Advises Sober and Earnest Work as Solution to its Problems
RISE OF THE NEGRO IN SOUTH
Now Own Property to Amount of $600,000,000—Object of Tuskegee is Not Culture Alone.
"Everyone must be patient in judging my race because in civilization, it is new," said Booker T. Washington in chapel at 11:15 this morning, "every race of people is likely to want to learn the last lesson in civilization first, instead of being content with a slow evolution, and the colored people are no exception. But the black people especially in the south where they are most numerous, are getting to be sober and earnest workers, and that, in my opinion, is the best sign which we have that our great problem is being solved."
OWN $600,000,000 WORTH OF PROPERTY "This change in the attitude of the southern negro toward labor is very marked and there is no hope for any people until they realize the beauty and dignity of all kinds of labor. My people own $600,000,000 worth of taxable property in the south while fifty years ago they didn't have a penny. They own farms, small stores, and are engaged in all kinds of business. The white people are helping us get a start and realize our disadvantages."
Mr. Washington briefly described his life and struggles from his boyhood days as a slave on a Virginia plantation to the present time. He was educated at Hampton Institute in Virginia after an early life full of all kinds of privation. He has since founded Tuskegee Institute in Alabama, which is undoubtedly the leading negro school in America.
WHAT IS TAUGHT AT TUSKEGEE
"We teach farming, cooking, carpentry, laundry work and all kinds of useful industries at Tuskegee as well as academic subjects. At the beginning many desired to have only cultural courses at the school, saying that the negro had been worked long enough, not realizing the vast difference between being worked and working. Our six thousand graduates are exerting a great influence for good among the colored people in the country, as any one familiar with the conditions will admit."
To the negroes in the audience the speaker said that they must cultivate good characters and a saving habit. "Don't spend your money as fast as you earn it but start a bank account to pay for the utilities. Start a start to work for you—Kansas has lenient laws for you and it is up to you to make good."
Owing to a late train, chapel was held at 11:15 this morning in the gymnasium. A large crowd attended the lecture.
SOPHS WANT AN UMPIRE
Ask Chancellor to Help Settle Passes to The Hop.
The finance committee of the sophomore class today sent a request to Chancellor Strong, asking him to obtain data on the passes that were used for the Sophomore Hop. A controversy has arisen within the class concerning the checking up of these passes.
Arvid Frank, manager of the hop,
claims that the disposal of passes was
entirely in his hands, following the
decision. He claims he has made no report of their disposal.
The members of the finance committee claim that passes should be completely accounted for in their final report to the class, and have asked the Chancellor to help straighten out the tangle.
