The Barre daily times. (Barre, Vt.) 1897-1959, 1916-05-13
ARTISTIC SENSE TYPIFIED.
In Exhibition Of Work Done by Barre
Evening Drawing School.

Once again the people of Barre are
privileged TO inspect the work of the
industrial art students who are enrolled
in the Barre evening drawing school.
The attendance at the exhibit which is
being held in the basement OF the Math-
ewson school, was unusually large last
evening and the faculty and students
are anticipating continuation of the
interest shown on the occasion of the
exhibits opening. Recently the school
closed its fifth and most successful year.
Indicative of the growing interest in
the maintenance of a free evening draw
ing school in Barre is the fact that the
detection in attendance among 1893 stu
dents, the largest in the history of the
school, has been smaller in l9l5-l9l6
than in any other year since the school
was established in 1911. Indeed,
such enthusiasm have thK students man
ifested in the opportunities extended
them that the faculty has found it neces-
sary TO hold two separate sessions in
order to accommodate the classes in
quarters that, admittedly, are none TO
large for the school and the work incor-
porated in the curriculum.
This afternoon the school will be open
to the public from 2;30 to o'clock and
again in the evening from $3.50 to o.
o'clock. On Monday evening the ex-
hibit will also be open to the public |
from $3.50 to O'Clock. 1t should be |
understood that the exhibit in.no sense
is confined TO those who have relatives |
frsx L. .la.,.
sessions. On the contrary, it is designed |
to provide an opportunity for the public
to inspect the work that students are |
doing in free evening school, main
tanned by the people.
Two divisions of students in an en-
of 1863, as before stated, have
been attending the school on four nights
of each week since the public schools
opened in September. Principal Charles
Pamperl has been ably assisted by Carlo
Abate, Alexander Youngson and Robert
Knox. 1t is a matter of regret that in
the future the school is to be deprived
of the services of Mr.. Youngson, who has
gone to New York to reside.
Three departments, elementary draw
ng and drafting, advanced drafting and
are represented in the twol
-ooms given over to the exhibit. Then,
90, there is the beginning of the scale
department, which is TO be
permitted to grow in usefulness in the
'oming year Specimens of lettering, and
projecting and prospective drawing are Z
shown to excellent advantage in this |
fear's exhibit. 1t seems that pupils, con-
idered as individuals, have made more {
'rogress this year than has been noted, !
IS a rule, in the past, and this marked {
is not peculiar to any one q
apartment of the school, Monumental, {
Gale drawing and detail work, the fruits {
+ much earnest effort, are to be noted {
n the numerous specimens submitted
" the students. Manufacturers have
lanifested a deep interest in the indus !
rial phases Of the work and while many c
elpful suggestions have been received 9
rom them, there are rich opportunities, 7
to members of the faculty, for
urther development of the relations be-
ween the manufacturers and the school.
During the year just closed much was
in the way of mausoleum
rawlings and architectural drafting. In !
ne instance, and cases of the kind in !,
ne years doing at the school are not
olated, modellings made by the students { {
ere essential in enabling the carver at :,
le shed in gaining truer conception !
what was expected of him in the ere- !,
tion of difficult figures in stone. Nature, +
and ancient art have been \
sed in the modelling department. Mod y
5 made in the school have been used,
,t extensively, but with unyaryingly
Itisfactory results in the stonesheds.
or the casual visitor at the exhibit the
odelling department, perhaps, has more A
store than in the department where
lie work is of a more elementary char
ter. Nevertheless, one cannot inspect
e various departments OF the school g;
ithout learning that Barre's evening -
awing school is achieving and that in - -
'od measure, the purpose which its pro- - :,
oters had in mind when the school was = =
tablished. ~:
