To make a picture Of something Is al
most the first impulse of a child.
After school age, however, almost no
attention is given to helping child
express its own vision. An occagionaI
hour spent in drawing circles, cubes,
triangles and other forms is about all
he gets. AS a consequence, most Of us,
who used to draw with Joy and with
out fear when we. were very small, are
helpless and self-conscious now when
we try to draw what we see.
Some friends of mine who spend their
summers in an art colony (aithough
their art is music) have established in
their own home an art school for the
children Of the neighborhood A tai
ented young artist comes one after
noon a week and "criticizes" their
drawings or sketches In color, giving
them careful instruction, yet leaving
them free to work out their own
small inspirations. They are taught
to draw from life, one OF the older
ones posing for the class. Some
times the mother herself comes in and
poses.
These children are learning to handle
a pencil or brush with freedom, JOY and
a certain amount Of skill. Their inter-
est and delight are great. Meanwhile,
it is a great help to the aspiring young
art student. who may wish to teach
one OF these days and who IL max ing
little money to help pay his own
tuition IN the art school There must
te many such struggling young art
irts who would gladly teach a class
OF children one afternoon week, and
the effect upon the children them
selves would be invaluable.

WHAT TODAY MEANS
TO YOU.
Pisces.
By MARY BLAKE.

Pisces.
Vibrations today are inimical to
peace of mind and to general business
success. Avoid hasty, impetuous ac-
tions, as there is a great danger Of
accidents. BE conservative and re-
strain wrong impulses.
A child born today will be healthy
and of a sunny disposition; not, pos
sibly, capable OF anything really great
in the way of achievement, but ra-
dating happiness and contentment
If today is the anniversary of your
birth your disposition is probably
one that is envied by all those with
whom you come in contact You are
even-tempered and kindly both in
thought and action. Children and ami
mails always run to you and trust
you.
Your character, in spite of your
lovable disposition. is by no means
weak. You have very decided views as
to the right and wrong. AS doing the
.one, you, as a result Of your dispo-
sition. invariably do the right thing.
In business you. have never
nnn'Ip many people oH 0Re have taken adsantaxe
of your good nature. You often feel
hurt, but never feel resentment, or
seek to be vindictive.
In social life You are wen and af-
fectionately thought Of by all your
friends, and your companionship is
freely sought. All your friends when
in trouble seek you out, and make a
father confessor of you, as they all
realize that, even though you cannot
always prescribe remedy for their
trouble, they will feel all the better
for having talked over their pfsdica-
In home life, IL you have chosen
the right mate, and you probably
have, you always find that happiness
begets happinesa Your mate will, as
night follows day, respond to the
@sunsh Inc" treatment. and your chill
dren will ever remember the happy
times of their youth.
Yours is life to be envied. even
though you may not be overburdened
with this worlds goods, as. when
misfortune or trouble comes to you or
yours, your optimistic cheerfulness
converts the misfortune into bless
ing in disguise, and your coftentment
Of mind takes the sting out OF all
trouble.

date are: Thomas Buchanan Read, az

Your Home and
The Home Art School.
BY HELEN KENDALL

The Home Art School
In reading a ven known book I was
especially impressed with the statement
that q child's first five. years are de-
voted almost entirely to art, after which
it is dropped almost entirely out Of his
life, unless, in after years, he becomes
a student Of art.
A little child draws quite naturally
and unconsciously. Give a mere baby
a pencil and he or she will scrawi a
house, a dog, a boat, man, a train.
