The Art Institute has shown a progress
siye spirit lately which promises to place
it on a par with the better-known organi-
cations in the East Yesterday some i'm
portant changes were consummated which
are decidedly a step in this direction.
A meeting was held on Tuesday last at
which these changes were discussed.
Emile Pissis, the head and front of the
advance movement, II. Bush, Mrs. Chit
tenden and Mrs. David Bixler were pres.
ent. They did not constitute quorum,
but yesterday the president, Edward
Bosqui, was called into consultation over
the changes, and as he signified his hearty
appreciation, steps are now being taken Tor
carrying them into effect.
When the school reopens in August
there will be two life classes every day,
each having model. The modelling class
under the direction of Douglas Tilden will
also have life model every day. This
means that the institute will give con-
slant employment to three models. 1t
will be a considerable added expense, as
one has been the average hitherto, but II IS
expected that the benefit to the pupils will
more than compensate for the cost.
Arthur Mathews and Amedee Joullin will
be the two life-class instructors. Each OF
these instructors will also have painting
class and an ANTIQUE class. Added facili-
ties are also to be given to students who
desire to study pastel and water-color
painting.
For the last two months, sixteen boys
who are studying in architects offices III

the Art Institute on Monday and Friday

lecture. The young architects are to be
accorded the use of the Art Institute casts
and afforded anv otner facilities that it is
in the power of the association to grant.
A number of magnificent photographs

Emile Pissis said: ''They will have an
excellent effect in giving people an idea OF
the various masterpieces. / hope in time
