TUsKEGEE, Its People, Their Ideals
and Achievements. Edited by Booker
T Washington. Illustrated. New
York: d. Appleton & Co.
The literature of the Tuskegee movement
IS growing into large proportions Nearly
every season brings one or more books
about the Alabama establishment and It's
founder, and yet, IN the minds of those who
have put forth this work, there is de-
rnand for another, prepared for the purpose
of telling in definite terms just what the
graduates of the institution are doing with
their education. Consequently the materials
for this book have been gathered together,
consisting of chapters by Mr.. Washington,
whose editorial function has confessedly
been confined to the approval of the excel
lent work done by his secretary Mr.. EN-
NETT ]. Scott: by members of the Tuskegee
STAFF and by graduates representing all
phases of the life at and after Tuskegee
These last -named chapters constitute the
bulk of the book in point of volume and
interest. They are human documents, brief
autobiographies which pay high tribute to
the institution" and its influence. 1t is diff
cult 10 read one of these testimonials with
out feeling that at Tuskegee is in motion
great force that must surely prove a
vital factor In the solution of the south s
most difficult problem. Most of these grad
yates went to Tuskegee without means
after struggles that defy description in
words, involving starvation, lack OF cloth
ing. sickness. subterfuge. stealth, Iona
tramps across country. The all-overcomine
desire for education pulsed through the
black belt of the south when this oppor-
tunity was opened to the colored youth
The hour and the man came together. and
In the volume in hand is told graphically
