I owe more to his tact, wisdom, and hard work than I can describe.
The main executive work of the school, whether I am at Tuskegee or not, centres in what we call the executive council.

This council meets twice a week, and is composed of the nine persons who are at the head of the nine departments of the school.

For example: Mrs.B.K.Bruce, the Lady Principal, the widow of the late ex-senator Bruce, is a member of the council, and represents in it all that pertains to the life of the girls at the school.

In addition to the executive council there is a financial committee of six, that meets every week and decides upon the expenditures for the week.

Once a month, and sometimes oftener, there is a general meeting of all the instructors.
