UP FROM SLAVERY (Chapter 3) by Booker T. Washington
'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. She was a "Yankee" woman who knew just where to look for dirt. ... 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

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.
