VOL. XXIV. NO. 13 BURIED 'MID SCENES OF HIS EARLY STRUGGLES Thousands Mourn as Last Tribute is Paid Over Remains of Dr. Booker Taliaferro Washington BIS WORK TO BE CONTINUED Chairman Seth Low Writes "We Will Not Leave You in Your Hour of Need" Tuskegee, Ala., November 18 — The biggest tribute ever given a Southernner, was given Dr. Booker Taliaferro Washington at his funeral here Wednesday. More than eight thousand people, white and colored, rich and poor, from the lowliest farm and the richest Fifth avenue mansion crowded in and around the school chapel to pay homage at the bier of the greatest product of the South in the century Every mode of locomotion was used in conveying the sorrowing hosts to Tuskegee. They came in special Pullmans, automobiles, carriages, ox carts and on foot. The city of Tuskegee, which the school has made famous throughout the contient, suspended all of its business activities for the day, and headed by Mayor C. W. Thompson, the entire city officier attended the funeral in a body. Nor was this all. The citizens of this little aristocratic Southern town threw wide their doors to the accommodation of some of the many who were unable to be accommodated at the school. There was no North, no South, no white, no black as silently and reverently the assembled hosts filed through the little chapel and gazed for the last time upon all that was mortal of Tuskegee's principal. The casket rested under a blanket of crysanthemums from the girls industrial school. A special train from Montgomery brought a car loaded to the roof with flowers. These and the flowers from the various classes in the school, were banked high around the chancel rail. Uniformed students stood at the head and foot of the collin as a guard of honor. At ten o'clock the sound of the bugle was heard in the distance. In a few minutes the student boy was marching into the church, then filled almost to its capacity by guests from every part of the country. Outside crowds gathered around the windows to hear what they might of the services within. In the front pew sat the widow of Dr Washington, his children and his brother and co-laborer, John H. Washington. Near them were Emmett Scott, Dr. Washington's confidential secretary; Warren Logan, one of the oldest teachers; E. N. Atwill, purchasing agent of the school; Major R. R. Moton, scores of teachers and others. The following telegram was read from Seth Low, ex-Mayor of New York and president of the Board of Trustees of the Institute. "On behalf of the board of trustees, I send to you, and through you to the officers, teachers and students of Tuskegee Institute, our warmest sympathy in the death of the school's great founder, Booker T. Washington. In his death the country has lost a great man and great patriot, and the Negro race an inspiring leader. It is now yours to show without his magnetic presence, by your loyalty to the school and to his high ideals, how truly you have caught the The Nation Mourns The Nation's Loss inspiration of his spirit and of his devoted life of service. "The trustees will not fail you in your hour of need, and we count confidently on your loyal cooperation in keeping Tuskegee a worthy memorial of the great man with whom you have worked so long and well." The services were simple to the extreme—scripture reading by Chaplain J.W. Whittaker, and Dean Eames, and prayer by Rev. Hollis P. Frissell, principal of Hampton. There was no eulogy. The choir sang Harriet Beecher Stowe's "Still With Thee," "Lead Kindly Light" several plantation hymns and the services were over. Slowly the body was borne thru the crowd that massed about the chapel. Into the tomb built of brick made in the school plant, and erected by the hands of the students the coffin was lowered. Dr. Washington was in his last resting place in his own dearly beloved Tuskegee. OLD LANDMARK SOLD. The old homestead of James A. Harris, 514, St. Paul street, where for the past half century was carried on the largest catering business in the south, was sold Wednesday, November 17th, at public auction. Mr. Harris, was a contemporary of the Sythes, Jacques, Bradfords, Bishops and others of that period, and was at one time thought to be worth a hundred thousand dollars. It is said that through the failure of one of Baltimore's large National Banks and other causes Mr. Harris lost large sums of money and at the time of his death was comparatively penniless. The sale of this property wipes out the name of Harris, who built it many years ago, which at that time was one of the best houses in Baltimore occupied by colored people. The sale price was $3,005 and was bought by H. M. Burkett, colored Real Estate Broker. Rev. S. S. Wormley is now supplying the pulpit of the West Washington Baptist Church and may be called to the pastorate of the same. STATE TEACHERS TO HOLD ANNUAL MEETING The Maryland Colored State Teachers' Association is planning to hold the biggest session in its history on December 28, 29 and 30. The opening session will be held at Union Baptist Church, at which time G. C. Woodson, of Washington, and others are on the program for addresses. Problems of school work will be discussed at day sessions at Morgan College. Rev. C. A. Tindley, of Philadelphia, is expected to address the association at Metropolitan M. E. Church on the evening of the second day. The association will urge that better school facilities be provided colored children in the counties. Prof. S S. Goodloe, head of the State Normal School at Bowie, Md., is president of the Association, and George B. Murphy is chairman of the executive committee. ODD FELLOWS MAY LOSE $21,000 BUILDING New Orleans, La., Nov. 18. — The Odd Fellows are about to lose their property here, foreclosure proceedings having been instituted. The Masons and the Odd Fellows made a joint agreement to purchase a piece of property a few years ago for $21,000. They defaulted in the first payment of $5,000, and the Masons practically withdrew from the agreement. The first owner having died, the second agreed to carry out the first terms. The Orders again defaulted and the second owner died in the meantime. The property was then sold to a third man, who sold half to the parties interested for $31,000, the lodges paying $10,000 cash and giving notes for the remainder. Payments on the notes are now long overdue and the lodges are in danger of losing other property. TEACHER'S ASSOCIATION ELECTS NEW HEAD A "hot time in the old town" characterized the meeting of the Baltimore Educational Association, at Grace Presbyterian Church Thursday. A large number of teachers attended, not only because Superintendent of Schools Koch was on the program to speak, but because a big effort was going to be made to elect a successor to H. Milton Gross as president The superintendent was there and made a good speech and Mr. Gross was superseded. Mr. Koch, in his address, urged the teachers to take a general interest in uplift matters and declared that he deplored the low salaries paid teachers. The constitution of the association was so amended that officers could be elected in November, and thus was paved the tobagon for Mr. Gross. The following officers were elected: D. O. W. Holmes, president; Elmer A. Henderson, vice president; Howard E. Young, secretary, and E. Parker Moore, treasurer. HEALTH WEEK NEXT MONTH The Maryland Colored Health Association will conduct "Health Week." December 6 to 12, at the same time the National Association for the Prevention of Tuberculosis is conducting a National Health Week throughout the country. The Association plans to conduct clinics in various sections of the city for the examination of adults. Special cases among school children will also be directed at these clinics. Wednesday, December 8, is the day set apart for these examinations. The school children will present plays provided by the Association on Friday night and Sunday the various congregations will be appealed to, to help better health conditions. The interest of the school teachers, clergymen and the public in general will be enlisted to make the work of the Association a success during this week. WALKER CLEARED OF MURDER CHARGE Richmond, Va., Nov. 17.