The page presentation framework of the Booker T. 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 South at the tune, but it did not reach the columns of the class of white papers to which ~ am referring. ~ might have been over-cautious in the matter in my strong desire to protect the interests of the race as best ~ can at ail times. ~ realize fully, and have always said so on every proper occasion, that there are two lines of work to ibe] accomplished. One is in the direction of agitation, calling attention to wrongs and the condemnation of these wrongs. Along with this there should go efforts in the direction of education, more] and religious teaching and helping of the race to strengthen itself in material and financial directions. There is a wide field in all this for every man of the race who wants to give service. One other subject. ~ very much hope that you wiD begin now and keep it up until the summer, the stirring up of our people in that section of the country in regard to the League meeting. ~ find that we have taken a great burden upon our shoulders in carrying the League so far away from the center of its most active membership. Several people have already criticised me for this. Can you not keep the matter of Ethel League constantly before the people of the Indian Territory, Arkansas, Kansas and Missouri in a way to give us the largest and most successful meeting that we have ever had. Also remember that if you have any more fireworks to put off, please be sure to light them all and let them explode thoroughly before we get out into that territory. ~ see that the fire which you lighted over the head of our friend, Governor Hock, was pretty hard to put out. You came very nearly starting in to extinguish it too late. By this mail ~ send you a little book called ''Putting the Most Into Life,'' which ~ thought you might like to have in your home. Yours truly, Booker T. Washington TLpS Con. 3~7 BTW Papers DLC. Edward Wallis Hoch ~ ~ 849-~ 925 ~ was governor of Kansas from ~ 905 to ~ gag. 51~8
