THE DEMAND FOR AMuSE-
MENT.

Man living in primitive times
!. was in direct contact with ma
! ture. He raised his own food.
| made his own clothes and built
chances of varying his occu-
patton throughout the day. All
!. his work was educational. He
+ had the stimulus of seeing a
piece of work begun and ended
. and of enjoying the fruits there
of. All this is in marked con-
|. trast with the life of the average
. factory worker. All those quail
ties which one adrires most in
!. man are deadened when he is
! compelled TO stand day after day
and week after week before

: comes but a part.
1t is during leisure rather than
during work time that character
! is formed. The basis of char
acter is the will, and at no time
. does this function of the mind
have so free a scope as during
recreation. X is then that all re-
. strant is removed and we do as
we will. The excellent effect of
. recreation on character is seen in
: children at play. Often for the .
first time they learn the meaning
of self restraint. They learn the
. significance of CO operation and
group action in those games re- :
. curing team work. At play the
. cheat is quickly discovered and .
punished with ostracism by his !
. fellows. Such object lessons in .
: the fundamentals Of morality are .
invaluable in the normal devel- :
. cPment of any child. After all,
character is acquired from the .

MUSKINGUM COLLEGE
HONORS Or. JAS. E. SHEPARD
DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF DIVINITY
CONFERRED UPON PRESIDENT
OF THE NATIONAL RELIGIOUS
TRAINING SCHOOL.
BY GEORGE f. KING.

BY GEORGE f. KING.
New Concord. Ohio. Especially "A
signal honor has been bestowed upon
one of the leading negroes in the coun-
try. Because of his eminent fitness
for the ministry and the effective work
he is accomplishing as founder and
president of the National Religious
Training school. Durham, N. c.,
Muskingum college of this place,
which has among its graduates some
OF the most noted theologs, scholars
and missionaries in the world and
has just finished the celebration of
its seventy-ffth anniversary, has con,
ferred upon Rev. James E. Shepard
the degree Of doctor of divinity. AL
though this institution is one of the
smaller colleges its standard is SO
high and its graduates such eminent
characters that 1t is recognized
throughout Christendom as great
institution of learning.
This act of the college is quite sig
nifcant because Doctor Shepard is
the only negro ever honored by this
college. Among the host of graduates
who are rendering their share for the
true uplift of humanity are the late
Doctor Harper, president of the Chi
cago university; Doctor Morehead,
dean of Xenia Theological seminary,
Xenia, Ohio; Doctor Lawrence, Hon.
w. j. Bryan's pastor; Doctor McClen-
ahan, pastor of the great Presbyterian
church, Pittsburg. Pa; DR.. Jesse John
son, an authority on church history
and apologetics, and such men as
Rev. j. Walter Light, who are con-
tributing to the spiritual and educa-
tional development of the negro
Graduates of this noted college will
be found in every section of the world
giving service for the true develop
ment of man and the redemption OF
heathens. 1t boasts of the fact that
55 per cent. of it's male graduates are
sither in the ministry or the mission
ary work of the world.
Because of the far-reaching infiu-
ence Of the school of Doctor Shepard
and meeting the peculiar religious ext
gencies of the negro people the above
honors were largely won by this prog
ressive Afro-American. Doctor Shep-
ard some years ago, gave up his pro-
fesslon as pharmacist, at which time
he was registered under the laws of
his state, to enter active Christian
work and today he is filling the place
of his father, the late Rev. DR.. Angus
tus Shepard who is regarded as one
of the ablest ministers in the race
and who has accomplished great work
for the religious, educational, social,
economic uplift of his race in North
Carolina and states contiguous to
same.
