various art societies, including such
professional societies as the American
Institute of Architects. has made the
work of the BeauX Arts Institute of
Design possibly the most important
program of education in the arts be-
ing at present carried on in America.
The French government. too, has lent
its aid to further the cause of art edu-
cation by permitting the use of a por.
ton of the Palais de Fontainebleau
for housing the students.
The correlation of the work Of the
sculptor. the painter and the interior
decorator and the architect is also
brought about and the reactions Ger.
tain to follow as a natural result Of
the blending of these arts under such
favorable auspices will be- of the
greatest Importance to the future ex.
