owed to Frederick Douglass regarding
the question Of Negro education. He
speaks of Mr.. Douglass letter to Har-

The agriculture department of the
Birmingham (Ala.) Industrial high
school directs its energies toward
model garden which sets the standard
for more than 300 home gardens. That
these gardens earn money for their
owners Is shown by the fact that 116
students were depositors of some bank
even before the school savings system
was begun.
Just behind our kitchen is a small
building which was erected by our
boys. This is the laundry and no
small part does it play in helping US
to realize that Cleanliness is next to
godliness." Emergency room linens,
kitchen cloths, schoolroom curtains
and bags, and uniforms of our girls
and for baseball boys are all kept
clean by its aid
The tailoring and shoe repairing de-
partments are kept running to accom-
modate students while the boys learn
the work. Clothes are cleaned and
shoes mended for the bare cost of
material with which to work. These
boys work cheerfully that the rest of
the students may be helped by their
skill and keep up neat appearance.
Besides printing all posters for
games, exhibits, etc., the art depart
ment teaches stenciling, fooled leath-
er. brass craft and bookmaking and
binding in an ordinary schoolroom
closet as equipment.
Thus we have been trained in the
great lesson of each working for the
common good. in using the simple
things at hand and the saving grace
of economy. by learning to do as much
as possible with a little. What the
future holds we know not, but we feel
tonight that our school has given us,
along with other forces, the spirit
with which to go at things. and we
believe that this spirit is going to help
us to find and make a way.
From this description one can east
