Were the country husking bees
On the old barn floor we'd gather,
Boys and girls and older folks,
Hearts as light as dowRy feather,
Lips all ripe with rustic Jokes.
Air Just sparkling with our laughter
As the gay hours onward sped
Until every cobwebbed rafter
In the shadows overhead
Seemed to CULVER and to ring
as hlBh-KeYed flddie string.
Now and thon the air was rIven
with a shout that d wake the dead,
Telling that the fntcs had given
Some glad cusS an ear Of rcd,
Then would come the kissing struggle
MID the husks upon the floor,
After which the girl would snuggle r
To him closer than before,
Flushing to her finger tips
From the thrill born on her lips,
How the happy picture fingers

or the way the tOil-Bcnrrcd fingers

we have before US in pamphlet form
the very interesting as well as instrtic-
tive report of Booker T. Washington,
principal Of the Tuskegee normal and
industrial institute, to the board Of
trustees. It shows that most excellent
results have been obtained in this re-
markable school, which educates the
hands as well as develops the intellect.
Professor washington, in his report,
makes many sensible observations. In
too many cases where mere literary
education alone has been given the
Negro youth, it has resulted in an ex-
aggerated estimate OF his Importance
in the world. and an increase of his
wants which his education has not tit-
ted him to supply. Nor does this apply
altogether to the colored youth of the
land. Many graduates Of the white
schools have been thrown on the world
in. an equally helpless condition to earn
their living, so the industrial features
of the Tuskegee institute may be gem
erai in their application to the practical
education of all classes.
In speaking of this feature of the in
stltution ut Tuskegee. Professor WASH
ington gives a striking example of its
Importance. He maintains that in the
present condition of the Negro, that
mere book education alone tends to
place the Negro, in too many cases, in
a weak position. For example," he
says, II have seen a Negro girl taught
by her mother to assist her in doing
laundry work at home. The same girl
has later been graduated from the pub
lie schools or some high school, where
she was not only not taught how to
perfect herself In laundry work, but
was educated out of sympathy with 1t,
so that when she had finished her edu-
cation she was not prepared to do laun-
dry work, and could find nothing else
to do that was within keeping with the
cost and character OF her education,
and we must not be surprised that she
did not fulfill expectations. What
should have been done in the case Of
the individual referred to, was to have
given, along with her academic educa-
tl6n, thorough training in the latest and
best methods Of laundrying, so that she
would have been able to put SO much
intelligence and dignity into 1t that she
could have lifted 1T above drudgery and
performed more work with less labor.
In this way this girl would have been
put into position where her services
would have been SO much in demand
that she could have laid the foundation
of home that would have enabled her
offspring to have taken a more respon-
sIble station in life"
In regard to the race problem in the
south, Professor Washington thinks
that Tuskegee methods will solve 1t In
time. On this subject he remarks with
SONS force and conviction: Il cannot
but believe. and my daily observation
and experiences confirm me in 1t, that
as we continue placing men and women
Of intelligence. religion, modesty, con-
science and skill in every community in
the south, who win prove by actual re-
suits their value to the community,
that this will constitute the solution for
many of our present political and
sociological difficulties"
