In some ways there never wonderful
a book written as Booker T. Washington's up
From Slavery" People who have not read it can
give themselves a treat. 1t has been justly called
"The New Uncle Toms Cabin" But it is more
sensational than Mrs. Stoves novel and more in
spring. 1t tells story that reads like mirac-
ulous achievement. But. OF course, there is moth
ing miraculous about it. Perhaps it is what we
call the miraculous that is always true, the Won
derful things that are accomplished every day
around US and that suggest much more in the
way Of human possibilities. Perhaps what is
our Indifference to our power, our failure to appre-
ciate what can be wrought in society for the
benefit of the human race il we will only open our
eyes and and If will only have faith, and if
I'VE will really care.

Did it come from the black blood the white
blood or from the mixture, Or was it partly or
wholly imaginary? II. c. Wells when he came to
this country some years ago. was astonished at
the prejudice against the negro that he met here,
Land all the astonished because large a
number of the negro race had generous infusion
of the blood belonging to the very people that felt
the prejudice. Surely, if there is anything in
heredty the negroes of mixed blood in this coun-
try have right to claim a generous share in the
qualities that make our Anglo-Saxon civilization
And Booker T. Washington was man that both
of the races he represented may be proud of.

There are those who say that when negroes go
up in the world they likely to become self
important and arrogant Perhaps they are. don't
know. have never seen an instance of this kind.
However, / must admit that it would represent a
very natural reaction from oppression. When
people are kept down their pent up, energies and
their desire for self-expression, once freed. are
likely to send them up with bound and to cause
too much self-expresson. Of all men l have ever
known, Booker T. Washington might have been
excused if he had betrayed vanity or coneeit or
any of the overbearng qualities that go with phe-
nomenal success. But he never did anything OF
the kind. He gave himself no airs. He was unas-
sumng,. modest. quiet and gentle, and yet wholly
free from servility He met people easily and
simply He talked in low voice. He was, TO
borrow a favorite expression of the Germans. "a
solid man." In other words he had level head
and he kept his poise.

There are negroes and friends of negroes who,
though they admired Booker Washington, and re-
joiced in what he stood for and what he was &C
complishing in the way of wea kening prejudice
people, felt that his policy was questionable. He
constantly emphasized the importance OF indus
trial education. He believed that the best interests
OF the American negro lay in kinds OF work that
were almost wholly manual. though they required
intelligence, kind of work. moreover, not includ-
ed in the work that was most highly honored and
that brought the greatest financial returns. Lead
ers like Frederick Burghardt Du Bots maintained
that this policy was limiting. Some of them feared
that it would lead 10 definitely placing the negroes
Jas a merely industrial class, giving opportuni-
sons and the arts. The difference led to the ere
ating of two factions. At this time it is impossible
to say which is right Perhaps the day will come
when historians can look back and say that Booker
Washington right in his period, that he had
the qualities OF politician worthy of being called
"a statesman. If he had made bold play for rec
ignition of the negro the equal in every respect
OF the white and entitled to every chance
that the white man enjoyed, he might not have
been so successful in securing the support that
abled him to make Tuskegce really great inst-
tuition, center not only of industrial training but
of genuine culture.
Among the negroes Booker Washington stood
out as an example of the man whose talents could
not have fully expressed themselves in pursuits
that were merely industrial. He looked like a
farmer and he would doubtless have made far
mer of exceptional ability; but he was much more,
an organizer, administrator, writer of power
and an orator who could interest and move great
audiences. He must have had Desires, to SUI
preme degree of the most valuable OF qualities
for in his peculiarly difficult situation, tact:
He was counselor of moderation, preacher OF
the selfrestraint, the patience and the courage
essential to the welfare Of the negro race. When
leader of his race was sorely needed he was ire
mendously useful. Suppose he had been the in
flamnlatory type Of leader. Even when trying to
! help, he might have done immense amount OF
mischief. He had the judgment that enabled him
to make allowance for the spirit that went with
generations of established wrong the blindness
that made justice an ideal necessarily remote.
There is no minimizing the loss sustained by
the negroes and by the world at large in the death
OF Booker Washington, though thefe are now
many negroes capable Of taking up his work \
few years ago his going would have been more in
the nature Of disaster. But those years have
counted immensely in the progress of his race. He
will always remain, however, the phenomenal lead
er, the earliest Of the great nspirers the first Of
the pioneers. Though he died comparatively
young. his work was, in sense, complete. He had
the joy Of knowing that many another institution
| for his people was rapidly developing and that
their opportunities were continually increasing.
