Cecil Teachers
Lyceunn News

Miss Jeanne Welty, one of Ameri-
cas- outstanding theatrical artists,
will appear at the Elkton High
School auditorium, Tuesday evening,
November 10, 1916, in her newest
monodrama, Nellie BLY, of the
World Miss Welty will be present
ed by the Cecil County Teachers AS
sociation, sponsors of the four pro-
gram lyceum for the county. This un-
usual performance is first on the sche
dule of the lyceum, and Miss Welty' s
return is in response to demands of
those who witnessed her acting last
year when she thrilled the several
hundred persons in the audience as
she enacted the highpoints in the life
Of Theodosia Burr.
Miss Welty not only acts out her
plays tshe alone appears upon the
stage), but she also writes her own
scripts. does her own costuming, and
serves as her. own director. Countfess
hours of research are necessary in or
der that she be accurate i'll every de-
tail of manners, modes and character.
Her efforts result in one of the most
amazing productions the American
stage can offer-the one-ckaracter,
three-act drama.
The teachers group is especially
Droud that it was able to schedule
Miss Welty's return engagement. The
curtain will rise ON this latest Welty
production at 8:15 p. m. Those desir-
ing to secure admissions are asked to
contact any of the Cecil County
teachers.
Jeanne Welty is one of those rare
actresses who has never lost enthu-
siasm sor her work. She approaches
each new production as if it were
her first. Her first, incidentally, was
at the incredible age of seven, when
she put on a play with neighborhood
youngsters on the porch of the family
home in Lima, Ohio. The idea was
hers and so was tke finished produc-
tion; she had adapted her play from
a childs story which was favorite
with her. Fond parents were required
to pay ten cents admission, proceeds
to go to the local Day Nursery.
At the nth moment-that is to say,
curtain time, had there been cur
tain-the rest of tie cast got bad
case of stage fright. Jeanne gathered
them around her in the family par
lor. out of earshot of the audience,
and gave them pep" talk. She cit
ed the box-office take" all of which
she would have to return if the play
wasn't put on T.. and think of those
poor kids down at the Day Nursery
and weren't they ashamed OF
themselves, etc. She says she even
cried & little as she warmed to her
subject. But although the tears were
real, Jeanne coulnd't persuade her
cast to go through with it.
This may have been providential,
for the monodrama was born at that
crucial moment Very well, said
Jeanne, she'd do the whole play her
self-and she did. And from that
youthful and tenuous beginning she
has developed into one of the most
accomplished and rewarding young
actresses of the day.

l0W-C0ST HOMES BUILT
FOR $500 PER UNIT

WASHINGTON, June 20.
(ANP)-The house committee on
education saw pictorial demon
stration that low-cost homes can be
constructed for as low as $500 per
unit.
That demonstration was shown
to the committee by S. C. Anderson,
an agriculture and vocational teach
er in Pender county, N. c., who
explained that the homes were built
by student labor before the war.
The same homes in New York state
would cost at least $4,000 per unit,
one congressman remarked.
Anderson, who has taught in Pen
der county for 26 years, pointed out
that the material used to build the
low cost homes for the poor Of his
county could not be purchased any
more
They're saving those for Mr.
Wyatt's $4,000 veterans low-cost
homes," commented one committee
member.
Anderson teaches about 70 boys
between the ages of IA and Is the
arts of farm living and other voca-
tional subjects. His students began
constructing the homes for the poor

Rep. Graham A. Bardon of New

said that homes built in this manner

Anderson for his work. He was also

Bez1ueen The 2ize4
By Dean Gordon B. Hancock@

Only few years ago the degreed
Negro was rare specimen. Today
degreed Negroes are teeming
throughout the country. Every June
there are filing out of our best col
leges and universities Negro grad
yates by hundreds and even thou
sands. There live today many who
thought it could not be done but it
is beingv done-and on a grand
scale.
But it must not be imagined that
Negro education is gaining on that
of the white man; for with every
increased facility for Negro educa-
tion-or to be more meticulous, edu-
cation among Negroes - the in
crease in facilities of white educa-
ton is far more improved. The
south has seen to it that if there is
an increase of tens for Negroes
there must be increase of hundreds
for whites, with the result that the
intellectual chasm is still widening,
quantitatively speaking.
Not until this chasm closes will
the south profit most from it's edus
cational adventures. The studied at
tempts of certain southerners to
mend these matters gives greatest
hope of better tomorrow in race
relations. Matters are improving
however slowly. There is one great
danger in degrees, or to those boast
ing these degrees. When degrees
are made substitute for the ole
homely virtues of honesty, thrift
industry, righteousness, sympathy
for the unfortunate, feeling OF
honest pride in that which is lowly
if honorable, dependableness, will
ingness to do any kind Of honest
work rather than beg and be de-
pendent = they become liabilities
since they cannot be substituted fol
the homely virtues.
In other words degrees are fine
supplements to character but not
substitute therefor. Herein lies the
great danger to the current grad
uate who may waive adherence tt
the homely virtues in an attempt tx
make some short cut to success.
A homely sage once remarked
that there was enough good advice
living loose around in the world tC
save three of four worlds like this
Right he was. So it is safe to say WE
have more than enough degreed per
sons to save our sin-smitten worlC
if the persons with those degrees
had just plain good character, tha
the older Negroes in their unde
greed innocense tried to inculcate IL
their young.
