BY JOHN RAY.

'sThe first schools of art in Italy were
not the best as some may think The
foremost of these early schools were
those of Pisa, Siena and Florence.
mot many of the artists from the
school of Pisa became famous. There
was large cemetery near by and it
was inclosed by high, thick, stone
wall, and on this wall the artists paint
ed their pictures. The subjects that
they were to paint were chosen by the
priests who also chose the colors. The
artists found it very hard to paint good
pictures from the ideas of the priests.
In few years the priests thought they
would have the wall whitewashed, and
thus covered up all the fine pictures.
After one or two hundred years the
whitewash began to peel off. This un-
covered the pictures, but left them
blurred, which made later artists un-
able to geta good reproduction of them.
Each color had certain meaning
For instance, Ted Imeant divine love,
blue meant faith and piety and white
meant purity.
1.-The school of Siena has furnished
the world with more famous artists
than that of Pisa This school was
narrow and exclusive, and because of
this failed some years later.
They formed new guild in 1885,
which was still more narrow and ex'
elusive than the other had been and
had also more of religious nature.
''The three greatest painters of this
school were, Duccio, Martini and
Lorenzette.

'sSome of the best and most famous
art schools were those of Italy, of which
Florence wasiprobably the greatest and
best.
"Of the other early schools, Siena and
Pisa, very little is known; in fact, we
owe most of our knowledge to Vasari,
a Florentine biographer, who favored
Florentine schools and who took good
care that he did not give any other
master higher place in his works than
those at Florence.
In Siena there had been very ex-
elusive committee or fraternity which
was practically the highest school OF
art in that city, but, being only for the
the chosen few, it soon ceased to exist.
1--WE must remember that just at this
period, known as the Renaissance orNew
Birth, art had just revived from heavy
slumber of several centuries; but the
revival was so mighty, so sudden, that
it surpassed the art of former times.
''In Pisa, a little more is known of
us masters III COlOES IAdu VI VIC AhooVOAo
of Siena.
'sNow it must be remembered that at
that time an artist was not at liberty to
execute his own designs; he had to obey
the priesthood and follow their direc-
tions, and, besides, he had to use colors
which perhaps.were not wholly artistic
in his opinion.
The Pisangmasters were therefore no
better off than any other masters.
I'm Pisa, at that time, there was
sort of cemetery, around which was a
smooth, high, stone wall. On the in
side of this wall was a sort of project
ing roof, which was supported by pill
lars. On the inside of this wall the
Pisan masters painted the ideas OF
themselves and of the priests.
''When the wall had become soiled
and defaced, the priests, who were very
clean, ordered them to be whitewashed.
Zone or two centuries later when the
whitewash had pealed off, the people
found these pictures still on the wall,
but for the most part those who painted
them were forgotten, and the pictures
were so badly injured that satisfactory
reproductions of them could not be
made.

"A THE Schools

The following original compositions
have been selected from a number sub.
mitted. They were written by pupils
of the 9th grade, whose teacher, Miss
Van Blarcum, notified them that when
ever the committee from the Art His.
tory club gave them talk upon art
history, they should take notes and
write composition upon the subject
presented.
To many of these girls and boys this
was new work. and how well they
listened and digested the little talk up
on Pisa and Siena, the following COM
positions will show.

cart is one of the grandest profess
sions on earth; it is everything; it is
complete, and all must yield to the
artists mind and imagination.
"Art today is not so grand, so great;
there are no more Raphaels, Angeles,
and Leonardo De Vincies; they have
all ceased to live.
Modern art is expressed in pen and
ink, and can be artistically portrayed,
yet in the most artistic pen-pictures of
modern times, the beautiful and sub
lime art of the old masters cannot be
expressed"
