lightful. and the trip was thoroughly en-

President Robert Stead AMI Secretary
Glenn Brown of the Washington Chapter
American Institute of Architects, have ad-
dressed to Secretary Lamont, on behalf
of the chapter. letter IN relation 10 the
Sherman statue. The communication,
among other things, says:
1.-The action of tie committee in charge
Of the Sherman statue 10 be erected in
Washington by inviting expert advice in
the selection Of the design was worthy Of
and received the highest praise from edu-
Gated people Interested in the improve
ment Of government art, and oil artists,
architects and art associations Of the co,In-
try.
The same committee by selecting a de-
sign both for the second competition and
adoption in no way approved by the ex-
perts have struck a fatal blew to the ad-
:ancemcnt of art in this country.
The only way to obtain the best work
Is by inducing the foremost artists of the
country to compete.
1.-The only way to obtain such designs is
by assuring the competitors cf a final Sc
lection by their peers.
1.-The action of the committee in charge
of the Sherman competition throws a doubt
on any future competition. no matter how
enticing the program may be.
I'VE feel that for the good Of the sity
the present and future standing of art
in this country, and the announcement of
the most capable mon rendering service
to the government, the committee should
change their decision. or that Congress,
which gives three-fourths of the money
for this statue. should overrule their de-
cisiop and have another selection made
based on expert advice.
I'VE recommend in all future competi-
tions that expert committee shall he
appointed to select the site, draw up the
program and make a final decision on the
artistic merits of the statue. monument or
building which Is under consideration"
