DESIGN RADUATION this year will end, for many of us, our studies at Fawcett. Another school in which we all must study is the School of Experience. Dame Na- t ture is the head of this school, the oldest and most c[o 1 experienced teacher in the world. WHer class rooms are anywhere and everywhere. Her lectures are given to us in her works and these are so perfect that never will any student be able to surpass them. Always willing to receive any of us as pupils, she will only ask that we keep our eyes open and see what is about us; everything has beauty. We go to nature for the best in color and design. The landscape, all above and below it, everything on the earth, even to the tiniest beetle which crawls at your feet, has the beauty of design in the tracery on its back. Oh! the exquisite ele- gance of the butterflies and the flowers and birds. We have been taught here at Fawcett the principles of design with untiring patience and the importance of design has been stressed by our prin- cipal and instructors. Just as a good taste for reading may be cultivated, so the appreciation of design. CONSTANCE REED
