All teachers of drawing have the
problem of keeping the ambition of
the pupil reined in to the drudging
pace of his technical advancement. The
degree of facility in drawing is always
far behind a power adequate to at
tempt the pretentious subjects TO
whicllA he aspires. No matter how
far technical difficulties may be OBJ
waited or avoided, the pupil is impa-
tient for achievements beyond the
progressive step that leads to theic
production.
While the present system has the
one object of subjecting teacher and
pupil to as little OF the drudgery of the
drawing school as possible, it has not
the fatuous hope that some of the
reasonably slower steps in advance
ment will not prove unreasonably irk-
some to some children.
Stories to Interest Children.
The teacher has been through the
mill, ard knows how slow it is to grind
fine or even to grind at all, and it
is not for him that this consideration
is given, but for the child. There is

An energetic young woman living

LEAGUE OF GOLDEN PEN.
Band of Writers Who Garry Cheer
and Comfort to Many Bur-
dened Souls.

Not long ago a certain minister, inn
pressed by experiences in his own
work, particularly by the great results
ter, suggested the forming of q
league for writing letters. There were
to be no officers, no dues, no bylaws.
Anyone could become member who
would promise to write single let
ter a month to one who was sick or
of the band was to be the League of
the Golden Pen.
The idea took at once, says Youths
Companion. In few months there
were hundreds of names enrolled i'll
the League of the Golden Pen, and
the number is steadily increasing. The
simple suggestion of the name has
been the means OF carrying cheer and
comfort to hundreds of burdened souls.
Now and then, among the laments
for the old days and ways-Which
doubtless began with Adams grand
children-we hear regrets for the van
ished art of letter-Writing. Ii by LEI
ters are meant the voluminous per-
petrations of century or more ago,
filled with disquisitions upon philos-
ophy and long rhapsodies upon love
and friendship, it is true that their
age has passed.
But the real letter, whether it con-
tains chatty pages full of homely
everyday scenes and events or mere
ly few lines OF love and encourage
ment, will never pass so long as hui
man hearts endure; and never were 50
many such letters written as to-day.
Christmas letter missions, prison let
ter missions, bands and societies for
sending letters to invalids and hos
pital patients, and lonely men AMI
women in PARKWAY places, are con-
stantly increasing.
'.She learned little about books a
wealthy woman said of lonely little
school-teacher whom she had discov-
cred and helped from her own splen-
did resources, "but / learned a great
deal about very lovely SOUL" 1t is
an exchange that is becoming more
and more common; for to-day, as
never before in all the centuries, the
whole world, rich and poor, sorrowfu;
and rejoicing, is being bound together
by the League of the Golden Pen.

Going Fishing" has not freedom of ex-
preston, but it has good proportion.
and its attempt to give character and
costume has been successful, for
the picture purpose is not lost sight
of in giving these accessories. 1t shows
that the pupil understood the purpose
of his training.
The episode of the hornets nest is
along conventional lines, and shows
the intention of telling the story plain
~, if not with the grace shown in some
of the other pictures. Here the teach
er might be able to take the material

is a good idea, but not in the best ex-
preston.

what obvious arrangement The child
could not be expected to foreshortea

make an unjust or unreasonable criti-
cism. The background is interesting
