ART EDUCATloN.-A meeting of gentlemen
interested in the subject of art education in this
city, was held in the library room of the new
high school house last evening The meeting
was called by Sup aIintcudent Marble, to con-
slider the subject, and see what could he done to
promote the interest of art in the drawing
schools.
MIR. Marble spoke of the criticism which had
been made by Mr.. Walter Smith, state director
OF art education, upon the present condition of
the schools at the exhibition of drawings recent
ly given in the high school hall. MIR. Marble
said there were two faults noticeable in the wol k
exhibited there. One of them was that there
had been no means by which the objects to be
Sketched could be arranged in the proper posi-
ton. The model to be drawn from should not
be placed above the pupils eye, but rather be-
low it. The other fault was lack of models
He spoke of the importance of cultvating a
proper taste for the beautiful among the young,
and thought if this could be done there would
be no need to send abroad for the highest style
of ornamental work
The meeting was organized by the choice of
H. H. Chambern as chairman, and A. II. Davis
as secretary. Professor c. 0. Thompson was
the principal speaker He alluded to the re.
marks of Mr., Smith, and explained that that
| gentleman Judged the drawings from different
standpoint from that taken by others not so
| highly educated in art matters. The speaker
thought art training-that is, careful culture in
| free hand drawing, is necessary to perfection in
mechanical and industrial drawing. What our
mechanics need to enable them TO compete sue
| cessfully with the artisans of France and Ger
many, is a more thorough training in art mat
| pSlo' AT lldlhluS 10 uOI dlMdNS accompanied
by facility of expression, hut the two should be
| joined, uniting the artist with the artisan. He
also strongly urged the necessity of furnishing
to the pupils the very best class of models, so
that proper sense of the beautiful may be in
culcated thereby.
Mr.. j. II. Walker spoke of the high position
which Worcester holds among cities on account
of her manufactures, and advocated better art
culture among young men and women, as a
means TO enable her to maintain this position
Remarks were also made by Hon. Hartley
Williams, Professor Sinclair, Nathaniel Paine
Luther Ross, and others. All the speakers cor.
daily favored better facilities for the study Of
draw ing in the schools.
committee of five, consisting of Prof. C. 0.
Thompson, j. II Walker, A. P. Marble, Luther
Ross and c. i. Gilbert, was chosen to consider
the subject, and report plan for action to an
adjourned meeting to be held on Thursday eve
