APRIL · ~ 9 ~ ~ It was at first thought that Dr. Washington contemplated the erection of an institution similar to Tuskegee Institute on his newly acquired :Long Island tract, but it is not now thought that he will carry out such a project, as it is not large enough for an institution of any size.

His salary constitutes 75
