From the thoughtful paper on "The Aca
demy of Design and Art Education" we take
the following:
In the academy, naturally, the practice of
art is more than the philosophy or theory of
art; and yet lectures oa the history and philo
sophy of art do more to furnish the mi ads of
students than anything short of the long ex
perience of a well-nourished life. It is there
lore of no little importance that the academy,
in maintaining the ascendancy of art as a
practice to the professional student, above art
as an iisthetio intluence in society, should not
neglect to instruct students in the history and
theory of art in society. The object is to
invest the student-mind with art in all its
relations, and this can be done only by inter
preting whatever is representative in the art
of the past. But mere lectnres on the art of
different epochs and schools are not likely to
be of more value, nor of higher merit, than
the average of lectnres on literature; and the
student of art will probably rarely hear the
most capable man of his time on art, as the
student of liellet-lcttres rarely gets the best
word about literature from his professor. In
France the students of the Ecole des Beaux
Arts were exceptionally favored and perhaps
stimuluted by the lectures of Henri Taine on
the history and philosophy of art; in England,
at this late day, Kuskin is called to the chair
of professor of art at Oxford.
Now, in proportion to their personal
ascendancy or magnetism, Kuskin and Taine
will give direction to the powerless and sub
missive minds of students, who, instead of
stumbling forward in their own more or less
weak and groping way, will advance like
trained mediocrities, potent because of unity
of aim, which they have derived from a clever
and harmonious statement of art. On the
other hand, these must obstruct the develop
ment of more individual and unsubmissive
minds, and, by the prestige which they dorive
from following official instruction, easily
maintain themselves in the ascendant, while a
Rousseau outside of the academy, and a De-
eamps in revolt against official systems, ca
exist only by virtue of an indomitable con
stitution and a pronounced genius for art.
A generation under the teaching of a lite
rary critic like Mathew Arnold, for instanoe,
would disdain any such expression of graphic
and vital power, any such conception of his
tory, as Carlyle'a "French Revolution." A
generation under the teaching of the liuskin
of the first two vo.umesof "Modern Painters,"
would be sincerely unjust and narrowly true
in its understanding of some great historic)
examples of painting. This being so, the
difficulty of official instruction reaching posi
tive force without being narrow or intolerant,
or the difficulty of official instruction being
anything but negative, and therefore unsatis
factory, seems insurmountable. The func
tion of an organization for practice asd
instruction in the line arts is to provide
guidance and illumination for the feeblest
and most docile minds. How shall the
Academy of Design till the chair of history
and philosophy of art ? And, justly appreci
ating the place of art in education, really
wishing to ocoupy the whole mind of the
student with art, ought it not to provide lec
tures on architecture, sculpture, historical,
genre and landscape painting, as well as the
obviously practical instruction in anatomy,
perspective, painting, and modelling ? What
student, and even what artist, but would
like to hear II. K. Brown, or J. Quincy
Ward, give his understanding of an
cient and modern sculpture; Page or
Gray on the Italian masters of painting;
Gifford, or Kensett, or any of our chief
landscapists, on landscape-art? A dozen
artists of course are ready to stop us and sav:
Ward, Brown, rage, Gifford, Kensett, and
La Farge have something more important to
do than talk to artists and students about
their predilections in art; that they paint or
model as they do, precisely because they are
exclusively devoted to painting or modelling.
The reply is more plausible than satisfactory;
for it cannot be supposed that these artists,
who have devoted a good part of
their maturest study to the practice of a
special department of art, are not oble
to make a statement in the course of one
or two hours' talk, before persons really inte
rested in art, without draining or uuduly
taxing their strength; and we maintain that a
large and generous sympathy for art in a so
ciety and among young men so much in need
of it as our own, would speedily place the ex
perience and understanding of individuals, of
men of real ability, before students and
fellow-artists. We do not ask from our mast
honored painters, Bculptors, and architects
the pretension to or solicitude about literary
graces, or the skill of the rhetorician; we ask
from them an hour's talk which shall impart
to students the personal experience and un
derstanding of what landscape art or sculp
ture or architecture moy be to the particular
landscapist, sculptor, or architect or portrait-
Eainter, who may be called to give others the
enefit of his experience simply as he would
to a student in his studio.
We quote this suggestive paragraph from the
efcsay entitled "Onr Political Degeneracy its
Cause and Remedy:"
It matters little whether the immediate
purposes of those who solicit special legisla
tion be selfitih or not; they may be even dis
interested and philanthropic; they may design
to bring abont results in themselves benell
cent; but if they can be accomplished only by
means of an agency instituted for a wholly
different purpose, by forcing the community
into a false position, by a procedure which, if
imitated, must lead to the most frightful
abuses; in a word, if to got at them a funda
mental and dangerous departure from sound
principle be requisite, then it is bet
ter to forego them or reach them in
some other way. A bad method is
none the less bad because the motives of
those who resort to it are pure. More be
nignant designs never actuated men than
those imputed to certain schools of socialists
during the French revolution of 1818: they
wanted every tnnn to have work; they wantod
every man to have property; thoy wanted
every man to have credit; in a word, they
wanted every man to be free from need, to be
able to earn his own living, and to enjoy a
reasonable degree of comfort and happiness.
