I think the pig is my favourite animal. Few things are
more satisfactory to me than a high-grade Berkshire or Poland
China pig.
Games I care little for. I have never seen a game of football. In
cards I do not know one card from another. A game of
old-fashioned marbles with my two boys, once in a while, is all I
care for in this direction. I suppose I would care for games now
if I had had any time in my youth to give to them, but that was
not possible.
Chapter XVI. Europe
In 1893 I was married to Miss Margaret James Murray, a native of
Mississippi, and a graduate of Fisk University, in Nashville,
Tenn., who had come to Tuskegee as a teacher several years
before, and at the time we were married was filling the position
of Lady Principal. Not only is Mrs. Washington completely one
with me in the work directly connected with the school, relieving
me of many burdens and perplexities, but aside from her work on
the school grounds, she carries on a mothers' meeting in the town
of Tuskegee, and a plantation work among the women, children, and
men who live in a settlement connected with a large plantation
about eight miles from Tuskegee. Both the mothers' meeting and
the plantation work are carried on, not only with a view to
helping those who are directly reached, but also for the purpose
of furnishing object-lessons in these two kinds of work that may
be followed by our students when they go out into the world for
their own life-work.
