Since the "discovery" of Walter Smith, American art educators quite naturally assume that Smith was the most important or only graduate of the South Kensington System to influence the development of art education in this continent. In fact Smith was only one of a number of South Kensingtonians who carried the system to the far corners of the English-speaking world, particularly to the colonies that were to become Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa, as well as to Canada. This paper examines the career of one such art educator: David Phillip Blair (1850-1925). Just as Smith was influential in three countries (England, the United States, and Canada), Blair, who was born in Scotland, was active in England, New Zealand, and Canada. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
