han die, the right side always appearing
up.
1t might be we'll to stop right at this
point and explain what kind of system
has been designed. placed, and screwed
down in the Art Association. First of all
it is one of those systems that is better
than double-entry bookkeeping and as
simple as a rubber stamp. 1t has been es-
pc cially arranged for the exclusive use of
five of our best-known and respected citi-
zens, all of whom, through being able TO
write, find the system easy to control and
no previous instruction is required.
These gentlemen, Messrs. Stanton, Joul-
lin, Tilden ,Yelland and Mathews, are al
most household names, and when not 9TH
erwise engaged can be found at the rooms
OF the Art Association teaching young
people how to draw, paint and model in
clay. Conditions used to be such that these
gifted individuals could be found there at
least part of the time of the day set aside
for them to handle the helm. while other
parts OF the day they could be found some
where else. The system prepared and per-
fected for them is of that variety that
makes it possible for them to be there all
of the day without inconvenience to any
body.
1t is the system that permits this ac-
compllshment. All that is required of the
foregoing gentlemen, Or professors of art,
is be at the academy so near the hour OF
A. NJ. that they can take a pencil-pre-
yiously prepared by Secretary Martin
and fix their names to the arrival chart
Just the same as the man who runs a
buzz saw in box factory. After signing
the record they pass on to the instruction
rooms and, taking off their coats, proceed
TO drill artistic designs into the heads CT
the students.
When they are prepared. through hun
ger, Tor lunch, they pass out again and
state what time they left, on the departure
chart. 1t Is all very simple and the pro-
fessors are able to avoid crowding each
other SINCE they began to understand the
intention of the directors.
AT L P. NJ the chart is once more arranged
TO receive its record and more signatures
are added, not for the purpose of over
working the professors but to keep up the
system 1t is working very we'll at the
present time and saves great deal Of
trouble to the instructors. 1t enables them
TO see what time they get to work and con-
ssequentty they feel more at home when
they arrive. There IS no feeling that op-
proaches the delight of "knowing where
you are at" Few citizens of this section have
ever experienced the thrill that follows a
knowledge OF being familiar with their
whereabouts.
Lie professors are now so wrapped up in
the system that 1t IS no uncommon thing
to see MIR. Stanton or Mr.. Joullin fall down
the Bohemian Club stairs at five minutes
10 and b-gin fight for the Art Associa-
ton. II they arrive in time to hear the
merry stroke of the hall clock a smile of
triumph takes possession of their faces and
they are happy the remainder II the day.
;, Mr.. I1iden. who used to believe iii the
ffench method Of showing up only when
visitors were expected, has got all over
the habit and now finds comfort and solace
IN nelng present just on the minute
MI. Mathews and Mr.. YeIland will drop
landscape with the butter side down to
get TO the institute on time. They are
deeply interested in their work and are III
love with the system.
Inc director who is the father of the
system is said to have visited the box fac
tories, planning mills, brickyards. overall
ioun6ries and canneries so as to familiarize
himsef with the most approved methods
OF recording departures and arrivals, while
secretary Martin, of the all-seeing eve,
attends to 1t that the system apparatus is
aiways IN good condition ready to work at
the sIoke OF A. NJ. and / P. NJ.
Let history in after years record this
artistic nine stroke.