Who does not want all these things for him
self and his fellows? But, then, the
socialists wanted, besides, that the
State fihonld guarantee work, pro
perty, credit to every man without
regard to his ability or deserts which was
not only flatly impossible, but thoroughly
unjust and .mischievous. So, in our own
country and times, there are many good souls
who would like the Government to build their
churches, to endow high schools and colleges,
to patronize the arts, to support inventors
nnd scientific men, to run railroads across the
continent and steamships on the high seas,
and to take in hand a thousand other laudable
schemes and projects. But these kind souls
do not stop to think that not one of these
things can be done without exacting money
from somebody's reluctant pocket, which is
an invasion of property; that not one of them
can bo done without multiplying prodigiously
the number of office-holders, which is a dau
gerous extravagance; that not one of them
can be done without diverting the Govern
ment from its proper business as the univer
sal organ, which is usurpation; and that,
while the power and patronage of the State
were thus swelling into congestion, the solf
reliance, the sagacity, and the enterprise of
individuals would be impoverished and para
lyzed to a proportionate extent, which is
sui cidal.

We make this quotation from Mr. Lossing's
article on "Our Barbarian Brethren:
Whence came the inhabitants of the darker
regions ot tne JNoitn, now tne domain of our
republic, is an open question. It has never
been answered by a satisfying iact, and pro
bably never will be. Nearly all investigators
have travelled from the same starting-point.
Assuming the unity of the human race to be
a fact, according to popular biblical interpre
tation, and considering the garden of delight
spoken of in Holy Writ as the old homestead
of the whole human family, students, revers
ing the better order of logic, have been busy
with guesses and in a nunt for plausible hy
potheses for more than three centuries. And
often lancilul and iooiisu nave been these
hypotheses. Rejecting oa heterodox the idea
of Lord 4vames and otners, that tne old
Americans may have been an indigneous r&ce
of men, and regarding the most beautiful
creature of earth, who first breathed in Eden,
as the n&other of us all Barbarian and Civi
lized Man scholars have earnestly sought for
coincidences of language, traditions, customs,
and crania, for proof that the first dull-red
people of this continent were tawny immi
grants from Asia. They have cited some
mystio poetry of the half fabulous bards, or
the dark, oracular sayings of the priests and
seers and philosophers of ancient days, to
show that our continent was undoubtedly
known to early navigators of the Mediterra
ranean Sea, and was naturally peopled by
them or their countrymen. They have cited,
in proof, passages from Uesiod and Homer.
They have have pointed to the narratives
of Hanno, the Carthaginian explorer of
the seas. They have argued nervously
from dialogues of Theopompns, and sen
tences from the stories of Diodorug Siculus,
Plato and Aristotle. They have strained
common-sense to its utmost tension in the
arrangement of fancied evidences that the
aborigines of America were descendants of
the Phoenicians, or of the Chinese or Japa
nese family of Mongolians, or the Egyptians,
or the Hindoos; and writers like Grotius,
Thorowgood, Adair, Boudinot, and others,
have argued, without showing a single pre
mise of solid fact, that the fathers of our bar
barian brethren were the men of the "lost
tribes of Israel," who "took counsel to go
forth into a further country, where never
mankind dwelt." Cotton Mather sturdy Par-
son Mather wno beneved
and seemed to have an
m witches,
intimate
ac
as we
first
qnaintance with Lucifer,
forcibly, saying, " And
know not when or how the
guessed
though
Indians
became inhabitants of this mighty continent,
yet we may guess that probably the Devil
whom he called the "old usurping landlord
of America" decoying these miserable sal
vages hither, in hopes that the Gospel of the
Lord Jesus Christ would never come here to
destroy or disturb ms absolute empire over
them." Might not mere theorists find a good
example in Mather, who, when satisfied that
the delusion of witchoraft had made a fool of
him, declared that the subject was "too dark
and deep for ordinary comprehension," and
referred its decision to the Day of Judg
ment?" Mather's idea that the red race is morally
devilihh, and not fairly human, exoept in
shape, seems to have been a prevailing one
with the civilized man, especially of the typo
of the belligerent settler, and the soltish
trader, contractor, and othor promoters of
frontier wars, ever since his first contuct with
that race. He accepts the theory as the
most agreeable and profitable solution of the
question of the origin of our barbarian breth
ren; for it gives license to the froe action of
the mailed hand, whose warraut for its vio
lence and wrong is the doctrine of the op-
iiressor in every form, that Might makus
Mght. It gives countenance to the opinion
of on eminent British author an opi
nion that seems to be largely preva
lent in the pulpit, in legislative halls,
and around the chairs of state, in our
country that they are "animals of an infe
rior order, incapable of acquiring religious
; knowledge, or being trained to the functions
' of civil life." It justifies the assertion that
the Indian's way of life "surely affords proof
that he is not destined by Providence perma
nently to exist." As all the civilized nutious
were once more or loss barbarous, and some
of them savage, may we not reasonably con'
elude that, if the red members of our oom.
