The Monthiy Magazine of }
Vancouver School of Art 4

Since 1929, with my own eyes wit-
nessed. and watched how rapid the school ;
has been progressing like the rising ye
Suns gine. solid. foundation =. of the
school, the incomparable system of
teaching, the master’s voice sometimes
rather severe, sometimes very gentle, }
but all the goodstudents certainly they
know how to take them,

Yes, they do work hard with |
their mind and force that makes things
worth-a-while. Now the monthly magazine
is born so the brushes can express
your works and also tell the people
what you are doing. That is why I call
M.M. of V.S.A. "The Northern Star of
North America.

400 WORDS FROM THE WISE (From Page 1)

- ae Have we a plan, or are we waiting for _ ae
Lady Luck's grim face to break into a
smile? Or there's that composition,
Pe drawing, or poster the instructor liked
so much yesterday - did it just happen
to be good, or, was there a plan bee
hind it? To have an idea, te overthrow
the difficulties, to grind it with cog-
itation, then to project the whole from
your mental image upon paper, with no
dearth of hard work, is to earn, indeed
the mark of excellence it will surely
have. To hold a brush in a crafty hand
is very fine, but to guide it with a
thinking mind is much finer,

Many times, no doubt, our object=
ives will be put off stride by the cir~
cumstances of the moment, buty this
hardly seems reason for not having an
objective. So let us aim at something
(some authorities advocate aiming rether
high) but at least aim -

Good night.
