in the artistic history of the country,
and a bright future Is predicted for
the young sculptress.
"I consider Miss Ijuuginaii to lie
one of the niosl. promising of our
youngi.'r sculptors," said Mr. Kreuch,
whose assistant she has been for
the last four years."
Girl Is From Ohio.
Miss l/jugmau wus born in Winches?
ter, Ohio, her father,, Edwin II. I^oiig-'
man, being a musician und an artist.
Drawing was ono of her childish
amusements, and she began modelling
without Instructions in the art de?
partment, of Olivot. College. Her
wori?. there attracted the attention
of Lorudo Taft, and ho Invited her
to enter the Chicago Art Institute as
ibis pupil. She did so, and during
tlui first year paid her expenses by
doing library work. Then she was
made an assistant Instructor in the
school, and a year or two later she
came to New York, where she soon
ufter became ah assistant to Mr. Taft.
She Is rather proud of the fact, that
she has never studied abroad and
ialso that sho has been able to moot
all the expanses of her artistic educa?
tion herself.
In 1901 Miss Longman won a silver
medal for a ligure of Victory which
wos placed on the domo of ?Festival
Hnll. and which has just been exe?
cuted In bronze for the Union League
Club of Chicago. She Is at. present

FAKE AUTO SCHOOLS.
A Word About So-Called Correspon?
dent Schools for Chaffeurs
As long us liuitiauily is possessed
or the soiiieli'.iiug lor nothing idea, or
next lo nolhiiig, Hie crop of conie-ons
will be good and tho business of re
Moving them of their money will flour?
ish. The combined effort, of all the
reformers in the,World will never suf?
fice id stamp out such practices, but
they can at least be suppressed to an
extent where the way of the trans?
gressor will be hard indeed and the
victims few and far between.
This would appear lo be the cause
of the fake automobile school at the
present moment. The number of
the Institutions offering to create
competent chauffeurs out of any kind
of raw material in tin: course of a
fortnight or so for the sum ot* $25, Is
legion.
Little or no attempt is made to
fullflll the obligation incurred and
once the victim has been bled be is
thrust out to make room for more. He
conies forth with important looking
credentials testifying to bis competen?
cy and long experience, which make
him that much more of a menace to
the publle.
It. is time that repressive energetic
measures wore taken to put an end to
this species of fraud. Mean while own?
ers who would hire drivers should
I not put unauestloried faith in every
[ "certificate" presented by applicants.
