  Booker Taliaferro Washington (April 5, 1856 - November 14, 1915) was an American educator, author, orator, and adviser to several presidents of the United States. Between 1890 and 1915, Washington was the dominant leader in the African American community and of the contemporary black elite. Washington was from the last generation of black American leaders born into slavery and became the leading voice of the former slaves and their descendants. They were newly oppressed in the South by disenfranchisement and the Jim Crow discriminatory laws enacted in the post-Reconstruction Southern states in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
  THE CULTIVATION OF STABLE HABITS: I am going to speak with you a few minutes this evening upon the matter of stability. I want you to understand when you start out in school, that no individual can accomplish anything unless he means to stick to what he undertakes.

  The Turn of the Screw by Henry James is a haunting psychological ghost story that blurs the line between reality and imagination. The novella centers on a young governess who is hired to care for two orphaned children at a remote English estate. As she begins to witness ghostly apparitions and strange behavior, she becomes convinced that the children are being haunted by the spirits of two former servants. But is what she sees real — or a projection of her own fears and desires?Told through a chilling frame narrative, The Turn of the Screw is a masterpiece of ambiguity and suspense. James skillfully leaves readers questioning the narrator's reliability and the nature of evil itself. With its rich prose, atmospheric setting, and eerie tension, this novella has captivated and unsettled audiences for over a century, making it one of the most influential ghost stories in literature.

  BOOK THE SECOND: BIRDS OF A FEATHER: The school at which young Charley Hexam had first learned from a book the streets being, for pupils of his degree, the great Preparatory Establishment in which very much that is never unlearned is learned without and before book was a miserable loft in an unsavoury yard. Its atmosphere was oppressive and disagreeable; it was crowded, noisy, and confusing; half the pupils dropped asleep, or fell into a state of waking stupefaction; the other half kept them in either condition by maintaining a monotonous droning noise, as if they were performing, out of time and tune, on a ruder sort of bagpipe.
