dir,MOTlQN PICTURl IW\ I MAGAZINE THE Federal School, one of the oldest and largest art schools in America, has trained Imndreds of successful illustrators. It was originally founded by the Bureau of Engraving to supply artists for its own needs. Since then Federal School graduates have become so distinguished for their high quality work, that they are in great demand by publishers and art organizations. The reason for this was plainly because of the thorough training given by the school, instruction which was not duplicated by any other institution in tlie country. Why the Federal "Master Course" Excels A strictly up-to-date and practical art course must give thorough and comprehensive training in many different subjects, such as illustrating, serious and comic cartooning, lettering, poster designing, window card illustrating, etc. No one artist is competent to give instruction in all these branches. For this reason the Federal School has established its "Master Course" in which ^ every subject is covered by a specialist, an artist who has made a success in that one particular field. No other school can offer a course of instruction which is nearly comparable. No other institution in the country has such an arrav of artists as are on the Federal Staff'.
