rubbed it into him pretty hard and often

thing but in a thousand worse ways.
He's made the mistake-and I'll be id

of posing TO the boy as pattern of what
he ought to be. All this God-and- moral

wickedness of politics in Jupiter and that

was most effectively displayed.
Art in our public schools is taught no
longer as professional training with the
hope of assisting some chance genius to
manifest his or her gift but as an all
essential means of culture as something
eminently practical and closely related to
everyday life. For this reason the sub
ject is approached very differently from
the way it was formerly.
Oddly enough, in this elementary teach
ing the students begin at the top rather
than at the bottom of the ladder. That
is, they begin by considering results
Drawing-a certain amount of drawing
does come first but it is more in the
way of a drill for hand and eye than
as an accomplishment. Then comes the
color work, studies in harmony and the
relative values of torres. in the corridor
at the top of the stair at the Central
High School. where this exhibition was
on view, were several groups of expert
mental work by the students along this
line. The primary and secondary colo-s
were shown. each applied TO the same
object or unit of design and in juxtaposi-
tor. Then. from these various grada-
tions of color were apparently deduced
and applied to simple compositions The
same little landscape was seen, inter
preted in many varying tints. lavenders.
grays. greens, blues. each literally in
monotint and yet very effective. :,
Farther on immediate and practical
application was noticed to have been
made. series of studies showed the
coloring of a gown. its trimmings. etc.
Another set forth screens alike in outline,
but varied in tint to alphabetically suit
a certain room, the furnishings of which
were described Again sofa cushions and
table coverings were colored with view
to harmony in surroundings. and lastly
the problem of whole room was found
to have been studied. This may sound a
little like kindergarten practice. but the
work displayed serious study, and 1t must
not be forgotten that so far as artistic
perception goes the ma jority of our peo
pie are still in the kindergarten class.
But this is not all. The students at
the Central High School publish paper
which they illustrate themselves. Some
excellent cover designs, together with the
blocks. from which they were printed were
included in this exhibition Clever stem

painting which was by the way. the sift
of Mr.. and Mrs. Larz Anderson, but all
may be assured that its effectiveness has
been greatly enhanced. The "Diana of
the Tides" has received much conmenda-
ton but to adequately Judge mural

which it was designed. If mural paint

more than on easel picture affixed tn the

duce similar gifts. Mr. Elliott is an il
