ANTLER DANCE DRAWS
GOOD CROWD

Lack of attendance at the
Antler dance Saturday night
probably slowed down the pur-
chasing of the uniforms and
the trip to San Francisco. A lot
of work and planning was done
by the committee to put on
such a nice dance but it fell
short of it's expected goal.
Here's hoping In the fu-
ture whenever such a worthy
affair is put on, more people
will take an interest and attend.

some basic practices of good health
which are common knowledge to-
day.
He made certain his students
brushed their teeth every day and
he saw to it that they kept their
clothes clean and In good repair.
for example.
For the spirit, he held three
services on Sunday: the morning
worship, the afternoon Sunday
school and the evening character
talks. During the week there was
q short chapel service. And for
the more pious there was the Fri
day night prayer meeting.
Washington also taught his stu
dents thrift. They raised their own
food: they built their own build
ings; they made their own clothes.
Later on, when the students be-
gan earning money by the indus
trial sldIls earned at Tuskegee,
Washington set up q student bank
where they could learn how to
save money.
While other schools concentrated
on the more academic subjects,
Washington emphasized the learn
ing of a slxill-worldng with the
hands. His favorite expression was
that, not only the head but the
heart and the hand must be taught
as well. He remembered how help
less his mother and the other
slaves looked when told they were
free. For over 200 years they had
been cared for: then suddenly
they were told to care for them
selves.
Washington vowed that when
his students left TuslSegee they
would be cultured and refined, but
they would also know how to make
q living with their hands.
Washington was not without
critics. On the one hand there were
the students and their parents.
The popular notion at that time
was that to get an education meant
how to live by ones wit. One of
Washington's first tasks was to
dispel that myth; which he did,
the way he proved anything-by
example. When the students saw
and the parents found out, that
Washington himself went out az
ter classes and did such things as
chop down tree, plant crops, and
make bricks, little more was said
by either students or parents.
Not one student left Tuskegee
or was taken out owing to WASH
ington's teaching them how to
labor with their hands instead Of
teaching only bOoIklearning.
Washington's other critics were
a small group Of Negro intellect
uals whose leader was DR.. WEB.
Dubois Of Atlanta University. He
said that by teaching his students
to work with their hands, Wash
ington was not training them to
be future Negro leaders, but to be
slaves again. Dubois felt that en-
phasis should be placed on the
arts and sciences.
washington's thoughts on this
subject were these: "rhe actual
