Would that our native artists were keeping
pace with our taste. That we
were not compelled to blush at
the poor drawing, crude colOring and weak
manipulation OF the pictures yearly ex-
bibited on the walls of the Academy Of De-
sign and elsewhere. But we shall never
have genuine artists here until we have
genuine art schools, such as they have i'm

must be perfectly drawn. though the student
should be kept at il year. There an artist
must go through course of preparatory
study just as severe and long continued as
that pursued by student in law or medi-
cine. And the result is that talent becomes
almost genius, while genius scars into
regions of the upper air." Here, on the
contrary, the merest dauher sends his
studies to the exhibition, and worse vet has
them accepted, before he has so much as
