Los Angeles herald., 1910-07-24

Again the Los Angeles chapter leads
for it is organizing the largest number
of classes of any chapter in America,
and through this medium is demon
strating the ethical value of the Amer
lean Womans league. The Peoples
university of University City Is affili-
ated with the leading correspondence
schools of the United States, and all
members of the American Woman's s
league and their minor children have
the free benefit of over 100 courses, an
opportunity backed by signed con-
tract between the Peoples university
and correspondence schools having ma
tional and international fame. The
courses range in price from $40 to $3.50
to non-members.
Correspondence schools have been a
great feature in the worlds education
al plan, but unless students have an
ardent desire for knowledge they are
not wholly satisfied with the results
from correspondence courses. To slim
ulate and encourage study, classes are
formed in every chapter house in the
country. Last winter DR.. Henrietta b.
Sweet organized ten weeks course In
body building. With the acquisition of
the new chapter house at 1882 West
Forty-ninth street a large number or
classes are being formed, and members
contemplating courses of study are
their first lesson in order that they
| may enter the class Immediately.
FORM ART CLASS
Members who enrolled in the art
| classes met Miss Margaret Spaulding,
only daughter of Pearl Adams Spaul-
ding, at the chapter house Saturday
afternoon and organized the art class,
which promises to be one OF the most
profitable and delightful in the courses.
1t holds the distinction of being the
first class actually organized in the
chapter house. Miss Spaulding has
gone to st. Louis as an honor student,
the youngest in the United States, haV-
ing passed the rigid requirements en-
tftling her to the supreme honor con-
ferred by the league.
Miss Spaulding talked informally of
her ideal OF art, which task she oe-
clared was difficult for girl OF 10 TO
nut into words. She said in part:
1.-The spirit behind the work of an
artist means everything, for 1t is the
spirit of a picture which makes II
great A work of technical beauty
without a soul, without the spirit which
comes from working under inspiration,
is after all of little use in the world
except to those who understand ana
appreciate its technique.
MUST LOVE ART
''Ono WHO WOulu UG d IiuAy 70 NSNN -
ist must work, never for fame ana
glory for himself, but work for the love
of it and because he is filed with de-
sire to give the world something or
beauty.
TT is said genius is merely the Ca
pacity for hard work, but it seems TO
me one must be sensitive to the subtle
laws of color and form, and appreciate
beauty wherever it is found. An artist
must have a love for art that nothing
can discourage, and he must possess a
power to concentrate and have Will
ingness to work hard"
Members who have not yet started
their art course at the Peoples uni
yersity should write to Ralph Chesney
OFT, Peoples university, University
city, st. Louis, Mo-, concerning the
course they desire. and he will send IL
booklet giving all directions for ma
terial necessary and other information.
The various departments of the art
classes will be conducted under the
direction of the teachers who are mem
hers of the league and contribute their
time to a furtherance of art study.
