Washington papers is designed to provide researchers worldwide with searchable access to the thousands of pages comprising the fourteen volumes, most of which are out of print. Adapted from the National Academy Press's Open Book framework, this framework allows searching down to the page level, provides sorting of search results chronologically, enables easy navigation across multiple volumes, and allows page-by-page local printing (via PDF) of every page.

The BOOKER T. WASHINGTON Papers thing fit to eat. ~ consider it a reflection upon our own ''Tuskegee the pride of the Swift Growing South.'' It is a reflection upon our own Principal, ''the Moses of his race,'' and the pride of every Tuskegee boy's and girl's heart. It ~ not the ''quantity'' but the ''quality'' of the food. The last but not the least thing I wish to mention is that the habit of extravagance is taught in the case of charging for every phase of athletic sport. ~ believe that when a visiting team comes from a distance the student body should and would give ample support. But in case of games between classes and the foot race and potato race where there are no expenses incurtrJed it is unreasonable to charge. I have known boys to spend their last penny to get into these games and borrow more. Now, Mr. Washington, I sincerely hope that you will not fee! that ~ am in any way trying to dictate the policy of the institution but simply have tried to remind you of some things which ~ doubted seriously that you knew. ~ am not particularly finding fault nor seeing the dark side of things. Hoping you will see it in the light as ~ have tried to place it, ~ amsincerte]ly And truly yours, Garfield McCaster TLS Con. sop BIW Papers DLC. From Charles H. Fearing Tuskegee Institute, Alabama February c, 19~4 Dear Mr. Washington: ~ have your note with reference to Davidson's work in the office: I have given him a number of letters to answer and also have dictated to him from time to time. I shalD continue to do so and do whatever ~ can to help him. May I venture the following suggestions with reference to his work; ~ make them for the reason that I believe they will help him: Davidson IS weak as to his spelling. ~ believe if you could get him to concentrate more upon this feature it would help him build the foundation which he needs. 432
