A rt School Notes

in the Beardsley manner, remarkable both as imita-
tions and as pieces of dexterous execution. The
landscape that gained the scholarship for Miss
Stevens was a sympathetic study of a bend in a
river, with a foreground of meadowsweet and rag-
wort. A special word of praise is due to Miss
G. L. Elliot’s Sheep Fold at Sunset and her
Cottage Garden, and to one or two clever little
pictures of moonlight by Mr. C. R W. Nevinson.
Good work of various kinds was also shown by Mr.
Longstaff, Miss Wicknam, Miss Stewart, Miss K.
Clausen, Miss Thrupp, Mrs. Bashall, Mr. IT. W.
Sandham, Miss C. Elliot, Mr. R. Vercoe, Mr.
N. N. Johnstone and Mrs. Lloyd Cooper.
The list of honours gained by students in the
Arts and Crafts Department of the Sir John Cass
Technical Institute included a Landseer Scholar-
ship (in sculpture) of ^40 at the Royal Academy
Schools, gained by Mr. William Charles Matthias.
The entrance examination to the Academy Schools
was passed by another Sir John Cass student,
Mr. A. Buxton. Miss Kate M. Dally gained the
Art Master’s certificate of the Board of Education,
and minor scholarships in art were awarded to
several students by the London County Council.
The local prizes in the Arts and Crafts Department
were awarded, in design, to C. M. Kirkman; in
drawing, to W. M. Collier and J. H. Gordon;
modelling, H. N. Eastaugh and W. Matthias;
enamelling, S. L. Samuels; jewellery, J. Hassno-
vitch ; and metal work, J. Harlaar.
Bolt Court, Lleet Street, which is inseparably
connected with the memory of Dr. Johnson, does
not give any promise of artistic interest to the
passer-by in Lleet Street who may happen to glance
down the narrow, dingy alley. In Bolt Court,
however, is the London County Council School of
Photo-Engraving and Lithography, housed at pre-
sent in the old buildings of the School of the
Stationers’ Company, and an exhibition of the
students’ work, held there lately, proved that art
can flourish amid what appear to be the most un-
suitable surroundings. The exhibition was not
intended to illustrate the technical achievements in
reproduction of the school directed by Mr. A. J.
Newton. It was composed almost entirely of
original work executed either in the life cla^s or
outside the school by members of the sketch club,
and some of it was exceedingly good. Especially
worthy of mention were the drawings by Mr. R. C.
Peter; a little painting of real artistic quality, of
nymphs running down the sands to the sea, by Mr.
C. W. Barber, and a second study by the same
student, of girls playing in the surf. Mr. Blampied’s
drawings of children, the time studies of flowers by
Mr. H. C. Hammond, Mr. J. Daniells, and Mr. E.
Penwarden, and the life studies by Mr. H Harris
were other good things in an attractive exhibition.
