BOOKER wAsHINeroN,s ANSWER

rTOiii tut SiiCdSo lnleI-Ocedn.
 Nearly 4OOO students have gone out from Booker T. Washington's Industrial institute at Tuskegee, Ala. Over 15OO students have been reached by the teach CTS of the institute this year, and hum dreds of adults through the conferences held at Tuskegee. The students range in age from IA years to 20. and those who attend the conferences from 20 to 70. The question as to what the graduates of Tuskegee. and those who have attended the school, but have not taken degrees. have done for their race was answered by Booker T. Washington in his address on Sunday night.
 MT. Washington stated that in the early years of the school the large pro- portion of the graduates became teach CTS. At the present time a very large pro- portion follow the trade or industry learned at the institution, and the de- mand from whites as well as negroes for trained men to take charge of industrial ventures or various departments of agri- culture Is larger than the school can SUD- ply. In addition to this the great major ny VI ttS yooh6 ihth anu WOiicu WuO have had even years training in the in- dustrial departments of the school have found profitable employment and their influence has been of great benefit to their race, not only in the country, but in the cities
 To determine to what extent the prac- tically educated negro was becoming a factor in Southern progress. MT. Wash ington sent letters to 400 white men scet- tered throughout the South asking blunt ly if education had made the negro more useful as a citizen, more economical, more inclined to acquire wealth, and more valuable as a skilled workman. Of the 300 answers received 27O were in the affirmative and only one was an unquali- fled negative.
 The president of Tuskegee has believed from the first that the salvation of his race in the South rested largely upon its ability and willingness to secure own ership of end properly cultivate the soil To that end he has encouraged his stu dents to become land owners, or at least farmers. The fact that the colored people of Georgia paid taxes last year on $14.- 000.0c0 worth of property and owned i.075,- 600 acres of land shows that Booker T. Washington has talked to good purpose.
