In the afternoon the ateliers are closed
and the student has an opportunity 70 at
tend the great course of lectures which give
him the theoretical part of his training
Some Of these are very famous, notably that
of anatomy, which every student, without
lecture-room a, half-hour ahead OF time to
secure a seat at this course. The lectures
are delivered by Matthias Duval, frances
famous scientist, and include sketching from
bones and muscles, and drawing from
corpses. This course is esteemed so valu-
able that not only the students, but many
of the old established artists of Paris, at
tend it regularly. Contrary to generally re-
ceived opinion, few of the students spend
much time at the Louvre, unless to I'LL a
commission or in order to copy a Louvre
picture. Gerome strictly advises all of his
pupils against this and all their Louvre
work Is limited TO simple studies.

shown no decrease in popularity and is
criticised by the foremost professors Of

ART STUDY IN PARIS
Severity of the Examinations for
Entrance at the Beaux Arts.
System of Teaching That Has Made
Paris Schools Famous, but Is Ex-
ceedingly Hard on Beginners.

Paris Letter in Boston Transcript.
The system OF art teaching which has
made Paris the admiration OF the world,
centers in the one institution. the Ecole des
Beaux Arts This is the first objective
point Of 80 out OF 100 beginning art stu
dents. The Beaux Arts contains. roughly
speaking, one thousand pupils, OF whom
about half are architects and the rest are
painters and sculptors. The school is d.
vided into eleven studios-three for archi-
lecture. three for painting, three for sculp-
ture. one for engraving and one for the
cutting OF precious stones. In these studios
the practical work is done. and in connec-
ton with this are held courses in liter
allure. anatomy. archaeology, perspective
and esthetics. These give the theoretical
instruction. OF the hundreds Of American
students who come 10 Paris every year
for the United States Is the most largely
represented by any foreign nationality-the
studios OF painting and sculpture absorb by
far the greater number.

were presented. One is joint indictment for

the other is a charge of larceny against Frank v.
Mcdonald cashier Of the Pacific Bank. for stealing
$i40 900 Of the funds of that bank. Bail is set az
$50 900 each. Probably Montgomery and Graves VIII
be the only ones able to furnish bail The securities
stolen from the Peoples Home were deposited by

its collapse Hence he induced the directors TO
