The BOOKER T. WASHINGTON Papers account of this school rally, described in the true language of a country correspondent. It was interesting to watch the expression on his face as he read down the long column of figures, which showed how, out of their small earnings, every one seemed to have contributed something to support the little school. Before he had finished, the tears came to his eyes, and he seemed more deeply touched than I had ever seen him. Such a man was Henry H. Rogers, as I have known him. He was one of the best and the greatest men I have ever met, and as it seems to me, one of the greatest men of his day and age, and he has left many lessons behind him which others can follow to their profit.
