report of the Tukegee Normal snd In
dustrial Ins itute. 1t is a clear and
c0mpre heusive statement of what has
been dOUe during the year by the exc
cutive forces of this matchless tnstitu
ton. 1t reviews the past, points with
modest pride to victories gained, ard
indicates the instrpmentalities neces
sary to still grander stride toward the
lofty goal set out score of years ago.
A hopeful vista is painted OF the fu.
ture, and concrete results TO the race
are cited as viz dication of the broad
principles of Industrial, moral and in
Tuskegee's claim to recognition are
founded. The story is told IN the plain
direct and positive manner which has
long been the distinctive characteristic
OF Mr.. WashingtOn's methods as an
educator, as an orator, IS writer and
as a man. No trick of rhetoric, no
flight OF fancy, no Imagary so stir the
the superficial sentiment are deemed
necessary TO add strength OF force to
the truths he would drive home TO the
hearts OF the American people. The
report is not Cnly a record Of work ac-
cOmplished. It is not only an advocate
of a sy stem of education and a demon
stratiOn Of its practical utility in solv-
ing mCOted problem IN economics.
The nineteenth annual report OF Tuske'
gee is an irresistible, unanswerable
and convincing appeal to the intelli-
gence and finer instincts Of the grand
est people on the face of the earth TO
grant simple justice and equitable op"
rem by ties bound up in mutual SYM
pathies and mutual aspirations. 1t is
without question the very best of the
many documents of this kind yet sub
mltted by Mr.. Washington to Tuske-
gees board Of trustees, and circulating G
as it does among the most potent fac
tors in our DatioDallife both white and
cOlOred, 1t is cure TO have far-reaching
influence for good to all concerned.
Time could not be bitter spent than
in going over the facts emphasized by
Mr.. Washington. He is OF the opinion
that despite untoward episodes in many
places, there is now more real, substan
tial and thoughtful interest in the Ne
gro's welfare than at any previous peri
od in our history, and that mere spas
mOdie aud sentimental feeling has been
replaced by definite spirit OF bel rfui-
ness, born Of clearer comprehension
OF his capacity and needs. The dispo-
sitiOD to exagerate our weakn esses has
led thoughtful men to inquire into ac'
tual conditions, and the result has been
TO bring out facts beneficial to our repu'
tatlOn. 1t has tended to induce philan-
thTOpists to drop the idea that we pre-
Ter TO be carried, when the truth is we
merely wish an opportunity to learn
to walk and develop by natural pro-
eesses into self-supporting and self
reliant people. The Negro race, Mr..
Washington thinks, should, like other
races, be judged by its hest types rath'
erthsn by it's worst. He believes that
the views of the Caucasian would be
less discOursging if he would in more
cases actually visit us and inspect our
home, school, business and church life

~, as a means of bread. winning the
education gained at Tuskegee. In time
the revolution of Negro economics
conditions will grow more and more
apparent and it is to be regretted that
the demand for skilled instructors Is fsl
greater than this school can supply
not only for numerous colleges and pub
lie schools In this country, but abroad,
where the fame Of the institution has
been spread by those who nave studied
lis power as solvent. Great as the re
suits up to date have been, Mr.. Wash
lngton Ia constrain. to believe that
we have just reached the threshold OF
the 'open door" to prosperity and ra-
ciaI Influence that the Negro has so
long sought with all the the ardor that

The average attendance for the school
year is shown to have been 1 O83; 32l

The total enrolment has been l, 231;
359 young women and 872 young men.
Nine tenths of the number have hSve

Guiding officers. clerks and instructors,
1OS persons are in the employ OF the

teachers, together with their families,
the total mum Der of persons constantly

Students have come to us frOpo 81 States
and territories, from Africa, Porto Rico,
Cuba, Jamaica and Barbadoes. There
are II students from Cuba alone. Dur
ing the present school year students
have been trained in 2S industries, in
addition to the religious and academic
training. The number of graduates was

The expenses of the year have been

effort Is being made to economic, with

no doubt that the entire $500 900 called

upon small gifts which carry with them
