THE SMITH-BOYLSTON
SCHOOL OF INDUSTRIAL
ARTS
Clayton and Rabun county con
siders themselves fortunate in
being chosen as the home of the
new ‘‘Art Colony” which has
been established, this summer,
at the Earl House.
The school is in the nature of
summer school in Industrial
Arts and combines the advan
tages of a beautiful and facinat
ing study with the benefits to be
derived from a month spent in
this wonderfully healthful and
invigorating climate.
Work done in this school is ac
credited in the public school-sys
tem of Atlanta, and the course
of study is planned for the teach
ers who must give instructions
in art. The courses are thorough
ly practical, and are arranged to
meet the needs of teachers and
supervisors of average school
room equipment. Here art is
correlated with all the studies in
the curriculum, giving definite
and valuable help in visualiza
tion.
There are two courses, one for
teachers of primary grades, and
the other for teachers for gram
mar grade. They include the
best methods to be used in the
public schools. Among a num
ber of the fascinating problems
bookbinding, basketry, clay mod
eling, costume design, lettering,
poster making, decorating, de
signing and construmtiod-
The directors are Miss- Char
lotte G. Smith and Miss Elese R.
Boylston, who are Supervisors
of Art, in Atlanta. Both are es
pecially/Well equipded to teach
these subjects, having studied
in the finest art schools in the
country.
Georgia, and especially Clay
ton and Rabun county, should be
proud of this new enterprise as
it shows quite a forward step in
the advancement of art in the
south, and because of *the fact
there is only one other school of
its kind in the United States,
that of the Berkshire Summer
School of A'rt, in western Mass.
The school is not only designed
for the, benefit of the Atlanta
teachers but for any who may
wish to take advantage of the
opportunities offered for the
special training. The ladies in
charge would be especially glad
to have the Rabun countv teach
ers with fhein, as well as those
of Atlanta.
.Thursday, .July 10th will be
“Open House Day” at the Studio
of the school, at the Earl House
and visitors will be admitted
from 3 to 6 o’clock.
Let us extend a hearty wel
come to the Smith-Boylston
School of Industrial Arts, and
as many as possible should take
advantage of the opportunity to
attend the school.
