girls work daily for IL months in the
laundry and in the boarding depart
ments under the supervision Of expert
enced teachers, and carry on their
academic studies In the evening the
same as the boys who are Ii the work
class. The mental and moral train
ing, which the year Of combined work
and study gives, makes 1t one of the
most valuable years Of the course.

| when the authorities of the Calhoun
school decided to add story to the
Armstrong-Slater Memorial Trade
school, the student tradesmen at.
lacked with enthusiasm the laborious
task Of raising the heavy roof and put.
ting on the second story. Then came
the tedious days devoted to finishing
the interior work. There was always
the Joy Of doing successfully tasks
generally considered beyond the reach
OF tradesmen in the training.
Again the call came to do some
building which would require skill,
patience, and endurance. 1t was the
erection of a two-story brick build
Ing to be used as social center for
the boys. Contracts were awarded
10 the Trade Schools departments and
student tradesmen did the construc-
ton work. To-day the building stands
completed. 1t is known as Clarke hall.
IT Is used by the Young Mems Chris
tlan association. To appreciate the
meaning Of these three examples of
construction work done by the Hamp-
ton tradesmen, one must see the COM
pletad structures and realize the build
Ing problems which the young negro
and Indian tradesmen met and success
fully solved.
While construction work calls for
ability to read working drawings and
follow detailed specifications, the de-
mands made by repair problems are In
many instances even more taxing. To
make a repair quickly, skillfully, and
economically, requires unusual ability.
Hampton institute is indeed an indus
trial village in which there is constant
demand for men who can do good re-
pair and construction work
Hampton aims to fit young men and
women to do we'll and In an uncom-
mon way the common tasks of life.
Students are taught to handle their
tasks like skilled workmen. They
have for their work an excellent equip
ment and they are expected and re-
quired to take the best possible care Of
the schools property. They receive
financial credit for their work and they
are required to keep a strict account
Of all that they earn and spend during
the years OF their training at Hampton.

o,ed porter, employed by the Oakland
! Motor Car company. has just finished
portrait of Cardinal sHConnell, which
IN many ways proves the ability of the
artist The picture and the wood
carving in the frame that encloses it,
and the pedestal on which it stands,
required eight weeks to finish.
The accomplishment Is the more
striking in that Mr.. Osborne can de-
vote only part of his spare Cine, about
TWO hours day when there is day
\ Nght, to the practicing of his favorite
. recreation and prospective life work.
When his duties as porter are over at
five o'clock in the afternoon he ha-
stems to his little room, which is a
studio as we'll, and while the light is
4 good paints or does charcoal draw
Ing.
Cardinal O'Connell's portrait, which
Is done in oil, was painted from re-
cent photograph by we'll known Bos-
ton photographer, and is 20 by 81
inches. The carved and painted frame
Is about four feet high and Is an ex-
eelient representation Of the old Flo
rentine art, as is the hand carved ped
estal on which It rests. In the CEN
fer of the woodwork above the picture
Is miniature reproduction of the
Nativity" and on either side in the
carved replica of Florentine cathedral
windows Is an angel, one holding a
harp and the other a bugle. On the
base of the frame is carved a wreath
Of red roses, harmonizing with the car
dinal's cape. The work of Mr.. o.
borne is a triumph over difficulties,
for practically all Of the carving was
done with a jackknife.
Mr.. Osborne was born in Savannah,
Ga in 1870, and spent the first 20
years of his life in the South. He
worked with carpenters and learned
panelling and moulding, but all the
while he fostered a strong desire to
become a painter. He used to draw
in the sand with pointed sticks and &C.
casionally procured little crayon.
Feeling that there was larger oppor-
tunty in the North, he came to Boston
In 1891, and while working as a por.
ter went to the evening school Of the
Boston Art club. There he received
instruction in charcoal drawing from
Ernest Major.
Later he studied water colors un-
der Miss Agnes Leavitt, an artist in
Copley square. For several years after
that he kept up his artistic endeavors
alone, money not being very plentiful.
He disposed OF quite a number OF
paintings in this period, and with the
proceeds he was enable to 60 to the
drawing school of Eric Pape In 1911,
studying there three years. Much of
his spare time has been spent in visit
Ing art exhibitions and in the art de-
partment of the Boston city library.
Mr.. Osborne has sold number OF
outdoor sketches and portraits done
from life. He considers his best work
TO be the "Oriental Dancing Girl"
from life, a picture which took him
six months to complete and which Is
now on exhibition at the Boston City
club. After rest Of two weeks he
Intends to begin a work called Star
of Bethlehem" which he hopes to
have on exhibition by Christmas.

