Il am genuinely concerned to hear
that Fisk university is in real need
of assistance The General Educatin
Board has heartily endorsed Fisk, and
as l am informed, will do all it can
in helping lift the burden of debts
and improving the property. It's pre-
posal is to give $4,000, provided $780,
900 is raised, 100000 Of which is for
endowment. OF this nearly $1S5,000
remains to be raised.
II must earnestly commend your
work. You do not need to be told
how alphabetically | favor industrial
education for the colored man, no
less than for the white man; but
cordially agree with Booker Washing

Is eminently undesirable that the
negro should have only a chance to
get technical education in industry
and agriculture. and agriculture. With

Fisk has behind it a long record OF

the standpoint OF the colored man, but
from the standpoint of the good citi-

day. The largest class hut one in

Rev. Charles Edward Stowe. son OF
Harriet Beecher Stowe, made the
commencement address, ami read let
tiers from President Taft and Col
Theodore Roosevelt.
Mr.. Stowe said in part; lowing to
the exceeding difficulty, delicacy and
intriaacy OF the race problem in TIE
United States, ii is essential that
those young people of the cclored
race who are being trained for sers-
ice among their own people as min.
listers, teachers, lawyers and doctors
have the very best possible training
and the broadcast outlook to give them
the efficiency which the task before
them urgently demands.
In conclusion Hr Stowe read tie
following letters from President Taft

Il am not one Of those who be
lieye that it is well to educate the
mass of negroes with academic or uni

am firmly convinced that the hope
of the negro is in his industrial edu'

in teaching him to be better farm
er, a better carpenter a better ma
chinsts. and a better blacksmith
than he is now; and to make more
blacksmiths and more good farmers
than there now are among tnt
negroes.
But, have studied the matter
considerably, and have also become
convinced that it is necessary tc
have a few hiSh-class negro univerr
stiles for those who are to be the
the leaders of the race and who are