—The jury in the case of Russell E. T. Walker, charged with the murder of his father, brought in a verdict of "not guilty" in the Hastings Court, Monday. Walker is a son of Mrs. Maggie L. Walker, president of the St. Luke Penny Savings Bank, and regarded as the richest woman in the State. NO CHOICE YET FOR SPINGARN MEDAL New York, November 18.—The Spingarn Medal committee met here last Thursday, but failed to elect the person to whom the medal will be awarded this year. The winner will be announced shortly, however. BIBLE GLASSES BANQUET The annual banquet of the Adult Bible Classes was held in the Metropolitan Hall on Thursday night, nearly one hundred persons being present. Toasts covering various phases of Sunday School work were responded to by Mr. Walter Thornton Mrs. Annie R. Frisby, Mr. Nathan Bryan, Mr. Thomas H. Smith, Prof. George A. Owens and Rev. John Holmes, pastor of the church: Garrett D. Rawlings was toastmaster. J. Logan Jenkins was caterer for the affair. PRESIDENCY GOES A BEGGING The local branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People failed to elect a president at a meeting held at Behel Church on Thursday evening of last week. A number of persons were suggested, but all declined. Other officers were elected as follows: George B. Murphy, vice president; Miss Ethel Lewis, secretary, and Dr. H.A. McCard, treasurer. Clarke L. Smith was elected a member of the executive committee. HAITIAN SENATE RATIFIES TREATY Provisions, Give, United, States Practical Control of Little Island Republic For Ten Years. Port au Prince, Haiti, November 18. The Haitian Senator has ratified the treaty that, the United States practically forced it to accept. The treaty practically gives the United States control of this country for the next ten years, as America will control, the collection of customs, disbursements, and the constabulary will be in control of native officers. The provisions of the treaty are highly objectionable to certain classes here, except the Dartingue-nave government, and, it is hoped that the United States Senate will refuse to ratify it. Patriotic Haitians realize that their country is in need of a stable government, but they do not take kindly to a treaty, which practically robs it of sovereignty and turns over the administration of affairs to a country that treats its colored citizens from a prejudicial stand-point. The fact that Haiti may not undertake any financial measures without the consent of the American government is not liked here, especially since it is believed to be a cog in the policy of dollar diplomacy, which has grown in force since the completion of the Panama Canal. Arthur Bailly Blanchord, the American Minister, arrived here Wednesday after an absence of several months. BEN DAVIS UNDER FIRE Philadelphia, November 17. At the bi-monthly meeting of the board of the Sub-committee of Management of the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows, held here a few days ago, a number of complaints against the executive committee of the Grand Lodge of Georgia were considered. While only a specific charge was made against Benjamin J. Davis, district grand secretory for Georgia, all were directed at him, as he is the leading spirit and bone of contention in that State. The complaints may be finally determined at the January meeting of the Sub-committee of Management. BUSINESS MEN'S EXCHANGE MEETS At the monthly meeting of the Colored Business Men's Exchange at their building 1210 Pennsylvania avenue on Thursday night, plans were discussed for a monster business men's banquet to be given under the auspices of the Exchange in the near future at which business men from all over the State will be invited. A number of new members were added to the roll as a result of the membership campaign which is being waged with much vigor by a special committee. DIES RETURNING FROM FUNERAL While returning from the funeral of her daughter, Mrs. Laura Augustus, Thursday of last week, Mrs. Mary L. Richardson, was stricken with heart failure, and died the following morning. The husband of the daughter, Mr. George Augustus, telegraphed to his wife's sister, Mrs. Philip Henson at Chestertown Thursday night, telling her of the illness of Mrs. Richardson. When Mr. Henson, who was well known in fraternal circles throughout the State, heard of his mother-in-law's affliction he was so shocked that a serious paralytic stroke was suffered. He is now in a serious condition at his home. Y. M. C. A. NOTES enn emcee rn nt — have been made agreeable to all. GY. M,C. A.

WHAT A NEW BUILDING WILL MEAN TO BALTIMORE ay. November 15, 1915 ‘Upon hearing of the unusual offer’ of the Chicago Merchant Prince of $25,000 to any city that would secure, through contribu- tions, an additional $75,000 where- with to provide an Association Building for colored men and boys, almost everybody wondered what advantage a building of such great cost. would be to colored people, There was possibly no little surprise when, it was learned that the offer of Mr. Rosenwald was actually undertaken by the citizens of Washington, D. C. The action lof the ‘people of Washington was followed by that of white and color- ed association workers and sym- path izers in one-half dozen other cities, notably, Chicago, Philadel- |phia, and Atlanta, Finally, the people of Baltimore, ed by association workers, who had striven for fifteen or twenty years to establish an adequate association here, determined to undertake to meet the offer of Mr. Rosenwald. Through the Central Association, the white citizens of Baltimore pledged $50,000 leaving a balance ‘of $25,000 to be raised by colored citizens, With what. interest and unlooked-for success this attempt was accomplished, will long be remembered by the people of this city, for easily within the time limits set for the Campaign the colored people of Baltimore had subscribed more than $30,000. ‘There were of course, many who thought that we never could pledge $25,000 for work of this sort, and there were not a few who openly expressed doubt that any reasonable proportion of the money pledgd would ever be paid in. Inall of these respects the doubters turned out to be false prophets, for there ‘has already been paid in, in actual ‘cash, a sum of money falling short of the amount that must be on hand before the building is actually be- gun, by only a few hundred dollars. But the doubters have not yet been entirely eliminated, ‘‘For’’, said many, ‘‘when you have actully paid |in all of the money subscribed, have purchased your ground. Wailt and equipped your building, what acs yon going te do with the $100,000 tied up in an unproductive build- ing and equipment? How can it be maintained? Or,if maintained, | what good will such a plant be?”” Now, these doubters were not al- together idle persons, wholly un- acquainted with the work and plans of an association, They included | among their numbers successful business men, men of good somnen| sense, and intelligence. Many of these doubters had contributed their means, and had actually worked in the campaigns to raise the money, but they still doubted the wisdom. of attempting to provide a build-' ing on such alarge scale, As to their misgivings, association m:n} and sympathizers had only their wisdom and their faith in the pos- sibilities “for good. which they be- THE AFRO-AMERICAN LEDGER eo ee te te ge ee eee OR EGIL to the maintairiance of the institu- tion the necessary support. The fact that $500,000 Associa- tion buildings and $100,000 build- ings had been provided and main- tained for white young men throughout, the cities of the United States was ‘not sufficient proof that our eff orts would meet with suc- cess. But, if the success of white Asgociations was due to their ability to attract men through increased