Mr.. Ward was not at all

it in 1911. It sold at that time
for $40 a copy. In 1858. Mrs.

BY FRANCES LIDE
Star Staff Writer

The only woman and the
only Negro to head up a
State Department of Mental
Health on a permanent basis
offered q modest version of
her success story in a press
conference here yesterday.
DR.. Mildred Rhudine
Mitchell Bateman Of West
Virginia said that a State
legislator once told her:
you have q knack of being
In the right place at the
right time" She smilingly
indorsed the theory.
Here for the two-day White
House Conference on Mental
Retardation which opened
this morning at Airlie House
in Warrenton, Va, DR.. Bate
man conceded that she had
been turned down by one
medical college. She believes
the rejection was because she
was O woman.
But she was accepted by
the Woman's Medical College
Of Pennsylvania where she
received her MD. degree early
in 1916.
She was waiting for a res
idency ct Howard University
when her father, q PreSby-
terrain minister, died.
Largely for financial rea-
sons, she decided to accept q

relatively few women psy-
chiatrists in the country but
that she is unusual in that
she also is a proven admin
istrator.
He also pointed out that
she was awarded an honorary
Doctor of Science degree last
May from the Johnson C.
Smith University of Char
lotte, N. c., where she earned
her BIS. in 194l. Most peo-
pie have to wait 40 years for
such an honor" he said.
DR.. Bateman also was grad
uated from the Barber-Scotia
College of Concord, N. c.
Her mother was a nurse,
she said, which probably ac-
counts for her interest in
medicine. At any rate, she
wanted to be a doctor as far
back as she can remember.
Her only brother. DR.. Sam
uel Mitchell of Washington,
is a surgeon currently work
ing on a cancer research
project, and her only sister
is a medical technician mar
ried to a physician in New
Jersey.
Now her IA year old
daughter, Donna Louise, has
become interested in nursing,
she said.

World War II marked the
end of the dark ages" so
