So many people have t-hc wrong iflhmiression of the uses of drawing in our public schools Tlhe seem to think that its only aim is to make a pretty draw ing or picture, and its education al value ends there. How lit tie do they realize that it is one o1 the fundamental studies, and i' is just as important in the de velopment of a child's life am mind in fields of usefuilness a~ number and language work. Drawing is one of the oldes and simplest ways of expressin thought. It is a language tha is c'Om mon to all nations, am has been from time immemorial It was the Principal mediun used by the ancient EgyptIani in handing down to the presen generation their ideas and cus toms. One of its chief aims il public school work is to help th child gain and express ideas an< thoughts through drawing a well as by language. It is much easier for a child t4 get knowledge by seeing fron than by hearing about it. If teacher has a good knowledg of drawing, and can make picture of what he or she wishe to teach 01' represent, the chii can grasp it much more readil than by telling him of the sam in words. 'Tis sad but true that there is woful lack of skill on the sIde o thme above average teacher o to-day in the use of drawing The writer has talked wit] teachers throughout this fat Southland, and the complain c'omes from all that they cani not dlrawv, but feel the need a sanme so badly.

What is the cause and how can this deficiency in our educa tion be overcome? The princi pal reason is that teachers have not been trained to draw as they have been trained to read and wvrite; if the sante attentin had beCen given to their drawime as to other studies, they wouMd be I just as skillful in the one as the other, for drawing is the naturall medium through which .a child expresses his ideas. The picture of the idea appeals to all chil dren. The remedy: Let us see [ to it that the rising generation of to-day does not miss nor neg lect this all-important step in 3 their education, for the children t of to-day will be our men and - women of to-morrow. Aside from the skill the child a gains In the use of his hands 1 and mind to work sinmultane s ously. Drawing, above all other studies, helps to -develop the perdeptive qualities of the i child-as to form, size, weight, i color, observation, and the ci'e e ative faculties, as originality.. .1 constructiveness and ideality, s and last but not least, the high 1 est of all-the osthetic-or love i of the beautiful in art and na Le ture-and thereby brings one into a closer touch with Hin L who made all things for our f pleasure and happiness. E Let us consider some of the .uses of drawing in our every 1 day life outside of the school r room.

We subjoin an ex tract or two: "There is one citizen in this country who can prove himself unworthy of the ballot which has been given to him, and he Is the citizen who either sells It or permits it to be0 wrested fr-cm him under coercion. Whenever a man offers you pay for your vote he insults your manhood, and you ought to have no respect for him. And the man, who Instead of insulting your mau hood by an offer of purchase, attempts to intimidate you, to coerce you, insults your citizen ship as w~ell as your manhood.'' *-[Speech in Chicago, 1896.