facilities such as fine gymnasiums, with free instruction of physical training of all kinds, indoor an outdoor track and other athletic sports, bowling alleys, swimming pools, and other pl asing and healthful means for diversions, even should all of these things be offered in our gymnasium the doubters conjured up the question, “Shall we find a sufficient number of young men interested in this sort of wholesome recreation to justify such elaborate provision along these lines?” Here, again, ‘association sympathizers could only answer in their faith.and hope that a sufficient number of interested men -conld be found. ‘‘But’’ said the doubters, ‘‘the physical part of the association does not constitute the entire association.. The white associations have large social in- terests. They have splendid schools wherein clerks and machinists and young men engaged in various other kinds of work prepare them- selves of higher work and greater pay. Then, too, the religious work of the Association is already being done in the Churches, and if it is a matter of simply con- ducting Bible classes, and seeking to foster Christianity among the youth of the race,why the Churches can do that just as they have al- ways done. Can you guarantee,” said the doubters, ‘‘can you give proof that the association will suc- ceed in reaching young men who are not already reached by the present religious institutions and influences?’” But, those who had faith realiz- ing that 40,006 or 50,000 young men and boys were being reached, socially, spiritually, and physically, only in part, by existing institu- tions, would not allow themselves to be turned aside. Fortunately for us, here, the question need no longer remain un- settled. We need no longer wonder if a $100,000 building is worth jwhile, or if it can be supported; for several other cities with smaller colored populations than the city of Baltimore, have blazed the way. |They have already built and | equipped their buildings, and they have succeeded in maintaining |them through. their own member- ship dues and personal contribu- tions. We need no longer wonde1 if the association is worth while, for the large number of older men and young men and boys at play in the recreation rooms, on the bowling alleys, in the gymnasiums, in the {swimming pool, and the athletic field give unmistakable proof of their physical development under the most desirable conditions. 1 At the same time the buildings are daily visited by constant throngs of young men; classes in Bible instruction, in social life problems; courses in general edu- cation that make for professional culture and efficiency, give further evidence of the proven worth of such an institution. But, even more important than the splendid facilities for physical development and for religious growth and physical culture is the healthful. atmosphere which is made possible by a piant of this sort. ‘The opportunity for companionship and association among young men and boys under wholesome and en- nobling conditions and surroundings is one of the association’s most vital contributions. Is there any other institution in the community wheré one might find sueh a large number of men and boys, so pleasantly and profitably occupied, as is found in the Association Buiilding?

Leaders are born not made. Who will fill Mr. Washington's shoes? The Trustee Board will have an unenviable task on its hands. As far as we are able to judge, and considering his close contact with Mr. Washington in all these years, we would say the logical conclusion would be that Mr. Emmett J. Scott, should step into Mr. Washington's shoes. Mr. Washington is dead. For a long time, he has been looked upon as the Moses of the race that was to be dead out of bondage. It is just possible that the race will not have another leader, but leaders, for it is seldom that a mah can be found to fill any mah shoes as he has filled them. And so if we are to have leaders it is to be hoped that they will be the kind we need and not men with selfish ends to Nearly—every-prominent newspaper in the country published the death of Dr. Washington on its front page as first class news matter. The Sun and News of this city did the same, but it was left to the Baltimore American, a supposed Republican paper, to put it on the inside and well towards the back of the paper. And yet we read it. Will we ever learn our lessons? Rev. Francis J. Grimke, pastor of the 15th Street Presbyterian Church in Washington, settles the controversy as to whether Booker T. Washington was formally invited, by Ex-president Rosevelt to lunchroom at the White House or whether, when lunchroom was announced, during Mr. Washington's call, as a matter of courtesy the express asked him to stay. Rev. Grimke states—definitely in a letter to the Washington Star that Mr. Washington was invited formally and left his home for the White House with that intention. Mr. Washington usually stopped with Reverend Grimke, when he was in the capital city. A committee of the Frederick Douglass Centre in Chicago addressed a open letter to Dean Kelly Miller, in reply to his article on the "Risk of Woman's Suffrage" in the current Crisis." The committee composed wholly of women reply in a form that is remarkable in Argument and in depth of feeling: It points out that Dean Miller has been a brother to impartial advocate of human rights and of a growing democracy which draws no lines of race or sex or creed." The attitude of the Dean in opposing woman's suffrage, is therefore conceived as involving "grave moral defection." Not satisfied with this, in concluding they would remind that the cause of liberty is not less wide than the area of the earth and "the friends of freedom must learn to walk abreast." THE GREAT PEACE MAKER Three years ago the program of Harvard Union lectures for the year included the name of a Negro, who came to speak on the "Mission of the Negro." The audience included the usual elements of a great college student body like Harvard. There were men from the North and from the South, men of both races; on this occasion however they came with entirely confused feelings: this Negro was a man in the public eye, but after all only a Negro. The lecturer began to speak so quietly at first that one must strain in order to catch everything that was said. He recited quaint anecdotes of colored folk in the South and followed them with recitals of racial friction, which resulted from the Negro's simplicity. The disdain of the audience gave way to interest, their scepticism to conviction. At the end of his lecture Mr. Washington had carried his hearers tumultuously along with him. The greatest courtesy and veneration were his as long as he remained at Harvard. What Booker T. Washington did to the audience at Harvard, he did for the whole country, and Tuskegee with its tremendous extension work is the result of it. The white people of the South who believed that the Negro should be but a slave, the white people of the North who stand for a modification of this policy, if not the entire freedom of the Negro; the Southern Negro who had seen the fruit of Mr. Washington's work and come to believe in him and the Northern Negro, who looked askance at the leader of an educational propaganda likely to endanger the existence of its schools, for higher education; these four elements of our population the principal of Tuskegee knew how to reconcile and bind together for an era of racial progress that is remarkable in the history of the republic. After, the discord and strife of two decades ago as to "What education is best for the Negro" or the larger question "What shall we do with the Negro", peace has come and no one doubts any longer that the place for the colored man is the United States, and while higher education for those who are able to pursue it is indispensable, industrial education is the first need of the masses. The impetus that industrial education has received in the schools of both races is due first to General Armstrong