Drawing in the Public Schools. BY MRS. MATTIE STARR. Published by request. Drawing is a language universal. Like language it should be regarded as ameans, not an end. It 1s associ— ated with other forms of language, | and is ot inconceivable value in con veying thought, but separated from | thought it 1s a liteless thing. The man who knew three words of French found his words of no ayail when he wentto the Frenchman to borrow his gridiron, but when with his stick he drew in the sand | an outhne of the article, he was readily understood. Thought must accompany ex= pression, Unless the thought of the artist be conveyed to the canvas and thus portrayed in the Picture, | it 1s valueless as a procees ot cul ture. ‘‘Every complete education- al system,’’ says an eminent au- thority, must provide for the cul- ture ot all the varied faculties of the human mind, physical, intellectual. moral and spiritual, esthetic and emotional, and must besides pro- vide for the development of those practical capacities upon which the social and national progress of our civilzed people depends.”?

Goverments are vieing w.th each other and with private individuais in establishing and endowing schools of art of a vaned character, all ot | which have the same end in view— {that of fitting ther populations | meet the constantly increasing de- mands made upon them by the growing necessities ot the time. | What is wanted is not merely ex- | perience but intelligent experience ; and that can only, or at any rate can best be gained by systematic training in the scientific and esthetic i principles which underlie every in- dustry. To insure that training, the discipline and opportunity at- forded by school work are emmi- nently essential. Education in pub- lic schools should be such as by the general usetulness to all, will prepare all tor their future vocations in hfe as intelligent beings, leaving technical or secondary trainine the | |task of preparing each tor his \ | specialty. But the general course || {should leave n out | ,- {that will add to the practical struction necessary for the la number destined tor the imdustrial eccupations. Instruction in the underlying features of art education is as im- portant a preparation tor practical life to-day as instruction im reading. writing and arithmetic. It too much to say that if it were not for its fundamental teatures, modern industry could not exist. If it were not for the knowledze imparted by such education there would prac- tically be no means for conveying thought or ideas in many of the more important ot our industrial : employments. In other words there would be no means by which the thought of the designer could be conveyed to the workman. This t| fact is so apparent in the apphed Is not subjects of fnstrumental drawing t} done—as architectural drawing and machine building — construction ; drawing, construction and design; imagine; to create; and finally civil and military engmeering, sur- to think by exercise of the observa- | Veying and typographical drawing ; ship draughting and marine archi- tecture—that the statement will not be questioned. Constructive draw- ing may be called the language by which inventive thought is manifest; for it is the mean of conveying an accurate idea of an object existing only in the brain of the inventor, or designer. In this respect it tar transcends either spo- ken or written language.

S. as con- scious of the need ot a similar pro- vision when we note the following facts as stated: exported In 1874 there were from the U. S. articles upon which skilled and mechanical labor had been expended of the value of $25,000,000, while the value of such articles imported was $78,- 000,000. In the same year the articles of taste and skilled Tabor exported from France amounted to $435,000,000, trom Fngland $385,- 000,000. While figures are dull things to some persons, the contrast presents an instructive lesson as to the importance of art education in relation to national wealth and prosperity; and experience has Proved to these countries of Europe, in which it has reached the greatest degree of excellence, that to be highly efficient it must begin in the Primary school, and be based on general literary culture.

It is undoubtedly difficult for the teacher who takes up this subject late in lite, to become an expert in drawing, and this should not be aimed at. Lt is not 80 neces- sary to be able to draw well as to be able to teach well, and at 1s not difficult if tne proper facilites be obtained for all teachers to learn readily to draw weil enough to teach the subject satistactorily, Although the principles are the same as ever, the manner of presenting them has been so thoroughly revised and im- proved that anv teacher with aver- age intelligence can in a very short time prepare herself to present the subject in a reasonably attractive manner <Any teacher who does not possess sufficient energy and in- telligence to do this, condemns her- self as unfitted to have charge of education, which is always progress- ive and cannot be content with the antiquated and outgrown standards of the past. Some few teachers who may be required to fit them- selves tor this work, may urge that we in the West do not require this training in industrial art. Berkely has truly said, **The star of empire westward takes it flight."’ There is truth in the quotation as applied to the U. S. and to this subject. The demand tor skilled labor 1s greater on the Pacific coast to-day than on the Atlantic side. Manufacturers are moving westward, and the day may come to the generation under our charge, that Kansas City may do more than deal in real estate hooms and slaughter hogs and cat- tle.
