MRS. WARREN LOGAN.

Mrs. Warren Logan, whose maiden name was Adella Hunt, was
born in a Georgia village after the close of the Civil War.
When asked for this sketch, she said: "There is little to
tell, as my busy life has been without romantic event. I was
not born a slave, nor in a log cabin. To tell the truth, I
got my education by no greater hardship than hard work,
which I regard as exceedingly healthful."

It is known that she has an inheritance of blood, tradition
and history of which any American woman might be proud.

Her early education was of a private nature. In 1881 she was
graduated from Atlanta University as a bright member of one
of its brightest classes.

Two years of teaching in an American Missionary School in a
South Georgia town, where she was also a city missionary,
prepared her for more advanced work, which opened to her at
Tuskegee, Ala.

In 1883 Miss Hunt joined Mr. Washington, Olivia Davidson,
Warren Logan and the handful of teachers who were the
originators of the now famous Industrial School.

From the first she fitted into the activities and spirit of
the school and became Miss Davidson's right hand helper. She
succeeded to the position of Lady Principal when Miss
Davidson became Mrs. Booker T. Washington. In this position
Miss Hunt emphasized the academic side of the school and
also urged the physical development of the girls. Her own
line of teaching was the normal training of student
teachers. Her services were constantly in demand for Peabody
and other teachers' institutes in Georgia and Alabama.

In 1888 Miss Hunt was married to Warren Logan, treasurer of
the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute. Since that
time she has ordered her household, written a little, read
much, completed the Chautauqua Course, and kept abreast with
the times. While she has given her best thought to her
husband and children, she has kept in touch with the school
and has lent a hand to the Woman's Club.

In these days of specialists among physicians and of specialists among
students of social science it seems rather presumptuous for a teacher
to attempt any formal discussion of causes and remedies for the high
death rate among Negroes in the cities of the South. A few
suggestions, however, may serve to draw more
