certain date the Contest closes.
The five people receiving the
highest number of votes are given
a Tour to the Fair and return.
Now, of course. that's only five
people, but multiply five people by

you will have a crowd a little

northwestern part of the city of Bir-
mingham, surrounded by the best colorea
residential section of the city, looking
westward over the vast work shop. Of
Ensley and Possum valley stretching ou.
before it, stands 'Tuggle institute,' al
industrial and normal school for negroes
The group of buildings consisting of the
main school building of three stories,
the boys donlitory. Charlotte hail. with
its seating capacity of 2000, and the girls
dormitory dominate the landscape, trim
and white amidst the green of the trees
The institute is unique in that it was
founded by negroes. for the education of
negro children and that it has been built
up by the negroes of Alabama from
small contributions. 1t stands today a
monument to the ability, untring energy
and wise counsel of Carrie A. Tuggle, the
founder and president of the school, and
her co-worlxers.
In October, 1902, small coterie of earn
est negro women met on Enon Ridge, at
the residence of Carrie A. Tuggle, and
agreed together to organize the Enon
Ridge school. They were impressed at
the time with the crying need of home
and place for training of the many help
less orphan children of their race. Later
on in November the first meeting OF the

tained that a fund of $4S had been col

that animated this meeting that it was
opened with the song, "A Charge to Keep

the institution has grown to it's present
proportions. 1t now has in buildings,

on several occasions such parents have
sought to remove the children by legal
proceedings, but in every instance the in
stitute has convinced the court that the
best interest of the child demanded that
1t remain at the school, by showing the
excellent care and training that the child
receives. An orchestra of % instruments
is maintained among the pupils, the band
beng composed about equally of bows
and girls who make fine music Special
attention is given to voice culture hence
some of the finest voices in the state can
be found among the pupils, the negro
being especially proficient in music. While
this is negro school built and owned
by the negro, with negro faculty and
pupils, 1t owes great deal to the aid
ana encouragement freely given by many
OF the noble white men and women of
Birmingham. Judge n. b. Feagin Mrs.

Reed, Mr.. j. A. Matthews, Dr. John L.
Parker and Mrs. r. H. Pearson have
been special friends of the school and
have by their aid, encouragement and
advice helped the management to achieve
success in training the negro children to
make Industrious, moral and upright cit
izens.
In every important step for the up
building of the institute Judge Feagin
and Mrs. Orr have been especially active
The institute has had its dark hours of
trial and but, for these friends at such
times 1t might have succumbed. Most
all these good white friends of the school
have year after year attended the COM
mencement exercises and have helped to
make them a success and have noted
with words of encouragement the prog
ress of the pupils, so much of which was
due to their kindly interest and advice.

The institute has no endowment. 1t is

auxiliary of the knights of Pythias) and
the Rising sons and Daughters of Pro-

having an aggregate membership of over
10000 in Alabama. The subordinate lodges
and members of these societies make
stated monthly payments to maintain the
school. the orphan children of the MEM
bers having special privileges in the
school. Under the articles of associa-
ton and its charter any colored frater-
nal benefit society in the state can Sc
cure these privileges for its orphan chill
dren by making monthly payments pro-
vided by the laws of the school.
Orphan children of deceased members
are placed in the school and trained in
such industrial work as dressmaking do
mestic service, the trades, music and art
Every county in Alabama contributes
pupils to this school, who are taught TO
sew, cook, nurse, wash and iron, and to
be carpenters and painters and trained
domestics, and graduated in the ordinary
English branches. The average attend
ance at the school is 250. By recent addi-
tions accommodations for 800 or more are
provided. There are usually about so of
these children dependent entirely upon
charity and nothing is contributed to the
school for them, but they are fed and
clothed by the institute and have no other
home.

unfit parents are placed in the institu-
ton by friends or relatives who wish to
relieve them from such condition, and

The American Missionary society of

assists in operating 81 southern schools
for the education of negroes, norably
among which are Fisk university at
Nashville, Talladega college in Ala

worth about $1,7OO,OO0, with annual
expenses approximately 100000 The
annual enrolment is about 1900 and
439 teachers are employed The major
portion of these schools are mana ged

often calling in negroes to assist who
have received their training at the
hands of one or more of these societies.
Help of White Race
1t is greatly to the credit of the
southern white man that he has helped
the negro more than he has hindered
him. 1t is greatly to the credit of the
negro that he has accepted that help
graciously and gratefully. and has gone
on to work to help himself The re-
markable story of the progress of the
negro in education and religion cannot
but impress the world with its magni-
tude. True. he has been given all
kinds of assistance, by church organi-
cations, by missionary societies, by
'princely philanthropists. who have been
imbued with either the spirit of help
ing the unfortunate or of easing their
own conscience. There is no way to
ton to do so; but over and above all
is the fact that the negro has helped
himself Immensely. Has helped himself
Immensely, first by placing himself in
the attitude to be helped, and by en-
coura ging further help by the most
Napoleonic efforts to help himself.
Negro education and religion go hand
In hand. There is not a negro school
IN the country worth the name that
is not dominated by strong religious
influences. Practically all of the negro
church organizations maintain scores
of schools, large and small, for the
education of their people and even the
secular schools are run by Christian
men and women. and dominated by the
highest Christian principles.
These schools have sought the cul-
ture OF the heart along with the mind
and hand A steady stream of devout
young men and women have been sent
forth from them, impressed with the
duty OF serving their own people and
imbued with the highest ideas for thair
accomplishment. The best expectations
OF the strongest friend OF the, negro
have been realized in many of these
young people.
Influence of Education
1t Is largely to these schools that the
negro owes his remarkable rise. TAX
ing the commonsense view and looking
for the greatest manifestation of pro-
gress in persons-not things-these
forces have rendered their supremest
service in the production of efficient,
consecrated men and women. This has
been the aim of all the efforts for
negro uplift. The aim has been worth

gree.
Without complaining at all. it Is
worth while TO point to the fact that

public schools of the south Is nearer
no 4aucation than anything else AT
the best the negro child, If dependent
at all. upon the public schools. would
get only "fragmentary" education.
The fairest and most equitable con-
sideration of the progress the negro
has made in education would not be
one of tho large amount of work he
has done, but how little opportunity,
how small the funds he has had to do
with. All the munificence of the
princely philanthropists cannot take
the place of the big gap in elementary
schools made by the failure of the state
to provide for negro education.
Whether this failure comes from dis
inclination or disability, the fact re-
mains that it exists and that the ne
gro has met the situation as best he
could without permitting the condition
at all to make sour his disposition.
What does the record of negro achieve
ment in this regard show?

Ten southern institutions for the
education of the negro are owned and