of Hampton, but chiefly to his apostle, Booker Washington of Tuskegee. In his personality Principal Washington united the essential qualities of a great leader. With a vision beyond that of ordinary men he saw the fundamental principles in human life, which he adapted to suit, the needs of the Negro in the South. Prophet-like he had the sense of prevision and added to this a simplicity and sincerity, that were tu al. No one who heard Mr. Wasington ever complained that he could not understand his message or that the message lacked the speaker's own conviction of the truth of his statements. He uttered the profoundest philosophy in the language a child could understand. Booker T. Washington died a younger man by far than the first Washington, father of our country. He had more to bear, slavery and its consequent poverty, struggle for education, leader of a new movement, whom enemies and friends crucified with criticisms and the load of responsibility for the success of an institution worth million in money, untold millions in labor. Speaking of this last, Seth Low, pr-sident of Tuskegee Trustees, said in the recently published report of the institution: "The influence and the labors of Dr. Washington have proved adequate year by year to bridge this wide gulf; (deficit of $200,000 per annum) but every year it becomes more and more important to relieve the principal of some measures of this burden." The Trustees recognized too late the weight upon his shoulders. "Let us have peace" said General Washington. No one has worked more ardently toward that end than his namesake. The name of Washington since the war of R-volution has had its significance for America; with the life of the principal of Tuskegee, double luster attaches itself to the name. Both men were great, both rendered high service in the cause of Peace. DELTA NITES Delta, Pa., November 17. —Rev. F. D. Smith was visiting friends in Philadelphia last we k. Mr. B. W. Gibson of Delta, spent Sunday with his brother, Mr. Henry Gibson of Brynsville, Pa. Miss Louise Butler, of York, Pa., THE AFRO-AMERICAN LED GER AN EPOCH IN AMERICAN HISTORY Editor of Crisis Makes Thoughtful and Generous Estimate Of The Late Dr. Booker T. Washington There was possibly no severer, yet withal more tolerant critic of some of the announced views of Booker T. Washington regarding vital questions affecting the race than Dr. W. E. B. DuBois, editor of the Crisis. One was a Southerner shaping his utterances to somewhat suit the white South while aiming to get a fair hearing for the race and the other is New England born and educated, who knows not the spirit of compromise or submission and who would have the Negro without reserve enjoy all rights that other classes of Americans possess. Dr. DuBois, who has made a profound study of the race question in its economic and sociological bearings, will make the following thoughtful and generous estimate of Dr. Washington in the December Crisis: "The death of Mr. Washington marks an epoch in the history of America. He was the greatest Negro leader since Frederick Douglass, and the most distinguished man, white or black, who has come out of the South since the Civil War. His fame was international and his influence far-reaching. Of the good that he accomplished there can be no doubt: he directed the attention of the Negro race in America to the pressing necessity of economic development; he emphasized technical education and he did much to pave the way for an understanding between the white and darker races "On the other hand, there can be no doubt of Mr. Washington's mistakes and short comings; he never adequately grasped the growing bond of politics and industry; he did not understand the deeper foundations of human training and his foundation of understanding between white and black was a foundation of caste. "We may then generously and with deep earnestness lay on the grave of Booker T. Washington testimony of our thankfulness for his astonishing help in the accumulation of Negro land and property, his establishment of Tuskegee and spreading of industrial education and his compelling of the white South to at least think of the Negro as a possible man. "On the other hand, in stern justice, we must lay on the soul of this man, a heavy responsibility for the consummation of Negro disfranchisem-nt, the decline of the Negro college and public school and the firmer establishment of color caste in this land. MUST ASSERT RIGHTS "What is done is done. This is no fit time for recrimination or complaint. Gravely and with bowed head let us receive what this great figure gave of good, silently rejecting all else. Firmly and unfalteringly let the Negro race in America, in bleeding Haiti and throughout the world close ranks and march steadily on, determined as never before to work and slave and endure, but never swerving from their great goal: the right toote, the right to know, and the right to stand as men among men throughout the world." Private Rawlings, of Negro descent, first joined the 109th Canadian Regiment. He was afterward transferred to the 81st and now reports that he is not acceptable in his battalion. The following is a part of his letter to the "Canadian Observer" in Toronto: "The reason allegel is that objection is taken on the ground that there may be just a trace of color discernable, but Rawlings was born in Canada and his people were Canadians for generations. He feels the discrimination against him very ke nly, and does not see why any f eling should be displayed. He is keenly anxious to do his share in the war, and only wanted to get to the front as soon as he could." Private Rawlings announces his intention of going to England in order the sooner to reach the front. It would appear that the Private is more desirous of fighting than of serving his country. The question naturally follows—when is patriotism not patriotism. "The Colored Virginian" is of the opinion that the United States in the event of a war with Europe should have more to fear from within than without; that traitors and spies from within should more likely endanger. its independent national existence than invasion from foreigners. Of course concludes the Virginian, "the loyalty of the black millions could never be questioned. They know no home, no country and no nationality, but that which is America, and in the eventuality of war, from which we are by no means immune, this would stand out above all things else." The "Virginian" is no doubt right in believing that the Negro would not take part in conspiracies against this government. In event of war but just as much wrong in feeling that black loyalty would manifest itself actively and conspicuously. This country will not expect of its darker peoples much where it grants little, and Negroes them selves are growing in the conception of what American citizenship requires. COUNTY TEACHERS RESOLUTIONS Whereas, Through the dispatches of the Associated Press and daily papers have been made known to us that God in his almighty power, the giver and taker of human race, has laid His merciful hand of death, this 14th day of November 1915, upon one of the greatest geniuses of his twentieth century and has taken from our midst a great leader, a true teacher and inspiring character to those of our race, in the person of the late Dr. Booker T. Washington. Whereas, we, who bow in humble submission to his divine will, We, the colored Teachers of Baltimore County Association, who have been benefited from this life well spent in the educational development of our race feel greatly grieved at the death of this distinguished American citizen. Do hereby resolve. Through the Executive Board of the said Colored Teachers Association of Baltimore County extend to the bereaved family, relatives and friends our heartfelt sympathy. Be it further resolved, That a copy of these resolutions be sent to the family and copy be printed in the local papers. Royal G. Addison, Chairman Charles H. Wright Clarence Scott M.

