At Alberton the other day that ancient “has-been," Mr J. H.

The conference was a lengthy one, but finally draft proposals were agreed upon between the representatves of the Government and the miners' Ex- ecutive.

The drawing lessons. as given by

Prof, L. Larosc, Director of Drawing in the Schools of Westinount, Que., have mainly for their object the teach- U18 Of* drawing in the elementary classes. His course is an exposition of his method-that is, what to teach and how to teach-rather than how to draw. For the acquisition of drawing, skill is a matter of practice and needs more than it few lessons; in fact. suuinier schools have for their iinnie- diate purpose to bring the teacliers` closer together ami permit them to exchange their views so that they may benefit by the experience of those who by special studies and under appropri- ate conditions have improved their methods.

In his sphere Prof. Larose has hail

iin~experience covering twenty years in the schools of Montreal and West- mount, and has broiight from that ex- perience maiiy valuiible siiggestions.

According to lilni drawing is inefll-

cient in many schools for three

reasons:

1.-The teacher has not had suffi-

cieiitiraiiiing.

2.-Models given :irc too diilicult

and not griiiliiatcrl.

3.-Those models bought in books

coming from :inuthcr country present unknown forms which no not interest thc pupil.

The instructor i`oels that models

should be as simple as possible, and

lic begins his course by showing

how to hold the pencil, how to move the hand so that the pencil is always perpeiirliciilai' to the line to be drawn.

first elements are the tracing of three kinds of straiglit line-»

vertical, liorlzontnl and ol>li<iue~ giving definitions and iiunicrous ex- amples. Then how to divide theni into two, ilirec and four cqiial parts. lniinediately as an application ol' these

lessons. coincs il\i» ¢l|'a\viii,t: oi’ a

square. This figure is well known to

pupils and re_i:uliir. and with its

studied; its division into two, e. or four parts cniiblcs ihc

course or lccturc on drawing is

because thc intelligent teacher talks more to the eyes than to the ears by making free use of the blackboard. Mr Larose drew some 20 or 25 designs derived from the square, and the same number from simple common objects including flowers and animals. Bc- twecn these two series may be Dilwed the circle inscribed in the square; the combination of these two figures may supply a goodly number of easy and attractive models. lf we add the oval, the eclipse and some stars wo iirrlve at quite a. large selection.

The eyes of the pupils being suill-

ciently trained with these copies, the teacher may now give more difficult ones, such as the copying Of B0"-10 everyday objects, simplified. As some teachers seein unaware of the ease with wlilcli they can get suitable models in sufficient quantity, the fol- lowing list has been given to show the variety ~there are within reach of any teacher; the students are advised to make a selection of those likely to

(`liililren become interested in these

ili'awiin.:s its they succeed with them. but they must not go too far in the copying of two-dimension models. As soon as their vision is sufficiently ac- curate, Grade V., they must begin to draw from the object itself, as this is siill more profitable; the individual iiiierpreiatioii ol' the object makes it more valuable. llcre again the models must be ol` the simplest forms available, such ns the cube, prism, cone. cylinilcr, cti-_ Blocks of wood in these shapes give the teacher the bc-st opportunity to show the rules of perspective, which are so important in drawing from nature. When these inoilcls arc linilerstooil coliinion ob- jects may be taken, such as have already been used in copying from

pictures.
