Apr IN RICHMOND.

There seems to be. some confusion IN
the public mind concerning the Art Clup
Of Richmond and the Art School. The SIN
gle fact lis that the two arc insperaply as
cociated, the Art School being tho creature
of the Art Club. The club is the patron
and promoter of art In THIS community,
while tho school Is its hand-maidens. Inc
club Is made up of men and women VINO
love art for arts sake, WHO know lts
value and It's delights, and who are ae.
slrous Of sharing their pleasure with
others. They know that the beautiful IL
closely related TO the true and the good
as Cousin has so forcefully demonstrated
and they know that those who learn to
love that which is beautiful, VIII almost
surely hnve to love that which is true
and GOOD. The good Lord did not make
the beautiful things of this world ioI
mere show; nor altogether for mans en-
joyment but for his benefit and better
mcnt, us well. The coloring of the flowers

to draw all men to 1t.
There Is much of art In a genuine admi-
ration Of the beautiful; there Is more, OF
course, In the ability to reproduce witt
pencil and brush, and so the Richmond
Art Club has a two-fold purpose. Through
the parent organization 1t designs to cult.
vate taste for art, among the people
and through It's school 1t designs to trair
those who have the artistic talent. The

is an exhibition of the best pictures ir
order that the public may admire. and
in order that students may have an object

hibition this year Is the best Of all.
1t is a noble work. 1t is an educational
work, and 1t is exerting an influence for
good over the entire community. The
work has been going on for eight years
and progress from year to year Is noted
The Art Club is not an organization OF
artists only. 1t is an organization Of those
who love art and no previous training Is
required for membership in the club. o,
