The practice of this theory has

little provision has been made
as yet for art training for the
exceptional child.
Is Seeking Genius.
Five free scholarships for Sat
urday morning art study open to
Washington school children from
nine to fifteen years. were offered
this year BY Felix Mahony. Of the
National School Of Fine and Ap-
piled Art, Connecticut avenue and
M street northwest. A many
children came a. there was room
to accommodate, and Mr.. Mahony
and his instructors speak hope
fully Of the talent shown.
They would like to b able to
reach moro Of these young stu
dents. who draw so freely in
pencil and charcoal. sketch IN
water color. and are learning also
the elements Of design and com.
position. Ono Of the boys shows
a "Gauguinesque" originality in
his work. Yet the group here are
but a fraction OF the children in
Washington who would like to
study art.
Not always, Of course, does the
youthful prodigy fuifiil the
prophecy Of his early work. Yet
in drawing the ability has usual
ly been manifested early in life.
Little Johnnie Millais, who was
afterward Sir John Millais. one
of the leading Pre-Raphaeiite
painters Of England, convinced his
father and mother Of his right to
art school training. and he was
the youngest boy admitted to the
academy school in London, whore
he soon won all the prizes, q
record Of success which ne con-
tinued throughout his life. Not
many children are so fortunate as
to have parents with sufficient
means to afford tho specialized
training Of an art school. with the
uncertainty Of future career. Bust
ness school is the safer invest
ment. So art must 90 abegginE.
as usual.
Yet. in America, where We talk
so much of culture and beauty,
where wealth seems SO abundant
on every hand. surely the art
training Of the children Is . vital
factor in our social progress.
When will our Government
awaken to this need, and pro-
vide the wide opportunity that
our children are asking for art
study? When will tho love q
beauty be cultivated as q safe
guard against war?
