His assignment was speci fically in the area of veneral disease control and education, and his work and techniques are mentioned in major texts in that field. Dr. Hughes later became a member of the staff of the North Carolina School Health Coordinating Service. In this capacity, he made major con tributions to the health of the school population of North Carolina. The Surgeon General of the UJS. sent members of the Public Health Service to North Carolina for training un der Dr. Hughes. Mrs. Jennie D.

Mrs. Taylor recalls a day in the mid - 1940's when Dr. Hughes pointed to a group of school children in an eastern North Carolina town. "He said 'Jennie, do you see those children? They look a whole lot better now than when I first started." Many of the techniques de veloped by Dr. Hughes in im proving the health of North Carolina school children have been adapted by the World Health Organization to their use. The portrait will hang at North Carolina Central because of Dr. Hughes' close associa tion with the university. It was he who recommended to' Dr. James E. Shepard that the uni versity establish a department of health education and pub lic health. Dr. Hughes was also insturmental in improving health services at black colleges and universities in the state. Dr. Hughes is survived by his wife, Mrs. Hattie Hughes of Greensboro.
