To the Editor of the Southern Workman Tuskegee, Feb. 19, 183 Editor Southern Workman: When you heard from us last, I think we had just moved into our new building. Everything now is beginning to appear quite home-like in our new hall. So far in the term about ~30 students have entered. Some of our classes have, of necessity, been too large. We have students from almost every part of the State, and even Georgia is represented. 2~6
