Several years in the past, when the Tuskegee regular and business Institute changed into pretty small, with just a few dozen college students and two or three teachers. Booker T. Washington started out the exercise of giving what have been known as Sunday night talks to the scholars and teachers. These addresses were usually added in a conversational tone and much within the equal way that he would talk to his personal kids around a fireside. As the group progressively grew from year to year, friends advised that these addresses need to be preserved, and for that reason all through the past few years they had been steno graphically reported. In these addresses, he attempted to talk directly to the hearts of his students, instructors, and traffic concerning the troubles and questions that confront them in each day life in the South. The maximum encouraging issue in reference to the making of these addresses has been the close attention which the scholars, instructors, traffic, and the hearty manner wherein they have spoken to him of the help that they have obtained from them. During the past four years afterwards, these addresses ha published in the school paper each week. This paper, The Tuskegee Student, offered wide circulation among our graduates and others in the South, so that in talking to our students on Sunday evening. He felt to a degree that he was speaking to a large proportion of the colored people in the South. If there is anything in these addresses which will be of interest or service to a still wider audience, he felt it have been more than repaid for any effort that he has put forth in connecting with them.
