THE WORK AT TuskEeEE.

Robert e. Park, of Boston, in a recent
letter to the Boston Transcript, discusses
some phases of the much talked of work
at Tuskegee which are not too often
brought to attention. Some colosed
leaders criticize Tuskegee for laying too
much stress on industrialism and not en-
couraging the negroes to enter on more
ambitious careers; but there can be no
doubt that for ninety hum
dredths of the colored people the neces-
sary step toward any ambitious career for
themselves or their descendants is greater
efficiency in humber occupations Every
high civilization in its evolution has gone
through the stage which these critics
would have the negro, If not skip, at least
put less emphasis upon. But Mr. Parks
account of the distant ramidcations of
Tuskegee influence shows, not the culti-
walton OF caste system, which some
highly educated colored men seem to fear
but general moral uplift and the crea-
ton OF many prosperous communities
where the negro is nobodys mental, but a
self-respecting and respected citizen.
Tuskegee has never discouraged the negro
doctor, lawyer, preacher or artist, but has
rightly held that a hundred prosperous in
telligent negro farmers could do more
for their race and for the country under
present conditions than a hundred negro
politicians.
Mr.. Park says that through the I'M
official but practical oversight of its
graduates by the parent institution there
are 20 Tuskegees at work in the South.
and he has given particular attention to
the results achieved by one of them in
transforming a community at Eatons-
Ville Fla. This negro village was settled
some 20 years or more ago, and Its resi-
dents were almost entirely employed on
the neighboring orange plantations; but
they lived mostly in oldtime shiftlessness,
and never dreamed of having orange
trees Of their own or doing anything
beyond living from hand to mouth A
young Tuskegee graduate went In there
In 1897. He introduced new and i'm
proved methods of planting and induced
many Of the people to get land and culti-
vate 1t on their own account AS a re-
suit the visitor found one woman who,
by intelligent methods of horticulture
had produced $50 worth of grapefruit
from one tree, and on less than an acre
of ground cleared up 5000 in year This
is not serfdom; 1t is the kind of work
that made the New England village OF
prosperous, intelligent people which lay
at the foundation of the careers Of a
long list Of illustrious men. With it goes
something more than a sense of physical
comfort. Before the school was establish
ed the average quarterly receipts of the
little village postofflce were $780, and
now they are $50.
This is just one illustration of the in
fiuence spreading in an ever widening
circle to lay a foundation for civilization
which need be no more limited than the
soaring ambition which would decry pro-
gressive growth. This is the sort of thing
which must be done everywhere for the
sake of the whites as well as the negroes,
for, with the increasing numbers of the
blacks only as they are uplifted can the
menace of an Africanized South be avert
ed and race integrity insured.

Invocation,

I called on dreams and visions to dis
close
That which is yelled from waking
thought; conjured
Eternity, as men constrain a ghost
To appear and answer
Wordsworth
Answer me, burning stars Of night!
Where is the spirit gone,
That past the reach of human sight
AS a swift breeze hath flown?
And the stars answered me-"We roll
In light and power on high;
But, of the never-dying SOUL
Ask that which cannot die"
o many-toned and chainless wind!
Thou art a wanderer free;
Tell me If thou its place canst find
Far over mount and sea?
And the wind murmured in reply
THE blue deep l have crossed
And met its barks and pillows high,
But not what thou hast lost"
Ye clouds that gorgeously repose
Around the setting sun,
Answer! have we a home for these
Whose earthly race is run?
The bright clouds answered-"We depart,
We vanish from the sky:
Ask what is deathless in thy heart,
For which we cannot die"
Speak, then, thou voice of God within,
Thou of the deep low tone!
Answer me, through life's restless din
Where is the spirit flown?
And the voice answered-"Be thou still!
Enough to know is given:
Clouds, winds and stars their part fulfil
Thine is, to trust in heaven"
felicia Hemans.
