LETTERS TO EDITOR

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
The state is concerned with three fun
damental questions bearing ON the indus
trial education of the negro. How much
does it benefit the individual financially
thus trained? How much of return docs
the state get for the money thus expend-
ed? How much do industrial schools m
fllence the masses? In answering these
questions it is necessary to cite concrete
examples.
A careful estimate shows that since the
founding of Tuskegee institute an aver
age of two years training has been given
to more than 5000 students. The average
length of time these students have been
out of school is IA years. Their average
earnings annually is 500. The average
earnings without industrial training is
less than $500 year.
A recent canvass among the Tuskegee
students living in Atlanta, Ga, showed
that out of 120 living in that city. As owned
homes valued at from $1,000 10 5000; sever
al of that number owned real etsate and
other property valued at from $500 to Sl4 :
COO: many ofthe plasterers, carpenters and
brick masons earn from 81 to s. per day
and not one was found without a Job,
with wages ranging from s25 to 500 per
iiiphli. Allu, lou, MANY VI them nave
bank accounts.
This showing for Atlanta would prob
ably hold good with reference to the stu
dents that have gone out from the various
branches of Tuskegee institute and other
industrial schools in Alabama Georgia,
Mississippi, Louisiana, Florida and other
southern states.
How much of a return does the state
get for the money expended in the indus
trial training of the negro? Exactly in
proportion as each individual has made
good as an industrious and law abiding
citizen and In proportion as each one has
added to the wealth OF the state by his
labor and accumulations of property. A
careful estimate shows that the 5000 stu
dents from Tuskegee intistute have earned
during IA years SIS, ,2OO.Oo0. If they had
received industrial training they would
have earned probably sl2,000,000, gain of
H6,20000o. as a result of Industrial train
ing. Take -sfor example, the canning of
fruits, one of the 30 industries taught at
Tuskegee institute The report of that
department alone for 1912 shows the fol-
lowing:
