Studio- Talk
The Idea of directing
students of the figure to-
wards composition and
painting for mural decora-
tion has met with consider-
able success, particularly in
the works of W. J. Medcalf
and W. A. Martin. Both
these promising young de-
signers have previously been
noticed in The Studio.
The municipal support
nowaccorded to this School
appears quite inadequate to
the growing influence of its
work, and the extended
range of its usefulness. On
behalf of the directorate
it is said, " they do not ask
for assistance because they
did not get on without it,
but because they'could do
much better with it."

For proficiency during
the year's work the City
Council awarded a scholar-
ship of ,£60 a-year to
William A. Martin, and
another, ^30 a-year, to-
gether with free admission
to day classes, to May L.
G. Cooksey. Free student-
ships and jQ$ per annum
(for one or two years) are
awarded to Annie Fntwisle,
Conrad O. Looser, and
Mabel Syson.
There is good evidence
of high general average in
the life studies, both in
painting and in black and
white, and the time sketches
are very creditable. There
is also much that is com-
mendable in several of
the poster designs, in the
book illustrations, and in
the decorated furniture. handkerchief in cut linen and embroidery by Florence cartwright
