TT lo suggested that manv devotees or the eratts are
Medford who would enjoy working together. Crafts
men follow diverse paths, suited to the individual taste,
but underlying all are the principles of design necessary
to each worker in order to reach true structural lines and ,
balanced decorations. The eastern schools give this pre- ,
paratoiy course for two to four years before the student I
specializes on pottery, interior decoration, wood block J
printing, weaving, jewelry, etc. This would not be feasi
ble here, but it would be both possible and pleasant for the ',
real crafts lovers to meet on stated days through the year
for the purpose of joint work along some proposed line.
Many of the crafts require much financial outlay and ex
pensive tools, but interior decoration and wood block print
ing do not, and would make a good beginning.
This organization would be in the nature of a guild,
where all could studv one problem of design and then
apply it to the one thing needed for "that little bungalow
around the corner." i
Perhaps as it strengthens, we might persuade some one
of the California workers to come as instructor for a short
term summer school, make the tuition normal and call on'
the valley's inhabitants to share the pleasure. The finest
wood block printer lives very far away, but she might be
coaxed to give us a small correspondence course. Perhaps
the new Medford library will follow its eastern confreres
and allot the guild one or two north rooms as a meeting
ground. ,
If this guild is based on sincerity, its growth will be
steady; it will draw workers here from far and near; it can
hold annual exhibitions for the outsider, and it will nec
essarily absorb the children, many of whom love to create
beauty and need only guidance in form and color.
If 'there are any readers who feel inspired to become
charter members of this guild, will they send their name
and address this week to Mrs. II. C. Stoddard, 240 South
Grape street, and a meeting will be called to form a defi
nite organization and discuss an atrrceable plan for sum-
