and W. Follen Bishop. Drawings of lesser size
and of good quality bear the names of Hamp-
son Jones, C. O’Neil, Edmund Phipps, Creswick
Boydell, J. T. Watts, Peter Ghent, Miss Georgina
Laing, and Miss B. A. Pughe.
The Sculpture Room contains a fair proportion
of work from local studios. The busts of Prin-
cipal Oliver Lodge, Wm. Rathbone, Esq., and
Mrs. Dowdall, by Charles J. Allen, are each of
high quality of merit. Dawn, by J. Crosland
McClure, is a relief plaster panel of interesting
design. Another plaster panel designed for metal
repousse work is by PI. Bloomfield Bare.
Miss C. E. Martin’s Eve and plaster statuette
of a Boy, Miss Caroline Jackson’s Innocence,
and Miss C. A. Walker’s altar panel St. Catherine,
are deserving of mention.

DRESDEN.—On September 28th and
29th about 250 men from all parts of
Germany assembled here for the pur-
pose of discussing a plan of art
education on a grand scale. As is often the case
in this country, the idea was started in a quarter
generally supposed to be extremely conservative
and bureaucratic, to which here, however, the
majority of progressive movements are due. Several
of the officials at the principal museums have long
regretted that the fine arts are not as important a
factor in the every-day life of the general public,
as they should be, and they convened this meeting
in order to discuss what steps might be taken to
create a change for the better.
A first convention of this kind is hardly in a
position to map out any distinct plan. Two

representative men from all districts, cannot hope
to discover within the space of two days a method
by which to raise the culture of over fifty millions.
Yet even if no practical results are apparent at first
sight, the convention has done an enormous
amount of good by bringing itself and its aim-
prominently before the public, and by interesting,
the schoolmen, old and young, in their en-
deavours. For naturally the schools are the non-
plus-ultra field for such work.
