PROPOSED ART Elsewhere will
be found the prospectus of the proposed
art school to be established at the Croker
Art Gallery. The scheme includes thor
ough study and instruction in drawing and
painting, with w. F. Jackson in charge,
and faculty of art lecturers as the study
demands. The opening of the school, say
the Directors of the California Museum
Association, will depend upon the appIica-
tons made for seats, and they should be
made at once. The terms are placed very
low, the bounty of Mrs. E. B. Croker
enabling the school to start without rent
charges, and with some 5000 studies, and
the examples of a splendid gallery of art.
Beyond this, the school must be self-sup-
porting, however, as the museum member
ship cannot devote their means to free
education of others. But the Association
has a special fund given for the purpose,
with which to thoroughly equip the school
with casts, masks, figures, screens and all
needed articles, the advantages of which
the pupils will have free.
