The Register trusts hat the people
of Bookings will fully appreciate the
value of the art exhibit to be given by
the public schools of the city for the
purpose of purchasing pictures for the
school rooms and ~cultivating a taste
for art in the higher sense. 1t is a move
worthy of the support of ~Brookings
people and they should lend their sup
port and encouragement. The Register
plates the purchase of one of these
works of art as a gift to the schools,
believing that it will aid in cultivating
a taste for the aesthetic side which
needs the same stimulant as the physi-
cal, moral and other mental attain
ments.

Brookings won from Sioux Falls "a to 0

Brookings is considered the strongest
high school team in the state by many
critics is voiced in the following state

Cohen and Miss Eda Pachhaber.
DR.. Cohen has made special study
of child drawings and has written a
popular thesis covering a critical sur
vey of what has been done to date, and
has based his experiments upon the
thesis. It is fascinating to know that
the interest in child drawings dates
from Leonardo da Vinci, Of "Mona Lisa"
fame, who made the first active ccllec-
ton of such work Emmanuel Kant,
Herbert Spencer, Tolstoy and Rous-
seau added to the food of ideas on the
subject, but each was limited in his
scope and did not solve the problem.
Even as far back as Aristotle's time
drawing was taught in the schools.
Art Class for Most Talented.
DR.. Cohen is going one stride fur
ther through the formation OF an art
class for the development Of the most
talented of these and other children.
Phenomenal results were achieved
against the restrictions any public
school is bound to impose. DR.. Cohen
expects to destroy these restrictions
and give the children absolute freedom
for self-expression. In other words ne
feels that much OF the future of Amer
lean art lies in the hands OF these un-
known little ones who. without pre-
cents. without the rules of this-is-so,

couragement Of the quality Of nsiy.t.,
Of pure and natural expression.
By encouraging the emotional lie,
as against the scientific or fact life, By
doing so suggestiyely and By means Of
exercises in objective, memory and
imaginative drawing, and By intimsts-
ly associating the pupil with art ne
diums, Nature and the masters, and
leaving each and all questions to the
final intuition Of the child as opposed
to the didactics Of preaching, Dr..
Cohen and Miss Pachhaber have sue
ceeded where the Collins system
failed. OF course, in most pupils only
taste and judgment can be developed,
and in the rare few creation.
Collins Chart. Act as Clutches.
The Collins system, on the other
hand, offers chart drawings which chill
dren have to use as guides. II they
want to draw a tree or teapot or
doll they have to refer TO Collins
chart for enlightenment In the course
of time these charts act as crutehe''
The child no longer works Of its own
volition. II sees with other than US
own pure eyes. 1t fcrfeits its own
vision, its own sense OF grayltation' is
own emotions, its own life. The chi!''
drawings are made from science, begin
and end in science, instead Of Nature
and art. There lies the whole Collins
fallacy; they are taught science ana
art.
There is no argument like sc'usl
example. So one turns from the O0F
lins system and this new system, Sni'A
is not a system, TO the children tnem'
selves. Here they are; three OF 'n0s'

begins so early that one cannot be over
watcbful Of it's first indications. And
it is at that point that education meets
its darkest ogres, especially in dealing
with the youngsters Of the artistic tenn
perament. And what boy or girl is de-
void Of that quality?
Who was it addressed the following
lines to a boy Of eight:
$50 soon you're tired Of that toy?
Who can blame you, with more to
come?
Throw it away, you're wise!
But hark to this from one who knows:
That when you grow great big man,
They'll preach you life's 4 serious
thing
To throw away your last toy, toe
But don't you heed them; hark to me:
Save it-you will need one them"
And the last toy IS often the first.
Your child is far more different from
any other child than any man or wom-
an can possibly be from any other.
Teaching, bringing up, culture, have
not as yet taken hold. The child is
still uncontaminated by outside infu-
ences; which is not true OF grown-ups.
It is this purity, this unaffectedness,
this naivete, this individualism, that
must be nurtured and guarded against
the influences that time is bound to
7 impose.
Certainly the work Of these pGrticu-
lar children, the most remarkable OF
IT'S kind ever discovered in New York,
is stirring evidence of what can be
done for children. 1t proves not only
that the art impulse is great vital
factor in this city of commerce, but
that children can De taught to express
themselves without driving them
through the drudgery of learning rules.
ANY woman, whether her child show
the art impulse or not, should find in
spiration from these classes. They are
a timely lesson in general education-a
lesson of enduring influence.

