To judge BY the meagre collection with
which the American Academy Of Design has
opened its AL and winter exhibition, the dns
arts are ct discount in America, even among
our artists themselves But such an inference
should not too hastily be drawn. The Council
Of the Academy might have wisely postponed
the exhibition until larger and superior col
lection had been gathered from the studios Of
those artists who, We have reason to know, have
not been Idle during the past summer. At
home and abroad not few Of them have been
industriously ct work. A little we'll directed
effort might have brought TO the walls Of the
Academy many canvas that would respond
to the increasing demand of our citizens for .
greater variety and higher standard Of ex-
cellence in the productions Of American art
We are not unaware Of the difficulties and
encouragement with which art has had to con-
tend during the comparatively few years since
1t fairly began Its course in this country. We
would do full honor to those artists, several Of
whose names stand high on the catalogue Of
the Academy, who have turned aside from the
temptations Of political life and foregone the
prizes offered by successful business life in
this new and active democratic society, and
devoted themselves to the education and the
qualification Of an artistic taste which is but
of recent development here. But this taste
has now been developed, and, as we
have intimated, its demands are in
creasing Only let our artists keep
pace with the rapid progress of the taste
which they themselves have done so much to
create and to foster, and school Of American
art may ere long arise not unworthy of the
field which the future promises to open. There
is abundant wealth to reward literally the
highest efforts Of genius in art. In our incom-
parable scenery, in our history, and particu-
larry in the stirring incidents and scenes Of our
recent war, there is no lack Of material for the
finest pictures and statues. The requirements
of private and public life are daily multiplying
opportunities for higher style OF architecture.
To mention but one or two points OF detail
partment Of art, why should our architects
persist in encouraging the whims that lead to
the Disagreement Of our principal streets by
such wild irregularity in the heights Of the
splendid marble buildings which are, one after
another, towering, like SO many Babels, to the
sky Could not something like what the
French call oligaemens DO introduced In our
street architecture that would secure the COM
bined advantages Of . general uniformity and OF
the utmost variety in detail! L. 1t not time also
to suppress Ia our ine private dwellings those
unsightly and inconvenient excrescences in
the shape Of bay windows, which should never
have come into fashion! Even In . country
house the alleged advantages Of the bay win
dow are counterbalanoed BY its certain disad-
vantages. 1t Il both too hot in summer and
too cold in winter. In = city house it is simply
intolerable all the year round.

that this island was under water for eight

20 often visit The West India islands have been
unusually severe ibis year, and especially at
