ARTICLE I.-THE RELATIONS OF ART TO EDU-
CATION.

THE elegant and costly building designed for the use of the Yale School of Art is now completed. Its founder, Mr. Street, of New Haven, chose to bear unassisted, the burden of its erection; and in so doing has built for himself a name for large-hearted liberality. Few men could have given so much for an object of pure benevolence; fewer still would have had the breadth of mind to do so much for an educational object, and especially for a department of education so imperfectly understood and appreciated as that of Art.

Mr. Street was not permitted to live to see the completion of this beautiful edifice, so that it has now become his monument-a most fitting monument of his mind and character. Nothing that is low, or false, or unsightly, should enter its doors. All things that are true, that are pure, that are lovely, that are of good report, and only such as these, should be found within it. Mr. Street possessed the means and the opportunity of cultivating his mind to an uncommon degree. He did this for his children's sake as well as for his own. He was the indefatigable superintendent of his children's education, and their personal friend and guide in all that is worthy and beautiful, and was thus made to be the instrument of guiding

and educating others. A fine classical scholar, a man of extensive and accurate reading in English literature, and of exquisite taste in all matters pertaining to art; he was also a man of decided will, and of quiet but independent opinions. Kept from the active pursuits of business life by long-continued ill health, his mind assumed a more thoughtful and meditative cast, in which fruitful soil ideas respecting the meaning and limits of a true education sprang up. He deeply felt the want in our systems of education of the practical element, of something which might unite educated men with the present time and the present world in which they live. No one more thoroughly appreciated the need of classical and scientific studies, as forming the foundation of education; but he thought that there were men who lived now as well as in the days of Greece and Romemen who spoke their own living languages, and wrought their own living works, which were well worth knowing and studying. He endowed a professorship of modern languages in Yale College; and instead of spending his fortune in erecting a costly palace for himself, he built a "Palace of Art," free to all who would enter with earnest mind to learn more of the beauty of truth. It was well said by one of the speakers at the last meeting of the alumni of Yale, "that this art-building might, indeed, in the course of time crumble and decay, but it would have then reproduced itself; and still live on in far more beautiful structures, and above all in its silent influence in building up the imperishable fabric of a finished, ennobled, and educated mind."

We would add to this brief notice of the character of Mr. Street, that a sincere and humble Christian faith sustained him through the labors and trials of an age lengthened out amid great suffering and bodily infirmity to seventy-four years, and sheds a cheering, mild, and blessed light upon his memory.

The building, whose cost is estimated to approach the sum of two hundred thousand dollars, may be described as composed of two principal parts or wings, one forty-six by eighty-six feet, the other thirty-one by seventy-seven feet, connected by another part containing the entries and chief staircases. This arrangement gives quite an irregular surface of wall, thus lending light and shade and picturesque effect. The building is

plain and solid, with points, however, of judicious ornamentation. Its principal material is the New Jersey sandstone, relieved by darker Connecticut sandstone for the architectural lines and courses. The corridors are pointed Gothic, which, with the hipped roof and the turrets at the angles, characterize the structure as a Gothic building with special adaptation to a modern use. Thus the roof is half of slate and half of glass, and there are other novel and original features; indeed, for a successful and beautiful adaptation of the Gothic to the purposes of a modern art-building the architect deserves great praise. The basement, which is twelve feet high, has rooms well lighted and fitted for lecturing and modeling. The first story is devoted to studios, library room, and official apartments. The second and highest story contains two galleries for the exhibition of pictures and works of art, the larger one seventy six by thirty, the smaller sixty-eight by twenty-two. While the principal entrance is upon the town side, the finest aspect of the building is upon the College grounds; and, when the architectural plans in respect to the College grounds and the other new buildings to be erected are carried ont, the effect will be attractive and noble. The inauguration of this building for the purpose of instruction in art in Yale College brings up naturally the general subject of the relations of art to education. Perhaps something may be said to place this subject in a clearer light than it seems to be at present in the minds of some, even intelligent men.

True education, we hold, aims to produce a harmonious development of the nature, neglecting nothing essential, and cultivating nothing disproportionately, to the total exclusion of other things. One may be educated to a certain extent and in a certain direction, and be far from being a man of true culture; whole regions of his nature may still lie barren and waste, unresponsive to the design of their Creator. A good mathematician is not a thoroughly educated man, nor is a good philologian. The culture of the pure intellect is not the sole object of education. Even physical culture is not to be overlooked. We cannot tell how great an influence a manly physical training exerts upon character. The Christian world seems to be just now beginning to see what the Greeks per
