 It Is a matter of the deepest regret that I have not space to describe in detail the history and growth of these schools. The story of struggle. sacrifice and hard work connected with the establishing of some of them is more akin to romance than reality.

One of the questions that I am most frequently asked is. to what extent are Tuskegee graduates able to reproduce the work of the parent in- stitution? Just as the Tuskegee Institute Is an outgrowth of the Hampton Institute, so other smaller schools have grown out of the Tuskegee Institute in various parts of the country. There are at present sixteen schools of some size that have grown directly out the Tuske- gee Institute or have been reorgantzed by Tuskegee men and women. In all cases these schools have grown to the point where they have been chartered unoer the laws of the State.
