competitions for these prizes are among the most
popular features of the curriculum. The Taverner
prizes were awarded to Mr. Ernest Eason for a head
from the life in oil, to Miss Gladys H. Mason for
the best head painted in a limited period as a time
test, and to Mr. Arthur M. Boss for time studies
of drapery and costume. Mr. Boss was also
awarded the Birkbeck College Studentship and
one of the Mason prizes for outline studies of
hands. Another Mason prize was awarded to
Miss Irene Butterworth for her interesting colour-
designs for book illustration, and a third to
Mr. R. J. Day for still-life painting. Miss Albinia
M. Adams gained the Hardy prize for painting
flowers from nature, and Miss Sybil M. Drummond
the Holden prize for her delicate outline studies in
pencil of oak leaves, white azaleas and ivy.
Mr. Percy W. Meredew took a King’s prize for the
drawing of a group from memory, and the Sketch
Club prizes were carried off by Miss Lydia Bain-
bridge (figure) and Mr. D. R. Edwards (landscape).
Miss Emily Connal’s clever little sketch of a
steam tug on the Thames with the Tower Bridge
in the background, and the rough but essentially
characteristic model of a man’s head by Miss Norah
Gowan, were both of more than average merit, and
a special word of praise is due to the originality of
design and execution shown in a panel for a screen
in canvas and silk decorated with a full-length
figure of a girl and embroidered roses and butter-
flies. The panel was designed by Miss Irene
162
Butterworth and Miss Gladys H. Mason, and
executed by the last-named student.
The two studies of animals that illustrate these
notes were made by Miss Olive Branson and Miss
Mary Crabtree, pupils of Mr. W. Frank Calderon,
of the School of Animal Painting in Baker Street,
whose students have just concluded a success-
ful course of outdoor work in Norfolk, at Burnham
Deepdale. The piece of wood-carving is a detail
of an oak reredos which was recently designed by
Mr. A. E. Martin, A.R.C.A., for Lady Alice Eyre,
who has presented it to the Church of Middleton
Tyas, Yorks., as a memorial to her husband. The
carving was executed at the School of Art Wood-
Carving, South Kensington, where Mr. Martin
takes one of the evening classes. The school is,
we believe, the only institution in this country
solely devoted to the craft, and is partly maintained
by the London County Council, who grant free
studentships under certain conditions. We are
asked to state that some of these studentships are
now vacant. W. T. W.
EDINBURGH.—A great forward step in
the teaching of pure and applied art has
