Instructor Jackson and Assistant SAWYER

weeks session of the School of Design in
the Slerras. The regular class, consisting
OF some twenty-one pupils, will leave for
the Summit on the evening of the 2Sth
inst, Both instructors will accompany
the school, twill rendezvous at the Sum
NIT Hotel and make studies in that imme-
dlate vicinity and the Bonner Lake region.
superintendent Wright has afforded the
school the use OF special car for It's trans
portation. All the scholars will fit out
with stout shoes, flats, leggings, camp
Stools, held easels, drawing material. etc
They Will be under the school discipline
the same as if in Sacramento, and four
married ladies will accompany the Young
ladies of the class as chaperones. Some
ex members of the school from abroad are
expected 10 join the excursion, and proba-
bly, some members of the families of some
OF the scholars will go along and avail of
the cheap rates for a two-weeks' summer
holiday in the high Sierras.
The Directors of the Museum Associa-
ton have rendered the movement all Dos
slble aid, and private assistance has also
been given to enable the excursion to be
made in the best possible shape The in
structors say that the final two weeks of
the term thus spent in study of the mount
ain landscapes will be of much greater
value to every member of the class than
three months in the classroom. One or
more officers of the Museum Association
will probably be with the school portion
Of the time. 1t is the intention on the re-
turn of the school to make public exhi-
bition of the studies made in the mount
aims. Instructors Jackson and SAWYER ale
familiar with every foot of the ground the
school will occupy as points of view, and
which cover only small TERRITORY near the
hotel, having sketched from them very
many times.
This will be the first class in designing
that has ever made Sierra study excur-
sion. San Francisco classes have made
Coast Mountain excursions, but never one
afiording such fine opportunities for study
that the Sacramento class is about to take.
At the Summit Hotel accommodations of
good order will be provided for the pupils.
and communication twice each day with
Sacramento by rail and mail will be main
tanned, giving reports of progress and the
condition of the excursionists, etc., that
their friends may be constantly advised
concerning them. During the absence of
the class one of the instructors will come
down to meet and instruct the Saturday
class.
