ART FOR SCHOOLS.

An Exhibition Of Pictures Will be Held
at Bakers Hall on February 22, 2s

This exhibition of pictures is one of
more than ordinary interest. 1t con-
sists of carbon photographs and en-
cravings, loaned by A. w. Elson & Co.,
Of Boston, Mass. The collection Is a
large one and contains only the very
best reproductions Of the masterpieces
of art of different countries and
periods. Nearly every gallery ana
country in the world would have to
be visited to see the original pictures
which are here brought together in
one collection. $ ..
An excellent catalogue has been
prepared, giving careful description Of

pictures relating to Egyptian and
Greek Art. and Italian painting, and
three periods in which the collection
is especially strong. There are ex-
hibited In addition over one hundred
important pictures of other. periods.
Few collections have ever been
brought together Which so completely
cover the history of, art of all times as
this. III
No city or town should be indiffer-
ent to the culture and refinement of
its people. It is part Of the work to
inculcate these qualities in the child
rem through whatever means it has at
its disposal. The wholesome and re-
filming influence of pictures of the right
sort on the school walls is now gener-
ally recognized as one of the most val
liable means of securing this end. The
funds for purchasing such pictures, as
we'll as an opportunity to make q
selection from very large number, is
secured by means of the exhibition.
The larger the attendance, the greater
the number Of pictures that can be
secured for the schools.
We hope you will not fail to visit
the exhibition, and believe you will be
fully repaid for the slight trouble and
expense in the pleasure and profit
you will gain for yourself, besides
helping on the work.
The entire proceeds above hall rent
and drayage will be used to buy pic
lures for the walls of the public
schools. 1t will be open on Monday
from ten o'clock until $3.50 p. m. On
Tuesday from 8 p: m. until $3.50 p. m
