glass of water several times and not
receiving 1t he called the waiter again
and asked for certain dessert and
a glass of water. The waiter brought
the dessert, but still refused to bring
the much asked for beverage.
The editor refused to pay for the
dessert as charged in the bill, as he

courts. At this juncture the editor
paid for what be had eaten and left
the dessert untouched upon the table
and walked out of the establishment

Wnere she matrlculated Tor college,
While waiting the opening Of the Nc
Donnall College Of Phrenology and
Psychology, In Washington, Miss Mi
mott familiarlzed herself with the
course Of study which she was to pur-
sue, SO that on entering the school she
had full grasp of the subject to be
taught
Being of naturally bright mind and
anxious to excel In her studies, Miss
Minott. the only colored girl in the
school, finished the course in less than
the usual time and graduated with
honors, receiving the degrees of Ph. B.
and M. s. In April. 1899. She after
ward took postgraduate course at
the famous Fowler and Wells Insti-
tute of Phrenology and Anthropology
in New York and perfected herself In
the five branches of mental sciences
viz, phrenology, anthropology, psy'
chology, physiognomy and physiology,
which she now teaches. She Is also
proficient in anatomy and hygiene.
Upon graduating from the Fowler
and Wells institute Nine. Minott re-
ceived the badge Of membership and
was made a fellow of the American
Institute of Phrenology, distinction
held by no other woman Of our race
in the United States. 1t is the verdict
Of those who have thorough knowl-
edge Of the science that the study OF
1t Is essential to both men and women,
as 1t enables each to better understand
the peculiarities Uf the other and also
to know how to help other people. 1t
is Of paramount Importance to parents
in the proper training Of their children.
and especially in assisting them in the
right choice Of a trade or profession.
Students Have Double Advantages.
Nine. Minott Is principal of the Clio
School Of Mental Sciences and takes
an active part in every department Of
the work as we'll as directs the rules
and regulations Of the Clio studio
home in West One Hundred and Thir-
ty-sixth street, which Is closely aft1l-
lated with the American Institute Of
Phrenology. Thus students Of the
Clio school receive every reasonable
consideration from tho college while
pursuing their studies. Private, class
and correspondence courses are given
In, all the branches of the science by
Nine. Minott personally. The courses
are graded according to the three types
of temperaments recognized in modern
philosophy, which insures the uniform
success of each scholar.
The school does not draw the color
line. Both white and colored persons
are admitted on the same terms. Many
Of the graduates and students who be-
fore taking the course Of study were
scarcely making expenses are now
! holding good paying positions. and
many are engaged in business for
themselves. The cut shows some Of
the honor graduates Of the class of
1910, with Nine. Minott in the center.
In establishing the Clio school studio
