1897, for burglary, and one in April. 1897. for grand larceny. and one in April, 1903. for robbery. But on going back to Tuskegee for the purpose of identifying the persons whose names were thus given, hee discovred that 1 none of them had been students at the institute. The result of the Outlook's s investigation, then, is this:
 Mir. Mcdonald thinks he knows of one old woman whose daughter is idle. but declines to give her name for fear of hurting her feelings. On this informa- l ton he bases his statement, ''I speak whereof know in saying that for one | genuine, hard-working husbandman or 1 artisan sent into the world by Wash ington's school, it affiicts this state with twenty soft-handtd negro dudes and loafers." ....-.
 Our representative. however, did not stop his investigation here. He went carefully through the catalogue of Tuskegee institute. and made note of every man and woman who had re- ceived from that institution an acadenl- ic diploma or industrial certificate, whose residence was in the city of Montgomery. He also made a note of many others who have received neither certificate nor diploma. but who have pursued their education at that insti- ute. He found that there were resi- ding in the city of Montgomery thirty eight ex-students of Tuskegee, gradu- ates and others. He personally inves- tigated the present condition of each one of these ex-students, and he has snt to us his report concerning them. From his report we take at haphazard his account of the conditions of a dozen of these ex-students. The other &C., counts are equally creditable:
