"STGNS OF SPRING" Pictures by Herald Junior Artists
JUNIORS SHOW SCANT
INTEREST IN SUBJECT

VIZ HERE were all the Junior artists
w this week? The topic did not
seem to appeal to many of you.
or was it an unusually busy time? So
few pictures were received that the
editor begins to think that all Junior
artists have the measles.
If any of the young artists think of
a topic which would interest the rest,
just send it along 1t is good idea
for the Juniors to select thier own
topics as much as possible, only try
to think of something that will not
only interest you alone, but all the
other Juniors also.
l am going to talk little while to
the Juniors who cannot draw so very
well, but who try patiently each week
and tell them what is the matter. In
the first place. pay more attention to
proportions. Figures are hard to draw.
and it would seem to the beginner that
arms and legs never could be drawn
large enough, but that is a point where
so many of the Juniors fail. Then
think of the rest of the picture. TO
the unprecedented observer many of the
houses look about the size of chicken
coops Now this is not an exaggerated
case by any means. Pictures, just as
funny as this, are received every week,
and yet their owners wonder why they
don't get a prize
The topics given out are always suit
able for both the younger and the more
experienced artists. but while the boys
and girls who have drawn for years
and perhaps have taken lessons can
draw more elaborate designs the
younger ones can on the same topic
use a more simple idea. The pictures
which are reproduced are not chosen
with any relation to the age or ex-
perienee of the children who drew
them, but for themselves alone, and
the younger artists stand as good a
chance as the rest if they do not UNI
dertake such hard pictures. No one
can learn to draw all at once.
a word about RolandQ Rivera draw
ings He does some excellent work,
but of late his drawings show the car
toon or caricature style. His work
would improve if he devoted more of
his time to plain pictures and would
try to make them as little as possible,
like the comic supplement. He has
talent and if his work is only carefully
directed he will surely attain consider
able skill
Reginald Reynolds sent in a good
drawing, but he still writes his name
on the drawing itself. Walter Graham
used a good subject, but he needs a
little more training in proportions.
Caleb Barnett had some good ideas,
but his work showed the same fault.
Gladys Truscott used her ink well, but
her picture was not quite well ar
ranged, while Marguerite Biller used
blue ink on writing paper. Carey
Ballard also used blue ink. Josephine
Larson's picture was commendable.

on woman suffrage?
Would you please announce in n
convenient issue whether, if we get
first prizes in the drawing contest and

Your nephew,

1 do not know exactly what you

prizes than those we announce, but

thing more elaborate If knew exactly

Your suggestion of topics Is good. We
will use some of them soon.

can see it? If the ink l USED isn't the
right kind will you let me know what
kind to get? HELEN MACE.

There are over 10000 boys and girls
in rural schools in Colorado, and a
greater number in towns depending

state teachers meeting,
over 1000 teachers will study the

Denver will be asked to contribute
prizes for this state meeting.
These boys and girls clubs will
create an intense interest among the
school children of the state in the
wonderful factors in plant and animal
life. 1t will be found that the interest
in studying and handling growing
things will be carried to the regular
school studies. and the teachers will
find that greater interest in all studies
will be shown by club members.
The interest of the children in the
study of growing things, and in their
school work, will create an interest in
the schools on the part of parents
such as they have never shown before.

EARS, NOSE AND THROAT.

The sense of hearing is very va'ua.

colds. la grippe. measles, scarlet fever
and diphtheria.
The ears are connected with the
throat by two gristle-like tubes. 1t is
though these tubes that air is forced
INTO the middle ear cavities during the
act of swallowing. For good hear
ing there must be air In the middle

When either the tonsils or the ade.
