bright career is felt as a loss by the whole
school.

Pen and ink designs of the Four Elements by
Albert W. Dodd, are well conceived and boldly
drawn. Two of this set are here reproduced and
will commend themselves without any further
description.

Merlin and Vivien, a design for stained glass,
not too formally limited by the border lines, is by
Jessica Walker : a Water Maiden, by Alice Cartmel,
and a circular panel with fish, by Bertram
Ashworth, are both successful treatments of leaded
glass.

Helena Shaw contributes a good embroidered
and cut-work afternoon tea-cloth, and a splasher
design by Alice Nugent is attractive and com-
mendable in many ways.

Under Mr. Crossland McClure, the modelling
work of the school made considerable strides.
Since his departure to take an appointment at
the Leicester School of Art, Mr. Charles J. Allen,
assisted by Mr. Herbert Morcom, gives direction to
much, excellent work done, especially in the
modelling from life. The nude studies treated by
Florence Gill and Margery Doggett deserve
particular mention.

Two choice little relief panels designed for
silver or leather covers of devotional books, and a
plaster relief panel Love and Melody, each by
Katie Fisher, display refinement and poetic feeling,
as well as technical excellence.
