labor. Last
year they made more than one million
bricks. More than three hundred thou
sand garments We're washed in the
college laundries, and seventy COWS
were MIXED daily in the dairying divi-
sion. The students are being taught
all sorts Of trades, such as farming,
blacksmlthing. masonry, carpenterng
and carriage making. There are de-
partments Of cooking, dairylng and
drawing, plastering, plumbing and
painting, shoemaking stock raising.
tailoring and Timing, and, In fact, all
sorts OF trades which viii make them
self-supportlng. The school has done
wonders for the race in Alabama.
Branch colleges have been established.
and In the future there will probably
be similar Institutes throughout the
South.

A valued subscriber and brilliant
lady from sway east,' in renewing her
subscription to the STAR, takes occa-
sion to make the following interesting
comments upon matters relative to
Hot Springs welfare:
II was glad to see that you urge the
planting of trees on your streets and
i'll other places where they may make
attractive the walks and drives-as
we'll as the city lots more valuable.
wish could plant them by mine. but
they would need the owners care in
order to thrive. You may remember
that am the inheritor of several of
said city lots and am most anxious to
see your whole town thrive. l do hope
and expect that the sanitarium may
come to you ultimately. Also the rail
ro ID that now seems promising. Re-
member, please, that am always look
ing in the STAR for matters pertaining
to the local thrift, and indications that
the reviving prosperity is fully as
sured. am interested also in the
Womens' clubs, which seem so thrifty
among you. 1 have been member of
one for II years. Ii l were there l
would be inclined to turn two or three
of my 'sclub" articles into ''lectures'
and give them for the furtherance of
the sanitarium project"

ed, though they had been led to eX-
pect much. There were thirteen nun.
bers upon the program and everyone
excepting the first was encored most
enthusiastically. Their voices blend
beautifully in their quartette singing
while their solo singing shows depth
sweetness and perfect control of voice
and manner that is charming. The
reading by Miss Bolkcom captivated
the audience and she vas recalled the
third time. In every respect the en-
tertainment was delight and the Chi

HOT SPRINGS, SOUTH DAKOTA, FRIDAY. MARCH IL, l899
ANornEN RAILROAD TALKED OF
The Illinois Central Said to be Looking
lIillswartl.

The Illinois Central Said to he Looking
lIillswartl.
The Sioux City journal of the 18th
contains the following:
"That the Illinois Central is at work
running Il survey through Clay county,
South Dakota, with the intention of
extending it to the Black Hills, seems
pretty we'll established in the minds of
railroad people. While no surveying
for the line has been done in Iowa, the
impression obtains that the Black Hills
extension will be built from LeMars,
which is about due east from Vermil-
lion, and is the point from which the
Illinois Central starts upon its long
course through Iowa"
The same paper also contains an in
terview with E. S. Dan. .orth, one of
the publishers of the Vermillion Re
publican, who says among other things
that "the road will cross the Missouri
river and extend as nearly an airline
as possible to the Black Hills"
