There Ia n course in wood engraving at the Cooper
Union. and the Philadelphia Art school has q course.
We think the art Industrial schools hero do not give
any courses. The course covers three years; then the
student has, or should have, the elements OF the art:
and he can go on studying and learning all the rest Of
his life. The pay Ia poor, now; most Of the wood en-
gravers have gone into the photo-engraving business.
Men, who years ago earned $40 q week, are working
gladly for sia on the other hand, masters OF wood
engravins. like Thomas Cole, W. n. closson, Johnson,
King, are paid high prices, and rank quite as high as
painters and %sculptors.

his Progress and Poverty" Nr. George believes that
the accumulation OF land in the hands OF q few per-
sonsis the cause OF the increasing poverty. To remedy
this he would have only one tax, on land: and that
tax should he so great as to absorb all the profits OF
land holding. so that no person would want TO hold
more land than he needed to support himself or to
build his house on. The single tax has never been put
into practical operation.
