"We have come," said the White Leaguer, "to remove the colored pupils. You will call your school to order." To which the principal replied: "You will permit me first to confer with my corps of associates." He was a trifle disconcerted. "Oh, certainly." The teachers gathered in the principal's private room.
The next morning after reaching Tuskegee I was piloted to the Principal's office and my recommendations requested. I was puzzled. I did not know what was wanted. I had not followed the usual routine and written for permission to enter as students are required to do, but had gone ahead, thinking the presentation of myself all that would be necessary.
In their opinion the awfulness of the situation had been adequately recognized by the teacher and signaled by the equally awful expedient of a visit to the Principal's office, the last resort in the case of the rarely occurring insubordinate boy.
The telegram, which was addressed to me, was from Martin. "Expect to arrive to-morrow evening. Staying until Wednesday afternoon. If not convenient wire Principal's House, King George's College." "To-morrow'?" "That means to-day," said Price. "The telegram came yesterday. Madame opened it and she told me to say " "Let me read her letter first," I said.

Groups of girls indignantly denied even the thought of such mischief. "I don't believe Miss Thompson would ever suspect us of any such thing," remarked Jessica to her friends. "Of course not, goose," replied Grace. "She knows us too well for that."
