Walter Gets Ahead Walter Scott tells the story of a boy who was in school with him when he was a lad. It was the custom for the scholars in that school to change their places in classes according to their success or failure in recitation. This boy always stood at the head of the class. Although Walter stood second he could never get to the head because the boy never missed. But one day he noticed that the boy had a habit of twirling the button on his jacket when he was puzzled by a hard question. This somehow Heemed to help him think .out the right answer. Walter, more through mischief than any worse motive, decided to cut off this button and see if it would make any difference. So, one day, when no one was looking he slyly took out his knife and cut off the precious button. The next lesson was a spelling lesson, Several of the scholars at the end missed a hard word and it came around to the head. The boy instinctively reached for the button. It was gone. He looked down to find it, grew confused, missed the word, and Walter went above him. The boy never got to the head again. He seemed to lose his ambition, settled down into a secondrate scholar and never accomplished much In life. . Walter Scott declared that he often suffered sharp remorse at the i bought that he possibly spoiled the boy for school and for life by suddenly cutting off the button that had done such good service. 1

INDIANA, SATURDAY. JANUARY 7, 1922

Mr. Leigh, Visiting Artist, Tells of an Interesting Young Model; Opportunities for Students, Here

"That boy, James, is a fine little poser," remarked Mr. Howard Leigh, pointing out two lithographs which he had made of a little boy from a number of very interesting etchings and lithographs now on exhibit in the Art gallery. James, whose complete name Is James Douglas, Is a little colored boy, only five years old, who often poses for Mr. Leigh. He. enjoys posing very much oh, no, not because he is especially interested in art, but because he receives tweity-five cents (he sets his own price) for every hour he poses. He never thinks to ask to look at his "picture" when it is made. One of the lithographs of James now hanging in the west room of the gallery is of him facing the artist (and, in rather dimmer outline, a profile view) and the other one shows James fallen asleep as he sometimes does when posing, Mr. Leigh said after playing that an old umbrella skeleton was a cane. James' mother cleans and dusts many of the studios in a certain part of New York, among them, Mr. Leigh's. James spends a great deal of time in Mr. Leigh's studio. Best of all, he likes to play the Victrola and dance. His sister, Jane, often dances with him. James has a wonderful wardrobe, scarcely appearing twice in exactly the same garb. He lias accumulated many strange caps and garments from friendly artists. Sees Splendid Work of English Junior Some very fascinating drawings of children made by Palma Bianco, a little English girl, now fifteen years old, were shown last winter

in the Anderson galleries in New York city. Mr. Leigh saw the exhibit and admired the drawings very much. He said they were very beautiful in design, and attracted a great deal of attention. Palma sold drawings from this exhibit amounting to the sum cf 18,000. To this very talented junior, it seemed as natural to draw as to breathe. Sho liked to make her drawings in pen and then color them with water colors, and many of her best works were done before she was ten years old. This little English artist never imitated anyone in her work, but expressed her own ideas, and, what seems rather strange, she liked to make large portraits of herself. Great Opportunities For Art Students, Here "There are great opportunities for Richmond juniors interested in art," said Mr. Leigh. "They often have the chance to see artists at work, but one thing I would like to tell them is, not to stay very long watching the artist. No artist objects to some one watching him carefully for a minute or two, but few artists can work long with people watching him, without feeling the presence of the person watching him to the point where it interferes with his work." Mr. Leigh was very interested in drawing and sketching when he was attending Earlham college a few years ago.- Since then he has studied in New York and Paris, and has achieved some very favorable recognition. Before coming to Earlham, Mr. Leigh lived In Spleeland. . . .- . When asked If he did much drawing as a - junior, Mr. Leigh responded, "No," and that until he

became a student In High school he did very little because, though be was always interested, his early efforts were so poor he was disgusted with. them. HIBBERD 6-A'S WRITE TO SCHOOL NEAR CALAIS Interesting facts about Richmond and Indiana, and news of their school work are the subjects about which pupils in the 6A grade of Hibberd school are writing in their letter to children in a French school, Ecole Mixte Hannes-Cantz, which is near Calais, or, as they will write It when addressing the letter, pas de Calais. Spaniel Recovers Balls On certain golf links in Cornwall, England, a boy has carefully trained his spaniel to hunt up at evening all the balls lost during the day.
