The BOOKER T. WASHINGTON Papers what sort of stuff are they made?'' and ''Will the results pay for the outlay?'' As we judge boys and girls in this country, they do not seem to have the ''stuff'' in them, but considering aB things, such judgment at this time Is manifestly unfair to them. So let me simply repeat that the results and indications are such as to warrant that they be helped a while longer. The boys and the girls also are assigned to some useful trade at which they work certain hours during the day in connection with their academic studies. ~ think the summer vacation should be spent partly in study and partly In work here at the institution. We are arranging to have them work half a day and study the other half under one of the instructors who will remain here during the summer. This arrangement Is satisfactory to them. ~ regret to say that we have no means at our disposal from which we could aid other Porto Rican students. There Is only one other boy from there here and he comes on the same terms as do the American boys. Of course the same opportunities would be given to other young Porto Ricans as are given to students from the states. This young Porto Rican not supported by the Government provision Is named Antonio GuiD5 and is wed known to Dr. Barbosa,6 of San Juan, as a worthy young man. He has made a good record here in every way and Is deserving of help if only some means of assisting him could be found. ~ enclose herewith a Circular of Information regarding the admission of students to Tuskegee. Trusting that ~ have answered ad questions satisfactorily and have given you such infor~nation as will be helpful, ~ am, Yours very truly, Booker T. Washington TLpS Con. o8zA BTW Papers DLC.
