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

"As practical as any Of tho trade
courses, yet in no way lacking in the
development Of artistic ability, u 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 20 do.
Here was a drawing showing q
clothes yard-not ordinarily q thing Of
beauty-screened by lowering shrubs,
the white posts covered with luxuriant
English Ivy. Another drawing showed
an effective scheme Of planting ever
green's about a light stucco house. An
unsightly wall was made Interesting
by the skillful placing Of shrubs, while
house Of ugly architecture was paint
ed an unobtrusive color, its outlines
being hidden by trees and shrubs.
"One 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. II ones neighbors have brown
and green houses, an olive gray is a
good color for ones own. Fruit trees
combine three advantages-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 th,'
day school girls in their art course was
also displayed. The main object of this
course is to develop art appreciati ton
and consequent good taste in dress and
interior decorations. The exhibit In
cluded designs for rugs and color
schemes for interiors, table and bu.
reau covers. rugs. curtains and cush
ions harmonizing with the walls. All
the designs showed a good sense OF
proportion and excellent taste in the
combination of colors."

piled art and Fenno q. Heath Is the
instructor in drawing.

his studies and made fine record in
both the grammar and high schools,
graduating with honors-
After his graduation from the high
school he entered the State university.
where as q student he made good by
the side Of some Of the most brilliant
students Of both races. He made many
friends during his college days.
Having decided on his course In life.
he entered the medical school at How
ard university, Washington, being
eager to get the best training possible.
He graduated In 1899 in a class OF
thirty-five. He was among the fortu-
nate In his class, because he was Sc
lected as an interne for Freedman's
hospital. This Is an honor which
comes only to a few and Is a coveted
honor, because 1t better prepares .
man for practical service. In this Ca
pacity he served for one year and
then returned to his home In Atchison
and took the state board examination.
which he passed successfully. His
worth and ability were soon recog-
nized, and he was selected As the
health ofiicer for Atchison county.
It was In 1903 that he decided to To-
cate In what IL destined to be the
greatest city in Kansas, Wichita. He
came with q reputation which he had
already made in his profession. and 1t
was not long before he had won the
confidence OF the people Of the entire
community. DR.. Brown Is now a dep
uty health of1cer for Sedgwick county.
in which the city OF Wichita is located.
In his work he Is often called into con-
sultation by the leaders Of both races
who regard his opinion As being Of
great value.
He Is ever ready to give bis time
and attention to matters for racial ad-
vancement. In society. in public meet
ings and that which means the train
ing Of the mind. helping the young
people to think, he is always counted
AZ one Of the best workers for their
good. He is one Of the organizers Of
the Interstate Literary association. the
largest organization Of its kind In this
part Of the United States.
The term OF office is only for one
year; hence It was only In keeping
with tho rules OF the organization that
Dr. Brown was allowed to retire. and
even then many expressed a desire to
have the rule changed During the
past year and under his adnilnistra-
ton much good has been accomplished
through DIR. Browns efforts He was
presented 4 handsome token Of esteem
by the association at the closing OF the
sociation. which meets in Kansas City
In December. 1917 Rumor has It In
this section Of the country that Dr..
Brown will soon lead Washington
belle to the marriage altar.

BUSY SOCIAL WORKER.

Miss uxsnia .. Scott Will Promote
Welfare Of housten'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, n. 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
1900. She pursued the four year course
in education, receiving a degree Of
3. A. in education in 1913. During her
college course she took special cleo
tives in social science and social serv-
ice. During one of her summer vaca-
tions 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
National League on Urban Conditions
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 q 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 q
bright promise Of social betterment
among colored people in the progress
sivs southwestern metropolis, because
Miss Scott showed from the time Of
her undergraduate days up to the pres
ent q flne spirit for community service.

Summer School

The Gardiner school committee has
unanimously voted to have a summer
school this summer, the same as in the
three past summers Due notice of the
opening date will be given. The commit
tee realizes that retrenchment this year
must be made, but the success of the
summer school in past years has been
such that the economy VIII be pr2cticed
along some ether line of educational work
The school as it has been run in Gar
diner might aptly be termed an oppor-
tunity school, for it enables pupils who
are behind in the work of the grades %
make it up during the summer and not
only this but it affords the same chance
for those who are well advanced to gain
the grade higher. That the work done in
this school is real work is evidenced by
the fact that not a single pupil who has
been once has been obliged to return.
In ether words, when through the medium
of the summer school they have regained
their standing in their class. they have
maintained it. 1t has also eliminated re
peaters'' and hence the advantage to both
pupil and class as a whole is obvious.
Gardiner is believed to be the first city
in the State to adopt the summer school
in connection with the public schools and
among the first in the country to do so.
The United States commission of educa-
ton has but recently advocated the idea.
All pupils wishing to enter the summer
school should present their enrolment
slips at the office of Supt. Chase next
Saturday between the hours of and II.
