• Mr. Washington represents in Negro thought the
  old attitude of adjustment and submission but
  adjustment at such a peculiar time as to make his

  program naturally takes an economic cast,
  becoming a gospel of Work and Money to such an
  extent as apparently almost completely to
  overshadow the higher aims of life.