mon household bad been troated by their
conquerors and holders of power ovnr theiu
as men and as brethren, and not as creatures
void of reuson, and without the pule of inter
national right, aud been taught righteous
ness by perpetual example, they might have
acquired as clear a charter for permanent ex
istence as other children of the All-Father ?
From the paper on "Albert Durer," by A.
II. Guernsey, we quote as follows:
Albert Durer was born at Nurnberg, on
the L'Olh of May, 1 171, and died on the (ith of
April, l"(i!8. His father, an honest, God
fearing man, was a skilful goldsmith, and
wished his son to follow the same profession.
But the boy's bent was toward Art; and at the
age of fifteen he was placed with Wohlge
muth, the most noted painter in his native
city. In three years he learned all that his
master could teach him. He had before this
made good progress in his profession. There
is extant a portrait of himself at the age of
thirteen, which gives evidence of decided
talent.
At the ago of three-and-twenty Durer mar
ried the pretty Agnes Frey, who turned out a
nnd shrew, and led him an uncomfortable life.
Her fortune, most probably, enabled him to
purchase the house in which he lived and
wrought. It Btill stands. It can hardly be
called a princely mansion. It is entered
through a wide door which admits into a
covered court-yard, which is really the sup
port for the rooms above, for the habitable
portions of the house are all up stairs. The
walls of the upper part of the house are of
that kind of construction known as "half
timber." The second story presents nothing
very remarkable; but climbing np a rather
dnrk stairway which the foot of Durer must
often have trodden, almost four centuries ago,
the traveller of to-day reaches the third floor,
the real home of Albert Durer. The front
room of this story is a fine apartment. It is
lighted by "windows with cusped mullions.
The view from the window of this room is
quaint enough. Dominating over all is the
Castle of Nurnberg, which look! very like a
somewhat dilapidated manufactory. At the
foot of the castle runs a straight street, bor
dered by odd edifices, which leads towards the
Durer I'latz and Rauch's statue. One quaint
building standing just opposite Durer'a win
dow deserves special note. It overtops all
its neighbors, and its high-pitched roof is
crowned by a sort of balcony tower. This
building beurs the name of "Pilate's House;"
for therein resided Martin Koetzel, who had
been twice to the Holy Land, and had
brought back with him exact measurements
of the way to Calvary from the supposed
place of trial. He laid down the distances
upon the map of Nurnberg, making his own
house to stand for that of Pilate, the line
stretching forward to the cemetery of St.
John; and upon this road, which is now
named Durer Strasse, Adam Kraft was erect
ing sculptures of the "Seven Agonies," which
still remain in good preservation.
Dnrer's active life measured the'great in
tellectual uprising of the sixteenth century.
Two years before he set up his studio in
Nurnburg, Columbus had discovered the New
worm, j-iutner was singing for his bread in
the streets of Eisenach; Raphael was making
his first drawings; Michael Angelo, three
years the junior of Durer, had not begun that
series of works which were to entitle him to
be considered the mightiest artist whom the
world has yet known. Art in Italy had, in
deed, within a few years, made rapid ad
vances. But Italy was then a long way from
Germany; and Durer knew nothing of the
works of the great Italian painters. He had
to be his own master; and even when, in mid
dle life, he visited Italy, the works of the great
southern painters influenced him bat little.
From first to last he was Albert Durer, the
German. Italian painters were wont to give
portraits of their mistresses as representa
tions of the Virgin. Durer, too, painted
Madonaas; but none of these were portraits of
women of dovbtful character.
Albert Dnrer's artistic life lasted something
more than thirty years. We believe that no
man, before or since, has left behind him for
bo long a period so many memorials of his
labor. Counting up his works now extant,
after a lapse of almost four centuries, they
number paintings, engravings, and draw
ings fully a thousand, the authenticity of
which is unquestioned, besides many others
in respect to which art critics are in doubt.
The list of the works, the authenticity of
which may be considered proven, is about as
follows: Paintings, 2150; engravings on cop
per, 100; engravings on wood, 2.10; drawings
and sketches, 420. Hew many may have
been lost, er have escaped the observation of
his biographers, no man can say.
