The art school in our place merits more
than a passing notice. Mrs A. D. Mum
son is of English descent and from fam
lily of artists. She commenced her studies
in the schools of st. Louis; removed to
New York at the age of 10 and then to
Brooklyn, where she received the first
prize offered by Prof Winter for an orig
inal design of book cover in pastel (al-
though she was not then in the first
class, from the draughting classes of
nearly 1900. Her art education was con-
tinued at the Adelphi academy in Brook
Ign and afterward under J. Henry Hill,
studio building in New York, residence,
conservatory and private studio in Ny
ack and she spent one Summer sketching
on the coast Of Maine. Her designs have
been accepted bp Prang for chromos and
by many of the decorators of New York
city. An enthusiast in art, she has given
up the two largest rooms in her. house as
studio and gathered copies of the first
American artists, as models for herself
and students. To her classes, she gives
Tuesday and Saturday afternoons of
each week and the rapid progress sever
al have made show the conscientious
and faithfuiieharacter of her work. With
the chances our girls have under Mrs
Munson in color and Prof Plat in music,
even II they have not enough talent to
become distinguished, they will be able
to intelligently appreciate really good
art - 1t ''' 50 10 -
