Jerome Relocation Center, Denson, Arkansas. Two students, in an adult education class, getting pointers from instructor Masso Hatano in the art of “Ikebana“. The exhibit illustrated, which was created by the instructor, is an example of the perfected art. All adult classes, which enable center residents, former west coast persons of Japanese ancestry, to break the harshness of their barracks homes, by providing small art objects, are very popular.
