UP FROM SLAVERY (Chapter 9) by Booker T. Washington
As soon as the plans were drawn for the new building, the students began digging out the earth where the foundations were to be laid, working after the regular classes were over... I noted with satisfaction that a sentiment in favour of work was gaining ground. After a few weeks of hard work the foundations were ready, and a day was appointed for the laying of the corner-stone.
UP FROM SLAVERY (Chapter 8) by Booker T. Washington
All these ideas and needs crowded themselves upon us with a seriousness that seemed well-nigh overwhelming...We had only the little old shanty and the abandoned church which the good coloured people of the town of Tuskegee had kindly loaned us for the accommodation of the classes. ... we saw that our efforts were reaching, to only a partial degree, the actual needs of the people whom we wanted to lift up through the medium of the students whom we should educate and send out as leaders.

'I swept the recitation-room three times. Then I got a dusting-cloth and dusted it four times. All the woodwork around the walls, every bench, table, and desk, I went over four times with my dusting-cloth. .....I reported to the head teacher.

When she was unable to find one bit of dirt on the floor, or a particle of dust on any of the furniture, she ... remarked, "I guess you will do to enter this institution." -B. T. Washington
