published on the subject I wonder that the educa-

Mr. Brooks drew picture OF the average country

ugly box in an ugly place. for which no beautify-
ing attempt has been made. The inside is some
thing ugler still. there is counterpart always
between the outer and inner thing.

problem, where all occupations employing unskilled
labor are so overloaded as TO create peril 10 the

Mr. Brooks declared that by the old method the
underlying principles OF learning are as distracted
from life as religion used 10 be, and as politics
still Is 10 a large extent. Instead OF teaching the

The most practical litter yet constructed for carry

1t has been stated publicly that owing to the
formation OF trusts manufacturers of textile
and other products the great establishments pur-
chase fewer designs than formerly. and that the
interests OF designers have suffered a serious
degree in consequence An alsrrs,Sx case is not
shown. however, IN the experience of the schools
where the arts OF design taught.
The facts learned from these institutions ind-
cate no falling of OF prospects in the bread and
cheese lines Of activity. From all accounts II ap-
pears that persons who offer good designs in the
market are not less fortunate than in previous
years
Among those who confirm this impression is Miss

conditions those described.
