Virgil Williams, Chief Instructor in the

warmest interest in the work OF the Sacra-

an early day and give it the benefit
of his advice. He was perfectly confident
that a school of design can be maintained
here, and demonstrated to the committee
that the expense of the same is very much
less than has been supposed, and that pu-
pills in such schools are very tar from be-
ing drawn entirely from cities, but come
in large numbers from the country. An
other section of the committee secured the
cooperation of influences of a potential

plans of the Sacramento Association to
the public. The committee was compG
