Many requests have been made of me to write something of the story of my life. Until recently I have never given much consideration to these requests, for the reason that I have never thought that I had done enough in the world to warrant anything in the way of an autobiography; and I hope that my life work, by reason of my present age, lies more in the future than in the past.

Webber for valuable assistance rendered in connection with the preparation of this publication. BOOKER T. WASHINGTON.
