DESIGN FOR A BOOK ILLUSTRATION

BY H. W. WILEY


It is of particular interest to remember this at a
moment when, by the stern law of superannuation,
the School is to be deprived of the headmaster
who has so long and so successfully organised and
controlled its destinies and
inspired its enthusiasm.
And if in looking round
the walls of this exhibition
one sees little strikingly in-
dividual work, but rather a
high level of general achieve-
ment, the spirit of the
teaching speaks with
abundant evidence through
wise results, and thoroughly
justifies his administration.
The routine work is excel-
lent, considerable attention
being bestowed upon the
History of Ornament which
is a point too often neglected.

Space will not, unfortunately, admit of a detailed
description of the numerous excellent works
exhibited, and it must suffice to say that there is
abundant evidence of life, effort and promise in

Special mention may be
called to the Designs for
Illustration in Colours of
Mr. H. W. Wiley. They
exhibit careful drawing and
faithful interpretation of
child life, and are full of
a dainty humour of their
own, and repay repeated
inspection.