THE GIRL WITH THE HOUSEHOLD MGT

Cooperating with them will be regis
tration bureaus, which will protect the
young women and attempt to regulate
THEN work, seeing to it that the homes
which they enter are not harmful TO
them. And they will localize the
routes, so that the worker need not
travel unnecessarily. These bureaus
will in turn cooperate with school
and college bureaus, so that a young
girl on leaving school will know just
where to apply for work of just the
kind she wants.
Registration Bureaus to Protect the
Young Women.
From the housekeeper's point of
view this will be admirable. The work
which a woman wants done in a GER
tain apartment or small house requires
but a few hours a day Of actual labor.
During the morning she has a worker
for few hours to assist with the
cleaning and to prepare the days
cooking. Or she prefers because Of
guests TO have the assistance in the
afternoon or evening. And supple
mentary assistance, paid by the hour,
is very much more economical for her
than to pay a permanent worker, r
great deal of whose time is wasted
81 am sure that this will be emil
nently successful" said Mrs. Shailer,
who has devoted so much of her time
to the cause. "Housekeepers must Try
it. All it needs is a chance, for it
will prove itself. Young girls, young
widows and women who are not so
young will come forward with CRATE
fulness when they see opened to them
an opportunity to do the kind of work
which women have always loved, and
to do it in a scientific manner. 1t
will then be work as recognized as
any of the other of this worlds pro-
fessions."
Domestic Labor Regarded as Unworthy.
There is a tendency to-day 20 re-
gard domestic labor as unworthy of
the young girl of education. Il is
false standard which drives the young
woman from the congenial labor OF
housekeeping out into the world of
clerical labor. Thousands of them
there are who are bending over ledgers
in dusty Offices, who are pounding
typewriters hour by hour or who are
selling scarfs behind a counter or
teaching in schools, who would prefer to
make cake, TO do fine mending, to su-
perintend the preparation of a small
luncheon.
But these women have tacitly ac-
knowledged that there was nothing else
for them to do. There has grown up
the fiction that domestic work is
we'll, not quite up TO the modern young
woman. 1t is nobler for her to go
ont into the world and make her strug-
gle. Truly inspiring, this impulse,
even IL her enthusiasm leads her TO
the pasting of labels on a cigar box!
But those who have watched realize
the fallacy Of this tendency. They
step in advance of the times and fur
nish that which usually comes only
after tremendous exaggeration of a
moyement-the wise counteracting in
huence whsh is not retrogressive.

Spirit World of Childhood.

We SUPERIOR grown-ups reverence
our own spirit world. In fact, we rare
ly reverence any other. Which is all
tn, more reason why we should rever-
ence, If not bow before, the spirit world
of childhood. At this Brooklyn school
it runs rampant, in blues and yellows
and greens and puppies and colds only
technical pedagogue would dare to
analyze; in squares and triangles and
curves no Euclid would question.
What matter who did the drawings,
AS long as we know that child did
them? The Chinese did not sign their

porcelain-the Chinese, those grown
up children of the world. Besides, there
is a certain dangerous entity we call
vanity. Once advertise a child and the
child is through. The child has become
a grown-up. He is no longer naive. He
is self-conscious. lie has mission to
perform. And when an act becomes
part of mission professionalism is
born. One is a man at last. Childhood
is gone. So do not ask the names of
these little dreamers!
Art Impulse Stamped Out.
Twenty million dollars year is
being expended here in America for
the education of children in art. In
other words, seven hundred thousand
children are having their art impulse
diverted and stamped out. This subject
is of the most vital importance to
women. Surely, if boy or girl shows
artistic leanings at an early age, if
either should betray a decided predilec-
tion for drawing, the greatest care
should be taken in watching this i'm
pulse and in encouraging them, not so
much by direct teaching as through the
warmth ofsubtle suggestion, to express
themselves.
Many child's after growth has been
stunted or injured irreparably by a
careless lack Of serious consideration
for his mud-pie years. Temperament
