strange spectacle of two dif ferent races within easy walking dis tance of each other living under total ly dissimilar conditions the whites with all their intrlcato modern con veniences the blacks with still only the rudo utensils and implements that havo been- handed down to them for centuries families of tho tribesmen dwell a few miles from white settlements in their isolated homesteads they are not a communal people like the whites but rather take small hold ings on tho grant of their chiefs and set up their own farms at some dls- tanco from their neighbors looking over a valley as far as the eye can reach one will seo scarcely more than halt a dozen kraals these consist of a small circle of huts surrounded by a thick growth of brush as in a stock ade and enclosing in tho centre a patch that serves as a stable for the cattle the father has a hut near the gate and after it around the ring come tho huts of the wives of which there are sometimes as many as twenty here and there among them will be small huts for the children outside the kraal the family will have a roughly laid out plot of ground which is farm ed as long as it remains fertile and then abandoned for a new

senior lecturer in the school of art at durban natal and also lecturer at the university of south africa for eleven years he has spent much of his time going about among the natives with his sketchbook the result has been a striking collection of oil paintings a group of which he recently exhibited at the american museum of natural history they show the admiration he felt for the natives when they are living under their natural conditions he presents them as a happy people now making play of the simple bits of work by which they carry on their lives now held spellbound by the beauty of a vast stretch of landscape or again at tho height of their glory when decked out with primitive wea pons for a tribal war white clviliza ion he says is draw ing more and more of them because it offers convenient ways for them to make a livelihood as children they often work as herd boys on the white farms without fear they run among a herd of cows to drive them in the desired direction and when two bulls are lighting they will separate them by twisting and pulling their talis as older boys they plow the fields of white farmers cutting wattles to sell to the mines or fov use as fences women too do this work tall and powerful they are quite as good at manual labor as their brothers they are often seen tying up huge bundles of the castoff wattles such as a white man would find difficult even to lift and carrying them homo on their heads perhaps a walk of miles young men and girls work in the towns as servants the chief appeal that civilization has for tho primi ive youth is that it gives him a chance to earn the money for his marriage brides among the natives nre bought outright fatness being a virtue the price depends on the girls sleekness for a girl rea sonably plump the price is seven or elgh cows for a better one particu larly if sho is a chiefs daughter it runs up to as many as thirty even among the cultured natives this conception of tho solid worth of tho brldo still lingers mr martin tells how mrs martins maid an ad vanced girl who had been to college clung to the idea that a daughter must be held at a price consistent with her dignity she nskod mrs martin ono day how many cows she was going to get for her daughter and when mrs martin explained that she did hot expect to recclvo any at all the girl asked in amazement dont you lovo your daughter a youth about to set up his kraal must first acffulro tho nocessary num ber of cows for his bride and tho slmplcstmeans is to take a job with a white man until ho has saved the money about 10 for each
