people themselves is tha>t for $1,- ^
?r^ 00 made last week by Jesse Binga,
president of the Binga State Qr
?, Baitk, ChlC5go. In re5ppnWT;o h(
a query as to the motive which
; <pj
?r- -?actuated his gift, Mr. Binga saicf:
- "You ask why I subscribed a n?
- . thousand dollars to the Hampton ^
T" Tuskegee iiindowment Fund. T _
.?? ? Hcan
say at the start that ipy only
regret is thaU could not coi^ ^
tribute a hundred thousand dol- QL
lars to sucn a -worthy cause." ~
"Both Hampton and Tuskegfee V(
Booker^ T. Washington. Dr. ^
Washington was the pioneer in
the industrial development of
our race. He saw-the vision and
- for a quarter of a century dom
-1iityted;the racial thoughTof the ^
nation. -As the result our people
obtained a firm industrial grasp^
in the South and were in a po- ^
___ sition to compete- economical^
with'therest-efHie American nation.

"When the Great War occur- . 0]
red and 4mr_jna$ion entered it ^
our people, as the result of Dr.
Washington's work could have ^
been mechanics; they could have jj.
those schools in behaif of thena- ^
tion, either at home or abroad, ol
They could be ample protection
against the purpose of foreign gj
economic invasion, the grasping
of the American _dollar on Amer
lean soil, but the spending of the ?
American dollar on foreign^
shores." - ?
"Hampton and Tuskegee are pi
ever protecting influences a- (^
gainst, the helplessness, lack of|fae
training rendres our race when -00
in competition with the unskilled ^
hordes that come- in by way of..
Ellis Island. It is to ,the inter- us