A TALE OF SLAUGHTER For the second time within as many weeks the dilapidated eleven of the Colored High School was dipped into the "kalsomine bucket" and this time it was the hands of the Morgan College machine. Hope ran high among the big crowd of rooters of the orange and blue, as they saw their team kick to the Edmondson avenue boys, for they figured that if their school was win at all this season, that time had now come. But as was doped in these columns last week, things went quite the other way, for hardly had the ball been in play five minutes before a series of line plunges and end runs brought the ball to within 10 yards of High School goal. Morgan kicked and the ball rolled behind High School's goal where a Morganite fell on it for a touchback. With the ball on her 20 yard line H. S tried a forward pass which Morgan intercepted and on a similar play Lane caught the ball and race thru a broken field 20 yards for a touchdown. High School seemed completely bewildered. By the end of the first quarter Morgan had again brought the ball to High School's 10 yard line. High School kicked and Morgan caught the ball on the 20 yard line, and on the next two plays raced over for a touchdown but was brought back 15 yards for holding. Harris made a beautiful end run and Morgan hit the High School's line for the second touchdown of the game. Lane kicked a beautiful goal. Morgan kicked off to H. S. and downed her near 20 yard line. H. S. made a miserable attemp to kick and Morgan ran the ball up to the 10 yard line and on three line plunges carried the pigskin over for six more points. Following the kick off in the second half High School showed a flash of form and Taylor ran 20 yards around Morgan's end on a fake pass and followed it up with a forward pass that netted them 10 yards. This was the nearest H. S. TESTIMONIAL TO LAWYER W. ASHBIE HAWKINS Quite an agreeable company of ladies and gentlemen met at the Y. M. C. A. Friday evening, November 12, the occasion being a surprise testimonial to Mr. W. Asbie Hawkins, for valuable service rendered the community and race. To say that Mr. Hawkins is one of the best friends to the race, but mildly expresses it. As he has championed the cause for right and justice, when others have flinched and the women of Northwest Baltimore felt it a privilege to honor a man who would dare to publicly stand up in the force of church, Bishop John Hurst; address in behalf of public school, Prof. Mason A. Hawkins; on behalf of physicians, Dr. Wm. H. Wright; on behalf of dentists, Dr. Albert O. Reed; on behalf of law, Mr. Wm. C. McCard; on behalf of Pythian Order, Mr. George A. Owens; on behalf of women of Maryland, Miss Ida R. Cummings; on behalf of Civic League, Miss Sarah Fernandis; on behalf of women of church, Mrs. Bertha K. Hurst. Short talks were delivered by Dr. Thomas Hawkins, Prof. C. Carrington Davis, Rev. Dr. Mack, Macedonia Baptist Church; Rev. Dr. Mitchel, Memorial Church; Mrs. Bertha K. Church; Prof. Griffin of North Carolina; Miss Eva Bowles of New York; Madam Roberta Creditt, Mr. ever came to scoring. She was penalized for holding and tried another forward pass which Lane intercepted and ran nearly 40 yards before he was downed. Morgan fumbled and was thrown for a loss. Morgan bungled a lateral pass, but recovered the oval. The quarter ended with the ball in H. S.'s possession on her 25 yard line. A forward pass failed to carry and H. S. was thrown for 15 yards loss on the next play. Morgan blocked H. S.'s kick and Lane intercepted a forward pass and ran the ball up past the 10 yard line. Morgan fumbled and H. S. again kicked Morgan ball on 20 yard line. A forward pass by Morgan failed. H. S. attempted to kick and Morgan blocked it beautifully. The ball rolled behind High Schools' goal line where a Moragnite fell on it for the fourth touchdown of the game. The game ended a few minutes later with the ball see-sawing up and down the field. Lane generalled his team in fine style as well as playing a fine game himself while Morgan backs tore great gaps in the H.S. line. Harris was the greatest ground gainer for Morgan. Unless the High School team shows a decided improvement in form they can hardly be expected to make even a showing against the Howard Preps Thanksgiving Day. Morgans journeyed to Storer (W. Va.) College yesterday in an effort to add another star to their crown This is the first time these two teams have met for 12 years, Morgan winning the last game 6-0. Thanksgiving Day Morgan will go to Manassas, Va., to play a game with that strong Virginia team. A hard game is expected. Halfback Pollard, who has been playing such a rattling good game for Brown University showed up well against Harvard last Saturday and although his fumble permitted a touchdown for his opponents, it was mainly due to his line letting and running ability that his team scored at all. In an uninteresting game, Howard defeated the Annapolis A. C. last Saturday by a score of 12-0. The Annapolis team is composed of seasoned warriors who know the game but could not stand the strain of playing with the younger and better conditioned men of Howard. In the second half all of Howard's first team was replaced by substitutes. A special steamer has been chartered to run from Washington to Hampton for the game between the teams of those two schools, which will take place on Thanksgiving Day. Special rates will be given those taking passage on this steamer. Harry T. Pratt and Miss Roberta Waring rendered musical selections. In beautiful language Mrs. Florena K. Owens presented Mr. Hawkins a silver handle silk umbrella in behalf of the company. The dining room was beautifully decorated with national colors and cut flowers. Refreshments were served and souvenirs given to each gentleman. The committee consisted of the following ladies: Mrs. Jennie H. Ross, Mrs. Mamie Griggs, Mrs. Marie Payne, Mrs. Edna Reed, Mrs. Lura V. Garrett, Mrs. Elizabeth (Oleman, Mrs. Emily Thompson, Mrs. Mary E. Matthews, Miss Roberta Waring. Adv.

