The Real Story Of an Artists Model

to attempt to make it too perfect"
The teacher did not agree with her.
There are three schools in sculp-
turing; the first uses a model only
to get the general proportions and
suggestions of outline and seeks to
make the finished work more beau
tiful than the living model-that is
the 'fdealistic school," The second
seeks to reproduce the living model
in every minute detai1-uo, make an
exact replica of the models body and
eXpression-that is the realistic
school" The third and advanced
sculptors use the model only as
suggestion and seek to produce in
their finished work an expression of
their own personality and ideas
that is the "fmpressionistic school,"
The sculptor teaching this class
was a "realist''-he wanted his pupils
to produce as nearly an exact repro
duction of my body as they could.

All young living things, think,
come to a time when they must
live their own lives; express them
selves in their own way. Every child
is like both it's parents, and in some
degree like all it's ancestors. But
every child also has an individuality
of it's own; it differs IN some respects
from it's parents, from its brothers
and sisters and from every one else
on the face of the earth. / had often
thought when l posed before the mir
ror, or studied a new dance step,
of my body, and how, thought it
was like the body of every other
woman in the world, yet there was
no other body exactly like it,
1t is that which makes up in
dividuality. Something-some force
of eredity-maybe from ages ago
had implanted in my mind and body
the desire to express emotions in ar
tistic poses. 1 wanted to help create
something beautiful. l could not do
it in New York. Some day when
the war would be over, L could go to
Paris, where I would have a still
better opportunity. L knew all the
time that L would have to go when
the time came. Much as 1 loved
ton from her, L could not go back
home. If 1 did, it would only be to
leave again.
1t is hard that this must be So
Some day, if 1 should ever be a
mother myself, perhaps I will know
how hard it is. But the law of life
is the same for all; each must live
his or her own life. There were
things in the world that l must find
out; there was work to do that 1 felt
I must do. The pursuit of that which
my mind compelled took me from
Rovno to Canada, and thence to New
York; it will take me wherever the
call leads me; of that only L am
sure.
kissed my mothers letter many
times and put it under my pillow
that night. 1 was sorry for her and
for myself, but L could not go back
home.
1 often wonder if the guilty are
always punished for their wrongdo
ing. ..
The incident that started me think
ing of this occurred the first time 1
ever posed before a class. Up to
this time l had only posed for artists
working alone in their own studios.
1t was an advanced class in mod
cling, and the students were COM
peting for a prize.
There was keen rivalry in the class,
and L noticed particularly two girls
who stood near each other. One of
them was watching the others work
closely. The second girl knew moth
ing, or at least paid no attention to
the scrutiny of her neighbor, but
worked away and made better prog
ress, thought, than any student in
the class.
[ posed for a week, and I always
noticed those two girls, for as the
work of the one went better and bet
ter each day, her neighbor became
more jealous of her success.
One day after class the jealous
girl attempted to disparage the work

sculptor who was teaching the class

The story of the past history of
the Western and Atlantic Railroad
reads almost like romance. When it
was only a proposition and not
fact, it sounded like a fairy affair
to start railroad on a poor chin
quapin ridge miles distant from
even a medium sized river and run
to the state of Tennessee, where no
connecting line had been constituted.
But the general assembly of Geor-
gia did things Of that sort--in those
primitive days. The Cherokee In
dams were removed, beginning on
June 10th, 1888. And then the ag-
itation for railroad came on, and
the first passenger train pulled out
years later, Decatur, with extraordi-
nary decision, declined to allow a
dirty railroad to run through the
town.
1t was complained that car smoke
made by cords of common pine wood
would soil the paint on the houses.
The wise men decided on the
chinquapin ridge, WITHOUT dwelling
on the tract of land, and proceeded
to build railroad-when everything
like iron and engines and cars had
to be hauled over dirt roads from
Augusta by mule teams.
But the venture was successful.
The state had built a money maker.
After the Civil war was over, Elk
Governor j. E. Brown said before an
investigating committee that this
railroad was not only the best prop
erty over owned by the state, but
it was the best property it would
ever own. The leasing of the rail-
road in later years has been a
money-making business. It is good
fortune to own such valuable prop
erty in times of war or peace. If
the state could see clearly it would
buy out one of the several rail-
roads below Atlanta and extend the
line to the sea. If those roads re-
fused to sell there is always land
to be secured, and the state could
employ it's able-bodied convicts to
peculiar advantage in building
continuation to tidewater. 1t would
be a ten strike.
Wherever such a terminal is To-
Gated a great big town will loom up
in the near future. 1t would grow
without any boom to it, and the
state could always meet extrava-
CANT freight and passenger rates
without controversy. Competition is
the life of trade, and the rates that
the state would set down as fair
and just would be a wonderful thing
in the empire state of the south to-
hold other railroads to fair and
square deal.
In the near future there will be
canal dug in the extreme south
ern part of Georgia.
1t is bound to come ere many
moons shall wax and wane. 1t will
give a short, direct route that will
revolutionize water transit as we'll
as railroad transportation. AS I see
it, the state of Georgia never had
such an opportunity with a grand
trunk railroad from Chattanooga, in
tersecting the st. Mary's canal in
plain view-and so easy to under
stand and so valuable in results.
l understand the tactics of the op-
position. They are eager to sell
the states valuable railroad prop
erty. 1t has been their cherished
plan more than half century. But
trust the people of Georgia will
not allow themselves bamfoozled
into such a ruinous sacrifice of val
liable property.
