chairmen selected: Mrs. James A. Baker,
ways and means; Mr.. Utterhack public

work OF the first is TO provide the means
for purchasing works of art for the schools,
the second to visit the schools and report
upon what is most needed towards their
decoration and The third is to pass upon
pictures, statuary. etc. to be placed in the
school rooms
The work of this league should appeal
strongly to every man or woman who has
child studying in any of the public
schools and really it should be matter
of pride to all Houstonans to see that
this. the first Art league in Texas, should
be a success. The way to do this is for
all the citizens OF Houston to join in with
the directory by attending the meeting
and giving the easily spared sum of so
cents year for its support. Thus will
the league be able to go on in its beauti-
full work and the schools of Houston
glory to the city and ar example to the
