FEBRUARY · ~ 89Q to complete the arrangements for the building. The plans for it are being drawn in New York. We are very anxious to have a full account of the proceedings published in pamphlet form and Commissioner Harris4 has written that he thinks his department can aid in publishing them. I don't know if it will be of advantage to have the Bureau of Education publish the proceedings or not. Hastily yours, Booker T. Washington TLS BTW Folder ViHaI.

From Margaret James Murray [Tuskegee, Ala.] Feb. 27 92 Mr. Washington I wish that you would speak to the gentlemen teachers in regard to their actions at Ala. Hall. Almost all at least too many of them stand in the halls ~or] on the porch and spend their time talking to the girls. It not only looks badly but it injures the girls and does not benefit. The teachers (ladies) and girls also are speaking of it arid they feel as I do. Mr. Greens the painter even went so far as to ask for the company of one of the girls. All almost all of them should be spoken to and this conduct should be stopped. A good deal of it is really disgusting and foolish and ~ am sure that a hint to these men will be sufficient. Respectfully M. J. Murray ALS Con. 949 BTW Papers DLC. ~ John C. Green taught house and carriage painting from ~ 892 to ~ 9 ~ 2. 221
