BEFORE ART STUDENTS ASSOCIATION
Ms Robert L. Scales Described the Work of Decent Bos
 ton Museum of Fine Arts Bringing the Public School Children into Touch With Art-LocaI Art Association Planning to do Some of This Work Later in the Season.

At the regular monthly meeting of the Art Students' association held in the Peek library Tuesday evening Mrs Robert L. Scales, who is a docent at the Boston Museum of Fire Arts, gave an interesting talk upon features of this work It is a quite new departure, having been started first in this coun- try in Boston in 1907. 1t aims to bring the Enuser1a into more familiar toucs1 with 4fle people and especially with the children in the public schools
 Mrs. Sayies spoke Of the lectures on art given through this agency In the schools, of the classes from the schools that come to the museum to be guided and Informed by tfe doceut, and of the classes taught in drawing and design. Story telling has been used with youn&er children and half tones have been made Of museum objects for use in school work Tn every place the aim is the san1s-to bring the children to the museum,
 The first thing the dccent tries to do is to have the child observe. Tn order to learn 1t is necessary to concentrate the attention Various ways may be used to make him think.
 Another aim is to make the past live again for the children. Illustrations in textbooks have been a help in this, but the objects themselves are better still. They show the human side of history in the life of the people.
 -A third aim is to make art alive. Beauty is not a thing apart. but may be easily connected with things in daily life as a stepping stone out into the world. In Worcester stories on architecture sent the children looking for exanples1on every street.
Norwich bulletin., 1914-12-16

A founth aim is to develop taste in art, to give the child a. standard by which to judge. He may be gently led to see the clement of simplicity in all beauty, the restraint shown in line and color harmony, and in the suitability to use. Then, for a few, there is the distinct airn of discovering artistic talent
 Last Of ail.s the museum may become a place where the child comes into a new world away from all 1rudgery and dreariness, where cost is an unimpor- tant item and only beneyolence and the learn to see things in a large way that makes him broad minded and gives f1appiness and joy. The chief re. Quirement for a docent she gave as enthusiasm and friendliness. There should be an atmosphere of refine rnent and good manners. Knowledge is also necessary and artistic training q great he1p-
 Many questions were asked at the close of her talk.
 The art association is planning later in the year to do some of this kind of work, and F. J. Leavens expressed the desire of the Academy trustees to cooperate with the other schools
 Supt E. c. Graham thanked them for the opportunity. and Miss Nancy Lucas. president of the Art Students association, said the latter would be most happy to be useful.
 Miss Marshall spoke of the ways in which the museum is already used and Principal H, A. Tirrel asked for more pupils in the Saturday morning chil- dren's class of the art school.

ELECTRICITY IN RAIN DROPS
German Scientist Has Measured the
Charse-pescribes Results Of His
investigation.

Rain drops are almost always
charged with electricity The charge
is often positive, rarely negative
Many observers have measured the
charge approximately and made it
from 100000, 600, ,0OO,O00,01 to 0.00O.
100000. 0.000.001 amperes per square
centimetre. Prof. f. Herath of Kiel
describes in the Revue Electrique the
experiments by which he has meas
ured them.
He received the rain on a fine me
tallic cloth 25 metres square insulat
ed and attached to galyanometer in
cellar. The galvanometer registered
phoiosraphically. Amcng the facts he
proves are these:
Rains with constantly positive
charge are much more frequent than
those that change to g negative. The
passage from positive to a negative
charge corresponds to a momentary
cessation Of the shower. The quaint
ty of positive electricity brought by
the rain is fifteen times greater thar
that of the negative. The positive
currents in a steady rainfall are about
0000 600. Geo, o,000,000.1 amperes pei

rents never exceed 100000, 0,000, 900.

Immoral and Immoral.

Are you immoral or immoral? Dc
not answer too quickly. for if you are
only immoral we may be able to over
look it. Immoral stands to immoral
in much the same relation as unre.
generate stands to degenerate. If you
commit some act CT which the arbiters
of either disapprove. the category that
you go in all depends on whether the
arbiters have previously brought the
ethical constitution and bylaws to
your notice. If they have already told
You that a certain thou shalt not ex
lists, then you are immoral II you dis
obey 1t. II. however, you are still in
an untaught state of sheer savagery
then you are merely immoral, and
instead Of being the victim of execra.
ton and contumely. you are entitled
to all the .emoluments and perquisitea
OF any other savage. Ignorance of the
civil or criminal laws excuses no one
but ignorance of the moral law does
count for a little these discriminatiye
days.-Lippincott's.
