Tho most impressive development
Of the last few days so far as the

When Booker. Washington pub.
lished his account Of his own life Ii
years ago, at the moment the National
Negro Business league had just been
launched, before the library at Tus-
kegee for which Carnegie partly paid
had been built, and before the famous
lunch with President Roosevelt, his
educational work was In fun tide. 1t
is now possible to see his labors as
q whole and in perspective, as well as
to give him credit for many accom-
plisments that with natural modesty
he himself attributed largely to cir
cEmstances or to others.
The main facts In Booker Washing
tons career are well known: How
he was born In q slave hut in re-
mote part of western Virginia, Il year
or two before the Civil war broke out :;
how after the war his stspfathcr and
mother (his father Is unknown) re-
moved to Maiden, w. Va, to work
there in salt and coal mines; how, held
back by his step-parent but encouraged
by his mother, he learned to read and
attended night school; how in 1872
he walked, begged, and worked his
way to Hampton institute; and how
after his graduation from Hampton.
the path Of opportunity opened before
him when in 1881 he was appointed
organizer and teacher OF a new Negro
normal school at Tuskegee. Many
may not know that the most important
day III his later career was that IN
which he delivered an address in 1895
at the Atlanta and Cotton States In

President Cleveland sent him letter
