BLACK SCHOOLGIRL OF 10

The proud wearer Of two gold med
ais from the New York board of edu
cation for merit In study and attend
snce in the primary department of
public school 157 is Mrs. Martha Har-
mon, who was born in slavery in Ken
lucky seventy years ago.
For four years this schoolgirl has
been learning her three Rs, and she
takes great pride in the tokens she
has received showing how diligent her
work has been and how in all that
time she never missed school and was
late only once and then only three min
utes.
When she questioned the principal.
and the teachers they thought she was
getting information for one of her
family They gave her the facts as to
enrolling and answered the timid ques-
ton she finally put as to the age re.
quirement of pupils.
They had no idea she meant herself
when they told her that the only
qualification necessary was a desire
for education. Then she astonished
them by asking that her name he put

So she was put in the first class Of
the elementary department, and she
has followed the course steadily since,
being promoted with the rest OF her
class and showing real proficiency In
her studies, though the teachers had
expected to indulge her, thinking that
the long disuse of her mental faeul-
ties might have dulled them.
But instead of tagging she led.
That's why she got the gold medal for
her work. And her sense of punctual-
ity was on par. In the worst storms
she put on a heavy. coat and old fash
toned mittens and trotted to school
with her books under her arm. She is
absolutely unconscious of the fact that
she is doing anything unusual. She
doesn't think that at her age she has
outlived her usefulness.
