The exhibition will not be open during
the daytime this week, as usually has
been the case, because the pictures are
hung only for artificial light and mainly
on screens that close the windows. Out
of compliment to Mrs. Watson, the
veteran teacher, and the graduates of her
classes, who are to give her reception
Friday night at the Art Gallery, the
School of Design pupils have unanl-
mously agreed to leave their pictures in
place for that occasion, thus adding to the
features of the reception.
1t is to be said that the school has never
made better exhibition. The instruct
ors, Mr.. Jackson and Miss Blanch, are
too modest to say as much, but it was the
common judgment last night of all who
have attended the exhibitions of the
school for ten years. Perhaps more
pretentious exhibitions it has held, but
none in which there was more or as much
evidence of general excellence, OF con-
scIentious work and native ability.
Necessarily, at a late hour only few
general notes can be made. But, with
out making distinctions intended to be
uncomplimentary, it is to be said that the
shown in the ibrary-room is the most
significant exhibit ever made by the
school. 1t proves the value OF the rule
OF the school that all pupils must learn to
draw, as primary essential. Color Is not
permitted until light and shade work in
black and white and drawing and the
study of perspective have been well en-
tered upon. There are schools of art
where this is not insisted upon, but lax
ity in that regard has never been per-
mitted here.
The pen and ink sketches by Master
Weisel, a mere lad, testify TO a native
ability rapidly developing that promises
20, l. h ,-ia
perior sketch artist in life studies, such as
will make him useful for magazine illus
trating and other pictorial work. 1t is
strong bit, and last night awakened
inquiry concerning the lad by all who
saw his work.
The one-hOur studies in color near the
southwest corner of the main hall are also
especially noticeable and worthy. The
most superior fruit piece in the collection
is large study III grapes, by Miss Mary
HInkSon. 1t Is SO complete in detail, so
translucent in effect and so good in draw
ing and color that If signed Deakin it
would readily sell as one of that artists
best works. So, too, a strong landscape
of dense foliage and far perspective, with
a dark pool in the foreground, if signed
Keith would be accepted as his work. 1t
is by Miss Blanch.
The life studies and still life by Mrs.
Marshall, Miss Hinkson, Miss Klein
sorge, Miss Eadon, Miss Lewis and Miss
Blanch are the best they have ever done,
and are of high credit to them. They are
to be seen mainly on the west wall.
A portrait of Mrs. Bullard, by Miss
HInkson, and portrait of Mrs. DeMer-
ritt by the same, and an anatomical study
by her are notable exhibits. There Is
some sketch work by Miss Lewis also
that stands to her credit, being strong
and excellent in composition. Still life,
by Miss Lorraine Hart, is among the
very best ID the exhibit. The letter
rack study, by Mrs. Marshall, study of
peaches by her, some life studies from her
easel and portraiture testify to a skill
supplementing native ability of fine
order. Mrs. Marshall, indeed, makes the
strongest and best exhibit of her life in
this colleetion-there is nothing weak
in ii.
a perspective IN black and white look
ing down leafy avenue, by Miss Klein
sorge, is strong and accurate work:
Miss Greenlaw's still life study is notable
for her skill in handling most common
place subjects and investing them
with interest
A view of the old Suffers Fort and a
landscape study In the mountains, by
Miss Blanch, are full of feeling. There
is light and shade effect by Miss Green
law in study of helmet, canteen and
soldierly accoutrements that is perhaps
ton. 1t is notable instance Of effective
handling in light and shade. There are
many flower pieces, of course, as there
always is in such collections but none
better than Mary Hinkson's study of a
very common red rose OF California.
There is peculiar sentiment, warmth
and feeling about Miss Eadon's still life
work that suggests abundant talent and
work into which conscience entered.
Miss Lewis has a study of the rudest
implements of the painters art that is
one of the strongest relief effects we have
SCENT is admirable. Miss Joesink's
flower studies are noticeably good, and
military still life study by Miss Klein
sorge is among the very best shown.
The charcoal and Crayon cast studies
on the east wall are noticeable for yigor
and good drawing; there is perhaps less
of attention to nicely of finish than in
some exhibitions in this group, or order.
by the school. 1t would seem that more
attention had been given to drawing
than to finishing TO nicely, as this work
Is all disciplinary and primary
There are some exquisite flower pieces
by Carrie 1oerk, and some superior fruit
pieces by the same lady. They are both
very strong and very delicate, and in
drawing and color stand out with exceed
ing prominence in the exhibition. 1t
would be just and pleasant to note other
works by other pupils that are worthy of

ond examination OF the exhibits.
