BOOKER WASHINGTON
REPORTS ON TUSKEGEE

Booker T. Washington, principal of the
Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute,
has submitted his annual report to the
board of trustees He says:
During the past year 1,621 students have
attended the institution, $50 have come
from the state of Alabama and the re-
mainder have come from forty states
and foreign countries. This number does
not include 1874 in the training school, or
children's house, fifty-six in the night
schools of the town Of Tuskegee, twenty
five in the night school Bible classes, nor
the eleven in the afternoon cooking classes
in the town of Tuskegee. The total number
of students enrolled during the year is there
fore, 1907.
1.-THE figures mentioned above leave out
of account the thousands reached through
the media of the annual Tuskegee negro
conference, and its various local branches,
the Farmers Institute, and the women in
fiuenced by the weekly mothers meeting,
held by Mrs. Washington in the town of
Tuskegee.
Included in the item of cost in connec-
ton with extension work, may properly be
mentioned the education of the people as
promoted through the publication of two
small newspapers, neither of which is self
supporting; but close inspection shows that
these papers have great influence in helping
the masses forward to right thinking and
acting as we'll as exerting a wholesome in
fluence upon our graduates and ex-students.
The majority Of our students come from
the gulf states, with Alabama as the CEN
ter The number Of students has not in
creased much beyond the attendance of
last year. This is in keeping with the
policy not to increase, to any extent, the
number of students. but to weed them out
and improve the quality of the student
body, making the growth intensive rather
than extensive. A close examination of
the enrolment shows that the attendance
is more irregular than it should be. This
grows out Of the fact that when the eeono-
mic element enters into education the stu
dent is often tempted to leave school early
in the spring or to remain out late in the
fall, or to leave school altogether before
finishing the full course. They find that
a few months study in class room and shop
so increases their earning power that they
yield to the temptation to remain out OF
school at work. Again, the fact that SO
large proportion of students depend upon
the cotton crop for the money with which
to pay their school expenses makes 1t nee.
essary for many of them to leave school
at the beginning of the planting season not
to return until the cotton crop ~ gathered

Sunday Morning Talk
Flaw-Seeking Eyes.

In one of his noblest poems, James Rus
sell Lowell speaks of
The love that gives and takes and seeth faults
Not with faw-seeking eyes, needle points.
Did we ever examine our eyes or get
them examined with view to finding
out whether they could properly be called
"faw-seeking?" Is the main use Of these
splendid windows through which the soul
looks out upon the universe and receives
again multitudinous impressions of men
and things to discover their defects and
weaknesses? If SO. we would better hasten
to expert oculist and be operated upon.
For such a condition of the eyes is far
worse than astigmatism or an impending
cataract. To go through the world look
ing for flaws means that in short time
we shall degenerate into cynics and pes
simists. For this is by no means a flawless
universe. AS the old Quaker said to his
wife, Everybody Is queer, Betty, but thee
and me. and I sometimes think thee is"
Not everybody has his price, but almost
everybody has his falling or blemish, and
If you start out systematically and indus
tSjously to discover the weak spots you
WIN find ample material.
But would you have us blind, Mr.. Par
son. to the real facts in the situation? BY
no means. Recognize the faults when they
are fairly forced upon your attention. but
don't go around looking for them constant
then occasions will arise when you must
make special effort to discover the short
comings of system or the seamy side of
human life. Some one high in authority
might say to you, II want you to look over
the public library or the public schools
and tell just where you think improve
ments could and should be made" Or
you are going to hire helper and you
want to learn to begin with all his outs,
but even then no investigation of a system
or person is complete that stops with
the flaws. The employer who never asks
any other question about a man than
What are his outs?' Will never get any
good men to work for him.
There is one sure cure for flaw-seeking
eyes. That Is the continual effort to see
what is beautiful and praiseworthy. The
great artist. Benjamin West, was once
taking a party Of young ladies through a
famous gallery. They were at the age
when they considered 1t the mark of SUI
perior knowledge to criticise. He listened
patiently to their structures on picture
after picture. but after enduring for a
season this amateur fault-findipg he gent