macaroni; barley, 1884 acres, emmer
and speltz, 7,341 acres; fax 12,248;
potatoes, 1871 acres; hay and forage,
6O,795 acres. The last four years
would show a great variation in the
proportion of acreages in the kind OF
crops above mentioned. Corn and po-
tatoes would show the greatest in
crease in number of acres grown.
Wheat would show a decrease OF from
one-half to three-fourths, or practically
the former macaroni acreage. The
raising of fax is on the decrease and
perhaps that of oats and barley. Only
173 acres Of alfalfa was reported. The
acreage If that crop has probably in
creased eight or ten-fold in the last
few years. The most interesting fact
is the growth of the practice of di
versifed farming in the last few years.

BENEFIT TO PROPERTY OWNERS

~ Acoh N'aN''
Department of Agriculture. says a
Washington dispatch, in Bulletin No.
1856, entitled Highway Bonds" have
the following to say about the benefit
of a well constructed highway to prop
erty owners whose property is not di-
rectly on the road to be improved:
In planning the highway system or
the main market roads, it will be
found necessary to omit many roads
the Improvement of which is greatly
desired by abutting land owners The
fact that such property holders must
pay a tax for the bond issue is only an
apparent injustice, for if the highway
system is well planned the entire
county will feel the benefit Of the i'm
provement. AS a rule, main market
roads reach the majority Of producing
areas, and when they are improved all
land values tend to increase.
The fact hat cities and larger towns
are frequently taxed for bond issues
to build highways outside of their own
limits Is sometimes made a point Of
debate in bond elections. 1t is argued
that because a large part of the coun-
ty wealth Is within the corporate
limit of such cities and towns, high
way bond money should also be used
to construct their streets. 1t is
even urged that the expenditure
should be made proportionate to the
assessed valuation within the city
limits. II the proceeds Of highway
bond issue were distributed in this
way, their purpose in many cases
would be defeated. The primary OBJ
jest of the county highway bond issue
Is to build county market roads and
not to improve city streets, although
a high percentage Of the assessed val
uation may be city property. 1t is
now known that the expenditure of
city taxes on country roads is a sound

features of state and for highways. In
Massachusetts, the city Of Boston pays
possibly 40 per cent of the total state
highway fund, but not a mile of state
aid highway has been built within its
limits. New York City also pays
about 60 per cen of the cost of the
state highway bonds. Some state
laws prohibit the expenditure of pro
ceeds of state highway bonds within
corporate limits of cities or towns.
The improvement of market road
results in improved marketing condi
tions which benefit the city. Mos
cities are essentially dependent upo,
the surrounding country for thei
prosperity and development. The d.
velopment of suburban property 70
residence purposes is also dependen
upon highway conditions and it is b.
coming evident yearly that whateve
makes for an increase in rural popul'
ton must be encouraged. Since til
introduction of motor traffic. countl
highways are used to an increasin
extent by city residents. In fact, tt
cost of maintaining many countl
highways has been greatly increase
by the presence of city-owned mot'
vehicles. The general advance
facilities for doing country bushes
from town headquarters when roa,
are improved is no inc~onsiderable ia
tor in the commercial life of the col
munity.