WASHINGTON'S RISE FROM SLAVERY TO ONE OF THE MOST PROMINENT FIGURES OF HIS TIME IN THE AMERICAN NATION Like Abraham Lincoln and Frederick Douglass, Booker Taliafero Washington overcame the obstacles of humble and obscure birth and became one of the few men known of all men. He was uncertain as to the exact time of his birth, but it is believed to have been at Hales Ford, Va., in 1857 or 1858. His mother, whose name was Janey was owned by John Burroughs. His life was like that of any other slave boy—hardships and the barest necessities of life. Following the close of 1865, Booker's mother and his stepfather, Washington Ferguson, moved to Malden, W. Va., where employment was secured in a salt furnace. He worked in the salt mines a short while, and then secured employment in the home of Mrs. Faris Buckner, a lady of New England descent. Though she made him walk a chalk line, he had an opportunity to acquire a little education. Hearing of Hampton Institute, he determined to enter there. He made his way to Richmond, Va., where he slept in a drygoods box. He walked to Hampton Institute. Arriving there penniless, he sought admission. He was told to sweep the floor, which he did so well that he was admitted as a student. He devoted himself assiduously to his duties, graduating in 1875. He then went to West Virginia to teach school. He later entered the old Wayland Seminary, in Washington, leaving in a year to accept an instructorship at Hampton Institute. ESTEEMED BY ARMSTRONG Dr. Washington won the confidence of the late Gen. Samuel C. Armstrong, at that time head of Hampton Institute, and in 1881, when a call was made for a man to go to Tuskegee and establish a school, Washington was chosen. He was promise $2,000 a year for maintenance, and established the school in a small frame structure used by the congregation of Zion M. E. Church. Mr. Washington was the only teacher, beginning with thirty pupils. He bought an old plantation for $500 later, $250 of which was loaned by Gen. J. F. B. Marshall, one of his teachers at Hampton. Porter Hall, the first building on the plantation, was then put up, being used for classrooms and a girls' dormitory. Some frame shanties were built as a quarter for the boys. The school grew in numbers and influence, and appropriations were secured from the Alabama Legislature and the Slater Fund. Virginia Hall was next built. The institute had by this time grown to large proportions and money began to pour in from the North. Not only did Dr. Washington and his assistants strive hard to educate their pupils in the academic and industrial branches, but they sought to improve the lot of the farmers in and around Tuskegee. As a result the annual Tukkegee Conferences have become noted, "Black Belt" farmers coming thereto from miles around. By the early Ninties Tuskegee Institute and its principal had become well-known. Mr. Washington leaped into fame, however, when at the Cotton States Exposition at Atlanta in 1895, he delivered his famous speech in which he asserted, "We can remain as separate as the five fingers in all things social, but one, as the hand, in those that make for material progress." HIS RISE RAPID This speech pleased white Southerners and much newspaper space was devoted thereto. Frederick Douglass, the acknowledged leader of the race, had only died a few months before this speech was delivered, and the North was investing its money in Southern industries and the South, in the language of the late Henry Grady wanted to be let alone in its treatment of the Negro. Mr. Washington admirably fitted into this situation, and then began his widely-published speeches of industrial efficiency and service on the part of Negroes to the white South. White capitalists of the North began to lavish money on Tuskegee and the white South began to take a more active interest in pushing the Washington propaganda. WRITES AUTOBIOGRAPHY Wid spread attention was attracted to the life and work of Dr. Washington through a series of autobiographical articles, entitled "Up From Slavery," published by the New York Outlook in 1898. These articles later appeared in book form, and have been translat- A. H. MRS. BOOKER T. WASHINGTON ed into many languages. Harvard University gave Mr. Washington the honorary degree of master of arts in 1898 and Dartmouth College honored him with the degree of doctor of laws in 1901. Many Southerners, though warm admirers of the educator, hated to address him as "Mister," but the degree from Dartmouth enabled them to overcome their narrow prejudices and call him "Doctor." The Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute, which was incorporated in 1892, celebrated its (25th) anniversary in 1906. Former President Taft, then Secretary of War in Roosevelt's cabinet; Andrew Carnegie, Seth Law and many other notables attended the ceremonies. Andrew Carnegie was one of the many donors to the school, giving $600,000 with the stipulation that enough should be set aside from the annual income to insure Dr. Washington ever being in want. Not only did Dr. Washington work hard to build up the school which now has 1,400 pupils, an annual income of $350,000,3,500 acres and buildings valued at $5(0,000), but he succeeded in securing an endowment exe ding $1,000,000. He had worked ardently to secure a $2,000,000 endowment, and this, with the depression caused by the European war, told heavily on his energies. Not only was Dr. Washington intensely interested in the upbuilding of the school, but he was deeply interested in other movements. As president of the National Negro Business League, a member of the Jeanes' Fund Board, a director in Howard and Fisk Universities, as well as lecturing all over the country, much of his time was consumed. Not only did he do these things, but he was in constant touch with white and colored people in this and other counties. Letters by thousands came to him for advice on this or that subject, and through an efficient corps of secretaries, he kept up with his correspondence. In Emmet J. Scott he had one of the best secretaries that the country has afforded. Dr. Washington's preaching of the industrial education propaganda caused him to be severely assailed by the exponents of higher education. His usual reply was that Tuksegee employs college graduates on its faculty. In fact, he had gathered around him a most capable corn of instructors. Tuksegee had many activities among which was the printing and research departments. The printing department was first managed by Gabriel D. Maddox, now proprietor of a printing establishment in Baltimore. A small plant was donated which Maddox, as a teacher-student, had charge of until 1885. This plant, which is now one of the best equipped in the schools of the country, prints the vast amount of literature which Tuksegee sends out, as well as its correspondence for daily and weekly newspapers. SHARPLY CRITICIZED Dr. Washington's views on questions affecting the race had been criticized by such men as Dr. William E. B. DuBois, W. Monroe Trotter, Edward H. Morris and Rev. Dr. Harvey Johnson. A small riot occurred in Boston more than a decade ago when Mr. Trotter and others asked him to explain what he meant when he said, "Every revised constitution is a premium on intelligence," and "I am not so much concerned about THE AFRO-AMERICAN LEDGFR "Jim Crow' cars as I am that no bestial Negro is in the same." bestial Negro is in the same. Some of those opposed to his views invited him to a conference in New York a few years ago and urged that he speak out more for race rights. It is a noteworthy, however, that he had become more outspoken in recent years. Tuskegee Institute is a marvel of efficiency in its management, as was indicated by a probe into its bookkeeping methods by the Alabama Legislature a few years ago. Dr. Washington never desired political office, but with the rise of the referee system in the South during McKinley's administration, his advice was eagerly sought. During Roosevelt's administration his political power was at its zenith and he is credited with naming white and colored men for federal positions. W. T. Vernon owed his appointment as Register of the Treasury to