Albert Durer'a place in art is unquestioned.
In grandeur of thought, solemnity of feeling,
and tenderness of expression he found no
equal, and left no superior. Yet it must be
admitted that there was running through all
his works a vein of grotesqueness, which, in
a measure, mars their artistio value. Some
thing of this may be owing to his mixed
blood. On his father's side he was Hun
garian. His paternal ancestors were sprung
from the wild hordes that Attila lod into
Europe. Wherever they settled they 4 'occu
pied themselves with cattle and horses," as
Albert says of his immediate paternal ances
tors. On his mother's side he was German;
and thus he inherited two opposite strains of
character the wild Oriental and the sober
Teutonic; both, though from a different
point, opposed to the Latin form of culture
which hud for generations been the only type
of Christendom.
From Elizabeth R. Peabody's article on
"Industrial Schools for Women" we make this
extract:
What are the duties and claims of women
who are coming forward to fill their places in
family and social life; and what are the insti
tutions we want to prepare them to do these
duties; especially, what is the place among
tin in of industrial schools ? For, certainly,
the general reformation of industrial life in
our cluy must also change home life, whose
accustomed industry is of an antiquated type,
machinery and manufactories having lilted
the work of ppinning and weaving from its
prenKure on biBgle-handud strength. Even
the ordinary luundry aud needlo-work is
tronsferred to largo publio establishments;
nnd, in proportion, female labor en manse
bus becoiue a demand, and of commer
cial valuo in the market. It is not uncom
mon to see in our daily papers advertisements
of the furnishing establishments of our
cities culling for a hundred or five hundred
female laborers; culls answered all too
quickly from the country by girls who
know not to what they come. We all know
how sadly this demand for female lubor is
influencing the working-women's question
every where by the xnauy advertisements of
work wanted, and the sad contrast of work
and wages. Miaa Marwedel says that a Lon
don dry goods merchant, wanting sonio tbirfy
working-women, was obliged to sen J away,
not without the help of the police, seven hun
dred womnu who gathered round his door at
seven o'clock in the morning of a rainy No
vember day! And the average nnmier of
governesses in London who apply for pUcos
every day is more than two thousand! It is
mentioned in the London Times that a gen
tleman wanting a governess received five
hundred and ten applications! Governesses
in the work-houses of England are not un
common. There are also ten times more
governesses that pass their examinations in
Prussia than are wanted. Yet there' is
another fact which, in this connection, it may
seem hard to believe: in the very same plaons
tbere is an unfulfilled demand for thoroughly
skilled laborers of very many kinds. In un
dertaking to show why and how this is, Miss
Marwedel Bays: "It used to be said in Ger
many that a girl leaving school at fourteen
could support hernelf." But the influence of
the home and school education is dependent
on its keeping pace with the wants of the
times; and the German schools, though they
have adopted some improvements, have not
done so. At the time the above-mentioned
proverb arose all situations for girls of four
teen were supposed to be inside of families.
dJhit now, when girls are thrown into facto
ries and 6hps, unguarded, on their own re
sponsibility, the case is different. Physically
feeble and half-developed, not fitted to act
and think independently, unsupported by the
requisite preliminary knowledge, they pass
from the constraint of school rules to a per
sonal freedom they do not know how to use.
The necessary consequences are all the
moral evils to which our poor f aotory girls
and domestic servants are exposed; and
which, we are too apt to say, are "the charac
teristic faults of our time," forgetting that
we are responsible, by reason of our more
commanding positions, for these same char
acteristics. We are proud of our hospitals and alms
houses, of our reformatories and work-houses,
of our asylums and regulated prisons, of onr
life insurances for the sick and for burial
expenses. But all these things are for the
middle and end of spoiled and infirm lives.
What a blessed change in onr moral and social
circumstances it would be if society and the
State should take equally generous care to
invigorate and preserve the nncontaminated
healthy limbs of our youth, especially of onr
female youth, and to give moral ripeness to
their characters ! We are proud of our schools
as models for other nations; but we take our
children out of them when they have re
ceived less than nothing for the conduct of
practical life, and most need good examples
and moral protection, neither strengthened in
inner capacity nor outside practical ability,
even when they have, what the majority
never do have, a year of regular apprentice
ship. What necessarily must be the lot of
the workincwomen of to-day ? Without any
systematic instruction in the majority of
cases, instead of being skilled in labor, in a
hopeless mediocrity, their lot is the sorrowful
one of working for any wages; and this is
not all, for the better working power is drawn
down by the iron law of demand and supply
to the same starvation prices. This is not
only true in Germany; the workingwomen of
France, England, and America are suffering
in the same way.
