that at public function of some 10y

siderable interest in the work we have
been attempting to do at Tuskegee to
educate the COlored people along lines that will
make them useful citizens. In talking with
her about this work | mentioned casually that
| proud of my race.
She looked at me for a moment with an expression
of mild SURPRISE and then turned to a gentleman,
who had been taking part in the conversation, and
said What does Mr. Washington mean?'
ltwas evidently entirely beyond her comprehen-
sion in spite of her friendly feeling for me and my
work that negro should find anything in his own
people to feel proud of
Fortunately the friend to whom she addressed
her question to my rescue with few phrases
He said what | meant that | was proud of the
history and traditions of my people, but he did not
say what there in the history and traditions
of the negro of which | might be proud and fear
that if the lady had pressed her question and asked
him to specify just what things he thought there
were of which negro might properly be proud,
he would have found it difficult to answer.
Up to this time | do not think that | myself had
thought over carefully the grounds upon which
a negro had right to face the world and say he
was proud of his people. l had been too busy
in the struggle to get something accomplished to
have time to speculate The joy | felt in having
obtained my own freedonlso of action and in seeing
what was being accomplished by others of my race

others would place somewhat the same value on the
achievements that | did

hard for him to understand that there is ANYTHING
in the patient endurance and capacity for suffering
that has enabled the negro race to survive trans
pOrtation to foreign continent and the hardships
of two hundred years of slavery.
But | proud of these also. | am proud of the
quaint, melancholy and beautiful save-songs in
which the sorrow and the hopes of my people once
found expression. | proud that these same
slaves proved faithful, in their hour of trial the
Southern people; that when their masters were
called from their fresides to war; they dared trust
their wives and children to these faithful servants
and that in all that period of disorder not
that trust betrayed. l proud that in all the
discouragements and sometimes even injustices
to which the colored people in this country must
still submit, they have the courage to go calmly
and patiently forward.
| only reflect that it was these same
qualities that enabled the early Christians to sur
vive the trials and prosecutions to which they

Iowa City, Sept. 23.-,The annua,

was one of the fiercest In many years

All druggists sell charcoad In one
