HUGH l.. SCOTT, PACIFJCATOR~

-
It is agreeable to find that it has occurred
to a good many newspapers as it has to this
paper that General Hugh L. Scott, the man who
conquered the Piute recalcitrants by kindness,
would be a useful man III Europe where every
body has for months been seeing red and where
calmness and reasonableness seem to be quail
ties that no one in authority possesses.
Oh course the Generals task was infinitesi-
mally small by comparison with what would
have been the undertaking Of the man Or men
who might have encompassed the work Of pre-
venting the outbreak of hostilities in Europe.
But usually the qualities which bring success
IN a small enterprise are the same as those
which achieve it in a wider field and General
Scott has the qualities needed to auell rising
trouble.
Here is the way the Philadelphia Record
views the same matter:
eff the chancelleries of Europe Contained
more men like General Hugh l.. Scott, combin-
ing a wise diplomacy with an expert military
knowledge, they might have avoided the present
wicked and needless war. The Generals tactful
handling Of some recalcitrant Piutes may not
seem a large matter, but it showed that knou1-
edge of human nature, that ability to look at =
question from the standpoint of an opponent as
we'll as from your own, that constitutes true
vision and real craftsmanship. It is not diff
cult to imagine that if Count Berchtold had
approached Servia on the question of ayeugine
the SeraJeVo murders IN the same spirit that
General Scott showed in dealing With the Tn.
dams the matter might have been adiusted
without plunging nearly all Of Europe into war
But the Count wanted to infict a humiliatino
punishment upon Servia, not to deal Justly uith
her In the obscurity OF his retirement he nroh-
ably realizes now that his brand of statesman.

The advertisement of the contest

Madame E. Azalia Hackley has
not only been the leading vocal
artistic of her race for many years,
but she has been its authority on
voice culture.
Madame Hackley prefers 10 be
known as musical missionary"
Although financially dependent on
her voice, she has used her income
from this source toward developing
and correcting vocal conditions
among colored people, not only at
various places where her work has
called her. but she has also invaded
territories seemingly hopeless in
musical appreciation and succeeded
in arousing real enthusiasm and
study, especially among the young
people.
She believes that proper study of
voice culture will help colored
children spiritually, morally, and
physically, and that this study will
also cause general knowledge of
other refining studies. The study
of voice culture will correct the
tenoency to tuberculosis aud othet
diseases because it teaches the value
of fresh air, etc.
When she enters a town for a
professional engagement, she visits
every colored school to give lessons
to the students. AS many as 1000
have heen taught at a time, and in
one day between the hours of 9 and
8, over 5000 were taught. From
April I, 1912, to April 80. 1913,
90 900 were instructed in this way.
Madame Hackley has considered
no sacrifice of time or money too
great for the accomplishment of the
task she has undertaken. She has
originated the Hackley foreign
scholarship, which has assisted two
young men in their musical st,diiee
several students in this country.
