The Art Gallery Location.

To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal
People who like to look at pictures are
probably agreed that the best site yet
spoken of is the Hendricks place. The ex-
hibits of the Art Association paid expenses
when they were near Washington
street provided that the pictures were in
teresting. Poor pictures never draw. The
free-show folks who rush to the free Sun
day picture exhibits are not the picture
lovers of the community. Those who love
to look at pictures are perfectly willing to
pay for looking. The pretense that the
Western Association paintings educate the
public in art is detestable; those awful
daubs are an injury to art and taste. The
public does not need to be educated in art.
The public knows good art already. If the
Art Association would buy a good $4,000
picture then this entire State would rush to
see it and would pay gladly, with no wish
for gratis view and would pay abundant
ly. The notion that an art gallery must
be planted far away in a park is provincial
and countryfied. The American cities that
do this mark themselves down sunk
slaves to ignorance. Nothing is so dis
agreeable as the metropolitan gallery in
mote. altogether abominable. The Cincin-
natl art gallery is about as bad. All the
other park galleries in America are bur-
lesuues and travesties of what art gal
lery ought to be. In Dresden, Paris, Lon
don. Amsterdam, The Hague and other
great art cities you step from the pave
ment of the center of the town into the
proach Ii at any moment. and that is
where our art ought to be if We are ever
to have any. MARY DEAN.

Supt. GOss's Recommendations as
to Additional Room.

The session of the School Board last night
was taken up mostly in the discussion of
the advisabillty of continuing the calls
thenic classes at school No. 45. Commits
sioner Enrich was most ardently against
continuing the classes, he thought 1t
would set a precedent which the board
would find in time very expensive. and that
it was showing undue Partially to that one
school. In mis- opinion it should be abol-
ished. After lengthy discussion on the mat
ter Commissioner Moores prepared a reso-
luton in which he asked that the classes
be continued until April g. and that no ex-
pense for light. janitor service and tuition
be charged to the school system, but that
it be taken from the Is cents which is
charged for each pupil of the class of over
500 and that II be devoted to covering these
expenses. The resolution was carried with
but one dissenting vote, that of Mr.. EN-
rich.
Superintendent Goss, in his report, recon-
mended the building of forty-six additional
rooms, divided among a number of schools,
to relieve the congested affairs which now
exist. He also recommended the appoint
ment of Claude McGinnis to be assistant
teacher of physics. vice Thomas Sims, re-
signed. Also the appointment of Z. b.
Kent as halliday teacher of manual train
ing in the grades at a salary of $45 a
month. Mr.. Goss in his report says that In
the event Of the federal government taking
the university square, building of twenty
four rooms could be built on the ground
adjoining the High School to receive the
pupils of school No. 3 and the overflow
from school No. 2. This would also take
about $50 pupils from the High School,
where they now have to use the halls for
Rotations, owing to the lack of room.
