of the Montana railroad and Northern

Minneapolis Times: Recent reportt
from New York i6dicats sthat Geo &c
W., Haiting. a Minnesota boy. ie
pushing rapidly to the front ID his srl
education. -~....=.@- .~~-.... .,..~
He 10 the son of p. K. Harting OF
Little Falls. and after his graduation
from the high school at that place he
came to study under Prof. Robert
Koehler at the Minneapolis School Of
Fine Arts, inntenHng to become a
newspaper cartoonist.
Under Professor Koehler's tutelage
'he developed rapidly, and finally de-
cided to devote all of bis time to
regular drawing and painting. he
made good progress in the black and
white work. his drawing always
showing strength and courage.
In 1900 he took the Hinkle scholar
ship at the local school. Later he was
made Professor KoehIer's assistant,
having charge of the Saturday even
ing classes.
Last year he won the Chase scholar
ship and as a consequence has been
attending the Chase school of art in
New York City during the rast year.
So excellent has his work been that
last spring he carried off the honors
in the illustration class, in the life
class and in composition and regular
drawing. These prizes will entitle
him to another year at school.
Last April he took an examin nation
for teaching drawing in the New
York city schools and out of 100 COM
petitors he received next to the high
est percentage, emitting him to life
certificate He has already been noti-
fed that he has been elected to fill a
vacancy in one of the city schools,
bnt has not yet decided to accept.
Mr.. Koehler considers him one of
the hardest workers that has ever been
enrolled in the school, though he
thought hard work always seemed to
come easy to him. Several studies in
color, a branch Of art just hegun this
year by Mr.. Harting, are now ex-,
hibited at the local art school, and
his former teacher thinks they show
possibilities of greater things.
Among the art students from
Minnesota now in New YORK are
Misses Knowlton, Hillside, Mauger,
Bates and Aliax Boxhuen of st. Paul,
who won the evening life scholarship; ;
Deroysier of Minneapolis, Van .solan
of St. Paul, Sterrett Of Alexandria,
Carlson of Winona, and Cirkler of
Minneapolis.
Mr.. Harting's record is the more
as during the latter half
of the year he has worked only half
the time, being employed in design
ing and illustrating establishment
