SECOND RENAISSANCE.
Another Revival of Art, II Is elaine
cd In NEEDED.

Another Revival of Art, II Is elaine
ed, Is Needed.
IN order to reform our present stereo-
typed methods Of art we want a sec
ond renaissance. For long years we
have done nothing but turn out from
our colleges young men stuffed with
useless scientific lumber, and they very
quickly lose it all, and there is nothing
to take its place. This is not to be won
sdered at when throughout Europe
there is such a neglect of art in our ed
ucation. It may be replied to me that
the inventions of science compensate
for the deficiency, but these inventions
are almost exclusively if not quite a
mere increase in the power of the bod
lily senses and faculties the telegraph
in that Of the tongue, the telephone in
that of the ear, the railway in that Of
the legs, the Photographic science in
that of the eye-and these inventions
leave In ignorance the more intellectual
part of the individual. Your portrait
can be taken, your voice boxed up this
is extraordinary but the soui which
commands, the god which is in the
head, is forgotten.
And yet the means for altering this
state of things is near at hand, Is be-
meath our eyes. We, have still the same
nature that inspired those anonymous
sculptors to give US the Gothic; we still
have sufficient number Of Gothic
masterpieces intact-so many epitomes
of nature, as l have said-to show
what can be done by the man who
starts with his vision open to her
