An exhibition OF pupils art work was
held at the Central High School last Mon
day. Several hundred drawings both in
black and white and color were set forth,
and In all most excellent showing was
made. Here. as elsewhere the effort is to
cultivate art appreciation and to facilitate
individual power of expression. Only one
or two forty-five minute periods a week
are given to the work, but excellent re-
suits are accomplished. In black and white
there were clear-cut outline drawings of
stlil life objects, pencil studies of the same
groups boldly shaded, exercises in lettering
and silhouette ink sketches made from a
living model. besides charcoal work from
casts and life. Much artistic feeling as
well as accurate craftsmanship, was mani
tested in all this work, and the size of the
exhibit precluded the inference that il was
composed merely of the work of a talented
few. Surprisingly clever were the life
sketches made by blocking in light and
shadow as fiat tints, and peculiarly prom
