Horlocker addressed members of
Cumnock school on this topic the
other day and said: mo absolute
rule may be laid down for art, be-
cause it differs with each individual.
For real appreciation of art, Nature
gives material first of all. If you de-
sire to make a basket, go out and
gather the grasses in the marsh your
self. If you desire to mold pottery,
in the school in the school auditorium
the Indians did of old. Everything
that we wear has in it thought and
the principles of art-color, light,
shade, subordination and the many
other forces. The wall paper, the rugs
and the details of the home are full of
possibilities for the application of art" ."

great woman which she read last week
