The North Window
BY LEILA sfECHLIN

At this season of the year, when the
schools and colleges are reopening.
attention is naturally directed to the
subject of education, and big, grave
subject 1t Is. The wisest among US
are saying today that there is some
thing wrong in our educational meth
|ods, and the most earnest are
|cudgelling their brains to find. just
what IL Is. Schools and colleges there
are in abundance, but somehow,
despite much teaching, the average
youth steps out into the world minus
that education which in days gone
by characterized the university grad
uate-the educated man.
Perhaps. though it may not have
been suggested, part of the trouble
comes from a neglect of the fine arts
which has arisen through mistaken
notion of economy in life. The aim
lof many OF our young people today
is to learn to make living. The real
object of education is to teach one to
live.
Jefferson stands in memory as a
type not only of great statesman, but
OF cultivated gentleman, a man who
was well educated, and jefferson had
SO intimate a knowledge of art that
generation in the matter of building.
How much this knowledge added to
ms own pleasure and richness of life
Is shown in a charming letter written
by him while travelling in Europe and
recently published in a current maga-
zine, with comment by President Alder
man of the University of Virginia;
which university, by the way, has a
department of fine arts.
x x !;
step in the right direction is
being taken this autumn by the
University of New York, which, in
cooperation with the National
Academy of Design, is re-establishing
school of fine arts. under the
leadership of Prof. Fiske KimbalI,
we'll known both as architect and
author. Curiously enough, the first
university instruction in fine arts
given in America was inauRurated by
this university in 1892. at which time
Prof. Samuel +. B. Morse, then presi-
dent of the National Academy of
Design, was appointed a member of
It's faculty. In 1885 Prof. Morse was
made professor of the literature OF
the arts of design, a title he held
until his death. when the chair and
the subject were allowed to Iapse,
Prof. Morse. it viii be remembered
was the inventor of the telegraph
put had he not made this invention
he would have been renowned as a
painter. 1t is worth noting. however
that Morse the painter and Morse the
inventor and Morse the university
professor were one and the same:
that doing one thing well did not
mean doing other things poorly; in
other words, that the painter in this
case was the scohlarly gentleman. II
is mistaken notion, but one which
has gained wide prevalence, that an
artist should know only his art. The
late Henry Golden Dearth once said
TO the writer: The more brains a
painter has and the better they are
trained, the better pictures he will
paint" which is true. The great
masters of the past were in few in
stances ignorant men. in some cases
they were brilliant scholars. For eX-
ample. Leonardo da Vinci, Michael
angelo, and, coming down to these
later days, John La Fargo.

Through the agreement recently
ratified, the New York University and
the National Academy of Design, the
last a purely professional school of
art, will offer combined course for
art students who wish also to secure
a liberal college education. This will
involve a college course of four years,
in which the fisrt three will be spent
in the study of academic subjects in
one of the colleges of the university
and the fourth year will be devoted
exclusively to the STUDY of drawing
and painting at the academy. Thus
the students of the university will
have the advantage of taking this
work under well known professional
masters, such as Hawthorne, Curran,
Francis C. Jones and others, with the
idea of pursuing a further course of
painting after graduation.

Reverting to the subject of profess
sional art education. an exceedingly
interesting and significant paper by
Cecilia Beaux on professional Art
Schools" comes to mind. This paper
was prepared for and presented at a
meeting of the College Art Associa-
tion held in Philadelphia some years
ago. In it Miss Beaux refers espe-
eially to the tendency today to en-
Iphasize self-expression, which in these
later days has become a slogan in the
art world and is used almost unlver-
sally to cover every kind of artistic
shortcoming. "At a first glance"
and right to tell the student to ex-
press himself. But is this possi-
ble?" she asks; and, answering her
own question, continues as tollows:
"The period of a students life In the
art school is one of the most sensitive

and the trend of opinion around him

bears upon his inner life and con-
seriousness, may make an indelible

It is pleasing and appropriate that
one course of lectures on this newly
established foundation will be given
by Edwin H. Blashfield, now presi-
dent of the National Academy of De-
sign. and that these lectures will take
the form of "reminiscences extending
from a meeting with, Morse in Paris
in student days on to the present
time. These Morse lectures are to be
given in the auditorium of the uni
yersity at Washington square, In a
building built on the site of the old
university building, where Morse had
his studio, and in which, despairing

Mr.. Morse, who was also q painter
of considerable ability, had g. studio

in all of the local art activities, He
too, like. his father, was a scholarly
gentleman, with keen artistic per-
eeption and delight in art in its
various manifestations-one who 1t
was privilege to know and who did
much in quiet, unostentatious way
to advance the cause of art, gathering
around him those like-minded and in
