great deal of cold comes up through
thin mattresses, and newspapers next

actly what the league has looked for
ward to. They have gone ahead Of
their parents and Of the practical edu-
cation which the schools afford them.
Drawing in schools is very fine, but
it Is not enjoyable, and it doesn't
teach them how to look at a beautiful
thing. Make dot one inch TO the
right, one to the left, one below and
connect Geometrical figures! 1t is
tiresome. And a child is never taught
to really look al a picture"
Demonstrates Materials for Painting.
Every morning Miss Greenlesf goes
10 one of the schools and talks TO the
children in the assembly. She has all
the materials for painting with her
paints, easels, canvas, stretcher-and
she shows just how a picture is paint
ed. She does the same thing with the
materials for sculpturing. She shows
her audience the queer chisels, the
armature, and explains the meaning
Of poses. And then she investigates.
Her findings are fruitful. In one
school she found that all the most
beautiful pictures were hung on the
teachers stairway, and that the chill
dren never had seen them. Neither
had they seen any of the beautiful
copies Of pictures that hang in tho as
sembly hall, because they were not al
lowed to turn their heads to the right
or left.
"And so, though they had perfect
discipline, they had none of the beauty
that was theirs by right" In all the
schools very few II the children had
ever been to the museum. 1t was the
last place they should think Of going
to for amusement, but after each lect-
ure BY Miss Greeneaf, when she asked
how many would like to go with her,
every one raised hand.
ut has its pathetic side, too she
said, when you think Of the home sur
roundings OF some OF these children
and realize that this is their only
aesthetic education Some Of them go
out Of the school into squalid streets
and still uglier homes. But once in
culcate an idea of beauty and they will
alter their homes"
America Is capable Of creating great
artistic works. But It will never do so
until IT has q population OF beauty
lovers. Artists must have an atmos-
phere Of encouragement, and it Is the
aim Of the School Art League to create
this. They wish to educate children
