YOUNG FOLKS TAUGHT TO
APPRECIATE VALUE OF ART
Hamptonians Learn That II Has Prae-
tieai Bearing on Making Life
Better and Swsstsr.

"As practical as any of the trade
courses, yet in no way lacking In the
development of artistic ability, is the
art course at Hampton institute" says
. writer in the Southern Workman.
This was demonstrated in an exhibit
Of work done by the boys classes In
drawing recently on view in the pic
ture room of the library. Boys as well
as girls are being trained to use their
taste and artistic ability in the every
day matters with which some people
think art has nothing to do.
Here was a drawing showing a
clothes yard-not ordinarily thing of
beauty-screened by Towering shrubs,
the white posts covered with luxuriant
English ivy. Another drawing showed
an effective scheme of planting ever
greens about a light stucco house. An
unsightly wall was made Interesting
by the skillful placing Of shrubs, while
a house of ugly architecture was paint
ed an unobtrusive color, its outlines
being hidden by trees and shrubs.
Zone learned from the exhibit that
In the clean country where there are
plenty of trees one may have a white
house with green blinds. but in a
smoky town the house must be painted
brown or some other subdued color.
Also houses must harmonic with each
other. If ones neighbors have brown
and green houses, an olive gray is a
good color for ones own. Fruit trees
combine three advantag es-beauty in
blossom time, shade in summer and
fruit in season. Pecan and walnut
trees also serve the double purpose of
shade and fruit. An ice wagon, green
with white lettering, was cool and
refreshing sight.
"a collection Of designs made by the
day school girls in their art course was
also displayed. The main object of this
course is to develop art appreciation
and consequent good taste in dress and
Interior decorations. The exhibit in

BUSY SOCIAL WORKER.
Miss Uxenia B. Scott Will Promote
Welfare Of Houston's People.

Miss Uxenia 3. Scott Will Promote
Welfare Of Houston's People.
DR.. George E. Haynes, professor of
social science at Fisk university and
executive secretary Of the National
League on Urban Conditions Among
Colored People, has received word that
Miss Uxenia b. Scott, one Of the public
schoolteachers of Houston, Tex, has
just been appointed by the Houston
social service bureau as district secre-
tary of the Neighborhood House For
Colored People. This appointment
scores another success for the social
service training center conducted by
the cooperation Of the Bethlehem
House of the Woman's Missionary
council, NJ. E. Church South, Fisk uni
versity and the National League on Ur-
ban Conditions Among Negroes. She
received part Of her training at Nash
vile on one Of the scholarships offered
by the National Urban league
Miss Scott finished the Houston high
school and entered Fisk university in
1909. She pursued the four year course
in education, receiving a degree OF
d. A. in education in 1918. During her
college course she took special cleo
tives in social science and social serv-
ice. During one of her summer vaca-
lions in Nashville she was volunteer
supervisor of the first playground con-
Quoted in that city for colored children.
The following year Miss Scott was
awarded one Of the scholarships in so
cial service offered at Nashville by the
TTy-ho
Among Negroes Upon graduation at
Fisk, she went to Houston to teach in
the public schools, but kept up her in
terest in social work and developed
quite an interest in playground work
among the colored children Of that
city, supervising a free playground al
most every summer and promoting
such work during the school year.
Her interest grew with this volunteer
work SO that last summer she attended
the summer school Of the Chicago
School of Civics and Philanthropy, CIV
ing special attention to playground and
recreation work in order to better fit
herself for the service she was giving
to her home city. Her appointment as
the first colored worker under the mu-
nicipal social service bureau Of Hous-
ton. Tex, comes as a result of her
training and her promise for the fu-
ture.
DR.. Haynes has commended her zeal
for such work, and when the announce
ment Of her appointment came said
that he regarded her selection as a
bright promise Of social betterment
among colored people in the progress
sive southwestern metropolis, because
Miss Scott showed from the time of
her undergraduate days up to the pres
ent fine spirit for community service.

AT our last meeting of the Empire

voted to take as our object the EN-
pire Friendly Shelter For Friendless

ers, 4 faithful few have been carrying
the burden In the heat OF the day,
often struggling against great odds.
But the management does not despair.
1t feels that II 1t can only bridge the
chasm which often lies between sue
cess and failure, that this potential
factor, the saving of our girls, must
receive the consideration and support
1t deserves.
"Other nationalities have the same
problem with which to deal. and they
are bending all their energies toward
its solution. The success Of races Is
not dependent upon superficial gains
or Advancement, but upon the moral
strength of its women. Now that you
are turning the last leaf of the old
year 1916 and the first leaf of the new
year add one page to your credit as
benefactresses to some charitable en-
terprise. and know of none more de-
serving or moro In need Of your SYM

"In view of the high cost OF food,
fuel, etc, appeal to your pride as
clubwomen to remember this home
when you are supplying your wants.

Saviour 1T is more blessed to give
than to receive" Think Of the Joy we
can distribute. think Of the hearts we

we may save.
