bell AS they are among the older pu-
pills whose superior talents and training
are generally conceded, the younger pu-
pills did not venture to compete against
them. For the local scholarships there
were sixteen competitors and interest
runs high in specializing on the winners.
The list of the winners Of these scholar
ships is practically a roll Of the most
capable and indefatigable workers of the
school. The committee of awards this
year included Max Bohm, H. N. Gaustn
and Mr.. Koehler. The award of the
Chase scholarship is made in New York.
This prize has been won in previous years
by Oscar Bradley, Gustav Goetsch and
Miss Edith Reed, who is in the Chase
school this year. Both of the other
holders of this prize are at present in
Minneapolis. Mr.. Bradley has worked
at the Chase school three years, while
Mr.. Goetsch returned to the Minneapolis
school after his year in New York.
Mi, Goetsch has been one Of the helpful
and inspiring factor in the art school
life this year. He is very receptive and
has the gift of passing both knowledge
and inspiration to others, 50 he has shared
with his fellow workers in the school the
results Of busy and profitable year In
New York. Mr.. sGoetsch expects to re-
main in Minneapolis studying In the art
school until he can afford to go abroad.
He is entitled to more than ordinary
credit for his success, as he not only does
full school work but supports himself
attention to portrait painting and has
been using several of the students as sub
| jects.
Most Of the school pupils give their
whole time to art study, but two of the
most promising pupils, Cyrus Brown and
Royal Rheem, are in the high school,
working at the art school in the after
noon sketch class Tuesday and Thursday
afternoons and in the night life class Royal
Rheem, who Is. sophomore, began his
work as an art student in the children S
class and has climbed steadily onward I'M
til his work ranks among the best. He
still continues to attend the children S
class in order to work Saturday morning,
and during his vacation last week he put
! in all his time at the art school. He has
missed the life class but twice in the
year.
The presence Of few mature pupils in
the school has had an excellent effect, as
their experience and sympathy are very
helpful combination. Mrs. Burke .moth-
ers" the school In the most genial fashion

and active assistance are of great value
