ADA L. ROLLINS.
"Art' was the title of Miss Rollins
essay. The topic was treated mainly
in application to the fine arts of archi-
lecture, sculpture and painting. The
history of architecture and sculpture
was traced from the birthplace of both
Egypt. Speaking of the stiff mag
es peculiar to Asiatic sculpture, Miss
Rollins observed that their postures
were not impossible, perhaps, but GER
'tainly very uncomfortable. Sculpture
attained its highest development in
Greece, while the more modern art of
painting made it's greatest triumphs
in Italy. While American art is light
ly spoken of abroad, American artists
are every year winning renown in COM
petition with the Europeans. There
are signs of the dawn of new era for
Art in America.
