Hiss rAnn Fletcher, the director OF
CLASSES in the Richmond Art Club, has
lately returned from h three montl,s'
stay in Paris. where she studied with
Colin, Courtois. Preuet and did copying
in the Louvre. The following account Of
Miss Fletchcr's Impressions Of French
and American art and Of the recognition
accorded by foreign schools to American
art will be found most interesting. she
says:
The foundation OF an artistic career
can be very much moro rapidly laid Tor
an American in America Than In Paris.
In the first place this arises from the
difficulty American students experience
In correctly experimenting criticisms given
In French. and in the second because the
element of personal interest and personal
attention holds q high place IN trio
American art schools.
"On the other hand the development
Of an advanced art student Is greatly
facilitated by the opportunities which
the constant recognition OF art In every
way by the French government affords
I'm Paris there Is q closer connection
between professionals and advanced pu-
pills outside Of the school than in
America. But so far as l have seen. the
average of work Is very much higher in
American schools. One OF the best
American masters said last summer that
Americans were making the best copies
done In the Louvre and were copying the
best pictures.

Taken as a whole Kalispell has
some very bright and brainy people
who are always ready for an ad-
