proper for the advanced student will not do for the beginner. There is in the art schools an immense insistence upon technique, but the children must have free swing. Even in the studios this has been carried too far; the art of our time is too much a thing of mere technical accomplishment. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment? Instead of forcing our adult art and our ways of regarding things upon the children, we had better make a serious attempt to understand theirs, and to help them to realize themselves.