Dr. Washington's endorsement, though it was the insistence of the late Bishop Abraham Grant that won him over. He was opposed to the discharge of the colored troops stationed at Brownville, and so advised President Roosevelt. When the latter became convinced that many colored people were opposed to the nomination of Taft in 1908, because the latter as Roosevelt's Secretary of War, had upheld the discharge of the troops, Charles W. Anderson was named as Collector of Internal Revenue for one of the New York city districts and Ralph W. Tyler for Auditor of the Navy. Tyler hailed from Ohio, and former Senator Foraker, who championed the cause of the discharged soldiers, dubbed Dr. Washington as "the third Senator from Ohio." Dr. Washington was named as a member of the commission to visit Liberia in 1908, but he declined, and Emmett J. Scott was appointed. Though his headquarters were at Tuskegee, he maintained an office near Times Square, New York city. His summer home was on Long Island. He had visited Europe several times and was the author of numerous books and magazine articles. The deceased educator never visited a place without inquiring as to how the race was getting along, whether in the "Black Belt" of the South or in a city he was equally solicitous. Dr. Washington was making a tour through Delaware on the day that "Jack" Johnson beat "Jim" Jeffries. He was traveling up the State in a special train with a party of friends, and all were interested in the outcome of the fight. When one of the trainmen said "Jack" had won, Dr. Washington merely said, "Ah, indeed!" Another sidelight into his racial interest was indicated in 1905 in the first fight that Maryland had against disfranchisement. Dr. Washington summoned Councilman Harry S. Cummings, of Baltimore to New York for a conference regarding the situation. He asked what could he do to help out and when informed that he better not come into Maryland to make any speeches against the amendment, he gave $500 to help defeat the measure. DR. WASHINGTON WELL KNOWN IN BALTIMORE Dr. Washington visited Baltimore a number of times. About twenty years ago he lectured at Brown Memorial Presbyterian Church,following which he was the luncheon guest of its pastor, the late Dr. Maltbie D. Babcock. Nearly ten years ago he presided over the sessions of the annual meeting of the National Negro Business League, which met here for three days. He spent a day in this city the same year, visiting schools and business places and lecturing at Sharp Street Memorial Church at night. He also delivered an address at the High School. On one of this visits to Baltimore, he had a brief interview with Cardinal Gibbons. The prelate and the educator had met once before on a train. The interview, which did not last long, was merely an exchange of courtesies. Dr. Washington's last visit to this city was last spring, when he delivered an address before the Health Congress. Thousands of persons crowded in and around Bethel Church to hear hlm. On the day that he last spoke here, Dr. Washington was met by a committee, which included Harry S. Cummings, Mason A. Hawkins, Dr. H. S. McCard, Dr. Ernest Lyon, John H. Murphy, Dr. T. S. DANETT J. SCOTT Hawkins and a representative of the Afro-American Ledger. He was the guest of Dr. Hawkins while in the city. That day he visited Miller's Wharf to look at the steamer Starlight and highly commended Captain Brown for his enterprise. He also spoke before the Patapsco Business League, at Elkridge and was the guest of C. C. Fitzgerald at dinner. Dr. Washington had a number of friends in this city. These included: Bishop John Hurst, Harry S. Cummings, Dr. Ernest Lyon, John H. Murphy, Harry T. Pratt and Gabriel D. Maddox. Mr. Maddox was at Tuskegee soon after it was first opened, and had charge of its first printing plant. "I well remember Tuskegee in its infancy," he says, "and know that he has changed a veritable wilderness into a city. His fine qualities are best appreciated by those who have been in intimate association with him. ROOSEVELT, VILLARD AND LOW AMONG HIS FRIENDS New York, Nov. 17.—Booker T. Washington was a frequent visitor to this city and had many friends here among both races. Bishop Walters, Charl-s W.Anderson, Fred. Moore, James C. Thomas, Philip A. Peyton, Lester Walton, George W. Harris, Bert A. Willilams and others were counted among his sincere friends among the race. Among prominent whites his death caused sorrow Among the tributes from the latter are: Oswald Garrison Villard, editor of the New York Evening Post—"In the death of Booker T. Washington the entire country suffers a grievous loss, because no other man, whit- or black, has b en so successful in interpreting one race to another." Seth Low, former Mayor and chairman of the Board of Trustees of Tuskegee Institute—"The country has lost a great man and the Negro race a great leader. When one remembers that Mr. Washington began his life as a slave one cannot fail to marvel at his achievements. His work at Tuskegee will be permanent, and I hope his friends will realize that they must stand by it now as loyally as they have done during his lifetime." Col. Theodore Roosevelt—"I am deeply grieved and shocked at the death of Dr. Booker T. Washington. He was one of the distinguished citizens of the United States, a man who rendered greater service to his own race than had ever been rendered by anyone else, and, in so doing, also rendered great service to the whole country. I mourn his loss and feel that one of the most useful citizens of our land has gone." DR. WASHINGTON'S Tuskegee, Ala., November 19.—Among those mentioned as successors of Dr. Booker T. Washington as head of Tuskegee Institute are Emmett J. Scott, for the past eighteen years private secretary and confidant of the deceased educator; Warren Logan, treasurer of the school and one of the first teachers there; W. H. Holtsclaw, principal of an industrial school at Utica, Miss.; Dr. Ainsworth, superintendent of supplies at Tuskegee, and Major Robert Russa Moton, commandant of cadets at Hampton Institute. FELIX B.

Hill Street 826 Dridn Hill Ave PORTER'S RISE TO BISHOP FAVORED Many Going to Philadelphia Urging His Elevation. NOW PASTOR AT NASHVILLE In Tennessee Dr. G. W. Porter is Known as One of Most Successful Financiers In A. M. E. Church, and This Has Made His Services Much Sought For—A Good Revivalist. Nashville, Tenn.—Paris, Tenn., has the distinction of furnishing to the African Methodist Episcopal church one of its strongest pastors and preachers, Rev. George Wellington Porter, D. D., who is now pastor of St. John's A. M. E. church and was one of the members of the last general conference, the Tennessee conference, which met Oct. 20. A little over forty-eight years ago he was born of African Methodist parents in Paris and received his common school and high school education in his native state and around the place where he was born. The finishing touch was received from Morris Brown college, in Atlanta, Ga. This was the beginning of an active life, for in 1800 he entered the ministry, joining the west Tennessee conference in his native home town, Paris. It was presided over by Bishop A. W. Wayman of Baltimore. Twenty-five years of active and successful work in the ministry are placed to his credit, and he is considered one of the leading preachers in the south. The Methodist ministry is a moving ministry, yet Dr. Porter has the distinction of filling only four charges in eighteen P. B. REV. G. W. PORTER. years. He spent five years in Clarksville, Tenn.; five years in Vicksburg, Miss.; three years in Avery chapel, Memphis and five years in St. John's A. M. E. church, Nashville, Tenn., bringing to the church many new converts and making improvements in every particular. For three years he was presiding elder of the Charksville district, but preferred the ministry in active pastorate. It was at his own request that he was returned to the pastorate where he has worked with the people. At the general conference which met in Wilmington, N. C., May, 1896, he was among the progressive delegates. It was his first time there, but he made a record for himself, and his worth and ability were