J-'--. i-T- T 't - I 1 THREE SOURCES OF KNOWLEDGE Experience,- Conversation and ReadingThe Use of Pic tures in Our, Schools. OSCAR VERNON HICKS. Pictorial art ministers to an in ornate law of our being, which cannot be neglected with injury to our individuality. It is as . much the duty' of parents, through pictor al - art, to , baring beauty into their-homes, as it is to keep'the moral atmosphere of the home pure. Indeed, the lat ter cannot, and, does not, exist without the former. Our noblest men, and greatest characters, have been reared in beautiful, not costly,- surroundings. Un fortunately there --'are yet many homes in this democratic nation, without beauty, 'refinement, pure moral atmosphere, or religion; It is only through our democratic system of education that we have hope for the children of such homes. It is a function of the school to furnish an environment of beauty, and a . pure moral at- .mpsphere, for the. children dur ing the time; that they are ; with in its walls. , Such an environ ment in early life will never lose its charm to the future citizen, and never cease' tq exert a mould ing influence for good.- . The beauty, and uses, of pic torial art are.nplbhger: only for the homes of wealth, - or : public buildings, ' and " magnificent churches. The idea of bringing this art within our scfiools, and making it accessible Ito! allte children of our nation, is not - an impracticable one. Modern in genuity; and skill, has placed within tho: reach of v modest mans, artistic, tastefuf, : and faithful copies , of . .the - world's masterpieces m the lds- of landspe,painting;o'li;ayal ,of profane, .and reliQusijistpry.; and in thefield of ethical paint ing. In every corrimtfnityva little labor, a patriotic Se, a love of children, on Jt3t'part.; of 1 its citizens, can placetable and desirable pictures inne- school. Pictures, v likeVrnjinyty other things, can be cuvtded;j into two main classes: those that serve an evil purpose, and those. that serve a good one: The pictures in home are not the only ;ones that children, and young pebpjfcv feast their eyes on. There are ; many foul pictures hidden away, ome times, Which are taken outeveE and anon, to be gazed ?at;: arid gloated over andrstudied by; our children. . In our colleges -in many a ropiii, are picturesjwhich the occupant would hastily'ltake down, and carefully pack alway in the bottom of his trunk" if he was contemplating a,, visit to that . room from his motherToi? sister; In our club 3ooms, aid hillsof various organizations, are -$oiifen pictures which would have to be removed before a' ael elation of ladies could vfsijtHe'se places without blushinjer-. . - " V - V : What doe:s this mean? It means that people are going kto have pictures, and if they have de veloped the proper taste in this direction, they will have;; and en joy, good uplifting. picture?) While the mind is plastic, ' and su3ceptible to all influences, a healthy, uplifting kno vledge of pictorial aft should be introduce ed to children in the schools, and ,with aU their "getting," let them get a . good taste for, and knowledge of , pictures. When this knowledge" is ac quired by children they:vill have develop ed a permanent capacity for the; enjoyment of pictures, and ootaineda.high- arid, endur ing branch of knowledge which will develop and increase even after other acquisitions of the intellect have ceased to i increase. Spiritual things the sense of the beautiful and sublime, the soul of menare the domohating and most enduring things in the uni verse. Pictorial art appeals to, and instructs, the spiritual -part of men, and the study of this art is invaluable. It is a duty of the schools in our democracy to de- velop the sense of the beautiful and sublime; to interpret to the child the; wonders of - pictorial art: and it is a function of the church to nourish this sense af ter the child has left the influ ence of the school. Let us feel that it is a privilege to bring the pleasure, influence, and power pf pictorial art with in the reach of every child, even the hu mbles and poorest, t Let us hancr upon i the walls of our schools, landscape paintings that present to us in a aenmte, per manent, instructive form the beauty of nature; correct repre sentations of historical events, and great historical characters; pictures that powerfully, and touchingly present human na ture; and last but not least im- .... portant, paintings of those mas ters who bave given us such poetical representations of the events and characters upon which we base our religious f aitlu Our heritage of pictorial art Js a glor ious one. .: , j 'ITT j. ' "Around the mighty, master came The marvels which his pencil wroght, Those miracles of power whose fame Is wide as human thought." . i. . We have seen that pictorial art is a source of thought, and hence contributes to knowledge. Moreover, it is the handmaid of nature; and in bringing the beau ty,, of. nature into a definite, .per manent, instructive form it con tributes to the well being of our aesthetic nature; and in doing the latter, it finds a place in cur Teligious life. " : , v Agaiii we have seen that the language of nature is beauty, arid men in responding to this language manifests an aesthetic nature, j The development of this aesthetic nature is requisite for - a symetrical character and nature individuality. The de velopment of the aesthetic can not be reserved to the last to be attended to, or not, as opportu nity may grant.- Its' culture from the Wginning of education is of the utmost importance. VThe aesthetic nature is the up lifting element in man; it creates eSire for a beautiful mind, and iajeaiitiful character. Deprive iien;of?if, and r.ybu rob life of, haiitseharm. ' : Pictured are an element; of the s&ursjf odd; ' children delight in tien;-they are invariably a sol ace c of prdinary humanity; a treasure of the wealthy class; theVbhurch rejoices in them. '. Ariimateand inanimate nature sactiohs the:t use .of beauty through the means of pictorial art. The teachings of nature we can apply as a test for Uhe value of art. "First follow nature, and your judg- - ment frame, , By her just standard, which is still the same; " -r. " , Unerring nature, still divinely bright, Liie force, end beauty, must all impart, At once the source, and end, and test ; of art."

College at Raleigh, and introduc ed the bill and supported it until enacted into law, to equip the agricultural building at the A;' & M. College. He has been a member, of the state' board of agricalture for six years, and has ever been interested in the improvement of the . common schools and good roads, in fact in all measures that would ren der country life! nvore attractive.
