Tho magnlflccnt group Scorplo wlth Us flery rod star Antores, at P, ls ono of tho most anclent of all constellatlons.

Even whon tho number of divlslons was lncreased to twolve, Scorplo was kept undlvlded _s a double slgn. In later tlmes the'two stars whlch marked tho claws weF- separated into a littlo group named Slbra, or tho Balanccs, thus mutiltitlng and destroy lng tha Interestlng* and anclent flgure. Scorplo was tho slayer of tho glant Brlon, who stlll slnks below tho horlzon In fear Just as tho Scorplon beglns to rlse. In the very earliest tlmes It wns tho sym bol of darkness, probably becn-uso tho sun's power decllnes xvhen lt enters thls constellntlon after the autumnal equlnox.

The value of the scholarships aro for a full term, half day. A A THE IDEA THE COURSE is partlcularly designed for those desirous of making a profes sion of illustrating, cartooning, poster-work, portrait, landscape and decorative paint ing, and also for those who desire it as an aid in teaching, or who are interested in art for their own pleasure. THE OBJECT will be to enable the students to learn to draw correctly from tho living model and nature, and to use that knowledge in the expression of their ideas. A MODEL in costumc will pose every morning of the week, except Saturday, from 9:30 until 1 o'clock. , THERE WILL be poses especially arrangedl for illustrations and composi tions of more than one figure. THE METHODS embrace the best feature of the New York and Parisian schools with the additional great advantage of more personal attention and indi vidual criticism than is given at any other art school. ,' The afternoons will be devoted to LANDSCAPE WORK. DAILY CRITICISM will be given and personal assistance whenever needed. ANY MEDIUM may be used according to the .student's tast_ and advance ment?pencil, pen and ink, charcoal, crayon, pastel, wash, and gouaehe, water color, oil, etc. The methods of use of these various mediums will be explained : and demonstrated. COMPOSITIONS will be criticised every Monday. Methods of reproduc tion and the advantage, or disadv'antages of technical qualities will be dealt with. No previous experience w^U be required; rhe aim of the instructors will be to adapt tho criticism in every case to the personal needs and advancement of the student. MR. RAE SLOAN BREDIN, of New York, will again have charge of the classes. Mr. Bredin is a young illustrator and painter of ability, and has to an ex ceptional degree the faculty of imparting his knowledge which has made him most successful in this branch of his work and has won for him an enviable reputation as a teacher. Besides substituting for Wm. M. Chase at the Pennsylvania Acad? emy of Fine Arts, he has been an instructor at the Chase Shinnecock Summer School, the New York School of Art, (Chase's), the Va. School of Art, and for ? three years director of the New Jersey School of Art. GOOD BOARD can be obtained as low as $15.00, the best at $25.00 per month.
