TWENTY-FIVE THOUSAND ART
STUDENTS IN NEW YORK.

"There are more than $4,000 art
students in New York this fall" said
an artist TO the New York Sunday
World, "They are scattered among
20 or 80 art schools, and never before
has there been such Il large number
of young people studying painting,
sculpture and architecture in this
city"
The majority OF the art schools
opened last week, some of them have
been open for a month; most Of them
are not yet full, for the influx of stu
dents continues until the winter.
Seventy-five per cent of these young
men and women are from the west
and south. New York now offers such
splendid advantages for the study of
art that it is taking its place beside
Paris.
None of the great art schools has
yet made up its figures, for these are
not tabulated until the classes are
complete which does not take place
for several weeks after the opening,
but careful estimates give the follow
ing approximate figures for the larger
schools:
Art students League, 1000; New
York school of Art, 750: Cooper Union
Night School of Art, $500: Cooper
Union Women's Art School $50; Guild
of Arts and Crafts. 500; Pratt Insti-
tute, 1900; National Academy of De-
sign, 500; Educational Alliance De-
partment of Fine Art, zoe; General
Society of Mechanics and Tradesmen
Art School. 800; Columbia University
School of Fine Arts, 500; Columbia
Teachers College Department of Fine
Arts. 375: New York School of APP
| piled Design for Women. $50.
These are the largest classes, but
there are many Others including the
Columbia University School of Archi-
lecture, Brooklyn Art School, the art
/ classes of Adelphi College, Manhattan
College, the Brooklyn Polytechnic and
the Y. NJ. c. a. The Hebrew Techni-
cal Institute, the Manual Training
High school (with its $500 puplls),
and the School of Decorative and APP
Piled Art are also in this category,
while there are many smaller and
| more or less restricted classes, such
as the Russell Illustration Glass, the
Society of Beaux Art and the Evelyn
Nordhoff Bookblndery, which together
serve to bring up the total to an un-
precedented figure.
This multitude of students is scat
tered all over town. For the most
part poor, they club together and rent
q studio, in which three or four of
them live. work, eat and sleep. Many
of these earnest young folks have to
practice the most rigid economy in
order to gain the knowledge that they
hope will make them great artists.
The rapidity with which New York
is growing as an art center is further
illustrated by the immense increase
in the number of studio buildings
where many floors are filled will

ROCKEFELLER'S IRON FENCE.

"The crop which 1 consider to be
most precious" said John d. Rookie
feller in one of his recent Sunday
talks, "is goodwill to all men" And
now Mr.. Rockefeller is building 20
mile iron-spike fence around his Po-
cantico Hills estate.
II is true that even goodwill can be
abused. The careless drivers who
have cut up Mr.. Rockefeller's lawn
borders and the vandals who have
raided his fruit trees and flower beds
have scattered thorns in his crop
most precious" They have returned
rascality for goodwill. Nevertheless,
It is a pity about the fence.
Mr.. Rockefeller's Pocantico acres
are 6OOO They hem in Tarrytown on
one side as does the Hudson on the
other. Before Mr.. Rockefeller ac-
uuired them they we're for many years
the picnic places and the rambling
places of the village next to the river.
The iron fences will shut off every
thing but a county road going east and
a state road going from It south.

Is THE EARTH A PLANE?

Apparently having noted the state
ment in recent issue of the Repub-
lican that Springfield is 65.S feet above
the sea level, Aurin F. Hill of Boston,
who Is described as an architect, sends
the following highly interesting letter:
Springfield is about 100 miles from
Boston. Is this grade at Springfield
correct? If the earth were globe
5000 miles in diameter, Springfield
ought to be about 6666 above or below
Boston. Is it? Can our engineers
survey a level and a straight line-a
horizontal line-from Boston to
Springfield? / think they can. l
think they did it, and by their works
prove that this earth is plane and
stands fast. They prove by their
works that water is level-straight on
it's surface. Consider the curvature on
globe 5000 miles in diameter at the
center of the circle; also at what we
call AZ degrees north latitude, going
east or west. We are living on plane
that stands fast. st."-Springfield Repub-
| lican.

THE STATE is NOT GUILTY.

The Des Chutes land and irrigation
companies which have been exposed
before the state land board during the
past week have taken money under
all kinds of false pretenses from inno-
cent settlers, and then have tried to
make the state responsible for their
crimes.
Settlers have been made to believe
that the state of oregon was doing the
irrigation work in the Des Chutes and
on this representation notes and IRON
clad contracts have been exacted
from settlers in advance of any re-
clamation work upon the land sold,
and then upon these notes and con-
tracts, used as collateral, money has
been secured by the company and
contracts bearing interest. have been
used as evidence Of value upon which
to sell bonds.
What did these companies expect
to do with the settlers? Did they eN-
pect to commit wholesale robbery by
selling lands % miles from any irri-
CATION scheme, as irrigated lands? Did
they expect the state engineer to con-
nive with them to deceive and defraud
the settler?
1t is time the state board investi-
gated this matter. oregon is being
made IA party to Il disagreeable and
wholesale system of land booming"
in which many innocent settlers are
being deceived. The state cannot af-
ford to bear this stigma.
The Des Chutes country is perhaps
all right. 1t can be reclaimed and set
tied and converted into prosperous
communities under proper methods.
But proper methods must prevail.

PRAISE FOR HITCHCOCK.

Eastern sentiment concerning the
Oregon land frauds and the work of
Secretary Hitchcock of the Interior
department is expressed freely in the
eastern press.
The papers reflect the general SEN
tlment. Evidently Hitchcock is the,
hero of the hour in the east, no mat
ter how bitterly he may be cursed on
the ranges and in the forests of de-
spoiled Oregon.
The following from the New York
World is an example of the sentiment
which is going through the leading
papers of the east, and which will have
an effect on congress. in spite of pro-
tests and pleadings from the west.
The World says:
Secretary Hitchcock continues to
reap the fruits of his admirable cam
paign against the western land thieves.
Saturday the court sentenced John
n. Williamson, representative In con-
gress from the Second Oregon district,
who was convicted of completely in
the frauds, to serve 10 months in
prison and pay fine of $500. This
Is a more severe sentence than that
imposed upon Senator Mitchell, who
was condemned to serve six months in
prison and pay a fine of $1,000.
Before Secretary Hitchcock closes
his official career it is likely that the
stealing of government land will cease
TO be one of the established industries
Of the west When he began his work
the thieves promised to drive him
from office. He is now driving them
TO the penitentary.
The campaign against the criminals
who have made a business of lootine
the public domain reflects great credit
upon President Roosevelts admins
tration, but more especially upon ar
able, honest and fearless secretary OF
the interior who has steadfastly re-
fused to be deferred by threats or in
fluenced by organized political rascal