recognized, and at every conference since he has been there giving the benefit of his ability and experience. When the general conference met in Chicago in 1903 he was one of the general secretaries and has been one since. Not only has he served on the episcopal committee in the general conference, but he has been on some of the strong committees in the body. In Tennessee Dr. Porter is known as one of the most successful financiers in the A. M. E. church, and this has made his services much sought for in various parts of the country. He has a strong and striking personality and is one of the best revivalists. During his stay in Memphis he conducted a revival for four weeks in Avery chapel and added 736 to the church, and these were all converted from the altar. Some time ago Dr. Porter purchased a home in Memphis, where his interesting family lives. His wife is a well trained woman, and the daughter, Miss Lela D. Porter, a graduate from Straight University, New Orleans, and Ulden university, Nashville. Tenn., is a teacher in the Memphis public schools. What the future has in store for Dr. Porter is largely expected to develop in 1916 at the general conference in Philadelphia. He has been mentioned for the episcopacy and has many friends who think that he should be a bishop in the A. M. E. church and will go to Philadelphia with that in view. In racial matters Dr. Porter is found in the front. He is a member of the southern sociological conference, which is becoming a great factor in the southern questions, and is also striving to deal with the members of the race and not to talk about them. If the race is to be discussed the conference brings into its sessions as members men and women of the race to have their say. BOY SCOUT NEWS The inclement weather had little effect upon the attendance of the Cary class for boys at Waters A.M. E. Sunday School Sunday last. The lesson periods in this class are of such unusual interest and the friendship so cordial that nearly every Sunday in the year boys from various sections of the city are found there. It is one of the largest and best attended boys' classes in East Baltimore. PERSONAL JOTTINGS Mr. Joseph Kelso, a former Brigade fellow has been converted to the scout movement so effectively that he is now a very prominent figure in our scout circles. Master Richard Brownly is some hiker! Master Elmer Cohen held a bunch of boys spellbound recently by "eating fire" and performing other tricks of magic. "Twas funny! Master William Butler set two "glue traps" for his classmates but was the first to get caught in his own trap. Soap and water did the rest. Master Alonzo Davis has entered the basketball world. Basketball and Master James E. Bishop have shook hands. Mr. Irving King is yet chorister of the Metropolitan Junior League. He can now handle the "music stick" like a professor. He sings "beartone." Master John Nichols, who has been quite ill is able to jump the "high bob" again. At a recent meeting of troop No. 2, Scouts Frank Jones, James Brown and Richard Brownly of troop 3 were welcome visitors. Master Albert Hoffman has recently become a member of Troop No. 2 Boy Scouts. Boy Scouts of Bethel A. M. E. Church were organized Wednesday November 10, by Scout Master Louis Holley. We had a good number of boys to be with us. I hope that everybody who has a boy will let him be with us at Bethel. If they live near there. Scout Master Louis Holey, reporter! The Boy Scouts of Macedonia Church, Troop No. 1, had a good meeting Tuesday last. All the officers were present. All the boys know the scout oath and know a good bit of first aid work and also the scout sign. We also had the senashore signal code. We are going to have a Boy Scout Rally soon and hope all the Boy Scouts will be with us. Boy Scouts of Grace A. M. E. Church, Troop No. 1, Catonsville, Md. The movement of Boy Scouts in this vicinity has been conceived and made a part of each and every boy of this troop. These boys' gave very successful entertainment Tuesday, November 2, of which all are proud. In fact the boys are doing well and expect to have their uniforms soon. The boys have observed their duty. They know the Scout oath and the Scout laws which they were assigned, in a short space of time. The Boy Scouts of Troop No. 2 gave an entertainment November 15. The Camp Fire Girls of Waters Chapel were present also. Mr. James Burns, and Wayman Banks gave excellent service in helping to keep order and at the door. Those that missed it missed part of their lives. Joseph Kelso, Scout Commander, reporter. POMONKEY HAPPENINGS Pomonkey, Md., November 18.

Mrs. Alexandria Queen, who has been ill for several weeks, is now recovering. Mrs. Betty Branson, an old resident here who has been suffering several months has the sympathy of friends and relatives. Mr. McClinton Marshal who spent several weeks here with friends and relatives has returned to Pennsylvania. SUFFERS PARALYTIC STROKE Chestertown, Md., Nov. 18.—Mr. Philip Henson, while attending a celebration of Knights of Pythias was stricken with paralysis of the right side. Many friends have call- ed to see him,both white and colored, among whom were Dr. C. H. Fowler of Baltimore, Mrs. Annie Forrester of Centerville and Mrs. Lillian Smith of Rock Hill. Mr. Henson is a prominent fraternity man and highly esteemed in all circles. While his condition is very critical there is a chance for recovery. AFRO-AMERICAN BUSINESS DIRECTOR Winfield Richardson PAPERHANGER Mrs. Lula Henson was called away Wednesday to Baltimore to attend the funeral of her sister, Mrs. Laura Augustus. While there her mother. Mrs. Mary L. Richardson died suddenly from the shock of the death of her daughter. The condition of Mrs. Henson's husband was so serious that she could not remain to her mother's funeral. Uncle Sam's birthday at Bethel A. M. E.

NORTH AND SOUTH HONOR LATE ROBERT CURTIS OGDEN Ex-President Taft Heads Committee For Memorial Building at Hampton. Hampton. Va.-North and south are joining heartily in raising a fund of $100,000 for the Robert Curtis Ogden Memorial Auditorium, which will soon be built at the Hampton (Va.) institute. William Howard Taft, chairman of the Ogden memorial committee, which is composed of public spirited men and women representing the best interests of the south and north, has issued through the New York office of the executive secretary. Sydney D. Frissell, the following statement: It is proposed by many of his friends now to erect a suitable memorial to Mr. Robert C. Ogden, whose services to this country justify a fitting testimonial to a man well called "an unofficial statesman" because of the new and unique character of his work for education in the south. The southern education board was constituted under his leadership, and its work marked a new epoch of national progress. It brought together men and women of the north and east and south and west who were able to further greatly the education of the OGDEN AUDITORIUM AS IT WILL BE. south, and especially of the white race. For forty years Mr. Ogden had been a trustee of Hampton institute and for twenty years the president of its trustees. The record of Mr. Ogden's life work makes it clear that Hampton institute is the most fitting place for a permanent memorial. There is urgent need there for a large auditorium, and already a few of his friends have subscribed one-third of the $100,000 necessary for the erection of such a building. This would be particularly suitable to the memory of Mr. Ogden. Other officers of the Ogden memorial committee are: Edwin A. Alderman, Miss Ellen F. Mason, William Jay Schieffelin and Mrs. John Markoe, vice chairman; George Post Featherly, secretary; and Clarence H. Kesby, 170 Broadway, New York, treasurer. The national character of the committee is shown by the number of states represented - Alabama, Arkansas, Connecticut, Georgia, Massachusetts, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Virginia and the District of Columbia. The Ogden memorial jat Hampton institute will furnish an opportunity to many men and women to show their appreciation of "Mr. Ogden's sagacious leadership and most gracious character, which was so instinct with hospitality."
