BY EISHU KATO

impressed me more deeply
than ever with the convic-
tion that however different
may be the conception of
art, or the technique em-
ployed in giving expression
to that conception, and
however far apart the East
may be from the West in
mode of thinking or life,

Unkai, especially The Jewel
of Benkiva by the last-
named sculptor, were highly
commended.

Art School, Stratford Road, Kensington, Mr.
J. J. Shannon, R.A., distributed the prizes and
afterwards congratulated the students upon the
quality of their work. He said it was evident that
the school was a “ live ” one and that in art training
it was making strides in the right direction. Mr.
Shannon laid stress upon the importance of hard

students not to be led away by certain tendencies
that are working harmfully in some of the schools
of to-day. No artist, he said, had ever done great
work without the sincere study that was the
only foundation upon which lasting success
could be built. The students were exceptionally
