Influence Of the Madonna.

In illustration Of the effectiveness OF
the work done by the Public School Art
society q pathetic story came to Mre.
John B. Sherwood, president Of the 80
ciety, last week. In one of the schools
10 the poorer districts where collec-
ton Of pictures belonging to the society
has been loaned. there is good copy OF
the Sistine Madonna One day a little
girl came to the teacher Of the room
where the picture hung and asked that
she might change her seat. She was a
timid little girl. and the teacher tried to
discover the reason without avail. The
child would not say that anything an
noyed her where she was and would
give no reason. She showed the teach
or the seat she would like to have. At
night the little girl was kept after
school, the teacher being determined to
find out the secret Of her wish to change
After some hesitation the child told
her whole story. Her mother had died
two months before. and she said there
was something in the face Of the Sistine
Madonna that reminded her Of her
mother. Her seat was changed and
she appeared happier after that.
There are some people," said Mrs.
Sherwood, "who object to the Madonna
10 schools. but with this example Of
what the picture means to childre" it
is difficult to sustain such objections.
1t means simply the mother to children.
Consciously or unconsciously, they
seem to gather something Of it's
spirit. 1t has been shown to us time
after time in some little incident from
the schools"
