ideas Of what trey are to do and how they
are going TO do it.
New York has a rapidly increasing num-
Der Of centers for art study, but the increase
OF smaller schools has Of late mollneo IA no
appreciable way the position OF the tour
chief fields for study-Cooper Union, tne
schools associated with the Metropolitan
Museum, the schools OF the Acadenyspi De-
sign and the Art Students League.
These artistic hives will soon De ouzzlng
Aagain. Already the applicants are on the
Teround or are filing tneir applications by
I mail The academy school, having behind
n the teaching of q venerable institution, is
naturally most conservative in its method
of receiving pupils. In your apphcatlonfo for
admission 10 the academy school. an appllca-
tion which must be accompanied by an ex
ample Of your drawing, you are obliged 70
explicitly state your age, place OF birth, the
name Of your teacher, If you have had any,
the name Of the person TO whom you refer
for a certificate OF personal character and
whether you intend &c practice as profess
sion. There is another question as to
whether the dra wing submitted is executed
By yourself, which might seem superduOus
t. any one who did not know Of the queer
things wOuld-he art students are sometimes
willi0g to do in order to squeeze their way
into class.
The an .ique and life classes Of the acad-
envy will be taught this season by Will II.
Low, n. Il. Edgar N. Ward, n A., and
Charles Foster; Tom" Eakins will talk
about anatomy. Frederick Dielman will
teach perspective, and the composition and
sketch classes will be under the wing OF Mr..
Low.
AT the League, the most popular and in
haeutial of metropolitan art schools. every
thing has thoroughly business-like air,
but there is less conservatism than at the
Academy. The list of instructions is a
strong one. J. II. Tw6chsman puts
the young men and women through
their FIRST degree Among the classic
casts appear J. Carol kwith-always "a
pet instructor-Kenyou Cox, that consum-
mate master of the nude, aud Willard L.
Metcalf. who halls from the studios of Bou-
LANCER and Lefevre In the life classes the
instructors include, beside Mr.. Cox aud Mr.
Me5calf, q. Siddons Mowbray, young and
brilliant pain Ter. That master Of sculpture,
Augustus Saint-Gaudens, presides over the
modelling classes; while the painting classes
are in charge of three strong men-Will~
lam NJ. Chase, B. r. Fitz and J. Alden
Weir. There are both sketch and costume
classes Of the league on three days of the
week.
New York repeats none of the anomalies
of art student life IN Paris. Its class rooms
are quiet and moral TO an almost prudish
degree. Great care is exercised, even in the
selection of models-a precaution Of which
the Partisan schools have never been &C
cused Some of the students have hard
time Of it to make ends meet In this re,
spect student life is not so much different
from student life at Munich or the French
capital. A few of the students as might be
implied by one of the aoademy's questions,
come to play with art. This is especially
true Of the women, who so often only intend
to go home and paint tides The great
mass are serious, aud ID is pretty hard
struggle from the beginning.
New York state loses two of its brightest
editors and Rhode Island gets new news
paper.
John L. Heaton of the Brooklyn Times
and his wife. Eliza Putnam Heaton Of the
New York Recorder are the controlling eii-
tors OF the Providence NeUS, which presents
the novelty Of being the only republican
paper in one of the big cities OF the east.
Mr.. Heaton is another Of these young men
who are making journalism hum. grad
uate OF St. Lawrence University, he Is a
writer OF unusual versatility, accomplished
in a every phase of Newspaper work. and
thoroughly equipped for the management
OF great newspaper enterprise. His vigor
as writer has made him a valued CON
tributor to the North American Repieto aud
other periodicals Of similar prominence.
Mrs. Heaton has been called the CLEVER
est newspaper woman in New York" This
is big praiss. and, if l am correctly in
formed as to the source of the tribute, there
was no mere gallantry in it. She is a coli
lege woman, and has supplemented an ex-
ceptionally broad education with range
of experience in journalism that might be
called in some respects romantic. As
writer for the Bachelor g. johnson syndi-
cate she Is pretty we'll known by pen name
Or initials in all the big cities of the coun-
try. She is a member of Sorosis, of the
w oman's Press Club, aud has been actively
Identified in New York with other social
and professional interests.
Providence is In great luck.
