the resident property owners object to grav-

Fenneman street to Chestnut street, and
tie alley east of Chestnut street, from the
alley south of Palmer street to Minnesota

A Class of one Graduate

The first annual graduating exercises of
the Central College of Dentistry were held
last night in the rooms of the college at
Illinois and Ohio streets. The exercises
were unique from the fact that the gradual
ing class consisted of but one student. This
was w. II. Matthews of Madison, Ind, who
gracefully acknowledged the degree of den
tistry conferred by J. E. Cravens, president
of the college.
The institution was organized last October
and there are now about forty students in
attendance. Before students can be gradu-
ated they must take aqthree years course.
Matthews, the young man who received the
honors last night had spent two years in
other schools and became senior when he
entered the Central College. The exercises
last night consisted of orchestral music and
addresses. The main address of the even
ing was by Bishop White, who gave adj
vice to the graduating class" Short talks
were also made by President Cravens and
DR.. Joseph Eastman The stage was pro-
fusely embelished with palms and the
United States flag. Amid the decorations
sat the single graduate with members of the
college faculty. In an adjoining room bis
cults and punch were served, and after the
exercises there was dancing.

arts and crafts work in the lower grades of
the schools of the United Kingdom. The
new work of the public, schools has revived
Germany and is depressing the rest of the
world which is notgfOllowing in her wake.
Ihe teaching of drawing In the PUBLIC
schools is not understood by all. Some of
us are disposed to be'critical of their work
as being too complicated and as reaching
out in directions which do not directly help
the pupil in the work of his after life
Some wish that the public schools should
stick closer to the three Rs. This does not
apply TO the situation at this time. 1t takes
something more than the three RS to en-
able pupil 10 earn aeiving. 1t takes some
thing more than general education to afford
one competency. Z 1t takes special. prac-
tlcal, gainful education TO help the pupil to
the same extent as the instruction in the
three r. twenty. thirty or more years ago.
Inc world has been moving. Inc teaching
OF drawing in the public schools has prac-
teal end. 1t does not mean the distinctive
is the work which the pupil is best suited to
do, all well and good. The teaching of
drawing in the public schools may develop
artists with the hammer, artists with the
chisel, artists with clay, artists in tapes
tries, in fabrics, dress goods, artists with
the saw, artists with the needle and the
scissors. 1t is in the direction OF the edu-
cation of productive, gainful artists. 1t
means adding art and value to raw mate
rial. 1t means adding value to the service
and value to the material service of the
individual who changes this raw material
into artistic or practical form. 1t takes no
more material or labor to make a beautiful
form than it does an ugly one. 1t takes no
more material TO make valuable form
than it docs a cheap or ugly one. 1t is a
question of artistic and workmanlike APP
probation. This is one thing to which the
teaching of drawing and manual work in
our schools tends. Beauty and added value
come from the mind and skillful hand. 1t
is not question of the quantity of service
so much as the quality"
