washington then presented the president in the following words this Is a great day for the gee normal and industrial institute too great to be described by words we haie gathered to hear but one voice to see but one face in presenting our guest to he students teachers and citizens I 1 must not omit to express gratitude felt by the people of the tuskegee and by the people of both races in this section of alabama for the honor which has been conferred upon them that the chief magistrate of our beloved republic of people deemed it good and wise to include tuskegee institute in his trip through the south and spend a few hours seeing the work we are doing here brings to the heart of every man and woman of our race in thia country a degree of encouragement and inspiration which it Is impossible for any american citizen not of our race fully to appreciate my friends without further words flemine I 1 have the pleasure and the honor of presenting to you the president of the united states hon th eodore roosevelt was given an ovation as le rose to speak he paid toabe ToJ be white population as dejl as to the black it Is of the utmost importance that the negro be encouraged to make himself a citizen of the highest type of usefulness it Is to the Interest ot the white people that this policy conscientiously be pursued pui sued and to the interest of the colored people ahat apy dearly realie ahat they have opportunities for economic de here in the south not now offered elsewhere within the last twenty years the industrial operations of the south have increased so tremendously that there Is a scarcity or labor almost everywhere go that it Is the part of wisdom for all who wish the prosperity of the south to help the negro to become in tho highest degree useful to himself and therefore to the community in which he lives the south has always depended and now depends chiefly upon her native population for her work therefore in view of the scarcity not only of common labor but of skilled labor it becomes doubly important to train every available man to be of the utmost use by developing his intelligence his and his capacity for conscientious effort hence the work of the begee normal and industrial institute is a matter of the highest practical importance to both the white man and the black man and well worth the support of both races alike in the south and in the north your fifteen hundred students are not only being educated in head and heart but also trained to industrial efficiency tor from the beginning tuskegee Tusk egeo has placed especial emphasis upon the training of men and women in agriculture mechanics and household duties training in these three fundamental directions does not embrace all that th negro or any other race needs ant it does cover in a very large degree the field in which the negro can at present do most for himself and be most helpful to hia white neighbors every black man who leaves this institution ution is better able to do mechanical or industrial work adds by so much to the wealth of the whole community and benefits all people in the community the professional and mercantile avenues bo success are overcrowded tor the present the best chance of success awaits the intelligent worker at some mechanical trade or on a farm tor this man will almost achieve industrial independence I 1 ample aBed but not the least surprised to learn ahat many among the women and men trained at find immediate employment as leaders and workers among their own people and that their services are generally sought by white people tor various kinds of industrial work the demand being much greater than the supply viewed from any angle ignorance is the costliest cost liest crop that can be raised in any part of this union every dollar put into the education of either white man or black man irr head in hands and in heart yields rich dividends to the entire community merely from the economic standpoint it is of the utmost consequence to all our citizens that institutions such as this at tuskegee should be a success but there are other and even higher reasons that entitle it to our support in the interest of humanity and of self protection every white man in america no matter where he lives should try to help the negro to help himself it is in the interest and for the protection of the white man to seo that the negro Is educated it is not only the duty of the white man but it is to his interest to see that the negro Is protected in property in life and in his legal rights every time a law is broken every individual in the community has the moral tone of his life lowered lawlessness in the united states Is not confined tany one section lunching lynching lyn ching Is not confined to any one section and there is perhaps no body of american citizens who have deserved GO well of the entire american people as the public men the publicists the clergymen the countless thousands of high mind ed private citizens who have done such heroic work in the south in arousing public opinion against lawlessness in all its forms and especially against lunching lynching lyn ching I 1 very earnestly hope that their example will count in the north as well as in the south for there are just as great be barrod against in one region of our country as in an other though they are not in all places the same evils these men not merely serve a useful purpose in doing the particular task to which they set themselves but deserve a lift to the cause of good citizenship throughout the union 1 I heartily appreciate what you have done at tuskegee and I 1 am sure you will not grudge my saying that it could not possibly have been done save for the loyal support you have received from the white people round about for during the 25 years ot effort to educate the black men here in the i of a white community of intel and culture there has never been an outbreak between the races or any difficulty of any kind all honor Is due to the white men of alabama to the white men of tuskegee for what they have done and right here let me say thai it in any community a between the races arises over any matter infinitely the feest way out is to have a prompt frank and full conference and consultation between representatives of the wise coolheaded cool headed men among tho whites and the wise decent cool beaded colored men such a conference will always tend to bring about a better understanding and will be a great help all around hitherto I 1 have spoken chiefly of the obligations existing on the present white men now let you remember on the othor band that no help can permanently avail you save as you yourselves develop for self help you colored rien and women edu catch at tuskegee must by precept and example lead your fellows toward sober industrious law abiding lives you are in honor bound to wio hands in enforcing the lawa and to war against all crimo and especially against crime by men by your own race for the heaviest wrong done by the criminal is the wrong to hiis own race you mint teach the people ot your race that they must scrupulously observe any contract into which they jn bod faith enter no matter whether H is hard to keep or not it you have money secure homes and lead clean decent modest lives you will win the respect of your neighbors of both races let each man strive to excel hla fellows only by rendering substantial service lo 10 the community in which he lives the people have many difficulties to pass through but these difficulties vl be surmounted if only the policy of reason and common sense Is pursued you have made real and great progress according to the census the colored people of this country own and pay taxes on something like worth of property and bavo blotted out over GO per cent of the illiteracy what you have done in the past Is an indication of what you will be able to accomplish in the future under wise leadership moral and industrial education Is what is most needed in order that this progress may continue the race cannot expect to do everything at once it must learn 0 o wait and bide its time to prove itself worthy by showing us possession of perseverance of thrift of belt control the destiny of the race is chiefly in its own hands and must be worked out patiently and persistently along these lines remember also that the white man who can be of most use to the colored man Is that colored mans neighbor it is the southern people themselves who must and can solve the difficulties that exist in the south of course what help the people of the reet ot abe union can give them must and will be gladly and cheerfully given the hope of advancement of the colored man in the south lies in his steady common sense efforts to improve his moral and material condition and to work in harmony with the white man in ing the commonwealth the future of the sonoh now depends upon the people of both races living up to hia principle and letter of the laws of their several states and working out both races ont as races but as law abiding american citizens MUNICIPAL OWNERSHIP declared by to be
