site overlooking all the adjacent ter
The scenery about it is not
excelled in all the South and seems
just adapted for the purpose it is used
for. The farming is done largely by the
students on a scientific plan, with
heir hundreds of mules, horses, plows,
harrows, wagons, carts and other i'm
elements. They cultivate this i'm
nense tract of land and raise and con-
sumo all their wheat, corn, vegetables,

provide for.
The dairy contains one hundred
md seventy-five milk COWS, and last
year they made 1882 pounds of but
ter. Every COW has a nam and a
5tall as clearly kept as care can make
it, the students study the COW, the
milk, the butter, as we'll as the food.
The whole analysis of the dairy is
tudied to protection and the results
are no dairy in the country can excel
it.
The students make the furniture
lsed in the buildings, such as bed
steads, dressers, washstands, chairs,
tables, book cases and mattresses, and
Nowhere have we seen schools so well
furnished as the building at Tuskegee.
The machinery, wagons, plows, bug
yies, harnesses, etc, are all manufac-
tured on the grounds.
Last year the tailor-shop turned out
over 1000 new pieces; the millinery
lap hats and other articles; the
dressmaking 1909 peices, besides 1900
pieces of plain sewing, and the mat
tress division 5,11S mattresses, 1867
brooms and baskets were manufac-
tured. Besides Tuskegee makes its
own brick and builds all of her own
buildings. Among he students are all

tects, stone masons, brick layers, car
penters, timers, plasterers, painters,
etc. They have n of the finest eltc-
| trical plants that can be found any
where. All the instruments are in
stalled, lines run and buildings wired
and lighted by her W boys; in the
foundry they mould all castings in
use.
The landscape gardener has charge
of the greenhouses and the grounds
are as artistically arranged as in ally
city in the south. The young mer
are organized in a regiment of cadets
and are drilled in the latest methods
used in the United States army. Spec
ial attention is given to gymnastics
for the young women and they have g
well arranged gymnasium fitted VI
and two large bath houses with swim
ming pools are connected with The
men and women's dormitories.
The Library Building is the gift o.
Carnegie; the architecture is colonia
and cost $4,000; it is two story and is
so by 10. An effort is being made t.
secure every pamphlet, book, news
paper, magazine and other works pub
lished by our people, so that this Ii
brary will be the center of information
regarding literature published by thu
race. The Bible training school ha
an enrolment of seventy-three thi
year and has sent out f%ifty-three grad
yates. The chapel seats over 1000 per
O and it is one Of the grandes
sights to see the auditorium filled will
young men and women. and the1
choir of over 100 voices accompanies
by the orchestra of Is pieces, all join
ing in singing anthems of prais
to our God, who has redeemed us an,
given us such a privilege to worship
him under the guidance Of Tuskegee.
The constant aim is to correlate tn

the other; hence the students go t

+ works at his trade and still to accom-
odate all, the school is operated da

for the 'Tuskegee graduates. A pos
