Schalk is n bundle OF energy. On
the bench he shows the same aggres.
sive spirit he does back of the bat.
He Is always the first of Comiskey's
players to report for morning practice
and he Is working hard to perfect his
batting power. Just now SchalR Is
showing rare form at bat and speed on
the bases.
Schalk was n particular pet OF Kid
Gleason. former White Sox coach. II
was Gleason who took the y~oungster
In hand when the Sox bought him
from Milwaukee. Schalk showed abil.
ity from the start. but he was a little
rough or certain plays.
For a while he had trouble In solv.
ing the delivery OF Walsh. Gleason
took pains to coach the kid. He got
down on his knees back of the plate
and showed Ray how to stop Walsh's
low splitter. Billy Sullivan, the vet.
eran catcher OF the Sox stan. was al.
ways n Of Schalk's particular ad.
visers. Ray always had the whip.
but he had to be shown the weakness
OF various batters. and now he looks
like the best ever seen in Chicago

while great progress has beer made in the development of many nt schools
In this country, art education as a whole lacks coordination, that Americans
apparently have begun at the wrong end, having many schools devoted TO
academic work in contrast to n few Industrial art schools. II is believed that
much can be done by the federal, state and municipal governments in the
way OF encouraging the progress OF fine and industrial arts in the United
States by establishing a system OF scholarships similar to the practice in 4
number II European systems. There a system Of small scholarships has
been developed which gradually eliminates the less talented pupils, but gives
continued and increasing support to the unusually gifted.
According to Miss Levy the Centennial exposition in Philadelphia in
1876. stimulated a nw interest in art and art education in America. She
creits the Columbian exposition in Chicago in 1898, and the Louisiana Pur.
chase exposition. in 1904, as giving added impetus to the art movement tin the
United States. and expresses the belief tina. the PanamaPacifc exposition,
