Primary Education I'm Art.

The necessity for art culture in many
trades is absolute; and yet, though we boast
of the completeness of our educational system,
there exists no well organized public
school in this city where the craftsman
can learn the first principles Of art The
schools of the National Academy of Design are
intended exclusively tor artists, and Chinese
rule of exclusion is adopted against those
who seek the aid of art only as an assist
ance in the perfection of their handicraft Yet
it is in its relations to the latter class that the
practical value of art is most felt. There is in
the National Academy no law which prevents
the mere craftsman from entering as student,
but an amount of skill in drawing from the
round is required to enter the school,
which, if the craftsman possessed, he
would not require to enter at all. No
provision is made for the numerous class who
would like to acquire the elementary princi-
pies of drawing. With the exception of
the Cooper Union School, which is
inconveniently over-crowded aud not
over well managed, there does not exist
single public school where per-
sons Of either sex desiring to receive
elementary instruction in art can do so. In
London and in Paris every district has school
devoted to teaching drawing and modelling.
No examinations have TO be passed to
enter them, and all who desire instruc-
ton can procure it by the payment of a
small fee. These schools, though much at
tended by students who intend to devote
themselves wholly to art, are principally for
the benefit of artisans England found that
Germany and France derived SO much benefit
from the art education given TO the working
classes that she resolved to adopt the system of
popuhrizing art by means Of general method
of instruction Massachusetts has followed
that wise example and organized system Of
art schools somewhat on the English system.
We hope our own State will before long take
steps to supply this great need, SO tina,
primary education in art may be placed
within reach of every one who desires tc
| obtain it. In tha maaniima we thinl

MEx1co-THE AGITATION OF SECOND PREsI-
DENTAL TERM.-While the people Of the
United States still are left in doubt as to the
views and intentions Of General Grant in
reference to third Presidential term the
question of a second term TO President Lerdo
has given rise to considerable agitation of
the subject, and an earnest opposition in the
Mexican Congress to Lerdo's reelection.
One of the members, DR.. Velasco, of Tamau-
lipas, q strong friend Of the President, took
decided ground against his reelection. This.
too when the administration of President
Lerdo has been eminently promotive Of peace
and prosperity and remarkably popular. But
the Mexicans, from their severe experience,
have learned to distrust the policy of second

Miss Cushman's Farewell to the

Miss Cushman's Farewell 60 the
Stage.
Only few weeks ago the public Of Paris
were called upon to assist at Nine. Dejazets
farewell to the stage The generation that
had first welcomed this actress to the stage
had passed away, but like other great figures
she had known how to conquer the admira-
ton Of the new generation. The demon
stration was as remarkable for its enthusiasm
number of persons distinguished in art and
literature as focked to pay homage to
genius that seemed to set time at defiance has
seldom been assembled even III Paris. All
that the exquisite taste of the French capital
could imagine was done to render the event
of Nine. Dejazet's withdrawal from the stage
an episode that would leave pleasant remem-
brances in the mind of the actress that only
death could blot out This homage to genius
does infinite credit to the Partisan public It
is just that we should ask ourselves if at this
moment we also could not do ourselves some
honor by paying well deserved tribute to
the genius and worth of the greatest actress
America has yet produced. The last night OF
Miss Cushman's present engagement will be
her final appearance ON the New York stage.
She will then bid long farewell to the pomp
and circumstance of the mimic world, in
which, for generation, she has reigned su-
prema At such moment it would be em-
inently fitting for the members of the literary
and artistic professions to mark in public
manner their regret at the loss the stage will
suffer on Miss Cushman's withdrawal into pri-
vate life, and their admiration for an honorable
career closed, after years of struggle, crowned
with unrivalled triumphs- No doubt the lead
ing actors and actresses Of the metropolitan
theatres would seize eagerly any opportunity
offered to them to show their respect and ap-
probation Of lady who does honor to the
stage. The initiatory steps, we feel, ought to
come from some Of the literary clubs Of the
city. The Century, the Lotos, the Palette, the
Arcadian ought, singly or in combination, to
take steps to organize such demonstration as
would adequately mark public admiration for
Miss Cushman's worth and genius. We feel
certain that it is only necessary to call atten-
ton to this matter in order to secure suitable
action on the part Of the numerous admirers
of the great American actress.
