Washington of Tuskegee Institute by Lord Gray of the British South Africa Companu to visit South Africa and make a study of the recial conditions on British Territory and report to the company plans for bettering the educational, morai, and industrial conditions of the people; but as it would take him away from the in tute for some time he has declined the offer.
