Budget your time bOys-RecentIv a
discussion arose as to how the present
high school student uses his time after
school. One person said the present
youngsters do not budget their time
and as result they have no real fun
after school. For instance, if boy
empties the waste basket at a regular
time every day, whenever possible, or
if he practices going to the store using
the back stairs and taking out the rub
Dish on his way out, he saves much
time for football or his other after
school sports. Nowadays, unfortu-
nately, what we learn in school is not
being applied to every day life. So,
boys, budget your time and have a
certain time for every chore.
First, Not Their Goal; But Just In
cidental-Monroe Trotter was the first
colored student to win a Phi Beta
Kappa key at Harvard University.
This distinction was due to his schol-
astic brilliance. - Charles Houston,

member of the staff of the Harvard
Law Review, a distinction awarded to
the highest ranking law school stu
dents at Harvard Law School
Hosea Smith of New Bedford, now a
chemical engineer in Vermont. was the
first colored student to win four full
scholarships at NIT. He paid moth

sters, be the first to do something
worthwhile.
Washington Belle Leaves Boston
After Short Visit-Miss Bessie L..
Jones, Registered Nurse, daughter of
Charles I. Jones of Boston, has just
returned to her home in Washington,
d. c., where she is in private practise
as a registered nurse. Miss Jones is
a graduate of Freedman's Hospital,
Washington, D. c., class of 1887, and
since that time has been actively en-
gagged in her profession. Her father
invited his daughter to Boston for a
two weeks visit which she has enjoyed
to the utmost under his personal guild
ance. She visited Cambridge, Mass,
where she looked in on both Harvard
and Technology as well as the Rad
cliffe campus. She was royalty enter
tanned at many social affairs including
one given by Miss Thelma Williams,
R.N., of Boston City Hospital and an
other by Madame Joseph Enslow,
beautician. Miss Jones' grace and
charm won everybody's approval and
good will. We here in Boston are
sorry this nice lady is not to remain
here with her father permanently but
Miss Jones has formed such an attach
ment for Washington that right now
Boston is in second place in her affec-
tons since she is heart free and only
smiles at gentlemen.
tuberculosis Guild Services at St.
Cyprians Well Attended-T Boston
tuberculosis Association Guild held it's
Annual Church Service at St. Cypri-
ans Episcopal Church, Rev. Leroy
Ferguson, pastor, on Sunday evening,
Oct. Is. The impressive services were
enhanced by the appearance of about
forty-two colored ladies dressed in the
white uniforms of red cross nurses
who wore large white wells which
oSi NSu 90 hSetu IONtiS. however, Jne
vested choir of forty males under the
of Elwyn Barrow, chorister
and organist, almost divided the inter-
ent of all. Mrs. Hayward, R.N., white
sponsor of the guild, told of the work
done by the guild after she had been
introduced by Mrs. Chandler, the first
president approximately ten years
ago. The new president, Mts. Hazel
Mccoy was unable to be present, but
Mrs. Chandler showed her old time
ability as mistress of ceremonies.
DR.. John Hall was just in back of the
guild group and he appeared thrilled
at the appearance of the nationally
known guild which happens to be the
first one of it's kind formed by colored
women in this country. Later in the
Parish House, moving pictures were
shown and we were sorry to learn that
three times as many colored people in
the United States have tuberculosis
as white persons. Snap out of it, you
Youngsters, keep well.
