"GOING TO WORK"

FROM A DRAWING

BY ARTHUR S. COVEY


who are not able to go to schools may work from
the model during the day or evening by paying a
very small sum—hvepence—for the whole evening
For example, many a poor fellow who is just
to eke out a living, with no surplus for
regular school fees, gets his start in art
training in this way, while to the fully-
fledged artist in straits as to model fees,
the little workshop comes as a boon for
keeping in practice from the figure. Men
who work at these rooms are called
Everybody in Munich, from the Prince
Regent down to the petty shopkeeper,
takes special interest in her art students,
and be a man ever so shabby and unpre-
possessing in appearance, it makes-things
all right the moment he shows his student
ticket. The concern of the workpeople
of Germany for the artists and art students
is really extraordinary. There were thou,
sands of peasants at Lenbach's funeral,
and most of them had walked miles to
get there. There has never been such
a gathering of the lowly for the great
since the death of Ludwig II., and it
goes to show how personal is the big
feeling for art amongst the people of
Germany.
The Prince Regent is a familiar figure
at the Academy and in the private
of the artists and students. He drops in
at the most unexpected moments, some-
times very early in the morning, just to
see how things are going. He is looked
upon as the patron saint of young art,
and is very liberal in his purchase of
unknown men's work.
To the German student his professor

represents everything that is impressive and awe-
inspiring, and to tell the truth, there are few
things in life more serious than these very learned
able men of Germany.
