race, especially those who are strug-
Cling against great odds to get an edu-
cation.
DR.. Carter is q native of Brunswick,
Ga. He is forty-three years Of age and
has had an interesting career in many
good movements. Being native of the
south, he knows and has felt the sting
of race prejudice. He received his ear
~ training In the public schools Of his
native town. From the public schools
of Brunswick he entered the Tuskegee
institute in 1890. He received much
encouragement and was also inspired
by DR.. Washington to 90 forward and
make the most Of his opportunities to
fit himself for his life's work.
After three years Of hard work at
Tuskegee institute young Carter re-
"ceived his diploma from the hands Of
DR.. Washington with this solemn dec
laration: Il shall ever honor this piece
OF paper" He returned to Brunswick.
and, recognizing that he owed some
thing to his home town, the place that
had made it possible for him to get
his foundation. he accepted a position
in the public school as one Of the
teachers. He at once gained the love
Of pupils and their parents.
He gave three of his best years work
to Brunswick and resigned to accept a
position in Orange Bend, Fla. where
he had charge of all the public school
work in the county. He conducted all
the normals and had under him many
teachers. His worth as an educator
was recognized by the state, and often
he was called into conference with the
state superintendent Of education.
He gave up teaching for short time
and entered Cannon Theological sem
mary. where he prepared for the min
istry. 1t was at Cannon that his
ability as a public speaker and minis
ter manifested itself, and he was
classed among the able ministers OF
the Baptist denomination. He, how
ever, again resumed school work. he
taught for a year ut the East Tennes-
see Normal and Industrial institute,
Hartman, Tenn. He began teaching
in Kansas at the instance of DR., Book
er T. Washington. The school to
which he went was mere kindergar-
ten, carried on by couple from Bos-
ton. The need OF larger work was
soon felt. and this little school was re-
organized into an industrial institute
and Is now an ideal center of educa-
ton.
At the first session Of the state leg
islature after DR.. Carter took charge
of the school $500 was appropriated
for its support. This amount has been
gradually increased to $21, 900 per an.
mum. The Indebtedness Of $1,000 has
been paid. and the plant is now worth
$4,000. The school has a faculty OF
ten teachers. and students from ten
states are in attendance.
, Although DR.. Carter is very busy
man, be is intensely interested in all
movements for the advancement OF his
people. He stands high in Masonic,
Pythian and Odd Fellow circles. For
the past twelve years he has been the
only colored member Of the board Of d.
rectors of the Kansas Children's Home
society and for several years secretary
and treasurer Of the Ministerial Union,
Topeka, composed of all the white and
colored ministers Of the city. he has
several times been honored by the gov
ernor with positions OF trust.
