rusKEGEE AND HAMPTON.

At the. recent celebration of the
Fifty-Seeond anniversary of Hampton
institute, one of the speakers was Mr..
William G. Wilcox, president of the
board of trustees of Tuskegee institute.
Mr.. Wilcox said in part: ''Tuske-
gee and Hampton are very close to-
gether. Tuskegee represents. the reail-
cation of the hope and confidence of
Hampton. Hampton represents the sac
rifce and conservation of white people
for the benefit of the colored race. Tus-
kegee represents the self-reliance and
responsibility and achievement of the
colored people themselves. Hampton is
a school conducted by the white race
for the benefit of the colored race. Tus-
kegee is a school conducted by the col
ored people themselves; and the
achievement of the members of the
colored race at Tuskegee is a justitica-
tion for the hope and confidence Of the
founders of Hampton
"Both represent the same ideals of
service to the Negro race. Both repre-
sent the same confidence in the capa-
city of the Negro race to rise and take
advantage of opportunity and educa-
ton. Both represent the belief that
education does not mean only or mainly
the acquisition of knowledge, but
means the development of power--pow-
er to use >all the faculties Of body and
mind and spirit to the best advantage:
ssTuskegee is very grateful and
loyal to Hampton, not only because its
great founder was Hampton boy, not
only because of the long life and
achievements of Booker Washington,
but also because, throughout its entire
career, Hampton has stood as the moth
er institution, every ready to lend a
helping hand. ''-Southern Workman.

education was most encouraging, show
ing decided interest at present on the
part of school officials and other in pro-
viding more opportunities for the sec
ogdary education of Negroes, there be-
ing now sixty-nine Negro high schools
in the south. The effort to standardize
the colored normal schools and colleges
is also 81 significant, as well as the ract
that all the southern states have in
creased their appropriations to state
schools for Negroes. and that federal
aid has been offered through the Smith
Lever and Smith-Hughes acts. Hit
eracy has been reduced from 90 per
cent in 1865, to 30.4 per cent in 1910.

FOUL AIR FROM DIXIE.

Duluth, MINI, is many miles from
Dixie, but is not too far for 5000 per
sons of that city to inhale the foul all
from the land of blood and give vent
to their feelings by hanging three vic
tins without due course of law. One
whole hour of precious time was de-
voted to a mock trial nd unlawful exc
eution of the three Negroes who pro-
tested their innocence to TIE very last.
The brave police of Duluth laid aside
firearms and resorted to use of fire hose
for the protection six human lives.
Think of the valuable water that was
sacrificed for the sake of humanity.
Think of the good clothes that were
riined and damage done to the build
ings. 1t is blessing that the police did
not lose their heads and place fire arms
in the hands of the prisoners. Had this
been done and the prisoners left to de
fend themselves there might have been
a great loss of life not from gunshot,
but from fright and running on the
part of the mob in its efforts to get out
of range of the prisoners guns.

ROCKER r. WASHINGTON.

One of DR.. Washington s most re-
markable traits, one which entered
largely into his success, was his tact
What is tact? It is what quality in
the conduct of our relation with others
whom we seek to influence, which
avoids opposition to ones purpose
deceit or Misrepresentation, by proper
emphasis upon the essentials and sill
ence in respect to minor issues likely to
awaken prejudice or resentment. This
quality no man had in higher sense
than Booker Washington. He was able
to exercise it because he never thought
of himself. because he had no selfish
motive. His life was absorbed in his
cause. and that enabled him to restrain
the temptation to say things and DO
things to which he was. frequently
strongly provoked, by the knowledge
that it would in lure that which was
dearest to him-the leading of the Ne
gro race to higher things. His speech
at the Atlanta exposition is one of the
greatest speeches in the English Ian
guage, and it reveals this quality, which
I have been describing. in its most
beautiful flower. The sensitiveness of
the southern white people in respect to
the social question. no one understood
better than he. He did not waste re-
prets or self-pity over that sensitive
ness and its consequences. save where
it lead to a violation of the legal rights |
of his fellows: but he sought to re |
move that constituencies as an obstruc- |
ton to the securing of such equal !