In the midst of sockless savages, saturated
with cannibalism, sorcery and fetish beliefs,
the English Baptists have situated their
mighty mission at Yakusu. Geographically
the site was well chosen. for at this point
the Lindi and Congo mix their waters.
Also anthropologically the location of the
mission is TN excellent one. Here the
workers ARD in easy touch with the Lokele,
that bright, tickle. stalwart and vigorous
people whose towns are on the banks of
the Congo for fifty miles to 1sangi at the
mouth of the Lomami river. Then the
Rurumbe. stunted, weak and mentally poor,
dwell in towns which lie in the woodland.
but near to the river on the north bank.
They supply the Lokele with plantains,
palm oil. and the fruits of the forest.
On the south bank, somewhat lower. are
the Bafoma, one time known as Luvuka.
They resemble the Lokele. and are active,
adroit and enterprising. There are also the
tall Bamanga, gloomy, taciturn and skilful
in shooting the rapids. The forest tribes
are inferior to the river tribes. while be-
tween Yakusu and the Aruwini the back
blocks are but sparsely populated. Then
there are the towns of the Baknu people
between Stanley Falls and the Lower Lindi.
These energetic and industrious savages are
clearing great areas Of forest for pfanta-
tons.
X
The tribes around Yakusu have been can
nibals. Some, forsooth, Still are, but they
are epicures with dainty palates, and only
devour certain tasty individuals. Women
and children are never eaten, only adult
men. The women are too precious to eat
they are the riches, they work in the fields,
make potts. draw water, are too valuable for
food. Neither are the men considered edi-
BILE If dying of maladies or injured in acct
dents. The heads of people used for food
are rejected but the teeth are extracted for
ornaments The hands of the victims
after being soaked some days, are consid-
cred delcacy.
The Ant-Hill church was constructed by
men who were raw cannibals four years
before. 1t is a creditable building, made Of
brick, and capable of seating five hundred
savages at a time. The ant hills are there
about Of monstrous size. / climed to the
top of one twenty feet high. Three of these
hills furnished sufficient clay for the bricks
for the big church. 1t seems almost tmpos-
sble that men recently cannibals should
have done this, but 1 was there and saw
it with these two eyes.
And now there is mighty religious
awakening in all that ant hill region. In
one years time eighty schools have had to
be opened and hundreds are protesting
movement. The heroic missionaries who
are responsible for SO many canntbals quit
ting human meat feasts are constantly sub
jected to fever. Indeed my secretary al
most died there, and l myself had two at
tacks of the fever while at Yakusu And
yet the men and women who have gone

PROPOSES EXPERIMENTS
 WITH SHEEP IN ALASKA
Prof. GeOrgeSOn Believes Hardy Breeds Will Prove Profitable in
 This Territory.

Iu his annual report, Prof C. C.. Georgeson. special agent in charge of agricultural experiment stations in Alaska, urges experiments in raising hardy varieties of sheep in the terri tory. After discussing cattle raising experiments he says:
 "The introduction of hardy sheep is almost equally important, and por- ,ion of the appropriation should be used for this purpose. The blackfaced Scotch breed, and the Danish breed, which has for long periods of years been bred in Iceland, should be pur- chased if they can be procured in this country. These are among the hard fest sheep, and it is safe to say that they will do better in Alaska than any ,o far tried here.
 "I i, proposed, if the necessary money fs appropriated for this purpose, Co select from twenty-five to fifty head of sheep. either of the blackiaced Scotch breed or Iceland sheep, or both. When animals of this character are introduced they should toe bred pri- mariIy with view To develop those qualities which age of first importance to meet Naska conditions, namely, hardness and usefulness for general domestic purposes. In the view of the writer. the offspring in excess of that required for the experiment stations should be sold Co settlers in Alaska for breeding purposes. They would thus aid in stocking the territory with cat tie which the ordinary pioneer could not afford to introduce. Congress has appropriated something over S2OO,OOO for the introduction of reindeer in Alaska, measure which in itself is very commendablc and highly benefc- ial 10 the territory, but may it not be assumed that cattle and sheep would be of equal value?'

ID LEAD FIGHT ON WICKERSHAM Senator McCumber Will Take Up Burden at Coming Session
 of Congress.
NO NEW CHARGES PREPARED
Report of District Attorney hOytS Investigation Expected to
 Bolster Up Attack.
By Cable to The Daily Gateway.

Washington, D. C., Nov. % Senator McCumber of North Dakota will lead the fight at the coming session of con- gress against the confirmation nof Judge Wickersham of Alaska. He will at- tack the report of Judge Day and has already written to the president that he knows of his own knowledge that some of the charges against Wicker sham are true.
 The report of District Attorney Hoyt of the Nome district upon a second investigation of the Wicker sham charges which he made this fall is awaited with interest. McCumber believes that this report will sustain his position. No new charges will be presented but McCumber will push particularly the charges that gambling was conducted for long time in a building upon lot in Fairbanks own ed by Wickersham, and that the judge is wholly under the influence of Capt. Barnette, deciding cases in Barnette's interest regardless of merit.
