improving of the teaching and of other things as may be
necessary.

2. If committee makes a second visit, see to what extent the
suggestions of the previous visit have been carried out.

REPORT

After each visit a written report by the committee covering
all of the above shall be sent to Principal Washington.

To all the graduates of the Institute Mr. Washington sent a circular
letter on the first of each year in which frequently he told them of
the progress that had been made by the school during the year in
improvements, number of students enrolled, etc., and asked them in
turn to answer a list of questions about their life and work, or
sometimes in such letters he merely wished them success and gave them
some practical advice. The 1913 letter which follows is an example of
the latter:

_Tuskegee Institute, Alabama,_
_January 1, 1913._

_Dear Mr. (or Miss) Blank:_

I take this opportunity to send you greetings, to inquire
how you are getting along, and to express the hope that in
every way you are prospering. If, however, you are having
discouragements, I trust that you are meeting them bravely.
If you have difficulties, or are laboring under
disadvantages, use them as stepping-stones to success.

I again call your attention to the importance of keeping in
touch with the Institute. Keeping your address on file with
us and sending a report of your work will assist in doing
