the Hampton institute students have
for Allen Wadsworth Washington,
now associate commandant of cadets,
who is officially known as Captain
Washington" He will be the sue
cessor of Mai. Robert R. Morton. the
principal-elect of Tuskegee institute.
Some years ago it was said that
If Hampton had done no more than
train Booker r. Washington, it would
have paid for itself many times over.
Recently the nation, especially the
South, has been rejoicing that Major
Motion, another distinguished gradu-
ate of Hampton, would soon take up
Doctor Washington's heavy burden at
Tuskegee. Today the friends of Hamp-
ton and of Negro education are re-
joicing that another self-made, Hamp-
ton-trained man, Allen Washington,
will become the commandant of ca
dets at Hampton. where he was grad
uated in 1891-a product of the pio-
neer work of General Samuel Chap
man Armstrong.
Allen Washington came to the
Hampton school from Gloucester
county. a county which is well known
on account of the large percentage of
Negroes who own their farms and
their homes; Negroes who are law
abiding and thrifty, and who have won
the respect of the best white people
because of their industry and good
character.
Allen Washington entered the
Hampton institute in September, 1885,
and became what is called work
STUDENT" that is. he worked by day
at manual labor and then went to
school for two hours on five nights
of the week. In 1889 he finished the
harness makers trade and then spent
two years in the Hampton day school
academic department.
After his graduation Allen Washing
ton was employed by day in the har-
ness making shop and by night he
helped in the commandments depart
ment. During the next year he spent
one-half of his day in the harness
shop and one-half in the command
ants office. Little by little he be-
came more active in the disciplinary
work, and soon found his full stride
in handling boys-handling them with
sympathy and still with firmness.
The South has made no great head
way with the colored soldier idea,
though there is company at Nash
vile. In Georgia, North and South
Carolina, and some other southern
states, where by actual count whites
and blacks run about even, it was es
sayed. II the South has shrunk from
the thought of colored soldiers. Uncle
Sam has not been so particular. There
are two regiments of colored cavalry
now hunting villa in Mexico, a regi-
ment of colored infantry at Honolulu,
and another enroute home from the
Philippines. If the latter is detailed
to Mexico, as is quite likely. it is
hoped that the gentlemen on the other
side of the Rio Grande will not take
it too much to heart at being soundly
thrashed by soldiers who, on the aver
age, are not marked by more dusky
type than themselves.-Corre

Resources of Banks Show Increases.
The resources of the state banking
institutions increased s2,393,S31 SO
from March to May 1, according to
an abstract of the reports of the
banks compiled by E. E. Darch, State
Bank Commissioner. This is regard
ed as gratifying increase in a short
time. An increase in the loans made
is an indication of increased bust
ness activity. March the total re-
sources of the PIG institutions under
supervision of the state commits

AFRO-AMER|CAN CULL|NCS

Tuskegee institute is very inter-
esting place, and every one of the
teachers taking the course at the sum-
mer school seems so congenial and en-
thusiastic that l am sure great good
will result from the meeting, writes
a correspondent of the Birmingham
(Ala.) Age-Herald.
There are 416 teachers, representing
16 states. Alabama is well represent
ed. Birmingham leads in the greatest
number from any one city, as she does
in everything else.
Tuskegee is carrying out its usual
plan, even though the summer school
is made up entirely of teachers. The
instructors breakfast at five o'clock,
the other teachers at 6 rs. Our classes
begin promptly at seven o'clock. and
you would be delighted to see how
eagerly the teachers rush to prevent
tardiness. We are under as strict
rules as the student body.
From seven to 1880 the classroom
work is in full swing; at eleven we go
to the assembly room to a lecture.
Really, the lectures alone are worth
the trip to Tuskegee.
Notable among those who have come
to us are Prof. N. E. Tidwell. DR.. ]. H.
Phillips, Professor Hobby and Mr.. w.
X. Tate of Peabody normal school of
Nashville.
There are 900 students who are re-
naming here during the summer. They
are working in the different depart
ments in order that they might be
able to continue their studies another
year. | have visited the various build
ings where they are at work, and l
am sure l have never seen such thor
oughness, such close application to
duty. The beauty of it all is the hap
py cheerful spirit which seems to per-
wade the whole place. The students
who are being trained here under such
splendid instructors cannot fail to take
their places very creditably and ac.
ceptably in the world.
In the New York Charity Organiza-
tion Bulletin there is made state
ment that will probably be surprising
to most of the people who read it..
THE Negro" according to this high
authority, "is more self-reliant in pow
erty than the white living under the
same conditions He is slower to seek
assistance, and more eager to be inde-
pendent again."
These are certainly admirable Pc
culiarities, and the Bulletin, assuming,
as is safe, the truth of its assertion,
is we'll justified in asking If in them
there Is not to be seen promise to
the Negro of ultimate success in his
struggle for recognition.
1t is also somewhat surprising to
learn, or at any rate to hear, from
the same source, that the environ
ment of the Negroes in that city is
more than ordinarily favorable to
them, and that in Harlem, with its
wide cross streets and the broad,
clean stretches of Seventh and Lenox
avenues, they have been able to de-
velop their capacities for orderly, in
telligent, and prosperous living to a
greater degree than almost anywhere
else. This they have done through
business and professional relations
with each other in a fairly homo
geneous community of $4,000 colored
people.
They have not forgotten to be kind,
either. for the Charity Organization
society has special committee in
Harlem of 10 colored men and wom-
en-, working efficientl. with colored
visitor" employed jointly by the or
ganization and the Harlem Relief So
ciety.
