A fuller understanding of life and an apprecia- tion of American culture (not grades nor degrees nor diplomas) will be the objective of a unique '<School of Beauty" to be established this spring. on, the peninsula formed .by Green Bay in the upper reaches. of the State of Wisconsin. The director. and originator of the, school is Jens Jensen, famostewrld over« for hiswr in landscape' architecture. For many years lie was a resident of Wilrnette with a studio in. High- land Park, but no* makes, b is permîanent ho me on the rocky shores >of« Green Bay, his f avorite locationr beczause of its resemblance to his Scandi- navian birthplace. A maximum of thirty studentswill find this location,nfot far from the' town of Ellison Bay. an ideal spot to live close to'nature whule studying wood. carving, landscape architecture, .liorticuit- ture. painting, music, and weaving. Instructors will not be regularlyemployed.- Instead outstand- ing personalities in the art world,. some from America and some from. Europe, will give the students the benefit . of their- experience, and knowledge at intervals. No teacher will remain' longer than -a period oi a few weekcs. Residence for the students will 'bein small log cabins on a woodland campus of 120 acres' and everyone will assist witli the actual physical labor of maintaining, the school. They are to work in the gardens and orchards, will lielp pro- duce sorte of their own food, and ivili cooperate in transforming the surroundinigs into extensive- natural gardens. This latter project, particiilarly, will allow stu.- dents an opportunity to profit f rom association with a master of architectural engineering and landscape science. The young people who enter the school are ta be not younger than 19 years, and the school termi will extenci the vear around, except for 'the inonth of December. Always an advocate -of the finest and purest in American art, no matter what bi*anch or what particular field, Jens Jensen seems admirablv fitted to carry out this original experiment.i education. AIr. Jensen believes that America is suffering from specialization and an inability to appreciate the benefits of present day culture, and it is this appreciation and understanding that hi$ schoôl will fogter.
