Tuskegee institute was developed by
Booker T. Washington, and it is fit
ting that the trustees of the institu.
tion should seek to perpetuate his
name. Their idea is TO solicit a ST.
10000 endowment, to be known as the
Washington memorial" Almost one
quarter of this amount has already
been subscribed, a part, however, con
tingent on other contributions. The
$3.50 900. This is not a large sum to
ask from the colored race, inasmuch
as Tuskegee typihes the best that is
being done for them. In indianapolis
there are enough prosperous Negroes
to provide no small portion of the
minimum expected.
When Doctor Washington took
charge of Tuskegee it owned nothing.
Glasses were housed in shanties, and
the future held out no great hopes.
The perseverance with which he kept
at his work, his remarkable ability
and his sterling character attracted
the necessary support. Today Tus-
kegee is a valuable property, even
from q physical standpoint. Yet its
work is so largely philanthropic that
there is always a gap between income
and outgo. During Doctor Washing
tons lifetime this deficit was easily
met. His acquaintance was wide, and
included persons of wealth. In ask
ing help now the trustees of the in
stitute possibly look not so much to
wealthy philanthropists as to persons
who are willing to give a little in
order that a good cause may be pro-
NOTED.
"~Tuskegee institute reads the an
nouncement, lis Booker T. Washing
tons monument, and his most fitting
memorial is the perpetuation of its
great work for the benefit of the col
ored people and for the promotion of
helpful relations between the races.
The gap at present existing between
the ordinary income of the institute
and its annual outgo is approximately
S150,000." All that is desired is to
raise a trust fund of such proportions
as will reduce this annual charge to
manageable proportions" 1t is hoped
that enough will be contributed by Ne
groes to meet not only a fair share OF
the fund, but also to provide sufficient
money to erect a tablet or other me
mortal in the grounds of the institute.
At present there is only one such in
stitution; there should be many. II
is therefore important that Tuskegee
institute be preserved and enlarged as
an example in the education of the
colored people of this country.

]. b. PETRIE WAS BOOSTER
FOR THE MCKINLEY SCHOOL

James Bogart Petrie was born in
Albany, Albany county, New YORK.
August II, 1928, and died in Abb
lene, January 90, 1916, at his home,
aged 81 years, months and 3 days.
In April, 1861, he moved from New
York to Illinois and from there he
came to Kansas in 1887, and settled
at Wamego where several relatives
then lived, coming to Abilene a
year later.
He was married April 16, 1861,
to Cordilla Blish and to them was
born a daughter, Delta. After the
death of his first wife he married
Mrs. Kathern Brown May 20, 1867,
and to this union were born four
children, Charles, who died in in
fancy; Mrs. Eta Pennington who
resides in Abilene; Mrs. B. w. Hop
kins. who resides at Pratt, Kansas,
and Arthur ]. of this city. Besides
his wife and three children, who
were here to attend the funeral, he
leaves a daughter in Illinois, Mrs.
Jess Mcpherson, and stepson, Geo.
R. Brown of Edmonton, Canada.
There are IA grand children and
great grandchildren.
His parents were affiliated with
the Presbyterian church and his
early church life was with that par
ticular denomination.
Imbued with the spirit of the
west he came to Kansas from ILL
nois in the old fashioned prairie
schooner, landing in Abilene about
the time of the L. B. Johns carriage
factory boom. He bought some
property west of the carriage fac
tory and built large hotel or
boarding house, having a contract
with Johns to room and board a
hundred factory employees. The
carriage factory was one of the
boom projects and only lasted few
years. After the factory failed he
engaged in farming and has resided
in the same part of the city since
that time.
While he had only a limited
education he always interested him
self in educational development and
better school facilities. He was in
directly if not directly responsible
for the west side school building.
In the early nineties the school
funds being badly depleted the
board abandoned the west side
school and advertised the building
for sale. It was through his direct
efforts by securing large number
of taxpayers and patrons to sign
petition that prevented the sale and
caused the school, then located near
the Cough nurseries to reopen. 1t
was never closed again. 1t soon de-
veloped that the little school house
then used was inadequate to ac-
commodate all the pupils. He start
ed the agitation for a new school
building located nearer to town and
with a petition to which he had Sc
cured over 200 names Of taxpayers
and patrons as signers, he presented
it to the board of education and as
a result of his initial efforts we
have today a magnificent school
building on the west side known as
the Mckinley school. He coull not
have had a mercenary reason for
this as his children had long since
passed the school age.
He enjoyed large acquaintance
through the county and was a kind
and patient father, good neighbor
and splendid citizen. Funeral serv-
ices were held at the home Satur-
lay at $3.50, Rev. DR.. Blayney Off
