~N this page are shown illustrations
Of an ingenious new system OF
~ teaching the art OF drawing
human figures In action-a German sys-
tenn formulated and taught in booklets
issued by ]. f. Schrieber. OF Esslingen
and Munich, the first principles OF which
are based on lines Of the skeleton.
Such q method Of teaching drawing
seems to be right in line with the most
modern instruction in all the arts. There
are certain teachers Of the plano and
violin who achieve remarkable results by
concentrating their attention on difficult
technical essentials. the mastery OF which
Is considered to mean short cut 10
broad and complete virtuosity.
The modern composers, particularly OF
grand opera. no longer hold themselves
slayishly to laws of harmony and coun-
terpoint set forth in the books of Hans
Richter and from which Bach. Mozart
and Beethoven were not brave enough to
depart. Mascagni. Puccini. Leoncavailo
and others declare their independence
and permit themselves to write anything
$50 long as 1t sounds good"
Wagner was similarly independence
an extent which moved the late Bill Nye
to confess his conviction that. "Wagners
music is much better than 1t sounds.

he first teaches his pupils the anatomy
of the human body, but dwelling par

required to measure and analyze the

all tho proportions.
The pupil then practices drawing skele-
ton figures In simple lines. When ne IN

skeleton figures depict the human body

movements.
Some Of the examples required are: A

'The more you practise the drawing OF
skeleton men the greater Will be your

The student Is required to dress his

a woman, noting the fall Of the skirt. He
is taught how shadows bring out tho

MIND BLANK 40 YEARS;

William Exline, whose mind was
made blank by an explosion forty
years ago. is now trying to recon

An explosion wrecked the mill and

many days between life and death,

was mentally deranged.
