Artistic Em hnents Cultivate n
Sense of. thf Beautiful.
From Municipal Anairs.,,
Within the last few years the plan of dec
Grating school rooms has come into wide
prominence. Many cities and towns from
Denver to Boston have done mora or less in
this direction. Probably the most noted in
stance Is to be- found in Philadelphia,
where the Civic Club, an organization COM
posed wholly of women, has set the pace.
With the assistance. of friends, large
number of casts, flags and pictures have
been secured and the fourteen rooms and
stairways of { building decorated in an ar
tistic manner. In every instance care has
bean taken to prpperiy distribute the deco
rations. with the result that pictures in the
kindergarten room, for example, are such
as to be easily understood by the child of
lve years. In one room are casts of several
distinguished authors, with now and then a
scene from a masterpiece. The prominent
characters III American history are placed
i In a third room, ard besides developing the
aftlstlc sense OF the pupil by keeping con-
Stantly before his vision work of art also
cause the otherwise dull textbook to be-
come reality Still other rooms are de-
voted to animal life, natural scenery IA
nous paintings and sculpture. effects of the
forces OF nature, patriotism, Greek and Ro-
man history, etc The young man in charge
OF the building assures the visitor that al
though tie pupils are quite young, owing
to the grade of thu Sc hoo yet they mani
Test keen interest in the paintings and
casts, and when they first see a picture
eagerly inquire to the story or ideas it
represents, and often look up the story
themselves. They do not hesitate to ex-
press an opinion upon the artistic merit of
a painting, even calling attention to the
very detail in which it does not receive
their approval. OF course the decisions
rendered would not always be accepted by
more advanced artists, and very often they
TAKE an exceedingly practical turn, as the
criticism of the janitor, who wished that
Marcus Aurelius had shaved before he sat
Tor ms cast, es 1T was awful hard to get
| the dust out of his whskers.'
The influence of these paintings and casts
can hardly be overestmated. Ths admira-
| tion and the desire for the beautiful are
aroused in youth, and matter how in
after years it may be repressed and neg
| lected In the uphill struggle for existence
the effects of this early training are never
wholly obliterated. The single picture in
| the one bare room called home may be a
cheaply engraved chrome, but it often rep
resents longing for the beautiful, which
can be satisfied in other way. owing to
the very meager income of the family.
And until public Or private initiative shall
nave satisfied the demand for municipal art
which societies such the Civic Club have
| been arousing, the cheap chrome must
