Negroes coming there wereplentiful. Usually they wanted to live the Ideal Life. They had a callto preach--and the girls wanted to be music-teachers. The test was simple and severe: would they and could they do one usefulpiece of work well? Booker sat and waited, not knowing that his patience was being put tothe test. Then Miss Priscilla, in a hard, Neill Burgess voice, "guessed" that theadjoining recitation-room needed sweeping and dusting. She handed Bookera broom and dust-cloth, motioned to t...he room, and went away. Oho! Little did she know her lad. The colored boy smiled tohimself--sweeping and dusting were his specialties--he had learned thetrade from a Yankee woman from Vermont! He smiled. Then he swept that room--moved every chair, the table, the desk. Hedusted each piece of furniture four times. He polished each rung andfollowed around the baseboard on hands and knees. Miss Priscilla came back--pushed the table around and saw at once thatthe dirt had not been concealed beneath it.
