ART EXHIBITION.

Their Work In the tuAtitute BuiiutnS.
Work thou for pleasure; paint or sing or
carve
The thing thou lowest. though the body
starve.
Who works for glory misses oft the goal
Who works for money coins his verv soul.
Work for works sake then, and 1t may be
That these things shall be added unto thee.
Kenyon Cox.

The school has made progress in th
taking up of work from nature an
5 MIR. Hammitt is always glad to hav
= his pupils do that rather than to copy
/ He prefers that they shall try sketch
] ing and figure work, and get ava
r from the fiat work which, althoug
easier, does not give the pupil ths RET
/ practice OF original work. An innC
4 walton introduced last year has prove
a beneficial, and that has been the op,
b hour sketches in which the pupils ha
Just one hour once a week. TO make
sketch from a model. Such w0r
forces the student and gives facili
with the pencil.
