Painful Memories
Of Brooklyn, NY.
Copying Pictures
Meant Punishment
BY Adam Sudetic, Pres.
- Detroit Lodge 519 -

A T THE AGE of six, Vlaho
Bukovac's parents en-
rolled him in grade school,
but, even as many youngsters
to this day, he didn't like the
idea of learning.
However, even at this ten
der age he showed great in
terest in art and loved to copy
pictures out Of text books. In
the childish process, he began
spelling books to such an ex-
tent that his teacher decided
to call his behavior to the at
tention of his father.
Acquainted with tn e
"sins" of his son, the elder
Bukovac decided to punish
the lad by putting him on a
"diet" - that of missing
out on one meal at the be-
ginning and still another if
things didn't work out
right.
Failing in this, the father
had one more punishment
trick up his sleeve "a
greeting with an olive branch
on his sons naked skin"
The mother used more SUBJ
tie ways to get her son in line;
she smuggled food to him
from time to time, talked to
him in gentle tones, and soon
had the boy realizing that
proper behavior and an edu-
cation were two of the many
, necessities of life.
The Boy Settles Down
! BY now there were four in
the family and life became
more complicated,
i One day the father - Au-

AS young Bukovac grew, so
did his tendency to settle
down and become a good stu
dent. Soon he was in "busi-
ness for himself" - the busi-

selling them to his school
friends for a penny apiece.

worms and 60 into the silk
business?
The silk business it was.
Little by little the busi-
ness began growing as the
sons helped whenever they
were free from school
classes. In a few years the
father was able to realize
as much as 1000 F1orins
annually, a very nice sum
of money in those days.
There followed the pur'
