APPLES AND MUG.

AS these articles do not purpose to
expound theory in drawing. but to
make drawing practical for the home
and school under the direction of
teachers not specially trained as
teachers of drawing, every aid to that
purpose will be suggested
Now Try Object Drawing.
1t seems that at this point object
drawing might be practiced by the
pupil, to the better knowledge, of form
and as help to the better under
standing Of character of line and ac-
cent, as spoken of above.
Again it is suggested that this
drawing need not be followed with an
idea of perfecting the student in mere
accuracy of drawing as is often under
stood in object drawing, and as it is
usually practiced in our schools. To
do this would be to return to the copy
plate, and groups of blocks and solids,
and the purpose of giving the pupil
free expression to his ideas through

INDIAN PROVERBS.

When . fox walks lame old rabbit
jumps.
The paleface's arm Is longer than
his word.
No Indian ever sold his daughter for
a name.
Small things talk loud to the In

A squaw's tongue runs faster than
the winds legs.
There is nothing SO eloquent as

The Indian scalps his enemy, the
paleface skins his friends.
Before the paleface came there was
no poison in the Indians corn.
There will be hungry palefaces 50

Mrs. Mary Gagner, of No. 578 South

proves that some of the greatest bless

and yet be found only by mere chance.

Piles with freedom from the restraint
Of too mechanical forms, from sub
jects already treated The simple
symbol forms are traceable under
these freer forms, but the geometric
treatment is quite discarded. The
accent of line and color that has been
suggested from time to time Is here
used freely, and detail that has been
carefully eliminated is now en-
ployed.
AS was stated at first, the symbols

rather suppose that by this time the
pupil has formed in his symbol draw

one that is no longer adequate to the
growing complexity of his ideas.
When he finds he can give a table

by squares and rounds when he can
employ freer form would be mis-
take equal to demanding an elaborate
ly understood drawing when at most
the drawing of a formal parallelo-
gram could be expected As the next
article will give the pupil the illustra-
ton of story themes, it is advisable
to free as much as possible the ex-
preston of the drawing. The circles
might stand for apples and squares
for houses, but there is no idea of
suggesting comparison of the SYM
bols to the free drawing of the actual
forms.
Try Work Like Samples.
Let the pupil try some of his ia
miljar themes in the way now sug-
gested. Lay out the picture plan by
the simple means he has learned and
over the mechanical lines and forms
draw a picture with the added ex-
pression of accent and color The ex-

amples here given are variations upon
subjects given in previous articles.
Note the widening lines that suggest
roundness and shadow. Note the
weight and force of lines in the fore
ground compared to the fainter lines
in the distance, as well as the distri-
button of color in such wise as to give
relief and solidity to the picture. 1t
will be seen that to so study the draw
ing will give vitality and conviction
that the thin mechanical line never
conveyed.
It is In this distinction that the
artistic temperament makes itself
manifest. 1t can feel line and ex-
press itself through it, but without
that temperament the drawing must
remain cold and without feeling.
Beyond correctness of proportion and
absoluteness of form there is a
quality that makes the drawing live.

symbol of 1t, or perhaps It may cease
to be a symbol, and become simpli-
fed drawing, In which case the end,
however reached, has been attained.
The insistence of this in the school
lesson-that is, the actual drawing Of
objects in classrOom-is not advisable,
for reasons given when object draw
ing was spoken of previously. Let it
be matter of outside practice with
the individual child, as the other
form of observation has been. The
purpose is not to see how well he does
the barn, but how we'll he can usc the
observation gained by the drawing it.
The extent OF the drawing and the
subjects to be attempted need be linn
tied only by the use that the pupil
can make of his effort.

greensboro Industrial News.

Greensboro Industrial News.
Many and important problems are
now confronting the people OF North
Carolina along all lines, but there Is
no ones amOng the number greater
than the question OF developing the
great natural resources OF the State.
Geographical and geological differ
enccs make the various portions of
the State diSsimilar. but each and
every portion has been plentifully
and richly endowed by nature and
natures gifts await the hand Ofthrift
and enterprise.
We boast OF many of our achieve
ments, and boast with good reason,
but too little attention is paid to the
question ofpstablishing i'll small units
various enterprises throughout the
rnral districts and small towns.
4 large factory or mill in large
town adds much to the business and
prosperity of that city. But dozen
small factories do far more good
than one large one, and are moreover
within the reach Ofmen whose limited
means prevents the establishment OF
n mammoth plant.
This is too much an age OF big
things. The people have gotten the
fever for bigness and this has made
them neglect smaller but equally at
tractive opportunities.
The raw material for almost every
kind of manufacturing plant may be
found broadcast over the State. En-
ployees may be easily gotten in the
small towns and the running eXpen-
SEES are comparatively low.
The man who today makes money
for himself and prosperity for the
State is the man who makes things
who turns into finished products
the formerly useless raw material
which has been put within our reach
but must. by its very nature, remain
useless until it receives the magic
touch of man.

time nearly all the older business
| houses of the town have improved or
! enlarged their quarters and in many
cases have greatly extended their
business.
+ The past year has been marked by
some municipal improvements OF
great value and Importance. A hand
some and cost v graded school build
ing for the white children is almost
completed and will be ready for o.
cupancy in a short while. This build
ing will be complete and up-to-datt
in all particulars, and will be a great
credit to the town. A commodiOus
brick building has also been secured
for the colored graded school and
thoroughly fitted up for school pur-
poses.
Nothing accomplished during the
past year has added more to the APP
pearanre and comfort of the town
than the improvements of the streets.
The main street has been macadam-
| lied, stone curbings and drains put
in, and the walks of the business
streets covered with granolithic pave
ment GranOlithic pavements have
been laid also to the churches, public
buildings and many private resi-
dences, and pavements OF vitrified
brick have been laid on many side
streets, an Improvement that is to
be extended in the near future. All
this has added immensely to the
looks of the town, as well as enhanc-
ing business interests and the value
OF real estate, the latter having con-
stantly increased, building lots add
vancing from 30 to 40 per cent. in
the last three or four Years With
the new streets, the sewerage system
has been materially improved and
enlarged, practically extending
throughout the entire town and is
constantly being introduced into
other homes and business houses.
A valuable feature of Henderson
commercial life is the fact that it has
comparatively little foreign capital,
nearly all of its enterprises being
owned and run by citizens who are
thoroughly identified with the COM
mercial, social and moral life of the
town. Its business men are here to
live and not simply to make money,
and their views and purposes take in
more than mere increase of capt. al.
Having a dispensary, the town is
free of the bar-room and comparative
~ free OF it's vicousness and demorali-
zing Accomplishments. Henderson has
scarcely any slums, and is singularly
free from iunk-shops and filthy and
i'll smelling back streets, stands and
shops, as dangerous to health and
property as the groggery is to morals
and good order. The old ramshackle
frame buildings that were in evidence
a few years ago, here and there, are
rapidly disappearing, being replaced
bv brick stores and attractive resi-
dences. Quite a number of hand
some homes have been built in the
past year, with may more to follow
in 1906.
