Progress in Art
Three great institutions?Columbia
University, the Metropolitan
Museum of Art and the National
Academy of design ? have appointed
committees to confer on a plan
which, if it is adopted, will give to
New York City and to the United
States one of the largest art schools
in the world and one of the best.
The plan contemplates the union
of the art forces of these three institutions.
Columbia will organize
and develop instruction in esthetics,
the history of art and kindred
subjects; painting, sculpture and
design, now taught at the National
Academy, will be taught as univer
sitv sunjcets in 51 university atmosphere;
and the museum will build
up and arrange exhibits of educational
value.
Almost simultaneously with this
announcement comes news of a
million-dollar endowment left to
the city of Chicago for the creation
and erection, under wise supervision,
of public monuments and
statues in the parljs and along the
boulevards.
These things are interesting.
Taken in connection with the steady
purchase of good pictures by rich
Americans and the increasing disposition
to have artists of ability
decorate the walls and ceilings of
fine public buildings, they show a
decided advance in the hold which
art has upon the American people,
and in the understanding of its use
and value.
American cities have suffered
much from a lack of this understanding,
and American towns
have suffered more. The old-fashioned
attitude of the "business
man" toward the artist?the patronizing
tolerance or amused contempt?has
not only robbed life in
the small towns of much that is
good, hut has cost large sums in
d >llars and cents; for good art, in
the shape of attractive buildings,
beautiful parks, fine statues, is the
best of advertising. The attractions
which the artist produces are
among the most potent influences
in drawing in new citizens of means
anl cultivation.?Youth's Companion.

ROJESTVENSKY DEAD, PARIS1
RANKERS HEAR.
Report Causes Great Alarm
In French Financial Circles.
Paris, May 23. A sensation has
been created here by the circulation
of a report that advices have been
received by a well known firm of
French bankers, who have been
active in the past in floating the
Russian loans, from their confidential
agent at St. Petersburg, stating
that Admiral Rojcstvensky has died
from dysentery and that Admiral
Nebogntoff has assumed command
of the Russian fleet, in Far Eastern
waters.
The report caused a semi-panic
in certain quarters, but it is impossible
to trace it or to determine
where it originated. Members of
the Russian embassy said, while
they had heard such a rumor, they
had received no advices of that
character from the home government
and the secretary, declared
that if such a report had been received
at St. Petersburg, it would
have lxjen communicated to the
embassy without delay. He was
not inclined to Ixdieve the rumor,
although he admitted that it might
be so.
On the other hand, persons best
acquainted with Admiral Rojestvensk^s
condition declare that the
report may well Ihj true, as the last
information received from the Paltic
fleet, stated that he was very
ill, and had to have a surgeon in
constant attendance on him.
Tokio, May 23.?According to a
report which has been received here
a junk, carrying a large number of
Russian officers, has been captured
near Vladivostok.
An official report has been received
from field headquarters in
Manchuria, announcing several
small attacks by the Russians on
the Japanese posts in the ncighl>or
lioocl of the Lion River on May 20.
One Russian force attacked Tangshed,
but was repulsed after a sharp
engagement. The Russian losses
were 300.
C. B. B. on Common School
Education.
<+ ___
Mr. Editor: The article frul dished
in last week's Timks, on "Education
in the Common Schools," is
worthy of careful i>crusal and serious
thought. It is true that competent
teachers have seldom been
paid what their services were worth.
Jt is also true that a number of unworthy
teachers have gone into the
business whose services were dear at
any price. The result has been to
lower the standard of education and
reduce the wages so low that competent
instructors have been driven
from the common schools to the
colleges or some other occupation
where their services would be appreciated
and command better pay.
Teachers are responsible for the i
physical, mental and moral training
of their pupils. "The courses of
study of our public schools become
overloaded with an infinitude of
trash." In an overcrowded course
of study much of the work is necessarily
superficial. But the teacher
has "advanced" his pupils and the
public is satisfied, it matters not
how many physical wrecks have resulted
from the cramming system
inaugurated by the teacher. Yes,
"Advanced rapidly in the direction
of the grave?" The writer has
made plain the fact that there is
something radically wrong in our
common school system. Any system
that does not furnish correct
spellers and good readers should lie
improved or abandoned. A student
that cannot tell what a letter represents,
does not know the difference
between a vowel and consonant,
and spells so rapidly there is
not tunc lor accent, articulation nor
emphasis, I consider poorly taught .
Mr. Editor I did not intend to
write a communication on educa-.
tion. According to I)r. William
Osier's theory I was thrown into
the rubbish heap, at least thirty
years ago. I am glad of an opportunity
to express my appreciation
of the able article on education published
last week. Hope you will bo
able to give us "Our next" "Heaven
send us some common grandmother
sense." C. B. B.
