OF SCHOOLS OF ART, 1910,
AT SOUTH KENSINGTON.
This year a peculiar interest attaches to the
exhibition of the prize works in the National
Art Competition for South Kensington and its
methods are being subjected—not for the first
time—to searching criticism. A Commission is
sitting to enquire into the whole system of teaching
