REESE, TEACHER IBERTY COLLEGE is especially proud of this department, i and the work Which its pupilshave done. Miss Reese has enjoyed the finest advantages offered by the best teachers, both of America and Europe. She has great talent nat- urally, and this native talent has been developed under the most favorable circumstances. She brings to her work unbounded enthusiasm and is determined that the School of Art at Liberty shall be second to none in this country. Many a girl loves form, color and nature, but hesitates to cultivate that love because she thinks she has no talent. Talent is largely a matter of awakened emotion. The ability to feel must come before the ability to do. She should have artistic culture. She does not need talent. Any one can train her hand to reproduce beautiful Objects; she can become a. good artist by proper training, perseverance and practice. The course of study beginning With free-hend drawing offers instruction in all branches.
