A Hole That City Men Are Not Now

by many, when the tender husband did

those simpler days grasped the eel Of
commerce, as the eel Of science, by the
tail, The statesman with Jovlan brow
and blue coat with brass buttons was
very human with a dried Goldfish
wrapped carelessly in brown paper un-
der bis eloquent arm. To see a highly
respectable citizen with demiiohr
was cheering sight. Nor was 1t be-
meath the dignity Of painful preacher
Of The word Of God to carry a pair Of
trousers to the tailor when the rent
was beyond the skill Of domestic in
genuity.
The present civilization may be real
or chrome; this at least is certain-the

ART NOTES.

The answers in last weeks Art Notes
to the question, "Why there is so little
interest manifested in drawing as a
study in Columbian" does not quite
reach the root of the trouble. The
facts are a system of drawing, graded
to fit the children of different ages, has
never been practiced in Columbia.
The teachers of art have always had
to begin at the wrong end of the sub
ject.
Suppose our two fourishing colleges
opened with the same large number of
students they have done, and will do
again, and all those students stated
they were seeking college course, but
not one of them had ever, learned the
alphabet of any written language, how
long would the schools be full, and how
many of those students would have the
courage to continue?
Until drawing is a part of the chill
drens regular course, art will never
flourish in Columbia.
If those who study art as a means of
culture, as for the practical beauty
growing out of the subject, or those
who study it with a view to business
such as engineering, or designing, or
architecture, had already some knowl-
edge of the rudiments, it would not
seem such discouraging journey to
attain something practical in the pur-
suit of it. Then too, many an embryo
artist would. be awakened, and find
themselves to the delight and pride of
their friends, or perhaps become known
to fame.
