The BOOKER T. WASHINGTON Papers James in Liberia. Mr. Camphor informed me a few days ago that James has not been to see him as yet. One of our students, who has recently returned from Birmingham informed me that he saw James while there. Benjamin Heals recently left school without permission, and, ~ learn, that he is in Birmingham also. He did not apply at the office for an excuse. Charles W. Williams has not as yet registered and entered upon his school duties. He refuses to register. He recently left school without permission and says that he went to Montgomery to spend a few days. When he returned to school ~ had both Mr. Scott and Mr. Logan to speak to him, but he continues to refuse to register and enter upon his school duties. Since these young men are so unsatisfactory it seems to me that it would be a good idea for some arrangements to be made so that they could be sent back to their homes in Liberia. ~ thought you might care to write Miss Stokes regarding them. I have frequently spoken to these young men and tried to impress upon them the importance of taking advantage of what the school offered them here and endeavor to make a good record in every respect. Mr. Scott, Mr. Logan and Major Ramsey have done what they could to encourage the young men to remain here and do weD, but they have not taken heed of the advice given them. Bishop I. B. Scott has also been written to regarding their unsatisfactory record here. ~ am glad to say, however, that Charles Wardah is and has been making a satisfactory record and seems to appreciate what the school is doing for him. Yours very truly, J. H.
