254 BOARD OF AGRICULTURE. [Pub. Doc. 



Dr. Goodell. My friends, we have listened this morn- 

 ing to a discussion of the relations of a single one of our 

 industries to one section of our country, the New England 

 States. We are now coming to the discussion of a theme 

 very much wider, which is the relation of a people, our 

 colored citizens, not to a single industry, but to all pro- 

 ductive industries ; not to a single section, but to our whole 

 country. I have the pleasure of introducing Dr. Booker T. 

 Washington, the principal of the Tuskegee Normal and 

 Industrial Institute.
