Gen. Armstrong. — I see nothing to be done so hopeful as through intelligent agriculture, — the instruction given in schools like Tuskegee and Tougaloo, Talladega, Claflin, and like institutions. Much can be done through the influence of the men who go out from these schools. Mr. Booker T. Washington, among the foremost of his race, in my opinion, is ahead of us all in this matter. He has sent out from Tuskegee a circular to the farmers of Alabama in his neighborhood, giving them good advice about their crafts and ways of living. The graduates of these schools not only teach day-schools, but they take up the Sunday-school and temperance work. The old-time Negro preacher is apt to be against the progressive work of the – South ; but these young men and women, the latter as much as the former, secure the confidence and respect of both races. I have been twenty-two years in this work, and no complaint has come to me except of these old-timers. The chief remedy for many of the evils of Negro life is in industrial education. [PAGE 67]
