The present conflict between labor

the prsonal interests OF these two

The present conflict and threatened

careful, conscientious thought and de-

miners and railroad men have been in

Going through the Ford plant one

| saw Mr. Ford n number of times
while our country was at war. I had
studied war conditions in Europe. had
been in England, Scotland, Belgium
and France; had been in the plants
making materials, and learned of the
great need. on my return | was asked
by the ordnance department of the
government to look after the speed

600 factories.
1t was marvellous to see the work
being done by our factories but the
government had given them a high
schedule, Il very high schedule. The
Ford plant was turning out munitions
in quantities that seemed incredible,
and was one Of the very few that turn
ed out munitions right up to the gov
ernments schedule. 1t was being done
right in the plant which a few years
before Mr.. Ford said he would rather
tear down than use for making ma
terials with which to kill human beings.
One instance for saving. The gov
ernment gave the Ford organization
the contract for making cylinders for
liberty motors. The estimated cost
was $40 each. The Ford organization
made them so fast and so good that
the whole job was handed over to them,
and when the work was completed they
were billed to the government at SS.25
each, saving hundreds of thousands of
dollars.
Not much anarchy in that.

For the first time in its history the
baccalaureate address at Tuskegee In
stitute was delivered the other day by
one of its graduates, and the speaker
made the point that has the greatest
application to the colored race. He con
tended that a majority of the men of al
nations work with their hands and that
these need training. He said it was not
repressive of the desire for higher educa
dion in the best sense to educate men
for the crafts and trades, and especially
in such fundamental pursuits as agr
culture.
1t was the lot of Booker r.. Washing
ton, who founded the institute, to be mis-
understood and sometimes maligned by
his own people. But Professor Isaac
Fisher, now of Flick university, who de
livered the address in question, said he
believed that time had shown that il
would be an everlasting mistake to de
part from the principle laid down by
Booker Washington, that the way up
ward for his people lay through a be
ginning in practical things.
There was no thought that the college
and the university would not later be
needed to complete the education of the
colored people. There was never any idea
of "chaining his race to any particular
kind of toll" But the solid foundation
of character. economic wealth and intel
ligenCe is one that, as Professor Fish
er said, cannot be moved when the winds
blow ana the storms come
Tuskegee Institute deserves especial
mention among many schools that the

ment of great idea and because it has

founders. 1t will be thry-eight years old
on July next. Its announced purpose,
which was so to correlate literary and
industrial training that the students
may not get the one without the other"
marked it as almost ehochal attempt
to suit lurri culum to a special need
one of its features has been u plan
by which students are enabled to work
their own ways. Hours of instruction
are adapted to requirements of students

sistence that work shall be satisfactory
and no student is permitted to receive
more than Il stipulated sum in excess
of his expenses. The effect has thus been
to coultivate industrious habits at the
outset. which are reflected in quality
of academic and industrial attainment.
