er T. Washington and to his work to-
ward the solution of the race problem
in America. Every speaker eulogized
him, the quartet paid tribute to him
in song and an unexpected feature of
the meeting was a presentation OF a
medallion representing Doctor Wash
lngton's head. which had been mod
eled in clay by Miss Ruth NJ Harris,
now a student In the University oi
Pittsburgh.
There were several hundred persons
at the meeting, numbered among
whom were many prominent men and
women of Pittsburgh as well as many
Negroes who realize the work that is
being done for their race at Hampton.
The program opened with old planta-
tion melodies sung by graduates OF the
school. DR.. John A Brashear presid-
ed. He drew attention to the fact that
at the last Hampton meeting in Pitts
burgh, two years ago, Doctor Wash
ington was one OF the speakers. Doc
tor Brashear then introduced George
McAneny. managing director of the
New York Times.
Mr.. McAneny said he became inter
ested in Hampton's work when he was
sent there to write a descriptive story
some twenty-five years ago. Since
that time he has been active IN the
work OF Hampton. and OF the Tuskegee
institute, which Booker T. Washing
ton made famous. Mr.. McAneny said
that Hampton has many phases IN It's
work, but that OF which he likes to
think Is that It is the scene OF the
greatest attempt TO reach solution
OF the problem OF the place the Negro
Is TO occupy in this nation. lie wei
coined Maj. Robert Motion. also
speaker OF the evening. and the prIn.
cipal-eiect OF Tuskegee, as Booker 7.

OF his people.
Major Motions address was an expo
sition of the aims OF Hampton-to wipe
from the mind OF the Negro the repug-
nance toward manual labor which
came 70 him when he was freed. to IN
stiIl In him knowledge OF the dignity
and honor OF labor OF the hands. to
teach him TO believe Ia himself, and
to respect himself rather than 10 feel
shame at his color or his race. He
said that the adjustments Of the two
great. extremes-the white and the
biack--is the greatest problem this
country faces. and he reJoiced In the
belief that Hampton and Tuskegee are
helping to solve It.
A short address was made by Rev.

and Miss Harris then presented the
medallion to Major Motion TO be pre-
sented. In turn TO Tuskegee.
