morning, with the afternoons devoted to
work among the poor, and the afflicted
TO taking little sunshine into the life
OF the distressed, to teaching them how
they might live better, how to observe
hygienic rules and be helpful even in
the midst of personal suffering
OvertaXlng her strength, Miss Kicks
was once more compelled TO return to
her home and recuperate. In 1894 she
entered Freedmen's Hospital, Washing
ton. with the pioneer class that gradu-
ated under that eminent surgeon, Dr.
Daniel Williams, She had asked ad-
mission TO the training class of one of
the Cleveland hospitals, but the usual
refusal met her request: however, in
1890 she returned TO the city with a
diploma from a reputable school and
proof that colored woman could be a
trained nurse and as competent as her
Anglo Saxon sister, and ere long re-
ceived regular employment from the
Cleveland physicians Miss Kicks
worked very successfully in the capa-
city of private nurse for nearly seven
wears, but realizing that there were other
fields in which the professional nurse
might gain renown, determined to test
institutional work, and after going
| through the ordeal OF the HameS al
| Jacksonville, Fla, accepted an offer to
take charge of Douglass Hospital, Kan
sas City, Kans. During the time spent
there Miss Kicks did many things to
improve the condition and service oi
the hospital and by her energy and zeal
in all good work greatly endeared her
self to the citizens of both Kansas and
Missouri. With sadness they heard Ot
her call to Tuskegee to accept similar
position. but believing that it was in al
probability, to be her best interest to &C
cept bade her a sincere Godspeed.
! At Tuskegee, as elsewhere, Mis-:
Kicks has met with success, and hei
early efforts, her struggles in the mids
of obstacles that would have caused
some to fall by the wayside, shoulC
prove valuable lesson to many of oul
young people today. The backbone O
success is patient perseverance.

These words force themselves upon
us as we look back twenty years and
realize the magnificent spirit that pro-
NOTED and supported the opening of the
kindergarten for colored children.
That morning there were gathered
together true disciples of our leader
Friedrich Frobel, whose beautiful doc
trine of love is so perfectly demonstrated
in his teachings.
Long before the day of opening, it had
been the desire of Miss Blow to estab-
lish kindergartens for the benefit of col
ored children.
To her all childhood appealed To
her all children had minds, feelings,
souls that could be influenced and di-
reCted to the development of character
the ennobling of manhood. Associated
with her in this desire was Mrs. Hub
bard, whose songs and games touched
within the hearts of these little children
responsive chord and today these
same children illustrate the affinity of
pure souls.
The kindergarten was opened with
Miss Laura Fisher (now supervisor of
Boston kindergartens) as director. Miss
Pavey, of Shields kindergarten, was as

At the age of fifteen life began to
have a larger meaning for her than
heretofore. and her aims developed rap
idly within her inner consciousness.
Unfolding her plans to devoted
mother to whom must be given all credit
and praise for her future success, the
young Girl found that they did not com
eide with that mothers ideas since their
execution would require absence from
home and life among strangers at this
early period.
Her great desire was for an education
that would fit her for a successful life
and this could not be obtained without
numerous struggles and sacrifices. Sue
ceeding finally in entering Oberlin Col
lrge she felt that at last her ambitions
we're to be realized, but protracted Ill
ness broke into this arrangement.
On recovery, through the efforts OF the
Rev Sterling Brown, of Washington
she entered the Lucy Webb Hayes Dea-
coness School. This offered a two
years normal course and Miss Kicks
was. the first young lady of color ad,
mltted.

SKILLED ARTISANS NEEDED.

The drift of manufacturing into spe l cialties has brought employers to fee very keenly the want of skilled artisans, and also is demonstrating the | inability of workmen to comprehend and encourage real merit in the me chanic. These conditions are injurious in many ways to the advancement of labor and to the welfare of the country and there is urgent need of agencies that can assist in correcting these evil ] influences.
 It was not that the manufacturer of specialtiese does not demand the best of
 man as a true and skilled mechanic. Our speciality shops would be still bet ter fitted to help sustain supremacy of
 our country in everything pertaining to the betterment of mankind, by having thoroughly trained mechanics, compe- tent to skilfully adapt themselves to the various lines of any one calling,
 rather than being capatle of perform
 ing only one line of work. The know
 ledge that they can do but one certain
 thing in any line of manufacture, dis
 courages and kills the ambition of men,
 as well as a wholesome respect for
 their calling. Workmen of little or no
 ambition can never excel. This is a
 matter of everyday observation. Our
 country is suffering keenly from this
 lack of ambition in it's working classes,
 This is growing worse day by day and
 some steps should be taken to check its progress.
 We now have two factors which make n will make the sacrifice of working for small wages in order to learn trade
 One lies in speciality manufacturers not affording opportunities for making broadly skilled mechanics, or at least such as can feel that they are not tied 10 experience in one line of some speciality only. Present inducements are not sufficient to prevent the major ity of poor boys accepting laboring work which generally gives them double what they can earn as apprenti- ces. In fact, some men can often se- cure higher wages at common laboring than they can by following some branch of speciality manufacture which they have learned. When young men see this 1t requires strong inducements to encourage them to faithfully serve out an apprenticeship. The second factor lies in the mechanical lines of work not receiving the social recognition they de serve, and hence many young men seek clerical occupations in order that they may have cleaner hands and clothes, although they may receive far less wages. Let conditions be created whereby young men may know that they can learn to be so highly skilled in knowing how to do more than one thing that they will be in demand at wages greatly in advance of that they can secure at common labor or in clerical occupations, and a far greater number will be desirous of giving up their younger years to learn trade than is now the case.--T.
