visitors. The following is an account by a correspondent of the "Yorkshire Evening Press", which is reprinted with permission :"There are many school art exhibitions to be seen nowadays, but the present hanging of pictures in St. Peter's School Big Hall in York is rather different, in as much as it is remarkably illustrative of the extent to which an independent school can patronise a subject such as art (writes a special correspondent). But on looking at this exhibition, which maintains a high general standard of creative idea and skilful technique, it should be realised that all sections of the school have made a contribution to the work shown. From youngsters of eight in the preparatory school to youths of 18 in Sixth Form scholarship sets is a wide diversity of work in both applied and fine art subjects. Art is a Form subject; there is no intense specialisation at Art School level and the exhibition is the proud result of art as a subject given its proper place in a school of general education. Parents will have much to see, but I think their fancies will be particularly taken with the carved and decorated plaster pieces and the "modernish" terra cotta models. A very praiseworthy piece of work is J. N. Ramsden's measured drawing of Archbishop Musgrave's tomb in York Minster, with which he wins the Needham Architecture Prize."
