BOSTON ART SCHOOL. This school, organized in 1876, is the most important school of design in Boston. The course includes drawing and painting from life and casts, anatomy, modeling, and perspective. The student has also the benefit of the Museum for copying purposes. There are two valuable scholarships—the Paige traveling scholarship for two years, and the Longfellow traveling scholarship for three years. Besides these there are ten scholarships of free tuition awarded each year. The annual prizes are the Sears prizes of $50 each for a drawing from a cast, the nude, and a portrait in oils; and the Thayer prize of $150, in three parts of fifty dollars each, for work in decorative design. The fee is from $90 to $125 for three terms.
