bore his name, and is now known as

ert Herr is the head instructor of this
school, and on account of his tendency
TO impressionism, he and Mr.. Chase
could not agree, with the result that
the latter severed his connection com
pletely and now gives instruction at

The models posing in the schools are
very interesting characters. One
