Regeneration By Legislation
Compulsion Makes Hypocrites and
Not Converts.

An ominous sign of the times is the
apparently widespread disposition to
shift responsibility upon the govern
ment A former chief justice of Con
necticut, in an address, saw this dis
position in the vast number of things
which American citizens had been
commanded to do, or prohibited froin
doing. by regulative and restrictive
enactments, and concluded with this
significant remark I'VE have not
yet reached the condition of the an
cient Peruvians, whose daily lives
were infinitely regulated by govern
mental authority, but we are on a
stream which flows that way"
That honesty in a nation must rest
upon individual character and that re-
generation must begin with the indi-
vidual, seems to be lost sight of. The
sole talk of the political agitator, ana
too often of the moral uplifter, is OF
reform by legislation.

The work for girls at Hampton leads
to the important occupations of home
making and teaching. When a girl en-
ters Hampton institute she has the
opportunity of receiving thorough
training in domestic science. The
girls work daily for 12 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 in the work
slass. The mental and moral train,
ing, which the year of combined work
and study gives, makes it one of the
most valuable years of the course.
The working day for the girls is short
er than for the boys, but girl may
earn from SIS to SIS month. This
enables her to be entirely self-sup-
porting during her first year in school,
and to accumulate a balance toward
defraying the expenses of the second
year. A girl in the work class needs
very little money besides her entrance
fee and first months board. This
course is advised for all new girls re-
gardless of their ability to pay their
way in the day school.

Rabbi Airsch. Chicago:

Rabbi Hirsch, Chicago:
''The best safeguard against drunk
enness is that drinking should be ell
joyed openly. The saloon in America
is frequented solely by men, and a GER
tain stigma attaches to those who are
seen there. The worst thing in Amer
fcan social life is the separation of the
sexes. In Germany. where whole fam
flies are in the habit of drinking to-
gether in places of public resort,
where the wife accompanies the hus-
band as matter of course, excess lie
not found. and the tone of the German
cafes is as high morally as that of the
German homes"

When the authorities of the Calhoun
school decided to add story to the
Armstrong-Slater Memorial Trade
school, the student tradesmen at
tackled 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 a social center for
the boys. Contracts were awarded
to the Trade Schools departments and
student tradesmen did the construc-
ton work. Today the building stands
completed. 1t is known as Clarke hall
1t 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
PiSsSi oIi uStule5 TGdllZG the DullQ-
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 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 well 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.

Charles S. Osborne of Boston, a col
bred porter employed by the Oakland
Motor Car company, has just finished
a portrait of Cardinal O'Connell, 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 time, about
two hours day when there is day
light, to the practicing of his favorte
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
studio as well, and while the light is

Ing.
Cardinal O'Connell's portrait, which
Is done in oil, was painted from re-
cent photograph by well known Bos-
ton photographer, and is 20 by 27
inches. The carved and painted frame
is about four feet high and is an ex-
cellent representation of the old Flo
rentine art, as is the hand carved ped
estal on which it rests. In the cen
ter 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

borne is triumph over difficulties,
for practically all of the carving was

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 painter. He used to draw
in the sand with pointed sticks and oc-
casionally procured a little crayon.
Feeling that there was larger oppor-
tunity 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 go 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 a 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 a rest of two weeks he
intends to begin work called Star
of Bethlehem" which he hopes to
have on exhibition by Christmas.
