FEBRUARY · I 9 I 4 ~ note that he does not write shorthand. This Is not surprising for the reason that it is a very difficult matter for any person to acquire the ability to write shorthand within the space of three or four months. If he could confine himself to more regular study of this subject, it would perhaps enable him within the next two or three months to take slow dictation. He is very careless. For example, in copying simple matter he makes errors that are inexcusable for the reason that he does not give close enough attention to what he is doing. I hope you will take these suggestions in the spirit that ~ make them. ~ am interested in his development and make them only for that reason. Yours truly, Chas. H. Fealing Acting Secretary TLS Con. 653 BTW Papers DLC. To Aclelia Hirshfield [Tuskegee, Ala.] February 3, 19~4 Dear Madam: The Association for the Advancement of the Negro Is a society with headquarters at go Fifth Avenue, New York. Its main business so far as ~ understand it, is to agitate in favor of equal rights for colored people. AD the girls in our school are taught to! cook. A portion of our graduates become teachers of cooking. Very few, ~ fear, take positions as cooks In private families. One reason Is the competition of other employments ir1 which the pay is better. Another is that parents do not, as a rule, like to have their daughters work as servants. They complain that the associations which young girls make in positions of that kind are not good. It is true that most of the girls who graduate here do, as a matter of fact, become housewives. 433
