all received &c. 81 and up to so per COL
uInn, but the beginner invariably got 81.
By column rates. is meant the width of
drawing. "A drawing that is one column
wide is a one-colunnn drawing; a drawing
that is two columns wide is a two-column
drawing, and so ionfup to the width of a
page No notice is taken of the hight, I'M
less it be extra tall, perhaps as long as q
newspaper page, when double prices are
paid per column.
Last year an art student could easily
get a three-column drawing in a paper
every week, or could do three one-coumn
drawings at 81 each. This sufficed TO pay
her board and expenses. She could do adj
vertising work. or perhaps could illustrate
story, and one a week would keep her
going nicely
But all this has changed. When the sea-
son opened this year, instead of one thous-
and new art students in New York there
were nearly 1900. They came from all
over the world, for the fame of the, New
York Art Schoolthas spread to Paris And
Paris and Berlin girls find that when they
come to a strange city they can leave
aside all social obligations and devote
themselves to their work. For this reason
American girls go to Paris and Paris girls
come to America. With the great increase
in the number of art students came the
great increase in the supply of drawings
and publishers found themselves flooded
with the work of amateurs, offered to
them very cheap. For a dollar they could
buy the same drawing for which they paid
Sc and $40 for last year. And that of
course lowered the price of drawings. And
thus the sudden panic in art circlesl
But, as was said before, an art student
is\the hardest one in the worldsto floor"
and though YOU may embarrass her, she
will quickly rally and, collecting her wits
and her belongings, move to cheaper
place.
